Night, capital, Puningfang.

In a house, a middle-aged man with a rich appearance seemed to notice something and was suddenly awakened in his sleep.

I subconsciously looked around and found that there was one more person in my room. A man wearing a silver mask with blood patterns and a light blue robe.

At this time, this man seemed to be treating this place as his home, and just sat at his table under the moonlight, drinking his wine.

At will, leisurely.

"This friend, I don't know what happened when I visited the enemy late at night?" The rich man glanced at the person beside the pillow quietly, and found that the other party had no idea when and why he fell into a deep coma. Then he quietly reached out to touch the enemy-killing weapon hidden under the pillow, while opening his mouth to test the man wearing a mask.

"Mr. Liu, if I were you, I wouldn't have any unnecessary actions at this time." The masked man did not answer the question of the rich man as soon as possible, but instead pointed out his plan first and said lightly: "Because you will never know whether these actions will ruin your life."

"This friend is joking," said the rich man without showing any embarrassment after being called out. Instead, he smiled: "If a friend wants to kill him, the corpse in the underworld may be cold now. So I think my friend has something to come and find him. Please tell me, if you can do anything, you will definitely not refuse."

"Mr. Liu is indeed a smart person," said the masked man lightly: "Since that's the case, I won't say much nonsense. I'll send you a message to your Ma Master, and said that someone asked him to meet him at the Qunfang Courtyard of Pingkangfang at the next day at the hour of the day."

Hearing the three words "Master" by the rich man, the pupils of the rich man instantly shrank. After a long time, he smiled and said, "This... what Master's master? Friend, I really don't understand what you mean."

"I just said that Mr. Liu is smart, but now I've said these unintentional words again," the masked man said lightly: "Anyway, I have finished what I should say. I also hope Mr. Liu can make the most correct choice and not let myself regret it."

It seemed that he didn't want to get entangled with this rich man anymore, so as he finished speaking, the figure of the masked man under the moonlight began to gradually blur, and then it directly scattered into a breeze, dissipating invisibly. Only the rich man was left in the room, his face was gloomy and sunny.

And this seemed to be just the first one the masked man was going to visit tonight. Next, the masked man appeared one after another in various yards in the capital. It was not until he finished walking the five houses that he got into a carriage in Pingkangfang and returned to the house in Zhenbei Hou Mansion in the capital.

On the other side, it seemed that it was almost done to put the three princes of the marquis' mansion. So the next day, someone came to pass the imperial edict to Bai Li and the other two and summoned them to meet at the morning court tomorrow.

The news was soon learned by officials of all sizes in the capital. Some of them were ready to give the three marquises a good look to win the favor of today's officials, so that they could fully cultivate their spirits today, express their memorials, and prepare to attack tomorrow's morning court.

The three princes of the Hou Mansion were naturally aware of the idea of ​​today's son and these officials, so Le Chong once again sent a post to invite him, gathered with Bai Li, and unified the idea. He also specially asked the staff of each government to make a few drafts to deal with the farce in the court tomorrow.

Time flies very quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the morning court time of the next day. Bai Li and others naturally came to the imperial city early, waiting for the emperor's summons.

The emperor did not ask them to wait too long for this, but after a cup of tea, an eunuch came to summon him and brought Bai Li and others into the court and the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

A speech to each other without any nutrition, a conversation between the king and the wise minister.

As the nonsense between the emperor and Bai Li finished, a censor could not hold back and stood up first, and began to discuss the crime of disrespect for the three princes. When the emperor had already invented the order to summon him, he refused to obey the imperial edict and gave all kinds of reasons to shirk the court.

The three young men naturally had already prepared their words for a long time, and they didn't even use white rituals to make a move. The prince of the West Hou was the first to refute the censor's words one by one, and the directly defended the other party was speechless.

But that one is obviously just a leader. After so many officials have prepared for such a long time, of course it is impossible to finish it so easily.

Therefore, soon, more officials stood up, from the inappropriate actions of the three princes over the years to the little things that the three princes entered the capital. It can be said that almost all the things that could be amplified were taken away by people, especially the case of Lu Ping of the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion, which was taken out by several court officials, becoming a negative example of the Marquis' Mansion bullying by power.

Bai Li was naturally not polite about this. He said in a straightforward sentence that the Seventh Prince knew more about this matter than anyone else. He might as well call him to the palace and ask, and he instantly made several court officials speechless. When it comes to the royal children, he would not dare to talk nonsense on this.

After all, when Zi is not a good person today, Gu Yu and Bu Zhizhi's method is not easy to use for him. I am really annoyed, but he will kill people!

