There is a teahouse in Xichuan.
Xun Jin and the subordinates of the East Palace carefully checked the inner room to make sure that there were no ears in the partition wall. Everyone took their seats according to their status. Yun Sheng and Yun Xi sat opposite each other. A map of the northwest situation was spread out on the table. Sheng slightly bent his index finger, tapped the table twice, and said simply: "It's been three days since I arrived in Xichuan. Fourth child, please tell me your views on Xichuan and the Han family."
Yunxi rubbed his forehead irritably, touched his chin and thought hard for a moment. Finally, he shook his head and announced that he had given up: "In my opinion, it's just one word, chaos."
The situation in Xichuan is chaotic.
The situation in the Han family is chaotic.
This still did not include the eighteen tribes in the northwest north of the border. The water in the northwest was already so turbid that Yunxi was so irritated that he wanted to hit someone.
"Second brother," Yunxi frowned. Although he didn't want to admit it, he still had to tell the truth, "I feel that the water in the northwest is much deeper than we first thought."
¡°I¡¯m afraid this situation cannot be easily solved by the few of us. It¡¯s better to send the news to Luoyang as soon as possible so that my father can make secondary preparations.¡±
"Hey, Fourth Brother, this is not like you," Yun Sheng held up his face and smiled slightly, "Giving up without even trying, it is different from your past style."
"I thought you would say, second brother, no matter what, let's beat up the Han family first to relieve their anger before talking about anything else."
"Of course I would be like this if I were alone," Yun Xi opened his eyes angrily, pointed at Yun Sheng, and lowered his voice and said, "I'm not worried about you!"
"The safety of the prince is related to the national system. I am not leading you to throw a rat into a trap. Second brother, do you have any consciousness of being the crown prince of a country?"
"If I encounter any difficulties, I will go back without even trying," Yun Sheng looked at Yun Xi deeply and said softly, "Fourth brother, then I really don't have any consciousness of being a prince."
Yunxi thought for a moment, and it seemed that this was indeed the case. He puffed up his face and said angrily: "Okay, you always have a point, so it's up to you. What should I do now?"
"Han Yuan is not dead, and the factional struggle within the Han family is fierce and chaotic. Liao Yuanzhen is careful to avoid the Han family's advances. The Li family is obviously waiting to see the situation," Yun Sheng frowned and muttered, "The most amazing thing is the Cheng family."
"We have been in Xichuan for three days. The children of the Li family are lining up to come over to get close to each other. The Han family and the Liao family are not so exaggerated, but we have seen everything we need to see, except for the second-largest surname in Xichuan. , even the head of the family closed the door to thank guests and did not see outsiders?"
Yunxi rested his chin carelessly and listened, since he couldn't say anything.
"Your Highness," Xun Jin, who had obviously done enough homework, said directly, "The Cheng family has been ill for many years, and now their eldest son is in charge."
"The uncle of the Cheng family was once a fierce general in the northwest. He had no problem beating barbarians. It is said that General Han Yuan admired him very much at that time. It's a pity that heroes are short-tempered, that is, thirteen years ago, maybe. While chasing a group of Colten's cavalry, he was ambushed by the enemy and had his leg broken. After that, he closed his doors and thanked guests and rarely went out."
"What a pity," Yunxi smacked his lips, sat up straight, and sighed sincerely, "For a general, losing a leg is probably more cruel than dying directly If it were me, I'm afraid it would take a long time. It will take a long time to get out.¡±
As soon as Yun Xi said these words, both Yun Sheng and Xun Jinju looked up at him.
Yunxi felt deeply confused: "What, did I say something wrong?"
Yun Sheng and Xun Jin exchanged glances and thought of the same thing.
"It will take a long, long time to get out," Yun Sheng said thoughtfully, "So after not seeing foreigners for more than ten years, does it mean that you haven't gotten out yet?"
"But the problem is, a person who is obsessed with his own shortcomings and can't let go." Xun Jin supported her chin, feeling that things were a little interesting, "How come you have been in charge of the Cheng family for so many years for your father who is lying in bed?"
"Did you come out or not?" Yun Sheng and Xun Jin looked at Yun Xi at the same time and asked him in unison.
