Gaowu: The Strongest Legend in Mythology

The meeting dispersed.

The civil and military ministers began to retreat.

After deliberation for a long time, we still didn't come up with any good countermeasures.

The atmosphere in the court hall was mysterious. Some people roared loudly, some were silent, and some nodded in agreement.

indeed.

The shock brought by the Northern War was too great.

Before, they had calculated that this battle would be difficult to win, but they did not expect that they would lose so miserably and that so many would-be legends would die in the battle.

The methods of the eighteenth prince were too unpredictable.

And this allowed them to see Qin Yu's capabilities.

But now, after all, Qin Hai is in power and is the Great Emperor, respected by the world, so he still dare not disobey his orders.

They all lowered their heads and were thinking about something.

This is about taking sides. If they take the wrong side and let Qin Yu win the throne, what will they do?

Some civil and military officials in the DPRK were also attracted to Qin Yu.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Xiao Chenghai felt quite relaxed and at ease after returning home from court.

Water the flowers and grass, and take your time to make a cup of tea.

Don't think about the court affairs.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, what time is it? There is a huge chaos in the court, and His Majesty is extremely angry. You still have the thoughts to grow flowers here, but you don't know that the outside world has already turned upside down."

A middle-aged man stood next to him, very helpless.

"Why panic? What's supposed to come will come. You can't hold your breath again. This won't work."

Xiao Chenghai said lightly.

"Xiao Xiang, Xiang Lu is attacking you again at today's meeting, and His Majesty is in the stage of rage. If you can't come up with any strategy to quell the chaos, you will most likely be deprived of your position as Prime Minister."

The middle-aged man shook his head.

He is very clear.

Today's Holy Emperor is not the wise and mighty late emperor of the past. After his defeat in the north, he has become like a furious lion that wants to eat people.

"I will do my duty well. I will do whatever Your Majesty asks me to do. If Your Majesty thinks that I am old and not qualified to be the Prime Minister, then I can't help it."

Xiao Chenghai was indifferent.

He has been the prime minister for three dynasties and still remains standing, not only because of his ability, but also because of his cunning.

Such as the period of the late emperor.

When the late emperor wanted to suppress the Eight Founding Families and support a group of forces, he fully cooperated.

During the Qin Hai period, he had to mobilize troops and horses, collect grain and grass, etc., and he also did it carefully.

"But you are like this."

The middle-aged man said helplessly: "After all, the Holy Emperor was not the late emperor. Now there is great turmoil. People at home and abroad are watching. If you are not careful, this will be the beginning of a country's decline and chaos."

The seven sects of the Ten Kingdoms are not eternal in the Eastern Wasteland, and have been replaced in the long years.

"Zhou Xin, you have been with me for a hundred years. What do you think of the current situation?" Xiao Chenghai said with a smile.

"Although the rebels took over the northern territory with great momentum, the imperial court still has huge crushing power. As long as His Majesty is determined and even pays a huge price, they can still suppress them."

Analysis by Zhou Xin.

“Paper data is okay, but other things must be taken into consideration.”

"I understand what Xiang Xiang means. You are saying that the hearts of the people in the country are in turmoil, and not everyone is loyal to His Majesty. As long as the eighteenth prince shows enough ability, there will inevitably be defections, and sometimes the power of the court will soon be reversed. The power of the rebels.”

Zhou Xindao.

"This is just one of them, and the strength around the Eighteenth Prince is unknown. Do you think that the Eighteenth Prince only has the strength shown in the Northern Battle? There are more crucial points, such as."

Xiao Chenghai said.

"You mean the royal heritage!"

Zhou Xin suddenly woke up: "This time, except for the fact that Prince Jade took action before, the royal family has been too calm now and did not interfere in the Beicang battle. This is unreasonable."

"You are wrong again. It is very common sense. But now I guess that the ancestors of the royal family are also in hesitation and entanglement. They are all members of the royal family, and the palms and backs of their hands are full of flesh. How to choose."

"One is the current emperor, and the other is an even better eighteenth prince. The success in the battle in the north is enough to prove his ability."

How could Xiao Chenghai not know this?

Comparing the two, the Eighteenth Prince is obviously the better one. He has reached the realm of life and death at the age of only twenty-three, and is very likely to add another legendary power to the royal family.

And brave and resourceful.

The seven expeditions to the barbarians beyond the Great Wall are ironclad evidence.

"The late emperor did not leave any edicts, which left hidden dangers."

Zhou Xin was also heartbroken.

