Chapter 35 Pull Foreign Aid 2

Entering Xu's Houfu from the middle gate and looking at the familiar grass and trees, it was difficult for Xu Jinghong not to have a lot of emotions in his heart. In the past, I was just a beating and scolding person here, doing the most humble things, but eating the worst food, and even my life did not belong to me. But now, I can look down on everything in front of me. Maybe this is the rotation of feng shui?

There was a faint smile on his face, which made Xu Wanzhen, who led him in, look at it involuntarily. The momentum shown by this young man is so strong that he can't bear the power of a certain family these days. Thinking that the teenager in front of him was a slave of the family a few years ago, he would not take it seriously. This gap also made Xu Wanzhen begin to sigh at the changes of the world.

Suddenly, Xu Jinghong's footsteps stopped, and then looked at the person standing on the other end of the path. When Xu Wanzhen felt it and looked at it, he saw that Xu Shijie, whose family status was much higher than himself, was looking at Xu Jinghong beside him with complicated eyes.

Xu Jinghong still remembers this childhood opponent who always bullied himself with a group of children and even implicated his mother in being insulted. Although after these years of experience, Xu Jinghong's heart can no longer be as narrow as before, and it is impossible to attack on the spot because of the resentment in those years, his eyes still look at Xu Shijie with hostility.

Similarly, when he saw Xu Jinghong enter the house so big, Xu Shijie's heart was also full of hatred. It was this man who finally became disabled, and it was he who finally caused his mother... Although Xu Wanyou tried his best to cover up this matter, there was no way to really hide a few sons. Because both sides can be said to have a hatred for killing their mother, a silky of fire burst out when their eyes met.

"Xu Dusi, please go this way!" Xu Wanzhen waited for a while and found that neither of them had the intention of giving in. He knew that they could no longer look at each other like this, otherwise something would have to happen, so he hurriedly greeted him.

Only then did Xu Jinghong suppress the anger in his heart. He is not here for revenge, but has something bigger to talk about with the Xu family. If he can't cause trouble, he or not. So after taking a breath, he turned his eyes and followed Xu Wanzhen again.

It was not until this time that Xu Shijie relaxed and felt a trance. The look with Xu Jinghong just now actually cost him too much effort. It was not until a long time later that he could recover his heartbeat, but his back was already full of sweat. He has become so powerful that he can give me such a great oppression just by using his eyes..." Thinking of this, Xu Shijie couldn't help shivering in his heart. He knew that it was impossible to fight with Xu Jinghong alone. But depending on the attitude of his family towards him, he feels that it is an impossible task to use the family's strength to revenge on Xu Jinghong...

Entering the main hall, Xu Jinghong saw that Xu Wanyou and some other important figures of the Xu family were among them, which was enough to show that the Xu family attached great importance to his visit this time. He was quite satisfied with this, and a smile appeared on his face: "Xu Shangshu, I suddenly visited today, didn't I bring any inconvenience to you?"

"No..." Xu Wanyou quickly shook his head. Even if he made preparations before, but now under Xu Jinghong's strong aura, his de facto father can't have the attitude of an elder at all. And even he is like this, not to mention others. Everyone does not regard Xu Jinghong as the original him, but as the head of Guoan Division who really has a lot of weight in the court.

"That's the best. I grew up in Hou Mansion. It would be too rude to make you feel uncomfortable because of this. Xu Jinghong laughed and automatically brought up the past. This made others a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say, including Xu Wanyou, all laughing.

At this time, some servants had already held the best Longjing fragrant tea. Taking advantage of this time, everyone's embarrasment was slightly better. But the most difficult thing to do is Xu Wanyou. As Xu Jinghong's biological father and the current owner of the Xu family, he couldn't find anything to break this embarrassing situation for a while. He just kept sweeping the backyard with his spare light, hoping that his father could come quickly. Only he could have a calm chat with Xu Jinghong.

Xu Jinghong also understood the embarrassment of the people in the hall, so he did not say anything that might stimulate their words, but chose some anecdotes in the court to ease the tense situation. Originally, he just said that to completely suppress these people in terms of momentum, but he didn't expect that this was already a way to add to the snake. His previous and current identity alone was enough to make these people restless.

After slightly easing the situation and looking at the greetings and circles, Xu Jinghong picked up the teacup and drank a sip of fragrant tea to moisten his throat and wanted to go straight to the topic. But before he opened his mouth, a young man had spoken before him: "Xu Dusi suddenly came to my house, not just to talk about these irrelevant things, or to show off his power in front of us, right? If you have anything to say, just say it directly, or we have something else to do and can't stay here for a long time.

