After Lei Xiao was silent for a moment, he raised his head again.
He knew very well that his father must have already had a countermeasure, and this was just to test him.
"Father, we already know everything about Long Lin's situation."
"This Long Lin's performance in the palace can be said to be quite average. There is nothing outstanding about him."
"Compared with the emperor back then, this child is undoubtedly far behind."
"The current emperor attaches great importance to literature, but I heard that this child has not even been to the Study Palace in five years."
"Not only that, after he went there, his behavior was very average. Even Grand Scholar Wu's opinion of him was very bad."
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 studied for five years. Wu Ziliang is an upright person. How could he have a good impression of such a student? This is normal."
The old man said these words very calmly.
The voice is neither high nor low, and the face is neither happy nor angry.
Hearing the thunder in his ears, he could not discern the thoughts in his father's heart.
But at this time, he could only continue talking.
"On the other hand, this child's elder brother Long Qi has been studying hard for ten years. Not only that, Long Qi has also developed good martial arts."
"The performance of this child Long Qi can be said to be quite good, a bit like the emperor when he was still a child."
"Judging from this child's behavior, my son would venture to guess that the Emperor must also be extremely fond of him."
"But this Long Lin, my son feels that the emperor's love for him is definitely incomparable to Long Qi's."
After Lei Ming finished speaking, he stopped again and looked at his father.
This time, the old man showed a clear smile. Although it was very shallow, Lei Ming still saw it.
"Lei Ming, your analysis is good, what next?"
Lei Ming heard this and continued to speak.
"Father, Long Lin's visit this time is nothing more than visiting relatives and seeking help."
"If this Long Lin has ideas about the throne, then he must have come to seek our help and support. If he has no ideas, then he is just here to visit relatives."
"Although this child, like Long Qi, is a relative of our Lei family, they are princes, so they are bound to be different from others."
"For us, they are not just simple grandchildren and nephews."
When Lei Ming said these words, a complicated look flashed in his eyes.
After hearing this, the old man was very calm, but he sighed.
"Yes, they are princes and His Highness after all."
After the old man said something, there was nothing more to say.
Lei Ming saw this and could only continue talking.
"There is only one throne, and there can only be one prince who ascends the throne. 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 clearly raised his eyebrows.
"Oh? Tell me, why is the emperor not willing to see it?"
Lei Ming nodded and expressed his thoughts.
"Father, your influence in the court must be very profound."
"Every move we make will not only attract the attention of the emperor, but also the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty."
"If we don't have a clear goal, then many ministers will be confused and make random bets, or they will turn against other princes."
"I believe the emperor would not like 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, showing great agreement.
"Father, the selection of reserves in the Dragon Dynasty has always been based on selection. Whether it is in the early stage or in the later stage, it has a huge impact, so our first step must be to have a clear goal."
"For two children, this means that we can only stand behind one of them, and the other one is destined not to be of much help."
"Without the help of our Lei family, the other child can be said to have no help, and there is absolutely no possibility between the throne and him."
"In this way, even if the child Long Lin is resentful, it will not have a big impact on our Lei family. On the contrary, after Long Qi becomes the emperor, our Lei family can continue to prosper and have peace of mind."
After Lei Ming finished speaking, his eyes were very firm without any hesitation.
He is Lei Xiao's son, so he naturally knows the old man's temperament very well.
The old man dislikes people who have no opinions. Among his brothers, he is the best to him because he is the one with the strongest opinions among the brothers.
This time, the old man was obviously smiling very happily, with admiration in his eyes.
"Well said, the Lei family is the most important in everything. You are worthy of being my son, Lei Xiao. Compared to your brothers, you are much stronger."
"In your opinion, our Lei family should 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 look appeared on his face.
Seeing this majestic expression, Lei Ming trembled inwardly.
He was afraid that he would never be able to change his father's fear in his entire life. As long as he saw this expression, he would subconsciously be afraid in his heart.
But this fear was just the shadow of my childhood, which disappeared without a trace in a moment.
"Father, the child thinks that he can only choose Long Qi, and he must choose Long Qi."
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, he must say it unswervingly.
The old man's eyes were looking straight at Lei Ming.
A powerful oppressive aura emanated from the old man's body.
Without saying a word, under such indifferent gaze, cold sweat broke out on Lei Ming's forehead in an instant.
But his eyes were very firm, and his belief in choosing Long Qi did not change at all.
After a long time, the old man put away his dignity and put on a smile.
"Now that you have made a choice, you must be firm, but before making a choice, you must think carefully."
"Your decision does not affect you alone, but the entire Lei family and the entire Lei clan."
"I, Lei Xiao, have led the Thunder Clan to where we are today. This journey has not been easy, but the reason we have been able to get to where we are today is because of our unswerving heart."
