Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 301 Cleaning up the Portal (Fifth Watch)
Chapter 306 Clearing the Portal

What Xi Chao said made sense, but it was not.

Officials in this era are mainly from the various gentry families, and these gentry families have a characteristic.

They will not be loyal to one family or one country, but to their interests. Whoever can benefit them enough, they will follow!
Moreover, Wei State is not without innate advantages, at least the jade seal ordered by Qin Shihuang to be made with "Heshibi" is in the hands of Ran Min.

This also increases the legal advantage for Wei Guo.

Of course, Wang Xizhi understood that Xi Chao was lenient to him. Wang Sima shared the world, and the Wang family was destined to be different from other gentry clans. They could only be closely united with the Sima family.

Wang Xizhi couldn't hide his deep worry on his face.

The state of Wei is getting stronger and stronger, like a mountain, pressing on the hearts of Jin.What righteousness is something that the rulers specially use to bluff people. In the face of sufficient strength, the name of righteousness is just a thin piece of paper.

Like Cao Dai Han, Jin usurping Wei, who cares too much about righteousness?If righteousness is really useful, there will be no chaos, and there will be no change of dynasty.

Now it was Wei's turn to overwhelm the Jin Dynasty, and the trend of the dynasty becoming more and more obvious.

Xi Chao looked at Wang Xizhi, with a knowing smile on his face, and asked as if unintentionally: "Eternal? I heard that Ningzhi's cousin wants to marry Xie's daughter, what's going on?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xizhi felt angry.He said displeased: "The Xie family of Chenjun has high eyesight, and they look down on my Wang Xizhi's son!"

Then, Wang Xizhi spoke out about Xie An's first polite refusal, and then his direct refusal of Wang Xie's marriage. Of course, there was deep dissatisfaction with Xie's in his tone!

Xi Chao said: "So that's the case, no wonder... no wonder... I saw it at King Jiaodong's mansion the other day..."

Xi Chao suddenly seemed to understand something, at this moment, he suddenly stopped talking.

Wang Xizhi got up in a hurry and said, "What did you see?"

Xi Chao said, "Nothing!"

If Xi Chaoyue didn't say anything, Wang Xizhi was even more anxious!After repeated questioning, Xi Chao had no choice but to tell the whole story: "He had seen Xie's daughter Dao Yun in the mansion of King Jiaodong in the Bell and Drum Tower of Jiankang, and it seemed that the two were very familiar!"

Wang Xizhi shouted, "Xie Anshi is too deceitful. I, the Wang family of Langlang, how can I not compare to the Ran family?"

Immediately, Wang Xizhi began to calm down again. It was not a big deal if the Xie family did not marry the Wang family, but if he married the prince of Wei State, the situation would be different.

Although the gentry have a characteristic, they don't put their eggs in one basket. For the benefit of the family, they usually adopt a method of diversifying investment to support various forces in order to remain invincible.

But the Xie family is different. As the main founders of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, they can only unreservedly support the Jin State just like the Wang family.

Wang Xizhi thought to himself: "Well, you Xie Anshi, you have a shrewd plan. Seeing that Wei Guo is developing well, you actually want to use Ran Ming to connect with Wei Guo and find a way out for the Xie family!"

Wang Xizhi felt that Xie An had betrayed the Wang Xie Alliance and Da Jin.

This news was very important, and it made him much less drunk.Wang Xizhi hurriedly left the Moon Tower without even saying goodbye to Xi Chao.Wang Xizhi needs to get this news through the Wang Clan Elders' Association as soon as possible to discuss how to deal with it!
In fact, Xi Chao was secretly complacent. When he thought that he could lure Wang Xizhi into the trap with a little trick, he didn't see that there was actually a small hole in the landscape painting on the Moon Tower, which was the most primitive bug in ancient times.

Listen to the tube.This is how the so-called partition walls have ears.In order to reduce eavesdropping mistakes by members of Sky Eye, Jing Zhan formed Ran Ming's eavesdropping team by using what he learned in "Heavenly Deaf and Mute".These eavesdroppers, without exception, are all blind.

Blind people often have super-strong hearing, and they can hear movements within a radius of tens of miles by using a listening pot.With the listening tube, the sound of mosquitoes and ants within a hundred square meters can be heard!

Hearing the news about Ran Ming, the spy at the Moon Tower where the sticky stick was located did not dare to be careless, and quickly passed the news to Ran Ming through a special channel.

Ran Ming saw the news from Sky Eye.

It was very surprising that Ran Ming had been friends with this talented Xie Daoyun for a long time, but Ran Ming didn't pay much attention to this Xie Daoyun, after all, he knew that Xie Daoyun was destined to become Wang Ningzhi's wife.

Moreover, even if he doesn't have a concubine, it is impossible to marry Ran's family with Xie's position in Jiangdong.

Ran Ming passed the news to Du Cong.Now Du Congming is Ran Ming's butler on the surface, but in fact he is his stick.Ran Ming listened to Wang Meng's opinion. Wang Meng believed that the sticky pole had too much power to be in the hands of one person forever.The sticky pole was trained by Jing Zhan, that is, Hu Guang, the deputy commander, who is still Jing Zhan's apprentice.Over time, it will become a situation where the Sky Eye members only listen to Jing Zhan's orders and don't know Ran Ming.

