(Happy Mid-Autumn Festival)

Su Emei understood Li Ye's eyes.

She bit her red lip and stared at Li Ye with water-cut eyes: "Your Highness is thinking, Bailu Cave to help His Highness has been a conspiracy from the beginning." The purpose is to use this as a bargaining chip to exchange benefits for the Immortal Emperor when His Royal Highness is in power, so that our people can have more resources and higher status in the Immortal Court, and live a more comfortable life. If the Immortal Emperor agrees to our proposal, we will sabotage His Highness's campaign at a critical moment and let His Highness defeat the Central Plains?"

Li Ye did not avoid Su Emei's gaze.

He said: "Aunt Song leads the Tsing Yi Yamen, masters the core secrets of Pinglu, and has won the trust of the Lone King, which is tantamount to the eyes of the Lone King. Chu Nan is far-sighted and has the ability to enter the prime minister, if he comes to give advice to the lonely king, the lonely king will not listen. Wei Xiaozhuang established the Quanzhen Temple, and his disciples were all over the nine towns and dozens of states, and there were tens of millions of disciples, which was enough to cause trouble in the backyard of the lonely queen. ”

Speaking of this, Li Ye paused for a moment.

He continued: "You are closer to the Lone King than your close attendants, and the Lone King will not be wary of you. ”

Su E's eyebrows were silent.

Li Ye looked at her, "When Aunt Song misreported the military situation, when the situation of the army was critical, Chu Nanhuai came to offer a strategy to break the situation, and when the Lone King adopted it, he was in a desperate situation, fighting to the death with the Daomen Immortals, and the long sword stabbed in the back, how could the Lone King deal with it?"

Su Emei still didn't speak.

Li Ye retracted his gaze and drank the tea in his cup in one gulp.

This time, I didn't taste the fragrance of new tea, but only felt the same taste as chewing wax.

The silence made the dimly lit atmosphere of the courtyard gradually cold and hard.

Finally, Su Emei spoke.

Her voice was soft: "After the Human Emperor separated from heaven and earth, the immortals were isolated, and the immortal court's control over the mortal world was not as good as before. On how to effectively maintain the order of heaven and earth, the Immortal Court was divided into two factions. ”

"The Tongtian Sect Master believes that the merits of the immortals are benefiting the common people, and if they can make meritorious deeds in the mortal world, the people of Li should worship the immortal court and regard it as an untouchable god. In this way, the Immortal Court can continue to firmly control the mortal world, and if there is enough merit, the power of merit can reopen the gate of heaven, and it is not necessary to break the isolation of heaven and earth. ”

"The Tongtian Sect Master's move of letting the immortals go down to the earth to eliminate disasters and solve problems and benefit the common people was greatly ridiculed by the Immortal Emperor's faction, and they couldn't accept the strong people who were high up, running around to save people like the countryside Langzhong, cultivating the fields like cattle and horses, and plowing the fields like cattle and horses, which were far inferior to the county officials. ”

"Immortal Emperor and others believe that most mortals live in hardship, and their desires are difficult to fill, and they are born with the instinct to worship the strong and pray for blessings. Therefore, the immortals only need to show some means from time to time, so that mortals can see the power of the immortals, they can win their worship and awe, and the incense in the mortal world can never end. ”

"The so-called Shengmi Endou Mi Hatred, the immortals give up their noble status and run around, doing their best for the benefit of mortals, which will only make them feel that they should enjoy the grace of the immortals, and they will no longer have gratitude. After a long time, the immortals are no different from cattle and horses—cattle and horses have worked hard all their lives, and they have never been respected by mortals? ”

"Shang Emperor Xin is a rare clear-eyed person, who saw through the true face of the immortals enslaving the mortal world, so he disrespected the gods, destroyed the Taoist temple in Kyushu, and wanted to cut off the incense from all over the world, and wanted to let the mortal world return to the mortal world from now on. The Immortal Emperor was furious because of this, so he supported King Wen of Zhou to do something, and then there was the battle of King Wu. ”

"In order to compete with the Immortal Emperor, the Tongtian Sect Master led the disciples to help the King of Xuan and fought against the Immortal Emperor faction. In the end, he was unfortunately defeated and became a thief in the history books, and the eloquent Emperor Xin also became the king of Qianfu. ”

Speaking of this, Su E frowned and paused.

Her eyes showed pain and remembrance, as if she was looking back on the past and remembering her comrades who had fallen in the blood and fire.

Li Ye didn't talk.

In order to explain to the world that his change of dynasty is in accordance with the will of heaven and the expectations of the people, he will always smear the emperors of the old dynasty, so what is contained in the history books may not be true.

But how can the words of the main sect of Tongtian Sect be credulous?

People are always accustomed to beautifying themselves, and when they talk too much, they gradually believe it.

Moreover, these past events have little to do with the situation he is dealing with at the moment.

