No, gentlemen also guard against

Chapter 276
Inside the study.

Li Xian's family and the younger junior sister stood up or down, with a thoughtful expression on their faces.

"Pay money to repair the pagoda, my father prays for blessings, the broken jade is reunited, offering auspiciousness, declaring that I am seriously ill... It is reasonable and reasonable, and the rings go together."

Li Bao'er tapped her chin with her fingers, her eyes lit up, and she looked at Ouyang Rong: "Good!"

Wei Mei frowned, thinking more, or rather, getting to know the mother-in-law better:

"Will it be seen by her or them at a glance?"

Ouyang Rong looked at Wei Mei with a strange face:
"Of course it will be seen through, isn't that self-evident."

Wei Mei opened her mouth: "Huh?"

Ouyang Rong smiled:

"Who said auspiciousness must be real? Isn't fake auspiciousness true auspiciousness?"

He lowered his eyes and muttered, as if jingling:
"True is false and false is true, false is true and true is false; false is true, true is false, true is false, false is true."

Li Fusu thoughtfully, touched his head, and said in a worried tone:

"Tan Lang, there will always be some falsehoods. Although the preparations are very thorough, what if someone in the court steps up to disrupt the situation? If it is true, it will not be good to send someone to investigate carefully?"

"Da Lang is right to be worried."

Ouyang Rong nodded, and in an instant, he raised his hand and pointed at the Zhou court in Luoyang in the north with his slender palm:
"But who dares to be true, who dares to come to investigate? In front of His Majesty, who dares to say that Buddha Auspiciousness and God Blessing Dazhou are fake?

"May I ask the ministers, do you have the guts?"

The counselor of the weak crown raised his chin and sneered.

"Tan Lang is right, but it seems that there are still prime ministers who dare to speak out in front of His Majesty." Li Fusu said weakly: "For example, Master Di."

Ouyang Rong had a strange look on his face: "Master Di, why did you tear down your station?"

Li Fusu and the others were immediately speechless.

Yes, they are all friendly troops. Why did the Baoli faction of the imperial court dismantle their platforms?

Not everyone is Ouyang Lianghan who prepared the coffin and dared to stand up to the princess and empress.

"That makes sense." Li Bao'er nodded, and then asked in a deep voice, "Where are the King of Wei and the Wei family, they can talk a lot in front of His Majesty."

Ouyang Rong smiled and nodded, and one hundred people agreed:

"That's fine, let's check it. It's just right. Change it to the bullshit auspiciousness they presented a week ago. Master Di and the others can also check it out to see who has the problem first."

Li Bao'er, Wei Mei, and Li Fusu turned their heads and looked sideways, all of them suddenly looked: "What a conspiracy!"

Only Li Xian was still struggling and scratching his head, and asked weakly:

"Tan Lang, it's okay for the people below to say, the main thing is the attitude of my mother towards me, what if she hates me and doesn't accept this auspiciousness."

Ouyang Rong shook his head and said:

"This time offering auspiciousness, the last thing to worry about is His Majesty."

Speaking of this, he paused, and sighed:

"In other words, it is precisely because of her attitude that we are taking the initiative to offer auspiciousness today. This is an opportunity. If you don't grasp the opportunity she gave, you will miss it."

Li Xian was taken aback for a moment, and asked in a panic: "What opportunity is Tan Lang talking about?"

Ouyang Rong pointed to the jade pieces on the side of the boots:

"Didn't Uncle see that this piece of jade is her attitude?"

"But since ancient times, isn't the main meaning of Jue the same as 'absolute'?"

Ouyang Rong asked back: "Why not pass 'decision', decisive decision."

Stop talking when you want to talk.

Ouyang Rong asked again:

"If it's really 'jue', you didn't kill yourself after picking up 'Jue' in the street.

"So many days have passed, the news has already been sent back by the court envoys.

"It's so disrespectful, according to His Majesty's temperament, will you send someone to help you face it?
"The truth is, she didn't."

Li Xian was completely silent, and after a while, he murmured to himself:
"Jue, do you decide...so that's the case."

Ouyang Rong calmly said:

"Uncle, the most dangerous moment is over, this is the last chance.

"Is it important whether the auspiciousness is true or false? It doesn't matter, because in the Great Zhou Dynasty, His Majesty always controls the final interpretation, and she alone can judge whether it is true or false.

