Naturally, Chen Xi didn't know how big of a trap Ji Xiang was setting up for Lu Su. Maybe Ji Xiang himself didn't think there was any problem, but after seeing the news, the first reaction of all the people at the national level was Too dangerous. After all, if someone can distort the will of normal people, most people will not feel at ease unless someone is watching. Naturally, the person qualified to guard a cult leader like Ji Xiang cannot be an ordinary character. Ji Xiang, who also left the military camp after distorting the will of hundreds of thousands of prisoners, never thought about the impact of her doing so. On the contrary, she is now coveting Cai Yan's bookshelf full of books. It is because of the verification that Ji Xiang Really understand how advanced this knowledge is. It is precisely because of the verification that Ji Xiang not only coveted the books in this category, but also became interested in books in other categories. Among the books that can be ranked with them, this incomplete book The volume is so terrifying, how can other categories look down upon it. By the way, as a member of the Ji family who has inherited it for thousands of years, Ji Xiang clearly felt that the witchcraft and divination methods passed down in their family were really nothing compared to these people. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If it were not for the high talent requirements of this kind of book, a family which has mastered this kind of family knowledge, even if it does not go all out, is sufficient to remain in the ranks of the millennium aristocratic families. ¡¾Sure enough, for aristocratic families, the talents of the family are the most important. No matter how profound the legacy of the ancestors is, it is useless if the descendants cannot inherit it. ] Ji Xiang thought silently. Speaking of which, when Ji Xiang was constantly verifying the contents of the fragment, he was also constantly thinking about which noble or which family had possessed similar abilities over the past millennium. Unfortunately, even if the Ji family has a complete inheritance, it is really impossible to determine. ¡¾Alas, if that doesn't work, I can only go to Yang's house to borrow from their collection. ¡¿Ji Xiang thought rather helplessly that after all, except for the Yang family, which may have a complete record of the nobles and the ups and downs of the family for thousands of years, other families in the world today may only have a part related to their own. ¡°After all, the ancestor of the Yang family married Sima Qian¡¯s daughter, and before Sima Qian suffered his death, he asked his daughter Sima Ying to take away the original manuscript of the Historical Records and all relevant information, as well as all the classics in the family. The so-called famous hidden mountain in historical records refers to this incident, but generally speaking, the Yang family absorbed the wisdom collected by the Sima family, the descendants of Zhuanxu's Tianguan family, and completely integrated it into the Yang family's family tradition. This is also the reason why the Yang family can smooth out the relationships between most aristocratic families. Chen Xi, who is now taking Jia Xu to the North Palace, naturally cannot think of the bad things that will happen next, but even if he knows, there is probably nothing he can do. A person who has learned the skill of slaying dragons, if he sees a dragon, how can he go up and practice it? Recruitment is a strange thing. At this time, Ji Xiang is like a warrior who has practiced the skill of slaying a dragon. Even Chen Xi can't stop him from verifying what he has learned. It should even be said that when Ji Xiang opens the book, what follows is doomed. As a result, it was God¡¯s blessing that it didn¡¯t get worse. "Are you going to the Wanlong Princess?" Jia Xu followed Chen Xi all the way to the Beigong. He didn't know where Chen Xi was going before, but after entering the Beigong, Jia Xu soon knew Chen Xi's destination. "You actually know Princess Wannian." Chen Xi said with a hint of surprise. "Chang'an, I'm more familiar with you." Jia Xu glanced at Chen Xi and said, "I've been visiting this place often for a while." "" Chen Xi raised his eyebrows, inexplicably hearing something with a story to it. He was a little curious, but Jia Xu didn't say anything further. "But combined with what I said before, although it is a bit ridiculous, it is also very reasonable to think about it this way. The Wanlong Princess is indeed very suitable for regent. This time is not suitable for anyone to take the position. It can indeed be said that the Eldest Princess is the regent. Come over." Jia Xu touched his chin and said. "You think it's good too?" Chen Xi raised an eyebrow and said. If Jia Xu can approve it, it means that this matter is very implementable. "That's good, but you need to consider other things." Jia Xu shook his head and said. "Politics, to put it bluntly, means compromise. Let's compromise with each other. Now this is the best plan." Chen Xi looked at Jia Xu and said. "It's not what you think, but Princess Wannian may not be willing to be the