"Among the royal family, as long as those who have reached the realm of heaven and human beings will give up some power, they will join the royal elders and become one of the foundations. However, there are rules and they cannot easily interfere with the emperor's position. This is a way of balancing."

"And that's not the most important thing."

"The royal family is also a human being. People have their own feelings and people they admire and like. Some of the ancestors of the royal family are rigid and want to suppress civil strife, but there are also those who appreciate the ability of the eighteenth prince. They know that the eighteenth prince is excellent, so It seems that the ancestors are also playing games, resulting in the current silent attitude."

Xiao Chenghai said seriously.

Also normal.

The foundation of the royal family has been accumulated over tens of thousands of years, and the time span is extremely large.

Everyone has their favorite descendants. If someone wants to step in and dethrone the current emperor because he doesn't like it, wouldn't everything be in chaos?

of course.

What's more, Qin Yu is too good, which makes them tangled.

"The ancestors of the royal family don't have a hard time making a choice, so why don't they just watch the show and let the internal fighting take place?"

Zhou Xin's eyes widened.

"The wisdom of those ancestors is so profound. Since the Holy One has the support of the founding families, let them support it. It may also weaken the strength of these major families by then, but I am afraid now that this will be a stalemate for too long. , the loss is too great, leading to disaster.”

This is what Xiao Chenghai is worried about.

If a mediocre prince dares to speak of rebellion, he will suppress you with a slap.

Zhou Xin nodded in approval.

The royal family and the aristocratic family have always been in a relationship that complements each other and is indispensable, but at the same time they compete with each other.

The royal family needs the power of aristocratic families.

But the aristocratic family needs the royal family to strengthen itself.

The imperial power is strong and can suppress everything and make the family work for you.

But if the royal family is weak, the imperial power will be in danger.

But the royal family cannot act randomly when the family is doing nothing wrong, otherwise it will cause chaos and break both their own arms.

Therefore, the late emperor chose to continue as usual, using the power of supporting the new generation to suppress the power of the aristocratic families, so that the aristocratic families could not occupy too much power in a country.

It is not impossible for aristocratic families to usurp the throne.

A very typical thing is that the Daqi Dynasty, which has been inherited for tens of thousands of years, was replaced by domestic aristocratic families thousands of years ago, and the country was extremely peaceful.

"The strongest thing about the royal family is the foundation they have accumulated over tens of thousands of years. Although I have been the prime minister for three dynasties, even I don't know how many powerful people the royal family has hidden, and this is also the greatest confidence."

Xiao Chenghai said solemnly: "In this battle between the two dragons, we don't need to interfere too much and do our part. All we can do is wait for the war to end."

Great departure from the dynasty.

One of the seven sects of the Ten Kingdoms.

"It's interesting, it's really interesting. There is actually a fight within Daqian. Qin Hai, the emperor of Daqian at that time, Qin Yu, who conquered the barbarians outside the Great Wall, actually started fighting for the throne."

A majestic man wearing Lihuo Emperor's robe, stroking his beard and laughing.

He is very happy.

"Your Majesty, during the battle in the Northern Territory of Daqian, there was a quasi-legendary named Zhang Liang who killed many people in a row, allowing Qin Yu to dominate the Northern Territory. Now there is turmoil within Daqian. It is said that Qin Hai will mobilize more strong men to suppress it. .”

There was someone beside him.

"Qin Yu, I know that he is very capable, and it is not that easy to suppress him. Da Gan has killed many strong men in this fight against each other. You have given birth to two good sons."

This mighty man is none other than Emperor Dali, a legendary powerful man.

The death of Emperor Daqian was unexpected, but they were all happy. After all, the oppression he brought during his reign was too strong.

"Your Majesty, this is a good opportunity."

"Some special but rare and important minerals have been unearthed in the northern border of Daqian, and they are of great strategic significance. I, Dali, have fought against each other many times in the Daqian Army. Not to mention the loss of troops and generals, we have been unable to win. This opportunity has come to us. "

"But don't call them together. Wait until they are fighting fiercely and their brains are beaten out before taking action to expand the territory of Great Li. I believe that I am not the only one who has this idea."

"Especially in the Northern Territory of Daqian, the barbarians are the most miserable. The Battle of the Seven Expeditions destroyed many royal courts, and they hate Qin Yu even more. My news makes them restless again and they are preparing for revenge. They can use it. stand up."

"It would be even more beautiful if this time we can weaken the country of Qian in one fell swoop."

Emperor Dali laughed and felt happy.
