Chapter 114: Joining forces
In the inner city, Yao Ce is sprinkling bait into an artificial pond to make a nest, and since he learned this fishing technique from Jiang Cheng, he has fallen in love with the sport of fishing.
He also went to the wild river outside the city to try, but the effect of the wild river is still not as good as the artificial pond this side of the fish, it takes a long time to attract the fish, how can he have so much time, unlike here, only a tea time, can attract a large group of fish, to achieve the effect of a tyranny.
Of course, Yao Ce knew that in fact, someone was planning this, he wanted to fish, and the fish in the pond were going to be starved for a while, but what did it matter, he was just enjoying the fun.
Yao Ce likes to fish like this, and soon swept the entire Yongdu City, so that I don't know how many fish suffered.
"Yo yo, what a big fish"
Not long after the bait was put down, Yao Ce noticed that a fish had been hooked, but the fish was too big, he couldn't lift it for a while, and he still needed to slip the fish, and the surrounding guards wanted to come over to help, but Yao Ce stopped him with his eyes.
"Yao Xiang wants fish, why bother"
Seeing that Yao Ce's strength could not hold on, a voice sounded, and the surrounding guards were suddenly shocked, they didn't notice anyone approaching at all, but when they looked up, they saw a person falling from the sky.
"The Eldest Princess"
As soon as Yao Ce let go, the fishing rod was taken off, but Li Hongsleeve made a flash of inspiration and brought the fishing rod back in one fell swoop, along with the fish that was more than ten catties long.
"Go down."
Yao Ce said to the guards and subordinates, Li Hongsleeve was not going to do anything to him.
"Yao Xiang, your fish"
"Fishing is about fishing, if you want to eat fish, just go out and buy one"
"Yao Xiang's kindness"
"The eldest princess is here, she won't talk to me about fishing."
"Red Sleeves has a straightforward personality, Yao Xiang is strange, Red Sleeves came today to cooperate with Yao Xiang"
"What can you and I work with?"
Yao Ce shook his head, he has nothing to do with Li Hongsleeve, he is responsible for the emperor, not the royal family, the princess is noble, but the prime minister is also the head of a hundred officials, under one person, above ten thousand, and the favor owed before has also been repaid.
"There are many places where we can cooperate, in the sixty-third year of the Great Wei Dynasty, there are seventeen prime ministers, but there are a few who can go down in history, if you don't do a big thing, how can Yao Xiang write a stroke in the history books"
"The name in front and behind, the eldest princess has hit the old man's weakness all of a sudden, but it's a pity that it's not enough"
Yao Ce shook his head, he is not short of money and status, and at his point, he will pursue fame, there are so many prime ministers in all dynasties, but how many people can go down in history.
"If I remember well, this year Yao Xiang has a place to recommend the disciples of the Immortal Pavilion, I will accept the person you recommend as a disciple, within three years, he will definitely enter the Immortal Gate, the entire Immortal Pavilion, there are only two people who can make this guarantee, one is me, the other is the dean, but the dean will not promise anyone, and I am also the first time to give a promise"
"What are you going to do?"
Yao Ce raised his head and looked at Li Hongsleeve, this sentence undoubtedly moved him, before the Great Wei, winning the name behind him was the highest pursuit of scholars, but after the Great Wei, their highest pursuit was to enter the immortal gate and seek immortality.
Even if Yao Ce doesn't have a chance, but his descendants have a chance, once they become an immortal family, they can enjoy at least decades of glory and wealth, even if they don't become a real immortal, the family will have great benefits.
"Cutting the Domain"
"The king of Zhennan will definitely rebel, and I don't need to force them anymore"
"I want the other two kings with different surnames to fight together"
"The eldest princess is not afraid that the harm caused by the three kings with different surnames will be too great, causing the Xianmen to be condemned?"
"No, because in the land of Great Wei, the Li family is still the strongest, and the Li family can't pay tribute to the Xianmen, and the rest of the families are the same."
"You can't do this thing, no one dares to do it without the Holy Authority's instructions."
Yao Ce is still extremely calm, although the temptation is great, but he will not easily agree, he is the head of a hundred officials, as soon as he moves, it represents the meaning of the imperial court, if the emperor does not nod, then he is against the emperor, the price is too great.
"The saint is happy to see this, but the saint will not agree openly, back then Taizu promised the three princes with different surnames to divide the world, but you also saw it, and the king of Zhennan was attacked, and the saint was not soft, so as long as you did it, the saint was naturally happy to see it"
"Eldest princess, you can lie to others about this, but you can't lie to me."
Yao Ce shook his head, he was promoted by the emperor, if he disobeyed the emperor's order, then he would suffer.
"Yao Xiang, I've said all the good things, you really don't agree?"
"Is the eldest princess going to say something bad?"
"That's right, if you don't agree, I'll pack up the people you recommend together, I've decided to attack the people of the three kings with different surnames who are asking the Immortal Pavilion, if you don't agree, help me fight their ministers in the court, then don't blame me, I promise you, as long as I Li Hongsleeve is asking the Immortal Pavilion for a day, it will be impossible for the people you recommend to enter the Immortal Gate."
