Great Wei scholar

At least in troubled times, when the country is in turmoil, it is best to have only one voice. In this case, there will be no mistakes in the overall situation.

Even if it's really wrong, it's better than you saying a word to me. In the end, you are in a dilemma, and you are slowly dragged to death, right?

Since ancient times, many dynasties have been dragged to death and died slowly. After all, under normal circumstances, according to the emperor's intention, even a tyrant would not want the people to suffer.

When Xu Qingxiao said these words, the empress couldn't help being surprised.

A hint of shock flashed in the depths of her beautiful eyes.

Because what Xu Qingxiao said was what she always wanted to do.

Now that the Great Wei is on the verge of collapse, and the court is constantly fighting, she has no power over many things, and she always hopes that she can truly control the Great Wei.

But this is impossible, court, chamber of commerce, dignitaries, vassals, which one would really listen to me?

It is too difficult to truly achieve great unification.

But Xu Qingxiao dared to say that she was the only one who could sweep everything in the court for herself, how could this not shock her.

It's just that she didn't continue talking, but quietly looked at Xu Qingxiao, waiting for the next sentence.

As far as Xu Qingxiao is concerned, the development of the court will become complicated sooner or later. Now the Great Wei is in crisis, but once it turns from decline to prosperity.

Then there will inevitably be many parties in the Great Wei Dynasty.

All six books are old.

Chen Zhengru is already 65 years old, and in a few years it will be time to retire and he needs to abdicate in favor of more talented young people.

This is something that will inevitably happen in every era. The exchange of the old and the new is nothing more than the fact that the Great Wei still needs them to stabilize the overall situation.

But the empress is young.

She is only in her twenties now. As an emperor, she can still rule for 80 years, and she will abdicate at the age of [-]. After all, an emperor cannot sit for a long time, and can use elixir to continue his life, but if an emperor rules a dynasty for more than a hundred years.

It will attract all kinds of unknowns, which is not tolerated by heaven and earth.

The abdicated emperor cannot interfere in the government affairs, otherwise it will cause even greater troubles.

Therefore, the road ahead will be even more difficult. If it is not handled well now, it will cause more trouble in the future.

Not only to the empress, but also to herself.

As for whether he is a party or not?

I, Xu Qingxiao, am a scholar. I am devoted to His Majesty regardless of the party or not. If I insist on being accused, then I am the imperial party. Are you convinced?

Eunuchs must show up.

And don't be in a hurry, just plan it out, even if it is a seed, it must be planted in the empress's heart.

After the eunuch party is established, it is time to show off your ambitions.

This sword is not only His Majesty's killing sword, but also Xu Qingxiao's killing sword.

"Your Majesty, as for punishing feudal kings, it is even easier to put an end to disasters and chaos. When the court is unified, even if the feudal lords of various places want to move, they have to weigh it. And your majesty can let this sword hang on their heads, making them Panic, those who obey surrender their military power, and those who obey, the sword will fall by itself without His Majesty's action."

"The vassal king must be sure, and the world will naturally be in chaos."

Xu Qingxiao said seriously.

Of course, the vassal rebellion cannot be resolved so easily, and Xu Qingxiao is only exaggerating.

To solve the chaos of feudal lords, there is a trick that is particularly effective, the first conspiracy in the ages, but Xu Qingxiao doesn't plan to use this trick now.

After all, Da Wei is now suffering from internal and external troubles, and taking it out is to force the vassal king to rebel. We need to wait for Da Wei to stabilize before taking it out to pretend to beep.

If this conspiracy was brought out, Xu Qingxiao would not believe that the Empress would be so calm.

Indeed, the empress was quite calm. She understood how complicated the vassal rebellion was, and it was almost impossible to solve it. She had to suppress it from all aspects, and she would not do it lightly unless it was absolutely necessary.

Otherwise, if it affects the whole body, it will cause more troubles.

"What about the second?"

"Ai Qing continued."

But the empress continued to ask.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the second is that this sword of killing and cutting can lay the foundation... the sword of the Son of Heaven!"

When Xu Qingxiao said this, his eyes were extremely clear, looking at the Empress.

"Sword of the Son of Heaven?"

"What is the Sword of the Son of Heaven?"

The empress became even more curious. This killing sword was already so attractive, but she never thought that it was just to draw out the sword of the Son of Heaven.

"The Sword of the Son of Heaven is an artifact of the Great Wei Dynasty. It is safe to cut inside and outside. When the sword of killing and cutting is stained with blood, the sword of the Son of Heaven can be forged."

"At that time, your majesty's words will be the sword of the emperor, and the direction of the sword will look at the world. Not to mention the Northern Expedition, even if there is a full-scale war, it will not be impossible. This sword will allow the Great Wei to rule the mountains and rivers, and the sun and the moon will shine together. .”

Xu Qingxiao's voice was full of excitement.

When he said the last sentence, he clenched his fists and said with firm eyes.

Unify the mountains and rivers!

The sun and the moon shine together!

Xu Qingxiao's ability to draw big cakes is almost at the full level, even the empress of Wei, after listening to the sword of the son of heaven, her heart is inexplicably moved.

Although I know it is difficult, and it is likely to be a big cake.

But it still moved her heart.

Because she is human after all, it is impossible not to have a little desire, on the contrary, her desire is even greater, but she knows restraint, understands that some things can be done, and some things cannot be done.

