C114 A Hot Potato



C114 A Hot Potato

"Cold old man, how are your legs?"    

    

"Why did you lose all your manners after being locked up in the imperial prison for a few days?"    

    

"It seems so intimate."    

    

"Stop pretending. If you have something to say, just say it."    

    

"Alright then, I came today to trouble Old Man Leng to make a trip to the Imperial Palace."    

    

Xiao Yun sat next to Leng Xiaohan and chatted like he was from the same generation as Leng Xiaohan.    

    

Leng Xiaohan did not show any signs of unhappiness. Instead, the smile on his face never faded.    

    

This made Leng Ningshuang, who was watching from the side, look shocked.    

    

When did her grandfather talk to a junior like this?    

    

Was the name of the Great Country Pillar for nothing?    

    

If it wasn't for the fact that his grandfather didn't like power, the current Leng family wouldn't be any worse than the Third Duke!    

    

"Go to the Imperial Palace?"    

    

The pillar of the empire frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Kid, you want to go in again after being released by His Majesty? What's so good about the Imperial Prison? You're addicted to living?"    

    

Xiao Yun rolled his eyes and said," Why does it sound like I'm going to do something bad? It's not my fault to be locked up. It's just that His Majesty is too good at weighing the pros and cons. I am the one who was abandoned."    

    

"Silence!"    

    

Leng Xiaohan was shocked and immediately shouted.    

    

Then he said, "His Majesty has His Majesty's considerations. How can you understand? You were imprisoned because you offended that old bastard Zhao Wuji? "    

    

"To be exact, he was beaten up."    

    

"I know you are powerful! Humph!"    

    

Leng Xiaohan rolled his eyes at him and asked again, "Since it is not trouble, why do you want me to go to the Imperial Palace?"    

    

"Isn't it because of the locust plague? Do you think I like to meddle in this matter? Although I am now a White Ding in the realm of Saint Grade, I don't have much of a relationship with this Great Qin Country. Actually, I am here to escape with my family. It is the best choice to avoid getting angry in the Great Qin Country. Perhaps Imperial Tutor Zhao will send assassins to deal with me one day. "    

    

"Why are you getting more and more out of line? "    

    

Leng Xiaohan was slightly angry.    

    

Only then did Xiao Yun curl his lips and said, "Just take it as I'm complaining, but regarding this locust plague... I'll have to trouble you to make a trip, I don't have much to say. Putting this aside for now, whether or not I can resolve the locust plague... I don't want this credit, and I can't take it either... I have to choose someone to give it to. Old Man Leng, who do you think is appropriate to give it to?"    

    

"Hmm?"    

    

Leng Xiaohan was completely stunned. He asked in astonishment, "You really have the means to solve the locust plague?"    

    

"Then why do you think His Majesty let me out now? Didn't he also think that this matter was possible? Hmph, actually, according to his thoughts, he probably wants to lock me up for two to three years. "    

    

" He actually said that he wants to lock me up for three years to sharpen my character... "    

    

Leng Xiaohan subconsciously said it out loud, and then immediately shut his mouth.    

    

This inadvertently slipped out of his mouth, and it still made him feel a little awkward.    

    

But in the end, he said it and sighed. "Actually, this is only one aspect. The reason His Majesty locked you up is because of two other important things. Do you know what they are?"    

    

"How would I know what he is thinking?"    

    

"His Majesty wants to protect you! You have offended Imperial Tutor Zhao, but with His Majesty's protection and hundreds of officials endorsing you, he can't deal with you in the Imperial Court, but the Zhao family is after all wealthy and powerful. If you secretly use some tricks, can you handle it? The reason why you are locked up in the Imperial Prison is to protect you! Secondly, the name of Saint Grade in your body, it's good that you can agree on it. It's not good to say it's not good either. He was locked up for three years. When people gradually forget about you, Saint Xiao, they will release you at that time. I will give you an official position so that you can smoothly enter the official career. This is also one of His Majesty's expectations."    

    

"No need!"    

    

Xiao Yun rolled his eyes and said, "In this way, wouldn't this official be bestowed by His Majesty? I always feel that the things given to you by others are not necessarily good things. If you want anything, just exchange it for credit."    

    

"What do you think..."    

    

Leng Xiaohan frowned and looked at Xiao Yun.    

    

For a moment, he realized that he didn't understand this kid at all.    

    

On the surface, he looked like a smart and intelligent guy, but how could he say something so stupid?    

    

His Majesty, the Emperor, was the master of this world.    

    

It was the Emperor of Great Qin.    

    

This Great Qin was also his private property.    

    

Without the royal family, the Great Qin would no longer be the Great Qin.    

    

Official? That was a gift from His Majesty.    

    

Money? That was made by His Majesty.    

    

What do you mean by deserve it? What do you mean by exchange? Isn't that nonsense!    

    

What the two of them were thinking in their hearts was actually not wrong.    

    

The only thing that was wrong was that Xiao Yun's head was still in his previous life.    

    

As the saying went, 'different worldviews'. They said things that they thought were right, but in each other's eyes, it was the foolishness of being wrong.    

    

"Old man Leng, you haven't answered my question yet, or are you still unable to think of a suitable candidate for the time being?"    

