"......" Qing Yuanzun almost choked to death in vain, he didn't expect Miao Yi to give such an answer, he was speechless for a while, the expression on his face was very exciting, and he finally turned around and asked, "Do you have an opinion about Your Majesty?"

Miao Yi: "Your Highness misunderstood. ”

The answer ends here, and then no matter how Qing Yuanzun asks, he refuses to say the true answer that he can't pee in a pot, no matter whether you guess in the good or in the bad, he doesn't believe that his current status Qing Lord can punish him for a crime because of an unreliable word.

Seeing that he really didn't want to say this anymore, Qing Yuanzun smiled slightly: "It seems that Niu Dutong can't say everything about this palace, but this is also human nature, in the future, you and I will have more contact, and we should know what kind of person this palace is." If there is a chance another day, the main palace may go to the Netherlands, and the cattle will not be welcome, right?"

Miao Yi arched his hand and said: "Your Highness is laughing, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, no matter where Your Highness goes, no one dares not welcome it." ”

After the two of them were polite, the first meeting and exchange ended, they all knew that it was the first time they met, it was impossible to talk deeply, and it was not interesting to perfunctory, but it made people feel too fake, and it should be stopped in moderation, in fact, Qing Yuanzun's words today have been a little too much.

In fact, there are some words Miao Yi can completely refrain from returning him, he has no real power and the son of heaven can't take Miao Yi what, after all, Miao Yi is not a palace maid who can let him beat and scold, but a prince of the Heavenly Court, and it is the only direct subordinate of his mother who is in charge of military power outside the Heavenly Palace, he does not dare to offend too much, if Miao Yi really wants to get separated from his mother, it will make his mother lose control of the 100,000 elites, and will anger his mother, his mother may not be able to take others in the Heavenly Palace, but the mother really wants to clean him up as a son, he really has no temper, dare to do disobedient things, and he has to worry about his father's opinion of him, as long as his father is willing, he can give birth to a second one at any time, the third son came out, and there was no shortage of fertile women in the harem.

"Zun'er, how about chatting with Niu Youde?"

Seeing that Qing Yuanzun was back, Xiahou Chengyu, who was dressed in filial piety, immediately got up and asked with anticipation.

Qing Yuanzun smiled faintly: "This cow is a little interesting. "I didn't say much, and my bearing was graceful and calm, because this is what my mother wanted to see since he was a child, and once he didn't do it properly, his mother would punish him severely, so he would try to behave decently in front of his mother.

When he was young, he didn't understand why his mother was so harsh on him, but when he grew up, he gradually understood, understood that his mother and the family behind his mother did not like his father, understood that his father's favorite woman was someone else, understood what his mother was most worried about, worried that he left a bad impression on his father, and also understood that the honor and disgrace and future of their mother and son were tied together.

Seeing that his son was calm, Xiahou Chengyu nodded with satisfaction, even if it is not counted in the relationship between mother and son, this son is really too important to her, and her future is in this son.

On the day of Xiahou's funeral, a beautiful funeral is inevitable, although it is only a clothed mound.

The funeral guests returned one after another, and after the funeral, Wei Shu followed Xiahou Ling and slowly walked towards the gate of the forbidden garden, where no one was allowed to trespass.

This time and the previous walk here for Xiahou Ling, the mood is completely different, the closer to the gate, the more excited the mood, the Forbidden Garden may not be luxurious, but very simple, but everyone in the Xiahou family knows what it means to enter the Forbidden Garden.

When Xiahou Ling stepped into the gate of the forbidden garden, and no one stopped him, he had a feeling of numbness in his scalp, as if there was an electric current swimming on the surface of his body, and that kind of excitement was difficult for outsiders to understand, because outsiders did not know the huge power hidden by Xiahou's family.

He looked at the big tree in the garden at a glance, turned around slightly, walked straight to the bottom of the big tree, and reached out to caress the rough trunk of the big tree, which was indeed rough, but it could make people feel the inside of this big tree as quiet as a mountain that no one could shake.

He knew that from this moment on, he was the true master of this forbidden garden!

However, the words couldn't say this explicitly, but sighed softly: "I now know the reason why my father liked this tree when he was alive, the person standing here is the one who wants to shelter the Xiahou family from the wind and rain." ”

Wei Shu bowed slightly and said, "What the master said is reasonable." ”

"But what about some people, they are sons of men in vain!" Xiahou Ling Huo Ran turned around, a chill appeared in his eyes.

Speaking of this, he was a little angry in his heart, in order to appease those brothers who were hidden in the dark and held the power of all aspects of the Xiahou family, he summoned all the brothers to worship secretly as the head of the family, which could be regarded as a temptation, who knew that the result of the temptation was simply miserable, no one listened to the tune, and none of them came, but said that it was easy to be exposed, or that there was no way to get out for the time being, and only sacrificed in the place where they belonged.