"The sword of killing."

"Sword of the Son of Heaven."

For some reason, the Empress always felt that something was missing, but she couldn't figure it out.

Seeing the traces of thought in the Empress' eyes, Xu Qingxiao's face was calm.

In fact, his real plan is the three swords.

The eunuch corresponds to the sword of killing.

The Empress corresponds to the Sword of the Son of Heaven.

And there is a sword, which is very important. This sword is the core, the real core.

And this sword can counterbalance the sword of killing and cutting, and it can also counterbalance the sword of the emperor.

This sword is called 'The Sword of People's Heart'.

Yes, it is the faith of all peoples.

When the sword of killing becomes extremely sharp, you need the sword of the emperor to suppress it, and when the sword of the emperor is extremely sharp, then your own sword of people's hearts can suppress everything.

Because no matter how strong and capable the emperor is, he relies on the people of the world.

So whether it is a tyrant or a wise king, they all understand the truth that it doesn't matter how many courtiers they kill, and it doesn't matter how many years they fight.

But no matter what, you can't offend the people of the world.

Once you offend the people of the world, let your dynasty be immortal, let your emperor be like a god, in the end, you will be just a wave in the long river.

It's nothing more than a little bigger.

Those who win the hearts of the people get everything.

And this sword was prepared by Xu Qingxiao for himself. He didn't know what the future would hold, whether he could retreat, or whether he could plan a strategy.

So it is best to buy an insurance policy for yourself.

The sword of people's hearts is not sharp, but it is as heavy as Mount Tai.

It's just that this sword must be controlled by oneself. This is his strongest trump card, none of them.

"My love."

"How to forge the sword of killing?"

The empress opened her mouth, she didn't fantasize about the Sword of the Son of Heaven, but she was very interested in the Sword of Slaying, because she really needs such a sharp weapon now.

"Return to Your Majesty, this sword needs to meet three conditions."

"First, they must be absolutely loyal to His Majesty. In other words, they only have His Majesty in their eyes and cannot tolerate anyone else. Once His Majesty declines, they will also decline. If His Majesty is strong, they will also become strong."

"Secondly, they must have force, and they must also have great wisdom and be good at forbearance."

"Thirdly, they must not join any party, whether it is Confucianism, Daoism or Wendang."

Xu Qingxiao mentioned three elements, without these three elements, it is impossible to forge a killing sword.

But when he said this, the empress frowned slightly.

She naturally knows the three points that Xu Qingxiao said, but the problem is that she is still looking for this kind of talent.

Just can't find it.

If you can find it, do you still need Xu Qingxiao to speak?

"Xu Aiqing, is there anyone to choose?"

The next moment, the Empress opened her mouth and asked Xu Qingxiao if there was anyone to choose?

But when he said this, Xu Qingxiao shook his head directly.

"Chen, Mude."

Xu Qingxiao directly vetoed it.

Let yourself pick someone?To put it bluntly, I have suggested it now, and the empress is overjoyed, but when I look back and think about it carefully, do I think there is something wrong with me?

And I was chatting with Li Xian, so no one saw it?There are so many eyeliners in the palace, the Empress may not be aware of things outside, but who can't notice the things in the palace?

If it weren't for the friendship with Li Xian before, Xu Qingxiao would not have mentioned this matter.

This killing sword had to be made by the Empress herself, she couldn't participate in it, at most she could only give some suggestions, and after the sword was out of its sheath, she could borrow it and use it.

No matter how nice Li Xian said, and no matter how grateful Li Xian was to him, even if he had saved his life, would it be worth his own glory and wealth in the end?

It's not that Xu Qingxiao thinks human nature is too bad, but human nature itself is like this. No matter what you do, you must be on guard, whether it is against the party or the empress.

Everyone revolves around their own interests, without interests, everything is empty talk and delusion.

Hearing this, the Empress was really taken aback.

I thought Xu Qingxiao would tell me the answer after saying so much, but what I didn't expect was that Xu Qingxiao said no at the critical moment?

The empress was silent.

She looked at Xu Qingxiao with complicated eyes.

After a while, the empress continued to speak.

"Then what suggestion does Xu Aiqing have?"

The Empress continued to ask.

She didn't believe that Xu Qingxiao had no idea at all, maybe she had some scruples, but forging a sword of killing and cutting was indeed a good thing for herself.

That's why she kept asking.

"Your Majesty, I don't know much about this. After all, I can satisfy the above three points at the same time. I can't think of it for a while."

"However, it's not bad to be similar to Miss Wan'er, but Miss Wan'er is often accompanied by the holy side, so it's a little troublesome."

Xu Qingxiao couldn't say it clearly, but he couldn't help but say it, what if he really made a mistake?So I can only mention one vaguely. As for whether the empress can understand it, that is her business.

It's all said and done.

Following Xu Qingxiao's voice, Zhao Wan'er was a little surprised. She didn't expect Xu Qingxiao to push herself, but this was considered a compliment.

But to Zhao Wan'er, this seemed like a compliment.

But the empress couldn't help being curious, she thought of something inexplicably, but she didn't think of it all at once.

At this moment, Xu Qingxiao's voice sounded again.

"Your Majesty, minister, there is one more thing to start."

Xu Qingxiao spoke up and mentioned the second thing.
