Cheap Dad continued: "Since ancient times, the emperor has been a kind of Xiangning. Anyone who follows our Lan family to fight the country. Our Lan family will never treat anyone badly. will not do the ugly thing of unloading the mill and killing the donkey like their Zhu family. Wealth and danger are sought. Your family and I have all been placed in a safe place. Everyone can do things with confidence. It's just that we can't do anything. You don't have to worry about the safety of your family."

Cheap dad may be saying tired. Picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. Lan Guangyong, who was sitting in the front, said, "Master, please rest assured. We were born to be members of the Lan family. Death is the ghost of the Lan family. Even if you die, you won't betray the Lan family. Our children and grandchildren are also willing to follow the Lan family and follow the master."

This is what Lan Guang used to express determination on their behalf. This orchid is not simple to use. Look at the cheap dad so reused him to know. He should be the number two person in the Lan family besides the cheap dad. This guy wasn't very enthusiastic about me though. Could it be that he saw something? Just when I'm cranky just. Cheap dad asked me, "Jer, what are you thinking. You also say a few words. Today is the first time you have met with you. In the past, you were young and lacked experience. Being a father doesn't involve you in the affairs of the family. It's ok now. You're already on your own. In the palace for more than a year. You've matured a lot too. In the future, I will learn more from the two Commanders and the Eight Dharma Protectors."

"The child obeys his father's commandment; Never disappoint your father's expectations. Continue the Lan family's business."

"That's good. You can tell us a few words."

I cleared my throat. I began my first inaugural speech: "You are all my seniors. has made great contributions to my Lan family. Yun Jie would like to thank all the seniors."

I stood up. Bow down and give a salute to those powerful figures of the Lan family. They all stood up and saluted, "The young master is serious. It's our business. It was the Lan family who gave us everything. We will always be the servants of the Lan family."

"Now the Ming Dynasty is decaying. It's like a big tree. It's glamorous on the outside. In fact, it has withered inside. Now there is not a single tael of silver in the treasury. There is even more competition between several cabinet ministers. Struggle for power. This is a good time for us to grow and grow. Take advantage of the fact that the court can't take care of anything else. We can massively develop our forces. It doesn't matter if it's a civilian or a military attaché. Just use it for me. We can accept it. But we also have to pay attention. We can't let such opportunistic people come in and ruin our big things. I don't have much more to say. You are all my seniors. Let's talk to my father."

Cheap Dad looked at me approvingly and said, "Did you all hear what the young master said? Prudence is not not not developing. Development should be cautious. Everyone knows the current situation of the imperial court. If it's really something at the border. I didn't even have any money to send out my troops. Lan Yong, how is the contact between you and the Tartars in the north? Be tight. As long as they move. Naturally, all the imperial army was transferred to the border passes. The capital is empty. It's the best time for us to get up. If the north side doesn't move, we can't move. And Langley. You also have to have a good relationship with Miao Wang. Strive to get moving. In this way, the imperial court wants to put down the rebellion. It is necessary to mobilize the army of the Central Plains. Then the Central Plains was empty. Until then. We rise to the top. It's definitely a hit. Great things can be done. Big things can be decided. You just wait for the marquis to pay respects."

A word from a cheap dad. These Dharma protectors are all excited. They all stood up and took a stand. Only Lan Guangyong, the commander of the capital, did not speak. Cheap dad didn't say anything when he saw him. He asked, "Commander Lan, do you have any different opinions?"

Lan Guang stood up and arched his hand and said, "Master Qi. I don't think we're too optimistic yet. Saying goes. Emaciated camels are bigger than horses. The Ming Dynasty still has strength. The current cabinet doesn't look at the fighting. But it's all talent. Let's just say the high arch. Don't look narrow-minded. But there is still talent. And that Zhang Juzheng is also a talent. Understands everything. There is also Feng Bao in the palace. There is a famous anti-Japanese general Qi Jiguang at the border. So I think it's still low-key. I don't know what the master is doing."

Everyone's enthusiasm that I just mentioned. Said by this old fox. Extinguished when landing. My friend's father said with a displeased face: "What you said also makes sense. But let's not say that we don't have the strength. Wait. Wait. How many years have you been waiting. Are we still waiting? Time is not waiting for me. Loss will not come again. It's the key to grow and grow. Overseas Protector France Shuang. You have to recruit the Woko as quickly as possible. Those who can contain pirates can also surrender. As for the conditions, it can be generous. Don't be stingy with money and official positions." I didn't expect that. This cheap dad in order to fight the country. It's also to contact the alien race and win over the Japanese invaders. I don't even want a little bit of national integrity. These aliens and widows are so hard to send. Looks like I'm going to talk to him. Try not to use those aliens for your own ends.

