Chapter 107 The court and the world, the aristocratic family and the sect
"Your Highness Princess, since you are open and honest, Xiao will not beat around the bush.
Her Highness the Princess must have some agenda when she comes here this time, right?"
Xiao Xuan looked directly at Ying Xingyue and asked straight to the point.
"Haha, it saves trouble to talk to smart people."
Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Xuan finished speaking, the third princess couldn't wait to say: "Yes, Elder Xiao Xuan is really not simple. I...I came here this time to invite you Hongmeng Sect to participate in the event that will be held in the capital in six months.
A grand gathering of all things.”
"A grand event of ten thousand ways?"
Xiao Xuan frowned slightly.
Zhu Xuan saw this and explained:
"The Ten Thousand Dao Grand Meeting is a grand gathering led by the royal family of the Qin Dynasty to convene various forces in the territory to compete and rank."
"This is an opportunity for the top powerhouses from all sides of the entire Great Qin Dynasty to gather together. It is also a great opportunity for all forces to compete with each other, exchange experiences, and trade resources."
Having said this, Zhu Xuan's eyes revealed a strong interest, as if she was yearning for this grand event.
"I see."
After hearing Zhu Xuan's words, Xiao Xuan nodded, thoughtfully.
No wonder he often heard the talk about the top ten sects in the world. At first, he thought they were just created by those sects who were very powerful. Who would have thought that they were actually selected through a competition.
This is somewhat interesting.
"This Ten Thousand Dao Festival is different from the previous one."
After Zhu Xuan finished explaining, Ying Xingyue continued.
Zhu Xuan frowned slightly and asked, "What's the difference?"
“This time of the Ten Thousand Dao Grand Meeting, the participants will not only be Jianghu sects, but also aristocratic families.
It is the largest grand event in the history of the Qin Dynasty, and its significance is far-reaching..."
Ying Xingyue explained.
"Aristocratic families will also participate?"
A look of surprise appeared on Zhu Xuan's pretty face.
In her impression, this grand event always only invites powerful people in the world to participate, and does not invite aristocratic families to participate.
Moreover, wealthy families have deep roots and have high self-esteem.
They believe that the court and the world are two environments that can never be combined, and that aristocratic families and sects in different environments are more often like nobles to mud-legged people, with different statuses and cannot be beaten with eight poles.
Come together.
Therefore, those aristocratic families have always looked down upon such grand gatherings organized by the royal family, let alone attended them.
This year's Ten Thousand Ways Festival has undergone great changes from the past, which is equivalent to creating a historical precedent.
Could it be that...the royal family of the Qin Dynasty has any major plans to launch?
Zhu Xuan thought in her heart, but did not express her doubts.
But Xiao Xuan didn't care about so much and said directly: "When the Qin Dynasty was first established, it was only with the support and protection of the aristocratic families that it could manage to maintain this huge dynasty."
"Hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and this model has become a routine. To this day, the court's handling and decision-making of various key affairs rely on the support of these aristocratic families."
"Although they have always been peaceful, this does not mean that the royal family is willing to let the rights of the aristocratic family override the dynasty's decrees."
"Your Highness, the insatiable growth of the aristocratic family has made the royal family feel pressured and threatened, right?"
Xiao Xuan spoke quickly and clearly, expressing his thoughts word for word.
After hearing Xiao Xuan's words, a look of shock suddenly flashed in Ying Xingyue's eyes, and her expression became a little more serious.
She did not expect that Xiao Xuan could see through the worries of the Qin Dynasty royal family at a glance.
Xiao Xuan is right. The aristocratic families have indeed been growing more and more. Their ambitions are getting bigger and bigger. They are not satisfied with being an intervenor behind the imperial power, but want to become the true ruler of the imperial power.
.
This kind of ambition has expanded to a critical point, and once it breaks out, it will be out of control.
Now, the royal family is aware of this terrible consequence and has to take measures.
"If Xiao's guess is correct, you, the Great Qin royal family, want to take advantage of this grand event to extinguish the arrogance of the big families with the help of the Jianghu sect, and at the same time, gather the Jianghu sect into a handful in your hand.
