"So, your Excellency plans to support the eighteenth Young Master Hu Hai. This... Young Master Fusu is resolute and brave, trustworthy and courageous, tolerant and a gentleman, and has a reputation both in court and in the public. But Young Master Hu Hai is only a child of twelve years old, Your Excellency.
If you plan to let His Majesty the Emperor abolish the elders and establish younger ones, I am afraid that you will get into trouble..."
Tian Jin didn't quite understand Li Si's decision to support Hu Hai.
It is true that the eldest son, Fusu, prefers Confucian ideals and cannot walk the same path as Li Si. But this is not the reason for a minister to interfere with the succession of the empire. If he does not go well, all the nine clans will suffer.
In the words of later generations, Fusu had a good hand at the beginning, but Hu Hai didn't have any cards now, so how could he play.
"Tian Yan, why are you so impatient? When did I say that Your Majesty would abolish the elders and establish younger ones?"
Li Si gently tapped the table under his command, and his eyes fell on Tian Qu, as if he was pointing something, "You should have the best experience if you hold a hand of high-quality chips but can't put them on the table."
Tian Yan's pupils trembled, obviously he had woken up.
At that time, Zhao Gongzijia also had good cards, but Zhao Wangyan favored Gongzi Qian. Zhao Jiakong had good cards, but he couldn't play them.
Of course, Li Si would not be so stupid as to blatantly interfere with Ying Zheng's selection of heirs. Now that Fusu has held the crowning ceremony and officially has the opportunity to participate in politics, what he wants to do is to make Ying Zheng disappointed in Fusu.
As for Hu Hai, just continue to be his son and make Ying Zheng happy. Not fighting is the biggest fight.
Ying Zheng never established a queen or a prince, and his preference for his youngest son Hu Hai was the biggest obstacle for Fusu to become the heir to the empire.
"My lord, you want to recommend Mr. Fusu for his meritorious service and use his temperament to make His Majesty the Emperor think that he is not suitable to inherit the empire."
Tian Jin closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes again, a smile appeared on his lips, "Fusu's philosophy is somewhat similar to that of Lu Yan, the national teacher at that time. It is based on the legal system and assisted by moral education.
Everyone in the world is treated equally.
Little did they know that the Imperial Master Lu Yan was a benevolent and loving person, but he had his iron-blooded support. Just the Three Jin and Chu Kingdoms had nearly a million dead due to Lu Yan's scheme.
His Majesty the Emperor will never be satisfied with an heir who has an empty ideal without the skills and heart to support it. Now there is an opportunity."
Li Si's eyebrows relaxed, he stroked his beard with one hand and nodded slightly.
Tian Meng, as the leader of the Seven Fierce Swords, promptly sent information, "In the northeastern part of the empire, there is a civil society called the Qilin Society. This organization is quite capable, and its tentacles span several counties. It has organized many sieges and suppressions in various places, but nothing happened."
It can be eradicated. Local officials are afraid that His Majesty the Emperor will be angry and kill, so they have concealed it and refused to report it.
This time in the Handan massacre, hundreds of people were killed in Guo Kaiyi's mansion, and the whole world was shocked. The existence of the Qilin Society officially came into the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor. Judging from the arrogant behavior of the Ben Lei Sword Master, the leader of the Qilin Society should be
Jingpingjun Nongyu, who defected not long ago."
"Nongyu~" Li Si flipped through the files handed over by Tian Meng and was full of emotions. "In the past, the daughter of a humble actress married Lu Yan and became his wife. I don't know how many pairs of eyes in the world were envied. But now she is...
"
"Tsk tsk, no wonder. His Majesty the Emperor was passing through counties where the Qilin Society was active during his second eastward tour. There was no movement from the Qilin Society that year. Coupled with the deliberate concealment in various places, His Majesty the Emperor was really turned into a spy.
blindness.
The route of the eastward patrol is the empire's top secret, and it is under the responsibility of the Shadow Guard Commander Zhang Han, so there is no possibility of leakage. Making jade is not easy."
After reading it, Li Si put down the file and stared forward, his eyes a little wandering.
Tian Jie offered his advice: "If Nongyu defectes, Qilin will take the initiative to cause trouble. His Majesty the Emperor will be furious, and corpses will inevitably litter the land. If Master Fusu handles this matter..."
