Dressed as the cannon fodder who died prematurely, I will marry the villain in anger

Zhao Fu

Since Zhao Wenkuan was impeached by Lu Desheng and was demoted by half a rank, he has been ignored by Emperor Kang Cheng for a few days.Therefore, Emperor Kang Cheng took his valued minister Weifu to visit Hongsheng Restaurant privately, and naturally he did not have his share.On the contrary, it was the Xie family, because Emperor Kang Cheng saw that they were inexplicably pleasing to the eye because of the loss of a minister of Dali Temple, and then brought Xie Mingtang with him.

It's not that he can't go by himself, but after thinking about it, let's forget it, and carefully charge him with spying on the emperor's trace.

He couldn't be there in person, which filled him with regret.So he waited quietly at home.

Fan Quan was demoted to nothing by Lu Desheng, and then rejected by the emperor. Even Zhang Yong's personal recommendation failed to make the emperor change his mind. House trip.

At this time, the nanny next to Luo Shi came to invite him to the courtyard of his fourth son Zhao Bin, saying that Zhao Bin was making a hysterical row after receiving the news of Hongsheng Restaurant, and asked him to go and have a look.

Zhao Wenkuan was impatient. These days, his son would make a fuss almost every day. From being nervous and caring at the beginning, he became impatient now.

I'm going out for a while, and I'll go see him again when I come back, and ask my wife to persuade him more.

When Zhao Wenkuan arrived at Xie's house, he found that it was his son-in-law Xie Zhan who had received him.

The two moved into the chamber for a conversation.

After the servants served tea and left, Zhao Wenkuan silently looked at his son-in-law opposite him.

Zhao Wenkuan could feel that the Xie family was subtly changing power recently.

Because the failure to jointly recommend Lu Desheng last time caused the Xie family to lose the position of Minister of Dali Temple, his future son-in-law has become stronger, and now he is gradually taking over the power of the Xie family, while Xie Mingtang quietly retreats behind the scenes.In fact, this is also good, Xie Zhan is his son-in-law after all, and the relationship between Weng and son-in-law is relatively close.

After Xie Zhan signaled him to explain his intentions, Zhao Wenkuan couldn't wait to say, "Ah Zhan, I know the result of Hongsheng Restaurant, but is there really nothing we can do with the Lu family?" Zhao Wenkuan really couldn't accept the slap in the face by the fifth-rank official.Not to mention how many resources the Zhao family had exchanged in order to get the Xie family to take action.This result was too disappointing for him.

"This result is expected, and Uncle Zhao knows it."

"You're smart, think of other ways. Ah Bin is your brother-in-law, he was beaten by Lu Songli and Qin Sheng, and he was insulted by them in that way, but we have nothing to do with them ! I know this is my incompetence as a father, but this is also your face, isn't it?"

Xie Zhan rubbed his forehead, "First of all, we have already contested with the Lu family and the Qin family regarding Zhao Bin's matter, and then lost." At least at this stage, they lost.The Xie family also compensated a Dali Temple Minister for this.As for the follow-up, he doesn't want to start the war lightly for the time being.

Zhao Wenkuan answered immediately, "If we lose once, we will win a big one!" Everything came back!

Xie Zhan coldly rejected his suggestion, "I have decided to have a truce with the Lu family, and I will not take the initiative to be an enemy of the Qin family and the Lu family. The Lu family also agreed."

He is mature and sensible enough to be a born statesman, as his grandfather praised him.

People who are in charge of politics have to have a big picture. They can't just focus on the losses of a city or a place. They need to see the overall situation. Once a battle has been lost, they can't get entangled in it. In particular, they must avoid continuing to invest resources in it continuously.Otherwise, it becomes a swamp, an abyss into which it drags itself completely.

As the head of the house, stop the loss in time, abandon the car to protect the handsome, and make choices, which are the decisive abilities that every qualified head of the house should possess.

"What?" Zhao Wenkuan couldn't believe that Xie Zhan reached such a consensus with the Lu family so quickly.

"In addition, we need to face up to the fact that the enemy's strength is not weaker than ours."

Xie Zhan's words were very cold and realistic at the same time, like pouring a basin of cold water on Zhao Wenkuan's head, waking up his feverish mind.

"It's very dangerous for us to continue fighting with them. Don't forget that when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits." The lesson from the past is still there. Apart from the Lu family, the Zhao and Xie families have other political enemies.

Zhao Wenkuan didn't speak. Intellectually, he could accept Xie Zhan's decision, but emotionally, it was very difficult to accept.

"Uncle Zhao, don't forget, you have other sons. Are you really going to exhaust the resources of the Zhao family for the useless Zhao Bin?"

Zhao Wenkuan was silent.

If I lose this time, I will try again next time I have a chance.

However, for the sake of face, it is too irrational and crazy to consume resources like this.It is not easy for the family to develop to this day.

For a big family like theirs, face is important or not. When choosing between strength and face, the most important thing is always strength.

It would be unwise to blindly consume one's strength for the sake of the so-called face.Face can be won back with strength, if you lose strength, you will never get back face.

"When we fight with the Lu family, we will lose both sides, and it is also the most dangerous time for our two families. Are you sure you want to gamble?" After analyzing the pros and cons, Xie Zhan handed over the choice to Zhao Wenkuan.

Zhao Wenkuan was silent for a long time in the meeting room, and finally he did not insist on making trouble for the Lu family.

Before he left, Xie Zhan handed over his investigation of Zhao's backyard to him.

After Zhao Wenkuan took it, he looked down and saw that his face was red and white at the same time.

Xie Zhan finally said, "If the Zhao family had sent Zhao Bin to Zhuangzi or other places for recuperation earlier, maybe his condition would be better than now." Now Zhao Bin is basically useless.The Zhao family can only support him, expecting him to do something for the family, that is impossible, except for having children.

But his words may not necessarily come true. With Lu Songli's cruelty, even if Zhao Bin is sent to a faraway place, she can get someone to mess with Zhao Bin until he collapses.

Messing with such a person is really a great disadvantage to the two of them.

Hearing this, Zhao Wenkuan paused before leaving without looking back.

Xie Zhan knew that what he said was a bit of an afterthought, and meant to pour cold water on the Zhao family, but the Zhao family's handling of this matter really made him very dissatisfied.

Zhao Wenkuan returned to Zhao's house angrily, ignored the servant's greetings, went straight to the main courtyard, found Luo Shi, and scolded her head and face.

Bang, he slapped the table loudly, and said angrily, "How do you manage this backyard? Look, look, anyone can reach out to our backyard, are you a pig? Not at all aware?"

When the future son-in-law handed him the results of the investigation, he saw Zhao's backyard like a sieve, and was pointed out by his son-in-law that anyone could have a hand in his backyard. Zhao Wenkuan felt ashamed and wished he could There's a crack in the ground for him to get in!
