Chapter 567 Want to be Emperor?
In fact, the large empire, to say that no one can really stop that so far still silent Yu Qinghan may not be the problem is, whether the empire can hold, related to the entire Qingzhou Su’s future!
Therefore, the first and foremost thing that the candidate for guarding the city should do is to make the Su family trust him, otherwise, even if he is talented, the Su family will not be able to give him this important task!
And because of the Marquis of Yan’s support for King Su, even though there is now a disconnect between the Su family and the Su family, they are unanimous on the big issue of supporting King Su to ascend to the throne so Su Shaoge immediately considered Lv Qinghong of the Marquis of Yan after having no one at hand himself.
As for the other generalship talents in the city, Su Shaoge could listen to their advice, but would definitely not give the forbidden army directly to their command!
Now Su Bofeng said, if Lu Qinghong can’t hold up Yu Qinghan’s siege, they can only abandon the capital and break out, but it is the truth the two requirements of comprehensive ability and trustworthiness, Lu Qinghong is already their only candidate.
And at this time, Lu Qinghong was looking at Yu Qinghan’s record this record was of course provided by the Su family, Su Shaoge had obviously prepared it a long time ago, and before Jian Xubai could send someone to the Jihou Mansion to request it, he had already ordered it to be delivered to his door.
“How was it?” After Lu Qinghong finished reading, he closed his eyes and pondered for a long time before opening his eyes, and Jian Xu Bai immediately asked with concern.
“It’s not easy to say.” Lu Qinghong revealed a rare look of gravity and said, “After all, this Yu Qinghan hasn’t participated in the crusade against the Wuhuan, and so far, the reason that made the Su family scrupulous about him was because of the talent that he displayed during the military projections, which time and time again overpowered Yang Jue, who was actually already performing well.”
“But the problem is that Yang Jue’s qualifications as a general aren’t really particularly good they’re just at the level of being a partial general!”
“So through Yang Jue’s observation, it’s hard to judge Yu Qing Han’s talent.”
“And before, the Su family didn’t expect that they would one day face off against this person, so they only noticed that he was quite talented, but didn’t further test and confirm his true abilities.”
“Above all, this man’s performances to date have been in drills only, and he has not been involved in a formal war.”
“So not only can’t you judge his strength, you can’t even know his style of behavior or how he responds to things!”
Lu Qinghong paused when he said this, “The best outcome now is that even though this person is talented, he will be on his own for the first time, so it is inevitable that his hands will be busy and something will go wrong although, the possibility of this will not be very high!”
Jian Xu Bai nodded approvingly, if it wasn’t for Su Shao Ge’s personal visit to the door, the Marquis of Yan wouldn’t have noticed this person until now, after all, Yu Qing Han’s previous experience wasn’t anything very dazzling.
However, even though Su Shaoge and Su Bofeng hadn’t passed on the Su family’s talent in military affairs, as the descendants of a general’s family, or the highly valued direct descendants of a general, they definitely had sufficient eyesight in judging the caliber of a general.
This is like the royal children, even if they have little interest in the treasures and games, since childhood, it is impossible to really know nothing like the ordinary family.
This Yu Qinghan simply didn’t have a battle record to show for it in the past, but right now, Su Shaoge showed enough scorn for him, so it was evident that he was definitely not a good person to deal with!
“In fact, even if something goes wrong because he suddenly assumes the role of the commanderinchief right now, there is nothing we can do about it.” After Jian Xu Bai pondered for a while, he slowly said, “After all, we can’t easily abandon the capital and leave, Yu Qing Han’s attack on the imperial capital was unfavorable, he could have retreated and recuperated for a while to summarize his experience and lessons! But with our limited manpower, it’s impossible for us to go out of the city to pursue!”
Lu Qinghong mused, “The good thing is that we’re not saying that we have to win against them in order to do so now, we’re still mainly defending the city. So if he really isn’t adapted to the real battlefield and retreats to rest and recuperate, we’ve achieved our goal of stalling for time as well.”
After a pause, he revealed a smirk, “Not to mention that a certain family is not too old to be beaten!”
