After the King of Chu! ?
Hearing Xu Wen say these words calmly, the Wenyuan Pavilion instantly became silent.
Cui Zhen, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, quickly glanced outside the door, and then quickly closed the door.
Xu Wen shook his head and said:
"It doesn't matter, the people on duty in Wenyuan Pavilion are all sons of aristocratic families."
Cui Zhen took a deep breath and whispered:
"Mr. Ge, this...this...Bohai country is a barbarian foreign country. Could it be..."
To be able to become the Minister of the Six Books, he is naturally a human being. Cui Zhen instantly understood what Xu Wen meant.
Need to borrow troops!
Xu Wen took another sip of tea and said with a smile:
"The Central Plains are within the reach of Wanghua. When Emperor Ling came to the throne, the leader of the Bohai Kingdom had been serving as a hostage in the capital for a long time. He admired and admired our country greatly. After he returned to the Bohai Kingdom and succeeded to the throne, he promoted the Wanghua in Bohai. , now the Bohai country is called 'Xiaowu', how can it be called a barbarian? Mr. Cui is deeply prejudiced."
Sun Wei, the cabinet scholar, shook his head and said:
"Master Chief Assistant... It's inappropriate. Let's not talk about whether the king of Chu is a benevolent king or not. Just borrowing the wolf soldiers from the Bohai Kingdom to serve the king is not enough. That Enhai controls the thirty-six guards of the Imperial Guard, more than 100,000 elite soldiers. , not to mention the soldiers of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion. Although the Bohai wolf soldiers are brave, they are far away and difficult to defeat."
Xu Wen put down the teapot in his hand and said:
"What Mr. Sun said is absolutely true. The Bohai Kingdom's 100,000 wolf soldiers are far away, and it is difficult to defeat the guards of the Zhijun Army. However, what if we add the 60,000 soldiers of Yancha Road?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present took a deep breath, and then their eyes showed excitement.
Xu Wen continued:
"Captain Han of the Right Army Governor's Mansion has met this generation of Chu kings and said that he is indeed a wise ruler. He is a wise ruler who should be fully recommended by our family."
As soon as this statement came out, even Sun Wei, who had objected just now, became excited.
Originally, the Great Wu Kingdom had five military governors' offices, which controlled the world's military forces, including the central military governor's office, the former military governor's office, the rear military governor's office, the left army military governor's office, and the right army military governor's office, which was equivalent to the five major war zones in the country.
However, after the Rebellion of Emperor Ling, various places were guarded by Jiedu envoys, which turned into a separatist system of vassal towns. The only areas that the imperial court could control were Gyeonggi Road, Hedong Road, and Yancha Road.
Among them, Hedong Road also has the Hedong Jiedu Envoy, commanding 20,000 elite soldiers.
The Five Army Governor's Office, which was originally in charge of the world's troops, mostly had only a few guard posts under its command. At this time, only the Right Army Governor's Office still had the elite soldiers of the Sixteenth Guard, most of which were stationed at Yancha Road.
Han Renlong, the commander-in-chief of the right army and the commander-in-chief of the left army, is also the one with the greatest military power among the commanders-in-chief of the five armies.
It's just that this Korean dragon was born in a poor family, and has not been very close to the Dongzhu Party, which is composed of aristocratic families in the court. Instead, he has a closer relationship to the Eunuch Party.
Xu Wen actually got him?
Sun Wei frowned and said:
"Mr. Tongda, that Han Renlong comes from a poor family after all. Compared with me and other nine surnames and ten clans, he is really... unworthy of recognition. Do we really want to use this person?"
The ten most powerful families among the Wu Kingdom clans, and the worst ones are also the wealthy families that have been passed down for several dynasties. They have survived for hundreds or even thousands of years and are known as the Nine Surnames and Ten Clan.
The weakest among them is the Sun family in Hedong, where Sun Wei was born. There were only thirty-nine prime ministers and generals, fifty-two ministers, forty-three ministers, and one hundred and eighty-nine governors. Seventy-six princes-in-law, as for officials of seventh rank and above, there are thousands.
Even though the clan was somewhat damaged in the war after the Lingdi Rebellion, there were still a large number of members of the Sun family serving in the court and in the offices of Jiedushi envoys in various places, especially in Hedong Road and Hedong Jiedushi. , his surname is Sun.
The Lanling Xu family, descended from Xu Wen, the chief minister of the cabinet, is even more remarkable, and can even be traced back to thousands of years ago.
No matter how wars broke out after Emperor Ling, there were still a large number of aristocratic families in the imperial court and among the top generals in the local armies.
As for Han Renlong, who came from a poor family, his ancestors only followed Li Chenggang, the founding emperor of the Wu Kingdom, to conquer the country and served as a general of the Zhu Kingdom. He had long since declined, and his population was not prosperous.
There is no comparison with their nine and ten surnames.
