Chapter 142 The Future of Empire Split(1/2)
In Zhao Xin's opinion, Balliard's magic to change his body is just an illusion. Since Balliard's magic can transform himself into Jiang Yan, then it can turn Jiang Yan into the person she grew up with.
It shouldn't be difficult at all.
Although this kind of strange and obscene technique is not valued by others, it is quite useful when it is really needed.
"Brother Xiake? I heard that Brother Xiake has formed an organization recently. Maybe you can go there and find out."
Jiang Yan already knew that the inn in the city was an intelligence station, and her subordinates had received various intelligences, including the information that Balliard had established an organization with several people.
If you want to say where the intelligence came from, it was naturally leaked from within. The organization established by Balliard had just been established, and the most lacking thing was manpower. If a spy got in at this time, it would be difficult for Balliard to investigate.
Because what Balliard wants is to collect intelligence, he doesn't care how many people from other forces there are in this organization. Anyway, the core group of people, after knowing about Salvation, it is impossible not to be loyal to him.
"What organization? What does that dishonest thing want to do?"
Xin Zhao's prejudice against Balliard has not changed in several years. His intuition tells him that Balliard is not a good person.
"Don't talk about Brother Xia Ke like that. Maybe you have some good ideas? Brother Xia Ke is born with Taoism."
Jiang Yan acted like a little girl and asked Xin Zhao to make up his mind to add some trouble to Valliard. As a minister, Xin Zhao could not sit back and watch his lord be deceived by a thief.
"I will do it now."
After saying this, Zhao Xin left the Marquis Mansion and walked into the military camp outside the city. It has been a troubled time recently. The traitor died, the Marquis of Kaiyang died, and Qingliu's leader was seriously ill.
At this time, both the Qingliu and the traitor parties were caught in the quagmire of fighting for power internally. Only the royalist party had a new leader-Kada Jin. It can be said that the current court is already the court of Kada Jin.
Done.
Although the current Prime Minister and Assistant Prime Minister are still traitors and Qingliu people, whether their memorials can take effect depends on Jin's wishes. At the same time, the young emperor Kaiyin also has some real power.
This is what Xin Zhao is most worried about. Jhin has not given all the power to Kayn. The traitor has another reason, saying that the emperor is young and needs his assistance.
But what reason did Kain have for not returning power to the emperor? The emperor was no longer young, in his twenties. Many emperors in history did not have many years to live at this time.
The most important thing is that even if Jhin does not return power to Kayn, he still becomes the leader of the royalist party. This makes Xin Zhao worried about the purity of the royalist party. Is it really the emperor who they are loyal to?
"We must be careful of the princes everywhere."
Xin Zhao is loyal to Marquis Kaiyang, and Marquis Kaiyang is loyal to the empire, so he wants to protect this country and maintain the stability of this country. Although there is a relationship with heaven, the royal family of the Deno Empire has never changed, but as long as there is a little bit of royal blood,
Enough to avoid punishment in heaven.
Thousands of years have passed, who's family doesn't have a little bit of royal blood? It can be said that everyone in the entire empire is a descendant of the founding emperor of the Deno Empire.
This means that if a prince rebels at this time, successfully ascends to the throne, and changes dynasties, the heaven will not care.
At the same time, the three faceless people in the organization were discussing a major matter.
"Do you have any ideas?"
The fox looked down at Jackal and Faceless with a gloomy expression.
"what idea?"
The jackal couldn't understand what the fox said. There was no hint, no opening remarks, just "Do you have any ideas?" The jackal couldn't understand this.
"It's probably... related to the throne,"
Wu Mian is more experienced than Jackal in this regard. The intelligence collected by the organization contains a lot of information about how princes from various places can win over people's hearts. At first glance, this seems reasonable, because in one's own kingdom, one must win the hearts and minds of the people.
However, some princes were too ambitious, large enough to form several of their current organizations.
"Yes...the princes have the idea of revolt. Do you have any ideas?"
The fox's face turned darker, and the jackal had nothing to say. It was normal for a young killer to have no experience, but it was different if he had no face. She knew the meaning behind it, but she didn't tell him.
He only received the information that was supposed to be delivered to him a week ago today. He did not doubt Wufang Salva's loyalty to the organization, but her behavior made him very unhappy.
"I knew you would be like this. Although you are a scholar, the court does not use you. Why should you be angry with the current court? After the dynasty changes, you may still be reused."
Wu Mian sighed. The fox is a scholar, a killer who kills people with his literary skills, but he is a scholar who is loyal to the emperor and serves the country. The princes from all over the country are secretly planning rebellions. If it gets into the ears of the fox, it will definitely make the fox angry.
burn.
"I don't care who can sit on the throne. In my eyes, only the Deno Empire is worthy of ruling this continent. Since His Majesty came to the throne, although the government has been controlled by traitors, the people in various parts of the empire are not in dire straits.
Even if a traitor wants to covet money and treasures, he will still make the people live happily. If you cut leeks, the leeks will grow. If the vassal states rebel, there will be chaos. Maybe the empire will not be unified for hundreds of years.
That day.”
The fox's intelligence is indeed superior. His inability to become a transcendent person has nothing to do with his intelligence.
Moreover, most of the extraordinary men of literature and art are not as intelligent and strategic as him. He cannot become an extraordinary person just because he has a knot in his mind, that is, to become an official in the court.
"how you said that?"