"This," Yun Xi was dumbfounded, "How do I know this?"
¡ª¡ªI have never even seen whether the uncle of the Cheng family is round or flat, so it would be amazing to be able to figure out his psychology!
"Not seeing outsiders may be because of one's shortcomings and shyness in meeting people, or it may be that one is disillusioned with the world and tired of socializing," Fu Huaixin said softly, "But as Xun Jin said, for a person who has been in charge of the Cheng family for so many years, the latter's The chance is too small, I personally prefer"
"He has never emerged from the shadows of more than ten years ago. He is just stuck for some reason, and he cannot let go of his secular rights."
"Does the uncle of the Cheng family have a son?" Yunxi said casually, "Is his son very unruly? Do you need me to watch him carefully and not let him go?"
Yun Sheng:! ! !
Xun Jin:! ! !
"Why is it this expression again?" Yun Xi was so moved that he wanted to scratch his head and said speechlessly, "Did I say something wrong again?"
"No, no, Your Highness, you are really amazing!" Xun Jin stood up overjoyed, feeling that a strange point in his thoughts that had been blocked suddenly became clear, and he explained excitedly, "That The uncle of the Cheng family has no son!"
"He doesn't even have any children! No, he still has a daughter, who was born to him by his wife. But she was weak as soon as she was born, so she was sent away from the Cheng family. Since the eldest wife of the Cheng family passed away five years ago, he Not remarrying again! What does this mean!"
"What does this mean?" Yun Xi asked with confusion in his eyes.
"A person who has no financial worries, a disabled person with a humble heart," Yun Sheng lowered his eyebrows and said slowly, "He has no wife and children, he is very old, his mother died, his father has been ill for many years, and he has no children. There are too many people to support, and he has no intention of remarrying. Even as a high-spirited general who once fought on the battlefield, he is tired of being disabled now What does such a person want from worldly rights? "
"Why is he still in charge of the second largest surname in Xichuan after more than ten years of closed doors? Is it just because of his status as the eldest son of the Cheng family?" Yun Sheng shook his head and disagreed, "The Cheng family is a big family. Everyone wants to take a bite of the cake. The so-called aristocratic families, both internally and externally, have spying eyes everywhere. Without any means or ability, they cannot suppress these people."
"What does this uncle of the Cheng family want?"
"In other words, what is it that supports him to survive to this point?"
"This is very simple," Yun Xi held up his chin and smiled slightly, "Worldly things are worldly. If you check the flow of the Cheng family's wealth in the past few years, wouldn't it be obvious?"
"Smart!" Yun Sheng slapped the table, stood up with a smile, and said sincerely, "Fourth brother, if this opening in the northwest can be opened, you should be credited with the first credit!"
Five days later, Yun Sheng unfolded the secret report in the bedroom, and said directly to Yun Xi with a sneer: "It's obvious that the old man of the Cheng family is working for Han Hao!"
¡ª¡ªIn the past five years, more than 30% of the assets of the Cheng family shop have flowed into the pockets of the Han family. If you look deeper, you can see Han Hao's shadow everywhere behind them.
No wonder the Han family is so arrogant now, thinking of reaching out to the supreme imperial power in Luoyang City. It turns out that the Cheng family under their heel has been almost wiped out!
At a time when the second largest surname is being severely suppressed and controlled by the first surname, Liao Yuanzhen's behavior of avoiding the edge is very understandable.
¡ª¡ªLiao Yuanzhen just didn¡¯t want the Liao family to be the first to be killed by Han Hao against the big names in Xichuan City.
"But, isn't this very strange?" Yunxi rubbed his chin and couldn't understand, "The Han and Cheng families have been fighting for so long in Xichuan City, with no one being the best in civility and no second in martial arts. Not to mention there is a feud. Right, but at least a lot of discord from past dynasties must have accumulated"
"Is the Cheng family man crazy? He willingly works for Han Hao and gives up the entire Cheng family to Han Hao?"
According to the secret report, the Cheng family¡¯s financial resources have been tight in recent years, which is far less than what it was five years ago, let alone ten years ago.
"You mean," Yun Sheng pondered, "that the Cheng family is controlled by others?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
