Although the rope is very loose, there are many capable people in the family, not to mention those like Xun Shuang who are not dead yet. As a resourceful person who is qualified to say that he has crossed more bridges than you have walked, if you look at
What does Chen Xi mean if he doesn't come out? That's hell.
It’s just that the problem at that time was no longer a question of seeing or not, but a question of acceptance or not. The family already owed Chen Xi a favor. As a typical example of short-handedness, it could only do so without touching the fundamental interests.
Let it go.
It's just that, any aristocratic family with a little foresight understands that if they don't dare to repay the favor, sooner or later those things will be stuck. If that day comes, although the aristocratic family is still a noble family, it is no longer possible to have private soldiers like it does now.
, armed.
Without private soldiers and weapons, the gap between aristocratic families and civilians has narrowed again. Without the power to dominate a region, how can aristocratic families maintain their standing?
A family does not have an aristocratic family if someone is an official, nor does it mean a family has a prominent ancestor.
To be honest, 90% of the Han people have the blood of Xuanyuan Huangdi. No one is nobler than the other when it comes to origin. The reason why an aristocratic family is an aristocratic family is, apart from birth, current wealth, and family origins. To put it bluntly, aristocratic families are from that region.
The true master.
Obviously, to put it another way, where they are rooted, they can be more thorough and efficient than the government, as long as they are willing to do it.
That level is enough to be called an aristocratic family, because that level is no longer something that can be achieved with money. It requires connections, power, and control over the people under governance. Even if the government wants to take action, it can even be carefully guarded.
can be informed in advance.
And if the private soldiers of the aristocratic family are controlled, then the strength will be greatly reduced. Although the connections, power, and control are still there, they will lose the power to compete with the officialdom.
Although there was originally one, and the official was really determined, they might not be able to survive the game, but after all, it is the ultimate means of self-protection. If it is gradually eliminated like this, even if the family has other things, but without the guarantee of force, how can they survive?
Stay unique in front of the people.
Therefore, the family knew very well that this favor could not be owed for a long time. If the debt continued to get bigger and bigger, it might really cost him his life to pay it off.
In order to avoid paying for this favor with his life in the future, the best choice for the family is to repay the favor as early as possible. The problem is that the favor Chen Xi gave to the family is too big.
It's so huge that it seems like it's not enough without any special means. If favors are really counted, they are much scarier than your so-called loan sharks, especially when the favors you owe are not from people of the same level as you.
This is also the biggest difference between Chen Xi's era and Guangwu's era. In Guangwu's era, Liu Xiu relied on the aristocratic family to take over the world, so he had to repay the kindness of the aristocratic family in the end. This was also the reason why there were many aristocratic families in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Normally speaking, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, as long as the aristocratic families in the world could truly join forces, the imperial power was far from an opponent, so normally, there would be no such thing as unfinished favors owed by the aristocratic families.
It can be said that from the time Liu Xiu returned the family's favor, the absolute strength of the family in the Northern and Southern Dynasties was destined. As for Chen Qun's nine-level Zhongzheng system, it can be said to have accelerated the birth of this situation, but it cannot be said to be the root cause.
However, the biggest difference between this era and normal times is that Chen Xi has turned the chessboard over and has not relied on the power of the aristocratic family, creating a foundation for Liu Bei to aspire to the top.
It can be said that from the moment Chen Xi invited Liu Bei to pass through Yingchuan, and the Yingchuan family and even the Yuzhou family closed their doors, it was destined that Liu Bei also closed the door of the Conglong family.
Although it was inevitable to still use the talents of the aristocratic family to govern the country due to various reasons, the essence was different. It was not that Liu Bei relied on the power of the aristocratic family to rise, but that the aristocratic family relied on Liu Bei's wings and sought refuge.
After that, Chen Xi seemed to have given a lot of benefits to the family regardless of previous suspicions, but one after another, the family began to besiege the family. But at that time, the family had to admit it. The rules of the game were like this, and even if some things were known to be poisonous, the family would still
Willing to swallow it.
Chen Xi kept feeding poisonous honey to the family. Although the family understood that there were various restrictions, they had to swallow it due to various circumstances.
This has led to the fact that these hidden dangers have penetrated deeper and deeper into the family's system with Chen Xi's decrees. These hidden dangers are accumulating and will be detonated sooner or later. However, now the family has profound skills and will
Hidden dangers are forcibly suppressed.
