When Li Chen heard this, he couldn't help but suddenly realize that when Li Chen heard others introduce Weidu to him, he couldn't help but have some doubts. That is: Why is Haokun, as an outsider of the Liu family, able to completely control the Wei Capital?

After all, this is the world of the royal family, and in such an important military capital as the capital of Weidu, how can the royal family be completely handed over to General Haokun, is it possible not to be afraid of Haokun's rebellion?

But later, when he heard the prince Liu Deyao and the Imperial Forest Army led by the three major national guards in the Han capital, Li Chen understood the power antagonism.

It is this kind of power confrontation that maintains the stability of the overall situation, and maintains the rule of the entire Han State, as well as the supreme rule of the imperial family over the entire Han State.

After all, divide and conquer is often the best power system that can maintain a balance over the overall situation.

Because power is constrained, it is not possible to be completely free, and the emperor Liu Shenglie, as the best ruler of the Han state, can divide and rule.

The balance between the mutual checks and balances between the various power systems is the most stable, and the delicate balance between the various power systems is the most permanent and the easiest to control.

Because it is impossible for the imperial family to completely control the entire Han Kingdom, it is still necessary to promote as many talented and powerful warriors as possible, so that they can truly make the best use of their talents and materials.

However, with the promotion of talents with different surnames, the power of the royal family will be weakened, which also threatens the rule of the royal family to a certain extent.

Just like the great general Haokun, he is not a member of the imperial family, but because he is the most powerful warrior in the entire Han Kingdom, if the book is not used, it will be a huge loss for the Han Kingdom, and even an extremely unstable factor.

However, such a powerful and talented person with a different surname will threaten the rule of the royal family.

This Wei Du knows how important it is, even the most important place, after all, it is related to the security of the entire Han border, and only the great general Haokun can guard such a place that is related to the interests of the Han State.

But handing over the 500,000 Han army to Haokun will face a great threat, after all, such a force, once there is a problem, it will be a catastrophe for the Han State.

Therefore, when Emperor Liu Shenglie handed over such an important place to the general Haokun, he also restricted the power of such an important place, so that this power was divided.

General Haokun, who seems to be supreme, is actually still constrained by Liu Hong, the imperial uncle, and does not have complete power.

In addition to the military, Haokun has huge management ability, so in the military pair, this imperial uncle is never involved, making this general Haokun the absolute leader of the military pair.

However, his talent can be fully developed, and the face of this general is well preserved, although this Liu Honggui is the emperor's uncle, but he is very good at handling the relationship between himself and the general Haokun.

Liu Hong is inconspicuous, and the whole person is completely hidden from the public eye, but this does not mean that this "imperial uncle" really doesn't care, on the contrary, he controls the extremely important places in Weidu.

That is politics, above politics, he basically controls the entire Weidu, and even controls the general Haokun.

But he didn't let people notice this, but almost completely disappeared from the public eye, but he controlled a lot of power in Weidu to a large extent.

As the largest family in Weidu, the Shui clan basically controls the economic lifeline of the entire Weidu.

In fact, whether it is the general Haokun or the imperial uncle Liu Hong, they are completely above the Shui clan, after all, the power in their hands can easily destroy this family.

But this water clan has an extremely important role, that is, the "cash machine"!

Because of the size and wealth of this family, they control a lot of the wealth of Weidu, and the wealth they pay usually supports the military opponents of Weidu and the royal family of Handu.

Even their taxes support more military pairs and royal families, which is also the most fundamental reason why the Shui clan can survive, so he is also an extremely important foot among the "three legs" of Weidu.

The significance of the Shui family to Weidu is like a chicken in captivity, which can lay eggs in peacetime, supply the expenses of the royal family and the 300,000 defenders of Weidu, and directly kill and eat meat at critical moments.

This time, Li Chen understood why the Acropolis City was not allowed to open a dart game, because these were the private armies of these families, which would threaten the rule of the royal family.

The defenders of the capital are the swords in the hands of the royal family, so that the royal family can control everything in the capital of the guard, but if it is a private soldier, it will be extremely dangerous and will be a great threat.

Just like the water family, for Weidu, it is like an ATM, which can supply a lot of military and political expenses of Weidu.

But once this "chicken" has minions, they will not be willing to hand over their wealth, they will inevitably resist, they will fight, and even a civil war will break out.

Therefore, Li Chen speculated based on this that no matter which family in the whole guard capital, there could be no private soldiers, let alone so-called clan soldiers, and their minions had long been pulled out by the royal family.

