Chapter 395 Shock and Association
It seemed that Meng Zhao was puzzled and disagreeing with his explanation. Meng Hongdao thought,
"Let's answer your first question again. You don't understand why the Li family took such a big risk to do such unsure things, and only felt that their desires were unsatisfactory. This statement is actually untenable.
Let me ask you, Zhaoer, have you ever known what the Li family in Xuzhou has experienced?
If there is no external stimulation, how could a family of nine surnames be so stupid? Couldn’t there be no smart person who can see the danger?”
Meng Zhao was stunned. Qingjun's face was thought of something, his face looked a little ugly, and he bowed to Meng Hongdao,
"Uncle San means that the Li family has to do it. Could it be that it is related to the Beitang Royal Family?"
He is smart and quick-witted. He was taught by the mysterious man Zhao Hun earlier. Later, he liked reading books and had a good understanding of the general trend of the world.
Meng Hongdao's face was similar to Meng Zhao. Although his uncle and nephew did not say it clearly, they had a bit of tacit understanding.
On the contrary, Meng Chuan was still a little overwhelmed with a big face full of depression, and said helplessly,
"Dad, Fourth Brother, just say whatever you have. There are only three of us in this room, what are you afraid of?"
Meng Hongdao smiled and looked at his son who had excellent martial arts talents but didn't like to use his brain. He was both grateful and disappointed. After his light glanced at Meng Zhao, who was depressed and sighed infinitely.
How great would it be if Meng Zhao was his son!
"Chuan'er, this matter is too important. I will teach you well today and listen carefully.
Since Taizu founded the country, the land of China has been governed by the Beitang royal family and the sects of all sizes and large families and small. This is due to the promise made by Taizu to the heroes during the Taishan Alliance. Our Meng family is one of the vested interests.
At that time, the world was settled, and many other countries outside China had actions and had plans to invade China. Fortunately, Da Yong was united in the foreign countries, and his national strength was restored and his heroes were strong. It was a fit for the king and his ministers to destroy the ambition of foreign countries.
But time has changed. After so many years, the power of local aristocratic families has continued to expand and grow. The military and political affairs have become increasingly vague, which has greatly damaged the interests of the dynasty and the royal family. How could the Beitang royal family remain indifferent?
In fact, two generations of emperors have been going on since the great emperor Beitang Sheng. Both of them have the idea of weakening the powerful families, rectifying the sects, and seizing the imperial power, but none of them have been realized and they have lost their lives soon."
Meng Zhao was not surprised at the beginning, he had noticed it.
Dayong is a bit like a tribal alliance in ancient times. The Beitang royal family was the co-rule of the human race and the tribal alliance leader. The rest of the forces are scattered tribes. Although they surrender to the royal family, they have great autonomy.
Of course, it is just a similar thing. After all, I have experienced the baptism of the era of unified imperial power. In fact, the Beitang royal family still has a certain influence on the local area, and major forces will maintain their loyalty.
However, the fundamental contradiction between the royal family and local forces is there, and local forces will develop their own forces and territory on a large scale, which is inevitable for anyone. The royal family wants to seize the imperial power and truly turn the world into the Beitang royal family. It is relatively indescribable to describe it.
And as time goes by, this contradiction will become more and more intense until it cannot end.
Meng Zhao knew this very well, and even said that there were no one in the world who could see this.
However, what he never expected was that Meng Hongdao's last words, the cause of death of Beitangsheng's grandfather and father, was actually related to this power struggle, which was simply horrifying.
He even felt that it was Meng Hongdao who was exaggerating.
If this is the case, wouldn’t the Beitang royal family have turned against each other long ago?
Seeing that his words shocked the two children, and Meng Zhao obviously disbelief, Meng Hongdao continued to say,
"Don't think that I'm exaggerating. In fact, the cause of the deaths of the first two emperors was hidden by their eyes, and they all died of illness, but they did die at the hands of an old monster of the other eight surnames.
The reason is that these two people were circulating in the palace that they were interested in suppressing the powerful families and expanding the imperial power.
My elder brother and I learned about this from the Kong family, and the Kong family also agreed to this approach.”
Now let alone Meng Zhao, even Meng Chuan, a naughty young man, was a little scared. The dignified king of a country and the body of an emperor was assassinated. It was two consecutive times. How high is that man's martial arts?
Moreover, to such a lawless level, what kind of style should it be to hold the life and death of the emperor and the emperor in their palms?
There is a master Cui Wei in the court, but he can't stop him. I'm afraid that the old monster's martial arts skills are almost the same as the best in the world.
From this point of view, this world is really a prey of the weak, even the great emperor of the royal family is no exception.
"But, Uncle San, if this is true, the emperor now should have put down some thoughts that he shouldn't have. Otherwise, he would be the one who is unlucky in the future, so how dare he act rashly?"
If someone can kill two, they may not dare to kill the third one. If it were Meng Zhao himself, he would not have such dangerous ideas without absolute confidence and confidence.
Protect yourself first and then make progress. This is the safe way.
"Ha, Zhao'er, you have been in Yujing for ten years. Don't you know what kind of character and style this emperor is today? What's he afraid to do?"
Meng Zhao was stunned. Yes, he had heard of it for a long time. Today, the Emperor Beitang Sheng was in power and had the ability to rectify the administration of officials and appease the people's livelihood. He repeatedly suppressed small rebellions in the territory, which was quite like a wise ruler.
But the more wise the monarch is, the more he is, he is more happy with merit and always feels that he is different from other emperors.
If others cannot do it, they may not be able to do it.
For example, Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty opened the imperial examination, dug through the Grand Canal, and established the capital of Luoyang to reduce the influence of the Longyou nobles. He was considered a great achievement, but he was too eager for quick success and instant benefits. He conquered Goguryeo three times, but he directly dragged down the originally prosperous Great Sui Dynasty, and eventually ended up as a king who had lost his country.
Although Beitang Sheng has the style of a wise ruler, it may not be true that a wise ruler is. Even wise rulers and foolish rulers are often just a line of separation.
Meng Zhao suddenly thought of the fourth son of the Meng family whom he pretended to be, who was summoned to Yujing Dacien Temple with thirty-five other noble children ten years ago. Could it be that he was just chanting scriptures and not doing anything else?
Be bolder, are those thirty-six people all the chess pieces used by Beitangsheng to deal with the nobles of aristocrats, some of them followed, some of them refused.
Those who do not follow will look for someone else to replace the family and wait for an opportunity to act like him?
Some things cannot stand thinking, and the more you think, the more you think, the more terrible it feels.
Of course, it may also be just Meng Zhao's own random thoughts.
But Zhao Hun's existence and the other party's way of letting him lurk in the Meng family are really imaginative.
