Chapter 304: The Pillar of the Nation

Xing Tianze was slightly puzzled when he heard this, today he went to Corporal Situ Lixian to recruit Situ Feng under his command, but let him negotiate with Situ Lei instead of going straight to the point?

After signaling Xing Tianze without a trace and not being impetuous, he slowly explained that the current head of the Situ family is Situ Lei, not Situ Feng.

For Situ Lei, almost all the officials in the capital know him very well, although this old man has not been concerned about political affairs for many years now, his status in the hearts of all officials is even higher than Dong En, who is also a veteran of several dynasties.

This old man has only been an official for fifteen years, and when he was young, he once led 60,000 soldiers and horses to break the 340,000 army of the Cangguo Kingdom in the north, which was known as the blossoming double ring at that time with the Yin family's 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the 200,000 army of the Fuyang Kingdom in the west.

Then Situ Lei abandoned Wen and lurked in the south from Wu to deal with the floods, and then recommended many talents to the emperor who had just ascended the throne and became emperor.

After ten years as an official, Situ Lei resigned from the official and stayed at home, who would have thought that three years later, the emperor would personally go to Situ's mansion to let him out of the mountain, and then he served as a lieutenant for five years.

In addition, Situ Lei and Dong En have taught too many civil officials together in these years, so his prestige in the imperial court is extremely high, and it is not an exaggeration to be called the pillar of the country.

However, today Situ Lei is the head of the Situ family, and if Xing Tianze wants to take people away from their house, he must need the old man's nod and agree.

Moreover, Wuxian is just a staff member in the palace, and Xing Tianze, as the prince, is qualified to talk to Situ Lei.

As for Situ Feng, he doesn't need to think too much about his identity, although he is the grandson of Situ Lei, but now he is just a commoner without an official or position.

But he was deeply loved by Situ Lei, and he dared to conclude that Situ Feng would definitely become the head of the Situ family in time.

The Situ family has a very high prestige among the scholars of the Xingzhao Kingdom, and only needs to get Situ Feng, Xing Tianze undoubtedly has the support of the entire scholar clan, of course, as far as the current situation is concerned, this is all a later story.

Soon the two came to Situ's mansion, and under the guidance of the subordinates, Xing Tianze and Wuxian came to the chair in the hall and sat down, and the two of them drank the tea sent by the two maids without hurrying.

About a quarter of an hour passed, and an old man slowly walked out from behind the screen, and sat down directly on the first place without saluting the two pedestrians.

"Today, the old man got up and saw a crow flying from the south, flying around the sun's study three times and flying to the east, at that time, the old man thought that there must be a distinguished guest in the house today, but he didn't know that it was the prince and the traceless son who came, and it was really rude not to come forward to greet him." Situ Lei, who was dressed in cloth, said straight to the point.

"In the eyes of Mr. Situ, both of us are your juniors, how can there be any reason to let the elders go out to greet them, you don't blame us for coming to bother us is already magnanimous." Xing Tianze replied with a smile.

looked at Situ Lei quietly without a trace, and from his words, it was already clear that the old man had understood their intentions, without any humility towards Xing Tianze's status as the prince, let alone too many greetings, and bluntly talked about Situ Feng.

"Mr. Situ, I heard that Ling Sun was a young hero, and before he was seven years old, he had already memorized the poems backwards, and I didn't want to ask Ling Sun to teach me some truths." Traceless and respectfully told what he meant.

Situ Lei nodded lightly, and did not refuse directly, but directly asked Wuxian to go to the study, saying that Situ Feng was studying in the room at this time.

After leaving without a trace, there was silence in the front hall, Situ Lei looked at Xing Tianze quietly, although he hadn't walked out of the mansion for a long time, but the game between the five princes and the emperor, as well as the various changes in the capital during this time, could not escape his eyes.

Not only did he know in great detail, but Situ Lei, who had grown old and refined, saw a hidden dragon posture from Xing Tianze's body.

But it has been a long time since the Situ family has been an official in the court, and the current turbulence is not the time for Situ Feng to come out of the mountain at all.

"Mr. Situ, there is something I want to ask for advice below, and I would like to ask you for advice." Xing Tianze said very politely.

It's not that he is so humble and polite when he asks for something today, but in front of Situ Lei, the old man, Xing Tianze doesn't have any capital to see his identity at all.

Whether it is Situ Lei's exploits when he was young, or the influence and benefits of the Situ family on the Heng Xingzhao Kingdom, Xing Tianze must treat him with courtesy.

"The prince wants to say that the Qing Cangguo is cultivating the plank road in Black Rock City, but it is actually a matter of secretly Chen Cang in Stone City, right?" Situ Lei's words broke through the worry in Xing Tianze's heart.

"The old gentleman clearly decided, the heart of the tiger and wolf of the Qingcang Kingdom has always been a huge threat to our country, and now that Yuwen Xingkong has fallen, Murong Yu and Nangong Yuan are in command of the three armies, and the soldiers of the Qingcang Kingdom are strong and strong, and they are afraid that the war will start again." Xing Tianze was not the slightest surprised.

Even the situation that he and Wuji could guess, Situ Lei had no reason to guess.

Situ Lei closed his eyes and nodded gently, he has always been very optimistic about Xing Tianze, whether it is the fifth prince's own talent or meritocracy, as well as his own tenacious character, coupled with the assistance of resourcefulness and demons, he will definitely make a great cause in the future.

"Does the fifth prince want to take advantage of the war between Fuyang Kingdom and Qingcang Kingdom, and lead all the soldiers and horses to sneak attack the interior of Qingcang Kingdom?" Situ Lei took a deep look at Xing Tianze.

It's not that he is resourceful, because the people who can accurately think of this point are not more than three people in the entire capital, including the people of the world who are still in the clouds and fog about the intentions of the people of the world to use troops in the Qingcang Kingdom.

"What the old man is puzzled about is that the prince didn't think of a point, once the flames of war are rekindled, whether it is our country or Qingcang country, there are Li people who fall into a hot life, haven't you thought about the innocent people in the world?" Situ Lei's face was a little gloomy and he asked.

"Please don't be surprised, old gentleman, dare to say a few more words, and ask if there are really innocent people in this world?" Xing Tianze's tone was very sonorous, and he asked a rhetorical question.

Situ Lei did not answer, but fell into deep thought.

At the same time, Traceless had just pushed open the door of Situ's study, and a black shadow quickly emanated from the room, but fortunately, his reaction was extremely fast, and he stretched out the palm of his right hand to take it down, and it was an ordinary teacup.

Then a man holding a bamboo slip slowly stood up on the chair: "Ben Gongzi hates being disturbed when he is studying, so please wait in the front hall first, and come to you after I finish reading this book." ”

"The son's method of reading is very admirable, but how can a husband born between heaven and earth be bound by a mere bamboo slip?" Leaving without a trace, he walked into the study and placed the cup on the table.
