The Grandmaster Strategist Chapter 8: South Min Yue Family

The Yue clan in Nanmin, a family of shipping, has endured for a long time. The rising star of the Hai clan has old grievances with the Yue clan, which cannot be resolved.

——"Yong Shi Huo Shi Biography"

In Jinghai Villa, above the red building, I looked at the geographical map of the mountains and rivers on the table and smiled and said: "The Nanmin Yue family is the first shipping company in the world. It has been passed down for generations and has been enduring for a long time. Not only can people come out in large numbers, but also the in-laws spread all over the world. Since the collapse of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Yue clan took the opportunity to control the military and political power of Southern Fujian. After the founding of the Southern Chu, Southern Fujian was still unique. Under the pressure of Da Yong, the Southern Chu had no spare capacity to calm down. Nanmin, so the Yue family is actually one of the princes. Although Nanmin is a vassal of Southern Chu in name, it is actually like Binzhou and not under the control of Nanchu. However, the Yue family will not be too much. After all, if Nanchu is determined, although the Yue family can surrender to Dayong in exchange for support, it will retreat to the sea in a short time. Then the industry of the Yue family in Nanmin will suffer heavy losses, so for the Yue family In other words, it is best for the world to fall apart in this way so that they can have greater benefits."

Princess Changle, who was originally sitting on the soft couch next to her, raised her head and said thoughtfully: "At the beginning, my cousin was dormant in the East China Sea, and Yuejia actively supported my cousin and married my cousin. Let my cousin contain Dayong’s ideas."

I said leisurely: "Yes, although the Yue family lives in the South China Sea and does not have the ability to compete in the Central Plains, but the ambition of separatism does exist,'full of flowers drunk three thousand guests, one sword glorifies the twelve states', this is the description The famous sentence of Yuejia prestige, these twelve states refer to Fuzhou, Jianzhou, Quanzhou, Zhangzhou, Tingzhou, Nanjianzhou, Shaowu, Xinghua and Meizhou, Jieyang and Nanao in eastern Guangdong, although Nanao is still not the first The land of the state, but this place is known as the throat of Fujian and Guangdong. Merchant ships gather and it is more prosperous than Binzhou, so it is called the "twelve states." Although Yuejia actually only controls Zhangzhou, Quanzhou, Jieyang, and Nanao, it is It is the quintessence of Fujian in the southeast of Guangdong, with mountains and seas behind. Southern Chu is powerless, and Dayong is beyond its reach. Although the Yue family is low-key, it has never competed for hegemony, and it has never been the king, but only from the "Mantang Huazui three thousand guests". In one sentence, you can know the prosperity of the Yue family. In order to maintain such a position, in addition to claiming to the strong, it is possible to let the troubled times go on endlessly. This time the Jiang and Yue two married again, that is Yuejia takes the initiative."

Princess Changle frowned slightly: "It is really hateful that the Yue family is so hardworking. The suffering of the people under the world probably doesn't matter to them. Suiyun, in that case, why do you see this marriage successful? Wouldn’t it be what they wanted. And now that Hai’s is engaged in shipping with your support, Binzhou has become a seaport second only to Quanzhou in South Fujian, and the cousin’s military support is even more important. In the idea of ​​ocean-going trade, if they master the secret technology of Hai’s shipbuilding, wouldn’t they be even more powerful, or from this perspective, wouldn’t they be able to marry the Jiang family successfully?"

I played with the Jasper paperweight in my hand and said lightly: "Although the Yue family is not careful, it is my wish to let them intervene in ocean trade. This is the case in this world, except that the throne can only be monopolized by one person. No matter what it is, it’s better not to monopolize it by one person by any means. Now the ocean trade is monopolized by the Hai family. I don’t know how many people are jealous. If there is no unification today, it’s fine. When the world is unified and the four seas rise, I’m afraid the first The one who wants to deal with the Hai family is the emperor. Even if it is for the sake of my face that the Hai family will not be affected for the time being, the Hai family will be destroyed after I am a hundred years later. In that case, it is better to let the Yue family share a piece of the pie. Come, although there will be people who want to crack down on suppression, but as long as they have enough ability, they can continue to support it."

