Chapter Thirty-Four: It's Time to Speed Up the Struggle for the Prince!
When the ladies in the garden were intriguing, a thatched house in the corner of the palace was covered with vines and red, white and white flowers, attracting bees and butterflies to be busy. There is a waterwheel on the ditch not far away, which is washed by the unhurried canal water, turning over the water, and the mountain wind blows, which brings a burst of coolness to the thatched house.
Outside the thatched house, by the low hedge, the river cliff frost wears a crimson summer shirt, a golden crown and a jade belt, and stands under a large locust tree with lush leaves.
The scorching summer sun sprinkled mottled points of light from the dense branches and leaves, illuminating his face like a beautiful jade, a smile at the corner of his mouth, like a spring breeze, and his eyes were blazing between Gu Pan, showing more and more dark and bright eyes, heroic and compelling.
It's just that after he stood under the locust tree for a long time, his soft smile like a spring breeze became more and more stiff, and he finally couldn't help but look up and ask the tree: "You really can't come down?" ”
"Absolutely not down!" A resentful voice came from among the trees, and a corner of the emerald green robe could be seen along the prestige, which was extremely inconspicuous among the green leaves of midsummer. Around this, a white palm stretched out, quickly dragged the corner of the shirt up, hid it between the branches and leaves, and cut the railway, "If you leak the news that I am here to anyone, then we will have no friendship in the future, and the priorities of the matter are so good!" ”
"It's just that you have a few fights with Yongfu, as for you to put on this posture of bitterness and hatred?" Jiang Yashuang sighed, "You were beaten by Ah Xing, you have grown up since you were a child, and you are not used to it?" When Yongfu was learning martial arts, my fourth aunt was afraid that she would hurt herself, so she was only allowed to learn some boxing and kicking, and she was not allowed to learn knives and guns at all. ”
"What do you know!" Ou Bicheng angrily brushed aside the branches and leaves, lowered his voice and shouted at him, "She is not my opponent at all, every time she wins, she will continue to fight, until she wins - I can't help but admit defeat, I think it's a big deal to listen to a few words of ridicule, but she won a few games in a row and actually wanted me to worship her as a teacher!" Are you kidding! Even if she is a princess, as for bullying people like this! I can't beat you and A-Xing, but how can I be weak enough to worship her as a teacher! ”
Jiang Yashuang couldn't help but smile: "Then don't you just ignore her?" It's a big deal to go to the palace so that she can't find you! ”
He and Princess Yongfu are childhood sweethearts, like brothers and sisters, and he naturally knows the strength of the princess very well - most of that bit of boxing and kicking is still taught by him! Originally, Princess Yongfu was not very talented in this area, and she couldn't afford to endure hardships when she was pampered, so how could she learn so much? It's just a bit of a show.
Although Ou Bicheng's martial arts are not very good in Jiang Yashuang's opinion, in the end, he is the son of a military general, and there is no pressure to clean up Yongfu.
It's just that Yongfu's identity is special, she is looking for Ou Bi Cheng to learn, how dare Ou Bi Cheng really fight her? Even if you win, you will also give you the dignity of eternal happiness; In order to please the princess, the guards in front of Yongfu praised her for her outstanding talent and strength, and she was simply a martial arts wizard at the level of the world......
Yongfu didn't fully believe this, but under the praise of the unscrupulous entourage, the princess still had a great misunderstanding of her true strength - she pondered: "My cousin and Ah Xing must be better than me, but Oubi Cheng ......"
Anyway, the princess is very idle, so she grinds into Oubi City and prepares to have a good time as a master - how can Oubi City be willing to sacrifice so much for the princess on a whim?
Originally, he practiced martial arts with Jiang Yashuang and his own sister Ou Qinglan, but in the end, even his own sister could beat him down casually - it was already very embarrassing! Worship a princess who has not squatted up to the standard so far, this flattering nobleman can't be shameless to this point, okay? Even if he really dared to throw away the light festival as the earl's son, he had to consider whether the elders in the family would clean up the portal in anger, right?
