Lin Feng looked calm, without any impatience, nervousness or worry, and said slowly: "In the art of war, if there is a temple before a battle, the winner must be counted as more; if there is a temple before the battle, the winner must be counted as less. .The more you win, the less you win."
"So this time when we fight against the Xiahou family, the first thing we have to do is to find out the news about the Xiahou family, and then take action against the Xiahou family."
"If you don't do the first step, it will be difficult to take action later."
"I know a lot about Anguo Gong Hu Xiao's situation, and he is from the military. He is relatively simple. The Hu family does not have much power and is not strong enough. We can go directly. The Xiahou family is an old aristocrat with a deeper foundation. Understand it first before taking action.”
Lu Guang said sincerely: "The Duke is wise."
Lin Feng's analysis is extremely correct. Taking action without understanding the situation is foolish and bold.
"Gao Xiaoyu."
Lin Feng gave another order.
"exist!"
Gao Xiaoyu saluted after entering.
Lin Feng ordered: "Go to Heibingtai and tell Ying San that I need information about the Xiahou family, detailed information."
"Here!"
Gao Xiaoyu turned and left.
Lu Guang was dumbfounded when he heard this. He opened his mouth slightly with an incredulous look and said: "My lord, Black Ice Platform belongs directly to His Majesty and is His Majesty's intelligence network. Don't you worry about violating taboos by directly transferring the files of Black Ice Platform? ?”
Lin Feng smiled and said: "What taboo is there? I have the Black Dragon Order in my hand to mobilize the Black Ice Platform. So, there is no need to worry."
Lu Guang said with emotion: "No wonder the Duke is willing to stay in the Qin State. In any country, whether it is the Jin State or the Qi State, it is impossible to trust the Duke of the State so much. His Majesty, the Emperor of Qin State, has great respect for the country. I trust you so much. Hei Bingtai is at your disposal."
In his heart, he admired Ying Jiuxiao even more.
It is not easy for the emperor to do this, because creatures like the emperor are very suspicious.
The emperor lives in the ninth heaven and is doomed to be lonely. Under the premise of loneliness, it is very easy to be suspicious of others and very afraid of being deceived, so we are very wary. Furthermore, the emperor took the power in his hands even more seriously, and it was almost impossible to trust people without reservation.
Ying Jiuxiao did this.
Lin Feng chuckled and said: "His Majesty today is not only talented and strategic, but also appoints people on their merits. As for me, it is even different. I can only say that this is my luck. I met His Majesty and won His Majesty's favor. In this life, If you meet someone who is kind to you, someone you love, you don't have to worry about food and clothing, and you can do something that is beneficial to the people and within your ability, that's enough."
Lu Guang said: "My lord, I wish you the best."
After a pause, Lu Guang sat up straight and asked: "My lord, I have some questions and I would like to ask my lord."
Lin Feng said: "You tell me."
Lu Guang said directly: "Do you think Qin has a chance to overthrow Jin and Qi?"
Lin Feng smiled and said: "The one who dominates the world must be Qin. Jin and Qi seem to be strong and bustling, but in fact, they are not strong countries, but big families. It's just that the emperor is diligent and maintains the world. Situation. The general trend of the world is that if we unite for a long time, we will divide, and if we divide for a long time, we will unite. The Qin State in the future will definitely destroy the two countries and unify the world."
Lu Guang's expression shone brightly and he said: "I also think that Qin has a chance to dominate the world. So, I came to Qin."
Lin Feng said: "You are a smart man."
Lu Guang continued: "I still have a question about the Duke and the State of Jin. The Duke married Princess Liuli and has a relationship with the State of Jin. Is the Duke really willing to destroy the State of Jin?"
Lin Feng's face became serious and he said: "This problem, or in other words, is not a problem at all. I am not willing to overthrow the Jin State, but Da Qin will be surrounded and move forward, and it will still overthrow the Jin State."
"Whether or not Jin will be destroyed does not depend on me. It depends on the whole Qin State."
