The old emperor shook his head, and his face was relieved: "I can't help you much anymore, and the last thing I can do is to help you find out all your enemies......"

"Erchen understands," Di Yunting tried to calm his mind: "If there is only one voice in the court, then there will be too many whispers under this one voice to be indistinguishable, and if there are two voices, then the discord under one voice will gather under the other voice, which can be clearly distinguished." ”

"Haha, it's my unicorn. The old emperor was so happy that he didn't even say anything.

It is said that the emperor's mind is the most unpredictable, but a father's love for his son cannot be concealed.

Di Yunting never felt that the old emperor was alarmist, after the Duke of Zhenguo went, the court was indeed clear for a long time, but people's desires were always uncontrollable, and if they got more, they wanted to get more, and those meritorious families when the Great Qian founded the country were like this, and these meritorious magnates who had followed the Duke of Zhenguo to enrich the country and strengthen the army were also like this.

The 17th family 300 years ago was not the same as it is today, except for the Sanji Wang clan, which spanned the ages, how did the other 14 families come about? It is not the position on which countless corpses are buried, their power is all separated from the imperial power, and when their power is greater, the imperial power will naturally be less; their power will be reduced, and the imperial power will be greater.

In addition, the monopoly of resources by various major factions has never diminished.

Otherwise, the old emperor is the supreme of the Ninety-Five, even if his qualifications are not good and he can't use martial arts, then he can always go to Xianmen to get a life-prolonging pill, and he will live a long life, but now it is not only difficult to reach the ancient rarity, but also endure the torture of illness.

The resistance of the imperial court to the Xianmen is on the one hand, and on the other hand, there is no compromise between the royal family and the family.

Looking at the old emperor's haggard face, Emperor Yunting felt sad in his heart, his brothers were squirming, and he died young, if he didn't have Nie Haifeng's strong support, he might not be able to become a grandmaster, and it is foreseeable that the next path to his Dharma body will definitely not be calm.

The father's consideration is not wrong, even when the Zhenguo Gong was in power back then, there were not a few people who violated the yang and the yin. Being able to find these guys before they ascend the throne can save you a lot of trouble after ascending the throne.

For Di Yunting, what he is most afraid of is not the enemy, but the kind of goods that oppose you under your banner.

In the early days of the first emperor, due to the existence of Zhenguo Gong, Da Qian did have only one voice, and Zhen Guogong did solve a lot of shortcomings for Da Qian, but there were many problems left, after all, it was difficult to adjust, and no one could satisfy everyone's appetite.

Zhen Guogong's last return to power did strengthen and consolidate the power of the first emperor, but Zhen Guogong is not a person, he represents a whole interest group, he is gone, but the seventeenth family, the ten giants are still there.

At that time, the Wuji Zhao family, the Honggu Yang family, and the Qinping Li family rose strongly, and the Lingyou Sun family also took root in the border region, and finally formed the pattern of the seventeenth family. The local upper-class Fengting, Heluo League, Dajiang Gang, and Green Forest Road grasp the economic lifeline of the empire. Even the treacherous and ghostly guy of the Old Spirit King kept making small moves in the northwest, and he gnawed the fat of Qianbao.

Daqian is indeed strong, but that does not mean that the royal family is strong.

On the contrary, the actions of the Zhenguo Gong left a far-reaching hidden danger, that is, the power of the prime minister overrode the imperial power.

Since the departure of Zhenguo Gong, Wuji Hall has indeed never had an existence that can oppress the imperial power, but it has not returned to the words of the Taizu period.

The status of the political affairs hall created by the seventeenth family is increasing day by day, and the government decrees are all issued in one door, and the emperor's edict needs to be discussed in the political affairs hall if it wants to take effect. Di Yunting is not saying that this method is not good, it is indeed better to learn from the strengths of others, but the question of who is the dominant one needs to be fought for.

Since the first emperor, a large number of children from the poor family and the declining family have been promoted, in order to compete with the seventeenth family. The old emperor directly incarnated as an iron rooster, and every ounce of power was firmly grasped in his hands, so that the major families had no way to speak.

The two generations have accumulated to the Diyun Court, and they have obtained the support of the military group centered on Nie Haifeng, the Ding Li help of the Yulong Tang family and the Xihan Chu clan, and the marriage of the Jin Yulin clan. These resources gave him the power to influence the direction of the empire before he ascended the throne.

Of course, the major families are not soft persimmons to be slaughtered, there are those who support the new emperor, those who contact the immortal sect, those who are close to the three kings, and even those who step up trade with the grassland ice field are too numerous to mention.

In the midst of all his thoughts, Zhang Yingyu, the head of the inner chamberlain outside the door, reported: "Your Majesty, the political hall Cui Gong, Zu Gong, Zheng Gong, and Su Gong ask to see." ”

"What's the matter?" the old emperor's voice was weak, but its majesty was undiminished.

"The chaos in the song has subsided, and the next appeasement and punishment, the princes hope that they and His Majesty can come up with a charter as soon as possible. Obviously, Zhang Ying has already carefully explained it in case the old emperor inquires.

