"Smack!"

Wei Feng slapped the table in front of him hard, shaking the pen holder and inkstone on it with a loud sound.

At this moment, Wei Feng lost his usual graceful bearing, his face was pale, he gritted his teeth, and his cold voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth: "Xu Luo...... It's you again, damn little brute, if you can't be put to death, the Wei family will break in your hands sooner or later!"

Wei Ziting stood aside, not daring to say a mouthful, hearing this, he raised his head in some surprise and asked cautiously: "Dad, are you sure that Xu Luo did this matter?"

"Why are you so stupid?" Wei Feng glanced at his son with hatred, and sighed in his heart: If you can be like that Xu Luo, even if I hand over the phase now, I am willing!

The muscles on Wei Ziting's face twitched violently a few times, and he retorted a little unconvinced: "Maybe Xu Su did this......

"Is there a difference?" Wei Feng looked at Wei Ziting with an annoyed expression: "Although Xu Su is known as a wise general, that is because he leads the army to fight strongly!

Wei Ziting closed his mouth, but in his heart he was slandering: Aren't you also able to use it? Otherwise, how did those two civil officials fall?

Wei Feng stood up, walked around the room, and muttered: "It can't go on like this, the two brothers Xu Luo and Xu Su have become a climate, and the Xu family has become a big problem, if they can't completely eradicate it, sooner or later, they will completely suppress our Wei family." ”

"The Xu family should be eradicated...... Wei Ziting agrees with this very much, he also hates the Xu family to the core, especially Xu Luo, the young man who embarrassed him and covered up all the light that originally belonged to him, and he hated the person the most.

Wei Feng squinted his eyes slightly, flashing with a cold light, and said slowly: "Use the momentum...... It seems that it is difficult to overwhelm the Xu family, I originally thought that gathering those wealthy families in the imperial capital could oppress them. Now it seems that the Xu family has that little bastard Xu Luo who doesn't do things according to reason, and he won't care about these things at all. So, now we can only use that one trick!"

Wei Ziting raised his head a little dazedly and looked at his father: "What?"

"Assassination!" Wei Feng's eyes were full of murder, and he slowly spit out two words.

......

"Father, the son wants to sue the Xu family's son, Xu Su, for being lawless and deliberately killing the children of the royal family on the street. The sixth prince knelt in front of his father, looked sad, and said in a deep voice.

On the dragon chair, Huangfu Haoran looked at his son with a calm face, and said lightly: "Do you have evidence?"

"Naturally, there is, and countless people on Qinglong Street have seen it with their own eyes. The sixth prince raised his head, his eyes flashing with anger and sadness: "Although the little emperor uncle is cold and arrogant, he has a noble character and comes from a large sect, how can he do such a thing as robbing the people's daughters? This is obviously because the little emperor uncle picked the underground power of the imperial capital before, injured his lover, and used this kind of means of planting...... Deliberate revenge!"

Huangfu Haoran nodded slightly, and then said, "Then, what are you going to do?"

The sixth prince looked firm, gritted his teeth and said, "The prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the people!"

"That's a good point. The emperor nodded, his face could not see joy or sorrow, but he said softly: "This matter will be left to you to deal with." However, you listen well, don't take one-sided words for granted, I hope you can thoroughly investigate the matter before making a conclusion, understand?"

The sixth prince's expression was awe-inspiring, and he said respectfully: "The son obeys the order!"

"Go ahead. Huangfu waved his hand and let the six princes leave.

Then, the crown prince, who was standing on the side, stepped forward and said softly: "Father, the sons and daughters have different opinions on this matter. ”

Say. Huangfu Haoran glanced at the crown prince.

"The civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty knew that Wei Xiang and the Xu family had always been at odds, and the two civil officials who were imprisoned by Wei Xiang before knew that they had been wronged; Wei Ziting took people to trouble the Xu family and sealed several shops under the name of the Xu family......

"Why is it unreasonable? shouldn't those underground forces hiding in dark corners, as hateful as rats, be eliminated?" Huangfu Haoran said lightly.

The prince nodded: "It should be cleared, but...... The son dared to ask his father, since the founding of the country, 1,400 years...... But at what time did you really achieve the complete absence of the power of underground darkness?"

"That's not the reason. Huangfu Haoran's face was calm, and he said unhappily or angrily.

"Yes, this is indeed not a reason, but that gang had a lot of evil deeds before, and after being subdued by Guo Ying, it became disciplined, and there was no such thing as bullying the weak and bullying the market...... "The prince said: "Therefore, Erchen thinks that since the gang cannot be completely eliminated, it is better to let such a gang exist, at least, it can contain other forces." ”

"Your idea is quite similar to when I was young...... Huangfu Haoran suddenly said with some emotion, and then changed his words: "However, you must know that the disciplined and organized gang is a taboo in the heart of any person in a higher position! Do you know why I would abolish your crown prince position in a fit of anger at that time?"

The prince was slightly stunned, and then fell silent.

It's not that he didn't think of this, it's just that he is loyal to the Xu family, and he is very confident, but since his father proposed it, he naturally can't continue to talk about it.

