"Father." Not long after Xiao Weigang left the Wang family's study, a secret door on the east side of the study quietly slid open. Wang Changtai, with a solemn expression, strode out of the secret door. He came closer and faced
Wang Yue, who closed his eyes in deep thought, bowed and called out in a low voice.
"Yes." Wang Yue nodded with a hint of exhaustion, opened his eyes, looked at Wang Changtai who was saluting respectfully, and asked calmly: "You have heard it, tell me, what do you think?"
"Father, I think that Xiao Wei is just trying to control me, Yan Xi, by Liu Zhenxiong's hand. His intentions are ulterior, so we must be on guard." Wang Changtai pondered for a moment, and then spoke out what was on his mind.
"So what?" Wang Yue frowned in dissatisfaction and snorted coldly.[
"Father, the land of Yanxi is not the Yanxi of the Liu family, let alone the Yanxi of the Xiao family. How can we allow him to stir up trouble here? Besides, Yanxi is now in a troubled year, and there is no room for chaos. Father,
The kid still thinks..." Wang Changtai is obviously a stickler for his own opinions. Even though he saw his father being dissatisfied, he still spoke without flinching. Unexpectedly, just in the middle of his words, Wang Yue waved his hand and interrupted him.
He kept his mouth shut, but his face showed a look of dissatisfaction.
"Tai'er, my father has told you so many times, don't just stare at the sky as big as the palm of Yanxi, but look at the world. If you are so broad-minded, your achievements will be limited." Wang Yue looked at it steadily.
After Wang Changtai waited for a while, he said earnestly: "I think my Wang family comes from Wang, Langya County. Our ancestors fled to Yanxi to escape the chaos of the late Han Dynasty. It has been passed down for sixteen generations now. Although the family has
Here, the roots are in the Central Plains. Every time I pass down the fragrance of books to my family, I do it in order not to forget the homeland of the Central Plains. Today, "chaos" will arise again in the world. It is difficult to predict who will be in charge.
Although Mr. Liu can be considered a hero, he is only slightly better than ordinary people. If Mr. Liu was not old, he might still be able to do it. Now that Mr. Liu is old, what will happen to Yanxi?
If you avoid it, how can there be any intact eggs under the overturned nest?"
"Father's lesson is correct. It's just that when I look at Xiao Wei, a trouble-free person, his intentions are unpredictable. This time he interferes in the battle for the governor of Yanxi, there must be a conspiracy. If we, Yanxi, are in chaos,
In front, and the imperial court attacked from behind, if the skin is gone, how can the 'hair' general be attached?" Long before Xiao Wei arrived, Wang Changtai had had a dispute with his father because of Xiao Wei, and he listened to his father and Xiao Wei
After Wei's fierce confrontation, the fear and wariness of Xiao Wei in his heart not only did not let go, but actually deepened. Even though Wang Yue was tempted so much, Wang Changtai still did not change his original intention.
Faced with Wang Changtai's stubbornness, Wang Yue slowly shook his head and said: "Yes, there is such a danger, but from my father's point of view, what Xiao Wei said is more serious than what he thought. Yan Xi will not
"Chaos"! I have always rarely treated others lightly, but this son, Xiao Wei, is very popular with me. He has the world in mind and the people in his heart. He is rare. It has been easy to become a hegemon since ancient times, but it is difficult to become a king. If this son doesn't
If you die young, you will definitely achieve great things in the future. Whether our Wang family can return to the Central Plains may depend on this son."
"Ah, father..." Wang Changtai did not expect that his father would think so highly of Xiao Wei. He was dumbfounded for a moment and opened his mouth wide, not knowing what to say.
"Golden scales are not like things in the pond. They turn into dragons when encountering clouds and rain. Unfortunately, they are so old that they may not survive that day." After Wang Changtai sighed with emotion, he looked at Wang Changtai with a loving look on his face.
Changtai said: "Idiot, idiot, that's all. I'll explain it to you in detail as a father. Yanxi now is actually just a small part of the overall situation. Even outstanding people like Mr. Liu have not done anything."
The only qualification for playing chess is to follow the steps of others and move into your own game. Although Xiao Wei is extremely intelligent, it is a pity that he is still a chess piece and does not know it. It is just that with his wisdom, he is afraid that
It has been observed. Therefore, while being used, he is also taking advantage of the situation. This is a smart move. As for Liu Zhenxiong, he is actually the candidate for the governor that Liu Gong wholeheartedly wants to support. The reason why
To ignore it in every possible way is just to hide people's ears and eyes. If you see through this, you must be able to see through the fog with your wisdom."
As soon as Wang Yue said these words, Wang Changtai was sweating profusely. He was numb for a long time, bent down deeply, lowered his head and said: "Father, I know that I am wrong, but, well, I just need to do something for this."
It's very serious, please ask father to give me some advice."
"Let nature take its course. You only need to manage Yanxi's government affairs securely so that you may be able to join the cabinet in the future. The future of our Wang family will depend on you, so we can take care of ourselves." Wang Yue had spent all his time fighting with Xiao Wei before.
At this time, after another grand discussion, people were already very tired. When they saw that Wang Changtai had rounded the bend, he relaxed and his fatigue immediately surged up. He waved his hand vigorously, signaling Wang Changtai to retreat.
Next, he closed his eyes again, lowered his head, and began to think silently... Although Jinchang City is the most prosperous place in Yanxi, it is not a place with rich night life like Zhongdu.
, there were very few pedestrians on the road, especially in the inner city where the dignitaries lived. The spacious streets were empty, except for the luxurious carriage Xiao Wei was riding in, surrounded by a group of royal guards, walking slowly.