Although Jing Zhan is loyal to him, no one can guarantee that Jing Zhan's next boss will be absolutely loyal to him like Jing Zhan.

In this way, Ran Ming set up the four commanders of Hu Guang, Huo Qi, Du Cong, and Jing Zhan at the same time. The four people are not affiliated with each other, and no one has more power than the other. , report to Ran Ming.

Use Huo Qi to check and balance Hu Guang, and Du Cong to check and balance Jing Zhan.

Intentionally or not, Ran Ming aligned the four eyes of the sky and opposed each other.

Ran Ming believes that any ruler does not want to see his subjects cooperating closely like iron plates.The art of imperial power is to rely on two words: "balance!"

Ran Ming only needs to master one of the "degrees". Only through the single competition between each other can such an organization have enough vitality and be positive!
Ran Ming asked Du Cong in sign language: "How should we deal with this matter?"

Du Cong was Zhang Yu's confidant in history.

As a smart person, a disabled person, being able to become the mastermind of a hegemony is obviously more difficult than ordinary people.This also shows from the side that Du Cong's ability is outstanding.

Du Cong thought for a while and said to Ran Ming in sign language: "My lord, is it beneficial for the State of Wei to unite Wang Xie, or to benefit the State of Wei by splitting?"

Ran Ming said without thinking, "Of course Wang Xie split?"

In history, Xie An took power and took advantage of the weak Jin Dynasty to defeat Fu Jian's 95 army. This is a B, T.A person who is more B/T than Zhuge Liang.

What's more, in this era, the Xie family is still on the rise, and there are many talented people in the clan.Xie Xuan, Xie Lang, Xie He, Xie Tiao, Xie Lingyun (not born), but some of them are literary or martial arts, they are all young leaders!
Ran Ming said without thinking: "Of course it's split!"

Du Cong smiled leisurely: "It's over. It's not hard to guess Xi Chao's intentions. As Huan Wen's counselor, he must want to clear the way for Huan Wen's actions, so Wang Xie who is united is a big trouble for Huan Wen. The same is true for the Lord, since our goals are the same, why not add fuel to the flames?"

"Add fuel to the flames?" Ran Ming said with a smile: "How to add fuel to the flames?"

Du Cong said: "Actually, Xi Chao's strategy is not very clever. As long as Wang Xizhi calms down, or when the time comes, he will go to the Xie family's residence to question his teacher, then the truth will come to light!"

"That's right!" Ran Ming thought for a while, and then said, "I never imagined that Xi Chaoxi's guest would come up with such a clumsy plan? Doesn't it match his personality?"

How did Ran Ming know that Xi Chao only saw Xie Daoyun at Ran Ming's mansion, and mistakenly thought that it was Xie's courtship to Ran Wei, who wanted to marry to maintain the family's interests.But in the real situation, Xie Daoyun and Ran Ming met, knew each other, and got along with each other. Everything was accidental, and it was also a private behavior, which had nothing to do with the family!
Du Cong said: "If we do nothing, this strategy will definitely not achieve the effect of splitting the Wang Xie alliance. Therefore, we must do something!"

"How to do it?" Ran Ming's first thought was to create rumors and use his habitual way of thinking.further achieve their goals.

"My lord, you must not do this!" Du Cong said, "If you really do it like this, it will not only startle the snake, but also arouse Xie An's vigilance. Time will instead lead to a stronger alliance between the Xie Clan of Chen Jun and the Wang Clan of Langya!"

"Since the rumors are not successful, what strategy should we adopt!" Ran Ming had already thought of taking the preemptive approach at this time, asking Wei Guo to issue an official letter of credence and propose marriage to the Xie family, even if he gave the position of princess to the little girl of the Xie family. .However, when Ran Ming thought of this question, he unconsciously thought of Zhu Yingtai, especially that absurd and bloody night.

"My lord, I heard that Xie's female Dao Yun is both talented and beautiful. Why don't you wait for me!" Du Cong smiled and said: "Although the Xie family is deeply rooted in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, they will not agree to this marriage. However, Chen Jun is now In the hands of my Great Wei, if the lord can persuade Your Majesty to accept the post of Chen Jun's prefect, Mrs. Xie will definitely not refuse! After all, if you are rich and honored, you will not return to your hometown, like a night walk in brocade clothes! Mrs. Xie does not want to return to her hometown with glory every moment!"

Ran Ming is psychologically mature, so he is not interested in a little girl who is only thirteen or fourteen years old. In history, Wang Xizhi's son Wang Ningzhi has suffered a lot from the face of this talented girl.Xie Daoyun may not be a female man physically, but she is a female man psychologically.

As Ran Ming, he absolutely has no intention of marrying a female man, not even a psychological one!

However, Ran Ming didn't know what was going on, Zhu Yingtai's shadow appeared in his head unconsciously, and he couldn't get rid of it no matter what.Regarding Du Cong's proposal, Ran Ming waved his hand and said, "You can figure it out!"

Xie's mansion in Wuyi Lane, Jiankang, is very lively now.The talented girl Xie became a weeping man, looking for life and death.

And Xie Yi held the sword, saying that he had to clean up the door.
