Chapter 158 The first conspiracy throughout the ages, the order of grace!

Chapter 158 The greatest conspiracy of all time, push the grace order! Plan to kill King Ning! [Ask for monthly votes]

Qilin Prince's Mansion.

As the figure of the old demon appeared, King Qilin's expression couldn't help but change.

"May I ask if your seniors have any advice?"

King Qilin's voice sounded. He was a little puzzled and curious, not knowing what was going on.

"Someone asked me to come forward and meet you for a while to settle some disputes with you."

The old man Tianmo spoke slowly and stared at King Qilin.

"Settle the dispute?"

"May I ask, senior, what did I fail to do well? I offended you."

King Qilin was a little confused.

I don’t know who invited Old Man Tianmo here. Thinking about it carefully, I don’t seem to have any enmity.

"This is Gu Jinnian, the crown prince of Daxia. He is kind to me."

"I promised to help him once. I just killed Luo Ze, the eminent monk of Ata Temple. I came to see you by the way."

Old Man Tianmo's voice was calm.

He directly said that Gu Jinnian asked him to come.

There is no other reason. The main reason is that the affairs of Atta Temple cannot be concealed. When the time comes, everyone in the world will know that the eminent monk Luo Ze died in his own hands.

When the time comes, everyone in the world will know that the old demon is Gu Jinnian's master. If this happens, it will raise a question, that is, will the heroes in the world not dare to provoke Gu Jinnian because of their own reasons?

The old man Tianmo knew very well that it was basically impossible for Gu Jinnian, a brat and a thief, to use three jade pendants honestly.

Moreover, Gu Jinnian was not only the prince of Daxia, but also a Confucian and Taoist saint of later generations, appointed by Confucius.

Normally, few people dare to target Gu Jinnian. Even if someone wants to target Gu Jinnian, generally speaking, Gu Jinnian can solve it on his own.

Old Man Tianmo doesn't want people in the world to misunderstand that he is Gu Jinnian's master.

Instead, he wanted to let the world know that he only helped Gu Jinnian once, and after this time, he would never help again.

This will make it easier for some people to trouble Gu Jinnian, and Gu Jinnian will have to use the jade pendant token to summon himself.

This is what he thinks.

"Senior, I am the prince of Daxia. Gu Jinnian and this prince only have some small grudges, nothing to do with it."

"In a few days, the Crown Prince's canonization ceremony will begin, and I will personally apologize to him. What do you think?"

King Qilin spoke.

He was wearing a ferocious mask, but his eyes looked calm.

Daxia is already preparing for the canonization ceremony. He also wants to go to Kyoto, wondering if he can resolve the grudges in this way.

"No!"

The old man Tianmo shook his head and directly rejected the other party's request.

But after the words fell, King Qilin's figure disappeared from the spot. He fled towards the desert and turned into a beam of light.

"Why bother?"

"You can't escape from my grasp."

The old man Tianmo sighed, King Qilin was quite powerful and a strong King of Martial Arts, but he was simply worthless in front of him.

It's okay to let King Qilin run away for a day, but he can't escape from his own hands anyway.

However, King Qilin did not speak and kept running towards the desert.

A full hour later.

In a desert.

King Qilin did not continue running.

But the next moment, the old man Tianmo appeared in front of him and said calmly.

"Why didn't you run away?"

Old Man Tianmo asked.

"Senior, let's vent our anger here."

"There are many people in the palace."

King Qilin said calmly.

He was very calm. Old Man Tianmo would not kill him. After all, he was a king with a different surname in Daxia, and there was no need for Old Man Tianmo to do this.

It was nothing more than beating himself up to vent Gu Jinnian's anger.

Therefore, he came to such a deserted place to reduce the impact.

Hearing this, Old Man Tianmo couldn't help but become slightly silent.

He really didn't expect that King Qilin would have such thoughts.

It's really a bit different.

Anyone who can become the Prince of Daxia is indeed no ordinary person.

At this moment.

Daxia Kyoto.

Gu Jinnian took back the Immortal King's jade chariot. He didn't want to be too high-profile, so he and Kong Xuan were hundreds of miles away from Kyoto.

The two of them walked forward, and Gu Jinnian was thinking about one thing along the way.

That's what drowning is all about.

When he drowned, the biggest suspects were Yang Hanrou and Zhang Yun, but subsequent investigations revealed that these two people had no motive.

