Chapter 269 Top Secret Mission (2)

Many people don’t understand Wu Meiniang’s origin. This warrior was a founding hero and was already a third-rank official in his life. After his death, he was even given the title of the first-rank official. How could Duke Ying be a poor family?

Where can I start with this poor family?

But poor families are poor families. It is not that you can become a nobleman as big as your official position or richer. Even if you are the prime minister, you are also a poor family and cannot become a nobleman. △¢But poor families are not just ordinary people, they are so poor that they are very poor.

The key to the difference between aristocrats and poor families lies in their surnames, not in their official rank, otherwise why would the Shandong gentry look down on Li Shimin? They are all emperors.

This surname is divided into big surnames and small surnames. The Wu family is a local small surname, who has been farmers for generations and is not a good person. The warrior became a high-ranking official entirely with his outstanding personal ability. This is the counterattack of **si. It can be seen that Wu Zetian's power is not out of thin air. She has a father with outstanding abilities and her genes are still very strong.

Although Li Shimin had revised the "Clan Chronicle" and re-divided the nobles, saying that they were calculated by crowns, Li Shimin said it was nice, not really trying to promote common people and defeat the nobles, but to consolidate the political status of the Guanlong Group, including their Li family in Longxi.

In addition, it is to suppress the Shandong gentry because the Shandong gentry looked down on Li Shimin and balanced its power. However, it was not recognized by most people. The Shandong gentry is still as stable as Mount Tai, and it still does not abandon Li Shimin. But even so, the Wu family is not among them. The Wu family is still a small surname in the same place, and there has been no change.

I think Luo Binwang once wrote a manifesto to attack Wu Zetian, which revealed her family background at the beginning, saying that she was "the land was really cold, and she used to be the minister of Emperor Taizong, and she used to change clothes to serve as a servant." Anyway, she wrote off her identity as the daughter of the general.

What's funny is that Xu Jingye is qualified to attack Wu Zetian precisely because he is a descendant of Li Ji, the governor of Yangzhou, a wealthy family.

Li Ji and Wu Shi Teng have both been the Grand Governor of Yangzhou, the Grand Governor General, and the official ranks are exactly the same, but in Luo Binwang's writings, the Grand Governor of the poor is not the governor at all, and even nothing is there. This is the concept of surnames under the ninth rank system.

In today's world, there are truly super wealthy families, such as the Li family in Longxi, Cui family in Qinghe, Lu family in Fanyang, Wang family in Taiyuan, Xiao family in Lanling, Pei family in Hedong, etc. The Changsun family and the Chu family are not among them. They are powerful and nobles, but they are also small nobles, and they are not considered wealthy families. For example, Fang Xuanling, who was born in a family of officials, but he was also from a poor family. However, later Fang Xuanling and the Lu family in Fanyang married each other and had a different status.

Li Shimin revised the "Clan Chronicle". One of the purposes was to promote the Changsun family and rank second. It was only under the royal family. Of course, the Shandong gentry had never admitted it, and the people were more inclined to the Shandong gentry.

The current Empress Wang, the Wang family in Taiyuan, was the princess as soon as they entered the palace. Later, the Princess, and now the Princess, has become the queen.

Concubine Xiao, and Xiao from Lanling, obtained the rank of Concubine Shu as soon as they entered the palace.

What about Wu Zetian? She did not benefit from his father's glory. If it weren't for Li Zhi, she would have been buried with her, so Wu Zetian would not have enjoyed the glory that his father had received. Once the warrior died, the Wu family would basically withdraw from the central government. This is an embarrassing situation in the poor family. They may gain power once, but they cannot continue. The nobles can do it. Look at the prime ministers of the Sui and Tang dynasties, ninety-most of them were from nobles.

You are a poor woman who wants to be a queen, and if you have a queen, this is not an easy task!

The wife of Emperor Wen of Sui, Empress Dugu, the daughter of Dugu Xin, one of the eight pillars. The wife of Emperor Yang of Sui, Empress Xiao, and the daughter of the Xiao clan of Lanling. Li Yuan's wife, Empress Dou, the daughter of Dou Yi, the general of Dingzhou of Northern Zhou, and the eldest princess of Xiangyang of Northern Zhou. Li Shimin's wife, Empress Changsun, and the daughter of Changsun Sheng, the general of the Right Guard of the Sui Dynasty, including Li Zhi now.

Which queen is not from a prominent family or a wealthy family?

Therefore, if Wu Zetian wants to be praised, the first thing she has to face is the problem of her origin.

Although there are many reasons why Wu Zetian promoted the cold clan in large numbers later, one thing that cannot be ignored is that Wu Zetian also came from a poor family. If she supports the nobles, wouldn’t she be opposed to herself?

Having said that, Han Yi vaguely understood that if Wu Zetian wanted to be called, it would be the struggle between poor families and nobles. As a noble, Changsun Wuji must stand opposite Wu Zetian. No matter from which aspect to analyze it, you should know that Empress Wang is originally from the Guanlong Group.

