Jia Xu discussed the situation on the battlefield in the east in detail, and Ning Fan took it seriously. Now both Dayu and Donghuai have invested a lot in this battle, once to expand the territory, and sometimes to defend the territory.

People, neither country will give in easily!

However, according to Jia Xu, Dayu relied on the danger of the Huaihe River, backed up the city of Huaining, and had three famous generals personally in charge. I dare not say that it is foolproof, but the winning rate is still 70% to 80%!

"Sir, what do you think of me, Dayu?"

"Internal and external troubles!"

Hearing Ning Fan's question, Jia Xu's expression obviously became much darker. Ning Fan raised his eyes, looked straight at Jia Xu, slightly cupped his hands and said, "Sir, please enlighten me!"

"I just talked to my lord about the general trend of the world. I must also understand that my lord, Yu, has many powerful countries in all directions. Looking around from outside, there are many powerful families inside, and aristocratic families are in chaos. I, my lord, have been in danger for a hundred years, and my monarch is enlightened.

, there is no foolish king, this is my great fortune, Yu the Great!"

"However, I, the Great Yu, have been fighting all year round to defend one territory. Foreign enemies have been attacking the four borders all year round. I have spent countless military expenses and food and fodder, but I have achieved nothing!"

"My people in Dayu are miserable. Within the territory of Dayu, nine out of ten houses are empty. If things continue like this, Dayu will be overthrown in an instant!"

…

In the main hall, the two people were talking loudly, but outside the main hall, three figures stood unknown. The leader was dressed in a rich robe, exuding a temperament that had been in a high position for a long time, and his expression was calm and intimidating, which made people feel

Awe-inspiring.

The two people beside him also had a noble look on their faces, and there was a bit of majesty between their eyebrows. They were obviously not ordinary people!

These three people are the three Emperor Yu who have just come out of the palace and come to Prince Xuanyong's palace for a private visit. The person on the left is the commander of the imperial army, Jing Li!

The person on the right is the Minister of War, Ji Sui!

"His Majesty……"

"Shh!"

Jing Li was about to speak, but Emperor Yu waved his hand to stop him. He only heard the voice in the palace come again: "What you said is true, sir. Now I, Dayu, are indeed in a dilemma. I can neither completely solve the border troubles, but also

Unable to solve the internal crisis!"

"In fact, even my father is controlled by the powerful family. I only found out in the military camp. I didn't expect that my Dayu's war horses would be attached to the Chen family's horse farm. How ridiculous this is!"

"After careful study, I realized that most of the salt and iron mines were owned by aristocratic families. Most of the civil and military officials in the dynasty were from aristocratic families, and 70% to 80% of them were even from the four major families!"

"If things continue like this, won't this huge court be monopolized by aristocratic families?"

"When all the civil and military officials in the dynasty become members of the four major noble families, won't my father be marginalized?"

Ning Fan's tone was extremely deep, and there was even a trace of strong dissatisfaction in his words. Even Emperor Yu outside the palace couldn't help but secretly clench his fists when he heard the words, with a touch of emotion on his face, and murmured: "I didn't expect that the second child would actually

You can feel my pain!"

"But, what can I do?"

"well!"

Emperor Yu sighed deeply, while Jing Li and Ji Sui looked thoughtful. Although they also came from aristocratic families, they could not compare with the behemoths of the four famous families.

Just as the three of them were sighing, they heard a gentle voice from inside the palace again: "My lord, don't worry too much. Today's Holy Lord is a wise and wise warrior. Now, in the court, the left prime minister Lin Qiushi is from a noble family and is an in-law of the royal family.

I am completely sincere to His Majesty!"

"The main personnel of the imperial court are still in the hands of His Majesty. Besides, His Majesty was able to fight through the bloody storm, so how could he not have some trump cards in his hand?"

"yes!"

Ning Fan's voice sounded again: "As long as there are no worries on the four sides of the border, no one will ever be able to shake my father's throne!"

"Whether it is the four famous families or the wealthy families, they are just paper tigers after all. If I, Dayu, can one day get rid of foreign troubles and even stabilize one of the four borders, I will be able to free up my hands to cleanse these so-called four famous families!"

"Besides, all of my generals, Yu the Great, are loyal to my father and the imperial court. Each one of them is a pillar in protecting the country!"

"Why should I worry unfoundedly?"

Emperor Yu stood silently outside the palace, with a look of shock that could not be concealed on his face. He did not expect that his second son, who had always been a playboy, would have such a thorough understanding of the court situation.

The barrel of a gun creates imperial power on its own, which is simply brilliant!

"What do you two think of the second brother's remarks?"

"Every word is precious and extremely insightful!"

"Yes, I didn't expect His Highness to have such foresight!"

The two important officials of the imperial court both had expressions of emotion on their faces, but Emperor Yu frowned and said softly: "Since the second brother is so talented, why does he show off to others as a playboy?"

"Is it possible that his dandy appearance has been a disguise over the years?"

Hearing Emperor Yu's muttering to himself, Ji Sui and Jing Li glanced at each other inadvertently, and both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

If your Majesty's prediction comes true, how terrible this dandy His Highness must be. He obviously has a rift in his chest and a good plan, but he is willing to hide his edge, slander himself, and show his face as a dandy. Not to mention other things, just this

Forbearance, even the two of them are ashamed of themselves!

"What the lord said is true!" Jia Xu's voice sounded again, "However, the current stability of the DPRK depends on the balance of multiple parties. Once the border changes, this balance will be broken!"

"How will Huainan react?"

"How will the four wealthy families choose?"

"Would it even be possible for the powerful Central Plains to unite and conspire against me, Dayu?"

"I understand what you mean, sir!" Ning Fan pondered for a long time and said softly: "I have a plan, please give me your advice, sir!"

"My lord, please speak!"

"It is said that to fight against foreign forces, one must first settle the domestic affairs. With my father's current situation, only by maintaining the stability of the court can we find ways to weaken the family's power!"

"The reason why these aristocratic families dare to act unscrupulously and even despise the imperial power is because they have no scruples about the imperial court!"

"The reason is that the imperial court needs help from them, and the borders on all sides are unstable, so the imperial court does not dare to attack them easily!" Ning Fan's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said lightly: "If there is a handle hanging high on their foreheads,

Will the sharp sword make them afraid of three points?"

"My lord means..."

"Set up a secret service in the court, only to obey the orders of the emperor. In the name of protecting the palace, it is given the power to patrol and arrest, guard the guard of honor, provide external intelligence, and engage in investigation, interrogation, and arrest!"

"To monitor hundreds of officials internally and to spy on military intelligence externally, you can kill them first and then report them. It is authorized by the imperial power!"

"What do you think, sir?"

As soon as Ning Fan finished speaking, not only did Jia Xu in the palace look moved, but the expressions of Emperor Yu and the other three people outside the palace were even duller, especially Ji Sui and Jing Li, who seemed to have a cold look on their faces.

If such an organization really existed, how terrible would it be?
