Fairy, please let me explain.

Chapter 737 The Long Night
Men are superior to women, which is a custom determined by power among ordinary people. However, from the moment a person embarks on the path of cultivation, this power gap is made up.

Although the ideas and customs of the lower class have influenced the upper class to a certain extent, this is ultimately limited. There is no shortage of women in the superstructure of the sects, dynasties, and superstructures.

It was not that Xu Yinhe had not anticipated Li Yaoxuan's desire to establish a female emperor. In other words, he had thought about the possibility of every royal heir who could inherit the throne.

Li Yaoxuan was thinking about the future, and so was he.
However, Xu Yinhe was unable to see through Li Yaoxuan's firm decision.

This old friend hid himself very well.

The way he supported Wu Yuan was like storing water in a reservoir, which would flow over time. Every move to strengthen Li Qingyan's power was concealed by the greater national policy.

After Empress Mu's rebellion ended, Li Qingyan's military power was not taken back in order to maintain stability and to send a signal to the Empress's family, the Wucheng Marquis' Mansion, that this was the end of it.

The prince is still the prince.

Wu Yuan is still leading the troops outside.

One inside and one outside.

Isolating the inside and outside and cutting off the prince's contact with Wu Yuan is naturally to prevent the recurrence of the "Queen Mu Rebellion".

When braving the blizzard and natural disasters and using the royal family's national destiny to kidnap the prime minister's residence to wage war in the northern border, Xu Yinhe should have seen the clues.

Because he's doing the same thing.

Pave the way for future successors and establish Xu Yuan's prestige with a victory in a major battle.

But after reading the internal information from the North, he couldn't help but dispel this doubt.

Too hasty, too risky.

In a war like this, the slightest mistake would lead to the dam cracking, and all the water stored in the past twenty years would be lost in an instant. Moreover, this old friend later protected Li Zhaoyuan, who plotted to assassinate Wu Yuan. Such actions inevitably drew people's attention to the second prince who had been suppressed behind the scenes.

It was just Li Yaoxuan's last words, the third brother was born with a broken meridian.
For some things, even if the doubts in one's heart have reached a certain point, there is still a glimmer of hope, so when one hears the answer from the person himself, one can't help but feel sad.

As the sun gradually rose in the east, Xu Yinhe finally calmed down:

"not enough."

Li Yaoxuan’s preparations were sufficient to support the empress in ascending the throne, but this was not enough to keep the emperor’s cooperation until the sect’s immortal fell.

The most important piece of the puzzle is missing.

"Xu Changan's death?"

The giant pit extends out into a trench that stretches for dozens of miles. The colorful light of the sunrise is dazzling and brilliant, reflected on this "friend" standing on the top of the mountain.

Facing the bright new day, the already old Li Yaoxuan smiled gently, his wrinkles trembling slightly:
"You and I both know how fragile the binding force of the marriage alliance is. Blood is the bond of inheritance and a blood alliance bestowed by God. But a qualified leader will not take these into consideration. This is how I am."

Speaking of which,

Li Yaoxuan's voice was deep and rich:

"You are the same, and Xiao's father Xu Changan will also be the same!"

"and so,
“It is far from enough to let Xu Changtian become the emperor’s husband, we also need to let Xu Changge become the next generation head of the Xu family.

"Prime Minister, I really like the temperament of your eldest son. He is exactly the same as Feng Jiuxuan, not lacking in ability, but terribly stubborn in some matters. When he only has one younger brother left in the world, he will never rebel as long as he is not the head of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

As he spoke, Li Yaoxuan lowered his eyes and glanced at the imperial dragon robe on his body, and said:
“If he is in power, he will be a tyrant. Even if your ministers put my clothes on him, he will suppress the matter by force. When Zong Qingsheng, Hua Hong, Lou Ji and others are killed, the threat of your Xu family to the imperial power may be much smaller.

