"Let's play!"

The old minister Su, who should have been forced to death by his successor Qin Xiang a few years ago, threw the black cat in his arms aside, and the cat ran away happily.

Then he looked at Xia Jingyun, and it didn't seem strange that he could reveal his identity in one bite, "Xia Xiaoyou, come and have a cup of tea?" ”

"Thank you, Mr. Su."

"You two can just sit by yourself, and you want me to say hello?"

Old Master Zhao sat down with a smile, and the most restrained of the four became the head of the Su family.

Old Minister Su looked at Xia Jingyun, "I took the liberty of inviting Xia Xiaoyou here, I have three questions I want to ask." To be fair, you can also ask me three questions. One by one, you ask, how? ”

Xia Jingyun nodded when he heard this, "Old Minister Su is high-spirited, and the younger generation has nothing to do." ”

He took a deep breath, "How many people know about Old Minister Su's fake death?" ”

"It's all here." Old Minister Su pointed to the person sitting at the table, "And this is not called fake death, when a person is forgotten and ignored by the people of the world, whether his body is still or not, he is already dead." has survived so far, one is in love with the world, and the other is reluctant to give up the family. ”

He looked at Xia Jingyun, "So, it's my turn?" ”

"Old man, please speak."

"You came here, is it your own intention, or is it the meaning of Concubine De?"

Xia Jingyun didn't expect this question to be so simple, and said: "It's indeed a coincidence, the younger generation originally intended to travel under a pseudonym and enter Beijing to take the exam, but I didn't expect to be delayed for a month in Yunmengzhou." But in the matter of the Su family, I also did have the intention of helping my sister and wanting to form a good relationship with the Su family, so I returned to help the eldest lady after leaving Su Jiawu. ”

Old Minister Su bowed slightly, noncommittal, "It's your turn." ”

Xia Jingyun looked at the old man in front of him, there was a moment of hesitation in his mind, and finally he asked that question.

"Is the battle between the Su family's houses the result of the old minister's deliberate indulgence?"

As soon as these words came out, the old owner of Zhao was still there, but the head of the Su family was nervous, which made the old man Su glared at him with disgust.

"Deliberate indulgence doesn't matter."

Old Minister Su sighed, "But the Su family really deserves to be taught a good lesson." A big family who doesn't know what danger is, is like a child holding money to go through the city, and sooner or later it will be eaten and wiped out. If the world is peaceful, it would be fine, now that everyone is planning to their own families, they don't know the truth of uniting as one and waiting for battle, but they are afraid that the entire Su family will be gone in troubled times. ”

Xia Jingyun squinted slightly, "Even at the cost of the lives of two sons?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the head of the Su family stood up, "Young Master Xia! Watch your words! ”

"Sit down!" Old Minister Su glared at his eldest son with disgust, "I'm not in a hurry, what are you anxious about?" After being the head of the family for so many years, I still don't have any bearing. ”

Just like Xia Jingyun's impression, many capable and powerful parents, most of their children live in the shadows, and gradually become submissive, it seems that the head of the Su family is another victim.

But this wasn't something he had to worry about, he just looked at Old Lady Su calmly, waiting for his answer.

Old Minister Su looked indifferent, as if smiling, "This question is the third one, do you really want me to answer it?" ”

Xia Jingyun nodded.

Old Minister Su raised his eyebrows, sighed, and nodded slowly.

Then he whispered, as if remedial and self-enlightening, "But I didn't expect it to come to this point. ”

Xia Jingyun was silent for a moment, and he didn't see any joy or anger, "Please ask the old minister to ask." ”

Old Minister Su said slowly: "After this incident, I'm afraid my situation will not be able to hide, you don't need to ask more reasons, your three questions have been asked." This time, if you want to have a good relationship with the Su family, no problem. ”

He sighed, "Your Majesty is no longer the Majesty of the past, the people's livelihood is withering, corruption is rampant, traitorous ministers are in charge, each has his own thoughts, plus the old god of the army, if you don't want to govern it, I'm afraid that the troubled times are really coming." ”

A pair of old but still clear eyes looked straight at Xia Jingyun, "The Su family also has to take precautions." I can bet on the princess, but you have to convince me and give me a reason that will satisfy me. ”

The face of the head of the Su family changed slightly, with a little smile, looking at Xia Jingyun, there is a kind of thing that makes you kid dumbfounded, is it dumbfounded?

The reason is also very simple, who is this old man in front of him?

He is the first important minister of the Chongning Dynasty who has been in the phase for more than ten years, and his protégés are all over the world, and he single-handedly dominated the faint Zhongxing situation in the early stage of the Chongning Dynasty.

I have never seen any winds and waves in my life, and I have even died once, in addition to physical strength, my mind, experience, and knowledge are not the top in the world.

