I am the leader of the capital

After a long time, the revived emperor slightly raised his eyes to look at Qiu Shuiming who was standing respectfully, and said, "You have been with me for so many years, you don't need to be cautious with me, it's okay to be casual."

Seeing that General Qiu was too reserved, the emperor continued after finishing speaking: "Guiying, bring a chair for General Qiu." After saying that, the old eunuch opened the door and went out.

"What do you think are the pros and cons of joining forces with their Xueyu Villa?" After the old eunuch left, the emperor began to ask. It was not because he was worried that the old eunuch named Guiying would be out of control, but because for the emperor, the family and the country were important matters. After all, I don't want to talk to an old eunuch.

Qiu Shui obviously expected that the emperor would ask such a question, and he was not surprised at all. The tired emperor felt a lot happier in an instant, smiled slightly and said, "Master Bai told you?"

"Brother Bai asked me when chatting with me two days ago: What if the royal family joins forces with Xueyu Villa?" I guessed that the emperor must have considered the pros and cons of this idea.

The old emperor didn't pick up the topic again, instead, his face was full of memories, and after a long time, he almost murmured: "You and the eldest son are of the same generation, I am twenty years older than you, and I never miss me." You are so old even before you die.”

Qiu Shuiming sighed deeply. For martial arts practitioners, physical fitness and fighting and killing are two different things. Those pampered martial artists like his age can't see any signs of aging, and he and Bai Shixiong are full of injuries. The old ones are about to go to the grave, and when they see some of their peers in the past, some people will believe if they say it is their own son.

The cold wind outside the window blew into the room with cold rain, the emperor felt a bit of coldness, and came back to his senses, "Then what is your answer after thinking about it?"

"If we fight against these vassal families, the royal army can almost fight against [-]% of their backbone forces, but considering that after they unite, all forces will just surround us, and we will be restrained no matter which side we fight against, so if We have no chance of winning against all people directly.

This is only considering the strength on the surface. We don't know how many masters have been cultivated by the resources of those who have subjugated the country in the past. Although we also have some hidden masters, they are definitely inferior in general. We can It's easy to destroy any force, but they must understand the truth that their lips are dead and their teeth are cold. As long as they are in a group, we will not be able to fight against everyone. "

After General Qiu Shuiming finished speaking, he stopped talking. The emperor said flatly, "You just talked about the current situation, but you didn't say what you think should be done. Don't worry, no matter what you say today, you are innocent."

The room became quiet again, Qiu Shuiming looked down at the floor tiles that had been passed by generations of monarchs and ministers, the emperor sat quietly, the eunuch who went out to find a chair seemed to have no intention of coming back.

After pondering for a while, Qiu Shuiming said: "If the imperial court wants to weaken the local power, it needs helpers. We can unite some aristocratic families, but these selected aristocratic families will grow into bigger powerhouses when they divide up. harder to deal with.

If we think about it on this basis, we only need to unite the powerful forces around the capital, and then win over Xueyu Villa. In the process, we will give the meat to Xueyu Villa, and the ultimate beneficiaries are the imperial court and Xueyu Villa, who will use tigers to deal with it. The pack of wolves finally got rid of the tigers. "

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, and said coldly: "Are you sure you can solve the Xueyu Villa at that time?"

"It's easier to get rid of Xueyu Mountain Villa. After all, you can use the army to pile up. The hard part is how to hunt and kill those top masters. It is difficult to catch those masters if they want to escape. Because of Bai Shangshu's plans over the years, our capital is not afraid Experts of that level, but if they wreak havoc everywhere in the empire, we have nowhere to defend." After Qiu Shuiming finished speaking, he hesitated to speak, but in the end he said nothing.

"You have thought of a countermeasure."

Emperor Jian'an, who had just adopted the New Year's title a few years ago, frowned slightly, as if he was considering the pros and cons of this matter, but what he said to Qiu Shuiming was not doubt but confirmation, as if he believed that General Qiu Shuiming already had a strategy.

"Marry Princess Jinghuang to Young Master Yun."

When Qiu Shuiming finished speaking, Emperor Jian'an's body visibly trembled. After being an emperor all his life, he naturally understood Qiu Shuiming's meaning easily. Emperor Ji Huang is the most honorable princess of the royal family. If she can marry into Xueyu Villa, Xueyu Villa's wariness of the royal family may be minimized.

When all the wars to suppress local forces are over, it will be many years before the two sides turn against each other. With Jinghuang Diji's talent to become a master-level master, there is no problem. Solve it together.

It seems like a good plan, but it can be regarded as ruining Jinghuang Emperor Ji's life. If she marries someone she doesn't love, she may have children after many years. At that time, she will murder her husband's family and children. Father, when Xueyu Villa is destroyed, the first thing to do is to kill her as a traitor. In the end, it will be as difficult for Jinghuang to survive.

In the end, the emperor who seemed a little tired said softly: "Even if it is like this, it may not be a success, is it?"

Qiu Shuiming didn't say much, he knew that Empress Jinghuang was the bright moon in the hands of the emperor and empress, so naturally he was reluctant to marry her.

"Go, I'm a little tired."

