Chapter 2695 Self-help Strategy
Seeing Qiu Xinggong silent, Qiu Yingqi fell into despair.
He was not sure whether the uncle in front of him was really in trouble, or he simply didn't want to care about him, so he 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 a scapegoat 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 the whole family will be killed and all the brothers will be killed... …
His heart was cold, but he was also furious.
Even though he was extremely stupid, but in such a situation where his life was at stake, 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 residual power of his cruelty and violence is 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 You, even if you are just a mouth, you can’t escape the crime.”
Qiu Yingqing said, isn't this nonsense? If I hadn't reached such a desperate situation, how could I have 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 do you want, 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 Royal Highness must hate him." It's deep in your heart that 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. "
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 surrender to the prince. After all, the prince is justified and righteous. 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, and his reputation was ruined. The worst part was that he had a deep hatred 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 regards Fang Jun as 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 chattered.
His beloved son died tragically, and he wished he could cut Fang Jun into thousands of pieces, skin him and fry his bones. He had sworn that we would never live together, and he would not be a human 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 trapped by Changsun Wuji's design, not only Qiu Yingqi was going to die, but the family would also be implicated in the end. Rather than doing this, it would be better to simply join the prince and put aside the hatred between him and Fang Jun.
What about hatred?
What about dignity?
What about my 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 Qiu family of Luoyang has been devastated and reduced to a lower class. The descendants of our uncles and nephews are poking at the spines of us and spitting on us. On the other hand, we are assisting the crown prince to ascend the throne and trampling all the dignity under his feet. Follow the dragon and revitalize the family in the future! My dear nephew, how do you choose?”
"Of course it's the latter!"
Qiu Yingqi thought that you were an old fool? I don't have to involve my family, and I 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. He can’t 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 persuade the prince to accept the surrender of my Qiu family?"
Qiu Xinggong raised his hand to signal Qiu Yingqi to drink tea, but when his life was at stake, how could Qiu Yingqi still think about drinking tea? Two eyes looked straight at Qiu Xinggong.
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. Acting as Minister of the Ministry of War, with the intention of instigating rebellion against the Ministry of War Officials from top to bottom captured 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 relieve the prince from this crisis, why worry that the prince refuses to accept it? We?”
Qiu Yingqi thought for a while and said: "Submit a certificate of fame?"
"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 possible to kill Changsun Wuji to express his loyalty to His Highness the Crown Prince?"
"Stupid!"
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. , to use so many troops at once in Chang'an City, do you really think that the "Baiqisi" gang is just for 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 wouldn't 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 smart, but in the end He is young and lacks scheming skills, so how can he conquer those arrogant officials? Therefore, the King of Jin must be equipped with an aide who is deep-minded and has high qualifications to make plans behind his back."
"Who does uncle think this person is most likely to be?"
"As expected, it should be 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 a resourceful person, so he is very suitable.
Especially because Gao Shilian was secretly communicating with Changsun Wuji behind Gao Shilian's back, which angered Gao Shilian. Even His Majesty Li Er did not 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 the King of 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 military department as stable as Mount Tai, but also kill the chickens to scare the monkeys, and make those people with evil intentions The officials of the Ministry of War are trembling with fear and do not dare to judge the prince. As long as we can stabilize the Ministry of War, it will be a great achievement for us. The prince will be happy to accept such a letter of nomination!"
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, I just took the opportunity to kill Gao Jifu, which could be regarded as removing a major worry for Gao Shilian. After all, Gao Jifu had already openly and secretly attracted other members of the Bohai Gao family to oppose Gao Shilian more than once, intending to start a new business.
Gao Shilian is the head of the Gao family in Bohai, so naturally it is not easy to kill Gao Jifu. He eradicates the traitors for him, which can be regarded as repaying a favor in disguise... (End of this chapter)
