Chapter 80: The Seizure of Power
"Eh, it's really hard to say if we can eat together, the main time is not in a hurry, it depends on whether Ming'er has a lot of business, alas, these days are really busy, big brother forgive me." Song Wei said with a smile, with apologies in his tone.
Song Gengchao on the other end of the phone was not surprised, and said regretfully:
"Originally, I wanted to talk about some matters in the future of the first fortress, if it is inconvenient for the sixth child, then let's change the day, this is without you, and everyone else is here. Alas, as a family, it is better to get together more. ”
Hongmen banquet, of course, is the party that sets the banquet to master the rhythm. In the land of your own home, the layout is convenient, and you can also get a glimpse of what others want to prepare in advance. Song Wei didn't want to lose this initiative.
But when he heard Song Gengchao's words, he asked again:
"Yo, big brother, this is a lot of invitations? Who else is coming from the family? ”
"They are all here, but most of them are also for your face, saying that they want to invite you to come, and they came, so if you don't come, I will let the other brothers go back." Alas, let's change the time. Song Gengchao sighed.
"It's not good, so big brother, don't be in a hurry to call people back, I'll try my best to push the business tomorrow and give you an answer in the morning?" Song Wei said.
"That's okay, come as far as you can, give me a letter early, I'll let people open up." Song Gengchao's tone always carried a slight regret, like two brothers chatting at home.
Then Song Wei and Song Gengchao exchanged a few words of greeting, and then hung up the phone.
There is no food in this banquet in the pyramid, the main thing is to drink, and it is quick to prepare. So Song Gengchao didn't seem to hear Song Wei's other meanings.
At least that's what Song Wei thought.
Song Zhuo said: "Dad, this Song Gengchao took the initiative to invite you, what is the charter?" ”
Song Wei shook his head, he was scheming, and he couldn't think of Song Gengchao's operation after thinking about it. Just after thinking about it, he said:
"He met Lin Jie, Qin Qian and the others of the Song Dynasty today, and called me that night, don't go to bed too early tonight, ask our eyes in the Song Mansion, after Song Gengchao returns, how is it different from the past, and his trial knight on the seventh layer can be transferred."
Song Zhuo frowned and said, "He still dares to hold our Hongmen banquet?" ”
"It's hard to say." Song Wei said in a deep voice.
Song Zhuo smiled: "Dad, you are too rated." Song Gengchao is old, he just misses the old, and now he wants to see Song Quan's old department, which is understandable. Song Que he can't see it, after all, there is no place for Song Que in this world, if I were Song Que, I wouldn't dare to go back to the first fortress, so Song Gengchao thought about it, and he could only see the old department, so he saw people thinking about the old, so he wanted to get together, and when he was old, he became sentimental. ”
When Song Wei heard this, although he didn't nod his head in agreement, he also believed it in his heart, and Song Gengchao's tone was indeed full of nostalgia.
Not long after, the spies gave the news that Song Gengchao only brought a few people into the study, and not long after those people entered, they were arranged by Song Gengchao into the guest room.
Song Gengchao, as usual, was only in the study and went out very late.
During the entire Song Mansion, there were only some subordinates, and the garrison did increase some, about 20 people, just guarding the periphery of the courtyard to prevent anyone from entering.
But the garrison of the level of the Judge Knight was not mobilized.
After getting this information, Song Zhuo and Song Wei, the father and son, began to sum up again.
I am sure that Song Gengchao is probably really just having a meal. called Song Gengchao again and agreed to agree.
At the same time, he has also been paying close attention to the Song Gengchao.
"If nothing else, the ring will be yours tomorrow." After hanging up the phone, Song Wei's face could be described as proud.
After so many years of forbearance, it was worth it to be able to take the first fortress.
Song Wei nodded, and also thought that it was nine out of ten.
No matter what the current combat strength and financial strength of the Song Geng Dynasty is, no matter how the situation in the world fluctuates, but without the ring, you can't become a lord.
Open a new level, some special building permissions for the Pyramid Fortress, plus some information about the ring itself.
These are also what Song Wei's father and son are afraid of.
They had been preparing for a long time and had created such a big public opinion in order to take the ring bloodlessly.
……
……
The next day, the Song Mansion ushered in a long-lost liveliness.
Most of the residents in the sixth layer are high-level people in the system, and even if they are members of the Song family, they are also people who have close business contacts and close relations with the Song family.
A few months after Song Que left, it was the first time they had seen the Song family so lively.
Although Song Gengchao repeatedly stated that he did not bring gifts, he just had a normal dinner, and some people in the family got together to contact each other. But the families still brought gifts.
This gift is also very particular.
The second family and the Song Gengchao family are the most incompatible, after all, the two brothers Song Qinwen and Song Qinwu are really straw bales, and the little affection on their faces has been lost by the two brothers.
