Chapter 1167: Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger
Hai Xiaoyun has won the support of the slaves, and now public opinion has risen sharply.
It's just that the emperor's side is not idle.
After Hai Xiaoyun gained the support of the slaves, the emperor gathered the slave owners.
These slave owners now have full authority to support the Emperor, and have begun to brainwash their slaves as the Emperor wishes.
Naturally, the slaves did not dare to resist these slave owners, and they also became more miserable under the oppression of the slave owners.
The whole society seems to be shrouded in a layer of war fog all of a sudden.
A social upheaval is quietly condensing the power of the outbreak.
Causing the slaves to fight, this is actually the emperor's strategy.
Because in this way, even if Hai Xiaoyun wins the election and ascends to the throne in the end, a tragic class struggle will break out.
When the time comes, the whole country will be in chaos, and the emperor will be able to rise up again and make a comeback.
After all, you must know that the army is in the hands of the scholars, although Hai Xiaoyun is popular with the people, but he does not have the support of the military, and he, the emperor, is also sitting on pins and needles.
It can be said that Emperor Haitu has exhausted all the mechanisms, and in the face of his counterattack, Hai Xiaoyun may suffer an unprecedented impact.
......
And Hai Xiaoyun's side, after getting the news from the palace, the entire venue fell into a deep contemplation.
"The present situation is that because of our complete assistance to the slaves, we have completely broken off our relations with the nobles. ”
"There are already quite a few slave owners who are suppressing slave movements. There are even many slave owners who have sold their slaves to other countries. ”
"If this continues, we will probably have at least half the slave votes we get on the day of voting. ”
Mr. Pu informed everyone present of the situation.
After hearing this, Hai Xiaoyun said angrily.
"Don't these guys know that slaves also have the right to vote? and they're violating human rights by doing that. ”
"They can afford to sell slaves abroad. ”
"The emperor has broken the rules of the campaign, and we must report to Han Shangren. ”
The Han Shangren in Hai Xiaoyun's mouth is naturally Han Fei from the Interception Heavenly Mountain.
Han Fei was ordered by his elder brother Ziyang to come to the Hai Dynasty to supervise the fairness of this election for the throne.
Hai Xiaoyun thought that it was unfair for the emperor to let the slave owners sell their slaves cheaply, so he planned to report it to Han Fei.
However, Zhou Peng, who was sitting on the side, said.
"The emperor's approach did not violate the rules. He just co-opted the slave owners, and the slave trade is a personal act of the slave owners, so I don't think it should be of much use for you to report it. ”
"Instead of thinking about letting Senior Brother Han punish the emperor, you should think about how to face the next situation. ”
"It seems to me that you don't have enough enlightenment. ”
Zhou Peng saw through the truth, and his words made Hai Xiaoyun a little puzzled.
"Enlightenment? What does Brother Zhou mean?"
After hearing this, Zhou Peng asked rhetorically.
"Do you understand, why did the emperor do this? Or do you feel the consciousness of the emperor?"
"The Emperor's Enlightenment?"
Hai Xiaoyun shook his head, he didn't actually think about it so much.
Zhou Peng couldn't help but shake his head.
"The emperor is ready to lose the election, that's why he came up with this way to break the net. ”
"His goal is that even if you succeed in the election and become the new emperor. But you also have to face the war that broke out among the nobles. When the time comes, he may regain the throne in another name. ”
"This is the real purpose of the emperor. ”
When Zhou Peng said the emperor's purpose, Hai Xiaoyun immediately realized.
"I see, is this the emperor's consciousness?"
"That's right, since you are now competing with the Emperor for the throne, then you should have the same consciousness. Have you figured out what you're going to do if you lose the election?"
After hearing this, Hai Xiaoyun frowned.
"Lost the election?"
His words not only made Hai Xiaoyun fall into deep thought, but the subordinates of Hai Xiaoyun who were present also looked embarrassed one by one.
They never thought about what would happen if they lost the election. Perhaps from the very beginning, they were full of confidence.
But now, even the emperor Haitu is ready for failure, how can they continue to be so confident and proud?
"Since it's an election, there are winners and losers. ”
"You're the one who is on the election, so you have to be prepared to lose. ”
Zhou Peng's words were like an initiation, which made Hai Xiaoyun suddenly.
After Hai Xiaoyun heard this, he hurriedly responded.