However, "White Life and Death Love" tells the story of a love process between a poor family and a noble, which is very similar to the difficulties Wu Zetian faces now.

Nowadays, dramas are becoming popular, and all nobles and poor families like to watch them. This will invisibly relieve a lot of pressure on Wu Zetian.

Cui Jieren grasped this point. He believed that Changsun Wuji would not lose his big picture because of a small matter and would definitely give up the drama. This is equivalent to giving up Han Yi, because compared to Wu Zhaoyi, Han Yi is nothing.

If Changsun Wuji had not had the power of the Cui family, he could have managed Han Yi to death with a little bit of Han Yi's hand. The difference in status was too huge.

The mystery in his mind was finally solved, but Han Yi was even more confused. Where was this opportunity? Why did Changsun Wuji come to him? Just give up him, which was nothing to Changsun Wuji. He asked: "Can you do something for your uncle?"

This question is very interesting, or it can be said to be very direct. He knew that Changsun Wuji would not be trying to comfort him. You can die with peace of mind. If I help you take care of your family, he will definitely have value in using it.

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "Actually, it's not difficult for me to protect you, but in this way, it's just right that Cui Jie's thoughts. Because he also knows that I'm afraid of something, he went to you first and asked you to leave Chang'an automatically. On the one hand, it can demonstrate the demeanor of their Cui family, and on the other hand, it can leave room for himself. If he goes directly to the court to sue you, if I intervene, then their Cui family will lose face and even impeach a brothel who opens a brothel. This will affect the reputation of their Cui family and the reputation they have taken the most."

Han Yi nodded and said, "This kid also thought of it, but he doesn't know what his uncle meant?"

Changsun Wuji said: "This is the problem that Cui Jieren has set for me. If you protect you and let the drama continue to be performed, wouldn't I be a wedding dress for Wu Zhaoyi? But if you let you leave Chang'an or not let the drama continue to be performed, wouldn't I tell others that I lost to Cui Jieren and shot myself in the foot. Both options are not the best strategy for me. The best strategy is that I will not protect you, but also let you stay in Chang'an, and let the drama continue to be performed, but the result is that I win."

Han Yi suddenly had an idea in his mind, but he felt that the idea was too bold and did not dare to speak nonsense, saying, "What should that kid do?"

Changsun Wuji said, "I guess that someone else may come forward to protect you."

As expected, Han Yi was shocked and said, "Is the uncle talking about Wu Zhaoyi?"

Changsun Wuji nodded.

Han Yi dared not believe it: "But Wu Zhaoyi will come forward to protect me for this drama?"

"I'm not sure about this."

Changsun Wuji waved his hand and said, "But I think there is a possibility. Your drama is very influential in Chang'an now, which is why I first watched it, but just for drama, maybe it is not possible. The key is that you still have the ability.

Wu Zhaoyi's ambitions far exceed my expectations. I'm not afraid to tell you that the harem is actually completely in the hands of Wu Zhaoyi. But the harem is just His Majesty's home, so I think that Wu Zhaoyi's next step is to get involved in the power of the court. Without the support of the power of the court, Wu Zhaoyi would not be able to ascend to the position of the subordinate. In the long run, she will definitely cultivate her own power.

Another thing I mentioned earlier is that Wu Zhaoyi's father was also a businessman, which is very similar to you, so Wu Zhaoyi will never treat you like a noble. There is no barrier between you. On the contrary, there is a certain connection. This is the opportunity I mentioned."

Han Yi still felt a little incredible and said, "But Wu Zhaoyi is in the harem, how can she come forward to protect me?"

Changsun Wuji laughed: "She really doesn't have the ability to protect you, but Your Majesty has it. As for how to protect you, I don't know. Moreover, this is my guess. As for whether Wu Zhaoyi will take action, I am not sure. On the contrary, the possibility is relatively small, but the old lady thinks that there must be this possibility."

Having said that, Changsun Wuji's intention was already very obvious. If Han Yi didn't understand it anymore, he would be a fool and said, "My uncle means, let me lurk beside Wu Zhaoyi?"

Changsun Wuji nodded.

Han Yi said: "But I have always had contacts with my uncle. If Wu Zhaoyi really wanted to recruit me, she would not know how she could trust me."

Changsun Wuji said: "This is why I asked you to meet here today. Cui Jieren thought that I would definitely not lose my big deal because of a small mistake. Similarly, Wu Zhaoyi would definitely think this way, and she would definitely be watching. What is my attitude towards this matter? As long as I don't come forward, you will be in despair, and Wu Zhaoyi will take action at this time."

Han Yi completely understood that Changsun Wuji was just playing tricks, but he thought it was incredible and almost laughed: "Uncle, I'll ask, "You guy, for such a big thing, you actually chose a boy? Is this a bit too hasty?"

