"Bang."

Wei Feng slapped the table in front of him, making the pen holder and inkstone on it rustled.

At this moment, Wei Feng lost his usual graceful demeanor, his face turned pale, his teeth gritted, and his cold voice seemed to squeeze out from his teeth: "Xu Luo... It's you again, a damn little beast. If you can't kill you, the Wei family will be broken in your hands sooner or later."

Wei Ziting stood aside, not daring to speak out. When he heard this, he raised his head unexpectedly and asked carefully: "Dad, you are sure that this was done by Xu Luo."

"Why are you so stupid?" Wei Feng looked at his son with a grudge and sighed in his heart: If you could be like Xu Luo, even if you let me hand over the phase now, I would rather.

The muscles on Wei Ziting's face twitched violently for a few times, and he retorted with dissatisfaction: "Maybe Xu Su did this..."

"Is there any difference?" Wei Feng looked at Wei Ziting with anger: "Although Xu Su is called a wise general, he is a powerful leader in the war. Who can use this kind of insulting trick except for Xu Luo, the little bastard?"

Wei Ziting closed his mouth, but he was whispering in his heart: You can't use it too, otherwise how did those two civil servants fall?

Wei Feng stood up, walked around the room, and murmured: "We can't go on like this. The two brothers Xu Luo and Xu Su have become a climate, and the Xu family has become a big trouble. If they cannot be completely eliminated, they will sooner or later completely suppress our Wei family."

"It's time for the Xu family to be eradicated..." Wei Ziting agreed with this very much. He hated the Xu family as much as he did, especially Xu Luo, the boy who embarrassed him and covered up all the light that originally belonged to him, was the person he hated the most.

Wei Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, flashing a cold light, and said slowly: "Using momentum...it seems difficult to overwhelm the Xu family. I originally thought that gathering those wealthy families to the imperial capital could oppress them. Now it seems that Xu Luo, the Xu family has the little bastard who does not do things according to the rules, and they will not care about these things at all, so now we can only use that move."

Wei Ziting raised his head blankly and looked at his father: "What."

"Assassination." Wei Feng's eyes were filled with solemnity and he slowly spit out two words.

...

"Father, my son wants to sue Xu Su, the eldest son of the Xu family, to deliberately kill the royal family's children in the street." The sixth prince knelt in front of his father, with a sad face and said in a deep voice.

On the dragon throne, Huangfu Haoran looked at his son with a calm expression and said lightly: "Do you have evidence."

"Of course there are, countless people on Qinglong Street have seen it with their own eyes." The Sixth Prince raised his head, his eyes flashed with anger and sadness: "Although the little emperor is cold and arrogant, he has a noble character and comes from a sect, how could he do something like robbing the people's daughter? This is clearly because the little emperor chose the underground forces of the imperial capital and injured his lover, and used this method of frame-up... to take revenge."

Huangfu Haoran nodded slightly and said, "Then, what are you going to do?"

The sixth prince looked firm and gritted his teeth and said, "The prince breaks the law and is the same as the people."

"It's right." The emperor nodded, with no joy, anger, sorrow and happiness on his face, and just said softly: "I'll leave this matter to you to deal with. However, if you listen well, don't believe it. I hope you can thoroughly investigate the matter and make a conclusion. Do you understand?"

The sixth prince looked shaking and said respectfully: "Son of yourselves obey your order."

"Go." Huangfu Haoran waved his hand and asked the sixth prince to leave.

Then, the prince who was standing beside him walked forward and whispered: "Father, my son has different opinions on this matter."

"Say." Huangfu Haoran glanced at the prince.

"All civil and military officials in the court knew that Wei Xiang and the Xu family had always been incompatible. The two civil officials who were imprisoned by Wei Xiang knew that they were wronged. Wei Ziting took people to trouble the Xu family and sealed several shops under the Xu family. The actions of the emperor's uncle Huangfu Haoyue were even more unreasonable..."

"Why is it unreasonable? Those underground forces hiding in dark corners and being as hateful as mice should not be removed." Huangfu Haoran said lightly.

The prince nodded: "It should be removed, but... the son of the son asked his father a bold question, since the founding of the sky, it has been 1,400 years since the founding of the country... But in any dynasty, there was really no underground dark forces at all."

"This is not a reason." Huangfu Haoran said calmly, neither happy nor angry.

"Yes, this is indeed not a reason, but the gang had many evil deeds before. After being subdued by Guo Ying, they became strict in discipline. There was no such thing as bullying the weak and bullying the market..." The prince said: "So, my son-in-law thought that since the gang could not be completely eliminated, it would be better to let such a gang exist, at least, to restrain other forces."

"Your idea is quite similar to when I was young..." Huangfu Haoran suddenly said with some emotion, and then changed his mind: "However, you must know that strict discipline and organized gangs are a big taboo in the hearts of any superior. Do you know why I was angry at that time and abolished your position as the prince."

The prince was slightly stunned, then fell silent.