"And this piece of jade is actually a question given to you by His Majesty."

"What... what question?"

"A question about you, and a question about how to circle around smoothly.

"Your Majesty wants to see whether you have learned how to play around in circles after you have been relegated to Dragon City for so many years. This is the basis for reactivating you in the future, and it is also a kind of basic lesson for an emperor."

Li Xian was stunned for a while, and couldn't help asking respectfully:
"Tan Lang, did you know this from the first time you saw Yu Jue?"

Ouyang Rong was noncommittal, walked to Xie Lingjiang's seat, picked up a piece of watermelon in the food box, and lightly bit it.

Li Xian bowed his head and chewed repeatedly:
"Going around in circles...Tan Lang, you proposed offering auspiciousness and pretending to be sick, are you just going around in circles?"

"That's right." Ouyang Rong nodded, chewing melons in his mouth, and muttered casually:

"The more beautiful the circle is, the better."

Li Xian's family, as well as Xie Lingjiang who was holding a silver spoon, all looked at Ouyang Rong with different eyes.

Ouyang Rong didn't look at them, he ate the melon with his eyes down, wiped it dry, and put down the melon.

There are light red watermelon juice stains between the fingers.

Two handkerchiefs were handed over almost simultaneously, under his eyes.

One is a moon-white embroidered lotus handkerchief, and the other is a pink phoenix embroidered handkerchief.

The former is in the hands of the girl in red dress, while the latter is in the hands of the little girl with plum blossom makeup.

Xie Lingjiang turned her head with her usual expression, and there was a sideways look on Li Bao'er's veiled face.

The two girls handing over the handkerchief looked at each other.

Just before Ouyang Rong raised his hand, Li Bao'er suddenly withdrew the phoenix handkerchief and stuffed it back into his sleeve, his eyes seemed erratic.

Ouyang Rong raised his hand and directly took the white lotus handkerchief from the little junior sister.

He wiped his mouth with lowered eyes, and wiped his fingers meticulously. He folded the handkerchief and handed it back to Xie Lingjiang. With his finger, she pouted the corners of her lips with some milky white powder, which was left behind after eating the crispy mountain. of.

Xie Lingjiang took back the handkerchief, and wiped the corners of his lips with the clean handkerchief that the elder brother seemed to have reserved for him, avoiding the sight of Li Bao'er and other family members, feeling a little ashamed.

Why is senior brother so straight, he doesn't treat me as an outsider at all.

Xie's daughter's heart beat faster.

Some anger.

I don't know if there is some watermelon juice that he wiped between his lips.

A little sweet.

She quickly took a look in the direction of the elder brother, only to find that after handing over the handkerchief, he turned around as if nothing had happened, and walked around the room with his hands behind his back.

Ouyang Rong ignored the little junior sister's sad eyes.

He paced around the house, looked around, looked at this Su Mansion in the corner of the south of the Yangtze River with emotion, and muttered:
"Why did the Buddha's Wuzhi Mountain only hold down the monkey grandson for 500 years, instead of 500 million years or 500 million years?"

The counselor of the weak crown seems to be asking himself, but also seems to be asking others.

Li Bao'er raised his eyes, his eyes were curious: "What Wuzhishan, what Sun Monkey?"

"Uh, it's fine."

Ouyang Rong shook his head, he remembered that there seems to be no Journey to the West in this world, and there is no need to waste words.

Li Bao'er and the others looked at him more and more curiously.

Ouyang Rong curled his lips, and changed his words:
"In that game in the sky, most people don't dare to make mistakes, or even dare to try. If they try and make a mistake, they will be demoted and ignored?
"But uncle is different, your family is different,
"Even if you are crushed under the Five Fingers Mountain... well, as long as you don't die, there are always opportunities.

"why?"

He asked himself and answered:
"Because uncle is His Majesty's flesh and blood, he is a direct bloodline of Emperor Taizong, and he is a nobleman of heaven."

The words are very straightforward.

It caused everyone to look at each other in blank dismay.

Listening to Li Xian's ears, when Lianghan's nephew spoke with emotion, he looked ashamed and dared not answer the words, because the nephew in front of him was from a poor family.

But these calm words fell into the ears of Xie Lingjiang, who knew someone well, but there was an unspoken sense of ridicule.

She couldn't help but look at the elder brother with a calm face.

