Chapter 491

He and Qingqing didn't have a warm relationship for long, because soon the father-in-law had already gone to the meeting room outside.

Wang Cui, Lu Zheng, Li Xing, Chu Yang, and the core executives of the eight families gathered in Jingkou, which should be regarded as the second time in history.

The first time was because Jiankang was captured by Su Zigao's rebels, and the family all retreated to Yangzhou.We stopped at Jingkou on the way, and took a look at the daughters who are here.

Looking at the changes over time, the aristocratic families naturally knew nothing about Cheng Jinyang's impression of Cheng Jinyang at the beginning.

The latter part of the aristocratic family paid a little attention because it was their own daughter who lived there.The Cheng family in God's capital is a fifth-rank family at any rate, so it's harmless to live there for a short time, but it's not good for a long time.

And then, the appearance of the Iron Giant Soldier...

Rank three, multiple abilities, knocking down the war mothership with one blow, causing almost all the families to re-acquaint themselves with the god capital Cheng.It was logical for these eight aristocratic families to send the girls they knew well to live there to inquire about information.

Then, the girls sent over were all rank five...

If it is said that the Iron Giant God Soldier threatened everyone with force and did not dare to test it too much, then when my daughter was promoted to the fifth rank, everyone would pretend to be deaf and dumb by coincidence, and could only peep secretly.

At that time, Wang Maohong urged Cheng Jinyang to go to Jingkou, Jiezhen, out of similar good intentions.Of course, Jingkou Town is located in Jiangbei, and the surrounding situation is not very safe. It would be great if he could reveal some of the secrets of the Giant God Soldiers.

After that, there was Su Zigao's rebellion, and everyone had to turn their attention away from Jingkou and focus on Liyang.

After the rebellion was put down, it became known that Cheng Jinyang's Giant God Soldier had become a rank one...

So the whole process can be summed up in one sentence, that is, "plans cannot keep up with changes."Cheng Jinyang is like a source of secrets. Every time everyone wants to study a certain secret about him, they find that new secrets emerge one after another until no one can look at him directly.

Simply recruit him as a son-in-law and become one of your own, and then get to know him slowly.

In the meeting hall, Yang Zixuan and Chu Jiye were a little serious, because the four patriarchs and one elder of the five surnamed family gathered together again...even the emperor might not have the face.

Uncle Xing looked even more solemn, because he was the only patriarch of a fifth-rank family present.Fortunately, Cheng and Xing's two families are in the same spirit, and he himself can be regarded as half of the host, so he can still sit here.

Under Cheng Yuexian's hospitality, everyone sat down in order, then looked at each other in blank dismay, and occasionally said a few words, but they quickly became silent.

It's not that everyone doesn't know each other well, it's mainly because of the current situation, the real master hasn't arrived, and they really don't have the heart to talk.

After a few minutes, Cheng Jinyang came late, and when he entered the door, he quickly apologized with a smile:

"I'm sorry to keep everyone waiting. I have some urgent business to deal with just now."

"It's okay." Chu Jiye smoothed things over, "The changes in Jingkou Town are changing with each passing day, and it's normal for you to be busy with work."

Cheng Jinyang was ashamed when he heard the words.

How can there be any work? I left it to the shogunate. I was actually making out with your daughter just now.

He laughed a few words and changed the topic.Everyone here is not a mediocre person, and when they heard that he didn't want to talk about it, they all started talking about the real thing.

"By the way." Wang Maohong said leisurely, "Yu Yuangui seems to be interested in the Northern Expedition recently."

"Northern Expedition?" Cui Congyan laughed out loud, "The Great Jin Dynasty is in such chaos now, why the Northern Expedition? Do you want to gamble on the fate of the country?"

"From the point of view, I think the Northern Expedition is not a bad idea." Li Xuansheng thought about it, "It is precisely because of the unstable internal situation that we have to find a breakthrough from the outside. If we can make meritorious deeds, then we must take care of ourselves...Your Majesty, but because of a change in the north? Otherwise? Yu Yuangui may not come up with a whim."

"That's right." Wang Maohong said in a deep voice, "It is said that Emperor Ziwei in the north is seriously injured and is fighting with the newly promoted Emperor of Heaven."

"The new emperor?" Lu Jiru slowly took a breath, "If there is civil strife in the Central Plains, the Northern Expedition may not be necessary, but... the imperial court has not yet prepared for war."

"How does the prince plan to reply?" Zheng Dehui asked with a frown.

Now that Yu Yuangui is no longer the order of Zhongshu, he must communicate with the central government first before going to war. Empress Dowager Yu and the little emperor will inevitably ask Wang Maohong what he means.

