The news of the fall of Xiyan and the complete capture of the Three Jin Dynasty in Hexi reached Jianye, shocking the entire Jiangdong.

Counting the countries destroyed by most of the guards since the army was raised, this is the fifth Hulu regime it has destroyed.

Just as Jiangdong was discussing where the Hexi soldiers would point after the demise of Xiyan, Wei Shuo sent a complaint to the court.

For a while, it caused an uproar, and no one expected that Wei Shuo would dare to blatantly interfere in the government.

After all, strictly speaking, Hexi was not directly governed by the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and Wei Shuo was just a prince who listened to the tune and did not listen to the announcement.

Under normal circumstances, the two sides rarely interfere in each other's internal affairs, and Wei Shuo's move has caused dissatisfaction among most people.

I always feel that Hexi is too strong and does not take the decisions of the imperial court into account.

Some courtiers wrote to the Son of Heaven one after another, demanding that Hexi be severely punished.

When he accepted the land in Hedong, this was a matter of glory to the court and the Son of Heaven; Second, it also has a lot to do with the fact that the Liu family is a big family.

In order to hold the banner of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Liu Gong extensively mobilized his family's network advantages and carried out large-scale activities, and finally got his wish.

It is impossible for the imperial court to go back on its word for the sake of a piece of paper in Hexi, and it will not abandon the Liu family because of Wei Shuo's opposition.

However, on the one hand, the Son of Heaven was not very concerned about the situation in the north; On the other hand, he was reluctant to punish his son-in-law, and in the end he just issued an order to reprimand him.

Soon the Son of Heaven issued an order to severely reprimand Wei Shuo, telling him not to make extraneous branches, let alone attack Hedong privately.

After the holy decree arrived in Hexi, the crowd was immediately indignant, and many people clamored to sever relations with the Eastern Jin Dynasty and immediately waved troops south.

Although Wei Shuo was also quite unhappy, he did not take the liberty of breaking off diplomatic relations with the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Otherwise, not to mention the political impact, the economic losses caused alone are enough to make him feel distressed.

Today, Jiangdong has become the most important material import and commodity dumping market in Hexi.

Every year, Hexi uses a large number of colored glass, cotton cloth, roasted tea and other commodities to exchange for truckloads of grain, timber and other materials from Jiangdong.

Cui Hao glanced at Wei Shuo, who had a gloomy face, hesitated and persuaded: "Lord, at the moment, the state has been decided, and everything is complicated, and Hexi can't spare the energy to deal with Hedong Liu Gong at all." ”

"It is better to obey the will of the Son of Heaven, not to take Hedong for the time being, but to pacify and annex the state first."

"When the state is stabilized in the future, Hexi has a deep foundation, and it is not too late to try to plot Hedong."

"In addition, it can also be seen from the changes in Hedong that Hexi is not attractive enough for families from all over the world."

"In the past, we lived in the northwest, and the local family was weak, and the lord relied on strong force to run amok."

"Now that the lord has unified the great northwest, he will slowly intervene in Guanzhong, Hebei, the Central Plains and other places in the future, and all these states and counties are full of heroes and powers."

"If you rely on force every time, although it is happy and will not leave any trouble, it will also be strongly resisted by the family, and it may eventually affect the great cause of the unification of the lord."

"It's like today's Liu clan and Xue clan, obviously Hexi has achieved a huge advantage, but they still choose to take refuge in Jiangdong and refuse to belong to the lord."

Wei Shuo asked with an ugly face: "What does Bo Yuan mean by this?" Is it possible to change course with Shuo? Since then, it has turned to supporting the family? ”

"No, no, no, the lord has misunderstood the minister! The Juntian system and the slave release order are the foundation of Hexi, how dare the minister let the lord destroy the foundation? ”

"The minister thinks that the lord should support one or two families to act as the façade of Hexi, as a signboard to appease the family in the future."

I have to say that Cui Hao's proposal made Wei Shuo's eyes shine.

At the same time, it also made him realize that the strategy he had set before was a bit out of place today.

He thought about it carefully and found that there were indeed no top families in the northwest.

There is only one Longxi Li family who can handle it, but it is still a family of generals.

Others, such as the Dunhuang Guo family, although they are mainly based on scriptures, have little appeal to the Shandong family.

There is no family in Hexi, and the policy implemented is mainly to suppress the family, so naturally it will not be supported by the family.

However, as Cui Hao said, in the northwest, he can subdue the family by force, but it may not work in the Central Plains.

It seems that it is time to support one or two top families to act as a façade!

Thinking of this, Wei Shuo raised his eyes and looked around, his eyes swept over the faces of Cui Hao, Zhang Teng, Jiang Ji, Li Xian, Liu Muzhi and others one by one, and finally stopped at Cui Hao.

As a result, before he could speak, he was rejected by Cui Hao with a wry smile.

