Chapter 6584 No choice
Chen Xi never thought that such an outrageous thing would happen if he beat Chen Xi to death. Although the Zhen family has always beenhaved like that, Liu Bei and Chen Xi have always been in the attitude of the Zhen family being at least a normal person. As a result, what happened this time gave Chen Xi a hard hit.
"I have sent someone to collect detailed information and see what happened." Guo Jia said to Chen Xi after sending away the personnel who came to send the information away.
Chen Xi had a expressionless face, but the gloomy aura came out of his body, because the Zhen family joined Liu Bei's power very early, and Liu Bei married Zhang and Chen Xi married Zhen Mi. Both of them had always helped the Zhen family.
Although I felt that the Zhen family had a little trick in mind before, and I didn’t find a way to develop in Central Asia these days, and it was a sign of a problem with my brain, considering that the Zhen family did not have male heads in the previous era, the new one was not the orthodox family heirs.
Therefore, Chen Xi could understand that the new Zhen family had shortcomings in many aspects, but after all, they were a wife. As long as they were not fooled and did things normally, Chen Xi was still willing to give them opportunities. Considering that the Zhen family still had some strengths, Chen Xi was also willing to give the Zhen family a chance.
As a result, the Zhen family has achieved a lot of opportunities now?
"I can't understand what the Zhen family is going on." Chen Xi said quietly, "As a trading city jointly managed by the Han Dynasty and Rome, Midiya was specially rebuilt after the fall of Anxi, and expanded the original city walls, which completely reached the level of a companion. Even if he was cooperating with the inside and outside, he would not be able to be taken down so quickly."
"I don't know this. Maybe I've 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.
"I don't believe Zhen Yan comes over, but Zhen Yan doesn't know anything." Chen Xi said coldly. What's going on like this? You can tell at first question.
Because Yuanfeng has passed halfway through ten years, some of the backbone of the aristocratic family have come to Chang'an first. A family like the Zhen family, which has nothing to do, is now in Chang'an, and it is not the person Chen Xi thought to be in Jizhou, so after Chen Xi gave the order, Zhen Yan was quickly taken to the Zhengyuan.
Seeing Zhen Yan, who had a gentle face, no difference from the previous few times, Chen Xi couldn't help but feel angry.
Before Zhen Yan could salute him, just seeing Zhen Yan's current attitude, Chen Xi said coldly, "Marquis Ancheng, can you still sit in now?"
Zhen Yan looked confused. What was going on, why couldn't sit still, and what happened?
Seeing Zhen Yan's face was confused and confirmed that the other party was not pretending, let alone Chen Xi, those present, Zhuge Liang, Li You, Fa Zheng and others looked incredible. Midiya burst, you don't know that it was your fiefdom!
Chen Xi suppressed his anger and looked at Zhen Yan with no idea what to say. This is no longer a question of whether he is a waste or not. He has almost no control over the family. If it were other families, he would probably have clearly understood it at this time.
Families such as Er Cui, San Wang, and Yang, not to mention that the clan land has fallen, even if they have just been beaten, the clan leader will quickly notify the clan leader abroad and then actively fight back. Even if the opponent cannot compete, it can at least delay for a while. During this period, the clan leader of his family will beg his grandfather and grandma to sue him, and at least find someone who can help.
There is absolutely no such situation where the patriarch doesn’t know about it!
Is this kind of waste really the patriarch?
"You can take a look at it yourself. After reading it, tell me what you think." Chen Xi looked at Zhen Yan coldly and said. He could wipe his wife's butt, but at least he asked that his wife would not be able to support him. In this case, Chen Xi no longer wanted to say anything. The Zhen family's performance was really rubbish.
Zhen Yan didn't understand why, so he took the secret report sent by Guo Jia's intelligence organization, opened it and looked at it twice, his face was completely bloodless, and then looked at Chen Xi tremblingly. Zhen Yan was not an idiot, he just lacked his ability, but even an ordinary person, at least he knew how big the matter was.
We don’t mention the trading materials reserved by the major families and the Han Dynasty in Midiya City. The fast-growing rice seeds sent by Rome from the Han Dynasty some time ago was enough for the Zhen family to be finished.