When Qiu Shuiming walked out of the imperial study, he looked back, the emperor who was leaning on the chair and raised his head slightly closed his eyes, as if he was full of exhaustion, or relaxed after letting go of something.

After Qiu Shuiming left, the elderly emperor walked out of the imperial study, walked into the drizzle, and stood on the square paved with white stones, looking east with tears in his eyes.

At such a short time that day, so many people died in this square, so many people were abolished, and what was buried was the future of the empire, as well as the ambition of a king who yearned to reproduce the glory of the empire.

After 30 years, the emperor, who is now an old man, seemed to see the overwhelming snow again, paving the world into a silvery white, just like the scene he saw again and again in his dreams, the ground covered with heavy snow was full of glaring blood , In the heavy snow that was full of goose feathers, the young figures that densely covered the square fought to the death, and finally died in battle.

Between the two huge black palaces, the old emperor, who knew he was young, just squatted in the rain that was falling more and more, crying. If he hadn't taken his majesty into consideration, he might have cried aloud.

The sound of horseshoes treading water came from the wide official road in front of the south gate of the capital, and the city suddenly boiled. Many related officials ran to the city wall with umbrellas and stretched their heads to look at it. Before half a stick of incense, someone from the south A small flare was placed, indicating that Mr. Yun had already appeared at that place.

Many people came to see the excitement because of curiosity, but there were also a lot of people who came to surprise Mr. Yun, even if they had never met Mr. Yun, they didn't know whether Mr. Yun was beautiful or ugly, but this was not the case. It doesn't affect them looking forward to marrying Mr. Yun.

According to the practice from generation to generation, the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker are the sacred regulations for women to get married. Many women who are concubine can't choose what they like, and second, they can only marry the daughter-in-law to choose the remaining husband-in-law, so many of them came today. , Anyway, marriage is not something you can choose, so why not try to marry someone powerful?

Soon, a black horse with four hooves on the snow appeared in the public's field of vision, and the white-clothed figure on the horse couldn't be seen clearly, and there were several people riding the horse and whipping the horse behind this figure.

A group of people from Yun Musheng couldn’t agree on who would come first after drinking tea, so they let go and ran away. Whoever arrived first at the gate of the city would naturally be the first to enter the city.
When they got closer, the girls upstairs finally saw the faces of several people clearly. Except for Jin Dingfa who was too fat, the faces of the others were not bad. Yun Musheng came under the wide gate and looked at the crowds on the city wall. , A heroic spirit soared to the sky, and shouted to the whole city: "Fengge City, I, Yuntou, have been born."

All of a sudden, the city was boiling. After knowing who was Mr. Yun, many women who came to watch the fun secretly hated themselves for not tidying up before coming back. The young man who walked through the city gate and boarded the Suzaku Avenue exuded a strange smell that could not be seen in the capital. The breath is as clear as a mountain spring and as soft as a spring breeze.

Looking at the various small umbrellas on both sides of Suzaku Avenue, Yun Musheng, who was galloping all the way, couldn't help being a little dumbfounded when he heard that someone greeted him at the tea shop. Looking around from the horse, they were all exposed under the eaves of the umbrellas that were slightly upturned. Face.

When Yun Qianyu appeared behind him, it also caused a commotion, like a basin of cold water, extinguished the thoughts of many girls who were waiting to be married. Only such a young man can complement each other with such a girl by his side, and he is indeed worthy. not on.

"Young Master Yun."

I don't know which girl yelled the first sentence, but the yelling on the side of the road kept coming and going.

Li Yu, who didn't run fast enough to overtake Yun Musheng, couldn't help being a little discouraged for a while, seeing everyone's gazes on the front, but thinking that it would be nice to be able to gallop past so many people, he suddenly became excited again. When he came up, he rode on the horse and kept waving to both sides, which attracted some attention.

Qiu Shuiming, who came out of the palace, sat in a low-key brown sedan chair, and the guards carried the sedan chair and walked unhurriedly on the Zhuque Avenue paved with bluestone slabs. Qiu Shuiming, who was thinking about something, heard a commotion, so he opened the curtain Looking at it, there was a lot of people outside the curtain, and countless young girls stood on the side of the street holding small flower umbrellas and stretched their heads to look around.

The white-haired, rapidly aging General Qiu thought that time had flown back in a trance. This scene is so familiar, but the scene was even more grand that day. The water is blocked, and the whole city is only waiting for one person to return.

Playful, handsome and tall young man rode by, the rain splashed everywhere, the white-haired general just watched the young man with a youthful face pass by, at this staggered moment, time seemed to be drawn It's very long.

The hustle and bustle on Suzaku Avenue was only for a while, and it gradually returned to calm after the young man passed by. General Qiu followed the bumps of the sedan chair, staring blankly at the drizzle that gathered in twos and threes to discuss the young man of Mr. Yun. Girls, sighed and said softly: "Is it a new era?"

The crowd left, but the enthusiasm of the eldest son of Xueyu Villa did not weaken at all. It spread more and more widely, and within half a day, everyone knew that the young master of Xueyu Villa, Yushu Linfeng, had more natural and fresh air than many men in the capital. .
