Wang Kang's eyes narrowed. He didn't expect Cai He would ask him this question, which is the most worthy topic of preaching at the moment.

Emperor Zhao took one year to reorganize the inner court and another two years to resolve the Qing Dynasty. Now he has finally begun to deal with the Fangui, which has led to his father being named Earl...

Wang Kang is now aware of these things, and Cai He asked him this question again. He is the son of Wang Dingchang and is also a sensitive person. How could he talk about them casually?

As if seeing Wang Kang's doubts, Cai He smiled and said, "You are such a little fox. You are completely different from your father's straightforward personality!"

"You should actually thank me," Cai He said in a mysterious tone.

"How do you say this?" Wang Kang asked in confusion.

"What do you think?" Cai He sat down and said, "Tip: You said it just now."

After hearing this, Wang Kang suddenly realized and asked in surprise: "Is it your plan for Zhao Huang to promote civilian nobles to confront the old nobles?"

"Smart! It's really clear at a glance!" Cai He praised.

So that's it, Wang Kang nodded. He had already known Cai He's identity before coming.

Cai He was a minister during the old monarchy period. He served as an internal consultant of the court. The internal consultant itself was not of high rank, but he could directly meet the saint, and was dedicated to the monarchy.

This is also why Wang Dingchang asked him to ask Cai He for advice. This is Cai He's job.

In order to avoid the situation of prime minister dominance, Emperor Zhao succeeded to the throne and banned the position of prime minister, and divided it into two parts, and established the left prime minister and the right prime minister.

At that time, Emperor Zhao wanted Cai He to be the right prime minister, which shows how much Emperor Zhao valued him, but surprisingly, Cai He actually gave up his prime minister and returned home.

Return to Yangzhou Academy to study hard.

If Emperor Zhao can make such a person, it will definitely have a great effect. After Cai He mentioned it, Wang Kang could naturally infer it.

"How is it? Should I thank me?" Cai He asked with a smile, "Otherwise, you are only a rich young man at most, how can you become the Count Master?"

"Do you deserve to thank me, or should you not?" Wang Kang said with a little deeper meaning.

"Haha!" Cai He knew what Wang Kang meant, and he laughed, "It depends on personal wishes."

"The strategy is for Emperor Zhao, I dedicated it to," Cai He shook his head and said, "But I never expected that Emperor Zhao would choose your father!"

"Actually, I originally thought that Emperor Zhao would choose the Li family!" Cai He said again.

"Which Li family?" Wang Kang asked.

"Li family in Yanzhou!"

"Is it that martial arts family?" Wang Kang vaguely knew something.

"That's right," Cai He nodded and said, "The Li family is a martial arts family. It is said that their ancestors had a general. The Li family's children have been practicing martial arts for generations. Compared to the richer atmosphere, the atmosphere is more intense."

"By the way," Cai He seemed to remember something and said, "This time, the battle between your Earl's Mansion and the governor Dong Yiwu's fiefdom is the battle between Li Yuyao, the younger generation of the Li family!"

"Is this person awesome?" Wang Kang asked. This is an important piece of information. Although Cai He is retiring now, he must have known a lot of people with his previous status.

"Very awesome," Cai He said in a deep voice: "You must deal with this person with all your strength. This son is only in his early twenties, but he is very talented in martial arts. He is the leader of the younger generation of the Li family and has the title of sword snail!"

Wang Kang nodded. It was really worthwhile to come to Cai He this time, and this was a very important information.

"So? Did the Li family turn to the other side?" Wang Kang asked.

"I don't know this..." Cai He shook his head and said, "I am an old acquaintance with the head of the Li family. This person is upright and jealous. No matter how you look, he doesn't look like someone who can be with those people."

"But the situation is complicated now, everything is difficult to determine, and it is hard to explain,"

"I am not a half-time job now, just a man in white. These are not my concerns," Cai He said with a smile: "It's your Earl's Mansion that is concerned about."

"How did you come up with this strategy to Emperor Zhao? Promote the new nobles against the old nobles?" Wang Kang asked curiously.

“This is a paradoxical transfer,”

Cai He said in a deep voice: "It is imperative for Emperor Zhao to deal with the old nobles, and they naturally know this, but what should we do? Cutting down the vassal states and killing nobles is not an imperial edict."

"If the pressure is light, it has no effect. If the pressure is heavy, what should I do if the pressure is heavy? What should I do if I surrender to the enemy and other countries? These are all problems!"

At this time, Wang Kang continued: "So you came up with this method, changing a big contradiction with a small confrontation, forming a trend of mutual confrontation..."

"Yes, this is the best way now!" Cai He nodded.

Wang Kang continued: "Whether the vassals were cut off or the old nobles resisted, it was actually a dispute between the central and local governments, and a dispute over interests. Emperor Zhao wanted to strengthen centralization, but the old nobles did not want to give up their rights..."

"You..." At this time, Cai He suddenly looked at Wang Kang in surprise.

"What's wrong?" Wang Kang asked curiously.

"Nothing, you keep talking..."

Wang Kang didn't know how much shock his words brought to Cai He, because Wang Kang's words had already reached the essence.

Strengthening centralization is the fundamental intention of Emperor Zhao.

Wang Kang naturally didn't know Cai He's shock and continued: "The old aristocrats are too big to lose their throne, and they invisibly weaken the central power of the monarch and pose a threat to the imperial power. Therefore, it is imperative to dismiss the old aristocrats!"

"You are right. This matter is really unhurried. It needs to be done step by step, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable."

This is like in the early Ming Dynasty, when Zhu Yuanzhang conferred many of his sons to be kings in various places, which was a feudal title.

Later, the vassal kings were extremely powerful and began to reduce the vassals. Emperor Hui of Ming, Zhu Yunwen, stepped down, because he wanted to reduce the vassals, and then angered the vassal kings. Zhu Di took this opportunity to sit on the throne of the emperor and became the later Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty.

The matter is similar to the current situation.

"Wang Dingchang gave birth to a good son!"

At this time, Cai He suddenly sighed: "It is not easy for you to have such a person at a young age. Outsiders say that you are a big prodigal son..."

"Actually, I have always been paying attention to you. I know what you do seems to be absurd but has a deep meaning, seems to be absurd but extraordinary..."

"Teacher Cai is so serious. I am just a little nonsense and can't be honest." Wang Kang shook his head and said.

"Then do you have a better way?"

"I don't," Wang Kang said directly, "This involves all aspects. There are many things I don't know yet, and I dare not comment..."

"However, I know that your plan actually has great disadvantages!" Wang Kang said again.

"Oh? What is it?" Cai He became interested.

"Whether it is a common noble or a veteran noble, they are actually aristocrats,"

Wang Kang said in a deep voice: "Have you ever thought about supporting the new nobles against the old nobles, if the old nobles eventually fall into decline?"
