Chapter 230 Family Business Surnamed Chu

In the evening, several strange guests came in the Star Picking Building. As soon as they entered the restaurant, the diners present couldn't help staring at them, and the chopsticks put on their mouths stopped.

There are several male guests, who are too handsome, too ugly, or cold or silent. In short, they are not ordinary people. Shi Ke, the shopkeeper, knows one of them. He is one of Chu Tianya's personal guards, Liuhe. He just brought the others back from the outside.

The Qingwei that Chu Tianya is going to take away is all in place. Handsome and handsome Liuhe, the first assassin Xuanwu, gentle scholar Gou Chen, big fat sky, Hongquan master snake. In addition, there are seven rosefinches and nobles who left early. The remaining five people will not leave.

Several people arrived in Chu Tianya's room, and the sisters Xiaofei and Taichang Taiyin were still there. Chu Tianya sealed the letter to the leaders and gave them to Xiaofei, asked him to send them to the leaders one by one, and then told Taichang Taiyin some small things about Xiao Linglong's living habits and let them take good care of them.

Soon after, Yao Gu was also ready and went to the Star Picking Tower to meet Chu Tianya. He took two sergeant companions with him, all dressed as short-sergeants, and the three of them pretended to be Chu Tianya's entourage together.

"It's getting late. Let's go to Huanglong Valley." Chu Tianya saw that he was ready, so he asked everyone to leave.

When he was about to start, a small ** suddenly came from the lobby of the Star Building. Everyone was suspicious, so they asked Tai often to go out and have a look. When she came back, she looked surprised, "Lord, Princess Xiao is here! I also brought more than a hundred female soldiers with me!"

"Why is she here? Have you brought more than a hundred female soldiers? No wonder there is ** downstairs!" Chu Tianya was also a little surprised. He said to himself that someone must have leaked the wind.

As he spoke, there was already a sound of footsteps at the mouth of the stairs. Xiao Linglong had come up with a group of female soldiers. As he walked, a group of women in military uniforms and knives and jacquard guns made the star-picking building like a military camp. The wine and diners present were both surprised and amazing. They said that when will there be female soldiers in the Song Dynasty? Hey, one by one, it's quite beautiful, and it's a little special! - The leading female general is really beautiful, just like a fairy, but she is dressed in purple and red armor. The great power is not inferior to that of the male general!

Those female soldiers completely ignored the comments and vision of these men and regarded them as air. Several people who drank too much came close to make fun of a female soldier. The female soldier did not dodge nor talk nonsense. She slapped him over without hesitation, and fell to the ground on the spot and couldn't get up.

There was an exclamation in the hall. Xiao Linglong stopped to look back and sneered. The hall was immediately silent again. The shopkeeper's Shi Kequan hurriedly told the drinkers not to be too much trouble, and sent someone to pull away the overturned skin.

Xiao Linglong continued to go upstairs with people.

Chu Tianya's heart was entangled. Look, this style of Xiao Linglong is not good, and she also accompanied the soldiers. Maybe there are her Khitan cavalry and full of female soldiers outside the city.

"You are waiting outside." Chu Tianya sent Qingwei out and opened the door to wait for Xiao Linglong to come in. Yao Gu also avoided it knowingly.

At this time, the military patrols of Taiyuan government are coming. When I first entered the restaurant, I drank loudly. When I entered the door, I was stunned when I saw this style - where is this army?

It's no problem for the official in the government to bully the people, but they don't dare to provoke the real army. But they had never seen such an army, so they were stunned. Shi Kequan hurried up to greet him. The faces of several tolerances turned white. He took the trouble and walked away. As he walked, he slapped their ears and slapped them, but he didn't dare to stay for a moment. The drinkers looked wrong and hurriedly checked out and left.

I can't say, these people have to get a fat beating today. It's not good to provoke anyone, and provoke the role that the magistrate dares not provoke?

Xiao Linglong walked into Chu Tianya's room, and Chu Tianya smiled, "Your Highness, what's going on with such a big show today?"

"I came to catch my man. He ran away from home without saying a word." Xiao Linglong half jokingly and half seriously said, and glanced at the room. There were no idle people, so she turned around and closed the door.

