In the autumn of 1962, a lot of things happened in the capital, and the Xiao family got a lot of good news.

Because of Lu Guangzhong's help, Xiao Bei became more and more smooth, and he established an institution called the "Chongqing Imperial Research Institute", and recruited all the talents of the entire country to this research institute, including the talents he privately recruited.

This Chongqing Imperial Research Institute has concentrated all the connections of the Xiao family, and of course, there are other talents, which have been concentrated into a cone of talent networks.

Their existence is enough to subvert a country, and of course it is also possible to revitalize a country.

The intellectual power possessed by these people is irreplaceable, whether it is textile, rice, printing and other technologies close to life, or large-scale machinery, weapons, building materials and other technologies, all in the grasp of these people.

In other words, when Xiao Bei gathered them together, these people and these technologies were in Xiao Bei's hands.

Xiao Bei is very grateful to Lu Guangzhong for his help, firstly, this institution was suggested by Lu Guangzhong, and secondly, Lu Guangzhong also specially helped him recruit many talents that he had never thought of to be stationed among the researchers.

With the development of the Chongqing Imperial Research Institute, the power of the Xiao family has become more and more powerful, and even overshadowed the majesty of the royal family.

And this is also thanks to Lu Guangzhong.

Lu Guangzhong's divine and ghost methods, in just one year, disintegrated and weakened the Xiao family's political enemies and the evenly matched aristocratic families in different ways.

Xiao Bei's ambition is gradually revealed in the continuous growth, he was hidden very deep in the past, and everyone thinks that he is an upright duke who does not need to be paid for the country and the people.

And now he doesn't seem to have to hide it.

Xiao Ruifeng can feel Xiao Bei's transformation, but she also understands that when a person has enough ability, correspondingly, he needs an equal identity, and he needs a king's position.

However, the times are different, the imperial system is no longer suitable for this era, and the people began a series of demonstrations, Xiao Ruifeng feels that this is not only for the current king, but for the entire imperial system.

It's a pity that Xiao Don't be too eager for quick success, he seems to think that as long as the Si family is overthrown, the people's anger can be calmed.

In addition, Xiao Bei is also becoming more and more dependent on Lu Guangzhong, in the past, he only ran to Lu Guangzhong's house twice in three days, but now he has to find Lu Guangzhong almost every day, Xiao Ruifeng is still laughing at him, if he can, Xiao Bei may want to take Lu Guangzhong home directly.

It's just that Xiao Ruifeng didn't know that although Xiao Bei had nothing to say to Lu Guangzhong, there was only one secret that he had never told Lu Guangzhong.

And this secret will turn the status quo upside down.

Soon, not long after, the engagement banquet between the Xiao family and the Yan family began in the autumn of that year, and there is no doubt that as Xiao Ruifeng thought, Yan Xin still had to marry Xiao Bei in the end.

After all, in today's capital, except for the Yan family, there is no other home that can make the Xiao family jealous, and even the Si family, who has the royal blood of previous dynasties, and this Yan family is obviously the protector of the king.

Xiao Bei knew that he was not stupid, he knew that no matter how much the people in the outside world hated this king, no matter how much he wanted to be the king, he could not abolish this king, after all, this century-old Si surname is not a casual change of name, there are many nobles loyal to the king.

Even if these nobles are nothing to him, there are many people and great power, and he can't kill them all.

Choking and Strange Novels|w~w~w.

There is no way, he must follow the method of "coercing the princes of the Son of Heaven" in order to really own this country, and Lian and the Yan family is an inevitable step, as long as he gets the in-law relationship of the Yan family, even if he really coerces the princes of the Son of Heaven, the Yan family will support it.

And just like that, the engagement feast was set.
