Chapter 185

After a while, Jiang Yashuang, dressed in blue summer clothes, returned to the residence of the state of Qin. Outside the study, he adjusted his clothes. After entering, he saluted respectfully: "grandfather!"

The Duke of Qin stroked his long beard and said lazily, "get up, come and tell me what happened to you when you went to Xihe palace the other day? None of your brothers and sisters will not be scolded. Even my aunt and I will not be scolded for not being strict! "

The old Duke has passed the age of Huajia, but his face is ruddy and hale and hearty. So far, he can still dance the long halberds weighing dozens of Jin without splashing water. He was dressed in a half old Confucian shirt. When he sat behind his desk, he was a scholar. He was not like a military general but a scholar. In fact, Jiang QianChuan's talent and learning were better than the general scholar. Otherwise, he would not be able to teach his grandson himself.

Jiang Yashuang has been reporting his studies to his grandfather face to face from the beginning of his painting. There has never been a gap between his grandparents and grandchildren. At the moment, he is not nervous after hearing this question. He comes to him in accordance with his words and says solemnly, "my grandson is going to come and ask my grandfather for a sin!"

"After that, I'll go to the palace to ask for your fourth aunt's pardon - and then I'll make a compensation with your brother. That's how it goes?" The Duke of Qin squinted at him, "is there such a good way to pass?"

Jiang Yashuang's innocent face: "I didn't say anything where my brothers had been implicated in me in the past!"

"What about me and your fourth aunt?" The Duke of Qin humed.

"My grandfather and my fourth aunt have always loved me..." Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the Duke of Qin: "you know that we love you, and drag us into the water? What did I say before? Big head, we've done it for you. You can practice your hand at the last little thing! What's the result? Did you go around or hit us on the head? It's easy to bully you if it hurts, isn't it? Reluctant to be scolded by my sweetheart, I pushed my grandfather and aunt out to be scolded - you unfilial grandson! It hurts you for nothing! "

Jiang Yashuang was told by him, but he laughed: "at the beginning, you said that I would do the ending. You don't care what I can do..."

"You are a tired and lazy boy!" The Duke of Qin scolded, "do you have such a schemer!"

However, the Duke of Qin didn't pay much attention to it. He said, "that's how it goes I'll take care of you if you are so unfilial in the future! "

Jiang Yashuang smiled and asked, "grandfather asked me to come here today not just for this, right?"

"Of course not." The Duke of Qin said carelessly, "what we don't strive for in our family I don't have to do anything else if I want everyone to yell and scold me! " Take out a letter from the sleeve, "there's a letter in the north of Xinjiang. Have a look."

"Is it my father's?" he said Take a look but Leng way, "is uncle's?"

As a young brother of Kui County man and the Duke of Qin, it is not unusual for the Duke of Ji Bei to communicate with the Duke of Qin. But the letters between their older brothers are rarely shown to the younger generation.

Jiang Ya frost is the closest grandson of the Duke of Qin, but it's the first time to see his letter directly. I dare not neglect it. After reading the letter, he handed his hands back to the Duke of Qin, who was a little surprised and asked, "uncle is going to be an official?"

"Three years ago, when he had an old wound, I wanted to call him back to Beijing to take care of himself!" The Duke of Qin stroked his thigh and sighed, "when Hu Nu cut him here, he almost had the whole leg Although it is said that he was robbed by his own soldiers and saved by the Chinese army, he fell ill! When it's cloudy and rainy, it's hard to live! To the north, it's rare to see the sun several times a year! It's just that he's worried that your father won't be able to hold the spikes in the northern army It's going to take a few more years! "

The old man sighed, "now that your father is on his feet, he can't hold on I would like to come to Beijing! " Sangzikui County of Jiangjia has been rainy for many years, which is not suitable for the old age of the Marquis of Jibei. Therefore, the most suitable place for this marquis to live after his retirement is Changqing in Beijing.

