After listening to Lu Jia's remarks, Bai Liyan couldn't help but cooperate with him to express some concerns, and at the same time, he couldn't be too sure of Lu Jia's words, so as not to arouse his suspicions.

"What the envoy said is just your family's words, but it does remind Benhou Xianguo of the shortcomings of the military system, and it can be regarded as somewhat reasonable."

"Hehe, what Yongxing Hou thinks naturally has nothing to do with this envoy, but as soon as the war starts, the blood flows into a river, which is not a blessing for the people of Xianguo, nor is it a wise move, Yongxing Hou should think twice."

"Ben Hou will think twice, and dare to ask Lu Envoy, where is this third sword."

"Far away, close in front of you."

Bai Liyan pretended to be curious and puzzled, and he asked:

"What does Envoy Lu mean?"

"The Marquis of Yongxing is now extremely noble in the Xianguo country, but the Jin people regard your Excellency as a thorn in their eyes, and they can't get rid of it quickly. Princess Xihuan and Your Excellency have never been on good terms, and the prince is actually dissatisfied with the Marquis of Yongxing, but he does not dare to speak out because of King Xian and the cabinet.

But if the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, he will not allow your Excellency to hold heavy power in a high position, and then the new king will cut power, and there will be Jin people, Yongxing Hou thinks that his situation will be very good! ”

When Bai Liyan heard the news, her face changed, and she asked sharply:

"Everyone in the world knows that Lord Qiao is the wife of my Baili Yan, and the Marquis of Xuanting and Princess Lanyuan are the father-in-law of Ben Hou, Ben Hou and the prince broke their bones and still have tendons, don't Lu Envoys know the reason for being intimate!"

"No, although the Marquis of Yongxing knows that Xihuan's intentions are sinister, he knows that the prince will not be a faint monarch in the future."

"Humph!" Bai Liyan snorted angrily, and then said: "The monarch is virtuous and unvirtuous, faint and not faint, he has his own capable officials to complement each other, and good ministers to support him." Since ancient times, there are countless incompetent and incompetent monarchs, but the ministers are virtuous and supplementary, and the general monarch also has the act of opening up the world. ”

In fact, this is more of a political slogan and an official tone, coming out of Bai Liyan's mouth, he himself does not believe it, but in most cases it is still the truth that most people believe.

As long as a country retains a certain density of capable ministers and excellent officials, the emperor may not be able to completely change the existing national political structure, but this is only theoretical.

In reality, the existing power of the virtuous ministers seriously hindered the nouveau riche group from seeking benefits, coupled with the mediocrity of the monarch, there were often coups and even mutinies, and in serious cases, it rose to a national rebellion, which is the so-called "Qing monarch's side".

All in all, the current historical limitations restrict the cognitive vision of the current people, theoretically the imperial court has the "virtuous ministers and capable officials" plug-in patch, no matter how bad the faint monarch can survive more than ten years or even twenty or thirty years, and then the resulting sequelae, that is also a matter of the future.

Especially in the era of agriculture when the productive forces are backward, the economy and industry are single, excellent and advanced ideas are scarce, and the old ministers and ministers have rich experience and broader thinking, and the stubbornness of the power of the ministers comes from the economic strength that has been formed, only the existing political forces can solve domestic and foreign problems as soon as possible, and the upstart group wants to overthrow the existing forces, which have neither experience in managing the country nor political capital, and it is very difficult to seize power, and the monarch can only take the initiative to adapt or be forced to adapt.

Therefore, coups d'état activities under the early monarchy were not frequent, not to mention that there was a group of capable ministers, that is, one person could prosper the country, and this kind of case of changing the whole picture with the power of one person was very common, but it was still the same premise, the economy was single, the agricultural efficiency was inefficient, the rarity of ideas brought too little optionality, and the solidification of existing interests hindered the seizure of power by the new upstarts.

Even if there is success, it is either a mutation within the power of the minister, or the combination of new ideas and new upstarts has triggered a large-scale social effect, and in an era of low productivity and scarcity of ideas, there are really not many people who rely solely on force to overthrow the existing traditional forces.

In addition, there is often a generation gap between the new monarch and the ministers of Tuogu, in most cases the new monarch is relatively young, in his teens or even in his twenties, he began to pro-government, and then he was in his thirties, and the successor ministers were all fifty or even sixty years old.

Even between the new monarch in his forties, and the new monarch in his teens and twenties, because of the difference in ideas, the difference in experience, the change of perspective, and the influence of the monarch's temperament, most of the ministers and the new monarch have a generation gap.

Ministers who care for their lives often rely on the old and sell the old, intensifying the relationship with the new monarch, coupled with the power of the crown prince from beginning to end, the new monarch's accession to the throne is inevitably the beginning of an unsmooth transfer of power, and the resulting redistribution of interests and power struggle are inevitable.

Therefore, Bailiyan himself does not believe in the theory of "being able to change the monarch", the experience of 5,000 years ago is vivid, how many dynasties are not defeated in the hands of the new faint monarch, when the centralization of power reaches a peak, the inevitable landslide phenomenon.

