Chapter 4276: Man proposes, God disposes

Although Chen Xi felt a little sorry for Xun Shuang's death, he was also sad about Chen Shang's choice, and he also reported the helplessness of Sima Zong's death, but at least he could say one thing about the deaths of these three people. , deserved.

Perhaps Xun Shuang and Chen Shang can be said to have not intervened, at most they understand, and even Chen Shang can be said to be an outsider, but some things are good if you eat them, you can't say that you have received benefits, and you don't dirty your hands. That's right.

There are some things that need to be explained, and they need someone with a large enough weight to explain to them. Without this level, even if Chen Xi doesn't have the problem of being disheartened, he won't be moved by seeing them die casually.

Bureaucrats at the level of two thousand shi are indeed quite high, but in the eyes of the Chen family, the old patriarch died, more than 30,000 scholars came to the funeral, and thousands of families who came by car did not feel so distressed. In good conscience, with the literacy rate at that time, the network of 30,000 people was enough to wipe out all the bureaucrats.

The so-called heyday giants are just this kind of monsters, even if they need to consume favors and foundations every time they are activated, showing such power once is enough to make people calm and calm.

However, the situation of the Yuan family is different. What Yuan Yin said to Chen Xi, Chen Xi knows very well that it is true. It is very likely that the Yuan family wants to save Lu Su, and their family has no idea of ​​forming a good relationship with Lu Su. , their family is already fed up, and they are studying how to digest it.

Therefore, it is better to be more realistic than to study how La Lusu implements policies. Study the Eastern Europe development plan. At least the benefits in this plan will not be any worse than the policies issued by Chen Xi, and it is so blatantly placed in the Yuan family. before.

This is also the reason why the Yuan family didn't make any troubles at all in the past few years, and let them let it go. They even retreated as much as possible, and didn't want to show their heads in front of the big families. It can be said that if it wasn't for Chen Xi, he didn't want the banner bearer of any family. Title, plus there is really no second family that can support this great banner, the Yuan family has already slipped away.

Therefore, Chen Xi can also understand the Yuan family's thinking that they have been looking for opportunities to get rid of this thing, but this does not mean that Chen Xi can accept that the Yuan family is doing this at this time.

It is very special that the Yuan family has three titles. These three titles are Marquis of Xuancheng from Yuan Shu, Marquis of Ye from Yuan Tan, and Marquis of Anguoting from the Yuan family.

The so-called Liehou family is divided into two types. One is the hereditary Liehou family. This is a relatively normal Liehou family. This kind of Liehou family will be expelled from the country as long as the lineage dies once or twice. J.

The other is like the Deng family in Nanyang, where there are seven or eight princes in the family, so as long as there is no such thing as Kou's extinction until only one person is left, the extinct family can give the title to his brother Of course, this child will be adopted into this room.

The Yuan family belonged to the latter. The hereditary title of Marquis of An Guoting was inherited by Yuan Ji after Yuan Feng died. After Yuan Ji died, if he had no sons, he should be inherited by Yuan Shu. They all obtained the titles by special means, and were recognized by the country, and the titles were all higher than Tinghou.

Because Yuan Shao was taken care of by Yuan Ji in his early years, he adopted his eldest son, Yuan Tan, to the ex-heir Yuan Ji. In theory, Yuan Tan, as the stepson of Yuan Ji's lineage, should inherit the title of Marquis of An Guoting, but he couldn't hold back the uniqueness of the Yuan family in this life. After the attributes are adopted one by one, abnormal effects will be produced.

Yuan Tan's ability to secure the position of Duke Zhongguo with his ability led to the fact that there was no heir to the title of Marquis of An Guoting. Those who have the right to inherit have titles. This title must not be lost. If you lose it, you will die, so Yuan Tan will The title was returned to the elders of the Yuan family, and then Yuan Da, the oldest among the elders, took the lead, so that there would be no problem of injustice for the juniors. J.

Therefore, the so-called Marquis of An Guoting by Ruan Gong is Yuan Da who has already passed away.

what is this? Everyone is dying big brother, our Yuan family is also dying?

Fart! This is seizing the opportunity to settle accounts.

The Yuan family is definitely an outsider in this matter. Not only Chen Xi knows, but also all the big families know that the old Yuan family is now engaged in the development of Eastern Europe, and only then will they cross the Ural Mountains. They have the time and energy to do it. These.