“With Uncle Lv around, I don’t believe that Yu Qinghan, no matter how talented he is, will still be able to help the Wei family turn the tables?” Jian Xu Bai also smiles, arching his hand, “The future of Marquis Yan’s family depends on Uncle Lv!”
Lu Qinghong looked at him and got up with a smile, “A certain person will go to find Su Zhirong, the marquis just keep an eye on the residence!”
… About an hour or so after Lv Qinghong left, Song Yixiao only learned of the two events of Su Shaoge s visit and Lv Qinghong s taking over the guarding of the city.
This was because her sleep was disturbed last night by Su Shaoge’s sudden visit, and after Jian Xubai returned this morning, the couple hastily exchanged messages, and she went on to catch up on her sleep in the end, she was pregnant.
After freshening up, Song YiXiao hastily took a meal before she could sit down and listen to her husband tell her everything that had happened in the past few hours.
After hearing this, Song Yixiao couldn’t help but rub her brow and said, “The Su family is also really careless! There are so many people in the Wei family, with Wei Xi being the most important, how did they let him escape?”
“Also Wei Xi is too decisive.” Jian Xubai said, “It is said that he is only realized that something is wrong, clothes are not changed, directly ordered the palace guards to protect him to escape alone Su family hastily launched the palace change, and it is night, run far away from the people can not see, Fang told him to escape out of the city.”
It was useless to blame the Su family for their indiscretions when the matter had come to this.
Song Yixiao also but then said, mainly worried that once the imperial capital can not be defended, they are pregnant in the body is not easy to move, three children are in the childish age also need to be taken care of. Even if Jian Xubai is not the kind of people who are willing to abandon their wives and children to steal life alone, but the soldiers are in chaos, so the family wants to escape intact … think about it all feel no confidence.
When the time comes, it’s just a tragedy dragging your husband along with you!
“Should we go and say hello to the elders?” Song Yixiao frowned, the children were still young, there was no need to talk to them about this kind of big event, but the elders, especially Old Lady Duanmu, according to the saying, after such a big event in the imperial capital, Marquis Yan’s residence should send someone over to care about it.
After all, Mrs. Duanmu said that there are two grandchildren waiting around, in fact, Lu He Ai and Lu He Yu because of the grandfather involved, but also long under the first grandmother’s cumulative authority, with two errands is almost the same.
After a major event like the siege of the Imperial Capital, they didn’t say that they were relieved by Old Lady Duanmu, but they probably had to count on Old Lady Duanmu to give them an idea!
In this case, how can the grandson of the Marquis of Yan not be concerned about the situation?
Of course, Song Yixiao mentioned Duanmu old lady at this moment, is not all thinking of filial piety, but also feel that the grandmother seems to have many cards, the situation is so critical, maybe she still has what cards?
“I’ll be going to the palace later, I’ll go and say hello on the side of the Royal Grandmother; on the side of the Second Auntie, I just left this morning, so I’ll be busy and go over to say a few words. But I’m afraid I won’t be able to spare any time at my grandmother’s side for the time being.” Jian Xu Bai sniffed and pondered for a moment, saying, “Are you in good health? If it’s possible, you can make a trip on behalf of our residence and ask grandmother if she’s willing to move over and live with us for a few days.”
He looked outside and lowered his voice, “In case the Imperial Capital is really in trouble, Uncle Lu will definitely protect us to break out of the city. At that time, if grandmother is in the mansion, it will be convenient to move, so we don’t have to go there to pick them up.”
Although Jian Xubai still do not know his own biological mother, in the end, is the Jin State Grand Princess, or at the moment the mother of Yi Shui County, but even if Mrs. Duanmu is not his own grandmother, but also his own father Jane Li Miao’s full aunt, is to raise Jane Li Miao’s people.
Jian Xu Bai didn’t intend to leave his wife and daughter behind when he broke out, nor did he intend to leave her alone.
Considering it from this perspective, it was naturally better to bring Old Lady Duanmu to the mansion now.
As for his other grandmother, the Empress Dowager, whom he called his “Royal Grandmother,” Jian Xubai wasn’t too worried.
