Chapter 159: Power
Out of the stone house where the communication crystal was, the three of them walked quietly along the stone path.
There is no sound in the huge county government, after the disaster of this demon beast, the county government has lost the security when it first came here, and now the Shengshan border army on duty in the county government has all been transferred to various places in Shengshan County to maintain order.
Walking out all the way, Xu Yuan let out a long sigh.
engagement
The word marriage is so far away for him in his past life and present life, although his elders have been urging marriage since he graduated from college in his previous life, but urging marriage is one thing, and ignoring it is another, and now it is really in front of him.
Mu Zhiyun.
Xu Yuan subconsciously appeared in his mind.
A very beautiful and strong woman, he was almost bitten by the other party before he was drugged.
The other party should hate him very much, after all, the kind of thing that happened at the beginning, and if you don't hate it, it's called fake.
This marriage contract is a complete political marriage.
Because of the family, in his previous life, Xu Yuan had seen a family formed by political marriage, and he had an elder who had a good relationship.
Although they got married and had children, they still played their own games.
People in their forties and fifties still go clubbing with young people like him every day, and they play with things that are even more expensive than him.
Xu Yuan shook his head slightly.
Today is different from the past, although the world today largely retains the ancient social customs of the previous life.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan didn't continue to think about it.
It's a big head when you think about it, instead of continuing to think about it, otherwise take a step by step, now it's just a marriage contract, and you can withdraw from the marriage if you have a marriage contract.
Walking all the way, I came to the school field covered with the corpses of the martyrs of the Shengshan Border Army, and then there was the main hall where Captain Wang was located.
Captain Wang, he did not wait for him at the door of the communication wafer.
There are too many people who have died under the tide of demon beasts, and the government affairs system of the entire Shengshan County has basically been paralyzed, and there are too many affairs to deal with, and there is no skill.
Walking on the potholed stone road,
suddenly
A quiet voice came from Xu Yuan's side:
"Xu Yuan. You're getting married? β
It's a big ice mound.
She stared at him unblinking with a pair of quiet eyes, as if she had thought for a long time before such a question popped up.
Xu Yuan thought about it and smiled helplessly:
"I can't help myself, but there is a high probability that I want to be yellow."
When Ran Qingmo heard the second half of the sentence, her beautiful eyes blinked:
"Yellow? Is it the meaning of encountering accidents? β
Xu Yuan groaned slightly and said in a low voice:
"The Marquis of Wucheng Mansion is a royalist faction, he and my father have never dealt with each other in the court, and I almost fought with my father above the Jinluan Palace because of my affairs before, and this reconciliation is mostly the meaning of the official family in the palace."
Xu Xinyao suddenly asked softly on the side:
"But third brother, since this matter is the intention of the official family, why is there a problem?"
Xu Yuan glanced at her and pointed to his head:
"Little four, think more about things when you encounter them."
β.β
Xu Xinyao's beautiful eyes flashed.
Xu Yuan didn't rush to speak, but waited for her on the side.
Ban Yu,
Xu Xinyao said in a low voice:
"Is it because of the conflict between the official family and my father?"
The words were very short, Xu Yuan was very satisfied, nodded, and said:
"It seems that you are not too stupid, but you are too naΓ―ve, and you can still come up with it if you think about it."
Although it is an exaggeration to say that his father "Xiangguo does not nod, the government decree does not come out of the Jinluan Palace", but the power that my father has now as a courtier is really too great. β
Xu Xinyao was silent.
Her father treats her as his own, and he basically won't hide anything from her, so she knows very well how big the hand of Xiangguofu is now.
In terms of money and food, there is the Tian'an Chamber of Commerce, which is rich and rivals the country, and the intelligence agency controlled by Lou Ji, the Black Scale Guard, is even more powerful than the secret investigation department of the imperial court officials, and as for the military force, there is the Tian'an Martial Arts Hall, which is a way to recruit soldiers all over the world, although the specific number of troops in her father's hands is not clear, but she can still guess it roughly.
Because of the Great Flame, it's really big.
Seeing that the fourth sister was silent, Xu Yuan raised his hand and gently stroked the tips of her hair, and said softly:
"I heard Aunt Lou Ji say that my father met the current official family when he was young and traveled the world, when the emperor was still a prince, the two saw the fatigue of the imperial court, saw the unkindness of the sect, and the suffering of the people in the world made the two of them inspirational to change all this, and then supported Li Yaoxuan to ascend the throne as the emperor, and the two sympathized with each other and began to reform, intending to rectify the sect.
"Now my father's power may have been supported by the official family, but it may be that my father's development in the past few decades has far exceeded the expectations of this official family, and the friendship that was sympathetic to each other may have changed, turning into suspicion and suspicion and mutual use."
Speaking of this, Xu Yuan glanced at Xu Xinyao deeply:
"Little Four, if you were the emperor, would you allow a powerful minister like your father to exist?"
β.β
Xu Xinyao was silent, but after a while, she still said in a low voice, but she didn't answer in her own words: "The official family shouldn't be able to." β
"Of course not."
Xu Yuan immediately replied, with a leisurely tone: "People will change, fathers will change, the emperor will naturally change, the royal family has no family affection, and it is more suitable to be just a former like-minded outsider." β
As he spoke, Xu Yuan looked at the vast number of corpses on the school field and said in a low voice:
"In the emperor's eyes, my father is just a knife, a knife used to cut off the head of the sect, and my former father probably knows this very well, but he is also willing to be a knife in the emperor's hands, because they have a common purpose.
"Kill the sect and return the world to peace."
"But now everything has changed."
"A lot of things have changed over the decades, my father has my mother, I have us, I have those loyal followers of his men.
"And, of course, power."
Xu Yuan's eyes were calm.
Power erodes people's hearts.
Once they have tasted power, few are able to let go.
Xu Yinhe is a qualified father, but he is not a saint.
Even if his cultivation is a saint, he is not.
The saint who cultivates is just a title that other people flatter, Old Man Luo also said this before, he was also an ordinary person with a stronger cultivation during his lifetime, and it is difficult to produce a real saint for a thousand years.
Father has been deeply involved in it, and giving up power means giving up a lot, and himself, his family, and a series of people under him will be purged.
Kindness does not come from luxury.
Xu Yuan said in a low voice:
"My father is already a spiritual sword with independent consciousness for the official family, and the official family has also become an obstacle for his father.
"Now that there are great enemies of the sect outside, they can work together.
"But when the sect is really over, friends who used to be like-minded and sympathetic to each other can only face each other with swords!"
