"I am the only one who can control everything in the world. Everything else is just floating clouds. Wonderful! Especially the word 'floating clouds', it's extremely vivid. "
"Clap!"
Fang Jinlong murmured and thought. Suddenly, he slapped his thigh and said excitedly,
"It's really better to listen to your words than to study for ten years! Brother Dahei's words are simply the truth of the world! Without strength, what's the use of guarding the title and wealth? It's just a fat sheep at the mercy of others. It's futile to invite a fatal disaster! "
"If you have strength, like those masters of the saints, who have mastered the law and contacted the Great Way, you can suppress the country with the power of heaven and earth. Even if the emperor sees you, he has to kowtow three times and nine times. How free and unfettered you are!"
"It's just a piece of cake for you to get the throne. The territory of a country is also a piece of cake for you! I didn't expect Brother Dahei to have such a great insight! "
He was full of praises. He really felt like he was enlightened and had a sudden epiphany.
"Haha, it's not worth mentioning. You flatter me. You flatter me. I learned it from my master! "
Dahei was both smug and embarrassed.
"At worst, I'll start all over again!"
Lin Hanqing also figured it out in an instant.
With strength, one could have everything.
Indeed, the feudal system was not conducive to the growth and development of the Eastern Empire. It had been 3,000 years since the ancestor of the Lin family followed Dongfang Run, established the country, and was conferred the title of duke.
He couldn't lie on the merit book for the rest of his life.
If the descendants of the dukes didn't live up to expectations and just enjoyed the fruits of others' labor, not only would they block the way for the common people to rise, but the empire would also become weaker and weaker. Moreover, the descendants of the dukes would also become useless.
It was okay for a good-for-nothing like Lin Yang to be harmless to humans and animals. There were even some descendants of the dukes who were arrogant and lascivious. They took pleasure in bullying men and women, which made the people miserable and full of complaints.
In this world, there were not only contradictions between the imperial family, the dukes, and the common people within the empire!
There were also contradictions between the empire and the sects, as well as between the empire and the empire. As the saying goes, without the skin, where can the hair attach to? If the empire was weak for too long, it would be like a fat sheep walking in the jungle where wild beasts roamed. Sooner or later, other countries would see its weakness and incompetence and show their sharp claws and teeth!
However …
His train of thought was also more grounded. Obviously, it was not as magnificent as Fang Jinlong's: "As long as Lin Yang inherits one or two unique skills from the sage, even if he is only a county magistrate at the beginning, as his strength improves, he will be able to reach a high position."
"Alright, just remember the Imperial Tutor's instructions!"
Dahei nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile,
"However, I still have a little trick on my side. During the banquet, you will do your best to cooperate and put on a good show with the Emperor and the State Preceptor. As long as the Emperor or the Crown Prince shows any intention of removing your fiefs and titles, you must immediately hand over your fiefs and titles! "
"At that time, our State Preceptor will have all the reasons to use you as an example of loyalty and patriotism. It would be much more reasonable to kill those disobedient dukes! We will also give you benefits! "
A sinister and cunning expression appeared on his tanned and young face.
"Since the torrent of history is unstoppable, why don't we add fuel to the fire?"
Fang Jinlong and Lin Hanqing were both decisive people. They looked at each other and immediately agreed.
However, Lin Dai 'er's face was very ugly. She snorted coldly in her heart: "This Jiang Siqing is really vicious and hypocritical. She wants us to hand over the inheritance of our ancestors, the fiefs that we fought for with our swords and spears, and the titles that we exchanged with blood and bones. And she wants us to look very happy? She is too unscrupulous! "
"She is really a slave of three surnames. She has forgotten her roots!"
Lin Dai 'er was very annoyed.
"The State Preceptor also knows that Lin Yang and Miss Gouyu have a deep relationship. However, the Crown Prince, Dongfang Ding, is also quite fond of Miss Gouyu. I am afraid that one day, he will obstruct and even eliminate the Lin family!"
Dahei's face suddenly became cold as he said in a deep voice.
At the mention of this, the faces of Lin Hanqing and the others all changed wildly.
In fact, this was a big stone in their hearts.
A difficult problem to solve.
They had also discussed it before, but there was no solution!
They did not doubt Dongfang Ding's courage and decisiveness.
Now that the vassals were in power and each had their own ulterior motives, he still needed the Lin and Fang families. Once the vassals were pacified and he stabilized the country, he would definitely force Fang Gouyu to marry him. If the Lin family dared to resist, he would absolutely destroy them!
"As long as the Lin family shows loyalty at the housewarming banquet, the State Preceptor can immediately ask the Emperor to grant a marriage. Eastern Lu looks at the big picture and ignores personal relationships. When the time comes, even the Crown Prince can't stop him. He can only hold his nose and bear it! "
Dahei said in a deep voice.
"This is a brilliant plan!"
Lin Hanqing and Fang Jinlong both slapped their thighs, as if they had been enlightened.
At this time, Eastern Lu desperately wanted to take back the power of the vassals. This was more important than anything else.
The most ruthless royal family. In Eastern Lu's eyes, personal relationships were not even worth a mention.
In his opinion, so what if Dongfang Ding didn't marry Fang Gouyu? What was the difference between the daughters of other families?
"However, if we support the State Preceptor and voluntarily hand over our power and fiefs, what if the Emperor doesn't accept the State Preceptor's suggestion? What if the Crown Prince also resists? Who will be responsible for our family's losses? "
Lin Dai 'er questioned coldly.
Hearing this, even the usually good-tempered Guo Chuandong couldn't stand it. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth, the muscles on his face bulging.
Why was this woman so confusing? She was talking as much nonsense as farts.
Although the State Preceptor had risen from the Lin family, had he ever received any favor from the Lin family? He had been helping the Lin family all this time. The State Preceptor didn't owe the Lin family anything. He had saved you out of kindness, but it was also reasonable that he didn't save you. In the end, you were still giving him face.
"Dai 'er, don't say too much. Everything is up to the heavens. There's no such thing as a perfect plan in this world! "
Lin Hanqing said hurriedly.
"We've already engraved the State Preceptor's willingness to worry about the marriage of the Lin couple. How can we ask for more?"
Fang Jinlong also said.
It was like a drowning person was about to drown. Everyone else was either watching from the sidelines or helpless to do anything. At this time, someone was willing to help. However, the drowning person was asking the rescuer to guarantee that he would be saved. Wasn't this nonsense?
Dahei frowned and his eyes were cold.
Lin Dai 'er had always been like this. If she was facing a Sage-level expert, she would be timid, like a believer meeting a god, not daring to disobey. However, she was sure that Jiang Tian would not kill her because of his feelings for the Lin family. Therefore, she became more and more unscrupulous.
He said calmly,
"The State Preceptor's strength is obvious to all. He is respected by the world. His words can be the law of the world. As long as he proposes the county system, I'm afraid the world will regard it as a standard and scramble to be loyal to him. "
"The State Preceptor told me in advance that he doesn't really need your support. He just hopes that you can react quickly in this mighty torrent of history, seize the opportunity, and take advantage of the situation to gain something! "
"The Lin family and the Fang family are the first to support him. They will gain face and benefits. If you don't support him, you will lose face, lose your benefits, and lose real benefits! "
Dahei's tone became a little more serious. Its eyes were arrogant, as if Lin Hanqing and the others were just a group of small potatoes that it could crush by raising its hand.
"Why does the State Preceptor need the support of a few ants? Those who try to stop the chariot will be killed! "
After that, he snorted and left, leaving Lin Dai 'er stunned on the spot.
