Wu Feng took out a set of clean clothes from the Qiankun bag, put them on, and returned to the Iwakura Palace.

The next day, after a busy day's work, Wu Feng went to see Deng Aihou, who led him to his reception room.

"Xie has broken into the realm of blood exchange, thank you for the generous gift of the hall master. Wu Feng smiled, his words were respectful, but his expression was very ordinary, without the slightest hint of groveling.

Deng Aihou clapped his hands and said: "Okay! Such a talent as you is indeed extraordinary, both civil and military, worthy of the name of the disciple, and your achievements in the future are limitless! ”

I saw Deng Aihou suddenly stand up, cover the door tightly, and set up a screen.

This screen is made of mahogany inlaid with sound-absorbing mica stone and has a beautiful form. But Wu Feng knew that the biggest use of this kind of screen was to control the sound in the room, so that it would not leak the slightest bit, so as to prevent eavesdropping.

Obviously, Deng Aihou had private words to say to Wu Feng.

"What's the matter with the hall master?" Wu Feng asked.

Deng Aihou shook his head and sighed, with a sad look on his face.

Today, when the two were talking, Deng Aihou was not putting tea on the table, but grape wine from the Western Regions. I saw Deng Aihou pick up the wine glass, take a deep sip, and then said slowly: "The proposal to send an envoy to Tianzi Peak to form an alliance was vetoed. ”

"Veto?" Wu Feng actually understood something when he heard this, but he still asked: "Except for Hua Junshi, who still has this power?"

Deng Aihou said: "In Iwakura, the position is only below me, but it is not the Chinese military division......

Wu Feng asked, "Could it be Ling Zun?"

Deng Aihou said: "Of course it's my father." Iwakura's system is a collegiate system of important ministers, and any bill needs to be discussed by the hall lord and the important ministers, and the former hall lord who lives in seclusion also has great power. Although he now lives in seclusion in the sub-city on the other side of the hillside, he has very convenient control over many of the wealthy clans in the territory of the Iwakura Temple, and makes those wealthy clan leaders enter the dock fort on time to meet them. ”

Wu Feng said: "However, the hall master's father has abdicated after all, so it is impossible to control more than half of the power of the Iwakura Palace, right?"

"The problem is that the system requires only one-third of the voters to veto the bill. ”

He gritted his teeth with hatred: "My father is cowardly and self-righteous by nature, although he passed on the throne to me, he has been constrained everywhere over the years, and he has let the lord of the hall act steadily all day long. It was precisely because he controlled too much power that I was unable to integrate Iwakura Hall and carry out drastic reforms. This time, the proposal was also vetoed by him on the grounds that if the news leaked, it might cause a large-scale attack by the Divine Hall, and he led a group of wealthy clan leaders to veto. ”

Wu Feng was at ease. It seems that the antagonism between father and son in the Iwakura Hall has reached a very serious point.

In a situation like Iwakura Hall, where father and son are opposed, the various factions that do not want the hall master to centralize power will naturally gather under the banner of the former hall master and use the former hall master to oppose the hall master's centralized actions.

And Deng Aihou's father, Deng Rong, is indeed too conservative as Deng Aihou said. Although Wu Feng's gift to Deng Aihou was not a good idea and was a useless strategy, leaking secrets was actually not too terrible. Whether or not the temple annexes Iwakura depends on the development of the temple's own strength, whether it can create a stable diplomatic environment so that the annexation process is not interfered with by the outside world, and what does it have to do with whether Iwakura itself is obedient or against itself?

Back then, the State of Qi was as obedient to the State of Qin as its own grandson, and it was destroyed when it was time to be destroyed.

If the Great Zhou Imperial Court did not intervene, if the Jingzhou Army did not threaten the lower part of the Shentang territory, Su Mengzhen would be as simple as digging for the Iwakura Palace. It's like an old saying: What does it have to do with you to destroy you?

On the contrary, if the matter of the alliance between Iwakura Hall and Tianzi Peak fell into Su Mengzhen's ears, it would make Su Mengzhen a little jealous. After all, the strength of Tianzi Peak is stronger than that of the Divine Hall, and the Iwakura Hall is behind him, so at least it can add a little trouble.

Wu Feng already knew what he had to do. But he still has to wait for Deng Aihou to speak.

