"How is it?" His Majesty the Emperor asked this as his first sentence after entering. It was very plain, simple and simple.
"Well, not bad." Ye Nantian smiled. Ye Nantian's answer was also plain and simple.
"That's good." His Majesty the Emperor breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty, I feel a little wronged by everything today." Ye Nantian said.
"What is there to be aggrieved about? There is a cause and a result, and vice versa." His Majesty the Emperor smiled: "What do you want to do? Just tell me directly."
His Majesty the Emperor never calls himself in front of Ye Nantian.
Ye Nantian has long been accustomed to this; because Ye Nantian never calls himself a 'subordinate' in front of His Majesty the Emperor.
Especially when two people are together in private.
In addition, the two of them have never treated each other as brothers, although they are serious sworn brothers.
Therefore, the official titles of royal sworn brothers, such as "Emperor Brother" and "Chen Brother", do not exist in the conversations between them, so that in their conversations, they use the most common words to address each other.
, just "you" and "me"
"Lawless Ye Nantian has now become a legend." Ye Nantian smiled: "Although it is a disgraceful name, it is not a bad thing. Things in the world always have mixed benefits and disadvantages. It is impossible to have only advantages and no disadvantages.
.”
His Majesty the Emperor nodded: "I understand, how is Xiaoxiao now?"
Ye Nantian sighed: "That kid finally managed to hold on until I rushed back. Now... he won't be able to go that far."
After hearing these words, His Majesty the Emperor was completely relieved and blurted out: "A tiger father has no dog son."
As long as Ye Xiao doesn't die, then Ye Nantian won't lose control, run away or even go crazy, and everything will turn around.
Ye Nantian sighed: "I still have a headache."
His Majesty the Emperor laughed, his laughter showing great joy.
"Don't be too happy. This time, I plan to kill a few people." Ye Nantian said seriously.
His Majesty the Emperor's smile faded, he sighed again, and did not speak for a long time.
"This time, someone from the royal family should be involved." Ye Nantian said again in a very calm tone.
The whole sentence was said as plainly as boiled water, but the meaning behind the words was shocking and touching.
His Majesty the Emperor's calm face twitched slightly, and then said: "Okay."
This simple word "Okay" has already set the tone for a series of events that followed.
It's not that Chen Xuantian doesn't want to protect his heir's bloodline, but that the perpetrator is destined to be unable to protect him. Ye Nantian spoke like this just to inform him, not to wait for His Majesty's approval and recognition.
Now that the matter was doomed, His Majesty the Emperor naturally chose to end this topic immediately.
This choice is undoubtedly wise and wise, but of course, there are still many helplessness
"This time the empire is in turmoil and the crisis is unprecedented. Are you confident in handling Nantian?" the emperor asked with a worried look on his face.
"If there wasn't that person behind the scenes, I don't think all the problems in front of me would be a problem." Ye Nantian was also worried in his tone: "However, the existence of that person and that building didn't make me worry too much.
This is the main reason why I followed the trend this time and wanted to completely eliminate the future troubles."
After hearing this, His Majesty the Emperor was silent for a long time, and then he sighed and said: "The clouds are turning and the rain is falling... the clouds are turning rain... it's white."
There was a hint of eeriness in his voice.
Ye Nantian reminded him seriously: "That person cannot be killed."
This gentle word made His Majesty the Emperor slump again for a long time and said: "If you take action personally and go all out, you can't kill him?"
Ye Nantian shook his head gently and said in a deep voice: "No."
His Majesty the Emperor remained silent, his face becoming extremely ugly.
Ye Nantian frowned and said worriedly: "I have all the information about that person for thousands of years... If it is really as stated in the information, as long as any one of those three people recovers his true cultivation, I will
Not an opponent. In fact, it is no lie that the other party can kill me easily."
His Majesty the Emperor smiled bitterly.
He murmured: "The Cloud-turning Rain Tower...the beauty in the clouds, the beauty in the sky...Master Bai, haha..." His majestic face revealed a strong sense of helplessness, and he said: "This is like hanging on the heads of emperors from all over the world forever.
Once the sharpest sword on the throne is cut off at any time, the king's hegemony will be returned to the loess; the iron-barrel country will be destroyed in one day, but there is no way to stop it, so it can only be passively endured. Alas."
Ye Nantian said calmly: "If you want to deal with this person, the only way is to defeat him head-on and use your wits."
He said calmly: "Actually... every time the other party appears, there is no fixed goal and no persistence in destroying a certain empire. Instead, he aims to create chaos in the world and then follow the trend."
