Chapter 158: With the family god here, there is nothing to be afraid of!

On an ordinary late night, the young Xie Wuying came up with a bold idea.

Xie Wenjie was horrified when he heard this!

"Hush—don't talk nonsense."

After saying this, he looked around nervously to see if Xie Wuying's words had been heard by anyone who was still awake in the middle of the night.

Fortunately, everyone around him was his family, but Xie Wenjie's calm mood was also disturbed by his outspoken brothers.

Xie Wuying had not expected that his casual words would cause Xie Huaizhang's expression to change so drastically. It was so obvious in the dark that he could see it clearly.

Seeing Xie Wenjie's behavior, Xie Wuying, who was originally a bit cunning, became even more disapproving.

The words have been spoken and there is no way to take them back.

Once this idea came to Xie Wuying's mind, he could no longer stop thinking about it. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was not wrong.

"You are just a teenager with wild ideas. They are good ideas, but don't think about them anymore."

"Why?" Xie Wuying was puzzled. He felt that this was feasible!

Xie Wenjie: "I'm worried, so I'll collect your body first."

Xie Wuying chuckled when he heard this.

The two men lay on their backs, one daydreaming and the other frightened by his brother's arrogant words, his heart pounding.

Xie Wenjie took a few deep breaths and closed his eyes.

Oops!

Xie Hezhi, this idiot, is really poisonous!

Because of what he just said, his mind is now full of his thoughts: "Do you think there is a possibility that the family gods will protect our Sixth Brother and help him find a wise leader to change the dynasty?"

Find another wise leader.

Change of dynasties.

A wise leader, a new generation...

Xie Wenjie couldn't help but reach out and touch his neck, and his head was still there.

He opened his eyes and looked at Xie Wuying on his right, sizing him up with a complicated look. "Hezhi, when did you have this idea?"

The two of them went to Beijing together to stay at the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion, went to school together, and were even exiled together... In his impression, He Zhi was not a young man who was easily rebellious.

Xie Wuying didn't hear clearly: "What?"

"Those thoughts."

"Oh, those." Xie Wuying understood and raised his head to adjust his posture. "I got them when I ate the hot meal given by the family god from my third brother."

Xie Wenjie's heart was pounding even more violently.

"you--"

"You want to say it, then how can I say it?"

"Um."

Xie Wuying chuckled, "I was afraid of scaring you."

Xie Wenjie was stunned and couldn't refute for a moment.

He was indeed a little scared.

However... Xie Wenjie didn't know what he was thinking.

Sometimes he thought that the idea in Xie Wuying's mind was too horrible, and sometimes he thought that his brother was really talented, as he could come up with such an idea of ​​beheading and exterminating the entire clan so easily.

Are the ways people who practice martial arts and pure scholars looking at things so different?

Xie Wuying casually glanced at his complicated gaze and said, "Don't be afraid, I was just saying it casually."

Xie Wenjie didn't believe that this was just a casual remark.

After a moment of silence.

Xie Wenjie looked at the bright moon and whispered, "Do you know why great monarchs throughout the dynasties, after pacifying the world and establishing their empire, tend to go on a killing spree, especially military commanders?"

Xie Wuying turned to look at him, puzzled: "Why are we talking about this?"

Xie Wenjie turned to look at him and said seriously, "Because it's easy for warriors to have thoughts like yours during turbulent times or when they are in power."

Xie Wuying rolled his eyes to the sky.

"Is it not okay to think about it?"

“Thinking precedes action.”

Xie Wuying asked him in return, "Then do you know why history books always record the changes of dynasties?"

Xie Wenjie would like to hear what his good brother has to say.

Xie Wuying curled his lips and raised his eyebrows, humming softly: "It means that the country will always be the same country. The king will take turns to sit on the throne, and the capable will take the throne."

Xie Wenjie took a deep breath in the dark night.

"fallacy."

"Foolish loyalty."

The two brothers argued with each other late at night because of their different political views.

After a while, Xie Wenjie was worried about him and couldn't help but remind him.

"You are also a scholar, you should know that this idea is dangerous."

Xie Wuying nodded.

He is not a complete fool, so how could he not know how rebellious this idea is?

"Isn't it because of this reason that the Xie family is not tolerated in the palace?" Xie Wenjie murmured.

Xie Wuying snorted, "In a duel, just because you admit defeat doesn't necessarily mean the other party will go easy on you."

Xie Wenjie sighed when he heard this.

Indeed, he also understood what his brother meant.

Don't be fooled by Xie Wuying's usual cheerful appearance, he is, after all, from a wealthy family.

Xie Wenjie has studied hard for many years, and he is not yet able to change his inherent views as a scholar like his brother Xie Hezhi, but he is not completely a pedantic person.

A hundred years ago, the ancestor of the Xie family had paved a road to heaven for their descendants.

He didn't think Xie Wuying's idea was completely nonsense.

only……

The current Emperor Xiahou Jie is not a completely incompetent king.

In order to completely wipe out the foundation of the Xie family, Xie Wenjie was able to endure for several years. Just because of this tenacity, Xie Wenjie felt that the more dangerous thing was whether the Xie family could survive safely before the Xie family found another wise leader.

After all, in history books, it is not uncommon to see acts of eradicating the roots of an enemy.

What we learn from books is always shallow. This time, the great disaster that the Xie family experienced was a lesson for us. The words of the saints that we learned in the past came to our mind vividly.

The pros and cons of worldly affairs are not the same as the dogmas in books.

The wishes of saints are all good.

But Xie Wenjie discovered that if the Xie family really fell into the treacherous struggle of interests and disadvantages, if they met a reasonable and wise monarch, it would be fine. The Xie family would definitely be a sharp sword in the hands of the emperor to defeat the enemy. But if they met an emperor like Xiahou Jie who was gloomy and suspicious, then the future of the Xie family would have only one ending.

No matter what they did, in the eyes of Emperor Longqing, the Xie family would never be able to turn things around.

Xie Wuying's idea is indeed not impossible.

A wise bird chooses a tree to roost in, and the Xie family has found a wise master.

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Xie Wuying glanced at him.

I found Xie Wenjie was thinking about something.

His black eyes rolled around, and he leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Do you think what I said makes sense?"

"Yeah." Xie Wenjie responded casually while deep in thought.

When he finally reacted, Xie Wuying laughed for a long time.

"Let's get to Laozhou alive first."

Xie Wuying snorted, "With the family god here, there's nothing to be afraid of."

Xie Wenjie corrected him, "Do we rely on the household gods for help in everything? If people are greedy and unaware of their own greed, they will also be despised by the gods."

Xie Wuying sighed deeply, feeling a little overwhelmed by his good brother's eloquence.

"Are you being pedantic?"

Xie Wenjie:?

Xie Wuying said, "Sixth Brother can now communicate directly with the gods, right? Let's ask the household god tomorrow what we should do to please him. We can find out what the household god likes, and then try our best to please him and win his blessing. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"

Xie Wenjie looked at him in astonishment.

It took him a long while to find his voice again.

"Tsuru, you are a talent."
