Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning
Chapter 682 Sauvignon Blanc 44
Xuan wants to pull the academy into Xiyan's political situation as a third party to clean up the clan's power, or even prepare to completely weaken the clan in the future. That depends on whether Jiang Xinxin and Shi Ying are willing to accept it.
However, once Xuan set out, basically everything he wanted was achieved.
Shi Ying taught Hao Lingyi the art of slaying dragons. However, after hearing the news that Xi Xuan was coming to the academy with a large number of court officials, Hao Lingyi could not help but fall on his seat and burst into tears.
Shi Ying was used to the change of dynasties. Even though he was Hao Lingyi's master, he just sighed a little. "What I taught you depends on whether you use it or not, and how you use it. Hao Ling did lose the opportunity a long time ago, but that doesn't mean you should let it go and do nothing."
After being reminded by Shi Ying, Hao Lingyi quickly straightened up and wiped away his tears, "Thank you for your guidance, Master. I understand the path I should take in the future."
Although Haoling Jiuyao, who lacked political sensitivity, could not understand the deep meaning of Xuan's move and the impact it would have on Haoling, she intuitively felt that Xuan's move was detrimental to Haoling Country and even to the academy. Her disappointment with Xuan deepened again. She then thought again of Chen Rongjun, of which only the remnants of Hongjiang were left, and naturally she felt infinite melancholy in her heart.
By the time Xuan's ceremonial procession arrived outside Qingshui Town, the remaining forces in the hands of the Fifth King and the Seventh King had already been wiped out by him. Now, those people he brought with him who had originally opposed him were either dead or injured, and were no longer able to stop him from monopolizing power. He even stopped his own secret guards from teaching Hong Jiang a small lesson. Although Hong Jiang did not suffer any serious injuries, he did lose a lot of manpower.
As a result, the clans in the Central Plains once again stopped supporting Hong Jiang, both openly and secretly. It seemed that Hong Jiang had once again reached the same desperate situation, and the situation was more dangerous than before.
Xuan sent Chishui Fenglong and Fangfeng Bei, who claimed to have recovered, to contact the academy. The academy was not in a position to let the sisters Haoling Jiuyao and Haoling Yi come forward, so Qingye and Ye Shiqi represented the academy and went to Qingshui Town to discuss the specific procedures.
Jiang Xinxin didn't want to meet Dixuan, and Shi Ying not only didn't force her, but they even decided with her not to let Dixuan visit the academy.
Regarding this point, even Chishui Fenglong, who seemed a little stupid, knew that Xuan would definitely not agree. Fangfeng Bei pretended to propose that Jiang Xinxin and Shi Ying personally go down the mountain to Qingshui Town to meet Xuan. Qingye also rejected it outright because Buzhou Mountain was not under the jurisdiction of any country, and the academy was even less under the jurisdiction of any country.
The two sides met and argued for a while but ultimately failed to reach a consensus. However, Chishui Fenglong recognized Ye Shiqi as Tu Shanjing. After the meeting, he reported the whole matter to Xuanxuan.
Xuan was a little skeptical at first. "I didn't know the truth about Tushan Jing's disappearance at first, but later I found a lot of clues. The reason was that the Tushan brothers had a quarrel, and the old lady Tushan was only concerned with mediating the matter."
"Although I still don't know what happened to Tu Shanjing, it's not to the extent that he gave up his huge family business."
Chishui Fenglong insisted that he was not wrong, and Xuan also believed that Chishui Fenglong would not hide or deceive him on such a matter. After sending Chishui Fenglong away, he ordered the secret guard to personally investigate the child of Tushan Fangfeng Yiying and the matter of Ye Shiqi.
To be honest, Xuan had been thinking about Tushan for a long time.
As an old and large clan that is older than the Western Yan Kingdom, the Tushan clan's influence was only second to that of the royal family of the Chenrong clan. After the demise of the Chenrong Kingdom, the Tushan clan, as the leader of the four major clans in the Central Plains, could almost directly compete with the Western Yan Kingdom. Therefore, over the years, the four major clans secretly supported the Chen Rong army in making trouble, and Western Yan had no way to stop it.
At this moment, Xuanxuan only regretted that when the news of Tushan Jing's disappearance first came, he was still a hostage of Haoling Kingdom, and he had no useful power in his hands to do anything with Tushan clan.