When Princess Changle heard the sentence "The first person who wanted to deal with the Hai family is the emperor", her hand shook, and the embroidery needle had stabbed her finger, but after hearing it she calmed down and said: "This is also To be honest, although the emperor is wise, it is difficult to pretend that this kind of thing is invisible. Since the husband has this plan, the marriage of Jiang and Yue does not have to be concerned about it, but the Yue family is already so powerful. , Is also inclined to Nanchu, unwilling to surrender to Da Yong. Now that the husband lets them intervene in ocean trade, doesn't it further fuel their arrogance?"

I said meaningfully and authentically: "How can there be such a good thing. Although Yuejia can participate, it is not now. If the Yuejia is not weakened, let alone I will not worry, even Brother Hai will be upset. I am prepared First give the Yue family a heavy blow, and then give them the opportunity to participate in ocean shipping."

Princess Changle said worriedly: "But since the Yue family is the overlord of the South China Sea, how can the husband give them too much blow? After all, Nan Min is still the territory of Southern Chu. If the Yue family is angered, they will turn to fully support Nan Chu, isn't it more troublesome?"

I shook my head and said: "Everything is prosperous and declining. The Yue family has been passed down for more than ten generations. It has long been full of hidden worries. What is especially criticized is that the Yue family’s methods of doing business are too domineering. The opponents of Shanghai are often suppressed by all means. Those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will die. Businessmen in the southeast of Guangdong and Fujian will have their breath. Zhong Ying once mentioned that he offended a Yue family in eastern Guangdong. But the deacon, when he went out to sea, he encountered sea bandits and his family business was ruined. Later, Zhongying suspected that the Yue clan did this. Although there is no evidence, the Yue family and the sea bandits have always had contacts, and afterwards Zhongying could have continued the business. The creditors didn’t want to force him to pay off the debts, but hoped that he could continue to run the business so that he could pay back the huge debts. The Yue family also made trouble. In the end, Zhongying dissipated his wealth and paid it back. Nan Min owed a lot of debts, and was unable to survive, so he moved to Dayong. It is a coincidence that he was in charge of Tianji Pavilion's business, and he took a fancy to Zhongying's talents and supported him to make a comeback. Later, Pirate Li found out that he and Hai Zhong Ying is an uncle and nephew, and I live in the East China Sea again to support the Hai family. Jiang Hou is also very dissatisfied with the Yue family. This has led to the situation where the Hai family has come from behind. The Yue family’s style of behavior is naturally an enemy. There are many, usually I can’t see it. If it’s a critical time, it will be a situation of attacking in groups, and there are also many hidden worries within the Yue family. The dispute for the Patriarch of the Yue family is now in full swing, and it is the best opportunity to attack the Yue family."

Princess Changle sighed and said: "The royal family's seizure of the concubine is of course bloody. The dispute between the family and the family is also a life-and-death tragedy."

I said softly: "Jing'er, do you think of the hunting palace again?"

A trace of grief flashed in the eyes of Princess Changle, and said: "How can I forget this incident, the eldest brother died of a rebellion, the sixth sister-in-law committed suicide, and the empress also committed suicide. Zhen'er really didn't want to remember this tragedy."

I walked to Princess Changle, gently embraced her in my arms, and said, "Don't think too much about it. This is what they deserved. Moreover, the love between you and me is also due to the change in the hunting palace, no For something else, just for this, you shouldn’t be so hurtful either."

Princess Changle couldn't help but blush. Although she had been knotted for nearly three years, she couldn't help but lose her attitude in public when she thought of the hunting palace that day, and she was still ashamed. I saw that she was no longer sad, so I said, "Since you don’t like to listen to the Yuejia family affairs, I won’t mention it. At this time, Shen'er should be awake. You can go and take a look. I have to read some documents. Well, it will not pass."

