When Rong Sleeping Crane heard this, he nodded calmly: "The battle for military power between the national dynasty and the DPRK is the first to look at northern Xinjiang. Otherwise, why would King Gaomi and the Meng clan each send their relatives to intrigue in the Northern Xinjiang Army for so many years? However, although in the Northern Xinjiang Army, I still have no usable person like Chongxinbo, but the teacher has also left some behind. ”

"I have no doubt about your talents. Gongsun Shu frowned and said, "The key is that whether it is King Gaomi or the Meng clan, the involvement of the military power in the northern frontier began immediately after General Zhou went there!"

"And General Zhou has been gone for more than 20 years, but you haven't arrived in the north in person until now, ......?"

He groaned and asked in a low voice, "The old lady of the Sheng family was quite favored by General Zhou at the beginning, if you marry the county lord of Kangzhao, the old lady may be happy to read it for the sake of his granddaughter, and will help you?" But to be honest: first, the old lady has been disarmed for a long time, and I don't know how much is left of the old man who was in the army; second, when the old lady returned to his hometown, he was still in the prime of life, and his official position was not very high. I'm afraid that even if he wants to help you, his ability is limited?"

"Big brother has forgotten Ning Weihou?" Rong Mianhe reminded, "The old man of the Sheng family has indeed been disarmed for a long time, and his original official position was not high, but Ning Weihou is not. Even if he didn't have any contact with the army after he entered the court, in order to avoid suspicion, but this was all on the surface, how could he not leave any backhand in private?

Gongsun Shu sighed: "But he has a son, and he is as old as you, he is also young and promising, and it is said that the old marquis Xu is still passing on the martial arts, which shows that the Xu family still hopes that the son will inherit the family style...... In the end, not everyone can generously share their own things with others like Nanfeng Sanren! Even if there is the face of the old man of the Sheng family, such a big thing is probably hanging!"

Xu Wenduan is an only son, and although several elders of the Xu family beat and scolded him, they seemed to be very mean, but they didn't have the idea of sending him to the battlefield. Rong Mianhe shook his head when he heard this, "I guess that in addition to being afraid that he will have a good job, their old Xu family will be extinct, it is estimated that it is the encounter between General Zhou and Ning Weihou, which makes the old Xu family not dare to take the road of martial arts." ”

He said, "When we arrived in Chang'an last year, it seems that Ning Weihou and his wife misunderstood the meaning of my words, and hinted to me that if I wanted to go to northern Xinjiang, they could pave the way for me. ”

Gongsun Shu said "um": "If this is the case, then our chances of winning have increased a lot...... However, the Xu family seems to be a little insincere towards the Sheng family? They are fed up with the court's suspicion of Ning Weihou, so they are reluctant to let their own son go to Northern Xinjiang, but they don't object to you going?"

"The eldest brother has also met Xu Wenduan, don't you know his temperament?" Rong Sleeping Crane didn't think so, "Although this person is romantic, he is actually not a bad person, and the city government is also limited." If he goes to the northern frontier, he may not be able to cope with one. Originally, the imperial court was suspicious of Ning Weihou, if Ning Weihou sent his son to the army again, wouldn't this confirm his crime of harboring ill intentions and vainly trying to control the army?!"

"If you want to say that the Northern Frontier Army can cope with it at this age, it is true that only you and I have such an experience. Gongsun Shu nodded, "But after twenty years of operation, it should not be underestimated after all!"

Rong Sleeping Crane smiled and said: "Big brother, don't worry, my teacher, how can you run for twenty years?"

They discussed until dawn that night, worried that Luo Junshou and the others would wake up and find that they were not there, so he said goodbye to Gongsun Shu and planned to return to the house.

Before leaving, Gongsun Shu asked him: "The plan you said is indeed best supported by the Luo County Shou and the Luo family behind him, but if the Luo County Guard has been unwilling to agree......

