This is a major drawback and hidden danger of the Han Empire. In order to enhance the national strength, at the beginning of the founding of the country, Han Taizu implemented the sub-feudal system and divided the children surnamed Liu into kings.

These feudal kings were fundamentally different from those of other vassal states, they had independent regions and cultivation resources, and they could form a cultivation army that was loyal to them alone. Some of the feudal fiefs have a vast territory, and after several generations of operation, they have the strength to overthrow the rule of the Han royal family.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was also a feudal king at the beginning, and it took seven generations of accumulation and management, taking advantage of the time when the Emperor of Han fought with the Yuanrong clan and the army of Luoyang City was empty, he united with other feudal kings to raise troops to rebel, successfully controlled the royal family of Luoyang City, and then ascended the throne as the emperor.

After ascending the throne, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty realized the threat to his rule from various feudal kings, and in order to weaken the power and strength of the feudal kings, he vigorously implemented the strategy of "Tui En Ling", wanting to decompose the powerful feudal kings little by little.

In the past 150 years, most of the feudal kings have been disintegrated, but there are still a few powerful feudal kings who resolutely resist the strategy of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the fiefs are still unified and firmly controlled by the feudal kings.

This kind of threat and hidden danger is deadly, Luoyang City has enough troops, and the king will throw a mouse taboo and dare not mess around. But Luoyang City's troops are empty, and the king does not have so many scruples, they will definitely send troops to attack Luoyang City.

Cai Xiang patted his head and laughed: "Yes, how did I forget this." ”

Shen Hao asked, "Your Highness, what should we do now?"

Li Leng drank the tea in the toast and said lightly: "Don't do anything, it's rare to have time to relax and relax, the two adults should go shopping and buy some gifts for their families to go back." ”

"Hehe, the minister respectfully obeys His Royal Highness's order to take a good look at this Luoyang City in the afternoon. Shen Hao smiled, truly admiring Li Leng's talent.

One afternoon, Li Leng stayed in his room to cultivate.

Now that his cultivation has broken through to the fifth level of the Qi Refining Realm, every part of his body is covered with Yuan Force, and his strength has improved by leaps and bounds, especially the Inscription Dao, which is not far behind the Inscription Sect Master.

The sixfold Qi Refining Realm, also known as the Bone Refining Stage, is to penetrate all the Yuan Force of the whole body into the bones and bone marrow.

Human bones are the most powerful parts and the most defensible places.

Yuan Li wraps the bones and merges with them, and the monk's resistance to pressure or instantaneous explosiveness will reach a terrifying height.

However, the density of the bones is small, and if you want to penetrate the yuan force into the bones, you need an amazing amount of yuan power.

Li Leng currently only has half a Heavenly Demon Inner Pill, and there are some pills, which can't help him break through to the sixth level of Qi Refining Realm.

After an afternoon of hard cultivation, Li Lengtian's sea yuan power has increased a lot, and even his sea awareness power has greatly improved.

Li Leng stopped practicing, sat on the copy, opened the paperwork with different preparations, and turned to the page of Prime Minister Cao Shen, which recorded Cao Shen's information in detail.

Cao Shen, a representative of Confucianism, has unfathomable cultivation and strength.

If you talk about scheming and the city, I am afraid that no one in the entire Han Empire can see through Cao Shen, and even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a generation of male lords, has said more than once that Prime Minister Cao Shen is an old and cunning person, and no one in the Han Empire is his opponent.

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, Cao Shen is a good man who is submissive, without his own subjectivity and opinions, and he is said to do it according to the rules when he finds him, even if it is a big thing.

Such a person should not have become a prime minister, even if he became a prime minister, he would not be able to govern the Han Empire. But the strange thing is that he was appointed as the prime minister by the first emperor of the Han Dynasty, and he also managed the Han Empire to flourish and make the country strong.

Li Leng always felt that the driving force behind the whole thing was not Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but this prime minister who had always been submissive and unassertive.

He guessed that it was Prime Minister Cao Shen's idea to let the Tang Dynasty cede three cities in exchange for an alliance between the Han and Tang Dynasties.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was old and weak, his health was deteriorating, and he was no longer able to deal with national affairs. Because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had not yet finally established a candidate for succession, Prime Minister Cao Shen naturally assumed the responsibility of auxiliary government, and everything big or small had to be reported to Cao Shen for approval before it could be implemented.

It was inconvenient for Cao Shen to come forward on the alliance between the Han and Tang dynasties, so he instigated Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to let the crown prince Liu Ying preside over the grand meeting, and took the opportunity to put forward the conditions for the alliance to them at the grand meeting, the fundamental purpose was to catch them off guard and greatly weaken the comprehensive national strength of the Tang Dynasty.

If you can't make a plan, Cao Shen must have a plan.

So, where does Cao Ying start to deal with them?

When dinner time came, the maids came in with food, they saw Li Leng sitting on the copywriting in a daze, carefully putting the food on the table, and a maid knelt on the ground carefully and said softly: "Please Your Highness eat." ”

"Oh......" Li Leng came back from his contemplation, saw that it was already dark, smiled, and said, "Time flies so fast!" Let the maid get up first.

Sitting on the desk, Li Lenggang picked up a piece of venison, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Is the head of the bag back?"

The two maids looked at each other, both shook their heads, and the maid just now said softly: "Director Bao has not returned to the hotel since he left the hotel yesterday. I guess something is out there and I can't come back for a while!"

"Oh!" Li Leng put down his chopsticks, feeling faintly uneasy in his heart, "After Master Bao comes back, let him come to see me as soon as possible." ”

"Yes, Your Highness. The maid was shocked, and thought that saying the wrong thing made Li Leng angry.

While eating, there were bursts of horses' hooves and commotion outside the hotel, and the sound of weapons colliding with iron was faintly heard.

The door was suddenly pushed open, Cai Xiang hurriedly ran in, knelt in front of Li Leng, and said hurriedly: "Your Highness, something is wrong!"

"What's going on?" Li Leng asked with a calm face after putting down his chopsticks.

"The Han Dynasty Hanging Mirror Division was ordered to arrest people in our Tang Pavilion. Cai Xiang was extremely angry, and the Hanging Mirror Division openly went to the hotel to arrest people, obviously not taking Datang seriously.

Although the hotel was established in the territory of the Han Dynasty, to a certain extent, the hotel is the face of the Tang Dynasty and the embodiment of national prestige.

No one, no vassal state, can enter the hotel at will, let alone arrest people.

However, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty directly issued a holy decree to the world, and sent the Hanging Mirror Division to the hotel to arrest people. This is not only slapping Datang in the face and insulting Datang's national prestige, but also nakedly meddling in Datang's national politics.

The Hanging Mirror Department of the Han Empire was a special organization that carried out espionage intelligence, monitoring the world and the civil and military officials of the Han court, and performing some special and important tasks. Nominally, the Hanging Mirror Division is under the control of the Imperial Governor's Office, but in fact, the Hanging Mirror Division is only responsible for the Han Tianzi and only obeys the instructions of the Han Tianzi.