So this thing has a sense of mystery.

Following Li Lengqiu's information, Gu Jinnian roughly understood the cause and effect.

On the northwest border, there is a case of killing people and pretending to be bandits. Sooner or later, this kind of thing will be unstoppable, and there are definitely many people involved.

There are many officials like Xu Jian, who will cause trouble one day.

Therefore, in order to protect themselves, this group of people focused on 'war'.

This perfectly explains why some people want to go to war. Once there is a war and the Daxia Dynasty launches a war, no matter what they do.

We should put them all behind first, and then deal with them one by one after the war is over.

But once the war is over and the Great Xia Dynasty loses, these generals will be even less able to move. If they are moved again, it will be detrimental to the Great Xia Dynasty.

If they win, they will have a gold medal to avoid death. After all, they are heroes. They just won the war. To exaggerate, they are huge heroes and the mainstay of the Great Xia Dynasty.

If you are punished or implicated at the same time, it is to kill the hero. After all, you kill the people and pretend to be bandits. You don't have complete evidence, you only know part of the information.

You must not act rashly.

Combining the above, if you want to start a war, it is best to start with yourself.

If you die.

The Gu family will definitely be furious and will definitely quarrel with the civil officials. When the time comes, they will target him without distinction. Regardless of whether he is a civil servant or a military general, as long as there is suspicion, the old man will take action.

As a result, the entire Daxia court would be extremely nervous. In order to stabilize the court, Emperor Yongsheng had to send the old man to the border to fight against the Huns.

If the old man doesn't agree, an internal war is about to break out. If the old man agrees, an external war is about to break out.

That's the benefit of letting yourself drown.

After figuring this out, Gu Jinnian completely understood the cause and effect of everything.

The Marquis of Sheyang participated in the killing of people and pretended to be bandits, and he was not just a simple participant, he was one of the leaders.

So in order to cause the Great Xia War, Sheyang Marquis asked his son, Wu An, to poison himself.

However, what none of them expected was that they would survive. This was a variable that they did not expect.

Gu Jinnian can pretty much guess what will happen next, and that is what happened in Jiangning County.

The floods broke out, triggered civil strife, and cooperated with the Huns to come to make peace. The purpose of all these things was for 'war'.

What a pity.

These plans were all shattered one by one.

After understanding the cause and effect, Gu Jinnian finally understood how big this situation was.

Sure enough, there is no reasonless hate or love in this world.

However, Gu Jinnian plans to inform His Majesty and the old man about this matter and let them handle it personally.

I'm afraid there are more officials involved than imagined, and it would be bad for me to get involved in such a fight.

With his own temper, he would bully people all the way and kill everyone he saw.

Killing can solve some of the troubles, but it cannot solve all the troubles. It will also make it difficult for His Majesty and the old man to deal with it.

Now, after returning to Beijing, I just need to attend the canonization ceremony and devote myself to developing the economy.

This is fundamental.

Of course, the first batch of people still have to be killed. It is impossible to pretend not to know, otherwise, I am afraid that more innocent people will be killed in the hands of these beasts.

Withdrawing his mind, he looked up and saw that he had almost arrived in Kyoto.

On the official road.

Kong Xuan has remained silent and kept pace with himself.

"Brother Kong, have you ever been to Jixia Academy?"

The two of them were walking on the official road. Perhaps out of boredom, Gu Jinnian opened his mouth and asked Kong Xuan about this matter to find a topic.

“Been there once.”

Kong Xuan nodded and said this.

"How does it feel?"

Gu Jinnian asked aloud. It was calculated that he would be going to Jixia Academy in a while. Naturally, he had to prepare a few things in advance.

"Jixia Academy is the holy place for reading in the world. Everyone in the academy is a contemporary scholar, and they are proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting."

"Moreover, there are many handwritten notes by sages in the academy, which are indescribably wonderful. It is our number one holy place for Confucianism and Taoism. Even the Confucius Mansion cannot compare to Jixia Academy."

"The Kong family even wanted to copy a school, but they found it difficult to do, so they gave up."

Kong Xuan answered.

Gu Jinnian only had sporadic information about Jixia Academy. He only knew that this place was a place that scholars all over the world dreamed of visiting.

Now that he heard what Kong Xuan said, Gu Jinnian knew better.

