"Oh?" the old emperor was a little dizzy, and he couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Tuoba Lie's gourd. According to the past situation, when encountering troubles, the old emperor will definitely consult Tuoba Zichu's opinion, that is his brainstorm, and there is no problem that Zichu can't solve.

It's just that today's matter involves the prince, and he knows that Tuoba Zichu didn't want to offend any of the princes, so he didn't call him into the palace out of years of friendship, but he never imagined that Tuoba Lie would appear at this time. The old emperor couldn't help but wonder: why did Lie'er come here, and what kind of benefits could he get from coming here!

After pondering for a moment, the old emperor leaned back in the middle of the chair and let his body sink into the wide seat: "Tell me about it." ”

With the permission of his father, Tuoba Lie said in a deep voice: "Lie'er believes that although Chu Xiu is dead, the reform plan proposed by Chu Xiu is still valuable and cannot be abolished, and should continue to be implemented.

In addition, the prince committed the same crime as the common people, and the tenth brother killed Zhongliang in vain, so he should be sentenced to beheading, but considering that it would damage the royal prestige, it is better to put him under house arrest and spend the rest of his life to atone for his crimes. Considering that the number of people is too large, it is better to confiscate the family property first, and live in the present place with the heirs of the female dependents, and order the army to enter the palace and station it day and night to guard, and execute it on the spot once any change is found.

The emperor is now the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard, and is willing to take on the task of guarding the princes and ministers, and do his best for the empire and his father. ”

"Do your best, and then die!" After hearing Tuoba Lie's words, the old emperor gasped and fell into his seat for a long time. "Not only do you want to preside over the reform, but you also want to take care of the families of the princes and ministers, Lie'er, Lie'er, your courage and wisdom are really not inferior to your brother. ”

The old emperor was such a clever man, and he immediately understood Tuobalie's intentions.

Now that the situation is very obvious, the ministers support Tuoba Zhen and hope to maintain the status quo by his hand, and ensure that the glory and wealth that have been obtained will last forever. As the emperor, his relationship with them is antagonistic, he holds the power of life and death, but the other party is numerous, and behind it is a huge network of gentry relationships, so he has to deal with it carefully. That's why I'm entangled, and I don't know what to do.

Kill them along with Zhen'er, and your prestige will be maintained, but the empire will inevitably be paralyzed, and the wealth and power that you have worked so hard to achieve will collapse overnight, causing chaos in the hearts of the people, and the gentry everywhere are mostly distant relatives of the courtiers, and the empire will fall into turmoil.

If you don't kill them, your prestige is not enough to establish, Zhen'er will grow infinitely bigger, and her status in the hearts of the courtiers will rise infinitely, not to mention his eldest brother Yuanji, even his own status is in jeopardy.

If I was young, I would have chosen to kill all those who disobeyed, but now, in the face of the foundation I have worked so hard to build, I have to look ahead and think twice.

I thought that there would be no good solution to the multiple-choice question, but I didn't expect that Lie'er appeared at such a critical point in time and sent a clever plan for himself.

Lie'er's plan is indeed ingenious, even perfect, and if you think about it, it is similar to Zhen'er's approach.

What Lie'er said, he made three points, first, Chu Xiu's reform plan is right, although he is dead, the reform plan should be retained, and he is willing to lead the reform in person. What does this mean, it's really wonderful when you think about it, it's just wonderful.

As a prince, Zhen'er killed Chu Xiu in a big move, which seemed to be a disobedient crime, but in fact, he was trying to survive in danger, and he was already trying to suppress him, so why care about the more intense contradictions. What's more, after his trouble, Chu Xiu died, and the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty stood on his side, standing up for him and cheering for him to confront me, which is equivalent to getting the support of the ministers. Originally, most of the courtiers were on the side of Yuanji, believing that he was the eldest son who was the most likely person to inherit the throne of the crown prince, and the courtiers represented the interests of the gentry, and the gentry actually controlled the power of the place, and getting the support of the courtiers was equivalent to having huge financial and human resources in the place.

