Black Clothes Alley, the mafia headquarters.
The four guards, wearing masks, were sitting around the round table. In the hall, the fire was blazing, reflecting the iron plaque hanging in the hall, with the four characters "Black Hand Qiankun" written on it, particularly dazzling.
Bai Hu looked coldly at Xuanwu who was sitting in the north: "Master Xuanwu, since when did you start not being able to take care of even a little girl in your family?"
Xuanwu said calmly: "The most difficult thing to grasp in this world is the human heart. Since I can't make you three keep your promise, it is natural for me to respect Miaoyin's decision. However, I originally thought that she would refuse directly, but I didn't expect that she would
It will be done this way."
Zhuque sneered and said: "She is braver than your daughter. I think she has learned the Wang family's family tradition of being willing to bend rather than bend. Wang Xianzhi burned himself to death with mugwort in order to refuse marriage. Wang Huizhi became a monk directly after Xie Daoyun remarried someone else.
As a monk, given these examples, you should have made plans in advance."
Qinglong said calmly: "You may have underestimated Mr. Xuanwu. In my opinion, this has been his plan for a long time. He knows Wang Miaoyin's personality well and knows that asking her to end her love for Liu Yu and remarry someone else is forcing her to
Either she commits suicide or becomes a monk, no matter which choice she chooses, she will eliminate the idea of us using Wang Miaoyin to remarry. Xuanwu, Xuanwu, I consider myself ruthless, but if I compare to you in being ruthless, I'm still a little worse."
A cold light flashed in Xuanwu's eyes: "Qinglong, I'm not you, and I won't have so many shady tricks. The last time I proposed marrying Wang Miaoyin to the royal family, it was you who opposed it with all your strength. This time I should
It's not like you used any other means."
Qinglong laughed: "What I object to is not Miaoyin becoming the queen, but your Xie family taking this opportunity to get in touch with the emperor again and use the emperor's power to deal with us. This time your idea finally came true, Sima Dao Zikong
There is an official who records the affairs of the Shangshu and the governor of Yangzhou, but the Beifu army is in the hands of Xie Xuan, the Shangshu is in the hands of Xie Shi, and the general of the auxiliary country in the capital is your son Xie Yan, which means that the military and political power is still in the hands of your Xie family.
This has come full circle, and it's back again. Except for you, Mr. Xuanwu, being dismissed and returning home, manipulating everything behind the scenes, there is nothing different from before."
Bai Hu said coldly: "Xuanwu, I thought that all parties involved in the last agreement could abide by it, but I didn't expect that you are still playing tricks on us. This is not good. Do you want the three of us to target you again?"
Xuanwu sneered and said: "You don't even think about it, Miaoyin refused to marry into the royal family, why the emperor instead reserved official positions and military power for our Xie family."
Suzaku said thoughtfully: "You mean, this is the emperor's plan to alienate each other, and he wants us to fight among ourselves?"
Xuanwu nodded: "It's not that there are talented people around the emperor. Fan Ning and Wang Ya are not easy-going people. I heard that these days, Fan Ning is with the emperor every day, making suggestions. They probably also see that the power at this time
The struggle will be fierce, and getting involved rashly will expose your own strength in advance, so I would rather give these to my Xie family, thinking that we can sincerely contribute to the emperor and fight with other big families, so that they can reap the benefits."
A trace of doubt flashed in Qinglong's eyes: "Fan Ning, how can he, a Confucian scholar, have such ability? Nowadays, in the world of metaphysics, not many people study Confucian classics. And the Fan family has been studying Confucianism for generations and has little contact with big aristocratic families.
It's easy to deal with him. Moreover, he is Wang Guobao's uncle, so he should be helping his nephew."
Xuanwu sneered and said: "I'm still Wang Guobao's father-in-law, isn't it also the case? Fan Ning has never participated in various political struggles. He doesn't seem to be a threat, but maybe we all underestimated him. Sima Yao has no ability, he can only
It was his idea, and it seems that he wanted to take advantage of our internal strife to expel the metaphysicians out, and then let in those who believe in Confucian classics."
Qinglong's eyes were bright and he looked straight at Xuanwu: "Your Xie family used to be a Confucian classics family. Later, you turned from Confucian classics to Xuanwu in order to become an official. You won't change to Confucian classics this time, right?"
Xuanwu curled up his lips: "Qinglong, we all know that if we want to maintain the family and the world, we must take control of metaphysics. Only in this way can our status be not weaker than that of the emperor. If we talk about classics, Confucianism, and the divine right of kings, we must obey orders."
What power does this emperor have? Now that our Xie family has tasted the benefits of metaphysics, we will not give up like this."
Qinglong said coldly: "In that case, Fan Ning will be left to you to deal with it. What can you do?"
Xuanwu turned to look at Bai Hu and Suzaku: "Is this what you mean too?"
Bai Hu nodded: "Yes, the Shangshu Ling is still in the hands of your Xie family, and the same goes for the Beifu Army. If you don't handle this matter, why do you still ask us to come forward? If you want to gain our trust and prove that the emperor and you are not on the same side, then
Get rid of Fan Ning first. Without Fan Ning by the emperor's side, Sima Yao can't do any tricks on his own."
Suzaku also said in a deep voice: "Master Xuanwu, I also agree with what Qinglong and Baihu said. You have to make us feel at ease. What we lack most now is trust."
Xuanwu raised his eyebrows: "Forget it, I don't want Fan Ning to use this to promote his Confucian theory, which requires people to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country. If everyone is loyal to the emperor, then what are we doing? It's easy to deal with him, but we shouldn't.
It’s me, but Wang Guobao who will do this.”
Qinglong's eyes flashed coldly: "Wang Guobao's vision is not that far-sighted. He will not deal with his uncle without reason. Xuanwu, if you want to use his strength to fight, it won't be that easy. Fan Ning is not with Wang Guobao now."
Make grudges."
Xuanwu smiled slightly: "Why are there no grudges? We can tell Wang Guobao that the reason why our Xie family still controls power is Fan Ning's advice, so King Kuaiji only got a false position without benefit. King Kuaiji has no real power, then he
Naturally, Wang Guobao doesn’t have either.”
Bai Hu sneered: "You have a way to make Wang Guobao believe this? Xuanwu, I'm afraid he won't even believe a word of what you say now."
Xuanwu shook his head: "It's about interests, so he can't believe it. I can find Wang Guobao and tell him that it's not me, Xie An, who doesn't want to resign, it's not me, the Xie family's children, who are greedy for power, but it's Fan Ning who is beside the emperor and advises him,
He is said to have evil intentions and is surrounded by villains, so power cannot be given to him. If he doesn't believe it, he can ask his accomplices to write a letter to build momentum among the government and the public and recommend Wang Guobao to take over the power. Let's see what Fan Ning says then.
If Fan Ning stops it, then Wang Guobao will definitely hold a grudge and revenge will be inevitable."