"I even suspect that their purpose of doing this is just to deliberately cause bloody killings and massive casualties. If this is really the case, His Majesty is not without opportunities.
Ye Nantian's words made His Majesty the Emperor look better.
"I also understand the purpose of Fanyunfuyulou. Nantian, your analysis is very reasonable. Originally, according to the way of benevolence, the people of any country should not sacrifice and kill lightly, and subjugate the military talents of others without fighting.
It is the best thing for a military strategist to do, but at this juncture, it is absolutely impossible to have both. As the saying goes, "a dead Taoist friend will not die a poor Taoist." Everything should still be to protect the Chenhuang people and territory first. At that time, if the goal of turning the clouds and rains over the building is achieved,
If we retreat, not only will our side not be destroyed, but we even still have some remaining strength, then it is very likely that this continent will be completely unified in the hands of our Emperor Chen," His Majesty the Emperor said with shining eyes.
Ye Nantian smiled noncommittally and said: "Based on the facts, it is indeed true."
On this day, the two men talked secretly for a long time.
Then when His Majesty the Emperor went out to drive back to the palace, his face was very strange. It was hard to tell how disappointed he was, but he was definitely not happy either. In short, he was frowning and worried all the way.
No one who saw it dared to ask what happened, for fear of getting into trouble.
However, a rumor quickly spread: I am afraid that Mr. Ye's life is in danger this time, and Ye Nantian's violent outcome is doomed to be inevitable.
That's why His Majesty the Emperor is so unhappy...
After His Majesty the Emperor left, Ye Nantian stayed alone in the study for a long time before finally getting up and going to his son's residence.
"Xiaoxiao, tell me... why is the emperor unhappy?" Ye Nantian asked.
This is not a question, but another test for my son.
Ye Xiao frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Could he have hemorrhoids?"
Ye Nantian was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
After a long while, he slapped the table: "Speak seriously."
Ye Xiao rolled his eyes.
Does this kind of thing still need to be discussed?
"The emperor naturally didn't want me to kill people. However, he knew clearly that the people I killed deserved to be killed," Ye Nantian said.
"Because... His Majesty needs civil and military control and the emperor's mind to balance the government and the opposition. He does not want any party to be too powerful and lose control." Ye Xiao twitched the corners of his mouth, somewhat disapprovingly.
It seems that if I don’t answer the question well today, I won’t want to sleep. In this case, what’s the harm in just answering it simply?
"Please tell me in detail." Ye Nantian's eyes lit up, and he looked at his son with even more relief.
"Our Majesty actually knows clearly in his heart who is a loyal minister and who is a treacherous minister, who can protect the family and the country, and who is more successful than successful... Therefore, His Majesty has always balanced this relationship very well."
"A court cannot be filled with traitors. If that were the case, the country would have perished long ago. But a court cannot be filled with loyal ministers, because then there would be no fun in being an emperor.
There is not even a little bit of freedom. Therefore, the emperor also needs some sycophants and favors, flattering villains and so on, to relax himself, adjust his body and mind, and even balance the forces of the government and the opposition."
"However, what you are doing this time, father, is clearly to catch all those people and bring about a true Qingming Festival for the government and the public." Ye Xiao said bluntly: "And in this way, it is completely opposite to His Majesty the Emperor's political philosophy. The existence of those people
The greatest significance is to use it to check and balance the truly insightful people in the court; so that all decisions are in the hands of His Majesty..."
"This is the so-called emperor's mental skill." Ye Xiao said.
"That's right." Ye Nantian nodded: "But now, it is imperative. Regardless of anything else, even if it is just for your pretense this time, I will kill you.
"Of course, it is indeed imperative." Ye Xiao looked uninterested.
"Actually, Your Majesty is pretty good." Ye Nantian looked into his son's eyes, hoping to find out more.
"It's a pity that none of His Majesty's three sons are good. Even if they were not his ministers at that time, they would still be miserable." Ye Xiao said without interest.
Ye Nantian nodded in agreement, and his mind became even heavier. Fortunately, Ye Xiao was talking about Yuanyou, so there was no need to think about it for the time being.
"You said that His Majesty the Emperor is doing well as of now. I don't deny that, but this good performance is also based on your absolute use value..." Ye Xiao said lightly.
"I don't know this." Ye Nantian nodded and said: "However, in the final analysis, things in this world are just a struggle for interests. If you are not of any use, who will look at you? Just use this to deny it.
An emperor is obviously not suitable."
"I didn't say that I wanted to deny His Majesty the Emperor." Ye smiled and said, "I just pointed out the fundamental problem. In fact, the interests are not only related to the emperor, but also to ordinary people."
