Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

Chen Xi had never thought that such an outrageous thing would happen. Although the Zhen family had always behaved like that, Liu Bei and Chen Xi had always believed that the Zhen family was at least a normal person. As a result, what happened this time gave Chen Xi a heavy blow.

"I have sent people to collect detailed intelligence and see what happened." Guo Jia said to Chen Xi after sending away the people who came to deliver intelligence.

Chen Xi had no expression on his face, but the gloomy aura emanated from his body, because the Zhen family had joined Liu Bei's forces very early, and Liu Bei married Zhang, while Chen Xi married Zhen Mi, and the two had always helped the Zhen family.

Although I felt that the Zhen family was a bit stupid before, and they didn't think of ways to develop in Central Asia these days, and they were doing some democratic voting in the country, which was definitely a manifestation of brain problems, but considering that the Zhen family had no male head of the family in the previous era, the new one was not the orthodox family heir.

Therefore, Chen Xi can understand that the new Zhen family has shortcomings in many aspects, but after all, it is the wife's family. As long as the brain is not pit, and work normally, Chen Xi is still willing to give opportunities. Considering that the Zhen family has some advantages, Chen Xi is also willing to give the Zhen family opportunities.

The result is that the Zhen family has got a lot of opportunities now?

"I can't understand what's going on with the Zhen family at all." Chen Xi said faintly, "Media, as a trading city jointly managed by the Han Dynasty and Rome, was specially rebuilt after the fall of Parthia, and the original city walls were expanded, and it completely reached the level of a secondary capital. At this level, even if it was attacked from inside and outside, it would not be taken down so quickly."

"I don't know about that. Maybe it has been lurking for a long time, just waiting for an opportunity." Guo Jia persuaded as much as possible. He knew why Chen Xi was angry.

"Let Zhen Yan come over. I don't believe Zhen Yan doesn't know anything." Chen Xi said indifferently. What is going on with this matter? Just ask and you will know.

Because the ten years of Yuanfeng have passed, some of the backbones of the family have already arrived in Chang'an. The family with no family lords, such as the Zhen family, is now in Chang'an, not in Jizhou as Chen Xi thought. So after Chen Xi gave the order, Zhen Yan was quickly taken to the government.

Seeing Zhen Yan, who had a gentle face and was no different from the previous times he met, Chen Xi couldn't help but get angry.

Without waiting for Zhen Yan to salute him, just seeing Zhen Yan's current attitude, Chen Xi said coldly, "Marquis Ancheng, can you still sit still now?"

Zhen Yan looked confused. What's the situation? Why can't he sit still? What happened?

Seeing Zhen Yan's confused face, after confirming that the other party was not pretending, not to mention Chen Xi, the people present, such as Zhuge Liang, Li You, Fa Zheng, etc., all looked unbelievable. Midia exploded. You didn't even know that it was your fiefdom!

Chen Xi suppressed his anger and looked at Zhen Yan, not knowing what to say. This was no longer a question of whether he was a waste or not. This was a question of having almost no control over the family. If it were other families, they would have known it clearly by now.

Families such as the Second Cui, the Third King, and the Yang family, let alone the fall of the clan land, even if they were just attacked, the clan leader would be abroad and would quickly notify the clan leader and then actively fight back. Even if the opponent was unable to defeat them, at least they could delay for a while, and during this time, the clan leader would beg for help frantically, at least to find someone to help.

There is absolutely no such situation where the clan leader doesn't know that his family is gone!

Is this kind of waste really the clan leader?

"Take a look for yourself, and tell me what you think after you read it." Chen Xi looked at Zhen Yan coldly and said, he could wipe the ass for his wife's family, but at least he required his wife's family not to be a useless person, and in this situation, Chen Xi didn't want to say anything anymore. The performance of the Zhen family was really rubbish.

Zhen Yan didn't understand what was going on. He took the secret report sent by Guo Jia's intelligence organization, opened it and took a look. His face was pale. Then he looked at Chen Xi tremblingly. Zhen Yan was not stupid. He was just incompetent. But even if he was an ordinary person, he at least knew how big the matter was.

Not to mention the trading materials stored by the major families and the Han Dynasty in Media City, the fast-growing rice seeds sent by Rome from the Han Dynasty due to the locust plague some time ago were enough to destroy the Zhen family.