"In addition, my marriage to Liuli is just a relationship between Liuli and I, and it does not involve the Jin State. I will not abolish the official position for personal reasons just because I married Liuli, and affect the Qin State's destruction of the Jin State. At most, it will be the future. If the Jin Kingdom is destroyed, I will save the lives of Liuli’s parents.”
Lin Feng said: "I can't control other things, and it shouldn't be my business."
Lu Guangdao: "The Duke is wise."
The two chatted and talked about some situations in the Qin State. In particular, Lin Feng had been in the Qin State for many years and had even been in charge of local government. Many of his experiences could give Lu Guang some advice, which would be helpful for Lu Guang's future local governance.
Before he knew it, time passed and a sound of footsteps came. Gao Xiaoyu was back.
Gao Xiaoyu took a file, handed it to Lin Feng, and said, "Sir, the situation of the Xiahou family is all in the file. In addition, Mr. Ying San said that although the Xiahou family has a long history, this generation is not strong."
"The highest official of the Xiahou family is General Wuwei in the army. He sits in the south of Shuzhou, which is not considered prominent. There is also a civil servant in the Xiahou family who serves as a doctor in the household department, which is not considered prominent."
Gao Xiaoyu continued: "The ancestors of the Xiahou family were the founding ministers of the country, and they have a long history."
"knew."
Lin Feng nodded.
He opened the files and read them carefully. It took him almost a quarter of an hour to read all the files.
"Lu Guang, take a look too."
Lin Feng handed over the dossier.
Lu Guang took it and browsed it quickly. After he read the information, Lin Feng asked: "All the information on the Xiahou family is here. Lu Guang, if you were asked to take action, where would you start?"
Lu Guang thought briefly and said directly: "My lord, if it were me, I would target the civil and military officials of the Xiahou family, impeach the two officials of the Xiahou family, and remove them. In this way, the Xiahou family will be like a tiger without teeth."
"In addition, the Xiahou family is not very strong. They took the initiative to deal with me this time. I am afraid that they are trying to gain a sense of presence and gain support from some people. In terms of strength, old nobles like the Xiahou family also have some reputations and are not special. Strong strength."
Lin Feng shook his head and said: "Your plan is too simple. And it only removes two officials, which will not have much impact on the Xiahou family."
Lu Guang said: "What is the Duke planning to do?"
Lin Feng's eyes were sharp and he said: "To deal with the Xiahou family, we must attack in three prongs. First, impeach two officials of the Xiahou family at the next court meeting; second, the Xiahou family runs a medicine shop and cut off supply of medicinal materials, and announced that the Lin family and Xiahou family will never cooperate, not in any aspect."
"Third, the Lin family will not cooperate with businessmen who cooperate with the Xiahou family. As long as they are tainted with the Xiahou family, the Lin family's business system will reject them."
"Three attacks have weakened the Xiahou family's political power and business power."
"In this way, it will be difficult for the Xiahou family to gain a foothold."
Lin Feng said: "The Xiahou family is not a particularly big family and cannot sustain it."
Lu Guang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he praised: "The Duke is great, I admire you. Impeachment is simple, not too difficult. But the Xiahou family's business is fundamental. Any big family does not care about money or interests. , In fact, money is more important than anyone else. Because with money, there is a foundation. The Duke of the State cut off the Xiahou family's business and cut off the cooperation between other businessmen and the Xiahou family, which can be said to be a drain on the bottom of the cauldron."
Lin Feng stood up and said: "This time, I will support you and let everyone know that the scholars selected by the imperial examination cannot be humiliated by anyone. When I was in the hall, I told you to have confidence in doing things. As long as everyone works hard, I am their source of confidence. This was something I never explained at the beginning, but now I want to say that I am here to ensure that no one will be bullied."
Lu Guang listened solemnly, stood up, bowed to Lin Feng and said: "The righteousness of the country!"
Lin Feng smiled, patted Lu Guang on the shoulder and said, "Do your job well, I'm optimistic about you."
After saying that, Lin Feng left.
Next, he will deal with the Xiahou family and those who impeached the Xiahou family. Hu Biao knelt down to apologize to Lu Guanglai, and Lu Guang could just handle it on his own.
