The whole world is an NPC

Chapter 104

Old Hou Ye sat alone in the empty study, looking at the documents on the table and thinking.What the granddaughter said just now shocked him a lot.He finally understood that the hatred between the two sons was so deep that it could not be resolved.The second son refused to let the eldest son go, and now the eldest son's family also refused to let the second son go.

In a daze, he thought of the scene when the two sons loved each other and played together when they were young.When exactly did the two sons start to look like enemies?
After thinking for a while, he still couldn't remember.He only remembered the horror in his heart when he found out that the second son had sent someone to frame the eldest son for the first time.He tried his best to cover it up.Since then, the two sons have fought harder and harder.

The old Hou Ye has been hesitant. On the one hand, he wants to let the eldest son succeed according to the family tradition, on the other hand, he loves the second son to be obedient and filial, and protects him intentionally or unintentionally and gives him a chance.The result, of course, is that the elder son became more and more silent in front of him, no longer as caring as he was when he was a child.And the second son is more and more considerate, and he handles things more and more properly.Under such circumstances, Old Hou Ye would inevitably prefer the filial second son.

This made the second son even more ruthless.The eldest son was forced to avoid harm and run away.Under the situation of hesitation, the old Hou Ye thought that the eldest son would leave, and the conflict might be eased, so he acquiesced to this result.

Unexpectedly, the eldest son was promoted to master again, and the Marquis's heart changed again, and he began to protect his eldest son.This made the second son anxious and acting more and more unscrupulously.

Now Xueying has been promoted to a master, and has clearly shown her hostility towards her second uncle.Old Hou Ye had to think about it seriously.The eldest son is alone, and he can still hold back.With Xueying's help, it will be difficult for him to suppress his eldest son.

As Xueying said, things can't be dragged on any longer.No matter what it was, he had to make a decision.Continuing to stand on the side of the second son, he must fight the eldest son and granddaughter Xueying.Even if he succeeds, kill the eldest son and Xueying, and let the second son take over.so what?Can the second son's family produce two more masters?Even if it can, how long will it take?Isn't it stupid to kill two masters in the family by yourself?What's more, he might not be able to beat Xueying now.

If the second son is given up, he will immediately have two masters available.The prosperity of the family is in sight.A family of three masters, with concerted efforts, who can stop it?After much deliberation, the old Hou Ye let out a long sigh, and in the end he was cruel and chose to give up his second son.

After seeing off the second uncle's family, Mother Yang went to the study next to her and knocked on the door.

Lord Hou asked impatiently, "Who?"

"Master! It's me!" Mother Yang replied respectfully.

Lord Hou was silent for a while, and said, "Come in!"

He knew that his wife had come to inquire about the news for the second son, and that the old wife was in charge of everything in the backyard, so he had to discuss clearly with her about the establishment of the son.

When Mother Yang came in, seeing Lord Hou's expression, she cried out in her heart that something was wrong.The old Hou Ye's expression was terribly serious. After decades of marriage, she had only seen such a serious Hou Ye three times.

Once, the Chile barbarians invaded on a large scale, attacking all the way to the city of Luocheng.Once, when Lord Hou learned that his father-in-law died in battle, he took over as Marquis of Wu'an.The third time Lord Hou presided over the ancestor worship ceremony in person, and ordered the clansmen to drive his second brother out of the long room and set up another branch.

"You came just in time! Close the door, I want to tell you something." Master Hou said seriously.

Mother Yang obediently dismissed the maid and mother-in-law who followed her, closed the door, and walked to her husband anxiously.Seeing that the tea on the table was getting cold, she planned to replace it with a cup of hot tea for her husband.

"I've decided, Li Tianhua is your son." Lord Hou said without question.

Mother Yang's heart trembled, her hands stopped unconsciously, and she turned around and asked, "Where's Erlang?"

The Marquis muttered: "Let him go to Xuecheng to stay for a while, so that the boss and his family can calm down."

Yang's mother lost her voice: "What mistake did Erlang make to banish him to such a remote place?"

Hou Ye frowned and stared at Yang's mother, Yang's mother flinched.Only then did she remember that the elders had stayed in that kind of place for many years.

She changed her words and said, "Master, I think Erlang is pretty good, so there's no need for this?"

"The son's affairs have to be resolved. These years, because of this matter, the clan has become more and more troublesome. I have thought about it for so many years, and I can see it clearly. The boss is excellent in military affairs. The second loves to do tricks and make good friends with others. The boss pays attention to rules and regulations, while the second child ignores the rules and does things unscrupulously. The boss can share the joys and sorrows with his subordinates. The family members are tolerant and benevolent, but the second child is jealous of external and internal, employing people like weapons." Hou Ye said slowly.

Mother Yang was startled when she heard that, she didn't expect her husband, who had been keeping silent all along, to have such a view on the two sons.

"Officially speaking, the second child has a wide range of friends and many personal connections. They seem to respond to everything, but they are all friends of interest. The eldest brother does not have many friends, but they are all capable people. They have deep friendships and can continue to help him when he is in trouble. If If defeated, the eldest son will lose his official position and still have a chance to rise again, while the second eldest son will inevitably die and his clan will be destroyed. From a military point of view, Marquis Wu'an has a heavy responsibility. The battle on the grassland will never end, and the conspiracy will eventually be discovered. The boss can If you are defeated but not in chaos, you can persist for a long time. At worst, you can survive until the court sends reinforcements. Once the second brother is defeated, it will be unstoppable. For the Ye family's military plan, it is safe for the first brother to be the commander-in-chief."

Speaking of this, Lord Hou paused for a moment, and then said: "From the perspective of the family, the boss is in the position, and the clansmen can still maintain it. The boss is kind-hearted, and will always take care of them and give them a way to survive. Once the second child takes the position, he will go along with it." Chang, rebels perish, and those who are useless to him will be abandoned. Most of the clan will have no way to make a living. For the long-term plan of the family, the eldest is handsome, and the second is assistant. It is best for their brothers to complement each other. But now, their brothers Incompatible, we had to let the second child leave."

Lord Hou spoke slowly, clearing his thoughts while talking, and strengthened his determination to make the eldest son his son.

Mother Yang's heart sank to the point where she heard her husband's determination.He murmured: "Then there's no need for Erlang to go to that kind of place and suffer."

Seeing the distressed look of the old wife, Hou Ye softened his heart, and then hardened his heart, saying: "If he doesn't want to go to Xuecheng, he can set up another branch and develop elsewhere."

Mother Yang's eyes lit up when she heard that, yes!With Erlang's talents, where can he not stand out?With her in the Hou's mansion, Erlang can continue to help Erlang, and Erlang may not be unable to make great achievements and become a marquis and general.It's better than going to Syracuse and suffering.

"Second brother is close to you, go and talk to him!" Hou Ye said while holding the tea that his old wife had just made.

Seeing that the matter was irreversible, Mother Yang had no choice but to agree in a low voice.
