The cause of the incident makes people laugh and cry, purely for the sake of jealousy.

Wei Guozhao Linjun's son, two days ago, redeemed a music girl named Die'er from the music building of the Four Seasons Fang, but before that, Die'er had been favored by Bailiche, and negotiated the price, but today is the "big day" when Bailiche came to redeem himself for Die'er and put on a majestic style.

Unexpectedly, Die'er had already been ransomed, and in a fit of anger, she directly flipped the table, and had to forcibly redeem her. Forced redemption, forced redemption, money is not enough, this is very embarrassing.

The price of a woman's redemption is much higher than that of a prostitute, ranging from tens to hundreds of inches of silver at most. Bailiyan doesn't know what the market is for redemption on this piece of land in Jinye, but the girl downstairs is definitely much higher than that of Chenling, and she doesn't have three or five hundred, two or three hundred inches of silver.

For Bailiyan, three or five hundred inches of silver is simply a layer of tartar between the teeth, but for the princes and magnates outside the Xian Kingdom, two or three hundred inches of silver is already a lot of money. Thinking about it, Baili Che also spent a lot of money, otherwise he couldn't be so embarrassed and angry, and his heart must be a nest.

It had been a few minutes since he thought about it, and seeing that Bai Liyan had no intention of intervening, Zhou Kong asked cautiously:

"Do you care at this point?"

"It's taboo for outsiders to interfere with the matter of fighting for wind and jealousy, even if he is my cousin and nephew, this matter is so vicious, wouldn't Ben Hou rashly make a move to ask for trouble. Besides, Zhao Linjun is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and Benhou doesn't want to make extraneous branches. Baili Che is also surnamed Baili, this matter is my sister, and it is not impossible to clean it up, let's go. ”

Zhao Linjun is the most powerful of the five major families of the country, with more than 40,000 soldiers, and the other four major families have more than 80,000 troops, not counting the private soldiers of other feudal monarchs and even feudal princes, although the quality, quality, and equipment of the soldiers are not as good as the patriotic soldiers, but if this is out of Xianguo, it is almost unimaginable huge trouble.

Under the slavery system, the aristocratic lords had their own huge groups of slaves and fiefdoms, and the slaves and commoners constituted both labor and the guarantee of the soldiers.

While the political civilization of the Central Plains made great progress, the patriotic country continued to practice slavery, and at the same time, it continued to absorb the rule of the elite class in the Central Plains, and the political system of dividing rewards with the aristocracy, which eventually led to a situation in which the tiger was raised and the tail could not be lost.

After that, the new policy of Xianguo was implemented, stopping the fiefdom and re-sealing the new lords, in order to curb the expansion of the power of the elite, and instead focused on the development of the economy to control the magnates.

As a result, there are no political and productive conditions in place at home, so they can only make wishes to the domestic elites in disguise, expand outward, and promise external land to the elites, so as to move the domestic elites away in order to free up space for political reform.

First, there is a difference of more than two generations between the system of defending the country and that of Xianguo, secondly, the productive forces and relations of production cannot be adjusted, and finally, people are not liberated, and political reform is nothing but a utopian dream.

The ultimate goal of institutional reform is to serve the majority while allowing the regime to remain more stable and smooth, rather than to serve the minority through political manipulation. Such a notification will precipitate the contradictions in the majority, and at the same time, the increase of the elite class will make the cake that cannot be made bigger and smaller and smaller.

Therefore, the purpose of liberating people is to stimulate people's enthusiasm, make the cake bigger and bigger, and curb the development of the power of the powerful while making the cake bigger, and then the court will get more and more cakes, and the cake of the power will actually be diluted by the court while increasing.

In the end, the economic, military, and political multi-pronged approach was used to gradually disintegrate the harm of the elite forces to the imperial court.

The defense of the country does not have the national conditions and talent base of the Xian country at all, and forcibly pushing forward various kinds of reforms can only kill oneself.

The next day, Bailiche made a big fuss about the Four Seasons Fang, which finally alarmed Bailijuan, and then Li Yi came forward, with the soldiers and horses of the Jingshang Mansion, and invited Bailiche out of the Four Seasons Fang, and the matter did not continue to ferment.

