"None of them!"
Jiang Tian leisurely sipped his tea and calmly said: "In my opinion, it should be the late emperor!"
"Late emperor? The Dongfang Jie that has been missing for five hundred years! "
Lin Hanqing turned pale with fright: "Impossible? Is he still alive? "
"Late emperor Dongfang Jie, who is he? How come there is no record of him in the history books? "
Lin Yang had an adorable expression.
"Ugly and useless, you should read more books!"
Lin Hanqing glared at him and said:
"Dongfang Jie is Dongfang Lu's older brother. The crown prince of that year smoothly inherited the throne five hundred years ago. However, in the first year of his ascension, he ordered the removal of the feudal vassals and changed the enfeoffment system to a county system. The Dukes and Marquis families were changed to idle families. Their living expenses were the same as the royal family's and were distributed by the royal treasury … "
Lin Hanqing's expression was serious as if he had returned to the distant past, to the glorious years of bloody battles. He said:
"That time, three Dukes and twenty-eight Marquises, a total of thirty-one feudal vassals rebelled. Of the four Dukes, other than Duke Nan, all rebelled! The imperial army and the allied forces of the feudal lords fought a bloody battle for three years. Millions of people died in battle, and the people were plunged into misery and suffering. Finally, the imperial capital was breached, and the thirty-one feudal lords occupied the imperial city. They elected the weak-willed Eastern Lu as the emperor and installed a new ruler. Only then did this dynasty come into being. Dongfang Jie was defeated like a landslide and fled to the Evil Infested Ridge. He was attacked by the feudal vassals and his fate is unknown! Could it be that Dongfang Jie didn't die and came back? "
"I don't know!"
Jiang Tian smiled:
"The dead person shouldn't be Dongfang Jie. But he must be someone from the Dongfang Royal Family and held an important position! "
"Yes, he didn't want the feudal vassals to rise, but he was worried that they would rebel again and seize the throne. Thus, he didn't hesitate to commit suicide. No matter what, the meat needs to rot in the pot. Whether it's Dongfang Jie's world or Dongfang Lu's world, it can't belong to the feudal vassals! "
Lin Hanqing said with an absent-minded gaze.
"In fact, the royal family supported Dongfang Jie in the past. Even now, many of them still promote the county system and despise the feudal system. "
Jiang Tian nodded slightly.
"This is also the reality. There are many drawbacks to the feudal system. For example, the Eastern Gorge Duke and the Northern Frontier Duke don't pay tribute, leaving the national treasury empty. Even the Second Highness, who controls the Imperial Trading Company, can't afford a single Sunfall Stone. However, none of the nobles can afford it, yet they still dare to raise the price. Moreover, you all have your own troops! "
"Also, the title of nobility is hereditary. For example, Brother Lin Yang is a good-for-nothing. He can't write to pacify the world, and he can't kill the enemy and protect the people. However, he sits on an endless family property, enjoys beautiful wives and concubines, and can also eat and drink well. Commoners simply don't have the chance to advance! "
"Whoa! Where are my beautiful wives and concubines? Send it to me! Dongfang Jie's men are here to assassinate your precious daughter, and you still think that he's reasonable! "
Lin Yang angrily said in a depressed manner.
"Those who are kind to me are good, and those who are evil are evil. Since Dongfang Jie dared to attack my daughter and the Lin Family, I will definitely kill him. However, objectively speaking, the county system is indeed more advantageous than the feudal system. "
Jiang Tian was very detached and fair about this.
Suddenly, Lin Yang asked, "What kind of role does the Purple Marquis play in this dispute?"
"Haha, I've underestimated this person!"
Jiang Tian said with a smile that was not a smile.
"Originally, I thought that the Purple Marquis only wanted to merge and expand, and even betray the Dongfang Imperial Family one day. But now, it seems that he is Dongfang Jie's shit-stirrer to stir up conflict. Even if he wants to expand, in the end, he will have to give up his land and change it to a county. "
"Tsk tsk, this kid has some political ideals!" Lin Yang didn't know if he was disdainful or admiring.
Jiang Tian smiled leisurely and said, "However, this is all my guess, and I can't be sure. Whether it's true or not, we have to wait for the Hidden Dragon Trials! "
"Hidden Dragon Trials?"
Lin Hanqing and his son were confused.
"In the previous Hidden Dragon Trials, they used testing equipment to test one's cultivation. It was very gentle. But if someone in the Imperial Family wants to remove the vassals again, they will use actual combat and fight to the death! "
Hearing Jiang Tian's words, Lin Yang was so scared that his face turned pale.
