Please call me Your Majesty!

Chapter 142 Do you all like to tie up the three tribes? I, Huan Yi, can do it too! Just tell me whether you will help me become the queen!

How about the court.

Many people still have a clear understanding of this.

Huan Jie came to Chang'an with his own political demands.

There is no one who does not desire progress, and no one who does not desire fame and fortune. Even some people who claim that they are indifferent to fame and fortune are actually those who have to make excuses for themselves because they were dismissed by the court. They claim that they just do not want to be an official, not that they cannot be an official.

Liangzhou is a very small place, and the big families have already had enough after dividing it among themselves. If they want to further promote the influence of Liangzhou scholars, they have to have contact with Chang'an.

However, Huan Jie did not want to give up the power in his hands. He wanted more young men in his clan to be able to enter Chang'an.

After all, the food supplied to the big families in Liangzhou had been almost consumed, and power was almost entirely fought over by the most powerful families in Liangzhou.

There are only two options left for Liangzhou now. One is to export their Liangzhou scholars to other places to influence them. The other option is to launch a new round of internal power struggle and let the fittest survive.

The latter could easily shake the Huan family's foundation in Liangzhou.

Because it is impossible for the Huan family to always be the winner in Liangzhou, the ultimate winner.

But the former will not.

Huan Jie was in charge of Liangzhou for such a long time that he spent a lot of effort to build the Liangzhou gentry into a collective. He even formed a party on his own to seek the welfare of Liangzhou. This was also an attempt to consolidate the Huan family's position in Liangzhou.

In fact, Huan Jie knew in his heart that it would be best if he did not make any mistakes. If he made just one mistake, given the temperament of the Liangzhou gentry, they would wipe out the Huan family in a matter of minutes.

This time, Huan Jie, under tremendous pressure, joined forces with the famous Liangzhou families Duan and Huangfu to lift the siege of Chang'an, in order to open up a channel for the Liangzhou gentry to enter Chang'an.

This move not only eased the internal struggle in Liangzhou, but also expanded the influence of the Liangzhou gentry in the Chang'an area.

However, Huan Jie knew in his heart that it was still very difficult to truly allow the Liangzhou gentry to enter the circle of Chang'an. His elder brother Huan Sheng had been an official in Chang'an for ten years and was only now making some progress. This showed how unwelcome the Liangzhou gentry were in Chang'an.

Chu Shizhao could actually see that Huan Jie came to Chang'an with a purpose.

The situation of Huan Jie entering the capital told Chu Shizhao in advance that this man not only had ambitions but also had his own aspirations.

Moreover, Huanjie is different from Huansheng.

Huan Sheng's pursuit of fame and fortune is greater than others. This person is relatively pure. A rubbish job like reform is of no benefit to the family, but Huan Sheng dared to take it because he wanted to leave his name in history.

I just want to leave a good name as a famous official in history books.

It is also possible to stabilize your family and make it a powerful family.

Huan Jie was a traditional conservative among the aristocratic families. He thought more about his clan and local power.

His core goal was to make the Huan family a famous family in the Great Zhou Dynasty and have a transcendent status in Liangzhou. It would be best if the Huan family would be the leader in Liangzhou for generations.

"I heard that the Xiongnu were besieging Chang'an, so I came here in a hurry, but I didn't see any trace of the Xiongnu." Huan Jie hesitated for a moment and said, "Could it be that they are going south to plunder and knock on the gates again?"

He had traveled a long distance and had just arrived, so he didn't know what had happened in Chang'an. His words were mainly probing.

Huan Jie at that time also came to Chang'an with the same idea in mind. In his opinion, the Huns were unlikely to really fight, and it would be easy for him to gain fame by coming to support the king.

Chu Shizhao said calmly: "Our army raided the camp and won by a narrow margin."

Huan Jie frowned. In fact, he didn't quite understand. He could understand these words individually, but it was not easy to understand when they were put together.

Who robbed whose camp?

The Great Zhou raided the Huns’ camp?

A narrow win?
In field combat, the Liangzhou Army might not be able to withstand the Xiongnu’s tactics of cavalry and archery. Could the Sanfu Army, which had not been on the battlefield for a long time, be that capable of fighting?

It was not until Huan Jie arrived in Chang'an and saw the people lining the streets to welcome him that he was at least certain that Chang'an was indeed under siege. Otherwise, the Great Zhou Dynasty would not have put up such a grand display to welcome them.

Looking at the people's welcome, the soldiers of the Liangzhou Army had never experienced such a thing before. Each of them could not help but straighten his back a little to avoid losing his prestige.

No one can resist being looked at with admiration.

It's in my bones.

They fought for their lives in Liang Province, but they were just trying to make a living under those powerful families, and more importantly, they were trying to earn money for their lives. It was not until this time that they realized that they were not only soldiers under those powerful families, but also the border troops of the Great Zhou.