But this is not a solution after all. If Chen Xi does not continue to poison the family, the family will be able to eliminate these hidden dangers sooner or later, but how can Chen Xi allow them to easily solve their internal problems.
As for not taking Chen Xi's poisonous sugar pills, just look at those aristocratic families that did not bow to Chen Xi. Although they have taken Chen Xi's poisonous sugar pills now, in fact, compared with before, the number of aristocratic families following Chen Xi's steps is
It continues to grow, and it grows very fast.
Otherwise, some of the Jiangdong family, Jingyi family, and Yongliang family would not bow to Chen Xi, because the family under Liu Bei's rule is indeed growing, and it is growing much faster than the family under Cao Cao and Sun Ce. It's just that
Liu Bei grew stronger faster.
To put it simply, although the families under Cao Cao and Sun Ce are growing slowly, the ratio of their total strength to the total strength of Cao Cao and Sun Ce is slowly increasing.
As for Liu Bei, although the aristocratic family is growing much faster than that of Cao Cao and Sun Ce, the ratio of their total strength to Liu Bei's total strength is shrinking at a visible rate. To put it simply, the speed at which Chen Xi accumulates wealth
It's getting more and more exaggerated.
This also resulted in the fact that the influence the aristocratic family wanted could not be achieved at all. The highest position they could obtain was Xun Yue's current position. Inexplicably, the aristocratic family had understood that they had encountered the level that the poor family had encountered.
Invisible ceiling.
Every position above is a carrot or a pit, and the ministers under Liu Bei's rule are too young. They are young enough to easily kill two or even three generations of aristocratic family heads. The aristocratic family has no qualifications to compete with Liu Bei.
At the beginning, Duke Mu of Qin endured and endured, and after surviving five generations of Dukes of Jin, he successfully fought his way out of Guanzhong. This is enough to show how terrible a wise man can be when he has enough life.
The Jin State had such obvious advantages at the time, but after all, it was still impossible to be wise from generation to generation, not to mention that the situation is completely reversed now. Liu Bei, who is as powerful as the Jin State, has the resourcefulness to kill two or three generations of aristocratic family heads.
If all major aristocratic families have monsters like Zhuge Liang, Xun Shuang, and Xun Yu from generation to generation, then it actually doesn't matter. Just sit back and watch the clouds roll and relax, but the question is how is it possible?
If there is Chen Qun in a few generations, the ancestral graves will be smoking. What's more, unless the ancestral graves are smoking for two consecutive generations, otherwise, people like Chen Xi will definitely be tied up by the rope. Therefore, after understanding the situation
After that, the family had only two choices left.
One is the opposite, but the problem is that now all the major families who follow Chen Xi and support Chen Xi as the flag bearer of the family understand that Chen Xi may lead them to create a prosperous age!
Although the proportion of their aristocratic family in this prosperous age is not as good as before, it is very likely that the actual power of the aristocratic family will reach a certain peak. If it is reversed now, they may never have the opportunity to glimpse that kind of power.
There are many families who want to have a glimpse of that kind of prosperity. They may have various resentments, but they really want to see how the family that has grown and expanded to a certain limit can grow under Chen Xi's guidance.
To what extent.
At least I am lucky enough to follow the flag bearer and go to a certain extreme. Even if it disappears in the end, I can still leave a path to prosperity for my tribe. As for whether I can keep a trace of incense and wait for decades to rise again,
These aristocratic families are still confident.
After all, even if you have to surrender in the end, it does not mean that the family is ruined. In this case, why not try to leave a path to great prosperity for future generations. After all, the path of the aristocratic family seems to have been exhausted in this generation.
Otherwise, the class-solidified Nine-Rank Zhongzheng method and the complementary method of absorbing outsiders to complement one's own thoughts would not have been born. Since we have reached this point and someone has already walked out of the broad road, why not try to continue on the road?
As for possible hidden dangers, even if we are defeated, the people we kneel down will not be poor families or common people. The one we lose in the end will still be one of us, but our skills are not as good as others. Once again, we are like three thousand years ago.
Just kneeling at Gui's feet like that.
