All the children of the Xiao family retreated, and only Xiao Yu and Fang Jun were left in the hall.

Fang Jun was suspicious in his heart, what kind of important thing did Xiao Yu need to avoid even his own children?

I saw Xiao Yu sitting on a chair, his upper body leaning slightly to Fang Jun's side, looking at Fang Jun's eyes, and asking, "Erlang has a plan to develop Dongting?" ”

Fang Jun was slightly stunned......

I didn't talk about this to others, but I talked to Li Chengqian yesterday, and the only person present at that time was Xiao Shu'er, but Xiao Shu'er didn't mention it when she returned home today, so how did Xiao Yu know?

It must have leaked out from Li Chengqian.

The development of the two lakes area is a century-old project, which has not necessarily been able to be completed after several generations, and as long as the plan is proposed, it will be known to the whole world. It's just that Li Chengqian's side is full of omissions like a sieve, and yesterday's words reached Xiao Yu's ears today, which shows that there are countless eyeliners of all parties and factions in the East Palace.

When chaos is born, words are ordered. If the king is not secret, he will lose his minister, if he is not secret, he will lose his body, and if he is not secret, he will be harmed. It is a gentleman's prudence and not out.

As a prince, if you can't be cautious in your words and deeds, won't you ask for trouble?

It is no wonder that Li Chengqian played a good deck of cards in history, and in the end, the storage position was not guaranteed, and he was suppressed by His Majesty Li Er without waiting for action to rebel......

Fang Jun was a little worried.

The prince is a gentleman with a benevolent personality, almost unguarded, and he pours out his heart and lungs to everyone, saying that it sounds good is simple, and if it is ugly, it is naïve.

This kind of character is sometimes a strength, but it makes the courtier do his best to assist without worrying about his unloading and killing the donkey, but sometimes it will also become a fatal weakness, not to mention that he himself is in danger, and it will also affect those close to him......

In the future, you should persuade each other.

This matter is just one of his ideas, if you want to achieve it, you need all parties to work together, and the imperial court must vigorously promote it, and there is still a possibility of success with the strength of the whole country, so there is no need to hide it, so he bowed his head and said: "It's just a certain plan, and the specific rules have not been perfected, so I haven't admonished Your Majesty, but I don't know where Song Guogong knows?" ”

Xiao Yu snorted, did not mention the source of the news, and said with a warm look in his eyes: "The Xiao family is a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River, which has been in the south of the Yangtze River for hundreds of years, with deep roots and lush leaves, and is very famous. It's not that the old man is arrogant, the land south of the Yangtze River is adjacent to Dongting, the local bureaucrats, Han people, people, officials, and even the Shui Kou mountain bandits, the Xiao family can all speak, and they also have some influence, if this matter is finally approved by His Majesty and the ruling of the political affairs hall, it is determined that the trip will be completed, and the Xiao family will fully support Erlang. ”

Fang Junqi said: "Not to mention that this matter is just a pavilion in the water at the moment, and there is no shadow at all, even if it is confirmed, I am afraid that it will not be the turn of someone to be responsible, right?" There are countless capable officials in the court, and a certain young man has weak morality and shallow qualifications, so I am afraid that he will disappoint Song Guogong. ”

What kind of joke, even if this matter is decided now, how can the emperor let the family gate valve get in? At present, it is an established national policy to weaken the family gate valve, although it is relatively mild, but it will definitely not allow the newly opened virgin land of the imperial court to become a paradise for the family gate valve to stake profits and seize profits.

The results developed by the power of the whole country were then stolen by the Maison?

Dream on......

Xiao Yu stroked his beard, smiled, and said meaningfully: "I'm afraid that Erlang thinks in his heart at this moment that even if Dongting is developed, don't think about getting involved in the family gate valve, right?" ”

Fang Jun was silent for a moment, and said, "That's right." ”

The national policy is there, who can shake the determination of His Majesty Li Er?

Nowadays, the policy of boiling frogs in warm water can be regarded as mild, with the fierce and domineering spirit of His Majesty Li Er, if the family gate valves really dare to unite to launch a boycott, do they really think that they dare not kill a bloody pestle and a corpse? In history, His Majesty Li Er didn't kill much, it seems that he is far from being able to squeeze the fierceness of Ming Taizu, in fact, it is just that His Majesty Li Er has full confidence in controlling the arrogant soldiers and fierce generals who fight with him under his command, and he doesn't need to kill to get a tyrannical reputation for himself, once he feels that the court situation is not under his control, the family gate lords are even in danger of overthrowing the imperial power together, you see if he will do more decisive and bloody than Ming Taizu!

dared to kill his brother and siblings and force his father to abdicate, where is there anything he dare not do in this world?

