Chapter 726: Beating
"Is there any big news recently?" Chen Xi knocked on the table with dark circles under his eyes.
Because Dian Wei was out and Tuanzi was taken away by the princess, Chen Xi was beaten up by the Government Affairs Office one day, which was beyond their patience. After that, he calmed down a lot.
There is no way. What is worrying is not the lack of wealth but the inequality. Everyone is working, but Chen Xi is the only one who is slacking off openly. Even if Chen Xi is the prime minister, it is totally intolerable.
Moreover, Chen Xi only needed the county officials to set fire and not allow the people to light lamps. While he was doing whatever he wanted, he also found things for others to do.
Originally, people like Li Ru, Jia Xu, and Guo Jia were all lazy people, but they were forced by Chen Xi to work overtime every day, and there was a lot of complaints in the Government Affairs Office.
Finally, everyone joined forces and used the princess to transfer Tuanzi away, and then found someone to transfer Zhao Yun away.
He put a sack on Chen Xi and beat him up, only then did he feel better.
When Chen Xi was being beaten, he realized how much he had gone too far and finally stopped.
So he decided to find something long-term to do to shut everyone up and continue to slack off.
"This is for you, you will definitely be interested!" Guo Jia grinned and gave Chen Xi a look, then took out a piece of information from the desk and handed it to Chen Xi.
How could this bastard Chen Xi suffer a loss? He was hit a few times out of the blue in the chaos. His body was weaker than Chen Xi's, and he grimaced in pain.
"Let me see!" Chen Xi took the information from Guo Jia, took a look at it, and after a little thought he understood the Wei family's plan.
"Wei family..." Chen Xi dragged out the words.
The Wei family is doing pretty well now. After the merger of two of the world's five richest families, the Zhen family and the Mi family have been under pressure.
However, because of what the Wei family had done before, public opinion was not very friendly towards the Wei family.
There is no way. In the final analysis, the people that the Wei family offended were Guo Hao and Chen Xi, the two most powerful people in the Han Dynasty. In the past, no one would say anything when the Wei family was confiscated. It was just that the Wei family was so blind.
First, it was the incident with Cai Wenji, which offended Cai Yong. This was a small matter. Although the Cai family generally would not mention this matter, many aristocratic families politely kept their distance from the Wei family because of this. This was enough to scare the Wei family. Being isolated is not a good thing.
That is why the two companies merged together.
Another thing is the matter of the Wei family funding Cao Cao. Strictly speaking, Cao Cao was a traitor at the beginning. Even if he was later defined as an undercover agent, the Wei family didn't know about it. They did it with the mentality that Cao Cao could accomplish something.
Moreover, this was not the first or second time that Cao Cao had betrayed people from aristocratic families. The fact that the Wei family had a relationship with Cao Cao had further intensified the other aristocratic families' vigilance against them.
Due to various factors, although Chen Xi and Guo Hao had no intention of settling accounts, the people under them spontaneously began to offend the Wei family.
Not to mention that the Wei family couldn't withstand it, even the Chen family, Sima family, and Xun family, which were thousand-year-old families, couldn't withstand such great pressure.
"I have to say, the Wei family is quite well-informed. It was probably someone in the Weiyang Palace who gave the information. The people they selected are really discerning. They are all outstanding people!" Chen Xi sighed slightly.
There is no need to say anything about Li Shimin, he was considered the founding emperor of a dynasty and his strength was unquestionable.
Even though Cao Pi is at home now, Li Shimin can sometimes defeat Cao Pi.
Cao Pi had a huge home advantage. With the support of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, he had a lot of talented people. If Li Shimin had left the Li family, he would have to start from scratch.
Apart from the rumor that Li Shimin had a close relationship with the brothers Luo Cheng and Qin Qiong, he also had the support of the Wu family. Most of the other generals who originally belonged to the Tang Dynasty remained restrained and basically had no dealings with the aristocratic families.
The imperial court doesn't care about small groups now, but they don't want to be caught in a vortex.
Despite such a huge disadvantage, Li Shimin still kept close behind Cao Pi. There was nothing to say.
You mean Cao Ang? His opponent was Li Jiancheng, and Li Shimin, as the second in command, could only compete with Cao Pi.
Comparing the two during their peak periods, Li Shimin definitely beats Cao Pi. After all, there is still a gap between Li Shimin who unified the world and Cao Pi who divided the world into three parts.
But it is really hard to say now. The talents under Li Shimin's command have almost been taken away by Guo Hao, which makes it hard to compare with Cao Pi.
Cao Pi and Li Shimin had actually already been chosen and would both be sent out.
Li Jiancheng and Cao Ang would stay in the country and hold important positions, which was basically a pre-determined decision.
"Oh?" Cao Cao was stunned. The news of the Wei family was not a secret. Or maybe the Wei family released the news deliberately to see the reactions of the three.
"Can the second boy of the Li family compare with Pi'er?" Cao Cao asked with a little dissatisfaction, stroking his beard.
As Sikong, he was of course also in the Government Affairs Office, so when he heard Chen Xi's words, he was a little unconvinced.
"I can only say that the future is promising!" Chen Xi said with a smile.
"The Wei family is okay. Just consider it as giving face to the one in Weiyang Palace. But we still have to warn them. Some things should not be publicized so widely even if they are known!" Chen Xi knocked on the table.
"Didn't the princess want to create a spectacle before? Why not contract this matter to the Wei family to warn them not to cross the line?" Guo Jia raised his eyebrows and looked at Chen Xi.
"Okay, let's do this. We can also expose the previous things and make a statement to the people below. Don't use the past things to bring up the issue!" Chen Xi waved his hand and said.
In fact, it is not the fault of the subordinates. Their positions are too high now, and their power is too great. It is inevitable that the subordinates will speculate on any of their actions.
"I remember that you are not such a petty person!" Xun Yu glanced at Chen Xi strangely. What a strange thing! In the past, it was enough to cause turmoil in the country. Now that the Wei family is contracted to do this, the Wei family will probably die directly. How can they have any extra money to maintain their investment plan?
As for the others, although they seemed calm on the surface, they were actually listening with their ears pricked up. They heard that Chen Xi had recently gone to Cai's house. Could it be that good things were about to happen? Then it was too unfortunate for the Wei family to jump out to show their presence and suffer the consequences.
"It's just a small wonder! As long as the Wei family can think more clearly, they won't lose much!"
"Since the Wei family has already started to act, let's spread the news and let the other families start to prepare!" Chen Xi said calmly. "Since a complete revolution is not advisable, let's make a compromise and let half go and half stay, leaving enough channels for upward mobility to ensure vitality!"
Guo Jia almost spitted water on Chen Xi's face. You have never exposed someone like this before, and you also let the Wei family take the blame.
"Wait, you mean to let the Wei family choose directly between the Li family and the Cao family, and not allow them to touch Yue Fei?" After a brief moment of surprise, Guo Jia instantly understood Chen Xi's deeper meaning.
"How can a private individual interfere with a national treasure ?" Chen Xi rolled his eyes at Guo Jia. Is there any need to say such nonsense?
