Under the light, Xiao Changan put down the chess pieces in his hand, and was not too surprised to see his youngest son Xiao Qiwen coming in, but just stretched out his hand and pointed to the position of his hand: "Come in and sit!" ”

In the Xiao Mansion, although Xiao Changan was over eighty years old, absolutely no one dared to question his authority.

Even his two nephews, who had already made a state assassination or served as a scholar in Changjing, did not dare to have the slightest disrespect for the old man in front of him.

Even on weekdays, I don't dare to laugh with him, and most of the time I stand respectfully and listen to the teachings.

The only thing that is different is probably the outlier in this Xiao Mansion, that is, his granddaughter Xiao Liyue.

Xiao Changan seems to be particularly impressed by this great-granddaughter, perhaps because Xiao Liyue's birth date is exactly the same as his.

But Xiao Qiwen is not Xiao Liyue, although his father said so, he still bowed in a proper manner before he dared to sit down.

"You're here because of Ritsuki, right?"

Xiao Qiwen glanced at the old father, whose face was a little blurry under the light, and nodded: "My son is not talented, I don't know what my father means." ”

Xiao Changan raised his eyelids, glanced at the youngest son opposite, and suddenly laughed: "It's a bit forbearant to ask from Yue'er to now." ”

Xiao Qiwen didn't dare to answer this, but waited quietly for his father's explanation.

Picking up the pieces in the chess box again, Xiao Changan dropped one lightly and sighed: "Qiwen!" Look at our family, what is the fortune now? ”

Although he is almost sixty years old now, he has the official position he has now, although he relies on his family background, he still has some of his own ability, otherwise he would not be able to make a state assassination.

And he is also quite capable in Qingzhou political affairs, but Xiao Qiwen is still like a child in front of his father.

Facing such a question from his father, it was not much different from being asked about his homework when he was a child.

Seeing his youngest son like this, Xiao Changan felt a little unwashed, but when he thought that he only had two sons, the eldest son had already passed away, and now there was only this one left, and his heart inevitably softened.

Waving his hand, Xiao Changan said: "You are also a state assassin, what do you dare not say?" ”

Xiao Qiwen replied "yes" twice, and after thinking about it carefully, he said: "Father, you were born in the countryside, and you relied on your own efforts to become the prime minister step by step, and then with the efforts of your eldest brother, nephews and nieces, you slowly have today's family background.

Before and after a total of nearly a Jiazi, now, our family in Beijing has the reputation of 'two books', outside, although the son is not talented, but also licked the position of the history of thorns.

The harem lady is full of saints, and gave birth to four princes, and there are nearly 100 people in the clan who are officials in the court.

Now that the crown prince is weak, it is a good time for us to go further, although the children and grandchildren are dull, they dare not live up to their father's hard work in his life, and they will not let his father's hard work go to waste. ”

Xiao Changan listened to his youngest son's words, his face was not only not good-looking, but became more and more solemn, especially when he heard his son's last words.

Seeing his father's face, Xiao Qiwen didn't know what he said wrong, and immediately became a little cramped.

Xiao Changan let out a long sigh, his son was so timid in front of him, all because he had always been too strict.

Now that I think about it, I was strict with my mind and demanded them to be people, but in the end it still limited their horizons, and they could see things so short-sightedly.

"Qiwen, I just want to ask you, in the history of the East for nearly three hundred years, how many courtier factions have been as prosperous as our family?"

Xiao Qiwen has been familiar with the history of the Bible since he was a child, and he naturally knows the history of his country very well.

immediately thought about it carefully and said: "The mighty general in the Ming ancestor period, the Wen prime minister in the Wenyou period, and then there are ...... And then there's ...... Our family is up. ”

In the end, Xiao Qiwen's voice couldn't help but weaken.

Xiao Changan nodded: "Yes!" You remember it all clearly, so do you remember what happened to them in the end? ”

In an instant, Xiao Qiwen's face was completely bloodless, and when he mentioned the mighty general and Prime Minister Wen, he faintly felt it, and when he heard his father mention it, it was like a thunderclap in his head.

"When the moon is full, it will be lost, when the water is full, and the truth that if you climb high, you will fall heavy, everyone in the world understands," Xiao Changan sighed, "However, in this flower-like brocade, you may not be able to understand it."

If you think about it carefully, even if the prince has always been weak, he has never shown signs of real danger, even if the imperial doctor said that his body is weak, has His Majesty said that he would abolish the prince?

Moreover, the four princes were powerful after the court before, so weren't the three princes strong?

