Anguo Mansion, Anguo Gong Li Huaiyuan and Shouning Hou Li Huizhi sat opposite each other, looking at each other, with disbelief in their eyes, the information that had just come from Dingzhou shocked them, and their first reaction was whether they were mistaken. The sweat stains on Li Huizhi's face, who came in a hurry, had not yet dried.

"Father, if this is true, it will inevitably cause great turmoil in the court, and we must prepare for it in advance." The way of Li retreat.

Li Huaiyuan stood up silently, paced back and forth in the study for a few steps, and suddenly laughed loudly, bluffing Li to retreat, "Hahaha, good, good, Li Qing, Mu Zhisheng's good son, great, within two years, he will win Dingzhou for my Li family, wonderful, retreat, what is there to prepare, do you have to spit out what you eat?" Don't think about it, the Xiao family doesn't want to get any compensation from me, Xiao Yuanshan was defeated in the battle with Li Qing, what do they have to say? ”

Li Huizhi's face also flashed with excitement, all along, the Li family's biggest worry was that although Yizhou was rich, it was four

The place of war, although the army is strong, but there are strong enemies around, once something happens, it may be precarious at any time, and now there is Dingzhou as a foreign aid echo, it is very different, anyone who wants to move the wing state must first think about Dingzhou's strong force that is enough to resist the grassland barbarians.

"But father, there's one thing that worries me a lot." Li Huizhi thought for a while and said.

Li Huaiyuan sat down, picked up the teacup, and pointed to the chair casually, "Well, sit down and say." ”

"Yes, Father!" Li Huizhi sat down, "Last year, I followed my father's instructions and assigned the Dingzhou Shadow to Li Qing, but all along, the Dingzhou Shadow has been outside Li Qing's core system, and Li Qing has set up a new stove and set up an intelligence department called the Statistical Survey Department. ”

Li Huaiyuan thought thoughtfully, "Are you saying that Li Qing still has no sense of belonging to my Li family, so he is wary of the shadow, and would rather start from scratch than use the ready-made shadow intelligence system." ”

"Father Mingjian, Li Qing has been bullied at home since he was a child, although he is called a noble son, but in fact he is not even a slave, and his mother is in a worse situation, which made him run away from home in anger when he was fifteen years old. Although it seems that his departure has opened another path for my Li family, maybe he also has hatred for the Li family, and it is difficult to say whether he can do things for my Li family wholeheartedly? ”

Li Huaiyuan slowly sipped the tea, his head lines were deeply squeezed together, obviously listening to Li Huizhi's words, "What you said is true, this is indeed a problem, well, by the way, how is Li Qing's mother now?" Do you have any concerns? ”

"The third brother was not at home, the son quietly inquired, when the third brother left, he divided a separate yard for Li Qing's mother and assigned a few servants, but after the third brother left, the younger brother and daughter-in-law her, she ......."

Li Huaiyuan raised his head and glanced at Li Hui, "How is it?" ”

"The third brother and daughter-in-law made an excuse and took the yard back again, and..." seemed to be a little difficult to get up, but when she saw Li Huaiyuan's eyes, she couldn't help but open her mouth and say it in one go, "I punished her to the Huan Washroom again, and she was responsible for washing the toilet in the Quanhou Mansion." ”

With a bang, Li Huaiyuan slammed the tea bowl in his hand to the ground, and the fine blue and white porcelain was only afraid of no less than 100 gold, and this time it immediately turned into pieces, "Bastard!" ”

Li Huizhi wiped the sweat on his face, and said: "Father is angry, Li Qing's mother has always been a maid, and my brother-in-law and daughter-in-law do this, so I don't want to say anything." Besides, her father Lan Tinghou only has this one daughter, and he is extremely protective, so I don't dare to say more! ”

Li Huaiyuan let out a long breath, "Useless thing!" "I don't know if I'm scolding Li Huizhi or the third Li Muzhi." Go, you go to the third mansion and tell the third daughter-in-law, just say that it is my meaning, from now on, by the way, what is the name of Li Qing's mother? ”

"It's called Huan'er, I don't know what the big name is, but it used to be called Huan'er!"

"Okay, okay, I don't care what it's called, you go and tell the third daughter-in-law, from today on, Huan'er is the side room of the third child, and you should be provided with treatment, and you must not be lazy, otherwise, hum!" Li Huaiyuan snorted heavily.

