The soul wears a mother's womb, and was overheard by the emperor Laozi

Looking at the direction where the servant was going away, Master Lei showed a complicated expression.

He didn't stop, turned around and hurried towards the backyard.

He came to a magnificent door and knocked gently on the door.

bang bang bang...

"come in."

Inside the house, there was an old and weak voice.

Opening the door lightly, he walked in.

An old man, leaning on a cane, walked out slowly.

"Oh, it's Lei Ming, sit down, is there anything?"

Lei Ming sat on the chair respectfully, and waited until the old man was seated before speaking again.

"My lord, Long Lin, the Sixth Highness outside, is here, shall we go see him?"

"Oh, it's Yun'er's youngest son. I didn't expect that he would be the first person to visit here."

Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly together, showing a thoughtful look.

Lei Ming didn't say anything, just looked at his father quietly.

"Lei Ming, how do you think we should go to meet him? Is he here purely for the purpose of visiting relatives? Or does he have other plans?"

The old man's question made Lei Ming fall into deep thought.

Chapter 97

Lei Xiao was silent for a moment before raising his head again.

He knew very well in his heart that his father must have already had a countermeasure, and this was just to test him.

"Father, we have already known about Long Lin's situation."

"This Long Lin's performance in the palace can be said to be quite average, and there is nothing outstanding about it."

"Compared with the emperor back then, this child is undoubtedly much worse."

"The current emperor attaches great importance to literature, but this child, I heard that he hasn't been to the Hall of Learning for five years."

"Not only that, but after he went there, he behaved very averagely. Even Grand Master Wu had a very bad opinion of him."

When Lei Ming said this, he paused and looked at his father's reaction.

The old man looked very calm. Although his face was wrinkled, his eyes were very clear.

"I haven't been studying for five years. Wu Ziliang is an upright person. How could he have a good impression of such a student? It's normal."

The old man said these words very peacefully.

The voice is neither high nor low, and the face is neither happy nor angry.

Listening to Lei Ming's ears, he was stunned to see what was going on in his father's mind.

But at this time, he could only continue talking.

"On the other hand, this kid's elder brother, Long Qi, has been studying hard for ten years. Not only that, Long Qi has also practiced good martial arts."

"The child Long Qi's performance can be said to be quite good, a bit like the emperor when he was still a child."

"Judging from this child's performance, the son will guess that the emperor must also like it very much."

"But this Dragon Lin, my son feels that the emperor's love for him must be completely incomparable to that of Long Qi."

After Lei Ming finished speaking, he stopped again and looked at his father.

This time, the old man obviously showed a slight smile. Although it was very shallow, Lei Ming still saw it.

"Lei Ming, the analysis is good, and then?"

Lei Ming heard the words and continued to speak.

"Father, Long Lin's visit this time is nothing more than visiting relatives and seeking help."

"If this Longlin has any thoughts about the throne, then he must have come to seek our help and support. If he has no thoughts, then he is just here to visit relatives."

"Although this child, like Long Qi, is a relative of our Lei family, but they are princes, so they are bound to be different from others."

"For us, they are not just simple grandsons and nephews."

When Lei Ming said such words, a complex look flashed in his eyes.

After hearing this, the old man was very calm, but he sighed.

"Yes, after all, they are princes, His Highness."

After the old man said a word, there was no more to say.

Lei Ming saw it, so he could only continue talking.

"There is only one throne, and the prince who ascends to the throne can only be one person. Just like you supported the current emperor back then, we can only support one person."

"If you support two people at the same time, this must be the last thing the emperor wants to see."

After Lei Ming finished speaking, he stopped again. He had already seen that the old man obviously raised his eyebrows.

"Oh? Tell me, why would the emperor not want to see it?"

Lei Ming nodded and expressed his thoughts.

"Father, based on your influence in the court, it must be very far-reaching."

"Our every move will not only attract the attention of the emperor, but also the attention of the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty."

"If we don't have a clear goal, then a lot of ministers will bet indiscriminately at least, or turn their backs and turn to the other princes."

"I believe the emperor will not want to see such a thing happen."

This time, after Lei Ming finished speaking, the old man's smile obviously deepened.

"Yes, we and the emperor must be of the same mind."

Lei Ming immediately nodded firmly, expressing his approval.

"My lord, the selection of the Dragon Dynasty has always been based on selection. Whether it is in the early stage or in the later stage, it has a great influence. Therefore, our first step must be to have a clear goal."

"For the two children, this means that we can only stand behind one of them, and the other is destined not to be of much help."

"Without the help of our Lei family, it can be said that the other child will no longer have any assistance, and there is absolutely no possibility between the emperor and him."