It's just a little surprising why Song Zhuo didn't hold this banquet at his home.
The gift of the second family is also very strange, and Song has a delicate pocket watch, which is quite collectible.
But this gift at this point means a little mocking.
The third family has not been standing in line very much, and they know that Song Gengchao has good cigarettes, so they sent a lot of cigarettes. But he didn't say much, there was no male in his family, it was said that he was an infatuated species, and after his wife died, he took his daughter to live together, and he did not look for a marriage.
But the third person, except for the top power, that is, the position of the fortress lord, fights for everything, so the third child should be the most low-key, but it doesn't look very low-key.
The fourth child was originally a popular candidate for the lord, and the gift he gave was wine, which was also extremely ordinary, but the children of the fourth family were still too young, only eleven years old, and it was impossible to be a lord.
The fifth child is also indisputable, but this is all indisputable on the surface, because the fifth child controls a lot of the Song family's business resources, and these businesses are now beginning to cooperate with the Song Wei family.
And this time, Lao Wu is the most "sincere" one, he - did not bring gifts. He took his unsuccessful son Song Ankang and went straight into the Song Mansion.
Song Ankang is not a straw bag, not a genius, but his business is clear, and he is quite good in terms of knowledge, or knowledge in all aspects. But it's not good to be talented, and it's really unreasonable to be a lord with three talents.
So when I learned that the sixth child had been dormant for many years and had raised a talented son, he immediately defected.
The sixth child, that is, Song Wei, gave the most and the most tangible gifts-a group of trial knights.
In the name of giving gifts, the trial knight was brought to the Song Mansion, which in the eyes of others, it was a bit like Cao Cao's sacrifice of the sword.
When Song Gengchao looked at the hundred or so trial knights outside the Song Mansion, his face was expressionless, and he just said lightly:
"The sixth is a big hand."
"Big brother laughed, after all, this management fortress relies on the barrel of a gun, I'll send you some guns, your position, sit more stable, isn't it?"
"Hehe, I'm already old, this world will be the world of young people in the future, I think it's good to be clumsy, Zangfeng has been a blockbuster for ten years."
"Alas, the dog can't do it, I've been pressed too hard all these years, and I'm not used to looking up."
"That's just the right time to go to a high position."
"Heh, borrow the words of the eldest brother."
After some temptation, Song Zhuo and Song Wei were very satisfied.
The feast in the pyramid, whether it is a family feast or a state feast, is to drink wine and eat some expensive fruits. After all, nutritious meals replace all staple foods and dishes.
Although he came to seize power today, the seats at the wine table were still in accordance with the previous rules, and there was a difference between the old and the young. There was only one exception, that is, Song Zhuo, who was supposed to be at another table, that is, in the junior table, sat in the elder table. There were eight people at one table, and only seven of them were not crowded.
The position of the Song Gengchao, in today's terms, is still the C position.
After a few pleasantries, everyone began to eat and drink.
Eating and eating, we first chatted about the topic of "appetizer".
For example, what is the business of whom, and which fortress has ordered a large number of trial knights.
Something has happened to Li Wanye, the owner of the Ark Fortress.
Or the second daughter of the old family, when will she get married, the atmosphere is joyful, it looks like a family reunion and chatter, and the family and the country are talked about one by one, and it is not embarrassing.
Until Song Wei said:
"Big brother has been feeling unwell lately?"
As soon as this sentence came out, the whole banquet was quiet for a few seconds.
Then Song Gengchao said: "It's okay. I've been a little tired lately, and I'm getting old, so it's time to retire. ”
Song Wei smiled and said:
"Where is the eldest brother, this body is still strong. And you're going to retreat, and none of our brothers can stand up to it. ”
Lao Wu immediately said:
"The sixth brother's words are inappropriate, inappropriate. The eldest brother is a few years older than us, the eldest brother has retired, this fortress lord, even if we do it, it won't be able to do it for a few years, isn't the London fortress replaced with a lord about thirty years old? Let's go back and give the young people some opportunities as soon as possible, big brother, what do you say? ”
Song Wei didn't speak, and the second child snorted coldly, not to speak to Song Gengchao, but to understand the meaning of the fifth child, and felt that the fifth child was a dog for the sixth child, and he looked down on it.
The third and fourth did not express their position.
Song Gengchao laughed, changed his twilight, and looked bold and hearty:
"That's the truth, I also figured it out, this ring has been worn for a long time, and I have no hand. It's also time to give it to the juniors, our Song family, all surnamed Song, I won't hide it from you, this lord's position, those who can know that as long as it is the Song family, dedicated to the good of the Song family, even if it is not the heir of my Song Gengchao, I can give this lord's position. I just don't know, which one is suitable? ”
Song Zhuo and Song Wei glanced at each other, feeling that this game was a little too smooth, but they expected that the Song Mansion had been surrounded by more than 100 of their own trial knights, and today's change was the general trend, and Song Gengchao estimated that he was aware of the situation.
