The Melancholy of the National Teacher

Le Dao did not speak big words.

The current one-sided situation in the court of the imperial capital all stemmed from the fact that everyone thought he was dead.Le Dao sat on the throne of the emperor, relying on military power, relying on defeating these aristocratic families one by one.However, everyone is dreaming of being an emperor, even if the facts are in front of them, they can't control the eagerness of desire.

In the past few years, the aristocratic families have worked hard to infiltrate the three armies and two guards, and spent a lot of effort to take down the two brigades deployed by the ghost owl guards in the imperial capital.As for the imperial army... the imperial army temporarily obeyed Dazai's orders, not only because Dazai paid a lot of money to bribe them, but also because they felt that Le Dao was dead.Otherwise, the Forbidden Army wouldn't care what that old man Dazai said.

Back then, Le Dao forced these aristocratic families to give up most of the land, which can be said to have cut off the roots of the aristocratic families' prosperity.Even so, these aristocratic families that have been passed down for more than a hundred years also have private properties, even private soldiers and slaves in the main families of the counties.The private soldiers reported by Feiyanwei a year ago amounted to more than [-] people.The army with the largest number of people in Daan is the Longma Army, with only [-] people. If it is used alone against the more than [-] troops of the previous family, the winning rate is almost half.

However, if the Wind Lion Army, Dragon Horse Army, and White Tiger Army are combined, the number can reach 20, but these armies stay in different places, and when the news is deliberately controlled in Beijing, the sky may be completely turned upside down. These troops will react.

But things aren't that serious right now.

"If I step forward, everything will be settled." Le Dao said, "But it can't be done. I won't die now, but I will always die in the future. When I really die and hand over the world to Le Sheng, is there going to be such a trouble again? out?"

"Sophistry." Helian Yu said coldly.

He pointed out: "If there is no accident, you can still have a good life for more than 20 years at least. You can slowly grind away the minions of the aristocratic family, so that they can't stand up completely, and then hand over the world to Le Sheng, or come forward now and quickly persuade Forbidden army, thunder strikes to cleanse the families in the imperial capital, although these families are scattered everywhere, but with the three armies in charge, they can't turn the tide, and then slowly—"

"No, you can't take it slow." Le Dao blocked Helian Yu's words.

"The scourge of the previous dynasty was the feudal lords and aristocratic families." Le Dao stretched out a finger and shook, "For example, I, the Yungu Le family, even though everyone looked down on Yungu back then and said it was a rural place, but my father Still quietly pulling up an army, trying to get involved in the hegemony of the world... If I want Daan not to repeat the same mistakes, I will naturally have to ban the family. The roots of the family are in the land. I have already robbed their land, and they still have roots in the court. After all Official positions, big and small, have always been inherited from father to son, brother to younger brother, so when Lao Tzu started the court, the officials in the court are still inextricably linked with the previous court."

Helian Yu frowned.

He thought about it, and slowly followed Le Dao's thoughts and said: "These families have been passed down from generation to generation. People from the Lin family are good at criminal law, and people from the Huang family are in charge of farming. Compared with them, other people who are not from these families can't do their jobs so well. Well, not to mention that these people are all people who took refuge in you when you conquered the world..."

The big witch was interrupted by the emperor again.

"Helian, I heard that in the past, there were also aristocratic families with witches as their inheritance."

"That's right," He Lianyu was stunned, "Such aristocratic families only existed when the Wu Dynasty was at its peak, but it is rare now. There are still one or two branches in Bailu and Nanjiang Baiyue County, but they have not fallen. After all, the talent of Wu It is a rare example that it will be passed down by blood. From ancient times to the present, witches are passed down from master to apprentice. The chances of a commoner from aristocratic families giving birth to a child who is talented to become a witch are almost the same. Moreover, the matter of cultivating little witches now is all about star platforms and Daxueshan... eh?"

Helian Yu understood what Le Dao meant.

He pondered for a moment,

"It's not easy to handle." Da Wu said.

"After all, there are very few people who can become witches. A star platform and a big snow mountain are enough to cover it," Helian Yu accompanied Le Dao to calculate, "If you want to follow the example of the star platform and the big snow mountain, build a Where you can learn documents, laws, judging cases, doing business...even the art of war and strategy, where do the students come from? Where do you come from, sir? How to choose talented people? It's all troublesome."

He Lianyu calculated again, "It's not the work of one generation, I don't know if it will be possible to add all the generations of your Le family."

"Let's put aside the things that don't know when they will be realized," Le Dao said helplessly, "For the time being, I just want to let the ministers and official positions flow. In terms of knowledge alone, what big families can have, and some small families That's fine, anyway, in the troubled times of a hundred years, those big and small aristocratic families have all declined, so it's just right to give them new blood at this time."

Helian Yu stared at him silently.

That gaze pierced Le Dao's flesh like a nail, His Majesty the Emperor blinked and looked at Helian Yu, as if he was very sincere and innocent.

A little oil in the oil lamp was almost burned out, and the morning light shone through the paper window into the room of the restaurant.

The big witch raised his hand and summoned a fireball to continue to act as a light source.

"I don't believe it," he said. "Your purpose and your not showing up now are two different things."

Le said: "..."

He Lianyu continued to point out: "You hid the matter about your moon and stars for me, and you got angry with me halfway, but when it was your turn, you also lied directly."

