Chapter 43 The Minister of Power is Imprisoned
"The power of sects is stronger than the power of the state, which is the current situation of most countries on the Qixuan Continent. Of course, our Maple Leaf Kingdom is no exception!" Ye Zifeng continued to tell Ye Han: "Our Maple Leaf Kingdom is quite good. Since the founding of the country 150 years ago, the royal power of the royal family is still strong. For most of the more than a hundred years, it has been able to maintain a good situation with domestic sectarian forces, and among the countries around us, there are even royal families. We should pay tribute to the most powerful sectarian forces in the country for many years!"
"The royal family pays tribute to the sectarian forces, and the sectarian forces can be so strong?" Ye Han raised his eyebrows and asked, "Has there never been a royal family in a country that could overwhelm sectarian forces?"
"I don't know about other places, but among the few countries near us, there has been only one time in hundreds of years, and the power of the royal family has surpassed the sect!"
"Oh? Really? Second brother, tell me, which time is it?" When Ye Han heard that there was an exception, he was immediately interested.
Facing the curious Ye Han, Ye Jianfeng and the other three looked at each other and looked at Ye Han together. The eyes of the three were full of smiles, but they just didn't say anything.
"Why are you looking at me like this? Why do you say it quickly? No, no, there must be a problem, there must be a problem!" The strange appearance of Ye Jianfeng and the other two made Ye Han realize that the answer to his question should be a little strange, so he immediately lowered his head and thought about it. After a while, Ye Han suddenly raised his head and looked at Ye Jianfeng and the other three with great light in his eyes: "Is it..."
"Hahahaha..."
Ye Jianfeng, Ye Tianba and Ye Ye Feng looked at each other and suddenly laughed loudly. In the laughter, Ye Jianfeng said loudly with great pride: "Yes, yes, you are right. In the past few hundred years, the royal family has only suppressed sects once, that is, the more than ten years before your grandfather Ye Jingtian disappeared. When your grandfather Ye Jingtian was there, he could hardly raise his head of those sectarian forces in China with his peerless cultivation. Even if the Feng Tianyu of Ling Yunzong later reached the level of Xuanhuang, making Ling Yunzong the first faction of the Maple Leaf Kingdom, he still did not dare to be disrespectful to your grandfather at all!"
"Sure enough, that's true!" Although there was some speculation in his heart, Ye Han was still excited when it was confirmed from his father and brother. Although his soul was not from this world, the memory of the twelve years and the family affection he felt from Ye Jianfeng after awakening made him full of a sense of belonging to the Ye family, so every Once when I heard my grandfather's amazing deeds in the past, I was always excited, and this time was no exception!
However, being excited, Ye Han knew very well that even if Ye Jingtian had been extremely brilliant, after all, it had been 20 years, and there would be a lot of changes in these 20 years, so Ye Han continued to ask, "What happened to those sects after Grandpa's disappearance?"
"It's a pity that after your grandfather disappeared, the sectarian forces gradually raised their heads again!" After sighing, Ye Jianfeng replied, "In the year or two when your grandfather first disappeared, because those sects were afraid that your grandfather would suddenly come back one day, they were still afraid and not too arrogant, but as time went on, your grandfather had no news, so those sects gradually opened. He began to move and develop, and acted more and more arrogantly. Even ten years ago, Ling Yunzong, known as the first sect of the Maple Leaf Kingdom, actually forced Fengye Qingkong to pay tribute to them. With the existence of the old man Feng Tianyu, Maple Leaf Qingkong was forced to compromise, and this tribute was ten years!"
Ye Tianba and Ye Zi Feng couldn't help sighing: "Yes, although the blood between our Ye family and the royal family has faded any more, and your grandfather's affairs have made us and the royal family in the same power, but when I think of those sectarian forces lost in your grandfather. After the trace, it is so rampant that our hearts are still very uncomfortable!"
Ye Han knows the mood of Ye Jianfeng and the other two people very well. Indeed, seeing that everything his father once worked hard to manage has been destroyed, but he is unable to save it. This kind of thing will be uncomfortable for anyone.
For a moment, the four stopped talking, and there was a silence in the hall, until a rapid footsteps suddenly came in from the outside, and the four were awakened from the silence. The four looked at each other and thought at the same time, "Finally there is news!"
With the sound of footsteps, a man dressed in strong clothes walked into the hall with an envelope. After saluteing Ye Han, the man handed the letter in his hand to Ye Zifeng: "Second young master, the secret letter!" Now all the internal affairs of the Ye family have been handed over to Ye Zifeng, so the man gave the letter directly to Ye Zifeng instead of Ye Jianfeng, who was sitting in the main seat. As for the dark hall, it was the Ye family's intelligence agency.
"Well, you go down first!" Ye Zifeng took the letter, waved his hand to the man and said.
