Qinglong's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Xuanwu, you are exaggerating. Tianshi Tao is just some magic sticks who pretend to be gods and ghosts. They want to get close to the upper class, climb up dragons and phoenixes, so that they can open dojos everywhere, recruit disciples, and make some money.
That's all. It's impossible to say that you have any rebellious intentions. Don't think that they really wanted to seize power during the Jingkou Luxu incident more than ten years ago. I was just instigating them to scare the emperor."
Xuanwu said coldly: "The human heart is the most difficult thing to grasp and predict in the world. Don't think that you can completely grasp the human heart and see through the human heart. Especially these cultists, what they want may not be human beings.
Worldly glory and wealth.”
Suzaku nodded: "What you said all makes sense, but I think Sun Tai and his son are obsessed with clinging to the King of Kuaiji and refining various aphrodisiacs for him all day long. They don't even care about academic affairs. What they are greedy for is money.
It's not power, I'm sure of this. An ambitious person won't hang out with such villains all day long and lose his ambition."
Xuanwu sighed: "It would be easier if Sun Tai and his son were like this. We have always regarded people from Tianshi Dao as this, but we have ignored the changes in Tianshi Dao now. Just like the Beifu Army, it is new.
Just like the power, Tianshi Dao will undergo huge changes quietly, even more dangerous and uncontrollable than Liu Yu."
Bai Hu said thoughtfully: "Xuanwu is right. Lu Xun and Xu Daofu are both descendants of aristocratic families, especially Lu Xun, who is a descendant of the Lu family, a powerful family in the north. He may not always be willing to be a magic stick.
We can’t take the Celestial Master’s way too lightly.”
Qinglong waved his hand: "Tianshi Dao can still be controlled now. They even want to make friends with Huan Xuan and seek his protection. As long as we take care of Sun Tai, there will be no trouble. Xuanwu, you don't have to
Change the subject, we are talking about your intention to dedicate the Beifu Army to the emperor instead. Don’t talk about Tianshi Dao now!"
Xuanwu sighed: "I think that we have to rely on civil war to consume it. In the end, it is our Jin Dynasty's strength. Rather than losing it, it is better to use it. The emperor thinks he can control the army, so let him go to the Northern Expedition. We will wait and see from behind.
, how can the northern land be conquered so easily? Even if it is conquered, he will still have to face the new northern aristocratic families and those barbarian tribes. How will he have the ability to deal with it then? If Sima Yao had this ability, he would still give it to him now
Are we playing tricks? He was just lucky enough to grow up safely and did not die young like his predecessor."
Bai Hu sneered: "Isn't it because of you? The previous emperor of the Sima family had no power in the court and could only make love in the harem, so his body collapsed early, and all of them were short-lived ghosts. But you found it for Sima Yao.
Although the queen, Wang Fahui, was beautiful, she was a fierce and jealous shrew. When she was alive, she beat and scolded the emperor every day. Sima Yao could not get any man's happiness in the harem, so he could only stay in the court every day.
, on the pretext of official business, my body did not collapse. Do you dare to say that it has nothing to do with you?"
Xuanwu was speechless for a while, and then sighed: "How could I know that Wang Fahui is such a woman? I thought that Wang Jiafeng was a handsome man with a decent family tradition, but he turned out to be such a village woman. Besides, Sima Yao
My desire for power is also greater than that of previous emperors, don’t you see that too?”
Qing Xi said coldly: "That's all, what's the use of talking about this now? The current Sima Yao is not something we can easily control. We should find ways to weaken his power, not strengthen it, Xuanwu, don't think about it
Give him the power and the Beifu Army, and as long as I am here, I will not agree!"
Xuanwu shook his head: "If you don't give it to him, who should I give it to? Should I give it to you Qinglong? After the Northern Expedition failed, my Xie family will naturally no longer be in power. Ordinarily, it will make no difference if I give it to you or the emperor. However, if I give it to you three families, then you
Is it still possible to retreat safely as mentioned? When the military and political power is in hand, are you willing to retreat? How to retreat? "
Qinglong's eyes sparkled: "We can operate behind the scenes. I said that the Beifu Army can be controlled by Xie Xuan first, and then transferred to Huan Xuan for a few years. If you are afraid that Huan Xuan's power will be too great to control, we can find someone else.
, such as Liu Laozhi."
Xuanwu sneered and said: "Will Liu Laozhi be so obedient? He is a general of my Xie family. In the end, didn't he end up controlling the Beifu army for us?"
Qinglong sneered and said: "No, Liu Laozhi is in charge of the army, but we will arrange for the commanders of each army to go in, he will not have the final say alone. Xuanwu, no matter what you say, I will not let you
Give the Beifu army to the emperor."
Xuanwu sighed: "Listen to me, the land of Yangzhou and the commander of the Beifu Army, the land of Jingzhou and the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou must not be controlled by our family now. Even those who seem to listen to us now, once
Once you have power, you may rebel at any time. Only letting the emperor take control is the best way. In this way, everyone has nothing to say. We can use the emperor's name to let our people enter the control separately, but we must not ignore it again.
Emperor, that will only trigger a new round of division and civil war."
Qinglong waved his hand: "I said that civil war and division are ways to eliminate the emperor's power, and there are ways to test out the small and medium-sized aristocratic families who are disloyal to us and have ambitions. This step cannot be avoided. Candidates for the governor of Jingzhou and the governor of Yangzhou
, I’ve already thought about it.”
Xuanwu's face darkened: "You can't make the decision on such a big matter alone!"
Qinglong laughed: "We have discussed it while you were away, and we basically reached a consensus. I am not the one who makes the decision. The governor of Yangzhou should be handed over to Wang Gong. Isn't he the best friend of your good nephew?"
I also have great respect for you, an old man. If he takes over, you can't say that we hacked your Xie family and took away your Beifu Army."
Xuanwu's eyes were gleaming and uncertain, and he said nothing.
Zhuque and Baihu looked at each other and raised their hands at the same time: "We agree."
Xuanwu sighed: "Since the three families have decided, my opinion is not important. Well, what should I do as the governor of Jingzhou? Should I give it to Huan Shiqian or Huan Shimin?"
Qinglong said coldly: "When did you ever see a dead person become a governor?"
Xuanwu frowned: "So, you also drugged them? Huh, Huan Xuan is really your good disciple. After poisoning them, are you going to let Huan Xuan take over Jingzhou? I'm afraid he is not qualified enough.
Well. Besides, the emperor and King Kuaiji would not agree to it. We finally have the opportunity to take revenge on the Huan family, how can we let it go?"
Qinglong smiled slightly: "You are right, Huan Xuan has not yet taken over Jingzhou, so it is more appropriate to give Wang Guobao or Wang Chen as the governor of Jingzhou. I prefer Wang Chen."