Princess Changle put away the embroidery and complained: "You said that you have left the court in the past two years and rested at ease, but you can't let go of these things. If you knew that, it would be better not to leave, even your hair changed. It's gray, why are you so troublesome!"

I couldn’t help but smiled bitterly: “Jing’er, I’ve told you a long time ago that my hair is helpless. Even though the Nine Turns Heart Protecting Pill saved my life, when I arrived in the East China Sea, Mr. Sang was working hard for me. It regulates the body, but the medicinal properties are still too strong, which makes my hair color like this. In the past few years, I have been calm and conscientiously recuperating my body. As for the trivial matters of Hai's and Yue's, it's just that I am idle. Boredom makes me relax, don’t you see me sleepless and sleepless, right?"

Princess Changle gave Jiang Zhe a white look and said, "Okay, I believe you are. If you hadn't helped your second brother at the beginning, you wouldn't have almost lost your life in Chang'an. You won't be allowed to fight like that in the future. You are me. Don’t know, the other day, as soon as the second brother’s letter arrived, you started to get busy. It seems that this leisurely day is about to end. I won’t stop you from doing things, but everything has to be relaxed, don’t be like It’s good to work hard as before."

I hurriedly said: "Surely, my wife's orders must not be disobeyed, or I will go to see Shen'er with you."

Princess Changle smiled and said: "Don't be fooling around, when I don't know, if I let you see him, I will definitely tease him again, he is just when he is sleeping. I don't know what kind of temper you are. , I’ve heard the second sister-in-law say before that you always bully and tease Lan'er secretly. Now even Shen'er doesn’t let it go. It’s really not like a father."

I couldn't help but shrank my neck. I didn't dare to argue with this. I teased my son and cried several times, but the princess caught him.

After the princess's figure disappeared, I withdrew my reluctant gaze, and went forward to examine the embroidery that the princess left. I found the blood stains on it, and I felt sad. In the past few years, the princess and I have been playing Harmony, but there is always some guilt in my heart. On that day, the princess and I eloped to the East China Sea and got married under the auspices of Mr. Sang. Not to mention the tedious etiquette of the princess marrying, even the basic six rituals are not available, and there are very few people watching the ceremony, except for the side Apart from a few people, there is no outsider. After I got married, I spent nearly half a year in retreat and taking medicine. The princess was nothing but a name, but the princess had no complaints, served with all her heart, and took care of the housework and taking care of her. Although Lan's responsibility was with the help of Dong Que and Zhou Shangyi, she was a lady of the sky. It took a lot of effort to clean up these trivial housework. It is the past two years that my body has improved greatly. Although the friendship between husband and wife is good, there is still temperance in the boudoir who still dare not indulge. The princess, as always, takes care of my daily diet. In order to regulate my body, she even took the medicated diet secret book from the royal family's collection to ask Mr. Sang. Now my meals are all prepared by the princess, and even Mr. Sang has to admire the princess's talent in this regard. Thinking of the little cakes that the princess occasionally cooks herself, I can't help but swallow a mouthful of water. The delicacy is unforgettable for a lifetime.

The princess is so affectionate, I should have lived with her for some leisurely days, but now I have to re-enter the world, although I don’t want to abandon this plain and peaceful life and return to the treacherous world, but This is also helpless. Li Zhi asked Huali to send a letter a few days ago, explaining the current situation, and asked me to go out to help, not to mention Li Zhi’s past favors, which was based on the face of Princess Changle. Don't care about it, if there is another misfortune to the Dayong imperial family, I am afraid that Changle will not be able to bear it. Besides, this is also a good opportunity for Princess Changle and the Supreme Emperor to reunite. In any case, the princess eloped and always annoyed Li Yuan. Now that he re-emerged under the emperor's order, it is possible for their father and daughter to fix it. Presumably, the princess will be happy. of. Moreover, I know even better that now I have become the son-in-law of Dayong's royal family. My destiny is closely related to Dayong. If Dayong can't dominate the world, then I don't want to live a peaceful life.