"He'll say yes. Rong Sleeping Crane narrowed his eyes, "Jiangnan is not like Nanfeng County, there are no three powerful families, and there are only two wang families: the Gao family and the Luo family." The head of the Gao family married the daughter of the Marquis of Wu'an early in the morning, and belonged to the Meng family's ship, but the Luo family did not choose for a long time, so that there were few court officials in the clan in recent years, and they were all inimportant positions. If it goes on like this, Jiangnan will sooner or later become the dominant family of the Gao family, which is not a good thing for the Luo family. ”

"Of course, the Luo family has been in business for many years after all, even if the Gao family has the Meng family to rely on, it is not easy to do anything with them for a while. ”

"The problem is that the only sister-in-law of the head of the Gao family, Gao Chengxuan, was involved in the conflict between the two sisters-in-law under the knee of Wu'an Hou, and his cousin broke his leg and disfigured his appearance, and he missed the palace examination as a Huiyuan, and it has nothing to do with his career from now on!"

"Gao Chengxuan is only one year younger than me, he is nineteen years old this year, and he is the youngest child of his parents. Even if his father takes a concubine immediately, it's hard to say if he can have another son!"

"Even if he is born, who can guarantee that he will be the same as Gao Chengxuan, talented and intelligent, and he will be able to compete for the champion before he is twenty years old?"

"After all, it is not uncommon in a family for the elder brother to be smart and the younger brother to be stupid. ”

"The most important thing is that Your Majesty is over half a hundred years old, and he is still obsessed with sex all day long!"

"Even if His Majesty does not reveal that he will die at any time for the time being, no one expects him to live for another twenty years. ”

"Therefore, Gao Heyi, the head of the Gao family, has no way to obtain the reward for supporting the Meng family over the years by cultivating a biological son with a gold list title. ”

"So what will he do next?"

Gongsun Shu thought for a while, then narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Either simply turn your face with the Meng clan and no longer give Meng any support, or ...... I think the head of the house would have chosen the latter. ”

The reason is very simple, if you turn your face with the Meng family, not to mention whether the Gao family has this qualification, let's just say that the Gao family has made money bags for the Meng family for so long before, and now they fall out, and all the money they have invested will be wasted.

If you have no money to lose, you have to bear the suppression of the Meng family, such a stupid thing, even if Gao Heyi does it, the rest of the Gao family will not agree!

As for why he wants to increase support, it is because Gao Chengxuan lost his qualifications.

Originally, Gao Chengxuan's title on the gold list, with the status of his father's money bag and his blood relationship with Wu Anhou, it was not difficult to have smooth sailing after entering the office, which was not only good for the growth of the Meng family, but also a reward for the Gao family...... Rong Sleeping Crane sent someone to eavesdrop on him talking to Meng Guiyu before, which proved this: Wu Anhou even won the full support of the Meng family for this grandson.

It's a pity that Meng Jiayan had a reason to "stand up for his sister" and ruined this cousin who should have been on the rise.

In this way, Gao Chengxuan can't be an official, and Meng's return to the Gao family, at least for Gao Heyi and Meng Bichen, this return will be difficult to reflect in politics from now on.

In other aspects, the Gao family is either not lacking at all, or it is not too lacking.

After all, they are both Jiangnan Wang clans, and the Luo family would rather give up their careers for the time being than stand in line, but the Gao family is the head of the family who personally married the daughter of the Meng family, which shows their pursuit of power.

Therefore, after Gao Chengxuan's accident, after Gao Heyi and his wife were shocked, sad, angry, angry, retaliated and other emotions, what they needed to consider was...... How can they continue to seek the rewards of their power?

As Gongsun Shu said, of course, it is to increase support.

However, this time it is not necessarily to support the entire Meng family, but to support the second son of Wu Anhou.

After all, Gao Jiyi and his wife didn't know about Gao Chengxuan's tragedy, and tracing back to the source was Sheng Weiqiao's idea, only saying that the son was because Meng Bichen was closer to the second brother among the two brothers, which caused the eldest brother's eldest son Meng Jiayan to worry that Gao Chengxuan's gold list title would strengthen the power of his uncle's lineage, so on the eve of the palace exam, he set up a bureau to pit his cousin.

Due to the obstruction of Wu Anhou and his wife, Gao Jiyi and his wife not only failed to do anything with Meng Jiayan, but also because they repeatedly wanted to trouble Sheng Weiqiao, they were personally ordered to expel the guests by the Queen Mother and hurriedly returned to Jiangnan.

