Chapter 5: The Poison of Power
"In the past two days, Jinyi Wei has frequently come to the door, saying that it is a routine search, but this is not Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows it!"
"How this should be!"
"Is this a repeat of the past?" At this moment, the clansmen of the Chen family gathered together, one by one, like mourning, some pessimistic people were already secretly wiping their tears, without him, it was really because Jinyiwei was too tight.
How long has it been since the tragedy of the Chen family six years ago, some old people still vaguely remember the day the sky fell of the Chen family, and the big family of the third line of the "Clan Chronicle" fell off the altar overnight.
Now, six years later, the same calamity had once again found them, and these old men couldn't help but look at the young man above, a young man in his early twenties, named Chen Cen, who was now at the helm of the Chen family.
"Master, how do we deal with it?" After asking this sentence, everyone's eyes were focused on this young man.
"This ...... Alas, I'm also in a dilemma, it's better to ask," Chen Cen smiled bitterly: "Why don't I ask Sister?" "Chen Cen is Chen Yin's younger brother, but the two are only nominal brothers and sisters, after all, the men of Chen's lineage died in the catastrophe six years ago, otherwise if there was a man left behind back then, it would not be Chen Yin's daughter's turn to come out to support the scene.
Chen Cen is the heir who succeeded to the main line of the Chen family from among the clansmen after Chen Yin reintegrated the three points of the Chen family.
This move is also a helpless move, Chen Yin's age is not young, she will marry sooner or later, even if she recruits a son-in-law in the future, this family has always been conservative, and there has never been a precedent for a woman to head the family, so she can't control the Chen family.
It can be said that there are advantages and disadvantages to the succession of the people who split the family to the main line, and the benefits are obvious, and those old people who were still in Chen Yin's daughter's family but showed up as the head of the family almost overnight no longer beaked.
But the problem of this move is also not small, although the family restricts the rules, as long as the procedures for succession are complete, and the ancestral hall has completed the procedures in front of the ancestors, then everyone will immediately forget the identity of this person.
But Chen Cen's problem is not only in identity, Chen Yin's ability to turn the tide back then is obvious to all, and to this day there are still many Chen clan people who think that she must be the head of the family, even if she is a daughter's family.
Therefore, there are also a large number of people in the Chen family who are solid supporters of Chen Yin, and they are very dissatisfied with Chen Cen's coming to power, and another crucial problem is that Chen Cen's own ability is also insufficient.
This man is the result of compromise between all parties, and although his coming to power can silence those people, this cannot change the fact that his own ability is mediocre.
Chen Yin took over the heavy responsibility in the midst of danger, and it can be said that he grew up in blood and fire, and later Chen Cen just sat back and enjoyed his success, and he didn't have the ability to save the building.
But now that these Chen clan people are already riding tigers, if they admit Chen Cen's incompetence, wouldn't they slap themselves in the face, do they still want to lower their heads and invite the eldest lady back?
These people can't afford to lose people, and they don't want to admit that they are not as good as a woman, so now that something has happened to the Chen family, they can only stare at each other with big eyes, sigh, despair, cry and cry with a sad face, but they still have a stubborn mouth.
For Chen Yin, although the current situation is bad, the catastrophe of the Chen family is not her chance, just like six years ago, her brother and father all died, and it is precisely because of this that she has the opportunity to contact the authority of this thousand-year-old family.
Power is a kind of poison, once it is contaminated, it will be addicted, and now Chen Yin is no longer the young and ignorant little girl she was back then, what she wants to hold in her hand is not just an empty title of a big lady.
......
"Miss, those people in front of you have already made a lot of noise, and it is said that Chen Cen Gongzi still wants to come and ask you for an idea, but he was scolded back by the clan elders." The maid covered her mouth and chuckled, and her thoughts were already very obvious when she saw the excitement.
Six years have passed, Chen Yin is no longer as young as she was back then, and now she is already very different from those ordinary boudoir women, just sitting here, a high-ranking temperament arises spontaneously.
Chen Yin gently rubbed the teacup with his fingers, and said lightly: "If everything is smooth, Chen Cen can barely be a man who keeps his way, but he just listened to the words of those people without knowing whether he was alive or dead, and wanted to stretch his hand into the palace...... Amusing. She knows very well that today's court is different from the constraints of the first emperor at that time, and the current court is like a tiger that can't be fed, as long as it is the meat sent to the door, no matter whether it is soft or hard, he will not let it go.
Chen Yin's eyes were gloomy, and there was a sigh in his tone that could not be concealed: "Your Majesty is not the first emperor, the Chen family is no longer the Chen family of the year, the third in the "Clan Chronicle"? After all, it is just an empty dream, and if those old stubborns want to regain the glory of the past, there is only a dead end. "The reason why the Chen family is not willing to be lonely is very clear, as a family that was once the third genius, they are not willing to survive in the cracks of various forces, and they always want to fight again.
Chen Yin never thinks it's a bad thing to be ambitious, but he always has to see who his opponent is, right? These people's eyes were above the top, but they couldn't see what kind of tiger and wolf the brocade guards standing opposite them were.
If you want to gamble and fight, Jinyiwei dares to say that no one dares to say the first the next day, when the commander made Meng Yuan gamble and sent Jinyiwei to the position of the minister of the dragon, His Majesty was able to hold the family in his hand as a ball before he ascended the throne, and now the commander Ying Wuxian is an embroidered spring knife directly swept the first Wang family in the "Clan Chronicle" into the garbage heap, these old things of the Chen family have not seen clearly what kind of people their opponents are.
"They dare to do something to the palace, this is definitely touching the bottom line of Jinyiwei, these people can't please them, Chen Cen doesn't have to do it himself, Jinyiwei will pull him down from that position for us." Chen Yin has a bit of ambition in her eyes, but after all, this time is different from a small fight, and she inevitably muttered: "There is one thing I care about very much, Chen Cen has moved his mind that he shouldn't be, and it is reasonable for Jin Yiwei to clean him up, but the Chen family can't be left without an owner for a day, if you want to change a sensible person to power, they should only consider me." "Because Chen Yin is a daughter, she is destined to not be able to control the family like a man, and there is such a natural restriction that Jin Yiwei will choose her to lead the Chen family, which can almost be said to be certain, and there is no more suitable person than her.
But what Chen Yin hesitated was that from the time Jin Yiwei started to do something to Chen, she hadn't seen Jin Yiwei's lobbyists once, if it were in the past, those people would have come to the door a long time ago.
"Perhaps, Ying Wuxian thinks that the price is not enough, and he still wants to grind Miss again?" The maid was unsure.
"I hope so." Chen Yin still had some concerns, but she wanted to send someone to test it, but she was afraid that Chen's situation would be more difficult in the future, so all she could do was wait, after all, the initiative was all on Jinyiwei's side.
