Xiao Yi's eyes flashed slightly, and suddenly they became more profound.

Zhao Jingming couldn't help but scold: "What do they deserve?!" Wolf ambition is wolf ambition! What kind of golden shell do you put on yourself! ”

Under Xu Jing's somewhat inquiring gaze, Xiao Yi picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said, "What the hell is outside here, some things are not easy to say, I will go back to the room in a while, and I will tell you about it." ”

Xu Jing was slightly stunned.

They seem to have talked about a lot of court secrets, this post station is just two guys on duty, because they want to speak, the people around Xiao Yi have already found an excuse to send them out, now, one of them is preparing supper for them in the back kitchen, and the other is making a bed for them in the room, Xiao Yi said these words are not easy to say, it should not be afraid that those two guys will hear.

It could only be that what he was going to say was more confidential than what they had just said, and even the people around him couldn't know it.

After sorting out her thoughts, Xu Jing nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Zhao Jingming on the side scratched his ears and scratched his cheeks when he heard this, and couldn't help but look at them when he saw this, "Can I sleep in the same room with you tonight?" ”

Xu Jing and Xiao Yi: "......"

Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes, and said directly in cold blood and ruthlessly: "Where to stay cool." ”

Zhao Jingming: "......"

He suddenly missed Xiao Yanci, who didn't have a wife before!

Because it was very late, after the food came up, Xu Jing and Xiao Yi just ate two bites casually and went to the upstairs room to rest.

After the two of them washed up briefly, they both went to bed, and in the flickering candle flame, Xiao Yi used a clean handkerchief to gently wipe the ends of her hair that she had accidentally wet for Xu Jing, and said in a low voice: "The four major families of Great Chu are all families that followed Emperor Taizu to fight the world before the founding of Great Chu, and you already know this." Today, the four major families are ranked according to their strength, they are the Zhao family, the Jiang family, the Xiao family and the Wang family, among them, the Wang family used to be the second most powerful family, but it has only fallen in the past few years. But do you know which family was the most powerful of the four major families at the beginning? ”

Xu Jing said: "Could it be ...... The Jiang family? ”

Isn't the answer obvious to him being able to ask this question?

Xiao Yi chuckled and said, "No, the most powerful family at that time was still the Zhao family, but the Jiang family followed closely behind, and there was a faint tendency to surpass."

At that time, the heads of the Zhao family and the Jiang family were both confidants of Emperor Taizu, and these two families had been following Emperor Taizu since he was in decline, and Emperor Taizu was very grateful to them for this, and he was also willing to reuse the Zhao family and the Jiang family.

However, when the world was first decided and Emperor Taizu began to prepare for the enthronement, he discovered something that made him very concerned. ”

Xu Jing was slightly stunned.

Xiao Yi said lightly: "Not many people in Da Chu know about this matter, because Emperor Taizu has ordered that this matter should not be publicized everywhere.

But he asked the historian to write this matter in the secret history of the royal family, and every Wei royal family who became the crown prince could get this secret history and see the contents inside.

It says that when the world was first decided, Emperor Taizu found that the Jiang family had been secretly cultivating its own power, and its power even had the potential to faintly surpass the sum of the other three major families. ”

Xu Jing turned her head sharply and looked at Xiao Yi with an incredulous expression.

No, could it be that this Jiang family has been restless from beginning to end, and since the founding of Great Chu before the founding of the country, they have been thinking about rebellion? !

Xiao Yi seemed to understand the expression on Xu Jing's face, gently turned her head back, and said softly: "Your hair is almost dry, don't move, I'll help you comb your hair." ”

Where did Xu Jing care about her hair now, and couldn't help but ask, "What did Emperor Taizu do after he found out about this?" ”

"No emperor can tolerate his courtiers cultivating his own power behind his back, not to mention that Emperor Taizu is a straightforward character, and hates this kind of twists and turns the most, after he found out about this, he secretly asked someone to find out all the forces of the Jiang family, and then called the head of the Jiang family at that time, and directly threw the scroll with the power of the Jiang family in front of the head of the Jiang family, and asked him what was going on.

The head of the Jiang family immediately knelt down in fright, and after reading the words on the scroll, he could only admit that the Jiang family had indeed expanded a lot of power recently, but his explanation for the Jiang family's behavior was to better support Emperor Taizu, so as to prevent Emperor Taizu from being violated by villains when he was about to ascend the throne. ”

The corners of Xu Jing's mouth twitched slightly, and said, "This reason, Emperor Taizu can't believe it!" ”

Hearing the disdain in Xu Jing's tone, Xiao Yi couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Emperor Taizu really doesn't want to believe it, but the Jiang family has been with him for so many years, and they have been doing their best to support him before, and even for his great cause, the Jiang family has sacrificed a lot of sons, and emotionally, he is even more unwilling to believe that the Jiang family wants to betray him."

The head of the Jiang family Xu saw Emperor Taizu's hesitation, and immediately said that this matter was done by their Jiang family, they originally saw that Emperor Taizu had been so worried about his recent accession to the throne, and they didn't want to let their family's affairs disturb Emperor Taizu, so they took it upon themselves to hide these things, but they absolutely had no disobedience to Emperor Taizu, if Emperor Taizu minded the forces they secretly expanded, their Jiang family was willing to let these forces out, and let go of half of the power that their Jiang family originally had. ”

Xu Jing was silent, and couldn't help sighing: "This head of the Jiang family is a talent. ”

Know how to read words and colors, conform to people's hearts, and have the decisiveness and courage to cut off their arms at critical moments.

No wonder later, the Jiang family survived, and the holy favor was undiminished, becoming one of the four major families of Great Chu.

Xiao Yi held the comb grate in his hand, gently combed Xu Jing's inky black hair, and nodded softly with his eyes, "That's right, he did protect the Jiang family at the last moment, but it also made the Jiang family, which was originally second only to the Zhao family, the weakest family among the four major families."

It is conceivable that in the past 30 years after the founding of the Great Chu People's Republic of China, the Jiang family has spent a lot of effort to catch up with themselves. ”

Xu Jing lowered her eyes and pondered, and after a while, she suddenly said, "So what Jiang Erlang said about the oppression of the Wei royal family on their Jiang family refers to this matter?" What their Jiang family wants to get back, could it be the throne that they didn't have time to rebel and snatch back then? ”

The more Xu Jing said, the more ridiculous she felt, what kind of bandit logic was this?!

Originally, they wanted to rob someone else's throne, but they failed, but it became someone else who robbed them of their things?

Their Jiang family, won't they all educate the next generation like this, right?

Xiao Yi was silent for a moment, but said, "What Jiang Yu said should be more than this. ”

Xu Jing couldn't help but be a little stunned. (End of chapter)
