The two brothers, Gao Mingyang and Gao Mingtang, walked around for a while after coming out of the Xu family, did not go home directly, but casually found a teahouse on the street to enter, the Xu family in order to make a living, specially bought a house next to their mansion, and then opened a small door, every time they entered the Xu family, they entered from the house, so it was not easy to be discovered.

The brothers sat down in the teahouse and looked at each other, both of whom saw deep concern in each other's eyes.

"Things must be wrong, but you shouldn't say it in front of Xu Shaoyan."

Gao Mingtang said: "This person now has some intention of jumping off the wall in a hurry." ”

"Blame me."

Gao Mingyang said: "I was quick to talk for a while, and I didn't have time to think about it so much at the time, but fortunately, you helped me round it up, but people like Xu Shaoyan will naturally understand it quickly, and the other families will find a way to gradually distance themselves from his Xu family, which is no wonder we can't really overturn a boatload of people at once." ”

"He's doing things so unsafely, it's a problem for us."

Gao Mingtang said: "Now we have to find a way to remedy it." ”

"What do you say?"

Gao Mingyang was a little anxious: "Now this posture looks like His Majesty already knows something, no matter how you look at it, it looks like Your Majesty deliberately wants to kill him, if it weren't for the protection of Dou Huainan, I'm afraid His Majesty wouldn't let Tantai Caoye and Fang Baijing make a move, and it was our mistake to move Dou Huainan." ”

"That's it."

Gao Mingtang pondered for a while and said: "First, now you are in charge, disconnect the line of contact with the Xu family, except for you and me, all the people who are responsible for moving around with the Xu family are all transferred away from Chang'an, sent farther away, and don't let the people from the Tingwei Mansion find it." ”

Gao Mingyang frowned: "You can get rid of them all." ”

"No way!"

Gao Mingtang's face changed: "How can you think like this? ”

He glared at Gao Mingyang: "When the ancestors followed His Majesty Taizu to fight the world, His Majesty Taizu praised our ancestors more than once, and the people who are willing to do things for us are all family members and friends, and they are also acting on the orders of you and me, and we got rid of them because of your negligence?" Don't you think it's too shady to do that? The people of the Gao family shouldn't think like this, and they can't do this, people are our people, and how the Xu family treats his people is Xu Shaoyan's business, but I don't allow the people of the Gao family to be so vicious, it's not something that a person can do. ”

Gao Mingyang's face flushed: "I'm also anxious, don't take it seriously." ”

Gao Mingtang said solemnly: "You remember, even if you and my brother failed to revive the Gao family, it is because you and I are incompetent, I can't control how people from other families treat their own people, and I don't have that much ability to manage, but the people of the Gao family, regardless of whether they are surnamed Gao or not, doing things for the Gao family is the Gao family, if something happens, you and my brother can shoulder the blame, but the people you and I can protect should try to protect as much as possible." ”

Gao Mingyang nodded: "I remember." ”

Gao Mingtang said: "The legacy of our ancestors of the Gao family cannot be forgotten. ”

Gao Mingyang said: "Don't dare to forget." ”

Gao Mingtang said seriously: "We want to revive the Gao family, firstly, because as the descendants of the Gao family, we can't watch the decline of the Gao family, that is your and my sin, and second, now we look at Daning in a period that may be dangerous, if something really happens to Your Majesty, the second prince is young, we have to protect Daning well." ”

He looked at Gao Mingyang's eyes and said: "We want to fight for power, but we can't do anything rebellious, nor can we do treason, fighting for power is our own business, it's a family matter, if someone sees the struggle for power as anti-Your Majesty, then the people of the Gao family will not agree, I don't approve of Xu Shaoyan's work, but there must be someone in front of him, and now he may not be able to stand it, so give up." ”

He said seriously: "Just now I said that the first is to break the line on the Xu family's side and send our people out of Chang'an, and the second is to ...... I will send someone to contact Dou Huainan, and arrange for the master of the family to secretly protect Dou Huainan's safety, after Dou Huainan returns to Gyeonggi Province, there are more people who want to move him, find someone to approach him and become friends with him, and protect him, if he will be reactivated in the end, we will arrange the people in the past will have a miraculous effect, maybe we can save the Gao family. ”

Gao Mingyang said: "Listen to you, you are too rough, and you are easy to act impulsively, if there is anything in the future, you can just let me do it." ”

"You."

Gao Mingtang sighed: "You know your own problems, but you just don't change them." ”

Gao Mingyang smiled wryly: "Isn't it that you have always been there since I was a child." ”

Gao Mingtang said: "Now there is one more thing for you to do, after the people we contacted with the Xu family have been sent away, you go to meet the young people we selected, and now the list of people recommended to enter the East Palace has been determined, and it is estimated that it has been presented to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will remember these people...... You talk to them and tell them that once they enter the East Palace, they should be low-key and do things, and they are not allowed to get close to the second prince, just complete their own duties. ”

Gao Mingyang was stunned: "Why is this?" The people who finally arranged it to get in, if they deliberately distanced themselves......"

"They're scrapped."

Gao Mingtang shook his head: "It is impossible to be reused, so we have to choose a group of people, the goal of the first batch of people sent to the East Palace was originally to get close to the second prince and become the second prince's cronies, but now we have to change it, this first batch of people no longer aims to become the second prince's cronies, the value of their existence is to pave the way for the second group of people, as long as they do their part, don't show the mountain dew, the more low-key the better." ”

Gao Mingyang nodded: "I know, I will explain to them." ”

"Don't tell them what I've said."