When Bai Li and others responded to the attacks of many court officials, they finally got into the scene in person. This person was an important aide to Zi during his reign as a prince. Chao Jing, the censor who is now in charge of the Censorate, is an absolute supporter of the Great Unification Policy.

Naturally, his methods were not as explicit as some of the previous court officials. He neither commented on the actions of the three town princes, nor criticized the private morality of the three town princes, but directly talked about the righteousness.

He told the three princes of the Marquis's family about the benefits of his great unification policy, the benefits to the court and the people of the world. As well as the government orders caused by the emergence of the three town princes, overlapping resource use, extreme waste, etc.

After a long discussion, he asked him to say all the good things, and then he handed over the choice to Bai Li and others. General smiled and said, "I don't know the three princes, oh, the old minister has neglected, and one of them is a young master. What did the old minister say just now?"

I have to admit that Chao Jing is worthy of being a famous scholar. He is very polite and has a great reputation. After all, it is difficult for people to refute this sentence from the moral commanding heights for a while.

This also made the tall and high-ranking Dangzi nodded slightly today. The two princes of the Marquis' family frowned and began to search for the aides who had already prepared their speeches to see if they could find something useful.

There is no way, and the two princes of the Marquis' House will not worry. If someone really spread the remarks from this morning court, what would the people in the people think?

Will you think that great unification is the general trend and it is natural. Is it true that the people from the three towns of princes cannot come up with a legitimate rebuttal that they can be brought to the table?

However, after searching for a while, the two princes of the Marquis' Mansion suddenly found that the things prepared by their staff seemed so pale under Chao Jing's remarks that stood on the moral high ground.

After all, in the other party's remarks, whether it is military or people's livelihood, they all came up with reasonable and well-founded things. Chao Jing used visible and tangible data to express that for the current court, you three lords are redundant. Without you, the court will live a better life.

It is undeniable that Chao Jing's words do have some truth. When the founding of the country, regardless of it, with the governance of the three emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the national strength of the Great Zhou had already made leap progress. For example, the Twelve Guards directly under the court, the Zhechong Prefecture, which belongs to the same jurisdiction, had changed from the thirty-six prefectures during the founding period to the 132 prefectures at this time.

This means that the current imperial court can rely on its own strength, that is, their direct power, to resist or even suppress the surrounding countries such as the Huns, the East Island, the Southern Barbarians, and the Western Rong.

Therefore, at this time, the role of the three rulers in the three states was not as great as that during the founding period. On the contrary, it may sometimes become a hindrance to the implementation of some government orders in the court.

However, the truth is true, but this kind of act of generously magnanimous to others is really annoying. If you really think that the three princes in the three cities are useless, then don’t promise to divide the feudal when you founded the country!

Now that I have crossed the river, I want to demolish the bridge. I really think that the princes of the three towns are dead objects, so I can do whatever you want.

Therefore, Bai Li coughed a few times and stood up, and said to Chao Jing, who was full of lust in his eyes: "Mr. Chao is worthy of being a famous master, and his eloquence is truly unparalleled. The great truth of the foreign minister is a sick man, so naturally he can't say that Lord Chao. However, there is also a small story here that I would like to share with Lord Chao, and I hope Chao will not be stingy and correct me."

"Second Master, please tell me," Chao Jing said calmly.

"In the past, Zigong visited a friend of Xu Guo when he met a person on the road. He suddenly had a whim and asked the passerby: Now that Xu Guo is fighting with Lu Guo, if you have 100,000 yuan, can you donate it all for military funds?

Passersby said: Yes.

Zigong asked again: If there is tens of thousands of dollars, can he be willing to donate them all?

Passers-by continued: It's okay.

Zigong asked again: What if there is a thousand dollars

The passerby hesitated for a moment and shook his head and said: No.

Zigong wondered: Why is it okay to have 100,000 yuan, but it is not okay to have 100,000 yuan?

Passers-by said: Because I really have a thousand dollars.

A short story has no big reason.

Smile all the masters.

However, foreign ministers think that if they don’t know how difficult it is for others to give, they like to be generous to others. Such people must stay away from him, because it will be bad if they can’t help but implicate them!"

"You! You..." The seemingly irrelevant story and the irrelevant sentences almost choked Chao Jing, who looked righteous and righteous, and after a long time, he said with a look of ugly expression: "The old minister is familiar with the classics, history, and collections of books, why never know that Zigong has this story? Where did the second young master hear it?"

"No?" Bai Li raised his eyebrows and said suddenly: "Oh, sorry, Lord Chao, I forgot that this story... was made up by me."
