Chapter 4278: It's a showdown, I'm just pulling sideways

After Chen Xi notified the elders of the Political Yuan, he didn't bother to care what they thought. To be honest, Chen Xi didn't stop anything he wanted. Notified, Chen Xi didn't expect to be able to block it.

Sun Qian and Jian Yong were also forced to return later. To be honest, when these two people heard about this, they knew it was a lot of trouble and didn't want to deal with it at all. In addition, both sides still had a lot of work to do. Let me pretend to be dead, one of the twelve elders has the capital anyway.

As a result, after Chen Xi didn't come back at the estimated time, Chen Xi personally wrote a letter, and both of them ran back helplessly. There was nothing to say, and Chen Xi wrote the letter himself. It would be impossible not to come back, even if the two of them The reason is very good-I only have a daughter, and I am married, and, I have no offspring directly, it's none of my business!

"In short, the cause and effect of the matter is like this." Chen Xi explained to Sun Qian and Jian Yong very flatly. Don't want it, and no one will inherit the hereditary princes, so what do you like.

"Zi Chuan, are you listening to the truth, or are you lying?" Jian Yong and Chen Xi have known each other for more than ten years. If the other party blocked him from asking about this kind of matter, he had to give a formal answer. , It’s just a formal and official answer, not necessarily the truth, so let’s talk about it.

"I brought both of you to my home. What do you think I want to hear?" Chen Xi said rather sighingly. Among the twelve elders, three of them can be proud of this matter, and the one in front of them Jian Yong and Sun Qian are two of them.

"The truth is, Liu Ye did the right thing." Jian Yong and Sun Gan looked at each other, and then gave an answer. These two have no heirs, no descendants, and hold great power. They can basically serve the public wholeheartedly. On the national side, the two of them think that Liu Ye is right.

"Sure enough, you all think so too." Chen Xi nodded and said.

"Let's put it this way, after this matter was made public, all of us understood the reason why we couldn't make it public, and after we've known each other for so many years, we all know that you are the smartest and most powerful among us, I'm afraid you can understand our Why do you think so?" Sun Gana said with a smile on his somewhat dark and red skin due to the wind and sun.

"I can understand that the two of you are purely from the standpoint of the country, and the Guishuang elite area is too large, it is an imperial industry. Once entrusted, as long as the team is complete, you will have the ability to fight against the central government. You can't just think that this generation is loyal. The next generation will also be like this." Chen Xi nodded and said.

"No, I don't even believe in the loyalty of this generation." Sun Qian said with a snort.

"You are someone who studied Confucianism from Kang Chenggong, and you don't even believe in the loyalty of this generation?" Chen Xi scolded with a smile, but smiled, seeing Sun Qian's serious expression, Chen Xi stopped laughing.

"Okay, you're right." Chen Xi sighed and said, "The reason is that it's too far away, so I chose to enfeoff."

"It's good to add some sand, so that they can counterattack if they are not loyal." Jian Yong said calmly, "You give them too much, and they will not be able to hold it firmly."

"Actually, it's safe." Chen Xi sighed, but he didn't explain in the end. Now there are four veterans who clearly consider this matter from the standpoint of the country. Even these four will be subject to Liu Bei's forces. The impact, the volume is not small.

"Actually, I think it's fine if you arrange it. How much they can get is their ability. That's the essence of an empire." Jian Yong said indifferently, "Sometimes, you don't need to Feed them food, let them fight with those who want to rob them of their fruits, and it can also temper them."

"We can't fight, that's the problem." Chen Xi said helplessly.

"Isn't there still soldiers?" Sun Gan said casually, "And only what they robbed is what they really want. What you gave is too good, but it doesn't feel real."

Chen Xi was thoughtful when he heard the words.

"And don't just think about fighting inside, those soldiers under our command can't beat the family. Of course, we also admit that if we really want to talk about political struggle, we may not be able to fight against the family at this level. Those people are really good at this .” Jian Yong said somewhat sadly.

