The wind is rushing in the evening.

The eldest prince was located in the Cuiliu Manor in the south of the city, and was assigned to Lin Xi at this time as his temporary residence.

And Lin Xi is not idle.

In addition to continuing to write books, I will also look through the summaries of various forces sent by some of the great princes.

There may be discrepancies, but in general, there will be no mistakes.

After reading it, Lin Xi had a more intuitive and clear understanding of the Great Xia Dynasty.

The situation in the Xia Dynasty is indeed complicated in detail. Factions of different sizes composed of various nobles, civil and military, factions, township parties, the same year, teachers and students, fellow sects, etc., filled the entire Great Xia court, weaving a huge net with each other, and shrouded the entire Xia Kingdom.

As the royal capital of the Xia Kingdom, the pattern in Kyoto is even more complicated.

It is even possible that a casual petty official of seven or eight grades will have a court boss standing behind him, holding heavy power.

Of course, the more complex things are, the more important it is to look at them from a simple perspective.

Delete those things that are like flowers and cover people's eyes, inside and outside the court, up and down the Xia Kingdom, nothing more than conservative and reform, two big systems, are competing.

This kind of competition is everywhere.

Even among the people, there was a lot of discussion, and the people were inadvertently divided into two factions.

Even people like Bawang, who have never stood in line, can actually be classified as conservatives.

Because, standing still, for those radical reformers, are conservatives.

For the Grand Prince, however, the reformers were not necessarily allies.

Because there is a considerable part of them, extremely radical.

Most of these people are from the middle and lower classes, and they made a fortune quickly because of the external expansion of the Xia Kingdom, and they often have extremely strong forces overseas, and they also have a lot of dependence on them at home.

To some extent, the Xiahou family... They can almost be classified into this ranks.

Before the Xia Kingdom opened the sea ban, started the great voyage, and explored the world, the Xiahou family was just a small family in Binhai Province, and it was not ranked at all in the Xia country.

This group of guys who suddenly grasped the power and gained the right to speak are extremely eager to have bigger and more rights.

What they think is even subversive. Compared with those wealthy families who have lived in temples in China for a long time and are trapped by the thoughts of monarchs and ministers, they have seen a more wild and open world.

Monarchs, ministers, ethics, and rules are already extremely fragile in their eyes.

More interests, and greater rights, are what they really want.

In order to obtain these, they even did not hesitate to light earth-shaking fires.

But what the eldest prince wants is the supreme right, and the entire era promoted by himself is more prosperous.

Therefore, the eldest prince and the most radical reformers are not all the way. Fundamentally, they are also competitors.

"Looking at it this way, in fact, the alliance of the eldest prince is very few, which is a disadvantage, but of course it can also be an advantage. As for the moment, he can occupy a situation that seems to be very active, but in fact, he has been used by others. ”

"Someone wants to throw a stone and ask for directions. "Lin Xi is so old and spicy, not long after he first came to the imperial capital, he took advantage of the little power of the eldest prince to share the profits, and gradually peeled off the cocoon, grasping the core contradiction at this time.

"Does the eldest prince know?" Lin Xi then thought.

Then he shook his head, with what he knew about the eldest prince, he couldn't find out.

Although the eldest prince is not ambitious and talented, he is also ruthless and not alert.

From the fact that in order to gain the support of the Xiahou family, he instigated Xiahou Jie to assassinate his brother, it can be seen... Although the eldest prince is unscrupulous, he still lacks some real great wisdom, but he is good at playing with means.

Such a guy, if he really becomes an emperor, I am afraid that he will also be mean and unkind, and it is extremely easy to cause domestic contradictions to intensify.

"If he doesn't know, I can't let him know. Otherwise, if you know that you are being used, with the temperament of the great prince, I am afraid that you will be provoked. ”

"The use is mutual, since someone has taken advantage of the Great Prince, then I can borrow the Great Prince and use them in reverse. Thinking of this, a plan slowly took shape.

The eldest prince returned to Beijing for five days, and there has been no movement.

On the contrary, Lin Xi's identity as 'Xiahou Zun' on the surface was completely investigated.

For a long time, Luo Cheng, who has been in contact with Lin Xi and is a die-hard fan of his books, has never visited him.

The promotion of the book in the Electric Age, which was originally in full swing, was also appropriately put on hold.

Obviously, with the change of Lin Xi's apparent identity, Luo Cheng finally parted ways with him.

Luo Cheng, as the king of You, even if he has his own little hobbies, he can still carry his duties clearly and will not exceed the rules.

In the past, Xiahou Zun was the concubine of the Xiahou family, and there was no major problem if he had some contact.

Today's Xiahou Zun is the confidant of the eldest prince, and if he has any more contact, it will inevitably cause the emperor to be unhappy and even suspicious.

Losing Luo Cheng, a tool man, Lin Xi still felt a little pity.

But it doesn't hurt.

After all, the book of the Electric Age has been promoted to a certain extent.

The next step is to wait for fermentation.

Next is the book "Tale of Three Cities", which tells about the rich lives of those wealthy sons and ladies in Kyoto, Jiujing and Juncheng, the three most important cities in the Xia Kingdom, and also tells the process of them changing from prosperity to decline and from decline to prosperity. ”

"This book, on the surface, is a description of the extravagant life of the upper class, and its decay and erosion. But what is written in the bones is change and progress. It is a guide book for some low-level people and down-and-out aristocrats who are eager to regain their glory. ”

"This book... It's really not suitable for Luo Chenglai to promote, the eldest prince... It's just right. And those who calculate the great prince should be more happy to have such a book, which has caused a wide sensation and resonance. ”

And they didn't know that it was after the exposure of this book that they would gradually be pushed directly from behind the scenes to the front of the stage, and they had to join forces with the eldest prince first. Lin Xi pressed the manuscript.

The brilliance in the eyes intersected, like a silk thread intertwined with fate.

Once again, a large amount of soul power was burned.

Lin Xi still couldn't see through that thin veil of mist and grasp the real extraordinary power in his hands.

"There are a lot of strange tricks in this world, but most of the rules involved are relatively shallow. Such a miracle as predicting the future is a minority. ”

And in these few strange tricks that involve profound rules, life and death... It seems to be a topic that is difficult to touch. So far, no family has mastered the miraculous skills derived from these two rules. ”

"It's impossible... Or is it not enough to accumulate?" Lin Xi thought of a new question.

For any living being, life and death are unavoidable topics.

The people of this world have tried countless times in the past.

The most effective is only the Qi Dynasty of the previous dynasty, and the miraculous skill of the royal Jiang family is to prolong life.

Members of the royal family, generally can live past 100 years.

But it doesn't stop there.

With the extinction of the Jiang family in the Qi Dynasty, this life-prolonging miracle technique was naturally cut off.
