Return of the Swallow

"That's true. Marquis Zhongyong's heroic achievements have been heard many times in the court as a father. He was a very remarkable man. It's a pity that there is no holiday in the sky." Qin Huaiyuan sighed and felt very sorry.

Qin Yining also felt that the man married such a daughter-in-law, and in the end he still had the tragic death method with different opinions. It was a pity that he was a good person.

Qin Huaiyuan asked Qin Yining again: "Sister Yi, ask you for your father, do you know why Mrs. Zhongyong Hou targeted you?"

Qin Yining said, "She is on good terms with the eldest princess Anyang. The eldest princess Anyang hates me, so she also hates Wu Jiwu."

Qin Huaiyuan nodded, "What else?"

Qin Yining thought about it for a while, and then said, "With her temperament, I think she is unwilling because she has been trying to attract Pang Zhixi's attention and failed."

"That's one of them. What else?"

Qin Yining thought for a while, some thoughts flashed in his mind, but he was not sure.

Qin Huaiyuan said: "The Holy Family won Beiji with the financial support of the aristocratic family, but after the war, in the days of peace, the existence of the aristocratic family conflicted with the imperial power. , The family can't act rashly, the two have been wrestling for the past few years, secret disputes have been constant, but the face has always been calm, and there are frequent small frictions, but it has not yet reached the point of tearing the face."

Qin Yining nodded, somewhat understanding.

Seeing Qin Yining's expression, Qin Huai explained with a smile:

"The battle between the sage and the family has a long history. For a long time, the sage, with the military power in the hands of his cronies, has been able to draw a tie with the family. How to cut off Pang Zhixi's military power is enough to see this.

"The sage also knows that there are gaps between some nobles and his heart, and I believe that the confrontation between the sage and the family will not be less. The friction accumulated in this way has caused the balance between the sage and the family to begin to tilt, and the court is in urgent need of new The power to help him balance the family, Xungui, and the old officials of Beiji, but he doesn't want the new power to hold the military power like Xungui is difficult to grasp."

Hearing Qin Huaiyuan's remarks, Qin Yining really felt as if he had been empowered.

"Father, I understand! A subordinate minister of the Dayan Dynasty like you is the power that the Sage desperately needs. At first, I only knew that there were ministers from Beiji and the Sage's cronies in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but I didn't know that there were many behind the scenes. The existence of a great family."

"You are in the boudoir after all,

The contacts are limited, so the knowledge is not comprehensive. " Qin Huaiyuan said with a smile, "Once I tell you the matter, you will soon be able to make it happen. "

Qin Yining's face was a little hot when Qin Huaiyuan said it, but he still said: "Those big families who have been here for more than a hundred years may have a background that is worthy of a dynasty like the Northern Ji Kingdom. They have prosperous descendants and involve all walks of life. There must be a lot of people in the hall.”

"You're right." Qin Huaiyuan nodded and said, "This is the strength of the family, and it is also what the sage is afraid of. The Great Zhou Jianguo has only been built for more than three years and less than four years. The treasury of Baikong was empty, and the rebel armies at the beginning of the Great Zhou Dynasty were not all orthodox soldiers, and the peasant army that rose up also had many political drawbacks. However, the family has stood for a hundred years and formed its own faction, not to mention the saint, the original The old ministers of Beiji, and the honorable and noble like Pang Zhixi, should be courteous three points when they meet the Lumen family." \u003e

"That's why the eldest Princess Anyang calls Mrs. Lu's sister so polite to her?"

"Exactly." Qin Huaiyuan whispered, "Although the sage has already taken the throne, he is very uncomfortable. In the army he leads, his prestige and voice are not as good as those of Pang Zhixi and Ji Lan.

"The fighting strength of the Hu Ben army and the Longxiang army is equally astonishing, but the Hu Ben army is even more a headache for the saint, because Pang Zhixi is too charming, and most of the Hu Ben army are Pang Zhixi's cronies. If Pang Zhixi secretly can mobilize the Hu Ben army to go out to find you without using the tiger talisman, you will know.

"In contrast, Ji Lan is arrogant and indifferent. Although he is very famous in the army, his personality is a little worse. The men of Longchong's army are loyal to him and obey orders, but they are not easy to be easily mobilized. ."

Qin Yining nodded and said: "I understand, the sage's own cronies are the nobles who hold military power, but the two giants in the nobles are unstable factors, especially Pang Zhixi, so the saint will suppress Pang Zhixi in every possible way. Depriving him of his military power, giving him the battlefield among the civil servants and tying him with an eagle, while provoking the relationship between him and Ji Lan, and making Ji Lan the son-in-law of the royal family."

"You're right." Qin Huaiyuan nodded.

"That's why the saint's cronies and nobles are so troublesome, not to mention the great family who once provided gold and silver help to the saint.

"In the eyes of those aristocratic families, maybe the insurgent army of the sage cannot reach the high platform at all. In addition, the grievances between the surrendered ministers of the Northern Hebei and the sage, although they surrendered, don't most people feel sorry for the demise of saving the country? The forces of these parties are difficult to mediate, so it is no wonder that the sage wants to accept Dayan's surrender."

"You're right. The sage wants to be able to master Dayan's surrender. Even if he can't master it immediately, at least he can do it to win people's hearts, and giving charcoal in the snow is often more memorable than icing on the cake."

After Qin Huaiyuan finished speaking, he took up the tea bowl to eat tea. The room was quiet, only the red candle in the silk lantern burst loudly.

Qin Yining pondered for a long time before saying: "Father, the way my daughter had dealt with Madam Zhongyong Hou was not appropriate, because her daughter was confused. Although it was easy for the person who told me not to sell the house to her, it would be difficult to slap Madam Zhongyong Hou in the face. At the same time, he slapped the aristocratic family of Lumen. This is not worth the loss. I think we need to think of a way not to offend the aristocratic family, but also to punish Mrs. Lu. "

Qin Huaiyuan said: "We are new here, it's not appropriate to offend the Lu family at the beginning. But at the beginning, let a widow be on your head, it will inevitably make people look down on us, and more people will do the same in the future. study?"

"What my father said is," Qin Yining nodded in agreement, suddenly a flash of light flashed in his mind, and lowered his voice, "Father, do you think this matter was arranged by the sage?"

Qin Huaiyuan looked at Qin Yining with a smile in his eyes again.

"That's exactly what the Lord said to you when the Father came tonight."

Qin Yining thought about it, and felt more and more suspicious, and the speed of his speech became more urgent.

"The Holy One wants to win over his father as a confidant. He clearly knows that when we first came to Dazhou, our foundation was not stable. Once there was a conflict with the Lumen family, it would definitely be very hard. Therefore, the Holy One is very likely to order the eldest princess of Anyang to beat Madam Lu and lead Mrs. Lu has a conflict with our family. My daughter is watching from the sidelines these days.