Losing to someone of the same level is far more acceptable than losing to a nouveau riche. The families that can become the heads of wealthy families in this era basically have their names engraved in the history. They all have enough confidence, even if they are
In the end, there will be no resistance, and there will be a decent ending. In this case, the family is willing to continue to trade with Chen Xi in accordance with the rules.
This is the so-called second option, which is also the so-called, make every effort to achieve your goals. If there is still no way to avoid failure in the end, then please remember all my experiences today. If there is a future,
Please use my failure today to move towards success.
This is also the so-called hibernation. Since there is no immortal dynasty, so what about ten generations of hibernation? One day they will return, bringing with them the failure experience accumulated by their predecessors and move towards success. The thousand-year dynasty has never been seen.
But the millennium-old family has been in this era almost one after another, and they have enough experience to survive any catastrophic era.
But that is basically a kind of psychological preparation. If they can make peace with Chen Xi, the family will not be willing to admit defeat and let Chen Xi tie the condom on them.
And I have to admit that the world's aristocratic family is very lucky. If the family can earn enough merits in the Han-Hungarian War, not to mention all the favors, at least the remaining favors can be made up by the exchange of interests.
No need to risk your life, just spend hundreds of years dormant to pay for it.
As for forcing Chen Xi to turn over the table and not play according to the rules he set, if he could actually do that, even if the family won, at least the historian would have recorded it truthfully, and Chen Xi would have lost control of the family.
.
Those who do not follow the rules will be boycotted by the collective. To be honest, Chen Xi does not need to smash his amulet. Although this amulet is not the most important amulet, Chen Xi usually does not break his promises without serious reasons.
of.
Therefore, if the aristocratic family can really offset Chen Xi's favor according to the rules, then Chen Xi will definitely not come back. But having said that, there is really no possibility that the aristocratic family can exchange the favor while abiding by the rules.
Because Chen Xi had already experimented with fiefdoms when building the canal before. Although it was only a fiefdom of seventy miles, and it was still north of the Hetao, in order to get that place, the family still built the entire canal in just a few months, and
The excavation method, the manpower consumed, and the time spent were calculated.
It can be seen that fiefdoms are still absolutely attractive to aristocratic families. With this, Chen Xi is absolutely sure to handle the fertile land and pastures in Central Asia and even Anxi.
This also means that it is impossible to repay the favor. The family can only continue to move forward according to the rules set by Chen Xi. Judicial power and governing power are destined that once there is a chance, the family will not be able to inherit the family system on the basis of maintaining the family system.
given up.
However, when the Northern Xiongnu went south, the current aristocratic families actually believed that destiny was behind the aristocratic family. As long as they achieved the final merit in this battle, they might return most of their favors. In this case, Yuan Tan took away
The hope of 50% of the world’s aristocratic families!
Not to mention that the current Yuan family is no longer the Yuan family that aspired to dominate the world. Even if it is still the Yuan family that relied on the aristocratic family at that time, doing so will cause violent turmoil. If it is done like this now, the Yuan family simply cannot afford it.
Backlash.
Standing on the opposite side of half of the world's aristocratic families, the important thing is that the remaining half of the aristocratic families are not standing behind him. This situation is a dead end for the Yuan family.
However, the chess game has reached this point, and Jia Xu has paid the deposit in advance. If Yuan Tan does not continue as required, but instead gives his merits to the Yu family to repay Chen Xi's favor, he will certainly get the family's favor.
Good impression.
But for the Yuan family, what is the meaning of the goodwill of other aristocratic families? What's more, to put it bluntly, wouldn't doing this kind of thing mean that you are succumbing to Liu Bei's hands? Fighting the Northern Huns under Jicheng made Liu Bei not take action against the Yuan family, and now this kind of thing
Do you think that your life is too long and you don't want to live anymore?
So at this point, Yuan Tan actually has only one way left, which is to follow Jia Xu's arrangement and end the hope of the world's aristocratic families. The Yuan family will extirpate itself from the aristocratic family and completely become an ordinary wealthy family, no longer able to cheer up in the first place.
, the momentum of the world’s response.
As for other paths, they are all looking for death, and the so-called renunciation of the world's aristocratic family will bring a lot of trouble to Yuan Tan. In fact, it is no longer important.
The moment Jia Xu spread the world in front of Xun Chen and Xu You, their eyes lit up and their blood boiled as they listened to Jia Xu's description. It was already destined that they would never look back when they woke up.