"My lord, the non-ministers don't know what to do, but they haven't recovered Hebei yet, and the Qinghe Cui clan should not come out rashly, otherwise I am afraid that there will be a disaster of extermination."

Wei Shuo thought that this was indeed the case, at present, Qinghe County is still the territory of Houyan, and once it is high-profile in Hexi, it is inevitable that it will not be retaliated against by the Xianbei people.

"If the Qinghe Cui clan doesn't come out, which other family is qualified to act as the façade of Hexi?"

"Yes, there is another family that does not lose to the Qinghe Cui clan."

Cui Hao's eyes flashed and said: "Lord, don't forget, in Taiyuan County, which has just been recovered, there are still two top families. ”

"Taiyuan Wang Clan, Yangqu Guo Clan?"

"Yes!"

"Huh? It can't be, right? ”

"Let's not talk about Yangqu Guo's family, just talk about Taiyuan Wang's family, which is now at the peak of its prime."

"Wang Gong, Wang Guobao and other sons of the Wang family, each in a high position, they have stayed well in the Southern Dynasty, how can they go north to seek refuge in Hexi?"

"Hahaha, the lord doesn't know, what you just said is that the Jinyang Wang clan is still a little different from the Taiyuan Wang clan."

"How is it different?"

"To be precise, the Taiyuan Wang family refers to the two Wang families of Jinyang Wang and Qixian Wang."

"Whoever is strong in these two families is the representative of the Taiyuan Wang family, and the two families have been fighting each other for leadership for more than 100 years."

"The Jinyang Wang clan and the Qi County Wang clan were both based on the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and the founder of the Qi County Wang clan was the famous Situ Wang Yun."

"The Jinyang Wang family is the brother of Wang Ze (Wang Chang, Wang Hun, Wang Shu, Wang Tanzhi, Wang Guobao ancestors) and Wang Rou (Wang Shen, Wang Jun, Wang You, Wang Gong ancestors)."

"The two Wang clans are generally called the Taiyuan Wang clan, but it is unknown whether they are related by blood, and the two branches have belonged to two major interest groups since Cao Wei."

"And this also caused the two families to have different endings at the turn of the Wei and Jin dynasties, among which Wang Hun, as the representative of the Jinyang Wang family, supported the Sima family to usurp Cao Wei Jiangshan, thus becoming the founder of the Western Jin Dynasty in one fell swoop."

"On the contrary, Wang Ling, the representative of the Wang clan of Qi County, was wiped out by the three clans for resisting the usurpation of power by the Sima family."

"Since then, the Wang clan of Qixian has been obscure, while the Wang clan of Jinyang has become more and more prosperous, and now it has become the most powerful family in the Southern Dynasty."

"Bo Yuan, you just said that Wang Ling was exterminated by the three clans, doesn't that mean that the Wang clan of Qi County has already broken off the inheritance? And how to act as the façade of Hexi? ”

"It is true that as the lord said, the descendants of the Wang family in Qi County have long existed, but there are still many side branches."

"As long as the lord is willing to support strongly, regardless of whether he is a descendant or a side branch, he will definitely be able to make the Wang clan of Qi County rise again."

"When the time comes, there are top wealthy families such as the Wang family in Qixian County waving their flags and shouting for the Lord, are you afraid that other families will not take the initiative to take refuge in them?"

"In addition, the reason why the minister suggested supporting the Wang family of Qi County was that he thought that there was just one person under the command of the lord who was born in Qi County."

"Who? Zhongde? ”

"Exactly!"

"Wang Zhongde is a disciple of the Wang clan of Qi County, he raised troops against Murong Chui and unfortunately failed, and now his return is not just right to revive the Wang clan of Qi County?"

"Well, what Bo Yuan said is very reasonable, but this matter needs to be considered in the long run."

I have to say that Cui Hao's proposal made Wei Shuo a little moved.

The Taiyuan Wang family is one of the top wealthy families in the world, and in terms of influence, it is not lost to the Langya Wang family, the Chen Jun Xie family, the Qinghe Cui family and other families.

If you really want to support the Wang family of Qixian County as the representative of the Wang family in Taiyuan, Beidi, if you encounter such a thing in Hedong in the future, you may only need a letter to deal with it.

However, although this move was of great benefit to Hexi, Wei Shuo did not take the liberty of implementing it.

Supporting the family does not mean that support will be supported, if you are not careful, the previous achievements will be wasted, and you must come up with a perfect strategy.

Besides, this suggestion is also mixed with a lot of Cui Hao's selfishness, as a family background, he definitely needs to consider the future of the family.

He also wanted to take the opportunity to see what Wei Shuo would do with the family!

Although Wei Shuo has repeatedly declared that he will not completely eliminate the family, but will only transform and weaken the family's privileges.

But there is no charter, and there are no examples to follow, Cui Hao is always a little worried in his heart.

Now that he happened to encounter the Hedong Incident, he had a chance to test Wei Shuo and see if Wei Shuo would fulfill the preface.