"Oh, what are you doing?" Chu Tianya deliberately smiled relaxedly and said, "I've always been very low-key and don't like to ostentat."

"I like it." Xiao Linglong walked to Chu Tianya with a suly expression and resentment in her eyes.

"Okay, okay, stop it." Chu Tianya hugged her with a smile.

Xiao Linglong's tears suddenly came down, and she punched Chu Tianya in the chest fiercely.

"Say, why don't you say goodbye? Have you ever thought about how I feel?!"

"Ah--"

This punch is really powerful. Chu Tianya covered his chest and shouted pain.

"Ah, are you all right?" Xiao Linglong was shocked and hurried to help him rub his chest.

"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt, it's okay." Chu Tianya was still a hippie smiling face, and he also grabbed Chu Tianya's hand.

"I feel sad..." Xiao Linglong took a deep breath and exhaled heavily, and her eyes were red.

"Don't make it like life and death, okay?" Chu Tianya smiled and said, "I'll go out for a few days and come back right away."

"Nonsense, don't be open-mouthed!" Xiao Linglong stared at Chu Tianya angrily, and the word "death" made her frightened.

"Did Bai Qi or Jiao Wentong tell you?" Chu Tianya still asked with a smile.

Xiao Linglong's face suddenly became more serious. She went to the door and shouted outside, "You all go downstairs and wait!"

"Yes!" The Qingwei and the female soldiers outside the door agreed and even invited Yao Gu and others downstairs. On the second floor of the Star Picking Building, there is no extra person except Chu Tianya and Xiao Linglong.

"What are you doing? Are you so nervous?" Chu Tianya is a little puzzled.

"What do you think I'm here for? Please take me with you, or are you bothering me not to leave?" Xiao Linglong wiped her eyelids, pulled Chu Tianya to sit down together, looked at him seriously and said, "You made a mistake carelessly, do you know?"

"What do you say?" Chu Tianya asked curiously.

"How can you give all the military power to Bai Qi alone?" Xiao Linglong whispered, "I know he is very capable and loyal. But have you ever thought about it? During the period when you leave, everyone will gradually form a habit centered on Baixu. At that time, even if you come back, you will be empty!"

Chu Tianya smiled slightly, "No. I still have this confidence. Why did you suddenly care about this matter?"

"Not suddenly, I've always cared about it." Xiao Linglong said seriously, "How many days have you been the master? Do you really think you can completely control everything? In the past, it was the second brother who fought with you, but he was not your opponent, and he was soon defeated. But in fact, your biggest opponent has always been the second brother, you know?

"Do you mean Baixu?" Chu Tianya smiled and said, "He is my right-hand man."

"That's right. I didn't say that he was unfaithful or dissent. Xiao Linglong said, "But as a master, there are some things to guard against it. Power is very subtle. It's easy for you to release it, but it's not so easy to take it back. Bai Wei was originally a military division in charge of the power of military aircraft. His power and prestige were already very great. Now you still let him exercise full power. Isn't this a complete transition of power to him? There is no one around him who can check and balance him. How can this work? - A monarch from ancient times to the present, who has worked like you?"

Chu Tianya was slightly stunned and fell into meditation.

Xiao Linglong's words are reasonable. In fact, she is not doubting or slandering, but saying to Chu Tianya that the standard for a superior person in dealing with the issue of power decentralisation is not to let her subordinates have a dominant situation, but to create a balance that she can control.

Power makes people yearn for, and it can also make people lost.

No one can guarantee that no matter how good a person is of morality, in the face of power **, in the struggle of all kinds of power, he will not deteriorate or go astray. Power ministers, such as Zhuge Liang, have been rare in ancient and modern times. They are more likely to be beaten back to their original form or die of "high merit", and some of them have really rebelled.

