Chapter 218 Insight into the True Meaning
Mo Lianfeng couldn't bear it, but he had already tried his best. Leaving a male heir for the Qin family, if anything happened, the Qin family would have a male heir to support the family.
The Qin family just gave him a small gift, but he thought so much about their family. He really has a conscience.
Qin Zhao looked at the other brothers, especially the eldest brother and Xiaoliu, and hesitated.
He had to go this time. Who would stay behind among the remaining brothers? Everyone had their reasons for staying.
The eldest brother and the sixth brother were legitimate sons, and the eldest brother was also the crown prince. The sixth brother had just gotten married and didn't even have any children yet. But the second brother and he were born to the second mother, but the fourth and fifth brothers were already gone, and the second brother...
Qin Heng said to Qin Yan, "Second brother, why don't you stay home?"
The second brother had been exiled all the way from the north, and it was a shame for him to rest at home for a while. The three brothers were in better condition than him.
Qin Sheng and Lu Songli were both very calm.
Lu Songli knew very well that for Qin Sheng, going to war was definitely not his first time, nor would it be the last time.
Qin Yan looked at Xiao Liu.
"Second brother, you are not in good health. You stay at home and I will go." Qin Sheng said in a muffled voice and went to see his wife.
Qin Yan: ...Who are you saying is in poor health? This stinky little brother is good in everything except his mouth.
Mother Qin made the decision, "Listen to the eldest son and let the second son stay."
The Qin family had fought in wars for generations, and countless of them had died on the battlefield. Therefore, even if the Qin family tried their best to have children, they could not raise a whole clan.
In this generation, there are only four brothers left, Ah Heng, two legitimate and two illegitimate. She cannot just protect her own children.
If, she meant if, something unexpected really happened, then she could only say that it was fate.
Hearing the decision made by the prince and his biological mother, Gu, Shen Erniang couldn't explain how she felt.
We are gathering outside and time is urgent. Once we have selected the person from the Qin family, we have to set off.
Lu Songli quickly returned to the room, took some hemostatic and analgesic powder and gave it to Qin Sheng, whispering to him, "Promise me that you will return safely, and bring your eldest brother, third brother, and the others with you."
Qin Sheng nodded solemnly, his brows and eyes firm.
Upon learning that the three Qin brothers were going to the battlefield, Nie Yunniang and Su came out with the children and said goodbye silently.
Qiu Dashan quickly took the assembled convicts away.
This sudden change made Qin's mother and Nie Yunniang depressed. They returned to the house, but Shen Erniang was better.
Su silently took on the task of preparing lunch and went into the kitchen to work. Lu Songli went in to help.
Neither of them spoke, but just did their work silently.
Su glanced at her sixth sister-in-law, who was sitting in front of the stove, burning a fire and peeling garlic, and couldn't help but comfort her, "Sixth sister-in-law, you have to believe in the abilities of the prince and Xiaoliu. They will be fine."
Lu Songli was thinking about something in her heart. When she heard it, she was surprised at first, then smiled lightly, "Thank you, Fourth Sister-in-law, I know."
Seeing this, Su said nothing more. She was never a talkative person.
In fact, Lu Songli was quite calm. Although she was worried, she knew it was inevitable and she was mentally prepared.
When she first learned that they were exiled to Pingzhou, she knew this day would come.
Pingzhou's entire northern border borders the Xianbei, who are powerful.
Pingzhou's highest administrative official, the governor who was responsible for supervising the counties, was only concerned with being loyal to the Song Dynasty but lacked the ability to protect the local people on the border.
Most of the county commanders in charge of Pingzhou’s military preparations were native Pingzhou people. Their families and businesses were all in Pingzhou, so how could they not do their best?
In this way, the highest administrative official in Pingzhou is at odds with the military of Pingzhou, so there is room for improvement.
Lu Songli saw an opportunity here and saw a chance to seize.
There's a certain truth to the saying that heroes emerge in troubled times. In a place where the landscape is already established, any force entering and seeking to seize power or profit will inevitably encounter significant resistance. But what if that place is unstable? Then they have an opportunity.