Only this, Xiahou Ling immediately understood that none of the brothers who were hidden in the shadows trusted him, and gave him a dismount, what does this mean? It means that although he took over the Xiahou family, he did not grasp the real power of the Xiahou family.

Everyone understands that the power of the Xiahou family is by no means on the table, what is really fearful is secret, and not being able to control the underground power of the Xiahou family means that he, the head of the family, is just a virtual appearance, what is going on?

Before, the old man's mourning period has not passed, he has been enduring it, and today, he is going to have a showdown with Wei Shu!

Wei Shu naturally knew who he was referring to, and he lowered his head slightly and remained silent.

Xiahou Ling said in a deep voice: "Wei Shu, if the old man is alive, how will he deal with this kind of disobedience?"

Wei Shu said softly: "Never be tolerated, kill a hundred to make an example!"

Xiahou Ling stared at him, "Then what do you think I should do?"

Wei Shu: "Kill!"

For this reply, Xiahou Ling breathed a sigh of relief, his scrutinizing gaze softened, and he turned around with his hand, "After all, they are all siblings, and it is better not to do this unless it is absolutely necessary." ”

Speaking of this, it was better not to understand the details of the Xiahou family before, but after understanding, it made him a little angry, the crux of the problem was the structure of the underground forces of the Xiahou family, and he found that it was difficult for him to be as decisive as the old man when he first took over.

Tilted his head to look at Wei Shu and added, "Presumably, when the old man is alive, there must be a way to check and balance my brothers." ”

Wei Shu nodded and said: "The way of checks and balances is very simple, that is, they don't know each other's details, and letting those masters keep the unknown fear is the best way to check and balance." ”

Xiahou Ling added, "What if someone really makes trouble?"

Wei Shu: "It is easy for no one to make trouble, it is not in everyone's interests, although those lords have their own main forces, they have always been distinct, and they support each other, and the key point that connects you lords together is the head of the family." The old man has always maintained this structure when he was alive, maintaining everyone's independence, not only to prevent one party from losing hands and others, but also to prevent one party from sitting uncontrollable, after the old man has worked hard to make the pattern finalized, you will not easily meddle in the sphere of influence of other masters, and each other will guard their own territory in order to ensure their own interests and not let other forces intervene, otherwise it will cause conflicts. In this way, the unity of the forces in the hands of the masters is obvious, and it is impossible to make trouble alone, for example, some of the masters need intelligence information to support, and some of them need financial resources to support, but we don't want to be swayed by other forces, so for the masters, it is in their best interests to ensure that they support each other and maintain the original order independently, no one wants the Xiahou family to be in chaos, and it is not good for anyone to make trouble, and whoever dares to make trouble will inevitably lead to a group of attackers, presumably no one is willing to give up their huge interests to join the heavenly court to be a groveling courtier with a predictable future, not to mention betraying the Xiahou family, the heavenly court may not be able to keep him。 ”

Xiahou Ling's expression was complicated, and some of them wanted to stop talking, but after all, some words were not as good as saying in front of Fu Tong, who he killed with his own hands, at least not to the point where he could speak freely with Wei Shu, so he sighed: "The old man is scheming, but what I'm worried about is that everyone can't unite when something happens!"

Wei Shu: "At least for the old man, even if the Xiahou family encounters big trouble with this structure, no force can uproot the Xiahou family, and even the Xiahou family itself does not know how many tentacles there are within each other, even if it encounters a big turmoil, it can always retain some of the foundation for a comeback, so as not to completely destroy the Xiahou family... Maybe this is the most important thing for the old man, even the old man himself didn't expect the Xiahou family to be smooth sailing forever. ”

Xiahou Ling slowly closed his eyes and said slowly: "But this is a trouble for me to completely control the Xiahou family." ”

Wei Shu: "Maybe what the old man is worried about is that the old man completely controls the Xiahou family." ”

Xiahou Tuo suddenly opened his eyes and looked, "What do you mean?"

Wei Shu: "Do you remember what the old man once reminded the minion? That is actually what the old man meant by asking the minion to tell him." ”

Xiahou Tuo's eyes flickered, "What words?"

Wei Shu: "The old man hopes that the Xiahou family will always maintain this clumsy state, the old man is worried that the successor will not be willing to condescend to others after knowing the details and strength of the Xiahou family, and will show all the strength of the Xiahou family to the top, the old man once predicted that if there is really that day, the Xiahou family will not be far from destruction, everything is placed in the open, the open gun is easy to dodge, the hidden arrow is difficult to prevent, no matter how strong the strength is, it can't stop the world's plots, the demon monk Nanbo is a lesson from the past!"

Xiahou Tuo was silent for a long time, and asked softly, "It's still the same sentence, what if any of my brothers make trouble?"

Wei Shu: "The old man has established a very good system, if someone really wants to make trouble, the same sentence, even if it is for everyone's own interests, the old man gives an order, and all parties must obey the orders of the head of the family to quell the civil strife." In fact, the old man will not spend too much energy to govern the underneath during his lifetime, he only grasps one thing, that is, to maintain the established system, only to keep an eye on whether the lord's sphere of influence has deviated, once it is discovered, it will be suppressed immediately, this way can easily get the full support of the violated sphere of influence, as long as the scope of your lord's authority is clear, as long as you grasp this, the Xiahou family will not be easy to get out of civil strife. ”

Xiahou Tuo slowly looked back at the house where Xiahou Tuo lived in front of him, and seemed to say to himself: "The old man has just passed away, and I am only afraid that a storm is inevitable......

"Who are you contacting?"

Netherworld Capital, Miao Yi took the star bell as soon as he returned, and he didn't know where to contact him, Yun Zhiqiu, who followed the house, didn't bother, and it wasn't until he stopped contacting Yun Zhiqiu that he asked out loud.

"Yang Qing. Miao Yi replied.

Yun Zhiqiu knew him too well, and couldn't help but glance him up and down, and asked, "What happened?"

"I interrogated you at the Tianweng Mansion before. ”

"Heavenly Son Qing Yuanzun?"

"Hmm. ”

"I've been in contact with him many times, just like that, he doesn't fake the color of the person he doesn't like, and then he refrains from paying attention to it, and he talks a lot about people who have a good impression, which shows that he has a good impression of you, and you should rest assured. ”

"Growing up in a harem of intrigue, can it be so simple?"

"Hehe! Although the reason is good, but it is also necessary to divide people, after all, there are not many people in the Heavenly Palace who dare to give him a look, how can he have experienced any setbacks, although he always pretends to look like a very city government, but in fact, he is still a little tender. ”

Miao Yi nodded slightly after hearing this, and said with a smile: "In this way, I am too worried, Qing Yuanzun asked a bunch of such words when he saw me for the first time, and I always felt that I had no bottom in my heart along the way, so I asked Yang Qing what he meant." ”

Yun Zhiqiu said curiously: "What is Yang Qing's opinion?"

Miao Yi muttered: "Isolate one side, but can not be isolated from the world, as long as Xiahou Chengyu needs, and we can do it, we will do our best to support Xiahou Chengyu, Qingyuanzun is the lifeblood of Xiahou Chengyu, can only be friends, not enemies! This is the current general direction." ”

Yun Zhiqiuming's eyes blinked: "Xiahou Tuo is dead, is it possible that someone wants to test the depth of Xiahou Ling, support Xiahou Chengyu, Yang Qing is not afraid of starting a fire?"

Miao Yi shook his head: "I am also worried, but what Yang Qing said also has some truth, I have come to this point, with the suppression of the Qing Lord, no one in the Manchu Dynasty has dared to support me openly, with the strength of the Netherworld Mansion, it is not enough to resist the risk from the court, unless I want to give up the foundation laid now, it is difficult to support it alone, for today's plan, although Xiahou Chengyu is not the best backer of the Netherworld Mansion, it is the best choice at present." Yang Qing means that as long as the Xiahou family does not fall, Xiahou Chengyu will not easily fall, and Qingyuanzun is the son of the Qingzhu after all, no matter what happens in the future, the current Qingyuanzun is far from the point of disgusting the Qingzhu, unless Qingyuanzun is incorrigibly stupid, so as long as he gets the support of this mother and son, from another point of view, he may get some degree of support from the Qingzhu and the Xiahou family. ”

Yun Zhiqiu groaned: "The Xiahou family is good to say, it is already in our calculations, you have betrayed the green master, I am afraid it is not easy to change the perception of the green master." ”

"Yang Qing's head is still easy to use. Miao Yi smiled and said, "Go, let Feihong come to see me." ”

Imperial Garden, 9,000 years ago, a new palace was built, called 'Heavenly Palace', which was specially opened for the Son of Heaven Qing Yuanzun.

After the Son of Heaven became an adult, the Qing Lord ordered the construction of this palace, and there were too many beauties in the harem, and it was reasonable for Qing Yuanzun to move out.

In the palace, Qing Yuanzun was cultivating in the small hall, and someone outside the door suddenly announced: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has summoned you." ”

Qing Yuanzun heard the news and quickly came out.

The head of the Heavenly Palace, Ye Xiao, was waiting outside, a rich middle-aged man who always kept a smile on his face, and the housekeeper personally selected by the Qing Lord for Qing Yuanzun.

Qing Yuanzun, who went out, asked, "Is my father out of the customs?" After returning from Xiahou's house, the Qing Lord was practicing in retreat, and the father and son never saw each other.

Ye Xiao bowed slightly and said, "It should be." ”

Qing Yuanzun gave him a blank look, and quickly swept away, and immediately a team of guards followed.