Especially when they were looked at with admiration by the children of the people of Chang'an, it touched the deep sense of honor in the hearts of the Liangzhou soldiers.

Huangfu Jian was most moved by such a scene. At this moment, he seemed to remember the family motto of his ancestors for the Huangfu family.

Chu Shizhao noticed the change in Huangfu Jian's expression.

In the simulation, many details show that not all the military leaders in Liangzhou are ambitious.

Huan Jie was a rebellious and ambitious man who wanted to preserve his family's status in Liang Province and changed his stance according to the circumstances.

Huangfu Jian was truly the one who awakened the general spirit of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

When Huan Jie entered the capital and took control of the court, Huangfu Jian was secretly won over. After discussing with the ministers, Huangfu Jian was deceived by the powerful families in Chang'an into mutiny. In the name of punishing traitors to the country, he sacrificed himself for the court and became the winner in the game between the ministers and Huan Jie.

In the end, Huangfu Jian's rebellion failed to defeat Huan Jie and he was killed. Duan Qi, as a double-dealer and a local faction, wanted to restore his image after doing bad things. He whitewashed himself by killing Huan Jie, and came to power through an imperial edict, replacing Huan's position in Liangzhou, thus allowing the Duan family to rise.

These three men are all truly capable generals.

But they all died in internal strife, which made Chu Shizhao very sorry.

Chu Shizhao has always believed that there are no minister cards that are not used well, only monarchs who use them on the wrong people.

Just say how ruthless Zhang Fu is!

He was a majestic and dignified man throughout his life, with outstanding military achievements and both civil and military skills. He was a well-deserved hero in the Jingnan Campaign and a god of war in Zhu Di's hands.

He participated in the entire Jingnan Campaign, quelled the Annan Rebellion, incorporated Jiaozhi into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, took part in Zhu Di's many northern expeditions, and followed Ming Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji to quell the rebellion of the vassal king Zhu Gaoxu.

The Battle of Tumu was won on the spot by the Emperor Zhu Qizhen.

Han Xin, the military genius who believed that the more the better, initially served under Xiang Yu. Was he useful? He was unable to perform at all and was not given any room to develop.

Liu Bang just waved his hand and Han Xin helped Liu Bang sweep across the world.

There are also Wei Qing and Huo Qubing.

These two superb SSR general cards, if you put them in other people's place, would they be able to use them?
Wei Qing was originally a riding slave, a servant of a horse-riding attendant.

Huo Qubing was the illegitimate son of a female slave in the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion and Huo Zhongru, a minor official in Pingyang County. Despite his background, in the Han Dynasty, which had already begun to establish a hierarchical system, Emperor Liu Che not only used them, but also increased their status and power.

Without Liu Che, Huo Qubing would have hardly found a place to put his talents to use and room to display his abilities.

Many things, many people, and many situations complement each other.

Although Huan Jie had been a rebel, Chu Shizhao still dared to use him.

Although Jiajing in The Ming Dynasty 1566 said a lot of words that switched concepts and interpreted selfishness as selflessness, there was one sentence that Chu Shizhao thought was fine.

There is no so-called truly virtuous minister. Sometimes, it is not up to these ministers to decide whether they are virtuous or not. When they are virtuous, they are used; when they are not, they are dismissed. This is the hard truth. Moreover, Chu Shizhao is in urgent need of external forces to strengthen his own power. It is difficult for him to supplement the combat power of Chang'an as a team.

Coincidentally, the people of Liangzhou had no roots in Chang'an, but there was no shortage of scholars who wanted to gain a foothold in Chang'an. For Chu Shizhao, this felt like timely rain.

What he lacks in Chang'an is people.

After taking care of the Liangzhou Army's residence in Chang'an, Chu Shizhao told them that Emperor Yongjin would host a banquet for these loyal generals tonight.

Above Huan Mansion.

Huan Jie, who had just arrived, was met by his younger sister Huan Yi.

"Second brother." Huan Yi knew very well that her second brother and eldest brother had different ambitions and ideas, but she dared to take a gamble on Chu Shizhao.

Huan Jie originally thought that it was his sister who hadn't seen him for a long time, so he came to talk to him about family matters, but he saw Huan Yi said earnestly: "What do you think of His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin?"

The smile froze instantly.

"I don't know everything about Chang'an, but I heard that my brother wants to assist this person." Huan Jie said after hesitating for a moment.

"But I have a different opinion." Huan Jie thought deeply and said, "Since ancient times, the eldest son has been chosen over the youngest son, and the legitimate heir has been chosen over the most virtuous. Although I am in a high position and have great power now, my eldest brother still has the final say in clan affairs."

"Prince Jin is the fourth in line of succession. He is neither the eldest son nor the legitimate son. It is too difficult for him to ascend to the throne."