After the man turned around and walked out of the hall, Ye Zifeng opened the letter and read it carefully. After half a sound, Ye Zifeng raised his head and met the eyes of Ye Han and the three people. He said slowly, "The action of Fengye Qingkong was very fast. Before Zhao Youde reacted, the 5,000 forbidden army surrounded Zhao's mansion. Come on, none of the Zhao family, including Zhao Youde, have run away. Now everyone in the Zhao family has been imprisoned in the heavenly prison!"
"No one ran away. How could it be like this? Didn't the Zhao family's offerings run away? They are all Xuanjun-level masters!" Ye Tianba said in surprise.
"This is not strange!" Ye Zifeng shook his head: "According to our intelligence, four of the seven offerings in Zhao Youde's mansion left Maple Leaf City five days ago. They should have been sent by Zhao Youde to subdue some forces that refused to return to him. Moreover, this time the action of Maple Leaf Clear Sky was very large, directly sending out all the five offerings of the royal family, five to three So in the end, Zhao Youde's three offerings could not escape!"
"So that's it, hehe, it's also Zhao Youde's bad luck!" A sudden look appeared on Ye Tianba's face, and he turned his head and looked at Ye Han: "Lao San, now all the people in Zhao's house have been arrested. When will our next plan be implemented? Ha ha, I can't wait for your brother!"
"Don't worry, we don't want to have any action recently. As long as we observe secretly, Maple Leaf Qingkong is very clear about the gap between himself and Zhao Youde's strength, so he will definitely take advantage of Zhao Youde's power without leader and quickly attack Zhao Youde's wings. When the strength of both sides is not much worse, I Let's act again!" Ye Han said quietly.
Ye Han's action in the palace today is not only to provoke the fight between Zhao Youde and Fengye Qingkong as soon as possible, but also the most important thing is to let Fengye Qingkong hit Zhao Youde hard before Zhao Youde reacts, because Zhao Youde's power is much stronger than Fengye Qingkong. If you simply provoke the fight between the two. With the strength of the maple leaf clear sky, it must not last for too long. Only by letting Zhao Youde's power be weakened first can the two tigers compete with each other. That is the most beneficial to the Ye family.
In addition, Ye Han is not worried that Fengye Qingkong directly killed Zhao Youde after imprisoning Zhao Youde, because only by controlling Zhao Youde alive in his hands can Maple Leaf Qingkong deter Zhao Youde's power and prevent him from acting rashly, but he Fengye Qingkong can take the opportunity to take action, so Zhao Youde must be able to live well. Of course, Zhao Youde has paid too little attention to the royal family over the years. Now he falls into the hands of Maple Leaf Clear, and it is certain to suffer some hardships.
In addition, Ye Han is not worried that Zhao Youde will be imprisoned forever. Zhao Youde's people may panic at the beginning, but soon, they will try their best to rescue Zhao Youde. At that time, if Ye Han feels that the strength of both sides is almost the same, he doesn't mind helping Zhao Youde. One person.
In the next few days, everything was as Ye Han expected. Maple Ye Qingkong really began to deal with Zhao Youde's power. Whether it was in the civilian system or the army, every day there were people affiliated with Zhao Youde or were arrested for various reasons, or were directly assassinated. In exchange, of course, all of them were People with maple leaves in the clear sky.
And these things don't only happen in Maple Leaf City. According to the information sent by the Ye family, the same thing is happening every day in other cities of the Maple Leaf Kingdom, even in the fiefdom of those nobles and rich families. It's just that Maple Leaf City is under the eyelids of the maple leaf clear sky, so it is cleared relatively quickly. In just five days, the power of Zhao Youdeming in Fengye City has been completely cleaned up, and the power in Zhao Youde's secret place has also been cleared.
However, it was not going well outside Maple Leaf City. After the panic in the first few days, Zhao Youde's forces gradually began to recover and gradually began to resist the cleaning of the maple leaf clear sky. However, because Zhao Youde was captured and people had ambitions, these forces had no heads, but they were not He was very willing to save Zhao Youde, so he could only take care of his own, so although there was resistance, the cleaning of the clear sky of the maple leaves was still unstoppable.
With the passage of time, several leaders in Zhao Youde's power gradually understood that it was impossible for them to fight against the maple clear sky in this way. If so, they could not escape the end of extinction, but let them choose a leader among their own people to convince everyone. People, but it is impossible, so in the end, after some discussion, these people finally decided to work together to rescue Zhao Youde in the prison, so the secret rescue operation gradually began.
However, just as these people were about to take action to rescue Zhao Youde, they heard a very unfavorable news, that is, Maple Leaf Qingkong suddenly ordered Zhao Youde to be taken to the palace to receive the heavenly city for imprisonment, and Zhao Youde's family was still imprisoned.
This news caught Zhao Youde's men off guard and immediately became embarrassed, because they knew that in the worship hall of Tiancheng, there were five Xuanjun-level offerings, while Zhao Youde's subordinates had only four offerings left. Although there was only one Xuanjun missing from the two sides, their strength was much worse, and There are so many court guards in Tiancheng, which puts the action to rescue Zhao Youde in a dilemma.