Listening to Jiang Yashuang's suggestion, Ou Bicheng resisted the urge to vomit blood and said, "You said it simply, she can't find me, but can she find A-Xing?" Since Cousin Xin's incident, Ah Xing has looked at me horizontally and vertically, and she just wants to make me some trouble...... Who do you think I'm provoking whom? Is this marriage thing barely possible? I've always regarded Cousin Xin as my own sister, and I haven't abandoned her from the beginning! ”
"I think she has always been friends with Cousin Xin, so she feels sorry for Cousin Xin's haggard these days, right? Girls play a little sex. Children are also common, don't worry too much. Jiang Yashuang's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he comforted, "Yongfu, I'll go back and help you persuade you...... Let her stop messing with you like this. ”
Ou Bicheng breathed a sigh of relief: "She has always listened to you...... You have to persuade with your heart! ”
"Then you come down and talk?"
"No! In case someone is seen to tell her, this will chase her and toss, even if you persuade her, I guess we won't be able to talk about it today. Ou Bicheng thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Although there is the sound of water here, with your ears, it is not difficult for us to talk like this, why do you have to let me go down?" ”
Jiang Yashuang said helplessly: "It's not difficult for me to do this, but if I don't raise my voice, can you hear it?" What's next......? ”
Ou Bicheng said with a sad face: "Then you call your subordinates over - isn't Lord Qiu in the palace?" Ask her to pester the Eternal Blessing Society so that I can be reassured? ”
"She has another appointment today--I will send Yongfu here, and you also said it, she has always listened to me." Jiang Yashuang persuaded Ou Bicheng to get off the tree, and the two sat down together at the stone table under the tree, because they were worried that Princess Yongfu would not have time to speak after coming to disturb her, so they all got straight to the point: "Is Qin Guogong's illness serious?" If it's not good, you must notify the general in the fastest way! ”
Speaking of business, Ou Bicheng's face immediately became serious, and he no longer had the helplessness and scoundrel when he was afraid of Princess Yongfu when he was lying on the tree.
Jiang Yashuang's gaze gradually deepened: "The illness is really sick, otherwise, with grandfather's self-discipline and not a celebration banquet where the overall situation has been decided, how can he get drunk?" However, the doctor assures that the minimum is eight. Nine days, and half a moon long, will be able to see things as usual. ”
Ou Bicheng breathed a sigh of relief: "So, it's just a little sick? Then there is no need to inform the general at all costs......"
"It's just a temporary stop!" Jiang Yashuang flashed a touch of complexity on his face, and said lightly, "My grandmother quietly told me that my grandfather this time is a recurrence of an old injury that fell when he was waiting for the end of his life - if you want to heal completely, it is impossible to recuperate for a year and a half without letting go of many worries!" ”
"How long does it take to recur? What happens in case of recurrence? Ou Bicheng's face changed suddenly when he heard this!
Jiang Yashuang was expressionless: "If I suppress it this time, it is estimated that I can keep it fine for three or five years - what will happen if I recur later, but it's hard to say." ”
Different from his concern for his grandfather in an indifferent tone, Ou Bicheng's consideration of Qin Guogong's condition was completely from the perspective of the situation, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said with his head bowed: "Then to deal with this seizure of the prince, there should be enough time." ”
"But my idea is to make a quick decision, let the overall situation settle as soon as possible, and let my grandfather start recuperating early." Jiang Yashuang said in a deep voice, "After all, you know - although my grandfather is physically tough, in the end, he is getting older!" ”
Ou Bicheng sensed the faint anxiety in his heart, and said, "Who doesn't want to be in power as soon as possible?" It's just that the matter is big, and the so-called speed is not reached, so it is better to be safe! ”
Knowing that Jiang Yashuang was raised by Qin Guogong, his ancestors and grandsons were deeply affectionate, and he was afraid that he would not listen, so he slowed down his tone and said, "What's more, judging from the increasingly fierce actions on both sides now, the battle between the princes should not be fought for another three or five years, and it may not be delayed until Qin Guogong's illness attacks again, and he can finally start recuperating in advance." If you fall short because of your impatience, you will let the old man's hard work go to waste! ”
Jiang Yashuang glanced at him: "I'll be honest with you, you know the hole card on our side." But this hole card is not always available, must be a moment not to say, after using out if you can not achieve the effect overnight, it is equivalent to the waste of more than half! Compared to the most critical thing, three or five years...... Hard! ”
Ou Bicheng will know: "Zhenxi Army...... Although there should still be old people who miss Ruan and Qiu, but now the head of the family is finally cold. ”
This is the fundamental reason why even if Xue Chang was determined to cooperate with the Queen Party, he refused to expose it in advance, and only promised to give the Queen Mother Party a shot at the critical moment - not only that this famous minister wanted to announce his personal vendetta and keep his reputation, but in the final analysis, he was worried about the Zhenxi Army!