Xia Jingyun, a young man who is not yet twenty years old, wants to convince this old man under such an abrupt test, isn't it a fantasy!

The old owner of Zhao couldn't help but say: "Brother Boyuan, what kind of identity and experience do you have, how old is he, the young man was offended, your reaction is also a little bigger, right?" ”

Old Minister Su just looked at Xia Jingyun with a smile, "Young talents, if you want to do extraordinary things, you should have extraordinary abilities." Don't think that the old man is making things difficult for you, how many people want to come here to talk to the old man about this and have no chance. ”

Xia Jingyun naturally knew the seriousness of this matter, but he also knew the huge opportunity contained in it.

Once Surabaya Prefecture Mu Wei Yuanzhi joined the camp of Concubine De's family, which made my sister happy for a long time.

Old Minister Su, that is ten Wei Yuanzhi tied together, and it can't be compared.

Not to mention the Su family behind him.

If the Su family can be pulled onto the warship, the big ship of Concubine De will have a ballast stone in an instant.

Those thousands of soldiers and a hundred years of business have allowed everyone to have a way out in the most extreme circumstances.

The question now is how to make it satisfied.

He looked at Old Lady Su, "I need to think about it for a while." ”

Old Minister Su nodded, "Within a stick of incense." ”

After speaking, he couldn't help but glared at the eldest son who was still stunned, "Do you want me to order incense?" ”

The dignified head of the Su family had to get up aggrievedly, find an incense burner, and light an incense stick.

The green smoke curls, and the mind is calm.

Xia Jingyun pursed his lips, and thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind.

A stick of incense burned slowly but surely downward, and none of the three people present were so shallow to taunt or urge, but just waited quietly.

Just when it was about to burn out, Xia Jingyun spoke.

"What does the old minister think is the enemy of Concubine De in the court today?"

Old Minister Su pursed his lips directly, "If you have something to say, the old man is not interested in talking to you." ”

Old Master Zhao smiled and helped him out of the siege, "It's nothing more than the East Palace, Qin Xiang, and Concubine Shu, just three parties." ”

Xia Jingyun glanced at him with emotion, and then stopped pretending to be forced, and said honestly: "The three sides are enemies, but the enemy is severe." ”

"The crown prince was born from the first queen, and he was in the East Palace when he was a child, and now he has been in the East Palace for more than 20 years, which seems to be deep-rooted, but in fact he is already in danger. How can there be a prince in the world for 20 years, the son can't ascend the throne and get his wish, the father can't be at ease and let go, the father and son are suspicious and prejudiced, and the prince is deposed sooner or later. Now the battle for the throne is that His Majesty is creating momentum for this matter. If the prince is killed by the neck, his threat will disappear, and if he commits rebellion, his reputation will be lost, and no matter how he chooses, he will be a threat again. ”

"As for Prime Minister Qin, although he is the head of a hundred officials, his power is monstrous. However, after more than seven years in power, the state and dynasty have deteriorated. If it is true that it is difficult to match the power scheme, but he does not want to help the people, but in order to meet His Majesty, he has done too many evil things, and His Majesty rewarded him for the glory of this extremely human minister, but when the country is unstable and has to do something to make the people angry, he is the most suitable scapegoat. ”

Old Xianggong Su blinked, "You kid wouldn't know that I had a grudge with him and deliberately said it to please me, right?" ”

Xia Jingyun nodded calmly, "There is such a reason. ”

"Hahahaha!" Old Xianggong Su couldn't help but laugh a few times, "You're really interesting." ”

He stretched out his finger and tapped lightly on the table, "What about the concubine?" The Lu family is the head of the nobles, and she has the full support of the entire Xungui group behind her, these nobles are resting with the country, flourishing, whether it is soldiers, politics, money and food, talents, and reputation, there is no shortage of everything. Concubine Shu herself is also beautiful as a flower, deeply favored by His Majesty, your sister-in-law, born in a small family, thanks to Your Majesty's grace, as long as you fall out of favor, everything is over. Some of you have it, and some of you don't have it, so why can you beat others? ”

Xia Jingyun was silent for a moment, "Do you have a pen and paper?" ”

Old Minister Su nodded.

This time, the head of the Su family learned to be obedient, and immediately stood up and got pen and ink.

Xia Jingyun spread out the paper and began to write directly.

The old owner of Zhao and the head of the Su family, who were sitting on either side of him, couldn't help but look sideways, and both of them were bright-eyed.

The head of the Su family looked at the word really good, revealing a self-contained and skillful bearing;

And the old owner of Zhao Zhuang was attracted by the words on the paper.

[In the future, the position is vacant, the two concubines are competing, and the momentum is stalemate, but the rest of the stealing materials, Concubine Shu has six defeats, and Concubine De has six wins.

