It is said that this Zhenhuang City was built 300 years ago, flourished 200 years ago, and flourished 100 years ago.

It is also said that about 150 years ago, 300,000 displaced people, in order to escape the continuous war and the gradually cold climate, moved south from the northern realm of Zhenlong, and stepped into the Western Regions—about one-third of them, and finally settled in this Zhenhuang City.

Among the tens of thousands of families who settled in Zhenhuang City, there was one family surnamed Xu.

In fact, it is not uncommon for people with the surname Xu to be in the world - as the eleventh surname among the 100 surnames of Zhenlong, people with the surname Xu have been extremely common since ancient times. Because, among the tens of thousands of families who fell to Zhenhuang City back then, there were naturally hundreds of families with the surname Xu.

It's just that this Xu is very different from other Xu.

This Xu is the famous face of the real dragon in the last years, Xu Wei and Xu Wenzheng.

And this Lord Xu Weixu is also the one who is known as the 'red-eyed prime minister', the only prime minister from a poor family in the seven hundred years of Zhenlong.

Although Lord Xu was born in a poor family, he is really a once-in-a-century genius. He was literate at the age of one, recited poetry at the age of three, composed lyrics at the age of five, became a famous talent in the township at the age of nine, was a Zhonghuiyuan at the age of thirteen, and entered the court as a tanhualang at the age of eighteen and served as a lecturer in the palace. Perhaps because the officials of the central government felt that Xu Wei was still young and embarrassed by the heavy responsibility, the position of palace lecturer arranged for him was only 400 stones, which was not as good as the county magistrate, nor was he in the imperial court establishment. However, don't be in a hurry to scoff at it—although this official is indeed small and oilless, it has a benefit that he can never reach: the lecturers of this palace teach students who are princes and nobles. If you can have a good relationship with these them, you will naturally be able to mix with the beauty of the prince and master in the future, and you will definitely not have to worry about eating and drinking in this life.

And the young Xu Wei also thought about it like this - if he could live a quiet life without worrying about eating and drinking all his life, composing poems and lyrics all day long, drinking and talking, and dreaming of life and death, wouldn't it be more beautiful than being an official in the court?

It's just that although the ideal is good, the reality has played a little joke with him. At that time, Xu Wei was weak and young, so there was only one student he taught.

But this is only one person, this student of the same age as him, but he is not a prince and nobleman at all.

It's the prince of the East Palace.

......

It was said that later, when Xu Wei was thirty-three years old, the new emperor ascended the throne with the year name 'Xiuping'.

Less than a month after ascending the throne, he issued three successive expedition orders to summon Xu Wei to enter the court, and directly assumed the post of Shaofu in Jiuqing, in charge of the imperial finances.

In the autumn of the following year, he was awarded the title of Taishi of the Son of Heaven, one of the three princes of Xu Wei.

After three years, in the spring of the fourth year, Xu Wei succeeded Lord Yang, who had been resigned and returned to his hometown, as the right prime minister of Zhenlong.

The real dragon has been valued by the right since ancient times, and this right prime minister is naturally the one who really makes the decision in the left and right phases.

Xu Wei, who was Chinese New Year's Eve eight years old at the time, rose so quickly and became the youngest prime minister in the 700-year history of Zhenlong - it is said that in those days, the Xu family's mansion would be crowded with all kinds of colleagues in the DPRK and China, relatives and friends for three days, and yesterday he was still complimenting 'Xu Shaofu is worthy of being the pillar of the imperial court', and today he has to quickly change his words 'congratulations to the prime minister, congratulations to the prime minister'.

And Xu Wei did not live up to the expectations of the Son of Heaven at all. During the fifteen years of his reign as the right prime minister, he indulged in his talent and ambitions, and was called the 'Imperial Twin Walls' together with Wang Jian, the general of the True Dragon at that time. Militarily alone, he drove out the Hulu, broke the Southern Barbarians, sank the East China Sea, and settled the situation, once pacifying the situation in which Zhenlong was embattled on all sides and in all directions in the last years of Zhenlong; politically, Xu Wei also hit the nail on the head to point out the stubborn diseases of Zhenlong over the past 700 years, and gradually rectified the rule of officials, revised the tax legal system, and promoted land reform with a set of methods of 'millet rice and sticks,' so that the state treasury was enriched to a point that had not been seen in a hundred years.

