Imperial Palace, Cining Palace

Chu Qianqiu returned to Beijing from Fengzhou, and never thought about going over to see the Queen Mother, not because he was afraid of her, but because he felt a little complicated in his heart.

Although he will not regret killing General Dou, the conflict between the two sides will normally have one side fall.

But after all, it was the head of the Dou family who sent him away, so it was naturally not easy to meet.

Unexpectedly, Chu Qianqiu had just arranged for the Xuanwu Divine Beast to fly back to Fengzhou, and then from Fengzhou to Yuzhou, so he waited for the will of the Queen Mother.

"Lord Zhongwu, since you returned to Shangjing, you have always turned a blind eye to the mourning family."

"Could it be that you have an opinion about the mourning family?"

The Empress Dowager sat on the phoenix chair, and said with some dissatisfaction, which made Chu Qianqiu's breath shrink, and said in a low voice:

"If you go back to Niangniang, Weichen doesn't dare."

"If you don't dare, come and talk."

"Yes, sissy."

Chu Qianqiu walked over, the maids of Cining Palace seemed to be accustomed to this, anyway, in the early years, the Empress Dowager was rumored to have dealings with Yi Daoren, and now there is a little news with Chu Zhongwu, and there is no fuss.

They hurriedly withdrew, not looking at what they shouldn't have seen.

As long as I don't see it, it just doesn't happen.

"My father didn't embarrass you, he's a little old and confused, and he won't necessarily listen to the words of the mourning family."

"The mourning family once sent Luo Bing to persuade her father, but she was driven back by her father."

"Could it be that Chu Zhongwu has already done a private fight with his father?"

The Queen Mother already couldn't hold back the conjecture in her heart, with her understanding of her father, she belonged to the type that was more uncomfortable than killing him.

It is incredible that there was no conflict between the two sides.

"Back to Niangniang's words, General Dou is reasonable......"

Chu Qianqiu naturally wouldn't be stupid, and told the Queen Mother that she had killed her father.

"Tell the truth."

The Queen Mother is not easy to deceive, it is not easy for her to maintain herself under the suppression of the old emperors.

"Yes, the lower official did a fight with the general, and then I won."

Chu Qianqiu took a step back, blurring the truth of the facts, he didn't want to turn against the Queen Mother, so he had to hide it for the time being.

After some time, General Dou died of illness again, burying the possible conflict between the two.

"No wonder."

"Then Lord Zhongwu, what do you think of the Dou family." The Queen Mother sighed, of course, she definitely didn't expect that Chu Qianqiu would be so bold.

"Rest assured, Fengzhou is generally calm now, and there will be no major turmoil."

"As long as the Dou family does not violate the king's law, Weichen will not embarrass the Dou family, nor will people bully the Dou family."

Chu Qianqiu said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

The power of the Dou family is very strong, even without General Dou, there is still one manifestation and five gatherings.

The strength of one of their families is equivalent to the sum of a top second-rate force, and the Hehuan Sect may not be able to come up with so many masters, let alone control the army.

If the Dou family doesn't bully others, it's time to recite Amitabha.

"How many nobles in this world don't bully others?"

"Everyone likes to bully others and bully the weak."

"Even if the mourning family orders the elders of the clan to restrain their children, at most, they will not bully the ordinary people, which is too bad."

The Queen Mother shook her head and said.

The Dou family is also one of the top landlords in Fengzhou, and Fengdeng Grain is the Dou family.

One-sixth of Fengzhou's land belongs to the army, one-sixth belongs to the King Kong Temple, and one-sixth belongs to the Dou family.

The rest of the land is the miscellaneous fish sect, small and medium-sized landlords, and yeoman farmers.

After three years of famine, the proportion of land occupied by the army, King Kong Temple, and the Dou family has been greatly improved.

In a sense, Chu Qianqiu and Wang Qiumo, the objects of their tossing are only small and medium-sized landlords and squires who occupy one-sixth of the land.

It can be said that in the room of Fengzhou, there are two elephants.

Chu Qianqiu and Wang Qiu Demon were just dealing with the evil fox, and the real elephant was not punished more heavily.

However, due to Chu Qianqiu's deterrence, the King Kong Temple and the Dou family are spitting out the land property that has been encroached upon in recent years, and the county officials in various places are also reconfirming the land property to help the displaced people return to their hometowns.

"The Dou family occupies too much land, manors, and shops, which will naturally attract the peeps of others."

"With the strength of the Dou family, it is still not a big problem to keep the industry within a hundred years."

"Please rest assured."

Chu Qianqiu controlled General Dou and began to rectify the Dou family, and he still had a good understanding of the Dou family's crimes.

is not much different from ordinary local tyrants and inferior gentry.

"And what about a hundred years from now?"

The Queen Mother continued to ask.

"What do you mean?"

"Lord Zhongwu, do you want to inherit the position of the general of the Shence Army?"

"What did you say, mother?"

"How can the lower official be virtuous?"

Chu Qianqiu was really taken aback this time.

I'm a young marshal of the Shenwei Army, why do I want to be the general of the Shence Army.

Isn't this outrageous opening the door to the outrageous, outrageous to the home?

"Do you want it or not?"

The Queen Mother looked at Chu Qianqiu's surprised expression and became a little proud.

This guy, who controlled everything from beginning to end, was finally frightened, and his mood suddenly improved a lot.

"A few days ago, Qinghe sent someone to ask Liu Dutong, and he refused the position of the general of the Shenwei Army."

"Both the mourning family and His Majesty know that he wants to give you this position."

"Now that you have quelled the famine in Fengzhou, it can be regarded as a high level of hard work, Liu Dutong has waited for so many years, and he should also be promoted to the position of general."

"Then the imperial court transferred you to the Shence Army as a general, wouldn't it be just right, killing multiple birds with one stone."

"Mother, this is too strange."

Chu Qianqiu suddenly remembered that the former Empress Dowager had thought of putting herself in the Shenwu Army, and even replacing Xu Guogong. (Note: Chapter 383)

At that time, Chu Qianqiu would not agree to such a condition at all, because he had no ability to get support in the Shenwu Army at all.

And now the Queen Mother has changed her method and asked him to replace General Dou.

"Isn't that weird?"

"Your current strength, the mourning family can't see through it, it's much stronger than your father."

"The Dou family also needs someone to support you in the future, when you go to Yuzhou this time and quell the Jingwang Rebellion, no one in the entire Shenwu Dynasty will be able to oppose you."

"Don't say that under one person, above ten thousand, that little girl in Qinghe will listen to you at all."

The Queen Mother sighed and said that she had to think about the future of the family, thinking about the Dou family a hundred years later, and herself a hundred years later.

"The mourning family can see very clearly, you are not a murderous person."

"The Li family has offended you, you can let Li Mingde be your head of civil officials."

"The Tang family has offended you, and you can also use it for yourself."

"If the mourning family wants to entrust the Dou family, they naturally have to entrust a reliable person."

Chu Qianqiu is not soft-hearted, but he has never killed excessively, and in the noble class, he is a very clean character.

Even his enemies would admit it.

There are pros and cons to this approach, and if there are disadvantages, just like a character like King Jing, you have to try to rebel, and you won't be willing if you don't try.

The upside, if any, is that it is easier for the enemy to surrender.

If you are overly murderous, the enemy may not dare to jump out, and if you do, they will die with you.

And Chu Qianqiu did not have a reputation for killing, so the Queen Mother was willing to entrust the Dou family to him and help him take charge of the Shence Army.

A drink and a peck, all are predetermined.

"Chu Qianqiu, are you willing or unwilling?"

"Niangniang has orders, and Weichen doesn't dare to refuse."
