"Brother, why are you doing this? Are we really going to pay homage to Feng Xiang? Aren't the Atbury Army defeated by us? Now our strength is much stronger than then, why are we afraid of Feng Xiang, and that 'Lingbo Fairy Diagram' is ......?"

As soon as he returned to the "Heavenly Phoenix Residence", Li Yuyang rushed into Li Yuxuan's room and asked.

"Do you think the money is not worth it?" Li Yuxuan looked at his younger brother with a smile.

"It's not about money, I'm talking about the dignity of soldiers! Brother, why do you want to kneel down to others!" Li Yuyang blushed and clenched his fists. For a long time, in his mind, Li Yuxuan has been a powerful brother, an elder brother who does not bow to anyone, but today's behavior makes Li Yuyang feel incomprehensible.

"With the lives of thousands of soldiers, with Carol's piece of land, with the fact that we are no match for others now!"

"But ......"

"There are some things I should sue you, not because you are my subordinate or the general of the 'homeland', but only because you are my brother, because you have the same blood in your body as mine, because you and I share the same surname!"

Seeing that Li Yuxuan's expression was getting stricter and stricter, Li Yuyang began to feel the change in the atmosphere, a brotherly feeling that had not appeared between himself and Li Yuxuan for a long time, and it was permeating the two of them at this time. Li Yuyang began to feel the change in Li Yuxuan's role at the moment, from a commander to an elder brother.

"Born in a family like the Li family, I don't know if it's a blessing or a misfortune for you and me. But since God has made such an arrangement, it is destined that we should dedicate ourselves to the rise and fall of this family, including life, love, and dignity. Although I have always been the legal heir of the Li family since I was a child, I have to bear and fulfill many responsibilities and obligations. However, don't forget that you are also a member of the Li family and a member of this family. ”

"Although there are many people under my brother now, some of them are still quite good, such as Li Fang, Xu Ruoyu, etc. Of course, I also believe in their loyalty. But among all of them, you are the only brother to whom I am bound by flesh and blood. They are loyal to me, Li Yuxuan, not the Li family, and they can choose a virtuous monarch to display their talents. But you and I are different, you and I are destined to live and die with the Li family. I can entrust the entire Luo Pingyuan to Xu Ruoyu and Li Fang, and I also believe that they can manage it well, but I can't entrust the Li family to them, do you understand?"

"Brother!"

"Xu Ruoyu, if they can't do it, I can replace them with a group of people. But if you can't do it, I can't find a replacement. Remember, this country is not just for me Li Yuxuan alone, but for the Li family, including you!"

When Li Yuxuan said this, he calmed down his excitement and continued:

"You just asked me why I want to flatter those powerful people in Fengxiang, then I will sue you now. The power of politics is sometimes greater than the power of war. That is to say, sometimes, you can get benefits that you would not have been able to obtain through the guò war. Politics is sometimes cruel, ruthless, and even more disgusting than war. But there is one thing that politics is better than war, and it will never kill more people than it does on the battlefield. ”

"War is a cruelty to the majority, and politics is a cruelty to the few. As a superior person, you sometimes have to sacrifice something about yourself and ignore the cruelty of politics. Because for a larger scale, politics are 'merciful' than war. This sacrifice is the same as our sacrifice for our family. In this case, we only lost more than 100,000 gold coins, but the effect we played was immeasurable. It has intensified the contradiction between the two factions of Fengxiang and the ministers, and we are using the strength of the other party to attack the opponent. ”

"Remember, this needless attrition that occurs internally is extremely dangerous for any political entity. If we can borrow their power to get rid of Feng Shaojun, it means that we may be able to sacrifice thousands, or even tens of thousands of soldiers, on the battlefield. For Feng Shaojun, this may be cruel, and you may think that it is unfair, but it can save thousands of people from losing their sons or husbands. Once Feng Shaojun is dead, then not only will we be able to save Luo Pingyuan, but it will also mean that we can deal with Feng Xiang in the future at a lower cost. ”

"In the current situation where the enemy is strong and I am weak, you can only seize every opportunity that is beneficial to you to attack the opponent, slowly change the contrast between the strength and weakness of the two sides, and finally achieve the goal of grasping the initiative to defeat the opponent. What's more, we don't just represent ourselves, but the whole family. ”

In the end, Li Yuxuan patted Li Yuyang's shoulder and smiled: "As for that painting, don't worry." If Father really knew, he wouldn't be angry!"

Perhaps it was from this day that Li Yuyang, as the younger brother of a generation of emperors, became more and more mature in politics and military.