If it weren't for the old friendship with Su Emei, Li Ye wouldn't even have listened to her words and didn't interrupt halfway.

Su Emei didn't pause for too long, she looked up at Li Ye again, and continued: "Both sides suffered heavy losses in that big battle. Although the Tongtian Sect Master was defeated and placed under house arrest in the East Floating Palace, the Immortal Emperor could not kill all his disciples, so that the Immortal Court would lose three or four out of ten of its strength, and it would be impossible to deal with the attack of the army of the gods of the Immortal Domain. ”

She said seriously: "In fact, over the years, our people still occupy about thirty percent of the power of the Immortal Court. ”

Li Ye chuckled, "Sancheng, it's really a delicate proportion." ”

When the Immortal Court needs to employ people, thirty percent is a large proportion, but when the Immortal Court has nothing to do, thirty percent is a very dangerous ratio.

Su E said with a straight face: "Sancheng is enough for us to protect ourselves from being erased by the Immortal Emperor." Therefore, there is no need to rely on betraying the mortal princes who assist him, and use the general trend of the world to exchange anything with the Immortal Emperor. What's more, even if we wanted to do this, the Immortal Emperor would not agree. Sancheng is the maximum he can tolerate, and no matter how great our power is, he will not agree. ”

Li Ye was noncommittal.

In the middle of the ring, he said, "So, you came to help me, all from the bottom of your heart." ”

Su Ru frowned and said: "The immortal court of the world is stable, we can only restrain our words and deeds, and the troubled world is unstable, so we can take advantage of it, and we must do something - as long as we are not willing to sink." The people of the White Deer Cave Gate intervened in the troubled times, not to win chips and exchange anything with the Immortal Emperor, but to make a comeback!"

Li Ye glanced at her, "But you all failed in the end, and many good situations were shattered out of thin air in the end." It is rumored that Li Si is from Bailu Cave, but he colluded with Hu Hai to kill Fusu and let Great Qin perish...... Great Qin, that is the first dynasty in the world that does not respect the Daomen, and has leveled the four seas, and is reshaping the order of heaven and earth. ”

"During the Southern Dynasty, when Liu Yu's northern expedition was successful, he had captured Chang'an, and it was possible to restore the entire north, Liu Muzhi, the first minister under Liu Yu who stayed in Kyoto, suddenly fell ill and died, causing Liu Yu to worry about the instability of the rear and was forced to withdraw his troops, and the Southern Dynasty lost the best opportunity to dominate the world. Finally, it led to the Great Sui Nanping Chen Dynasty, which revered the Taoist Gate. Liu Muzhi, isn't he also your disciple of the White Deer Cave? There are not many similar examples. ”

Whether it is Li Si or Liu Muzhi, they are both people who can change the course of history, and they are also assisted by monarchs who do not respect Taoism.

Su E's eyebrows were gloomy, and there seemed to be a river-like sadness in her eyes.

After a long time, she looked at Li Ye and said slowly: "The remnants of the Tongtian Sect Master only account for thirty percent of the immortal court, and the troubled times can take the opportunity to affect the general trend of the world...... We did want to change the situation in the world, but in the end, we were all suppressed by the Immortal Emperor faction. ”

She didn't wait for Li Ye to reply, and then asked: "Is Your Highness also curious about why many shrewd and talented heroes suddenly made extremely low-level and almost impossible mistakes during the critical period of deciding the ownership of the world, which led to a change in the general trend?"

"For example, Li Si, the power leans towards the government and the opposition, and the same book and text are all from his suggestion, why did he collude with the eunuchs in the end to support the dim-witted Hu Hai to murder the virtuous Fusu, so that Daqin lost the Huairou world and continued the only good opportunity for the country? For example, the generation of male lord Fu Jian, when he swept the north, was so thunderous, but why did he let the million army lose to tens of thousands of Southern Korean troops during the Battle of Weishui? For example, wise and cautious people like Kong Ming, at the time when the Northern Expedition was most likely to succeed, they just let Ma Yan, a mediocre talent who had been judged by Liu Bei to be unable to be entrusted with important tasks, go to guard the most critical street pavilion?"

Li Ye was silent.

He had been puzzled for a long time, and had vaguely some answers, but he was not very sure.

Su Emei smiled miserably: "Mortal people will say that all this is providential. But the will of heaven is actually just the meaning of the Immortal Emperor. It was he who used unpredictable means to affect the thinking and will of the parties involved, making them suddenly become stupid, and this is why he made an unattainable move!"

Li Ye's expression was shocked, and his eyes looked sharply at Su Emei.

Su Emei's gaze did not dodge.

Li Ye fell silent.

Su Emei continued: "We didn't give the good situation to others, it's just that after the Immortal Court was suppressed, we could no longer help the mortal world, so that the Immortal Emperor was able to regain the initiative. It was he who made it impossible for those who disobeyed the Daomen to continue on the original road, and it was he who made the people who respected the Daomen finally achieve great things!"

