With a "snap", a blue and white tea bowl smashed on the ground, and fragments were scattered.

Liu Fang, the prince of Liguo, paced back and forth angrily in the study with his hands behind his back.

The old butler outside the door walked in softly, cleaned up the debris and tea stains on the ground, and gently withdrew.

At this time, Liu Yu, who was standing aside, asked cautiously: "Father, my son is going to call Brother Heng?" ”

"What did you call him for? Tell him to me off?! ”

After speaking, Liu Fang's beard trembled slightly, looked at Liu Yu and said, "Since your eldest brother died in battle, our Liu family has completely declined. I don't know what the Liu family will be like after I die! Maybe it shouldn't have been ..... in the first place. Hey, it would be nice if you chose you! ”

Liu Yu's face changed, and he stood there in a daze, when his eldest brother died in the Xuanfu office, his father Liu Fang originally planned to make him the heir, who knew that the Jia family had such a file to ask for it, where did Liu Fang dare to make the eldest grandson Liu Heng the heir.

It's a pity, this is a complete gentleman, beaten and scolded, scolded, it's useless, you can't force him to death!

Today's incident, the Liu family has become a laughing stock in Shenjing City, and it was actually rubbed on the ground by a turtle who stepped on the face of the Liu family, and now everyone knows that the Liu family is strong and strong, and even the Jia family a year ago is not as good, and the power of the Liu family will decline more and more in the future.

After a while, Liu Yu took Liu Fang and sat down on a chair under the window, and arrived at a bowl of new tea.

Liu Fang sighed softly and said, "It can't be like this anymore, you have to think of a way, otherwise the Liu family will really be finished." ”

Liu Yu hurriedly approached and said in Liu Fang's ear: "Father, if you let Huaiyu go to the army to work hard, didn't Your Majesty promise the post of general manager?" ”

"Rebirth: The Great Age of Waves"

Liu Fang's brows tightened.

Liu Yu thought that Liu Fang was worried about Liu Huaiyu, so he had prepared a set of rhetoric, and hurriedly said: "Huaiyu, this kid has always had the intention of joining the army, and he has been practicing martial arts all these years, but his riding skills are a little worse, but it is absolutely no problem to go to any step camp, and he will not lose the face of the Liu family."

I heard Hou Xiaokang say that before the autumn, the Imperial Forest Army will go north to go out of the customs, this is a good time for meritorious service, 300,000 Royal Forest Army, and it is possible to cooperate with the Tatars, so that the chance of winning is greater, and there will not be any great danger. ”

Liu Fang sat there stunned for a long time, and then said: "Why did you get involved with Hou Xiaokang again, I didn't tell you, this is a person with a full heart, you can't see through him, be careful of his way!" ”

Liu Yu was slightly surprised.

Liu Fang: "I have seen Huaiyu's efforts over the years, and I also believe that he can make a career in the army." It's just that..... The Liu family has long lost its relationship with the military, otherwise your eldest brother would not have gone to serve in the Xuanfu back then, let alone ..... It is difficult to move an inch without anyone in the army, especially in a big war of hundreds of thousands of people, it is easy to be used as cannon fodder to die..."

Liu Yu's heart tightened, and he immediately said: "You mean, Your Majesty ....."

"Who knows!"

Liu Fang said expressionlessly: "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Xungui line will rise rapidly, which will pose a great threat to the imperial power, he can even be ruthless with his own son, what else can he do, besides, there are no eyes on the battlefield, what is the death of a few Xungui children.... No matter how brilliant the power is, once there is no suitable successor, it will decline again in ten or twenty years at most..."

"This ....."

Liu Yu's face was pale, and cold sweat flowed.

Liu Fang then looked at Liu Yu, "Do you know why Niu Jizong opposes the expansion of the Ruishi Battalion to 50,000?" Isn't it because he saw His Majesty's mind and wanted to firmly control the Ruishi Battalion in his hands, with such an elite in hand, whether it was on the battlefield or in Gyeonggi, it was an existence that could influence the situation. ”

Liu Yu seemed to understand something, "Father's meaning ....."

Liu Fang smiled bitterly and shook her head, then stood up, "You personally go to Beizhen Fusi, and say that I, the old man, invite him back for dinner." I'm going to Jia's house....."

Hearing Liu Fang mention Liu Xianglian, Liu Yu's face flashed a trace of unnaturalness, because of some things, Liu Xianglian left the Liu family in anger, and has been working hard outside for so many years, even if Liu Fang called him, he could only come back once out of five times.