What's worse is that Zhen Yan really did not receive any information, which means that the Midiya Trading City was likely to be trapped in one go and had no resistance at all.
"I..." Zhen Yan looked at Chen Xi with a blood-faced look. Chen Xi looked at Zhen Yan quietly. In the end, there was no explanation. Zhen Yan slowly lowered his head.
"I don't know anything, but I don't know anything. It's really a joke!" Chen Xi looked at Zhen Yan with a groaning indifference. Seeing the other party like this, Chen Xi no longer wanted to say anything.
"Marquis Ancheng, there is still a chance to save it now." Zhuge Liang said from the side. He had realized that Chen Xi could not bear it anymore, but Zhuge Liang thought, could he save it?
Zhen Yan turned his head and looked at Zhuge Liang when he heard this. At this time, Zhen Yan, who knew that the big thing was so big that he could not even fill him in, felt like he had grasped the last ray of hope when he heard this.
"How many people in the Zhen family are still in Midiya?" Zhuge Liang looked at Zhen Yan and asked. He knew that Chen Xi was now 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, but they still have to be done. The Zhen family could at least struggle again.
Zhen Yan fell into silence, and Zhuge Liang sighed softly when he saw this.
"Marquis Ancheng, are you really the head of the Zhen family?" Fa Zheng asked with a sneer.
Before Zhen Yan could answer, Fa Zheng gave the answer first, "You are indeed the head of the family in name, but you don't know after asking. You know why the heads of other families can calmly accept themselves after things get out of control. It is true that it is the push of the elders of the family, but more because things get out of control are on him."
The patriarchs of other families have the power to make decisions about the family. All the affairs of the family are basically clear. The real major events must be carried out through him. It is impossible to happen in such a top wealthy family alone. Without the consent of the patriarch, some things were curbed from the source.
Therefore, when something big happens, the patriarch commits suicide, which is actually an explanation. But a guy like Zhen Yan who doesn’t know anything, Fa Zheng can only sigh, what have you done? You don’t know anything, how do you make a decision? What do you do if the people below suggest? It’s nonsense!
Whether it is dictatorship, democracy, or any other way, even if it is a purely crazy, as long as you sit in the position of the patriarch, all the major things that really determine the life and death of the family must come from your hands. If you cannot do this, you are just a puppet being pushed out.
The heads of major families may not be very strong at some point, but when they are truly in danger, they will never be like Zhen Yan, who will be ignorant of what they are doing. At least, they will know what they are doing and what they are going to do.
"Marquis Ancheng, why don't you go back and wait for death." Zhuge Liang said very directly. He wanted to help, but Zhuge Liang could not help Zhen Yan's situation of not knowing it after asking questions.
The last blood on Zhen Yan's face completely faded away, and his whole body turned white.
The Zhen family lost the Midiya Trading City, which is not enough to make the Zhen family doomed. Even if the responsibility for losing the land will lead to Rome's suspicion, it will not make the Zhen family doomed, but it will make Zhen Yan decent.
After all, in the Han Dynasty, the head of the family committed suicide was an explanation, a big thing, but there was still a decent attitude when it was alive. However, those heads of the family committed suicide by knowing what they did and what happened, and knew that their defeat was not something that was cheated by people, but that they were really taking a wrong step, which was completely different from a confused guy like Zhen Yan.
"Mr. Chen!" After Zhen Yan finally realized his ending, he turned to look at Chen Xi at the first time. He didn't want to die. He had just inherited the position of Marquis and became the head of a wealthy family for many generations. He had inherited the false position of two thousand stones. He was younger and he had not enjoyed it yet. He didn't want to die.
"I don't know what happened to your Zhen family. I don't object to you if you want to be a businessman family. I'm not afraid to tell you that Midiya Trading City. That's indeed the amulet that Taiwei and I have been thinking about giving you, but your performance..." Chen Xi was extremely calm and looked at Zhen Yan, "You have twenty-eight days left. This secret report is only the next day. The problem is solved within twenty-eight days. You don't have to die. The Zhen family just needs to compensate for the compensation."
