Chapter 443
The emperor lay back in the bathtub again. The voice was gloomy: "This incident started at the end of the great war forty years ago. The fighting power of the barbarians during the war is obvious to all. After being in a desperate situation, they will definitely resist desperately when they are wiped out. When the remaining army sent by Yang Yansi to wipe out returns But there were very few casualties. At that time, I felt that something was wrong, but I didn't go into it. I just thought that the people below were slack and wanted to save the lives of the soldiers.
But now it seems that all his calculations started from then on. He, Yang Yansi, has indeed lived up to the reputation of "magic tricks and clever calculations". When it comes to layout, there are few people in the world who can match him."
The emperor's news was very timely, and the news from the lower line was transferred to him within an hour, almost in real time. So he already knew the ins and outs, and now he simply told Yang Xiusheng.
With a bang, the corner of the table was shattered by Yang Xiusheng. You couldn't help but cursed, "It's crazy!"
"It's really crazy, but it's not incomprehensible. Back road, everyone likes to prepare a back road for themselves, and the taller the person, the more they like it."
"A way out? Are you saying that Yang Yansi is the one who colludes with the barbarians and then leaves a way out for himself? Hmph, does he still want to join the barbarians one day?"
"Uncle, have you ever heard of the term Niaojin Gongzang?" Before Yang Xiusheng could answer, the emperor continued, "I just heard it mentioned, and I think these four words should best explain Yang Yansi's inner worries. It could be his motivation."
The new words that came out of the emperor's mouth were not invented by himself, but he learned them from the copper strips reported by the people below, and thought they were very appropriate and concise.
"The birds are exhausted?" Yang Xiusheng read this new word once, and then he understood in his heart that even if it is literal, it can represent a very possible crisis in Yang Yansi's body.
If all the birds have been killed, why do we need bows and arrows?
To put it another way, the enemies have all been killed, so what are the soldiers to do? Too much food and can't finish it?
This truth is simple but easily overlooked. There are even fewer plans for possible troughs in the future when they are at their peak.
Yang Xiusheng also couldn't help agreeing with the emperor's "magical plan" in his heart. Forty years ago, Yang Yansi was preparing for the "bird's end" that might appear in the future, and he really had the courage to do it when it came to the end .
"However, since he has arranged it for so many years in advance, why did it only start to be implemented in recent years?" Yang Xiusheng still had doubts.
"because I."
"Um?"
"Uncle, you have also seen that my body can't last long. Although no one knows how long I can live, but I know that I should arrange the funeral as soon as possible. So I imitate my father and want to serve the country. To choose a qualified heir."
The emperor didn't continue to say the following words, but Yang Xiusheng had already understood. Although he hasn't paid attention to the political affairs of the country for many years, he knows what the former emperor did when he established the crown prince.
Back then, the five sons of the late emperor were selected, and three of them died, and one of them went away to a faraway place, and the last one left was Yang Jian.
Now that Yang Jian wants to follow the example of the former emperor, it will definitely be another bloodshed.
Even Yang Xiusheng could imagine that in order to establish a crown prince, Yang Jian must first see the abilities of his sons, so he would let go of the control of the temple, which would breed factions and form private parties. And the army with the power to make a final decision will definitely be deliberately suppressed by Yang Jian, so that everyone in the army will be in danger and dare not participate in the battle for succession, so that the "selection" can be limited to a controllable range.
It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, but Yang Jian's "selection" of the crown prince's series of actions deeply stimulated Yang Yansi, the number one man in the army, and forced him to move out the retreat that had been hidden for decades in order to protect himself : Support the enemy, let the enemy grow rapidly to the point where it can threaten the old Jing Dynasty, and then force the country to reorganize its army.
To put it simply: Aren't you afraid that all the birds will be hidden? Simple, wouldn't it be enough to keep the prey there all the time?
Yang Xiusheng doesn't need to know every detail, as long as he is clear about it. Not to mention asking the emperor if he had evidence. The emperor thinks you have a problem and you are a threat, then you have a problem and a threat. This makes no sense. Yang Xiusheng and the emperor were in the same perspective, and Yang Yansi was at most a "troublesome" in his eyes, not a problem.
"Such a rampant person can just be suppressed?" Yang Xiusheng was obviously not at ease. According to his thinking, it is better to cut the weeds or get rid of the roots.
"Just keep it down. Yang Yansi has done so much for the country anyway, and the credit is barely enough to be crowned king. Although the credit is not worth it, the face of the country is still there. Just beat him up." Killing is too ugly and too ugly. Besides, there is a military incident nearby, if Yang Yansi's "God of War" signboard falls down, it will be a big deal."
"Then what do you mean?" Yang Xiusheng originally thought that even if the emperor left Yang Yansi alive, he would be detained, for example, in the prison of Fenghong Villa. But the emperor mentioned the word "signboard". Since it is a signboard, there is no reason why it should be hidden and closed, so how should it be "pressed"?
"Seal his cultivation base, give him another restriction, and then I will let people stare at him."
The emperor thought that the reason why Yang Yansi was troublesome was because of his high prestige in the army on the one hand. On the other hand, it is the terrifying first-level cultivation base of the Xuanhai Realm. The prestige can be left untouched for the time being, but the cultivation base must be suppressed, so as to have the conditions to control the opponent.
This created a problem for Yang Xiusheng.
"Using the method of cutting off the meridian can seal his meridian, so that the true energy cannot flow. If you cooperate with the pill for a long time to indulge the true energy and muddy the sea of consciousness, it should be able to meet your requirements, and it can erode the foundation of his practice in a subtle way." If things go on like this, even cultivators in the Xuanhai Realm will have to regress in cultivation."
This method is vicious, but it is the safest method Yang Xiusheng can think of.
"Can't solve it?" The emperor didn't know much about cultivation, and he wanted to hear the exact answer.
"Cutting off the meridian is my royal family's unique method. It is effective for all people below the third level of the Xuanhai Realm. If you want to break through the cutting of the meridian, there is no way to break it by force. The only result is that the meridian is completely broken. If others help, the cultivation level is at least higher than that." It's only 40% possible for me. Therefore, I don't think Yang Yansi has a chance to crack it."
The emperor nodded when he heard that Yang Xiusheng was so determined. After a while of silence, he said: "Then do as you said, and you will do it when Yang Yansi comes over later. Are you sure?"
Yang Xiusheng didn't reply, just snorted contemptuously.
