Mythology Starts with Childish Skills

Seemingly seeing Meng Zhao's confusion and disapproval of his explanation, Meng Hongdao thought about it and said,

"Let me answer your first question again. You don't understand why the Li family would take such a big risk and do such an uncertain thing. You just feel that it is hard to give up. This argument is actually untenable.

Let me ask you, Zhaoer, do you ever know what the Li family in Xuzhou has experienced?

If there was really no external stimulation, how could a family with nine surnames be so dim? Isn't there a smart person who can see the danger in this? "

Meng Zhao was startled. He thought of something on Qingjun's face, and his face became a little ugly. He cupped his hands towards Meng Hongdao and said,

"What Third Uncle means is that the Li family has no choice but to do this. Could it be related to the Beitang royal family?"

He is a smart man with a quick mind. He was taught by the mysterious man Zhao Hun earlier, and later he also liked reading. He has a certain understanding of the general trend of the world.

Meng Hongdao's expression was similar to that of Meng Zhao. Although the uncle and nephew did not express it explicitly, they had a tacit understanding.

On the contrary, Meng Chuan was still a little unable to turn around. His big face was full of depression and he said helplessly,

"Dad, fourth brother, if you have any questions, just tell me. There are only three of us in this room, so what are you afraid of?"

Meng Hongdao smiled. Looking at his son who clearly had excellent martial arts talent but didn't like to use his brain, he was both happy and disappointed. He glanced at Meng Zhao with a gloomy expression out of the corner of his eye and was filled with emotion.

How wonderful it would be if Meng Zhao was his son!

"Chuan'er, this matter is of great concern. As a father, I will teach you a lesson today. Please listen carefully.

Since Taizu founded the country, the land of China has been governed by the Beitang royal family and the sects of large and small aristocratic families to jointly govern and enjoy the world. This stems from the promise Taizu made to the heroes when they met at Mount Tai. Our Meng family He is one of those with vested interests.

At that time, the world was initially settled, and many foreign countries outside of China were making moves and planning to invade China. Fortunately, Dayong's superiors and subordinates unanimously responded to the outside world, and the national strength was restored.

But times have changed, and after so many years, the power of the local aristocratic families has continued to expand, and their connections with military and political affairs have become increasingly serious, which has greatly damaged the interests of the dynasty and the royal family. How can the Beitang royal family remain indifferent?

In fact, the two generations of emperors from the contemporary emperor Beitang Sheng to the previous generation had the idea of ​​weakening the powerful families, rectifying the sects, and taking over the imperial power, but they were not realized and they soon lost their lives. "

Meng Zhao was not surprised by what Meng Hongdao said at the beginning. He had already noticed it.

Dayong is a bit like a tribal alliance in ancient times. The Beitang royal family is the co-leader of the human race and the leader of the tribe. The other large and small forces are scattered tribes. Although they submit to the royal family, they have great autonomy.

Of course, they are just similar. After all, they have experienced the baptism of the era of unified imperial power. The Beitang royal family still has a certain influence on the local area in name and in fact, and the major forces will maintain their loyalty.

However, the fundamental contradiction between the royal family and the local forces lies there. The local forces will vigorously develop and manage their own power and territory. This is inevitable for no one. The royal family will seize the imperial power and truly turn the world into the Beitang royal family. In this world, tit-for-tat cannot be described.

And as time goes by, this conflict will become more and more intense until it cannot be ended.

Meng Zhao knew this very well, and even said that there were not many people in the world who could see this.

However, what he never expected was that Meng Hongdao's last words, that the cause of death of Beitang Sheng's grandfather and father were related to this kind of power struggle, was simply shocking.

He even felt that Meng Hongdao was being alarmist.

If that were the case, wouldn't the Beitang royal family have turned against them long ago?

Seeing that his words shocked the two children and that Meng Zhao obviously didn't believe it, Meng Hongdao continued,

"Don't think I'm exaggerating. In fact, although the causes of death of the first two emperors are obviously due to illness, they were indeed killed by some old monster from the other eight surnames.

The reason was that there were rumors in the palace that these two people wanted to suppress the powerful families and expand the imperial power.

My eldest brother and I learned about this from the Kong family, and the Kong family also acquiesced in this approach. "

Not to mention Meng Zhao, even Meng Chuan, a stupid young man, was a little scared. The majestic king of a country and the body of an emperor was actually assassinated twice in a row. How high must that man's martial arts be?

Moreover, to be so lawless and control the life and death of the emperor and the emperor in the palm of his hand, what kind of grace would it be?

There is a master in the court, Cui Wei, who can't stop him. I'm afraid that the old monster's martial arts might not be the best in the world.

From this point of view, this world is really dominated by the weak and the strong, even the majestic emperors are no exception.

"But, Third Uncle, if this is really the case, the current emperor should put aside some of his inappropriate thoughts. Otherwise, he will still be the unlucky one in the future. How can he dare to act rashly?"

If someone can kill two, he may not dare to kill the third. If it were Meng Zhao himself, he would not have such dangerous thoughts before he had absolute confidence and assurance.

Protect yourself first, then make progress. This is the safe way.

"Oh, Zhao'er, you have been in Yujing for ten years, don't you know what the current emperor is like? What is there that he doesn't dare to do?"

Meng Zhao was stunned. Yes, he had heard about it for a long time. The current emperor Beitang Sheng was in charge of power very skillfully. He organized the administration, appeased the people's livelihood, and suppressed small rebellions in the territory several times. He was quite like a wise king.

But the wiser the monarch is, the more he loves his achievements and always feels that he is different from other emperors.

What others cannot do or cannot do, you may not be unable to do.

For example, Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty opened the imperial examination, dug the Grand Canal, and made Luoyang the capital to reduce the influence of the Longyou nobles. He accomplished a lot, but he was too eager for quick success and quick gains. His three conquests of Goguryeo directly destroyed the originally wealthy and powerful country. The Sui Dynasty collapsed and eventually ended up as a subjugated king.

Although Beitang Sheng has the style of a wise king, he may not really have the rule of a wise king. Even the difference between a wise king and a faint king is often just a thin line.

Meng Zhao suddenly thought about the fourth son of the Meng family he was pretending to be. Ten years ago, he and thirty-five other aristocratic children were summoned to the Great Ci'en Temple in Yujing. Could it be that he really just went to chant sutras and did nothing else?

Be bold. Are those thirty-six people all chess pieces used by Beitang Sheng to deal with the nobles of the aristocratic families? Some complied and some did not.

Those who don't follow will do what he did, find someone else to replace the Huanhuan family, and wait for opportunities to act?

Some things cannot withstand consideration, and the more you think about them, the more terrifying they become.

Of course, it might just be Meng Zhao's own wild imagination.

But the existence of Zhao Hun and the other party's method of letting him lurk in the Meng family are really exciting.

This is not something ordinary people can do.