Li Hongsleeve showed her fangs, no one dared to deny that Li Hongsleeve had this ability, the whole Wenxian Pavilion, except for the dean, Li Hongsleeve's cultivation was the highest, and Li Hongsleeve's identity was special, she wanted to target someone and destroy someone, it was too simple.
"Eldest princess, I'm the prime minister, do you know what you're talking about?"
"Do you want me to repeat it, no one can stop what I want to do, you have the ability to sue me"
Li Hongsleeve sneered, the entire royal family Li Clan, except for those who entered the Immortal Gate, is still the strongest Li Hongsleeve, Li Changqing They are certainly not low, but don't forget, Li Changqing They are already in their eighties, even if the great grandmaster can live, how old is Li Hongsleeve, the Li family will rely on her Li Hongsleeve for the next few decades, otherwise why did she do so many things, the royal family can still allow her to come.
"You..."
Yao Ce is going to be angry, shame, the prime minister of a country is so threatened.
"I'll put it here, you cooperate, I will ensure that your people enter the immortal gate, can you live forever, can you make your Yao family evergreen, that's his ability, but if you don't cooperate, then your Yao family will never have this opportunity"
Li Hongsleeve said coldly, except for threats, she has no conditions to impress Yao Ce, so she can only coerce and lure.
Li Hongsleeve got up and walked around, and soon, a middle-aged Confucian came out from behind, and this person was Yao Ce's confidant.
"Yao Xiang"
"Did you hear that?"
"Yes, the eldest princess didn't shy away from me"
"What do you think?"
"Although the eldest princess was keen on political affairs before, she has always been cautious, but since last year, she has opened and closed widely, completely ignoring the previous influence, I am afraid there must be a reason"
"Li Hongsleeve was wronged in Xianmen before, she is the first disciple of Dawei to come back from Xianmen for more than 60 years, no accident, it should be the suppression of the Li family by Xianmen, so that Li Hongsleeve is very dissatisfied with Xianmen, since last year, Li Hongsleeve's temperament has changed greatly, so you have to consider the people around her"
Yao Ce replied, Xianmen's attitude towards the Great Wei Li clan can actually be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, it is obvious from the emperor's accession to the throne, and they will also receive some news from Xianmen, although it is not much, but they are all top smart people, and they can guess some.
"If it's someone around her, it should be Jiang Cheng, except for Jiang Cheng, there have been no newcomers around the eldest princess in the past two years."
"Jiang Cheng is indeed a very suspicious person, and the poverty alleviation plan was also made by him, and his martial arts are very high, and he defeated the demon in Nanzhou"
"These two brothers are very interesting, his brother Jiang Wu is Hu Yu's person"
"The prince of the country is a priest of wine, and it is rumored that he is the prime minister of the people"
"Hu Yu's peach and plum are all over the world, and the court is full of protégés and former officials, and they don't deal with us"
The staff replied that Hu Yu did not have a high official position, but his influence was particularly great, and he had taught too many students, and it was estimated that one-third of the ministers of the DPRK and China had a relationship with him, and they did not deal with Yao Ce.
Yao Ce relied on the emperor's grace to ascend to the throne, and advocated listening to the emperor, while Hu Yu was the old school of thought, and he had to have his own ideas under the platform of governing the country as a scholar, and sometimes he would conflict with the imperial power and follow his own ideas, so he was not very good with Yao Ce's side.
"Then what do you think, what do you think of Li Hongsleeve?"
"I'm afraid it depends on the meaning of the royal family, if the royal family doesn't stop it, then it's a tacit acquiescence, Yao Xiang doesn't need to be this villain, cutting the feudal domain has been a strong court since ancient times, except for the end of the dynasty, the existence of a king with a different surname will not be allowed, more than sixty years, the court should also do it"
The staff replied that for all dynasties, the kings with different surnames at the beginning of the founding of the country have been cleaned up, and there is no accident, at least a few years, at most one or two decades, and only the Great Wei family can last for sixty years.
The existence of kings with different surnames is also very unfavorable to the imperial court, Nanzhou, Xiliang, Beizhou, the imperial court's edicts are not as good as the three kings with different surnames, and their influence will also radiate to the surrounding state capitals.
The key is that the king with a different surname also has a quota to recommend and ask the Immortal Pavilion, and at the same time, there are also their people in the Xianmen, if their status in the Xianmen exceeds that of the Li family, it is very likely that the Li family will be replaced from the top down, so cutting the feudal domain is definitely what the emperors of the past dynasties want to do the most.
"It's really time to do it, in recent years, Dawei's taxes have become less and less, and there have been more and more disasters in various places, and there were many state capitals that suffered from floods and droughts last year, and it would be more serious if it wasn't for Li Hongsleeve running around for more than a month."
"Then Yao Xiang can push the boat down the river, and the saint will investigate it, and he will push the eldest princess out."
"I'll think about it again, you go down first"
"Yes, Yao Xiang"
The staff nodded, and then he exited the mansion and went out, he sent a henchman to whisper a few words in his ear, and the henchman left quickly.
