"You!" The emperor's voice was stern.
Situ Yi said proudly: "Your Majesty, the royal family has trained thousands of masters, and there are also many masters in various armies."
“But limited by their martial arts skills, they are only top masters at best and have little fighting experience.
"In the world of martial arts, various aristocratic families, sects, even gangs, and even merchant families have cultivated their own forces."
"Similarly limited by martial arts, their strength varies from good to bad, but their numbers far exceed the imperial military power."
"The greater the number, the more masters. This is why the imperial court has always been afraid of Jianghu, and the late emperor continued to suppress Jianghu."
"But Jianghu people are not fools, especially the forces that have been inherited for a long time, and they will secretly cultivate forces."
"Taking our Situ family as an example, our Situ family has hundreds of years of foundation. The power of the entire family and its allies, in terms of experts, is not much worse than that of the Duanmu Royal Family."
"I mean the entire Duanmu royal family, not your majesty, your ninth percent."
"In today's world, there is no such thing as a martial arts leader, but if my Situ family posts a message, there are very few people in the world who would not give me face."
"Your Majesty, not to mention you, even when the late emperor was here, he wanted to see my father and he came out of the palace to meet me. We made an appointment."
"And when the late emperor first came to power, he even entered my Situ family incognito."
"Your ancestors also came to my Situ family incognito more than once to pay homage to my Situ family ancestors."
"Your Majesty, the late emperor allowed me to follow you because he wanted our Situ family to be used by the imperial court."
"With our Situ family by your side, most Jianghu people will restrain themselves."
"This plan has indeed come true. Today, everyone in the world regards our Situ family as members of the imperial court."
"Because of His Majesty's missteps, many old friends are wavering and do not want to follow His Majesty to the end that is destined to fail."
"But at this moment, we are still maintaining our relationship. We are waiting to continue to watch the situation develop and see if there are any changes."
"Your Majesty, you asked my father to come to see you. You are really not qualified."
"Your Majesty, if you want to use this palace to put me under house arrest, you are also not qualified."
"My meteorite sword is not a decoration."
"I don't dare to claim to be the best in the world, but with a Jiuzhi of inner energy and control of this sword, the place in the world that can trap me will definitely not include the imperial palace."
"Your Majesty, I don't know if when you were the prince, your tolerance and generosity and your indifference were forced on you because of fear.
"In short, since you came to the throne, you have become more and more narrow-minded and intolerant of others, and you will even vent your anger on others."
"If you are a top expert, then that's fine."
"But you are just an ordinary top expert. I really don't know where the confidence for your anger comes from?"
"You know, the emperor is just a title, just a position."
"What people fear is the emperor's own strength and the power he controls. If the emperor has no strength and no power, then no one will be afraid of the emperor."
"This is what I have said, so that your Majesty can take care of himself."
Situ Yi handed over his hands and turned around to leave, not afraid of the emperor's action at all, because the emperor could not do anything at all now.
The emperor was shaking with anger, but he gritted his teeth to avoid shouting and losing his temper.
After Situ Yi left, he called someone to find Zhang Ming.
…
Zhang Ming arrived quickly and respectfully asked for instructions.
The emperor said angrily: "Go and bring me the Situ family's information."
"ah?"
"Go quickly!"
"Your Majesty, which Situ family are you talking about?"
"Who else is of course the Situ family of Situ Yi!"
"Oh, if that's the case, Your Majesty, please move."
"Damn it, if I tell you to move, just move."
"yes."
Zhang Ming also discovered that there was a problem, but since the emperor had an order, he would send someone to move it.
Soon, a large group of people began to move boxes to the emperor's palace. They were all big boxes that could hold people.
The emperor also quickly realized something was wrong, "Zhang Ming, I asked you to move the Situ family's information, are you here with them?"
"Your Majesty, the Situ family has been inherited for hundreds of years and has always been a transcendent force in the world."
"The Situ family is divided into direct concubines and side branches, but the clan is not harsh on concubines and side branches, so the Situ family is quite united."
"For hundreds of years, members of the Situ family have made friends with countless Jianghu people and dignitaries. They have inextricably linked with numerous Jianghu sects, official families, and merchant families."
"Your Majesty wants to see the information about the Situ family. You can only sort it out clearly by reading it from the beginning."
"Otherwise, you will only be able to see through the lens and not be able to see everything."
The emperor gritted his teeth, "Okay, how many boxes are there in total?"
Zhang Ming cupped his hands and said, "In the Situ family, there are more than 1,500 people in the Situ family who have been documented. There are a total of thirty large boxes and more than a hundred small boxes."
"There are more than 3,000 important generals and families with documented records, a total of more than 100 large boxes and more than 300 small boxes."
"There are more than 60,000 family members who have good relations with the Situ family. The list alone contains more than a dozen large boxes."
"That's enough." Emperor Duanmu Yu felt like his head was spinning, "How is the Situ family's military strength?"
Zhang Ming handed over his hand, "The Situ family has more than 10,000 documented properties, involving all walks of life, and the total number of family members and servants exceeds 200,000."
"Two hundred thousand?" Emperor Duanmu Yu felt cold in his heart, "Is there anyone in the world who can compare with it?"
"Yes," Zhang Ming nodded, "In terms of size and number of people, there are at least thirty families with documented records, and some are even larger than the Situ Family."
The emperor laughed, "Thirty families? Six million people?"
Zhang Ming cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, this is just the number of people, not combat power, and it is not much. The recorded population of the entire world is around 200 million, and the actual population is probably around 300 million."
The emperor was curious, "How many people are under my rule?"
Zhang Ming cupped his hands and said: "According to the household registration, there are about 120 million people under your Majesty's rule, and the total number of mountain people and bandits from all over the country is at least 30 million."
The emperor nodded, "At least half of the population is still there."
"Your Majesty, I wonder if you know this and are you planning to deal with the Situ family?"
"What if so?"
Zhang Ming was startled, "I dare you, your Majesty, please stop thinking. The Situ family is famous all over the world, and everyone in the world now knows that the Situ family is your majesty's closest ministers. If your majesty deals with the Situ family, it will only make the world think that there is no one around you." ”
The emperor waved his hand, "I'm just saying, please withdraw all these things. I have learned a lot now that a wealthy family is actually involved in so many things."
Zhang Ming handed over his hand and said, "Your Majesty, although Jianghu people manage power, they are more about personal martial arts."
"Your Majesty should have heard that Miss Xue Fu was kidnapped and her whereabouts are still unknown. No matter how powerful the Situ family is, there is still no information about her."
The emperor suddenly felt a lot less pressure and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's really a pity for Xue Fu, the Jianghu people are really lawless."
Zhang Ming handed over his hand and said, "This is how things are in the world, so I dare to ask your majesty again if the affairs of the Immortal Sect really need to be released openly."
