Murong Lan's beautiful eyebrows frowned: "Have you really decided to do things like breaking up the land for the emperor? This is a direct enemy of the major families. Today you exposed the land deed and even exposed the mafia. It’s just a few words and no formal actions, but touching their properties means killing them, and there will definitely be backlash.”
Liu Yu laughed: "To be honest, before today, I was still hesitant about this matter, because I was not sure whether I could get the support of the people if I really wanted to antagonize a high-ranking family like this. If ordinary people in Dajin If the common people, especially the merchants and tenants of aristocratic families, do not dare to rise up and fight, then I alone, or with the support of some brothers in the army, will be like a mantis trying to block the car."
"But today, have you seen that so many ordinary people, as well as low-level scholars, all responded to the call and denounced the wealthy families. They know that the land that should belong to them, the domestic production, is only because of what happened a hundred years ago. With an edict from the founding emperor, these aristocratic families belong to these families forever. Not to mention whether the mafia exists or not, there is no such reason in the world to enslave others like this for generations. Even slaves who are sold into slavery have the freedom to redeem themselves. One day, the people of Jin Dynasty lost the right to own their own land forever. This grudge has been brewing for hundreds of years, and it finally broke out today."
"After all, there are only a handful of aristocratic families in Da Jin. There are only dozens or hundreds of families. Counting the descendants and nephews, there are only tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people. However, the people of Da Jin are in the millions or tens of millions. At any time, these high-ranking families are in the minority. Facing the awakened people, they cannot suppress them forever, especially since these people now have the support of the emperor behind them."
Murong Lan nodded: "That's true. The emperor hopes to keep the people in his hands, so that he can tax and levy people, so that he can implement national policies and appoint and remove officials according to his own will. Only in this way can he get rid of the influence of aristocratic families. Control and become a powerful monarch who can truly make his own decisions. But Brother Lang, you have placed your hopes on the Xie family in the past. Can the emperor be reliable this time?"
Liu Yu frowned. Murong Lan's words touched his worries. Yes, Xie An really wanted to go to the Northern Expedition in the past and made huge concessions and sacrifices, but he was still ignored by Qinglong and the others. Stop, frame, and the emperor's power today is much inferior to that of Xie An, who once dominated the world, and the Xie family, which is a super family. Although he has brought down Qinglong today, the mafia is still there, and Jingzhou Huan Xuan will never be able to help him. Even Wang Gong may turn against him because of the military power in Beifu. Helping the emperor seize power is tantamount to embarking on a road of no return. Do he really want to do this? ?
Murong Lan looked at Liu Yu and saw that he was speechless. Knowing what her husband was worried about, she stepped forward and gently held his hand: "Sima Yao is not an ambitious sage. He is only among the best." , but had the power to dominate, and was unwilling to be manipulated by the family. Since the founding of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, no emperor has been able to sit on the throne for more than ten years, but Sima Yao accidentally got caught up in the various internal struggles of the mafia. Being an emperor now is a miracle, but things must turn against each other. The reason why he openly supports you today is because he wants to deal with aristocratic families. The people now do not get the land and tax exemptions given to them by the emperor. In other words, they do not get them. In terms of actual benefits, it is even more impossible to support him by abandoning his family and career. The only people he can rely on now are the Beifu Army and the Xie family."
"You can't control the Beifu Army now, and the Xie family may change their stance at any time and side with the big family. Today on the stage, when Xi Chao's identity was first exposed, the crowd was furious, the big family was extremely passive, and the emperor It is understandable that the Xie family sided with him for a while, but what happens later? If the Mafia, through various private operations, allows all the families in the world to unite to fight against the emperor, or even directly attack the emperor, then, you what to do?"
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "This is why I want to enter the palace guard. No matter what, I have to protect Sima Yao first from others. If the emperor dies in an accident at this time, everything will be fine." No matter whether I will help him die in the future, at least now, I have to save his life. This is not only for myself, but also for the duty that a citizen of Jin Dynasty should fulfill!"
Murong Lan sighed softly: "If someone else stabs you with open fire, of course you don't have to worry. No one in this world can defeat you head-on. But if poisoning, medicine, or other dark methods are used, you are sure that you can survive." emperor?"
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "With Fatty here, he is good at these things. As long as he arranges the emperor's personal security, I believe these methods will not work."
Murong Lan curled up her lips: "Brother Lang, you have to know that the emperor cannot completely trust you now. No one assassinated him before. He has been safe and sound for decades. If you suddenly say that you want to change the people around him, I'm afraid he won't be happy to rearrange his security. After all, in the face of power, life and death, any trust is limited. Besides, Liu Muzhi is a foreign minister after all, and he is a man. It is impossible for him to do it every day. If you stay in the harem, even if you are a guard in the palace, you can only guard during the day, and you can only be outside the palace at night, so you cannot protect everything. The people closest to the emperor are still the palace men and eunuchs. "
Liu Yu frowned: "Then what do you think we should do? It's impossible to keep the palace people around us. Many of these people are the mafia's spies who have been planted for many years. If they really want to attack the emperor, I'm afraid It's impossible to guard against them. I didn't take action before because we could still coexist peacefully with the emperor. Now that the emperor wants to take back power, it's life and death. How can we trust these people with our lives again?"
Murong Lan said seriously: "So, you can't mention this matter yourself. The person the emperor trusts most now is not you, but Miaoyin. Today he is willing to change his mind. Finally, he listened to you, which was also Miaoyin's advice. You'd better be here Before meeting the emperor, you should first go to Miaoyin and reach a consensus with her, and then let Miaoyin make these suggestions to the emperor about changing the people around you. Only in this way can it be feasible."
Liu Yu laughed: "That's what I meant. It's simple. I can go find her right away."
Murong Lan sighed faintly: "Brother Lang, are you really ready to talk to her? Whether it is to her or to the Xie family, what conditions are you prepared to give and what concessions are you going to make?"
