It's the dead of night.

In the city of Danyang, there is the sound of horses' hooves from time to time.

I don't know how long it has been.

Dense footsteps rang out from outside a tall building.

With the sound of pushing the door, more than a dozen figures quickly rushed in.

Indoors.

Yin Tong has been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Yin Tong, Li Mo had a gloomy face and asked, "County guard, what are you doing?" Now the court is staring at us? If the matter of our private contact is known to the court, we will not be able to eat and walk around. ”

Officials chimed in.

"yes."

"What can't you say during the day? Does it have to be at night? ”

"If this attracts the attention of the imperial court, I don't know how they will guess us."

"It's hard to fool the past, if you make a mistake at this time, it's all over."

“.”

There was a burst of dissatisfaction among the people.

Yin Tong smiled slightly, and was completely uneasy about everyone's doubts.

He took a sip of tea, chewed the taste of the tea lightly, and said with a smile: "This tea from Xianyang does have a bit of taste, and it is sweet after bitterness, just like our current situation." ”

"Yin Junshou, what do you mean?" Li Mo was puzzled.

Yin Tong put down the tea bowl and said lightly: "You should all have received a notice from the imperial court." ”

Li Mo did not answer.

He turned his head to look around, and everyone's eyes flickered, and it was clear that they had all received it.

Yin Tong said slowly: "What do you think of the imperial court's practices?" Or maybe what's in mind? ”

Everyone was silent.

Li Mo hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "I have indeed received the notice from the imperial court, looking at your faces, I am afraid that you have also received it, the imperial court will not expose the matter of our whistleblowing, and will do a certain cover for us, and the imperial court will also take the reason of 'there is a son of heaven in the southeast' when it takes action in the future." ”

"It's good for us."

"It's just that I don't know what the county guard wants?"

Li Mo did not answer directly, but threw the question back.

Yin Tong stared straight at the tea bowl with his eyes, and the corners of his mouth opened and closed slightly: "You don't have to be so cautious, you probably all have some ideas about the measures of the imperial court, everyone is full of books, how can you really not see the intentions of the imperial court?" I'm calling you here to make my point. ”

"As originally thought."

"We had people in place long ago."

"When the imperial army is dispatched, these people will immediately send a message to the nobles of the six countries, so that they will have a certain amount of time to escape, and then let the nobles of the six countries have some losses, but they will not break their muscles and bones, and we can also use the imperial court surveillance as an excuse to make a certain defense for ourselves."

"But"

"You and I actually know it."

"This is completely self-deception, with the nobles of the Six Kingdoms being close to me and others, we made these decisions without informing them, which would already cause them to be dissatisfied, and the imperial court attacked so vigorously, with the arrogance of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms, in the end, they will be angry and blame us and others."

"You probably don't have any objections, do you?!"

Li Mo and the others nodded.

They have been talking to the nobles of the Six Kingdoms for so many years, and they still have some understanding of the temperament of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms.

These people rely on their past illustrious family backgrounds, and they don't take them seriously at all, although they do have some respect in their ordinary contacts, but they are only in awe of their official body, and they don't actually put themselves in their eyes at all.

If not, I wouldn't have calculated them like this time.

The nobles of the Six Kingdoms fought because they did not dare to betray them, and even could only ask their nobles for help in the end, but how could they be people who had no temper?

Li Mo said: "County guard, what do you want to say?" ”

Yin Tong said coldly: "The arrogance of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms is well known to the world, we have calculated and cheated them, and when they react in the future, they will definitely settle accounts with us. ”

"I have commanded it."

"So that the messenger doesn't have to preach the message."

Hear the words.

Everyone was shocked.

They really didn't expect Yin Tong to be so resolute.

There is no retreat at all.

Forthwith.

Li Mo seemed to realize something, showing a hint of surprise, and couldn't help but look Yin Tong up and down, revealing a thoughtful look.

Long.

Waiting for the surroundings to be quiet, Li Mo said slowly: "According to the intention of the county guard, we can 'plan as planned', act according to the arrangement of the imperial court, and blame all the disasters suffered by the nobles of the six countries on themselves, and completely take out us?" ”

Yin Tong nodded.

He stood up, his eyes sharp.

