History’s Strongest Husband

Jin Zhuo, the Earl of Xuanwu, was in a very depressed mood.

Because, he just got the list of guests attending Zhang Jin and Xu Qianqian's engagement ceremony.

The situation is very bad.

The prefect Zhang Chong finally showed his fierce fangs.

There is already a faint stance of besieging the Xuanwu Earl's Mansion from all directions.

A few guests that the Earl thought should not be present actually attended.

The first one is Tang Yun, the eldest son of the Earl's Mansion of Jinhai in the north.

There is a conflict between you Jin Haibo and my Xuanwu uncle, but it is also a conflict between us old nobles?

Now you are blatantly siding with the New Deal faction, what do you mean?

The second one is Nangongping, the second son of Zhenbeihou.

Nangong Ao, Marquis of Zhenbei, was a famous general of the Yue Kingdom, commanding the northern army.

He is an aristocrat, somewhere between the new aristocracy and the established aristocracy.

First of all, he has a fief, but it is not very big, only 800 square kilometers.

Because his ancestor was only a third-class earl. After Nangong Ao joined the army, he went south and north and made great achievements. The monarch decreed to promote his title to marquis.

For a long time, this Zhenbeihou was a neutral faction.

Unbiased between the old aristocrats and the New Deal.

And now, he actually sent his second son to attend Zhang Jin's engagement.

This is a very bad signal, which means that Zhenbei Hou's position is shifting.

And the third guest was the one Earl Xuanwu wanted to see the most.

Envoy of Yinyuan.

What will Yinyuan do?

It is one of the several big banks in the entire Dayan Dynasty, holding astronomical wealth and doing business in more than a dozen countries.

Over the past few hundred years, Yinyuanhui has had a very good relationship with the veteran nobles, and their mutual interests have been very close.

It can be said that Yinyuanhui is the most solid backing for the veteran nobles.

In the past, Yinyuanhui and the Xinzheng faction drew a clear line, and there was almost no interest relationship.

And now, Yinyuanhui sent envoys to attend Zhang Jin's wedding?

What signal is this?

Could it be that Yinyuanhui also changed its position?

This is nothing less than a catastrophe for the Xuanwu Earl's Mansion and the entire veteran nobles.

The most important thing is!

The foundation of Earl Xuanwu's Mansion is also in the hands of Yin Yuanhui.

Yin Yuanhui was the creditor of the huge debt owed by the previous generation of Earl Xuanwu.

Not to mention that Yinyuan would directly come to ask for debts, even if they disclosed the financial situation of Earl Xuanwu's Mansion, it would be a huge disaster.

After hesitating for a long time, the Earl approached Shen Lang, and said in a rarely gentle tone: "Lang'er, don't go to Zhang Jin and Xu Qianqian's engagement."

Hearing this, Shen Lang immediately refused.

"What if I don't go?" Shen Lang said: "She is my ex-wife after all, a one-night couple and a hundred days of grace."

Being a man has a refreshing point, which is probably something that many people have never experienced.

Attend the wedding of your ex-girlfriend or ex-wife, and then bring a wife who is more beautiful and noble than her.

Not only that, but also more handsome and radiant than his ex-girlfriend's groom.

"Lang'er, speak well," said the Earl.

Shen Lang said: "Father-in-law, I have really prepared for her engagement for a long time. I wrote a book specially for her, and even customized a dress for him. If I don't go, I will not make this dress for nothing Is it? Wasn’t that book written for nothing?”

The Earl said: "Xu Qianqian cried all day, Xu Guangyun smashed the whole house, where did your book go for nothing?"

What's more?

There are also countless men who are all ready to shoot Xu Qianqian's portrait.

In less than a day, the illustrations in the book "Gold / Vase / Plum Boundless Wind and Moon" are covered with a layer of white dirt.

It's just that the earl is a decent person and won't have any relevant associations.

The Earl looked solemn, and said: "Lang'er, the situation is very bad at the moment. Zhang Chong has woven a big net, covering my Earl Xuanwu's mansion from all directions. The so-called engagement wedding is a preview. Once you go If you do, you will be criticized by everyone, and you will suffer a lot.”

Shen Lang said seriously: "That enemy from the north also sent someone from the Earl's Mansion of Jinhai?"

The Earl nodded.

Shen Lang said again: "The creditor of our family has also come?"

Now, the Earl was really surprised.

"Not only that." The Earl said: "There is also a big man, his arrival will give us a fatal blow to the Xuanwu Earl's Mansion."