regent. Weiyang Huo has not appeared in front of us yet. She is in the inner palace. How can she not understand what happened? And based on my previous understanding of her, It's very likely that she won't," Jia Xu said with a shrug. "It feels like you are very familiar with her?" Chen Xi asked curiously. "Well, Tang Ji is her sister-in-law. I think you also understand the chaos in Luoyang at that time. Maybe the relationship between the two was not very good before. It was not easy to have a shelter at that time." Jia Xu sighed and said, " So she feels good to me. "The two chatted while talking, and soon they arrived at the courtyard of Princess Wannian in the North Palace. The door was closed. Jia Xu stepped forward and knocked on the door, and then stepped aside. After a long time, there was a person. The woman wearing mourning clothes with reddish eyes opened the courtyard door, looked at the two people at the door, bowed to Jia Xu and saluted, "I have met Jia Shangshu. " "Princess Wannian doesn't need to be polite. Jia Xu quickly returned the gift, "I am no longer a minister, this is Chen Sinong." "When Chen Xi heard this, he bowed and saluted the other party, and Princess Wannian returned the salute to Chen Xi. "I wonder why you two are here? "Princess Wannian obviously had no intention of letting Chen Xi and Jia Xu in, so she asked at the door. "Since the princess is dressed in mourning clothes, she probably already knows what happened in Weiyang Palace, and she also asked the princess to come forward to preside over the funeral arrangements. "Jia Xu sighed and said. "This matter should be handled by Zong Zhengzheng. A woman who is no more than one in ten thousand years can just sacrifice her younger brother in the courtyard, just like how she sacrificed her father and brother in the past. "Princess Wannian said calmly, but when she mentioned her father and brother, her eyes suddenly filled with tears. Jia Xu looked at Princess Wannian and felt helpless, "Actually, I am waiting here, in addition to hoping that the princess will host a meeting. Regarding the funeral matters, it was even more hoped that the princess would act as regent during this period of interregnum on the throne to avoid turmoil in the country. " Princess Wannian was shocked when she heard this, and then shook her head silently to express that she would not get involved. Then Jia Xu looked at Chen Xi. He had long known that it would be such a result. Anyone who has suffered for so many years will suffer a long time. Remember, Princess Wannian is not stupid. "I wonder what Her Highness is taboo about? "Chen Xi immediately stepped forward and asked. Princess Wannian didn't answer, and Chen Xi felt a little helpless. In this case, he had no choice but to press forward, "Since the princess acquiesces, we will announce the matter in three days. Currently, Chang'an Hundreds Most of the officials died in the chaos in Chang'an last night, so the princess will be regent by then. " Princess Wannian immediately felt a knot in her chest when she heard this, "Well, Chen Zichuan, you are not afraid of being stabbed in the back when you act like this. Are you a Hanchen? " "Oh, then you are the eldest princess? "Chen Xi asked calmly. "Hmph, you know that I am the eldest princess, but you still dare to treat me like this. Do you still have the Han Dynasty in your heart? "Princess Wannian scolded angrily. "As the elder sister of the late emperor, if the eldest princess doesn't take the rules of the Han Dynasty to heart, why should we ministers take it to heart? Chen Xi retorted unceremoniously, "If you, as the heirs, don't uphold the world of the Han Dynasty, why should we?" " "" Princess Wannian was silent, and after a while she said, "You just need a puppet, and you so blatantly ask the eldest princess to act as regent. Such an unscrupulous act, even if I agree, it will only be because of you. It's just manipulation, so why should I agree? The world of the Han Dynasty was already gone when my father passed away. " "To tell you the truth, I will not stop Liu Xuande from ascending the throne. I will not stop Liu Jiyu, Liu Bo'an and other elders from ascending the throne. But if they want to take legal documents from me, I'm sorry. Liu Tong is not so cheap! "Princess Wannian said with a sneer. Chen Xi looked at Princess Wannian in amazement. He didn't expect that there were so many rubbish princesses before the Han Dynasty. In the last generation, a character actually appeared. "I'm done, what else do you have? Want to say something? "Princess Wannian looked at Chen Xi with slight contempt and said, after her father, imperial brother, and imperial brother passed away one by one, Liu Tong inexplicably felt that her destiny was about to come to an end. "Oh, there is a lot to say. of. "Chen Xi touched his chin and said, "First of all, I would like to express my appreciation for your vision and character. If you were a prince, you would be better than your brothers without the things that happened later. " "The second is that your vision and temperament are bound by the environment you are in. Many of the things you analyze can only be said