"What's the explanation? Who is this world, does the emperor still need your and my consent to appoint the first assistant of the cabinet? Don't forget what the emperor said, we can take what he gave us, and we can't grab what he doesn't give us. ”

Luo Quan blew his beard and glared, this Luo Hong is his son, this Luo Xin is also his son, and the palms and backs of his hands are full of meat.

But even if the empire has changed so far, the concept of this concubine has not changed much, they are characters from the era of Xiao Wenxuan, and it is even more impossible to easily let go of the concept that affects their life.

The ideas pursued by the empire were now more quickly adopted by children who had just entered school.

Luo Hong staggered to his feet, his eyes were slightly red, "Dad, from Chang'an to Qingzhou, the child followed all the way to beat King Wei, then King Yan, and then King Zhao, even if there is no merit, there is always this hard work, so what credit does Zhu Sansi have, just go to fight a Yaxa, do you say that the child can not be aggrieved?" The child is more than 40 years old this year, and now he cannot be promoted to the commander of the military region, and his career ends here. ”

Luo Quan opened his mouth to say something, but finally he sighed, and he said: "It's all my father's fault, I should have let you come to Qingzhou back then, in this way, the commander of this military region is yours, as the son of the Luo family, my father does owe you too much." “

Luo Hong was stunned for a moment, woke up drunk, lowered his head and groaned for a long time, he sighed deeply, "Father, is this matter over?" If this is the case, then wouldn't the courtiers led by Pang Yukun not take us seriously more and more. “

Luo Quan's brows furrowed, and he said vigilantly: "Then what do you want to do?"

"A few days ago, Fei Tong had been drinking with the child, during which he mentioned that his eldest son was not yet married, and the implication was to intermarry with our Luo family, and the child thought to himself that the little girl Susu is also sixteen this year, which is the time for marriage, if it is done, it is also a beautiful thing." Luo Hong said loudly.

"Feitong? Are you talking about Fei Ge's nephew Fei Tong? “

"Exactly, if the Luo family and the Fei family marry, with the strength of the two families, the emperor will have to pay attention to us, father, this is also for the sake of our Luo family's children and grandchildren, in the past, we fought with the emperor, and it was good to work together, but now that the country is stable, it is time to think about it, even if the emperor misses the old, but this Pang Yukun and others may not be able to tolerate us."

Luo Hong continued, Luo Quan is old, and the position of the head of the Luo family will be his, and now he is already thinking about it with the thoughts of the Luo family.

Luo Quan was a little hesitant, he knew very well that Xiao Ming was not Xiao Wenxuan, and he was not even as easy to figure out as any king in history.

He couldn't be sure what the repercussions would be caused by doing so, but throughout the ages, it was always right that the heirs of the Luo family could not take the daughter of an ordinary person as a wife, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with marrying the Fei family.

Seeing that Luo Quan was a little hesitant, Luo Hong said directly: "What is my father still hesitating about, this Pang Shoufu is much more shrewd than his father, it is said that he intends to let his son marry the granddaughter of General Niu Ben." ”

Hearing this, Luo Quan closed his eyes, everything that happened now made Niu Ben right, and it was because of this that the two of them chose to retire at this juncture and no longer care about the affairs of the court.

In fact, he knew very well that the contradictions in the court would break out sooner or later, and the more stable the country, the faster it would erupt, especially after the defeat of the barbarians, the threat of the deep-rooted north was gone.

But at the same time, the will of everyone to unite and fight the country is gone, and all that remains is the contradictions that have been covered up in the rapid development of the past decade.

Now every important official is now looking for his own position, either neutrality, or choosing to hold a group for fire, or go alone.

"The position of the patriarch of the Luo family is yours, how to choose yourself, but there is one thing, the court is a field of interests, it is excusable for you to fight for me, and the emperor is also happy to see the ministers fighting back and forth, so that his throne will become more and more stable, but there is one thing, you must not do anything that touches the imperial power." Luo Quan said sharply.

"Father, the child doesn't have the courage, the commander of this military region can't do it, can't the child want to find a good place for his daughter?"

Luo Hong took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one and began to swallow the clouds.

Luo Quan's brows furrowed more and more when he saw this, power is enough to change a person, and now this sentence is deeply reflected in Luo Hong's body.

He understands that his eldest son is a man who likes to drill the horns of the bull, and is especially obsessed with power, and he has been fighting in the north and south all these years in order to catch up with his younger brother, but in the end his efforts have come to naught, perhaps this is the root cause of his loss.

And from this point, he seems to understand why the emperor chose Luo Xin instead of Luo Hong as the commander of the military region.

The emperor's secret guards are all over the country, and it is impossible not to know a little about important generals, perhaps Luo Hong's dedication to power made Xiao Ming choose Luo Xin.

Thinking of this, he looked at Luo Hong again and said, "Remember, you are shouldering the lives of thousands of people in the Luo family, don't hurt others because of your own gains and losses." “

After that, he turned around and left, now it belongs to the world of young people, and it is time for an old man like him to give way, after all, he can't accompany these young people all the way.

The Imperial Study.

Xiao Ming was reading a telegram, since the appearance of the wired telegram, he deliberately left a telegraph room in the side hall on the side of the imperial study.

In this way, the information of the secret guards can be transmitted to him at any time.

During this time, the speed of cable telegraph laying is very fast, now Qingzhou east to Dengzhou, south to Youzhou, west to Jizhou, south to Xuzhou line has been laid, it is estimated that most of the cities in Jiangbei can be connected to telegraph by the end of the year.

For this convenient intelligence transmission system, of course, he handed it over to the secret guards as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty, there is this, now the commanders of the six military regions are all in Lu Fei's mansion." Qian Dafu sent a translated telegram to Xiao Ming.

"These guys don't know how to keep a low profile, and it is estimated that someone will impeach them soon." Xiao Ming said helplessly.

Qian Dafu echoed; "That's right, the commanders of the six military regions are together, and others still think they are going to rebel?"

"It's not going to be, Zhu Sansi happened to be passing by." Xiao Ming picked up another telegram, which was written very clearly.

Then he picked up another telegram, "It says that Zhu Sansi and Luo Xin have a verbal conflict, it seems that I chose Zhu Sansi correctly." ”

"Aren't there five of them?" Qian Dafu asked.

Xiao Ming laughed, "That's right, it's not normal for them to get together, and it's not normal for them to get together, which means that they have a tacit understanding between them." ”
