"Fate..." Chu Xiong nodded slowly.

This makes sense.

As for how Fakong killed a master of the Netherworld Sect, he didn't ask much, and he wasn't concerned about such a trivial matter.

"Father, what is going on?" Chu Ling couldn't help but ask.

Chu Xiong glanced at her.

Chu Ling snorted: "If he doesn't say it, and you don't say it, Father, can't you say it?"

"The fewer people know about this, the better." Chu Xiong said.

"Don't worry, I won't spread the word." Chu Ling pointed to her small cherry mouth: "My mouth is very strict."

"You don't actually need to know these things." Chu Xiong said calmly.

"Father—Emperor—!" Chu Ling was so angry that her curiosity almost drove her crazy. She turned to look at Chu Xiang: "Brother Ninth, you also know, right?"

Chu Xiang nodded solemnly: "Little sister, if you don't know some things, you will be happier. It's so good to be carefree, so why bother yourself."

"Then I need to know even more." Chu Ling hummed.

Fa Kong remained silent.

Chu Xiong looked at her helplessly.

If this girl doesn't tell her, she won't be able to find peace anymore and will keep pestering her.

"It will never be spread to outsiders."

"Never spread the word!"

"This involves the country and the country."

"Father, don't worry, I will die in my heart!" Chu Ling puffed up her chest and said solemnly.

Chu Xiong took out Fa Kong's letter from his arms and handed it to her.

Chu Ling took it and glanced at it, then his expression changed drastically: "Father, this..."

"Why are you panicking!" Chu Xiong said calmly: "The sky won't fall!"

"But..." Chu Ling frowned: "If it is true, we can't stop it."

"It may not be a dead end." Chu Xiong said.

Chu Ling's expression changed.

She didn't expect it to be such a big deal.

No wonder Fakong broke his usual habit of staying away from his father and took the initiative to write this letter.

Chu Xiong looked at Fakong: "Fakong, in your opinion, how can we break this situation?"

Fakong shook his head: "Your Majesty has high regard for the poor monk. If it comes to casting Buddhist spells or magical powers, the poor monk is indeed qualified. But if it comes to talking about world affairs, that is not my specialty. I am just a monk with little knowledge and limited knowledge.

Being shallow and making irresponsible remarks about world affairs is nothing more than making people laugh."

"One person is short of wisdom, but many people are wise. It doesn't hurt to talk and listen." Chu Xiong said: "Sometimes if you change the angle, you will have more wonderful ideas."

Chu Xiang said: "Master, please say a few words."

Chu Ling looked at him sideways.

It's really hypocritical. In terms of intelligence, there are few people in the world who can match him, but he still says that he is ignorant and ignorant!

"In this case, I will make a few false remarks." Fakong said.

He could tell that Chu Xiong would never give up if he didn't say a few words.

Chu Xiong made a gesture of all ears.

Fakong glanced at Chu Ling and flicked his fingers.

"Boom!" The letter suddenly turned into powder and flew away.

Chu Ling rolled her eyes at him.

Chu Xiong smiled.

It can be seen that Fakong is indeed a prudent person, acting cautiously and leaving no trace behind.

Fakong said: "Since they have joined forces, we don't have much time left. There are only two ways to deal with it, either head-on, one against two, or destroy their alliance, sow discord and make them turn against each other."

"Head-to-head... We are not opponents. Dayong is okay, we can win. Dayun, Dayun's cavalry is very powerful. If you give me ten years, we may be able to fight. Now..."

He shook his head.

Fa Kong understood.

There is no chance of winning against Dayun now.

So the previous war preparations were preparations to take action against Dayong?

Or is it to deal with Dayun's invasion?

"Master," Chu Xiang said solemnly: "Once Dayun sends out troops and Dayong restrains us again, we will definitely be defeated!"

Fakong said: "Since we can't go head-to-head, we can only find a way to make them turn against each other, or join forces with Dayong to fight against Dayun. After all, if we really want to defeat our Dayong, Dayong will have to think carefully about his situation."

