The Dayong Dynasty was not a unified dynasty, but rather similar to the situation when the vassal towns were separatist in the late Tang Dynasty. However, the difference was that the royal family was strong, its unification was unshakable, and it had the ability to suppress other forces.
Most of the big and small forces that dominate the world are the heroes who founded the country.
For example, the military and political power of Yanzhou almost falls to the Kong family, a family of saints, Yangzhou is almost owned by the Shen family of Jinling, and Nan'an County is also the territory of the Meng family. Similarly, the uncrowned king of Xuzhou belongs to the Li family, one of the nine surnames.
The Li family is said to be the descendant of the Li family of the medieval Tang Dynasty. It has a profound heritage. It was not until the end of the Middle Ages and the chaotic times of the late Ming Dynasty that they returned to the world. They helped Beitang Gong establish Dayong and became the founding hero of the country, ranking among the nine surnames.
One.
The Li family, who inherited the hereditary title of Duke of the Song Dynasty, is a top noble. His family runs seven counties in Xuzhou. The family's children and retainers are everywhere in the military and government. Several large sects in Xuzhou are also inextricably linked to the Li family.
Relationship.
Of course, the Chaotang does not have any influence in Xuzhou. The highest official of the state capital, the governor, has always been appointed by the imperial court. Tianxingtang also has little connection with the local area and is directly affiliated with the Yujing headquarters. Shengsheng opened a branch in Xuzhou.
Kouzi.
Because of this, Meng Zhao felt a little strange, and even came up with an idea and guess that was obviously very unreliable but unexplainable.
"Yes, Zhao'er, you are right. The power of the Beitang royal family in Xuzhou is far less than that of the Li family, which has been in business for so many years. So, you might as well be bolder and talk about it.
Why does that god-king and General Yutian have the courage to rebel?"
There was no need for Meng Zhao to answer at this time. Meng Chuan, who looked like a hill on the side, was already dumbfounded and said,
"Dad, are you saying that the people behind those two people are Song Guogong Li's family? No way!"
Peasant uprisings seem to be huge, but in fact they are just pioneers for the king. They are rarely successful. However, the aristocratic rebellion is different. It must have been planned for a long time. Civil servants and generals, food and military equipment, strategies and tactics are all well-equipped to create disaster.
The trouble is far greater than the former.
If just two idiots who don't know the heights of the world and don't know their own abilities rebel, the imperial court can be wiped out with just a few clicks.
But if the Li family, one of the nine surnames, secretly supports it, then the rebellion may still not succeed, but it will definitely shake the foundation of Dayong's country and seriously damage its vitality.
It's like a person who has an arm broken off. How can it not hurt or be affected?
"Why not? Fifth brother and third uncle have already made it very clear. Without the promise and support of Song Guogong Li's family, even if the two green forest tycoons killed the Xuzhou governor, they would just be on the run.
He is on the wanted list of Tianxingtang, and he is no different from other murderers on the list.
How can we pacify the civil and military forces, recruit heroes, support a large army, recruit hundreds of thousands of people, and become so powerful that it is unstoppable?"
Even other forces belonging to the Nine Surnames and Thirteen Families would never be able to achieve this in Xuzhou.
But, the question comes again, what does the Li family want? There must be a reason for the rebellion.
In Dayong, the nine surnames are the top nobles with the most status, power, and wealth. Compared with the thirteen families that exist as martial arts holy lands, they have more resources and power.
In a sense, although the Beitang royal family is a royal family, it is also one of the nine surnames. It is tied with the other eight surnames. There is a gap, but there is no absolute superiority.
This was a hidden danger left by Taizu Beitanggong when he founded the country. Because of the Taishan Supreme Alliance, he promised to the big and small forces that supported him at that time to share wealth and empathize with the world.
Now it seems that Beitang Gong was eager for quick success, although he succeeded in cleaning up China, achieved unparalleled achievements, and created Dayong.
But it also leaves major hidden dangers for future generations.
But there is a saying that goes well, nothing is absolute. If you don’t sacrifice certain interests in exchange for the support of most forces, you can determine the world.
Beitang Gong may not be able to sweep away the heroes and dominate the world, but what if another true dragon is born?
Anyway, under Beitang Gong's operation, the Li family shared a lot of authority that should only be available to the royal family, and their power was overwhelming.
The children of his family are also very rich and powerful. They want money, women, and military power. They have everything, so there is no reason to rebel.
Is it possible that one is too wealthy and has no pursuit in life, and only rebellion can realize the meaning of one's existence?
After Meng Zhao thought so much, he naturally asked. He had nothing to hide from Meng Hongdao.
"Third uncle, my nephew doesn't understand why the Li family does this. Is it true that people's desires are so hard to satisfy that they have to go to the Nine Five-Year Plan and become rich in the world to satisfy them?
Also, the power of one family alone cannot shake the rule of the Beitang family. Don't they think about what situation their family will face if they fail?"
According to Meng Zhao's view, although Dayong is not in a prosperous age now, he can at least enjoy peace. It is not impossible to have a good time, be a good official, and live and work in peace and contentment.
Yes, he was indeed a beggar in this life, but the gap between rich and poor has always existed. Beggars still existed in the extremely prosperous era of his previous life, so how can he expect that there will be no such world?
What is really not peaceful is that if these warriors who have mastered the power of martial arts have evil intentions, they will cause great safety risks. However, this is also a special world, a special product, and cannot be blamed.
You can’t use the Jedi Heavenly Power or Dragon Veins Slayer mentioned in novels to cut off your martial arts path, right?
Anyone who dares to do this will be attacked by all warriors in the world, and he is no exception.
Therefore, Dayong is already very good. Since the current Emperor Beitang Sheng came to power, he has been tough-minded, organized the administration, and appeased the local people. He is quite wise and powerful, and he will only prosper in the future.
At least it shouldn’t be at this time that there are twists and turns that destabilize the country.
Moreover, although the Li family is using the names of Gao Yingzhong and Luan Xiaojie, who with a discerning eye can't see that they are behind it?
Covering one's ears and stealing the bell is just deceiving oneself and others. Once the rebellion is put down, the Li family will be in danger.
Meng Hongdao shook his head, his sharp eyes as sharp as an eagle looking rather hesitant.
"First of all, if the Li family dares to do this, it must not be just his family's idea. The Cangwu sect, which has always been on good terms with the Li family, should agree. The Cangwu sect is one of the thirteen families. This power is not small.
.
In addition to the Li family, the attitude of the Bai family in Yuanzhou is also very ambiguous. They are both a family of nine surnames and have always had a bad relationship with the Beitang royal family. At this time, I am afraid they will have to get involved.
Secondly, the Li family did not rebel directly after all, but supported two puppets.
This leaves room for change. If it fails in the future and directly sacrifices two chess pieces, what can the Beitang royal family do?
If we really break up, the Li family will not be able to gain favor, and the Beitang family may not benefit either."
Meng Zhao's understanding of the former was limited due to information. He didn't know until Meng Hongdao finished speaking.
I have thought of the latter, but it cannot be completely without influence.
If Meng Zhao were the current emperor, after the rebellion was suppressed and the Li family chose a puppet to replace him, they could use this as an excuse to deploy their own people in Xuzhou to divide Xuzhou's strength.
In the future, he can become the emperor, gradually weaken the Li family, and slowly take back the power that belongs to the emperor.
Therefore, if the Li family rebels in person, if it fails, the family will be destroyed.
If you choose a puppet, even if you fail, you will not be able to escape the crisis of serious damage to your vitality, or even the destruction of your family.