Looking at the stack of essays on the book case, I flipped through it again, a cold smile appeared on my face, and I said softly: "East China Sea, Yuejia, Northern Han, Nanchu!" The meaning of killing.

At the same moment, in the island port where Hou Donghai held the wedding for Aiko, on the boat sent by the Yue family in the South China Sea, in a very secret cabin, a young man with elegant appearance and elegant temperament was also present Looking through the documents, a silver lamp in the cabin without windows radiated a dim light, reflecting the face of this young man of nearly 30 years old, perhaps because of the light, the handsome young man’s face was full of vicious murderous intent. .

"Donghai, Yuejia!" the young man whispered, his eyes flashing with disdain. Putting down the documents in his hand, the young man took the silver lantern and walked to the corner of the cabin. There was an exquisite map hung on the bulkhead, drawing the territory of the original Eastern Jin Dynasty, which is now occupied by Dayong, Northern Han and Southern Chu. The territory is circled with different colors of paint. The young man's eyes fell on Binzhou in the north and Quanzhou in the south, revealing a icy smile, and then his eyes fell on the areas of Qinzhou and Zezhou where the North Han and Dayong faced each other. He said to himself: "The Northern Han Dynasty should take the opportunity to attack Dayong. They should not miss this opportunity. Although the loss of the East China Sea is not a fatal blow to Dayong, it is also a traumatic loss. There is another benefit to controlling the East China Sea. Maybe I can catch that person."

Thinking of that person, a look of deep hatred and disgust flashed across the youth's face, and he said fiercely: "Jiang Zhe, Li Zhen, I will never let you go, Li Zhen, you promise yourself chastity and refuse to marry in every possible way. For me, that’s all right, but you eloped with Jiang Zhe, such an innocence, what kind of face is there to live in the world."

Just as this young man showed a cruel and vicious look on his face, someone said outside: "First seat, everything is ready, the more news will come, if there is no accident, please don't take the first seat."

A trace of sarcasm flashed across the youth's face, and said: "Come in."

The hatch opened, and a thin-looking middle-aged man walked in. He respectfully said: "The first seat, the first seat of Yihuang Hall and the first seat of Fengwu Hall have letters, please indicate when to start."

The youth said indifferently: "What's the hurry, wouldn't it be better to wait for them to get hurt after both lose?"

The middle-aged man smiled slightly and said: "The more you are not correct, you can be regarded as a shrewd person. This time I actually got into the trap of the first seat, and it is really discredited. The first wise martial artist can be matched by those merchants. "

The youth did not have the slightest pride, and said: "I have suffered a miserable defeat before. I have eaten a bite and gained a wisdom. I have learned two things. One is that there are no weak people in the world, and the other If things are not successful, you can’t relax. The more you are not a stupid person, but his weakness is too obvious. Speaking of which, this is also the way of the Yue family’s inheritance that gave him too much ambition.

Speaking of, the ancestors of the Yue family were quite visionary at the time. He knew the truth that the rich could not be more than three generations, and the pampered descendants could hardly bear the responsibility, but he didn’t want his direct descendants to be replaced by collaterals, so he decided Such weird rules. Each generation of suzerain can choose a capable heir from the descendants to be the next generation suzerain. If all heirs are different, the suzerain can choose one of them as the deputy suzerain, and then designate the most outstanding and outstanding person in the clan as the chief deacon. The power is controlled by the chief deacon, and at the same time, the suzerain will designate a close person to protect the law. In this way, if there are talents among the descendants of the acting suzerain, the suzerain power can be taken back from the deacon in a logical manner with the help of the protector. If the third generation does not have a good heir, then the deacon can inherit the suzerain. The bit. In this way, it not only gives the collateral children of the clan the opportunity to seize the direct lineage, but also gives the direct line the greatest protection. Just imagine, if the acting suzerain who has been deprived of power does not know how to educate his son to regain power, then this branch will be replaced. It is also a matter of course. So after this rule was set, the Yue clan was passed down to seventeen generations. Although the direct line had lost power, they all regained it in the end. This is the reason why Yu Wuxian feels anxious and works with us.