This is what makes Lord Earl most disappointed.

Shen Lang narrowed his eyes, another big shot? It will make the earl's mansion fall into absolute passiveness!

Who is this person?

This was supposed to be a flag-like mogul, and this one shifted sides.

He couldn't help but searched the big people around him in his mind.

"Nangong Ao, Marquis of Zhenbei, did he send someone?" Shen Lang said: "It will definitely not be the eldest son, but only the second or third son."

Now, the Earl looked at Shen Lang in disbelief.

He had just received this list and hadn't shown it to anyone.

Are there really such smart people in this world?

This is completely different from reciting "Kim's Family Instructions" all night. It is just a super memory, and this is wisdom.

Uncle Xuanwu handed over the list.

Then, looking at the map on the wall, he sighed, "Lang'er, I'm really exhausted, my eyes are blurred, and I feel like a building is about to collapse."

Shen Lang was startled, his father-in-law had never been so depressed before.

A strong man never shows weakness in front of others.

Although Jin Zhuo's talent is not high, he has always played the role of a resolute and powerful Earl of Xuanwu, so that everyone in the Earl's Mansion can be sheltered under his wings.

But now that the mountains and rain are about to come and the wind is all over the building, he really feels a little helpless.

He actually showed a weak posture in front of Shen Lang.

Shen Lang's expression was shocked.

This is not good, I still want to eat soft food, I still want to enjoy the glory and wealth.

Mulan, I haven't slept yet, and neither has Xiaobing.

Moreover, I found a very beautiful woman in Earl's Mansion that day, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with very big eyes and delicate facial features.

He was thinking about how to talk to Mulan and transfer her to his side.

My good life has only passed for more than a month, and better and better days are yet to come.

The Xuanwu Earl's Mansion cannot fail, and it will become stronger and stronger.

No, father-in-law must cheer up immediately.

...

Shen Lang closed his eyes and entered the state of Zhuge Liang, and it was the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" version, not the "Three Kingdoms" version.

After opening his eyes, Shen Lang showed a reserved and calm smile, as if everything was under control.

"Father-in-law, in fact, it is very clear in front of your eyes, and you are not confused at all. Although it is a bit dangerous, as long as you know yourself and the enemy, it is not difficult for us to win. Why are you so pessimistic?"

Lord Earl said: "The difficult thing is to know yourself and the enemy. Zhang Chong is extremely poisonous and unconstrained, making people completely baffled. Last time in Dongjiang County, the Earl of Dongjiang was forced by him before he understood what was going on. A dead end, and then a one-hit lore, became the stepping stone for Zhang Chong to fly to Huang Tengda."

Shen Lang sneered and said, "Otherwise, Zhang Chong's next killing move may seem confusing, but in fact it is clear and simple, and my son-in-law can see through it at a glance, so I will analyze it for my father-in-law."

The earl said: "Really?"

Zhuge Lang nodded and said, "Of course."

The Earl said: "Everyone back off and call Old Master Lin."

A moment later, Master Lin, the Earl's most trusted confidant, came.

Then, the two waited for Shen Lang's analysis.

Oh no, it's a performance!

...

"Father-in-law, Old Master Lin, the main opponent of our Earl's Mansion is Zhang Chong."

"In order for me to eat soft food with peace of mind and enjoy the glory and wealth, I often put myself in Zhang Chong's position, racking my brains to think about how to kill the Earl of Xuanwu's mansion."

"Ahem..." The earl reminded Shen Lang to be careful when speaking, not to substitute too harshly.

Shen Lang said: "We can only play what kind of chess pieces we have in our hands. We should do what the enemy fears the most."

"What is our Xuanwu Earl's Mansion most afraid of? The first is the feeling of being isolated, losing shelter, looking around, and feeling like everyone is an enemy."

"The Lanshan Viscount's Mansion has handed over its fief and military power. The Jinhai Earl's Mansion and the New Deal faction have joined forces to kill us. It seems that there is only one jade pillar left in the noble faction of the entire Tiannan Province, and that is the Marquis of Zhenbei. government."

"Nangong Ao, the Marquis of Zhenbei, is a giant in the military. He has nearly 100,000 troops in his hands. His family also has a fief of 800 square kilometers and 2,000 private troops."

"The monarch's new policy is like the sun shining brightly. The Marquis of Zhenbei's mansion is like a big tree blocking the scorching sun for us. To some extent, our Earl of Xuanwu's mansion is under the protection of his shadow."

