Zhao Huaiyuan had dinner in the palace before returning home. The night was deep, the moon was bright and the stars were thin, and there was an uninvited guest sitting in his room. The visitor was calm, as if he was in his own yard, and when he pushed the door in, he got up with a smile and saluted.

Zhao Huaiyuan frowned: "What does Lord Lin mean by this?" The courtiers and generals sent abroad are actually far more concerned about the turbulent trend of the Jingshi dynasty than ordinary people think, and he has naturally heard of the rumors that have spread around and stirred up the situation before. After all, the likes of Yu Xing will not be able to get on the stage, and if people are linked to it, their status will become somewhat embarrassing, especially those who "serve" two generations of kings like Lin Minzhi.

To put it bluntly, Zhao Huaiyuan looked down on him.

Yan Xilan didn't care, as if he was entertaining guests, he invited him to sit down, and said, "I came here next time to discuss an important matter with the general. ”

Zhao Huaiyuan: "I'm afraid Lord Lin is looking for the wrong person." ”

Yan Xilan: "It's about His Majesty, it's about the country." ”

Zhao Huaiyuan was silent.

Yan Xilan smiled, his expression was full of meaning, "Before that, I have to ask the general to take a look at something first." "After that, take out something from the sleeve - it is a secret edict given by Emperor Wen before his death!

The young man's expression was solemn, and he stood up and opened the edict, "Dingyuan Marquis Zhao Huaiyuan receives the order!"

After he finished reading it, he looked at the kneeling person on the ground with crooked eyebrows and asked, "Now, General Zhao is interested in listening?"

On the way back, the system was puzzled and asked: "Lin Minzhi obviously has such a good hole card, why did he end up like this?"

Yan Xilan evaded the guard, tiptoed, and climbed out of the courtyard wall. The gait is as light as catkins rising with the wind, and the posture is like a leaf crossing the waves, and the light body kung fu has reached the realm. Hearing this, he said, "This is a question of the realm mind consciousness, what kind of blessing it gives to the son of luck." ”

008 had palpitations: "It's terrible, it's just reversing black and white without distinguishing between right and wrong." ”

Yan Xilan glanced at it and didn't speak. 008 endured it for a while, but still couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked: "Host host, can you deduce what method the Boundary Mind Consciousness used to make this edict ineffective in the original world?"

"The edict never lost its validity. The young man shook his head and said, "In the imperial society, the emperor symbolizes absolute authority, who dares to question it?" Therefore, the key point is that it is still not in Lin Minzhi's hands. ”

008 was shocked: "Can such a thing still be given away?!"

Yan Xilan's face was unteachable: "Let me ask you, what is the political position of the Lin family?"

008 was a little dazed, and replied honestly: "Royalists." ”

Yan Xilan: "So, who will be his weakness?"

008: "The Emperor...... Huh?!"

Yan Xilan ignored its surprise, and Gu Zi asked, "In whose hands is Ji Jincheng in the original world?"

008 was speechless.

Ji Liuguang suspected that Lin Minzhi was not a matter of one or two days, since the original owner saw Emperor Wen for the last time, the seeds had been planted. He always thought that Emperor Wen must confess, or arrange some back road for Lin Minzhi, and what can make him so jealous must be closely related to him, which is why Ji Liuguang must put Lin Minzhi to death. ”

Yan Xilan paused, and continued: "The reason why Ji Liuguang and Li Sheng were able to succeed is that on the one hand, Ji Jincheng can't withstand the wind next to the pillow, and on the other hand, the young man sighed: "I guess Lin Minzhi probably misunderstood Emperor Wen's hints, so that he didn't read the secret edict at all." ”

At that time, he took out the edict and wanted to open it, but Emperor Wen held his hand and shook his head to stop it. At that time, he had just arrived, and he had not yet had time to bring any butterfly effect, so he should have experienced the same as the original owner. Let's talk about Emperor Wen again, he stopped Lin Minzhi, not to pretend that the so-called time must not be opened, but to warn him that it is not safe here.

According to the information obtained from Zhang Changshi, Ji Liuguang and Emperor Wen spent some time alone in the palace, and no one knows what they talked about during this period. Ji Liuguang will not be a person who likes to do useless work, let alone give such a large sum of silver taels for nothing. There must be a reason for everything, and in that smokeless war, he must have been suppressed by threats. Ji Liuguang couldn't and didn't dare to bet on whether the other party's arrangement would suddenly make trouble and detain him quietly in Yong'an City, so he promised heavy profits, intending to confuse everyone to get out.

Emperor Wen also felt threatened by the other party, and his uninvited arrival meant that there were people in the forbidden palace, and he couldn't tell where he was looking. If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, he is about to die, and he has no strength to stand up and fight, so he can only protect the people he wants to protect as much as possible, leaving the fire.

But his thoughts were ultimately in vain. Yan Xilan sighed and said.