Chu Xiang shook his head and said: "Dayong's enmity with us is too deep, so I'm afraid he won't form an alliance with us to deal with Dayun."

Fakong smiled: "Your Majesty, there are no grudges between countries, there are only interests. Compared with Jiangshan Sheji, grudges can be put aside for the time being. After Dayun is defeated, it will not be too late to discuss grudges again."

Chu Xiang frowned.

Fakong looked at Emperor Chu Xiong: "Your Majesty, I think the new Emperor Dayong has ascended the throne. He is young and ambitious."

Chu Xiang is indeed not made to be emperor.

Paying too much attention to feelings and grudges, instead of putting interests first.

As a leader, he can make his subordinates follow and loyal wholeheartedly, but as an emperor, he cannot.

Being an emperor does not require people to be devoted and sincerely loved. He only needs everyone to fight for their own interests.

What maintains the country is not feelings, but interests.

"Do you think he wants to dominate the world?" Chu Xiong asked.

Fa Kong smiled.

Chu Xiong nodded lightly: "Unify the world..."

He recalled that when he first succeeded to the throne, he was also very ambitious and wanted to surpass his ancestors and be admired by those who came after him.

But when I became an emperor, I realized that things in the world are not that simple.

As an emperor, he seems to be supreme, but he is always constrained in his actions. There are many obstacles and there is no time for him to do as he pleases.

Everyone in the court has different thoughts and calculations. When an imperial edict is issued, it may be followed without violation on the surface, but in practice, it may be implemented in various ways.

When a government order is passed and finally implemented, it may be completely different from what one thought, making people angry but unable to find the culprit.

After killing a group of people, the situation remains the same even if another group of people is replaced. It is hard to recover, manpower is sometimes poor, and one's own strength is too limited.

The emperor only looked beautiful, and the hardships inside were insignificant.

Fakong said: "The emperor who has just taken office will inevitably have the dream of unifying the world. This is our opportunity."

Chu Xiong glanced at him.

This statement is somewhat ironic, as if unification of the world is just a dream and unrealistic.

If we put it this way, the founder of Daqian was also a dreamer, but those who eventually achieve great things are dreamers.

Fa Kong strongly disapproves of war.

In the event of a war, the emperor and the powerful do not have to go to the battlefield to fight, and there is no need to worry about their lives. They only need to stay in the rear and point fingers. All the people will die.

Why should the common people sacrifice their lives for the benefit of the emperor and the powerful?

Fakong continued: "If he has this dream, then the most suitable person to form an alliance with is not Dayun, but us, Dagan."

"Alliance..."

Chu Xiang frowned and said: "But if Dayong betrays the covenant, Dayun will definitely not be lenient and will definitely raise troops to attack Dayong."

Fakong smiled: "If we form an alliance, once Dayun sends troops, we will also send troops to attack Dayun together with Dayong. No matter how strong Dayun is, we can't stop it even if it is attacked from both sides, right?"

"But the question is, will Dayong believe us?" Chu Xiang shook his head: "We have enmity. If we really form an alliance and Dayun sends troops to attack them, but we don't send troops and just sit back and watch the fight between tigers and tigers, then Dayong Aren’t you being tricked?”

"If we sit back and watch Dayong being defeated, Dayun will grow stronger, and it will be our turn next." Fakong said: "So Dayong will not worry about this."

Chu Xiang said: "Wouldn't it be better if we wait until Dayong is about to fail and Dayun is seriously injured to take action? Will Dayong be prepared for this?"

Chu Xiong nodded slowly.

Fakong smiled: "Then it depends on how to make each other trust each other. In fact, complete trust is impossible. Mutual trust to a certain extent is enough."

"Mutual trust..." Chu Xiang frowned and thought hard.

"Fakong, do you have any idea?" Chu Xiong said calmly.