"Of course, it is possible that it won't happen, but that is beyond my control. Planning for one generation, and then planning for the second and third generations is beyond human ability."

The words fell,

Li Yaoxuan spoke each word:
"So, Xu Changan must die."

Xu Yinhe refused to give in, his dark pupils were deep:

"You did it?"

"Didn't you already find out the truth about his death back then?"

"Too shallow."

"Don't even mention the many assassinations that your third son encountered along the way. Have you forgotten so quickly? The sect has always been fearless in its actions."

"Is it."

Xu Yinhe felt relieved.

Li Yaoxuan frowned:
"Do you believe it?" Xu Yinhe looked frankly:
"You don't have to lie. Just as you said, I am the same as you. Even if you admit it, I will tolerate it for the sake of the overall situation."

Li Yaoxuan was silent for a few breaths, then said slowly:
"too fast"

Xu Yinhe raised his eyebrows.

Li Yaoxuan's eyes showed reminiscence, and he said:
"I know your attitude towards your blood relatives, so every time you plan, you must be extremely cautious. This is true for Xu Changtian and Xu Changan. But that time, the sect acted very decisively. Only one day after the intelligence came, Xu Changan was assassinated."

The meaning is clear.

He knew some of the inside story beforehand, but did not stop it.

Xu Yinhe's fingertips trembled slightly under his sleeves:

"The last words are superfluous."

“Not redundant.”

Li Yaoxuan smiled and shook his head, took a deep breath, looked in the direction of Di An, and said slowly:

"If I keep some words to myself, I will never feel happy. I am about to die, and besides the major issues of my family and country, I will also think about some unimportant things.

"Xu Yinhe,

"Tell me, we have come so far together, is the friendship between you and me stronger, or is the hatred stronger?"

"."

Xu Yinhe remained silent and had no intention of answering this question.

He knew him too well.

The other party asked this question just to answer it himself, and he didn't intend to let him answer it at all.

And what happened next was just as Xu Yinhe had expected.

"I've thought about it and found that these things are not important anymore. There must be an end between you and me."

Li Yaoxuan waved the heavy sword in his hand, creating a gust of wind that messed up the two men's robes. Then, with a "bang", the top of the sword smashed into the ground, and the mighty force extended, instantly tearing the earth apart:
"Okay, I have just said so much, I believe you have understood what I mean. I don't want to see the emperor and his ministers killing each other, but I also don't want to see the imperial power overthrown after my death."

Xu Yinhe glanced at the new trench cut by the heavy sword.

Miles long,

It's not even half as powerful as Ran Jianli's sword.

but,
This was just a casual gesture from the emperor.

The meaning is clear.

He, Li Yaoxuan, may not be able to kill you, Xu Yinhe, but he can make you be killed by something from the sky.

Speechless in his heart, Xu Yinhe lowered his eyes and said:

"Minister, I don't understand."

Li Yaoxuan was silent for a while. His hand holding the heavy sword trembled slightly. The wrinkles on his face seemed to deepen a lot. He murmured in a low voice, sounding hoarse:

"Can't understand
"Why don't you understand
"We have finally come to this point. We only need to disperse the cultivation of your three sons, and the emperor can continue. The important affairs of the world, hundreds of millions of people, and centuries-old ideals, just because he is your blood relative, you don't understand?!"

Speaking of which,
Li Yaoxuan suppressed some emotions and said urgently:

"Xu Yinhe, I promise you to stay alive and see the future we want for me. Is this feasible?"

"."

But after he finished speaking, there was still silence.

The stalemate lasted for a long time.

"bass!"

The edgeless heavy sword was inserted into the ground.

Li Yaoxuan looked very tired. He turned around with his body hunched over, looked up at the bright rising sun in the sky, and smiled. His voice sounded as if he had used up all his strength:

"Prime Minister, the long night of the Great Flame is approaching, and I am tired. You should return to the capital and make good preparations."