"What Brother Zhou said is extremely true, and we must also be aware. ”
"Now that the Emperor is ready for defeat, we can't let the misfortune happen. ”
"And I'm also prepared to fail. I'm not going to throw in the towel. ”
Hai Xiaoyun also has a certain attachment to the throne.
The reason why he is so persistent is because he has to prove his true identity to the world.
Although Hai Xiaoyun is an illegitimate child, he does have the bloodline of a descendant of the Hai family.
After listening to what Hai Xiaoyun said, Elder Pu, who was standing behind him, stood up and said.
"Lord, now that the old man thinks we should do something about it. ”
"Since the slave owners want to sell all the slaves now. Then we have to start building momentum and start your slave revolt first, what do you think?"
Pu Lao had an idea, he planned to start a slave revolt now.
In the event of a civil war, the emperor will certainly take care of himself, and the election will continue.
After hearing this, Hai Xiaoyun frowned and said.
"Did it come to this point? I didn't want to start a war. ”
Zhuo Bufan had already made it clear before leaving.
War is not an end in itself, it only plunges the whole country into a civil strife that lasts for attrition.
This is why Zhuo Bufan chose to use the election law from the beginning.
Zhuo Bufan's purpose is very clear, that is, to use the election method to elect the true emperor of the Hai family.
Whether the result is a tidal flat or a small cloud, he doesn't care.
But people are selfish, and Hai Xiaoyun is the same.
For the sake of the throne, he is also willing to do anything.
Hai Xiaoyun looked at Zhou Peng on the side and frowned.
"Brother Zhou, do you think it's appropriate to do this?"
In fact, Hai Xiaoyun wanted to ask what kind of attitude Zhou Peng and the Interception Mountain behind him would be once the war was launched.
After hearing this, Zhou Peng replied indifferently.
"I was instructed to make sure that the election was going smoothly in three months' time. ”
"After three months, the empire must elect a true emperor. As for whether this empire will prosper or perish in the future, it has nothing to do with me, and it has nothing to do with the Interception of Heavenly Mountains. ”
"Whether you live or die is your own creation. If you plan to start a war before that. Then I advise you, you are really sure that you can deal with the emperor and his army?"
Zhou Peng is actually looking at this battle for the throne as an outsider.
After all, when he received Zhuo Bufan's request from the beginning, Zhuo Bufan made it clear to him that he should not completely help Hai Xiaoyun, this kid is not simple.
After listening to Zhou Peng's words, Hai Xiaoyun nodded and said.
"I see. Brother Zhou, don't worry, I have my own plans. ”
After Zhou Peng heard this, he didn't say anything more, and left the conference room with Nana and Zhuozhuo.
After leaving the conference room, Nana asked Zhou Peng and said.
"Peng Peng, why don't we stop him? If a war really breaks out, there will be a lot of lives and deaths!"
The excellence on the side is also asking himself.
"Yes, second brother, my brother said that he does not support the two sides fighting for the throne by war. ”
After hearing this, Zhou Peng shook his head and said.
"Xiao Yue can rest assured that this war will not be fought for a while. I will make sure this election is completed before then. ”
"But your eldest brother told you no, when will he come back?"
After hearing this, Zhuo Zhuo shook his head.
"My brother didn't say it, but he said he would definitely come back. Witness the final victory in this battle for the throne. ”
"For my brother, the Sea Dynasty is a very important memory. ”
I heard Zhuo Bufan say before that the Great Sea Dynasty had a deep relationship with him.
The reason why he intervened in the battle for the throne of the Great Sea Dynasty was because he did not want the empire to be managed by an incompetent emperor.
Since he had to choose between Hai Xiaoyun and Haitu, Zhuo Bufan could only use this election method to choose a virtuous monarch.
After hearing this, Zhou Peng nodded slowly.
Zhuo Bufan is right, Hai Xiaoyun is not simple. ”
"Do you remember the previous assassination! I secretly investigated and found that the person who carried out the assassination was Hai Xiaoyun's secret guard. ”
Zhou Peng's words made both Excellence and Nana stunned for a moment.
"No, Peng Peng, did Hai Xiaoyun's secret guard defect?"
Nana asked.
After hearing this, Zhou Peng shook his head and said.
"Of course not, that assassination scene is just a drama directed and acted by Hai Xiaoyun, I have to say that this scene is really exquisite, even I was almost deceived. ”
Zhou Peng's words made Nana and Excellence confused.
