453 Soft-hearted, Tianjia has no father, son, grandson and grandson
After receiving the news that Qin Jiyan was not dead, the queen took action to prevent the marriage between the Chen family and the Gu family!
Qin Jiyan knew that the queen would take action more for herself, because the queen would never accept it, and she would have to live by pleasing Gu Gui in the future, but Qin Jiyan was still very satisfied.
If the Queen's family really marries the Gu family, and the Queen has to side with Concubine Gu for the sake of the family's interests, then not only will he have no one to talk to in the harem, but he will even have an enemy who is familiar with him.
This was something Qin Jiyan didn't want to see. If it hadn't been like this, he wouldn't have thought of destroying the marriage between the Chen and Gu families.
As for the old emperor's doubts about him and the flattery of the fifth prince to suppress him, Qin Jiyan didn't take it to heart at all.
After returning from Northern Qi, he was no longer the emperor's grandson who had nothing but the emperor's favor. Although the emperor's honor and love were important, it was not important enough to prevent him from investigating what happened fifteen years ago.
.
Qin Jiyan never hid news from the capital from Gu Qiancheng. Gu Qiancheng knew everything he knew. Seeing Gu Qiancheng's worried face worried about him, Qin Jiyan felt happy, but he couldn't bear to let Gu Qiancheng worry, so he
I gave her a few explanations.
"The news about us in Xihu cannot be kept secret. It is in my interest and harmless to let the emperor know now."
"Are you sure it's harmless? Your Majesty, by doting on the fifth prince so much, doesn't he mean to suppress you?" Gu Qiancheng was not as relaxed as Qin Jiyan.
She originally thought that Qin Jiyan's high-profile visit to Xihu was because he had made careful arrangements in advance so as not to arouse the old emperor's suspicion. But...
That's not the case at all. Not only did the old emperor become suspicious, he also disliked Shang Qin Jiyan because of it.
"I'm not in the capital now, what's the point of him suppressing me or not?" Qin Jiyan picked up the teapot and poured a glass of water for Gu Qiancheng, "Have a cup of tea and don't worry about such trivial matters."
"This is not a trivial matter." The tea was already cold and had a bitter taste. Gu Qiancheng took a sip and didn't want to drink anymore.
Qin Jiyan, on the other hand, didn't care at all how bad the tea was. He sipped it slowly, and after finishing a cup of tea, he said calmly: "It's not a big deal to me. The emperor's favor doesn't mean anything."
All. King Zhao and King Zhou have lost the emperor's heart, but they are still princes with great power, and even the emperor cannot easily touch them."
Speaking of the latter part, Qin Jiyan's lips curved into a sarcastic smile, "I never have contact with officials of the DPRK and Central Government in Beijing, let alone form cliques. Even if the emperor dislikes me, he will not have any influence on me."
The ministers in the court would not all side with him just because he was favored by the emperor, nor would they all side with the fifth prince just because the emperor disliked him.
Seeing that Gu Qiancheng was still puzzled, Qin Jiyan closed his eyes and sighed softly: "Qiancheng, do you know how powerful my grandmother's family was back then?"
"Half the country?" Gu Qiancheng really didn't know about the late prince's maternal ancestry, because almost no one in the capital mentioned the former prince's affairs, and Gu Qiancheng would not bother to investigate.
"Half the country is an exaggeration, but it's about the same. My maternal great-grandfather's surname is Chai. At that time, the Chai family held one-third of the troops of the Qin Dynasty, which could be said to have overwhelming power. The emperor's ability to sit on the throne was only due to the support of the Chai family.
It has a huge relationship. Without the support of the Chai family, he would never have been able to sit on the throne."
"However, no matter how powerful the Chai family is, they still have nothing in the end." Gu Qiancheng sighed and poured cold water on Qin Jiyan, "With great achievements, the master is shaken and his power is overwhelming. If he doesn't replace him, he will eventually be destroyed.
The Chai family is the best example." Even if the Chai family is responsible for the emperor's ascension to the throne.
"You're right. If you don't know how to retreat bravely if you have the power to rule the country, you will end up with the destruction of all nine tribes. Back then, my father... was too soft-hearted." So the person who died in the end was his father.
.
Qin Jiyan closed his eyes, tears seemed to fall from the corners of his eyes, "Qiancheng, I never put my hope in the honor and favor shown to me by the emperor. In the royal family, there are no fathers and sons, no grandparents, only a struggle for power. I cannot be soft-hearted.
Don't dare to be soft-hearted." Once he is soft-hearted, he may fail miserably, and not only him, but also the people around him will not suffer the consequences.
Therefore, he could use the emperor's guilt towards him without hesitation to consolidate his power; he could also deceive the emperor without any guilt.
"I understand, just go ahead and do whatever you want. I..." Gu Qiancheng paused for a moment before continuing: "Even if everyone in the world doesn't approve of it, I will still approve of you."
"With your words, I have no worries." Qin Ji spoke softly, but his eyes were firm, "Qiancheng,..." Just as he was about to say something else, the carriage suddenly lurched forward and stopped with a creak.
.
"Ah..." Gu Qiancheng was unprepared and almost fell over. Fortunately, Qin Jiyan had quick eyesight and quick hands to catch Gu Qiancheng.
Gu Qiancheng rebounded and bumped into Qin Jiyan, knocking Qin Jiyan down. They both fell into the carriage at the same time, "What happened?"
The driver didn't answer, only the sound of weapons clashing
Qin Jiyan reacted very quickly and picked up Gu Qiancheng, "Stay in the carriage and don't move. I'll go down and take a look."
Qin Jiyan opened the car door and disappeared in a flash...
"Your Highness, they are bandits." The secret guard said hurriedly when he saw Qin Jiyan coming out.
There were many bandits, but there were only six of them, so it was a bit difficult for a while.
"Bandits?" Qin Jiyan looked sarcastic when he saw the large number of "bandits" surrounding them.
In all his life, he has never seen bandits who are so well-trained and cooperative. Most importantly, he has never seen bandits who first did not rob money, but killed people with knives.
"Keep one person alive." Qin Jiyan knew without thinking that this must be the work of several of his imperial uncles, but it was hard to say which one it was.
Leave one alive and take it back to his grandfather. I think the emperor will be very "happy".
Before the secret guard could respond, he heard the "bandit" say arrogantly: "What a arrogant tone. You come to our territory and you dare to talk so shamelessly to survive. Who do you think you are? You really think that our Blood Wind Village is a vegetarian."
of?"
"Brothers, come on, this is a big fat fish. If you rob this big fat fish, we will be able to enjoy the food and drink spicy food for the rest of our lives without having to worry about it."
The 'mountain bandit' was very conscientious and revealed his true identity in just one sentence. It was just a joke that he wanted Qin Jiyan to believe it.
"Xuefeng Village? I have remembered it." Qin Jiyan looked at the person who spoke. It was an unfamiliar face that he had never seen before.
This group of people must have been secretly trained by some imperial uncle.
His imperial uncles seemed to be more powerful than they imagined, and he seemed to underestimate his opponents...
