CHAPTER IX

"It is precisely because there is no retreat that it is necessary to seek a way out by extraordinary means. "Xu Ze wrote lightly, "In terms of the ranking www.biquge.info of the northern surname Haoqiang, I can't rank first in the party's Xu family, but I can also rank in the top three, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is extremely influential." Your 'falling into the water', anyone with a discerning eye knows what is going on, and the alliance between the Xie clan of Chen Jun and the Xu clan of the Shangdang clan naturally cannot be maintained. You say, for that Guo family's big Sima, is this a good bargaining chip? ”

Listening to Xu Ze's words, Xu Hui always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't think of the reason, she struggled for a long time, and then said with some hesitation: "Grandfather's words, it sounds very reasonable, but ......"

Xu Ze tapped the table lightly, smiling: "But you can't tell, what's wrong, isn't it?" Xie Lun is the same. ”

"He ......"

"Since you have already said that he must have killed you on a temporary basis, how could you not have thought that this is someone else playing a trick on the Chen Jun Xie family?" Xu Ze looked at Xu Hui and said lightly, "According to what you said, when you had an accident, the Xie family members who could suppress Xie Lun were not there, and Xie Lun had just performed the crown salute and had not been long after entering the officialdom, so there was no need to think about anything." A child of a family like Xie Lun, who has an excellent background, a good life, and an outstanding status, no matter how smart he is, he will not be as thoughtful as us old guys, and he is the easiest to fall into the calculations of others. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Ze thought about it, and still threw out a sincere sentence: "However, you and him are in harmony with each other, and they are deeply in love, and he is willing to watch you die for the sake of his family." Such a resolute mind, if practiced, will become a great tool. ”

Hearing Xu Ze actually praise Xie Lun, Xu Hui looked at his grandfather in disbelief, Xu Ze saw this, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "What?" Hui'er thinks that I am wrong? ”

He ...... He killed me...... You ......"

"Killing you is killing you, and the heart is the heart, not to be confused." Xu Ze wrote lightly, "I was so busy thinking about the matter of the true Guo clan that I forgot to ask you, you said that you want to hold your fate firmly in the palm of your hand, is it for a strategist or a general?" ”

When Xu Hui heard this, he also put away the unhappiness and depression in his heart, and asked: "Dare to ask grandfather, how are the strategists and generals?" ”

"If you are a strategist, you should be ruthless, abandon the side of having 'morality, conscience, and bottom line', and sacrifice everything for the interests of the overall situation, even if it is the lives of the elderly, weak, women and children." Xu Ze's voice was slow and steady, but his gaze fell firmly on Xu Hui's face, and he never moved away, "If you choose this one, I will find a reason to build a Taoist temple for you in the Xu family, and ask you to become a monk." At the same time, I will teach you strategy and the art of vertical and horizontal, so that you can always hide behind the scenes, and after a hundred years, I will continue to give advice to your father and brother. ”

Xu Hui listened and was quite moved, but asked again: "If you are a military general, what should you do?" ”

Xu Ze saw that she did not promise to become a strategist, but really had the idea of comparing the advantages and disadvantages of the two, so he smiled lightly and said: "If you are a military general, you need to be like me, practice three nine in winter, practice three dogs in summer, and study diligently day and night." In addition, you must be familiar with military books, know the art of war, read history, and fight in person. ”

Battle...... Fighting......

Seeing that Xu Hui lowered his head, as if hesitating, Xu Ze added slowly: "If you choose to become a strategist and want to regret it in the future, with your ability in your previous life, you can still marry a good family, if you choose a general...... No family with a higher background than the Xu family, or even similar to the Xu family, would like to ask for a daughter-in-law who knows how to arrange troops and has killed people with her own hands. So, think about it. ”

Hearing the two choices given by Xu Ze, Xu Hui was silent.

She wanted to grasp her destiny, but she didn't have a clear outline in her heart, except that she didn't marry anyone to death, she didn't know what she should do, and when she heard the choice given by Xu Ze, she couldn't help but feel a little entangled. However, Xu Hui can be valued by Xu Ze and plan to cultivate it personally, but her heart is still hard in the end, so she did not make a decision at the first time, but after thinking carefully for a while, she asked very seriously: "Grandfather actually gave Hui'er this choice, this world, but it is going to be chaotic?" ”

Hearing this, Xu Ze nodded with satisfaction.