..........

"What!"

Liu Fang stood up suddenly, her eyes widening in disbelief, "You mean Hou Xiaokang stole the self-generated fire gun from the Hyogo Division?" ”

Jia Jue leaned back in the chair, "If it weren't for the past family affection, I would have impeached him a long time ago." ”

Liu Fang was stunned for a moment, and looked at Jia Jue with straight eyes.

Jia Jue smiled and sat down reservedly.

Liu Fang looked helpless, and said: "I finally understand why you can have today's achievements, just your thoughts, Xungui is full of everything, and few can keep up, if I don't eat for a few more years, I will fall into the hands of your kid." ”

Jia Jue smiled slightly, "I will be confused when you say this." ”

Liu Fang nodded and shouted with a smile, "Okay!" Then he took out a book from his sleeve and handed it to Jia Jue, "Take a look." ”

Jia Jue got up and took the book, opened it and looked at it urgently, first stunned, then glanced at Liu Fang, and then slowly scanned the book.

This book records in detail all the things that have happened in the Xiuguo Mansion in the past two years, including some trivial matters in the back house, which is much clearer than Jia Jue's investigation, especially the record of some of the words that King Beijing Shuirong went to the Xiuguo Mansion several times to talk to Hou Xiaokang, it seems that he guessed correctly, the relationship between Hou Xiaokang and Shui Rong is not ordinary, maybe the theft of the self-generated fire gun is related to Shui Rong.

It's a pity that I don't have any evidence, it's all speculation.

At this time, Jia Jue seemed to think of something, he turned around and walked to the bookshelf, flipped it up, and soon found a book, which was obtained from a Xichang stronghold mastered by Zhou Yang, which recorded one thing, Hou Xiaokang went to Bauhinia Pass in July last year, which happened to correspond to the conversation between Shui Rong and Hou Xiaokang recorded in Liu Fang's book in early June, and in thinking of the topographic map of Bauhinia Pass obtained from the Wara people, it seems that this Hou Xiaokang is Zhu Houze's person, no, it should be said that King Shui Rong of Beijing has a connection with Zhu Houze, And Hou Xiaokang is a water-soluble person.

"That's right!"

Jia Jue muttered to himself.

Everyone knows that Zhu Houze has ambitions, but from the current point of view, he does not have this ability, because he has already formed a mortal enmity with the Tatars, and before this, it is impossible for him to go south to detain the pass, so he changed his strategy and used to create chaos to block the footsteps of the imperial court, so as to make enough time for him to annex the Tatar tribes and dominate the steppe.

This is only the first step, I don't know when I started a very careful plan, bribing and bribing the border town generals, using the relationship between the court and stealing the topographic map of the pass near Gyeonggi, while setting off disputes within the Ming Dynasty, while encroaching on and annexing the Tatar tribes, and then waiting for the opportunity of chaos in the imperial court, sending troops south to detain the pass, and re-ascending to the throne.

By the way, there is also a Zhongshun Palace, and after getting the secret file of the West Factory of the Zhou Mansion, Jia Jue can be regarded as unlocking some of the secrets of the year, and he is a loyal and loyal Wangfu.

Jia Jue knew in his heart that he needed to make a decision, and it would be beneficial and disadvantageous for him to let them make waves, especially now that the emperor began to install cronies and generals in the Imperial Forest Army to share the military power, without Shui Rong, Zhu Houjiong and others, there would be other people to provide information for Zhu Houze, so that he would have to spend a lot of energy to investigate, on the contrary, he could always pay attention to their movements, so as to make accurate judgments.

Of course, this will definitely damage the interests of some of the imperial court, but the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

As for reporting Shui Rong and others to the emperor, hehe, not to mention that there is no evidence, even if there is, it cannot be sent to the emperor, so not only is it impossible to get rid of them 100%, but it may also attract the emperor's suspicion.

After thinking about this, Jia Jue made a decision and said to Liu Fang: "Don't worry, Lao Guogong, this matter will definitely be done beautifully for you, it's just ....."

Liu Fang: "But do you need me to continue to provide you with information about the Xiuguo Mansion?" ”

Jia Jue: "Yes. ”

"Okay."

Liu Fang said directly: "Huaiyu will have to worry about you in the future, and it depends on him whether the Liu family can turn over." ”

Speaking of this, he hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "The other ones, if they can help you, they are all old relatives, you can't watch them send white-haired people to black-haired people!" ”

Jia Jue understood what he meant, and nodded solemnly.