With a bang, Ouyang Rong slapped a slender palm on the table, facing the crowd, and made a decisive decision:
"The person who offers auspiciousness has already been selected, and I will persuade him.

"Aunt Wei and Miss Li immediately went to collect all the government property, distributed a thousand pieces of gold to the junior sister, and handed over the rest of the money to Da Lang."

He turned his head:
"Junior sister, you can start your journey, buy jade in Lingnan, and bring back a perfect jade ring, the more lonely the better."

"Dalang, Uncle, you go to find Liulang, and then go to Donglin Temple and donate money to build the pagoda. We will build the largest pagoda in the southeast area and enshrine the 'Jade Jue'!"

Xie Lingjiang and Li Xian's family were refreshed, they obeyed their words, stood up one after another, and embraced their orders.

Before leaving, Ouyang Rong suddenly turned his head and asked:

"Uncle, Auntie, Da Lang, Miss Li, you just believe in me, this set of expenses is to dissipate the wealth of the Su family, even all the birthday gifts of Miss Li will be invested in it, from now on , no matter how hard it is to go back to the life of a rich man, aren't you afraid to mess around with me?"

Li Fusu blushed, and his tone was firm: "I believe in Tan Lang!"

Li Xian and Wei Mei shook arms and supported each other, gritted their teeth, and nodded excitedly:
"Don't be afraid, I have listened to Tan Lang's plan, and I will not regret it when I spend all my wealth!"

Li Bao'er nodded: "Cai, it's up to people to plan things."

Ouyang Rong looked around at the family who served him respectfully and poured tea and water in front of him, and sighed:
"Believe it or not, then I will definitely live up to it."

At this time, Wei Mei carefully looked at the weak crown counselor with a smile on his mouth, and asked in a low voice:

"Tan Lang, if this plan of presenting auspiciousness succeeds, what will we...?"

Ouyang Rong squinted his eyes: "Uncle prayed for his mother, felt filial piety to the world, accidentally became 'seriously ill', and naturally needed to be cured, in line with the Great Zhou ethics and the hearts of the people of the world."

"Then Qilang is going back to... Luoyang?"

Ouyang Rong shook his head with certainty:
"It's not that easy.

"Uncle is the abolished emperor, and the matter of returning to Luo is very important and has thousands of ties, which can profoundly change the structure of the court.

"Your Majesty is keen on the power of the emperor, and balancing the court is the basic logic. How he will deal with the 'seriously ill' uncle at that time is really intriguing.

"It's hard to say for now, I'm afraid I can't go back to Luo directly, but I will definitely leave the cage of Dragon City.

"Actually, what hinders His Majesty's intentions and actions the most is the unstoppable dispute over Liwei.

"From the incident of stealing the tripod sword in Longcheng, it can be seen that the Wei family has not given up on the tripod sword, and will never forget the tripod sword. He will try to make a comeback, and will not easily admit defeat and welcome uncle in a compromise.

"Besides, King Xiang may not fully support... hmm."

Ouyang Rong paused quietly when he said this, and everyone saw the smile on the corner of his mouth, which was intriguing.

Cursing his lips, skipping this point, Ouyang Rong spoke clearly and thought tricky:

"Furthermore, my uncle has already broken with His Majesty on the surface, and the rift in the relationship between mother and son is difficult to completely heal simply by praying for blessings and offering auspiciousness.

"What's more, uncle's move is a circle. As a master of circles, His Majesty is a master of circles. How can he not, he will also make circles.

"But it doesn't matter, this is the first step, throwing stones to ask for directions.

"If you don't throw stones, how can you find out the way?"

He lowered his eyes, straightened the sleeves of his robe, and said calmly:
"Let's listen to Luo Jing's echo."

"Tan Lang's ingenious plan can secure the world!"

Everyone in the study felt at ease immediately, so they happily went out and ran around separately.

Only Ouyang Rong and Xie Lingjiang were left in the room, standing and sitting.

"I'll send you off."

Ouyang Rong turned his head and said
Xie Lingjiang looked at him and nodded.

The two brothers and sisters went out, one in front and one behind, walking on the promenade where the wind chimes were hung.

After a lot of tossing today, everything was settled, and it was almost evening.

In the summer evening, it is a little cooler, and the evening wind is drunk.

