After saying this, the eunuch in charge chuckled and reached out to pat Li Su on the shoulder.
"Master Li... we will stop talking about this matter here. It would be inappropriate to talk about it any more."
"Sir, hurry up and go, our family has to retreat first..."
After the words fell, the chief eunuch did not wait for Li Su to answer, bowed to him, and slowly retreated.
Li Su was left standing there blankly. After thinking for a long time, he turned around and walked out of the hall.
In the back hall, Nan Yanxi was sitting leisurely on a recliner, enjoying the gentle massage from the beauty next to her.
"Husband, I still don't understand!" Li Shuwan whispered: "Why did you agree to him, just because you want to deal with those powerful people?"
"I always feel that it is not necessary."
Nan Yanxi, who was sitting on the recliner, closed her eyes comfortably and replied softly: "Hey...if it is purely from a military perspective, it is naturally not necessary."
"Not to mention Xiang Yang now, it's not like Xiang Tianxing didn't sue for peace like us when he was alive."
"From a purely military perspective, husband, I will just send my troops north and destroy them in half a month."
"But... our ultimate goal is not to simply annihilate the enemy militarily. What we want is long-term peace and stability."
"I'm not afraid of these wealthy nobles. I believe that if I give you 10,000 people, you will definitely be able to eradicate them all within a month, right?"
"However, this group of powerful nobles cannot be defined solely from a military perspective. If we act rashly, it will be untenable legally."
"Because they have not committed any serious crime of exterminating the nine tribes, if we do this rashly, it is very likely that the disciples who came from them will catch the flaw."
"Those people are good at inciting people. If they just write a few articles, they may cause war to break out."
"After all, there are tens of thousands of students in the world... Our new policy will take time to show its benefits, so we have to think more about this matter."
"Oh... that's it..." After hearing this, Li Shuwan blinked with some understanding and asked tentatively: "So... your husband agreed to Xiang Yang's request for peace?"
"Ask him to implement the new policy for you and deal with the powerful nobles? Then why not make him governor or something? He has to be made king... In this way, wouldn't there be many hidden dangers?"
"And... why did you say the same thing when the envoy from the Lin family came a few days ago?"
"Silly girl..." Nan Yanxi opened her eyes, smiled and pinched Li Shuwan's little nose, and patiently explained: "Because no matter what high official he is, he is recognized by the imperial court."
"With the title of king, there will be a fief. I will deliberately release the system of granting Xiang Yang the title of queen. All government affairs in the fief will be decided by him."
"In the future, when he completes his plan to eliminate aristocratic families and implement new policies, which arouses strong reactions from those noble disciples, we can completely wait until he completes the task and put the blame on his head, and use this to kill him!"
"That's right..." Li Shuwan nodded, but at the same time she was a little worried: "Husband, this Xiang Yang is not an ordinary person. Can he see this?"
Hearing this, Nan Yanxi chuckled: "So what if you can see it? This is the step I gave him. If he doesn't want to die, he has to get down!"
"You just heard what I said. This initial title of king is only temporary. Only after the powerful family is successfully eliminated, will I truly confirm his throne."
"So...even if he really understands that I am actually using him to eliminate the noble family, he still has to do it in order to get the throne from me."
"That's it!" After hearing what he said, Li Shuwan shook her head in admiration: "Oh... I'm just saying, you people are really..."
"Fortunately, I was wise back then and knew that I couldn't defeat you. If I had really chosen to fight you back then, the grass on my grave would probably be as tall as my own now."
"Yes, yes!" Nan Yanxi lovingly stretched out her hand to pinch Li Shuwan's little baby face, and said with a wicked smile: "As the saying goes, if you can't fight, join!"
"Speaking of which, isn't my Shuwan even more skilled? Hahaha..."
Hearing this, Li Shuwan pursed her lips arrogantly: "Hehe...that's right! This girl really has a long-term vision."
"But...husband...you said that you want Xiang Yang and the Lin brothers to compete together. I understand that this is to let them compete with each other."
"But if they use their troops to protect themselves in the future, wouldn't we be asking for trouble?"
"Don't worry!" Hearing what she said, Nan Yanxi felt very confident.
He reached out and took him into his arms, and said softly: "I will only give him political freedom, but I didn't say I would give him military freedom."
"All military types are sent here by the imperial court to carry out absolute military and political separation of their fiefdoms."
"Fiefdom lords are only allowed to have no more than five thousand escort soldiers, and they must be appointed by the local garrison."
"Moreover, these people are all human spirits. In order to prevent them from buying off the local guards, I decided to implement a rotation system in their fiefdoms."
"The troops stationed in the fiefdom are rotated every six months, and they are rotated all over the country."
Gently lifting Li Shuwan's chin, Nan Yanxi smiled and said: "How about it? Without military power, you will be like a tiger with its teeth pulled out. What else is there to be afraid of!"
"It's amazing..." Li Shuwan heard this and gave him a thumbs up with admiration.
The two of them lingered for a while, and then the head eunuch bent down and walked in.
He saluted Nan Yanxi and said, "Go back to the emperor. If it's time to wait, I've already brought you here."
"Well, not bad...well done!" Nan Yanxi nodded: "How is it? Did he have any abnormal reaction?"
"No..." The head eunuch shook his head: "Li Su was just thinking after listening to the old slave's suggestion."
"According to your plan, the old slave was just a reminder. After finishing speaking, he left immediately. I heard from the boys below that he thought about it for a long time before leaving."
Hearing this, Nan Yanxi agreed, then waved her hand: "Okay, I understand... You can go down first!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!" the old eunuch agreed, turned around and retreated.
Li Shuwan, who was sitting in Nan Yanxi's arms, became curious: "Husband...what are you talking about?"
"Nothing... I just asked him to bring a message to Li Su." Nan Yanxi didn't hide anything, and then explained: "Then I asked Li Su to bring a message to Xiang Yang."
"Ask him to quietly deliver the little emperor Lin Shenqing to me!"
"This Li Su is a smart man. He knows that the eunuch's message must have my intentions behind it, so he will definitely consider this matter seriously."
