The deceased is like a man who never gives up day and night.
A month passed by in a hurry.
Surprisingly, the past month has been calm, and the seemingly strange situation has not caused any big waves.
Gao Li still maintained her original low profile, while Fu Soang was still watching from the sidelines. Everything was the same as before, without any change.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Careful people suddenly discovered that this stability was shocked by Qi Shaobao's cough.
Enemy countries dare not ignore him, and domestic countries dare not underestimate him. This is the importance of presence.
Even those princes who had dreamed of succeeding the emperor had changed from chicken blood to peaceful people at this time.
Well, as far as abolishing the old and establishing the new is concerned, it is by no means as simple as imagined.
Even if his eldest son has the support of the courtiers, he is still unreliable without the support of Qi Yu and Qi Jing.
They don't sell face, and even if you sit in that seat, you won't be safe.
To put it bluntly, the two of them can raise the banner of welcoming back Li Hongyu and drive you out of office in a matter of minutes.
After assessing the situation, the princes turned the wind vane one after another and threw ambiguous olive branches to Nanyang and Mobei at the same time.
Qi Yu laughed at all these children.
What he cared about was Su Liu's statement.
Sure enough, as Qi Yuzhi expected, the Empress Dowager really made a huge concession.
This time, she did show a lot of sincerity.
She made a formal commitment in writing: If Qi Yu rescued Li Hongyu, she would agree to let him enter the cabinet and even slowly reach the position of first assistant.
At that time, Qi Dalang can use this to realize his ultimate dream of becoming a highly respected minister.
However, Master Qi still declined!
He said in his reply: Qi has never been admitted to the Hanlin Academy, so he is not suitable for joining the cabinet.
Moreover, my career values are people-oriented, not selfish desires, and it does not matter whether I am a powerful minister or not.
All in all, I just don’t buy it.
In the eyes of onlookers, this is more or less a slap in the face.
That’s right!
It took a lot of effort to seize this blackmail opportunity, how could we not take advantage of it to blackmail more?
As for what he wants, Su Liu should be very clear in his heart, so there is no need to take the initiative to point it out. Now whether she is in a hurry or not, it depends on who bows her head first and surrenders.
Not in a hurry?
Urgent, but not impatient.
Rescuing Jinshang is a matter of picking chestnuts from the fire. If you are not careful, you will be overwhelmed. Therefore, you must wait for the opportunity and consider the long term.
Rushing to get things done won't help, it's better to calm down and wait for the opportunity.
After replying to the letter, Qi Yu called his daughter Qi Xiaotong.
"Girl, don't rush back to Dahua. Stay here to assist me in my next move."
"Uh...this..."
According to Qi Xiaotong's idea, he will rush back to Dahua immediately after saying goodbye to teachers Peng Wenchang and Luo Yuan tomorrow.
Then, he quickly mobilized troops and horses to help defend Duan Zicheng to deal with the threat from Tianzhu.
Since this 'Aphrodisiac War' is unavoidable, it's time to take precautions and make plans in advance.
But now, Qi Yu suddenly changed his original plan and felt a little unprepared.
Xiaotong hesitated a little and said: "Father, why don't you let your daughter help defend Duan Zicheng? That is the major military matter at the moment! Why not let the generals of the government army take care of some assistance matters?"
"No! The help I'm talking about must be yours, no one else can help!" Qi Yu said, stroking his beard and smiling.
"Ah? What kind of thing is it that has to be done by me so much?"
"That's why I went north to rescue him!"
"Why? How do you say this?"
Qi Yu explained: "Rescuing your Majesty is not an easy task. Only by taking him by surprise and attacking him unprepared can we accomplish the task. If our troops press down on the border to threaten, the Goryeo side will be ready. In this way, on the contrary, There’s no way to start.”
Taking chestnuts from the fire is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
Only by using surprise troops can we win.
"so……"
"So, I want to use your marriage as an excuse to cover my rescue mission to the north, and then wait for the opportunity..."
As for how to use it, he also gave a specific explanation.
According to Qi Dalang, Hong Tao is Qi Jing's adopted son, so his wedding should be held at Qi's house.
In this way, the Qi family became the party sending off the bride.
Of course, this is normal etiquette aside from the explanation of getting married.
But right now, there is no reason to go north to do business. If we can show off as a sign of seeing off the bride, everything will become a matter of course.
It was precisely based on this consideration that Qi Yu gave up the original plan of cutting in and changed the plan to send the bride off thousands of miles along the way.
"Father, what you mean is...that you want to take the troops to the north on the pretext of seeing off your relatives, and then take the opportunity to carry out a rescue?"
"My daughter is really smart, she can tell the truth! However, the wedding ceremony here is just a cover-up, and the real method is carried out secretly. Only by cooperating with each other overtly and covertly can it be possible to create an effective and trustworthy plan. Take advantage of the opportunity.”
Qi Xiaotong thought about it and suddenly understood his father's intention.
In short, this is a typical plan of building plank roads openly and secretly destroying Chencang.
Use your own farewell to attract the attention of the world and the King of Korea, so as to create conditions for secretly seizing chestnuts from the fire.
Needless to say, this strategy is really inseparable from yourself, otherwise, you won't be able to pull off this gimmick.
Seeing Xiaotong deep in thought, Qi Yu smiled and asked, "Why, my daughter doesn't want to cooperate with her father?"
"Ah... no, I am willing, very willing!" The little girl quickly shook her head and showed a wishful look.
Although it was a pity not to be able to help prevent Duan Zicheng, the marriage brought enough compensation.
You will definitely not lose!
Xiaotong smiled and said: "Father, when do you plan to take me north?"
Qi Yu replied: "There is no rush. We have to wait for Su Liu's reply before making arrangements. However, I can basically conclude that she will give in this time. Because she has no choice at all."
It can be heard that Qi Dalang has convinced her this time.
And, it’s 9 out of 10 sure.
In fact, not only Qi Yu, but also Qi Jing from Mobei is paying attention to the current situation.
He also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to force Su Liu to make concessions, and then gain some political capital that would be beneficial to him.
At this time, you have to add insult to injury. If you miss the opportunity, you will never have another chance.
As for how to win, Qi Jing planned to see Nanyang's stance first.
Either learn from it, or imitate it. In short, try not to show off the facts.
My reputation in this life is hard-earned, and I have to maintain it when it's time to maintain it.