"Putting it out, to put it too far, it's really divided, the soldiers and the big families are all squatting there, the family can't beat the family, it's been infected, etc., won't they find someone? To put it too much Well, at that time, who will Liu Ziyang stand for?" Sun Gan looked indifferent.

"I feel that the perspectives of the two of you have changed a lot in the past few years." Chen Xi smacked his lips twice, and said with some admiration. At that time, Liu Ye will naturally stand under his command!

"It's not that our perspective has changed, it's that you pursue perfection and control too much. In fact, there's no need to do that. Letting go and trusting those people is also a choice. More importantly, this itself is something that must be faced. The choice is either to be assimilated by the family, or to become a family." Sun Qian looked at Chen Xi calmly and said.

"If you can't do it, you can still sideline. People like Wen He, Feng Xiao, and Xiao Zhi will not be weaker than the big families in playing tricks, and they have the strength to support them. In fact, there is nothing to be afraid of." Jian Yong said very flatly. , "As for the part that will inevitably be infected, it will be used as tuition fees."

Chen Xi sighed lightly a few times and said nothing, as if he acquiesced to the two people's answers.

After Jian Yong and Sun Qian came back, they went to the Imperial Prison to see Lu Su and Man Chong, and Mi Zhu went to Lu Su's house on purpose. I know Mrs. Lu is critically ill.

Of course, it is impossible for a person to die. If you are about to die, you will really look down on Ji Xiang's medical skills. Of course, you have to suffer.

When Mi Zhu went, he thought Mrs. Lu was critically ill and was going to inform Lu Su, but Mrs. Lu grabbed her wrist and couldn't even struggle, so she gave up this idea and made sure Mrs. Lu was fine.

As for Mrs. Lu's question about Lu Su, Mi Zhu couldn't say anything. He could only say that it was a big matter, but Lu Su's people would not have any safety issues. As for other things, there was no guarantee. People wanted to ask something else, Ji Xiang rushed over, an anesthetic needle knocked Mrs. Lu down, and started the treatment again.

That scene scared Mi Zhu enough, but Ji Xiang said indifferently that it was nothing, it was just normal treatment, and sent Mi Zhu back.

On the other side of the prison, compared to Lu Su's side, where no one came to see it, Man Chong's side had people coming to see it every now and then, and today it was Man Wei who came to see his father.

"Father, this is the meat porridge your daughter-in-law made for you. You can drink it while it's hot." Man Wei looked at his father squatting in the prison, feeling a little bit emotional, the environment was reversed, and he was a little happy.

"Is the imperial prison so loose? You can come in? After I'm gone, is this how Zhongyu and the others manage the imperial prison?" Man Chong looked at Man Wei and said somewhat dissatisfied.

"Come on, you, the person who broke the local barrier, either committed suicide or went out after a while, and still no one can provoke him. Those who can enter the prison are all big shots. Without a clear order, who would dare to stop it?" Man Wei said angrily that he has already married and has a serious source of income. Although he eats soft food, the food is delicious, so naturally he is not afraid of his father.

"But even you can come in, there is already a problem with the management." Man Chong looked at his son, blowing his beard and staring.

"Father, sometimes, you need to face up to my ability. Maybe in your opinion, I am able to stand out now under your protection, but in fact, without you, I have many ways to try, and I think , without you, I can become a bureaucrat with two thousand shi." Man Wei sighed and said, "I am not the trash you think, it is difficult to get in here, but it doesn't mean that I can't get in without relying on you."

Man Wei's talent is very good, even as he said, even if there is no Man Chong, he can become two thousand stones by himself. Of course, it is very difficult to become the Central Nine Ministers, but even if he cannot , Man Wei is already among the best.

"But there is one thing, without you, I might not be able to marry Min'er." Man Wei sighed and said, "I have carefully recalled my situation, except for marrying Miner, other things, I can actually do without Your reputation can do it."

Man Chong looked at his son, and Man Wei looked at his father without avoiding it, "Actually, you don't need to make arrangements for me. Among these second generations, I may be considered outstanding."

