"What does my father mean by poison? Isn't this medicine an ordinary Chinese herbal medicine? ”

Ling Yugui didn't understand what Ling Xiang meant,

"See for yourself!"

Ling Xiang flicked his sleeves and didn't look over.

He walked over and leaned over to pick up the little sign from the ground, patted away the herbs that stuck to it, and read:

"Broken bone paper, pulsatilla...... And, horsetails. ”

After reading it according to Ling Xiang's words, he was still very unsure, so he didn't know what mystery was hidden inside.

"It's a strange name for a medicine, not only have I never seen it or even heard of it, can it really cure the disease?"

Ling Yugui has courage and no strategy,

Seeing these natures confused,

But the thoughtful Ling Xiang couldn't understand it anymore the moment he saw it:

"Isn't this satirizing that the original appearance is a pulsatilla like a scrap of broken paper, old and incompetent, and he actually degrades his appearance as a 'thief'." Ling Xiang blew his beard angrily and glared, and slapped it heavily on the table. "How could the old man have been so angry, it's just too much of a deception!"

"The emperor's kid dared to do this to his father, his wings were really hard, if it wasn't for his father's assistance when he took the heir, he was afraid that his life would be buried in the hands of the first prince now, how could he do that throne!"

After Ling Yugui understood,

With a strong hand, he broke the wooden sign and threw it on the ground.

"Do you think the emperor did all this, although he is not on good terms with his own face, he is also fighting in the shadows, and he has never been so open. can come up with such an idea, naturally it is the girl of the Bai family. ”

Facts have proved that Bai Jingyin has figured out Ling Xiang's routine, and Ling Xiang can't see through Bai Jingyin.

By sending medicine to curse people,

Only that perverse concubine can do it.

"Then the emperor also acquiesced." After thinking about it in his heart, Ling Yugui sat down on the edge of the bed again, and said in a low voice: "Father, son, think about it carefully, is this emperor now too close to the Bai family in the past, in the past, everything was discussed with his father, since he got Concubine Jing, even if he was pushed to do it against his father, I see that we have lost too much, and if it goes on like this, we can't help but guard against it." ”

"You've finally seen the point."

For his unresponsive son, Ling Xiang has a sense of hatred for iron and steel. He stroked his beard and frowned:

"A success or failure is nothing, but as you said: internally, the emperor is particularly fond of Bai Jingyin's obedience; Externally, let Bai Yi temporarily stay in the imperial capital and return to the uncertain date, and increase his 80,000 soldiers and horses, and there is also a righteous son Shao Jingyi who is in a high position. These three people together, Mo said that they are competing with us, and there is a faint tendency to surpass, which makes Benxiang have to worry. ”

"You want to go past us?!"

Saying this, Ling Yugui immediately couldn't sit still, and pulled Ling Xiang's sleeve:

"How can this be done, father, you quickly think of a way, how can you suppress them, or...... Or how to strengthen yourself? ”

"Be quiet, isn't your father thinking!"

Ling Xiang shook off his hand and reproached.

"It's just that now the power of the emperor and the Bai family is not what it used to be, and if you want to suppress it, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult." This time he suffered a heavy blow, even if Ling Xiang was unwilling, he would not dare to act rashly again, I am afraid that the matter of the Bai family will come to an end, for today's plan, the most important thing is to stabilize his own strength.

But it's easier said than done,

But it is also full of dangers and obstacles.

"Counting it up, the people we have installed in the various departments of the DPRK have been transferred or uprooted by the emperor for various reasons, and there are not many people who can be used. What's more, now, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty already know that the prime minister has missed the front hoof this time, and the emperor's momentum is increasing day by day, and it is not bad not to defect, who will use it for us at this time. ”

As soon as these words came out, people didn't feel bitter,

Ling Yugui clenched his fist and smashed it into his palm.

"Once upon a time, those people broke through the threshold and wanted to join their father, and the dog-like wagging tail flattery was not worth a second glance from the father, and now-"

When he said this, he choked up, and it was difficult to speak.

"Perhaps, there is another person who we didn't care about before but can try our best to encircle now."

When Ling Yugui was almost desperate, Ling Xiang's words brought hope back like a long drought.

"Who is my father talking about?"

"Prince Rong."

Ling Xiang stroked his beard and slowly spit out the name.

"Is it really okay?" Ling Yugui, who was originally expecting, couldn't help but be a little discouraged after hearing that it was Prince Rong, "Dongli's side originally reached a cooperation with Father He, but this time we separated Prince Rong from the emperor himself, and he didn't tell the secret, so Prince Rong's scheming may not be able to see through our schemes." ”

"If you can think of this layer, you have grown a little."

Ling Xiang bowed his head, his face was slightly relieved,

"You also said that it was a secret but did not tell it, the mountains and rivers are far away, and Prince Rong may not know all about this matter. It's a mutual use, it's allies and enemies, and it's only decided according to the situation, which is also tacit. What's more......" Ling Xiang paused, "If Gui'er marries the county lord of Anping, then we and Prince Rong are in-laws, what a precious only daughter Prince Rong is, he will inevitably become an iron wing like the Ministry of Industry back then." ”

"So the father still wants the son to find a way to ask the emperor to marry the county lord as an equal wife?"

There was a faint excitement and excitement in Ling Yugui's tone,

"We have to rely on Prince Rong's power in Dongli, then the county lord of Anping is the most important bargaining chip, and the identity of Ping's wife is too aggrieved."

"Father means—"

His eyes rolled, but he suddenly hesitated:

"But didn't my father just say it, along the way, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu is your most powerful and loyal partner, which has helped the Ling family a lot, and is also my father's old subordinate. An's is also obedient and virtuous to take care of the general's mansion for his son, how many years have been like a day, if he divorces his wife for no reason, he is afraid that it will attract criticism, and he doesn't know how to explain it to Xin'er. ”

But in Ling Xiang's heart, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu has assisted him all the way to his current position, but the remaining value is far from satisfying his ever-expanding ambitions.

"Even if you don't have to hide the bow, but Gui'er is proficient in eighteen martial arts, you should know that an old bow that is used is definitely not as lethal as a new bow." Squinting his eyes, there was a light of calculation in his eyes, "It's just because the relationship between the Ministry of Industry and us is too close and we know too much, but we can't tear our faces rashly. ”

Ling Yu listened to Ling Xiang go around, only to feel that he had finally returned to the original position,

Secretly slandered,

Isn't it the same as not saying this, and the choice between the two is still very difficult.
