As for the place, they are the emperors of the earth, so that they can leave their homes without any problems. This is the way of survival of these aristocratic families that have been passed down for a long time.
They don't need to climb to the top, they just need to control the court from behind. When the world kills the emperor, the world will change, and the court will still be their mouthpiece. This is how the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties controlled the country's powerful families. The way of survival has been developed to the extreme.
In the end, a man as powerful as Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty could only endure it. This method would not be effective for a while, but some aristocratic families have been playing this way for thousands of years. In the end, the network of relationships was so good that except for the emperor sitting on the stage holding the vat, All the civil servants in the country, from the first to the ninth rank, are all our own...
This kind of aristocratic family, which does everything except hiding behind others, is upright and upright. In fact, it is not much different from the emperor, except for the title.
Of course, let’s not mention guys like Yuan Shu who compete for titles. Many people will be obsessed with titles in later generations.
However, the Chen family now has this way of thinking. It is not unreasonable for someone like the ninth-grade Zhongzheng to come from the Chen family. As long as he is good at it, he can give up face first!
"It's true that I didn't make it clear." Chen Xigao glanced at Chen Guang and Chen Shang, "What I mean is that you stand behind the empire and control an empire without being visible in front of others. Except for the emperor, everyone in the court is just a mouthpiece. There is not even an emperor, only A group, as for how to control a group, you should be no worse than me."
Chen Shang and Chen Guang were both shocked. Chen Xi's words made them feel like they were struck by lightning, but thinking about it, it seemed not impossible. The so-called Holy Emperor ruled from the top, to put it bluntly, the Emperor did not do anything, and the ministers discussed how to control all the people in the world. Things are resolved.
It's best if the emperor doesn't get involved in politics or military affairs, and the ministers can handle everything...
Since the emperor does nothing, is it okay to have no emperor but only ministers, and not just one person? As for groups, the family likes groups the most. Groups are easy to get mixed up with, and it is easy to find someone to take the blame. So controllable!
"If that's the case." Chen Guang looked at Chen Yun with a gleam in his eyes. He also knew that she was one of the most stunning women in the world, and her dancing and folk arts were second to none. However, such a major event related to the fate of the Chen family, how could it be done? Can be negligent.
Chen Xi saw the sharp light in Chen Guang and Chen Shang's eyes. Turning around, I saw Chen Yun. I was used to this guy not having any sense of presence. He was always there when he was called, and he forgot to let her leave.
"Yun'er, you go and stay outside." Chen Xi coughed twice, "I'll call you in if I have something to do."
Although Chen Yun's face showed a trace of panic, her actions were not disrespectful in the slightest. The worst thing about a personal maid is that she will die if she comes into contact with something that she shouldn't come into contact with.
After Chen Yun left, Chen Guang and Chen Shang both looked at Chen Xi. "How can the head of the family neglect such a big thing?"
"Don't worry, she won't tell others. Normally she doesn't go out and follows me when she goes out." Chen Xi rolled his eyes and said, "What's more, I didn't say she was in the Central Plains."
Chen Guang and Chen Shang were stunned. What kind of empire is it if it is not in the Central Plains? A small country in the Western Regions can drag the Xun family over and strangle them piece by piece. This method is still needed.
Chen Xi picked up the green bamboo pole on the side, pointed at the place in Central Asia on the map and began to explain. Until Chen Guang and Chen Shang were stunned.
"This is impossible!" Chen Guang shouted as he took pictures of several cases. How could the world be so vast? How could there be fertile land than the Central Plains? How could there be a better place than the Central Plains. This is absolutely impossible and cannot be accepted by their worldview!
"Yun'er, bring in the book I asked you to prepare." Chen Xi said to the door, not bothering to avoid Chen Yun.
Speaking of which, Chen Yun was the first to know the whole world. When Chen Xi was drawing the map, Chen Yun was just adding tea and water, and Chen Xi was not very strict with Chen Yun. Chen Yun asked out of curiosity, and Chen Xi answered.
However, Chen Yun accepted this reality more easily than Li You and others. She had no world view. She could accept whatever Chen Xi said. She accepted all Chen Xi's reasonable and unreasonable demands unconditionally.
Along with the Biography of Emperor Mu, Classic of Mountains and Seas, Historical Records, and some fragments were carried over by Chen Yun, and soon all the countries that once existed in Central Asia were put together. When the Han Dynasty was strong, the Eurasian continent Everyone who should have exchanges has had exchanges.
It’s just that in most cases these countries are hidden under the powerful glory of the empire. Even aristocratic families don’t pay too much attention to these countries. Da Qin, Dawan, Anxi, Yueshi, these countries all have clear records of exchanges. of.
"The world is so vast..." Chen Guang opened his mouth and said, and then looked at the map with great dejection, "Then what do we argue about before? Are these lands as fertile as Qingxu Jiyanyu?"
"That's not true. There are bitter cold places and fertile soil. For example, here, there are three crops a year and there is no need for rotational farming." Chen Xi pointed to India and said that the land there is very suitable for farming.
"Sure enough, our family is just a joke, right?" Chen Shang's old eyes slowly rolled out tears. The land where his ancestors bled to death, the source of disputes for more than a thousand years, turned out to be just a joke. The world is so big, Yanhuang Their descendants have shrunk in a corner for thousands of years!
"It's not a joke. You have accumulated more than a thousand years of struggle experience and fought for power with military checks and balances. All empires on this map are no match for you." Chen Xi didn't know what his mentality was at this time, but he was like this. Ridiculing, but this is really true.
Maybe countries have their own advantages in terms of military strategy, but when it comes to politics, how to trick people, the aristocratic families absolutely crush people from other countries, so let’s rest on the seven nobles’ methods of tricking their own country. The aristocratic families are definitely better than those guys. pretty.
Therefore, rubbish is misplaced resources. Let the machinations masters of the family, who have been trained in the local area for thousands of years, deal with those infighting experts who are almost at the level of primary school students, and they do not need to have any consideration. They can do whatever they want. toss.
If they could still lose to Machiavellianism, these aristocratic families should have hung up their boots long ago. This group of people have accumulated thousands of years of struggle experience, and it is absolutely safe for them to continue doing what they are best at. Chen Xi can guarantee this.
As for the destructive power caused by the power struggle, let them go. The broken jars and jars themselves were meant to be divided among them, so it would not be a pity if they were all broken.
Of course, the method mentioned by Chen Xi, in which there was no emperor and officials governed together, was actually an attempt. They went abroad to acquire a piece of land and established this governance method on the spot, which could be regarded as accumulating experience for the future political reform of the Han Empire. (To be continued.)