In this guarded capital, private soldiers should be expressly forbidden, so when Li Chen recruited a dart master, no one even rushed to question, after all, this would never be allowed.

Li Chen can now understand why Shui Huai'an was so nervous when he saw that he and Zhang Yunxi were recruiting dart masters, and Li Chen could be regarded as having figured out everything about it.

Li Chen couldn't help but feel a little emotionally that the emperor of the Han Dynasty had a strategy to control people, and he couldn't help but make the best use of his talents and materials, and he constantly restricted every power to a certain extent.

This is a huge wisdom, and Li Chen is also amazed from the bottom of his heart, such an imperial technique is really powerful.

Thinking of this, Li Chen slowly saw many of the doorways of this Wei Capital, which was originally extremely unfamiliar, and all of these things were not as simple as they seemed to be, but had profound meanings.

At this time, Li Chen continued to ask: "Dare to ask Brother Shui, is it not allowed to recruit private soldiers in the entire Weidu City, and even domestic servants or guards have clear requirements?"

The reason why Li Chen asked like this is also to verify his conjecture, after all, what he just did was just a conjecture, and Li Chen also wanted to be verified, after all, this matter should not be simple.

Shui Huai'an heard Li Chen ask this, nodded and said, "That's right, all the civil armed forces, such as the number of warriors owned by each family in the Wei Capital, have strict requirements.

It can't exceed a certain number, otherwise it will be directly sanctioned by the defenders of the capital, and the so-called merchants do not fight with officials, which has also become the most basic rule in the defense of the capital, and no one dares to touch it.

After all, Weidu is a military city, so there are such strict requirements.

In the past, many families had united against this rule, but they suffered a catastrophe, so the Shui family was able to become the largest family in the entire Weidu now.

There was a civil strife in the whole poison before, but the ancestors of my Shui family saw that the water was very deep, so they stood from a distant perspective on this matter.

Therefore, later, when many families suffered from catastrophes, Wei Du was able to stay out of the matter, so there is the current Wei Du Shui clan today. ”

Li Chen also nodded, sure enough, all of this is as he just guessed, there are really many little secrets in this Wei Capital that cannot be completely seen.

Li Chen is also more curious, although Li Chen doesn't like deceit and intrigue, but Li Chen is still very interested in power, which is why Li Chen joined the army.

Li Chen began to figure out his previous speculations while chatting with Shui Huai'an.

After all, Li Chen is a person who is about to enter the army, and now he still needs to know more about the situation in the Weidu City, so that he will have more benefits for himself, after all, he knows himself and his opponent, and he will not be defeated in a hundred battles.

Li Chen said: "Thanks to your help, otherwise we would have had a big disaster today, after all, we basically don't know anything about the rules here, so it is quite dangerous to do such a thing." ”

Shui Huai'an also smiled and said: "This can be regarded as my repayment to you, this is still far from your great kindness to save my life before, this little favor is insignificant."

Since you are going to the army tomorrow, then I will not keep you, but I still hope that Brother Zhang Yunxi can stay in the house for a few more days, and we will do our best to fulfill the friendship of the landlord. ”

Zhang Yunxi also hurriedly said: "How can you be embarrassed to bother like this, I am also unfamiliar with life in this Wei Capital, and I have to thank Brother Shui for taking me in, I will stay for a few days and then prepare to leave." ”

Zhang Yunxi was not prepared to stay here for too long, because he did not succeed in entering the new army, and now the previously planned dart game was obviously unable to continue, so Zhang Yunxi was ready to leave the Weidu.

At this time, Shui Huai'an obviously saw what Zhang Yunxi was thinking, so he said: "If Brother Yunxi doesn't dislike it, he will stay in my Shui Mansion for the time being, and there must be a place for you." ”

Zhang Yunxi couldn't help but light up when he heard him say this, after all, the Shui family is a big family in the Weidu, and Zhang Yunxi will definitely not suffer if he stays here.

At this time, Li Chen also said: "Brother Yunxi is wandering the rivers and lakes, it is better to stay in this Weidu Shui family, he will definitely have a future for development in the future, why go out again." ”

When Zhang Yunxi heard Li Chen say this, he also nodded directly, just in this Wei Capital, there will inevitably be more opportunities in the future, which is exactly what Zhang Yunxi thinks in his heart.

In this way, the matter of Zhang Yunxi, who was still erratic, was also determined, and Li Chen could be regarded as letting go of his own happiness.
