Summon the Big Boss

Chapter 716 Situation

It's late and windy.

The First Prince is located in the Green Willow Manor in the south of the city, and at this time it was allocated to Lin Xi as his temporary residence.

And Lin Xi was not idle either.

In addition to continuing to write books, I will also read some summaries of various forces sent by the First Prince.

There may be discrepancies, but in general, there will be no mistakes or omissions.

After reading it, Lin Xi had a more intuitive and clear understanding of Daxia Chaotang.

The situation of Xia Guochaotang, in detail, is indeed complicated.All kinds of honorable, civil and military factions, factions, township parties, same years, teachers and students, fellow disciples, and other factions of different sizes filled the entire Great Xia Dynasty Hall, weaving a huge net with each other, covering the entire Xia Kingdom.

As the royal capital of the Xia Kingdom, the layout of Kyoto is even more complicated.

It is even possible for a casual official of the seventh or eighth rank to stand behind a big man in the court, holding a lot of power.

Of course, the more complicated things are, the more we need to look at them from a simple perspective.

Delete those messy things that cover people's eyes, inside and outside the court, Xia Guo, there is nothing more than conservative and reform, two big systems are competing.

This kind of competition is everywhere.

Even among the people, there were many discussions, and the common people were unintentionally divided into two factions.

Even those like the Eight Kings who have never stood in line, in fact, can be included in the ranks of conservatives.

Because standing still, for those radical reformers, is conservative.

However, for the first prince, the reformers are not necessarily allies.

Because among them, quite a few are extremely radical.

Most of these people were born in the middle and lower classes. Because of the Xia Kingdom's external expansion, they quickly made a fortune. They often have strong influence overseas, and they also have a lot of reliance on them in the country.

To a certain extent, the Xiahou family... can almost be included in this category.

Before the Xia Kingdom opened the sea ban, embarked on a great voyage, and explored the whole world, the Xiahou family was just a small family in Binhai Province, and it was not ranked well in Xia Kingdom.

This group of guys who have suddenly grasped the power and gained the right to speak are extremely eager to have greater and more rights.

What they think is even subversive.Compared with those aristocratic families who have lived in temples in the country for a long time and were trapped by the thoughts of monarchs and ministers, they have seen a wilder and more open world.

Monarchs and ministers, ethics, and principles are already extremely fragile in their eyes.

More interests and greater rights are their real demands.

In order to obtain these, they even ignited earth-shaking flames.

But what the eldest prince wants is the supreme right, and the entire era promoted by him will be more prosperous and prosperous.

Therefore, the eldest prince and the most radical reformers are not all the same.Fundamentally speaking, they are also competitors.

"Looking at it this way, the eldest prince actually has very few alliances. This is a shortcoming, but of course it can also be an advantage. As for the fact that he can occupy a seemingly active situation right now, he is actually being used by others."

"Someone wants to throw stones to ask for directions." Lin Xi is so old, and he just came to the imperial capital not long ago, so he took advantage of the little bit of power shared by the eldest prince, and gradually peeled off the cocoon, grasping the core contradiction at this time.

"Does the First Prince know?" Lin Xi thought again.

Then he shook his head, based on what he knew about the First Prince, he couldn't find out.

Although the First Prince was not considered to be ambitious and talented, he was more than ruthless but not alert enough.

From the fact that he encouraged Xia Houjie to assassinate his brother in order to gain the support of Xiahou's family, it can be seen that... although the eldest prince is unscrupulous, he still lacks some real great wisdom, and is just good at playing tricks.

If such a guy really became the emperor, he would be mean and ungrateful, and it would be extremely easy to cause domestic conflicts to intensify.

"He doesn't know, so it's inconvenient for me to let him know. Otherwise, if I know that I'm being used by others, I'm afraid I'll be irritated with the eldest prince's temperament."

"Use is mutual. Since someone has used the First Prince, then I can borrow the First Prince and use them in reverse." Thinking of this, a strategy slowly took shape.

The eldest prince returned to Beijing for five days, and there has been no movement.

On the contrary, Lin Xi's apparent identity as 'Xiahouzun' was completely investigated.

For a long time, Luo Cheng, who had been in contact with Lin Xi and was his die-hard book fan, never visited him.

The promotion of the book Electric Age was in full swing, but it was also appropriately shelved.

Obviously, with the change of Lin Xi's superficial identity, Luo Cheng parted ways with him after all.

As King You, even though he has his own little hobbies, he can still carry out his duties clearly and will not go beyond the rules.

The previous Xiahou Zun was the concubine of the Xiahou family, so there was no serious problem if he got in touch with him.

Today's Xia Houzun is the eldest prince's confidant, if there is any more contact, it will inevitably arouse the emperor's displeasure and even suspicion.

Losing Luo Cheng as a tool man, Lin Xi still felt a little pity.

But it doesn't matter.

After all, the book Electric Age has been promoted to a certain extent.

The next step is to wait for fermentation.

"Next is the book "A Tale of Three Cities", which tells about the rich and noble lives of the wealthy sons and ladies in the three most important cities of the Xia Kingdom, namely, Kyoto, the old capital, and the prosperous city Juncheng. For them, in this transformation, the process of turning from prosperity to decline and from decline to prosperity.”

"On the surface, this book describes the extravagant life of the upper class, as well as the decay and corruption. But what is written in the heart is change and progress. It is a guide book for some low-level people and the down-and-out nobles who desire to regain their glory .”

"This book... is really not suitable for Luo Cheng to promote, but the First Prince... is just right. And those who plot against the First Prince should be more happy with such a book, causing widespread sensation and resonance."

"But they don't know that it is the exposure of this book that will gradually push them from behind the scenes to the front of the stage, and they have to join hands with the eldest prince first." Lin Xi pressed the manuscript.

The brilliance in the eyes intertwined, like the threads of fate intertwined.

Once again, a large amount of soul power was burned.

However, Lin Xi still couldn't get through the thin veil of fog and grasp the real extraordinary power in his hands.

"There are many miraculous skills in this world, but the rules involved are relatively shallow. Miraculous skills such as predicting the future belong to the minority."

"And among these rare skills that involve profound rules, life and death seem to be a topic that is difficult to touch. So far, no family has mastered the strange skills derived from these two rules."

"Is it impossible... or is it not accumulated enough?" Lin Xi thought of a new question.

For any living creature, life and death are unavoidable topics.

People in this world have made countless attempts in the past.

The most effective one was only the former Qi Dynasty, and the unique skill of the royal family Jiang family was to prolong life.

Members of the royal family can generally live to be over a hundred years old.

But it doesn't stop there.

With the extinction of the Jiang family in the Qi Dynasty, this life-prolonging skill was naturally cut off.

　Goodnight everybody!
