Although Bao Tingbo couldn't feel the cold outside, the coldness in his heart couldn't be compared to the mere cold wind.
¡°The Supreme Way¡ The Supreme Way¡ Alas¡¡±
Bao Tingbo suddenly stood up and sighed.
He then held up the letter written by Mengxian from Taishangdao, and said softly: "Brother Meng! It's not that I don't help you, it's just that this letter came too late!!!"
After saying that, there was a wry smile on the corner of his mouth.
The aristocratic families were secretly involved with the Taoist sect. Bao Tingbo, as the head of a wealthy family and the supreme Duke of Jingguo, also had some personal relations with the real Mengxian.
????????????????? But the relationship is only general, and it¡¯s not worth it to offend a person who is expected to separate Wuzhou and become the king of the establishment.
After all, the foundation of the Bao family is in Wuzhou!
¡°If before, Wu Nan¡¯s people¡¯s hearts were not stable and Taishangdao was willing to spend money, then Bao Tingbo would also take a chance!
Most aristocratic families strictly abide by the ancestral precepts. Unless they really have the hope of the world, they will never directly intervene in the fight for the dragon!
They mostly support agents and act as chess players behind the scenes.
This does not mean that there is no ambition, but fighting for the dragon in the world is extremely dangerous. If you protect yourself wisely, have a well-established family, rely on the legacy of your ancestors, and have deep roots and reputation, no matter which Taizu ascends to the throne, he will not risk political instability. The danger is that Chang Feng will attack them.
But once you directly compete for hegemony in the world, the war is fierce and dangerous, a lot of energy is consumed, and you directly bear the grievances of the people, no matter how much prestige and popular support you have accumulated before, it will soon be exhausted. If it cannot be replenished in time, it will be very dangerous if the army is defeated. The opponent will never let go of the family behind him.
By then, the nine clans will be linked together, and even if some of the hidden bloodlines can be passed on, they will have to live with their heads down. If they want to restore the glory of their ancestors, it will be the year of the monkey and the moon of the horse.
This is also a matter of responsibility. A wealthy family does not have the courage and courage. A huge gamble that puts the entire family in the world!
Even individual family heads have ambitions. It will also be boycotted by the clan very quickly.
"Compared to the throne of one person, it is the blessing of the family, the blessings are wider, and the people in the clan are not fools. You know how to choose.
All major families. Everyone can see this, and in the secret genealogy, it is clearly recorded that if you are only ten generations old, you will not become a great weapon, and you will not be able to compete for the dragon!
Bao Tingbo naturally did not dare to risk his own rights to satisfy his own selfish desires.
I just followed the rules and picked a few candidates. Be prepared to place your bet depending on the situation.
This is the confidence of a powerful family! As long as they don't express their stance clearly, then all forces in Wuzhou will take action. They didn't dare to force them until they occupied the entire Wu State.
Bao Tingbo picked up Wu Nan¡¯s secret report again and looked at it carefully. After a long time, he sighed: ¡°Thousands of hectares of farmland have been opened, and the yield per mu has increased by half. This son is really blessed by God¡±
"Earlier, Baiyunguan had hinted that Qianlong was Li Rubi, the son of the Li family, but now it seems that he is far inferior to Song Yu!"
Thinking of Li Rubi, Bao Tingbo sighed again.
As a tycoon with a thousand-year heritage, he naturally understands the theory of hidden dragons.
Even during the previous dynasty changes, the Bao family had secretly funded several hidden dragons, hoping to use them to improve themselves, but in the end they all missed a move.
Baiyun Temple is a local Taoist sect in Wuzhou. When troubled times come, it and the Bao family have a sense of helping each other.
Bao Tingbo got the news about Qianlong from Baiyunguan. He originally had high expectations for Li Rubi. The clan had prepared a legitimate daughter. He waited for Li Rubi to unify Wu Nan and discussed the marriage. However, God's will played a trick and Li Rubi was already dead before his great cause was accomplished. Fortunately, the marriage has not really been brought up yet, otherwise, the Bao family would be embarrassed.
Bao Tingbo is scheming and has second-hand preparations, as well as other candidates.
Huo Li, Zhao Pan, etc. are among them!
"It's a pity Huo Li, I have been invited to small gatherings several times, and I wanted to invite Taoist Qingxu. I saw a promising future, but every time I declined, I seemed to find something"
When Bao Tingbo thought of Huo Li, a middle-aged man with a wolf-like eagle eye appeared in his mind.
This Huo Li is also a candidate, but he comes from a humble background. In Bao Tingbo's heart, his ranking is relatively low.
"Song YuSong Yu"
Bao Tingbo chewed on this name, feeling a little dissatisfied and worried about the sudden rise of power.
He presides over the destiny of a wealthy family and only wants to be safe. He is instinctively disgusted with the sudden changes.
Before Wu Nan fell and Song Yu had a firm foothold, it would be great if Taishangdao came to join hands with him to attack Song Yu and eliminate the signs of hidden dangers.
But now, tooGot it! ! !
The more the mountains were pacified, the more tens of thousands of soldiers were added, the people were favored by heaven, and the Qinglong was dangerous. Even if the Bao family had dominated Wuzhou for thousands of years, they would still be a little wary of Song Yu.
What's more, if the Bao family wants to protect themselves in Wuzhou, how can they offend Song Yu, who has the best chance of winning the entire Wuzhou, for no reason?