If Deng Aihou hadn't made up his mind, he wouldn't have come up with that idea. After all, this is a violation of human ethics.

However, if it is the food of the king, the worries of the king are different, and obedience is the duty of a retainer.

Wu Feng pondered for a while: "How is the hall master's heart?"

Deng Aihou gritted his teeth violently: "Little Brother Xie must be a happy person, so I said it directly." Deng decided to admonish his father and eradicate the traitors around him in order to take over the real power in the palace! As for the consequences, I could not have predicted. After so many years, I can't bear it anymore, I have no ambitions, but I have been suppressed by that old immortal!"

The so-called Qing monarch side finally wiped out the king. The so-called military admonitions eventually became murderous rebellion. Deng Aihou is already the lord of the hall, and the meaning of the military admonition can be imagined.

"The hall master has made up his mind?" Wu Feng said, he knew that if he spoke out against it now, he would not be able to get out of this door.

Deng Aihou and Wu Feng have only known each other for a few days, and they talk about this kind of thing, and it seems that they have no heart. But this is also a way that leaders often use to gather talented people, pouring out the same as before, pushing their hearts and minds, and talented people should also lose their livers and gallbladders and fight to the death. “

Deng Aihou nodded vigorously. This middle-aged man who looks as beautiful as water is actually an extremely ruthless character.

Jiangdong Ma Boyong exiled his master and seized the real power of the Beifu Army. Li Qing of the Three Rivers Sword Sect imprisoned his grandfather Li Yi before he secured the position of the master of the sect. Shang Qingying, whom you mentioned earlier, also took power from her senior sister. They are only in their teens and twenties to do such a thing. I, Deng Aihou, am forty years old, and I have been thinking about this for many years, and I hope to decide now, it's not too late!" Deng Aihou said loudly, with a heroic air in his words, as if what he wanted to kill was not his biological father, but a person who had nothing to do with him.

This Deng Aihou is also a ruthless character.

It's a pity that nothing big can be done if you are only ruthless and have no accurate judgment of the situation.

Deng Aihou didn't understand at all that the integration of the Iwakura Hall would only make the Iwakura Hall weaker and weaker, because the process of integration would inevitably cause a lot of losses. Deng Aihou's own talent is not as good as Su Mengzhen, and he will not get the opportunity to expand after integration, but will give Su Mengzhen a chance to take advantage of.

It's just that since Deng Aihou himself wants to die, Wu Feng doesn't mind pushing the boat down the river.

weakened the Iwakura Palace, it was easier for him to ascend to the throne and seize power, and if he made meritorious contributions in this incident, he would definitely be more reused by Deng Aihou.

Wu Feng analyzed: "The three examples cited by the hall master are all blatant acts. But except for Li Qing, who relied on his extremely high talent and acted extremely fast, he caught Li Yi off guard, and quickly pacified the interior to prevent the intervention of external forces, the other two have their own righteousness. Ma Boyong was because his master was in power, and he provoked the rebellious people in Yangzhou, and the Yangzhou army and the Jingzhou army had just reconciled not long ago, so he exiled his master to Jingzhou and was under the care of Shenxiao Dao. And Shang Qingying is because her senior sister is jealous of Xian first, she can claim that she is forced to defend herself, and because she has accumulated great prestige by quelling civil strife before, the wealthy family is on her side...... I don't know the above advantages, how many hall masters are there?"

Deng Aihou was stunned, and Wu Feng immediately said: "If you act openly, Su Mengzhen will definitely take the opportunity to intervene, once you can't overcome it with one blow, it will cause trouble......"

"Will the plan come out?" Deng Aihou asked, looking at Wu Feng's expression, he understood that Wu Feng did not want to stop his plan, but had a better plan.

However, Wu Feng's words meant that Deng Aihou's ability was far inferior to Li Qing, Ma Boyong, and Shang Qingying, and Deng Aihou did not show any unconvincing intention at this time.

A wise man must point out the defects of the other party at a critical time, suppress the momentum of the other party, and make the other party agree with him and seek a solution from himself.

The battle of wits is also a battle of power many times. Conspiracy is art, yang conspiracy is law, and suppressing the psychology of the other party and obtaining your own advantage is the potential