Jixia Academy is still centered on academic disputes. The biggest advantage of the Confucius House is Confucius.

This is the golden signboard of the Confucius family. The paths of the two are completely different. One is a family of saints, and the other is a school. Scholars all over the world naturally want to make a pilgrimage to the Confucius family. If they can become a member of the Confucian family, this is the best.

, you can use the power of the Kong family to help you.

However, Jixia Academy is the purest place for scholars. Here, scholars can raise their doubts and someone will answer them.

Or publish your own academic articles and become your own school.

It is equivalent to a place of trial.

All scholars, after becoming a great Confucian, or having Confucianism and Taoism experience, if they want to be recognized by others, they must go to Jixia Academy.

It’s not that this article was recognized by people all over the world only because Jixia Academy recognized it, but that Jixia Academy is a big stage, a stage for scholars.

The place where scholars all over the world pay attention to, and every move made by scholars all over the world will pay attention to it.

It's better than being unknown and publishing your own article in a village.

No matter how good the article is, it will not have a big impact.

"Brother Jinnian, I am going to Jixia Academy this time. Brother Yu is very much looking forward to his overturning the literary world."

Kong Xuan spoke out, his eyes full of expectation.

"Just subvert the literary world."

"This is my first time going to Jixia Academy. I just want to see more and learn more."

Gu Jinnian doesn't have such sweet dreams.

Jixia Academy is not a poetry conference, just reciting a few lines of poetry will do the trick.

After you speak out your knowledge.

It must be explained clearly, at least logically, and then a group of people will come to question you, saying that being direct is just to pick on you.

It's not the kind of polite way to pick a fight with you, but a very insidious way to prove that what you said is worthless.

Yes, it will hit you.

And you must not be angry, or in other words, you can be angry, but you cannot allow others to find fault.

After all, in the eyes of the people of the world, a new knowledge must be tempered. If it cannot withstand beating, then there is something wrong with the knowledge itself.

This is also the reason why it is difficult for new scholarship to emerge. Often when you think of a few good things, you will face various blows when you mention them.

Then I go every year, and the result is two.

Or, you eventually find that there is indeed a problem with your knowledge, so give up.

Or, you finally complete your knowledge and gain unanimous recognition from everyone. You are famous, but the question is, how many people are willing to learn from you?

There definitely is, quantity determines everything.

You have worked hard and worked hard, but after being recognized but unable to promote it, this is the saddest thing.

It is precisely because of these reasons that it is difficult for new learning to be born, and most scholars still follow the path of the four previous saints.

There is ready-made knowledge in front of you. Come here to learn new knowledge from you. It's okay if you succeed. If you don't succeed, your life will be wasted. No one dares to gamble with his own future.

"Brother Jinnian."

"You are too humble. You can say that those who set up their minds for heaven and earth, how can they not have new learning?"

"But it's my first time to go there. It's really better to study hard. After all, my brother is still young and has plenty of time."

The typical Kong Xuan is Gu Jinnian's little fanboy.

Gu Jinnian didn't say anything.

in this way.

The two came to Daxia Kyoto.

"Brother Kong, Brother Yu, please go to the palace. If anything happens, you can go to the academy to find me."

Arrive in Kyoto.

Gu Jinnian bid farewell to Kong Xuan.

"Okay, brother, if you go to Jixia Academy, remember to take me with you. I really want to go to Daxia Academy during this time to talk to Mr. Wenjing about something."

"good."

"Brother Kong, I will go to the palace and inform His Majesty about your Kong family's affairs, please don't worry."

Gu Jinnian nodded.

Gu Jinnian had a good impression of Kong Xuan. After all, this man was sensible, and coupled with his grievances with the Kong family, it was almost the same.

He also suffered a loss, and the Kong family also suffered a loss.

Reconciliation is naturally the best.

Of course, the main reason is that Gu Jinnian doesn't want to waste time on the Kong family.

"Thank you, brother Jinnian."

"Then I'll take my leave first, my foolish brother."

Kong Xuan was very happy, bowed to Gu Jinnian, and left the place after saying that.

As Kong Xuan left, Gu Jinnian also went straight to the palace.

In Daxia Kyoto.

Gu Jinnian came back very low-key, without any fanfare, and went straight to the palace.

When they arrived at the palace, the guards outside the palace were all surprised.

"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."

The guards shouted in unison, but someone immediately spoke up.