"I know that many of you are very close to the nobles of the Six Kingdoms, but you must always understand that the reason why the nobles of the Six Nations are close to us is not because they really want to get acquainted with us, but because they just want to borrow the power in our hands to benefit themselves and seek space for their survival.

"They are nobles of great proportions."

"In their eyes, we are at best a cloth cloth and a poor family."

"There's a natural divide between the two."

"This time, they would even rather wait for me to die, rather than cover up for me."

"The attitude is already exposed."

"Rather."

"Why should I care about their faces?"

"They are unkind, and we are unjust."

"What happened in the county this time can be divided into two things."

"One is that the imperial court rectified the rule of officials, and we were forced by the situation to hand over other officials to protect themselves, but did not disclose the Xiang family and other nobles, and the imperial court sent people to infiltrate Huiji County early, and also secretly found out some information, but did not have too much useful information, but the nobles of the six countries themselves preached that 'there is a son of heaven in the southeast', which caused His Majesty to be angry, and finally His Majesty ordered a thorough investigation, and at the same time promised to provide information to be treated favorably, and the imprisoned officials confessed all of them in order to reduce their sentences and save their lives."

"We don't know anything about it."

"Because all we know is that these people have borne the sin for us."

"And when the imperial court was mobilizing, we closely monitored the imperial court, and we didn't dare to make any moves, let alone hear any rumors, and when we learned about it, the imperial court had already sent people to search for it, and even if we went to deliver the message, it was too late, so we finally gave up."

"We have done our best to the nobles of the Six Kingdoms."

"If they hadn't taken the initiative to stir up trouble, they wouldn't have been able to cause trouble to themselves."

"They brought it on themselves."

"After this."

"The nobles of the six countries are in Kanto, to be precise, in Huiji County, the strength and influence will definitely drop greatly, even if there are nobles who can escape, it will definitely not be too many, if these people come to the door and want me to do things for them and help them regain power, we can use the excuse of the lack of officials in the county, and there are too few officials who can be used by us, and they dare not risk their lives and send these people back."

"This is Huiji County."

"We're the officials of Huiji County."

"The fifteen counties under our rule are all under our rule."

"Why look at them?"

"If they insist on asking me and others to help, then it's okay, we have fellowship with them with Eli, then we want to be mercenary, and the nobles of the six countries don't show enough sincerity, then don't blame us for not remembering the old feelings, after all, you have heard some news."

"The vacant officials in the county will eventually be filled by the Qin people."

"I will be subject to a lot of restrictions in the future, and I will not act so easily."

"And they did it all!"

Yin Tong sneered.

He didn't come with such determination.

It's just that Fang just sat alone in the room and suddenly figured out something.

The court is different.

The current court has become very sharp.

And this kind of sharpness is not the same as the past quick success, the court has become more aggressive, more purposeful, under the first emperor's tour this time, the officials around the country are panicked, although the nobles of the six countries have not been affected too much, in fact, they have also suffered heavy losses, because the officials close to the nobles of the six countries have an accident.

After the thunderous action of the imperial court this time, the nobles of the six countries will be even more slumped.

One trades off the other.

Let Yin Tong realize one thing.

The nobles of the Six Kingdoms may be in a more and more difficult situation in the future, like a frog boiled in warm water, constantly devouring and encroaching by the imperial court, and finally it will be difficult to set off storms, which is even predictable, because the nobles of the Six Kingdoms need to rely on the local officials, what if the local officials are no longer close?

In the past, the imperial court did not dare to take action against the officials in the Kwantung region easily, but this time the first emperor did it resolutely.

Although it was the reason for the patrol, it was done after all.

The snake hits seven inches.

The imperial court is right on the right side at the moment.

The imperial court's control over the Kanto region has strengthened, and the remnants of the Six Kingdoms are becoming more and more decadent, as long as there is no chaos in the imperial court, the world will be peaceful for a while, in this case, why should he bother to be bored? To get close to the nobles of the Six Kingdoms? It is completely possible to take advantage of the trend, show goodwill to the court, and then stabilize his official position.

That's the best choice.

As for the life or death of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms, what does he have to do with it?

If all the nobles of the Six Kingdoms died, the Great Qin world would be completely stable.

Even if the nobles of the Six Kingdoms don't die this time, they will definitely be seriously injured, and it will be difficult for them to recover in a short time, and he is already thirty out of forty, how much time can he spend with the nobles of the Six Kingdoms?