However, at present, the market for the theory of "able ministers to change the monarch" is still very large, although the agricultural productivity of the Xianguo agricultural technology has benefited the world, but most people's cognition is bound to the existing vision pattern, without these ideas and systematic political system, people today cannot see this blind spot.

In addition, Xihuan's assessment of the rotten plaster Lu Jia is correct, Xihuan's heart of death has never changed in the past 20 years, and the ultimate wrestling with Xihuan will come sooner or later, and it is inevitable that it cannot be changed.

However, there is one thing that Lu Jia is not clear, Xihuan wants to do unfavorable things, Bai Liyan knows it, this Lu may want to get, but he can't imagine that Bai Liyan will not solve this dilemma with a rebellion.

In Lu Jia's view, if Bailiyan wants to protect herself, she must either usurp power and let Xihuan and the prince become puppets in the future, or launch a rebellion and set up a new king.

If the former is successful, Lu Jia reminded Bai Liyan at this time that he may get the political cooperation of the Xianguo in the future, so that the patriotic hegemony will be more active, and in this way, he will introduce the patriotic forces to further consolidate his power in the Xianguo.

If the latter succeeds, Bailiyan still needs the support of the Wei Guo to counter the retaliation of the Jin State. If it fails, it will be even more worthy of the heart of defending the country, and simply send troops to intervene in the name of exterminating the Jin State and supporting the new monarch.

But first of all, most people don't see what a little power is, simply and colloquially it is a kind of authority that gives orders, and it will be very abstract to elaborate, but one thing is certain, the current Xian State is an outlier and even abnormal compared to other princes.

In the early days, the core of the state was nothing more than three parts, one was agriculture, the second was population, and the third was the military. The ruling class only needs to manage these three major pieces, and at most one more lord will seal this carcinogenic rotten plaster.

However, after many years of reform, the lord system existed in name only, and land rewards and large-scale mergers were prohibited by law, so the peasants and land were basically liberated, and industry and commerce rose rapidly, becoming two major additions to the agricultural economy.

Bailiyan can say without mince that Yongxing, Xuanting, and Luhou control 95 percent of the country's industrial output value, 100 percent of advanced technology, and 60 percent of the commercial output value, and they are all under private names.

Because the power of the nobility was also greatly reduced, the Xian king could only use the imperial court to dispatch agricultural production to the world, and could not ask the local lords for help in the situation of family meetings.

Therefore, if the prince ascends the throne, if he wants to hide the rabbit and kill the dog, cook the bird, and cut the authority of the hundred liyan, he can only control agriculture, and the industry and commerce will pay taxes according to the law at most, and the rest of the income will not be a penny, and it will never be like the three major families consciously and voluntarily take out a large amount of profits every year to subsidize the financial expansion and national construction.

If the prince dares to go to extremes and steal his family without property, he will have to weigh the pressure of Luhou and Xuanting and Guangxin, and even more so the conscience of the four counties of Xinfu and the town army in various places.

He Bailiyan is worthy of Jiang Hai, the second is worthy of the people of Xianguo, and the third is worthy of the soldiers of the whole army.

As long as he does not use troops, the actual dominance of Xianguo is in the hands of the three major families, which is also another reason for Baili Yan to seize the time to expand Yongxing, expand the output value of industry and commerce as soon as possible, and reduce the proportion of agriculture while increasing agricultural production capacity, and coerce the prince to bow his head with economic coercion.

Therefore, modern political power is economic activity in the final analysis, and it is the mobilization and redistribution of social resources.

It really reached the sinister point of having to use troops as a last resort, Yongxing's gun was holding in his Bailiyan's hand, who to send it to, who not to send it, he, the Ordnance Department and Da Si Nong, said it, the new monarch is not benevolent, and don't blame his old ministers for being unjust, and then set up a new monarch, it is not up to Jiang Yu to say.

Since Lu Jia is openly separated from him, Bai Liyan naturally can't express his agreement convincingly, the least attitude and position are to be expressed, as for what he thinks in his heart and what he will do in the future, that is another matter.

Seeing Bai Liyan's fierce reaction, Lu Jia expected that Bai Liyan was most likely not really angry, he didn't believe that Bai Liyan didn't notice it in the slightest, the real situation was obvious, and it was impossible for him not to prevent Xihuan from colluding with the prince to turn against him in the future.

It was based on this relationship that Lu Jia suddenly laughed:

"Hahaha......"

Bai Liyan originally felt that Lu Jia should continue to sow discord in another way, but suddenly smiled like this, and the opposite made him feel inexplicable, and he said sharply:

"Why is Lu so laughing!"

"This envoy is Xiao Yongxinghou for more than 20 years, as he has worked hard for the monarchs and ministers of Xianguo, but in the end, he made a wedding dress for others. As Qi people for the Xianguo exhausted their hearts, but the old came to a catastrophe that will never recover, the original is laughing Yongxing Hou I British name buried in his own hands, looking at the past to think that Yongxing Hou is also the first person in ancient and modern times, I really don't know a hundred years later Yongxing Hou is a name in history or a stinky 10,000 years. ”
