"This will be a fruitless struggle, which is a complete way to death." Su Ziye looked at Liu Ru and said calmly: "Because it is obvious that no one can fight against a saint, unless you are also a saint yourself."
"Originally, the story should have ended at the very beginning. Yue Yi killed his favorite disciple and continued to maintain the order of the saints and shepherd the common people in the world."
"But the problem is, Yue Yi didn't choose to do this."
"Didn't you do this?" Liu Ru felt strange: "Then what did the saint do?"
"He didn't do anything." Su Ziye smiled and said: "During that period of time, Ye Ye College has been running very steadily. The annual three trials are still started, and the saint is still sitting on the Ye Tower. Everything seems to be unaffected, and it still looks calm and unruffled.”
"However, the other two saints also left the academy one after another during this period and began to continue their own paths, and the grand gathering of the three saints ceased to exist."
"And outside Ye Ye City, everything is changing rapidly in turbulent times."
"Ye Xuanyin organized the first batch of powerful troops with the students of Ye Ye College as the backbone, and began to try to actively conquer and unite the city-states scattered on this vast plain. During this period, Emperor Yuan Tai showed extremely high political skills. With the military level, through the vertical and horizontal alliances, he soon came close to unifying the land. Of course, because of this, he also left behind the fatal drawback of the Lan surname."
"Disadvantages?" Liu Ru was curious.
"Don't you know where the surname Lan came from?" Su Ziye said with a smile.
Liu Ru shook his head: "I don't know."
"The surname Lan is the master of the Lanye Empire. This is not a false statement, but this group of people ruled this land before the empire was established." Su Ziye looked at Liu Rujing and explained.
"The Lan surname is divided into six families. The first family is the descendant of Lan Ying, the founding marshal of the Lanye Empire. As for the second family, it is derived from the royal descendants of the most powerful city-state in this land. They accept I accepted the conditions proposed by Ye Xuanyin and took the initiative to join, but at the same time I cut the biggest piece of the cake in the future."
"As for the third family named Lan, they are the family of priests who have been responsible for worshiping ghosts and gods in this land for generations, while the fourth family belongs to the collection of royal families from small kingdoms who surrendered after seeing that the situation was over."
"The next fifth and sixth families are a little bit special. Among them, the fifth family named Lan belongs to a collection of meritorious officials who have made great achievements in the long process of founding the country and were given the surname Lan."
"As for the sixth family, it was almost the largest family at that time. They have a common name, which is the Knights of the Lanye Guards."
"The sixth family has one of the biggest characteristics, that is, their original members were all students of Ye Ye College. After the establishment of the Lanye Empire, one of the prerequisites for inheriting the position of the Knights is You must first pass three tests to become Ye Ye's student."
After Su Ziye said all this, he looked at Liu Ru: "After listening to this, how do you feel?"
"Emperor Yuan Tai integrated a group with the largest vested interests as his base." Liu Ru lowered his head and sighed.
Among the so-called six families with the surname Lan, there are military bosses, remnants of the previous dynasty, religious forces, and even more heroes and key supporters. This common surname has brought them unparalleled collective benefits, so that they finally had to Holding their noses and uniting under the banner of the Lanye Empire, they jointly safeguard the existence of this empire, because only in this way can their interests be maximized.
"But why is it a disadvantage?" Liu Ru couldn't help but ask.
It should be said that this was a very wise decision. After all, it was able to establish a very strong and stable alliance in the shortest time, and it was this alliance that created the future Lanye Empire.
"Because the power of the surname Lan is too great." Su Ziye smiled and said: "In the Lan Ye Empire, Lan is in front and Ye is behind. To this day, the power of the Lan Ye Emperor is still controlled by these Lan families. There are a lot of restrictions, not to mention that when it was first established, the composition of the Lan family was a mixed bag, and everyone had ulterior motives. After all, although there were absolute loyalists to the empire, the existence of political speculation and pursuit of interests undoubtedly occupied more In the past hundred years since the establishment of the Lanye Empire, the Lan surname has been encroaching on the power of the empire all the time, and has expanded its influence step by step. Today, there is even a trend of being too big to lose. If Lan Ye one day If the Ye Empire collapses, then the existence of the Lan surname must be the biggest internal bomb."
"But this is a bit far." Su Ziye looked at Liu Ru and continued: "In short, you only need to know that Ye Xuanyin, with his incomparable strength and superb methods, quickly made a difference with the tacit consent of Saint Yue Yi. After that, the city-states scattered around the three great lakes were almost unified, and a brand new empire was almost formed. Later, Ye Xuanyin also established the capital in Lanlan Holy City. The Lanye Empire was almost a fetus that was about to sprout, and no one had it. Probably suppressed.”
"But." Su Ziye said quietly.
"Everyone clearly understands that unless a problem is solved, the Lanye Empire will never be established."
"This problem is Ye Ye City, which is only 120 kilometers away from Lanlan Holy City."
"There is Ye Ye Academy in this city, and there is also a saint."
"But aren't they masters and disciples?" Liu Xi said subconsciously.
Are there any problems that cannot be solved by a good talk between master and disciple?
"If it could be solved through a chat, then Ye Xuanyin wouldn't have raised the flag of rebellion against his teacher." Su Ziye looked at Liu Ru and smiled and said, "Besides, if you were the Yue Yi Sage, would you How to do it?"
"I..." As soon as Liu Ru started to speak, she stopped talking.
If Liu Ru were that saint, facing this traitor who deceived his master and destroyed his ancestors, she might have reached out and killed him immediately.
Where will the troubles come from?
"Why can't Saint Yue Yi give up his idea?" Liu Xi said subconsciously.
Even if this proves that everything he did before was wrong, at least he won't end up with such a tragic result.
"Because the saints didn't understand what kind of restrictions this world would impose on them." Su Ziye sighed and said: "The first person to become a saint was Xia, but after he became a saint, he was disheartened and only let His wife ended the Hundred Kings Rebellion, and he almost disappeared from the world, and Yue Yi was the first person to use the Ten Heavenly Punishments to mark the entire history of mankind, naming it the Terror of the Saint Era. exist."
"It's just that at the beginning, Yue Yi didn't know what it meant."
"And now, he understands."
"This era is his destiny and life."
"Once his time ends, so will his life."
"This is what has been recognized and recognized by everyone after the end of the saints' era."
"A saint does not interfere in the world."
"Once you interfere, you will pay a price more painful than your life."