"Why should I call you Prince? I call you Lord Marquis."

Everyone still didn't react. They were used to calling the prince the same name in the past, and it would be difficult to change their words for a while.

"No need to be polite."

Gu Jinnian nodded towards everyone, with a gentle expression on his face, and walked directly towards the palace.

In the whole world, there is only one person, Gu Jinnian, who can enter the palace at will.

Gu Jin entered the palace on his forefoot.

Inside the Yangxin Hall.

Emperor Yongsheng knew the news.

"Jin Nian has entered the palace?"

Emperor Yongsheng was very happy when he learned that Gu Jinnian had entered the palace.

"Back to Your Majesty, the Marquis has already entered the palace and will be there in less than half a quarter of an hour."

Wei Xian replied with a smile.

"good."

Emperor Yongsheng was all smiles. Gu Jinnian had been away for a long time. Fortunately, he did not miss the Lantern Festival.

The entire Ministry of Rites is also rushing to complete the canonization ceremony on the Lantern Festival, so there should be no problem.

After a while.

A voice sounded outside.

"My lord, Gu Jinnian, pays homage to His Majesty. May our Emperor live long, long live."

Outside the Yangxin Hall.

Gu Jinnian's voice sounded.

"Enter."

Emperor Yongsheng did not pretend, he stood up directly and greeted him with a smile on his face.

After Gu Jinnian appeared, Emperor Yongsheng's voice couldn't help but sound.

"Jin Nian."

"Why don't you say hello when you come back? I'm already prepared to greet you in person, why do you come so low-key?"

Emperor Yongsheng spoke.

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report, so please hurry up."

Entering the main hall, Gu Jinnian did not show a smile, but with a serious face, telling Emperor Yongsheng something.

After hearing this, Emperor Yongsheng immediately understood that Gu Jinnian was probably on something serious.

At that moment, he made a look, and Wei Xian and the two men immediately exited the hall and looked at Gu Jinnian.

"Say, something happened?"

"Is it a Buddhist thing?"

Emperor Yongsheng asked directly and thought it was a matter of Buddhism. After all, Gu Jinnian dispatched 300,000 troops to Atta Temple, although he later asked this army to come back.

But there must be something wrong.

"Buddhism doesn't have any big problems."

"Your Majesty, I have killed Li Lengqiu and got some news."

Gu Jinnian spoke up and answered like this.

"Did you kill Li Lengqiu?"

"This is impossible."

"Senior Monk Luo Ze is a peerless expert in Buddhism. How could you possibly kill Monk Luo Ze?"

Hearing this, Emperor Yongsheng was shocked and felt a little unbelievable.

"His Majesty."

"The extremely powerful man of the Demon Sect wanted to accept me as his disciple, so he gave me three jade pendants. As long as I crush them, I can make him take action once."

Gu Jinnian did not elaborate, but when he said this, his uncle also understood.

Sure enough, after hearing these words, Emperor Yongsheng suddenly understood.

However, he frowned, feeling somewhat stressed for no reason.

"Just kill him. This kind of person deserves to die. I know what mistakes he made. Even if he falls into my hands, I will not let him go. I will just use another method."

Emperor Yongsheng didn't think anything about what Gu Jinnian did, so he just killed him. What could he do?

After all, he is his nephew, and Li Lengqiu is dead and Gu Jinnian is still alive. Even if Emperor Yongsheng does not want Li Lengqiu to die, he will not offend Gu Jinnian.

Of course, there are other hidden meanings in his words, and the last half of the sentence is the key point.

Gu Jinnian could hear it, so he spoke out.

"Your Majesty, Li Lengqiu not only killed people in Ruinian Village, but was also involved in killing people and pretending to be bandits."

"Before Li Lengqiu died, he told me that Marquis Sheyang was the main culprit. As for the incident at Bailu Mansion, it involved Buddhism and the Huns. Although I don't know what conspiracy was hidden in the incident at Bailu Mansion, I just asked your Majesty to investigate it thoroughly.

"

Gu Jinnian spoke up and informed Emperor Yongsheng of this important news.

"Killing civilians and pretending to be bandits, is Marquis Sheyang the main culprit?"

Emperor Yongsheng couldn't calm down this time. Li Lengqiu killed people and became bandits. He didn't care. It's not that he really didn't care about the people, but it was normal for a playboy like Li Lengqiu to kill innocent people indiscriminately and use them to pay for the money after killing them.