"The timing is so coincidental. Could it be that Song Yu really has destiny?"
No matter how discerning and knowledgeable Bao Tingbo is, he is still an ancient man. Under the influence of concepts, his thoughts have changed somewhat.
"That's all let's wait and see"
Bao Tingbo sighed and sat down slowly.
Song Yu has stabilized his rule and will be able to move forward. In the first battle, the strength of both sides can be seen. If Song Yu is really a hidden dragon and has the hope of the King of Wu, it will not be too late to join him when the time comes
If you are a big player in other counties, you should stand in line in advance to avoid liquidation.
But the Bao family is different. Whether it is the reputation in Wuzhou or even the world, or the hidden power, it is destined that no matter who rules Wuzhou, as long as they do not cross the line, they will only be appeased.
No matter what the outside world is like, everyone in Qinglong Pass and Wunan territory is shocked by the news!
In the streets and alleys, in teahouses and restaurants, there are many pedestrians and drinkers, lowering their heads and whispering, with uncertain faces.
What he said was almost the same thing: "Have you heard? Song Yu, Song Jiedushi, is about to greet you!!!"
Although the rule of Daqian is weak, it has been around for hundreds of years and is deeply rooted. In every dynasty, many people with lofty ideals will come out during the revolution. This is the last destiny of the last dynasty, and Daqian naturally has it.
A scholar dressed as a scholar stood up and said, "This Song Yu has ignored the emperor's favor, but has overstepped his position and attempted to separatist rule! It is really hateful! If it hadn't been for me"
"Hush! Silence!" Before the scholar could finish speaking, he was pulled down by his companions.
"Are you willing to die? Be careful if Jin Yiwei listens to it. Not only will you be in big trouble, but your family will also be in trouble"
The scholar's face turned red, but he didn't know what he thought of. He sat down angrily and just drank.
"Shopkeeper, come to the altar again!"
"Okay!!" The shopkeeper felt angry in his heart when he saw that the scholar no longer talked about this matter.
When the scholar spoke just now, the shopkeeper was thinking about the city god¡¯s blessing! These uncles talk freely, but don't bring trouble to yourself!
Now that I see the scholar shut up and stop talking about this matter, I am really happy, even if I don¡¯t have to pay for this table of drinks, I am willing to do it!
He quickly sent the waiter away and put two jars of good wine on the scholar¡¯s ??table. This time, he secretly ordered that the wine be served pure wine.
As soon as the scholar opened the mud seal, the aroma of wine hit his nostrils, and he couldn't help but praise: "Good wine!"
He and his companions drank from their bowls, but they had a tacit understanding and didn't mention what happened just now.
After such a long time, the reputation of Jinyiwei has been established. Chen Yun, with a group of all-pervasive men, has actually solved several major cases and robbed three aristocratic families. In Wu Nan, his reputation has reached a point where he can stop being a child. To the point of crying!
Although Song Yu only gave Jin Yiwei the power to secretly spy on intelligence, if he wanted to exercise the power of arrest and trial, Song Yu's warrant was still needed.
But even so, this monster who strengthened the imperial power and was outside the system of civil and military officials was still resisted by Song Yu's men.
Chen Yun was unafraid and a bit unfazed. He just covered his head and worked for Song Yu, but he became more and more valued.
Song Yu would also be happy to do this. Otherwise, what would a spy chief do if he was so close to his subordinates? Would he want to rebel?
At this time, in the Jiedushi Mansion, in front of his subordinates, Chen Yun, who was deep and unpredictable, was as well-behaved as an obedient puppy, reporting to Song Yu.
"My lord! Ever since the news was released that my lord will be called the Marquis of Wu, there has been some commotion all over southern Wu!"
"There is still some madness. In public, he directly insults the lord. His humble position has recorded his place of origin Do you think?"
Chen Yun said and handed over a document.
Song Yu took it, turned it over and threw it directly on the table. It makes a "pop" sound.
Although the voice was small, it was like thunder in Chen Yun's ears!
There was some cold sweat on my forehead.
"It is reasonable to say that the great work has been raising scholars for hundreds of years"
Song Yu didn¡¯t care about these.
Since you are leaving the imperial court, it is common sense to suffer some backlash.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????"Compared to before, it was still 30%, which is almost the same as the popularity brought about by the increase in production.
This shows that most of the common people and even aristocratic families in Wu Nan still hold a positive attitude towards Song Yu's rule, and at least they will not blatantly resist. With this start, it is very good.
After waiting, the monarch's name was set, and he would gradually get used to it.
As for these crazy things, you can¡¯t let them go too far.
Song Yu just thought for a moment and said: "Now, if there is no clear evidence of these crazy things, don't pay attention to them!"
This means that if it¡¯s just words, then don¡¯t worry about it, but if there are actual actions, don¡¯t be lenient when it comes to killing people and ransacking homes!
"After arriving in this town and officially proclaiming yourself a Marquis, if you use such words again, you will be prosecuted for disrespect!"
"No!" Chen Yun kowtowed, expressing his understanding.
"Okay! Go down! Call the counselors and chief officials to come in!" Song Yu ordered.
"My subordinates, please retire!" Chen Yun walked backwards.
Ever since he knew that his lord was going to be called Marquis of Wu, Chen Yun's heart was filled with enthusiasm. As his lord made progress, his status naturally increased. However, he behaved more cautiously on the outside. Every move he made now was made with caution