In terms of the comparison of political forces, Xue Chang will definitely win the Queen Mother's Party after joining forces with the Queen Party.
The problem is that the military card on the side of the Queen Mother's party is cold, and there is an uncommon enmity with the Jiang family's daughter-in-law, Qiu Lulan, who kills her father! Therefore, if the Queen Mother Party falls into an absolute disadvantage, the situation can only go all the way to the dark.
In case he can't think about it, he simply ignores the Western Barbarians, and leads his troops back to the Central Plains to kill a fish and a dead net - with the situation Shihan's revenge on General Ruan's kindness, the queen's party side discussed it at the top and agreed that he can definitely do such a heartbreaking thing!
And with the elite level of the Zhenxi Army, only the Zhenbei Army can resist them!
If the Zhenbei Army does not move, it is mainly to fight against the guests in Beijing, and the Jiang family will definitely not allow it; The Zhenbei army moved, what about Beihu? What to do?!
Even if these two alien races don't take advantage of the fire to rob, the two elites in Zhenbei and Zhenxi are consumed internally, what will they do to defend the country and protect peace in the future? !
At that time, even if the queen party supports the seven princes to ascend the throne smoothly, this Da Rui will definitely turn from prosperity to decline, and maybe there will be a broken river and mountain...... This is definitely not the result that the Queens want!
"It's not time for the Zhenxi Army to make a move, after all, my brother is still not filial!" Jiang Yashuang sighed, "The day of my brother's filial piety is at the end of the year, and the season is not suitable for westward travel!" And I'm still hesitant about whether to let my brother go to the Zhenxi Army after his filial piety, after all, my father-in-law has only one heir...... What an accident happened, I can't explain it to your sister-in-law! ”
Using Qiu Jinglan to deal with the cold situation, this is the strategy that the Jiang family decided after knowing Qiu Jinglan's life experience - there is no more suitable person than him: the life experience of the former Xihe King and the grandson of the old general Ruan and the heir of the Ruan family, can awaken the background of the Ruan and Qiu families in the Zhenxi Army to the greatest extent, and they still have talents and appearances and means, and they are simply the young master candidates coveted by people like old subordinates, old slaves, and old ministers all over the world.
The most important thing is that this is also Qiu Jinglan's own purpose, not afraid that he will not do his best.
The Jiang family used him to clean up the cold situation, so as to directly shake the foundation of the Queen Mother's party, and get twice the result with half the effort; He wants to take revenge and regain what should have belonged to him, and with the help of the Jiang family, he can also get twice the result with half the effort - this cooperation is a great joy for all, especially based on the marriage between Qiu Yulan and Jiang Yashuang.
Regarding Zhenxijun and his party, Jiang Yashuang and Qiu Jinglan had discussed it several times in private - of course, they hid it from Qiu Yulan every time.
However, after Qiu Jinglan really made the trip, Qiu Jinglan would know sooner or later.
She is such a brother, and it was not easy for her to recognize each other - with Jiang Yashuang's understanding of his wife, Qiu Lulan would definitely rather not take revenge than let her brother take this risk!
So he was very hesitant, "Our manpower over there ......"
"None of them can be used!" Ou Bicheng immediately shook his head, "It's okay to investigate and pass on the news, and the best thing to mix is to be a partial general under Shi Han, and want to get involved in the military power of Zhenxi...... How can it be? Except for Qiu Jinglan, no one can do this, you can't go! And how did your father-in-law die? How can you not avenge the murder of your father? Maybe someone can not report it, but Qiu Jinglan ...... Judging by how you describe him, what kind of person do you think he is?! ”
Jiang Yashuang was silent: his brother-in-law, under the cover of talent and gentleness, is unimaginable ruthless and deep in the hearts of ordinary people, how can this kind of person give up revenge!
"I'll think again." I know it, but thinking of Qiu Jinglan's frightened appearance after Qiu Jinglan's assassination, Jiang Yashuang still felt a little troubled in her heart, "...... Zhenxi Army here, anyway, it will be at least next year, let's talk about it for now, grandfather can suppress his condition for the time being, and there should be no trouble in the overall situation. ”
"It's just that this dispute between the princes and the prince is still just the king of Zhou and the seven princes pinching each other, like children playing at home...... It's time for a change! ”