Being able to avoid the trap he set and think of a more far-reaching place from this choice is indeed extremely valuable for cultivation.

"Since the royal family and the family crossed to the south, the political center of Daqi has moved from the land of Guanlong to the bank of the Qinhuai River." Xu Ze did not hide his speculation, and said slowly, "The power struggle between the Wu surname and the Qiao surname is extremely fierce, and for more than ten years, there are more than 20 deposed emperors. Although today's son is intoxicated with the art of calligraphy and painting and the law of immortality, he likes to have fun and get tired of politics, but he has been sitting on the throne for 30 years, which shows that the means are extraordinary. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Ze sighed softly: "How many extremely smart people are invincible in the threshold of life and death, especially the great emperor. His Majesty firmly believes that he can live a long life and control the government, and he will not care about future generations, Concubine Xie has the eldest son of the emperor, but Empress Guo's sister-in-law ranks second, and there are more than a dozen noble princes of the maternal family. When His Majesty was in power, he could barely suppress this situation, but if it was...... You say, the military power in Jiangnan is really in the hands of the surname Wu, or is it more in the hands of the surname Qiao? ”

Hearing Xu Ze's analysis, the thoughts in Xu Hui's heart gradually became clear.

Although the royal family also values the concubine, but it is not as strict as the family, the succession of the son-in-law is justified, and the eldest son succeeds to the throne. If the imperial capital is still in Chang'an, a hundred Wu surnames don't want to surpass the power of overseas Chinese surnames, but the royal family crossed to the south and went to someone else's territory.

Zhending Guo was once above the royal family, so he was naturally distrusted by the emperor and weakened by the black hand. I heard that this year's Da Sima has always been arrogant and conceited, domineering, and he used to need to cater to the emperor who pleases him, but now he is not treated well, he has already accumulated a belly of fire, and has the idea of "striking first to be strong, and then to suffer", which is not surprising at all!

"If the Guo family rebels, the south of the Yangtze River will be chaotic, if the south of the Yangtze River is chaotic, the north will be uneasy. If today's disasters continue year after year, the frost and snow have been greatly reduced, and the crop harvest in the rich land of our Central Plains is still extremely bleak, how can the northern grasslands not be exhausted? Zhuhu has been eyeing the Central Plains for another 20 years, and the new young and strong have grown, even if there is food, they will not be at ease, let alone no food? ”

When he said these words, Xu Ze's demeanor and tone were full of extremely strong confidence and unparalleled determination. For more than ten years, Xu Hui has developed an absolute admiration for his grandfather, and when he thinks of the repeated flooding of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River within ten years, he feels more and more that he is too shallow. Even if the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting attainments are extremely high, what if they are very famous? Compared with pointing out the country, no matter how wind and snow, it seems to be a small family.

Seeing his granddaughter's adoring gaze, knowing that she had mythologized herself, Xu Ze wanted to say something, but he didn't open his mouth to explain, because he couldn't explain it clearly.

In fact, he dared to make such a judgment, which was completely supported by strong scientific data.

Although in this world, the Great Qi replaced the Eastern Han Dynasty in history, and there were no Three Kingdoms or Five Chaos in China, but the change of climate is difficult to be transferred by human will. It has long been recorded in historical records that the Wei and Jin dynasties were a cold period in Chinese history, and the frost-free period was greatly shortened.

Just as Xu Hui has the secret of rebirth, why doesn't Xu Ze have a secret of his own? Over the years, he can only glimpse the words and phrases of his fellow villagers in the historical materials, sporadically recorded, no, maybe the other party is not a fellow villager, but just a reborn person like Hui'er.

The Three Kingdoms, the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, the Five Chaos of China, and the Shenzhou Lu Shen...... These historical records, which have long been left in the depths of memory, suddenly broke into his mind in such a way, making Xu Ze's heart surging and unable to hold himself.

After more than 30 years, I thought that I had to seek balance in the cracks all my life and pave the way for my children and grandchildren, but now I found that I was reborn in the last years of the dynasty, an era that is about to rise together, isn't it happy?
