The concubine of the famous family is very evil.

Chapter 587

When we arrived at the study, the old master was waiting. When he saw Jinniang coming with Brother Yang in his arms, the old man also smiled, nodded and said, "Well, very good, fourth girl, you are a lucky one."

Jinniang and Leng Huating were busy kowtowing to the old man. The old man was not surprised at the healthy Leng Huating, but said: "Ken stand up, it seems that you think you have the ability to protect your wife and children, grandpa and I Glad to see it."

Leng Huating was startled when he heard that, and looked at the old man with complicated eyes.

"Grandpa, I understand the Emperor's thoughts on your husband and wife best. After decades of fighting in the court, there is no reason why the Emperor's temperament cannot be clearly understood. Your current plan is to use the same to respond to all changes. The emperor begged for you." The old man stroked the beard under his chin, looked at Leng Huating deeply and said.

Leng Huating's eyes lit up, he looked at the old man fixedly, and bowed respectfully again: "Please teach me more, old man."

"The so-called Merchant Minister is just a name. You should have set up such a caravan earlier. Why should you hand over the power of appointment to the emperor? The emperor is too narrow-minded to accomplish great things. But it can trap virtuous and capable people to death, making it difficult for them to develop one out of ten talents. Therefore, as long as you really have the strength, then act in secret, don't care about the emperor's opinion, let alone try to get your name corrected by the emperor. As long as After I gain strength, no matter whether it is the emperor or other people, I have to be afraid of you three points, only then can you protect yourselves to the fullest."

The old man's words are very thoughtful, and thinking about Zhou Xiang is exactly what Leng Huating thought, so the more Leng Huating listened, the brighter his eyes became, "The old man is very eloquent, but now the emperor is holding his elbows everywhere." Son-in-law, let grandson-in-law become more difficult, I don't know how to solve it?"

"Hey, Grandpa, I've been thinking about this for the past few days. Your father-in-law is currently at the border, and there is a shortage of money and food in the court. I'm afraid it will be difficult to last for a month. The emperor is unwilling to unanimously fight with the outside world, and he is still fighting among himself. Obviously, he should appease you. As for you, it will definitely chill your hearts if you use the tricks you are used to treating your subordinates to deal with you.

This is really... Well, if there is a way to transfer your father-in-law back, it will be easy to handle.Just let Dajin lose a few cities, and when the time comes, you can multiply that private army several times and pull it to the front line to rescue the emergency. Then, the emperor will rely on you. "The old man frowned deeply and shook his head helplessly.

The old man is the old man's own son, and no one would want his son to be defeated and fight in the front line, even endangering his life.

"Then let Daddy send a few cities to Xiliang, and lengthen Xiliang's battle line to eliminate their food and horses. When Daddy retreats from the city, he must fortify the walls and clear the country, so that they can only occupy an empty city. They The country is also a place of bitter cold, and it is not much richer than Dajin. The longer the war lasts, the more it will be unbearable for them. At that time, as long as the emperor bows his head and we take the initiative, we will slow down our father again. That's it." Jin Niang said disapprovingly after hearing this.

The old man's face darkened when he heard it, and he said after a while: "From now on, your father's reputation will be ruined."

"How could it ruin your reputation? Let's just think this is a war strategy. As long as the father-in-law can last a few more months, the son-in-law will march north and beat the Xiliang people back to their hometown." Leng Huating was confident. Said full.

"However, this is so difficult. You don't know how stubborn the emperor is, and he is not willing to bow to you if he is less than [-] urgent. Your private soldiers may only grow stronger under the cover of the crown prince. This, You have to agree with the crown prince, no matter how wise the crown prince is, he may not agree to you, after all, he will also be emperor in the future, who would like to have a lion beside the couch?" This matter has to be discussed in the long term.

Just as they were discussing, the old man's long follower, Chang Zhong, knocked on the door outside, and his voice was very urgent: "Old Prime Minister, the old man has delivered a letter and returned."

The old man was startled when he heard it, and hurriedly asked Chang Zhong to take the letter in, took a look, it was indeed a waxed letter, tore off the seal, and in front of Jinniang and Leng Huating, the old man read it, When he saw it, his face changed drastically, and he said to the young couple standing there: "The people of Xiliang can't wait, the war has already begun, your father led an army of [-], and after only two battles, [-] of them have been lost. This time, I vowed to win, and I wanted to make a quick decision, forcing all the troops of the whole country to the border, your father, it's dangerous."

Jinniang's heart tightened when she heard this, and she quickly looked at Leng Huating. Leng Huating also felt that the situation was urgent, and she had to discuss it with the prince quickly.Even if you can't expand your own private soldiers, you can directly dispatch troops from the barracks of the Xishan Camp in the capital, and equip them with private soldiers' equipment and weapons.

Leng Huating bowed his hands to the old man and was about to leave, but the old man smiled slyly and said: "What's the rush, it's rare to go back to the door once, and leave after dinner, well, it's best not to leave today, just stay at her mother's house Stay overnight and come back tomorrow.”

Leng Huating was startled when he heard it, and then he understood what the old man meant. At this moment, the emperor and the prince are more anxious than himself. Instead of going to the door by themselves, it is better to let them beg. At that time, any conditions must be put forward many.

Then he nodded to the old man and said, "My son-in-law respects the old man's orders."

The old man laughed out loud, knowing that Leng Huating understood what he meant, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go, let's kill the pan."

Leng Huating is naturally willing to accompany you. The old man is indeed a fine person. He has lived his whole life and has stood firm in the court for decades. Of course, he is both shrewd and cunning. Even if it is not close, judging from his performance in the battle between the two brothers Leng Huating and Leng Huatang, his foresight can be described as far-reaching, and his behavior is even more cunning. Trust is a balancing act, so he resolutely retreated to the side, not helping anyone, not offending anyone, only to see who the end result is, and then firmly stand on whose side.

The words just now also clearly distinguished the situation of the emperor and Leng Huating, which Leng Huating had to admire.

Jinniang quietly backed out with Brother Yang in her arms. Brother Yang had already fallen asleep in Jinniang's arms. As soon as Jinniang went out, she wrapped him tightly with a cloak. Mother Zhang sat in the outer hall and waited for her. Seeing her coming out, he hurriedly whispered in her ear: "The little girl Shuang'er just came back, she is waiting outside."
