"For the sake of the checks and balances between the royal family, coupled with the fact that the prince of Zhou is in a righteous position, and the relationship between the royal family and His Majesty is regulated, this is the task of the old man of the prince of Zhou, and the prince of Zhou himself does not like the needle of the sky, and he pushes the boat down the river, so he regards this as an eyesore, and the royal family regards it as a treasure, and handed it over to those princes."

If you say this, the white-faced scholar will understand.

As soon as the checks and balances between the royal family were spoken, he had heard about them for a long time.

It is true that the authority of the emperor is huge, but the princes who are from the same bloodline cannot make their identities too vague.

If you want to be an idle prince, indeed, if Emperor Lidi knew that you had such an idea in your heart, he would definitely be very happy.

But how many people are like this?

Not to mention, I don't believe what you said.

Don't you see Zhou Dunyi?

Back then, he vigorously supported the eldest prince to ascend the throne and become the emperor, and swept away many opposition remarks for him, and the two are still the same mother and concubine, although they are not biological brothers, but the relationship between the two will not be too bad, right?

But what?

After leaving the emperor's ascension, he really didn't do anything to Zhou Dunyi in the first few years, and still retained Zhou Dunyi's special official position as generalissimo.

In the back, after Emperor Li slowly sat down in this position, he first used some excuses to strip Zhou Dunyi of the authority to take charge of the Nanli soldiers and horses, but still let him hold an important position in the imperial court, and left Zhou Dunyi a pro-army of 6,000 under his hand, and then within a few years, Zhou Dunyi even the pro-army of 6,000 people was revoked and disbanded on the spot by some means.

It was not even a chance to expand these 6,000 people into the south and leave other armies, and Emperor Li simply gave these 6,000 people a severance fee, so that they were discharged early and driven back to their respective hometowns, and more than 100 people were not allowed to stay in Jinling City at the same time.

Later, Zhou Dunyi was also secretly promoted from an important post by leaving the emperor with outstanding merits, and arranged an idle post to go up, completely excluding Zhou Dunyi from the power center of Nanli.

Fortunately, the old Zongzheng of the later Zongfu resigned from the old age, and only Zhou Dunyi of this generation of princes was qualified to serve as Zongzheng, and there was nothing he could do to leave the emperor, so he could only let Zhou Dunyi regain some authority and become Zongzheng.

There's an interesting thing about that.

That is, the candidate who was in line with Zongzheng at that time was not only Zhou Dunyi, but there was also a prince who was more qualified for this official position than Zhou Dunyi.

That is Feng Buping, but unfortunately Feng Buping's own temperament has little interest in holding power and serving as an official, and the emperor's methods of Zhou Dunyi over the years have also made Feng Buping quite complaining.

When Emperor Lidi personally came to the door to ask Feng Buping to be Zongzheng, Feng Buping decisively refused the matter and left a sentence for Emperor Li.

That is to warn the Emperor not to be too greedy.

If Zhou Dunyi wants to compete with you for this position, even if you demote him to a civilian, then you can't compete for Zhou Dunyi.

The two of you are not of the same magnitude at all.

Compared with the great prince who was unknown even among the princes, Zhou Dunyi left many interesting stories about him in Jinling City during his time as a prince, and successively served as the generalissimo of soldiers and horses after leveling the coalition of millions of countries.

In the prestige of the people, Zhou Dunyi has already surpassed you by a lot.

Either you get rid of this royal brother who helped you ascend the throne, or you will do something more majestic than the elimination of the alliance of millions of nations.

Otherwise, no matter what tricks you play, how to deprive Zhou Dunyi of his aura, it will be useless.

When the south was in danger, you princes were thinking about how to sit in that position, and only Zhou Dunyi's focus was on how to repel the allied forces.

This is the difference, this is the confidence of Zhou Dunyi to be silent after you play those little tricks!

I alone can command tens of thousands.

In that case, what is the use of me still needing that seat?

Emperor Li naturally understands these things, but he is afraid of Zhou Dunyi, and he is afraid of this younger brother who has obviously shown that he has no idea about the throne countless times.

And in this period, regarding checks and balances, the emperor can't suppress the princes, because among those princes' camps, there are still a lot of hole cards that the emperors are afraid of.

Later, Emperor Li slowly gathered his authority, successively took the military power in the hands of Zhou Dunyi in his own hands, and later gave the old marshal of the Bai family a high position, and took back the army of the old marshal of the Bai family.

At this point, the authority of the emperor undoubtedly overwhelmed those princes.

At this point of checks and balances, the balance shook again and again, but it was never able to reach the point that Zong Zheng wanted to do.

At this time, the hot potato of Tianluo needle has become a thing that can solve this contradiction.

You say that the Tianluo needle is powerful, it is really powerful, and now Feng Buping has said that even if he cultivates as much as himself, if he is pierced into the heart and lungs by the Tianluo needle, he must recuperate and detoxify.

Not to mention, the human life carried on the Tianluo needle is that there is a martial emperor who is more outstanding and wise than the contemporary emperor.

But it's amazing, but do you think that after discovering that the emperor has been hit by the Heavenly Luo Needle, who else will be the first object of suspicion in the country?

This is also the reason why Zhou Dunyi is relieved to hand over the Tianluo needle to those princes, anyway, it depends on whether you dare to use it.

This thing is just for you to protect yourself, if the death of anyone in the country is found out to be because of the Tianluo needle, then you can wait to be investigated.