Driving on the ground, as for Xiao Wei himself, he was leaning on the golden pier at this time, closing his eyes and concentrating - a conversation with Wang Yue, which took nearly two hours, was enough to run up
Two marathons, not to mention the verbal and psychological exchanges between the two sides during the period, the physical and mental effort was not small. Even though Xiao Wei had extraordinary physical strength, at this moment he felt that he could not hold back the energy and wished he could hurry up.
After a long sleep, it was a pity that Xiao Wei wanted to go back to his thoughts, but now Xiao Wei couldn't fall asleep at all, just because he hadn't figured out how to face everyone in the Liu family, especially his grandfather Liu Xiaoquan.
It is definitely a good thing to get Wang Yue's acquiescence, but it is still far from the support Xiao Wei originally expected. However, it is still barely acceptable. After all, Wang Yue's acquiescence represents Yan's support.
However, Xiao Wei originally wanted to use the Wang family to pressure Liu Xiaoquan to accept his proposal. Now this expectation is obviously disillusioned. As a result, how to deal with Liu Xiaoquan will be enough for Xiao Wei to have a headache, let alone what happens next.
There is also history, the Zhang family must negotiate, and the difficulty is probably no less than convincing Liu Xiaoquan. Xiao Wei has no idea how to proceed at the moment, but at this moment, he is mentally and physically exhausted, and his head is in a mess.
It is really difficult to calm down and think about it.
"Young prince, we're here." The carriage stopped in front of the gate of Liu Mansion at some point. He looked at Xiao Wei in the carriage for a long time without responding. As a personal servant, Xiao San had to rush to the carriage curtain.
, reminded him in a low voice.
"Oh." Xiao Wei said in a daze, shook his swollen head vigorously, stretched out his hand, pulled open the curtain of the carriage, and slowly got out of the carriage, ignoring the servants of the Liu Mansion who came forward to greet them.
With a tone of voice, he buried his head and entered the house. He planned to go back to his small courtyard first and sort out his thoughts carefully. As for other things, we might as well wait until tomorrow. This idea was a beautiful idea, but unfortunately it fell into the empty space before waiting.
Xiao Wei walked past the concierge, and several guards in black armor came over and blocked Xiao Wei's way.
"My young prince, the Governor of my family has invited you." A military man who was obviously the leader of the guards bowed to Xiao Wei and reported the report politely but firmly.
Huh? It's such a coincidence. Ha, maybe grandpa has planned it and is waiting for us? If that's the case, then... Xiao Wei's heart moved, and he seemed to have grasped the root of the matter. He rolled his eyes, and
Not in a hurry to express his position, he flicked his sleeves, took out a folding fan, opened it with a smile, shook it gently a few times, and then said calmly: "Thank you, Xiao Wang just came back from outside.
, covered in stinking sweat, how about allowing Xiao Wang to wash up before going to see grandpa?"
"This..." The head guard did not expect Xiao Wei to answer like this. It was neither right nor wrong to say "no" for a moment. He really didn't know how to deal with it - Liu Xiaoquan was in Liu Mansion and even Yan
Xidu was a well-known figure. He invited me, but no one dared to say "no". It was because Xiao Wei had a distinguished position and was a guest, so he didn't want to go. The guards really tried their best to do anything with him.
No, we couldn't force Xiao Wei to go, but they didn't have the courage to disobey Liu Xiaoquan's order, so they couldn't help but freeze on the spot.
"That's it." Xiao Wei had already made up his mind at this time. He was not afraid of what Liu Xiaoquan would think of him. He laughed and didn't care how embarrassed the expressions of the black-armored guards were.
Waving the folding fan in his sleeves, he led the palace guards back to his small courtyard in a swaggering manner. He went to wash up and take out food and drink. He didn't pay attention to Liu Xiaoquan's call, just like a stranger... Liu Xiaoquan lived in
In the bungalow, more than a dozen palace lanterns were lit together, illuminating the spacious interior. However, in the huge room, there were only two people, Liu Xiaoquan, who was lying on the kang, and Lei Long, who was standing silently on the edge of the kang.
There was no desire to speak, and all eyes were fixed on the ajar door, with a trace of unsuppressible expectation on their faces.
The ajar door creaked open from the outside. Liu Lei and Liu Lei couldn't help but look a little excited on their faces. But when they saw that the person walking in was a black-armored guard, their faces couldn't help but express excitement.
The ground darkened at the same time, and they looked at each other, but no one was in a hurry to speak.
"I would like to report to the Commander-in-Chief, but my subordinates are capable but have not been able to invite the young prince here." The black-armored guard strode into the room, bowed and saluted, and reported the report with a guilty look on his face.
"Huh?" Liu Xiaoquan said dissatisfiedly: "Tell me, what's going on?"
"When I go back to the Grand Governor, the young prince insists on washing himself before coming to see the Grand Governor. I really don't dare to stop him." The black-armored guard lowered his head and replied.[
"Oh? Got it, let's go down." Liu Xiaoquan couldn't help being stunned when he heard that Xiao Wei gave such a reason. Then he smiled bitterly, waved his hand, and signaled the black-armored guard to retreat, and said calmly
After chanting for a while, he looked at Thunder Dragon and said: "Haha, it seems that the little guy is angry. How about Brother Lei going to invite me on my behalf?"
The corners of Thunder Dragon's lips curled up, and he also showed a wry smile. He shook his head and said, "It's the same thing if I'm afraid. Mr. Liu, don't be anxious. The young prince will know the severity."
"Forget it, let's just wait." Liu Xiaoquan saw that Thunder Dragon refused to go, so he couldn't force it. In desperation, he had to smile bitterly, close his eyes, and half lie down...
