Chapter 251: Persuasion
Eternal prosperity?
How is it possible, even the emperor is difficult to do, but Liu Qin's words still stabbed the weakness in An Guogong's heart all of a sudden, although the prosperity and decline of everything in the world is reasonable, but no one wants the decline to start from their own hands.

Therefore, Liu Qin's words sounded a bit like sarcasm, causing An Guogong to snort unhappily, "Could it be that Xiao Boy has the ability to restore the glory of my country's mansion?" ”
"The kid naturally doesn't have such skills, but someone does, and whether the Guogong Mansion can regain its glory is only in the mind of the Guogongpa."
"Hmph, boy, don't play dumb riddles to the old man, you are not only a lobbyist for Liu Jing, but the old man also said ugly things in front, although my country's government is no longer what it used to be, but it is not just anyone who can call and drink, his Cao family wants to press me, and he is not qualified enough."
"Grandpa Guo misunderstood, the kid is not here for the fifth prince."
"Not? Could it be three ......"
Liu Qin shook his head and stretched out his thumb.
"Is that him?"
Liu Qin nodded, "Uncle Son's character, Grandpa Guo should know that if it weren't for the unforgettable friendship between teachers and students, and the kindness of the old days could not be repaid, how could he wade into this muddy water, let alone work hard for those two families." The boy was sent by his uncle to come to the imperial capital to help him succeed, and today he took the risk to tell the truth, and he also respected the grandfather of the country, and was willing to be honest with the grandfather. ”
After speaking, he looked at An Guogong with straight eyes, trying to make himself look particularly frank and credible.
No way, this old fox is not someone who trusts others easily.
An Guogong looked at it for a long time, and finally smiled: "Boy, it's a little interesting." ”
The expression on Lin Dongyang's face, who was sitting under him, became more serious, and he asked with a little hesitation: "The virtuous nephew is not afraid of our ......"
"Don't be afraid." Liu Qin smiled confidently, "First, the kid can trust the grandfather and the prince, and I believe that the two are not the kind of people who sell their friends and seek glory; Second, if you sell us, what good will it do to the Guogong Mansion? The reason why Grandpa Guo delayed making a choice was because Grandpa Guo understood that no matter under the Third Prince or the Fifth Prince, there would be no good fruit to eat. ”
said this, if you talk about today's events, you will nail the Anguo Mansion to the pillar of shame of betraying friends and seeking glory, An Guogong's face twitched, and he took over the topic, "How can you see it?" ”
"The Anguo Mansion has fallen into such a situation, and the Grandpa Guo will definitely not forget whose credit it is." Liu Qin saw the change in mood from An Guogong's face as he wished, "The current emperor has seen the crux of the problem, and he also intends to restrain it, so he can still maintain a relative balance now, but if the third prince succeeds to the throne, I am afraid that the entire government will fall into the hands of the Jin family, and the Jin family will be even more unscrupulous. ”
After taking a sip of tea, he slowed down and continued: "As for the five princes, at present, it will be difficult to succeed, and even if it is successful, the Cao family's appearance is only more ugly than that of the Jin family, and I believe that Grandpa Guo does not want to be humiliated under such people." ”
"Snort, Liu Jing can't make it, I think Liu Sheng's situation is worse than him, there is no hope, why should the kid talk about it here?" An Guogong sneered, with a disapproving expression.
"Success depends on both destiny and man-made, and before it reaches the end, how can it be concluded that there is no hope. The enemy is clear and I am dark, is my advantage, and the two tigers fight, there will be casualties, we only need to wait for the time when both are lost, and then come to reap the benefits of the fisherman, at that time, the opponent is weakened, we are growing, who will die the deer, it is still unknown. Grandpa Guo thinks that the kid is right? ”
A strange brilliance flashed in An Guogong's eyes, but he immediately squinted in disguise, stroked his beard and smiled: "The kid is eloquent." ”
Liu Qin also smiled: "The kid is not a fake trick that just talks and doesn't practice, the defeat of the Fang family has a credit to the kid." ”
Hearing Liu Qin's words, An Guogong and Lin Dongyang glanced at each other, and Lin Dongyang muttered: "No wonder, I said at the beginning how could the Cao family have such a plan, it turned out to be the strategy of the virtuous nephew, and the virtuous nephew is really a master." ”
Lin Dongyang is sincere admiration, not to mention that the battle of the Fang family was fought beautifully, which led to the Jin family's counterattack, the Jin Cao family was bound to take off their previous disguises and fight to the death, but the initiator watched the battle lightly on the side, adding firewood and fire when necessary, and playing the two families between the palms.
If Liu Qin knew that Lin Dongyang spoke so highly of her, she had to be humble and justify, cough cough, I don't have that much courage to dare to play with the two heavyweights in the palm of my hand, at most I just play the side ball and pick up the leaks.
An Guogong also sighed: "It's a good lose-lose situation, and take advantage of the fisherman." ”
But no, unconsciously, the Jin family lost a right-hand Fang family, and the Cao family lost even more, and the criminal department in their control was uprooted overnight.
"Is the grandfather of the country willing to become one of the fishermen?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"Criminal Department, vacating such an important seat, Grandpa Guo won't tell the kid that he's not interested."
"Oh? You've come in such a big circle, that's what you're here for. ”
"Grandpa Guo is really as wise as a torch, and the kid's careful thinking has been seen through at a glance."
"You kid, don't make a fuss here, the old man doesn't eat this." Having said that, An Guogong smiled so much that he couldn't see his eyes, and he was very proud.
"Yes, yes, what kind of character is Grandpa Guo, how can a little fart be moved."
When he said this, even Lin Dongyang, who was not smiling, laughed.
After laughing, An Guocheng said: "Say it, Xiao boy, we don't have to go around the bend, let's just say it." ”
"Grandpa Xie Guo." Liu Qin also straightened his face, stood up and made a gesture, "The kid is here, on behalf of the eldest prince, I hope that the Guogong Mansion can advance and retreat with us." Although the eldest prince has no help from his uncle's family and the Yue family, it seems to be a disadvantage now, but it is an advantage after the success, because there is no foreign relatives to hinder, the eldest prince must rely on your help to show his talents, and this is an opportunity for the Guogong Mansion to make a comeback. ”
If An Guogong was not moved, it would be impossible, but he didn't agree, but he didn't refuse, "Let the old man think about it." ”
The matter is big, and Liu Qin didn't expect An Guogong to agree, so he immediately replied: "Okay, Grandpa Guo can think about it." No matter what choice Grandpa Guo makes, the eldest prince will propose to let the prince take the post of secretary of the Criminal Department, hoping that Grandpa Guo will agree. ”
What does this mean, do you want to forcibly tie them together? An Guogong had a hesitant expression on his face.
"Grandpa Guo misunderstood, the kid didn't want to forcibly tie the Guogong Mansion to the side of the eldest prince, but he didn't want this position to fall into the hands of the Jin family and the Cao family, and besides, the talent of the prince was enough to be competent, even if there was no recommendation from us, that position would not belong to the prince, we were just icing on the cake."
Liu Qin said this beautifully, not only complimenting the other party, but also deliberately weakening the credit of his own side, so that An Guogong accepted it without pressure, how could An Guogong not know.
The temptation of power is always difficult to refuse, not to mention that there is a chance to make a comeback, even if he knows that it is a trap, An Guogong admits it. (To be continued.) )
