Seeing Qiu Xinggong silent, Qiu Yingqi fell into despair.
He was not sure whether the uncle in front of him was really helpless, or whether he simply didn't want to care about him and took the opportunity to cut off the Qiu family lineage. From now on, the Qiu family in Luoyang would respect the Qiu Xinggong lineage, multiply for generations, and have prosperous descendants.
.
And his own lineage will be pushed out as scapegoats by Changsun Wuji. As long as Fang Jun dies, he will be able to bear the crime of murdering the emperor's son-in-law and killing important ministers. It is certain that his entire family will be killed, and all his limbs will be killed...
…
His heart was cold, but he was also furious.
Even though he was extremely stupid, but in such a life-and-death situation, this uncle still harbored evil thoughts and was obsessed with being the head of the Qiu family. He was so cruel and ruthless!
Of course, even though Qiu Xinggong is old, the remnants of his cruelty and violence are still there. No matter how angry he is in his heart, Qiu Yingqi can only endure it and not dare to explode...
Fortunately, Qiu Xinggong pondered for a long time and finally said: "Changsun Wuji is cunning and has evil intentions. Since he pushed you out as a target this time, he must have thought up a detailed plan. As long as Fang Jun dies, all the evidence will point to it."
You, even if you are just a mouth, you can't escape the crime."
Isn't it nonsense that Qiu Yingqi said? If I hadn't reached such a desperate situation, how could I come to the door with a shy face and lowered my head to endure being humiliated by you and ask for a way out?
But he still looked at Qiu Xinggong eagerly, hoping to hear a "but" from his mouth...
Sure enough, Qiu Xinggong stroked his beard under his chin and continued: "However, although Changsun Wuji's plan is vicious, it is not completely unsolvable..."
Qiu Yingqi was overjoyed and asked hurriedly: "What's your plan, uncle?"
Qiu Xinggong stroked his beard and looked at the nephew in front of him. He was troubled in his heart for a long time. Then he sighed and said slowly: "Now that Changsun Wuji is openly supporting the King of Jin in his fight for the crown prince, endangering the position of the crown prince and crown prince, His Highness the crown prince must hate him."
It's deeply rooted in your heart, if you can defect to the prince's camp and ask the prince to protect you, you may be able to have some room for change and prevent Changsun Wuji from succeeding in his treacherous plan."
Qiu Yingqi was immediately disappointed.
You've been thinking here for a long time, and finally you came up with such a bad idea?
It's not that he refuses to take refuge in the prince. After all, it's just and legitimate to call him a prince. The question is, why does the prince accept him?
Not to mention he was just a Tongguan guard, even if Qiu Xinggong was kneeling in front of the prince and begging for his surrender, the prince might not be willing to take a second look.
He didn't have many soldiers under his command, his reputation was ruined, and the worst part was that he had a deep feud with Fang Jun... They were completely different from each other.
"It's not that my nephew can't trust his uncle, but His Highness the Crown Prince treats Fang Jun like a humerus, and my family has a deep hatred for Fang Jun. How can the Crown Prince allow us to join him?"
After hearing this, the flesh on Qiu Xinggong's face squirmed and his teeth clenched.
His beloved son died tragically, and he wished he could cut Fang Jun's body into thousands of pieces, skin him and fry his bones. He once swore that we would never live together, and that he would not be a human being unless he killed Fang Jun with his own hands!
But now, he has already realized that getting rid of Fang Jun is simply not something he can do.
Even if he mobilized all his soldiers and killed them with all their strength, the Qiu family would not be able to bear the consequences. Qiu Xinggong had not yet lost his mind on the choice between revenge and the survival of the family.
But now that Qiu Yingqi was being clever and was trapped by Changsun Wuji's design, not only would Qiu Yingqi die, but the family would also be implicated in the end. Rather than doing this, it would be better to simply seek refuge with the prince and put aside the hatred between him and Fang Jun.
What about hatred?
What about dignity?
What about the son?
Nothing is more important than family survival.
As for whether the prince is willing to accept the Qiu family's surrender...
"On the one hand, the body and soul are dead and the family is affected. The Qiu family of Luoyang has been in decline since then and has been reduced to a lower class. The descendants of future generations will poke the spines of you and my uncles and nephews and spit on them. On the other hand, they are assisting the prince to ascend the throne and trampling all the dignity under his feet.
For the sake of the future, I will serve the dragon and revitalize my family! My dear nephew, how do you choose?"
"Of course it's the latter!"
Qiu Yingqi thought that you were an old fool? You don’t have to involve your family, and you don’t have to be tricked by others. Am I stupid to choose the first one?
