These words are colder than the wine that is almost cold on the table.
Even the old ancestors of the Xie family, who have experienced countless storms, feel a little dazed at this moment.
As one of the few old people in the Liang Dynasty, regardless of his status or status, he had not seen anyone who dared to speak to him in this tone in front of him for many years.
Even when Emperor Liang invaded the capital city and came to visit him before ascending the throne, he did not do so like the Chen Dynasty. As for the previous guard envoy Ning Ping, he always treated him with the courtesy of a junior.
The dean of the academy is his junior. Many ministers in the court now face him and are not even qualified to call him teacher. Their seniority is even lower.
It has been a long, long time since I heard such frivolous words from a person like this.
The ancestor of the Xie family looked at Chen Chao and tried hard to open his cloudy eyes for the first time, as if he wanted to completely see through the young man in front of him.
Chen Chao never responded, just silently looking at the ancestor of the Xie family in front of him.
The two looked at each other like this for a long time.
The ancestor of the Xie family sighed and said: "At this time, you should be more polite to me and shouldn't talk to me like this."
In today's Daliang Dynasty, the Xie family is extremely important. If there is any turmoil, the entire Daliang Dynasty will be turbulent. After all, now that the Wei family has fallen, the Xie family's status has long been different.
Chen Chao came here just to confirm one thing, that is, Mr. Xie will keep walking forward according to his steps and follow behind him without making any mistakes.
Today's Daliang Dynasty needs to be truly monolithic from top to bottom.
Chen Chao said: "Senior, I am very polite now."
The ancestor of the Xie family looked at him and said, "If I don't follow you, what will happen to the Xie family?"
Chen Chao said bluntly: "After today, there will be no Xie family."
The ancestor of the Xie family asked curiously: "Aren't you afraid that Girl Xie will be sad?"
Chen Chao shook his head.
In such a big matter, personal emotions are very small.
The ancestor of the Xie family was very curious: "How can you destroy my Xie family?"
Chen Chao is not a top-notch warrior in the world. He may not have the ability to rely on his own strength, even with two guards on his left and right.
Chen Chao said: "There is Eunuch Li in the imperial city, Mr. Zhou in the academy, Yu Xiyi has come to the capital of the gods, Song Lian is under my command, and I can mobilize the ministers in the imperial city. After all, is it enough?"
Even though Xie has many strong players, he still has to worry when facing such a lineup.
Chen Chao continued: "If it is not enough and the demon clan cannot go south now, I can let General Ning lead the border troops south."
The ancestor of the Xie family sighed: "You seem to have a lot of cards in your hand, but if you really want to do this, aren't you afraid that Daliang's vitality will be seriously damaged?"
Chen Chao thought for a moment and said, "I care, but I cannot allow this situation to happen."
The ancestor of the Xie family looked at the firm eyes of the young man in front of him, remained silent for a long time, and then suddenly clapped his hands.
Chen Chao raised his eyebrows. In those story books, in such a scene, the soldiers in the dark would often swarm him and cut him into pieces.
Chen Chao held down the handle of the knife at his waist.
But no soldiers rushed out, only two people escorted a middle-aged Taoist man in.
The ancestor of the Xie family looked at Chen Chao in front of him, took out a letter from his arms, put it on the table, and remained silent.
Chen Chao looked at the middle-aged Taoist.
Long before, he had received news from Baichuan Pavilion that someone outside Fang had entered the divine capital and came to the Xie family. He was waiting for the Xie family to tell him, but no one came to the door, so he came in person.
Already.
And I said so much before because I wanted to give Mr. Xie a chance.
The ancestor of the Xie family looked at Chen Chao and suddenly laughed, "I haven't done anything, but I just wanted to see what you would do. You are coming today, which is within my expectations, but your performance is beyond my expectation.
Unexpected."
Chen Chao said: "Senior thinks I can
Please be kind and calm, senior?"