"In this way, even if Long Lin feels resentment in his heart, it will not have too much impact on our Lei family. On the contrary, after Long Qi becomes the emperor, our Lei family can continue to prosper and rest easy."

Lei Ming finished speaking, his eyes were very firm, without any hesitation.

He is Lei Xiao's son, so he is naturally very clear about the old man's temperament.

The old man doesn't like people who don't have their own opinions the most. Among his brothers, he treats him best because he is the one with the strongest opinions among them.

This time, the old man obviously smiled happily, his eyes full of admiration.

"Well said, the Lei family is the most important thing in everything. You are worthy of being my son, Lei Xiao. Compared with your elder brothers, you are much stronger."

"In your opinion, our Lei family is going to choose the child Long Qi?"

When Lei Xiao asked, his whole expression suddenly changed completely and instantly. The original smile disappeared without a trace in an instant, and a serious face appeared on his face.

Seeing this majestic expression, Lei Ming trembled unconsciously.

Regarding his father's panic, he might not be able to get rid of it in his whole life. As long as he saw this expression, he would be subconsciously afraid.

But this kind of fear is just because of the shadow of childhood, which disappeared without a trace in a moment.

"Father, my child thinks that it can only choose Longqi, and it must be Longqi."

This time, Lei Ming's expression was also very serious.

This is his point of view, even if it conflicts with what the old man thinks in his heart, he must say it unswervingly.

The old man's eyes just stared straight at Lei Ming.

A powerful oppressive aura emanated from the old man's body.

Without saying a word, under such indifferent gaze, the cold sweat on Lei Ming's forehead immediately seeped out.

But his eyes were very firm, and the belief in choosing Long Qi did not change a little because of this.

After a long time, the old man put away his majesty and put on a smiling face.

"Since you have made a choice, you must be firm, but you must think carefully before making a choice."

"A decision of yours does not affect you alone, but the entire Lei Family, the entire Lei Clan."

"I, Lei Xiao, have led the Lei Clan to this day. It has not been an easy journey, but it is because of my unwavering heart that I have been able to get to this day."

Chapter 98 Grandpa Is Sick?

Although the old man was smiling, what he said was loud.

Lei Ming looked at his father, and when he heard this, his heart trembled for a moment.

In the past, I always wanted to be like my father, to be the master of the family, to be a patriarch, to lead the entire Thunder Clan, and to be respected by everyone.

But he found more and more that it is not easy to be the head of the family, he is under a heavy burden, and if he is a little careless, he will be doomed.

What my father said is right, every decision must be carefully considered.

Father led Lei Clan to this day, and he must be doing everything step by step.

Lei Ming's expression became more and more respectful, and he hurriedly expressed his opinion.

"Father is absolutely right, the child will follow the teachings of his lord father."

The old man still smiled peacefully, but just nodded.

Lei Ming saw everything in his eyes, but he didn't expect that after the old man nodded, he calmly didn't respond.

This intention is obvious, the next words are still up to him to say.

On the matter of choosing Longqi, he had also thought it over carefully, and after thinking about it, he still felt that there was no problem at all.

The old man didn't explicitly refuse, nor did he show any disappointment. It seems that the target he chose should be the same person.

After the matter of selecting candidates was decided, it was a matter of how to meet Long Lin.

And the core problem has been solved, and this problem has become much simpler.

"Father, my boy thinks that if Long Lin comes this time, it's fine for my boy to receive him."

The old man was still smiling, but he suddenly opened his mouth.

"Oh? Why is this? He is my grandson, and he came here specially, so why not see him?"

Lei Ming looked at the old man smiling, and felt very peaceful in his heart.

"Father, my son knows that he is your grandson and also my son's nephew, but he is the prince after all."

"Our Lei Mansion has a big family and a great business, and there are many people in the mansion. No one can be sure about these servants, so they have not been bribed."

"So we have to be careful in everything we do. There is no impenetrable wall in this world."

The old man nodded calmly and slightly, obviously agreeing with this statement.

"Father, your status is not ordinary after all. In the eyes of those who care about you, small things may turn into big things, and it is easy to cause suspicion."

"Since we have determined that Lei Mansion is standing beside Long Qi, then the first person you want to meet should be Long Qi, not this Long Lin."

"In this way, once the news spreads, everyone will understand the attitude of our Leifu. This will definitely be a good thing for the future."

"After seeing Long Qi, if Long Lin comes again, you will still treat him like a grandson. It is more appropriate to see Long Lin as a grandson."

"Father, what do you think?"

This time, Lei Ming asked his father's opinion. After all, this was just his suggestion. Long Lin is the grandson of the old man, so it is still up to the old man to make up his mind.

Ph... Phoo...

The old man took a few deep breaths, with a satisfied look on his face.

"Lei Ming, you are very thoughtful, and I feel relieved for my father."