There are many things to be compensated, such as the supplies hoarded by the Han Empire in Midiya, the supplies hoarded by Rome in Midiya, the messy things sold by major families in Midiya, various supplies hanging in Midiya in the eastern provinces, etc., and the most important goodwill of the city of Midiya.
But these things are nothing compared to the fast-growing rice seeds that the Roman Empire needed to plant in Eastern Europe due to locust plague.
"Twenty-eight days?" Zhen Yan was completely confused.
"If you can't do it, you can only explain it to you. You are Mi'er's second brother, but the national law will not be sympathetic in such matters. This has been the case since ancient times." Chen Xi was very calm and even looked at Zhen Yan with some indifference, "I never care about your food, drink, and fun. No matter how much you play, I won't care. After all, it is the wealth of the Zhen family, but it is not enough to lose land, and the face of the country is not enough to be lost."
Zhen Yan lowered his head and turned around with a blue and white complexion, but he couldn't find any solution.
"Can I have time to mobilize troops now?" Zhen Yan finally calmed down in the fear of death, and 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 transfer troops from Chang'an." Chen Xi said calmly, "The time I can give you only twenty-eight days. The best solution is, but if you can't solve it, you are the solution."
Zhen Yan couldn't help but stand up when he heard this. He didn't hear the slightest sense of intimidation from Chen Xi's words, only calmness and peace. The calmness and peace seemed to have confirmed Zhen Yan's death. Zhen Yan didn't want to die, he really didn't want to die.
"I..." Zhen Yan looked at Chen Xi and made a final struggle.
"That's all, let's solve the rest." Chen Xi looked at Zhen Yan coldly, not as if he was looking at his uncle at all.
"Can you give me a 500-man guard?" Zhen Yan seemed to have figured out something, and looked at Chen Xi and said, "He chose to struggle. He did nothing about this matter. As a result, he wanted to take the blame now because he was the head of the family? He was not convinced!
"Yes, Kong Ming." Chen Xi glanced at Zhen Yan, then turned his head and said to Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang quickly wrote a dispatch document, and then asked Chen Xi to add a seal and hand it over to Zhen Yan.
"If you use this dispatch document to find the Weiwei, you can mobilize five hundred imperial guards." Chen Xi said calmly, "Remember the time, I don't care about the process, I just want the result."
Zhen Yan nodded when he heard this. He no longer had the strength to refute. He just wanted to survive. Under the pressure of the Han Empire, he had no choice, but the Zhen family's own people...
Zhen Yan took the dispatching document to find Wei Wei, and Chen Xi sighed at Zhen Yan's back, then looked at Zhuge Liang, "In fact, there is no need to give twenty-eight days, a month's buffering, and it can't solve anything at all. At present, it seems that Zhen Yan basically has no control over the Zhen family, he is just a puppet."
"Even if it's just a puppet, he will still want to survive. And as a puppet, he at least has nothing bad. He is just incompetent and just wants to inherit the Zhen family's family business and spend money. I'm afraid that he is still in a hurry in the Zhen family." Zhuge Liang said coldly, "What's more, Zichuan will agree, I'm afraid he thinks it's the case."
Chen Xi did not reply after hearing this, but not speaking at this time was equivalent to default.
"Zhen Yan really knows nothing. This head of the family is really funny." Fa Zheng said with a sneer, "It's not certain that the Zhen family has started to incite internally to make the head of the family decent, and then incite your little wife and the wife of the Grand Marshal to blow their ears."
"If you do something wrong, you have to admit it. If you make a mistake too much, you will be punished." Chen Xi said coldly, "Zhen Yan is not a qualified head of the family, but if you dare to do this, and if you do it so badly, you should be dealt with. Zhen Yan can die, but the guy who does not know the world and dares to act recklessly will die!"
Li You and others nodded when they heard this, but Jia Xu was very disdainful of this.
"Wenhe, what do you want to say?" Chen Xi glanced at Jia Xu and asked.
"I'm not sure whether the matter on Midiya can be solved, but I think that when Zhen Yan left, the cruelty in his eyes would cause some very terrible things." Jia Xu said with a little indifference, "He really dares now."