"Ahem," the old emperor coughed twice, and replied without thinking: "What else is there to discuss, everything is according to the ancestral system, and if you are disobedient, you will be exiled to the Eastern Wilderness." But after thinking about it again, the princes came together, and they couldn't help but see it, which was the minimum respect for the prime minister. So he rushed out of the door and said, "Go and invite the princes to come in." ”

"Yes, please come to your court. ”

Then the old emperor turned his head to the thoughtful Emperor Yunting and said: "If King Xi is fine, stay in the palace to rest today, and ask your queen mother to prepare a family banquet at night to catch the wind for you." ”

"Thank you father, the son of the minister retired. ”

Exiting the Warm Pavilion, Di Yunting's face was strange, Quzhong was in Lingqu County, it was the territory of the Lingqu Su clan, and the bandits in the land of Gyeonggi were really opinionated, but the father and emperor didn't say a word and threw them all to the Eastern Wilderness to mine, completely reckless of the consequences, and doing so was also to pave the way for themselves.

This kind of means of weakening the power of the family is not only not clever, but a little naïve, but as a father paving the way for his son's ascendancy, the heart of Chichen can be seen in general, so Di Yunting really doesn't know how to evaluate this matter. I can only retreat to the corner and look at the back that is still trying to shelter from the wind and rain even though it is weak, and enjoy this last peace.

Fortunately, he has a plan for the next road, just wait with peace of mind, and the rolling big will inevitably come.

......

Chen An took the shackles, swung a sledgehammer, knocked the half-human-high black and red ore in front of him to the size of a human head, and then lifted the half-human-high ore and threw it into a constantly vibrating machine on the side, and obtained a fist-sized stone from the exit.

This stone is a type of raw ore called Hemocrystal.

Daqian's mechanism and some mysterious weapons can be used to operate, and the energy required mainly comes from three ways.

One is called gas, which is the heat energy released by the burning stone or other burning substances, which is stored in a special way to provide energy for some organs; the second is called Fu Yu, which is the energy generated by the immortal cultivator by carving the rune array containing special power, he is more used in the mystic weapon and some spiritual weapons, and the last one is called the energy of the source force, which is the most widely used, almost all the organs and instruments, the spiritual weapon magic weapon can use it, and it comes from a natural mineral called the source crystal, and the immortal gate is more often based on the color of the source crystal, it is called the spirit stone or the fairy crystal。

Second, Daqian has also made use of electricity, wind, magnetism, and other energies, and research units such as the Mogong Palace, the government institute, the Luban Academy, and the Public Transmission Society have spared no effort in their research in this regard, but so far they have been limited to some technical reasons, and there have been no further breakthroughs.

Therefore, under the current situation, source energy, or source power, is an indispensable pillar for the entire Daqian World and even the Xianmen Haotian Realm, and the source crystal that can provide the source power is even more precious, and it is even directly used as currency in the Haotian Realm.

Of course, the source power comes from the source crystal, but it is not only the source crystal that can provide the source force, just like the ore under Chen An's feet, the raw ore of the blood crystal, it can be turned into a spar with red unknown impurities after processing, and it can also provide source power for machinery, but because there are too many impurities, the utilization rate is not high.

But even this can't bear the large amount, the entire Eastern Wilderness Continent can be seen everywhere, although the Great Dry can't look down on the harsh environment of the Eastern Wilderness, but this kind of blood crystal is a good thing, so they braved the harsh environment to open more than 40 mines outside Taiyi Pass, and used criminals to mine for it.

Lu Ran, next to Chen An, was also doing the same gravel work, and the work assigned to them at a young age (judging by appearances) was relatively easy, and most of the other adults were escorted down the mine, such as the sloppy young man who lived in the same room with Chen An.

Lu Ran was still in a trance last time he was disturbed by the corpse of the old man in the same room, and the slightest movement was like a frightened bird, curling his body, staring wide-eyed, and looking around vigilantly. The reason why he didn't find a place to hide in the first place was because for him, there was no safe place in the ghost place of the Eastern Wilderness.

In fact, it is true, after only staying here for three days, Chen An knew why this place was called the Land of Extreme Evil, the Land of Curse.

Because this place is always shrouded in a ubiquitous but imperceptible evil aura, people or things living here are eroded by this evil aura all the time, and those who are slightly weaker and can't resist it can easily be transformed into a bloodthirsty monster by this evil aura, which is called a blood demon. Blood demons are not limited to people, but can also be animals, plants, and even dead things.

Even if the ore in the mine cave is in a place with a strong evil aura, it may change if it is left for too long, and it will become a blood golem that is one level lower than the blood demon in terms of speed and strength.

After what happened last time, the sloppy young man also gave Chen An and the others a specific information about the blood demon with a playful face, telling them not to think that the mutated monster was knocked down by the mine's guard sergeant with a few sticks, and he thought that the blood demon was very weak, but in fact, it was just a defective product that had not completed the change, once the blood demon was really formed, which could be resisted by just four sergeants who could only use brute force, it would definitely be a disaster.
