Over the past hundred years, the governor-general of Yanxi has been replaced many times, but none of them have been so dangerous. In addition to foreign enemies looking around, God also came to join in the fun. For three consecutive years, the natural
The disaster seriously dampened Yanxi's weak vitality, but these are not serious. The most troublesome thing is actually the internal hidden dangers that are about to explode. In terms of strength, the Liu family is still one of the most powerful families in Yanxi.
First of all, Liu Xiaoquan still has a very high prestige in Yanxi. The problem is that Liu Xiaoquan is already bedridden and hemiplegic. Although he can still survive, according to the agreement of the Yanxi aristocratic families, Liu Xiaoquan must abdicate at this time to make way for the next generation. This matter
There was no room for negotiation. Even Liu Xiaoquan himself did not dare to say "no". If this happened, trouble would come.
It is true that the Liu family is powerful, but as the heir to the Liu family, Liu Zhenying has a reputation that makes everyone admire him. Secondly, he has a fatal flaw, that is, he is a queen. Although the position of the governor of Yanxi has a queen,
It doesn't matter at all, but from the perspective of the Liu family, it is difficult to let Liu Zhenying take the position. Otherwise, the troubles will definitely be greater in the future. This is doomed to irreconcilable conflicts within the Liu family. Even Liu Xiaoquan cannot
The internal disputes within the Liu family were suppressed. After all, the Liu family has been passed down for hundreds of years, with deep roots and many children. Although Liu Xiaoquan is the head of the family, he has to consider the opinions of other elders. Do you really want to replace Liu Zhenying?
But there is no suitable successor candidate. After all, Liu Zhenhao and Liu Zhenxiong are both commoners, and they are not qualified to inherit the position of head of the family. The result of forcibly replacing Liu Zhenying can only be that the Liu family itself will be "disorganized" first, and other aristocratic families will be advantaged in vain.
Under the threat of death, Liu Xiaoquan did not dare to act rashly, so he could only adopt delaying tactics, holding on to his illness and refusing to give up his throne.
Liu Xiaoquan refused to retreat, and the other aristocratic families naturally refused to agree. The Zheng family was the first to jump out to oppose them. Although they had not yet raised the flag of rebellion, they had actually separatized Xizhou as their base, and the army was ready to seize the governor's house.
As for the Shi and Zhang families, they are also making preparations secretly, waiting eagerly for the Liu and Zheng families. After both the Liu and Zheng families have suffered losses, another fisherman will gain. In this way, the civil war in Yanxi is almost inevitable. If
Without many foreign enemies, it wouldn't be a big deal for the family to have a fight behind closed doors. At least for the Wang family, it matters who wins and who loses, but the current situation is so obvious that Yan Xi can't stand it anymore.
It was too much trouble.
If they want to stabilize Yanxi, or prevent Yanxi from falling into chaos, the Liu family can't do it, and the Zheng family can't do it either. As for the weakest Shi, the Zhang family can do it better.
For the sake of force, the reason is very simple. The goals of these four families are all focused on the position of the Grand Governor. They are all people in the game. It happens that no one has the absolute strength to subdue others. The only one who has a glimmer of hope can do it.
The only person aware of this matter is the Wang family, who holds the position of Governor-General. However, this hope is only a glimmer. It is not too much. The reason is that the Wang family does not have military power in their hands. However, the Wang family controls Yanxi's financial and civil service system after all.
, has the basis to mediate all parties. Wang Yue knows this, and Xiao Wei also knows it. Both sides do not want Yanxi to be in chaos, so the two sides have the possibility to sit down and discuss conditions. However,
Well, both sides don't want to reveal their trump cards first, so they try to test each other. Just like before two peerless swordsmen are about to fight, they always connect with each other to understand each other's weaknesses.
A truth.[
Faced with Wang Yue's desperate move to drag him into the game, Xiao Wei actually wanted to laugh. After all, Xiao Wei actually didn't have any real trump card in his hand, and it was not as good as Wang Yue had predicted. He came under the secret order of the imperial court or Prince Xiang. Of course, if Wang Yue thought this way, Xiao Wei would never object. Not only did he not object, he also deliberately acted to induce Wang Yue to deepen this wrong judgment. For this reason , Xiao Wei deliberately told the truth, but also played an inscrutable silence, deliberately deepening Wang Yue's misjudgment.
If Xiao Wei was secretly laughing in his heart, Wang Yue was sneering in his heart - in Wang Yue's view, the court or King Xiang sending Xiao Wei here at this time was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface. As for the theory of horse trading, it is just a cover. The root cause is the battle for the governor of Yanxi. From Wang Yue's perspective, the imperial court will never want to see a "chaos" in Yanxi at this time. It's very simple. To fight against foreign aggression, you must first settle the internal affairs. Today's imperial court has a turbulent undercurrent. It doesn't want to see chaos in the periphery, let alone many foreigners invading the border areas. This requires Yanxi to maintain stability. Regarding curbing the invasion of foreigners, there is not much difference between the views of today's emperor and King Xiang. The only difference is in who is supported to ascend to power, and this is precisely the fundamental point that Wang Yue is concerned about. Before finding out Xiao Wei's trump card, Wang Yue naturally did not want to expose his old trump card prematurely. Therefore, Xiao Wei played silent, and Wang Yue was naturally not to be outdone. He came to accompany him to the end, one old and one young. The foxes all sat upright, but never spoke first. As a result, the spacious study became strangely quiet.