Just looking at the revenge of this couple against Sheng Weiqiao and the others, you know that they are so vicious when they are angry, how can they be soft on what they think is the culprit, even if it is their relatives?

Whether it is out of revenge or out of return, the Gao family will fully turn to Meng Bomei, the second son of Meng, in order to let Meng Bomei replace Meng Boshen, the son of the Hou of Wu'an, so as to be ashamed of Gao Chengxuan.

"Although because of King Gaomi, the Meng clan will inevitably strive to unite at this time, even if Wu Anhou prefers the second son, he will not change the son in this eye, so as not to shake people's hearts. Rong Sleeping Crane said, "But after the victory or defeat between the Meng clan and the King of Gaomi is separated, it will be difficult to say!

Gongsun Shu smiled and said, "No wonder you are sure to convince Luo Junshou. ”

He said, "The Luo family is going to be unlucky." ”

Meng Boshen, the son of the Marquis of Wu'an, wanted to compete with his brother-in-law and his brother-in-law, who was favored and supported by his father, not just talking. First of all, you have to have money, otherwise why should you attract people? If you don't have manpower, will you bow down to everything? In that case, maybe when the son is not dead today, he himself will die of exhaustion...... Besides, he may not be able to do everything himself.

And the Meng family's biggest money bag is the Gao family, Gao Heyi and his wife for the hatred of their son, even if they will continue to provide financial support to the entire Meng family, this kind of thing given to a family, Meng Boshen still has two uncles and fathers, and what they can share is limited.

What's more, maybe the Gao family will also use their business advantages to attack the industry of his lineage.

With limited money, where can Meng Boshen fight with his younger brother? Therefore, it is imperative to open up.

And King Gaomi has been fighting with the Meng clan for more than 30 years, how can he not understand the importance of the money bag?

The financial routes that the whole country can intervene in have basically been carved up.

Those who have not been touched, such as Nanfeng County, where the emperor is far away, not everyone can come to make money.

Otherwise, there will be a sea bandit attacking the city every minute, or civil unrest, or something like that...... I didn't get the money, but I asked my political enemies to grab a bunch of tricks, but it was funny.

The Luo family, who is in the same Jiangnan as the Gao family and has not produced any powerful high-ranking officials in recent years, is almost a tailor-made target for Meng Boshen.

Gongsun Shu speculated that Meng Boshen was eighty percent likely...... No, maybe he was already targeting the Luo family at this time.

But he was still a little worried: "Are you sure that the Luo family will definitely choose us, what if they also join the Meng family?"

Rong Sleeping Crane shook his head and said, "Impossible." There is already a Gao family on the Meng family's side, and Gao Jiyi also married Miss Meng Wu, the daughter of Wu'anhou. And Miss Meng Wu's sisters of the same generation, at this time, they are either full of children and grandchildren or have already left the cabinet, or they are waiting to marry far away to a place where they can't return to their hometown in this life. ”

"So if the Luo family also takes refuge in the Meng family, not to mention that they will lose to the Gao family in succession, even if they marry a girl from the Meng family to get closer, they will be lower than Gao Youyi!

"On the side of King Gaomi, his wealth comes from the legacy of the first emperor, not a specific relative or subordinate, and there is a lack of a similar role. ”

Gongsun Shu licked his lips, not without regret: "Can you think of a way to not let the Luo family take refuge in King Gaomi, but to us?"

If Rong Sleeping Crane had a good relationship with King Gaomi, he would think so in his heart at most, and he wouldn't say it.

But at this time, although he was not told that the pirates he met on the way back were sent by King Gaomi, he also saw that Rong Sleeping Crane had no good impression of King Gaomi, and the relationship between father and son was only afraid of tension, so Gongsun Shu also said his thoughts, "King Gaomi also has a son under his knees, after the Luo family takes refuge, what are the benefits, first of all, the prince will enjoy it, and then it will be our turn...... This is the Jiangnan Wang clan, a real money bag! If I see it missed, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep in the future!"

This is not an exaggeration at all, they are pirates, they burn, kill and loot on weekdays, and they still scrape the ground, if he wants to watch such a large amount of unimaginable money from the Jiangnan Wang clan be lost like this, and fall into the hands of King Gaomi, at most he will rub some soup here, can he not feel distressed and toss and turn and stay awake all night? !
