The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 656
Lin Yifan couldn't wait to ask: "Father-in-law, do you really like that Ouyang Qian? Isn't it because she looks like mother-in-law?"

Confusion appeared on Luo Yi's face, "This, I don't know either."

"Hey, it's fine no matter what." Lin Yifan smiled, "As long as she is interested in her father-in-law."

"Yi Fan, it's not what you imagined. We didn't actually talk much." Luo Yi said coyly, "I just practiced martial arts in the courtyard, and she just watched from the side. Maybe this is enough, enough."

"Father-in-law, as far as I know, Ouyang Qian used to be the wife of Qi's family, and we took revenge because Ouyang's family slandered the female political secretary. The Qi family was afraid of being implicated, so they took the initiative to divorce her." Lin Yifan said in a deep voice. "Later, in order to keep the Ouyang family, this Ouyang Qian took the initiative to serve as the female political secretary and compromised with us, and then I canceled my plan for the Ouyang family. Father-in-law, this Ouyang Qian is a tough and resolute person. It’s so rare, wouldn’t it be a pity if you miss it?”

Luo Yi quickly drank the wine in his glass, with hesitation in his eyes, "Yifan, this matter is not that simple. First of all, he has just been betrayed by his husband's family, so I am afraid it will be difficult to trust other men. Secondly, I Do I like her in person, or do I regard her as Wei'er? Again, she is a woman from the noble family, and I can't abolish public affairs for personal reasons. Finally, Feng'er and Qing'er, can they accept it? These four difficulties are not easy to handle. "

Lin Yifan smiled and said: "Four difficulties are not difficult, father-in-law, listen to me. If you really like her and don't rush for a while, the future will be long. Since she likes to watch you wielding knives and guns, it means that she has a good impression of you. Based on this foundation, plan some small surprises, which may touch her heart. After a long relationship, father-in-law, you will know whether you like her in person, or just because of your mother-in-law. As for her identity, father-in-law, don’t worry too much Think, Hengshan has never had a ban on intermarriage with the nobles. Perhaps, the father-in-law's move can ease the relationship with the nobles."

"Huh? Easing the relationship with the gentry?" Luo Yi couldn't help frowning when he heard this, "Didn't you always want to suppress the gentry? Why do you want to improve the relationship between the two now?"

Lin Yifan pondered for a while, and smiled wryly: "Father-in-law, we are a family now, so I won't hide it from you. Now that Hengshan is about to establish a country, everyone is looking forward to conferring officials and ennobling their wives and sons. But you know what? ?In this award, our old Hengshan people accounted for about [-]% of the places. These people will become the future upstarts of the empire, but this ratio is not normal. Now, what I need is checks and balances, and I need to bring in someone who can To balance the power of the old Hengshan people, so far, only the nobles have this ability."

Luo Yi was dumbfounded when he heard that, he was originally from Hengshan, but he was also a relative of the future royal family. What Lin Yifan said made him fall into deep thought.It wasn't until now that he realized that there were too many people like him who had followed Lin Yifan to fight the world from the very beginning, occupying important positions in all aspects of military and political affairs, and unknowingly, they had formed the embryonic form of an interest group.

No wonder why Lin Yifan split the eight ministries into twelve ministries and formed a cabinet. In fact, he wanted to slowly weaken the power of the old Hengshan people.Regarding this, Luo Yi's heart was extremely complicated. On the one hand, he had feelings for the old Hengshan people, after all, they were brothers who lived and died together for many years.But on the other hand, he was secretly worried about this power. It would be fine if Yifan was in power, but if Qian'er succeeded to the throne, these people would be the biggest threat to the imperial power.

"In this case, why have you been suppressing the gentry instead of taking the opportunity to gather them?" Luo Yi frowned, wondering.

Lin Yifan took a sip of his wine, and said in a deep voice: "Now is not the time. The gentry I want is a gentry who can obey orders. First, beat him hard to make him feel like he is about to die, and then bring him back and give him Reward. This is the so-called combination of kindness and might."

In fact, what Lin Yifan wanted to express was the Stockholm Syndrome, holding up the butcher's knife to the gentry, making them feel that their fate is in his hands, and then a little win over will make everyone grateful.It's just that this explanation is too complicated and can only be explained vaguely.

Hearing this, Luo Yi couldn't help but nodded slightly, "That's one way."

Lin Yifan smiled slightly, "Let's get down to business, the above-mentioned difficulties are not a problem. In the end, only Luo Feng and Qing'er are left. Father-in-law, in my opinion, it's better to let them know about this matter as soon as possible. I think the two of them deeply understand each other. If you are righteous, you should not object."

Luo Yi smiled wryly: "Yifan, just leave this matter alone, and don't tell Qing'er first..."

"Father, what did you say you don't want to tell me?" At this moment, not far away, Luo Qing'er walked over with her daughter Lin Tiantian in her arms, and looked at the two of them suspiciously.

"Ahem, it's nothing, it's nothing." Luo Yi stood up suddenly, and glanced at Lin Yifan with a strong sense of warning.

After teasing his granddaughter in his arms, Luo Yi hastily excused himself and left.

Now only the husband and wife are left, and there is an ignorant baby.

Luo Qing'er still remembered what he heard before, but it was inconvenient to ask because his father was present.now.

"Husband, why didn't you let me know what father told you just now?" Luo Qing'er stared at Lin Yifan and asked forcefully.

Lin Yifan was in distress, so he had to prevaricate: "Haha, what are you talking about, I'm talking about some business with my father-in-law, you must have heard it wrong."

"No, the two of you must have some secret." Luo Qing'er narrowed her eyes slightly, revealing a trace of coldness.

"Look at what you said, can I still lie to you?" Lin Yifan showed an aggrieved look.

"Hmph, you have lied to me a lot, do you want me to tell you everything?" Luo Qing'er stared at him angrily.

Lin Yifan felt guilty immediately, and immediately got up and said, "I still have work to do, so I'm leaving first."

After speaking, he immediately lifted his legs and left.

"If there is a problem, there must be a problem." Luo Qing'er hugged her daughter, full of thoughts.Could it be that there is someone outside my husband?Could it be that his father was ill, could it be? . . . .

Immediately, she secretly summoned the female guards and ordered them to investigate the recent whereabouts of her father and husband.Since you won't tell me, I'll check it out myself.

A few days later, when the results of the investigation were presented to Luo Qing'er, seeing the results of the investigation, her expression immediately became tangled.This investigation has nothing to do with my husband, but it has something to do with my father.

Ouyang Qian, is it true that her father is interested in her?Her appearance immediately appeared in Luo Qing'er's mind, just as the elder brother said, she was similar to her mother.But she is not a mother after all, emotionally speaking, Luo Qing'er does not want her father to accept another woman.But my father has been alone for 20 years and has worked so hard to bring up their brothers and sisters. Isn't it too selfish to do this?

It was only then that Luo Qing'er realized that sometimes not knowing was much happier than knowing, but now that she knew the truth, she became worried again.

After pondering for a long time, Luo Qing'er wrote a letter to Luo Feng who was far away in Andong City. Regarding this matter, she could not decide on her own, so she could only see Luo Feng's attitude first.
