Jia Gu had no suspicion of Jiang Ming and said whatever came to mind!
Jiang Ming readily agreed, completely complying with Jia Gu's wishes... He stated that although he was the prime minister of Yan, he had the blood of the Ying clan flowing in his veins, and there was no difference between him and a prince in Qin!
Let alone supporting Qin's military operations, even if his father ordered him to commit suicide immediately, he would not hesitate!
Jiang Ming's 'getting the hang of things' far exceeded Jia Gu's expectations, and tears of relief welled up in his eyes!
"Young Master!"
With tears streaming down his face, Jia Gu said, "You are so loyal and filial, I will definitely relay your words to the King! Please rest assured, my lord, this old minister will certainly help you secure the throne and will not fail your sincere heart!"
"Hey hey hey!"
Jiang Ming waved his hand: "Teacher, you're being too kind. These are two different things! I'm sharing my father's burdens and serving the country. How could I expect anything in return? I really have no intention of competing for the crown prince position."
"Hahaha!"
Jagu looked at his good student with satisfaction and nodded: "Good boy, you're becoming more and more mature. You've learned to contend without contention; no one in the world can rival you..."
"Teacher!"
Jiang Ming changed the subject: "However, before that, our Qin state will first superficially agree to an alliance with Jin. I'll first lure them into helping me eliminate Zhongshan. Zhongshan is a tough nut to crack... I want to let them contribute their remaining strength before Jin is destroyed..."
"That's natural!"
Jagu said, "All actions should be taken only when the time is ripe!"
......
The two chatted until late at night, and then Jiang Ming arranged for Jia Gu to rest.
Having achieved his goal and completed his important tasks, Jia Gu didn't linger. He bid farewell to Jiang Ming and hurried back to Qin...
......
After Jia Gu left, Jiang Ming couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He thought to himself, "My father is really... insatiable! He actually wants to annex the State of Jin. He's just delusional!"
It's not that Jiang Ming was unfilial or unwilling to support his father's military campaign.
Even if he wholeheartedly obeyed and supported the King of Qin's actions, it would still be impossible for him to successfully destroy Jin!
Although the State of Jin suffered two defeats, it was still a very large state!
Compared to Yan, Qin was naturally stronger, but compared to Jin, it was only a second-rate medium-sized power, far inferior to Qi!
The alliance between Yan and Qin to destroy Jin was like two 12-year-old elementary school students trying to defeat an 18-year-old college student—almost impossible!
Although the State of Jin suffered two defeats, the main reasons were the stubbornness of its ruler, the incompetence of its generals, and the fact that its ministers were mutually obstructive and harboring their own agendas...
The land west of the Yellow River originally belonged to the Qin state, but was occupied by the Jin state for decades. Now, they are simply reclaiming what rightfully belongs to them...
But if the Qin army crosses the Yellow River and dares to touch the core area of the Jin state, you'd better try it.
Once these doctors are activated, they will immediately drive the Qin army back to Hangu Pass!
To say that the State of Jin was a piece of fat meat was relative to the ruler of Jin himself, but those ministers of Jin were all bloodthirsty wolves!
Therefore, Jiang Ming did not discourage his teacher. Instead, he went along with his words, saying that people can learn by being taught, but they can learn by doing. Why waste his breath?
Now let's talk about the crown prince.
Jiang Ming knew that this was just empty promises his father was making to Jia Gu and himself!
He would absolutely never give up his position as heir!
The military power of Qin was in the hands of Mi Min's younger brothers. She wanted to be their king? What a joke!
Even if my father really wanted to do it, he couldn't accomplish it.
The King of Chu would never allow his grandson's claim to the throne of Qin to fall into the void!
Therefore, Jiang Ming didn't take Jia Gu's words to heart at all; he just wanted to send the old man back as soon as possible!
The country is only truly secure when it is won by oneself!
After Jia Gu left, Jiang Ming asked Zhao Yong to summon Princess Ji Huayang of Jin to see what she looked like.
If she's pretty, I'll sleep with her tonight...
As a result, the princess of Jin was woken up from her sleep and brought before Jiang Ming. Upon seeing her, Jiang Ming's brows immediately furrowed into knots!
The little girl was only about 8 or 9 years old, crying and calling for her mother, wanting to go home...
Seeing this, Jiang Ming was utterly speechless!
That Duke of Jin is a real beast! He sent over such a young princess. Couldn't he at least have chosen one who was a little older?
But the person has already been delivered... sending them back would mean the 'covenant' has failed.
Jiang Ming had no choice but to let his younger sister take the child to the inner quarters and let her sleep with him, acting as his "mother"!
To avoid neglecting his wife, Jiang Ming now takes his elder sister with him wherever he goes...
Even if he slept with other women, as his first wife, Jiang Ming gave his eldest sister full right to know.
A true man is open and honest; he wouldn't do anything sneaky or underhanded in front of his wife...
With the war at the front lines in a tense situation, Jiang Ming's command post has been moved from Dukang County to Gu County. This place was a gift he bestowed upon Dugu Yan, but Dugu Yan is pregnant, and Jiang Ming has recently taken a dislike to her, so he hasn't arranged for her to serve him in bed...
The night was long and sleepless. Jiang Ming counted on his fingers his wives: his eldest sister, second sister, Murong Xue, Dugu Yan, Changsun Yuenu, and Princess Ji Shishi of Yan Kingdom... They were all pregnant now.
During the first few months of pregnancy, certain things shouldn't be touched, and Jiang Ming didn't want to put his pregnant wives through any trouble, especially since Ji Shishi was far away in Jicheng...
Then there's the maid Qiaohong, who's almost four months pregnant now.
The rest are her lovers. Whether Jin Shi and her maid Zhen Shan are pregnant or not is unknown. The Empress Yan is not pregnant!
Surely we can't possibly let the Empress Yan serve us tonight?
That woman is too cunning. Quick sex is fine, but an overnight stay is out of the question...
Don't fucking cuddle up to sleep in the middle of the night, and then suddenly try to harm yourself...
As for Changsun Yuenü's twin nieces, Changsun Agu and Changsun Buhuanu, they are indeed beautiful, and she has been too busy to have the chance to sleep with them...
But they are currently at the Yanbei camp, and it would be somewhat inappropriate to bring them over so late at night, as it would make me seem too lustful!
If I had known, I wouldn't have counted on this princess of Jin. Who knew... Ji Huayang was just a little girl?
As for Changsun Yuenu's aunt, Eriya Eshi, she was quite beautiful, but she always had a strong smell of mutton fat on her... Jiang Ming slept with her twice and then never touched her again.
Just as Jiang Ming decided to rest and recuperate tonight and go to sleep by himself... a servant suddenly whispered anxiously outside the door, "Reporting...reporting to the Prime Minister, the...the Princess has arrived!"