Sword, and then use this sword to defeat the powerful families and make them completely withdraw from the stage of power."
Xiao Xuan continued.
"good!"
Ying Xingyue nodded and admitted: "Elder Xiao Xuan is indeed a smart and wise person.
That's right, I came here this time, firstly, to invite all the major sects to participate in the grand event, and secondly, to build good relationships with all the sects in the world, to solve the hidden danger of aristocratic families, and to make our country of Great Qin permanent!"
Saying that, Ying Xingyue stood up, bowed deeply to Xiao Xuan, and said sincerely: "In the grand competition of noble sects, I saw the grace of Elder Xiao Xuan who killed ten golden elixirs with one sword. Xingyue was so impressed that he fell to the ground!
"
"In Xingyue's view, if there is anyone in the Jianghu sect who can break this difficult situation, it is none other than Elder Xiao Xuan. Therefore, Xingyue specially came to see Elder Xiao Xuan, hoping that Elder Xiao Xuan can come forward.
Participate in this grand event of ten thousand ways."
After saying that, Ying Xingyue bowed respectfully to Xiao Xuan again, with a very humble attitude.
"If you tell your purpose so blatantly, aren't you afraid that some sect has already gotten in touch with the family and tipped off?"
Facing Ying Xingyue's respectful attitude, Xiao Xuan said calmly without comment.
"This matter is not a secret. After I fought against all opinions and obtained the approval of my father, I already arranged for people to spread the news. Those aristocratic families knew everything about this matter, but they did not stop it."
"Because they also want to use this opportunity to completely subdue the royal family through this grand event of ten thousand ways, so as to increase the power of the family to a higher level."
Ying Xingyue explained.
"You're pretty slick with your conspiracy!"
Hearing Ying Xingyue's remarks, Xiao Xuan narrowed his eyes and finally looked at the only princess of the Qin Dynasty for the first time with great interest in his eyes.
This princess is not very old, probably about twenty years old.
Just looking at this charming and charming face, it’s hard to believe.
She actually possesses the palace and means that can be called a powerful and hegemonic person.
"Elder Xiao Xuan laughed. I was forced to do nothing."
Ying Xingyue smiled bitterly and said: "The strength of the aristocratic family is too strong, and the royal family has lost its lust for pampering for so long. It is difficult for the court to compete with it. Only with the support of Jianghu sects can we gain a chance of survival."
"Please also ask Elder Xiao Xuan to take action."
Saying that, Ying Xingyue bowed deeply to Xiao Xuan again.
Xiao Xuan shook his head and said calmly: "This matter is of great importance. If you are not careful, the Hongmeng Sect will fall into a situation that is beyond redemption. I am just an elder of the Hongmeng Sect who teaches skills and I have no right to make the decision."
Ying Xingyue was not annoyed after hearing this. She turned to look at Zhu Xuan and said sincerely: "Master Zhu Xuan, if the Hongmeng Sect agrees to participate in the Ten Thousand Dao Festival, I will give you an unexploited spirit stone vein."
"If I can help the royal family resolve this matter, in addition to the due gratitude, I will also try my best to facilitate the establishment of a 'Guozong' in Da Qin, so as to provide the Hongmeng Sect with the qualification to compete for the 'Guozong'."
Guozong, as the name suggests, is the ancestor of a country. It has a respected status and can stand side by side with the royal family.
A vein of spiritual stone that has not yet been mined, plus an unnamed thank you gift, and a competition for the position of 'Guozong'.
These conditions are undoubtedly a huge temptation for Hongmeng Sect.
Zhu Xuan's eyes lit up after hearing Ying Xingyue's words.
This is already considered the fastest and best way to carry forward the Hongmeng Sect.
Thinking of this, she took a deep look at Xiao Xuan, and she couldn't help but feel helpless when she saw that Xiao Xuan just looked like he was ignoring the matter.
After pondering for a moment, she said: "Your Highness, the matter is serious and I cannot respond immediately. I will wait until I summon the elders of the sect to discuss it over a long period of time."