Gust after gust of wind blows the sleeves and skirts of the pair of slender men and women in the corridor.

Ding ding dong, the sound of wind chimes is crisp, like knocking on the door of dusk.

Xie Lingjiang turned his head, looked at Ouyang Rong who was walking in front of him, with his face flickering in the setting sun, and asked softly:
"What is the elder brother thinking?"

"Huh? I didn't think about anything."

After discussing and offering advice in the study, Ouyang Rong, who found that there was a little more surprise, regained his senses for a while, ignoring the crisp sound of wooden fish in his ears.

He looked back and asked:

"You like crispy crisps so much?"

"Yeah." Xie Lingjiang nodded: "There are grapes in it."

Ouyang Rong smiled, "It's delicious. Next time you come back, ask Aunt Wei to make more."

"Eldest brother is not being polite now, he treats this place like his own home."

His tone is relaxed:
"What's there to be polite about? You don't know the temperament of this family. Except for that young lady Li, who needs to be a little more careful, Da Lang and his uncle are nothing to be polite about."

Xie Lingjiang immediately asked, "Why is Sister Bao'er special?"

"The appearance is gentle, but the inside is strong. If you dare to provoke her, you will easily be bitten off by her, and you will not be able to shake her off. I have always kept a respectful distance from this kind of woman."

"Oh, senior brother is brilliant."

Xie Lingjiang nodded calmly after listening, and continued to ask:
"However, Eldest Brother, before today, refused to evade his family's pursuit of talents. Could it be that he was really moved by Li Fusu today?"

Ouyang Rong turned his head and glanced at Xie Lingjiang, but said softly without answering:
"A friend once told me an interesting truth, or a little routine."

"What's the point, uh, what's the trick?"

"When you refuse to help others, you must express your regret during the process of refusing.

"And when you agree to help others, you must be very hesitant during the process of agreeing."

Xie Lingjiang was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but look at the elder brother twice more, and asked:
"Then since when did the elder brother agree by default?"

After a pause, she recalled a little on her pretty face, and muttered, "When you recovered from your illness not long ago?"

Ouyang Rong thought for a while: "Almost."

"yes."

Xie Lingjiang bit her lip lightly.

"Uncle Li and the others are worrying about gains and losses these days, worrying about sleeplessness, even my father thinks that senior brother is unwilling... Senior senior brother is a bit bad."

"It's not bad, um, it's called going around in circles." Ouyang Rong blinked: "You stupid junior sister, what do you know?"

He sighed: "There are many things that need to be properly 'detoured'. This is not to complicate a simple issue, but to handle the issue properly.

"This is called delaying urgent matters, and slowing things down."

Ouyang Rong suddenly turned around and asked:

"I remember listening to you, what the little lady Li said, 'Lies don't hurt people', 'The truth is a sharp knife' These words teach you."

Xie Lingjiang nodded, "Yes, what's wrong, big brother."

Ouyang Rong leisurely: "Then I have something to teach you."

Xie Lingjiang was curious: "What?"

"Since ancient times, true love has been difficult to retain, only routines can win people's hearts." He nodded: "It's the same today."

Xie Lingjiang was startled, chewed for a while, then looked up:
"Eldest brother's move is really... Well, it's okay, now that Uncle Li and the others have treated you as a guest of honor, elder brother, they can't wait to put their heart and soul out, and they dare not neglect you at all."

After a pause, the girl in red clothes holding the sword narrowed her eyes suddenly, and said in a cat-like voice:

"Oh? I like the combination of true feelings and routines. Did the elder brother also use routines with me?"

"..." Ouyang Rong.

Xie Lingjiang tilted his body and tilted his head, met Ouyang Rong's calm and avoiding eyes, looked into his innocent eyes, and asked with a smile:

"Well, someone's intangible routine has made my junior sister very hard, right... oops!"

Xie Lingjiang was halfway through the words of torture, when he suddenly covered his forehead with both hands, wrinkled his little nose, and inhaled with silver teeth.

Somewhere on her forehead was fair skin, with a tinge of red.

On the Sunset Corridor, Ouyang Rong gave a big chestnut to his junior sister who loves to infer other things from one example, and Ouyang Rong snorted softly, and walked away with his hands behind his back:

"Does it sound good? If it sounds good, it's good. It's quite loud. Someone with such a stupid brain can still use my tricks?"

"..."
