Chapter 210, Emperor Renchen's killing machine

Just as Pan Long was galloping in the direction of Youzhou on the strong wind, what had just happened had been reported to various forces.

Emperor Renchen, the Son of Heaven, was the first to get the news, he listened to the secret agent's report expressionlessly, nodded, and let the secret agent go down, without saying anything.

After a while, he said to Wei Luo, the internal supervisor next to him, "Grandpa, what do you think of this matter?"

Wei Luo is the grandfather of Emperor Renchen, he has four daughters, and the youngest daughter Wei Qingling is the late Queen Mother.

The chief officer of the inner court of the Great Xia court has always been served by the elders among the relatives, and according to the statement of Emperor Yichou, who set this rule back then, it was to balance the inner court.

The officials in the inner court are basically eunuchs, and the eunuchs of Great Xia are not required to be eunuchs, but they must first be orphans, but they must practice Bing Xin Jue and Tong Zi Gong.

These people are naturally absolutely loyal to the emperor, but they tend to do things more extremely, so they need to be old and stable seniors as leaders to avoid accidents.

The internal supervisor and admiral elected by Emperor Yi Chou back then was his grandfather. Since then, most of the emperors of the past dynasties have preferred to let their grandfathers serve as internal supervisors.

Unless it's ...... His grandfather was dead.

Wei Luo is one of the top grandmasters in Great Xia, known as the "Happy Sword" when he roamed the rivers and lakes, and has competed with the long-famous "Qionglai One Sword" Ren Changsheng three times. The first time he lost, the last two times were draws.

Since his grandson became the emperor, Wei Luo has entered the court as an official and has never left the palace again. For nearly thirty years, he has devoted himself to cultivation, and no one knows how far his cultivation has reached.

Even...... Many people speculate that he has cultivated into a demon god and has an eternal and immortal longevity.

Di Renchen knew that he did try, but he didn't succeed.

Originally, Wei Luo planned to take his time, but after the "Yiwu Rebellion" during the Dragon Boat Festival last year, he was the internal supervisor at the time, but he could only watch Bi Lingkong wreak havoc in the Shendu, and he closed the house in a fit of anger.

As a result, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, when he heard the news of the assassination of the Son of Heaven, he forced his way out of the customs desperately, was seriously injured, and has not fully recovered.

This choice seems a bit silly, but in Di Renchen's opinion, it is a manifestation of loyalty and selflessness, which is touching.

So in the face of the matter in front of him, he wanted to listen to his grandfather's opinion and use his grandfather's experience in his more than 160 years.

Wei Luo pondered for a moment and said, "Is this Hedong trying to suppress the people of Luonan's faction and angering them?"

Di Renchen was noncommittal.

Wei Luo continued: "The group of people under Luo Nan, in terms of talent, is indeed outstanding. It's just that most of them have a rebellious temperament and are difficult to restrain themselves. For such people, you can exchange interests with them, you can also use feelings to win them over, and you can also use ideals to persuade them...... But you shouldn't play tricks with them. Hedong didn't do it steadily enough this time!"

In a world where power is its own, power is useful, but there is no overwhelming advantage in the face of force.

Most of the high-rollers also have families and industries, and they will indeed back down for the sake of their families and industries, but it is really a critical moment - they have families and industries, and officials and even kings do not?

It's a big deal, even if you can't end up together, he desperately chops off one of your arms, do you lose it?

The son of a daughter can't sit down, not to mention that an arm is exchanged for someone else's life, even if he takes a finger for it, it is a loss!

Therefore, between the court and the rivers and lakes, no matter how big the contradiction is, it is often necessary to save each other's face, in order not to let the contradiction intensify to the point of desperateness.

Just like last year's Dragon Boat Festival, those high-rollers who listened to Bi Lingkong's call and killed the masters of the court in exchange for elixir. The imperial court only issued arrest warrants for them, and did not extend the scope of the attack to their teachers and families.

It's not that I don't want to, but it's ...... Don't dare!

And this time, the conservatives used the method of turning over old accounts to attack the patrol envoys, which is a violation of the unspoken rules.

For many years, the imperial court has either not blamed the past for the masters of the rivers and lakes who are willing to serve the court, or they have taken it lightly, even if they are genuine people who rob homes and kill people and set fires, they often only symbolically punish them.

According to the rules, the cases that the patrol envoys did before they became officials are really not worth mentioning.

That's why Wei Luo is so critical.

Rules are a tool to protect the interests of rulers, and Emperor Hedong actually broke the rules by himself, which is indeed "very unstable"!

Di Renchen sighed: "Grandpa, you are too polite, I know you still haven't said half a word." This thing...... It can't be done with Hedong alone. ”

Wei Luo smiled and did not answer.

"Hedong himself, and Luo Nan actually don't have such a big contradiction. Because he knows, and Lonan knows, and everyone knows it...... There's no way I'm going to pass the throne to Lonan. Di Renchen said, "This is not only for the good of the country, but also for the good of Luonan." Luo Nan has a violent personality, even if he has cultivated himself over the years, the anger in his heart has not been resolved. Let him go to the Son of Heaven, he will either become a tyrant, or he will be depressed and depressed, and he will be sick. ”

"Luo Nan is talented, and he has the hope of immortality, so it's better to concentrate on martial arts. Wei Luo said.

Di Renchen nodded: "My emperor's family has been eaten by the luck of Kyushu, and it is difficult to cultivate, but all the descendants of the three generations, since ancient times, there has been no one who has been able to cultivate into a long life, and even the geniuses such as the Sword Emperor in the past can only stop at the realm of grandmasters." No matter how talented Luo Nan is, he will not surpass the Sword Emperor. If you concentrate on martial arts, you may still have hope for immortality, but if you are distracted by government affairs...... I'm afraid he's going to go crazy and die young!"

For a long time, "lifespan" was the heavy shackle that plagued the Great Xia royal family.

As long as the children of the clan have not been born for three generations and have not changed the emperor to Zhao, they will be eaten by luck. Not only is cultivation difficult, but the life-extending effect of cultivation will also become very poor.

For example, Di Renchen himself, he is a congenital master, and it is said that he can live to be more than one hundred and twenty years old, but now he is only about sixty, but he already feels that his energy is low, and it is estimated that his time is short.

Not only that, among the dozens of heavenly sons in Great Xia, among the thousands of blood relatives with the surname of emperors, there are also a lot of people who have cultivated into real people and even grandmasters, but none of these real grandmasters have lived to be more than 200 years old, and the longest-lived one has only lived to be 155 years old.

That real person from the clan still had an adventure. It is said that you should be able to live to be more than 300 years old......

For Di Renchen, passing the throne to Di Hedong not only meets the needs of the government and the opposition, but also allows the second son to concentrate on martial arts, and maybe he will be able to cultivate into a demon god in the future and gain immortality.

Isn't that a win-win!

Therefore, Emperor Hedong squeezed Di Luonan's power, he did not object, and was even happy to see it.

Even if Di Hedong's approach is not appropriate and some rules are broken, he can accept it.

No one is born with an understanding of power schemes, so what's wrong with letting the prince try a mistake while he is still the emperor?

But...... The premise is that this matter must really be led by Di Hedong, not instructed by someone with a heart.

Di Renchen, who is almost at the end of his life, is particularly sensitive on this issue.

He is like a wounded beast that will never allow anyone to peep into his nest and cubs!

"Grandpa, this matter can only be hard for you. He whispered, "You can help me check and see if anyone is egging on Hedong." If anything...... When the time comes, I'll take him with me!"

As he spoke, Di Renchen's eyes flashed with fierce light.
