Chapter 773

Although Pang Yi couldn't say it, Zhong Mingwei understood in his heart that he was different from before. After leaving the capital and the pool of sewage, the filth in his heart gradually faded away, and he was no longer the same as before. Worrying about gains and losses, anxious and depressed, he feels that he has become more humane, or he is living more and more like an ordinary person. He likes such changes and is grateful for such changes.

"By the way, I received a secret letter from Nanjiang early this morning." Pang Yi hurriedly took out a letter from his front jacket and handed it to Zhong Mingwei, "Master, please read it."

Zhong Mingwei put the teacup on the table and took the letter from Pang Yi. As soon as he opened the letter, Zhong Mingwei's eyes lit up. When he finished reading the letter, the smile on Zhong Mingwei's face was completely gone. Unable to hide it anymore, he put the letter on the table, patted Pang Yi's hand and said, "Long Live Lord conferred Cheng Xiangyang as the first Tibetan General of the Great Zhou Dynasty on the fourth day of last month!"

"Really?" Pang Yi also had a look of surprise on his face. He reached out his hand to fetch the letter paper in a hurry. It can be regarded as a daughter-in-law who has become a mother-in-law for many years!"

"Yes, these years, they have suffered a lot," Zhong Mingwei sighed and nodded, "I won't talk about the far ones, but the last time I dragged my family and was thrown into a cell by Xu Chengjin, it's scary to think about it. Xu Chengjin still wanted to win them over, so it didn't hurt their family, but if Xu Chengjin is more ruthless, how can they have a bright future?"

"It can be seen that the two boys are very lucky!" Pang Yi looked at Zhong Mingwei a little sad, and changed the topic too busy, "Master, there is one thing I can't understand."

"Tell me." Zhong Mingwei said.

"Why did the Lord Long live promote Chi Chongyuan and Cheng Xiangyang one after another? They are all genuinely humble children, and it is said that there is absolutely no chance that they will be able to sit where they are today," Pang Yi said. Any complaints?"

"The Xu family has just fallen. Who dares to complain to the Long Live Lord? Even if there are complaints, they can only be suppressed in their hearts," Zhong Mingwei said, taking a sip of tea, paused, and continued, "Furthermore Well, since the first time he came to the throne, the Lord Long Live has been thinking about how to reduce the threat of the aristocratic family to the imperial power and how to consolidate the imperial power as much as possible. This determines that compared with the children of the aristocratic family, He is more inclined to the children of the poor family, because the children of the poor family know how they climbed up step by step, they cherish the opportunity more, and they know how to repay the favor, so they are much less risky than using the children of the aristocratic family."

Pang Yi frowned and said: "My subordinates understand what you said, but they are just a little shocked. Long live Lord has never liked aristocratic families, but he can tolerate them. No, in the past thirty years Xu's family, Zhao's family, Cui's family, An's family and so on, these families are changing one after another, but they still occupy half of the court. It can be seen that Long Live God is tolerant and patient with them. , but now, the Long Live Lord has suddenly used two children from poor families one after another, and they are both high-ranking officials who hold military and political power, isn't that too eye-catching?"

"That means that Lord Long Live doesn't intend to tolerate it any longer," Zhong Mingwei said, "First, with the help of King Pingxi, he easily overthrew the strong bones of Xu's family and regained the imperial court's control over southern Xinjiang. , then the next thing will be easy to handle, no matter how powerful a family is, can it compare with the Xu family?"