Qiu Xinggong nodded, with a solemn look on his face: "In that case, from today on, your actions must obey my instructions and you must not make your own decisions, otherwise the situation will be irreversible. It doesn't matter if you die, because our Qiu family will be implicated, so you can
He is a sinner of the Qiu family, and will be reviled by his descendants for generations to come, and he cannot even enter his ancestral grave!"
Qiu Yingqi's heart trembled, and he quickly said: "Uncle, don't worry, my nephew will definitely follow your orders, and I won't dare to be smart! Even if I risk my life, as long as I can keep my family safe, I will die without regrets!"
"
"Good! You are worthy of being a descendant of the Wuqiu family, responsible and bloody!"
Qiu Xinggong finished his sentence, but Qiu Yingqi showed no sign of joy at all and asked eagerly: "How can my uncle convince the prince to accept my Qiu family's support?"
Qiu Xinggong raised his hand to signal Qiu Yingqi to drink tea, but when his life was at stake, how could Qiu Yingqi still care about drinking tea? He looked straight at Qiu Xinggong with his eyes.
Qiu Xinggong slowly took a sip of tea and then said: "Now Fang Jun is going south with the King of Wei. Changsun Wuji took advantage of this time and used some tricks to coax the King of Jin into agreeing to transfer the King of Jin to the Ministry of War.
The purpose of acting as Minister of War is to instigate the officials of the Ministry of War to capture this base camp built by Fang Jun and loyal to the prince. Presumably at this time, the prince must be as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. If we can solve this problem for the prince
We are in danger, so why worry that the prince will not accept us?"
Qiu Yingqi thought for a while and said: "Submit a petition?"
"Exactly so!"
Qiu Xinggong nodded.
Qiu Yingqi was still confused and asked puzzledly: "But where can we find a certificate of surrender? Could it be that I killed Changsun Wuji to express my loyalty to His Highness the Crown Prince?"
"madness!"
Qiu Xinggong shouted and looked at his nephew helplessly.
I have long wanted to kill that old fox Changsun Wuji, but that guy is always surrounded by elite dead soldiers, no less than fifty people. If you want to get close to him, you have to use several times the number of troops, and you have to choose a suitable moment.
, using so many troops at once in Chang'an City, do you really think that the "Baiqisi" gang is just doing nothing?
I'm afraid that before I could kill Changsun Wuji, I would be killed by the "Baiqisi" on the charge of rebellion first...
There was no way, this kid was too stupid, otherwise he would not have eaten the bait thrown by Changsun Wuji and fell into the trap, so he had to explain patiently: "It is basically impossible for King Jin to control the Ministry of War by himself. King Jin
Although he is smart, he is still young and lacks scheming. How can he conquer those bureaucrats? Therefore, the King of Jin must be equipped with a staff who is deep enough in mind and strategy and has high qualifications and status to make plans behind his back, so that things can be accomplished."
"Who does uncle think this person is most likely to be?"
"As expected, it's Gao Jifu."
Qiu Xinggong knew Guanlong very well, and he could not pick out a few people who met these conditions, and the most likely one among them was Gao Jifu.
Born in the Bohai Gao family, he is a member of Shen Guogong Gao Shilian's clan, and is related to Changsun Wuji. He has a profound background and a good reputation. He is very resourceful and resourceful, so he is very suitable.
Especially because he secretly communicated with Changsun Wuji behind Gao Shilian's back, thus irritating Gao Shilian. Even His Majesty Li Er didn't like to see him. He watched as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel was snatched away by Li Daozong. Changsun Wuji must make arrangements to appease Gao Jifu.
It is just right to send him to King Jin to advise...
Qiu Yingqi slapped his thigh and beamed with joy: "Uncle, you are really clever! As long as we can kill Gao Jifu and cut off the arm of the King of Jin, we can not only make the Ministry of War as stable as Mount Tai, but also kill chickens and scare monkeys, making those officials of the Ministry of War who have different ambitions tremble with fear. I don’t dare to be sentenced to the crown prince. As long as we can stabilize the Ministry of War, we will have made a huge contribution. The prince will be happy to accept such a letter of surrender!"
Qiu Xinggong nodded slightly, feeling a little sad in his heart.
When he was deceived by Changsun Wuji and betrayed Gao Shilian, the benefactor of the Qiu family, this incident always made him brood and felt guilty. This time he just took the opportunity to kill Gao Jifu, which could be regarded as eliminating Gao Shilian's major worries. , after all, Gao Jifu had already openly and covertly attracted other members of the Bohai Gao family to oppose Gao Shilian more than once, intending to start a new one.
Gao Shilian was the head of the Gao family in Bohai, so it was natural that he could not kill Gao Jifu. He killed the traitors for him, which was a way of repaying a favor in disguise...