    

Xiao Yun looked at Leng Xiaohan's strange expression and didn't say anything for a long time. He frowned and asked again.    

    

Leng Xiaohan sighed and made up his mind in his heart. When the locust disaster was over, he still had to cooperate with His Majesty to lock Xiao Yun up. No matter what, he would have to lock Xiao Yun up for three years!    

    

"The credit is good. If we can manage the locust disaster... He would be heavily relied upon by the Imperial Court and loved by the people. Indeed, it is not something you can bear. If you were so young to receive such a contribution, such public opinion... There are too many things you can do! To put it bluntly, those who have achieved great things will not end up well! "    

    

" I understand, that's why I asked you for a candidate. "    

    

"If it's a young man, it's always not possible. If it's an old man... Hmm? "    

    

Leng Xiaohan was shocked and immediately said vigilantly, "You are not thinking of putting this credit on me, are you? "    

    

"Can't I?"    

    

"Please don't!"    

    

Leng Xiaohan immediately shook his head like a rattle drum.    

    

"The Leng family's family business is already big enough. If the third generation can succeed, they can still have several hundred years of inheritance. If they still want to go up, they will be digging their own graves. I am afraid I have let down my ancestors."    

    

"Aren't you all being too cautious?"    

    

"Hmph! There's no second person in the Imperial Court who is as foolish as Zhao Wuji!"    

    

Xiao Yun understood.    

    

Although Leng Xiaohan spoke vaguely, just thinking about it was already considered straightforward.    

    

Simply put, the most important thing that His Majesty had to consider in his lifetime was also the first thing he would consider, and it would always be the "ruling."    

    

And the most important task of the ruling was to not let a family that could rival the royal family appear in the world!    

    

As the saying went, maintain stability, strengthen the royal family, and weaken the aristocratic families. This was the simplest method.    

    

A colossus like the Leng family, and it also had an absolute military influence. If the public's reputation was added, then it would have the capital to rebel!    

    

Just like a tiger.    

    

Even if it did not want to eat people, it slept beside your pillow. When it slightly opened its mouth, sharp teeth could be seen, and its breath was filled with the smell of blood...    

    

That is, death is the safest.    

    

It was just like how Xiao Yun couldn't take the credit.    

    

He was so young and had the potential of a Saint Grade. He had the credit of saving the people of spring hunting, which was a huge kindness to all the families in the world. If he made the people feel grateful...    

    

His Majesty's fear of him was even greater than the Leng family's.    

    

If he didn't get rid of the unpleasantness, he wouldn't be able to get rid of the unpleasantness.    

    

As the saying goes, one has to welcome a monarch with a smile and maintain a distance from him. You don't know when he will be angry and eat people. The only thing you can do is not to leave any flaws in yourself.    

    

That's all!    

    

Leng Xiaohan thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Your grandfather, Old Devil Xiao, can be considered to be idle. It doesn't seem to be a big deal to get this credit, right?"    

    

"This joke of yours is not funny at all!"    

    

Xiao Yun rolled his eyes.    

    

Leng Xiaohan also laughed and said, "In terms of power and power, some people want this credit, but cannot give it to them. I'm afraid they won't want anything that can be given to them. If such a talented young man had such a great credit, he would probably be feared as well. There's no hope for him to be promoted in this life. "    

    

Xiao Yun curled his lips and said, "Since when did such a great contribution become a hot potato?"    

    

"It has always been like this."    

    

Leng Xiaohan laughed and asked, "If this credit is placed on a girl, there will be no restrictions."    

    

"Hmm?"    

    

Xiao Yun was slightly stunned, then he smiled and said, "Why did you think of the same thing as me? Old Man Leng, do you have a candidate?"    

    

Leng Xiaohan said, "Eldest Imperial Princess is the most suitable candidate."    

    

"Are you sure?"    

    

Xiao Yun was stunned for a moment and asked back.    

    

"You don't think so?"    

    

"There's nothing wrong with that. If we were to look at this matter alone, Eldest Imperial Princess has always been a virtuous person and the people have a good opinion of her. She was also a descendant of the royal family, so it was naturally suitable for her. However, I heard that Eldest Imperial Princess and Fourth Prince are very close."    

    

" After all, they were born from the same imperial concubine, so it is normal for them to be closer. "    

    

"Now that the princes are fighting for power, they are all focused on inheriting the throne. If we give the credit to Eldest Imperial Princess, wouldn't that indirectly help Fourth Prince? Old Man Leng, if you want to participate in the competition of the throne, then go and participate yourself. Don't bring me along!"    

    

Leng Xiaohan was stunned and slapped his forehead.    

    

He had also neglected this point!    

    

He felt weak in his heart, but his words were not forgiving. "It was clearly a good thing, but you think so much of it. If you can't do it like this, then what can you do? Hmph, what's more, whether or not this locust disaster can be resolved is still unknown. Yet, this old man is here discussing the distribution of credit? This old man is indeed old! I'm old and muddle-headed!"    

    

" If you want to solve the problem of the locust plague, it will naturally be an extremely troublesome matter. It also needs to be done step by step. The first thing you need to do is to have you enter the Palace. "    

    

After saying that, he went back to the starting point.
