Not long after Situ Jin and the others left Osini's mansion, Ossini turned around and returned to his study. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 After Info returned to the study, Ossini lay down on the chair in the study with his eyes closed, and after a while, his son Rodrigo walked in from outside.
"Father, what do you think of that Situ Jin?" asked Rodrigo as he walked up to Osini.
Ossini slowly opened his eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "This little guy knows how to be an official better than his father Situ Nan. ”
"You mean?" said Rodrigo, who didn't quite understand what his father meant.
Ossini glanced up at his son and said, "I mean, don't look at this Situ Jin's young age, but he has a lot of city in his chest!"
Rodrigo thought for a moment and said, "But father, if he really has the city in his heart, why didn't he please his father Situ Nan so much before?"
"Hmph......" Ossini sneered a few times: "Situ Nan, I have worked with him for so many years, I know him too well, I can't say that I don't have any talent, but it is still too far-fetched for him to let him lead the military affairs of the empire! It cannot be denied that he is indeed conscientious in his work, but he has no talent for knowing people! Not to mention anything else, he can't even tell which one is his own son, what do you say this person is not eye-catching?"
It can be seen that Ossini should have a very bad impression of Situ Nan, so when he talked about Situ Nan, Osini's face was full of disdain: "If it weren't for the blessing of his ancestors, would he Situ Nan be able to sit in the position of deputy commander-in-chief of the Imperial Military Department? In the past, when the old emperor was still alive, he began to show his position to support Robert, and the old emperor pointed out the marriage between Princess Theresia and the Situ family in order to make him a little more restrained, in order to warn Situ Nan to keep his distance from Robert." I never thought that after this, Situ Nan not only did not restrain himself, but became more blatant!"
Speaking of this, Ossini did not hide the mockery on his face: "Aldrich.Although the twenty-fourth is also a great achievement, he can barely be called a Ming monarch, although he is dissatisfied with Situ Nan's approach in his heart, but considering the sacrifices and contributions that the Situ family has always made to the empire, he is at most just a side warning to Situ Nan!" But Robert is different, he didn't inherit much of his father's talent, but he inherited all of his father's bad character, the old emperor couldn't bear to do anything to Situ Nan, he didn't care about that! Not long after taking office, he began to take Situ Nan under the knife, how can you remember how Situ Nan once supported him wholeheartedly?"
After a pause, Ossini continued: "In the final analysis, whether this Situ Nan has the talent to engage in politics or not can be seen from this one thing! If you want me to say, it is not wronged to let him suffer a little in prison, you see that he has led the imperial army for so many years, has he cultivated a decent talent to lead the army? But if he has a little talent, we are such a big country, and we will not let four small countries fight now!"
While Ossini spoke, Rodrigo kept nodding his head, looking like he was humbly listening. ”
After talking for a while, Osini's mouth was also a little dry, he picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip of water, and then looked at Rodrigo: "Rodrigo, do you know why you didn't plan to become an official again before becoming a father?"
Rodrigo frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "Didn't my father say that being an official in troubled times will only cause infamy?"
Ossini smiled slightly: "That's right! After being in power for so many years, I have a very clear understanding of the situation of the empire, and if the empire insists on fighting this war again, then it will only make the entire empire fall step by step to the point of no return! At this time, the bigger the official, the more infamy he will provoke, and it is better to stay at home honestly than to be pointed at by thousands of people, which can be regarded as a wise way to protect himself!"
Rodrigo nodded, and then asked, "Then why did my father change his mind now?"
Ossini smiled: "It's not that my father has changed his mind, but that the helmsman of the country has changed! Since the new emperor is eager to save the empire that is sailing towards the abyss, then of course my father will also help him!"
"Father!" Rodrigo looked at Osini: "Tell me that you met Your Majesty last night, and Your Majesty has already told you that he is going to take the initiative to end this war?"
Ossini shook his head: "He hasn't said it yet, but it is estimated that he should talk about it at the court meeting in the next two days!"
After speaking, Ossini shook his head: "Speaking of which, I used to be a father! I used to think that this Ferdinand's personality was too soft and unsuitable for inheriting the throne! Now I understand that although Ferdinand looks very good at talking on the surface, he has a lot of ideas in his bones! I just talked to him for a while last night, and I got to know him a new way!"
Rodrigo sullenly didn't know what he was thinking, and after a while, he asked tentatively, "Father, do you think I still have to stay at home all the time?"
"En?" Ossini was slightly stunned, and then waved his hand and said: "Before, my father didn't let you go out because I felt that the situation in the empire was not very clear, and on the other hand, because my father knew that your talent was not in politics, but in the military! In the past, I originally wanted to install you in the Imperial Military Department, but who would have thought that Situ Nan would try his best to prevent you from entering because he was worried that our family would put his hand into the Imperial Army! Now that he is no longer the deputy commander-in-chief of the Imperial Military Department, you don't have to worry about entering the military department!"
"But, father, although Situ Nan is no longer in the Imperial Military Department now, the newly appointed Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Military Department is his son!" Rodrigo said with a worried expression.
After listening to his son's words, Onesi suddenly smiled: "Rodrigo, you should be mentally prepared, I believe that it won't be long before Situ Jin will transfer you to the Imperial Military Department!"
"This ......" Rodrigo was taken aback for a moment when he heard his father's words, and said with an uncertain look: "This can't be, right?
Osini looked at Rodrigo with a smile, and his smile revealed full of confidence: "What's impossible? Have you forgotten what your father just told you, this Situ Jin knows how to be an official better than his father Situ Nan! If you don't believe it, just wait and see, at most ten days and half a month, your appointment will come down!"
Although Rodrigo still had a lot of doubts in his heart, he also knew that his father had always been very accurate in seeing people, so he finally swallowed everything he wanted to say in his stomach and nodded in disbelief.
