Chapter 540 Purpose
Xu Yuan did not lie.
Before the end of the year, at the core secret meeting after the grand banquet at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lou Ji and the senior officials submitted a very formal proposal to Xu Yinhe on how to deal with the survivors of the underground palace.
As a huge force that spans the entire territory of Dayan, this is not the first time that the Xiangguo Mansion has dealt with similar matters. In the process of crazy expansion, the Xiangguo Mansion has conquered many tribes similar to the survivors of the Underground Palace.
There are only a few thousand people in the small ones, and there are millions in the large ones. But even if the scale reaches millions, none of the treatment plans of these tribes can enter the core secret meeting of the Prime Minister's Mansion for judgment. An informal summons can directly seal its fate.
The survivors of the underground palace are a tribe that can enter the core secret society.
And when it comes to this matter, the attitude of the senior officials of the Prime Minister's Office, who have always had different conflicts in the past, is surprisingly consistent.
Split—digest.
This is the attitude of both radicals and conservatives.
This is the first time for many factions in the prime minister's government to unite.
Because this group of underground palace survivors are so special, they are so special that senior officials like them are deeply worried and even fearful.
“.I hope the young master can treat the Mu Xi people well.”
And soon, Bai Muxi also responded to Xu Yuan.
As a force comparable to that of a country, the senior officials of the Prime Minister’s Office must not only focus on the present, but also need to see the situation decades from now.
Physique of cultivation is random. Although it can be gradually stabilized through bloodline iteration between cultivators, it will take a long time.
Once this restriction is gone, according to the customs of the underground palace survivors, the population of this nation will expand rapidly in a short period of time, and the inertia of surviving under the Jedi for thousands of years will make them monolithic and unafraid of death.
If Bai Muxi can't figure it out, or if she can figure it out but pretends to be confused to test his bottom line, then her people will be divided step by step in the next few months, and will completely become history in a few decades.
If this extremely xenophobic religious nation is given a chance to grow, it will become a huge threat to senior officials like them, to the future Prime Minister's Office, and even to the entire Great Yan.
Only the descendants of those families that have existed for more than a thousand years have preliminary "certainty", but it is only preliminary.
Locally entrenched in the countryside and counties for hundreds of years, each generation draws like a stallion. Many of the heirs in the family are just mortals. They can continue in large part because they know how to adapt and marry through marriage. Win over outside cultivators.
Xu Yuan hopes that Xiaobai can think of this, because the underground palace survivors are a nation that has reached the edge of the cliff.
This time, the father used the absolute prestige accumulated over decades to suppress the opinions of the people below and gave him the right to choose.
ˆ “.”
There are 400,000 survivors in the underground palace.
This is an unprecedented and frightening figure.
This made the senior officials of the Prime Minister's Office keenly aware of the crisis.
Her voice was very soft:
In the long river of time, practitioners have never stopped exploring the physical cultivation, but no one has ever been able to get a definite answer, only some recorded experiences.
so,
The option that is in the interests of everyone is to split up and assimilate this nation.
In the dead underground palace, the population of the underground palace survivors is limited by the lack of food and the desperate situation surrounded by ghosts, and can barely maintain a scale of 400,000 people.
and,
The direct descendants of these aristocratic families are no more than hundreds or thousands at most.
It’s just that they are not afraid of the overall strength of the survivors of the underground palace, but they are afraid of the frighteningly high proportion of those who can practice cultivation.
Hearing this, Xu Yuan's brows did not relax, but tightened even more.
This answer was considered surrender, but he was not satisfied.
Hunted slightly, Xu Yuan asked softly:
“Be kind. How do you want me to be kind?”
Bai Muxi's eyes flickered and she blinked, but before she could speak, Xu Yuan's voice sounded again:
“.” After the words fell, silence fell on this spacious and grand staircase.
A trace of panic began to spread in Bai Muxi's heart.
After coming to Dayan and traveling thousands of miles, everything I saw and heard told me that her people are special. As long as they are given time, they can occupy a place in this new surface world.
But from this, there is still a lingering worry in my heart.
She was tested, and the result left her feeling hopelessly powerless.
The senior officials of the prime minister's office were more decisive than she imagined.
In silence, Bai Muxi slowly leaned down and knelt on the cold steps. She lowered her eyes and stared at the toes of the man's boots in front of her, and said softly:
“Mu Xi. I would like to be only the master’s maid in this life.”
Hearing this, Xu Yuan’s expression did not change at all:
“Don’t fight with me, make it clear.”
Bai Muxi took a deep breath and pursed her lips slightly under the purple tulle:
"After today, there will be no more commanders of Qicheng in the world, only Bai Muxi, the maid at the young master's side."
“In other words, you will never come into contact with people from the underground palace again in your life, right?”
“Yes.” Bai Muxi lowered his head.
"Wise choice."
Xu Yuan raised his hand and gently placed it on the hair of the woman in front of him, and said in a faint voice: "I am very satisfied with your answer, but what about the other two high-level priests in your underground palace?"
Bai Muxi did not hesitate at all:
"Young master, you can call me in my name at will, or kill him directly."
Xu Yuan smiled when he heard the words, slowly leaned over and pulled the woman up from the ground, and said softly:
“Xiaobai, I said that as a smart person like you, you should have figured out the stakes a long time ago. Why do you want to get into trouble with me like this?”
The breeze ruffled the gauze, and Bai Muxi looked at the man's narrow eyes at close range and said:
“It’s just a matter of luck.”
"Is it really a fluke? We have been so open and honest today, and the knots in each other's hearts seem to have been lifted. If you have any purpose, you can just say it."
Xu Yuan also looked at her bright eyes and did not believe what Bi Luochun said.
He understood Bai Muxi's reason for testing, but conducting such testing could easily touch the bottom line of Xu Yuan and even the prime minister's house. It would be stupid if there was no way out.
By raising this matter at this time, Xiaobai should have what she really wants.
ˆ “.”
After looking at each other for a few breaths, Bai Muxi suddenly opened his eyes, took a step back, pursed his lips, and said softly:
"Young Master, according to the custom of the Underground Palace, every minister has a change of fate. Although Mu Xi has severed ties with the Underground Palace, I still hope that the Young Master will allow Mu Xi to fulfill this responsibility. This will mean that Mu Xi has completely severed ties with the years in the Underground Palace. ceremony"
"speak English."
ˆ “.”
ˆ “.”
ˆ “.”
“.Please give me your favor and give Mu Xi an heir.”
.”Xu Yuan.
There was silence for a moment, and then a young man in loose plain clothes leaned over and bowed.
The soft and graceful body leaned forward slightly, and the chest seemed to be unable to hold it, and seemed to be leaning down.
The body is properly curved, allowing the lavender fabric of the dress to outline the attractive waist and hip curves.
