Chapter 97 Satisfaction
The oil lamps are dim and quiet, which also makes people more focused.

"For the emperor, now is an opportunity for the grand tutor to retire. At the same time, the Xu family members resigned to prove their innocence." Qin Luan pursed his lips, "The emperor's purpose is to weaken the Xu family and its peaches by surrounding the grand tutor's mansion. "

"That's what it means," Lin Fan said, "Master Xu, who has been kept in the dark, should think that the Qing is self-cleaning, and he will not easily compromise with the emperor."

Qin Luan said again: "Where is Deng Guoshi? He speculates on the emperor's intention to plan this matter, but he doesn't dare to do anything against the emperor."

Even if Deng Guoshi prepared a dark trick, he still put the interests of the emperor first.

What else can the emperor gain from this turmoil?
"Party formation," Lin Fan said in a final word, "What annoys the emperor most is that old ministers get too close and have a close relationship.

Apart from forcing the Xu family's children to besiege the Taifu's mansion, he surrounded it for us to see.

The more anxious Fan Taibao and the old Hou Ye were, the more they pleaded for the boss, the more they made the emperor jealous. "

Qin Luan smiled wryly: "It's true in principle, but who can really ignore the boss?"

Lin Fan lowered his eyes and sighed: "Yes, who can really ignore it?

Not only the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, but also the Empress Dowager.

The empress dowager was close to the emperor, mother and son, and they only disagreed on the matter of Deng Guoshi. "

"The Queen Mother doesn't like Deng Guoshi?" Qin Luan asked.

"The empress dowager scolded Mr. Deng for making waves and being a despicable person," Lin Fan said, "Yan Shu's exile created a tangle between the empress dowager, Fuguo's government and the emperor. If the empress dowager..."

Qin Luan understood: "The empress dowager speaks for Master Xu, which will inevitably cause conflicts between mother and child, and the closeness of the old officials makes the emperor very worried. In the eyes of the emperor, there are even fewer people he can trust."

And as the most loyal teacher Deng, he can get closer to the emperor.

He is making a knife for the emperor, and at the same time he is constantly sharpening himself, sharp enough and fast enough to make the emperor reluctant to change the knife.

At the same time, in order not to be killed, he was also creating enough crises for the emperor.

He needs an empress dowager who has a heart-to-heart relationship with the emperor, and he doesn't need to take the life of Mrs. Xu. There is a contradiction, so there is a need for Mr. Deng Guoshi to exist.

need each other.

This is Deng Guoshi's purpose.

"Of course, the purpose is the purpose, and we have to beware of someone adding fuel to the fire." Lin Fan said.

People's hearts are unpredictable, not just through the belly, but many decisions, which come from anger and emotional excitement, which cannot be inferred with common sense.

Otherwise, why is there still a saying "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case"?

Today they analyzed several aspects thoroughly, if Mr. Xu collapsed out of breath and unwell, then all the conditions will be overturned, and the result will naturally not stand.

In the room, it fell silent.

The two of them didn't speak for a long time, and carefully sorted out all the levels again.

After a long time, Qin Luan chuckled lightly, breaking the silence.

"Persuasion is the plank road," Qin Luan said, "If you want to break the game, you have to find Chencang."

Lin Fan was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed: "Yes, I have to trouble Master Taibao and the others to build the plank road, and I have to go to Duchencang."

After clarifying the relationship between Xu and Tu, the old lady Fu has a straight waist, what else can the emperor embarrass him for?
The emperor will not embarrass Grand Tutor Xu anymore. Whether it is the empress dowager or all the old officials, naturally they will not express their positions again.

He couldn't see the old matriarch for the time being, so he had to find a way to ask the Xu family.

Qin Luan spoke out his thoughts, but did not stop thinking.

She thinks that the idea of ​​setting up the Duke first is very reasonable.

Whether it is the use of soldiers or the court, it seems that there are differences in civil and military, but there are also similarities.

When arranging troops, you need to think enough and carefully enough, every detail is thoughtful, and you have to think over and over again. When you take action, you must grasp the most critical point in order to tear apart the enemy's formation, and the sharp knife will be straight. Stab the center and minimize your own losses.

This is also the same as playing chess, take one step, think three or five steps, the farther you think, the more you can take the initiative.

Unfortunately, I just lost that game of chess.

Lin Fan thought more carefully and made more ruthless moves.

While Qin Luan was thinking, Lin Fan's eyes fell on her.

Qin Luan could understand what he said, and everything Qin Luan thought of was with him.

This experience is really satisfying.

Even when discussing such an unpleasant topic, Lin Fan felt much more relaxed.

It's a pity that there are too few opportunities and time to sit down and have a good conversation. Otherwise, he still has a lot of ideas, and he wants to talk to Qin Luan...

It seemed that Qin Luan had noticed his gaze and recovered from his thoughts.

Subconsciously, Lin Fan turned his gaze away, covered himself with a teacup, and took a sip.

Qin Luan raised his eyes and saw Lin Fan sitting upright, sipping tea.

The oil lamp on the table flickered.

Lin Fan found a pair of scissors and turned on the light.

Seeing Qin Luan staring at him, Lin Fan cleared his throat: "What's wrong?"

"You..." As soon as he opened his mouth, Qin Luan stopped first.

Just now, in the dim light, she saw something behind Lin Fan's ear, and looked carefully again, only to see that it was a small red mole.

Although she didn't mean anything malicious, it seemed impolite to stare at her like that?
Moreover, it is not suitable to say, right?

Thinking about it this way, Qin Luan changed his mind when he spoke again: "It's nothing."

Qin Luan avoided talking about it, Lin Fan couldn't keep asking, so he just slightly curled his lips and showed a little smile.

Outside the door, Qian'er knocked on the door.

"Grandpa, Miss," Qian'er said, "Aunt Liu's family cooked a bowl of sweet soup, and asked if you want to bring it up to cushion your stomach?"

The owner is enthusiastic, and Qin Luan will never refuse.

Soon, Qian'er came in with a food plate, and two bowls of hot rice balls were placed on it.

My aunt didn't cook it thickly, and the crystal clear thin soup was added with egg flowers and a pinch of sweet-scented osmanthus to enhance the flavor.

"It smells delicious." Qin Luan said with a smile.

It not only smells fragrant, but also tastes very good.

The fermented rice is not used much, it is slightly sour, only a little sweet-scented osmanthus is not sweet, it is clear and light, very comfortable.

Just looking at Qin Luan's expression, Lin Fan knew that she liked the taste, and couldn't help but praise Liu Gong's greatness in his heart.

With just a few chances, Liu Gong determined Qin Luan's taste for dim sum from Qin Luan's preference for dim sum.

After eating the sweet soup, the stomach is warm and the person is much more relaxed.

Qin Luan discussed with Lin Fan a few more words, got up and said goodbye.

The carriage returned to the Marquis of Yongning, and Qin Luan went to see the old Marquis.

Until now, Qin Yin's initial impatience has gradually turned into peace.

After hearing Qin Luan talk about various situations, Qin Yin remained silent for a long time.

Take a deep breath, and when you breathe out again, it is full of gloomy and turbid air.

He agreed with Lin Fan's idea.

The more Lin Fan saw it thoroughly, the more heartache Qin Yin felt.

Seeing Qin Luan looking at him, the old Hou Ye coughed lightly: "This old man thinks of Lin Xuan."

In the past, he had won many battles under Lin Xuan's formation, and now, he was going to fight under Lin Fan's arrangement.

If you build a plank road, you will build a plank road, giving Lin Fan an opportunity to hide his position.

　See you guys tomorrow~
