Chapter 39: Politics is the Art of Compromise

He walked around the military defense zone of the Northern Prefecture Army, which opened his eyes to Yu Yuangui and the two princesses.

The military status of the Northern Prefecture Army can be described in one sentence as a "high-tech extensive model".

For example, the meat grinder used to harvest puppets has a very complex internal structure. It uses a large number of unique techniques from the Yangzhai Chu family, which makes the Longxiang Army imitate it but cannot be made.

With so many advanced mechanical materials and technologies stacking, it turned out to be a simple and crude grinder. Yu Yuangui felt a little depressed. Is it not good to build a self-operated drone? Build a meat grinder, earthy

It's going to die.

For example, the flight suit is a normal idea for the scout to go deep into the Central Plains to investigate the enemy situation. After all, the enemy-occupied area is too dangerous, and encountering a brigade of puppets on the surface will lead to a disaster.

As a result, the Beifu military used a flying suit net and regularly cruised and served as a patrol team in the northern part of Jingkou. This was not impossible to use, but it was too extravagant. It was considered that the abilities of the Cheng and Xing clans were used as ordinary soldiers.

If it were the commanders of the Longxiang Army, Shenwu Army, Yulin Army, etc., who were here, they would not be so luxurious. Otherwise, the supernatural family would have rioted long ago, and even if the people from the five surnames were here, it would be the same.

Wang Maohong couldn't afford to give enough benefits, so he let so many aristocratic families serve him for free.

But Cheng Jinyang can do this, according to Yu Yuangui, there are three reasons:

1. He has the bloodline of a supernatural family, and his own camp is considered to be his own.

2. His potential strength has reached the first grade and has sufficient investment potential. The five surnames do not need him to repay immediately.

3. He is both affectionate and not promiscuous. The young lady from five families can marry him and quickly establish a trust relationship.

These three points are indispensable, so the emergence of Cheng Jinyang is a special case that is difficult to see in a century and is a rare one.

Yu Yuangui was moved, but he had no other thoughts now. He just wanted to marry Princess Nankang out quickly, so as not to make more and more bets on him from the back of the five surnames, and to do his best to turn against the royal family.

In this way, it seems that before Su Zigao rebelled, he once called him to Taicheng, and he really wanted to find him as his son-in-law.

At that time, he had not been bet by so many aristocratic families! Why didn’t he persist? He had to do something with him to "make achievements and exchange for the prince-consort"? It was a mistake!

Really regretful.

After the inspection of the military camp, just like Xi Daohui's last visit, the next time was a banquet to talk about his feelings.

The father-in-law who visited the temporary residence in the clan came out to toast Yu Yuangui at the banquet. The latter's face turned red, but his expression was not that good-looking.

There are too many competitors, how can Yu Yuangui feel at ease?

Empress Dowager Yu thought that as long as the emperor ordered, those aristocratic families would obediently give up their position as their wife, which was simply delusional.

Look at Jingkou Town! People are investing a lot of money in their son-in-law at all costs, and will you pick the peaches with one order?

Hey, wait, there is only one wife, so how do you divide these aristocratic families?

Yu Yuangui lowered his head and drank tea, pretended to quit, and observed the expressions of these guests calmly.

Strangely, they can't see that they are hostile to each other when they talk to each other, their expressions or eyes.

Another round of toast, Yu Yuangui felt something was wrong, and he seemed to be targeted by these people.

Toast me in the wheel battle. This is!

After drinking for a while, he pretended to be unable to drink and accused everyone of the crime in advance for a while.

After waking up after drinking tea next to him for a while, Yu Yuangui became a little more awake. He walked to the banquet hall and suddenly heard a voice from the wing room next to him:

"The prince means that Yu Yuangui is not good at coming this time, and he obviously wants to ask the emperor's will to suppress people..."

Yu Yuangui was suddenly frightened. Isn’t this the voice of Cui Congyan, the leader of the Cui clan?

"Even if the emperor issued an order, he wouldn't pick peaches so roughly. Do you really think that the Yu family has the final say in the world?"

This time, it was the voice of Lu Jiru, the elder of the four tribes of the Lu family, and also Lu Qingyun's father.

The Cui Lu family has always advanced and retreated together, and Yu Yuangui is not surprised by this. He just heard what they said, it seems that Wang Maohong was borrowing him to integrate the five surnames' families.

Yu Yuangui sneered in his heart and continued to listen to the conversation inside.

"The Wang family in Taiyuan is not malicious either. If Yu had not intervened, the position of his wife would probably have fallen on Wang Wanrou."

"It's just that since Princess Nankang ended, the Wang family in Taiyuan was not sure, so they had to communicate with us. What they said, "No wife is available for the time being" is actually just a delaying strategy."

"It's true, but Brother Yan, if Yu Yuangui really wants to force Princess Nankang, then we can only join forces to tear him apart. Wang Gongzheng expected this and suggested that everyone would not steal their wife and wait until they got married.

It depends on the skills of the daughters."

"This is an open conspiracy. Even if you see through his intentions, you have to follow his plan. Everyone competes equally after they pass the door. Why should the eldest princess set her status before she comes? Now

It’s not an era of strong imperial power!”

"If we have to follow the rules, then we will follow the rules. After all, it is not good for both parties to break up. It's just that you and I understand Yu Yuangui, this person has always been arrogant and arrogant. He probably respects his identity as a relative of the foreign country and will not give us five surnames to our family.

Face. In this way, you can only unite with the prince..."

Yu Yuangui became more and more shocked when he heard it. It turned out that he had not made any statement yet. The five families of the surnames had already determined that he was going to be overwhelmed and planned to join forces to fight him!

To be honest, if there was only the Wang family in Taiyuan, Yu Yuangui would dare to compete with Wang Maohong with the support of Empress Dowager Yu.

However, even Empress Dowager Yu would be frightened, and the storm of the crowd was not just a joke.

If the aristocratic family has become a fact, then Princess Nankang's marriage will not be the marriage for His Highness. It will have to withstand the wave of condemnation from all the gentry, which will have a great impact on the reputation of the royal family, and the royal family will not allow Yu family.

Behave like this unscrupulously.

Fortunately, now, the Cui Lu family’s intentions are competing within themselves, so they don’t really get together intimately.

After all, there is only one wife, and everyone is a competitor. It is their limit to being able to unite to attack the person with the greatest advantage...

Thinking of this, Yu Yuangui was a little upset.

If the five surnames really come together, he won’t have to bother. He will directly explain his relationship with Nankang and give up.

However, the reality is that the aristocratic family is also intrigue.

If they show strongness, they will be forced to resist in groups, which will pose a huge threat to the imperial power and the situation must not develop to this extent.

But as long as they are a little gentler, they will immediately be wary of each other.

In this way, if the Empress Dowager and Nan Kang give up this marriage, there will be some lack of arguments and it will be difficult to convince people.

Moreover, after all, he is a first-class prince consort. If he rashly gives up marriage with him, he will regret it in the future...

Thinking of this, Yu Yuangui got a headache and thought, could I have to give up the title before marriage like them, and let the eldest princess compete fairly with them after they passed by?

But she is the eldest princess after all!

Forget it, let’s ask Nankang what he means first.