There are indeed many benefits of winning the game. The question is, do the Yuan family still have extra manpower and resources to continue to enjoy these benefits? If you mess up, you are already a thorn in the eyes of a group of people, but you are strong enough, no one dares to make trouble, and even offend a big boss, isn't that a brain hole?

Thinking of the Yuan family's settlement, Chen Xi's face turned pale. The cold light that swept over Ruan Gong before was purely the substantive spirit exuded by the angry Chen Xi.

The recent situation on the side of the Han Dynasty made Chen Xi quite annoyed by the unfavorable things. Even if Lu Su had a reason, Chen Xi was still very angry. As a result, the Yuan family added chaos at this time!

Chen Xi went out of the palace gate, directly got on the frame prepared by Ruan Gong, and galloped all the way to the retirement residence of the Yuan family in Chang'an. Compared with Chen Shang, when he said that he was critically ill, he was more anxious. After all, Chen Xi When Shang died, Chen Xi understood the reason. Yuan Da died at this point in time, no matter what the reason was, he could create a lot of reasons.

Ruan Gong personally drove the car and parked outside Yuan's house, but at this time Yuan's residence in Chang'an was only slightly deserted, and there was no mourning, Chen Xi couldn't help squinting.

"Marquis Chen, it's true, I'm not joking." Ruan Gong bowed his head and explained, as a bureaucrat of the previous era, he was not clear with the Yuan family. Isn't this inevitable? Moreover, in the case of Chang'an, Communist Party Ruan also knew how much turmoil would be caused by Yuan Da's death now.

It is precisely because of this that after Yuan's family sent a secret letter to inform Ruan Gong of this matter, Ruan Gong went to inform Chen Xi after a little thought. This matter is too big!

Chen Xi squinted his eyes, looked left and right, and found that there were not many people on this street.

Although the Yuan family's largest house in Chang'an was taken over to set up the Huayang Smelting Department, the Yuan family moved to a secluded place and said it was for the three elders of the Yuan family to provide for the elderly, and it was jokingly called the place for the elderly, but the Yuan family was the Yuan family after all. Home, the lintel is placed there, as long as Sizhao City is still there, the lintel of the Yuan family's prosperous and wealthy family will not collapse.

Coupled with the accumulation and background of the five generations and three fathers, even if they moved to a secluded and quiet place, it is impossible for such a situation where there are few people.

"Did he really die?" Chen Xi looked at Ruan Gong and asked.

"It's true, and the person who came to send the news is the old housekeeper of the Yuan family." Ruan Gong said very cautiously, if the identity of the visitor could not be confirmed, and the current situation is so urgent, Ruan Gong would never Bring Chen Xi directly, after all, it is a huge risk.

Chen Xi sighed, he had to admit that he was out of luck.

Before Chen Xi knocked on the door, Yuan Sui, who was guarding the door, directly asked the guards to open the door halfway, and then dragged Chen Xi in, followed by Ruan Gong, and then the door was closed directly.

To be honest, this was already a very rude behavior, but Chen Xi, who had already realized what happened, didn't say anything. The Yuan family is more cautious now, and the more they explain their attitude.

"Chen Hou, I'm sorry, my eldest brother has been in poor health for the past few years, and after the age of ninety, he has suffered from many diseases. This time it was really an accident." Yuan Sui immediately apologized to Chen Xi, not caring about himself at all. His status, as well as his lifespan at an octogenarian age, are even a little low.

Yuan Da passed away, there is no conspiracy theory, it is pure Tianshou, yesterday was a bit cold, went to bed early, woke up at night with a big appetite, ordered supper, had a delicious meal, and did not wake up in the morning .

Don't the three elders of the Yuan family not see the big picture? Don't they know that it is most important not to attract attention at this time? But the lifespan is up) Yuan Da is just ordinary internal qi condensing, even if the ninety-year-old Gao Shou dies in the 21st century, he can say a word of joy and sorrow.

What's more, during the period of the Three Kingdoms, at this age, there was no such thing as death from illness, that is, the life span was up, and the body's functions were about to stop. As for the longevity needle, the principle of that thing has been explained very clearly. It has also changed from being happy and mourning at any time to being able to be happy and mourning at any time, and there is not much difference.

"You don't need to apologize. For this kind of thing, I can only say that I have been unlucky recently." Chen Xi said helplessly that he now has a little understanding of the saying "It depends on people to make things happen".