In her opinion, the fact that the three Qin brothers were drafted to the battlefield meant that an opportunity had arrived.
As for saying that the battlefield was dangerous and weapons were merciless? It wasn't that she was cruel, but the Qin family was a family of military commanders. As long as there were battles to fight, they would have a place to use their skills and they would be able to develop rapidly.
Similarly, when facing the Xie family's calculations, wasn't she in danger? They were all on the battlefield, and if they were careless, they would lose their lives.
The Qin family and she are one. If she wants to live a good life, she has to fight, and they have to fight too.
After the three Qin brothers left, Mo Lianfeng still arranged lighter tasks for the Qin family. After finishing the tasks, Lu Songli also gathered the little ones together for study, still starting with small stories, giving them some sweet tips and slowly adding some professional knowledge.
Under her subtle influence, the other members of the Qin family gradually returned to normal.
On this day, Lu Songli also received a "family letter", which was sent from Lin Zhong.
When she opened it, she knew it was written to her by Xue Xu.
Lu Mingzhi and his party returned to Chang'an. Before leaving, Wu Ren took him with him. The two of them spared no expense and took care of Tang Yueguang, Mo Lianfeng, Lin Zhong and others. They would provide them with some conveniences.
Xue Xu mentioned two things in his letter. One was that he had already begun building a pharmaceutical factory, which was progressing smoothly and had the framework already established. The other was a letter from a close friend, which mentioned some of the situations that had occurred after the Xie and Zhao families arrived in the South.
At the end of the letter, even Xue Xu praised Xie Zhan, saying that he was a man of great determination and perseverance.
Lu Songli agreed with this. She put down the letter, stood in front of the window, and looked at the green mountains not far away.
Qin Sheng had renovated this window. He knew he didn't like dark rooms, so now, as soon as he pushed it open, he could see Qingshan. Hmm, how long has he been gone? I missed him a little.
Lu Songli stood for a while, turned around, sat down at the table again, and looked at the letter in thought.
Would Xie Zhan be inferior to others? Impossible. He came from a prominent family in Chang'an and was trained as the patriarch of the Xie clan from a young age. He was naturally proud and arrogant.
The Chen family was just one of the six great families in the South. If the Xie family hadn't fallen, the Chen family leader would have been respectful when he saw him.
Now that the Xie and Zhao families are about to revolt, Xie Zhan must do something.
Focus on assisting the Chen family, and then rely on the Chen family's rise to drive the Xie and Zhao families?
No, he would not choose this path.
First, this was too slow, and it wasn't Xie Zhan's nature to help others. Furthermore, Chen Jiaye had a criminal record, so Xie Zhan certainly wouldn't trust him. Furthermore, Xie Zhan wouldn't allow the Chen family to continue to dominate him.
Lu Songli concentrated and wrote a word on the paper - chaos.
She didn't need to know what strategies or methods he used. She only needed to infer the general situation to figure out what he was going to do.
The structure of the six great families in the South has existed for too long. Under the current situation, what Xie Zhan must do is to use the Chen family to stir up conflicts, interest disputes, etc. among the six great families and reshuffle the cards. Only then will the Xie and Zhao families have a chance to take advantage of the situation and the Xie family will be qualified to step onto the stage of the South.
In other words, what he is doing now is to create opportunities for the Xie and Zhao families.
Lu Songli knocked on the table lightly. It seemed that they had to speed up their development during this period.
Once Xie Zhan muddies the water, they will be able to take advantage of the opportunity to dive in and catch some fish.
However, this takes time.
During this period, Xie Zhan will inevitably have to live in a subordinate position for a period of time.
She also felt that if the Chen family was willing to gamble with him, they must have established an extremely close relationship. As the Chen family's think tank, Xie Zhan, it wasn't enough to just demonstrate his talent. Nor was forming an alliance. What if he withdrew midway?
If Patriarch Chen Jiaye hadn't thought of this, she would have to write a letter and ask someone to remind him.
Oh, she is such a good person, always worrying about others suffering.
