Chapter 64: Insight into the Big Picture (85/363)
At noon, the main courtyard in the middle of the Xiao Mansion was guarded by more than ten guests dressed differently, and the maids and maids were told to stay away, and most of the guests of the Xiao family in Huainan gathered here.
In the spacious study, Prime Minister Xiao Chuyang had not yet taken off his official robe, and sat quietly behind the desk with a dignified cup of hot tea.
The three Xiao family staff members sat in the study, including Hua Jingting, the chief manager of the Xiao family in Huainan, who was all Xiao family's henchmen.
Only at home, Xiao Qi, who is the head of the Xiao family, has a higher status than his brother Xiao Chuyang, but the eldest brother is like a father, so naturally it is impossible to sit on the main seat, but he just sits on the Taishi chair next to the desk with a generous demeanor, telling the key to entering Beijing this time:
“…… After the theft of the Lock Dragon Gu, I have been sending someone to investigate secretly, but unfortunately I found nothing. There are few people in the world who can wipe all the whereabouts under my Xiao nose. The poison in the prince of King Su the year before last has not yet been determined, but it is no longer important, the focus is on why the prince of King Su locked the dragon Gu. ”
Xiao Chuyang listened quietly, because they were all people at the helm of the Xiao family, and they had no reservations when they spoke:
"I have long sensed that the situation is not right, and I guess that the Holy Lord is jealous of King Su and wants to cut the domain, but now the Holy Lord is full of joy and anger, and it is difficult to see anything."
Xiao Qi shook his head, with a bit of indifference in his eyes, and said softly:
"This matter is by no means as simple as 'cutting the domain', and 'King Su plotting for unification' is also nonsense."
"Oh?"
Several people in the study frowned slightly, Xiao Chuyang rubbed the teacup and said softly:
"It's not for the sake of cutting the domain, but for what?"
Xiao Qi pondered a little and looked in the direction of the imperial city: "Ten years ago, King Su Xu You disobeyed his orders and did not kill the entire Lu clan in the East China Sea, which made the saint feel jealous in his heart......
…… King Su holds Qin and Wei Prefectures, and the threat to Chang'an is too great, but moving the capital to Luoyang will inevitably shake the country's foundation, and judging from the skill shown by the succession of the saint, he will not choose to take this step back......"
Xiao Chuyang pondered: "If it is a saint's move, this move is too stinky." Kill Xu does not make King Su rebel, King Su is a reversal is the fish is dead and the net is broken, it is likely to enter Chang'an, when the six kings enter Chang'an Qinwang, although the King of Su can be driven away, but at that time, the Song clan relatives in Chang'an City, including today's saints, must have died under the knife of King Su...... The Holy Lord would not hold the idea of dying together with King Su, and let the other kings of the Six Roads take advantage of the fishermen and open a peace for the world...... When the time comes, the six dragons will seize the heir, I am afraid that it will be more serious than the chaos caused by King Su's rebellion......"
Xiao Qi nodded: "The problem is here, so King Su and even us guess that it is not the hand of the saint, but someone else." But who this person is is uncertain. ”
Xiao Chuyang nodded: "That's true, the Holy Lord's treatment of King Su and King Su is impeccable in words and deeds, I'm afraid this is someone else's game." ”
Xiao Qi smiled lightly: "It's indeed someone else's bureau." Since the beginning of the Central Plains, Jiangmen has held a heavy army to divide one side, although loyal to the imperial court, but its harm is obvious. Before Jiazi, I fought with the Great Qi to compete for the world, at the beginning it was difficult to move an inch, every time I gnawed a state and a county, I had to pay the price of blood, and even Emperor Xiaozong personally put on armor to go into battle to boost morale......
…… And in the middle of the fight, when the two sides are evenly matched, the pressure suddenly weakens, and basically the grandfather and those generals know each other with affection and reason, and spend more time sitting at the table than on the battlefield...... I love Search.com
…… In the end, it was hit to Guanzhong Road, the national strength of Daqi still existed, and all the civil and military officials were there, but the emperor of Daqi found that there were no available soldiers under him, and in the battle of Chang'an City, there were only 100,000 soldiers and horses to block the Dayue Iron Cavalry. ”
When Xiao Qi said this, he stood up and looked at the picture of Da Yue hanging in the study: "When today's Zi has lofty ambitions and supports the literati to promote the imperial examination, he wants to reduce the military power in the hands of the gate valve family, especially the generals...... Ten years ago, the Iron Eagle Deer Hunting was an example of killing chickens and monkeys, and most of the small families were frightened, but there are still a few big families that are difficult to shake, who these families are, the second brother must be clear. ”
Xiao Chuyang nodded lightly: "After the current saint succeeds to the throne, he humbly admonishes people and knows people well, and the government and the opposition all bow to him, and even the seven kings dare not make a mistake, and it is difficult for those few families to set off any waves." ”
Xiao Qi shook his head: "If you make waves, you don't have to be in the court." No matter how good the saint is, he only has two arms and a head, and he has no more than half a life than a hard labor pariah. If you can't play chess, you can spill five moves with blood, and this game of chess can be regarded as a win. ”
When the words fell, several staff members and Xiao Chuyang frowned, looked at each other a few times, and Xiao Chuyang hesitated:
"I'm afraid this is a bit of a joke, if the king of a country is so easy to kill, he will change the dynasty many times."
Xiao Qi smiled lightly and sat back in her chair: "This is the case, but there must be variables. I rushed to the capital in a hurry, so I came over to keep an eye on it to avoid the Xiao family falling wrong at the critical moment. ”
Xiao Chuyang was silent for a moment with the teacup, and said softly: "Today's saint is too tough, and he can only be cautious in his words and deeds as a brother......
Xiao Qi raised his hand and shook his head: "My Xiao family may also be a chess piece on the chessboard, not a chess watcher." If the second brother judges the situation too early and stands in the wrong position, and does not get it from the dragon's work, he may also lose the entire Xiao family. ”
Xiao Chuyang took a breath and pondered carefully for a moment:
"What about the Lu family at the right door?"
"Jinling Lu spoke for the Lu family of the East China Sea ten years ago, and has been beaten several times by the saint, Lu Chengan is not a mediocre and incompetent person, he must choose to wait and see what happens and wait for the dust to settle, the second brother is the head of the hundred officials, and he must express his position when the time comes, remember to think twice before acting."
There was silence in the study, and after a few people sat for a moment, they nodded slightly.
Xiao Chuyang breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand and said: "Xiao Qi, you have come all the way here, it is not easy to travel and travel, let's go down and rest first, tomorrow we will have a family banquet, invite the prince of Su Wang, you can chat with him for a few words, and see if you can see something." ”
Although Xiao Qi ran for thousands of miles, he was used to running around in Huainan, and he didn't look tired at all, but he was very energetic......