However, the current head of Tushan clan is a minor. It will take at least three or four hundred years for him to be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of Tushan clan. Therefore, as long as something happens to Fang Feng Yiying, the mother, the young head of Tushan clan will be of no use.
However, Xuan had never thought of making the Tushan clan disappear completely before unifying the Great Wilderness. After all, the lesson of Chichen was still there. If he dared to directly annex the Tushan clan and make the name of the Tushan clan disappear from the Great Wilderness, then other clans would only unite and directly shake the foundation of the Western Yan Kingdom.
Xuanxuan's secret intention to turn Tushan clan into a complete puppet in his hands might be hidden from the world, but it could not be hidden from Fangfeng Yiying who also regarded Tushan clan as her own. Even though she had given up the idea of completely swallowing up Tushan clan and now only wanted to stay in power for two or three hundred years to satisfy herself, her intuition told her that Xuanxuan had no good intentions towards Tushan clan.
So, under her deliberate precautions, it turned out that Xuan, who was away from home, actually tried to plant a stalk in Tushan's family, especially since someone had already gotten close to her child Tushan Zhen!
You know, before Xuan hadn't offended Fangfeng Yiying, she had tried to assassinate Xuan several times. But this time, Xuan went straight to her child, which was really a setback!
Turning around, Fangfeng Yiying invited Chen Rongxinyue, who was already the Queen of Xiyan. Chen Rongxinyue and Fangfeng Yiying used to have a friendship like that of cheap best friends. Now that Fangfeng Yiying is in charge of Tushan clan, her power has reached a higher level. Even though Chen Rongxinyue has become the Queen, she will only try harder to maintain this friendship.
So Fangfeng Yiying soon met Chen Rong Xinyue.
Two married women always speak without restraint, especially when it comes to love between men and women. Chen Rong Xinyue felt sorry for Fang Feng Yiying who was left as a widow by Tu Shanjing, so Fang Feng Yiying smiled and said that Xuanxuan valued the two princesses of Haoling Kingdom more, because one of them was Xuanxuan's legitimate cousin, and they had depended on each other for a period of time when they were young, which was difficult for ordinary people to replace, and the other was Xuanxuan's little sister who was brought up by himself, so naturally the relationship between them was very deep.
Fang Feng Yiying's words made Chen Rong Xinyue lose her smile. She had backed off before, when Di Xuan had not yet become successful, even though no one else knew about this except her family, even though Di Xuan later married her as a queen, even though it seemed that Di Xuan spent the most time with her, but there was still Shu Hui, a person who could not be ignored, between them.
Chen Rong Xinyue could even notice that when Xuan married Shuo Shuhui that day, he was wearing the same red dress as Shuo Shuhui, and he walked into the house hand in hand with Shuo Shuhui with a smile on his face. The ceremony was held at Chaoyang Peak, which was even more meaningful to Xuan.
She herself looked more noble than Xuan Shuhui, but Xuan was wearing a black casual suit that day and did not show any solemnity. There was not much joy on his face, and they did not hold hands.
Chen Rong Xinyue was easily broken down by Fang Feng Yiying's words. She immediately sent a letter to her brother Chi Shui Fenglong, asking him to help keep an eye on Xuan and not let Xuan be alone with the two princesses Hao Ling.
Chishui Fenglong didn't understand the girl's sudden sixth sense. He just felt that his sister valued Xuan too much, which was not a good thing because Xuan would marry a princess of the Haoling family sooner or later.
Therefore, Chishui Fenglong not only did not agree to his sister's request, but took the opportunity to write a letter back to persuade her to be more open-minded, because Xuanxuan will definitely have more than one woman in the future, and the queen may even marry several.
Chen Rong Xinyue was almost furious at Chishui Fenglong's straightforward words. She turned around and wrote a letter to Xuan herself. She actually reminded Xuan to find husbands for Hao Ling Jiuyao and Hao Lingyi, and even specified a range. She wanted to choose from the academy, saying that the students in the academy were always from the same school as the two Hao Ling princesses, so at least their character and talent were guaranteed.
When Xuanxuan received the letter, veins popped out of his forehead. However, he still wanted to use Chishui Fenglong, and he couldn't turn against Chen Rong Xinyue, or even say anything harsh. He could only remind Chishui Fenglong tactfully that the two princesses, Princess Haoling, still had relatives alive, so even if they wanted to see a husband, it was not his cousin's turn to intervene.