Li Huizhi knew the old man's temper, and nodded again and again, "Yes, I'll do it right away!" ”

Li Huaiyuan sighed, "Second brother, in the second generation of my Li family, you and the boss can hold up a piece of the sky, I'm not behind, you are at least good at the beginning, but people have no long-term concerns, there must be near-term worries, we have to think about the long term for the Li family, what about you?" Who can support the Li family? The wealthy family is very glamorous to say, but if you think about it, how many wealthy families can prosper forever, like us, once they are defeated, it will be the end of the nine clans and disappearing, think about the Huo family and the Lei family back then, when they were in power, the power leaned towards the government and the opposition, and we were much stronger than now, but where are they now? There are clouds among the people, and the wealth is not more than three generations, which is really a good saying, if we don't think about the successor well, then our family will decline. Retreat, you must understand that in our position, the first thing to consider is the rise and fall of the family, for the sake of the family, even if I want to die, I will not hesitate to do it, rather than considering the problem in my own interests. If you don't exist, where is the small family? Under the nest, how many eggs are gone? ”

In the end, Li Huaiyuan was already full of voice.

Li Huizhi was sweating, and at the same time he was also happy in his heart, the old man was telling him that the succession of the family would be considered between him and the boss, and then, it was obviously Li Qing.

"Retreat and understand."

Li Huaiyuan waved his hand a little tiredly, "You go, think about my words." ”

In the palace, the Emperor of the Apocalypse held the good news that had just arrived and Xiao Yuanshan's resignation, and he couldn't believe it. Shoufu Chen Xiyan sat down below, looking excited.

"Shousuke, do you dare to believe that this is true?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse shook his head.

Chen Xiyan said with a smile: "The chapters are all in the hands of the emperor, of course it's true." ”

"Tell me, how did this Li Qing do it?"

"Your Majesty, after reading Dingzhou's recital, the minister has some understanding and thoughts on this matter, some of which are speculations, Your Majesty can ask Li Qing in detail in the future." Chen Xiyan said.

"Well, tell me!"

"This time, the planning of the Battle of Dingzhou wrote that Xiao Yuanshan was exhausted, and even fell ill because of it, but in Yichen's opinion, all this came from Li Qing's hand, on the one hand, he designed a roll for Wanyan Bulu, and on the other hand, he dug a pit for Xiao Yuanshan, killing two birds with one stone, which is really clever."

"I just can't figure it out, Xiao Yuanshan is not a three-year-old child, why did he jump off defenselessly?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse shook his head.

"This is also the question I want to figure out, Your Majesty, has the staff department figured out how many soldiers Li Qing had before the war?"

"He is a battalion general, more than 3,000 people at most, what is the Shoufu asking for?"

"Impossible!" Chen Xiyan shook his head, "If there is only this one person, then how many more people are there after resisting for a few days in the face of the 60,000 army that has been exhausted?" How can you deal with Xiao Yuanshan again? ”

When the Emperor of the Apocalypse heard this, he immediately said to the left and right: "Go, immediately summon the commander of the Fang Division, Yuan Fang." ”

Soon Yuan Fang arrived, and Tianqi asked, "Yuan Fang, how much do you know about the affairs of Dingzhou?" ”

Yuan Fang kowtowed and said: "Back to Your Majesty, after the news of Dingzhou was returned, the minister immediately asked his subordinates to collect as much relevant information as possible about Li Qing in Dingzhou, which has now been compiled into a book, please read it by Your Majesty!" He held a booklet in both hands and offered it.

Taking the thick booklet, Tianqi flipped through it slightly, and said in surprise: "Shoufu, you are right, before Li Qing sent troops to Fuyuan, there were more than 10,000 available soldiers. ”

"No wonder, no wonder Wanyan Bulu and Xiao Yuanshan fell into him one after another and thought they had a plan, but how did he support so many soldiers in the poor land of Chongxian, could it be that the Li family gave him so much support? Li Huaiyuan is willing to spend the capital, and he is not afraid that once he loses, he will be empty. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse, who was still flipping backwards, shook his head, his face becoming more and more solemn, "Shoufu, you look at the series of livelihood policies implemented by Li Qing in Chongxian!" ”

Chen Xiyan took the case file a little strangely, only flipped through a few pages, and the look of shock on his face spread, "Military merit awarding system, compulsory military service system, land per mu tax system, commercial tax law?" Your Majesty, this Li Qing, this Li Qing is talented! ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse had a complicated expression on his face, "Shoufu, this Li Qing, what do you think now?" ”

"The capable minister who rules the world, the ...... of the troubled times" Speaking of this, Chen Xiyan stopped abruptly.

