Chapter 131

Wang Kang's eyes coagulated. He didn't expect that Cai he would ask him this question, which is the most worthy topic at present.

It took one year for the Zhao emperor to take over the throne to clean up the inner court, and two years to straighten out the government. Now he has finally begun to deal with the vassal lords, and his father has been granted the count

Wang Kang knows all these things clearly now, and Cai he asked him this question. He is the son of Wang Dingchang and a sensitive man. How can he talk to each other at will.

As if seeing Wang Kang's doubts, Cai he said with a smile, "you are really a little fox. You are totally different from your father's straightforward character."

"In fact, you should thank me," Cai he said mysteriously.

"How do you say that?" Wang Kang asked suspiciously.

"Guess what?" Cai he sat down and said, "to remind you, you just said that."

Hearing this, Wang Kang suddenly asked, "is it your strategy to promote the common nobles to fight against the old nobles?"

"Smart! It's just a little bit. " Cai he praised it.

I see. Wang Kang nodded. He had already understood Cai he's identity before he came.

Cai he was a minister in the period of the old monarch. He once served as an internal counsellor in the imperial court. The internal counsellor was not of high grade, but he could directly face the emperor. He was a special counsellor for the monarch.

This is why Wang Dingchang asked him to come to Cai he for advice. This is Cai he's duty.

In order to avoid the situation of the prime minister dominating the throne, the Zhao emperor divided the prime minister into two parts and set up the left prime minister and the right prime minister.

At that time, the emperor of Zhao wanted Cai he to be the right prime minister, which shows that the emperor of Zhao attached great importance to him. However, it is surprising that Cai he gave up his position and went home.

He returned to Yangzhou academy and devoted himself to his studies.

It must have a great effect to make the emperor of Zhao treat such a person. After Cai he's advice, Wang Kang can naturally infer.

"How's it going? Should I thank you? " Cai he asked with a smile, "otherwise, you are a rich man at most. How can you become a young earl?"

"Should we be grateful, or not?" Wang Kang said with deep meaning.

"Ha ha!" When Cai he knew what Wang Kang meant, he laughed, "naturally, it depends on one's will."

"Strategy is for the emperor of Zhao," Cai he said, shaking his head. "But I never thought that the emperor of Zhao would choose your father!"

"In fact, I thought the Zhao emperor would choose the Li family!" Cai he also said.

"Which Li family?" Wang Kang asked.

"The Li family in Yanzhou!"

"Is it the Wudao family?" Wang Kang knows a little.

"That's right," Cai he nodded. "The Li family is a martial arts family. It's said that there were generals in their ancestors. The Li family's children have practiced martial arts from generation to generation. Compared with that, they have a stronger flavor of the world."

"By the way," Cai he seemed to think of something, and said: "this time your Earl's house and the assassin Dong Yiwu's fiefdom contest, in which Li Yuyao, the younger generation of the Li family, will fight!"

"Is this man good?" Wang Kang asked, this is an important message. Although Cai he is now returning home, he certainly knows a lot from his previous position.

"Very powerful," Cai he said in a deep voice, "you must do your best to deal with this man. He 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 Mania!"

Wang Kang nodded, this time to find Cai Heguo really worth the trip, this is very important information.

"So? Is the Li family on the other side? " Wang Kang asked.

"I don't know..." Cai he shook his head and said, "I know the Li family well. This man is upright and resentful. He doesn't look like a person who can go along with those people."

"but now the situation is complicated and everything is hard to decide. It's not clear."

"I have no job now. I'm just a man in white. These are not my concerns." Cai he said with a smile: "it's your turn We are worried about the count's house

"Why did you put forward this plan to the emperor? Promoting new aristocracy against old aristocrats? " Wang Kang asked curiously.

"It's a transfer of contradictions," Cai he said in a deep voice: "it's imperative for the Zhao emperor to deal with the old aristocrats, and they naturally know this. What can they do? It is not a matter of imperial edict to cut off the vassal and cut off the expensive. "

"It doesn't work if the pressure is light. What should we do if the pressure is heavy? What should we do if we join the enemy? These are all problems! "

At this time, Wang Kang continued: "so you have come up with this method, to change a big contradiction into a small confrontation, and form a trend of mutual understanding..."

"Yes, that's the best way to do it now!" Cai he nodded.

Wang Kang continued: "in the final analysis, it's all about the struggle between the central government and the local government, and it's about the interests. The emperor of Zhao wants to strengthen the centralization of power, but the old nobles don't want to give up their rights..."

"You..." At this time, Cai he suddenly looked at Wang Kang in surprise."What's the matter?" Wang Kang asked curiously.

"Nothing, you go on..."

Wang Kangshu did not know how much shock his words had brought to Cai he, because Wang Kang's words had already talked about the essence.

Strengthening centralization is the fundamental intention of the Zhao emperor.

Not knowing Cai he's shock, Wang Kang continued: "the old aristocracy's tail is too big to fall, which virtually weakens the central power of the monarch and poses a threat to the imperial power. Therefore, it is imperative to depose the old aristocracy."

"You're right about one thing. It's really urgent. It needs to be done step by step. Otherwise, the consequences will be hard to predict."

This is like the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang enfeoffed many of his sons to be kings in various places, this is a vassal.

After that, the vassal kings were so powerful that they began to cut their vassals. When Emperor Hui of Ming Dynasty Zhu Yunwen stepped down, he wanted to cut his vassals, and then angered the vassal kings. Zhu Di took advantage of this opportunity to sit on the throne of the emperor and became the emperor of Ming Dynasty.

This is similar to the current situation.

"Wang Dingchang has a good son!"

At this time, Cai he suddenly sighed: "it's not easy for you to see this when you are young. Outsiders say you are a black sheep..."

"As a matter of fact, I have been paying attention to you all the time. I know that what you do seems to be a loser but has profound meaning. It seems absurd but extraordinary..."

"Mr. Cai's words are too heavy. I'm just a bit of nonsense. I can't be taken seriously." Wang Kang shook his head.

"Do you have a better way?"

"I didn't," Wang Kang said directly. "There are many aspects involved in it, and I don't know about them. I dare not comment on them..."

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

"Oh? What is it? " Cai he is interested.

, "no matter the civilian aristocracy or the old aristocracy, they are all aristocrats," Wang Kangchen

said. "Have you ever thought of supporting the new aristocracy against the old aristocracy, if the ultimate old aristocrat decadent,"

Wang Kang looked at Cai Ho's eyes differently: "how can you guarantee that the new nobility will not eventually walk the way of the old aristocracy?"
