Chapter 163: There is no successor
Chapter 163: There is no successor
Breakfast evolved into a discussion, it is rare to fight in a ghost place like Xiu Nanxing and still get along with his children, not to mention that there is a son-in-law who is in the limelight by his side, Lu Beiyan smiled and couldn't close his mouth, and the meal was delicious.
Lu Lingfeng's brothers and sisters are uncomfortable, guessing and guessing, how can they still be in the mood to eat.
From beginning to end, Lu Beiyan didn't say a word, and let the two brothers and sisters give full play to their imagination, just not to expose the mystery. Unconsciously, half an hour passed, Lu Beiyan stood up from the chair with a smile and explained, "You two continue to talk, we still have something to do." ”
"Father, you haven't told us the answer yet." Lu Lingfeng reflexively bounced up from the chair and asked depressedly.
"You're also a soldier, can you casually reveal the resolution formed by the Legion Council?" Lu Beiyan taught his son a lesson with a face, pulled his son-in-law and floated away.
"Isn't that fooling us?" Lu Lingfeng grimaced and smiled at his sister, laughing more ugly than crying.
"Military resolutions can't be leaked in the first place, it's better not to say it than to say it, at least you can continue to guess, how boring it is to say it." Lu Lingxue did not blame her father for being partial, but instead developed a competitive spirit. Since childhood, she has been the most competitive child of the Lu family, whether it is a weak brother or a goblin who is in trouble, she can't compare with her excellence, she can't find an opponent, now that the opponent has appeared, Chen Fang's IQ is by no means below him, at least her father thinks so, she can feel her father's appreciation for Chen Fang, and even some fanatical taste.
"My father has worked hard to cultivate Chen Fang, and it seems that he has made up his mind to keep him in the Lu family." Lu Lingfeng sat back in his chair and stirred the cold coffee with a spoon boringly.
"In my opinion, it's better to let him stay, having a competitor can make you feel the pressure and save you from having nothing to do." Lu Lingxue glanced at her brother.
"When is it? Are you still gloating? People are different, what kind of material am I, don't you know? What if you're stressed? My father has supported me no less than others, but if I am talented, I will not be a major until now. I'm not wronged, I don't want to disappoint my father, and I'm not jealous of Chen Fang, I envy him, at least he can make my father happy. Then again, let him stay, I have a companion. Lu Lingfeng explained with a smile.
"What the hell are you trying to do?" Lu Lingxue didn't understand her brother's intentions.
"Why can't you figure it out, your husband was originally going to attack the position of the head of the Lu family, and my father used to have this mind, but if you look at your father now, he is cultivating him wholeheartedly, I guess my father wants him to stay in the army." Lu Lingfeng looked around vigilantly and said mysteriously.
"It can't be." Lu Lingxue was shocked when she heard this, from the perspective of interests, Chen Fang's ascension to the position of the head of the family is undoubtedly the most ideal result, the day the dust settles as the head of the Chen family, the forces of the heirs will inevitably face a tragic reshuffle, and the interests will be redistributed, even if Chen Fang has no intention of competing for the position of the head of the family, he will not dare to give up lightly for the sake of the forces behind him, what reason does his father have for him to give up? What's more, it is impossible for the Lu family to give up the military power controlled by the family to outsiders. Although his father only has an unsuccessful son, the Lu family has other heirs.
"In the upper echelons of the Augar Empire, anything can happen, isn't your secretary of state grandfather also painstakingly cultivating you? How about a bet? I bet my father will talk to you later. Lu Lingfeng rolled his eyes, threw down a puzzling sentence, and walked out of the restaurant.
Lu Lingxue was puzzled, but she disdained her brother's gambling contract, and in her impression, her brother had no vices, and he was basically a gentleman
Less than noon, Lu Lingxue received a message from her father, since Chen Fang appeared, it seemed that everything had changed, and even her brother had become like a god.
Lu Lingxue came to her father's residence in a panic.
"A soldier is a war, and only a war can be a good thing, and this battle is good, I have fought a war for half my life, and it is the first time I am so happy." Lu Beiyan motioned for his daughter to sit next to him.
Lu Lingxue sat beside her father and waited for the following.
"Chen Fang, this kid used to be hidden, but now he is a blockbuster, and he has made two meritorious contributions after the expedition, which can also be said to be a success, and when the fleet returns triumphantly, I am ready to handle your marriage." Lu Beiyan is worthy of being a soldier, and when he talks about his daughter's marriage, it is like giving an order, and the words are sonorous and powerful.
"My father was reluctant to mention marriage before, why is he suddenly anxious now, and you are willing to marry his daughter?" Although she does not exclude her fiancé, when it comes to marriage, Lu Lingxue is still a little hesitant, and the girl is inevitably shy when it comes to marriage, so she has to prevaricate casually.
"What is this called? It's like if you get married, the Lu family will lose a daughter, you have to think like this, when you get married, the Lu family will be a son-in-law. Lu Beiyan spoke quickly, ignoring his daughter's shyness.
