"Why did the Sun family secretly move their own family members to Shaanxi?"

After listening to the latest news from his brother Haijiao, Haitang asked puzzledly.

Haijiao had already discussed this issue with Zhou Yijun and Tang Meng's two friends, so he naturally had his own conjectures: "Didn't his family arrange for Sun Yonglu to come over to snatch military power in the early years?" In their previous life, they were successful, but Sun Yonglu's ability was limited, and his actions were unreliable, so he couldn't see it even with his accomplices, so he was pulled off the horse in a few years, otherwise the Sun family would not have no hope of taking root in the northwest and becoming a big family like the Zhou family and the Tang family. ”

This generation of descendants Yonglu was kicked out of the Northwest Frontier Army early, but the Sun family obviously refused to give up, and moved a group of clansmen over, planning to use these people to settle in Lintong, participate in the imperial examination or join the army in the future, and once again try to seek real power in the northwest. If it weren't for Du Boqin's fall, the minions of the Sun family planted around Chang'an would also be caught, causing the Sun family's conspiracy to be exposed, maybe it would really make them happen.

Haijiao is silent in front of others, but he is still quite happy in private. In this life, his efforts were not in vain, he destroyed the conspiracy of the Sun family several times in succession, and his plans for many years have failed, and he has lost a lot of money by losing troops and generals, and even the clansmen have called the generals of the Northwest Frontier Army to target him, which is really happy!

Haitang thought for a while: "I guess after Sun Ge Lao mastered the power of the court, he found that his family was completely supported by the emperor's favor, the foundation was weak, the emperor wanted to change the law, and it was okay when they could be used, in case one day the opposition to the change was too loud, and the emperor was unable to resist, in order to protect themselves, they pushed them out to be shields, they had no power to protect themselves, and they were about to fall from a high place immediately, and they would be crushed to pieces, and it would be difficult to turn over, so they planned to snatch the military power of the Zhou family." As long as they have military power to protect themselves, coupled with the power they hold in the court, even the emperor cannot easily treat them as outcasts.

"I used to wonder why the Sun family wanted military power, why didn't they choose the forbidden army or the army around the capital? Isn't that closer to the water, and it makes the emperor dare not do anything to them? Now that they think about it, they probably also know that the power of those armies is something that the emperor will never hand over to them, at most, they only dare to use the way of marriage to exert a little influence, but they definitely dare not occupy the position openly, so they will focus on the northwest border army. The northwest is far enough away from the capital, but the army is very strong, with enough deterrent power, and it will not let the emperor strictly prohibit the Sun family from getting involved. The Sun family moved another group of clansmen to the northwest to settle down, lay a good foundation in the local area, and when the situation in the DPRK and China was not good one day, the big deal would be to retreat to the northwest with the family, and who could threaten their lives? ”

The reason why the Sun family stared at the Zhou family and suppressed calculations everywhere was probably because they were jealous of the Zhou family's influence in the northwest and wanted to replace it. Besides, if they want to plot military power in the northwest, if they don't suppress the Zhou family, the number one family in the northwest army, no matter how much calculation they make, they will not succeed, at most they will only become a local wealthy clan with little right to speak. If the emperor has the intention to exterminate the Sun family, the Zhou family will only obey orders, and at that time, even if the Sun family places more fields and industries in the northwest and provides more civil and military generals, they can only be captured.

Haitang figured this out and told her brother. Haijiao echoed her analysis.

He also said: "Even if the plot for military power in the northwest fails, the Sun family quietly relocates a group of clansmen to come over, and they are also seeking a way out for their own family." ”

After the new monarch succeeded to the throne in the previous life, the Sun family finally collapsed after struggling for several years, but in fact, only Sun Ge Lao, as well as the people of several houses who were close to him and became high-ranking officials, were arrested. In their hometown, there are many clansmen who have not participated in the rebellion and crime that escaped safely, but their fame was abolished and their land was confiscated, but there are still sacrificial fields in the clan to support their children and grandchildren, and their ancestral houses have been preserved. In addition, there are many clansmen whose whereabouts are unknown, and a large amount of property and evidence of the Sun family's crimes have been taken away. These people, the imperial court has not stopped pursuing, but unfortunately, until the death of the reef, they are still nowhere to be found.

