"What did you say?"
Zhuge Qingming didn't seem to expect that he would get such a baffling answer after waiting for a long time.
To avoid mishearing, he repeated it.
"An alliance?"
"Yes, alliance."
Li Yi gave him a confirming look.
In Li Yi's view, Zhuge Qingming's next move was strange.
He looked at him intently for a long time, finally sighed for some reason, drank all the wine in the glass, and finally spoke.
"What makes you think I will ally with you?"
"oh?"
Li Yi was slightly surprised.
"I thought you didn't understand!"
"What are you talking about? Wouldn't I understand something as simple as forming an alliance with you or forming an alliance with the Sulota family?"
Zhuge Qingming felt that he was underestimated.
He is a unique person!
As long as you become a traitor, no matter what the trait is, your intelligence will be greatly improved, and the same will be true for your physical strength, unlike...
Right, why didn’t this guy take this step?
Zhuge Qingming thought of this instantly. This was actually one of the reasons why he looked at Li Yi with suspicion before.
This made him think of a possibility, and even doubted whether those who didn't take action and just waited and watched knew something.
Looking at it now, it is indeed very possible!
This made Zhuge Qingming, who was initially not paying much attention, look serious.
If there is any news outside that the royal family does not know, then they will be very passive.
Don't think that today's Flotte Dynasty is still the powerful dynasty that conquered the world with force.
In today's world, although the Zhuge family still dominates the world, it does not mean that the Zhuge family is the master of this continent.
In other words, he is not the only owner.
Those wealthy and powerful nobles, as well as those unknown but ubiquitous aristocratic families, are the common masters of this world.
This is actually a rule set by the founding ancestors of the country.
Perhaps it seemed reasonable at the time.
After all, in the process of conquering the world, the nobles contributed a lot, and some could even be regarded as providing help in times of need!
It is normal for the ancestors of the kingdom to feel grateful for this.
But as time went by, the contradiction between the royal family and the aristocratic class gradually emerged.
And since a certain king finally discovered an indisputable fact, the royal family's attitude towards the noble family has quietly changed.
This fact cannot be explained in a simple space. A brief summary can probably be said as follows:
The reason why we elected you to take charge of everything is so that you can seek more benefits for us, not so that you can oppose us!
Well, that's probably what it means.
So starting from that king, the rift between the nobles and the royal family, which were originally as close as a family, gradually began to widen.
The changes in the palace of a certain royal family gradually moved this contradiction from the dark to the open.
This matter is not too far away from now.
This is exactly what happened when this king, Zhuge Qingming’s father, succeeded to the throne!
As a prince, he naturally knew exactly what the nobles did back then.
After all, the person involved is the only one whose father is still alive.
So as soon as Li Yi said those words, the Crown Prince immediately understood his intention.
Alliance? Do not make jokes.
Don’t you know that you nobles are the biggest obstacle to our Zhuge family’s true unification of the world?
As for the Allies? It's so easy to dismantle them!
Even though those bastards are so fierce, they can be easily settled with just a few tricks.
The reason for not doing this is because the current king Zhuge Tianming also has a plan to kill people with a borrowed knife.
Since these people are against the rule of the kingdom, is it normal for the nobles, as the ruling class, to come out to fight against these people at this time?
After all, you are the beneficiaries. It is impossible for you to enjoy it. If there is a problem, it will be my royal family who will resist, right?
And if these people want to fight from such a far away place to the Red Capital, aren't they allowed to pass through your territory?
Do you want your own interests not to be harmed? Simple! Just beat them back.
This is the fundamental reason why the Allied forces are becoming increasingly powerful, but the strongest Royal Army has never made any move.
Zhuge Tianming wanted to use these rebels to consume the power of the aristocratic class so as to help him clear obstacles!
So Zhuge Qingming understood the alliance Li Yi said to mean his own alliance with the royal family.
As for why it's not the Sulota family.
That's pretty simple too.
As vested interests, the Zulota family obviously will not give up the interests they have obtained.
But this Jace Zulota is possible!
Because as the first person to naturally awaken multiple spiritual attributes in hundreds of years, he will naturally be rejected by those with the power of God.
Back then, it was said that people with these spiritual characteristics were born because there was a group of humans who believed that gods were not beings with good intentions toward humans.
They believe that the gods are evil and the reason why they help humans build such a continent is just to open up a "pasture" for themselves.
As for what is grazing, the answer is self-evident.
This has never been mentioned in history. It is a hidden history, but it is not unknown.
Since this is not conducive to dynastic rule, only a few people know this secret, including a few people from aristocratic families and royal families that have been passed down to this day.
Of course, every king must know this secret history.
As for Zhuge Qingming, he was originally the appointed prince.
No matter how unbearable he is in the impression of outsiders, his father Zhuge Tianming seems to be determined to let him inherit the throne.
Even though Zhuge Qingming tried his best to expand his "reputation", he still remained unmoved.
To be honest, this operation is really hard to understand.
To say that Zhuge Tianming is mediocre is definitely not the case.
To be able to survive the changes in your palace and successfully inherit the throne, if you say that you are not outstanding, you would be lying.
You must know that even the most stupid and incompetent king in the history of the Flotte Dynasty, the king who once set the record of why not eat minced meat, was known for his high talent when he was young.
So don’t think that just by looking at the history books, becoming emperor depends entirely on your fate.
As long as there are many emperor's descendants who can fight their way out of the tight siege, no one is a simple person.
The reason why we see many fatuous emperors in the history of later generations is just because they acted recklessly after becoming emperors and wielding power.
There are hundreds of emperors in thousands of years of history, and there may be one or two emperors who are indeed unreliable, and can even be said to be stupid.
But that's just a very rare existence.
It would be really stupid to treat this as an ordinary case.
Stop talking and get down to business.
It is naturally impossible for Li Yi to know these secrets.
The reason why he proposed to form an alliance with Zhuge Qingming, who was the representative of the royal family, was just because he saw the rift between the royal family and the aristocracy.
Or grudges.
After all, he came out of Fran Town, the Allied Forces base camp.
Through the communication with the military adviser, although he did not say it explicitly, he was convinced that the Allied Forces did not want to directly confront the Royal Army, which was known as the best in the world.
It’s not that I quit, it’s that if I don’t want to, the gains outweigh the losses.
And he could also see that the Allied Forces had been established for several years.
In this situation where the opponent's momentum is getting bigger and bigger, the Royal Army still has no intention of looking for a chance to decide the outcome. Instead, it has been talking about looking for a fighter plane, but Lai Zaihong, who has been dawdling, cannot move. It is called defending the capital.
Isn't this obvious enough?
This is to consume the vitality of the nobles and at the same time consume the power of the allies!
The royal family is simply happy to see this lose-lose situation happen!
Therefore, in fact, Li Yi had already concluded.
As long as you put it forward, the other party will agree to the alliance proposal without hesitation.
"Okay, since we are allies now, it should be possible to share some information as allies, right?"
Zhuge Qingming was about to take a sip of wine when he almost choked on Li Yi's words.
"you mean......"
Subconsciously he opened his mouth and looked up, and Zhuge Qingming saw Li Yi's face with a mysterious smile.
