"Sir's meaning is understood, although this method is not the best policy, but it is also a better policy. However, if the royal guest intervenes and does not give some benefits, I am afraid that the royal guest will not agree, and Mr. Zongbo can understand what Ben Hou means. ”

"That's why I asked Master Hou below, but I can deliberately accept the guest for my own use. If it is unintentional, Hou Ye has to ask for it, and he must pay some price and cannot take it back. If you take the royal guest for your own use in the future, you can treat each other sincerely and take advantage of it.

And today, if you can accept the guests for your own use, it will help you dominate the world in the future. And only in this way can the prince's difficulty be resolved, and he can also use this to delay the dispatch of troops in the future and strive for a chance to breathe. ”

Zong Botai had a bump, and Bailiyan suddenly realized:

"I see, Mr. thinks that after the crown prince ascends the throne, he wants to act unfavorably to this marquis, and if there is a royal guest to help, this catastrophe can be resolved."

"Exactly!" Zong Botai affirmed, and then said: "The royal guest does not interfere in state affairs, but the armpit man is a great evil, and the Hou Ye is involved in the danger of the world, and the royal guest has no reason to sit idly by and ignore it, so the prince's catastrophe can be solved." However, if the prince does something unfavorable, the prince can think of the abolition of the establishment to stabilize people's hearts. ”

Yuke has not interfered in the affairs of the princes for hundreds of years, Baili Yan has a good personal relationship with Yuke, even though he is famous all over the world, but it does not mean that if King Xian has a justifiable excuse to take his life, Yuke can save his life.

First of all, if the head of the royal guest gives up his son, and wants the king of Xian to keep people and not kill, the royal guest owes the king of Xian a favor, and he has to pay it back in the future, so it depends on whether it is worth it.

Secondly, Bailiyan is a child of Saiqian, but he is not a member of the Yuke Gate, and the Yuke can not lend a hand.

Third, the energy of Baili Yan is not afraid of all the princes in the world, if the royal guest saves his life, it will inevitably cause the princes to worry, worried about what deal the royal guest will make with Baili Yan, especially the transaction on the weapon, which will make the royal guest a big side, and even become a prince in the future, which will cause the disaster of killing the royal guest is very unfavorable.

Therefore, the nobody's royal guest will not be saved, and the famous one also has concerns. If the crown prince wants to do something unfavorable after ascending the throne, the royal guest will be passive whether he intervenes or not.

But further, when the world is in danger, Yuke has a powerful means of arbitrarily disposing of the situation, and at that time, it is possible to let you release people with face, and it is possible to kill without giving face, and it is this variable that Zong Botai is planning.

Agreeing with Zong Botai on countermeasures, Bai Liyan decided to go to visit Xiao Gongyi, the head of the royal guest, the next day.

The previous smallpox outbreak caused great losses to the main hall of the Royal Guest, but fortunately, the earliest place of onset was in the ear city outside the main city of the Royal Guest, and it did not affect the main city much.

The ear city is also called the sub-city, it is the auxiliary military city on the periphery of the main city, the scale is not very large, the circumference is several miles to ten miles, and it is mostly seen as small fortresses and earthen forts.

This kind of military defense strategy of relying on the main city to establish a sub-city is rare in the Central Plains, and it is the first military idea designed and put into practice by Yuke.

In the Han Dynasty, the first sub-city attached to the main city appeared in China to defend against the invasion of the Xiongnu in the north, and later in the Sui and Tang dynasties, the sub-city was popularized in large numbers, which intensified the fierceness of the siege.

The reason why Zicheng has not been developed today is more due to low productivity and insufficient historical accumulation.

On the one hand, the reason why the Sui and Tang dynasties were widely popularized was due to the fact that the population moved south in the Jin Dynasty, the south of the Yangtze River was developed, and the agricultural productivity increased significantly.

This process lasted for a hundred years, until the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, and by the Tang Dynasty, the expansion of the city was intensified by the successive new populations over the centuries, and then a defense system was formed with the main city as the center, the sub-cities as the support, and each other as horns.

Today, at least 20 years ago, agricultural productivity is low, and building a city requires a lot of manpower and material resources, so it requires a long-term accumulation process.

In addition, the Central Plains did not have the harm of nomadic invasion of the hinterland, and there was no market for the defense idea of blocking the echelons and cornering each other, which also led to many restrictions on the development of the sub-city.

The purpose of building the sub-castle was not entirely for military purposes, but to house subordinate personnel and various institutions.

The sub-city where smallpox broke out was the sub-city responsible for liaising with translators and detaining and screening prisoners of war.

Early the next morning, Bailiyan drove his horse to the Yuke Lodge, and when he saw Xiao Gongyi, Su Fangxin and others, his eyes were red, and it could be seen that he had not slept all night last night.

Xiao Gongyi is forty years old this year, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, thick lips and slightly blackened lips, a strong physique, and calluses on his hands, which shows that he is a person in the army.

It is the successor of the head of the royal guest three years ago, he was born as a military soldier in his early years, and then he entered the military machine door to study the rule of law and politics, and he made many achievements in the battle of the southern border, and was sent to the Chichi for recuperation due to serious injuries, so Bailiyan has never met with him.