The ancestor of the Xie family said: "You want to anger me with this, let's see how I choose? It's just a pity that I, the Xie family, am not the Wei family, and I have no interest in becoming the next Wei family. As for you, I was still worried about you.
, of course I don’t think much of you now, but since I don’t choose Fang Wai, I can only choose you, which is really helpless.”
If a big family wants to exist in this world for a long time, what it needs is to make correct decisions in the face of important things again and again.
The ancestor of the Xie family has been in charge of the Xie family for so many years and has never made any wrong decisions, but this time, he did not know whether the decision he made was wrong.
But it seems like there aren't many choices.
The ancestor of the Xie family looked at Chen Chao and said calmly: "He came here many days ago. I didn't talk to him about anything. I detained him when he came. I have been waiting for you."
Chen Chao looked at the ancestor of the Xie family, was silent for a moment, and then turned to look at the middle-aged Taoist.
The ancestor of the Xie family nodded, and someone removed the thing from his mouth, allowing him to speak.
The middle-aged Taoist glanced at Chen Chao and said calmly: "He indeed has not reached any agreement with us."
Chen Chao looked at the middle-aged Taoist, was silent for a while, and asked, "We didn't talk about anything?"
The middle-aged Taoist snorted coldly: "I've never seen him before."
Chen Chao hummed, looked at the two people beside the man, and said with a smile: "In that case, I'll let you two deal with him."
Hearing this, the two people were startled. They originally thought that Chen Chao was going to take the middle-aged Taoist away for interrogation.
The ancestor of the Xie family waved his hand.
The two of them didn't say anything, and soon took the middle-aged Taoist away.
Chen Chao came back to his senses, picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it in one gulp, smiling and saying, "I still believe in my seniors."
The ancestor of the Xie family smiled and said: "No one in this world is worthy of trust. Everyone needs to make their own judgment. If you regret it now, it's still too late."
Chen Chao shook his head and said, "I can trust you, senior."
The ancestor of the Xie family did not speak in a hurry. He just reached for the wine pot on the stove and poured a glass of wine for Chen Chao. Then he sighed: "When people are old, they don't dare to drink cold drinks. They are always afraid that they will die soon."
But in my life, as an official, I have read all six ministerial books, met several Your Majesties, and lived long enough, so I don’t have too many regrets. Oh, by the way, I haven’t given anything to you in this life.
There are fewer people who have poured wine for me in recent years. Even when that boy from Ningping came here, he was the one who poured wine for me."
Chen Chao smiled and said, "That junior is very honored."
The ancestor of the Xie family said calmly: "You and Girl Xie are both energetic young people with great ambitions. I am old and can't stop you anymore, but I hope you will think carefully when doing things.
I think, after all, what you are going to do is not just about the two of you, but a whole world and countless people. If you don't do something well, so many people will be implicated. As the old saying goes, governing a big country is like cooking small dishes. This is the truth.
.Although I don’t know why Your Majesty trusts you so much, I admire Your Majesty and I believe in his vision.”
"That's it, you should be more careful."
Chen Chao smiled and nodded.
The ancestor of the Xie family rubbed his brows tiredly, "Xie family still has some influence in the government and the public. I will help you with the rest. Just feel free to do what you want to do."
"Thank you very much, senior."
Chen Chao cupped his hands and stood up to salute solemnly.
The ancestor of the Xie family looked at Chen Chao in front of him with a pair of cloudy eyes, and suddenly laughed and cursed: "The way you looked just now is really similar to Emperor Taizong and His Majesty when he was young, but think about it, you don't have the same
Does it bleed with their blood?"
Chen Chao wanted to speak but stopped.
The ancestor of the Xie family shook his head and said: "You are indeed not very similar to Prince Yiwen. He is gentle and elegant, which is different from you."
The ancestor of the Xie family naturally knew what Chen Chao wanted to say. After waving his hand, he picked up a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Actually, I also have some expectations. What step can you take? In this world, I live a good life."