On the twenty-sixth day of October, the envoys of the Jin and Song dynasties arrived in Chenling, and the Jin State sent a condolence delegation headed by the crown prince Ji Jian and Changshi Gaoji to the Liang State to mourn.

Ji Jian is the son of King Ji Jun of Jin and Queen Rui of Wang Shuo, so he was established as the crown prince. Gao Ji is a protégé of Xiangguo Fan Tao, and it is understandable to be promoted to Changshi, there is no accident in the future, Gao Ji will take over Fan Tao's class and serve as Xiangguo.

Since the king of Jin is in command with the crown prince and Changshi accompanying him, it is not only to express his sincerity to Liang Guo with a high standard, but also to convey to the country the arrangements for his future succession.

Ji Jian is the daughter of Wang Rui, and Bai Liyan can't help but be a little moved. However, he knew very well that since the Yunjie Huimeng was humiliated by him, the King of Jin's attitude towards Wang Rui had become worse and worse, and it was not beneficial to Wang Rui and Wang Shuo to rush to the meeting, and he didn't know what kind of thoughts he would have, so he had to suppress the impulse in his heart and continue to observe.

On the third day after the arrival of the Jin and Song condolence groups, Xiao Gongyi met with Ji Tao, the Son of Heaven, again, and proposed to convene a general meeting of the princes on the matter of the armpit people to discuss the best strategies to resist the enemy.

After the fermentation and brewing of public opinion in the early stage, public opinion is almost one-sided and inclined to exaggerate and not believe, and the coronation ceremony is imminent, the Son of Heaven has a more conservative attitude, and he did not refuse, but he did not respond to the request of the guest, and this matter is basically yellow.

Envoys from various countries gathered in Jinye, and the official enthronement ceremony of the Son of Heaven was officially launched, and the coronation was scheduled for November 15, but on the second day of November, Bailiyan received an invitation from the Chengdao faction.

After the death of Uncle Guang, Yuzi succeeded as the head master of the Chengdao faction, Yuzi passed away eleven years ago, Chu Muzi succeeded him, Chu Mu passed away three years ago, and the current head master is Mo Jianzi.

The invitation of the Chengdao faction made Bai Liyan unsure what his intentions were, so he asked Zong Botai for advice:

"Sir, Mo Qingzi invited Ben Hou to talk to each other, do you think there is a clue in it?"

"Hou Ye arrived in Jinye for a whole month, the Chengdao faction did not move at all, and now he suddenly invited the Hou Ye to go, secretly thinking that in the past month, the Chengdao faction must be observing the movements of the Hou Ye, this meeting should have been arranged in advance, just to find out the Hou Ye's mind before this.

If I expect it to be good, the Chengdao faction invited the Hou Ye to meet, and it must be for two things. ”

"What two things?"

"First, Liang Guo is very likely to attack Wei Guo, so Liang Guo wants Xian Guo and Wei Guo to tear up the reconciliation agreement, but this matter is inconvenient for the Son of Heaven to raise, so in the past month, the Son of Heaven has not mentioned anything related to the war to Hou Ye, which shows that the Son of Heaven does not want to publicly offend Wei Guo.

Second, it is the general trend of the world. Now that the rise of Xianguo is becoming more and more obvious, Ji Feng has even seen Yongxing's secret seven or eight times out of ten, and the whole Liang country must be shocked. At present, the compromise between Xianguo and Wei, in the eyes of Liang Guo, is a move by Xianguo to recuperate, and there will be a battle between the dragon and the tiger in the future. If Wei is defeated, and Wei will be defeated, the rise of Xianguo will be unstoppable, which will involve who will enter the Central Plains and even dominate the world.

The Chengdao faction respects the Son of Heaven, and it naturally will not see the Ji family change the dynasty, and must be planning for him, so he thinks that if the Chengdao faction perceives that Hou Ye will help Xianguo to unify the world, the Chengdao faction will set a killer to remove Hou Ye as soon as possible. ”

"Kill me? The Chengdao faction dares to harm Benhou! ”

Bai Liyan shook her head in disbelief, and Zong Botai's expression became more and more serious:

"Master Hou should not forget, the flood of the Black Turban Army, the Sun Kingdom was divided, the Jin Kingdom and the eldest grandson plotted Yongxing, and even the previous gold and silver were short of two, among which there were all Chengdao factions who plotted to borrow knives to kill people. If he borrowed a knife to kill people, Hou Ye would do nothing. ”

"In this way, the next target of the Son of Heaven is the Xianguo."