"I just like you, even if you think so, Wu Zhaoyi will definitely not be suspicious."

"It's because of this?"

Han Yi was surprised.

It is undeniable that Changsun Wuji's words make sense. Han Yi has just been in Chang'an for a long time, and he is also a young man who is less than the age of a young man in his prime. No one would believe that Changsun Wuji would choose Han Yi.

But conspiracies are often born in the most unexpected places of the other party.

If everyone knows the truth and takes every step forward, it will be difficult to decide the outcome.

"Of course not." Changsun Wuji sighed and said, "Although I am the Grand Marshal, the harem is the harem, and the court is the court. Both sides have always had well water and river water. It is a taboo for either side to interfere with the other side. Moreover, I am still a relative of the outside world, which is even more a taboo among the taboos. Therefore, I have no way to deal with Wu Zhaoyi at the moment, and the queen can't beat her, so the harem is controlled by Wu Zhaoyi. It is said that knowing yourself and your enemy will never be defeated. I must be clear about what Wu Zhaoyi plans? Otherwise, she is in the dark, I am in the bright, and I will always be passive."

Han Yi smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect that my uncle trusted the boy so much that he actually handed over this important task to him."

Changsun Wuji said: "You are the best candidate and the only candidate."

Han Yi said: "Aren't my uncle afraid that I will betray you?"

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "If your betrayal can shake me, it proves that the situation is already quite unfavorable for me. In addition, I see everything you have done these days. Although you sometimes like to play clever and conspiracy, you still do a very good job in big troubles. I think you can be worthy of your belief."

Han Yi just listened to this, and of course he knew in his heart that the reason why Changsun Wuji chose him was because he had no background and was not his direct descendant. Even if he spread the word Changsun Wuji said to him today, people would not believe it. How could a dignified uncle, how could he tell you, a poor boy?

In addition, Changsun Wuji cannot move Wu Zhaoyi, but it is easier to move Han Yi than to breathe. Even if Han Yi relies on Wu Zetian to become an official, he does not need to be afraid of Han Yi at all. Once he finds something wrong, he can eliminate it in time. Moreover, from Han Yi's perspective, following Changsun Wuji is of course better than following Wu Zhaoyi, because now the two sides are not of the same level, one Zhaoyi and the other the Grand Marshal, and a fool will also choose the side.

Therefore, Changsun Wuji thought that Han Yi would betray him and went to surrender to a woman who had no power in the court, unless Han Yi became an eunuch.

Han Yi felt that he was very innocent. He wanted to take office, but he definitely did not take office in this way. One was Wu Zetian and the other was Changsun Wuji, both of them were super conspirators. If you were not careful, you would definitely be a piece of corpse.

But Han Yi had no choice, and Changsun Wuji had even given him a guarantee. If he refused, God knew what Changsun Wuji would treat him, and said, "But if Wu Zhaoyi didn't take action, what should I do?"

After all, this is just Changsun Wuji's guess. It seems to make sense, but it is actually quite outrageous. God knows whether Wu Zetian will take action!

Changsun Wuji pondered slightly and said, "Go back to Yangzhou first. As for your affairs with the Qin family, I will let someone settle them. In addition, I will ask Yang Sine to help you work in the army and accumulate merits in Yangzhou first. When the time is ripe, I will transfer you to Chang'an."

Of course, he would not lose his big mistakes because of a small loss, and he had already lost for a while. He could not allow any factors that could help Wu Zhaoyi ascend to God in Chang'an. If Han Yi could use this to lurk beside Wu Zhaoyi, then he would be able to accept it.

This seems very bold, but in fact, for Changsun Wuji, the price he paid was very small, just a small man. Why don’t he bet? Even if it doesn’t happen, it doesn’t matter.

Han Yi said: "I can't stop acting in this drama."

Changsun Wuji laughed: "If Your Majesty asked you to act, how could you not act?"

This sentence is very meaningful, which means that Li Zhi also wanted to make Wu Zhaoyi the queen.

Although Han Yi can stop acting now, Changsun Wuji is also afraid that someone will use Han Yi and will fuel the fire on the road to Wu Zhaoyi's victory.

Han Yi took a deep breath and said, "Uncle, please don't blame Han Yi for being snob. I want to know, what can I get if I help you win this battle?"

"It's okay, it's okay, this is what it should be. If you don't say this, I'm still uneasy." Changsun Wuji waved his hand and smiled, and said, "I will find a way to modify your ancestral genealogy and help you join the Han family in Nanyang, so that you can become a nobleman, and recognize Han Yuan, the current subordinate minister, as his cousin. As long as you can become a nobleman, it's no problem to rise to the top."

Your sister, after talking for a long time, she changed my ancestors.

Han Yi cursed inwardly, but you should know that this is what many people dream of. In this era, as long as you become a noble, you will have a bright future, even if you are a **, because it means everything. Take a deep breath and say, "Then what should I do next?"

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "Go with the flow."
