"I really hate this feeling. We should be the closest relationship in the world, but I am just treated as a chess piece. I keep it when it is useful, and discard it without hesitation when it is useless! The Yun family is really not worthy of my recognition!" At this time, after Xiao Shuangbao's Yun Wuyao finished speaking, his baby voice sounded a little cynical.
"Not all members of the Yun family are like this." Yun Wuyao heard this, but he wasn't angry at her at all. Instead, he gently stroked her head and said, "Perhaps, your arrival is an opportunity for change for the Yun family and even the entire Beirong Kingdom."
"Uncle Wuyao? Why do you think so? Is Shuangbao so strong?" A layer of confusion appeared in little Shuangbao's eyes. She seemed to be unable to understand why Yun Wuyao trusted her so much when they had only known each other for a short time.
"Yes, Shuangbao is the most powerful little cutie in the world!" Yun Wuyao said with a smile.
This made Xiao Shuangbao feel a little embarrassed.
She chuckled twice and looked at the pedestrians on the street.
Jincheng is the country of Beirong, so it is naturally more prosperous than the border cities she passed by before.
Yun Wuyao led them all the way from the most prosperous and bustling streets in Jincheng to the poor and destitute place on the other side.
After spending a whole day touring almost all of Jincheng, they returned to the Yun family.
"Little Princess, you took a walk around the city today. How do you feel?" Yun Wuyao asked her.
"After reading this, I understand a little bit what Uncle Wuyao said before."
Seeing him ask, the little kid answered seriously, "In the wealthy areas of Jincheng, it seems everyone is rich, but in the deserted areas, everyone is poor. They seem to be two extremes. Could this be what Uncle Wuyao mentioned before, the drawbacks of aristocratic families controlling power?"
"Yes, that's right!"
Yun Wuyao's eyes lit up, and there was a hint of surprise and approval in his eyes as he looked at Xiao Shuangbao.
He didn't expect that the little baby actually heard what he said last time and remembered it immediately.
And while strolling around the city today, she did not forget what she said, but was thinking about it seriously.
"This is just one side of the story. Tomorrow, I will take you to visit several major families." Yun Wuyao continued.
However, Xiao Shuangbao shook his head.
"There's no need to look at other aristocratic families. The Yun family is the leader of the Northern Rong families. Just looking at the Yun family, you'll know how other aristocratic families fare." She said seriously, "Just looking at the number of fools in the Yun family, you'll know they don't deserve the wealth they have today.
"Uncle Wuyao, I believe there's only one way to save Beirong, and that's to consolidate power into the hands of the royal family. But, does the royal family have anyone capable of doing this? If the royal family members are all incompetent and unfit for the task, I'm afraid we'll have to appoint a new emperor. Uncle Wuyao, do you think any of Beirong's major families have enough talented people to be emperor?"
Xiao Shuangbao asked quite seriously.
Yun Wuyao was shocked by her words.
He had never thought about these things!
However, Yun Wuyao soon frowned and thought seriously about Xiao Shuangbao's suggestion.
I have to say, he suddenly felt that Xiao Shuangbao was right.
The reason why Beirong was so powerful in the past was that the power of the aristocratic families was almost all controlled by the Yun family. Even before that, there was a previous generation of centralized aristocratic families. They concentrated power in one place for the highest interests of their own families, but they also maintained a stable situation.
But every time a top family declines, it is always accompanied by a bloody struggle for power.
Last time, it was the Yun family that won.
But now the Yun family has lost its talent and is on the decline. Even though it still holds the title of the number one family, in terms of strength, it is no longer enough to be called a top family. The power it once held has also been divided up by other families.
If the Northern Rong continue to follow their previous traditions, the major families will compete for power and profit.
If this continues, Beirong's national strength will continue to weaken.
But if all power can be concentrated in one person, that is, the emperor of Beirong, and Beirong has a stable regime like Dongqi and Nanyan, there will be at least a few hundred years of stability.
“I’ve never thought about this question.”
At this time, Yun Wuyao thought for a long time and said slowly, "But the people of the current royal family are not suitable, so the Yun family is naturally not suitable. Moreover, the Yun family is the descendant of the Heavenly Master. The family purpose has never been to become emperor, but to fulfill the duties of the Heavenly Master, slay demons and monsters, and seek benefits and avoid disasters for the people. In fact, the one who is truly suitable for the Yun family is like your Dongqi State's National Master.
“As for the other aristocratic families, the Zhou family, the Xu family, the Chen family, and the Wang family, none of them are suitable.
"After much thought, the only suitable one is the Ying family."
Xiao Shuangbao listened and nodded seriously.
She had an impression of the Ying family.
"The hostage sent to Dongqi State is a member of the Ying family. This shows that the Ying family is indeed full of talents. On the other hand, it shows that the Ying family is also quite responsible. From this perspective, the Ying family is indeed good. Has Uncle Wuyao decided to choose the Ying family?" Xiao Shuangbao asked.
Yun Wuyao was stunned when he heard this, and then he smiled.
He said, "I'm just saying this, but you really plan to do this? Do you know how difficult it is to do this? What's more, although you don't admit that you are a member of the Yun family, you are half Yun family blood. The Ying family will not believe you."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Shuangbao shook his head.
"It doesn't matter if the Ying family doesn't believe me. I don't need their trust, I just need them to listen to me. Their proton is still in my father's hands! Besides, grandma is also from the Ying family, so there is still room for discussion with them."