Those things that happened last year, although there are causes and effects behind them, have concentrated and exploded collectively now. To be honest, it is indeed due to some bad luck.

"We have already blocked this place. After we find out, Weiwei will notify you as soon as possible." Yuan Sui said sincerely, "The news has not been passed on, and we are not going to mourn. Wait until the matter is over, and then send another funeral."

Chen Xi nodded, and knew that this was the best solution, but in this case, Chen Xi frowned faintly.

"Brother has always put the family business as the most important thing. If you want to come under Jiuquan, you will agree with our current behavior." Yuan Tao, who hurried over, also followed up to explain.

"The situation of the Yuan family needs to be stable most. My brother told us the same way when he was here, but at this time, the news of my brother's death will muddy the water that is about to be clear anyway. Sometimes it is not what we want to do, but our position Certain behaviors will inevitably be interpreted by others, and at this time, doing nothing and maintaining stability is the right way." Yuan Sui then explained, "The people we use here can be trusted, and the news will not spread."

Chen Xi thought for a while, then looked at the expressions of the two elders of the Yuan family, and combined with the current situation, he also understood that this is not a good time to mourn.

"Since it can be blocked, it is actually the right choice not to notify us." When Chen Xi spoke, he looked at Ruan Gong very naturally.

The background of the Yuan family is indeed very strong, but in the current situation, it is definitely not an easy task for Ruan Gong to notify Chen Xi under the premise that several aristocratic families have lost their bosses and a large group of aristocratic families have died. Ruan Gong is already a Wei Wei, so there is no need to take this risk.

After all, the Yuan family apologized in person. According to the rules of the game, many people don’t have to commit suicide. And Ruan Gong took over the job. Once exposed in the future, the Yuan family and Chen Xi can’t help but you, Ruan Gong, can’t be dealt with.

"To prepare for the worst, just in case. Dao Yuan said eagerly," "Even if we have more confidence in our own family, we can't guarantee that other families will not know the news for a long time in the future." .”

Chen Xi nodded when he heard the words, expressing his understanding, and kept silent and did not communicate with him. After this matter is over, it is indeed possible to do it, but what if, what if other families find out and expose it, especially There are too many explanations for this kind of behavior that is kept secret.

It doesn't matter whether he was killed or not, what matters is that the current situation has the value of being killed, which is very important, so once he is stabbed by others after making a decision alone, the situation is likely to collapse.

Because at that time, in terms of the universal morality and officialdom rules of the Han Dynasty, it was Chen Xi who was out of line. Continue to pursue.

Therefore, many high-ranking officials in the Han Dynasty committed suicide and apologized after accidents, so that they would not harm their clans and descendants, and they could have a decent appearance. Although Chen Xi did not advocate it, it was difficult to destroy this legacy from the Spring and Autumn Period. moral inertia.

"Chen Hou, you also know that in the current situation, our Yuan family is the most stable one. We don't want any turmoil, we don't want to be affected, and we don't want to be dragged into trouble. It's best for us to maintain the status quo." Yuan Seeing Chen Xi's expression, Sui opened his mouth to explain.

"I understand this point. Although the current situation is not good for the Yuan family, it is not bad either. And this kind of situation that is not bad can be solved by strength. What you are most worried about is the chaos of the situation." Chen Xi pointed Nodded to express understanding.

"Yes, that's the truth. Our Yuan family is currently the least radical and most conservative of all the families in the Han Dynasty. We just want to slow down." Yuan Tao said very sincerely. It is true that the situation is very serious for the Yuan family It's not good, but as long as it doesn't get worse, they will be able to get through it sooner or later. This is the confidence of a strong man.

On the contrary, getting the situation out of control and falling into a quagmire is the last thing the Yuan family wants to face at the moment. Once they get into such trouble, they basically can't do anything.

As an aristocratic family, jumping out of this huge pit, the whole Yuan family knows that the big aristocratic families may not be able to do things well, but one failure is better than the other.

"I understand that after the Xun family is broken up, I will quickly cut through the mess and resolve it as soon as possible. You also restrain the major families here, cover up each other, and then mourn." Chen Xi thought for a while, and felt that this situation was a serious one. I can't delay anymore, I have made a decisive decision, but compared to the third question, I have to delay for some time.

"That's good." Yuan Sui and Yuan Tao looked at each other without hesitation. This result is already the best result so far, and they don't have much hope for other things.
