Huniu's villa in Nanshan is not big but very quiet. Not far away is a cliff overlooking the entire sea and a very beautiful viewing platform.
The surrounding land has been bought, and it is impossible for ordinary people to get close to it.
This time she and Fu Hui broke down, and she came here not to be sulky, but to find her allies to analyze the current situation together.
At the most critical moment, she did not look for the Fuso people like Ito, but chose her eldest disciples, the navy commanders Xiang Ying and Lin Zhen.
"Xiang Ying, I need you to confirm again, how sure are you of winning this time when the British invade?"
Huniu asked coldly, but Xiang Ying did not give an answer immediately.
"Mother, are you sure you want to do this? It's not difficult to seize the magic medicine halfway. The navy has 10,000 ways to temporarily dock ships. Maybe it's an exercise, maybe a typhoon, maybe it's to search for espionage..."
"But if you really do this, you will definitely fall out completely in the end. This kind of thing cannot be kept secret. As long as Emperor Tongzhi dies, everyone will be suspicious of us!"
Huniu didn't look at the dark night sky outside the window. A lot of dark clouds suddenly came up in the middle of the night, and it looked like it was going to rain again.
"Child, do you know? When Fuhui told me today that our first identity is a minister, and our second identity is a wife, I knew where I was wrong!"
Huniu, the Tiger Lady revered by Asian political forces, looked particularly haggard today, as if she had suddenly aged four or five years.
"Haha, what Fuhui can explain in one sentence takes me many years to understand!"
"Yes, there is no family affection around the head of state. Even if he is his wife and children, aren't they still ministers?"
"Fu Yin'er is his flesh and blood, and in the end he has to cooperate with his strategy. He is just the highest-ranking minister!"
"We wives have to act and dance with his politics. None of it is true. None of it is true!"
"To be honest, I don't care. When I met the Heavenly Soldier in the Taihang Mountains, I knew that my life was his!"
"Whether you are a wife or a courtier, as long as you can stay with him, it will be enough for you for the rest of your life!"
"But...but I happened to meet Fuhui...do you know how jealous I am of her? It's not the jealousy of a woman, but the jealousy of status..."
Huniu stood up and pushed open the window, letting the cold wind blow into the house. After her words, the temperature in the house dropped.
"Xiang Ying, Lin Zhen..."
"Here..." The two quickly stood up.
Huniu pointed at the dark night sky, "Today I know what the dark clouds are covering my heart, and I know what I am afraid of!"
"That's status. Our statuses are not equal. We lack too many things... He is a born aristocrat, and we are halfway aristocrats. There is no comparison!"
This sentence made Xiang Ying stunned, as if something was suddenly torn into pieces.
"Child... you don't understand. Fu Hui is a born noble. Even if he has had three husbands before, even if his reputation in the capital is very bad, she is a descendant of the Fucha family with a yellow flag..."
"The great names in the Eight Banners, the nobles among the nobles, these people have been exposed to rules that we have never known since they were young!"
"Haha, that's great. Maybe the one or two sentences they heard when they were children are enough for us to appreciate for a lifetime!"
"Jinfen Family, it's really a good name. Xiao Letian, you really know how to come up with names... And this Jinfen Family can only be managed by Fuhui, and I can't even reach it!"
"It turns out that Lian Zaichun's daughter-in-law is a member of this golden family. Fuhui's energy is so great that he can even influence the queen of the Qing Dynasty!"
"I'm not jealous, I really am not. To be honest, I can't do this. I'm not from that circle, and I don't understand the rules!"
"We can't play together...so there's no use being jealous!"
"I'm just the crazy girl in the village, the daughter of a businessman and a small landowner. I haven't received much education yet... I've reached the limit of what I can do today!"
"But I just can't give it in!" Huniu reached out and grabbed the hardwood window lattice, and the edges were deeply pressed into the palm of her hand. The pain made her wake up a little.
"Xiang Ying... you are actually the same. You climbed up from the bottom like my wife. You are not even as good as Lin Zhen!"
Hiss... Lin Zhen took a breath of air, thinking to himself, why did you get me involved?
"No, no, no... Madam, please don't say that. I am just a servant of the Chinese clan, a screw. Madam can move it however she wants. Brother Xiang will always be my eldest brother. How can I compare with him?"
"Haha... You don't need to say such useless things. There are no outsiders here, not even Ito's group... Fuso people, haha, will never be my direct descendants. You are my children!"
Huniu pointed at the decanter bottle and said, "Pour me a glass of wine!"
"Xiang Ying, you should understand. You came from the mountains in the west of Beijing. You didn't succeed in private school. You are a commoner's child like me..."
"Lin Zhen is the minister of household affairs in the ancient country of Ryukyu and the eldest son of Lin Yuanmiao. Not to mention Ryukyu is a small country, no matter how small it is, it is still a country!"
"The systematic education they received since childhood is different. They have a natural advantage in politics, while those of us who came from the grass-roots team can only work hard to death!"
"But this is not enough. A casual word from others from time to time can shatter the confidence we have finally built up!"
"How do you compare a nobleman who has lived three generations with a commoner who has lived three lives? How do you compare?"
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning pierced the night sky, followed by dull thunder in the distance, and the inner demon was finally revealed.
Yes, where does the conflict between Fuhui and Huniu come from?
How did the conflict between Xiang Ying and Zai Chun arise?
Is it really about power and interests? Is it true that if you eat more and occupy more, I will get less portions?
Not at all, these people are already at the pinnacle of power in Asia, and the power they hold is already unimaginably huge.
In fact, even if they have more power, they cannot control it personally and have to delegate it to their subordinates to manage.
At this level, power is already very chaotic. You can't tell where the boundaries between them are. It's not clear-cut.
It's normal for Huniu to be selfish for her son's future, but in fact Huniu herself knows very well that Fu Yin'er's position is too stable.
As long as he grows up healthy, the future of the Chinese nation will definitely be his, and Huniu doesn't have to work so hard.
There is also Xiang Ying, who is now a figure like the Navy God of War. No one can defeat him except Xiao Letian. The competition between him and Zai Chun is the so-called first disciple and second disciple.
It also looks very pale and boring.
So why exactly? Today this inner demon is finally broken!
The new aristocrats who rose from the grassroots naturally cannot get along with the old aristocrats. The inherited pride in the bones of the old aristocrats is like a thorn that always makes people uncomfortable.
As for the nobles who have risen from the grassroots, the inferiority complex in their hearts is always as ready as ghosts.
Sometimes a few comments from an old aristocrat about antiques are likely to irritate others.
The cultural attribute of the grassroots aristocrats, that is, the aristocratic period is still too weak!
Therefore, the Jinfen family can only be commanded by Fuhui, and Huniu can only be the first-grade tiger wife of Fusang's little devils.
This is a gap that is helpless but really irritating!
The unsolvable inner demon finally showed his ferocious face today, and Lin Zhen suddenly felt that murderous intent filled the room.
