Qiao Zhongguo and Xiao Hongda hugged each other for a long time. If it weren't for the venue restrictions, they could have a wrestling match on the spot!
Qiao Jiaojiao finally understood the general process from the few words between the two of them.
[It turns out that when Dad entered the military camp, he was in the same group of Mao Toujun as General Xiao. 】
[The two cherished each other, and before parting, they held incense and became sworn sworn brothers, with different surnames! 】
At this time, Qiao Zhongguo and Xiao Hongda were sitting opposite each other. They couldn't help laughing when they talked about interesting things from the past.
The two sworn brothers outside the door couldn't help but be surprised when they heard such bold laughter.
Dad and General Xiao can talk so well?
In the room, the two chatted for a while, and then Qiao Zhongguo brought up the issue of military power.
"Lao Da, are there any of your lieutenants who are worthy of big posts?"
When General Xiao heard this, his expression became serious.
"Lieutenant General Zuo has been stationed with me in the southern border for nearly twenty years. He is loyal to the imperial court. Although he is not brave enough, he is more than capable of defending. If he temporarily serves as a hussar general, there will be no problem."
Qiao Zhongguo felt much relieved after hearing this.
At the critical moment of the change of military power, Nanli Kingdom must not be allowed to take advantage of the loophole!
"Lao Da, do you have an idea of the candidate for the new Hussars General?"
Speaking of this, General Xiao nodded without hesitation.
"Old Qiao, in my heart, there are only two people who are most qualified to replace me, one is you and the other is General Guo."
"If the Holy One asks, I will definitely recommend General Guo."
When General Guo was mentioned, General Xiao's face was filled with gratitude and admiration.
"If it hadn't been for General Guo's careful teaching, you and I might not have achieved what we have today. I admire General Guo very much in my heart. I would be extremely relieved if he could take over the post of General Guo."
When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, she knew what was going on.
[It turns out that dad is waiting for General Xiao here. 】
[So, this is to unite with General Xiao to eliminate hidden dangers and push General Guo up? 】
Qiao Zhongguo nodded, patted Xiao Hongda's shoulder and said solemnly:
"Lao Da, you and I are at the mercy of our lives, so I won't hide anything from you."
So Qiao Zhongguo told him everything about the second prince's ambitions, the prince's situation, and General Guo's son Guo Gaoyi.
General Xiao had been away from the court for many years. He thought that the position of the crown prince and heir apparent was very stable, but he did not expect that there were so many inside stories. His expression changed slightly.
You know, General Xiao is the prince's future father-in-law and the future father-in-law. He is definitely on the prince's side.
"Old Qiao, I know you have a gap in your chest, tell me what you want to do, and I will fully cooperate with you!"
When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, she sat upright instantly.
[Looking at it now, General Guo is indeed the most suitable candidate. 】
[After all, Nanli Kingdom is not a fuel-efficient lamp at all. They will harass the border from time to time to test the attitude and strength of the Yong Dynasty. 】
[Once the generals who go to the southern border don't have the ability to fight them off forcefully, they will most likely stir up Nanli's ambitions, and then the people in the southern border will suffer! 】
When Qiao Zhongguo heard this, he became more determined in his thoughts.
"Lao Da, I may have to feel sorry for General Guo!"
General Xiao thought slightly, "Are you going to..."
Qiao Zhongguo's face was cold and hard, "If a person has done something wrong, don't think about getting away with it. That Guo Gaoyi should be punished!"
"General Guo is loyal and upright and should not be coerced or even have his reputation tarnished because of this."
"Based on my understanding of General Guo, he will definitely choose to kill his relatives for justice. At that time, the Holy Spirit will consider that General Guo is best suited to guard the southern border, and may even spare Guo Gaoyi's life!"
When General Xiao heard this, his thoughts surged in his heart, and he finally stood up suddenly.
"Old Qiao, leave this matter to me!"
"The incident in the southern border originally started because I resigned from the military power. It is only reasonable that I should go to General Guo."
"You can't get involved in it. If it arouses suspicion from above, it won't be worth the loss!"
When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, she was extremely grateful to General Xiao for his understanding and righteousness.
[This is a thankless job, but General Xiao is willing to take the initiative. His feelings for his father are really nothing to say! 】
[Dad really has no say in this matter. If the Dog Emperor discovers it, he will definitely doubt his intentions! 】
Qiao Zhongguo and Xiao Hongda are as close as brothers. There is nothing to push back on this matter. If Xiao Hongda is useful in getting him in the future, he will still be the first one without saying a word.
"Okay, Lao Da, this matter is very important, so I will leave this important task to you!"
Xiao Hongda nodded carefully, "Old Qiao, don't worry!"
Next, the two people discussed some details. Qiao Jiaojiao listened and became distracted.
[With the male protagonist’s scheming mind, he will definitely guess that General Guo is the most suitable candidate. 】
[I don’t believe he would give up such an important bargaining chip. After all, once he controls General Guo, he can be said to control the military power in the south! 】
[But this time there is no list of Chunwei cheating, what can the male protagonist do? 】
Qiao Jiaojiao tried her best to put herself into the male protagonist's perspective and recalled all the information she had learned about the male protagonist during this period.
[If you want to talk about General Guo’s flaw, it is only Guo Gaoyi’s wronged son. 】
[And Guo Gaoyi’s flaws, apart from Chunwei’s fraud, are...]
At this time, Qiao Jiaojiao suddenly remembered what Qiao Tianjing and Tan Hanchi said yesterday.
"I heard that he loved reciting poems and composing poems, almost to the point of obsession..."
【Oh my god! 】
Qiao Jiaojiao suddenly became excited and almost fell onto the soft couch.
Qiao Zhongguo had been paying close attention to Qiao Jiaojiao, and when he saw this, he hurriedly straightened her up.
Qiao Jiaojiao was so anxious that she screamed.
[I know what the second prince is planning to do! He certainly won't sit still and wait for death! 】
【Meng Guxue! Meng Guxue! 】
[If the most exquisite poems and songs in the world are found somewhere, it must be in Meng Guxue’s mind! 】
When Qiao Zhongguo heard this, his expression suddenly changed.
Qiao Jiaojiao held Qiao Zhongguo's hand tightly and wanted to spit out the words!
[A few days ago at the Dragon Boat Festival Palace Banquet, at Yuhua Lake, the second prince went after Meng Guxue! 】
[As a result, everyone left the palace at that time, but Meng Guxue didn't come back very late. The two of them had been chatting for so long! 】
[On the day of the palace banquet, Meng Guxue just showed her talents. If the second prince had been focusing on military power from the beginning, he must have inquired about General Guo long ago. 】
[Once it is discovered that General Guo himself is impeccable, he will definitely start with his family as soon as possible. Then he will not miss Guo Gaoyi's flaw! 】
[Meng Guxue is probably going to be used by him, but I don’t know if she is really so hopelessly stupid that she leaked all her poems to the second prince! 】
