Reborn as a bride, pretending to be virtuous, the prince held his waist and regretted
Chapter 187 Is a scholar useless?
This joke diluted the sadness of parting.
Lai Fu followed Xu Cheng away, and Zhou Jin stood at the door for a long time without saying a word.
He is a sentimental man.
They grew up together. When they were young, Lai Fu was his attendant; when they were older, he became his housekeeper.
But now, Lai Fu has taken the initiative to fight for his future in order to save his life.
However, at least everything is still under control, and Lai Fu should be able to turn danger into safety and achieve his wishes.
Gu Xiling waited for Zhou Jin for a long time, but he didn't come back, so she came over in person, "Sir, don't look anymore, everyone has left."
Zhou Jin was melancholy, and he followed Gu Xiling back with a cane.
Back in the study, Gu Xiling told Marquis Changning about Gu Xirong and Xie Jin's plan.
Marquis Changning was stunned. He had the same reaction as Gu Xiling and Zhou Jin. They all felt that Xie Jin was being too aggressive.
"In fact, the right thing for Xie Jin to do is to stay in the Imperial Guard for a few years and consolidate his foundation before planning other developments. In the officialdom, the most taboo thing is to be too ambitious and have an unstable foundation."
Gu Xiling smiled bitterly, "Although I don't understand officialdom, I know that it is rare to be promoted four levels in one year. Frequent transfers are not a good thing. If His Majesty had asked him to come, it would be fine. But if it was not His Majesty's appointment, but Xie Jin's own operation, there would definitely be trouble."
"I have tried everything I could to persuade her, but Sister Rong refused to listen and continued to insist on her own way. She wanted to leave the capital and escape from Uncle Li's sphere of influence. I don't care about their decision, but Xie Jin is so eager for quick success that he has never been on the battlefield."
"Once he leads his troops to fight, he lacks experience, and the casualties are all his soldiers. These soldiers fought bravely and died for the enemy, and they may not feel that they have lost out. But if the innocent deaths are caused by the incompetence of the general in command, it is not worth it for the soldiers!"
Marquis Changning was slightly startled, then smiled, "Xi Ling, so this is why you are worried. I know about this matter, and I will remind Xie Jin's adjutant. If he does not command properly, take away his command authority directly."
Gu Xiling hesitated, "Father, His Majesty does not want the Changning Marquisate to hold military power. If you do this, His Majesty will think that you are interfering with the army in private, and even have a great influence on the army."
Zhou Jin's eyes turned slightly, "Father, let me do this."
"You?" Changning Marquis Zhou Ze was surprised. "How did you do that?"
Zhou Jin smiled and said, "In another month, my legs and feet will be healed, and I will apply to His Majesty to take up a post in the north. At the critical moment, I can stop Xie Jin."
"No!" Gu Xiling and Marquis Changning said in unison, "You are a scholar. Even if you know some fancy moves, you may not be able to protect yourself when you encounter danger."
Marquis Changning agreed with him. "Jin'er, you are the only child in the Marquis Changning Mansion. You can't go anywhere until the eldest grandson is born in the Marquis Changning Mansion. You should stay in the capital city honestly."
Zhou Jin was not convinced. "Father, you were not married at that time, but you were also wandering around. Why is it that I am no longer able to do so now that it is my turn?"
Marquis Changning glanced at his daughter-in-law Gu Xiling and said, "Xiling, go back first. I will persuade Zhou Jin to give up this thought."
"Yes, father." Gu Xiling agreed, chuckled and stepped back.
The father-in-law didn't want to teach Zhou Jin a lesson in front of her, so he wanted to save Zhou Jin's face.
After Gu Xiling left, Marquis Changning shut Zhou Jin up with just one sentence, "As long as you can beat me, you can go anywhere, anywhere."
"This..." Zhou Jin was speechless. He regretted why he disliked the smell of sweat when he was a child and didn't want to practice martial arts. Now he is a useless scholar. Is this him?
Since his daughter-in-law was not present, Marquis Changning did not have so many taboos in his words.
"Don't talk about this or that. I can go in and out of the enemy's army seven times, can you? I can walk out of the endless desert, can you? I can kill dozens of bandits if I encounter them, can you?"
Zhou Jin's original arrogance became increasingly dim after being hit by Marquis Changning. "Is it okay not to go? If I had known this would happen, I would have practiced martial arts when I was a child. When I have a son, I will definitely let him practice martial arts."
"You don't have the ability to teach, so send him to me." Marquis Changning also regretted not being ruthless at the beginning. Alas, who made him the only child in the family? Besides, his wife and mother were reluctant to let Zhou Jin suffer because he had a serious illness at the age of seven.
Zhou Jin was not unhappy this time. Instead, he raised his eyebrows proudly. "I don't know martial arts, but Xiling does! She can teach me. I will be the kind father and Xiling will be the strict mother."
"That's a good idea, but you should give birth to the baby as soon as possible!" Marquis Changning snorted, thinking that his son was useless.
I have been married for half a year. I couldn't please my wife at the beginning. Later, when we finally got along well, he broke his leg.
There is still no wedding night!
This time Zhou Jin is completely finished!
"Father, what do you think we should do? If Xie Jin really goes to the north, what if a disaster occurs? How can we prevent it?"
Changning Marquis Zhou Ze chuckled, his eyes revealing sarcasm, "Do you really think I will show up in person? If Xie Jin is really transferred to the north to become a general leading a detachment, do you think no one will be jealous? No one will be envious?"
"Let alone other things, Uncle Li will not let Xie Jin off easily. He will deal with Xie Jin openly or covertly, and even the Imperial Censor will report him. Even if Xie Jin goes to the north, he will face many obstacles, and it will not be as easy as he imagined."
"In this way, my people only need to gently instigate, and at the critical moment, they will be able to seize the initiative and prevent Xie Jin from making some stupid moves."
Zhou Jin pondered for a moment, "Father, instead of going through so much trouble, why not just find a way to prevent Xie Jin from going to the northern border?"
Marquis Changning sneered, "In Xie Jin's eyes, that was a merit that was within his grasp. How could he not go? As long as it could get him promoted, Xie Jin would do whatever it took to get promoted. I stopped him once, but I can't stop him every time."
"In addition, Xie Jin's wife, Gu Xirong, is also an evil woman. Who knows what kind of 'dreams' she will have in the future? In short, since we can't stop them, there's no need to let them bear a grudge against us. As long as we can achieve our goal, it doesn't matter if it's a little troublesome."
Zhou Jin suddenly realized, "Xie Jin is unlucky. He has left the capital and is out of Li Guojiu's sight. But likewise, he has left the capital and is out of your majesty's sight. It will be much easier for Li Guojiu to take action than in the capital."
"Who said it wasn't true?" Zhou Ze, the Marquis of Changning, shook his head and sighed, "If Your Majesty had more princes, he might be able to do this. But Your Majesty only has one prince, the Crown Prince. As the Crown Prince's uncle, he is one of the Crown Prince's forces. There are countless people outside who want to curry favor with Uncle Li."
"Uncle Li didn't dare to reach out to the army before, but now the Li family, especially Li Mu, the traitor, has done many things that Uncle Li didn't dare to do. How could they let Xie Jin go?"
