After a short time, the light water vapor around the Blue Sect Master's body gradually faded, and his pale face regained a bit of blood, and his clothes became fluffy, no longer tightly wrapped around his delicate body.

Zhao Yu slowly withdrew his internal force, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Now he is not ignorant of the affairs of men and women, and at the age of his strong blood, he has to resist the temptation of such a lively fragrance as the Blue Sect Master, which is also tormented, but it has nothing to do with concentration.

The Blue Sect Master's body twisted, sat opposite Zhao Yu, and said coquettishly: "Now I should call you His Royal Highness the King of Chu." Your Highness is really bold, and now all the strangers in the capital city hate to crush your bones and scatter ashes, but you are not afraid, and you have entered the city in a grand manner, and it has caused such a big commotion. Although this takes the opportunity to take a surprise, you should also understand that most of them are different from Yangzhou, and it is indeed very difficult to stir up the storm by yourself. You took such a big risk, aren't you ready to kill the Tartar Emperor directly in one battle?"

Zhao Yu shook his head and said frankly: "This is my negligence, I failed to convey my intentions to the Blue Sect Master first. The situation in Jiangnan is still not clear, and I don't have much spare time to look north. The main purpose of coming north here was to tear the rift between the Tartars even wider. The most hopeful thing is naturally that the king of Ruyang can continue to confront all the forces in the Tartar court for a long time, and he does not want this contest between them to end too soon. The Blue Sect Master walked through the palace and had a much deeper understanding of the relationship between the Tartars than I did, how sure do you think you can maintain this situation?"

The Blue Sect Master sat upright, and his expression became solemn: "Your Highness, you have clever means. What is in your hands, and what is possible or impossible. What I can do is to analyze the relationship between them in detail with His Highness, and it is up to His Highness to decide what kind of conclusion he can reach. ”

When Zhao Yu heard this, he also sat up straight, waiting for the Blue Sect Master to analyze.

"The situation of the Tartar court is not quite the same as that of your Han court. In addition to this royal family inherited by Genghis Khan, the Mongols still have many tribes. Those tribes were nominally dominated by the emperor, but in fact they each had a great deal of power. The emperor was only their nominal chief. They can't just point fingers at the affairs of their respective clans. This is one of the reasons why the Mongols have frequent changes in the throne, as long as they can get the support of these tribal princes, even if they are not the most orthodox heirs to the throne, they can ascend to the throne as emperor. ”

The Blue Sect Master preached: "Every year the emperor goes to Shangdu to escape the summer. The main purpose is to appease and win over the princes of various ethnic groups. In order to make their throne more secure. Last year, the emperor did not go to Shangdu. In addition to the fact that Your Highness has made such a big noise in Jiangnan, there is another factor that is because the princes of all ethnic groups have already complained about the current emperor. And the emperor really didn't have the power to deter them, and he was worried that those people would be unfavorable to the emperor. So the emperor simply did not go to Shangdu. ”

Zhao Yu bowed his head slightly while listening, this is like many feudal towns in history, if the emperor loses the power to control the overall situation, the courtiers will have a heart of distraction.

The Blue Sect Master continued: "The vast majority of the military power in the hands of the Yuan Court now is the emerging rebel army, and the imperial court cannot reliably control and clamp these rebel armies. Among them, the army of the king of Ruyang is the most severe. Moreover, in addition to the recruited Han army, a large part of the Ruyang royal army was also the men and horses of the princes of various ethnic groups. Moreover, the King of Ruyang has a very high prestige in the eyes of the princes of all ethnic groups, and for the emperor, he is no longer as simple as a master of high merit, but has almost mastered the terrifying authority to depose the emperor, how can he not make the emperor sit on pins and needles!"

These words also brought Zhao Yu a lot of shock, and he also had a clearer understanding of Emperor Yuan's eagerness to get rid of King Ruyang. What emperor would be willing to put a deadly rope around his neck?

The Blue Sect Master said: "On the one hand, the emperor favored Tantra and used the hands of monks to break the resistance of the Mongol princes. On the other hand, it is to support the crown prince to fight against the king of Ruyang. At the same time, he was also worried that the prince was too rebellious, and forced the prince to believe in Buddhism with him. It is no secret that father and son participate in Zen together, and it is no secret in the government and the opposition. ”

As she spoke, she glanced at the spacious courtyard, the corners of her mouth flashed a hint of ridicule, and said with a smile: "However, this method doesn't seem to have much effect. The prince's rebellious heart has not diminished, and he has even intensified his efforts, wanting to make the emperor Chan give up the throne. The original owner of this mansion was too peaceful, because he refused to attach himself to the prince, and the whole family died without a place to be buried. ”

When Zhao Yu heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for this Yuan Emperor. It seems that the supreme scenery is incomparable, but in fact, it is embattled and enemies. wanted to support the prince to fight against the ministers, but in the end, he raised tigers, and the situation became more and more chaotic. However, looking at his meaning, it seems that he feels that the threat of King Ruyang is greater than that of the crown prince.

