The emperor stared at Han Xuandao, and the two of them did not continue to speak for a while, and after a long time, the emperor sighed: "Han Aiqing is really well-intentioned, you must have spent a lot of effort when you learned these things, right?" ”

"Ye Wuxun is an arrogant person, but he is not a fool, and the assassination of Huanglin Yuan made the minister feel very surprised. At least in Chen's opinion, even if Ye Wuxun remembered to rebel and plot to usurp the throne, the time was far from coming. After thinking about it, he felt that someone must have instigated Ye Wuxun to take this step behind his back, and the person who could instigate Ye Wuxun to take this step must be an extraordinary person, and he won Ye Wuxun's trust. Han Xuandao said eloquently: "Since the Ye Wu rebellion began two years ago, the minister has secretly investigated this matter, and as the minister knows more and more things, the awe of the saint in his heart has become more and more serious, and the uneasiness in the minister's heart has become more and more serious!" ”

"Uneasy?"

Han Xuandao said solemnly: "When the minister was young, he liked to hunt, and at that time, the minister had a personal entourage by his side, and he was the master of the god's hunting. When Chen first started hunting, he could only hunt some mountain rabbits and roe deer, and wanted to find some fierce beasts to fight, but he could never find them. The minister asked the retinue for advice, hoping to instruct him on how to find the beast! ”

Han Xuandao suddenly said such words, and the emperor naturally knew that of course he was not here to recall the past, which naturally had a deep meaning.

"The retinue told me that the favorite thing of all beasts of prey is the smell of blood. He cut off the heads of the little prey, and blood splattered out, and the smell of blood soon permeated. The minister didn't believe it at first, but it didn't take long for a lot of fierce beasts to come, and he took the minister to hide in the tree, and threw the corpses of those small prey on the ground. Han Xuandao looked at the emperor calmly and asked indifferently.

The emperor said lightly: "When a group of wild beasts saw their prey and smelled the smell of blood that they liked, they naturally rushed up and fought for food. ”

Han Xuandao arched his hand and said: "Holy Shengming, yes, the minister saw on the tree, that group of fierce beasts in order to compete for prey, biting each other, in the end, some of the fierce beasts knew that they were invincible and fled, and the rest were all fighting to the death, dying, the minister's personal entourage took the minister down the big tree and killed the dying beasts one by one, that time, it was a very fruitful hunting harvest for the minister. Because it was the first time that the minister got so much prey, and it is still unforgettable. ”

The emperor said with a smile: "Aiqing's story is very reasonable, if you want to let the beasts kill each other, you must let them see the prey they want, and even more so use the smell of blood to stimulate their beastliness." ”

Han Xuandao said: "After the founding of my Dayan, the country has been very calm, the nine great families help the royal family, and there is a balance of the royal family. ”

"They are all smart, no one dares to poke their heads out first!" The emperor said indifferently.

"If nothing happens like this, then the Nine Great Families of Dayan will always exist, and the royal family wants to find an opportunity to eradicate it, but it is difficult to find an opportunity." Han Xuandao dropped the chess pieces in his hand and said slowly: "The Holy Lord is an aspiring king, maybe before he became the crown prince, he had the ambition to eradicate our family one by one. In the eyes of your royal family, since the world has been defeated, our original meritorious families have become a stumbling block to your monopoly on the Yan Kingdom, and the trick of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge to unload the mill and kill the donkey will exist in all dynasties, and this dynasty will naturally be no exception. After a pause, he took out another piece from the chess box and continued: "But it is not easy to eradicate our Nine Great Families. My nine great families are entrenched in the six counties of Yan Kingdom, and if I am not afraid of the Holy Father's blame, in the states and counties, a sentence from the head of the family is probably more effective than the Holy Decree of the Holy One. ”

The emperor also left a son, and said with his head bowed: "I don't blame you, because you are telling the truth!" ”

"The family has such strength, and it is naturally not easy for the royal family to cross the river and tear down the bridge." Han Xuandao chuckled and said, "And when the Holy Lord was young, he discovered this and had already thought of a way to deal with it!" ”

"I look at it, the government and the opposition are all family factions, my royal family wants to achieve great things, but we must not tear face with the family, if you are in a hurry, I am afraid of endless disasters." The emperor's voice was low and cold: "So I thought about it and knew that if I wanted to eradicate the family, I needed to rely on the power of the family. He looked at Han Xuandao and sneered: "The Nine Great Families of Great Yan, which one is not ambitious, just like the nine-headed beast that you found its prey in the story just now, the more incompetent I seem, the more interested you will be in the chair I sat on." You have not moved for a long time, but you are just restraining each other, and no one dares to take the lead in making the first bird. I have long understood that if I want you to fight, I must let you smell blood, and as soon as the smell of blood does not come out, you will continue to endure. ”

Han Xuandao shook his head and sighed lightly: "The strength of the saint's strategy is so strong that the minister is ashamed of himself!" ”