It wasn’t that he didn’t care about the Empress Dowager, but because the Empress Dowager’s status was too high, and if they were to break out, it was impossible for the Su family to leave her alone.
Even if they really didn’t care, with the Dowager Empress’s status, staying in the palace and waiting for Wei Xi to bring his troops into the city, it was impossible for Wei Xi to move her!
Because as if the Su family doesn’t dare to go on a killing spree right now, if something happens to the Empress Dowager after Wei Xi brings troops into the city, even if it’s not Wei Xi’s doing, it will definitely be put on the Wei family’s as well as the King of Shu’s account by then, the Su family’s calling on the whole world to eradicate the Wei family’s rebellious and traitorous son will be even more justified.
On the contrary, the old lady Duanmu, who at one time had counted on the Empress Dowager, was not well known, and in the midst of the chaos, she might not be treated well.
As for the Grand Princess of Jin, it was also about the same situation as the Dowager Empress the Grand Princess, apart from pleading on behalf of King Su and his wife, hoping that Emperor Duanhua would give his daughter and soninlaw a way out, had not been involved in the battle for the throne, and there was no direct enmity with the Wei family, the King of Shu, or Emperor Duanhua’s Empress Wei.
In terms of seniority and being an Imperial Aunt, there was no danger for her to stay in the Imperial Capital with the likes of County Princess Qingjiang and Mr. and Mrs. Shouchun before the big picture was settled.
So now need to Yan Houfu worry, only one Duanmu old lady.
“I don’t have much to do, after I send you out the door, I’ll go over to Grandmother’s side to take a look!” Song Yi smiled and nodded, “How is the city now?”
“The Su family this morning did not let open the door of the workshop, but just now can not stop the bottom of the hearts of the people in fear, in the end or open most of the door of the workshop.” Jian Xubai pondered, “Although grandmother’s place is not far from our house, but now the very period, you go out when or bring more people good.”
Couple two discussed a back, look at the time has been into the afternoon, hurriedly used some lunch, pacified a few words still do not know the matter of the children, and only then split up to act.
Because Old Lady Duanmu had previously refused to move to Marquis Yan’s residence, although the situation was critical at the moment, and the reasons for persuading this old man to move were very good, Song Yixiao was still a bit uneasy after sending her husband away.
She hesitated for a while, and finally decided not to come out herself, but called out to bell to the front, “You go to grandmother’s side on my behalf, and say that I was disturbed last night, and that I’m a little bit distracted, but the children are too young and can’t be separated from each other. Now the situation is urgent, my husband can’t get away, big sister and second brother and sisterinlaw have to take care of the second aunt I think about it, I can only ask grandmother to love us a little bit, and move over to help me preside over this backyard situation!”
These words are almost like saying directly to Old Lady Duanmu Your granddaughterinlaw I am now pregnant, your greatgranddaughter is now young, this kind of stormy time, if you let me worry again, can directly affect your two greatgrandchildren late generation!
“This child, talking as if I only have her child in my eyes!” Half a day later in the other courtyard, Old Lady Duanmu heard the meaning of her words and couldn’t help but cry and laugh a little, pondering for a moment, she answered in the end.
Although the Yan Marquis residence to the old lady Duanmu live in the yard is long prepared, has also been cleaned every day. But in the end, Mrs. Duanmu is from a prestigious family, even if it is down and out, there are always some customary things that need to be cleaned up.
So although she agreed to move to Marquis Yan’s mansion, she couldn’t possibly move immediately, and still had to order people to return a few boxes and cages and such.
Bell therefore first returned to the Yan Marquis House to report, Song Yixiao heard secretly relieved, busy personally led the people to inspect the grandmother prepared yard whether there are any shortcomings, and teach a few children will remember to shout hello, followed by thought, but also had to send a few people to help, lest Duanmu old lady to pack up things too slow.
While she was busy here, inside the palace, Mingren Palace, Qingxi Hall, the Dowager Empress, who looked much older, had just cleared the scene and was pulling Jian Xubai’s hand, saying softly, “A Xu, do you want to be an emperor?”