"Damn, then if I meet Yang Xuan or some other genius, won't I be beaten to death?"
Lin Yang exclaimed.
"That's exactly what I want! If you don't want to die, give up your land! "
Jiang Tian said with a smile.
"Also, it seems cruel, but there will definitely be people who support it. For example, the Duke of Eastern Gorge, the Duke of Northern Frontier, the Marquis of Purple Marquis, and other powerful Dukes and Marquis. Not only can they take the land of the loser, but they can also kill the loser and eliminate all future troubles. Isn't that perfect? "
However, Jiang Tian's smile made people feel that it was very cruel.
"At that time, there will be two situations. First, the powerful Dukes will merge with the smaller Dukes, and gradually, they will be able to challenge the Imperial Family. Second, the defeated Dukes will have to give up their land after losing people. Why would they agree? There will definitely be a war between Dukes and Dukes. "
Lin Hanqing's heart was cold as he said with a trembling voice.
"The powerful Dukes and Marquis have not completed the merger, but they have already lost countless people and their strength has been greatly damaged."
"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind! At that time, the Imperial Family experts that Dongfang Jie has been raising for five hundred years will come out in the name of quelling the rebellion. They will wipe out all the Dukes and implement the county system. The Dukes and Dukes will become the dust of history! "
"Exactly!"
Jiang Tian nodded approvingly.
"The Era of Great War is coming!"
Lin Hanqing and his son were uneasy, but they were also a little excited.
"It's fine. We'll deal with it as it comes. As long as we become stronger, we will be invincible! The most important thing now is to cure the Princess's illness. "
Jiang Tian said with a smile. There was something he didn't say. He still had to secretly hunt down Dongfang Jie. If he dared to assassinate his daughter, he would be tired of living.
"Yes, yes, yes." Lin Hanqing also felt that there were many things to do, but they had to be done step by step.
"Also. Let's not talk about my cooperation with the Ancient Medicine Hall. It's strictly confidential! "
Jiang Tian said with a smile, "Some people in the Dongfang Royal Family hate the Dukes and Marquis families that have connections with the sect. The rafters that stick out will rot first. We should keep a low profile for now. Let's put aside the matter of Dai Er entering the Nine Mysteries Sect for now! "
Jiang Tian casually taught her a cultivation method. Wouldn't it be much better than the Nine Mysteries Sect?
Lin Hanqing didn't hesitate and repeatedly agreed.
…
After the banquet ended, Jiang Tian rejected the Lin Hanqing and his son's offer to send him off. He left the Marquis Mansion with his hands behind his back and slowly walked towards the Windy Moon Courtyard.
It was already late autumn. The maple trees on both sides of the road had red leaves that were like fire. There were dewdrops hanging from them. In the faint fog, the dewdrops slowly fell on the clean granite road, adding a sense of desolation.
"Sigh, I wonder what will happen to Qinger after she is brought to the Heng Yu Immortal Sect!"
Jiang Tian looked up at the starry sky. It was a starry sky that was completely different from the Milky Way. It was much more vast and profound. The stars were scattered all over the place, dazzling and dazzling.
The melancholy in his heart gradually thickened. He leisurely sighed, "The treasure of the Evil Infested Ridge will appear in three years. This indicates that I still have to walk the path of becoming a mortal for three more years! After becoming a Spirit Severing expert, I will meet up with Huang Linger and then head towards the territory of the Nine Great Immortal Sects. "
He was immersed in mourning.
Suddenly, along with a fragrant wind, a soft and pleasant voice interrupted his thoughts, "Senior, do you want to go back and rest? I'll accompany you! It just so happens that I brought some pastries for Bei Bei! "
Jiang Tian glanced at Lin Dai Er.
This girl seemed to have dressed up meticulously tonight.
Her beautiful eyebrows were lightly swept, and her beautiful eyes were shining. Her neck was encircled by a gemstone necklace, which made her jade face shine. Because the family was in mourning, she wore a black robe, which set off her snow-white skin. Her delicate body was curvaceous, slim and elegant. A subtle fragrance floated in the air, very attractive.
She also carried two boxes of pastries in her hands. With a shy and flattering smile, she said, "The chef of the Building of Pines and Cranes makes Purple Cloud Pastries. Bei Bei will definitely like it!"
"Forget it. Bei Bei likes to make his own pastries. He's very picky. You can keep them for yourself! "
Jiang Tian tactfully refused, turned around, and left.
In fact, he was extremely annoyed with this girl. However, for the sake of Lin Hanqing and his son, he didn't throw his face.