"My Huan family is mainly engaged in Liangzhou. Blindly joining the game is a way to self-destruction. In my opinion, since my brother has helped the King of Jin, I will show my goodwill to the East Palace. If the situation changes, we will have room for maneuver."

After coming into contact with Chu Shizhao, Huan Jie had a good feeling towards him, but feelings are feelings and interests are interests. One cannot give up all his property to help someone just because he has a good feeling about him.

This depends on the return ratio.

What Huan can get from helping Chu Shizhao is the key.

The most important thing is that Huan Jie has not seen Chu Shizhao's ability yet. It is impossible to ask Huan Jie to work for Chu Shizhao based on just a few meetings now.

One person said that in the simulation, Huan Yi thought that her elder brother was not very smart and had to change the law to play with the lives of the three clans.

Her second brother was equally stupid and insisted on going to the capital to seize power. No matter how powerful he became, he would also play with the lives of three families.

What did I do wrong that I have to be tied to you two?

In reality, she tried her best to restore order and lead her brother onto the right path.

Huan Sheng's illness was cured, but her second brother became ill again.

If Chu Shizhao had not turned the tide once again and demonstrated his strength, Chang'an's military forces would have been wiped out by the Huns. Huan Yi would now be worried that his second brother was planning to hold the emperor hostage, control the court, and become a powerful official again.

I have carefully selected a good lord for you two, but he insists on going the other way. Looking at your career paths, it’s really possible to predict the end at a glance.

After going through her own simulation, it was amazing that she could resist scolding her two brothers.

The difficulty for Huan Yi now is that he doesn't know how to guide them.

You know, some people are just mean.

No matter how nicely you try to persuade him point by point, he will insist on playing a game of chess with you and develop a rebellious mentality.

Very opinionated.

Just give him the answer and he shouldn't copy it. He should have his own ideas.

The most incredible thing is that when you speak to them in a contrary way, they will follow your thinking.

Huan Yi sat on a chair beside him and said quietly, "I want to marry His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin. Can you help me, second brother?"

Huan Jie was very surprised and immediately jumped up from his chair, "Really?"

"It's true." Huan Yi said seriously, "So, whether or not you are willing to help the King of Jin is up to you."

"Anyway, I will marry the King of Jin by then. If I lose the fight for the throne and my three clans are implicated, it won't be my fault."

Huan Yi now understands.

To deal with those who like to tie up three tribes, you also have to learn this trick.

Doesn’t my elder brother like to change his ways whenever he wants to deal with all the big clans in the world and annihilate his own three clans?

Wouldn't the second brother like to go to the capital and watch the court become empty, become a powerful official, and undermine the emperor so that he can get stuck in the quagmire and be implicated?
I will marry His Royal Highness Prince Jin as a concubine. Prince Jin wants to participate in the fight for the throne. If he fails, the rest of the people who follow Prince Jin will die.

I am King Jin's man, so it's normal for you two to be dealt with together.

Just tell me whether you can help or not!

If you don't help, you'll just die.

Huan Jie listened to Huan Yi's words, hesitated for a moment and said: "Brother, have you also decided to help His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin?"

Huan Yi said helplessly: "If it weren't for my elder brother's help, how could the Prince of Jin be so successful now? His Highness the Prince of Jin is now deeply favored by the emperor and is quite favored."

Huan Jie paced for a while and then asked, "What are his abilities?"

If you want Huan Jie to work hard, you also need to look at his background. It is impossible to make Huan Jie devote all with just one sentence.

Of course, Huan Yi was actually threatening by saying this.

"It was His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin who lifted the siege of Chang'an." When Huan Yi talked about Chu Shizhao's abilities, there were so many things to talk about. On this point, Huan Yi had his own opinions and views.

Ever since she followed Chu Shizhao once in the simulation, Huan Yi has become Chu Shizhao's permanent concubine card.

She couldn't find any problems with Chu Shizhao's behavior.

The most annoying thing was that her position in the harem was very unstable, and people often came to hinder Huan Yi's position on Chu Shizhao's side.

Competitors like Li Fengning and Yin Meiyu put Huan Yi under unprecedented pressure.

When it comes to fighting, Huan Yi feels that he is not as good as Li Fengning. When it comes to mood and emotion, Huan Yi feels that he is not as good as Yin Meiyu.

However, this is Huan Yi's own competition and her battlefield.

It has little to do with her elder and second brothers.

But Huan Yi paused, and thought of Li Fengning's father Li Jin, and her two fighting brothers.

Shit, no.

The dowry cannot be inferior to others. If the mother's family is weak, the position in the harem will be in jeopardy.

You two must do your job well and don't be inferior to others!
Thinking of this, Huan Yi's fighting spirit was ignited in an instant.
