Chapter 276: Seizure of power
The top wealthy men of the Great Shang Dynasty were driven out of Longxiang Courtyard by Yang Zhangzhen without any image, and the gate was slowly closed, and the Jedi shut them out.
Xia Yan stood at the gate, waiting for the carriage to arrive. He looked at the few old men of the Xia family who had their hair in a messy bun and looked panicked, and Shen's face became even darker, almost dripping ink. The plan he had painstakingly devoured had been ruined by that fool! This made the head of the house very angry, and he found that he was being ignored outside, and now he was about to lose control of his home, which made him feel very uneasy and vigilant.
"Fourth uncle, who taught you those words today?" Xia Yan lowered his head slightly and asked in a low tone.
"What?" The fourth uncle, who was in a panic, didn't hear what Xia Yan said, and subconsciously asked rhetorically.
Xia Yan raised his head, he took a deep breath, looked at the panicked fourth uncle and said in a deep voice: "I mean, is it necessary for Longxiang Yuan to do this? They want to protect Xia Yi, is it necessary to use this method? They just need to protect it, because they have such confidence." If it were you, when facing a weak opponent, would you use such a small means as sowing discord?"
Comprehending Xia Yan's words, the fourth uncle's face became embarrassed and panicked.
A trace of panic flashed on the fourth uncle's face, even at this time, he still held luck in his heart, deceiving himself into believing that Xia Yan had not seen through his disguise.
"W-What? I don't know what you're talking about!" The beard on the fourth uncle's chin trembled slightly, as if it was blown by the passing wind. "Don't listen to Yang Zhangzhen's bastard to sow discord, he just wants to make our Xia family mess up, they protect that little bastard Xia Yi!"
"Is that necessary?" Xia Yan said softly.
"Sounds ridiculous, doesn't it? But I want to tell you, if Xia Yi really returns to the peak one day, Xia Yi will definitely be a more trustworthy object than Qin Song's group of princes and nobles! No matter how bad it is, he still has the blood of the Xia family on him, no matter how bad it is, he will not drag the entire Xia family to bury him for him. But Qin Song is different, when they encounter danger, they will squeeze us dry first, and then throw us away to block the arrows, I am convinced of this. ”
"So, you'd better put away those little abacus in your hearts, don't think that Qin Song will give you benefits, in fact, the Xia family is finished, we all have to be finished! There are no eggs under the nest, you have lived for such a long time, I believe you can understand the meaning of this sentence." ”
Remember the URL
These words didn't sound like much, but with Xia Yan's reprimanding tone, these words didn't sound so good.
Xia Yan let out a long breath of turbidity, shook his head helplessly, looked at the three old men of the Xia family in front of him, shook his head slightly, and finally fell on the fourth uncle.
"For now, I might as well tell you plainly. Although we came to follow the request of the right minister Qin Mansion this time to get back the book of "Xuanling Secret Record" in Xia Yi's hand, but I don't plan to make a fuss about this matter, I even have a trace of fantasy, if I can ease the relationship with Xia Yi, I
They can even give up the "Xuanling Secret Record" to leave a way for the Xia family to survive in the future. ”
"You're delusional about steady
Haven't you ever thought that Prime Minister Qin would allow this kind of thing to happen? That's right, I was ordered by Prime Minister Qin to supervise your every move. This time it was my unauthorized action, and I wanted to cut off your ridiculous thoughts, lest you do something stupid to damage the Xia family. This time, I won't report to Qin Xiang what happened today, I think you'd better think clearly, what is the right choice and what is the wrong choice!"
The other two old men next to him looked frightened, they didn't expect that the fourth child would be Qin Xiang's person. And Xia Yan didn't expect that listening to the tone of the fourth uncle, he had already become Qin Xiang's person a long time ago.
The fourth uncle threw the scattered strand of hair behind his head, a smile of disdain appeared on his wrinkled face, and said sarcastically to Xia Yan: "Even you yourself said that this is ridiculous! You are so naïve, you still believe that we and Xia Yi still have a chance to recover, don't dream in vain, even if Xia Yi has the blood of the Xia family flowing on him, he will not believe us." ”
Xia Yan sneered again and again: "In comparison, it is the most naïve to bet all the luck of the Xia family on Qin Song! If Xia Yi can return to the peak, he will rely on his own strength, and he will never fall easily; while Qin Song is different, all his power, wealth, and prestige are given to him by His Majesty the Emperor, if His Majesty the Emperor wants to take it back one day, the Qin family will fall if he says that it will fall, and it is not a long-term plan to rely on at all." ”
The fourth uncle found out that he had been exposed, and Suo gave up on himself, which made him calmer instead. Listening to Xia Yan's words, he did not sneer: "Even if Xia Yi has the strength, it can only keep himself, does he have the ability to protect the Xia family? In the Great Shang Dynasty, only Your Majesty can keep the Xia family! If the Xia family wants to last a long time, it can only be loyal to Your Majesty." But we can't reach the height of His Majesty now, so we can only cling to Qin Xiang's side. In my heart, as long as we can guarantee our current wealth, Qin Xiang will not give up on us easily. In my opinion, the stakes are the most stable!"
"Since there is no way out, there is only one way to go to the dark. Xia Yan did not board the carriage, but walked towards the gate of Longxiang Courtyard again.
When he passed by the fourth uncle, he stopped and said to the fourth uncle in a deep voice: "Fourth uncle, after you go back, you can retire." ”
The fourth uncle's eyes narrowed, and his eyes revealed a fierce gaze, staring at Xia Yan tightly.
Xia Yan looked at the fourth uncle in a daze, and quickly thought in his heart what kind of path he could choose. Until the carriage came to him, Xia Yan didn't react for a while, and still stood still in place.
"Qin Xiang really values our Xia family. Half an hour later, Xia Yan let out a long sigh.
The fourth uncle looked at Xia Yan calmly, and the previous panic was completely gone.
Xia Yan didn't feel dazzling, he looked at the fourth uncle gently, and smiled faintly: "You can continue to monitor me, but you can let go of the affairs of the clan." I don't need someone with an elbow turned out at a critical moment to jump out against me from time to time, in the future, you only need to report my every move to Qin Xiang. ”
When the fourth uncle heard this, he immediately became anxious. Although he can still monitor Xia Yan on behalf of Qin Xiang, he is still greedy for the power in his hands, and he also understands that when this matter is exposed, he will immediately become a loner in the Xia family, and no one will respect him or get close to him, and everyone will avoid him.
"Xia Yan, aren't you afraid that Qin Xiang will be angry?!"
Xia Yan kept walking towards the gate of Longxiang Courtyard.
"Qin Xiang will be angry, but he won't really blame me for you, because I am much more useful than you!"
