"How is it?" His Majesty the Emperor asked after he entered, the first sentence he asked was very plain, simple and simple.
"Well, not bad." Ye Nantian smiled. Ye Nantian's answer was also plain and simple.
"That's good." His Majesty the Emperor let out a long breath of relief.
"Your Majesty has been wronged by everything today." Ye Nantian said.
"There is nothing to be wronged. There are causes and effects, and vice versa." His Majesty smiled: "What do you want to do? Tell me straight."
His Majesty the Emperor would never call himself 'Zhen' in front of Ye Nantian.
For this, Ye Nantian has long been used to it; because Ye Nantian would never call himself a 'subject' in front of His Majesty the Emperor.
Especially when the two of you are together in private.
In addition, the two of them have never been called brothers, even though they are serious sworn brothers!
The official titles of the sworn brothers of the royal family, such as "brother" and "brother", do not exist in the dialogue between them, so that in the conversation between them, they use the most words to refer to each other, Only "you" and "me"!
"Lawless Ye Nantian has become a legend now." Ye Nantian smiled: "Although it is a disgraceful infamy, but it is not a bad thing. In the world, there are always mixed benefits, and it is impossible to have only advantages and no disadvantages. .”
His Majesty the Emperor nodded: "I understand, how is Xiaoxiao doing now?"
Ye Nantian sighed: "The kid finally survived until I rushed back, now... it won't be possible to go to that step."
After hearing these words, His Majesty the Emperor was completely relieved, and blurted out: "A tiger father has no dogs."
As long as Ye Xiao doesn't die, then Ye Nantian won't run amok or even go crazy, and everything will turn around!
Ye Nantian sighed, "I still have a headache."
His Majesty the Emperor laughed, and his laughter seemed extremely joyful.
"Don't be too happy, this time, I plan to kill a few people." Ye Nantian said seriously.
His Majesty the Emperor's smile faltered, he sighed again, and did not speak for a long time.
"This time, someone from the royal family should be involved." Ye Nantian said again in a very flat tone.
The whole sentence is as plain as boiled water, but the meaning in the words is enough to shock and move people's hearts!
His Majesty the Emperor's quiet face twitched faintly, and then said: "Okay."
This simple word "Okay" has already set the tone for the series of things that will follow.
It wasn't that Chen Xuantian didn't want to protect his heir's bloodline, but that the perpetrator was already doomed to be unable to protect it. Ye Nantian's opening was just to inform, not to wait for His Majesty's approval and approval.
Now that the matter was already doomed, His Majesty the Emperor naturally chose to end this topic immediately.
This choice is undoubtedly very wise and sensible, of course, there are still many frustrations!
"This time the empire is precarious, and the crisis is unprecedented. Can you handle it with confidence, Nan Tian?" the emperor asked worriedly.
"If there wasn't that person manipulating behind the scenes, I don't think it's a problem." Ye Nantian's tone was also a little worried: "However, the existence of that person and that building makes me not have too many problems." I am sure. This is also the main reason why I took advantage of the trend this time and wanted to thoroughly cleanse my troubles."
His Majesty the Emperor was silent when he heard the words, and after a long time, he sighed and said: "Turn the clouds and rain the tower... Turn the clouds and rain... White!"
There was a trace of austerity in his voice.
Ye Nantian reminded heavily: "That person cannot be killed."
This soft sentence caused His Majesty the Emperor to feel depressed for a long time again, and said: "If you do it yourself and go all out, won't you be able to kill him?"
Ye Nantian shook his head lightly, and said in a deep voice, "I can't."
His Majesty the Emperor was silent, and his face became extremely ugly.
Ye Nantian frowned, and said worriedly: "I have all the information about that person for thousands of years... If it is true as stated in the information, as long as any one of those three people recovers their true cultivation, I am not The opponent. Even, the opponent can easily kill me! This is not a lie!"
His Majesty the Emperor smiled wryly.
He murmured: "Turning the clouds and raining towers... the gentleness of the clouds, the beauty of the sky... Mr. Bai! Hehe..." His majestic face showed a strong sense of helplessness, and said: "This is like hanging on the heads of the emperors of various countries forever." Once a sharp sword is cut off, it will be Wang Tu's hegemony, and it will all be returned to the loess; the iron bucket, the country, will be destroyed! But there is no way to stop it, and can only bear it passively. Alas!"
Ye Nantian said calmly: "If you want to deal with this person, the only way to do it is to defeat him head-on."
He said lightly: "Actually... every time the other party appears, there is no fixed goal! There is no such obsession to destroy a certain empire, but to create chaos in the world, and then follow the trend."
