Chapter 1142 Defa Family

"Heavenly King?" Huan Yin was obviously stunned by Hu Zi's question, and then he realized that he had been in the Western Eight Heavens for two years, and even if he had stayed there for a full year, he had always been trying to fight wits and courage with the military and the Grand Marshal here, but he never thought that there should still be a Heavenly King here.

"The military and politics in the Western Eight Heavens are separated, yes, each small heaven here should have a small Heavenly King, and together there should be a big Heavenly King. Even if the big Heavenly King is replaced by the small Heavenly King of a certain city, there should be at least eight Heavenly Kings. I actually forgot about them completely." Huan Yin slapped his head and smiled bitterly.

In fact, Huan Yin not only completely forgot the Heavenly Kings that should have existed, but he had never seen these Heavenly Kings. These Heavenly Kings themselves seemed to have no sense of existence, or perhaps they did not exist at all.

Seeing Huan Yin looking at him with doubtful eyes, Hu Zi knew what Huan Yin was thinking, so he said: "Actually, it's not your fault, Your Majesty, because the presence of the Heavenly Kings here is too low. Compared with the military, they are basically non-existent."

"Why is this so? The Heavenly Kings are the pinnacle of the political system and are indispensable. Even if Ku's military power overwhelms them, they should not have no presence. You know, I have been in the West for so long for eight days, but I have never heard of them or anything related to them. Even the big and small affairs in each city seem to be handled by the military. If you didn't remind me, I almost thought Ku was the Great Heavenly King." Huan Yin asked.

Hu Zi said: "Your Majesty, actually, this is what happened. When Luohou usurped power, the Western Eight Heavens were in chaos. The previous kings and marshals all preferred death to surrender and supported the king, so they were all killed. It was also since then that Luohou arranged for Ku to become the Grand Marshal here. He also wanted him to serve as the Great King and directly command everything so that everything in the Western Eight Heavens could be brought under control."

"However, after Ku came to the Western Eight Heavens, he found that this place had long been accustomed to the system of separation of military and political affairs. If he wanted to control the government with the military, if he acted too hastily, not only would there be no benefit, but it would probably backfire."

"And Ku just happened to understand that interests were the most important thing here. The Defa family, a private merchant, was an absolute famous family here, and had a very high reputation throughout the Western Eight Heavens, and was implicitly supported by the people. So, He finally proposed to Luohou that he should resign from his position as the Great Heavenly King and let Deva Pala, the head of the Deva family, be the Great Heavenly King first, in order to stabilize the people's hearts and make the political system transition smoothly. "

"Luohou trusted Ku, and the Deva family was a typical Asura family, so he agreed. So, under the leadership of the Deva family, the Great Heavenly King appointed eight small Heavenly Kings. After the war, the political system of the Western Eight Heavens was finally rebuilt smoothly and smoothly because of their contributions. From this point of view, Ku's approach was extremely wise. Because he didn't understand government affairs at all, and he didn't have prestige among the people of the Western Eight Heavens at the beginning, and the people were used to the separation of political systems, if he didn't recommend the Deva family, the restoration of the Western Eight Heavens would not be so smooth, and he would not be able to sit firmly as the Grand Marshal. "

"But, Ku is This kind of person is definitely not someone who can be selfless for the sake of the world and the people. The decision he made at the beginning was just to keep his position as marshal, to stabilize everything and make a smooth transition. What he did was just a delaying tactic. "

"When everything is a little better, his fangs will be exposed again. He can't just watch the Defa family's reputation among the people continue to rise and really divide his power in half. In his eyes, the entire Western Eight Heavens has long been his own possession, so how can he really allow outsiders to share it? "

"So, about ten years ago, when the overall situation of the Western Eight Heavens was almost unimpeded, he began to use his own methods to target the Defa family, wanting to beat it back to its normal state, so that he could return to the throne of the Great King and truly control it. Everything. "

"It's just that the Defa family has put a lot of thought into the reconstruction of the Eight Days in the West. Now that everything is stable and on an upward trend, how could they be willing to give away the fruits of their hard work to others? Even if they were promoted by Ku, Ku's behavior was too despicable and they could not accept it. "

"Therefore, the two sides gradually broke out in contradiction. It was impossible for Ku to use ordinary methods to make the Defa family give up power. So, Ku began to choose to use force. And with his strength, the Defa family wanted to fight him, how could they have any chance of winning? "

"Fortunately, Ku also knew that if the Defa family was pushed too hard, it would be absolutely not good for himself and the entire Eight Days in the West. So, he used the method of boiling a frog in warm water to slowly boil the Defa family and slowly reduce their wings. "

"And three years ago, the Defa family had fallen to the bottom under Ku's targeting for several years. Most of the political system in the city has been taken over by Ku's troops, and even the Defa family itself has been slowly forced to fade out of the public eye, almost like being under house arrest. "

"Your Majesty came to the West for eight days two years ago, when Ku's methods were more perfect, so what you actually saw was naturally the military controlling everything. The political system has almost become a sham, and it is natural that you feel that the kings have no sense of existence. "

Huan Yin nodded, thinking that there were such complicated entanglements between the military and the government in the Eight Heavens of the West. But soon, he thought of a key issue, so he said: "With Ku's ruthlessness, he can cold-bloodedly target even the Donghuang girl who has made great achievements, so what about the Defa family, since they have conflicts with Ku?" , Ku will not let them go!”

Huzi said: "Your Majesty is absolutely right. Although the methods used against the Defa family in recent years are relatively gentle, once a certain critical point is passed, the people gradually accept the military's management and get used to it. When the kings fade away, he will definitely kill them. Moreover, the Defa family has already felt that the time for Ku to take action is coming! "

Huan Yin rubbed his chin and thought for a while, then said: "So, the way you mentioned that can allow us to penetrate more into the army is to use the power of the Defa family. Although they have been severely targeted by Ku, but A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. They must have their own channels and methods that can help us get closer, and now that they are facing destruction, they are willing to cooperate with us!"

Huzi said: "Yes, that's it! In fact, the Defa family took the initiative to find us three months ago. They learned some things about us through their own channels and knew that we wanted to fight against Ku, so they came to follow us. We talked about a collaboration.”

Huan Yin was startled and said, "Has someone found out our details? Why are we so careless in doing things?"

Huan Yin and others want to target Ku and regain the Eight Heavens of the West. This is their highest secret. Because this action is too relevant, if it is revealed, there is a high possibility that their plan will fail, and there is also a high possibility that Luo Hu will know everything. This is going to be a big deal.

Huzi's face was slightly gloomy, and he said: "This is all due to the incompetence of my subordinates. Among our intelligence personnel, some of their people actually infiltrated in, but we failed to detect it in time. Even Shadow Lord, he didn't Notice. The people of the Defa family are indeed buried deep. They have been in the West for too long. It is difficult for us to completely guard against them. However, they are even more difficult to deal with. , It’s just a big decline.”

Huan Yin's face turned gloomy, and he said directly: "What are the possibilities of destroying them?"

Huan Yin had no grudge against the Defa family, but for the sake of his great cause, he had to be decisive. This is the decision and temperament a king should have.

It's a pity that Huzi shook his head and said: "It is impossible to completely eliminate it. In other words, before it is completely eliminated, we cannot prevent them from uncovering our old cover."

With a long breath, Huan Yin sat down on the chair, feeling very bad. The biggest secret became his handle, but he had no way to solve it. This was the last thing he wanted to see.

And he also knew that at this point, cooperation with the Defa family was necessary. Because if he doesn't do it, then the Defa family may choose to fight to the death for the survival of their own family...