The next night, the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Feng Xiang's five powerful figures and the two Li brothers were secretly discussing how to deal with the common enemy of both sides, Feng Shaojun, at this time.

"We jointly went to the king to sue him, first took away his military power, and then tried to find a way to deal with him. ”

"No, in the eleven years since my king ascended the throne, how many times have you seen a king execute a nobleman!"

"Yes, if the king is his 'famous saying' again, not only will we not bring down that kid, but we will also be bitten back by him!"

Neither the commercial secretary nor the legal secretary agree with this opinion.

"Yes! This time, Feng Shaojun dared to lead his troops back to Beijing, the purpose was to take our lives, if we were still soft-hearted, what would happen at best, I don't think you need me to say more!" Jiang He's tone was cold, causing several ministers present to shrink their necks.

"The Prime Minister is right. As the saying goes, a small amount is not a gentleman, and no poison is not a husband! Since he is ruthless, don't blame us for being unjust. Shang Shang first chimed in.

"The first strike is strong, and the second strike suffers, now is not the time for us to be merciful!" another scholar agreed.

The other two royal clans exchanged glances with each other and said, "Let's advance and retreat with the Prime Minister!"

"Okay, then everyone agrees now......" Jiang He gestured with both hands to cut off his head.

Everyone nodded with a cold face.

"Where's the virtuous nephew?"

"I follow the orders of a few elders, and I have no objections! But what the little nephew is worried about is the 10,000 ironclad infantry, what if Feng Shaojun comes to break through at that time?"

"The virtuous nephew has just come to Fengxiang, and he may not be familiar with the situation here, so the adult in charge of the guards of Fengcheng will explain it to the virtuous nephew!" Jiang He said with a smile.

I saw one of the two members of the royal family nodding at Li Yuxuan, obviously he was the adult in charge of guarding the Fengxiang capital.

"The garrison of Fengcheng is divided into two parts, one part is responsible for the defense of the city, called the city guards, a total of 18,000 people, under my unified command, and there is a gate guard commander at each of the four gates in the southeast, east, and west, and each commands 4,500 city guards. The other part is in charge of guarding the palace, called the Praetorian Guard, with a total of 8,000 men, and the lord next to me is in charge. Therefore, it can be said that all the defenses of Fengcheng are controlled by us, and the 10,000 ironclad infantry of Feng Shaojun can't make any tricks. ”

It turned out that another member of the royal family present was the commander of the Praetorian Guard, no wonder they didn't take Feng Shaojun's 10,000 ironclad infantry seriously.

"But I heard that the people in charge of the east and north gates are all from Feng Xiaozi's side!" Shang Shang said with some concern.

"Wouldn't it be bad if they came to meet us by surprise when they came to meet us by surprise!" Li Yuxuan reminded.

"Don't worry, nephew, it's okay to hand over this matter to our legal secretary, isn't it!"

"Tomorrow, I'll just find an excuse to secretly detain them, some of the city guards are our people, just find two reliable ones to replace them, and ensure that they don't know the ghosts!"

"However, against the two goalkeepers, of course I'm okay with that. But Feng Shaojun is also a scholar, if you want to arrest him and convict him, without the king's royal order, I can't do it!"

"How could Lord Shangshu be so brainless!" Jiang He said with a smile.

"Please speak up to the Prime Minister!"

"The young monarch of the family is Feng Xiang's hard-working minister, how can he violate the laws of the kingdom? Of course, we can't bring him down, let alone take his life. You also know the temper of our king. Wait a minute, and he'll be magnanimous at the end, and we'll be busy. ”

"Prime Minister mean you want us to come to the dark?"

"Yes, as long as we separate him from the 10,000 infantrymen and let him go into the city alone. When the city gates are closed, it is not up to us to kill or chop them off. Of course, we can't blatantly execute him. ”

"So what to do?"

"Find a few trustworthy people, pretend to be a spy on Basil's side, and ......"

"Yes, we'll be done with a push on Basil!"

"Yes, that's it! It's just that where to find such a master, it's better not to be someone from you and me, otherwise if something goes wrong and is bitten back by Feng Boy, it will be even more troublesome!"

Just when everyone was talking about it, Li Yuxuan, who had never spoken out of his mouth, spoke.

"There are little nephews, this time the little nephews are all good hands in the 'homeland', as long as they can be planned carefully, I believe that they will be able to kill Feng Shaojun without a trace at that time!"

At this moment, although there was still a trace of a smile on Li Yuxuan's face, from his eyes, Li Yuyang saw a flash of cold eyes.
