Qu Ting said: "Everyone is well aware of this level of struggle, but on the surface, no one shows it..."
"The imperial court is worried that the three major families will work together to create ruling pressure on the temple. It is worried that their power will become stronger and stronger, and they will not lose their power and influence the master. They always have to find ways to check and balance them...at least to ensure a certain balance."
"But what about the three major families? How could they not understand the truth? The art of balance has existed since ancient times. Naturally, they know the court's thoughts very well, and they are also worried that one day the Sword of Damocles will fall on
head, so we must do our best to consolidate our strength to ensure that we will not be killed "unnecessarily", and at the same time ensure that the court cannot find any evidence and will not be wiped out in the "name of justice"... Between them, they fight openly and secretly, saying that they
Every day is a tightrope walk, no exaggeration at all..."
"yes."
Su Che sighed: "This kind of life is really tiring. It's a pity that people are in the world and can't help themselves."
Qu Ting said: "How intelligent the current sage is, but at the age of more than 30 years, he has already shown his strategy, which is known all over the world. Looking at Yanhuang, you can see all the great rivers and mountains, and more than 30 princes are all under his control.
With this thing in his hands, if it is accomplished, it will be accomplished. If it is not accomplished, he will not take it to heart."
"Speaking of intelligence and mastery..."
Su Che said: "If I faked my death and went to Jiangnan, pretended to be stupid and hunkered down in Jinling, then founded the Jiuzhou Group, and then returned to Yanjing to destroy the Shi family under the guise of being the son-in-law of the Qu family, these things would be of great concern to the current emperor."
If you know it well...why hasn't he summoned me to the palace to see the saint to this day?"
"Then I don't know... It has been said that the current Saint is extremely intelligent. How can we understand his thoughts?"
"Maybe he had the intention to cultivate you and make you a sword to balance the three major families, but in the end he failed to do so, so he must have some resentment in his heart..."
"He has grievances... I still have grievances."
Su Che sneered: "I have no idea at all. Everyone wants to use me as a spearman. Why don't you ask me if I agree?"
Qu Ting's eyes widened: "Brother Su, your idea is too dangerous..."
"Really? How do you say it?"
"Throughout the ages, even if you are a talented general, has anyone ever been able to fight with a body of ninety-five? No matter how much you complain in your heart, you must be careful in your words and deeds. Think about it, what happened to the great general Grandpa Yue?
Think about the fate of Han Xin and others in the history books again."
Su Che said nothing, just smiled calmly.
Qu Ting said: "Tonight the historian is dead. After tonight, the situation in Yanjing will change a lot...Tomorrow, it is certain that the capital will be shaken."
"So I think that after the dust settles on this matter, the Holy One will find a suitable opportunity to summon you to the palace. When you see the Holy One, you can ask him what he sent to give you quickly.
What is it? By then, all problems will be solved..."
"Well, let's wait for a while. I don't think the Holy One will just let me wait like this..."
Su Che guessed: "Before, even if he knew that I was in Jiangnan and Jinling, he also knew that I was back to Yanjing, but after all, this was done quietly. Even if he knew, he had to pretend not to know and wait and see what happens. But this time
Once the Shi family is wiped out, the whole capital will know that I am back, and it will be unreasonable for him not to take the initiative to summon me into the palace."
"That's right!" Qu Ting nodded: "So, just keep it in your heart. Until all these things are resolved, let's make peace with it. There are a lot of delicious food in Yanjing. I will accompany you in the next few days.
Have a good walk around..."
"Okay." Su Che sneered: "I'm afraid you don't have much time... There are many businesses of the Shi family, the Qu family must seize the time to take over! Both sides have to take care of the foreign affairs and An Nei. There are many things that depend on Uncle Wen.
Not even one person can do it."
Qu Ting stared seriously: "Time is like water in a sponge, there will always be time if you squeeze it."
"Um……"
The two of them chatted about each other.
Su Che raised his hand and looked at his palm prints.
"Speaking of which, I would also like to thank Shi Jia for pressing forward step by step. Now, my realm is already at the late stage of Taoism!"
only……
In matters of realm, the higher and further Su Che goes, the more Su Che realizes how weak his strength is and how insignificant he is to the world!
For example, when I was about to die today, I saw the woman dressed in white in the snowy world before the gate of hell. Who was she?
