"My lord, please rest assured," Li Guozhu sat up from the bed and said confidently: "My father's set of etiquette and morality has long been outdated, not to mention me, those old shopkeepers who worked together back then can't stand it, Xu Xinsu in Xiamen, Su Minggang in Batavia, and Zhang Jingquan in Nagasaki have all promised that as long as I can take over the fleet, they will definitely serve me like my father and be at my disposal at any time." ”

"Serve Lingzun to serve you like that? Is it hard to guarantee that you will not be ousted from power like betraying Ling Zun in the future? Xiubao sneered, "Childe's loyalty is unquestionable, but please don't rush it so as not to be taken advantage of by others." ”

"Your Majesty is not in a hurry, now that my father's shopkeepers have all acquiesced to my actions, now is a good time." Li Guozhi looked at Xiubao in surprise.

"Childe is still too young." Xiubao said with a sympathetic expression, "Huang Kang from Gulangyu, Ouyang Huayu and Ouyang Yuntai brothers from Nagasaki, and Yan Siqi, Ling Zun's assistant, have these people also sworn allegiance to you?" ”

"Not really, I didn't actually go to them." Li Guozhu said calmly, "These people are considered juniors compared to Xu Xinsu and others, just like Zhang Jingquan said, these people have a shallow foundation, and they can't set off any storms at all, there is no need to win their support, it is enough to have the recognition of these old shopkeepers." ”

"Is it Zhang Jingquan who won't let you go to them?"

"Exactly," Li Guozhu nodded, and told Hideho without concealment: "He also said that if he told these descendants, they would definitely use this as an opportunity to ask their father for credit, and then it would be a failure." ”

"That's right," Hideho affirmed his thoughts even more in his heart, "If that's the case, Childe won't be able to do it now." ”

"Why?" Li Guozhu thought that he would get Xiubao's support, but now he can't help but complain, he is much more obedient than Li Dan, but why didn't Xiubao agree?

"The reason is very simple," Xiubao said solemnly: "This is a trap set by Zhang Jingquan and others. ”

"How is that possible?!" Li Guozhu couldn't help but shout: "They are the shopkeepers of one party, how can they lie to me?" ”

"It's because they are on one side that they dare to encourage you to attack Ling Zun." Hidebo explained, "As far as I know, these old shopkeepers and local forces have long been intertwined, and they have long had the intention of breaking away from the fleet and setting up their own doors, but whether it is Franco, Hongyi or the Japanese, they are only willing to trust Ling Zun, the name 'Li Dan' is a golden signboard, which is incomparable to those old shopkeepers, so they dare not leave Ling Zun, and now that Gongzi has moved this thought, they are too late to be happy, how can they oppose it." ”

"But what does this have to do with Ouyang Huayu?" Li Guozhu still doesn't understand the mystery.

"Do you really think Ling Zun doesn't know anything about all this?" Xiubao sighed: "Whether it is Huang Kang, Ouyang Brother or Yan Siqi, they are all newcomers recently promoted by Ling Zun, the intention is obvious, use Huang Kang to monitor Xu Xinsu, Ouyang Huayu to monitor Zhang Jingquan, Ouyang Yuntai to monitor Su Minggang, and the command of the whole team is in the hands of Ling Zun himself and Yan Siqi." ”

"No wonder my father was reluctant to hand over the fleet to me, he would have already begun to defend me." Li Guozhu suddenly realized.

"That's right, this is also the reason why Zhang Jingquan didn't let you win them over, he was afraid that once you found them, they would tell the truth, and then he would not want to be their pawn." Xiubao replied, "Presumably Ling Zun already knew that you would be used by Zhang Jingquan, but he didn't want to expose the matter and hurt the feelings of father and son, so he had no choice but to hand over the fleet to Yan Siqi, I wanted to cut off your thoughts with this, but I didn't expect..."

As soon as Xiubao finished speaking, he saw Li Guozhu constantly hitting the wall with his head, and there were words in his mouth: "I'm an unfilial son, I'm not a thing, I'm an unfilial son, I'm not a thing..."

Presumably worried about his son's condition, Li Dan broke into the inner room despite Gao Hu's obstruction, and when he saw the scene in front of him, Li Dan was startled at first, and then calmed down, walked to the bed and hugged Li Guozhu in his arms, and looked at Xiubao gratefully: "Your Highness, you..."

"Brother Li, I have made things clear to the young son, the son is simple in nature, easy to be used by traitors, there is an old saying: 'The prodigal son does not change his money when he turns back', now he knows that he can change his mistakes, it can be regarded as Brother Li's blessing, please forgive him for a moment of confusion." With that, Hideho got up and walked to the door.

"Lord!" Li Dan knelt on the ground with a "plop", bowed down and cried: "Your kindness to the reinvention of the dog, the minister will never forget, I have had a lot of confrontation with you before, and please ignore the villain, forgive the rude recklessness of the minister, from now on, you are the lord of my father and son, no matter when and where, my Li family will be loyal to you and swear allegiance to the death!" ”

When Xiubao heard this, he hurriedly helped Li Dan up, and said excitedly: "With your words, Xiubao will be content, and now that the son is unwell, you can accompany him more here." ”

As soon as the door was closed, Gao Hu and Qingxing surrounded him and complained: "Lord, that was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity just now, once Li Guozhu comes to power, he will definitely obey you, in this way, the entire fleet is yours, and the minister really can't figure out why you want to stop him." ”

"The reason is very simple," Xiubao said after leaving the door of the inner room and coming to the middle of the garden, "As I said just now, Li Guozhu can't fight Li Dan at all, even if I secretly help control the fleet, he can't control those old shopkeepers, so that the foundation that Li Dan has worked so hard to build will definitely be torn apart, and the income of the fleet will be greatly reduced, Li Dan doesn't want to see this happen, and I don't want to see it too." ”

"Although Li Dan is a little stubborn, but compared to those cunning shopkeepers are easy to control, and Li Dan's foundation is in Nagasaki, it is easier to control, and the foundation of those shopkeepers is distributed overseas, I am simply beyond the reach of the whip, rather than find a person who does not know the details at all to take over the fleet, it is better to let this old stubborn continue to work for himself, and I believe that after today's incident, he will be grateful to me, although I don't expect him to abandon the national integrity, but the vigilance against me will be greatly reduced, It's enough to be able to do this. Hideho was right, it was this bet that added some necessary odds to his future career.