After saying that, her gaze suddenly became firm, and she looked at Li Ye closely: "But this time is different! Throughout the ages, there has never been a monarch who has been able to cultivate to the realm of immortals, and there has never been a human master who can be blessed by heaven! Bailu Cave has chosen His Royal Highness from the very beginning, and there is indeed a reason why King Lao An is a disciple of the sect, but in the end, it turns out that Your Highness, you are different from those people before! You are most likely to achieve great things and reshape the order of heaven and earth!"

Li Ye did not feel emotional fluctuations because of these words.

He didn't even answer Su Emei's words.

He was still pondering.

The courtyard was silent, except for the evening breeze stirring the branches and leaves of the locust trees, making a slight salsa sound.

I don't know how long it took, Li Ye's brows gradually relaxed.

He pushed the bowl forward, "The tea has been drunk for a long time, maybe another bowl of hot one?"

Su Emei was stunned, and immediately got up and held the tea bowl with both hands, "Your Highness later." ”

When Su Emei brought out a new bowl of hot tea and put it in front of Li Ye, he took a sip quietly.

Putting down the tea bowl, Li Ye said to Su E, who was still worried: "If you go to Caozhou in five days, you can go along." ”

Su Emei was pleasantly surprised, almost thinking that she had heard it wrong.

Then she smiled softly, as beautiful as a lotus flower.

Li Ye took another sip of hot tea.

For him, it is better to keep the uncertainties with him than to let her stay in the back.

......

Wonderland, East Floating Palace.

The Tongtian Sect Master, who had already changed his name to the Mud Dust Dao Man, was admiring the flowers on the high platform in the garden, and it could be seen that he was in a good mood, and the wine jugs in his hand were already empty.

At some point, a white-haired, blue-robed, extremely handsome Taoist appeared outside the pavilion.

He appeared, but did not speak, just stood with his hands tied, and waited quietly.

I don't know how long it took, but the mud and dust Taoist who admired the hundred flowers suddenly smiled meaningfully, and slowly spoke: "Duobao, you took the initiative to come here at this time, but what is the important thing to report?"

Duobao Daoist bowed down and said, "Master, Fairy Guanghan has already followed Li Ye to Caozhou. ”

The mud and dust Taoist snorted, did not comment, and said lightly: "What do you think?"

As the chief disciple of the Mud Dust Dao people, the Duobao Dao people are extremely knowledgeable, and they have always been taking care of the chores for the Mud Dust Dao people, and at this moment they said without thinking: "Li Ye has been estranged from her for a lot of time before, and it is said that he is very wary of her. Fairy Guanghan was able to win Li Ye's trust again, which shows that the two should have talked deeply. ”

The mud and dust people drank and were silent.

Duobao Daoist smiled: "Fairy Guanghan's words are probably able to convince Li Ye. ”

The mud and dust Taoist nodded slightly.

Halfway, he smiled: "If you want to convince someone, sincerity from the heart is the most important. The Guanghan Fairy is undoubtedly able to do this. Because what she thought she knew was an indisputable fact...... It's just that I deceived the Guanghan Fairy like this, and I still feel a little sorry in my heart. ”

said that he was sorry, but there was no regret on his face.

Duobao Daoist said respectfully: "We have different political views from the Immortal Emperor, this is indeed a fact. In order to benefit the common people and make great merits for the people, this is also our line of struggle. It's just that the Guanghan Fairy won't know that the so-called ideal and the so-called route are just means to achieve the end. ”

"The reason why we choose this route is not because of how noble it is and how many benefits it can bring to the people, but because it is the most in line with the hearts of the people and the most able to unite all people, so it is most likely that the ultimate goal of our power can be achieved - it is also thanks to this kind of route that is very popular, so that we always have many loyal wings, and we will not be erased from the Immortal Court by the Immortal Emperor over the years. ”

The mud and dust man smiled and said nothing.

There are some things that you don't have to say. A lot of times it's not a good time to say it.

Only by holding power can you have absolute wealth and resources, in the words of the mortal world, the purpose of the mud and dust people has always been to seize women and silver.

As for the rest, they are merely means to an end.

There is no ideal for the Lord of Man.

In other words, the ideal of the lord has always been to hold supreme power.

As for the ideals that come out of the mouth of the master, what benefits the common people and the well-being of the people, they are all letters that are spoken to others, in order to gather everyone for his use, follow him to shed his blood, and achieve his goals.

Half a sound, the mud and dust Taoist drank all the wine in the pot in one gulp.

He threw away the wine jug and laughed: "Now our strength is not strong enough, we can only use the world as a chess game and change the place of the cone." But one day, we will use heaven and earth as chess and seize the power of heaven and earth!"