It was not that he had thought of this, but he was very confident in the loyalty of the Xu family, but since his father proposed it, he naturally could not continue to talk about it.

But the reason why he was deposed at that time was wronged... It was precisely because of that incident that the relationship between him and the Sixth Prince was completely broken. At the same time, the relationship between the prince and Wei Feng became extremely subtle.

Because he had too many reasons to believe that Wei Feng and the Sixth Prince worked together to do that.

Fortunately, the emperor then issued an edict saying that the prince had been wronged, and this matter... was left unresolved.

But deep in the prince's heart, a big knot was formed.

"For a long time, it was precisely because the leader of the gang was related to the Xu family that I did not touch it, but this does not mean that I would like such a force that exists in the imperial capital." Huangfu Haoran said softly, glanced at the prince deeply, and said meaningfully: "Where can't others snore on the side of the bed?"

"My son understands, but my son knows that he is wrong." A layer of cold sweat oozed out of the prince's forehead and he hurriedly fell to the ground.

"Get up, these things have nothing to do with you. I just want you to understand. I will always have the day when I step down. This throne will belong to you sooner or later, so there are some truths you have to understand."

A hint of joy flashed in the prince's eyes. It seemed that this was the first time that the father had confirmed his identity so bluntly.

"I am old, but I am not confused. I know very well what your sixth brother is doing." Huangfu Haoran said lightly: "However, there are some things that he must do. It is not appropriate for you, the prince, to do."

"My son understand."

"The Xu family is indeed a bit of great achievements now, but I don't care, because I know that Xu Ji will not betray me, but this does not mean that Xu Ji's children will also be your good minister." Huangfu Haoran sighed softly, stood up, walked to the prince's side, and patted his shoulder.

"There is a champion Hou Xu Zhongtian in the south and Xu Ji in the north. This is a blessing for my Cangqiu Empire, but the military family should do what soldiers should do."

"I have always trusted the Xu family, but the power cannot be too tilted. Otherwise, when you get to power, what do you want to use to balance the Xu family? I heard that Huangfu Haoyue was injured by Xu Su. Xu Su was only a third-level sword master before, but now he can injure Huangfu Haoyue. Do you know, what does this mean?"

Before the prince answered, Huangfu Haoran said in a deep voice: "Xu Luo was originally just a person who could not practice, but in just one or two years, he had made so many major events. He became famous among the younger generation. It was nothing, but... his sworn brother was your elder brother... Huangfu Chongzhi, do you know... what this means?"

The prince's body trembled slightly. It was not until this time that he finally understood why his father turned a blind eye to some of Wei Xiang's actions against the Xu family. It turned out that the root cause was actually here.

"Governing the country is like playing chess. Every piece has its own uses, and this world is not black or white, so sometimes you have to sacrifice some pieces to ensure the advantages of the whole game."

Huangfu Haoran said, then said lightly: "When necessary, no matter how good the chess piece is, it must be taken out and sacrificed, because you are the one who plays chess. Do you... understand?"

"My son... seems to understand but not understand." The prince said softly.

"You will understand in the future." Huangfu Haoran sighed lightly, walked back to the dragon throne, and said, "This position is not easy to sit."

"Does the father think that the Xu family... will be unjust?" the prince asked boldly.

"Not now does not mean there is no in the future. Some things must not be faced after they happen. In that case, it may be too late." Huangfu Haoran said, then waved his hand: "You go down, think about it carefully, I am tired."

The prince bowed and said, "My son is leaving."

Looking at the prince's departure, Huangfu Haoran on the dragon throne showed fatigue on his face. He reached out and rubbed his forehead, and a lot of white hair had already grown on his temples.

After a long time, he murmured: "It's always difficult for people to control. The Xu family, which has been a thousand-year-old man... why did they give birth to such a freak? Why did they become close friends with Chongzhi?"

...

"Xiao Luo, will our actions today anger the emperor?" Xu Su frowned slightly. Although it was refreshing to beat Huangfu Haoyue, Xu Su was also a little worried after the incident.

"Haha, even if we don't do this, I believe the emperor will find reasons to trouble the Xu family." Xu Luo leaned on the chair with some excitement and said slowly: "Our family is too dazzling now, and the emperor... is a little old again."

"Don't spread such words outside." Xu Su glared at his bold younger brother, and then said, "Otherwise, people think we have something wrong with it."

"We have the final say or not, but the emperor has the final say." Xu Luo smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, have you not seen that in the current imperial capital, it is not what we want to do, but that those families and royal families are forcing us to do this."

"Why?" Xu Su asked subconsciously, then smiled bitterly: "Yes, my father is already very good at striking the master. Now we two brothers have shown excellent side again. The most important thing is that you have a close relationship with the eldest prince, and many people are uneasy about this."

"Yes, there was no one paying attention to the eldest prince who had no status, but now, this is not the case. Before we knew it, the eldest prince's reputation in the country was already faintly vague, and he wanted to go along with the crown prince and the sixth prince and the others."