Faceless is also a bit sluggish. Although a unified empire poses a great threat to the concealment of intelligence agencies, under a unified empire, more intelligence can be collected and more resources can be saved.
If the empire is divided into countless kingdoms, then in order to establish intelligence agencies in each kingdom, first of all, there must be local people with local accents. Otherwise, if the label of "enemy spy" is removed, there will be no intelligence collected.
"There are internal and external troubles."
The fox sighed and frowned in thought.
"If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you so bored?"
The jackal can't wait any longer. The most important thing for a swordsman is to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country. Isn't the reason why he worships Qisha is because Qisha killed the rebels in Qinghe Camp with one sword? Although now he knows that the people in Qinghe Camp are not rebels.
Already.
"The Marquis of Kaiyang is dead, and the traitor is also dead. The old man who was able to survive under the traitor for so many years is about to leave. Are there anyone left in the empire who can support an empire?
I don't know who the jester of Kadar Jhin is, but as the leader of the royalist party, he holds great power, and neither the traitors nor the Qingliu will give up.
The empire will face division, and half of the reasons are due to him. He is the emperor's confidant, the emperor's only confidant. Jian is in the emperor's heart, and no one can make his status in the emperor's heart decline, which means that,
No one can deprive the emperor of his trust. If nothing happens, the government will be maintained by the royalists for at least ten years. The ideal of the Holy Emperor ruling from the ground up will be almost impossible to realize in this generation. Therefore, they will think
Rebellion.”
Fox is also a royalist. Because of this, he cannot enter the court as an official. Now, although the traitor is dead and the government is in the hands of the royalists, he is not a subordinate of Kadar Jin, and he is not famous.
How could he be used?
"But once there is a rebellion, can Kadar Jhin, who is currently the pillar of the empire, be able to suppress the rebellion on his own? The traitors and the Qingliu literati support the rebel princes. The royalists are already small in number, and Jhin has ulterior motives. The rebellion
It cannot be suppressed in a short time.
Failure to suppress the rebellion will arouse the ambitions of more princes, and the empire will not be far from collapse."
"What does this have to do with the empire not being able to be reunited again?"
Faceless is still worried about the development and establishment of the organization's intelligence agency. When the organization was first established, there was already a lack of resources. If it fell into war, the empire would not be able to unify. With their strength, the wealth obtained from the war would be far less than what they gained from the war.
The cost of building branches for all kingdoms.
"There is a lack of talent! The strength of the royalist party is not as good as that of either the traitor party or Qingliu. There is even a huge gap. However, the government is still controlled by the royalist party. The reason is that, in addition to the emperor's trust, it is not that there are not enough outstanding talents to integrate
Qingliu and traitors?
At present, the traitor party is in chaos. Although Qingliu is not so obvious because the assistant minister is not dead yet, there are several factions. Do the traitor party and the assistant minister not care about the cultivation of successors? If there is an heir, what will happen within the traitor party and Qingliu?
Is it still so chaotic right now?
However, they did not find enough talents as successors, and they did not find talents who could suppress everyone. Therefore, even if they appointed their own successors, they still could not convince the public.
Therefore, when the princes rebel under the instigation of traitors and Qingliu, the traitors and Qingliu will be divided into different factions because of the princes they support and their own ideas. However, even if these people are divided into countless factions, they are enough to support a kingdom.
.
It will not be easy for other kingdoms to win over this kingdom. Once the war lasts for a long time, the people in the territory will get used to the current court. As long as the princes treat the people well, the Deno Empire will no longer be in the hearts of the people, and the foundation for unification will be
disappear slowly."
There was gradually mist in the fox's eyes. The Deno Empire, which had been unified for three thousand years, might not be able to be reunited once it was divided. This was the incompetence of the literati of their time.
The thoughts of the literati cannot be unified. No one can integrate the thoughts of all the literati. If no one can make all the literati follow him willingly, and the ideological battles of the literati turn into wars and wars among the princes, how can the empire still be unified?
"So, we can't let the empire split? Do we want to go back to the old business?"
Wu Mian's proposal made the fox ready to take action. Not all of those princes were as strong as Kaiyang Hou, and assassination was feasible.
"There is no way to save the day - the source of the rebellion of the princes is the factional struggle of the literati. No matter how many princes we assassinate, to the literati, it is just a replacement of the person who carries the banner.
The source of the factional struggle among literati lies in their different schools of thought. These literati can also be assassinated, and it is easy, but how can we erase those thoughts that have been written into books?"
The fox wiped the tears from his eyes. Even if he knew that the country would eventually be divided, he would try his best to save it.
"However, no matter whether we can stop the coming rebellion or not, we must try our best, even if we can only delay it. If His Majesty has unparalleled talents and talents, the empire may not be unable to regain stability in His Majesty's hands, but His Majesty has no power in his hands.
"
"Are you going to kill Kadar Jhin?"
There was bloodthirsty look in the jackal's eyes. Ever since he knew that Qisha was deceived by the scholar and killed the loyal soldiers on the side of Qingjun, he was very dissatisfied with the scholar.
Kadar Jhin is
In his eyes, he is also a sanctimonious and high-sounding despicable villain. If he wants to deal with such a villain, Qisha will be satisfied.
"Don't act without authorization. This Kada Jhin is not simple."
It’s not that the fox has never thought about getting rid of Kadar Jhin and allowing the emperor to take control of the power. However, once Kadar Jhin dies, the emperor, as the biggest benefit recipient, will inevitably be jealous of countless literati. How can the emperor assassinate his ministers?