"..." Le Dao, "My great witch, you and I always hide each other like this but we can't hide it. It really hurts our feelings. We should be honest with each other in the future."

Speaking is better than singing, Helian Yu glanced at him.

Le Dao smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, I plan to hand over all the work of the emperor to Le Sheng, save energy, live a good life with you and lay the foundation for my new destination. Then, my great witch, I found that recently As long as the moon comes out at night, your face is always pale, it seems that if the moon doesn't come out tonight, your energy will be much better immediately."

The emperor smiled with a little coldness in his eyes.

"Can you tell me why?"

A certain pair of old husbands and husbands who worked together didn't mention it, but on the other side of the imperial capital.At dawn, Thirteen brought back information to Le Sheng.

"That person is nominally a guest of the Dazaifu. He hasn't reported to Gui Xiaowei recently. He has been living in the Dazaifu. His subordinates ventured into the Dazaifu and found that this person seems to be accompanying the guests."

"Accompany who?" Le Xing asked.

"The servants of the Dazaifu talked about it, and it seemed that they were distant relatives of Luo Zhai, but from the looks of his subordinates, he was definitely not a member of the Luo clan."

Shisanyi, who was covered in white gauze strips all over his body, bowed, and Le Sheng nodded. He spread a three-foot-square white silk cloth on the table, rubbed the ink himself, put the fine brush aside, and asked Shisan posture.

Feiyan Wei Shisan, who looked like a thin man, took a deep breath, dipped his pen in the ink, and wrote on the white silk without hesitation.The nib of the pen sketched like flowing water, and when he stopped writing, Le Xing glanced at the burning incense next to him, and found that a stick of incense hadn't passed.

On the white silk cloth, there is a person jumping on it, lifelike.

In terms of combat power, the Feiyan Guard may not be able to compare with the Ghost Owl Guard, but these swallows have been immersed in thaumaturgy for a long time, and they are only inferior to the Ghost Owl Guard in terms of combat power.

Le Sheng squinted his eyes to look at the characters in the painting. At first he felt familiar, but after a while, he recognized this person based on the comparison of the thousand portraits he had memorized when he became the captain of Feiyan Guard in the examination. who.

"Cloud random?"

So this person is not dead yet?

Le Sheng whispered to himself: "So did Dazai join forces with him? Indeed, Dazai's action was too sudden, and he put me in prison in the name of assassinating and murdering my uncle. What will he do next? He can't become emperor himself, right?" , not to mention the reputation in the history books, the three armies are still there."

In Le Sheng's eyes, the famous festivals in the history books are not that important, but Luo Zhai, who was born in a family, would naturally consider such things. The family has made the old man, and it has become his shackles.

More and more Feiyan Guards returned to the underground outpost, all of them looked at Le Sheng circling, muttering while thinking.

"Dazai wants to push Yun to be a puppet at will, that's right, that's how it is."

"Your Highness," General Feiyan Zuoweilang said, "We have been fighting Yunshuai's Alliance of Subjugation for several years. Let alone civilians, we only talk about the bloody enmity between the three armed forces and our Feiyan Guard, and the Alliance of Subjugation. The aristocratic family wants to push Yun ascended the throne at will, why didn't he think about what would happen if the three armies rebelled?"

"Because even if the three armies are in rebellion, they will go to the clouds at will." Le Sheng, who was reminded by his subordinates, thought faster and faster, "He is a fool, and he was pushed out by the family as a target. If the three armies of wind lion, white tiger, and dragon horse come out With all my strength, I can kill the imperial capital in less than three days. After the generals quell the rebellion, who will come out to be the emperor? Then there is a struggle, and a chaotic world, but it is a chaotic world manipulated by the family... Damn, this is almost peace Years, have these people never considered how the people are doing?!"

The rare anger of the young prince silenced all the subordinates.

After a while, Feiyan Youweilang, who was sent to contact the outside of the city and track down the whereabouts of the emperor and the national teacher, will enter the outpost. This person was surprised by the silence in the room, and stepped forward after a moment of hesitation, "Your Highness, I have not been in touch." Brothers outside the city, but a letter was found in one of the liaison places."

He paused while being watched by everyone, and said: "...It seems to be written by His Majesty, and it was named for you."

In fact, the vast majority of Feiyan Guards did not have any hope that the emperor was still alive, and they couldn't help being stunned when they heard this.Le Sheng took the letter silently and opened it, only to see a line of scrawled characters on it——

——If you want to get the throne, then let me have a look.

Rough vernacular, very similar to the style of a certain emperor.Fei Yanwei, who secretly glanced at the content, turned pale with fright. Why did they feel that His Majesty also misunderstood their Highness's conspiracy? !

"No, he didn't misunderstand." Le Xing said, speaking more and more slowly, until it was almost inaudible in the end, "He just wanted to test me..."

Uncle is just testing whether he can pick up the sword of the throne and whether he can cut off the dead family's arm.

But uncle, in his heart, the throne is definitely not a knife to kill people. The guards of the forbidden palace, swallows, and even owls who died recently are enough, there is no need for more, Le Xing thought.

"If I can ascend to the throne, I may not be able to become an overlord like my uncle." Le Xing said in a low voice, but the surrounding Feiyan guards could hear him.

He showed a smile to these loyal people, "Now that we know how the family will act, then we can use a more convenient, faster, and less deadly method—"

His firm voice echoed in the small, dark room.

"—Fix it immediately!"