The concubine comes from a family and has many courtesies; Concubine De is natural, friendly and generous, this way is better than one!

The concubine is famous and jealous, high and talented, but if she loses her home, she is a useless woman; Concubine De shows off the outside and is wise, good inside and outside, does not borrow external forces, and becomes the commander of the harem, this can win the two!

Because of the wealth of the world, the concubine gave wealth to invite people's hearts, and was good at using power to gain fame, and belonged to those who were praised, and many people who tended to be inflammatory, and those who chased fame and fortune; Concubine De treats people with the heart, respects sincerity and righteousness and gathers heroes, knows people and is good at being handsome, and the meritorious have nothing to hide, and those who are united have nothing to hide, and the loyalty of the scholar is far-sighted and the real people are willing to use, this virtue wins three also.

The concubine rose because of the noble, nepotism, but the nobles are mostly moths of the country, and they will have to fight for power and profit, slander and chaos; Concubine De from the cold and slightly, only the move, gathered left and right, are all wise people, so they can be up and down the same heart, in the same boat, this department wins four also!

Concubine Shu colluded with traitors and assassinated Wudang Army, which was conclusive and well known to the center, which was polluted and not liked by the righteous people in the world; Concubine De faced the rebels directly, fearless in danger, suppressed the rebellion, the world heard it, the center praised it, if things are not cooperative, which is more important, it is self-evident, this righteousness is better than five!

The son of the concubine, who is five years old, and the son of the concubine, who is over six years old, the difference between one year and the young, this famous spot is six!

With these six victories, how can Concubine Shu win!

If you want to choose one of the two and follow it, how can you abandon Concubine De because of the concubine! 】

Putting down the pen, Xia Jingyun handed the contrasting piece of paper to Old Minister Su.

Old Minister Su raised his eyes and swept his eyes, and his expression suddenly froze.

After reading it a few times seriously, he sighed lightly: "Since ancient times, heroes have come out of youth! ”

He carefully put down the piece of paper, and his expression showed a bit solemnity, no longer as condescending as before, "This article is enough for me to agree to bet on Concubine De, but I always feel that it is still a little worse." ”

Xia Jingyun took a deep breath, "Actually, there are still a few words, I haven't said it to the old minister." For example, today, we have reached a critical moment of survival, and our competition above the court is actually preparing for the arrival of troubled times in the future. ”

"Now that my sister is in charge of Surabaya Prefecture, the upper and lower officials have been replaced by their own people. The Su family has such a background in Yunmengzhou, the key is that the two states are adjacent to each other, and they have the same natural risks. If there are two states, once there is a change in the world, there will be a basis for looking at the capital of the world. This is something that you can't achieve if you join forces with any force. ”

Old Minister Su narrowed his eyes, "Are you so sure that there will be troubled times?" ”

Xia Jingyun said: "Although I am young, I have also read history, why did the previous dynasties die in the period of three hundred years? It is nothing more than because the problems have accumulated to the point where they cannot be reconciled through internal changes, and can only be broken by external forces, and with the collapse of the order, the original vested interests are forced to disappear or cede most of the interests to achieve balance, and then many people die, and the world is a blank sheet of paper. ”

"After decades of prosperity, the nobles and bureaucrats began to corrupt and degenerate, annex land, and destroy various systems in the early days of the founding of the country. And then it can't be solved at all. This Great Xia Dynasty is also like this, even if the military god continues to live for decades, it has reached an unsustainable day, but it is a pity that the world is still like the last years of many dynasties in the past, bowing their heads in the mud of the court to fight for the small profits, and do not know the changes of time. ”

He sighed lightly, "The people of the time do not have time to mourn themselves and the descendants mourn it, and the descendants mourn it without learning from it, and the descendants will mourn the descendants again!" ”

"Wonderful!" Old Minister Su finally stopped hiding the appreciation in his heart, and applauded.

"What a good one [when people don't have time to mourn and future generations mourn it, and future generations mourn it without learning from it, and it also makes future generations mourn future generations! 】”

Chanting slowly, he looked at Xia Jingyun, "I think of my whole life, and I claim to be a hero in the world, but at your age, I am far worse than you!" With your help, Concubine De will not be able to do anything! ”

A smile appeared on his face, "Su family, I'll bet this game with you!" ”

Xia Jingyun smiled and said: "When the time changes, Prime Minister Qin will fall, and at that time, Old Prime Minister Su will have a vast world and be free, and this day will not be far away." ”

Old Minister Su, who was said to have hit another layer of thought, turned his head and looked at the sky outside the glass, stunned.

I deleted several drafts, and Longzhong thought about it and M Xuan, and I felt that it was more appropriate to write it simply.

Ask for a ticket, or2