"Then handing Dingzhou into his hands, wouldn't it make the Li family like a tiger?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse was a little unwilling.

"Your Majesty!" Chen Xiyan can understand the pain of the emperor very well, as the supreme ruler of a country in name, but in fact, the power in his hands is pitiful, those wealthy families control the government, and the agreement is vigorously promoted.

"Although the Li family is powerful, it will not mess with the court, and it is just to earn some benefits for himself, Dingzhou is actually in the hands of Li Qing, and the court is just going through the motions to give him a reasonable and legal procedure, are we going to Dingzhou to another person at this time? I'm afraid that as soon as this person enters Dingzhou, he will become a corpse. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse's face was extremely ugly, although he knew that what Chen Xiyan said was the truth, he still felt harsh. What's more, Chen Xiyan said something in his words just now, the Li family will not mess with the Chaogang, so who will mess with the Chaogang?

"Your Majesty, this time Li Qing snatched food from the tiger's mouth, and took Dingzhou from the hands of the Xiao Fang family, not to mention that Fang Wenshan was also sent to prison, with the evidence sent by Li Qing, it would be good if this Fang Wenshan could save his life, don't think about basing himself in the court again, these three families are settled, this is good news for Your Majesty!" Chen Xiyan said with a smile.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded, "That's right, I can profit from it." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. If you are not afraid of the courtiers fighting, you are afraid that the courtiers will form a group, and the more fierce the fight they have, the more they need the support of His Majesty. Your Majesty will be able to gain more benefits. ”

"What about Li Qing?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse hesitated for a moment, "This son is young, he has such a city plan, and he can even implement these unbelievable strategies, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to fall in the future?" ”

Chen Xiyan hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, after learning the news of Li Qing's Dingzhou, the minister thought hard and meditated, but he also had some calculations, and asked His Majesty to make a holy judgment." ”

"Tell me about it!"

"Li Qing ran away with hatred when he was young, and his mother is still suffering in the Weiyuan Waiting Mansion, for the Li family, I am afraid that he will not have a good impression and any loyalty, if Your Majesty can make him loyal, then Your Majesty..."

The Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled, quite ridiculous Chen Xiyan's ridiculous words, "No matter what, Li Qing is always the blood of the Li family, and blood is thicker than water, this will not change no matter what, if you want him to abandon Li and protect the emperor, I am afraid that it is impossible at all." ”

Chen Xiyan also knew that the policy he said was a bit absurd, the people in the world, the concept of clan is extremely heavy, on the contrary, the concept of the country is much weaker, but he has repeatedly considered, thinking that this is the only feasible strategy in the unfeasible, Li Qing is an unborn talent, if he can help, the imperial power can be expected to rise sharply in the near future.

"Your Majesty, Li Qingnian is only twenty years old, and he has not yet married, why doesn't Your Majesty take the princess of Allure?" Chen Xiyan said cautiously, a slight cold sweat already broke out on his head.

"What?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse was really angry, "The princess of Allure is extremely talented, the pearl of the royal family, and my favorite little sister, you actually want to marry him to a boy born to a girl, even if this kid is the son of Wei Yuanhou!" Chen Xiyan, are you crazy? ”

Chen Xiyan fell to his knees with a snort and shouted: "Your Majesty, it is precisely because Princess Allure is smart and talented, and she is deeply favored by Your Majesty, that I have this suggestion, only Her Royal Highness Princess Allure can Li Qing see that His Majesty values her!" ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse closed his eyes, he knew that Chen Xiyan was loyal to the country, and even more loyal to himself, but he felt humiliated, the royal family had fallen to the point that it was up to women to save it?

"Let's discuss this matter again, Li Qing hasn't seen it yet, I don't know if it's a tiger or a cat, a dragon or a snake, let's talk about it after I see it!" The Emperor of the Apocalypse said coldly and walked away.

Yuan Fang, who was on the side, was sweating profusely, and when he saw the emperor leaving, he hurriedly stepped forward to help Chen Xiyan, "Shoufu, you are really too bold, knowing that Your Majesty loves Her Royal Highness the princess of Allure so much, you still dare to say this." ”

Chen Xiyan showed a smile on his face, and the emperor did not refuse, that is, he was moved.

"Commander Yuan, from today onwards, you must muster up a hundred and twenty thousand points of spirit to collect all the things related to Li Qing, and also, you might as well create some small friction between him and the Li family, can you do it?"

Yuan Fang laughed hehehehe: "Shoufu, I didn't expect that a person like you would also play these little tricks now, don't worry, isn't this what our staff division does?" ”