"It's not good for you to do this." Xiao Linglong still said patiently, "The lord's real power or powerful ministers are too inflated, which often means the beginning of infighting. In the current Hedong Rebel Army, you have excessive trust and rely on Baixu, but neglect to cultivate a person who can keep pace with Baixu. If you are here, the situation is better. Everything can be controlled by you. As soon as you leave, all the focus will be transferred to Bai Shi. Have you ever thought about it? The other leaders and soldiers have finally adapted to taking you as the center, and now they have changed it into Bai. Can they adapt in a short time? Will there be an infighting situation where orders are not clear, disobedience, and power competition leads to internal strife? - In addition, when you come back in the future, maybe everyone is used to listening to Bai Xun's orders. Your lord's prestige and orders may not be as useful as Bai Xun's words. What will you think at that time? You will feel that Baixu has seized your power - how many good ministers and loyal ministers have been destroyed in this way? They may not have thought of seizing power, have no ambition, and have always been loyal to the filial piety of the Lord, but it is because their achievements have shocked the Lord, and their prestige and power are higher than those of the Lord, which makes the Lord have a sense of crisis and have to kill them to eliminate the future!"

Chu Tianya took a breath of cold air and looked at Xiao Linglong in surprise.

"Why are you looking at me like this?" Xiao Linglong raised her eyebrows and said, "I'm not instigating you to kill, or alienating your relationship with Bai Xun. I want to remind you that when something like 'high merit' happens, the responsibility is actually more on the lord. Power is a sharp sword, and you must grasp it well. The more you trust someone, the more you should pay attention to whether the power transferred to him is appropriate. Don't decide the power of your subordinates because of your own likes or dislikes. This is very unfair and harmful!"

"I know..." Chu Tianya took a deep breath and looked at Xiao Linglong gratefully, "Fly Fox, you're right. It's my negligence. I'm too inexperienced. My full entrustment to Bai He is the greatest trust in him, and in fact, it is also the greatest harm to him. But changing the coach before the battle is also a big taboo. Xiao Cangshan has always been assisted by me personally. Now who can take up my vacancy?

"The leader of the four major military aircraft, you took Jiao Wentong away. Aren't there still two?" Xiao Linglong said, "Meng De is idle in Xishan. Why don't you use him? Let him take up to your vacancy, and then Baixu still assists from the sidelines. This situation is much better than the uniqueness of Baixu's family. Yes, Meng De's ability is far less than that of Bai Wei, but as long as he can control Bai Wei, isn't he? Because Meng De is your own brother, or the prestige of the founder of Xishan is not in vain. His temperament and mind have always been the most convincing, and everyone in the Rebels is convinced of him. Therefore, everyone will not have any doubts and resistance to Meng De, and Bai Shu will not have any objection!"

"That's right, but I have already told Bai Xun like this. How can I change it morning and night? What will this make Bai Xun think?" Chu Tianya said, "Trusting this thing is like a piece of paper. If it is wrinkled, it can no longer be wiped out. If I change Meng De to replace me for the time being now, I'm afraid..."

"Tianya, for those who do great things, can't stick to this kind of small section." Xiao Linglong said, "I am from the royal family. In my impression, the struggle between politics and power has always been the coldest and most ruthless. If you take care of the overall situation in order to take care of a person's emotions, it is the real woman's benevolence and family spirit, and it is the way to destroy yourself. You are the lord, and Bai Qi is a subordinate. You don't need to explain to him too much about what you do. If Bai Shu can't even accept this, it proves that he is not a good subordinate, or... he really has a different mind!"

Chu Tianya's eyebrows flicked and looked at Xiao Linglong in surprise, "I can't see it, Feihuer, how can you think so deeply? ...I have to admit that my experience in this field is indeed not as good as yours. This time, you reminded me in a timely manner. I think I will ask you, a virtuous assistant, for more advice in the future. There is an old saying that women are born politicians, which is really true!"

Xiao Linglong blinked her eyes and said, "Why didn't I say the old saying? - Tianya, I don't want to fight for power. I never ask you about your military and political affairs. But seeing that you have made such a serious negligence, I have to remind you. How high the position is, how much risk it is. Preventing Wei Dujian is not the same as being suspicious and cruel. If you want to be a wise master, you must practice the 'Royal Art' to the extreme.

"You princess are not in vain!" Chu Tianya smiled, "You know a lot more about things in the officialdom than I do - you came here with a female soldier today. Do you want to show it to someone?"