It can only be said that Li Lengqiu is extremely brave.

Now he deserves it.

But if this matter involves a prince of Daxia, it is not a trivial matter.

A marquis is also involved, which means that he is not the only one, and many forces are involved. In other words, the people who died are not just a few hundred people, but probably thousands of people, or even more.

"Marquis Sheyang?"

Emperor Yongsheng chewed the name over and over again, thinking about something in his mind.

After a while.

Emperor Yongsheng's eyes showed a sparkle, as if he had thought of it for a moment, his eyes couldn't help but fall on Gu Jinnian.

Obviously, Emperor Yongsheng had the same guess as Gu Jinnian and guessed who was causing trouble in the court.

"Damn."

"It's really so courageous."

After a while, Emperor Yongsheng thought more carefully. He knew more information than Gu Jinnian, so the causes and consequences appeared in front of him instantly, and he also guessed many things.

Inside the Yangxin Hall.

Gu Jinnian acted very calmly.

After Emperor Yongsheng finished his guess, Gu Jinnian finally spoke.

"His Majesty."

"Nowadays, the people in the northwest are suffering. Since the battle of Luolongyuan, the Xiongnu Kingdom has not been able to pose a threat to our Daxia Dynasty in a short period of time. Your Majesty can take action. After thoroughly investigating this matter, you can also control the two northwest territories.

territory."

Gu Jinnian spoke out, his voice slightly seductive.

indeed.

Now the foreign troubles of the Great Xia Dynasty have been solved by Gu Jinnian.

Now there is only one problem left, and that is internal worries.

Putting aside the livelihood of the people for now, the power struggle is the core. If you want to make the dynasty prosperous, you must complete the centralization of power. Once the power is in hand, it is a great good thing for the entire country.

Who dares to disobey the imperial edict?

And what is the biggest internal worry? Isn't it the problem of the two northwest territories? King Ning and King Qilin are eyeing each other. King Qilin is okay, he just has a good relationship with King Ning, but there is no trace of rebellion.

But the heart of King Ning is known to everyone on the road.

However, after all, Prince Ning is the biggest minister who obeys the dragon, and he has a strong background. If he really wants to fight with Prince Ning, to be honest, there will definitely be chaos inside.

In fact, there is nothing to fear from internal chaos. What I am afraid of is that when internal chaos occurs, external troubles will appear.

Therefore, the Daxia Dynasty's policy towards King Ning was very simple.

boil.

Boiled King Ning to death.

Rebellion is not just a rebellion if you want to. After all, the right time, place, and people are indispensable, and anything less will lead to failure.

Unless Prince Ning is running after me and it doesn't matter if I am the emperor or not, he just wants to disgust you forever. Otherwise, if Prince Ning wants to rebel, he must gather his strength, mobilize public opinion, and find the right time to take action.

Otherwise, don't even think about it.

Therefore, killing Li Lengqiu is not a good thing.

This gave King Ning a chance to rebel.

Now this killing of people and pretending to be bandits is indeed a thousand-year opportunity. If we seize this and take out all the evidence of the crime and make it public, Prince Ning will definitely lose the support of the people.

Once the charges are proven, even if King Ning wants to rebel, it will be difficult.

Therefore, it was impossible for Emperor Yongsheng not to be moved.

However, Emperor Yongsheng still sighed.

"Jinnian, things in the northwest are not as simple as imagined."

"Even if I investigate thoroughly and find out that this matter is related to Prince Ning, what will happen? It will just force him to rebel directly."

"He could have declared to the outside world that I wanted to kill him, so I just found a reason."

Emperor Yongsheng was very moved when he spoke out, but what he understood even more was that at the level of Prince Ning, whether you convict him or not convict him would have no effect.

Whether people believe it or not is one question, and whether they can find evidence is another question.

People who have never rebelled may not understand, but for those who have rebelled, Emperor Yongsheng knows it very well.

As long as public opinion is not one-sided, you can rebel.

Being one-sided is truly terrifying, and taking advantage of people's sympathy is enough.

After all, the common people don't want rebellion to happen, to put it bluntly, but if it happens, what ability do they have to stop it?

I can only hope that the fight will be over soon, and no matter who wins, they can just settle down.

It is precisely for this reason that the imperial court thought about it and finally decided to endure it.

Suffer King Ning to death.

