Chapter 55

: Everyone is not easy to mess with! (Please collect, vote for me, recommend, and read more)

"Natalie, the Rakshasa Grand Duchess, seems to have no chance of meeting my emperor. However, the emperor is already old and his marriage cannot be delayed any longer. Therefore, the Ai family took over power a few days ago and invited King Cheng to be the matchmaker.

King Zheng of Siam has proposed marriage, you won’t blame the Ai family for breaking the rules, right?”

The person who said these words in the main hall of Xishan Palace was Zhuge Weidao's "good sister" Queen Mother Zheng Zheng Yuhuan. The people listening to her words were the heads of the eight great families, namely King Cheng Zheng Guozhong and King Wu Zhuge Weijiu.

, King Kui Li Tieshan, King Jin Li Baozhong, King Shu Liu Deming, King Mu Jiannan of Guizhou, King Zhennan Wang Zhenwu, and King Zhendong Zhang Yongbin. All of them are the most powerful people in the Ming Dynasty. In addition to the standard prince title, they all have prime ministers.

, official positions such as Shangshu.

Among them, Zheng Guozhong and Zhuge Weijiu are the left and right prime ministers, Li Tieshan, a descendant of Li Laiheng, is the minister of the Ministry of War, Li Baoyi, a descendant of King Li Dingguo of Jin, is the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, King Liu Deming of Shu is the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and King Mu Jiannan of Guizhou is the minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Wang Zhenwu is the minister of the Ministry of Communications, and Zhendong Wang Zhang Yongbin is the minister of the Ministry of Posts and Communications. They all hold heavy fists, and they are not in power alone, but as a family.

Moreover, the power of these big families is not limited to the officialdom of the court, but is also extremely influential at the grassroots level. Otherwise, they would not have been able to evade the royal family for more than a hundred years, and they are still difficult to shake now.

The eight major families have their own emphasis on basic power. Among them, the Zhuge family, the Zheng family, the Zhennan Wang family, and the Zhendong Wang family mainly influence the industrial and commercial circles. Of course, they also control some farmers' mutual aid associations in Jiangnan and South China - this

The Farmers Mutual Aid Association knew at a glance that it was also the work of King Wu Zhong!

While King Wuzhong divided and restricted land, he certainly did not forget to help and organize farmers.

This is what the Farmers' Mutual Aid Association, the Farmers' Mutual Aid Conference, and the Farmers' Mutual Aid Federation do. The Farmers' Mutual Aid Association was initially a huge organization jointly controlled by eight aristocratic families. In addition to helping farmers, it is also responsible for grassroots governance, promotion of compulsory education and military recruitment.

.The backbone of them are all veterans who followed the generals of the eight great families in their expeditions.

However, this organization began to split after the death of King Zhuge Wuzhong, and was partially controlled by each of the eight aristocratic families. However, the four aristocratic families of Zhuge, Zheng, Wang, and Zhang, who were based in the prosperous southeastern region and invested heavily in industry and commerce, controlled relatively few farmers' mutual aid associations.

.As for Li, Li, Liu and the Mu family, they invested relatively little in industry and commerce, but invested more in the Farmers Mutual Aid Association.

Therefore, the farmers' mutual aid conferences in most provinces and the industries that rely on the mutual aid conferences (issuing small low-interest loans, selling agricultural products, promoting improved varieties of fertilizers, pesticides, etc.) are controlled by these four aristocratic families, so these four aristocratic families do not

So annoying!

But Zheng Yuhuan wanted to seize the opportunity of Zhuge Weidao and Natalie getting together, and provoke the eight aristocratic families in a small way.

Of course, she herself is also the eldest daughter of the Zheng family, the top of the eight aristocratic families, and she knows the strength, rules and bottom lines of the eight aristocratic families very well.

Therefore, she chose to expand her authority in two ways. One is to protect Zhuge as the Taoist. The Zhuge family will not object to this, and the Zheng family will not object to it either. Zheng Yuhuan has already discussed it with Zheng Guozhong

They wanted to accept Zhuge as Dao and "treat her like a dog". Secondly, Zhuge as Dao pried away Natalie, so that the Zheng family could arrange for one of their own to take over.

The Zhuge family and the Zheng family acquiesced in Zheng Yuhuan's cover for Zhuge Weidao, and the other six families would not come out as evildoers.

After all, among the eight aristocratic families, the Zhuge family and the Zheng family are the real two leaders!

The second focus of Empress Dowager Zheng was to directly conspire with Zheng Guozhong of the Zheng family to arrange for the princess of Siam to marry the young emperor Zhu Xijin without consulting seven of the eight aristocratic families in advance.