Chu Xiu pushed the reform, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were eager to punish him and then quickly, it was because he had his own protection that he did not dare to start, so it was good, what he wanted to do but did not dare to do was done by Zhen'er, the courtiers were very smart, and they could immediately distinguish the situation, and immediately turned to Zhen'er's side, because supporting him is equal to the sustainability of power and money, who doesn't want to.

Not only that, Zhen'er killed Chu Xiu and indirectly sold a favor to Buddhism, after all, the first article in Chu Xiu's reform plan is to establish Confucianism as the state religion, although this article was vetoed by himself, but Chu Xiu is a Confucian student, as long as he presides over the reform, the direction of reform will inevitably develop in the direction of Confucianism, which everyone knows, Zhen'er killed him and sold it to Buddhism, so that the Buddhism that originally supported Yuanji was shaken.

As a result, although his behavior is bold, it can be described as killing two birds with one stone, and the benefits are great, he gambles that he does not dare to kill the killer with the support of the courtiers, and gambles that he is already old and his energy is not as good as before. It can be said that Zhen'er has made dangerous moves and forced himself into a desperate situation, how embarrassed he is to be the actual controller of the country today.

At this most critical point in time, Lie'er stood up, what did Lie'er say, Lie'er said that Chuxiu's reform was right and needed to be continued. What does it mean, of course, it is not as simple as it seems on the surface, it is simply a relief in the snow for himself, because Lie'er has three advantages after standing up, first, it is clear that I am not alone, and he is on my side; second, since the matter must be resolved, and someone must face the forced palace of the ministers, then he is willing to be my shield and bear all the consequences brought about by it, and what he can get is my absolute trust; third, and most importantly, since the status quo of the courtiers supporting Zhen'er can no longer be changed, then simply abolish them, and in the name of reform, those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will die, and there will be a big blood exchange, the new people will obey him, and they will be grateful to him, and the soul of the dead who died under the knife can't help him because of my protection.

If Zhen'er's behavior can kill two birds with one stone, then Lie'er's plan is to kill many birds with one stone, which is the most perfect means of counterattack, so that he and I are tied to a line, living and dying together, the future benefits will naturally be great, and the biggest benefit is nothing more than the throne.

Wonderful, indeed wonderful, it would never be Lie'er who could come up with such a plan, it was Shen Fei who was standing behind him, only Shen Fei had such courage to come up with such an earth-shattering plan.

This is not the end, and if you look back on his second piece of advice, it can only be described as seamless. What did Lie'er say, Lie'er said that Zhen'er's killing of Zhongliang was a crime of killing his head, but considering that the royal prestige did not kill him, he was placed under house arrest as punishment. Only a careful scrutiny of this means that each byte of it is a profound meaning, and it can be said to be a seamless work of art carved by a skilled craftsman.

From the first sentence, he said that Zhen'er killed Zhongliang, what does this mean, this is qualitative! Even I was hesitating about how to make a reasonable characterization of the whole incident is the most appropriate, he said it directly, the matter is Zhen'er's fault, according to the laws of the empire, he should be beheaded, after he said this, I immediately had a sense of relief and worry.

The next sentence is even more wonderful, he said this, but considering the royal prestige, it is not appropriate to behead and should be placed under house arrest until death.

Why did he say this, in fact, it is easy to understand if you think about it carefully, and there are also three reasons: first, he and Zhen'er are biological brothers of the same father and mother, Zhen'er is his brother, and Ling Ruyi is their queen mother, no matter who will be the emperor in the future, Ling Ruyi will be the future queen mother. Leaving Zhen'er with a life is equivalent to giving the other party a face, so that the concubine will not complain about him.

Second, it is the relationship between biological brothers. Now the whole incident is in a state of anxiety, the future direction depends on my mind to decide, how to develop no one can judge, he took the initiative to stand up, not to mention a lot of cheap, not to mention the preservation of his brother's life, can get a reputation for being kind to the outside world.