"Although the Marquis of Zhenbei has always expressed his neutrality before, he hardly deals with the old nobles, and even when I got married, he didn't send anyone to come, but it doesn't hinder the fact that he can protect our family from wind and rain, because his family has a fief and private army."

"And this time, Zhang Chong directly removed the Optimus Jade Pillar, shifting Zhenbeihou's position towards the New Deal faction. As a result, the entire Xuanwu Earl's Mansion has become the largest veteran nobleman in Tiannan Province. Alone and exposed to the sun of the monarch's New Deal."

Earl Xuanwu nodded, that's how he felt. When he knew that Zhenbei Hou sent his second son to Zhang Jin's engagement banquet, he really felt a sense of panic in his heart.

The Marquis of Zhenbei withdrew, and the Xuanwu Earl's Mansion stood alone in the storm.

Shen Lang said lightly: "My lord father-in-law, you can't rely on others. The only thing you can rely on is yourself. Our Xuanwu Earl's Mansion is doomed to fight alone in Tiannan Province."

"The Marquis of Zhenbei has a territory of 800 square kilometers and 2,000 private troops, but this is nothing compared to the military power of a 100,000 army, which is why his position has shifted."

"However, Zhang Chong's move is a false move." Shen Lang said: "He wants us to misjudge, wants us to invest strategic resources in the residence of the Marquis of Zhenbei, and wants us to use all our strength to restore the position of Marquis of Zhenbei .”

"However, we cannot invest any resources. If Zhenbei Hou wants to change his position, let him go!"

"Next, the second thing we are most afraid of is being cut off from our money." Shen Lang said: "I know that our Earl's Mansion not only has no surplus and savings, but owes astronomical debts. Once the money is cut off, the consequences Unbelievable."

"After completing the first two steps of the layout, if I were Zhang Chong, I would use the deadliest move next, to completely cut off the arms of the Earl's Mansion of Xuanwu, and cut off the vitality of the Earl's Mansion!"

"And this third ultimate move is the battle of Jinshan Island, which has been accomplished in one battle."

"If I'm not wrong, the monarch will soon issue a decree to completely determine the ownership of Jinshan Island once and for all."

"And Zhang Chong and Zhu Rong have been preparing for the Jinshan Island dispute for more than half a year, so to some extent, it seems that we are destined to lose Jinshan Island."

"Once we completely lose Jinshan Island, our creditors feel that we are no longer capable of repaying our debts, so they will make up their minds to ask for debts publicly. The debt crisis of Earl Xuanwu's Mansion breaks out. What should we do at that time?"

"It is impossible not to repay the debt. The monarch will take the opportunity to exert pressure. I don't know how much our debt is. If I guess correctly, it will definitely be repaid."

"Also, the collateral for this debt is Wangya Island, right? This debt contract should also be due soon, right?"

The Earl looked at Shen Lang speechlessly.

He didn't reveal any of these secrets.

It's really... Wisdom is close to a demon.

"To borrow an astronomical amount of debt, there must be collateral. It was impossible for the Earl of the previous generation to use the local fiefdom as mortgage, and he could only use Wangya Island."

Shen Lang said: "Our Earl's Mansion has four major sources of income, food from the fiefdom, silk, salt and iron from Wangya Island."

"The annual income from salt and iron on Wangya Island accounts for more than 60% of the Earl's Mansion's total income. At that time, our creditors will ask the monarch to come forward and ask for Wangya Island."

"And once Wangya Island is lost, for our Earl of Xuanwu's Mansion, it will not only hurt our muscles and bones, but our arms and thighs will be cut off. We will lose 60% of our financial resources. At that time, our only The choice is to abolish the army."

"And as a veteran nobleman, without an army, he would be like a wolf without claws, like meat on a chopping board being slaughtered. Without the army, we would not be able to keep our fief. At that time, the Xuanwu Earl's Mansion would be over. .”

"If I were Zhang Chong, I would kill the Xuanwu Earl's Mansion in these three steps."

"Father-in-law, please advise, Master Lin, please advise!"

After finishing pretending, Shen Lang bowed slightly.

The Earl was really completely stunned.

It really dawned on me.

After being analyzed by Shen Lang, the fog in front of him seemed to be instantly cleared away.

The Earl and Mrs. Lin looked at each other, exchanging the shock in each other's eyes.

There was really a surge of breath from the soles of the feet, rushing to the brain.

I can't believe it!

In this world, is there such a smart person?
