Chapter 725: Hidden Dragon in the Abyss
The Wei family is worried from top to bottom. Ever since this prosperous era began, they have been in trouble one after another.
First, Wei Zhongdao died, and Cai Yong was demoted. The Wei family took the opportunity to cut ties with the Cai family. They thought they could just sit back and watch the fire from the other side of the river.
As a result, Cai Wenji and Chen Xi fell in love with each other, and Cai Wenji later showed the demeanor that was enough to make her a great figure, coupled with her knowledge and other weights.
It is too late for the Wei family to regret. They were the ones who took the initiative to be the bad guys in the first place. If they want to get back at them now, they would be treating the great scholar Cai Yong as a dead man.
Moreover, Cai Yong is now the principal of the academy, on an equal footing with Huangfu Song. The Wei family has to think carefully about this.
Of course, these are not the biggest troubles. The biggest trouble is Chen Xi.
If we put Chen Xi aside, as one of the old aristocratic families, they still have a way to let Cai Wenji join the Wei family.
But Chen Xi alone is capable of crushing the entire Wei family to ashes. They were in the wrong first and can only suffer this loss in silence.
Next, they invested in Cao Cao, spending most of their family fortune on him. But Guo Hao won the world in one battle, and all the investment fortune was taken away by Guo Hao. Even though Cao Cao is now the Prime Minister, it is still a huge loss for their Wei family.
After all, Cao Cao might be able to lend a hand to the Wei family because of their past friendship. It would be fine if they could provide a small favor, but if it really involved any personnel appointments, then forget it.
The only good thing was that the Wei family had met Huo Qubing. However, Huo Qubing was a young man, but he was very close to Wei Qing. It was only God's blessing that he could have such a close relationship with their younger generations.
Although they have held on to a powerful figure, this figure is not close to them.
For this reason, the Wei family tried every possible way to rescue General Wei, but all failed.
And now there is this Zhang Song incident, and it was used by Chen Xi for exhibition, which is equivalent to publicizing all the heritage of the Wei family.
But can they stop it? No!
Is it true that we are shouting to the world that our family tradition has been stolen by others and further developed in their hands?
They might as well just take down the Wei family's signboard.
"It has come to this, our Wei family must change!" The head of the Wei family was full of desolation.
The Chen family, Sima family, Xun family, these old aristocratic families have always produced outstanding people. Even when dynasties changed, there were always figures like Xun Yu, Chen Qun, Sima Lang, and Sima Yi to support them.
But in their Wei family, there is not even a tall person to be found, and the only hope, Wei Zhongdao, is dead.
The two Wei families have now merged together, but they are both useless and are far behind other families.
They are anxious. In another time period, they would just hide quietly and wait and see what happens in fifty years.
But what era is it now, the golden age. If they don’t fight for it, they will probably die.
"There are three choices now. All of us in the Wei family are here. Make a choice!"
In fact, if you have to say it, the Wei family has developed quite well because of its good economic strength.
But in this era where power is above everything, they really have no confidence in going into business.
The two Wei families selected three targets and decided to take a gamble and turn a bicycle into a motorcycle.
"The first one is Li Shimin, the second son of the Li family!"
"The second one is Yue Fei, Yue Pengju!"
"The third one is Cao Pi of the Cao family!"
The elders of the Wei family were discussing the matter. Since they could sit here, they must have some abilities, and they had certainly heard of these names.
"Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng are at odds and plan to split up and work on their own. This is an opportunity for us. Moreover, according to our ancestors' suggestion, we may move to another place to establish a country in the future. Our Wei family has no outstanding people now, so we can only choose to invest!"
The head of the Wei family said sadly that the saddest thing was this, it was a golden age, but they had no outstanding talents.
In fact, the young people of the Wei family are not particularly bad, but the lack of spiritual talent is enough to make them fall out of the ranks of first-class families.
Since it is an investment, of course they have to gamble.
Otherwise, for them it would be just a slow death, no different from staying in the Han Dynasty.
In the end, there were only three options left that met their gamble: Li Shimin, Yue Fei, and Cao Pi.
Li Jiancheng and Cao Ang have basically reserved their spots. Even if Li Shimin and Cao Pi are very powerful, it will be useless because each has his own spot.
There are only so many positions in the Han Dynasty, and whoever gets there first will naturally have the advantage if their abilities are up to par.
Li Shimin and Cao Pi suffered this loss. If they wanted to expand, they could only choose to go out and work on their own, which gave them room for investment.
Li Jiancheng's current performance cannot be said to be very good, but there is no problem for him to occupy a position as one of the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers. In addition, as the eldest son, after inheriting the Li family, he can certainly occupy a seat in the Han court and lead the Li family to continue to develop.
Even if he wanted to go out and establish his own country, it would definitely be Li Jiancheng who would be the emperor, not him, Li Shimin.
So the Wei family set their sights on Li Shimin, a potential stock.
The same was true for Cao Pi. With Guo Hao as his support, Xu Zijiang's Yuedanping became very popular.
Young people nowadays feel embarrassed to go out without commenting on something.
Cao Pi had the fate of a true dragon emperor, as did Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng, and even Wu Zhao of the Wu family.
These things might have been taboo in the past, but it is different in this golden age.
When the sun and the moon are in the sky, the dragon should coil and the tiger should lie down.
Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu...
There are so many real dragons that it’s impossible to count them all.
The imperial court also likes to make some kind of ranking list and rank these young talents with special destinies.
Moreover, Li Shimin and his people are not even ranked at the top, mainly because their talents as monarchs have not yet taken shape. Even if they have the fate of a true dragon, they are not as good as the people at the front.
The first on the list is naturally Yue Fei, who was born into a commoner family and now controls a military soul corps. As long as the Wei family is willing to invest, their development in the country will surely be good.
Internal energy leaves the body. He is the commander of the Military Soul Legion. He is young and handsome.
Who doesn't know the value of the Military Soul Corps? But look at the other people, Hua Xiong, Ju Yi, Gao Shun and so on, none of them can compare to Yue Fei's high investment value.
The second on the list is Li Yuanba, the fourth son of the Li family, recognized as the next generation number one in the world, a boundary-breaking expert who dominates the world.
The third on the list is Liu Chan, whose ability is not so good, but Liu Bei is now the only provincial governor in charge of four continents. He recently conquered two more continents. Moreover, Liu Chan is a member of the royal family, so naturally his rank is a little higher.
Next come people like Cao Pi and Li Shimin.
There is no way around it. It's Li Yuan's fault. He is only the defender of Chang'an City, while Cao Cao is the Prime Minister. Comparing the two, Li Yuan is currently completely defeated.
