...

Listening to the teachings of the Grand Princess of Yiyang, Liu Tong calmed down and looked at her naturally, trying to understand the deeper meaning in her words.

Now that things have come to this, Liu Tong is completely indifferent to these rumors.

Regardless of whether what others say is true or false, she knows in her heart whether she has the idea of ​​recreating the Chunling Army.

The armies of the past were indeed very strong, but so what?

She is Liu Tong. Even if she spends her days slacking off and mostly only plays a role in correcting the course of events, her abilities are in no way inferior to those of her ancestors.

Having personally witnessed the achievements of his ancestor Liu Xiu, Liu Tong had a deeper benchmark for comparing his own abilities.

Even if the other party is just Liu Xiu's lingering regret, he is still Liu Xiu. The title of "Child of Destiny," "Child of the Plane," "Great Magician," and so on, all indicate that the other party is extraordinary.

The other party did not show kindness or authority towards him, a junior, but treated him as an equal. This attitude alone reflects a lot of issues.

It can be said that Liu Tong, despite realizing this, still did not change his way of dealing with people and his lifestyle.

If one has to do everything himself, then he is not a monarch.

Having found ample reason to convince himself, Liu Tong looked at the Grand Princess of Yiyang and accepted the situation calmly.

Princess Yiyang, who was giving her explanation, was filled with surprise and shock when she saw Liu Tong in this state, so much so that her explanation was filled with complex emotions.

One can see the whole leopard from a single glance. Just by looking at Liu Tong at this moment, the Grand Princess of Yiyang knew just how suitable Liu Tong was.

It can be said that, apart from gender, every aspect conforms to the characteristics of an excellent monarch. In fact, compared to the excellent monarchs of the past, he may be lacking in some strengths, but he has made up for many of his weaknesses.

It can be said that among everyone present, Liu Tong and the Grand Princess of Yiyang were able to handle the current situation with ease due to their own abilities. However, for Kou Feng, the situation was completely different.

Even though he was sitting upright with tea and snacks on the table in front of him, Kou Feng did not feel relaxed at all. Instead, he felt restless.

Despite being the strongest among everyone present, he was also the most mentally unstable.

Feeling the faint gazes around him, gazes that were not visible to the naked eye but were real, Kou Feng felt an even stronger sense of aura and atmosphere.

In this atmosphere, Kou Feng felt that every word and action was being watched, and that every action had a price. The emperor's favor was evident in every way.

All Kou Feng could do was to remain as still as possible to avoid any misunderstandings, which made him appear very restrained.

Without any unexpected actions, there will naturally be no unexpected events. However, the excessive silence makes it seem like a mere ornament brought by the Grand Princess of Yiyang, which is basically useless.

"This guy's strength is lower than I imagined, so there's no need to target him, right?" Lu Yu glanced at Si Niang and sighed softly.

For a young person who hasn't even mastered internal energy to be able to sense their aura is a huge problem. "Being brought into the palace at such a young age must be to broaden their horizons. How can they broaden their horizons if they don't put any pressure on them?" Si Niang looked at Lu Yu with a puzzled expression, completely unaware that there was anything wrong with her actions.

Pressure breeds motivation, and danger breeds vigilance. Sisi Niang thinks this statement makes a lot of sense.

“It’s a pity this young man isn’t the kind of young man we want to cultivate. There’s no need to put more pressure on him in this regard.” Lu Yu gently patted Si Niang and said in a rather gentle tone.

Not long after he finished speaking, Kou Feng felt the faint gazes around him vanish instantly, as if the previous pressure had been an illusion.

As a martial artist, Kou Feng had great faith in his senses, especially the sense of danger he had just felt. It was absolutely impossible for it to be an illusion or a deception.

There's only one possibility for things to turn out this way: he was deemed safe.

For some reason, when he was considered safe, Kou Feng felt somewhat discouraged.

Being targeted and suppressed indicates that he still poses a threat and that his strength is not bad, but now that none of that exists, the significance is self-evident.

However, Kou Feng's personal actions did not affect Liu Tong's communication and exchanges with the Grand Princess of Yiyang at this time.

"So essentially, what they are pursuing is simply to avoid their family's fortune being depleted and to prevent them from falling into decline in the future era of territorial expansion..." After listening to the story, Liu Tong understood the truth that the Grand Princess of Yiyang had said.

For powerful families, especially the Twenty-Eight Generals of Yuntai, do they really care about their fortune being consumed by the state under normal circumstances?

The inability to prosper the population certainly seems like a very serious consequence, but conversely, has the principle of sharing weal and woe with the nation been achieved?

The answer is yes, they did indeed live and die with the nation, but their family population could not prosper, though their status and power were not greatly diminished.

In peacetime, especially given the current climate, people can bear such a price.

Rights and responsibilities are intertwined. Since they have borne the brunt of the nation's fortune and its backlash, it is only natural that they should gain a superior status and rights.

However, in the era that followed, anyone with a bit of insight and knowledge knew that the future would inevitably be an era of significant territorial expansion, with population being of paramount importance.

A large and prosperous family has a greater tolerance for mistakes, a higher ceiling, and is more capable of transforming from an aristocratic family into a powerful one.

In the past, most aristocratic families did not want to become feudal lords because they did not want to bear the negative consequences of being a feudal lord. Now that these negative consequences have been greatly reduced, how many aristocratic families would not want to become feudal lords?
They carved out their own territories, becoming kings and dominating their regions.

“Yes, the aristocratic families of today, the future feudal lords, if they do not fight now, throughout the eight hundred years of history, when will there ever be a dynasty like this?” The Grand Princess of Yiyang smiled gently, her tone calm and composed.

"So no matter how beautifully they put it, the essence has never changed." Liu Tong, who had a deep understanding of this, simply smiled and then calmly said, "In that case, they should be prepared, right?"

The Grand Princess of Yiyang nodded gently, looked calmly at Liu Tong, and said steadily, "If possible, everyone would prefer this to be a political exchange, an exchange of interests, rather than simply an act of benevolence..." (End of Chapter)