"I understand."

"However, as long as your Majesty investigates this matter thoroughly, I will have a way to completely resolve the feudal feud."

Gu Jinnian spoke calmly, his eyes full of determination.

"Completely solve the feudal feud?"

"Jinnian? What are you talking about?"

"This is not nonsense."

This time, Emperor Yongsheng could not sit still.

I thought that Gu Jinnian was angry because of Prince Ning's affairs, but I didn't expect that Gu Jinnian actually said that he could completely solve the feudal king's chaos?

The rebellion of the feudal lords was the biggest trouble of the Great Xia Dynasty. If it could be solved, future generations could follow suit. This would be a great good thing.

Emperor Yongsheng looked at Gu Jinnian, his eyes straightened.

"His Majesty."

"I have a plan, called the Tweeting Order."

Gu Jinnian spoke up.

He expressed his thoughts.

The rebellion of vassal kings is nothing more than the centralization of power in feudal lands and the formation of local emperors, similar to vassal states.

Taizu Taizu of Daxia now enfeoffed the land and let his descendants guard it. He just wanted his own family to take care of their own affairs.

It's a reasonable thing to be selfish.

But the fault lies with you.

For Confucianism and Taoism, as long as the emperor is not an outsider, it is nothing more than the eldest son ascending to the throne or the younger son ascending to the throne. If he encounters a loyal minister, he would rather die than surrender. But how can most officials or scholars have such character?

Gu Jinnian may not have such character.

As for Taizu, he must have considered the chaos caused by the vassal king, but Taizu was also a human being. After all, even if something he didn't want to see happened, the dynasty still belonged to the Li family.

Since it belongs to the Li family, what can you say?

To say the least, being able to be rebelled by one's own family also proves that the emperor is useless. Rather than falling into the hands of outsiders, it is better not to let the wealth flow to outsiders.

Gu Jinnian has every reason to believe that Taizu had this idea back then.

Of course, many restrictions were also set. The vassal king could not enter the capital at will. Entering the capital was a serious crime of treason.

But these things are useless. In front of the real rebels, some textual loopholes can always be found.

It's just that the order of grace is different.

Pushing the order of favor can effectively solve the feudal king's rebellion.

"Tweet the grace order?"

"Tell me in detail."

Emperor Yongsheng seemed to be listening attentively. He looked at Gu Jinnian, looking forward to this grace order.

"His Majesty."

"This plan is extremely simple."

"Your Majesty only needs to issue an imperial edict. From now on, the distinction between eldest and younger vassal kings will be abolished. The eldest son will inherit 50% of the family property, including the title, while the second son will inherit the remaining 50% of the family property, plus he can also be granted a title."

"Support the young son and the concubine, and recognize each other. Within twenty years, there will no longer be a solemn king in Daxia."

"It's just that, if this plan is to completely put an end to the feudal rebellion, Your Majesty must do three things."

Gu Jinnian spoke up and revealed the content of the grace order.

Pushing the favor order is the number one conspiracy throughout the ages, and its content is very simple. Even anyone with any brains will know the evil nature of this strategy.

In feudal society, it is generally passed down from elder to younger. After King Ning's death, King Ning's son, Li Lengqiu, could inherit the title of King Ning, and all the troops and horses were controlled by Li Lengqiu.

As for Li Lengxin, there is nothing, at least the court will not give him any titles, but if the family relationship is good, Li Lengqiu will also give him some rewards, which is equivalent to giving him a small part of the family property.

This is considered family harmony.

If the family is not harmonious, I will basically support you or let you run the business.

Letting you live a lifetime of glory and wealth is already worthy of you.

When encountering some ruthless children, half-brothers and sisters, they should be killed, imprisoned, and sent out for marriage. There is no ambiguity at all.

You have no right to speak.

Naturally, except for the eldest son, all the descendants of the powerful are dissatisfied, but what can they do if they are dissatisfied?

I can only lower my head and pretend to be dead.

But if the imperial court issued an imperial edict, then it would be up to the vassal kings to decide what they would think.

Except for Prince Ning, who among the other powerful nobles of the feudal lords did not give birth to more than a dozen sons? It is not surprising that some powerful princes would give birth to hundreds of descendants.

The imperial court issued an imperial edict to support them. Once the old man dies, they can legitimately fight for the family property.

