Jia Mansion, Lixiang Garden, Xue Baochai looked at Xue Ren sitting outside and asked uncertainly.
"Right now, the rebel king of Dongping is coming fiercely, approaching the capital. It seems that he is sure of victory, but there are some things that cannot be seen by just looking at them."
Xue Ren reached out and brushed his beard and said meaningfully.
"We are the only ones here right now, so I will say some things directly. However, these words can only come out of my mouth and into your ears, and must not be spread outside!"
Xue Ren glanced at Xue Pan for a few times, but in the end he shook his head in his heart. Fortunately, what he said was not the kind that could not be passed on. In such a situation, if the matter is not explained clearly,
I'm afraid the people in the house can't feel at ease at all.
"The country will be destroyed, and there will be signs of national subjugation. It has only been more than a hundred years since the founding of Dakang. Four generations of emperors have been passed down to this dynasty. The contemporary kings are working hard to govern, and their ministers are like champions. They have pacified the northern border and expanded the western barbarians.
Although there have been natural disasters, there are no enemies waiting around, which is a sign of prosperity for the country."
"this......"
When Xue Baochai and Aunt Xue heard these remarks, they didn't react for a moment. If it was really according to what Xue Ren said, then what happened to these three ways of rebelling against the king? The emperor obeyed the weather and should not have a good harvest.
Peace?
"This is from the perspective of luck. There should be no catastrophe in Dakang in the next few decades."
Xue Ren sighed.
"So according to what my second uncle said, the current predicament in the capital is??"
Among the people in the room, Baochai calmed down the fastest.
Although Aunt Xue is an adult, her views on many things may not be as unique as Baochai's. As for Xue Pan, at this moment, it is probably the left ear that goes in and the right ear that goes out.
Ever since Jia Baoyu accepted her favor, this guy has lost a playmate. On weekdays, Aunt Xue always takes Jia Baoyu as an example, saying that a prodigal son never pays back for his money. If Jia Baoyu can become a scholar, Xue Pan can naturally do the same.
Of course, at the beginning, I planned to use Jia Chun as an example, but the Xue family was such a single family, and Aunt Xue was not willing to send people to the battlefield. After going back and forth, she gradually gave up her thoughts. After all, there is such a thing as military merit.
, people with bad luck will not be blessed.
"Of course it's not a big problem."
Xue Ren narrowed his eyes and spoke again.
"Can......"
Baochai was about to speak again when he saw Xue Ren waved his hand and said.
"Don't panic, just listen to me slowly!"
"The Dongping uprising was not just one of his troops, but two groups of people revolted together. The reason was that the champion marquis killed the three princes, and these three princes raised troops to force the imperial court to surrender!"
"The matter here also involves Pan'er. Speaking of which, Jia Chu is also involved. No one in the huge capital is willing to fall out with these three people. If it weren't for Jia Chu, I'm afraid the Xue family would be eaten dry and stripped by these people. From this
So, what is the power of these three vassal kings?"
Speaking of this, Xue Ren's heart sank. The three vassal princes had raised their troops and respected themselves, and they had become an irresistible force. It was only a matter of time before an incident occurred, but now Jia Chu had just advanced it.
"In the past two years, the weather in Dakang has changed suddenly. Most areas in Hebei, Henan, Shandong and even Jiangnan have failed to harvest anything, and there have been widespread complaints among the people. If Jia Qi hadn't brought back those two miraculous crops, the imperial court at this time would have been
Falling apart."
As he continued to dig deeper, Xue Ren revealed the root cause of the chaos in the world in the past few years. Natural and man-made disasters have occurred, and the people have already been in chaos. If it were not for the things Jia Qi brought back, it is estimated that all parts of Dakang would have revolted.
Food is the most important thing for the people. How can the people live a stable life if they don't even have enough to eat?
"A harvest gave the common people hope, so the uprising posture in various places collapsed. It was just that some people tasted the sweetness of being the king of the mountain and were reluctant to give up their power. Each occupied the mountain and became the king. This led to the chaos
There are many man-made disasters in Kang territory."
"And these three vassal kings already have heavy troops. The natural disaster at this time is a disaster for Dakang, but for them, it is an opportunity. An opportunity to wear a yellow robe!"
"Originally, it might not be a big deal for the court that these three people raised an army, but it was only later that the champion disappeared and the situation got out of control."
Xue Ren seems to be particularly confident in Jia Chu. It seems that as long as Jia Chu is there, nothing will happen to the capital, and even the whole world will not be in chaos.
"Second uncle, is this too much..."
Although she knew that Jia Qi had extraordinary ability in leading troops in war, hearing Xue Ren's tone, Baochai couldn't help but deny it with uncertainty.
Aunt Xue, Xue Pan and others did not know much about leading troops to fight, so most of them had doubts about Xue Ren's views. Now that Baochai asked, they all stopped by and looked over.
"No......"
Xue Ren was actually not very proficient in leading troops to fight, but based on his past achievements and the business empire Zhao Shouyi had built, he was in awe of him.
"It is said that the world's great soldiers are sent out from all over the world. The border troops are stationed on the frontiers and there is no shortage of battles against the nomads. Compared with the soldiers in the capital, their combat power can be said to be in the sky and underground!"
"But just such soldiers were exterminated by Jia Qi, and another group of people were driven out of Langjuxu Mountain. With such combat power, it is no exaggeration to say that if an enemy gallops thousands of miles away, there is no place in the world that cannot be reached."
When talking about Jia Qi and the soldiers under Jia Qi's hands, Xue Ren's eyes were shining with brilliance.
"Even now, the Snow Dragon Cavalry Army without its leader has been holding King Dongping back in Zhili, Hebei Province for more than a month. You must know that during this period, King Dongping did not even dare to set foot on land."
Hearing this, Aunt Xue and Baochai looked at each other. They had not received the news, so how did Xue Ren know?
However, Xue Ren seemed to have no intention of saying anything about this. Aunt Xue and Baochai could only stop at it and not ask any more questions.
"Second uncle, do you mean we won't leave this time?"
Xue Pan didn't understand most of what Xue Ren said, but he understood one thing. Xue Ren didn't seem to intend to leave with the Xue family.
"The cunning rabbit has three burrows" means that a rabbit will never leave its nest with only one exit, in case a foreign enemy invades, and it will have no way to retreat.
"Those aristocratic families here in the capital don't like to put all their eggs in one basket, but leaving may not be a way of life, but a way of death."
"Why did my second uncle say this?"
Xue Pan was shocked by Xue Ren's words. Is leaving a dead end?
Doesn’t that mean that no matter whether you leave the capital or not, it is a dead end?
"The defeat of the two groups of rebels has been determined. Now there is only one group left. It is a lone tree that cannot be supported. It is true that King Dongping has sharp weapons like thunderbolts in his hands. However, the people and horses are exhausted, just like a trapped beast still fighting. It will not last long."
"If there were no force majeure factors, the situation would have been doomed by now!"
