The Yelin Empire has been inherited for thousands of years and is the longest-lasting overlord on the mainland. As time goes by, the empire's national power continues to grow, and various ills continue to accumulate.
These ills have gradually accumulated with the continuous development of the empire, so it is almost impossible to completely eliminate them, because the ills have been integrated with the empire itself. At least no country leader will choose to shake the foundation of the country.
, to eliminate these shortcomings.
The leader of the country, Hayama, is a far-sighted and thoughtful person. Although he is well aware of the various shortcomings accumulated by the empire, he also knows that these are problems that cannot be easily touched.
If you really take action against these problems, then the empire may have been severely damaged before the ills are eliminated. It is impossible for a person to completely cut off a hand just because there is a sore on it. This is true for an empire
The same applies.
Not taking action to eliminate the shortcomings does not mean that the king has not thought about this issue. When he was with Xiao Yue, he had imagined that once the empire undergoes a huge change, it will be both a crisis for the empire and a crisis for the empire.
a chance.
At that time, Xiao Yue did not understand the meaning of the country's leader's words at all, so Ye Shan explained to Xiao Yue seriously. He first imagined a situation when the empire encountered a serious crisis, and what methods could be used to deal with the crisis.
Especially when the imperial capital is under siege and everyone is unable to deal with it, the final method is to launch the Tianhe Hanging Formation. When talking about the last method, Ye Shan specifically mentioned a method, which is to use the Tianhe Hanging Formation to deal with the enemy.
Nowadays, several super families are undergoing a major purge.
At that time, Xiao Yue looked confused. She didn't understand why Ye Shan did what he did, nor did he understand how to use the formation to purge these families.
Ye Shan, who had nothing to do at the time, explained patiently. He first introduced some characteristics of the formation, and then talked about how to use the rules of the formation to allow these families to violate the rules for selfish reasons, and then be manipulated by the rules.
Set limits and force them to take action on their own to achieve the purpose of cleaning up the family.
With the continuous development, these super families have grown together with the Ye Lin Empire. Because they were the pillar families when the country was founded, the Ye Lin Empire has always given the greatest care to these families, especially spending a lot of financial resources to support them every year.
These big families.
And these big families are still using their power to develop industries throughout the Yelin Empire. No matter where they are, such super families cannot be competed by ordinary families.
For example, the family behind the Wanguo Auction House in Xinkou County is the powerful Zeng family. Not to mention the city owner Jiang Xin, even the county governor Linlang would not dare to offend this trading house.
These super families have so many problems, which has a lot to do with the fact that the family has developed without planning and uncontrolled for countless years, and finally became bloated with all kinds of branches and branches that are too big to lose. The idea of the country's leader Hayama is exactly
Use the Tianhe Hanging Formation to let these families cut off their "extra" branches.
In the process of the development of these families, many branches are not because of their own excellence, but because of their good relationship with the main family. They even have no motivation to develop themselves. They are like blood-sucking insects, adsorbed on these families.
Continuously extract "resources".
If they were extracting those super families, Ye Shan could ignore them, but with the development of these families, the resources that the branches or vassal families are constantly extracting all belong to the Ye Lin Empire.
Dishan cannot easily attack any family, because hurting these branches and vassal families would be tantamount to directly establishing conflicts with these families, which would pose great hidden dangers to the stability of the empire and would inevitably touch the foundation of the empire.
However, when encountering a crisis in the imperial capital, as long as we take advantage of the current special situation and the characteristics of the formation, we can pass the "knife" into the hands of each family. You can call this knife a "butcher's knife," but it can also be called a "governing knife."
"The Knife of Disease".
Looking at everything that happened in front of him and analyzing the hidden secrets, Ye Tao's eyes flashed with light, and he couldn't help but feel deep admiration for his father, Ye Shan.
When something unexpected happened in the imperial capital today, it was extremely difficult to make up the mind to launch the Tianhe Upside Down Formation. It was absolutely unthinkable to use this crisis to do other things, especially to plan for the reconstruction of the empire in the future.
But his father, Hayama, really took precautions and planned everything for today before the crisis happened.
Full of admiration for his father Ye Shan, Ye Tao was even more curious about how these families would deal with the current situation. Many of them showed hesitant expressions, and they subconsciously wanted to discuss with Xiao Yue.
But when they saw Xiao Yue's expression, they swallowed back the words on their lips with distorted faces.
Xiao Yue did not blame everyone for not obeying his orders, but it was entirely up to each family to decide how to resolve the conflict at hand.
If you want to save the low-level tribesmen, you have to risk the lives of those at the peak of the cultivation stage and the strong men in the concentration stage. If you don't want to lose the backbone of these families, you have to lose the low-level tribesmen.