"Peng Peng, are you saying that Hai Xiaoyun deliberately sent someone to assassinate himself? Is he crazy?"
In Nana's opinion, only a madman would send someone to assassinate herself.
You know, those assassins don't have long eyes, what if they take his life?
After hearing this, Zhou Peng smiled.
"He's a little crazy, otherwise he wouldn't have come up with such a clever plan. ”
"The reason why Hai Xiaoyun did this is nothing more than to blame the emperor. ”
Zhou Peng was a smart man, and he only needed to use his brain a little to guess Hai Xiaoyun's purpose.
"Blame the emperor?" Excellence was not as smart as Zhou Peng, so he didn't react for a while.
After hearing this, Zhou Peng smiled.
"That's right, during the assassin's assassination, Hai Xiaoyun had just issued a declaration of freedom. ”
"At that time, Hai Xiaoyun needed to be recognized by the slaves, so he had to let the slaves know that he, Hai Xiaoyun, was really on the same front as these slaves. ”
So for this reason, he planned this self-directed assassination. Who do you imagine is most likely to want to stab the sea clouds?"
Zhou Peng greeted, and Nana replied immediately.
"Emperor!"
"And slave owners. Excellence added on the side.
"That's right, whether this one succeeds or not, the object of suspicion will definitely be locked on the emperor and the slave owner. ”
"Think about it, how would the slaves react if they found out about this?"
Nana listened and continued.
"They will feel that Hai Xiaoyun was assassinated for the sake of these slaves. I understand Peng Peng, in this way, the slaves will trust Hai Xiaoyun even more. And not only that, but it will also lock the object of suspicion on the emperor and them. ”
"It's also outrageous for other civilians. It will only make the emperor leave a bad impression in their hearts, right, Peng Peng?"
Nana told Zhou Peng about her analysis.
After hearing this, Zhou Peng nodded with satisfaction.
"That's right, Nana, you're getting smarter. ”
"Hai Xiaoyun is doing this, it is a bitter ploy. And it's a bitter ploy that kills multiple birds with one stone. ”
And it turns out that after this incident, the topic of this matter was very hyped. Basically, now everyone thinks that it was Hai Xiaoyun who was assassinated by the emperor. ”
It can be said that the people's support for Hai Xiaoyun is now much higher than that of the emperor. ”
"Later, you also found out about the matter in the Heavenly King's Mansion, Hai Xiaoyun responded and suddenly launched an activity to liberate slaves. He didn't even talk to me about it. ”
Later, he said that it was a temporary idea, and he could not bear to see the slaves suffering, so he suddenly decided to start the war to free the slaves. ”
"But the war of liberation that was decided on the impromptu was so smooth, and it was as smooth as a liberation movement that had been prepared for a long time. ”
"If I'm not mistaken. The eighth prince of the Heavenly King's Mansion is probably Hai Xiaoyun's bottom card in the palace. ”
......
When Zhou Peng told Nana and them all about his guess, Nana and Zhuo Zhuo were dumbfounded.
"No, Peng Peng, are you saying that that nasty dead fat man is Hai Xiaoyun's person? He is the biggest slave owner in this country, and if Hai Xiaoyun wants to free the slaves, won't he want to harm his interests?"
Nana was a little confused.
After hearing this, Zhou Peng replied.
"This is Hai Xiaoyun's method. Although I don't know how he made that Eighth Prince his person. But one thing is certain. Hai Xiaoyun's liberation movement in the Tianwang Mansion must have been a play that he and the Eighth Prince teamed up to play for the emperor. ”
"If I guess wrong, all the things Hai Xiaoyun said in the meeting just now were actually said to me. ”
"This guy is ready for a real counterattack. He wanted me to stay on the sidelines. ”
"This guy has calculated everything. I'm afraid we have long been his pawns. ”
"Although I don't want to admit it, but in terms of strategy, Hai Xiaoyun is a step above the emperor. ”
"This guy looks like a pig on the outside, but he is actually a tiger at heart. The so-called pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, but that's it!"
Zhou Peng is not a fool, although Hai Xiaoyun has been doing some unsightly things behind his back.
But I have to say that Hai Xiaoyun succeeded.
For this throne, Hai Xiaoyun can be said to be scheming and calculating, step by step.
Now, everyone has entered his chess game, and his dead game is alive.
