Xie Jia

In the quiet room of the main courtyard, Xie's father and son were playing chess, and all the servants in the room withdrew.

Xie Mingtang and Xie Zhan sat opposite each other, one holding white stones and the other playing black stones.In the entire quiet room, there was no other sound except the sound of falling sons.

After an unknown amount of time, Xie Mingtang dropped a white stone and asked the eldest son of Yushu Linfeng, "What do you think of what happened at the court today?"

Xie Zhan was obsessed with a black stone and looked at the three suitable positions on the chessboard, without saying a word, his eyes looked at the chessboard, as if he was troubled by something.

Xie Mingtang didn't rush, just waited patiently.

All the images in Xie Zhan's mind were finally fixed on the scene that day when Lu Songli slapped the manager of Zhao's house with a slap, and he finally decided on his seat.He was still a little uncertain when he moved the pieces, but as the pieces got closer to the board, the strength of his moves became more and more firm.

After the son settled down, Xie Zhan said, "The Zhao family has been going smoothly for too long, and they underestimate the enemy too much."

Xie Mingtang nodded. It is true that Lu Desheng, a big troll in the past, was so angry that he had never touched anyone from the Zhao family, and of course, he had never touched anyone from the Xie family.This was the first time Zhao Wenkuan faced Lu Desheng's attack directly, and it was a disastrous defeat.

"It's one thing for the Zhao family to underestimate the enemy, but isn't Lu Desheng too dangerous?"

It stands to reason that the stronger the in-laws are, the happier they will be, rather than worrying.Xie Mingtang's words were actually probing, and he was also worried about how the Xie family should deal with such an uncontrollable person when the Lu family stood against the Xie family one day.As the saying goes, there are no permanent enemies, and there are no permanent friends.

In the past, when faced with similar questions from his father, Xie Zhan was usually silent.Because he felt there was no need to discuss it.Because of Lu Songli's original temperament, the possibility of the Lu family being willing to withdraw is very low.That being the case, the Lu family will be his Yue family, and he will not let the Lu family and the Xie family have the possibility of turning against each other.

Facing the elder son's silence, Xie Mingtang is already used to it.His old father often told him in the later years before his death that Xie Zhan, the eldest grandson, was the one most like him among all his descendants.Possessing a lot of high-quality qualities, seeing the details and knowing the work, being meticulous in thinking, making decisions before making decisions, is really Xie Jiaqilin's son.Now, it is only a matter of time for him to read a lot of books, learn a lot, and become a minister.With Xie Zhan in the Xie family, there will be no worries for at least three generations.This was not only said in front of him, but also several elders who are currently in charge of the Xie family have heard of it.Because of this sentence, the family spared no effort in cultivating Xie Zhan.

Such a good person has such a marriage, and many people in the clan are dissatisfied with it.But since this marriage was arranged by his father, he didn't say anything.

As one of the heads of the family, Xie Mingtang knew more and was even more dissatisfied with this marriage.His son is so good, he hopes that his son will also have a good son in the future.He knew that his father's decision to marry his son to the Lu family was also due to compulsion, and he might not be sincerely satisfied with the Lu family.

In fact, the Xie family had plenty of ways to force the Lu family to voluntarily resign.But after the eldest son Xie Zhan realized this, he repeatedly stopped him and warned him to restrain his clansmen and not to attack the Lu family.It is said that Lu Desheng is very sensitive.The geese leave traces, as long as they do something, there is no guarantee that they will not be found out.He has listened to these words, and has done so in these years.

Now that the Zhao family stepped in, it gave the Xie family another choice without damaging their reputation.When the Zhao family found him, he was moved, but his son was still unshakable.

Just when Xie Mingtang thought it was impossible to wait for his son to speak this time like before, Xie Zhan said, "Father, don't worry too much. Lu Desheng is just a knife in the hands of the Holy Master. The reason why Lu Desheng's impeachment is effective Well, obviously the Holy Majesty has long been dissatisfied with their Zhao family, but the Holy Majesty took advantage of the situation through Lu Desheng."