It's not a one-dimensional existence at all.
Xu Wen shook his head and said slowly:
"In today's world, it is not the time for even aristocratic families such as ours to be proud. As long as we can wipe out the eunuchs and establish a new emperor, it doesn't matter if we give Han Renlong a birthright. In the worst case, we will have ten surnames in the world."
Having said this, Xu Wen looked at everyone present and said quietly:
"Everyone, the world has a common master, the nine surnames stand together, the emperor never leaves the palace, so that the world only knows the nine surnames but not the emperor, isn't it wonderful?"
As soon as this beautiful vision was spoken, the eyes of everyone present suddenly lit up.
After Li Chenggang established the Wu Kingdom, in order to prevent the nine surnames and ten clans from growing bigger, he specifically ordered that no intermarriage be allowed among the nine surnames. It was not until the Chengzu Dynasty that the regulations became even stricter.
However, in the past ten years after the Ling Emperor Rebellion, this order has become in vain. A large number of intermarriages and interest binding have begun among the nine surnames and ten clans, so the nine surnames and ten clans have become completely integrated.
The Dongzhu Party is just a small shell of the nine surnames and ten clans in the court.
Passed down for hundreds of years and thousands of years, these aristocratic families didn't even pay attention to the Li family of the Wu Dynasty.
Xu Wen's idea at this time was that the nine surnames and ten clans would directly control the government and the emperor, treating the emperor as a decoration or a mascot. All major issues in the world would be decided by the nine surnames and ten clans!
How could this keep them from being tempted!
Sun Wei thought for a moment and then said:
"Mr. Tongda, it's easy to say that there are more than 100,000 elite soldiers in the bodyguard army, but that Enhai and the secret supervisors under him are extremely skilled, so it will not be easy to get rid of them."
He is a top master, and he has a direct subordinate stick beside him. In addition, he has hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in the bodyguard. This is Enhai's biggest support.
If it were so easy to solve, Enhai would have fallen long ago.
Cai Huazhang, who was serving the imperial wine ceremony at the side, smiled and said:
"If this is the case, you can rest assured. The martial arts alliance is coming soon. The Qiyue Sanjiang martial arts sect wants to imitate the Chengzu Dynasty martial arts alliance and establish a new alliance. The masters of Yueshan Sword Village and Langshan Sect They are all members of aristocratic families, and they are all at my disposal. I only need to let Cai Jiansheng, the owner of Yueshan Sword Village, take the position of leader, and there is no need to worry about the favor... Of course, all of this still depends on Duke Tongda's planning."
After hearing this, everyone was overjoyed and at the same time awe-inspiring.
Unexpectedly, Xu Wen, who usually seems to be just like Guang Guang and indifferent to everything, has already made such a plan!
Once he takes action, he will dethrone the emperor and seize the country with ruthlessness!
At that moment, everyone paid tribute to Xu Wen and praised him. The dullness in Wenyuan Pavilion was gone and it became lively.
Xu Wen stroked his beard and sat upright suddenly. The old and decrepit aura in his body instantly dissipated, replaced by a solemn aura, and said:
"My lords, our Xu family cannot handle this matter alone. I hope you all can work together and share the same hatred of the enemy. In this way, great things can be accomplished. Don't be stingy when the day comes for the private soldiers raised by your family."
"Yes, yes!"
"It all depends on Tongda Gong's planning!"
"As long as the chief minister gives an order, it will be time to eradicate the eunuchs and clean up the world!"
Xu Wen nodded with a smile and sat back down, regaining his gentle and harmonious appearance.
…
After returning from Kangning Palace last night, Li Yun went straight to sleep and didn't get up until three o'clock in the morning.
The harvest from this trip was not small, especially the detailed information about the three thousand dead soldiers and the existence of the immortal cultivator.
I believe that the Queen Mother will restrain herself for the time being and stay dormant for a while.
At the same time, he also actually fought against the innate warriors and evaluated his current combat power.
At present, it seems that with full strength, it should be able to suppress innate masters, and it is hard to say whether it will be a real-life master.
In addition, you should find a handy weapon as soon as possible. Using the imperfect palm thunder to catch the sword energy with your bare hands will not hurt your hands, but it will really hurt your hands.
You still have to have your own power... Seeing the elite soldiers and generals under Empress Dowager Dong, my mouth watered with greed.
After getting up, Li Yun opened the door of the inner study room, fed Wen Xiaoxiao and Lu Linglan breakfast, told them to hide, called an internal prison guard to go in and tidy up, and immediately asked Gou Zhong to call Zhao Huichun.
If you want to cultivate power, you must use both kindness and power, and it is best to cultivate the masters yourself.
Among the miscellaneous items on the Haotian Kung Fu Jade Slip, there are also some common human medicines, which can be refined to buy people's hearts and train their subordinates.
Still need to make an elixir!