In fact, it is not that the court is careless, but after the fall of the Sun family, the court and the central government have not been peaceful since then, there are still many troubles emerging one after another, and there are people with bad intentions who have jumped out to make trouble, and Tao Yue and Tao Xiangye have been exhausted to death. The secret agent of the Jinyi Guard on the reef was also folded in the hands of one of the prisoners. The energy of the imperial court has been dragged down, how much strength can be allocated to track down dozens of inconspicuous Sun family members? Anyway, Sun Ge's old family is dead, and even if the rest of the people escape, they won't be able to become a climate, so the court will leave it alone.

However, Haijiao can probably guess now that the Sun family members who disappeared in their previous life may have been hidden somewhere.

After the fall of the descendants of the previous generation, the Northwest Frontier Army finally had a reliable new commander, Marshal He, who pacified the border disputes between Chu and Hu; The Zhou family also served as middle and low-level military attachés in the border army, and the dispatch days were low; The Zhenguo Mansion in Beijing struggled to prove itself to the new monarch and strive to return to the northwest; The Tang family is declining day by day, and it is no longer as prominent as it used to be.

At such a time, there are no famous families with enough influence in Shaanxi. If the Sun family can conceal their true identity, take root in Lintong County, and operate quietly, they really won't attract anyone's attention. After a few decades, they recovered their vitality and returned to the center of power in the name of the Lintong Sun clan, who would know that they were rebels?

Hai Jiao only sighed that the Sun family acted so secretly in their previous life, and it was too insidious to be able to carve out a piece of their own world on the territory of the Northwest Frontier Army, but they did not attract anyone's attention. Fortunately, he was a human being in two lives, and he reminded the Zhou family in time and did not let them continue to be calculated by the Sun family, otherwise, the Zhou family lost power, and the Hai family, Xie Wenzai and others, who were protected by the Zhou family, could have a good result? I'm afraid that if I go back to my hometown in Zhili, there will be no peaceful life to live, right?

Haijiao couldn't help but whisper to his sister: "The Zhou family is so careless! Obviously, Zhenguo Gong is shrewd, and he has always won more and lost less against the Shanghu people, and he will not let people take advantage of the Sun family, and the Sun family will not wait until Zhenguo Gong dies to really win the military power in the northwest, but his old man was stunned that he didn't find that under his nose, there were large fields and a large number of clansmen of the Sun family. Whether it is the Northwest Frontier Army or the local officials in Shaanxi, they all asked the Sun family to buy and install a lot of people, but the Zhou family didn't even notice it, no wonder they were repeatedly frustrated in their previous lives! ”

Haitang sighed: "No matter how powerful Zhen Guogong is, he is just one person. How much do you expect him to be able to manage? Besides, he is also old now, and his physical energy is not as good as a year, just managing the border army is enough to work hard, right? He trusts the generals under him, and thinks that Shaanxi is the basic plate of the Zhou family, and the old departments of the Zhou family's relatives and friends are all over the place, so there will be no problems, so how can he pay attention to those trivial matters? ”

The reef fell silent for a moment before saying, "Indeed." I can't think that just because Zhen Guogong is so good at fighting can handle anything. Although he has many trusted generals, the Tang family has their own plans, and other generals also have their own selfish intentions; His sons are very capable, but General Zhou and General Wednesday have been stationed in Gansu and Su for many years, General Tuesday married an unconscious lady, General Thursday is an adopted son, and he always acts in a restrained manner, General Friday died early, and General Saturday was still young...... Even among the clansmen, there are people like Sanfang who always lag behind...... How many helpers can he have that he can use with confidence? It's normal to have some omissions. Not to mention, the emperor of the capital loves to cause chaos and always protects the Sun family......"

Haijiao felt that he should work harder, and he couldn't rely on Zhen Guogong to handle everything.

Putting all your eggs in one basket is too risky.
