Chapter 259: Sword Dao Changes
Late at night.
The capital city was in a solemn mood.
The gods, like stars, look down upon all living beings.
Shadow closed the study window evilly.
It doesn't need sleep.
The same is true for Wang Taiyu.
The events of the day just flashed by.
Chen Huangpi insisted on staying at Wang's house, which made him both amused and touched.
What’s funny is that this incident was caused by tangerine peel.
What touched me was that although this nephew acted naughty, he knew clearly what was right and wrong.
It is countless times better than many hypocritical people.
Of course, the only downside is.
His behavior is a bit weird.
"Ming Dao, that kid doesn't understand me."
Wang Taiyu said dimly, "Actually, I'm not angry because he got involved in Chen Huangpi's affairs, but because he didn't tell me. If I had known, I would have definitely given them advice."
“I think this is not bad.”
Shadow walked over and poured two cups of tea. "Mingdao is a restless kid at heart. He has no intention of becoming an official. It's you, as his father, who suppressed his nature."
"With Chen Huangpi watching over him, nothing will happen to him."
"maybe."
Wang Taiyu picked up the tea and drank it all: "But Du Rugui's words surprised me a little. Your Majesty wants me to take action against the noble families, but if that is the case, how could Mr. Du have such an attitude?"
Shadow frowned evilly and said, "That's not something we can interfere with."
It is a secret guard, but just a secret guard.
In essence, it is just an inconspicuous one among the many secret guards of Emperor Dakang.
Once some things involve the ancestors of the aristocratic families, it is no longer something it can participate in.
Wang Taiyu, however, disagreed.
“A glimpse of the leopard through the tube can reveal a lot.”
"how do I say this?"
Shadow Xie's eyes lit up.
It knew that its old friend might have noticed something.
Wang Taiyu narrowed his eyes and said, "The trip to Xuzhou City has benefited me a lot. Your Majesty appointed me as the Supervisory Censor and asked me to take action against the noble families. What can you see from this?"
"What can we see from this?"
Shadow said in an evil tone, "It's nothing more than that His Majesty has a big plan, and the aristocratic family is now blocking his way, so he wants to take action, or maybe the aristocratic family has other intentions that His Majesty has discovered, so this is the case."
"What you said is too complicated."
Wang Taiyu dipped his hand in the tea and tapped it on the desk.
"In essence, it can be summed up in the word 'contradiction'."
"And His Majesty knew today that Chen Huangpi was the assassin, but he still endured it. This is another contradiction."
"Du Rugui also had conflicts with him."
"Let's talk about this from childhood to adulthood."
Wang Taiyu organized his words and spoke again: "First, it's popularity. In recent years, the popularity tax in Dakang has been getting higher and higher, and the people have suffered from it."
"Then there are the noble families and your majesty."
"Your Majesty is the largest family, and he controls the distribution of popularity."
"The noble families have united together again, so that Your Majesty cannot act rashly."
Shadow Xie nodded upon hearing this.
The situation in Dakang is just as Wang Taiyu described.
Except for the Du family, the other five surnames and seven families were basically aristocratic families that had already existed before the founding of Dakang.
The power and strength of these families are deeply rooted.
From the very beginning, it was equivalent to a country within a country.
"Your Majesty's decision to take action against the noble families does not necessarily mean that you cannot tolerate it."
Wang Taiyu said in an inexplicable tone: "The most important thing is that if what Du Rugui said is true, then taking action against the aristocratic families should only be the first step in your majesty's plan."
"I don't know the full picture of what His Majesty is going to do, but I know his style of doing things."
"He is good at political tactics. He either uproots the enemy or uses the enemy's strength to defeat the enemy."
"The moves he made on the chessboard today seemed to be aimed directly at the noble families, but in fact, he was using the noble families as his chess pieces."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shadow Xieyi suddenly interrupted and said, "Your Majesty is the emperor in the capital, and he can decide life and death with a single thought. What use does aristocratic family have to him?"