Bailiyan said heavily, and couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart. At this time, Zong Botai nodded and said with certainty:

"The people with a clear eye in the defense of the country are clear at a glance, not to mention that there are foolish factions who help and abuse, it is difficult to guarantee that the foolish faction had a secret agreement with the Chengdao faction in exchange for the compromise of the Liang State, including the current Zhiguo Gongliang clan, among which there are many eloquent arguments to add fuel to the fire, if the Son of Heaven does not use the situation to divide the princes, he will be swallowed by the princes.

Therefore, the failure to defend the country does not lie in a moment and a half, but in a long-term plan for ten or twenty years. At present, it has only been six or seven years since Wei Guo lived in the Central Plains, and the eloquent argument will definitely be based on Wei Guo, lead Xianguo astray, and buy a foreshadowing for the future plot of Xianguo.

And Hou Ye is the root of the humerus of Xianguo, if Hou Ye dies, Xianguo will not escape doom. Xiong Lundao's meeting with Hou Ye this time is to make a final test, but no matter what the result is, it will not change the malice of Xiong Lundao to overturn the Xian country. ”

"That is to say, no matter whether Benhou intends to dominate the world or not, the final result is only whether Benhou dies or not, and cannot change his heart to overthrow our Xianguo."

"Exactly. If the Xian State is strong, the princes are weak, and the Liang State is even weaker, and only when the Xian State overturns and the world is in chaos, can the Liang State continue to gain a foothold. Therefore, if Xiong argues that he intends to divide the country, make the Liang state take the land of the country, and promise the land benefits of the Xian country, so that the Xian country tears up the agreement with the country, in the next opinion, the Hou Ye must not agree and fall into the trick. This will only lead to the jealousy of the princes and even the consequences. ”

"This ......"

Bai Liyan felt deeply embarrassed, he did not get involved in the war for the time being, in order to better clean up the defense of the country in the future and seize part of the land west of the Sishui River, now he wants to give up these interests, and in the future, he will still go to war to fight against the defense of the country, isn't it thankless.

"Mr. Zongbo, if you don't take the land of Jiangxi, what are the benefits of my Xianguo sending troops to attack and defend in the future instead of taking the land?"

"The land of defending the country is absolutely unwanted, if you swallow the land of the country, not only will the country be resentful, but the other princes will regard the country as a despicable villain, and the situation will be extremely disadvantaged. But if you don't take the land, you don't necessarily don't take the benefits. The people of the Sun Kingdom who moved away from the country were enslaved by millions of people, and the Hou Ye might as well use this as a condition for the armistice to make the country compromise.

Secondly, the threat of the armpit people is already in front of him, and the eldest grandson country will bear the brunt, and if the Xian country sends troops at the request of the royal guest, the consequences are unpredictable. It is advisable to send troops as a capital to order the eldest grandson to cede the two counties of Sangnan and Sangbei to Xianguo. In this way, you can not only obtain the two counties to complete the land, but also convert it into your own in a short period of time, and when the world changes in the future, Xianguo is based on the population of more than 20 million people in thirteen counties, and it is okay to protect itself, and it may not be impossible to fight a war. What does Master Hou think? ”

Zong Botai's strategy is like an initiation, which makes people's eyes suddenly brighten, Bailiyan is full of praise, and he said again and again:

"Wonderful, wonderful, this is a wonderful plan! In this way, you can avoid going deep into the Central Plains and becoming a barbecue, and you can also get the population and land, and quickly increase the national strength in a short period of time, which is really a wonderful plan. ”

"Moreover, the eldest grandson will have a grudge against me for the loss of the two counties, and he will inevitably take the land from Wei Guo to compensate for it, so that Wei and the eldest grandson will become mortal enemies. The road to the east of the country was seized by the eldest grandson and cut off, and there will be no worries to the west of our Xianguo, so that we can operate Beihai with peace of mind and lay the foundation for the future domination of the world. ”