Gao Mingtang sighed: "It's the Gao family who is sorry for these young people, and I'll think about how to compensate for it in the future." ”

After saying this, Gao Mingtang got up: "Go home and go separately." ”

Gao Mingyang snorted: "I know." ”

At the same time, the Xu family.

After Xu Shaoyan and the other guests left, he returned to the study, his face was ugly as if he had just eaten a dead fly, he sat down in the study, angry and worried, looked at the people in the house cleaning up the table, and waved his hand after a moment of silence: "Go out first, let Mr. Jingya come in." ”

The subordinates hurriedly withdrew, and after a while, the person known as Mr. Jingya walked into the door quickly, looked at Xu Shaoyan's face and probably understood what was going on, just now he had also gotten the news, as one of the most important people around Xu Shaoyan to give advice, in fact, Xu Shaoyan didn't listen to much of his words, the situation he was facing at this moment, he had already told Xu Shaoyan a long time ago, he reminded Xu Shaoyan not to underestimate Your Majesty, whoever underestimated Your Majesty will suffer, There are not many people in this world who can be opponents with His Majesty.

"Mr. Jingya."

As soon as Xu Shaoyan saw him come in, he hurriedly stood up: "I regret that I shouldn't have listened to you, now that things have become very tricky, please ask Mr. Jingya to save the Xu family." ”

In fact, Xu Shaoyan has not figured out the origin of Mr. Jingya, or he is not so particularly convinced, he was not very happy when he took this person in, he just thought that it was just one more person to eat, and the Xu family did not lack this food money.

When Mr. Jingya came, he was holding an IOU that was so old that it seemed to be shattered at any time, Xu Shaoyan had also heard of this IOU, but who could tell the truth from the fake after hundreds of years.

The IOU reads...... Xu Ji borrowed a clever plan from Mr. Jingya Li Shangong, and in the future, Mr. Shangong's descendants will have no worries about food and clothing.

This IOU was hundreds of years old, and the people may still remember an almost mythical story when they mention it...... At that time, it was the great chaos in the world, Chu could no longer maintain the Central Plains, and the rebels were rampant everywhere, and the strong enemy Heiwu in the north raised troops to the south after learning of the civil strife in Chu and attacked the northern Xinjiang.

His Majesty Emperor Taizu of Daning is leading the army to fight, after hearing the news, he personally led the army to aid the Chu army in northern Xinjiang, the battle was extremely tragic, and it took countless subordinates to block the black warriors from the country, but at this time, several other righteous troops took advantage of the emptiness in the rear of His Majesty Taizu to come to sneak attack, at that time, more than half of the troops under the command of Emperor Taizu were in the hands of Taizu's sworn brothers, and his sworn brothers were leading the army to the south.

Xu Ji was ordered to lead less than 10,000 men and horses to fight against more than 100,000 rebels from all walks of life, if this battle was lost, Emperor Taizu's back road would be cut off, and I was afraid that even Emperor Taizu would be difficult to fight out of the encirclement alive.

Xu Ji was worried at the time, at this time, a Mr. Yunyou entered his military camp, saying that he had a strategy to break the enemy, in that case, Xu Ji did not believe that a person who traveled to break the enemy really had any strategy, but he also went to the doctor when he was sick, so he saw him, this person called himself Mr. Jingya, named Li Shangong.

His ancestors are very famous, that is, the idler who once wrote the first idle book in the rivers and lakes, the idler with a complex identity retired in his later years, opened a private school to teach, but the disciples were not a child, they were all young people in their twenties, and it was not a sensation at that time, and it was only twenty years after his death that people were surprised to find that several important ministers of the Chu State came from that private school.

At the beginning, Mr. Jingya found Xu Ji and said that he had to go to the hexagram book of his ancestors, and the hexagram book was written clearly, and he deduced that the Great Chu was in chaos, and after 20 years of war, the world returned to Ning, at that time, no one thought that this Ning word would be the meaning of Ningguo, and Xu Ji also thought that this Ning word was the meaning of returning to peace, and the world would return to calm after 20 years of chaos.

Mr. Jingya said that his descendants would encounter a crisis, so he had to turn to a nobleman to do it, and Mr. Jingya wanted to go north to see Emperor Taizu, but he was stopped by the big war and couldn't get by, so he had to come to see Xu Ji.

He gave Xu Ji a strategy to break the enemy at that time, who would have thought that Xu Ji would really rely on this strategy to divide and disintegrate the coalition army of hundreds of thousands of enemies, and strive to ensure that Emperor Taizu would not lose his way back.

So Xu Ji wrote an IOU to Mr. Jingya at that time, and said that no matter how many years have passed, as long as Mr. Jingya's descendants come to the Xu family with this IOU, the descendants of the Xu family will be treated favorably.

Hundreds of years have passed, how could Xu Shaoyan have imagined that one day there would really be a person who claimed to be Mr. Jingya with this IOU?

An IOU has been preserved for hundreds of years, which shows that the Li family is also extremely precious.

At this moment, Xu Shaoyan thought that his ancestor became famous because of that battle and was regarded as a brother by Emperor Taizu, in the final analysis, because of Mr. Jingya's clever plan, and now that the Xu family is at the time of life and death, there is still a Mr. Jingya by his side...... Isn't this providential?