After some greetings, Bai Liyan showed his intentions, but Xiao Gongyi looked a little depressed, and he said:

"Yesterday I talked with the Son of Heaven until late at night, and the Son of Heaven's attitude was extremely indifferent, which made Xiao very disappointed, and today I wanted to go to the house to meet the Marquis of Yongxing, and then discuss the matter, I don't want the Marquis of Yongxing to condescend to come, Xiao is not very grateful."

"Master Xiao is serious, it is related to the danger of the world, and it is incumbent on him, but I don't know if the head of the family has persuaded the Son of Heaven to convene a meeting of princes to discuss the armpit monster?"

"Alas......" Su Fangxin sighed, and continued: "The Son of Heaven said that the envoys of Zhao, Song, and Jin have not yet arrived, and it is not easy to gather the princes to discuss the armpit stranger, so he has not responded for the time being. ”

"Then why don't you bring the white man who can speak the original dialect into the confrontation to set the record straight?"

Xiao Gongyi shook his head and said:

"It took a long time to get the man back to the main hall, and in order to avoid delay, we needed to get to the bottom of the situation as soon as possible. Moreover, the white man who could speak the original dialect was more than fifty years old, and was in poor health, and if he died of a bump on the road, it would be more than worth the loss, so I had the two of them in the main hall to continue to learn more and learn his language, so that they might be useful in the future. ”

"That's ......"

Bai Liyan twisted her short beard and nodded, approving Xiao Gongyi's approach, but her decision to make the news public was obviously a bit hasty.

First of all, regardless of whether the current world has this level of cognition, it is just whether the heart can accept it. Second, even if it is acceptable, it is necessary to comprehensively adjust the internal and foreign affairs of the princes of various countries from now on, which is obviously not in the interests of the majority of princes and lacks operability.

Moreover, it is clear that there is no living or bloody lesson to convince the world that there is another intelligent creature and civilization in the world.

Jin Xuedi's people committed a fashion in the north and scattered sand, and now they don't even see blood, and they want to start preparing for war, and the princes can agree.

The modern government blocks all suspicious supernatural events, not only for the purpose of information blockade, but also to ensure social stability. Such as aliens, unsolvable physical phenomena, and even supernatural events, etc., the original intention is still not to cause worry and fear among the general public.

At present, people do not have the knowledge and cognitive reserves of modern people, and when they encounter incomprehensible "miracles", even if they are hearsay, they either disagree with it or worship it as a god, and they don't know how to write dead words until the catastrophe comes.

And today, the son has not officially ascended the throne, but the royal guest told the Son of Heaven that a catastrophe is coming, isn't this the bad head of the Son of Heaven, and no one can be happy.

In addition, there is a matter that has always been a taboo topic for the ruling class, the royal guest has a mystical method, can push the future, can know the rise and fall, since ancient times only a very small number of sects and individuals have mastered, the royal guest is one of them, the Fa Tiandao faction is the second, the Son of Heaven is obviously not such a capable person to help, if there is, it will not be the current attitude, and Liang Guo will not fall to the point where it is today.

Thinking that at this time of life and death, Xiao Gongyi still would not inform the Son of Heaven of the results of the main hall's deduction. If the Son of Heaven knows about this, the first thing he thinks of is not how to clean up the situation, but more to know when he will die, and who will be the surname of the country in the future.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the Son of Heaven does not believe in the method of Xuanyi and scoffs at it. But most of the time it's the first case.

In light of this, the current situation is more intractable than tricky.

In addition to the relatively harmonious relationship between Yuke and Liang in the early years, the relationship has become weaker and weaker in the past 150 years. The place where the royal guest first started was the most chaotic time in the Central Plains, and the northern invasion of the Jin Xuedi people exacerbated the turmoil in the Central Plains, and the Son of Heaven was unable to clean up the situation.

But after the situation is stabilized, who still hopes that every time the world is in turmoil, it is not their own orders, but others to act on their behalf, as time goes by, the Son of Heaven after that takes it for granted that the Son of Heaven can do it, why can't the Son of Heaven do it, and why should he be controlled by others.

As a result, the master of high merit was feared, and the royal guest was blackmailed every time he fought, and over time, the relationship between the royal guest and the Son of Heaven and the princes became delicate.

The only relationship of interest that exists is the covenant between Yuke and Liang State, and Yuke only recognizes the Ji family as the co-lord of the world, which has not changed for hundreds of years.

But the Son of Heaven has changed countless times, people's hearts will change, and the way of the world will also change, but the royal guest has not changed much, so between change and change, someone must be injured.

When the ruling class is constrained by the limited worldview in front of them, the ruler only thinks about his own interests, and either ignores the existence of new things that are far away from the worldview, or is thrown out by the rulers to throw out a conspiracy to seize power by a small group with sinister intentions who covet their rights.

The intention of Yuke to disclose this information rashly is good, but how many people will believe it. From the very beginning, this was a huge mistake.

But taking a step back, if you don't report the truth to the end of the disaster, public opinion may be another story. The most terrifying thing in this world is a person's mouth, and at that time, it may become Baili Yan in order to seek hegemony and conspire with Yuke to cause trouble.