It is true that he is not as good as those heavenly geniuses, but Man Wei basically has enough ability to inherit everything Man Chong left behind and support it.

"It's really conceited." Man Chong said suddenly, Man Wei's face was expressionless, and he didn't want Man Chong to add another sentence, "It's exactly the same as when I was young."

Man Wei was stunned, it was the first time he heard such words from his father.

"Don't think about it, I will come out when the Taiwei comes back in a few days." Man Chong said to Man Wei coldly, "As long as I am still in the Man family, you don't need to come forward."

Man Wei frowned, "Is that so? That means the news I received was fake news? It shouldn't be."

"What news did you receive?" Man Chong asked with a frown.

"It is said that General Ganga worked behind the scenes to seek rewards, which caused Situ and Shang Shupu to face each other head-on, and you were also affected. But after Situ and you are imprisoned, this matter still needs to be resolved, so Shang Shupushe gave the Taiwei a suggestion It is said that the elite area of ​​Guishuang will be divided, and the meritorious ministers will be rewarded after the war." Man Wei did not hide from Man Chong, and directly told what he knew.

Man Chong's complexion became much uglier in an instant, even if the news was not completely correct, it was not Man Wei who should know, "Where did you get this news from?"

"Ah?" Looking at Man Chong's expression, Man Wei instantly realized that there was something wrong with the news.

"This is not news you should know." Man Chong stared at Man Wei and asked.

"I checked the source of some private rumors. They came from the court. I can't find any way to look further." Man Wei is not stupid, he has to confirm this kind of news to some extent.

"Go and find your Uncle Liu and let him come over." Man Chong ordered directly to Man Wei.

Man Wei frowned, somewhat dawdling, and then Man Chong scolded with a livid face, "Go!"

Soon Liu Ye rushed over, Man Chong looked at Liu Ye and asked directly, "Zi Yang, did you release this news? Or Wen Ru!"

"Whoever owns the intelligence system is the one who released it. Even if I want to mix sand, I don't mix it like this, and it's not at this time. Wenru, Wenru hasn't figured out who to stand for now. I'm worried now. What's more, Wenru directly lowered the lower limit of canonization to level six!" Liu Ye shook his head and said, He has nothing to hide from Man Chong, which one of them is with the other.

"Feng Xiao!" Man Chong gritted his teeth and said, "It will become an open secret if it is spread out so early. Isn't that the time for the big families to prepare?"

"No, from Fengxiao's standpoint, a direct showdown, and then a clear stand, is almost saying that I'm pulling sideways, which is also a way of thinking." Liu Ye waved his hand and said, "It's impossible to hide this secret, There is no difference between a few days earlier and a few days later, the Taiwei is back, and the middle and upper-level people will announce it, and the big families will know it on the same day."

It is impossible to expect those middle and upper classes not to spread it to the outside world. It is not a matter of strictness or not, but that these people are not entirely in the same position. Some of them are offshoots of the family, and there may be sidelines fighting the direct line at other times. The idea of ​​the idea, now this kind of opportunity, in order to eat more, they will also notify the family to make preparations.

Therefore, it is impossible to expect that it will not be rumored.

In fact, as long as Chen Xi passes it on to the twelve elders, the top generals will pass it on to the outside world.

Guo Jia just realized that if he didn't show his attitude first, Liu Bei would have to spread the word when he came back in a few days. By then, saying so would not be deterrent, so why not go ahead and tell the big families clearly that I am just on guard against you, and Earlier than you know, more fully prepared, and ready to **** you, come if you have the guts!

"He alone is not enough!" Man Chong said through gritted teeth.

"No, he will soon be more than one person. His attitude is also making up for the loss, and it is the most effective way to make up for it-tell the middle and upper echelons of the military directly, for fear of farts, even though you are at the wrong time. In the wrong way, our interests have been damaged, but we are still alive and will stand on your side." Liu Ye waved his hand and said.

Playing conspiracy at this time? The more you immerse yourself in intrigues and tricks, the more you will be unable to play the major families!