Third, Zhen'er really can't be killed, no matter what, the concubine can't get by, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military side can't get by, and the consequences of killing him are really unimaginable. It was different to put him under house arrest, which not only blocked the mouths of the ministers, but also saved my face, and gave me a severe enough punishment. It's like boiling a frog in warm water, and Zhen'er, who is under house arrest, will be boiled to death sooner or later, even if he has ambitions. What's more, this suggestion was put forward by him Tuoba Lie, Zhen'er's biological brother, and in the eyes of outsiders, it also represents the meaning of the noble concubine, and no one has anything to say.

From this analysis, it can be found that Lie'er's plan is really very wonderful, so that it not only silences the mouths of the ministers, but also allows Zhen'er to receive the punishment he deserves, so that he can no longer pose a threat to my throne.

Let's talk about the third suggestion he made: the property of the ministers should be confiscated, and the family members should be guarded by the Praetorian Guard, and he should take care of them personally. If the first two points of strategy are already wonderful, then the last one is even more of the finishing touch.

The ministers stand up and cheer for Zhen'er, they must always be punished, and the killing is serious, because killing one other person must also die, the imperial capital will be bloody, and the situation will expand, but it is not the same if the family property is confiscated, in the eyes of outsiders, this is a very serious measure, in fact, that bit of family property is nothing to the princes and ministers, their real family background is outside the imperial capital, so that the confiscation of family property is simply a superficial article. Therefore, the next thing to do is very crucial, that is, the Praetorian Guard is responsible for guarding their families, and if they find any anomalies, they can be executed on the spot, and he Tuoba Lie himself presides.

What does this mean, to put it bluntly, I will first copy your family property and warn you to see if you are honest, if you are honest, it will be fine, if you are not honest, you will be beheaded immediately, and you will be killed as an example, so that instead of blaming Tuoba Lie, the ministers will not blame Tuoba Lie, but will be intimidated by his obscenity and show favor to him in every way;

It was simply perfect, it was a plan that killed many birds with one stone, and it was a perfect strategy that could only come up with such a plan to subvert all Shen Fei who had come to the imperial capital! Only he could have such courage, and only he could convince Lie'er to take such a risk.

Okay, okay, although you are far less smart than your own brother, you are far less intelligent than your brother, but being able to encircle someone like Shen Fei who has the ability to subvert the universe is really impressive.

Then next, it's you and Motoyoshi who will compete for the throne, and I don't know how they will behave.

Thinking of this, the old emperor showed a hint of a secretive smile, the smile was very weird, but unfortunately Tuoba Lie didn't see it, because he was kneeling on one knee with his head down at the moment, Tuoba Lie was very nervous, because everything he was doing now was according to Shen Fei's orders, not his own thoughts, because he believed it, he had to come hard.

He didn't dare to raise his head, trying to keep his composure, his back was already soaked with sweat, he couldn't see everything like Shen Fei, he was worried about whether his father would see it as speculation by his father, he was waiting, anxiously waiting.

Sometimes being smart is mistaken by being smart, but most of the time, being smart is being smart, and most of the decisions made by smart people are smart, because being smart is not only a high IQ, but also an outstanding ability in all aspects.

Smart people must be meticulous in doing things, must be calculated seamlessly, must be able to see through the fog to see through the essence of things, the ability to see through the essence is very important, few people can do it, and those who can do it must be either rich or expensive, not something in the pool, it is obvious that Shen Fei is such a person.

Therefore, Shen Fei strategized and won thousands of miles away, so Shen Fei obviously did not experience it personally, but he was able to recognize the essence of things and find the key nodes than seeing them with his own eyes. Tuoba Lie is undoubtedly lucky to have Shen Fei, because having Shen Fei gives him the possibility to change his fate, but at the same time, it is also unfortunate, because Shen Fei's ambition is too ambitious, and his lofty ambition will inevitably touch the interests of all sides, incur all kinds of blows, and for him, who has no worries about food and clothing, he will be put in danger.

Judging from the current situation, Tuoba Lie does not regret it, and is willing to take the risk of being in danger with Shen Fei, he trusts Shen Fei more and more, trust comes from the display of ability, Shen Fei shows enough strength to match the word trust, he thinks that Shen Fei is a trustworthy person, a person who can bring him miracles.