What's worse is that Zhen Yan really didn't receive any intelligence, that is to say, Media Trading City is likely to fall in one fell swoop, and there is no resistance at all.

"I..." Zhen Yan looked at Chen Xi palely, and Chen Xi looked at Zhen Yan quietly. In the end, there was no explanation, and Zhen Yan slowly lowered his head.

"You don't know anything, you don't know anything, it's really a joke!" Chen Xi looked at Zhen Yan with a kind of angry sigh. Seeing the other party like this, Chen Xi didn't want to say anything.

"Marquis Ancheng, there is still a chance to save the situation." Zhuge Liang said from the side. He had realized that Chen Xi was a little intolerable, but Zhuge Liang thought that if he could save him, he should save him.

Zhen Yan turned his head and looked at Zhuge Liang. At this time, Zhen Yan, who knew that the situation was so big that he couldn't even fill him in, heard this, as if he had grasped the last ray of hope.

"How many people are there in Media?" Zhuge Liang looked at Zhen Yan and asked. He knew that Chen Xi was now trapped in self-blame and didn't want to care about the Zhen family at all, but Zhuge Liang felt that some things should be done and should be done. At least the Zhen family can still struggle.

Zhen Yan fell silent, and Zhuge Liang sighed in his heart.

"Marquis Ancheng, are you really the head of the Zhen family?" Fazheng asked with a sneer.

Without waiting for Zhen Yan to answer, Fazheng gave the answer first, "You are indeed the head of the family in name, but you don't know anything about it. Do you know why the heads of other families can calmly accept their own death after things get out of control?" , it is true that it was the promotion of the family elders, but it was more because of him that things got out of control. "

The patriarchs of other families have the power to make decisions about the family. All the affairs of the family are basically clear. Really important events can only be carried out through him. It is impossible to happen alone in such a top wealthy family. Without him, With the consent of the clan leader, some things were curbed from the source.

Therefore, when something big happens, the clan leader's suicide is actually an explanation. But for a guy like Zhen Yan who doesn't know anything about it, Fazheng can only sigh, "What did you do?" If you don’t know anything, how can you make decisions? What do you do when the people below suggest you? What nonsense!

Whether it is dictatorship, democracy, or any other method, even if it is pure madness, as long as you sit in the position of the patriarch, all major events that truly determine the life and death of the family must come from your hands. If you cannot do this, then You are just a puppet being pushed out.

The heads of the major aristocratic families may not be very strong at certain times, but when they are in real danger, they will never be like Zhen Yan, who is ignorant of every question. At the very least, they will know what their family is doing and what they want to do. .

"Marquis Ancheng, why don't you go back and wait for death." Zhuge Liang said very directly. He wanted to help, but in a situation like Zhen Yan's ignorance, Zhuge Liang couldn't help.

The last trace of blood on Zhen Yan's face completely faded, and his whole body turned white.

The Zhen family's loss of the Media Trading City is not enough to bring the Zhen family to ruin. Even if they are held responsible for the loss of land, which will lead to Roman accusations, etc., it will not bring the Zhen family to ruin, but it will make Zhen Yan look decent.

After all, in the Han Dynasty, the suicide of the family head was a kind of confession, a kind of dignity when the matter was big but there was still a glimmer of life. However, those family heads who committed suicide knew what they had done and what happened. They knew that their defeat was not It's not like being tricked by others, it's just a mistake made by oneself. It's completely different from a fool like Zhen Yan.

"Chen Hou!" After Zhen Yan finally realized his end, he immediately turned to look at Chen Xi. He didn't want to die. He had just inherited the position of prince, became the head of a wealthy family for generations, and had inherited the title of Biliang. Qianshi's empty position, he is still young, he has not enjoyed it yet, and he does not want to die.

"I don't know what's going on with your Zhen family. I don't object to you wanting to become a merchant family, and I'm not afraid to tell you in Media Trading City. That is indeed the amulet that Taiwei and I have been thinking about giving to you, but Your performance..." Chen Xi was extremely calm and looked at Zhen Yan, "You still have twenty-eight days. It's only the second day that this secret report is due. The problem will be solved within twenty-eight days. You don't have to die. , The Zhen family only needs to pay the compensation."