Later, your nephews and nieces were so powerful that they pulled the third prince off the horse, and then there was another big prince immediately.

I went to Xiqi to be a proton! Not to mention that they can come back alive, they still come back well, and they will be taken seriously as soon as they come back, what does this mean, you really don't understand it at all? ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Changan's tone was already a little harsh.

Xiao Qiwenden was so frightened that he fell to his knees: "Please teach my father." ”

Staring at the youngest son on the ground, Xiao Changan didn't speak for a while.

After a while, he waved his hand and said, "You get up." ”

After a while, seeing that his father's face was better, Xiao Qiwen stood up again, but he just bent down to listen, and didn't dare to sit on it again.

"Just looking at the previous dynasty, our Xiao family is very majestic, the household department is still in the book, and the secretary is in our family, but now that Luo Wang Mengqing has entered the Ministry of Officials, I heard that he has done a few practical things, and he is very happy.

If there was any accident in the household department's disaster relief this time, he Xiao Yan didn't know what kind of trouble he would encounter.

Other military departments, engineering departments, can you see the shadow of the Xiao family? ”

Xiao Qiwen didn't dare to speak, but secretly calculated in his heart, and the more he calculated, the more frightened he became.

But his father's words were not finished: "Looking at the harem again, now outsiders seem to be very powerful, and she can almost be regarded as covering the sky with one hand."

But do you understand, she is only an assistant to the Sixth Palace, and the queen's golden seal is still in the queen's hands!

The Zhou family does not have a position in the court, but if you think about it carefully, they are all important official positions, but they are not high.

If Queenstown is as useless as you think, the weak prince, the inconspicuous mother, can't your niece of the concubine still pull down and sit in the position of the queen?

Do you look back and think about what the queen has done all these years?

Which one did your niece dare to reach out and touch? In other words, this harem is simply the queen, she is too lazy to care, throw it to you and use that niece as a maid!

You're still here to be proud! ”

Xiao Qiwen stood on his legs for a short time, and fell to his knees with a thud: "Ask my father for guidance." ”

"Now you can understand why I promised Yue'er to Han Lingxi?"

Xiao Qiwen raised his head and looked at his father.

Xiao Changan sighed helplessly: "I don't know if it's too late now, it was because I was too addicted to official addiction at the beginning, so I would get the entire family business to the scale it is now, and it is not easy to stop!"

The Xiao family, it's time to withdraw, since Your Majesty attaches great importance to King Hao, then we should go according to Your Majesty's wishes, and also build momentum for King Hao. ”

Xiao Qiwen nodded, but he looked a little speechless.

"I know you're trying to say that big thing." Shaking his head, Xiao Changan said for a long time, "Don't talk about you, even me, I am reluctant to give up!"

If the four princes succeed to the throne, I will go underground to see the ancestors, and my face will be bright.

It's just that we want to let the four princes ascend to the throne, but it's not such a law, we have to let His Majesty let him go willingly, otherwise, if we go against the dragon scales and anger the Son of Heaven when the time comes, it's not something that our little Xiao family can afford.

The key is to show weakness, and even if you lose the book of the household department, it is not impossible. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Qiwen's eyes widened, what a loss it was for Hubu Shangshu! Say it's lost?

But how dare he refute his father's words?

Xiao Changan waved his hand and said, "Tomorrow, Changjing's letter should come, you warn them for me."

After all, it's you besides me, after all, it's their uncle, so don't bother me anymore. ”

Xiao Qiwen knew that his father meant to let him retreat, and he didn't dare to delay any longer, so he bowed and retired.

Xiao Changan stretched out his hand and picked up the cup of tea in front of him, took a sip, but frowned and shook his head: "Alas! The girl has grown up and is about to fly away, and this tea tastes different to others. In the future, this old mouth will have to get used to it slowly! ”

On the second day, Duanmuqing took the sweet potato to an ordinary carriage early in the morning and went to the disaster area.

There is also a shadow with her, this is what Han Lingyan requested, Han Yuyan should have gotten the news now, who knows what kind of means she will use.

He didn't dare to gamble anymore.

Before going out, Xiao Liyue walked out, hoping to go with her.

Duanmu Qing smiled: "This time, I'm going alone!" King Hao didn't go. ”

Although there was no banter in her expression, Xiao Liyue understood the meaning of her words, and her face suddenly turned red.

"I ...... I really wanted to see the victims and see if I could help. ”

"That'...... Let's go! Duanmu Qing didn't say anything anymore, beckoned, and got into the carriage first.