to be your guesses. If you don't see it yourself If so, I'm afraid you can only be blinded by yourself for the rest of your life. "Chen Xi looked at the other party calmly. "The third item is, I have said before that I will declare the eldest princess to be the regent. As for whether you agree or not, it doesn't actually matter. "Chen Xi said calmly, "So, Your Royal Highness, the core of your rebuttal was wrong from the beginning. You shouldn't have rebutted, you need more strength. " "Does Jia Shangshu also mean this? "Princess Wannian's chest was rising and falling with anger. After suppressing the anger in her heart, she looked at Jia Xu and said. "Actually, I think it is better for the princess to take this matter. In fact, whether the princess can be regent now is still a matter of two. He said that the two of us came to invite the princess to be the regent. In fact, it was just the result of a private discussion between the two of us. "Jia Xu hesitated for a moment and exposed Chen Xi's background. Chen Xi was unhappy.He glanced at Jia Xu. Princess Wannian took a deep look at Chen Xi and completely understood what Chen Xi meant by his last sentence, "You need strength." Just the result of two people's private discussion was enough to make her feel like she was facing a formidable enemy. It was enough to explain her current situation. Vulnerable. "That's it. This matter is indeed the result of the discussion between the two of us. It should even be said that I took the initiative and dragged Jia Wenhe over." Chen Xi looked at Princess Wannian calmly. She was no longer like before. Aggressive momentum. "Why did you choose me?" Princess Wannian looked at Chen Xi and asked. "Because no one else is suitable. As for what you said is legal or not, ask Emperor Guangwu if this is legal." Chen Xi said calmly, "The greater significance of inviting the princess to be regent is actually for balance. " "Balance?" Princess Wannian asked in confusion. "A lot of things have happened. The most important thing is that Duke Xuande has no interest in the throne, and we are strong enough to suppress everyone else." Chen Xi said solemnly while looking at Princess Wannian, who obviously didn't believe it. "What Zichuan said is true." Jia Xu took over the conversation and said to Princess Wannian. Wannian's face clearly changed after hearing this. "The current situation is a bit complicated. My lord does not want to damage the foundation of the Han Dynasty, so he will not have any thoughts about the throne until the world is unified. During this period of time, you can take charge of the affairs of the court and earn you some capital." Jia Xu Said to Princess Wannian. "Then what do I want to do?" Princess Wannian asked. "Stabilize people's hearts and accumulate capital for you in the future. You can't always stay in the palace." Jia Xu sighed and said, "You are already seventeen years old. How many years do you think you have? Rather than stay in the palace in Beijing The palace is crying for the emperor, so why not do something else?" Princess Wannian looked very ugly when she heard this. She is indeed not young now. "It's not like I'm asking you to ascend the throne, I'm just asking you to stand in front of the stage to stabilize people's hearts, and Wen He has already made it very clear about the benefits." Chen Xi said angrily. "What else can I do?" Princess Wannian asked, and Jia Xu was slightly stunned. "There are many things you can do. For example, you can restore the reputation of the royal family and give the royal family a positive reputation. If you can't wash away the debauchery of past princesses, you can wash yourself away. Although your position is the result of a compromise between various forces. But with this position and good operation, you can gain both fame and fortune, after all, you are the regent in name only," Chen Xi said calmly. "Is this so?" Princess Wannian lowered her head and thought silently. Chen Xi was inexplicably agitated, and letting Princess Wannian take over as regent was actually Chen Xi's preparation for the possible cabinet system a few hundred years from now. There are records of Princess Wannian's regency, so when reforms are necessary in the future, democracy will be implemented The difficulty will be greatly reduced. At least there will be laws to follow at that time. After all, no matter how the historians record, they will record how politics was governed in this era. This model of mutual compromise will inevitably leave a mark in the history books. When there is no choice, it will become a legacy. Standards that people follow. In this way, when the system changes in later generations, there will no longer be the inevitable pain caused by crossing the river by feeling for stones, and it can be regarded as leaving a way out for future generations. After all, no matter what, if there is a clear period of constitutional government in history, and the people's lives are pretty good during that period, then when future generations have to make changes, this system will smoothly enter that era. In the eyes of a wise man, this is another kind of mutual compromise. 8