Including their mother, they will do their best to fight for the family property. If you don't give it, then I will go to Beijing to file a complaint.

The court is here to deal with you.

What? You eldest sons are not convinced? Are you united and want to rebel?

No problem, how much does it cost to rebel? Are your soldiers willing to bring their whole family to rebel with you?

It's easy to say if it succeeds, but if it doesn't, your whole family will die.

At this time, the Second Young Master, the Third Young Master, the Fourth Young Master, the Second Madam, the Third Madam, and the Fourth Madam all came forward one after another to say something in front of these unsettled soldiers.

Why do you need to rebel? Otherwise, you can just take the eldest son away, and we can work together to help you move up the ladder?

After hearing this, how many people can resist it?

Even if this subordinate is loyal, fine, go directly to the deputy general.

Brother, do you want to become a regular employee?

A matter of words.

Everything is profit. To put it bluntly, if the emperor does not benefit the people below him, he will still be rebelled against.

If the ministers have no power and the emperor monopolizes the power, he does everything himself, and cannot tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes. If he works hard for three years and is left in the ordinary world, he will either die suddenly or drown.

In this world, it probably wouldn't be much different.

Ask yourself, among all the aristocratic classes in the entire Daxia Dynasty, how many of them did not enjoy the benefits of the powerful?

Open everyone's shoes. How many of them don't have mud on their shoes?

Even the Gu family can't be clean, and even the saintly family can't do it.

This is the law of heaven.

Emperor Yongsheng immediately understood what this grace order meant.

Let these powerful people fight among themselves, and it is also a fight between father and son, wives and concubines.

In the eyes of outsiders, these princes and marquises are all first-class existences, aloof and aloof, but within the family, they are not the same as human beings?

If I blow some wind on my pillow, I will feel numb.

In addition, the eldest son is important, but other sons are not sons? Maybe some eldest sons are not as good as other sons.

This is a heart attack strategy.

This is a conspiracy.

What an unsolvable conspiracy.

Emperor Yongsheng could not control his excitement. He could already imagine what the expressions of princes everywhere would be like if this plan were to be implemented.

However, Emperor Yongsheng was very curious about the three things Gu Jinnian said.

"you say."

"I listen."

Emperor Yongsheng suppressed his inner excitement and asked what Gu Jinnian said.

"His Majesty."

"Whether the extension order can be truly implemented depends entirely on when His Majesty issues the imperial edict."

“But implementation and effectiveness are the most important.”

"Once the imperial edict is passed on, I am afraid that it will arouse the resentment of these vassal kings. This is very likely to be an opportunity for them to criticize. When the time comes, they will force the court to either abolish it or they will rebel. Your Majesty must think about this.

clear."

Gu Jinnian said one of them.

"I understand this."

"This order of grace can not only quell the feudal king's rebellion, but it may also trigger the feudal king's rebellion."

"Therefore, before extending the grace order, I must kill the chicken to scare the monkey."

Emperor Yongsheng spoke up, he understood what Gu Jinnian meant.

Anyone with a discerning eye will know what this imperial edict is, and it will inevitably arouse the feudal king's rebellious heart, and it is very likely that he will be led astray by someone with intentions.

After all, today is an order to extend grace, and tomorrow it is very likely to be an order to reduce vassal status.

"I thought of it."

"Kill the people and turn them into bandits, attack the two northwest territories, and announce this matter to the world. At the critical moment, leave some room and do not press too hard, and then issue the order of favor."

Emperor Yongsheng just thought for a moment and came up with the key point.

If the favor order is taken out, it will inevitably cause controversy among the vassal kings.

But before the favor order was issued, he exaggerated the killing of people and pretended to be bandits, executed all the principal culprits, redressed the injustice of the people, and pointed the finger at the vassal kings everywhere.

Regardless of whether they participate or not, everyone must be in danger.

At the critical moment, if you step back and issue the favor order again, although you are still unhappy, these vassal kings will choose to accept it compared to continuing to make trouble like this.

After all, at that time, the public opinion of the people was definitely not small.

No one dared to go against the people, not even King Ning.

"Your Majesty is wise."

Gu Jinnian gave a polite compliment.

If someone who can be an emperor doesn't have this level of IQ, then he can really be replaced by someone else.

"Secondly, if the favor order is decentralized, the court must always pay attention to it. The powerful people whose families have been separated must re-divide their families. The powerful people whose families are about to be separated must intervene in the separation."

