Chapter 20

Xie family

In the quiet room of the main courtyard, the father and son of the Xie family were playing against each other, and the people who were waiting in the house all withdrew.

Xie Mingtang and Xie Zhan sat opposite each other, Xie Zhan held the white son, and Xie Mingtang held the black child. In the entire quiet room, there was no sound except the sound of falling children.

I don't know how long it took, after Xie Mingtang dropped a sunspot, he asked the eldest son of Yushu Linfeng opposite, "What do you think of the incident in the morning today?" ”

Xie Zhan held on to a white piece and looked at the three suitable seats on the chessboard, silent, his eyes looked at the chessboard, as if he was troubled by something.

Xie Mingtang didn't rush and waited patiently.

All the pictures in Xie Zhan's mind were finally fixed on the scene where Lu Songli slapped the voice manager of the Zhao Mansion on the face that day, and he finally decided on the position of the fallen son. He was still a little uncertain when he landed, but the closer he got to the board, the stronger his move became.

The son settled, Xie Zhan said, "The Zhao family has been smooth sailing for too long, and they despise the enemy too much. ”

Xie Mingtang nodded, indeed, in the past, Lu Desheng, a big troll, was afraid of the air, but he had never touched the people of the Zhao family, and of course, he had not touched the people of the Xie family. This was the first time that Zhao Wenkuan faced Lu Desheng's attack, which can be described as a fiasco.

"The Zhao family's underestimation of the enemy is one thing, but is Lu Desheng too dangerous?"

It stands to reason that the stronger the in-laws, the happier they will be, rather than worried. Xie Mingtang's words were actually a temptation, and he was also worried that one day when the Lu family stood on the opposite side of the Xie family, how would the Xie family deal with such an uncontrollable person. As the saying goes, there are no eternal enemies, and there are no eternal friends.

In the past, in the face of similar problems from his father, Xie Zhan was usually silent. Because he didn't feel the need to discuss it. Because of Lu Songli's original temperament, the possibility of the Lu family being willing to quit is very low. In this case, the Lu family will be his father-in-law, and he will not let the Lu family and the Xie family have the possibility of turning against each other.

In the face of his eldest son's silence, Xie Mingtang was used to it. His old father often told him in the last years before his death that Xie Zhan, the eldest grandson, was the most like him of all his descendants. With a lot of high-quality quality, see the subtle knowledge, thoughtful, plan and then move, it is really the Xie family's unicorn. Now that he is well-read, well-read, rich and rich, and pays homage to the prime minister, it is just a matter of time. The Xie family has Xie Zhan here, and they are worry-free for at least three generations. This was not only said to him, but also heard of several clan elders who are now in charge of the Xie family. Because of this sentence, the family spared no effort in cultivating Xie Zhan.

Such a good person, but with such a family business, many people in the clan are not satisfied with this. But because this family business was set by his father, he didn't say anything.

As one of the principals of the family, Xie Mingtang knew more and was even more dissatisfied with this family business. His son is so good, and he hopes that his son will also have an excellent son-in-law in the future. He knew that there were unavoidable factors for his father to set up the Lu family for his son, and he might not be really satisfied with the Lu family.

In fact, their Xie family has a way to force the Lu family to take the initiative to withdraw from their relatives. But after the eldest son Xie Zhan noticed this, he repeatedly stopped him and warned him, asking him to restrain his clansmen and not to make a move against the Lu family. said that Lu Desheng is very sensitive. The geese have left traces, as long as they have moved, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be found. He listened to all these words, and he has done so all these years.

Now that the Zhao family has come in, it has given them another choice for the Xie family, and it will not damage their reputation. When the Zhao family came to him, he was moved, but his son still looked unshakable.