Li Si thought about this plan and thought it was feasible. Fusu, who was in his early twenties, might be enough for him to drink from the local officials, let alone deal with the Qilin Society.
They were discussing here, but they didn't expect Fusu to make an unexpected and reasonable operation——
The eldest son of the empire Fu Su performed the coronation ceremony and asked His Majesty the Emperor for a marriage to the daughter of Li Si, the left prime minister of the empire.
His Majesty the Emperor, I agree.
…
In the northeastern part of the empire, probably around Mount Heng and Julu, the headquarters of the Qilin Society is hidden in the mountains.
Above the clouds high in the sky, the white phoenix rode on the king of birds. He knew the direction familiarly and then airborne down.
After Bai Feng landed, the base hidden among the mountains finally opened and closed to allow people to enter.
"The Qilin Society actually possesses the mechanism beast Suzaku. Could it be that it is really the back-up man left behind by King Yan Dan?"
"It's mysterious. The Qilin Society has taken care of all kinds of heroes over the years. There's no need to be so guarded against us."
A group of people were shouting and muttering, walking in the open passage of the agency.
They are all representatives of the anti-Qin forces across Shandong, mainly the remaining forces from the original Wei, Yan, and Qi states. They have all received more or less help from the Qilin Society in the past few years.
As the leader of the Qilin Society, Nong Yu officially appeared in person for the first time in so many years. She invited representatives from all forces to come to the gathering to discuss the next anti-Qin plan.
There are also some relatively large anti-Qin forces in the south, including the Xiang clan of Chu State, the Confucian Zhongliang clan, the Qidiao clan, the Zizhang clan, etc.
These forces are beyond the radiation range of the Qilin Society, so they are not included in Nongyu's invitation list.
After the mechanism passage, it suddenly opened up. Inside the empty valley, there was first a flat hall. Looking up, you could see three big characters "Qilin Hui" written with sword intent on a rock, which was majestic and vast.
The only fly in the ointment is that these three characters are written in Qin seal script, not characters left over from the Six Kingdoms.
At this time, in the hall, many disciples of the Qilin Society with swords stood with solemn eyes, lined up on both sides, and in the center stood a young man with pale skin.
"Haha, sighing for the sword, chaos when injured, thunder exposing the cold, it is the Jilin Festival Hero of the Qilin Association, hahaha, Wei has made the Festival Hero wait for a long time."
"Tian has met the Jie Da Xia."
"I've seen the festival hero."
Everyone was greeting each other enthusiastically, but some attentive people discovered that something was wrong.
In the crowd, Wu Kuang extended a gesture and said in a concentrated voice: "Brother, be careful, something is wrong. Pay attention to Jiehan's sword."
Chen Sheng's eyes were as fierce as an evil spirit. After hearing his brother's reminder, he immediately looked at the sword in the hand of the hero Jie Han.
The sword is three feet long and has a golden hilt. There is also a sword sound in the scabbard. This sword is absolutely extraordinary. If it were a famous sword in the world...
Chen Sheng's eyes widened, his eyeballs trembled with murderous intent, and he grabbed the giant sword on his back instantly.
Wu Kuang was cautious and had already blocked his elder brother's attack path.
Before the two brothers had time to communicate more, one of them drew his sword and rushed out angrily.
"Thunder Sword, Jie! You are from Qin!"
"What?! Is the hero Jiehan a native of Qin?"
"More than that, Ben Lei Sword, Jie, that's a member of Qin State's Luo Sheng, a genius swordsman who achieved great success at the age of fifteen!"
"Everyone, be careful~"
Bang~
The scabbard was against the incoming sword blade. Jiehan looked at the reckless man with an expressionless face, shook the opponent's sword away, and then smashed the man away with the scabbard, causing him to vomit blood when he fell to the ground.
"Qiqiqiqi~Linhui, what kind of organization is it?"
"What are you going to do!"
Everyone was in confusion for a while, holding their weapons in panic and at a loss.
What happened next made them so frightened that they could hardly breathe.
Da da da~
There was a sound of footsteps coming from behind, and several figures gradually revealed their identities from the darkness.
Green light sword, one side.
Ziyun sword, with frost.
Rain Flower Sword, Emperor E.
Whirlwind Sword, Kuang Xiu.
Lu Yanzi's seven swords have gathered five people.