He didn't have that patience anymore.

Case.

Let's just do it a little more.

Hit the nobles of the Six Kingdoms harder.

In that way, he, a Great Qin official, can also be more stable and comfortable.

It was with these things in mind that Yin Tong completely changed his thinking, from how much he would consider the nobles of the Six Kingdoms to only thinking about himself.

Then he was completely ruthless.

Listening to Yin Tong's indifferent remarks, even Li Mo couldn't help but feel a chill.

How could they not know the meaning of Yin Tong's words?

It was completely irrelevant whether the nobles lived or died.

If the nobles of the Six Kingdoms reacted and could escape in time, they would be able to live.

If you can't react, you'll die here.

Everything is self-inflicted.

Li Mo's heart moved slightly.

For Yin Tong's suggestion, he was actually very moved.

He had long been dissatisfied with these high-spirited nobles, and if it weren't for the fact that the nobles of the Six Kingdoms were powerful in the local area and had dealings with many local tycoons, he would not have bothered to deal with them at all.

Right now, Yin Tong's idea is just what he wants.

However, it is not enough to rely on the two of them, there are still many officials in Huiji County who have close ties with the nobles of the Six Kingdoms, if these people are not convinced, when these nobles react in the future, and someone tells them privately, they will definitely be retaliated against by the nobles of the Six Kingdoms, and they will be in trouble at that time.

Come to think of this.

Li Mo looked at the officials around him with a cold gaze.

Everyone's eyes dodged, obviously weighing the pros and cons secretly.

Especially to completely tear up the face with the nobles of the Six Kingdoms.

This is something that many people are reluctant to do.

Looked at.

Li Mo opened his mouth and said: "I agree with the words of the county guard, the matter has come to this point, if you continue to be at both ends of the first rat, it will not only offend the imperial court, but also attract the nobles of the six countries to complain, under the great movement of the imperial court, the power of the nobles of the six countries will definitely be much worse than before, we are local officials, and the places are controlled by us, whether the nobles of the six countries can settle down again, in the end, it depends on our eyes." ”

"I know your concerns."

"I'm worried that something will happen to Daqin one day."

"I want to find a way out for myself."

"But in all fairness, after this incident, how much strength will be left of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms? How long will it take to recover? And I heard that His Royal Highness Fusu is known as a name for benevolence and righteousness, and when His Royal Highness Fusu ascends the throne, the world may enter the great governance, and there will really be so much public resentment and resentment in the local area? ”

"Without the first eyes of the bottom, can these nobles really succeed?"

"Besides, you can perceive one thing."

"It's easy to attack and defend!"

"In the past, the nobles of the Six Kingdoms were on the offensive, constantly stirring up trouble and creating turmoil in the local area, and the imperial court has been busy quelling the turmoil, but this time it is different, it is the imperial court that takes the initiative, and under the initiative of the imperial court, the nobles of the six countries are simply difficult to parry."

"I'm afraid there will be more and more of this in the future."

"Aristocracy is destined to be difficult to come."

Li Mo also made his own opinion on this.

He is not without purpose.

It's a real feeling.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have sent a message to my friends in the Imperial Palace, just to seek a chance for forgiveness.

In the past two years, the policies of the imperial court have become more and more targeted, and unlike the previous policies, they can often be implemented, and certain results can be achieved, which is very amazing, and it also makes Li Mo feel very incredible.

Qin Ting has recognized the problem and has been trying to correct it.

In this situation, the control of the Qin court will only become stronger and stronger, and the living space of the nobles of the six countries will only become smaller and smaller, and finally completely encroached upon by the Qin court.

In the past, the imperial court did not have this courage.

But with the transfer of non-commissioned officers and the lowering of admission standards, as long as Qin Ting does not have a major situation in the next ten years, the situation will only get better and better.

So this time he cut off with the nobles of the Six Kingdoms.

and took the initiative to persuade Yin Tong.

Seeing that Yin Tong and Li Mo both held this attitude, the officials who were originally a little wavering gradually wavered.

It's just that Qin Ting can really last long?

But they couldn't be sure in their hearts.

Yin Tong and Li Mo are gambling right now, betting that Qin Ting can really calm the world.

But can it really?
