"Your Majesty, everything is proceeding according to plan."
Liu Qing bowed and spoke respectfully.
Ying Luo nodded. "That's good. Is there any movement from Chen Yu?"
"Lord Chen's side is quite peaceful, but things are not so peaceful in the capital."
"Oh? What's wrong?"
Ying Luo raised his eyebrows and asked.
Liu Qing said, "It's the Liang family's Patriarch. Liang Dongyuan is going to celebrate his 100th birthday and host a grand banquet. According to reports, they're also going to invite Master Chen!"
Big birthday, please invite Chen Yu...
Ying Luo's face looked a little ugly.
The Liang family is a great Qin family, and Liang Dongyuan was the previous prime minister. However, decades ago, he took the initiative to resign and pushed Li Gao to the position of prime minister.
Over the years, the Liang family has been very stable in Daqin, and no news has been heard.
But this does not mean that the Liang family has no influence.
In fact, the power of the Liang family is terrifying.
In the court, many ministers were his disciples and students. Outside the court, he also had close contacts with the immortal sects.
Even some of the relationships between Li Gao and the Immortal Sect were established with the help of the Liang family.
In addition, the more terrifying point is that the Liang family is the representative of the royal capital family!
The aristocratic families are an extremely special group in the Qin Dynasty.
He comes from a noble family and has served as officials for generations.
It is a class that ordinary people cannot even imagine.
For a long time, the reason why Ying Luo did not dare to implement large-scale reforms in the court was that he was concerned about the immortal sect.
On the other hand, the existence of aristocratic families has created great obstacles to the implementation of many actions.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about the selection of talents.
The aristocratic families formed the largest network of relationships and controlled almost all channels for talent selection.
Most of the talents selected are those favored by aristocratic families.
If this continues, it will be difficult for Ying Luo to find useful people in the court.
It can be said that if the aristocratic families are not eliminated, the kingdom will not prosper!
"Li Gao is Liang Dongyuan's student. Most of the powerful people killed by Chen Yu this time are related to the aristocratic families headed by the Liang family. Inviting Chen Yu at this time shows that he has no good intentions."
Liu Qing nodded.
"Indeed. And this time, it is rumored that the Liang family has invited many people from the immortal sect to come. I'm afraid..."
Liu Qing didn't say the following words, but Ying Luo already understood.
This is a Hongmen Banquet, the purpose is not to celebrate the birthday, but Chen Yu!
As for what will happen at the banquet?
I'm afraid no one knows except Liang Dongyuan!
"Your Majesty, what should we do now? Should we alert Lord Chen?"
Ying Luo shook his head.
"Compared to Chen Yu, I'm actually more worried about Liang Dongyuan."
"I don't know what kind of trouble Chen Yu will cause this time. I hope he won't go too far."
When Liu Qing heard this, he was stunned at first, and then he smiled bitterly.
Indeed, it seemed that I was worrying about the wrong person.
Looking back at what has happened so far, Chen Yu seems to have never suffered any loss.
If you really think about it, it's the other party who suffers the loss.
The only thing to worry about is whether Chen Yu will make things too big.
"Never mind, let him be. I don't think he'll cause any big trouble."
"It's time to clean up those aristocratic families."
With a wave of his hand, Ying Luo stopped asking about the matter and continued to discuss the affairs of the Sage Academy with Liu Qing.
On the second day, Chen Yu was staying in Mingjingsi when he received an invitation letter from the Liang family.
"Huh? Liang Dongyuan? Why did he invite me? I'm already feeling annoyed, I won't go!" Chen Yu said angrily.
Chen Yu was in a bad mood because he was given a buff and his attempt to commit suicide failed.
Shen Chen nodded.
"It would be wise for you not to go, sir. Liang Dongyuan is a representative of an aristocratic family, and Li Gao and the others are all his students and old friends."
"Although they have not been well-known, they have benefited greatly from people like Li Gao."
"Your Excellency eliminated Li Gao and the others, and you also offended them."
Chen Yu was a little surprised.
He had not known these things before.
"I offended them? Then they will deal with me?"
Suddenly, Chen Yu felt a little excited.
Shen Chen nodded.
"It's very likely. These noble families appear to be righteous and moral on the surface, but secretly they are thieves and prostitutes. They might secretly attack you, my Lord."
"So, sir, you must not go! They might attack you at the birthday party!"
Not only Shen Chen, but everyone else also had serious expressions.
Chen Yu's eyes widened.
"Oh my god, they're so cute, aren't they so sinister?"
For a moment, Chen Yu's heart was burning with excitement.
There is hope, there is hope!
I thought it was not an easy thing to commit suicide.
Now it seems that there is hope again?
"So, sir, your decision is correct. You can't go to this birthday party!"
"No, I thought about it, I still want to go!"
Chen Yu's face turned serious and he spoke very seriously.
Are you kidding? It’s so difficult to commit suicide nowadays, how can I miss such an opportunity?
"But, but..."
"No buts!"
Chen Yu interrupted Shen Chen.
"You just said that these aristocratic families pose a great threat. For the sake of Daqin, I can't let them go."
When Chen Chen and the others heard this, they were shocked and their eyes were full of admiration.
You are indeed a lord. For the sake of Great Qin, are you going to take action against the aristocratic families in the royal capital?
"Don't worry about him, just let him go."
At this time, Lin Xuanyin spoke, not caring.