Nowadays, Yue Wuling, the lord of the Yue clan, is mediocre, but he is not stupid. He has consolidated his power by marrying his sister to Donghai Hou Jiangyong, and now he wants to marry his beloved daughter Yueqingyan Little Hou Ye Jiang Haitao, his eldest son, the more Wenhan, is even more talented. You said that the more you can see that the power you get is about to be sent out again, how willing, we start from here, the more we have no right to be in power. The reason for the bait. "

The middle-aged man hesitated and said: "Nevertheless, Yue Wenhan is highly respected by the children of the Yue clan. If we help, the more non-correction, I am afraid that those people of the Yue family will not accept the less-correction as suzerain."

The young man laughed and said: "There are some things you don’t know. This Yue Wenhan is indeed a great talent, but he has done one thing that shouldn’t be done. He shouldn’t have blocked our way. There shouldn’t be such a person. A good sister who is dedicated to him, let alone marry such a concubine."

The middle-aged man suddenly said: "Is that Mrs. Xue also from Yihuangtang?"

The young man hesitated, and said: "This is not true. This Mrs. Xue was also our old acquaintance. She was originally from a noble background, but now, her father is also a court official of the first grade official residence. Ms. Jin Jin, if it weren’t for the wrong actions, how could she become someone’s concubine room. Speaking of which, the master, Ji Shouzu and Yan Shouzu still feel that Mrs. Xue has lost their face too much. However, anyway, if not Mrs. Xue persuaded the brothers and sisters of Yue Wenhan, I am afraid that they would have committed suicide long ago, and would not be at our mercy. Who made this Mrs. Xue good face and reluctant to let her husband know the old things in the past, if not for us to threaten her, how could she? Willing to submit."

Middle-aged humanity: "But the first seat originally promised. After the incident is completed, to save Yue Wenhan's life and let him help Mrs. Xue as the main room, the less he will agree to this matter?"

The young man sneered and said: "If you don’t agree, you can’t do it. Leaving Yue Wenhan is to contain the less correct, lest he is too arrogant. Anyway, Yue Wenhan will not have the ability to escape our palms. He committed The big sin, except Nan Chu and us, who can protect him."

After the young man said these words, the cabin fell into incomparable silence. He subconsciously recalled the hard work of the past few years. It was not easy for the hostile Nanchu to gain a foothold. Everyone in the door had their own thoughts. After two or three years of struggle, he finally regrouped the Fengyi Sect, grouped Fengwu Hall and Yihuang Hall, and dispersed the original influence of Fengyi Sect. Ji Xia and Yan Wushuang respectively led the two halls. The idea is not and often fights secretly, but he formed Chentang himself, recruited outsiders to get started, took on the work of peripheral affairs and charged the battle, on the surface, was neutral, but because the two halls attacked each other, let his Chentang become the most important force. The sect master Ling Yu had already raised the three halls a long time ago, and there was no other power besides a guard around him. And because I knew that Fengyi Sect was not where I could seize the ultimate power after all, so I wisely maintained Ling Yu’s position and balance within the gate. What a difficult process, I finally completely mastered Fengyi Sect. Started the revenge that he dreamed of. And he finally persuaded Shang Weijun to cooperate with him. For Shang Weijun, the Lu family, who controls the military power in one hand, was a great threat, even surpassing the threat of Da Yong's Nanchu. The self-destruction of the Great Wall is probably the hobby of the rulers of Southern Chu Dynasty.

Lu Can, there was a glimmer of coldness in the eyes of the young man. If it hadn’t been for this person to resist Da Yong now, he had long thought that Lu Can would die, not because of Shang Weijun’s waste, but because of Lu Can. Used to be his disciple. There seemed to be a ferocious beast roaring and crying in his chest, destroying everything that person left in the world. This was already the only obsession in his-Wei Ying-heart.