It can be said that if it weren't for the fact that Lord Xu's personality had some problems, resulting in some unworthy virtues, this period of time would not have been called the last return of the True Dragon Dynasty by future generations, but 'Xiuping Zhongxing'.

Although Xu Wei is a genius and a rare smart person in this world, he also has the common problems of all smart people in this world.

Good jealousy.

Very jealous

Then someone wants to ask, now that you have become the prime minister of the dynasty, the prince of heaven, and the great man in this world, who is under one person and above ten thousand, what else can you be jealous of? Isn't it, you want to be jealous of the Son of Heaven?

No, no, no, the Son of Heaven is naturally jealous. It's just that being in a high position does not mean being highly respected.

Even if everyone in the world forgets Xu Wei's background, he himself will remember what he looked like when he was young and poor - what's more, with the name of the 'red-eyed prime minister', how can anyone forget?

The poverty and high ambitions of his youth really made Master Xu develop an awkward character who couldn't see others good or bad.

Geniuses want to get along with geniuses, but geniuses are also the most unsightly geniuses.

Therefore, in the fifteen years since Xu Wei entered the dynasty, he either treated people arrogantly and commandingly, or made things difficult and forced people to resign...... There was even a time when he was so domineering that he was not allowed to have a single voice against him in the entire court.

Who would have thought that Xu Wei, who knew the destiny of heaven, would really become a 'red-eyed prime minister' who blushes at everyone.

And since ancient times, people who have walked to such fields are not far from the end of their careers.

So, in the fifteenth year of Xu Wei's entry into the dynasty, the Son of Heaven, who issued three expeditionary orders to summon him to the court, reprimanded him for his great disrespect and ordered him to resign and return to his hometown on the grounds that he had overturned the jade cheese wine that had been paid tribute to him a few days ago.

It was also the same Son of Heaven, on his way back to his hometown, who secretly gave him a glass of wine.

The following year, Xu Wei was accused of the word 'Wenzheng'.

This is the only five people in the 700 years of the true dragon to receive the good word.

Although all the officials in the DPRK and China at that time felt that Master Xu had a problematic character, he was obviously not worthy of these two words.

But the edict of the Son of Heaven is no longer dared to refute without Xu Wei.

......

After Xu Wei's death, the Xu family was afraid that they would be implicated in the government affairs of the DPRK and China, and they were raided and exterminated by the nine clans one day, so they hurriedly took the gold and silver at home, and dozens of men, women and children, and fled overnight.

At that time, it happened to be the time when 300,000 homeless people moved south, and the Xu family was also mixed with these ragged homeless people, and came to the land of the Western Regions far away from Emperor Gao, and settled in this Zhenhuang city.

And after settling down, the Xu family naturally didn't want to be idle all day long, be idle, eat up their old books and wait for death...... So, after being checked by all parties, the Xu family, who had a relationship with Zhenhuang Qimen, looked at the caravan and horses coming and going, his eyes purred, and he thought of the next way out.

'Xujia Business Bureau'.

I want to be the No. 1 business bureau in the Western Regions.

He scattered all his money, bought the carriages, horses, buildings, bought the merchant goods, and then bought the connections and geography, and was bound to compete with all kinds of merchants and travelers of the two major dynasties in the East and the West with his own strength, and become the first rich man in the Western Regions!

And the Xu family is worthy of everyone who gave birth to a famous appearance, although they are from a poor family and do not have much cultural background, they are good at learning. In addition, the younger generation of the Xu family also received a good education of scholars, and in just 20 years, they initially achieved the goal set at the beginning, and the business was far better than the dynasty business travel of the true dragon and ancient sages in the past.

Of course, the reason why the Xu Family Business Bureau was able to leave the True Dragon Gu Xian's business bureau behind so quickly was not only because he was constantly climbing upwards - but also because the True Dragon and Gu Xian had already been twilight.

At dusk, at night.

Sleep peacefully on the couch and dream big.

Just like the aurora in the sky, which has been regarded as an auspicious omen since ancient times, this big dream also came out of nowhere.

The Xu family only knew that one day, in the business trip to Zhenhuang City, there was a caravan captain with bandaged eyes riding a fast horse, not caring about his dusty appearance, nor his lips cracked because of thirst, he kept galloping to the Xu family's mansion, pushed away the servants who came to stop him, rushed into the tea room, and tightly grabbed the sleeve of the head of the house, and spoke out of breath.

"It's going to change! It's going to change! It's going to change!"