"I even suspect that the purpose of their actions is to deliberately cause bloody killings and a large number of casualties. If this is the case, His Majesty is not without a chance."
Ye Nantian's words made His Majesty the Emperor look better.
"I also have some understanding of the purpose of the Overturning Clouds and Rain Tower. Nantian, your analysis is very reasonable. In the original way, the people of any country should not sacrifice and kill lightly, and surrender without fighting. It is the most reasonable thing for a military strategist, but at this juncture in front of you, it is absolutely impossible to take care of it. The so-called dead friends will not die poor people. Everything is still based on protecting the people and territory of Emperor Chen. At that time, if the goal of turning the clouds and rains is achieved, Withdrawing and retreating, our side not only has not been destroyed, but even has a certain amount of strength... Then, this continent is very likely to be completely unified in the hands of our Emperor Chen!" His Majesty the Emperor said with shining eyes.
Ye Nantian smiled noncommittally, and said, "In terms of facts alone, it's true."
…
On this day, the two talked secretly for a long time.
Then when His Majesty the Emperor went out to drive back to the palace, his face was very strange, he couldn't see how disappointed he was, but he was definitely not happy either. In short, I frowned and worried along the way.
Of all the people who saw it, no one dared to ask what happened, lest it would be bad luck.
However, there was a rumor that quickly spread: I am afraid that Mr. Ye's life is in jeopardy this time, and the ending of Ye Nantian's madness is doomed to be inevitable.
That's why His Majesty the Emperor is so unhappy...
After His Majesty left, Ye Nantian stayed alone in the study for a long time before finally getting up and going to his son's residence.
"Smile, tell me... why is the emperor unhappy?" Ye Nantian asked.
This is not a question, but another test for the son.
Ye Xiao frowned, pondered for a while, and then said: "Could it be that he has hemorrhoids?"
Ye Nantian was stunned when he heard the words.
After a while, he patted the table: "Speak seriously!"
Ye Xiao rolled his eyes.
Do we need to discuss this kind of thing
"Naturally, the emperor didn't want me to kill people. However, he knew that those people I killed deserved to be killed." Ye Nantian said.
"Because... Your Majesty needs civil and military control and the emperor's mind to balance the government and the opposition. I don't want any party to be too powerful and lose its constraints." Ye Xiao twitched the corners of his mouth, a little disapprovingly.
It seems that if I don't answer the questions well today, I won't be able to sleep. If so, what's the point of simply answering it
"Tell me in detail." Ye Nantian's eyes lit up, and he looked at his son with even more relief.
"Our Majesty actually knows clearly in his heart who is a loyal minister and who is a treacherous minister, who can defend his family and the country, and who is more successful than failure... So, His Majesty has always balanced this relationship very well."
"It is impossible for a court to be full of treacherous ministers. If this is the case, the country will perish early. But in a court, it cannot be all loyal ministers, because it would be no fun to be an emperor. There is not even a little freedom. Therefore, the emperor also needs some courtiers, courtiers, flattering villains, etc., to relax himself, mediate his body and mind, and even balance the power of the government and the opposition."
"However, what you did this time, father, is clearly to wipe out those people and bring about a real Qingming between the government and the people." Ye Xiao said bluntly: "And this is contrary to His Majesty's long-standing political philosophy. Those people exist. The greatest significance is to check and balance the truly insightful people in the court; so that all decisions are in the hands of His Majesty... "
"This is the so-called emperor's mind." Ye Xiao said.
"That's right." Ye Nantian nodded: "But right now, it's imperative. No matter what else, even if it's for your pretentiousness this time, I will kill you."
"Of course, it is indeed imperative." Ye Xiao looked not very interested.
"Actually, Your Majesty is not bad." Ye Nantian looked into his son's eyes, hoping to discover more things.
"It's a pity that none of His Majesty's three sons is good. Even if he didn't serve as his minister at that time, it would still be a shame." Ye Xiao said with a lack of interest.
Ye Nantian nodded in agreement, and his thoughts became heavier. Fortunately, what Ye Xiao was talking about was Yuanyou, so he didn't need to think about it for now.
"You said that His Majesty the Emperor is good at present, and I don't deny it, but this kind of goodness is also based on the fact that you have absolute use value..." Ye Xiao said lightly.
"This sentence... I don't know." Ye Nantian nodded and said: "However, in the final analysis, the affairs of the world are nothing more than a conflict of interests. If you don't have a certain use, who will look at you? Just use this point. It is obviously inappropriate to deny an emperor."
"I didn't say that I would deny His Majesty the Emperor." Ye Xiao said, "I just pointed out the fundamental problem. In fact, the interests are not only related to the emperor, but also to ordinary people."