There are many things that need to be compensated, such as the materials hoarded by the Han Empire in Media, the materials hoarded by Rome in Media, the messy things sold by major aristocratic families in Media, and the various materials stored by the Eastern Province in Media. supplies, etc., as well as the most important goodwill of the city of Media.

But these things are nothing compared to the fast-growing rice seeds that the Roman Empire needed to plant in Eastern Europe because of the locust plague.

"Twenty-eight days?" Zhen Yan was completely confused.

"If I can't do it, I can only ask you to explain. You are Mi'er's second brother, but the national law will not be merciful in this kind of thing. It has been like this since ancient times." Chen Xi was very calm, even a little indifferent. Looking at Zhen Yan, "I will never care about your food, drink, and fun. No matter how much you spend on fun, I won't care. After all, it is the wealth of the Zhen family, but losing the land is not good, and the country's face is not good either. "

Zhen Yan lowered his head, his face changing back and forth between blue and white, but he couldn't find any solution.

"Can I make it in time to mobilize my troops now?" Zhen Yan seemed to have finally calmed down under the fear of death. She looked at Chen Xi and asked with some doubts.

"I don't know, but I know it will take half a year for you to mobilize troops from Chang'an." Chen Xi said calmly, "The time I can give you is only twenty-eight days. It's best to solve the problem if you can't." , you are the solution.”

Zhen Yan couldn't help but feel chills when he heard this. He didn't hear the slightest hint of intimidation in Chen Xi's words, only calmness and calmness. That kind of calmness and calmness seemed to have confirmed Zhen Yan's death, and Zhen Yan didn't want to die. She really didn't want to die. I don't want to die.

"I..." Zhen Yan looked at Chen Xi and made his final struggle.

"That's it, let's solve the rest as we want." Chen Xi looked at Zhen Yan indifferently, not at all like he was looking at his uncle.

"Can you give me a force of five hundred guards?" Zhen Yan seemed to have figured out something. He looked at Chen Xi and said, he chose to struggle. He did nothing about this, and now he has to carry it. Pot, just because he is the head of the family? He is not convinced!

"Okay, Kong Ming." Chen Xi glanced at Zhen Yan, then turned to Zhuge Liang and said.

Zhuge Liang quickly wrote a dispatch document, and then asked Chen Xi to print it and hand it to Zhen Yan.

"Take this dispatch document to the guard, and you can mobilize five hundred guards." Chen Xi said calmly, "Remember the time, I don't care about the process, I only want the result."

Zhen Yan nodded when he heard this. He no longer had the strength to refute. He just wanted to live. Under the pressure of the Han Empire, he had no choice, but the Zhen family's own people...

Zhen Yan took the dispatch documents to find the Weiwei, and Chen Xi looked at Zhen Yan's back and sighed, then looked at Zhuge Liang, "In fact, there is no need to give twenty-eight days, one month's time buffer, it can't solve anything at all. , At present, it seems that Zhen Yan has basically no control over the Zhen family, he is just a puppet. "

"Even if he is just a puppet, he will still want to live. And as a puppet, at least he has done no bad things. He is just incompetent and just wants to inherit the Zhen family's family business and live happily. The one who is really stupid and bad is probably still there now. I'm worried about the Zhen family." Zhuge Liang said coldly, "What's more, Zichuan would agree, I'm afraid that's the case."

Chen Xi didn't reply when he heard this, but not speaking at this time was equivalent to acquiescence.

"Zhen Yan really knows nothing. This head of the family is really funny." Fazheng said with a sneer, "Perhaps the Zhen family has already started internal agitation at this time, preparing to let the head of the family face the situation, and then incite your little wife , and the Taiwei’s wife turned a deaf ear.”

"If you make a mistake, you have to admit it. If you make a mistake too much, you have to be punished." Chen Xi said coldly, "Zhen Yan is not a qualified head of the family, but he dares to do this and does it so badly, he should be punished , Zhen Yan can die, but the guy who doesn’t know the heights of the world and dares to act recklessly will die even more!”

Li You and others nodded when they heard this, while Jia Xu was very disdainful of this.

"Wen He, what do you want to say?" Chen Xi glanced at Jia Xu and asked.

"I'm not sure whether we can solve the matter in Midea, but I think that when Zhen Yan leaves, the cruelty in his eyes will cause some very terrible things." Jia Xu said with a bit of indifference. , "He really dares now."
