Chapter 519: Loyalty and Cunning

Zhao Gao threw himself at Huan Xuan, who was only four years old when Huan Wen died, an existence that had been recognized as no threat.

Huan Xuan is not without a family background, his father Huan Wen not only left him the title of Duke of Nanjun, but also used the thousands of war horses dedicated by Zhao Gao to help him form a cavalry private army, which is the only one among the sons of Huan Wen.

However, this did not help. If Huan Wen can live for another ten years, maybe the talented Huan Xuan can still be used, but with the death of Huan Wen, all of this will become a mirror, look at it, but it will no longer be used.

Without real power, Nanjun Gong is just a vain head, even the subordinate official mansions have been omitted, and Huan Xuan is just a down-and-out young man who follows his uncle Huan Chong. And the more than 1,000 cavalry carefully built by Huan Wen, although he is still the nominal supreme commander, but the actual command has long been returned to the hands of the Long Kanghuan clan, which is the choice of the interests of the entire family, and does not allow the struggle of personal interests.

And the reason why Huan Xuan can still retain this position is only because the tens of thousands of military expenses that Zhao Gao dedicates every year are designated by him to be used in this private army - this military expenditure has been regarded as the personal friendship between Huan Wen and Zhao Gao. It's not that Long Kanghuan didn't have the idea of fighting this huge sum, and Zhao Gao didn't resist, but just stopped entering Feng in the coming year. The meaning of his expression is obvious, that is, I am only serving Huan Wen and his successors, not the entire Long Kang Huan clan.

After several rounds of back and forth, both sides chose to maintain the status quo, and both Zhao Gao and Long Kanghuan tacitly agreed that neither of them would break this point. Huan Xuan finally saved his last bit of face in the Huan clan, and the Huan clan obtained the last bit of legacy left by Huan Wen.

Losing Huan Wen, even if Huan Chong still retains a lot of military power, the Huan clan is much worse than before after all.

Huan Xuan, who suddenly fell from heaven to the world, was extremely precocious, or the warmth and coldness of human affection made him have to grow up earlier than other children. When his uncle Huan Chong resigned from the history of Yangzhou Assassination, Yangzhou civil and military all came to say goodbye, Huan Chong touched his head and said: "This is the old official of the Ru family." He had just turned seven years old and was able to understand the inner meaning of this sentence, so he "burst into tears".

Huan Wen died, Huan Chong became a loyal minister of the Jin royal family, which was indeed the best choice to protect the Huan family when his ability was insufficient, but it put Huan Xuan, who inherited Huan Wen's title, in an extremely embarrassing position - among the six sons left by Huan Wen, Huan Xi Huan Ji was exiled to Changsha for murdering Huan Chong, Huan Xin walked on thin ice all day long, Huan Yi was scared into a fool, and Huan Wei and Huan Xuan were adopted by their uncle Huan Chong because they were still young.

Whether it was selling well to the new owner, or getting rid of the suspicion of Huan's henchmen on his body, many guests under the original Huan Wen were busy keeping a distance from Huan Xuan. People's hearts are flesh and blood, how can Huan Xuan, who is in the whirlpool, not feel it? Moreover, because Huan Wen's anti-intentions in his later years have been revealed, Huan Xuan has not been awarded any official position - this is undoubtedly an unusual alternative in the wealthy family of the scholar family.

Fortunately, at this time, Zhao Gao stood up, which made Huan Xuan feel a ray of warmth in the world.

Since Huan Xuan was sensible, every year Zhao Gao would always bring him a lot of money in addition to a military expense, which would be a necessary source of expenses for him to maintain his status as a child of a wealthy family, and sometimes Zhao Gao would send a little thing such as a little fox to make him happy. Over the years, this made Huan Xuan, who had never seen Zhao Gao, full of dependence in his heart.

In addition, since Wang Meng's death, the contradictions within the various tribes under the rule of Daqin have become increasingly intensified, and Zhao Gao's beggar army has not been idle, and has been wandering around its fringes, plundering tribes or something from time to time, and the war horses that were snatched back were basically given to Huan Xuan. So in addition to that cavalry, Huan Xuan also has another private cavalry in his hand, probably out of debt, and Huan Chong has always turned a blind eye to this matter.

Whether in ancient or modern times, loyal and righteous people are often the first to be forgiven.

Zhao Gao used such a particularly stupid thing to complete his own whitewashing.

In the eyes of outsiders, when Huan Wen was proud, Zhao Gao chose to be silent throughout the whole process, and did not get any actual benefits because of this, and even sent a lot of support to the royal family through Sima Fujin when Huan Wen forced the royal family, faintly showing his attitude towards the royal family. Huan Wen has long left such an unsuccessful kid behind, and after Zhao Gao did this, he didn't give any attention to politics anymore, Zhao Gao's official position is still that Bei County Taishou, and a "Dushui Messenger" without any real power.

When Huan Wen died, Huan retreated, and the entire Huan clan had no value at all, the people who were particularly close to him were afraid to avoid it, but Zhao Gao took the initiative to come up, and seriously worshiped Huan Xuan, who was just a child, as the head of the family, and contributed money and effort, without asking for anything in return.

What kind of spirit is this? The righteous men of the ancients, that's probably it.

No matter what the position and need, no one, including the royal Sima clan and the ruling Wang Xie, would not deny such a loyal value, even if the father of the object that Zhao Gao was loyal to had a huge threat to them.

"So you're caught that Huan Xuan is just a kid now, and there's no longer any threat to them, right?" Zhao Fujin has a high degree of recognition of Zhao Gao's plan, especially at this point, as a member of the royal family, she has also obtained the status of a royal family in this plot world, and she can best understand what those who are in power are thinking.

Since having an exchange with the will of the land of the gods, Zhao Gao, who originally wanted to give up this plot world, has been choosing to hide in the past few years. He had a faint feeling that his talent might have a little breakthrough in this world. In the repeated exercise, several skills derived from the talent of "discerning" have improved somewhat, and he can vaguely understand what the "ear world" points to.

It's a secret that can't be told.

"The prefix of my trailblazer title is 'loyalty.'" Zhao Gao has long been accustomed to Zhao Fujin's cynicism, in this plot world, they have been together as husband and wife for seven or eight years, if you talk about feelings, they are deeper than ordinary couples.

"It's in your nature to be cunning." Zhao Fujin said as he put down a piece of sewn equipment in his hand. She has always been lazy and has uncharacteristically handled a lot of daily affairs, obviously as a historical figure, she should also feel the extraordinaryness of this plot world, and the rest of the time she is to deal with the leather goods extorted from the world of the "Hundred Years' War" in batches, and the amount and quality of equipment completed are amazing.

"The killing heart of the beggar army is too heavy, and my reputation in this plot world will be ruined without this way." Zhao Gao admires the will of this plot world. It seems that he hit the rule weakness of this plot world with five stone scatters and easily obtained a lot of wealth and a "beggar army", but in fact, this is simply a trap set by the will of the world.

The former forced him to throw himself into Wang and Huan Wen without choice, and even used the inhumane thing to disgrace himself to protect himself; The latter used the hidden characteristics of the class to give him a reputation for "murder", if he hadn't come up with a countermeasure in time to cover this up with "loyalty", I'm afraid he would not be able to move an inch in this world.

"Don't talk about this, have you found it?" Zhao Gao raised his head, looked at Fang Jingshu who was standing aside, and asked.
