When the two returned to the mansion, Che Mingde immediately felt that the atmosphere in the mansion seemed slightly different, and every servant seemed to be more alert.
Sure enough, he met Liang Duofu soon. When he saw that he was back, he immediately came up with a smile and said, "Miss Yun, Mr. Che, Master is back."
When Che Mingde heard that Liang Changmao was back, he knew that the old man would see him soon. As expected, Duofu came to pass the message just after he returned to his yard.
Che Mingde immediately ran to Liang Changmao's side, and the Taiwei lived alone in a small courtyard, and there was no one else here, not even Liang Baiyun was there as he imagined.
Che Mingde met Liang Changmao in the study. Liang Taiwei set up a small wine table next to the desk with a few side dishes and a small jar of wine, and no one else was there.
Seeing that Che Mingde was coming, Liang Changmao immediately called him to sit down and said with a smile: "I heard that you went to Princess Kang's side and had not eaten yet. I specially asked the kitchen to make two side dishes and some wine, and we, the young and old, have a drink together."
"Okay." Che Mingde didn't be very polite, so he sat down and took the initiative to pour wine.
"I said I'm not here for the past few days, how are you getting along with Baiyun?" Liang Changmao looked at Che Mingde and asked casually.
"Fortunately, Miss Baiyun is a talented person." Che Mingde replied on the matter.
Liang Changmao frowned slightly after hearing this and said, "Mingde, are you not satisfied with my granddaughter?"
"I just don't want to win someone's love." Che Mingde said politely.
Liang Changmao narrowed his eyes and stared at Che Mingde and said, "You are so slippery, when I can't see it, you are deliberately looking for reasons, but my silly granddaughter took the initiative to give you the reason. I don't believe you can't see it. Zhou Xiaoyi was a shield she deliberately found. She just doesn't like my arrangements. I believe that if I contact you for a longer time, she will know you. Moreover, although my granddaughter is a bit naughty, she is still very sensible in terms of major issues. If you really become your wife, you will definitely think about you."
"Master Taiwei..."
"Hey! I don't like to listen to me." Liang Changmao shook his head directly.
Che Mingde smiled bitterly in his heart. I'm afraid this person knew that his granddaughter was scheming, so he took advantage of the situation to make a tough move earlier.
"Grandpa Liang, feelings cannot be forced. Although the matchmaker's words are ordered by his parents, it can..."
"Do you have a lover? If it is the little aunt Wanxia, ​​I will make the decision to let her be your concubine at that time, and I will guarantee that Baiyun will not bully that little girl." Liang Changmao was very happy.
"Grandpa Liang, I...I'm currently thinking about the palace examination, marriage..."
"Okay, there is still one month left. Don't worry about the scientific examination. If that girl does anything that disturbs your scientific examination, I will break his leg." Liang Changmao said.
Che Mingde saw that he was so incapable of doing so. The most important thing was that this matter was tacitly agreed by his father, which was related to his father's future. He just tried it and seemed to be completely out of the blueprint. Unless it caused a conflict between the two families, he would have to take the overall situation into consideration.
Che Mingde doesn't hate Liang Baiyun either. As Liang Changmao said, she is a sensible person, and even if she is trying to make plans, she will not give face in front of her. However, for Che Mingde, once she chooses, it seems that a life that she is more yearning for is far away from herself.
Seeing that Che Mingde was not speaking, Liang Changmao also sighed: "Do you guys think I'm deliberately making things difficult for you?"
"Don't dare?" Che Mingde immediately shook his head.
"You dare to compromise just because of my high position and power. I have been with you for so long. I can guess what you do and grow. Mingde, I want to treat you as my own person, or I say more directly: "My students or my three sons are not that kind of talent. Your father is one I am very optimistic about, and Your Majesty also values ​​him very much. I plan to train me to become my successor, but you know that there are risks in this succession." Liang Changmao suddenly changed his tone.
Grandpa Liang is referring to the fact that Your Majesty deliberately lifted His Highness Ninth." Che Mingde immediately understood.
Liang Changmao smiled bitterly and said, "Strictly speaking, your father and I are both His Majesty's party and are loyal to His Majesty. I am not much older than His Majesty, but I am a little bit short of what his Majesty thinks and what he wants to do. Although His Majesty is getting older, he is far from aging. In his early years, he established the prince early for the throne. But now the prince is over 20 years old, and there is nothing at the moment, but how many years will it take? What about ten years later?"
"Your Majesty's control over Jingguo is not like this, right?" Che Mingde said with a seemingly suspicious attitude.
"Before His Majesty lifted the Ninth Prince, the old master passed away. After his death, the person who was succeeding was the prince's teacher. His Majesty has seen that the prince's influence has gradually increased. After all, many young people are more willing to surround the prince. This is for the future. Secondly, like me, the old master, they were made friends with him when His Majesty was the prince. This is a very special relationship. I think you can understand after thinking about it for a little bit." Liang Changmao sighed bitterly.
"Grandpa Liang means that your Majesty is relying on you to control Jingguo."
"It's a pity that most of us are fifty or sixty years old. How many years can we live? Even if we live, how many experiences will we have? Your Majesty is still ambitious to unify the world, but in the past two years, Jing Kingdom has pacified Ming Kingdom, but Kun Kingdom has recovered from the things in the past two years. Now the King Ding was really capable, especially after the queen returned, the entire Kun Kingdom seemed to have undergone different changes, and the Bai Kingdom has been stable for many years. The Bai Kingdom has fallen into a balance. It is not that easy to destroy the two countries. In fact, Your Majesty also knows that the possibility of he can do it is slim. At present, the Three Kingdoms are actually the next generation of kings." Liang Changmao said helplessly.
"Grandpa Liang, then your current situation is not very good. Look at the glory, but if the prince ascends the throne in the future and wants to eradicate all threats, wouldn't it become a thorn in the side?" Che Mingde did not shy away when he saw Liang Changmao telling him this.
Liang Changmao smiled and said, "Those who can't understand can only think that Your Majesty prefers Your Highness Ninth, and you can understand it. You know that Your Majesty is trying to prevent the prince, but I know that Your Majesty has really changed the mind to change the prince."