Xie Mingtang was overjoyed by the loosening or change of his son's attitude, and he knew what it meant, but he was deeply worried immediately, "Lu Desheng's knife is too sharp, it can burn people. "

He had to worry about this, Lu Desheng was like a raging fire, and it was very uncontrollable, he worried that one day, this fire would burn on Xie's family.Compared with the Zhao family, their Xie family's buttocks are probably not much cleaner. If Lu Desheng turned his gun on the Xie family, it would be a disaster.

Xie Zhan shook his head, and said, "Lu Desheng is nothing to be afraid of. The Lu family is that rootless duckweed. It looks like a huge force, but it only plays an extraordinary role in a specific position. In fact, it is not difficult to get rid of him."

Xie Mingtang asked, "How to say? What method?"

Xie Zhan spit out two words lightly, "Praise and kill!"

"Tell me carefully." Xie Mingtang signaled him to continue.Didn't the son himself say it just now?Lu Desheng is the sword in the hands of the emperor, and now they want to abolish his sword, will the emperor be happy?

Seeing his father like this, Xie Zhan frowned slightly, it seems that Lu Desheng really put a lot of pressure on his father, this is not acceptable.

"Father, have you analyzed the reason why Lu Desheng is so powerful? It's not difficult to get rid of him by targeting the reason."

"Lu Desheng's power lies in his mouth!" Xie Mingtang said in a disdainful tone, but he had to admit in his heart that Lu Desheng has two brushes when it comes to impeaching people.

"It's just that his knife is sharp and easy to use. These are just superficial reasons. Another reason is that the emperor needs a knife, and he is only loyal to his own knife."

Xie Mingtang knew what his son said was right, if the emperor didn't need it, then no matter how sharp the knife was, the emperor wouldn't use it.

"Father, there are many people who hate Lu Desheng in the court, right?"

"Much, even if you don't hate him or like him, if the emperor hadn't protected him, it would be hard for him to have a place in the court."

"Those people should belittle him and suppress him in front of the emperor, right? But no matter what those people say, the emperor has always protected him, right?"

"exactly!"

Xie Zhan pointed out, "So, they wanted to deal with Lu Desheng, but the direction was wrong from the beginning."

People have a rebellious mentality. There are so many officials in the court who always want to touch Lu Desheng. For the emperor, the more you oppose my people, the more I will protect him. I don't believe that I can't protect a single subject.

If Lu Songli was here, she would also agree with his point of view. The current situation of her father and the emperor is that the stronger the external force given to them by the courtiers, the more they will form a group to resist.

"Wrong direction?"

"The current Lu Desheng is one with the emperor. If you deal with him, you are dealing with the emperor."

Xie Mingtang's eyebrows relaxed when he heard that, "Son, I understand a little bit." He suddenly realized at this moment, no wonder they felt headaches when they dealt with Lu Desheng.

"Therefore, the first step in dealing with Lu Desheng is to separate him from the emperor, and get rid of his "sword" characteristics. The second is not to ignore the emperor's needs, and not to leave the emperor without a sword. When the emperor adapts With the new 'knife', it will be easy to deal with Lu Desheng." Xie Zhan gently made the last move, and then ended the game.

"Good strategy!" Xie Mingtang applauded in surprise.

He didn't expect that the problem that had troubled him for a long time was actually solved by the eldest son in a few words.Looking at the elder son who was sitting across from him with a calm temperament and sharp tactics, he couldn't help feeling full of pride in his heart. He was indeed the eldest son he had placed high hopes on.

If Lu Songli and Xie Zhan heard each other's conversation with their respective fathers at this moment, they would definitely be surprised and be on guard against each other.

Their analysis of Lu Yushi was similarly penetrating, and the methods of dealing with him were similar, they were almost hitting him seven inches. Lu Songli directly simplified it into specific steps, while Xie Zhan was in the spirit of giving pointers and guidance. , Tell his father more deeply.