In the Xitang, after the heavy curtains, the bride is still waiting for auspicious time under the wait of the maid. The Yue clan is a famous family, and Yue Qingyan is the maid of the lord. The maid is like a cloud with rich makeup, come It was the bride’s immediate elder brother who was given off to marry. The young master, Yue Wenhan and the deacon of the Yue family, the more troublesome they were. Of course, they were already in the front Xitang. Apart from the Yue family’s female relatives, there were only Jiang’s servants in the back hall. . The one who takes care of the bride is not someone else, but Mrs. Xue, Yue Wenhan's concubine.

This Mrs. Xue has been married into the Yue family for nearly two years. This lady is a young lady whom Yue Wenhan met by chance. It is said that after the famous gate of the North, because he committed the crime of Huagai, she brought Qing Qing in Zizhu Temple, Putuo Mountain in the South China Sea. Xiu, the mother who passed away from Yue Wenhan to Putuo Mountain three years ago vowed to meet this Mrs. Xue inadvertently. She was quite in love and pursued hard, but this Mrs. Xue was frosty and refused repeatedly. After more than a year of hard pursuit, Yue Wenhan finally moved her. According to Yue Wenhan's intention, they wanted to marry her as the main house, but they were opposed by the Yue family's elders. They looked forward to Yue Wenhan and regarded him as the future suzerain. The marriage of the Yue family's suzerain cannot be easily decided. of. Although Xue has both good looks, but his origin is unknown, he can't be the main room. In desperation, Yue Wenhan turned to the Xue family to plead, hoping that she would marry herself as a concubine, and wait for the right time to right her. Unexpectedly, after Xue's thoughts behind closed doors for a few days, he actually agreed and said that he was not worthy to be Mrs. Yue. Although Yue Wenhan was strange, he was already in love, and he happily married Mrs. Xue. The relationship between the two was originally very good, but since the young lady’s wedding date was negotiated, the two seemed to have nothing but problems. Yue Wenhan suddenly became cold-hearted with Xue, but Xue did not care, and instead enthusiastically talked about the marriage of sister-in-law.

Led by the Jiang’s servant wife, Roulan and Li Lin, when they walked into the back hall, they saw that Xue was instructing the maid to make up for the bride~IndoMTL.com~ Xue was also 26 or 27 years old. Like a spring flower, the posture is like a willow, the expression is generous, the temperament is graceful, although the room is crowded, but under her command, it is in order. But the soft blue thoughts were all placed on the bride, and when I looked carefully, I saw that the bride was younger than 16 or 17 years old, weak and slender, with picturesque eyebrows, beautiful and elegant, although she was still young, she was already stunning. The appearance, if there is any shortcoming, is that the more blue smoke is too white, almost almost transparent, although beautiful, it is too pale and lacks blood. So Xue was applying rouge to her by himself, and after painting it carefully for a long time, he reluctantly let go. Xue must be good at grooming her face. With her skillful hands, Miss Yue seemed to be a little more **** and even more gorgeous. She was dressed in a red silk wedding gown with a phoenix crown and a rosy silk. The servant woman with the soft blue exclaimed, "The young lady is really good-looking, and the young master is really lucky."

The sound of her words shocked Xue and others. She smiled and said, "It turns out that it was Mother Li who has arrived. Is this?" Her eyes fell on Roulan and Li Lin.

The servant woman bowed and said: "Report to Mrs. Xue, this is Miss Lan, who is the daughter of Master Hou's teacher. Master Hou asked her to come to the back hall to see Mrs. Young."

Ms. Xue passed a ray of bright light in her eyes, and smiled: "It turns out to be Miss Lan, Qingyan, come see you."

Yue Qingyan was silent at first. Hearing Mrs. Xue’s words, he raised his head and looked to Roulan, with an inexplicable sorrow flashing through the eyes of Mingru Hanquan, and he leaned slightly and said, "Sister Lan." He stretched out his right hand and motioned Roulan to come to her. What a fibrous hand, ice muscle and snow skin, like a beautiful jade carving. Roulan walked to her and couldn't help holding the slender hand. The tentacles were cold for a while, Roulan couldn't help but wonder, could this bride be made of ice? Can not help but shiver.