Silence, absolute silence, so eerily quiet. Under such silence, it is definitely a test of patience. Needless to say, Wang Yue, as a great scholar, is naturally very good at cultivating qi, so he should remain silent. Even if he was "forced" with a knife, he couldn't make him speak. As for Xiao Wei, it was a bit difficult. Even though Xiao Wei had lived for two generations, it was really difficult to compare with Wang Yue in the ability to nourish qi. To compare these Taishan-level figures is to rely on perseverance to persevere. However, perseverance has its limits after all. A quarter of an hour passed, and half an hour passed. No matter how amazing Xiao Wei's perseverance is, , at this point, I really couldn’t bear it any longer.
Damn, something is wrong. Isn’t this using your shortcomings to defeat others’ strengths? Damn it, I won’t play with you anymore! Xiao Wei looked at Wang Yue who was always as steady as a mountain, and couldn’t help but smile bitterly in his heart, realizing that he was talking to such an old man It was really a huge mistake for this guy to be impatient. He rolled his eyes, picked up the tea bowl, took a small sip, and said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, what are you talking about?" How was the genocide discovered? And do you know who did it?"
Seeing that Xiao Wei finally opened his mouth, Wang Yue showed a faint smile and asked unhurriedly: "Why does the young prince care about this matter?"
Why? Ha, this is a good question, aren't you asking it knowingly? Xiao Wei muttered in his heart, but his face was solemn, and he said coldly: "These barbarian tribes dare to assassinate the little king, and they are guilty. Forgive me, someone stepped in to help Xiao Wang vent his anger. Xiao Wang should be grateful last time. What do you think, Mr. Wang?"
"It makes sense. It's very good to repay a favor." Wang Yue pretended not to understand what Xiao Wei meant, nodded solemnly and answered eloquently.
"..." Xiao Wei choked hard at Wang Yue's words, secretly cursed the old fox, rolled his eyes slightly, and said seriously: "This tribe has colluded with the Black Bone Sect bandits to plot against me, Yanxi."
It is necessary to kill them all, but how they are connected with the Black Bone Sect must be investigated. Furthermore, how the Black Bone Sect jihadists sneaked across the Loulan ancient road should also be investigated deeply. I don’t know what Mr. Wang thinks.
?”
"Well, yes, that's true." Wang Yue still replied seriously, not moved by Xiao Wei's words at all.
Ha, you old man, you are really tough! Xiao Wei had long known that today's conversation was destined to be an extremely difficult tug-of-war, but seeing Wang Yue so calm at this time, he couldn't help but feel a little troubled.
Seeing that he had fallen into passivity, he couldn't help but have a headache. He didn't want to expose his flaws in front of an old fox like Wang Yue. Otherwise, he might be betrayed by the old guy and have to help count the money.
Woolen cloth.
"Since Mr. Wang also thinks so, then that's it. According to Xiao Wang, the Zheng family collaborated with the enemy first and killed people and silenced them later. Such evil deeds should be severely punished. Xiao Wang is not the only one who thinks so. The two uncles Shi and Zhang
The same is true, oh, by the way, the two uncles once proposed that the coalition forces send out troops to annihilate the Zheng family. After thinking about it, Xiao Wang thought it was quite feasible. If Mr. Wang also objects, that's fine, haha, that's fine."
Seeing that Wang Yue was calm and motionless, Xiao Wei suddenly raised his heart and threw out a trump card.
As soon as Xiao Wei said these words, no matter how good Wang Yue was at cultivating qi, he couldn't help but feel a wave of excitement in his heart - the current situation in Yanxi seemed to be that the Liu and Zheng families were competing for the upper hand, while the Shi and Zhang families were waiting and watching. In fact, the current situation in Yanxi
Otherwise, these four families are all in the game. If the Shi and Zhang families proposed this, they would naturally not have any good intentions, and would only make things "chaotic" out of control. In the end, under the "chaos",
The Shi and Zhang families may be able to profit from this, but the greater possibility is that Yanxi will be destroyed, and this is a result Wang Yue absolutely does not want to see.
"Oh?" Although Wang Yue had a slight commotion in his heart, he never brought it to his face. He just let out a noncommittal sigh, which seemed to indicate Xiao Wei to continue.
"Mr. Wang clearly knows that Xiao Wang has long said that the Black Bone Sect is our great enemy in Yanxi and cannot be taken lightly. If we lead the wolf into the house now, we will be in trouble later. If we can plot to assassinate Xiao Wang and Shi,
The Zhang family will surely ride horses across Yanxi in the future, and they have to be on guard. If you want to fight against the outside world, you must keep the inside at bay. If you don't get rid of the internal thieves, it will be difficult to quell the external troubles. In today's history, the two uncles of Zhang are in agreement, and Mr. Wang also disagrees.
, then the matter will be easy to handle. I think the Governor also has this intention, and big things can be done!" Xiao Wei laughed and analyzed it freely, looking full of confidence.
"Yes, that's a good idea." Wang Yue nodded silently and agreed, then shook his head and said, "What if the Zheng family is not the only one who colludes with the Black Bone Cult?"
Huh? There's something fishy about this! When Xiao Wei heard Wang Yue's words, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. He rolled his eyes and vaguely guessed the mystery. His expression changed slightly and he fell silent...
