It has been a month since Guo Yang went undercover to Viscount Chu Ling's subordinates in Chang'an.

And Guo Yang also successfully won Chu Ling's trust.

In fact, this is also a reasonable thing, after all, Chu Ling has just experienced the betrayal of others, and it is relatively simple to take advantage of the situation.

In fact, it stands to reason that Chu Ling should not believe Guo Yang so easily, I have to say that this is Guo Yang's cleverness.

He did not join Chu Ling's command directly, but gained Chu Ling's trust by making friends with Chu Ling.

He is a decent person, but he is neither humble nor arrogant, and it is easy for people like this to gain the trust of others.

So soon Chu Ling regarded him as his most trusted person.

Except that he didn't give him some things to do, he basically discussed with Guo Yang about anything, so Guo Yang now looks like the third-in-command of the Viscount's Mansion.

By the way, the number one is Chu Ling's daughter-in-law.

In fact, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Guo Yang would never have believed that the dignified Viscount Chang'an was actually a strict wife.

It's a pity that this is the case, I thought that the person who wanted to subvert the Haoyue Earl's Mansion was a vicious person, but I'm afraid no one would have thought that such a person was a strict wife.

From our own standpoint, we will always see others who have plagued us as beasts of prey.

But how can there be a truly wicked person in this world?

People who think this way are naïve and think that this world is black and white.

In fact, most of us are gray.

We stand on our feet and want to define other people as bad people.

Because they undermine our interests.

There is no one, or a very small number of people in this world, who are truly evil and who really want to do bad things.

In the end, it's all just a clash of interests.

The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit.

We have long understood this truth, but we always like to think in our own shoes, and to disparage some people as bad people, so that we can get a certain amount of pleasure on the moral level.

I want to say that in fact, people are almost the same, selfishness and greed are the normal state of people.

......

All right......

I didn't pay attention and said so much nonsense, in fact, what I wanted to express was a point of view, and the good people and bad people in this world depend on their positions.

Guo Yang stood in the position of the Haoyue Earl's Mansion, he had to think about the interests of the Haoyue Earl's Mansion, this is the butt that decides the head, so even if he has a good impression of Chu Ling, it can't change the fact that they are actually enemies.

Guo Yang is no longer the kid who went on a mission for the first time, and he can still understand this kind of thing.

And this month has passed, and it is time for Guo Yang, the shadow, to play his role.

......

In the past two days, a news has come out from Lin'an City, saying that the son of the White City Lord has worshiped He Shengming, a famous Confucian today, as a master.

Many people expressed admiration for this.

But the biggest and most terrifying news is not this, but it is said that He Shengming once wanted to accept the son-in-law such as the Haoyue Earl's Mansion as an apprentice, but he was refused.

I heard that the son-in-law already has a master.

Most people expressed their admiration for Wu Liang after hearing the news, after all, not everyone can do something like this.

Especially He Shengming at that time, he was already a famous Confucian.

It's not a good choice.

Therefore, most people praise his filial piety.

Of course, there are some people who scoff at Wu Liang's choice, but if you think about it carefully, these two choices have their own advantages, and you can't tell who is superior and who is inferior.

But there is one thing that is undoubted, Wu Liang is on fire.

Of course, there are also others behind this.

For example, the Earl of Jinyang.

Earl Jinyang knows very well what he is doing, making a name for Wu Liang, in fact, it may become a talisman for Earl Haoyue's mansion.

Our emperor may be persecuted and paranoid, and he may always feel that these martial arts families want to do something to him every day.

Originally, they were going to deal with Earl Haoyue, but now that Earl Haoyue has such a son-in-law, that emperor must be on pins and needles.

In fact, it is exactly what happened.

Of course, our emperor will not have such persecution paranoia.

Everything in this world has a cause and effect.

Now it's time to explain this cause and effect.

About a year ago.

In fact, the emperor still trusts the Wuxun family.

Of course, there is actually only one person he trusts the most, and that is King Pingxi.

The Wuxun family actually has a way to check and balance, although they have private soldiers, but their military strength is definitely not comparable to the army of the imperial court.

But King Pingxi is different, and the army he leads has as many as 100,000 people on the surface.

This is not alarmist.

For some reason......

Well, I'll explain the reason by the way.

The king of Pingxi is hereditary, and he is also the only king of the opposite sex in Dayuan.

This is not without reason.

King Pingxi was Yuan Taizu's most powerful competitor at the beginning, and one day, King Pingxi suddenly surrendered to the Yuan army as a whole.

As for the reasons for the surrender, the history books do not state it.

just said: "Taizu is wise and martial, and wherever he passes, he looks at the wind and descends." ”

mentioned that when he was canonized as King Pingxi, the history books also praised Yuan Taizu fiercely.

But the exchange of interests in this sentence is actually very huge.

I remember what I said earlier, the original Yuan Taizu was the number one master in the world, and he was an existence that could slay demon beasts.