That Lan Guang used to see the cheap dad was not very happy. And he didn't speak again. Cheap Dad asked the rest of the Dharma Protectors about their current situation in turn. Finally, I told everyone to go back early and prepare. For the sake of secrecy, he will not meet them one by one.

I followed my cheap dad and left the house with everyone's congratulations. They won't come with us. Maybe they'll stay at Lan Guangyong's house tonight. Because I went out in the middle of the night. On the way, if you encounter a soldier and a brocade guard on the night patrol, you must be taken into custody first. Even if it's cheap, dad can bail them out. It's not as good as leaving tomorrow.

As for the two of us, we still returned to the house in Yuma Lane through the secret passage. Arrived at the study. Cheap Dad sat down and said to me, "You also saw the power of our Lan family tonight. Tell me what you think."

"Father. The child thinks. We should co-opt and corrupt a part of the civilian bureaucracy. Mess up the court first. Only military attachés are still not allowed. Readers should also pull some over. There are also children who think we can't ask for help from aliens and pirates. We can also lay the foundation on our own. These aliens don't know what benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith are. If you covet the prosperity of our Central Plains. What to do if you don't go. And they are not our Han Chinese. When they come in, they will surely slaughter our people. When the time comes, we won't even be able to manage it. I hope that the father will consider the child's suggestion. Stop contact with the other. I don't know what my father thinks."

Cheap Dad pondered for a while before he spoke: "I'm afraid it's too late for this. We've already spent quite a bit of money on them. Millions of taels of silver have been spent on them. It would be a shame to give up now. As for whether they will enter the customs or not, it is not yet certain. It depends. You can also just let them send troops to contain it. No need to come in. As for King Miao's side. Their conditions are relatively simple. Just provide them with food and some weapons. After the Japanese were scattered by Qi Jiguang. I asked Lan Shuang to gather the stragglers everywhere. It can't be atmospheric. When the time comes, it's just a matter of harassing the southeast coast. Kill them all when you're done with them. It's a curse to keep it."

"Since my father has already planned it. Then the boy was relieved. It's just that. We don't seem to have much power in the capital. Do you want the children to come forward and win over some people?"

Actually, I know that Cheap Dad didn't tell me all the power of the Lan family. Last time he said that there were still people in the palace. I didn't see anyone in the palace this time. That's why I'm saying this to show him the truth. Let's see how powerful the Lan family really is. How much force can I borrow.

"The affairs in the capital are in my own hands. You're still young. I also don't want them to know that you are the young master of my Lan family. Those people were brought in with money. Or we have the handle in our hands. That's when they took refuge in us. It's not like tonight, they are all old people who have been with me for several generations of the Lan family. The forces in the capital. You don't care about it for the time being. Just let me know if you have something. And Feng Bao didn't send anyone to Baiyun Temple for a while. I don't know what is in the Baiyun Temple, which made Feng Bao go again and again. I've sent someone in to inquire."

"Father, you dealt with the few people who went to Baiyun Temple last time. Don't leave the aftermath behind."

"I know this. It's all been dealt with a long time ago. And also. I heard Wei Yunzhong say. Miss Wei's parents will be here in a few days. You're getting married. I don't know what you're going to do."

"Father. Master Wei told me that day. I haven't had a chance to ask my father yet. I guess it's better to get married. I am now an official from Sanpin. If only there was no family. It's going to make them think I'm a hairy lad. Once I have a family, I'll be considered a family. It doesn't give people the impression of immaturity. Father, you said that I will not marry this marriage."

"It's good to get married. You're now a Tobe squire. He is also a high-ranking official of the imperial court. It's time to start a family. It's been a bit of a delay for the past few years. I never promised you to get married. And this marriage should be full of momentum. You used to be a nobody. No one knows about you. Now is the time to take this opportunity to let everyone know about you. That Zhang Ju must be invited. And the emperor, you have to pretend to mention it unintentionally. You saved the emperor twice in a row. If only he had meant it. That would be impersonal. If only he gave a decree or sent something. Then there will be face. If you think about it, even the emperor sent something. Will others not send it?"

"We're not lacking that stuff. It's to let them see your current power. Let that high arch not dare to underestimate you. Let him have concerns. You're safe. I'll come over on your wedding day. Those who are officials in my Lan family. I'll also ask them to pull people over. But only if you let the emperor know that you are going to get married. And I want him to send some gifts."

"Father. Can the emperor give me a gift? I'm afraid I can't."

"I know you have a good relationship with that Chen Jiu. You can ask Chen Jiu to knock on the side. Tell the emperor that you are his savior. How do you get married, you have to show it. This will soon be over."