"Of course, it's for Baixu." Xiao Linglong said, "When you go back to change the order, Bai Xun will know that I advised you to change it. In that case, you won't be blamed. It's just my fault. There are many things that you, as a master, are not convenient to come forward to do, so you can only be done by the people around you. I am willing to bear this notoriety for you. Because of this reputation and resentment, it must not fall on your head. This is also one of the techniques of the emperor!"

"I've been taught, I've been taught!" Chu Tianya held his fist and smiled, "But you and Bai Zhi are the same people from Qixing Village. You are like brothers and sisters. Aren't you afraid to tear your face with him?"

"The public and private are clearly separated. This is different from the past. This must be clearly separated." Xiao Linglong said, "Do you still remember the matter between Guan Shan and Jiao Wentong? They mixed too much personal feelings into business, resulting in a trough, and finally a sad ending. I think such a smart person can be understood. Even if he really hates me, it doesn't matter. I'm a woman. I'm small-minded and have a big temper. I'm going to do this. What can he do?

Chu Tianya laughed, "Well, this is indeed your gender advantage."

"Tianya... I said, I'm no longer a princess Xiao or a Lianzhen star, but your woman, the Qingwei queen who protects the lord!" Xiao Linglong whispered, "I won't interfere in your affairs or restrict your freedom. But when I see that you make a mistake and see that you may bring disaster because of your mistake, I will definitely not be silent. You have many advantages, but after all, you don't have much experience in power struggle. You don't know how much ** and excitement power can bring to people, and you don't know the real dangers of people's hearts. There must be no intention to harm others, but there must be no intention to prevent others. You can't forget things like Fang Wei Dujian at all times. Starting from this matter, I can play the role of a villain around you. If you can't come forward or take action, I can do it. I don't mind if everyone regards me as Queen Lv around you - because you just need someone who dares to do evil!"

"No, this person can't be you." Chu Tianya said decisively.

"Why?" Xiao Linglong frowned.

Chu Tianya stood up, took a few steps with his back and said, "You just taught me to guard against Wei Du Jian. I don't want you to become a person like Queen Lv. I don't even want my woman to be contaminated with anything related to power. I even thought about not letting you lead the army or being the leader.

"Well, I see. Let's talk about leading the soldiers after the war. This is actually just my interest, not really greedy for military power. Xiao Linglong did not argue. She also stood up and walked to Chu Tianya and said, "But remember that light and darkness always complement each other. How open and upright you are, and there are so sinister and vicious people around you to help you do something. It's not convenient for you to do it yourself. This person is not around you yet. So this time, I can only temporarily act as an order. I came with the female soldiers, just to let everyone know that it was Meng De who I moved to Xishan, and then went back to hand over the order to Bai Xun. If he wants to hate me, just hate me!"

Chu Tianya frowned and meditated for a moment, nodded, "Okay."

Power and feelings are sometimes contradictory. It is really difficult to make a choice between the two. Xiao Linglong said, "However, if you blindly succumb to feelings and let power make concessions, it's not far from death."

"Okay, I know. Thank you, Mr. Xiao. The students are really taught this time. Chu Tianya smiled and spread out his pen and paper to start writing. At the same time, he said, "But you have to promise one thing, Mr. Xiao."

Xiao Linglong was also amused, "What's the matter, you say."

"Don't be Queen Lu." Chu Tianya's expression became serious.

"Believe me, I won't." Xiao Linglong smiled and answered sincerely, "But this time after you leave, I will help you stare at Bai Wei. Because what you left behind is not only your painstaking efforts, but also a family business surnamed Chu. I'm your woman and a member of the Chu family. I have this responsibility.

"Staring at Bai Zhuo?" Chu Tianya paused and said suspiciously, "Is there anything else you are hiding from me?"

"No." Xiao Linglong's expression was very calm and said, "I mean, I will always remind my fourth brother Bai how to grasp a 'degree' and master the balance of power between him and Meng De. But don't worry, I won't interfere with any of their decisions and orders unless they hurt you!"

Chu Tianya pondered for a moment, smiled and nodded, "Okay. I can trust Meng De and Bai Shu, and I can trust you even more. You guys won't let me down!"