Wang Taiyu said: "Although the aristocratic families are based in the capital, their influence is spread all over the world. In those places, the aristocratic families are the real masters."
"Well, that's one point."
Shadow said strangely, and added: "The aristocratic families have a lot of ancient books and documents. Perhaps this is also one of your majesty's purposes."
Wang Taiyu shook his head slightly: "I don't think His Majesty would be interested in those ancient books. If he really wanted them, his secret guards would have taken them away long ago."
"In short, in my opinion, the noble families are only the first step in His Majesty's plan."
"The evil god that Chen Huangpi mentioned, and the immortal master." "These should also be part of your majesty's plan."
At this moment.
Shadow sighed evilly.
"Headache, headache..."
"It's not a headache."
Wang Taiyu suddenly said, "I am also a chess piece, although I am definitely not your Majesty's first move. But from today on, as long as I start to take action against the noble families, the chess game will become clearer and clearer."
Speaking of attacking noble families, Shadow Xieyi became interested: "Which family are you going to attack?"
Wang Taiyu said: "The choice is not in my hands, but in the hands of the noble families. Your Majesty has already made a move, and the noble families will naturally counter it and throw out a scapegoat to test your majesty's purpose."
Shadow smiled evilly and said, "I am not as far-sighted as you think. As long as the heads of the Shi family fall to the ground, I will be happy in my heart."
Wang Taiyu filled the teacup, raised it and said, "Let's use tea instead of wine to see him off."
"color!"
……
At this moment.
In the Liu family in the east of the city.
It was brightly lit.
The children of the Liu family were all dejected.
They did plan to rebel during the day.
However, this momentum was extinguished as soon as it began.
Now, I don’t know how many secret guards are stationed outside this high wall.
Half an hour ago.
One of His Majesty's secret guards entered the Liu family's ancestral hall.
There was only one person in the ancestral hall, and that was the ancestor of the Liu family.
In the dim ancestral hall.
An old man in a loose robe had his eyes closed.
This is Liu Shujiao, the ancestor of the Liu family.
Behind him was a wall of exposed blue bricks, on which was enshrined a sword about eight feet long.
The Liu family is one of the five surnames and seven families.
But among the aristocratic families, the Liu family is one of the least advanced ones.
Because the Liu family was originally the personal guards who followed the founding emperor of Dakang to conquer the world, and they became rich because they served as mountain patrol captains during the war.
The so-called mountain patrol captain is actually a tomb robber.
The tombs of ancient cultivators and some cemeteries of dead powerful men.
After the founding of Dakang.
By chance, the Liu family unearthed the tomb of an ancient swordsman.
In ancient times, all the skills of sword masters were placed on their swords.
The strength is earth-shattering.
But the swordsman did not turn into evil.
Instead, it was devoured by its sword and for some unknown reason turned into an alien.
After the Liu family obtained the sword, they practiced swordsmanship using the method of cultivating human energy.
After a long time.
The ancestor of the Liu family has completely mastered the sword.
This is also the reason why he dared to rebel.
But here's the thing.
Now there is something wrong with the sword.
In other words, something went wrong with Liu Shujiao.
Of course, it is also possible that there is something wrong with both the person and the sword.
"Why can't I become one with the sword?"
Liu Shujiao closed his eyes and kept trying to resonate with the sword and enter a state of unity between man and sword, but he couldn't do it, no matter what.
"What exactly went wrong?"
"Yesterday I was able to achieve unity between man and sword. How come my swordsmanship level has suddenly disappeared?"
This is horrifying and ridiculous.
Liu Shujiao started practicing swordplay at the age of three, killed someone at the age of seven, and had achieved some success in kendo at the age of fifteen.
At the age of twenty, he had reached the state of unity between man and sword.
He became a god and has lived for nearly two thousand years.
Over the past two thousand years, the sword realm that had become a flesh and blood instinct had inexplicably become a dream bubble.
What a nightmare.
At this time, a voice sounded faintly in the darkness: "Old Ancestor of the Liu Family, have you thought about how to give His Majesty an explanation?" (End of this chapter)