Jiang Yashuang said in a deep voice, "my uncle has been in the army all his life, but now he is in office because of his injuries. It is impossible for the imperial court not to express it. However, the Marquis is already in my uncle's body, and the three marquis in our Jiangjia family are the heartache of many people. It is because empress Gu will never agree to give the Marquis Jin to my uncle again! Xue Xiang won't agree out of balance - but the reward on money and silk is not enough for his cousin Here? "

The Duke of Qin nodded: "this is a problem. The reward is heavy. Neither the Empress Dowager nor Xue Chang will agree! Although our family is known as "the half of the river", we can't resist the two parties joining hands! The reward is light. Even if your uncle doesn't care, our family's face can't be ignored. "

This is not only a battle of will and spirit, but also means the strength of the Jiang family. Even the brother of the Duke of Qin and the uncle of the empress are not brilliant. What is the future of the empress party?

For this centripetal force, the Jiang family will also force the imperial court to give full respect to the Marquis of Jibei!

"And the fourth aunt has just promised her 15th sister to his Royal Highness the king of Qi." Jiang Ya frost frowned and said, "when my uncle returned to Beijing at this time, the Empress Dowager must suspect that this was done by our family on purpose. The purpose is to seize the potential of the northern army and come back to help the king of Qi seize the reservoir!"

The state of Qin said: "nature. But it's not bad. The king of Qi is not so good as the king of Yan and the king of Zhou. What he can do is that his mother is humble and has the title of eldest son. How can we put him in the position of the eastern palace without careful planning? "It is obvious that the Duke of Qin planned to take advantage of the decision made by the Duke of Jibei to help his daughter's candidate for the throne.

"The wedding of the king of Qi and his fifteen sisters was just after the summer vacation." Jiang Ya frost calculated the next day, "my uncle also plans to return at that time. I heard from my fourth aunt that the Empress Dowager plans to lower Princess Changping to Kuang Qingwu - that's how the northern army and the Western army of the town stand on each side. It's up to the emperor's candidates to compete with the central government!"

"Xue Chang, the old fox, is afraid to stand by again!" The Duke of Qin shook his head slightly and said, "if he doesn't interfere, our family will fight with the Empress Dowager. If there's no accident, it's hard to tell."

Jiang Ya frost thought about the meeting and said: "this time is different from the past. In the past, he didn't stand in line, not only because he was the first emperor and trusted minister, but also because he had a good skill and deep foundation. More because he still has the cover of his majesty, he can refuse the solicitation of the fourth aunt and the Empress Dowager! But now My grandson said to my grandfather: "if you are a king, no matter which side wins, I'm afraid your majesty Even if Xue Xiang doesn't care about the evaluation of his calling himself "loyal king" in the history books, but he is waiting for his majesty to fall into danger, he should also consider how to continue to hold on without his Majesty's cover! "

If the Jiang family wins in the battle of saving the king, the emperor's life will not be guaranteed. After all, the reason why empress Gu was able to be Regent was that her son was the emperor, who had been bothered by Empress Gu's Jiang family for a long time, would definitely choose to let the king of Qi ascend the throne as soon as possible, take advantage of the power of supporting and establishing, and kill the Gu family in the name of the new emperor!

Even if the candidate of Queen Gu won the throne, the emperor would not be so good! Even if empress dowager Gu didn't kill her own flesh and blood, she wouldn't mind her son abdicating to the throne or even abolishing him! Husband and wife together, so the queen of the river naturally did not end well!

In a word, the power of empress Gu, empress Jiang and her mother-in-law is based on the fact that the emperor is their son or husband. Once the emperor is not now, and the new king is not their place, then they have no chance to continue to control the government!

In this case, relying on the banner of "loyalty to the emperor", the neutral party that won't be recruited by the second generation and won't be mixed to seize the reserve, then it can only wait for the winner to clean up!

The Duke of Qin refused to say, "as you say, Xue Chang is more likely to choose the Empress Dowager's side? At least the queen won't hurt his Majesty's life. "

Jiang Ya frost shook his head and said, "not necessarily! After all, the king of Qi chosen by the fourth aunt is the eldest son! At the beginning, when Xue Xiang pulled his Majesty's big flag and declined to invite the fourth aunt and the empress dowager, he carried out the ancient system! Does the ancient system mean that there is a legitimate system and there is no legitimate system? "

In fact, Xue Chang was also driven by the lobbyists sent by the second generation in turn. He took heart and declared that he was a supporter of the ancient system. Since ancient times, those who were ministers were loyal to the emperor, not the Empress Dowager or the empress. Yes, Xue Chang was an emperor party! So you don't come to me, I'm the emperor's ghost!