Just when Xie Mingtang thought that this time it was impossible to wait for his son to speak, as in the past, Xie Zhan spoke, "Father doesn't need to worry too much, Lu Desheng is just a knife in the hand of the saint to put it bluntly." The reason why Lu Desheng's impeachment has such a good effect this time is obviously that the saint has long been dissatisfied with their Zhao family, but the saint took advantage of the situation with Lu Desheng's hand. ”

The loosening or change of his son's attitude made Xie Mingtang overjoyed, he knew very well what this meant, but then there was deep worry, "Lu Desheng's knife is too sharp, and the fire is burning." ”

He had to worry about this, Lu Desheng was like a fire, and it was very uncontrollable, he was worried that one day, this fire would burn to the Xie family. Compared to the Zhao family, their Xie family is estimated to be not much clean, if Lu Desheng turns the gun and aims at the Xie family, it will be a disaster.

Xie Zhan shook his head and said, "Lu Desheng is not afraid, the Lu family is the rootless duckweed, which looks huge, but it only plays an extraordinary role in a specific position." In fact, it is not difficult to get rid of him. ”

Xie Mingtang asked, "What do you say?" How do you do that? ”

Xie Zhan spit out two words lightly, "Kill!" ”

"Tell me about it." Xie Mingtang motioned for him to continue. Didn't my son say it himself just now? Lu Desheng is the knife in the emperor's hand, and now they are going to abolish his knife, can the emperor be happy?

Seeing his father like this, Xie Zhan frowned slightly, it seems that Lu Desheng really put a lot of pressure on his father, which is not good.

"Dad, have you analyzed the reason why Lu Desheng is so powerful? Starting from the cause, it is not difficult to get rid of him. ”

"Lu De's victory lies in his mouth!" Xie Mingtang was disdainful, but he had to admit in his heart that Lu Desheng had two brushes in impeaching people.

"That's just his sharp knife, which is easy to use. These are only superficial reasons. Another reason is that the emperor needs a knife and is only loyal to his own sword. ”

Xie Mingtang knew that what his son said was right, if the emperor didn't need it, then no matter how sharp the knife was, the emperor wouldn't use it.

"Dad, there are a lot of people in the court who hate Lu Desheng, right?"

"Many, even if you don't hate him, you don't like him, if it weren't for the emperor protecting him, it would be difficult for him to have a place in the court."

"Those people should have belittled him and suppressed him in front of the emperor, right? But no matter what those people say, has the emperor always protected him? ”

"That's right!"

Xie Zhan pointed out, "So, they wanted to deal with Lu Desheng, and the direction was wrong from the beginning. ”

People have a rebellious mentality, so many officials in the court always want to move Lu Desheng, for the emperor, my people, the more you oppose it, the more I have to protect it, I don't believe that I can't protect a courtier.

If Lu Songli was here, she would also agree with his point of view, the current situation of her father and the emperor was that the stronger the external force given to them by the courtiers, the more they would resist together.

"Wrong direction?"

"The current Lu Desheng and the emperor are one, and when you deal with him, you are dealing with the emperor."

Xie Mingtang's eyebrows stretched when he heard this, "Son, I kind of understand. At this time, he suddenly realized, no wonder they felt a headache when dealing with Lu Desheng.

"Therefore, the first step in dealing with Lu Desheng is to separate him from the emperor, to remove his characteristics as a 'knife', and the second is not to ignore the emperor's needs, and not to let the emperor have no knife to use. When the emperor adapts to the new 'knife', it will be easy to deal with Lu Desheng. Xie Zhan gently dropped the last piece and ended the game.

"Good strategy!" Xie Mingtang stroked his palms and exclaimed.

He didn't expect that the problem that had plagued him for a long time would be solved by his eldest son in a few words. Looking at the eldest son who was sitting opposite him, he couldn't help but feel full of pride, worthy of the eldest son he had high hopes for.

If Lu Songli and Xie Zhan heard each other's conversation with their respective fathers at this moment, they would definitely be taken aback and guard against each other.

Their analysis of Lu Yushi is the same, and the means of dealing with him are also similar, almost hitting his seven inches, Lu Songli directly simplified it into specific steps, and Xie Zhan explained to his father more deeply in the spirit of guidance and guidance.