And the historical fact at that time was that Yuan Taizu personally entered the camp of King Pingxi, persuaded the original opponent, and planted a bloodline curse on that person.

Let that person be loyal to their family forever in this life.

This bloodline curse is very powerful, and it can be passed down completely along the lineage of the Pingxi royal family.

Unless you don't have any more children, as long as there is this curse, it is impossible for King Pingxi to betray the Yuan Dynasty.

But all things in the world are mutually reinforcing, and if you curse this kind of thing, if you can do it, someone can solve it.

So a year ago, the emperor found out that the curse had been loosened.

Although it is not yet completely eliminated, he can no longer order the king of Pingxi.

Of course, King Pingxi at this time couldn't hurt him.

But the emperor is not a fool, he knows that as long as this curse is completely removed, King Pingxi will inevitably rebel.

And before, King Pingxi had already accumulated a very strong power.

Of course, this is not something that has been accumulated in one generation.

Each generation of King Pingxi is accumulating strength.

However, the Yuan emperors of the past dynasties took them lightly, thinking that if the curse was there, they would never have a problem.

At this time, we have to admire the patience and humiliation of the king of Pingxi, and finally won the emperor's panic after lying on a salary like this.

At this time, King Pingxi had already attracted many Wuxun families.

After all, it is the civil officials who govern the world in Dayuan, so it is inevitable that there is a bit of emphasis on literature and light on military force.

This has been the case in all dynasties, and it cannot be said to be wrong.

But with internal worries, this problem is very serious.

King Pingxi and the Wuxun family are already overwhelmed.

Moreover, the emperor also panicked to find that if the Wuxun family took out all their private soldiers at this time, they would have a lot of troops.

At least 100,000.

With such a stroke, the army of King Pingxi is at least 200,000!

What a terrible number!

Coupled with the various court officials secretly recruited by King Pingxi, if King Pingxi rebelled, the world would be in chaos in an instant!

The emperor suddenly felt that he might not be able to sit in this world for long......

But he still wanted to struggle.

After all, he still has some loyal ministers and good generals.

Naturally, there are people who give him advice.

It is normal for all dynasties to have loyal ministers.

Therefore, some people proposed to weaken the private soldiers of the Wuxun family.

This policy was pursued in the name of the New Deal.

Those who resisted were killed, and the private soldiers who did not resist were confiscated, which was equivalent to weakening the power of the king of Pingxi in disguise.

The emperor had no choice but to agree to this request.

There must be drawbacks to this strategy, and the downside is that a neutral force like Earl Haoyue will be coordinated.

The emperor can't help it, after all, there is no perfect idea in this world.

They had no choice but to sacrifice their interests.

This decree has a good effect.

There are many cool officials like Bai Yutang in the world.

They fabricated accusations and beat them into tricks. As a result, the power of countless martial arts families has been weakened or even destroyed.

I have to say, the effect is remarkable.

And after seeing the effect, the emperor couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But there is one thing that he has not ignored, and he has to pay attention to it.

That is because of this incident, which caused many Wuxun families who were originally neutral to fall to the side of King Pingxi, hoping to obtain the protection of King Pingxi.

You must know that the talents cultivated by these martial arts families are basically generals.

are the backbone of the Yuan army.

For a while, it filled the vacancies of many middle and lower-level generals on King Pingxi's side.

And under the elimination of one and the other, there is a bit of a lack of generals like this on the Yuan army's side.

The emperor had already expected this result, and he had already promoted many generals from humble families.

Because he can't help it.

Can you only let King Pingxi go?

That strategy was a lifesaver, even if he knew that it was to quench his thirst, the emperor had to do it.

The Emperor knew very well that King Pingxi was still honest because the curse had not been completely removed.

Once the curse is completely removed, it is bound to be a disaster.

This is already an ironclad thing.

The emperor felt that he had to be ruthless, so that he could deter those who were about to move.

In the past year, everyone in the Wuxun family has been in danger, and the emperor has also seen the effect of everything he has done.

He was a little smug.

And at this moment, the governor of Jiangnan Province sent him a secret letter.

The collusion between the Haoyue Earl's Mansion and the King of Pingxi is described in detail.

The words were so conclusive that the emperor had to believe it.

In fact, the emperor is nostalgic, after all, the old earl of Haoyue's Mansion once saved him.

Although he was ready to take action against the Haoyue Earl's Mansion, if the Haoyue Earl's Mansion was sensible, he was not prepared to do anything too serious.

At most, it is to collect private soldiers, and then deprive Hua Longyu of his military power.

From beginning to end, the emperor had good intentions towards the Haoyue Earl's Palace.

But!

But!

Hua Longyu dared to betray!

How dare the Haoyue Earl's Mansion live up to his trust like this!

It happened that Bai Yutang returned to Beijing to report on his work, and he handed over the matter to him.

Earl's Palace......

Perish!