Xu Jinghong was stunned. He didn't expect that someone here dared not to give himself so much face, so he couldn't help looking up and down at the young man in front of him. In just a few glances, he guessed the identity of the other party. Although he had never seen it many times, he could still see from his appearance that this person was the eldest son or second son of Xu Wanyou.

As if to confirm his judgment, Xu Wanyou immediately scolded with a trace of anger: "Shiying, don't be rude..." Sure enough, he was the young master of the Xu family, Xu Shiying.

For this person, Xu Jinghong has no feelings. Because after he came to this world, there was no intersection with Xu Shiying, because the other party had already passed the age of bullying him, and later he was arranged to become a local official, and there was no time to embarrass him. Therefore, even if he was so contradicted by the other party now, Xu Jinghong was not angry at all, but smiled and said, "What Mr. Xu said is that I should really explain my intention directly. But..." said it as a meal.

"But what?" This question did not come from the people in the hall, but from an old man who had just appeared outside the guest hall - Xu Zhengnian still came.

At this time, Xu Zhengnian was more haggard than the previous days, and his eyes were also a little cloudy. Obviously, the old marquis has reached the last juncture of his life, and he can support it because he is also worried about the descendants of the Xu family.

When everyone saw Xu Zhengnian appear, they stood up one after another, even Xu Jinghong was no exception. He can not recognize everyone else in the Xu family, but he still really admires this grandfather.

With the help of Govich, Xu Zhengnian slowly came to the main seat of the hall. After slowly sitting down, he smiled and said to the crowd, "Everyone sit down." Then, he looked at Xu Jinghong: "Xinghong, tell me what are you still worried about?"

"I thought what I wanted to say was too serious, so it's better for fewer people to know. Grandfather, I wonder if you would let some people who are not enough to avoid it for the time being? When Xu Jinghong said this, he glanced at Xu Shiying intentionally or unintentionally.

Xu Shiying's face suddenly appeared with anger. He was the most promising and highest-ranking person in the young generation of the Xu family, but Xu Jinghong actually listed himself as an unrelated person. How could he accept it? But Xu Zhengnian obviously agreed with Xu Jinghong's view. He pondered for a moment and then named, "Wanyou, Wan Zhen, you two stay with me, and the others should go out for the time being."

"Grandpa..." Xu Shiying wanted to refute as soon as he heard it, but under the strong pressure of his grandfather, he still couldn't say the words behind him. He just stared at Xu Jinghong hatefully and then turned out of the guest hall. When others saw that even the young master was not qualified to stay to listen, they naturally got up and left knowingly.

So far, there are only four of them left in this hall. Xu Jinghong was gratified to find that these people did not stay outside the hall to listen, but walked far away.

"Well, what secrets do you have now, but is it okay to say it?" Xu Wanyou also said angrily. Although he could stay to listen, he was still very dissatisfied to see his cronies at home being kicked out.

Xu Jinghong just smiled indifferently and did not care about his rudeness, and then said, "What I want to say is related to the future survival of the Xu family!" I don't know how many people feel that the Xu family is increasingly marginalized in the court now?

"This is helpless. Thinking about the end of the other five families who are as famous as us, it is lucky that we can stay in the court all the time. Xu Zhengnian said with a wry smile. Then, he looked at Xu Jinghong carefully: "Is there any way for you to change everything in front of you?"

"Yes, I do have such a way. But..." Xu Jinghong paused and continued to say, "My method is very risky. I'm afraid you don't dare to accept it."

"Let's talk about it and see if our Xu family dares to take it!" Xu Wanyou snorted.

Xu Jinghong ignored him, but turned his eyes to Xu Zhengnian. He knew that even if his body was so haggard, he would not care much, but Xu Zhengnian's prestige in the Xu family would not change much. As long as Xu Zhengnian nod, nothing will change.

Xu Zhengnian looked at the decisiveness of his most valued grandson when he said that, and he had vaguely guessed what he was going to say. But he still said, "Oh? What can you think of so that my family can regain the glory of the past? If it is really feasible, it is worth taking some risks.

Seeing what he said, Xu Jinghong naturally had a bottom in his heart. After a little meditation, he lowered his voice and said, "That's up to us to appoint a new heir to the throne!"

Although this sentence was deliberately lowered by Xu Jinghong, there was still a feeling of thunder in the ears of the other three people. The three people's faces changed, and then looked at Xu Jinghong together. Seeing that he said solemnly, they could finally be sure that his words were out of his own heart, and they were by no means casual.

"Designate a new heir to the throne... You mean that your majesty has..." Xu Wanyou did not say his last words.

"He hasn't been there for a long time. So you and I should also make plans for the future.