…… If the emperor wants to change, he will be destroyed by the Empress Dowager party or the empress party. But his Majesty's cowardice index is too high to help him at all! Therefore, Empress Dowager Gu and empress Jiang laugh at the emperor's party, and put all these people into the neutral party - in any case, if the emperor doesn't win, the emperor's party won't win any more!

Back to the main point, Xue Chang's words, although forced to speak out, but many people know. This is the problem. If he wants to stand on the Empress Dowager's side in the battle of saving the monarch, he denies his previous vow of "advocating the ancient system"!

Although it's normal for politicians to be insincere, Xue Chang's "advocating the ancient system" in those days defined himself as the emperor's party. If he denied this respect It also indirectly denied his loyalty to the emperor!

In Xue Chang's position, fame and wealth are all there, and there are good younger generation under his knee. What will be considered is not the position of power, but the way to go - and the evaluation of historical books.

"It's really not easy to pass this level because Xue Chang is a man." The Duke of Qin thought for a moment and nodded, "but he's not pedantic either, so it's hard to say until then." Pondered next, way, "this matter is not urgent now, did not say first. Have you brought your lessons today? Look with me. "

Jiang Yashuang is ready to take out a large roll of rice paper from his sleeve and present it.

The Duke of Qin took it over and spread it out on his desk. After reading it carefully, he showed a trace of satisfaction. He called him to his side and pointed out several places that could be modified. At last, he sighed: "in your generation, about talent, in fact, dan'er is not inferior to you. At the beginning, I taught him how to paint red. I learned much faster than you did! "

Jiang yafrost smiled helplessly: "myna is Sex. I'm in a hurry. I can't sit down. "

"He is spoiled!" As expected, Duke Qin's face quickly cooled down, "it's all your mother's fault! She is not the only one who has been separated from her husband for a long time. No one else can help it. She refuses to accept this grievance. She wants to go to northern Xinjiang to be reunited with your father! I went there, but I doted on dan'er again. I couldn't bear the bitter place he used to be - I said at that time, give him to your grandmother! First of all, it's natural to be a grandmother's foster grandson. Second, although your grandmother is not a relative now, she is the first granddaughter of the late Tao Gong!

"Even if the Taoists have bad descendants, they can be honored as" Seven Scholars in one family, three prime ministers in father and son ". How many can match this and the previous dynasties since ancient times?! Their tutors are better than those of the Manchu Dynasty! ""She is such a fool! At the instigation of your eldest aunt, I thought your grandmother was such a tough person that I entrusted dan'er to the eldest room! As a result, the big room is not strict at all. Sheng Sheng has made a good reading seed and spoiled it into a waste that can only flirt with others! "

Jiang Yashuang listened to his grandfather's complaint quietly, and then whispered: "in fact, my uncle is worried too much. Your grandfather loves him more than his three uncles and their father, seven uncles and eight uncles."

After hearing this, the Duke of Qin was stunned and smiled bitterly for a while. Then he waved his hand: "I'm tired. Go ahead and remember not to slack off."

Both the grandparents and the grandchildren knew that the Duke of Qin swore at Madame Zhuang, but what he really wanted to scold was Jiang Tianao, the eldest nephew. But considering the kindness of Jiang Qianshan, the father of Jiang Tianao, the Duke of Qin could not scold this nephew, so he could only be angry with his wife who was bewitched by Jiang Tianao and his wife

When Jiang Yashuang came to the door, the Duke of Qin called out to him again: "officially go to the autumn family to propose marriage. Tell your grandmother, let her do it for you When it's settled, you can also concentrate on reviewing books. Don't be distracted any more! "

"Yes!" Jiang Ya frost hurriedly promised, "my grandson will be ready for the exam, and I will never let my grandfather down!"

"Go!" The Duke of Qin looked at his childish face and sighed.