"Han Aiqing doesn't have to be polite." The Emperor smiled indifferently: "If I want you to smell blood, I must make some of you go crazy. After I ascended the throne, I didn't seem to pay much attention to the government, but many people also saw that I was giving in to the Ye and Wu families step by step, allowing them to become more and more powerful in the court, and I even repeatedly added the Ye and Wu clansmen, making them even more arrogant in the government and the opposition...... How many people have impeached the officials of the Ye and Wu clans, and some people have even accused the Ye and Wu families of exploiting themselves in Bozhou, and they even bought war horses, smelted iron and opened mines, and recruited troops to train the army, but I reprimanded them and said that they had nothing to do, at that time, I was afraid that everyone thought that I was an incompetent faint king, and I was afraid of the Ye and Wu families and did not dare to be angry with them, right? ”

Han Xuandao bowed his head and said: "The Manchu Dynasty was indeed thinking like this at that time, and even the ministers had this idea occasionally. It's just that the minister really couldn't imagine that the saint had another plan for all this, so that the Ye and Wu families had the ability to rebel, and it also fueled their arrogance and arrogance. ”

"What can set off the smell of blood, I calculate it, and the Ye family is the most suitable, so I and Shangguan Qing set up what you call the soul-breaking strategy, and even staged a big drama in the East Palace, so that everyone thought that I broke off with Shangguan Qing'en, only in this way can Shangguan Qing enter the Ye family's staff, gain Ye Wuxun's trust, and finally offer that soul-breaking strategy." The depths of the emperor's eyes were slightly colored: "Shangguan Qing is worthy of being my cronies, and he has been in Ye Mansion for more than ten years, until two years ago, I felt that the time was ripe, which made him offer a soul-breaking strategy." Everything was as I thought, the Ye and Wu families rebelled, and then they were wiped out by the family army. Shangguan Qing followed the best plan in advance, and when the Ye and Wu families rebelled, he had already secretly left Ye Wuxun, and when the turmoil was calmed down, he quietly came to Zhao Xiqiao's side to assist Zhao Xiqiao in controlling Bozhou County for me. He smiled faintly at Han Xuandao: "Han Xuandao, your wisdom is very appreciated by me, fortunately there is no character like you in the Ye and Wu families, otherwise my soul-breaking strategy will definitely not succeed." ”

"The saint has won the prize." Han Xuandao dropped his chess pieces, "The smell of blood that the saint wants to see has dissipated, and what is even more terrifying is that the rebellion of the Ye and Wu families has actually caused the balance of my Dayan family to fall apart, it seems that the Xiao and Su families can compete with each other, and the saint even promoted my Han family to balance the power of the family, but all this is not to say that the saint really wants to stabilize the court situation, the saint does this, saying that it is to stabilize the court situation, it is better to stabilize the heart of our family and deliberately show an attitude to our family!" ”

"What attitude?"

"The Holy Ones act cautiously. After the Ye and Wu families were destroyed, the saint may have been very happy in his heart, but he did not change his cautious style. Han Xuandao stared at the emperor's eyes: "You just want everyone to feel that your royal family still wants to see the balance of the family, or hope that everyone will be safe, and you don't want too much turmoil in the Yan Kingdom." The Holy Lord promoted our Han family, so that everyone firmly believed in this, with such a cover-up, no one would think that the rebellion of the Ye and Wu families was caused by the Holy Lord's plan. But the saint knows in his heart that the order of maintaining the stability of the country for a hundred years in my Yan country has been shattered because of the fall of the Ye and Wu families, and it is by no means easy to rebuild a balanced order, and more importantly, the matter of the Ye and Wu families has made the smell of blood that the family has not smelled for a long time diffuse again, and the remaining major families, not only the blood has begun to become hot, but each family has become panicked, because the result of the extermination of the Ye and Wu families has made the remaining major families think about a question, that is, Which family will be the third to perish? ”

The Emperor listened attentively.

"Everyone knows in their hearts that the punishment of the Ye and Wu families is not the end, but the beginning, and since a bloody drama is on the stage, it will not end soon." The look in Han Xuandao's eyes deepened: "The coexistence of nine wolves, plus a fierce tiger, is an extremely dangerous situation, such a situation has existed since the first day of the founding of the Great Yan Kingdom. If it weren't for the balance laid at the time of the founding of the country, my Yan Kingdom would have been in chaos a long time ago, and it is estimated that several of the major families would have ceased to exist. The balance of the situation has allowed the major families and royal families to be safe and quiet for a hundred years, and no one dares to break it easily, but the Holy Lord uses the Soul Breaking Strategy to break such a situation, so no matter how hard they try, the major families have entered a period of restlessness, and the smell of blood is pungent, and they can't be contained. He raised his hand slightly and said, "Why did the Simon clan rebel?" The reason is very simple, although the major families know that the chaos has begun, but they are still trying their best to wait for the opportunity, but the Ximen clan is the weakest among them, and if there is a fight, the Simon clan is undoubtedly the easiest to solve. The Ximen clan, who were fascinated by blood, saw this, and in their opinion, it was better to sit still than to give it a go, so they took the risk, and in the end, they also ended up in the end of the death of the clan. ”

"Han Xuandao, it is said that Taishi Xiao is as cunning as a fox and has insight into everything, but I think that I am the first traitor fox in Dayan, and you Han Xuandao deserve it." The emperor sighed: "I am not sorry that I lost at your hands! ”