008 followed with a long sigh: "Human beings are really complicated, and their feelings are good and desired. After finishing speaking, he jumped high as if he suddenly thought of something, and said in surprise: "The host is so patient this time, he actually answered Xiaoba's question." ”

Yan Xilan tilted his head and looked at it with a smile.

The little system instantly came back to his senses and rubbed his trouser leg flatteringly. The young man let it be coquettish and rubbed like a leg pendant, and his demeanor and tone were as gentle as a gentle breeze and drizzle, "Little Ba, Little Ba, I treat you like this, naturally I have something for you to do." ”

008：…… Sure enough, this is its host! Suddenly I feel so familiar and safe!

"What is the hostel going to do with Hachi?" the system asked cautiously.

The young man was still smiling, and 008 couldn't help but have an ominous premonition.

The next morning, Ji Jincheng made another big move. Without warning, he announced that he would carry out a reform of the fiefs of the kings, and on the basis of "building many princes and less their strength*", he adjusted the hereditary system of the eldest son of each county and state for generations, changed it to the joint inheritance of the eldest son, the second son, and the third son, and further "showed grace", allowing the princes and kings to divide the land to the remaining heirs at their discretion, and these side concubines who received the land became new candidates after declaring to the imperial court and receiving the title from the emperor himself, and so on.

This move is called the Huili royal family, but in fact, it is the fact of cutting power by dividing and dissolving, so as to prevent the vassal king from sitting in a big disaster and the central government, and then producing a moth like Ji Liuguang.

As soon as these words came out, the courtiers all secretly gasped, and secretly said that His Majesty is really iron-blooded and resolute. If this reaches the ears of the vassal king, those with different intentions must not immediately rebel. Thinking of this, he invariably swept towards Yan Xilan, who was standing under the prime minister, with his afterglow, only to see the other party's pine and cypress clubbing, with a calm look between his eyebrows, and he couldn't see a trace of abnormality.

Everyone felt a pang in their hearts, and they understood that His Majesty had been planning for a long time this time, and it was imperative.

Some people were also observing Li Sheng, and then they were extremely surprised to find that the Pingjin Marquis, who had a smiling face all the year round, rarely stopped, lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.

Immediately afterwards, Ji Jincheng changed his words and mentioned that he had ascended the throne since he was a child, and he had not seen several Wang uncles and brothers for several years, so it would be better to get together on Chinese New Year's Eve this year to comfort his feelings of missing his family. Then he said that the wind is the rain, and sent people to various places to preach the edict.

The courtiers were dumbfounded, what are you planning to do?!

Without waiting for them to think about being ugly, Ji Jincheng Shi Ran said: "It's better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, and you Aiqing will also come." ”

Ministers: "...... Promise. ”

What exactly does Ji Jincheng want to do, even if Ji Liuguang can't know ten out of ten, he can guess seven or eight points. He even had the leisure to joke with Yan Zhichun, who had just been tortured: "This nephew of this king has a lot of heart. ”

Yan Zhichun knelt in the study without saying a word, the criss-crossing whiplashes crawled all over the entire upper body, and the red and swollen scars were lined with white skin, which looked particularly shocking. Ji Liuguang's expression seemed to be a little lost, he walked up to Yan Zhichun, raised his chin, and his eyes were melancholy and amorous: "Why don't you like to talk anymore? ”

Yan Zhichun lowered his eyes: "My subordinates don't dare, Your Highness Xie is very loving." ”

Ji Liuguang looked at him carefully, and saw that he was still a dead face who didn't eat oil and salt, so he let go of his hand with little interest, straightened up and sat back. "Get up and get down to business. He held his head and showed sarcasm: "What a stone three birds, he is trying to force the anti-king, a good name to take the king to the knife, once successful, not only to solve the big trouble, but also to play a role in killing chickens and monkeys for the new deal, and since ancient times, the king has been defeated, at that time, as long as the king is confirmed to spread rumors, he and Lin Minzhi can be washed away, and even against the army, so as to highlight the king's ill-intentionedness." ”

Yan Zhichun listened silently, and at the end, he asked respectfully: "Your Highness, do you want to go back to your subordinates for this Hongmen banquet?"

"Not necessarily. He was sure that the king would go to the feast. Ji Liuguang narrowed his eyes, "Because we all know in our hearts that this is the best choice." ”

The loss of internal friction is immeasurable, rather than injuring the enemy by a thousand and losing 800 by hard work, and finally taking over a devastated country, it is better to compress the scope of the battle, reduce the radiation surface, and minimize the loss as much as possible. After all, who likes to eat a cake that falls on the floor.

But to do so, the difficulty factor is definitely not low.

Yan Zhichun hesitated, "It happened suddenly, and the preparation was not sufficient......"

"It doesn't matter, it's not much more expensive. Ji Liuguang said: "Inform Baili Xi and let him connect with the Beidi envoys, and say that his request is agreed to by the king, as long as he can cooperate with the play." ”