"In this way, a group of people can effectively take advantage, and then the court will secretly support them, grant them titles and land, and symbolically give them some formal robes, jade chariots and mounts."

"In this way, more people will be envious and they can sit quietly on Diaoyutai."

Gu Jinnian made the second point.

This is critical.

After everything has been done, we must let such a powerful person have fun and show off everywhere. The court will give money, fiefdoms, special dresses, jade pendants, and tokens.

Don’t the powerful just like to use this kind of thing to show off?

If this takes a few rounds, can the second and third young masters of other princes and princes withstand it?

I can't stand it at all.

At that time, the Great Xia Dynasty did not have to do anything, and could just watch the quarrels in the families of the major vassals. No matter how quarrelsome they were, it was best to make them quarrel loudly.

As long as you don't take action, the imperial court will never interfere. After you finish arguing, the imperial court will be fair and just about how to divide the feudal clans.

The more fierce the quarrel, the more violently this powerful power collapsed, and several brothers and sisters never interacted with each other until they died.

But the court was not afraid of their disobedience.

Because they all want to continue to hold power, a Prince Ning may not be afraid of the court, but if Prince Ning's power is divided into ten forces, then they will not dare to do anything to the court and can only work honestly.

Whoever dares to rebel will be killed by the imperial court, and whoever takes his fiefdom will be able to quell the troubles everywhere without losing any blood.

This is the human heart.

To extend grace is to target people's hearts.

The greatest conspiracy of all time.

The more Emperor Yongsheng listened, the more excited he became. The more he listened, the more excited he became.

"Jin Nian."

"What about the third point?"

Emperor Yongsheng asked.

"Your Majesty, this third point is even more important."

"Kill King Ning."

Gu Jinnian spoke calmly.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yongsheng fell silent.

Kill the king?

"What does this mean?"

Emperor Yongsheng was a little confused. In theory, this extension of grace was enough, so why should he kill Prince Ning?

If the push order continues to be implemented.

At least half of Prince Ning's rebellion plan was gone, because by that time, few princes would respond to Prince Ning.

It's not that they don't dare, it's that their descendants don't want to.

In the past, except for the eldest son, no one else had much power and did not have a good life. Therefore, when the family rebelled, they were willing to fight. If the fight was successful, they would be able to take power.

Now, you can share the throne without doing anything. Why rebel when you have enough to eat and nothing to do?

So no one will support Prince Ning.

Why do you still want to kill King Ning?

"His Majesty."

"Only by killing Prince Ning can the order of grace be truly implemented."

"Otherwise, it will be just an imperial edict after all."

"Only an order of grace stained with the king's blood can intimidate the vassal kings everywhere."

Gu Jinnian spoke up.

After saying this, he remained silent and just bowed to Emperor Yongsheng.

Tweet the order of grace.

The reason why it can be called the number one conspiracy of all time is not because this strategy has no flaws.

But this strategy takes advantage of people's hearts.

But one of the most critical issues is that the emperor must have absolute power, and all princes and vassals must be afraid of this emperor.

In the face of absolute strength, the push order can work wonders.

If King Ning is killed, all the feudal kings in the world will have no choice but to accept it honestly and sincerely.

Three generations later, the feudal feud was completely resolved.

But don’t kill King Ning.

After all, it is just an imperial edict.

If you really want to rebel, at worst, wouldn't it be enough to kill all your immediate family members except the prince before you rebel?

Be ruthless, what are you afraid of?

King Ning must die.

It is time for Daxia to establish its imperial power.

Emperor Yongsheng was quiet for thirteen years.

It is indeed time to draw the sword once.

Inside the Yangxin Hall.

Emperor Yongsheng seemed extremely quiet.

He understood what Gu Jinnian meant.

Half an hour passed.

The voice of Emperor Yongsheng could not help but sound.

"This matter."

"I understand."

"Jin Nian."

"This plan of yours is truly the greatest conspiracy of all time."

Emperor Yongsheng seemed to have made a decision in his heart.

But he did not answer Gu Jinnian, but praised Gu Jinnian's strategy.

It is difficult to guess the emperor's thoughts.

Gu Jinnian didn't know exactly how his old uncle made his choice.

But what he knew was that even if he did not kill Prince Ning, he, as an old uncle, would never let Prince Ning go for this favor order.
