Under the fake Mafia chief, is the real Mafia chief.
Xu Xianzhi's sighs and footsteps as he left echoed through the copper pipes on the wall in the secret room of the main rudder. Xuanwu stood beside a copper pipe and gently pressed a mechanism. A reed got stuck, and immediately, the copper pipe was sealed, and there was no longer any reverberation. The firelight flickered, reflecting four masked faces. Xuanwu sat back in his seat and said calmly: "Everyone, what do you want? Do you want to say something?”
Suzaku said coldly: "You all listen carefully, this is what Qiu Ba wants to do, let alone Liu Yu, even this Liu Yi wants to replace our family world, White Tiger, Qinglong, these are all Good job you did!”
The corner of Qinglong's mouth curled up: "They are just some industries in the capital. These have been in our plans for a long time. Without the supply of these industries, the children of major aristocratic families will be forced to lose their iron rice bowls. They can only Have you come out to do something? The Jingba people risked annihilation and created this miracle of righteousness. Aren't these the rewards they deserve?"
Suzaku said bitterly: "The reward you deserve? Then why are we sitting here? From now on, each of us can just hang on to our own little family property for a day. The property, power, and title are all handed over to others, and we hope that we can send them to others." Brother Nu or Brother Xile can have a conscience and leave some for us so that we can still eat. Is this the ending you want?"
Bai Hu sighed: "Okay, Master Suzaku, don't be so angry. It will only affect your calm judgment and is of no benefit. We are here to solve problems, not to quarrel among ourselves. Take away these industries It’s not the Jingba people who did it, but Huan Xuan, you weren’t so angry at that time.”
Suzaku gritted his teeth and said: "Huan Xuan is taking advantage of others by clever means. Everyone knows that he is the enemy of all our aristocratic families, so we supported Liu Yu and the others to rebel. But now neither Liu Yu nor Liu Yi intend to take advantage of them." These industries will be returned to us. If this is the case, then what is the use of supporting them? You have always said that after Liu Yu and others gain power, they will definitely cooperate with us and return these industries that were taken away by Huan Xuan to us, but What now? Master Xuanwu, you have to give me an explanation, otherwise, I'm afraid our Black Hand Universe will really die in the hands of people like us."
Xuanwu said calmly: "Suzaku, even if Liu Yi makes you angry again, at least one sentence is right. The world has changed. The knife now is not in our hands, but in the hands of the Jingba people. We can't be like that." You have the same influence as before. Whether it is the industries in the capital or the political power in the DPRK and China, you will have to give up a part, or even a large part, to the Beijing Eight. Now, instead of thinking about how to take back these industries, you should have a broader vision. Be more open-minded and think about how to make Kyopachi one of us.”
Suzaku sneered and said: "A country bumpkin has entered the city and wants to become a noble? Master Xuanwu, do you really think that the children of our aristocratic families and century-old elites will fall into the company of these people who wield bows and swords and kill dogs and pigs? They Can they talk or write poems? Can they calligraphy or paint? They don’t have any skills that can make people happy and sublimate their spirits. They are just a bunch of sweaty warriors who can charge into battle. Once they get rich, I’m afraid they will In less than three years, he will be like Huan Xuan, who can no longer ride a horse. What will you do in the capital then? Go back to the countryside and continue farming. You give them these industries so that they can stay in the capital for a long time. Making a living in the capital, are you sure you want to do this?"
Xuanwu smiled slightly: "Aren't many of our descendants from aristocratic families degenerated like this a long time ago? Why do we always look down on these warriors? At least now, they are still very good at fighting, and whether it is according to Liu Yu's idea or our big The rule of the Jin Dynasty for hundreds of years is that if you have made meritorious service, you must be knighted, otherwise, if you have meritorious service but not reward, who in the world can be convinced?!"
Suzaku said sternly: "I don't have any objection to giving a title or a salary. This time, the Jingba people have indeed made great efforts, performed miracles, and shed blood and sacrifices. But the question is, do these titles and salaries have to be in the capital? Can't they be allocated to those who Outside, let them be the owners of the manor? The capital is the center of the world, and what is needed is noble people. Now let these scumbags come in, and give them property so that they can stay forever. Are you willing in the future? Are all these people our neighbors?”
Qinglong smiled slightly: "What can we do? Can you think of a clever trick to drive them away?"
Suzaku gritted his teeth: "Let them continue to fight, let them continue to fight Huan Xuan. After the fight, Jiangzhou, Jingzhou, Guangzhou, the world is so big, don't these thousands of Jingba have no place to seal it? As long as they don't stay in As long as you stay out of our sight, you can go anywhere in the capital!"
Bai Hu laughed: "Sir Zhuque, do you really think that now is the time for us to do whatever we want? Master Xuanwu made it clear that the knife is in other people's hands, and the political power will also be in other people's hands in the future, not us. You want others to do as you want, but they want us to do as they want. He is burning incense if he allows our noble family to continue to stay in the capital. You are still thinking about enfeoffing them to some countryside, why don't you go?"
Suzaku was so angry that he was trembling all over. He looked at Xuanwu with his eyes widened: "It's you who colluded and made concessions to them again and again, and we are where we are today. I have said long ago that we must form our own army instead of relying on the Beifu Army." Liu Yu, Liu Yi, and He Wuji, they are not Liu Laozhi, they cannot obey our orders! Huan Xuan should not have been allowed to enter Beijing from the beginning, this is the source of the loss of control! "
Xuanwu said calmly: "Master Zhuque, please be patient. Huan Xuan has been out of control since he entered the capital. Why did he enter the capital? Isn't it because Sima Yuanxian has lost our control and wants to follow Did he invade? And at that time, we no longer had an army that we could control by ourselves, and even the weapons and supplies were lost in the Tianshi Dao Rebellion. If you really want to blame, just blame Xi Chao, yes He made us so powerless and weak that from then on we could only rely on various forces and try to use their strength to gain strength, which is what we are today."
Suzaku's teeth were chattering, but he couldn't say anything to deal with it.
Xuanwu cleared his throat: "Now that the matter has come to this, it is meaningless to trace the root cause and say angry words. Thinking about what to do in the future is the first thing. Don't think about the capital's industry, and don't think about it again. Keep the Jingba people out of the city, and how to make use of the dispute between Liu Yi and Liu Yu so that we can keep the power in the court, this is what we have to do!"