"But there is a prince in the court..." Xu Wanyou's reaction was the same as Lv Zhonghe's previous words. Xu Jinghong's response is also average: "If the prince is really so reliable, there will not be so many palace struggles in history. In fact, the throne and other powers are the same. Only powerful people can compete for it!"

This is a kind of feeling that Chen Sheng and Wu Guang advocated during the uprising in ancient times. And the impact of this saying on the three people is no less than the impact of that famous saying on the people of the world.

"Although that's the case, the prince is the crown prince of the country after all, and it is not easy for us to replace him. I don't know what reason Xu Dusi can persuade us to take this risk? Xu Wanzhen, who had never said anything, raised his own questions. Although he didn't say much, his words were the key.

Xu Jinghong smiled and said, "Because you have no way out. If the crown prince or even King Yong is allowed to ascend the throne, the end of the Xu family as a family will inevitably be bleak. Don't forget that they have also seen the suppression of imperial power by the family. When the seat comes to them, will they be stronger to prevent trouble?

"This..." Although the three of them nodded immediately to agree, depending on their expressions, they still agreed with Xu Jinghong's inference. Then, Xu Zhengnian asked, "In this case, it seems that the result is similar if you want to make Jing Wangli the successor." Xu Jinghong will stand on the side of King Jing, which is already an open fact for these people. What's more, he put King Yong and the prince together before?

"It seems similar, but in fact it is still very different." Xu Jinghong did not feel uneasy because the other party saw through him. He immediately replied: "The first two, after these days of solicitation and operation, they have had a deep network and foundation in the court, so once they ascended the throne, they naturally do not have to look at the eyes of the Xu family. It is even necessary to exclude you. After all, people who help people in this seat still need some compensation.

"But replacing this person with King Jing is different. If he wants to take the throne from the hands of his two brothers, he must rely on a family like the Xu family to compete with the current power in the court, so that even if he sits in the throne, he must have a good relationship with the Xu family for a long time to further consolidate the status of the Xu family. In this way, even if the throne of King Jing has been stabilized, I'm afraid it will become very difficult for him to be unfavorable to the Xu family, right?

The three members of the Xu family thought about it separately, but felt that Xu Jinghong's inference was very reasonable. They all nodded and said, "Yes, this is indeed a crucial difference. However, as you can see, our Xu family's current situation has been marginalized in the court, and it can't be said much at the court meeting. How can it be possible to make King Jing become a new king?

"I have my own way to do this, as long as the Xu family is willing to cooperate at that time." Xu Jinghong did not say his complete strategy, but just sold a barrier: "However, I believe that with the reputation of my grandfather and the Xu family in my Song Dynasty army, the Xu family can still play an extremely critical role when necessary."

The three of them were moved, and they all felt that Xu Jinghong's plan this time was not only here, but also a bigger plan that had not been said. But they also knew that Xu Jinghong would not tell the truth about this, so he did not ask anything more. All three fell silent. After a while, Xu Wanyou and Xu Wanzhen turned their eyes to Xu Zhengnian and waited for him to make his final decision.

Xu Zhengnian also opened his eyes after meditation and asked, "In addition to our Xu family, you should have other helpers, right?"

"Yes, the Lu family is already on my side." There was no concealment, Xu Jinghong said.

"So, we have no other choice." Xu Zhengnian smiled and said, "But I still have something to worry about. How can you be sure that the throne will change in a short time?" This is the most important place and what they can't figure out.

Xu Jinghong laughed and said, "If I were not even sure about this, I wouldn't have used this effort to convince you. As for why I'm so sure, I won't reveal it at will until it happens.

"Then we can only agree that after the throne is vacancies, we will intervene to help you push King Jing up." Xu Zhengnian said with a straight face. Before the interests of the family, even if he value Xu Jinghong again, he must let him go first.

Xu Jinghong nodded: "Of course, I will let you know that what I said is true." After being confirmed, Xu Jinghong did not stay for a moment and got up to leave.

"Father, I always feel that Xu Jinghong is going to do a big thing this time. If we fall into it, I'm afraid there will be many problems." Xu Wanyou was still uneasy after hesitating for a while.

"At present, we don't have much choice." Xu Zhengnian smiled bitterly: "If we can use this change to make our Xu family rise again, it would be better than die here?"

"But I always feel like marrying for others. In case Xu Jinghong gets great benefits in this matter, will he..." Xu Wanyou said uneasily.

"I don't think this will happen... At least he has the blood of the Xu family, and he won't do that kind of rebellious thing." Xu Zhengnian said. But this time, his idea seems to be wrong, and soon, the facts will tell him the real cruelty!