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Yu opened his mouth and asked again: "So, what kind of attitude does King Ruyang have?"

The Blue Sect Master replied, "The King of Ruyang is loyal to the Great Yuan, and he is trying his best to protect this ruined Great Yuan. It's a pity that in the eyes of some people, this attitude is a little ambiguous. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yu also had a more specific understanding of the complicated situation in the Yuan Court. The attitude of the king of Ruyang, loyal to a country, may not necessarily be loyal to a king. And the emperor is like a girl who has just opened her love and secretly promised her heart, and any ambiguous attitude of the lover is enough to make him suspicious and restless, and the more he does, the more he makes mistakes, the more erosive the situation becomes, and finally it is difficult to ride a tiger, and it becomes more and more out of control.

In the current situation, the emperor and the crown prince each have an urgent need to win over the army to support them, but for the king of Ruyang, who has the most powerful army, they each have the bitterness of not being able to win over. In this way, getting rid of the King of Ruyang became the consensus of both of them. As soon as the king of Ruyang died, they each could exert their means to win over and cultivate as much as possible. This is also a choice that is forced to be made in an emergency, even if the life and death of King Ruyang is related to the survival of Dayuan Sheji. But if King Ruyang does not die, perhaps before the day when the Great Yuan falls, they will each usher in a catastrophe. The lesser of two evils, father and son can turn against each other, not to mention an outsider, King Ruyang!

Zhao Yu decided to break the tacit understanding between this pair of father and son, no matter whether the king of Ruyang is alive or dead, he must let this internal friction break out and continue for a long time. Of course, it would be best if you could take the opportunity to control a few high-ranking officials in the Tartar court.

He told the Blue Sect Master of his intentions, and the Blue Sect Master pondered for a moment before saying, "I don't know about the people on the emperor's side, but I know a lot about the prince's subordinates. They are greedy by nature and have a gluttonous appetite, and if they want to be used by your Highness, they must spill a lot of money. ”

Zhao Yu nodded and said: "At this point, I have long predicted, this time I came to Dadu, the most important thing is to bring a large amount of gold and silver property. Give them as much as they want!"

Sect Master Lan said: "These people are not successful enough, they are more than defeated, and the straw bag characters who are full of male thieves and prostitutes are worth His Highness's great effort to recruit?

Zhao Yu saw that the Lan Sect Master was advising himself so carefully, obviously leaning towards himself completely from his heart, he waved his hand and said, "I have my own arrangements for the affairs of Jiangnan." As for the Northland, if you can do something that a large army can't do with just a few dead things of gold and silver, it's not a waste at all. Besides, if we can gain enough time and advantage, and I will move my army north on another day, whether they can take these silver coins with them is still between the two. ”

When Sect Master Lan heard Zhao Yu say this, he didn't say anything more, and after being silent for a long time, he said in a low voice: "Does Your Highness want King Ruyang to die? Are you willing to spend such a big price, don't you want Lord Shaomin to suffer the tragedy of losing his father and then betraying his relatives?"

After hearing this, Zhao Yu lowered his head, quite unable to stand the scorching gaze of the Blue Sect Master, and only spoke after a long time: "There are considerations in this regard, but if it is really impossible to do something, it will not be too reluctant." Besides, the king of Ruyang is a great man, and he must have a way to protect himself, and he doesn't need me to help him at all. I am friend and foe with the King of Ruyang, and if possible, I hope to be able to reclaim the Northlands in his hands. After all, this man is a true hero, and if the Northland is left in his hands, he can still save some vitality. But if it falls into the hands of those jackals in the Yuan Court, I'm afraid that it won't be long before the little vitality left will be stripped away!"

Sect Master Lan listened carefully to what Zhao Yu said, and seeing his solemn expression, he suddenly covered his mouth and smiled like a flower: "People just ask casually, why does Your Highness give such a solemn answer?"

Zhao Yu smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "Or I'm trying to convince myself, to be honest, the most beneficial thing for Jiangnan at the moment should be to use the hands of the emperor and the crown prince to eradicate the king of Ruyang in one fell swoop." As soon as this person dies, there is no one in the north, and then use this opportunity to guide the forces of all parties to conquer each other and consume, I have my own time to lay out the south of the Yangtze River, and then wave the army to the north to drive straight in. But I was very conflicted in my heart, and if I did this, I would never have the shame to face her again......"

Hearing this, the Lan Sect Master sighed faintly and said in a low voice: "If the county lord knows that His Royal Highness treats her like this, she will suffer a lot of suffering and grievances, I am afraid that she will be willing to eat it......"

"It's a pity that I don't know where she is now...... Zhao Yu sighed a little frustratedly, suddenly raised his head and asked with some eagerness: "Sect Master Lan, do you know where Shao Min is now?"

The Blue Sect opened his mouth, but said with a slight resentment: "You and I are an immortal......" (to be continued......