After saying this, Empress Dowager Zheng's beautiful eyes wandered around, looking at the heads of several aristocratic families in the hall, and finally landed on Zhuge Weijiu, and the bosses of the other seven aristocratic families also looked at this capable person.

An old man who knows how to calculate.

The old man is already pinching his fingers to forget it - this Queen Mother is not very peaceful! But she is Zhuge Weidao's woman, and she and Zhuge Weidao are extremely close. If Zhuge Weidao is an ordinary Zhuge, then the old man is

This marriage can be prevented, but Zhuge Weidao is a military advisor! He is also the youngest and most talented military advisor in the Zhuge family military advisors!

Therefore, Empress Dowager Zheng should be controlled by Zhuge Weidao. This should not be a problem, because Zhuge Weidao (original version) has always been very good at coaxing women, and Empress Dowager Zheng has been "captured" by him a long time ago.

After thinking about it, the old man laughed: "Okay, this is a good marriage, you can't go wrong!"

Can't be wrong?

The heads of several big families frowned. You didn't even ask about your birth date, and you don't even know the name of the Siamese princess. How do you calculate it? Did you, an old man, have sex with the Queen Mother Zheng?

What deal?

Everyone has questions in their hearts, but no one is willing to go out and go against the Zhuge family and the Zheng family.

At this time, Zhuge Weidao had already dressed up in red and colorful clothes. After finishing dressing up, he sat with his legs crossed under the eaves of the main building of his villa, looking at Yu De, He Tianran, Wang Wen, Guo Xiaobao and Ali.

Busy work outside. Under the command of these people, the team to receive the bride has been organized. Just waiting for the auspicious time, Zhuge Weidao can lead the team to greet Natalie.

This auspicious time was calculated by Nalandili, who was dressed as a Taoist nun. It seemed to be difficult to calculate. I saw this beautiful Taoist nun pinching her fingers and looking at Zhuge Weidao with a pair of watery eyes.

I am so blushing that my face is red even after all hours, no one else is like this!

Zhuge Weidao was also sizing up Nalandili at this time, and I have to say that this girl is indeed good-looking!

Natalie's facial features can be considered beautiful, but compared with her, they seem a bit rough. Of course, Natalie's figure is definitely what makes Natalie hot, she is a female fur bear who has not gained weight yet!

But Nalandili doesn't seem to be bad in terms of figure. She is a half-blood Orchid, and she is also a double-educated product of generations of "eugenics"! It's no wonder that Natalie has fallen in love with her. She doesn't know what will happen in the bridal chamber tonight.

When the time comes, should we deal with Natalie first? Or should we take down Nalandili first?

The challenge seems a bit big!

Just when Zhuge Weidao was a little worried about his physical fitness, he saw his brother Zhuge Weixue running in quickly: "Second brother, the Shanghai Navy Commander has brought Dahei Qiping to congratulate you!"

Shanghai Naval Advisor is Zhuge Yangming’s nickname. Zhuge Weidao went back to the Military Advisor Examination. He was busy with business in Shanghai and did not come to participate. But this time Zhuge Weidao is getting married, and he can come no matter how busy he is - Zhuge Weidao is now attending the Military Advisor Group.

At the meeting, he was already the 18th most important figure in the Zhuge family. How could he not come?

But the big black flush is

"Who is Dahei Qiping?" Zhuge Weidao asked.

"It is Changshi, the great black man of this generation," Zhuge Weixue replied. "The head of the Dahei family has been named Changshi for generations, and Qiping is the real name of the great black man of this generation, Changshi."

In fact, this "Qihei" is not his real name. The word "Qi" comes from the shogun Tokugawa Ieqi.

"What? Is it him?" Zhuge Weidao was startled and jumped up from his chair. He stretched out his hand and took the invitation from his brother. The invitation was bright red, with only four large characters on it, all flush with black!

"Where are they?" Zhuge Weidao asked again.

"We have already arrived at the side hall." Zhuge Weixue said with a smile, "There is a little girl with him!"

"That's right." Zhuge Weidao frowned. It was his ex-girlfriend who brought his father to the door to make trouble!

Zhuge Weixue saw his brother's deep frown and sighed in his heart: "My brother is good-looking, well-born, and talented. Although he likes to play with flowers, he will never get used to them, even if it's Zheng Zheng.

He also eats the Queen Mother's soft rice. Why is he so reluctant now?"

Just as he was thinking of this, Zhuge Weidao gritted his teeth and said: "Forget it, I'll go see them right now!"