Moreover, with the degree of control of His Majesty Li Erwei over the Sixteen Guards, the military power is absolutely in his hands, and once he initiates madness, the consequences are simply unimaginable......

Fang Jun didn't think that these family lords who had lasted for hundreds or even hundreds of years couldn't see His Majesty Li Er's personality clearly. The selfishness of these gate valve families is comparable to that of the emperor, as long as they perceive the danger, let them kneel and call their father, and endure the humiliation is a fart!

They will never openly oppose the imperial power, but will only engage in conspiracy and trickery in secret, either depose the emperor and set up a new emperor, or support the rebellion and change the dynasty, or simply collude with foreign people to wash the Central Plains and smash everything in one go......

is a matter of interest, and it is expected that the family gate valve has such a little bottom line.

Regarding Fang Jun's answer, Xiao Yu was a little unimpressed, patted the armrest of the chair, and said softly: "What kind of project is the development of Dongting?" There is no involvement of the Saga gate valve...... It is impossible to succeed, and the policy of weakening the family is more important than that, Your Majesty can tell the difference, let's wait and see. ”

Fang Jun was silent, noncommittal.

It is true that in this era, the family gate lords control the vast majority of social resources, and even the emperor has to grovel to them and dare not take drastic measures to eliminate them, but it does not mean that the world will not turn away from them.

"Let's go, the banquet is ready, let's take a seat, Erlang will definitely not get drunk today!"

Xiao Yu didn't say anything more, got up and invited Fang Jun with a smile.

"It's better to be respectful than to obey."

Fang Jun also responded with a smile.

The two of them got up, walked out of the main hall, and walked into the flower hall on one side.

The banquet has really been prepared, and three tables of banquets have been held, not only the children of the Xiao family are all present, but there are also many in-laws of the Xiao family, obviously the Xiao family attaches great importance to Fang Jun, the new aunt, and the whole family actually went into battle and was warmly entertained.

Fang Jun has a good amount of wine, but he can't really eat and drink openly on such occasions, and when he is slightly drunk, he will not drink the glass, and whoever advises him to drink will only smile, but he will no longer stain a drop of wine.

The banquet dispersed, Fang Jun took Xiao Shu'er to say goodbye and left, and with the return gift from the Xiao family, he loaded several carts, and the ceremony was thoughtful.

After Fang Jun left, Xiao Yu sat in the side hall, drinking hot tea to relieve his hangover.

Although he is the head of the family and has a seniority title there, no one dares to persuade him to drink, but in the end, he is old, and he is a little drunk after only a few glasses of shallow drinking.

While drinking tea, he called Xiao Rui over and asked about Xiao Siye's situation in front of the previous mansion.

Xiao Rui said worriedly: "Hei Ye has been in the frontier for a long time, in the end, he lacks some rules, and his heart is also a little arrogant, if he stays in Chang'an, over time, he will have a conflict with Fang Jun." At present, the focus of my family is to show favor to His Majesty through Fang Jun, and for this reason, it has been criticized by the Jiangnan Shi clan, and there are many dissatisfied. If you offend Fang Jun and have a dislike, then you are really not a person inside and out. ”

Xiao Yu frowned, pondered for a long time, and asked, "In your opinion, how to deal with it?" ”

Xiao Rui had already planned, and immediately said: "If you still let Heiye go to Dingxiang, his temperament is too rebellious, lacks tactfulness, and it is difficult to gain a foothold in the court, not only can he not help the family, but he will offend people." My family has always lacked military power, none of the children have appeal in the army, although the official position of the heir is also a civilian official, but in the end there are tens of thousands of Turkic people attached to it, and it is also a force to be reckoned with, and it is a force to be reckoned with inside and outside the family, civil and military want to make peace, echo each other, and have many benefits. ”

He was really annoyed by Xiao Siye.

Seven disobedience and eight disobedience all day long, slamming the air all day long, who do you think you are?

This kind of unruly guy should be left on the frontier to make a good living and polish his temperament, instead of staying in Chang'an to cause trouble at home.

Xiao Yu rubbed his swollen temples and sighed: "If you know that Yi Nan's two sons, Bazhuo and Jielibi, have been quite restless recently, it stands to reason that winter is the time when the grassland is stable, but Bazhuo and Jielibi have frequently gathered troops, and Dingxiang has been reporting to Beijing urgently for several days, asking the imperial court to send reinforcements in case of emergency." His Majesty had already sent Ashnasimo to Dingxiang to dominate the attached Eastern Turkic tribes and defend against a possible war. At this time, let Heiye go to Dingxiang, and if he can't say it, he will be involved in the war, because his father has always had a dislike for Ashina Simo, and if he doesn't do it, he will be seized by that barbarian, and he will harm Heiye......"
