Chapter 308: The Secret of Thirty Years Ago
Xia Shao was really refreshing. ”
Bing Xin sat on the opposite side of the round table, her lips lightly opened, and said: "You and I have more difficult enemies when we first come to White Emperor City, your enemy is the Lei family, and the little woman's enemy is the Bai family. We might as well join forces and completely erase these two from the stage of history. ”
"Poof......" Xia Yun almost choked to death with tea, Bingxin's words were really amazing, and the idea hit the heads of the royal family. If this is known by the Holy One, even if there are nine heads, it will not be able to keep it.
"It's true that you say I have a grudge with the Lei family, but what grudge do you have with the royal family?"
Knowing oneself and knowing the other is the premise of cooperation, and I have to say that Xia Yun does have some intentions. It is not easy to deal with the Lei family and the God of War Academy, and a few guys around him are not smart and well-informed, except for arranging some simple tasks, he is all responsible for making suggestions.
But with his head alone, he may not be able to break his head. And someone like Bingxin is exactly the best person he needs. Of course, the premise is that Bingxin really has a grudge against the royal family, otherwise he wouldn't hand over his back to this femme fatale.
"Do you know why Old City Lord Xia was assigned to Qingyun City?" Bing Xin didn't answer the rhetorical question, but brought up Xia Lan's past.
Xia Yun shook his head, he really didn't know about the old man's youth, he could only roughly guess that the saint had the meaning of rabbits and dead dogs cooking and birds hiding their bows.
"Thirty years ago, as the generalissimo of the White Dragon Empire, the old city lord of Xia leaned towards the government and the opposition, and no one could match it. After a complete victory in the Battle of Dingjun, the enemy country did not dare to attack for a while, and Generalissimo Xia, who should have returned to the imperial capital to enjoy the honor, was demoted by the saint to the small Qingyun City as the city lord, and the reason for this is self-evident. ”
Bing Xin's words confirmed Xia Yun's guess of the Holy Will. In which dynasty or generation in history is this not the case, how can the Holy Divine allow those who have achieved great merit to continue to gain more power and prestige?
When the saint has no reward and no seal, he almost surrenders the throne, it is the time for the hero to retire and return to his hometown.
"Of course, this is only one of the reasons, the second reason is your father, when your father returned with Generalissimo Xia, the saint held a celebration banquet for your grandfather and your father. But who would have thought that your father and the saint took a fancy to the most beautiful dancing girl in the White Emperor City at the same time, but your father took the lead and snatched the woman from the saint, and even cooked the raw rice that night. ”
"The result can be imagined, needless to say, you must also guess that the saint in a fit of anger completely decided to completely deprive the Xia family of power. On the second day, it was announced to the whole country that all the Xia family members would be expelled from the imperial capital......"
Hearing this, Xia Yunwan's thoughts only turned into a sentence hehe, his father is a bull, he dares to snatch food from the mouth of the saint, and he is not afraid to hold on.
However, the strength of the saint is inevitably too small, how can he tolerate the world if he can't tolerate sand in his eyes, how can he tolerate the world, and if he can't tolerate a person in his eyes, how can he tolerate the people of Limin?
To tell the truth, if there is such a saint in charge of the White Dragon Empire, who would be willing to throw his head and spill his blood for it? Anyway, Xia Yun would never do anything for such a dog emperor, he would rather take the lead in rebelling and then deal with the enemy country than leave himself a game of chess that will die.
Perhaps, other people think the same way, which is one of the reasons why the White Dragon Empire has repeatedly suffered defeats in recent years.
"What do you mean by telling me this, do you Bai family also have such an experience?" Xia Yun asked casually, his eyes revealing a little disbelief.
Bing Xin walked to the window, looked at the secluded night sky for a moment, and said with a bitter face: "You may have always thought that the Ice Merchant Family is one of the top ten families, but in fact, although our Ice Merchant Family is a big family, we are not qualified to be among the top ten families. ”
"Why is this?" "It's the first time Xia Yun has heard that the Ice Merchant Family is not one of the top ten families, and their financial resources and strength should be extraordinary, so they can't be ranked in the top ten, could it be that the real top ten families are stronger and have more financial resources?
"The Ice Merchant Family's experience is the same as that of the Xia Family, when we resisted the enemy country thirty years ago, the treasury was empty, and our Ice Family helped to alleviate the crisis and build a solid backing for the White Dragon Empire. But when the war stopped, the saint was afraid of the Bing family's financial resources and took action to curb it. Otherwise, my Bing family would not be so downtrodden that it would not even be as good as the top ten families. Of course, no one in the Bing family dared to snatch the woman that the saint fancied, so he could still stay in the imperial capital. ”
When Bing Xin said the last sentence, he subconsciously glanced at Xia Yun, with a hint of indescribable playfulness in his eyes, as if to say: Although they are both saints, the Bing family is better off than the Xia family.
Xia Yuncai didn't bother to pay attention to Bing Xin's rhetoric of smiling at fifty steps and a hundred steps, and continued to ask: "What about the ten major families, I think the ten major families seem to be much greater than the royal family's rights?
"Hmph, this is self-inflicted by the saint, and the decline of the royal family is inevitable. He was afraid of the Bing family and the Xia family, but he stupidly ran to support the top ten families, the top ten families are not stupid, they grow wise, they develop steadily, and when the time is ripe, they show their fangs, and as a result, the saint still can't get rid of the historical ending of the dispersion of imperial power. ”
"The Ten Great Families became the final winners, dividing up all the interests, including the Emperor Beast Peak, while the Holy One completely became a puppet emperor, and many major matters need to be obeyed by the Ten Great Families. ”
"Yes!"
Xia Yun was secretly refreshed, this kind of guy should accept such a punishment.
"However, the Holy One still did two things to save his life. One is that he supported the ten major families rather than one of them, and the checks and balances between the families allowed the throne to remain to this day. The second is that he married Generalissimo Xia as a brother when he was demoted, as the final reward, which not only preserved the vitality of the Xia family, but also became a supernumerary force that made the ten major families jealous. ”
"I didn't expect our Xia family to become like this, and we are still contributing to the protection of the royal family!" Xia Yun shook his head and smiled, with a strong sense of bitterness.
The power that Bing Xin said in his mouth must be Steward Liu who suddenly appeared in Qingyun City. It's just that there are very few people who know the true strength of Steward Liu, and it is often inevitable that some little people will covet it, and the Qin family is like this, and it is destined to only touch a nose.
However, the top ten families and the royal family were well aware of the strong strength of Steward Liu, and formed a delicate balance.
Of course, the Xia family also can't make any waves, after all, the old man and Steward Liu have long had no intention of fighting for secular power, and if they really want to fight hard, the outcome is not yet known.
However, if the royal family and the top ten families want to get more rights and interests, they can't let the Xia family get involved, and at the same time, they must limit the strength and financial resources of the Bai family. Therefore, no matter how the Xia family and the Bing family have made great contributions, or how the saint has regretted supporting the ten major families, the matter has come to this point, and everyone does not want the Xia family and the Bing family to participate.