What is the secret behind the half jade pendant on my body that is related to my life experience?
etc……
If you want to understand these problems, you must rely on a stronger and deeper realm of strength!
"call……"
Su Che took a deep breath and held his breath.
In Qi Hai Dantian, power surged.
While he was able, he began to breathe in and out, sweeping away all his strength and fatigue.
Make the foundation as solid as possible.
Qu Ting, on the other hand, has been constantly stressed these past few days and has not had a good rest for a long time. She fell asleep unconsciously while chatting.
Su Che carefully covered her with the quilt, then sat down next to her and continued to meditate in silence.
The next day.
As soon as it dawned, the whole Yanjing, as expected, started to shake!
In fact, the upper class in Yanjing have been having sleepless nights since last night!
The three established aristocratic families, headed by the Zhao family, Zhao Tianying, Lu Qingyun of the Lu family, and Hu Zuozai of the Hu family, all crawled out of bed at three o'clock in the morning and gathered at the Zhao family for a short meeting!
Among the three major aristocratic families, Zhao Tianying, the head of the Zhao family, is the strongest in terms of strength, foundation, masters under his command, business network, and influence at home and abroad!
Among them, the truly powerful one is undoubtedly the Zhao family’s foundation!
The founder of the Zhao family was named Zhao Feixia. About one or two hundred years ago, when the Qing court established the "Shanpu Camp", the top leader was named Lu Siying. He was ruthless and worked for the imperial power. He was decisive in killing and killed first and then reported.
power!
At that time, Lu Siying had a capable general named Zhao Feixia! He could be regarded as the second-in-command of Shanpu Camp. When Lu Siying did not show up, he could fully represent Lu Siying!
Later, Lu Siying died unexpectedly in Shanpu Camp, and Zhao Feixia became the commander of Shanpu Camp! Later, when the Qing Dynasty fell, Shanpu Camp naturally fell and dispersed.
However, over the years of being in charge of Shanpu Camp, Zhao Feixia's personal reputation and power, whether famous or despotic, have grown stronger and stronger!
So even if Shanpu Camp disappeared later, it was not a bad thing for him, but a good thing. He saw the opportunity and quickly established the clan. From then on, it became known as the "Zhao Family"!
It has been inherited for hundreds of years and has remained standing. To this day, it is the head of the great family in Yanjing!
Although the Lu family and the Hu family are not as profound as Zhao Tianying's ancestors, their origins can be traced back to the early twentieth century...
In that era of war and warlord separatism, they chose to stand on the right path... and they were always able to stand back on the right side before the situation changed suddenly, and they stood on the right side every time!!
Since then, it has skyrocketed!
Hu Zuozai's ancestors were engaged in the cloth business in the Shili Yangchang Fireworks Field. The famous "Lianshan Sand Factory" had shares of the Hu family.
Lu Qingyun, the Lu family, dominated the hinterland of central and northern China in the early years, engaged in pharmaceutical business, and had a close relationship with a certain warlord named "Lu" in the early years.
…
Tonight, at this moment, the three families are gathered together!
It was said to be a short meeting, but it started at about three o'clock in the morning and continued until seven or eight o'clock in the morning!
I even had breakfast at Zhao’s house!
Lu Qingyun said: "This is too unbelievable! Even I always thought that Su Che, the unparalleled national scholar, had died in that fire from the sky! Unexpectedly, he turned around and came back now!!"
"Yeah... What's unexpected is that not only is he still alive, but he returned to Yanjing, and in just over half a month, he became a blockbuster! The historians were actually massacred overnight! How terrifying this is, when I first heard the news
, I thought it was a dream..."
"Who says it's not..."
Hu Zuozai shook his head helplessly: "Now the Qu family is awesome! The three big and small aristocratic families are directly connected, which is equivalent to three into one! The Shi family was swallowed up by the Qu family, and the Yuchi family has a strong dependence on the Qu family... In addition,
The daughter of the Yuchi family is now the favorite concubine of the palace. It seems that the day when the Qu family and our three major families will be on equal footing is not far away..."
"This is not the most important thing..."
Zhao Tianying finally said: "The key is, how big is the appetite of the Qu family? Will it stop here? Now that they have merged into one and become a big family, they can only rank fourth. Will they be willing to do this?! The lips are dead and the teeth are cold.
Ah! Maybe the next target will be us, which is the real reason why I pulled you all out of the hot bed in the middle of the night..."
