Chapter 500 Heroine
Next door, everyone looked at Qin Heng with bated breath.
They vaguely guessed what the two had gone out to discuss, and there should have been a result by now.
Qin Heng said bluntly, "I've decided not to fight for the position of leader."
"This..." The Qin family felt very surprised at first, but after thinking about it carefully, they felt that it was not surprising.
Then they all looked at Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng said with a bitter face, "Brother doesn't fight, and I don't know how to do anything else except fighting."
The eldest brother doesn't fight, and the sixth brother doesn't want to fight.
The Qin family members looked at each other. In other words, the person in charge of the Qin and Lu families will eventually be the sixth brother's wife?
In reality, for the Qin Yan and Qin Zhao brothers, with their elder brother and Xiao Liu around, it was impossible for them to be the leaders of the group. Therefore, they had no idea who would be the leader of the group, and they naturally assumed that after Lord Lu voluntarily stepped down, the leader should be their elder brother or Xiao Liu.
The two of them didn't think much about it. Now the eldest brother told them that the head of the Qin and Lu families would be the sixth brother's wife? They wanted to have a female protagonist?
It seems acceptable. Compared to Qin Yan, Qin Zhao knows Lu Songli better and knows her methods and abilities better.
Qin Heng said, "This result shouldn't surprise anyone."
"Our two families are ready to conquer the world together. Each side has resources and bargaining chips. The Lu family is good at politics, and the Qin family is good at military."
In addition, the Qin family has done favors for the people of Dali, and "the Qin family enjoys a high reputation among the people."
After the Qin and Lu families' manifesto to attack Song Mo was circulated throughout the world, people felt sorry for the Qin family's plight and appreciated their two hundred years of efforts, and there were few criticisms.
"But don't forget, Lord Lu was highly regarded. The four verses inscribed on the stone tablets of the four great academies brought him fame among scholars. Later, he was exiled, governing Liaodong County for a year and Pingzhou for another. During this time, he spearheaded two negotiations with the Xianbei royal court, and his reputation among the people of Pingzhou reached its peak."
Now the basis of the Qin-Lu group's rebellion is Youping and Pingzhou, especially Pingzhou, which can almost be said to have been nurtured by the Lu family.
On the contrary, Pingzhou and Youzhou have also been plagued by foreign invasions over the years, and the Qin family's prestige in Pingzhou is not as high as that of the Lu family.
Qin Zhao stroked his chin. "From what you said, brother, Lord Lu clearly has the ability to become the leader. Why did he say just now that our Qin-Lu faction cannot be led by him?"
Qin Heng said, "Lord Lu is very clear-headed. What he said just now was just self-deprecation. Do you really believe it?"
Lu Desheng automatically withdrew. Qin Heng understood what he meant. After Lu Desheng made concessions, he hoped that he could also make concessions.
Qin Heng felt that he was extremely farsighted and courageous. Power was irresistible to a man. In order to pave the way for his daughter and help her ascend to power, he had no regrets.
"The people who closely connect the Qin family and the Lu family are Xiaoliu and Liudi's wife. The person in charge must be chosen from between the two of them. Only in this way can our two families be convinced." Qin Zhao pointed out incisively.
Qin Heng nodded and said, "If I were to be the person in charge, it would be a disadvantage for the Lu family. They can't selflessly contribute to help me achieve my goals, right?"
Compared with the Qin family, the Lu family is not much worse. It can even be said that in Youping and Pingzhou, the Lu family is more popular than the Qin family. Why do they have such a good reputation?
"By the same token, if it was Lord Lu who took charge, while Lord Lu was here, we would be convinced. But after Lord Lu is gone, will you accept Lu Zhiyuan as the heir, inheriting the great cause that the Qin and Lu families have worked so hard for?"
Qin Yan, Qin Zhao and the others shook their heads. If Lü Zhiyuan was truly capable and could lead them all the way forward, they would be convinced. But he clearly didn't have that ability and couldn't subdue the Qin-Lü clique's civil and military officials.
"So the backbone can only be Xiaoliu and his wife."
Now it’s just a matter of inside and outside.
"Xiao Liu is very capable in military affairs and is a natural-born commander." Qin Heng first praised his younger brother. "Of course, I'm sure everyone is well aware of the abilities of my younger brother's wife."
"Our Qin family was able to survive the exile thanks to our Sixth Sister-in-law. Without her, our Qin family would have been severely damaged, and many would have died along the way. We would never have been able to regain our own army and control military power two years after exile."
"Besides, it's easy to find military generals, but it's hard to find a strategist. With the ability of my sixth brother's wife, plus the support of the Lu family, it shouldn't be difficult to raise an army, right?"
Everyone present understood that the Lu family could accomplish anything without the Qin family.
On the contrary, the Qin family is more dependent on the Lu family and Lu Songli.
Qin Sheng interrupted at this time, "Brother has said so much, I should say a few words too."
Qin Heng smiled and said, "Okay, you tell me." He picked up the tea and took two sips.
"With Lili here, we can trust her with confidence."
Qin Sheng's words reminded them that it was not uncommon for famous generals in ancient times to be killed by conspiracies.
Qin Sheng continued, "With Lili here, we never have to worry about food and fodder when we go to war."
Wars are fought for food and logistics.
The Qin family also recalled that when they were stationed in the northern border, they often ran out of food and grass. Even such a large court could hardly afford to support the army.
But after they entered the Pingzhou barracks, they no longer worried about food and fodder.
"Xiaoliu, you can shut up now. Big brother, please continue talking." Qin Zhao didn't want to pay attention to Qin Sheng's bragging!
"Then I have one last question for everyone." Qin Heng put down his teacup, "If our Qin family had not been exiled, would we still be guarding the northern border for Dali and Song Mo?"
The Qin family looked at each other and said, "Yes."
"Since our Qin family can be loyal to someone like Song Mo, why can't we risk our lives for our sixth brother's wife? She is our family, and she won't treat us unfairly, right?"
After this question, everyone was convinced and felt relieved.
"Brother, I have no objection to Sixth Sister-in-law being the one in charge. But in the current situation, wouldn't it be better if Sixth Sister-in-law was pushed out in the open?" Qin Yan was worried that if the people below knew that they were going to pledge allegiance to a female lord, would they all leave Pingzhou?
"Rebellion is about destroying and then rebuilding. My sixth brother's wife is as capable as any man in the world. A truly knowledgeable person should abandon the distinction between men and women and see the ability of those in power." Qin Heng said so. My sixth brother's wife intended to take the throne, so she should take these situations into consideration and he would not worry about it.