It doesn't seem complicated. There are only two pavilion options. If you choose one, you will lose the other. However, this choice is the most painful and difficult for any family.
Because he understands this truth, Ye Tao admires Ye Lei very much from the Ye family. Although he is about the same age as himself, he still calls Ye Lei "family".
uncle".
This young man didn't look amazing, but after what he said, the Ye family, which consisted of more than a thousand people, suddenly became quiet. It could be seen that many people in the team had ugly faces. It seemed that according to Ye Lei's
standards, they are the ones who are left behind.
However, most of the people close to the core of the team couldn't help but nodded. It was obvious that they all agreed with Ye Lei's proposal from the bottom of their hearts.
Like other families, although they are one big family, the family is divided into several branches. In addition to the blood relationship, they often move around on weekdays, and their relationship with each other will become closer.
After these people discussed, an old man finally stood up and said: "I have no respect for the great elder, but Ye Lei, you are not the great elder of my Ye family, so I cannot accept your proposal. If according to your statement
, shouldn’t most of the people in my family have to give up? How can a family just give up on its members so casually?”
Seeing someone speaking, someone else immediately stood up and said, "Yes, Uncle Ye Liang is right, and I don't agree with your proposal. Some people may enter the country more slowly at the beginning. How can you limit their future because of this?"
Achievements, so easily judge life and death.
There are also many strong men in the clan. Although they are old, many of them performed tasks for the family and suffered some serious injuries, which delayed their practice. The family should have taken care of these people, so how could they
Abandon them at this time, who will still be willing to sacrifice their lives for the family."
"You are so right. Why can you decide life and death with just one word? These people are all members of the Ye clan, and there are many clansmen with much more pure blood than you. They are all descendants of the ancestors of the Ye clan who founded the country.
, are you going to let them die in the Imperial Mountain built by our ancestors and refuse to give them a chance to survive just because of your words?"
The first person to speak was still a little hesitant, but gradually more and more people spoke, and their behavior became more and more rude. Eventually, they even began to point their fingers clearly at Ye Lei.
In response to such changes, several other families seemed to suddenly become energetic. Obviously, the contradictions displayed by the Ye family were roughly the same as those of other families. These people all wanted to see how the Ye family would resolve the issue in the end.
Moreover, compared to the Ye family and the Xiao family, there are still far fewer people from other major families who have transferred. They have one idea in mind.
'If you Ye Xiao family are willing to lose a large number of strong men and transfer low-level warriors, then we can also spend money. If you can really abandon a large number of low-level warriors, then we can also follow your example. Anyway, compared to
For the Ye family and the Xiao family, even if our losses are still much smaller.'
Ye Lei's reaction made Ye Tao even more interested. Faced with the pressing attitude of several elders in the clan, he was able to remain calm and did not open his mouth to defend himself, but remained silent.
Listen and let those who disagree have their say.
After only waiting for a moment, everyone had already said the same thing. Although the reasons were somewhat different, the purpose was exactly the same, that is, they did not want to lose people from their own lineage. Some did not want to lose lower-level people, and some did not want to get close to them.
The strong man sacrificed.
Nodding slightly, Ye Lei turned around calmly and asked: "Second uncle, after we received the order from the king and Mrs. Xiao Yue, have we prepared the corresponding number of people as required?"
A middle-aged man in the team was stunned for a moment, but then he nodded and replied: "We had already selected the corresponding people before we withdrew from the family as required, but the process of retreat later
"There are too many people joining temporarily."
Ye Lei nodded to indicate that he understood, then turned to look at the Ye family team, and said: "Since it is the order of the king and Mrs. Xiao Yue, my Ye family will naturally not turn a deaf ear to it. The four hundred people initially selected, and the preparations
Those who are strong enough to sacrifice themselves, please enter the great formation."
"What do you mean?"
"Don't you want to give up on us all?"
"Ye Lei, you are not Ye Hongcheng. The life and death of our Ye family cannot be decided by a word like a yellow-tongued brat like you!"
"..."
Immediately there were voices of dissatisfaction and anger among the crowd. It seemed that they were much more excited than before. Some people even stepped towards Ye Lei while talking, as if they were going to take action at the next moment.
Slowly raising his hands and pressing them down, Ye Lei said with a peaceful smile on his face: "I think your uncles may have misunderstood. The people I just mentioned are the people the family is ready to leave. Of course
This also includes those who are willing to sacrifice.
You have all heard what Mrs. Xiao Yue said just now. There is an advantage to this formation. There is no upper limit on the number of people who can be teleported away. As long as someone is willing to sacrifice, it doesn't matter how many children of the clan are sent away."
After a pause, Ye Lei walked into the formation with a faint smile. There was a faint chill in the smile on his face, and said slowly: "Of course I hope that everyone present can be sent away safely!"