"I can't refuse." Wang Maohong stroked his beard, showing a rare look of helplessness on his face.

Everyone was also speechless.Yu Yuangui controlled the military power outside, and Empress Dowager Yu gave her full support inside. The two brothers and sisters were simply invincible.Unless there is a violent coup d'état, there is nothing they can do about it.

"Jinyang, what do you think?" Seeing that everyone was silent, Wang Maohong asked warmly.

This is a common method used by the elders of the family to support the younger generations in the family. They use various questions to test everyone in the school. If they answer well, they will comment on it, and if they cannot answer it, they will give some hints.For example, in the past, Xie Anshi asked everyone "What do Bai Xue think?" It was for a similar purpose.

At this time Wang Maohong came to ask himself, Cheng Jinyang knew that this was to train him as a political junior, and after a little thought, he calmly replied:

"Yu Yuangui intends to make the Northern Expedition, and there are internal and external factors. The external cause is the internal strife in the Central Plains, a god-given opportunity; the internal reason is that Yu Yuangui urgently needs to make contributions in the short term, not only to calm people's hearts, but also to wash away the stigma left by Su Zigao's rebellion."

"Then do you think the Northern Expedition is hopeful?" Wang Maohong continued to ask noncommittal.

Cheng Jinyang shook his head: "I'm afraid we will win first and then lose."

So all the bosses present sat upright subconsciously.

The previous "question about why the Northern Expedition" is actually not too difficult. As long as you are concerned about current affairs and can analyze the psychology of the parties involved, you can generally answer two or three points. Cheng Jinyang's answer is also relatively comprehensive, and there are no fallacies.

"Whether the Northern Expedition is hopeful" is an open question with no fixed answer.How can military affairs be predicted accurately in advance?The reason why Wang Maohong asked him was simply to see his deduction ability.

If it were any other young and handsome guy here, such as Wang Xinzhi, he would first seriously analyze the current situation, and finally give a general conclusion.The result is right or wrong is not important, what is important is whether the reasoning process is clear and reasonable.

As a result, Cheng Jinyang directly gave a conclusion, "win first and then lose", which inevitably aroused everyone's curiosity-this son-in-law did not answer the questions according to the routine!
"How to say?" Wang Maohong also became interested and asked with a smile.

"The north is strong and the south is weak, and it cannot be changed, so we lose later." Cheng Jinyang replied, "The first move counts, so the first win."

There was silence in the conference hall for a while.

"What do you guys think?" Wang Maohong looked around and asked.

"Yu Yuangui's nickname of 'Beautiful Jade in Plenty' is indeed true." Cui Congyan said with a sneer, "He can only be conservative, not aggressive. In terms of judging the situation, Jinyang, you are far better than him in this aspect."

The beautiful jade in a good year is useless in times of famine. This is a nickname of "bright praise but derogatory".It's just that now that the Yu family is powerful, it is in this secret room that Cui Congyan can speak freely and criticize him.

"Uncle Cui." Cheng Jinyang cupped his hands, "Actually, I don't think Yu Yuangui made a mistake in his decision."

"Oh, what do you say?" Cui Congyan asked him.

"He may have anticipated the outcome of the Northern Expedition, or he may not have known it." Cheng Jinyang said in a deep voice, "It's just that the arrow is on the string, and it has to be launched."

The conference hall fell silent again.

"Xuansheng." Wang Maohong asked suddenly, "Is the Longxiang Army still under Yu Yuangui's complete control?"

Li Xuansheng shook his head.In the past two years, the Longxiang army has changed its master three times, from Wang Chuzhong to Tao Shixing to Yu Yuangui. The frequent changes of the upper management will inevitably lead to weakening of the control over the lower levels.

Not to mention that Yu Yuangui took the civil service route as a foreign relative, and his own military qualifications were not enough. Coupled with the stain of Su Zigao's rebellion, it was naturally not so easy to completely subdue the lower-ranking generals of the Longxiang Army.

According to the intelligence of the Li family in Longxi in the military, Yu Yuangui is currently still integrating the major hills in the Longxiang Army.It's normal for the new leader to take over, but it's just based on what Cheng Jinyang said just now...

... Yu Yuangui's integration of the Longxiang Army may have encountered some insurmountable resistance, or even a faint tendency to backlash, so he decided to use the Northern Expedition to subdue the army's morale and eliminate hidden dangers.

Just like a gambler who owes usury, even if he puts all his eggs in one basket, he has to put out all his chips.

Either win, or fall into the abyss completely.

 In the afternoon, I didn’t get the high-speed rail ticket back to the city, and those who grabbed the bus probably got stuck at the intersection of the expressway.If you go home and update early, you can ask for leave if you go home late, don’t wait~