Song Gengchao also said:
"The situation is stronger than people, I'm old, look at the outsiders outside shouting, they all tell me to abdicate, but everyone, who will take me after I retire? Who has the talent? I'm going to give you some thought? ”
"Big brother, let's talk about it, I also want to hear what big brother means." Song Wei said with a smile.
"My nephew also wants to listen to my uncle's teachings." Song Zhuo said.
Song Gengchao smiled and said:
"Then I'll rely on the old and sell the old, and say something heart-wrenching? Don't mind, if you can listen to it, maybe today, my ring will be handed over. ”
After Song Que's reputation fell to the bottom, soon Konstantin handed over the matter of the ring to Li Wanye to announce in order to prevent the fortress lord from becoming dominant, and at the same time, the right to use the trial knight was refined.
The power of the Fort Lords is still dominant, at least for ninety percent of the Fort, but not for Fort Lincoln.
The Knights of Judgment even became the product of some private organizations.
The First Fortress is an exception.
It's just that no matter what, the ring can open a higher level, and there are many things that can be done, and only by controlling the ring can you get the complete lord authority, and you can mobilize all the resources of the fortress. Therefore, the ring must be passed.
This is also the reason why Song Wei and Song Zhuo are always polite on the surface.
Song Gengchao knew his thoughts, if he didn't have all the things of yesterday, he would probably have a banquet at Song Wei's house today, not at his own home.
He paused, and then said:
"My two daughters, after all, are women, and they will marry in the future, and they are not talented, so they can do some family business, but they are not qualified for the position of lord. As for the second family...... Diligent and diligent martial arts talent is still acceptable......"
Everyone was not surprised to hear that Song Gengchao directly skipped Song Que, after all, the family is ugly, and the people in this room are not outsiders, but they all know it, so no one mentions this stubble without interest.
It's just that the second child's face is very bad. Because of Song Gengchao's comments, they are quite harsh:
"There are two straw bales, the second brother is negligent in discipline, these two brothers can be said to be neither fanciful nor useful, even if it is a family business, they cannot be handed over to important positions, let alone the position of lord."
Song Qinwen at the other table slapped the table angrily, but Song Zhuo stared at it, and the two brothers quieted down.
As for the second child of the Song family, he blew his beard angrily and stared, but he had nothing to say, but if Song Qinwen and Song Qinwu were a little virtuous, he would not be so passive.
"We don't have anything to say about the third child, the third child is an infatuated lover, but love, just forget it, after the younger brother and sister are gone, you will have to take care of it personally in the future, your family can't break the incense, or you have to find someone to live with, if you are not filial, you don't want to go down, you don't want to face your father, right?"
"Big brother, you're really! Why do you mention me, I know in my own heart, I don't fight about this Laoshzi fortress or something, but no matter which of you becomes the lord, I will have to help with my daughter's business in the future. After the third child finished speaking, he took a sip of wine. Now he also knows that the first fortress is probably about to change hands.
But the infatuated lover always misses the old, so he still doesn't offend the eldest brother and doesn't stand in line with the sixth brother.
Song Wei said: "That's nature. ”
"Tsk, there are people here, who haven't become lords, why do they say the same as lords." The second man squeezed.
Song Wei didn't speak, just smiled.
Song Gengchao cleared his throat and continued:
"As for the fourth family, the child is still young and can't be a lord, but when he grows up in the future, no matter what, he is also a great talent to assist the lord, and this kid likes it. The fourth child has to be cultivated well, don't raise wild, but don't raise too docile. ”
"Big brother is right." The fourth child responded so simply, and stopped talking.
"Old Five...... Ankang is a good seedling, good in all aspects, but to be honest, he is mediocre in all aspects, and his talent is a little lower. But in the future, the family's business can take care of the big head. ”
"Hehehe......" Lao Wu smiled, didn't speak, and actually didn't care in his heart.
Finally arrived at the sixth child, and at this time, Song Gengchao slowly looked at Song Zhuo, who was supposed to be sitting at the junior table.
"I used to look away, I thought that your child was more sluggish than Ankang, but now I found out that your child is really good."
"Hehe, the eldest brother praises him, don't praise him, young people can't stand praise." Song Wei said.
Song Gengchao shook his head and said:
"I have endured for so many years, I haven't been praised much, I have to praise it well, it's not easy for my Song family to give birth to a talented child, and it's even more difficult to be suppressed for more than 20 years."
Song Weixi smiled, he had already guessed what was going to be next.
"Especially in the next few decades, he will have to be suppressed, if he is not boastful today, no one will praise him in the future."
"What the eldest brother said is that my son has to ...... Wait, what do you say? What do you mean? ”