And the reason why he was deposed at that time was wronged...... It was precisely because of that incident that the relationship between him and the six princes was completely broken, and at the same time, the relationship between the crown prince and Wei Feng became extremely delicate.

Because he has too many reasons to believe that that incident was done by Wei Feng and the Six Princes!

Fortunately, the emperor then issued an edict saying that he had wronged the prince, and this matter was ...... That's it.

But deep in the prince's heart, a big knot was formed.

"All along, it is precisely because the leader of that gang is related to the Xu family that I didn't touch it, but this doesn't mean that I like such a powerful force to exist in the imperial capital. Huangfu Haoran whispered, glanced at the prince deeply, and said meaningfully: "On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore?"

"Erchen understands, Erchen knows that he is wrong. A layer of cold sweat oozed slightly from the prince's forehead, and he quickly knelt on the ground.

"Get up, these things have nothing to do with you, I just want you to understand, I, there will always be a day when I retreat, this throne will be yours sooner or later, so, there are some truths, you have to understand. ”

A flash of joy flashed in the prince's eyes, and it seemed to be the first time that his father had affirmed his identity so bluntly.

"I'm old, but I'm not confused, what your sixth brother is doing, I know very well. Huangfu Haoran said lightly: "However, there are some things that must be done by him, and it is not appropriate for you to do it as a prince." ”

"Erchen understands. ”

"The Xu family does have some high achievements now, but I don't care, because I know that Xu Ji will not betray me, but this does not mean that Xu Ji's children will also be your good ministers. Huangfu Haoran sighed softly, stood up, walked to the prince's side, and patted him on the shoulder.

"There is the champion Hou Xu Zhongtian in the south, and Xu Ji in the north, which is the blessing of my Firmament Empire, but a military family should do what a soldier should do!"

"I have always trusted the Xu family, but the power cannot be too tilted, otherwise, when you take the position, what will you use to balance the Xu family? I heard that Huangfu Haoyue was injured by Xu Su, then Xu Su was only a third-order sword venerable before, but now he can injure Huangfu Haoyue, do you know what does this mean?"

Without waiting for the prince to answer, Huangfu Haoran said in a deep voice: "Xu Luo was originally just a person who couldn't cultivate, but in just one or two years, he tossed so many big things, and among the younger generation, his reputation rose to the top of his name, which was originally nothing, but ...... His sworn brother is your eldest brother...... Do you know ...... What does this mean?"

The prince's body trembled slightly, and it was only at this time that he finally understood that his father had turned a blind eye to some of Wei Xiang's actions against the Xu family, it turned out that the root cause was here!

"Governing the country is like playing chess, each chess piece has its own use, and this world is not black and white. So sometimes, you have to sacrifice some pieces to ensure an advantage over the whole game. ”

Huangfu Haoran said, and then said lightly: "When necessary, no matter how good the chess pieces are, they must be sacrificed, because you are the one who plays chess......! Got it?"

"Erchen...... It seems to understand but not understand. The prince said softly.

"Later, you will understand. Huangfu Haoran sighed lightly, walked back to the dragon chair, and said, "This position is not easy to sit on. ”

"Does my father think that the Xu family is ...... Will there be disobedience?" asked the prince boldly.

"Not now, does not mean that there will be no in the future, some things, must not wait for the happening, then to face, in that way, it may be too late. Huangfu Haoran said, and then waved his hand: "You go down, think about it yourself, I'm tired." ”

The prince bowed: "The son of the minister retreats." ”

Looking at the figure of the prince leaving, the emperor Fu Haoran on the dragon chair showed a tired look on his face, stretched out his hand and rubbed the corners of his forehead, and a lot of white hair had grown on his temples.

After a long time, he muttered: "Too good people are always difficult to control, the thousand-year-old Xu family...... How did you give birth to such a freak? Why did you become a good friend with Okiyuki?"

......

"Xiao Luo, will our actions today anger the emperor?" Xu Su frowned slightly, it was refreshing to beat Emperor Fu Haoyue, but after the incident, Xu Su was also faintly worried.

"Hehe, even if we don't do this, I believe the emperor will find a reason to trouble the Xu family. Xu Luo leaned back in the chair with some interest, and said slowly: "Our family is too dazzling now, the emperor ...... It's a little old again. ”

"Don't spread that out. Xu Su glared at his bold brother, and then said, "Otherwise, people will think that we have any bad intentions." ”

"Whether there is any ill heart or not, it is not us who has the final say, it is the emperor who has the final say. Xu Luo smiled bitterly: "Brother, haven't you seen that the current imperial capital is not what we want to do, but those families and the royal family are forcing us to do this?"

"What are you doing?" Xu Su first subconsciously asked, and then smiled bitterly: "Yes, my father has already made great achievements, and now our two brothers have shown an excellent side, and the most important thing is that you and the eldest prince have a good relationship, and many people are uneasy because of this matter." ”

"That's right, originally no one would pay attention to the eldest prince who had no status, but now, this is not the case, unconsciously, the reputation of the eldest prince in the country has been faint, and some have to go hand in hand with the crown prince and the six princes. ”

Xu Luo said, and then smiled faintly: "So, many people are afraid, including the emperor!"