Seeing that the white-faced scholar could understand at one point, Ji Wuying pursed his lips and looked at Qingtan with a tangled look in his eyes.

This girl, why did she keep looking away after entering the house, but she didn't look at the white-faced scholar.

Oh oh oh yes, this girl kept complaining about the old man yesterday and I don't do things with my brains, tsk, a man's upper body, you girl just took a look at what's wrong, the white-faced scholar doesn't know how many women want to see him can't see, you girl saw it yesterday and kept putting a stinky face on the old man.

I don't understand it, I don't understand it, these young people's thoughts, the old man really can't figure it out.

"Girl, it's none of your business here, you go back, by the way, remember to say hello to the Sword Saint for Bai."

Qingtan hummed quietly, and then walked out of the room quickly.

After Qingtan left, the white-faced scholar pointed to the door of the house at Ji Wuying's face and asked

"Does this girl have anything to do with Lord Swordmaster?"

Ji Wuying rolled his eyes.

You, a scholar, have been stuck in the mountains for the past few years, and you don't know what you don't know, and those who don't know think that you are separated from the world.

However, despite thinking so, Ji Wuying still patiently explained to the white-faced scholar in detail

"This girl, her name is Qingtan, Lord Sword Saint has accepted three apprentices, you know, this girl is one of them, and Ai Song and Kumu have become the three major swords of Nanli, how many years ago did this, you guy, why don't you know."

The white-faced scholar smiled awkwardly, he really didn't know, he had been staying in a secret room in Dongxun for the past few years to practice, if he hadn't been approached by Feng Qiping at the end of last year, it is estimated that he would still stay in that secret room and not see the light of day.

An apprentice of the Sword Master?

It's a little overlooked, Qingtan, it's a good name.

Seeing that the white-faced scholar was deep in thought, Ji Wuying's old face stepped forward and continued to ask with a smile

"You guy, you don't even know about Kumu's descendant, right?"

The white-faced scholar pushed Ji Wuying with little strength in his palm, and replied with a smile

"you, this junior Kumu, the most name I've heard since I got out of the customs is him, but I'm a little curious, is this junior really as demonic as rumored?"

Ji Wuying pursed his lips, spread his hands, and said

"Put your mind at ease, that posterity is only better than the rumors you heard, that offspring's talent is even better than when the Sword Saint was young, not to mention, now his kendo has been preliminarily completed, well, old man, I really can't think of anyone else who can be a rival with this descendant of the same age in the world."

The white-faced scholar opened his mouth in surprise

"Is it so strong? I have produced such a character in Nanli for two consecutive generations, really, really, it seems that even God made me Nanli Zhongxing. ”

Ji Wuying burst out laughing, laughed and pointed at the white-faced scholar with a blank face

"Why am I leaving the south, you guy is not my Nanli now, don't forget, the group of men in black yesterday was against you."

Hearing Ji Wuying say this, the white-faced scholar turned dark.

The white-faced scholar was annoyed when he mentioned this matter, and the Ji Wuying cultivator in front of him was already considered to be a relatively strong group of high-grade monks, but even if he fought normally like this, even if there were ten Ji Wuying, he could easily solve it, and it was impossible for him to be injured at all, and he would not be slightly injured.

But the five men in black were obviously weaker than Ji Wuying, but they made themselves look like that.

Spread it, yes, let alone spread it, Ji Wuying, the old guy has already started to laugh at himself.

But when it comes to this, the white-faced scholar is frowning.

It stands to reason that no one knows the news that he has returned to Nanli except for Ji Wuying, but the group of people in black is clearly coming at him, is this, could it be that there is an internal ghost?

With this thought, the white-faced scholar looked at Ji Wuying, and was about to ask about it, only to hear Ji Wuying speak first

"Don't talk about you, I know what you want to say, don't you just want to know that there are only a few people who know the news of your guy's return to Jinling, but why did that group of people in black go directly at you, right?"

The white-faced scholar nodded.

Ji Wuying paused and continued

"It's been confirmed, it's not the news revealed by someone from our side, you can believe this, it was the Sword Saint who told me personally."

The white-faced scholar's face changed, if it wasn't for the news revealed by those people here, then how could the matter of his return to Jinling be known by those people? Could it be that someone has been secretly watching you all the time?

No, it's certainly not possible.

The white-faced scholar is still very confident in his cultivation, and if he wants to monitor himself without letting himself find out at all, there are few people in this world who can do this, and those who can do this, only Feng Buping is still in the south now.

And it is absolutely impossible for Feng Buping to do such a thing, after all, if Feng Buping sees that he is not pleasing to the eye, he will simply slash out with a sword, and he will not be able to block a few swords before going to see Hades.

Ji Wuying looked at the white-faced scholar's incomprehensible appearance, rolled his eyes and said a name.

After hearing this name, the white-faced scholar was stunned, and then couldn't help but subconsciously shout

"How could it be him?! How, how is it possible? ”

Ji Wuying's eyes stared at the white-faced scholar who was a little out of control, and then when the white-faced scholar slapped the quilt with both palms and roared, he pinched a thin needle in the palm of one hand and pierced directly into one of the acupuncture points of the white-faced scholar.

After watching the white-faced scholar fall into a coma, Ji Wuying let out a long sigh and said to himself

"When I learned the name of this person, the old man didn't react like you, this feeling is like suddenly finding that he has been betrayed."

Inside the house, for a long time, only a long sigh from Ji Wuying was left

"Alas"
