Therefore, even if the emperor of the four dynasties is desperate in his own nest, in the face of the emperor of Shendu, who is restricted everywhere, he still has to respectfully bow his head and call his brother, otherwise he will receive the family law.

Family law is ruthless to national law, and it has always been so.

After listening to Er Qidong's story silently, the old man was silent for a long time, and said, "Tell me, what kind of person is my eldest brother in your feelings?"

Er Qidong thought for a while and said, "I think the rumors in the Shendu that he is black and sinister I think are too speculative and shallow, in my feeling, His Majesty Xuanyuan is really a person who is difficult to see through. ”

"Oh, you've always been known for your accurate eyesight, your accurate appraisal of characters, and the characters you can't see through?" said the old man with interest.

This is a bit of a curse, Er Qidong silently wiped a cold sweat in his heart, but he knew that His Majesty often came to this kind of "grace and power" move, and he still looked like he didn't understand the deep meaning on his face.

He said respectfully: " His Majesty's reputation is excessive, and it seems to make sense to say that His Majesty Xuanyuan is cynical and improper, and he is indeed a little bit in his bones, but it makes sense if he wants to see it as an illusion; if he wants to say that he is not greedy for power, he has not had any discord with Qin Xiang so far, and the harmony between the monarch and the ministers seems to make sense, but from his occasional words and deeds, he is not indifferent and detached; many times he will feel that he is particularly cautious, and only stares at his own one-third of an acre, and his vision is cramped and difficult to match with the identity of the emperor, but occasionally a small thing, but he can see a kind of boldness that does not stay in things, and he looks at the long term, which is difficult for people to reach; he often gives people a kind of majesty without the supremacy of the emperor, and he is so peaceful and casual that it is not like words, you can know from Qin Xiang's attitude that he can't really be a person at the mercy of others...... So in my eyes, he is a very complex, even contradictory person. ”

The old man smiled: "It seems that you have a high opinion of my eldest brother!"

Then he asked, "What do you think he invited us to discuss this time?"

In the national letter, leaving aside those vain and meaningless rhetoric, the meaning is very clear, "describing friendship, business affairs", and this first point can be ignored.

Er Qidong said: "This Weichen also doesn't know, I only know that before the secretary's pavilion officially passed the letter of state, Qin Xiang and General Wei Chi rarely gathered in the Liangyi Hall and discussed secretly with His Majesty Xuanyuan until late at night. As for what they were secretly discussing, there has been no news, and several of the prime ministers' close ministers in the Secretariat's cabinet, and the person in charge of drafting the important memorabilia, should also know, but they have not appeared during this time, and I think they must have been temporarily placed in a secret place for the sake of secrecy. ”

It seems that this is really the rhythm of big things to discuss!

The old man frowned, nodded, and said no more.

And the same thing is happening in three other places.

Moreover, they were not only talking about their common "big brother" with their confidants, but they were also discussing and discussing with each other, and they also speculated about the purpose of this invitation.

To put it bluntly, although the law of etiquette stipulates that they are brothers to each other, and the general trend of the world makes them indeed close together as brothers, this is all for the sake of interests.

They are all supreme emperors in their bones, not to mention these strange brothers who are tens of thousands of miles away, even if they are brothers, what is it.

Brother Xuanyuan naturally knows this, which is also the main reason why he didn't even pick up the wind and wash the dust, and let the younger brothers who came from afar repair for a day first. The "romance" that was busy when they first met, everyone was a little uncertain in their hearts.

However, on the whole, his "younger brothers" are still trustworthy, this is not due to friendship, but because of the situation.

Throughout thousands of years of history, the Four Emperors have always been the most resolute allies on the imperial front, especially in the face of the kingdom of the heavens, they have always been unconditionally obedient to the outside world, and the few discordant notes that were quickly served by the "family law" can only be regarded as an example, and cannot be used to question the deep affection of the younger brothers for their elder brothers.

Brother Xuanyuan concluded that as long as he can do two things, one is not really stupid enough to have a heart-to-heart relationship, and the other is not to touch and interfere with everything within their dynasty, then his younger brothers will be the right-hand man of the empire in the future world changes.

There are objective reasons why the Four Emperors are so desperate for the empire.

Even the Tianyuan Empire has had the experience of the destruction of the national Zuo and the usurpation of the throne by the ministers, but there are more similar experiences of the Four Emperors in the four corners, the most dead is the ancient Shang Dynasty in the east, the political system has changed over and over again, and the lord of the country has repeatedly appeared in various brain wrecks, playing himself to death, and being killed by others There have been nine times in history, and each time, it is in the empire that the elder brother and the other three younger brothers help him resurrect, and sort out all the decay and depression for him, and create a new atmosphere that only existed at the beginning of the dynasty, which makes his national Zuo continue to this day。

And even the most honest northern Gu Zhou Dynasty lost the country three times for various reasons, and it was the elder brother of the empire who cooperated with other younger brothers to help him resurrect.

Later, the empire was annoyed by this frequent situation, and the most important thing was to see a great crisis from here - if you speculate about the world with deep malice, for example, if a younger brother just plays himself to death, if there are several hegemonic powers from the north and south of the world in tandem, and then kill one or two younger brothers, then the situation is really a bit unimaginable.

Therefore, nearly 2,000 years ago, the eldest brother and the four younger brothers agreed on a family law. If there is a younger brother who is really disagreeable and makes a mess of family business, then as long as the elder brother has the support and consent of another younger brother, he can directly replace the position of the head of the family of this disobedient brother, and cooperate with several brothers to help him manage it for a period of time, until all the hidden dangers are sorted out, and then the family business will be returned to his children and grandchildren to inherit.

Since then, the younger brothers have been much more honest, and they no longer dare to play the thrilling absolute power game of centralizing power in their own bodies, and since then, there have been a total of three ridiculous younger brothers who have been rectified by this family law, and the national Zuo of the Four Imperial Dynasties has never had a major upheaval.

On the evening of the second day, Wei Sanbao, who was now above 10,000 people in the imperial city, came to report and said, "Your Majesty, everything is ready. ”

Brother Xuanyuan nodded and said, "Then let's invite the four of you to the banquet, we will have a good family tonight." ”

Then he stretched out his hand to the side and said, "Let's go, my queen, my younger brothers and sisters will be taken care of by you, and you must do your best to be a landlord." ”

The queen mother stood up without saying a word, rolling her eyes in her heart, serious things, when they came out of his mouth, it would seem strange.
