Jia Lian smiled, waved his hand, and said, "This is nothing. Those who dare to harm me now are either fools or fools."

Lin Ruhai laughed and asked Jia Lian: "Do you know that at the court meeting today, Duke Ding wrote a letter to recommend the replacement of the generals of the Nine-Border borders, what is the intention?"

Jia Lian smiled and said, "It's just to show kindness to the emperor."

Lin Ruhai shook his head slowly and said, "It's not all. This replacement of the generals of the Nine-side is a waste of money for the emperor. It's a pity to abandon it because the emperor now has few military generals, and even fewer people can afford the heavy responsibilities of the Nine-side. Therefore, the Duke of Ding's intention is a good thing for the court, but it is not very useful to the emperor."

Jia Lian nodded: "That's right, but even so, the emperor will accept his affection. He doesn't know what the old thief's children and grandchildren have done. He actually let him do this. This move has offended many people."

Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "This is the cleverness of the old Duke. The old Duke has been in the court for three generations of emperors in his life. He has been standing in the court for forty or fifty years. His disciples and old relatives all over the world. In addition, he holds military power and surrounds the nobles of the Taizong lineage. It can be said that it is a big obstacle for the emperor to see. As long as Duke Ding goes, the emperor will sooner or later liquidate the Xu family. However, Duke Ding does this now, undoubtedly hand over the military power in the Xu family. No matter who has the military power, it has nothing to do with the Xu family. Then he offends the nobles of the Taizong lineage. This move will definitely lead to many nobles of the Taizong lineage and the Xu family gradually drifting away. In addition, Duke Ding and the Jia family have had the evil things to do with you. This undoubtedly preserves the future of the Xu family. Even if it is difficult to stand firm in the court in the future, it will not end up being confiscated and exterminated. This is what Duke Ding wants."

Hearing this, Jia Lian was speechless: "This old thief turned out to be using me as a ladder."

Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Lian funny when he heard this: "What do you think? How could Duke Ding such a cunning figure behave like that, how could he offend you, a new high-ranking in the court for no reason? Even if he offended the cabinet master, he would not be willing to offend you, because the cabinet master still has hope of being pulled down. As long as you don't rebel and nothing happens, there will be a place in the court. Therefore, Duke Ding competes with you in the court, which is for the emperor to show. Although the emperor did not react at that time, he must have reacted now."

Jia Lian smiled and said, "I'll just say that, why did Duke Ding suddenly get nervous and target me? It turns out that he is really acting for him."

Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Lian interestingly and asked, "You must not care, but I think the gift from Dingguo Duke's Mansion should have been delivered to your mansion."
