Cao Yue finally understood that Li Yongping summoned him to this place today, not because of any urgent matter to discuss with him, but just to express a gesture--- the Li family he represented had an unusual relationship with the Cao family.

Li Yongping did not say anything related to the marriage, nor did he say anything about other major matters, except for the incident related to yesterday's attack, most of the others were miscellaneous matters. He actually talked about Zhang Qingli and Nie Qing going shopping together, saying that these two women really smelled like each other, and they actually chatted very much.

Li Yongping praised Nie Qing's excellence, and said that when Nie Qing got married, he and Zhang Qingli would definitely come to congratulate him in person.

If Cao Yue still doesn't understand when it comes to this, then he will be too slow to react.

On the way back, Cao Yue kept thinking about what happened just now, and he also knew a little that Li Yongping's current situation was indeed a bit delicate.

Yesterday he was attacked, and Li Yongping, as the No. 1 chief, paid close attention to this matter and personally received him, and the news will definitely spread quickly.

Every move of the upper-class people represents a special meaning, and Li Yongping's actions are seen and experienced by people from other families in their eyes, and they will definitely have various ideas.

As for what they will think, that's not what Cao Yue cares about.

When Cao Yue went back, Cao Zhongyi called him over and asked about Li Yongping's meeting.

Cao Yue didn't hide it either, and told the truth.

After Cao Zhongyi heard this, he sighed with emotion: "He still hopes that our Cao family can be tied to his chariot." ”

"Grandpa, what are we going to do then?" Cao Yue wanted to hear Cao Zhongyi's opinion.

Zhang Qingli was deliberately approaching Nie Qing, and the meaning was the same. Cao Zhongyi said happily: "Actually, his situation is quite embarrassing now. His ascension to the throne was the result of everyone's compromise, but he was not a person who was willing to mess around and wanted to hold power in his hands. With the influence of his power, it is not easy to do this, so he wants to find strong support. ”

Cao Yue didn't speak, he listened quietly, he knew some things that his grandfather was willing to say, even if he didn't ask, he would say it, if Cao Zhongyi didn't want to say, it was useless for him to ask.

"Our Cao family is strong enough now, and many of the main generals in the army are protégés of the Cao family, and our support is what he feels most down-to-earth. Cao Zhongyi still didn't say the answer Cao Yue wanted, and asked rhetorically: "Xiao Yue, what do you think we should do?"

Cao Yue thought for a while and said: "Grandpa, I think it's good that power is restrained by elbows, the matter of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge is too common in history, and there are many allusions to rabbits and dead dogs, we must learn from history." ”

"It's not bad to have such an idea, we can't be cooked lackeys," didn't need to be too clear, Cao Zhongyi also understood what Cao Yue meant, and there was a look of approval on his face, "You know why grandpa asked you to go to the history department, right?"

"It wouldn't be a bad thing to know more about history, many times, history would simply repeat itself, and the struggle for power would have the same pattern," Cao Yue grinned.

"You think farther than Xiao Zhi, and you are more patient and insightful than him, you two brothers, I am more optimistic about you. What do you want to do, just let it go, the bigger the noise, the better, some things that you have to worry about, as long as you feel that it is right to do that, you can do it boldly, it's a big deal that grandpa will help you wipe your ass," Cao Zhongyi said, reaching out and patting Cao Yue's shoulder, "When you were in the army, you surprised us, and you still surprise us from time to time, and I hope it will be the same in the future." ”

"Thank you grandpa for the compliment, I must keep my grandfather's teachings in mind. Cao Yue was happy in his heart.

With his grandfather's Shang Fang sword and Li Yongping's overtures, he felt that his peers from the other families, including Lu Dahui, Zhu Jianrong, and Li Zongyu, were not his opponents at all. However, it is a somewhat difficult problem to subdue them to suppression, or to eliminate them by means that do not arouse public outrage.

"Grandpa had such an idea, I hope that one day you can also reach the height of Li Xiaoqin's father. It's just that even one day, grandpa can't see it. After Cao Zhongyi sighed, he whispered to Cao Yue, "In the next half a year, you'd better not move anything, they want to move and let them move." After half a year, you can be bold and do something. ”

"Grandpa, I know," Cao Yue already understood the meaning of Cao Zhongyi's order, in the next half a year, the battle between the upper echelons is likely to be very fierce, for the Cao family, stability is the most important, you can win steadily, and the other families want to toss things, just let them toss, and when they toss things, find their flaws and fight for interests.

"If my expectations are good, Li Xiaoqin's father will do a lot of actions in the next time, some people will be taken down, and some people will be picked up. The army is the place where the movement is the greatest, hehe," Cao Zhongyi looked at Cao Yue with strange eyes, and the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, "I hope that the people of our Cao family can go further, and that's enough." ”

"Grandpa, I understand," Cao Yue further abruptly said, and assured: "I will definitely not cause chaos at home." ”

Cao Zhongyi didn't give any more orders, and let Cao Yue go play by himself.

At dinnertime, Cao Jianguo also came.

There are a few more people, and the house seems to be more lively.

Nine people, eating around a large table, narrowed Xu Lile's eyes into a slit.

Zheng Han is also very happy to be able to eat with these key members of the Cao family, which means that she has been completely accepted and doesn't have to worry about anything. In addition, those competitors no longer pose a threat to her, and she is naturally happy in her heart.

After eating, Cao Zhongyi asked Cao Jianguo and Cao Jianmin to come to his study to talk, and after the three of them talked, they called Cao Yue and Cao Zhi in.

In front of his son and grandson, Cao Zhongyi also explained some things, which probably means that all the Cao family members should unite, not fight with each other, and strive to further increase the influence of the Cao family.

Some important words, Cao Zhongyi has already told them separately, gathering his son and grandson to talk together, just to encourage them.

The future development direction of Cao Yue and Cao Zhi, Cao Zhongyi also said it in front of the two fathers.

After graduating from Cao Zhi's Military Academy, he naturally had to go to the grassroots company for training, and Cao Zhongyi was ready to let Cao Zhi go to the Southern Theater and serve as a soldier under Cao Jianmin.

"My son polishes and disciplines by himself," Cao Zhongyi said, blocking Cao Jianmin's mouth who wanted to express another opinion.

Cao Jianmin didn't dare to object, so he could only agree.

Cao Zhi, who originally wanted Cao Yue to help ask for help, was also very happy after listening to what his grandfather said.

He is afraid of going to the northwest, and he is afraid that there will be no one to take care of him, and being a soldier under his father will be very bitter, but he will definitely not be bullied.

After talking for a long time, Cao Zhongyi was also tired, and let his son and grandson disperse.

Cao Yue, who originally wanted to go over to talk to Nie Dan and Zheng Han, was pulled by Cao Jianguo to another room to talk.

Cao Yue thought that he was going to be reprimanded by his father again, but what he didn't expect was that Cao Jianguo said something that surprised him.

"Xiao Yue, in the future, all the guards of the Cao family will be in charge of you, this is what grandpa means, and it is also what father and uncle mean," Cao Yue was very surprised after hearing Cao Jianguo say this.