"Father is not worried, our marriage will do more harm than good to him competing for the position of head of the family." Lu Lingfeng cautiously reminded.
"What's there to fight about a bullshit owner? Chen Bowei is the current head of the family, and he has not been comfortable in these years. He'd dropped enough antiques to build an army. I urge you to get married as soon as possible, just to hope that this kid will give up fighting for the head of the family, leave him in the Lu family, and be by your side every day. In order to convince his daughter, Lu Beiyan did not hesitate to destroy his image and smile with an old and unserious smile.
"Father wants him to stay by your side, even if he becomes the head of the family, I am the daughter-in-law of the Chen family, so naturally I want to stay in the Chen family, but I still stay by his side, what's the difference?" Lu Lingxue's pretty face was hot, but she was still trying her best to calm down.
"Little Nizi, when did you learn to confront your father? Since you came back from participating in the rescue activities, you have been like a different person, and you have brought an indigenous girl home, and you still don't know how to settle it! Lu Beiyan, who was exposed by his daughter, was annoyed and ashamed, and he taught a lesson with a fierce voice.
"Father is going to keep him in the Black Dragon Legion, right?" Lu Lingxue obediently made a cup of tea for her father, but she admitted her mistake and then secretly changed the topic.
"You see that, too?" Lu Beiyan's complexion softened a little.
"It's not me who sees it, it's my brother who sees it, and at breakfast, he made a bet with me, saying that you will talk to me later." Lu Lingxue's demeanor was calm, and she didn't feel guilty of betraying her brother at all.
"He's not stupid, but he's all too clever to be of great use. Trying to figure out my mind is a bird? It's better to do things down-to-earth. Lu Beiyan hated that iron could not become steel, and sighed heavily.
"Father, my brother is not not not excellent, it is that your expectations of him are too high, if it weren't for you, he could be an excellent battalion commander, you go to his troops to take a look, although he is floating outside all day long, the troops he leads are not weak." Although there is a world of difference between brother and sister, brother and sister are brother and sister after all, and Lu Lingxue came forward to cry out for his brother.
The children of the nobility enjoy privileges at the same time, but also have to bear the difficulties that ordinary people can not imagine, as the son of the marshal, it is natural to be brave, talent belongs to heredity, but if you are a little mediocre, or not good enough, you will be poked in the backbone, and the views of others cannot be changed, but the father should understand the difficulties of the elder brother.
"Battalion commander? Not weak? His father is a marshal, not to mention the battalion commander, even if it is the regiment commander, the division commander, when I give way, how can he stand on his foot? What's the point of staying? Be a laughing stock for others? Lu Beiyan was heartbroken, the tiger father and dog son, there is no successor, and the greatest sorrow of the superior is nothing more than this.
"Father don't worry, the officers of the legion are all single-handedly promoted by you, and they won't embarrass your brother." Lu Lingxue turned to comfort her father.
"Once a son of heaven and a courtier, if you can't find someone to take over and let outsiders come to power, the first thing is to change blood, and there are not a few people left who I promoted, and even if there are left, they will be left to take tea and cool. People's hearts are separated from their bellies, don't think that the people below are respectful, and they can be loyal to you for a lifetime, they are afraid, they are afraid of the word marshal, when they whisper and obey you, they may be scolding you in their hearts, they are waiting, they know, I can't be a marshal for a few years? In a place like the legion, there is no successor, and I don't have enough confidence to speak, you also know my temper, I have offended many people over the years, and I dare to leave my son behind when I go into the wilderness? With his wretched virtue, he still doesn't let the old guys eat it? Lu Beiyan spoke earnestly, complaining while teaching his daughter.
"The marshal can still bounce for a few years, and some of them have to wait, at least thirty years. If my father's words are heard by my subordinates, I am afraid that I will make a blood oath to you on the spot, and you are not afraid that they will be chilled when they hear it? Lu Lingxue smiled and comforted her father.
"Don't think this is alarmist, maybe it won't come too quickly, but if you lose control of the legion, it's a matter of time before this cup of tea cools down, and in another hundred years, how many soldiers can know Lu Beiyan's name? The legion is different from other places, in other places, if you are not capable, you can also make trouble, in the Black Dragon Legion, if you can't suppress the people below, you have to give way, I am such a son, I know that he is not this material, why bother to leave him in the legion and take the risk of dying on the battlefield? While I am still in office, let him sharpen his career in the army for a few years, and before I go into the field, I will transfer him to the military department to serve as a civilian, and with the prestige of our Lu family, his career will not be too bad. Lu Beiyan explained seriously, he didn't dare to tell his son these words.
"It turned out that the father was partial, you are afraid that your son will die on the battlefield, are you not afraid that your son-in-law will have something? Aren't you afraid that your son-in-law will be eaten? No, I won't allow him to stay in the Legion. Lu Lingxue suddenly attacked.
