Fighting arena? Father-in-law, do you think the emperor is going to instigate me to go to war with the Murong family?"

Maybe not before, but today, I openly forced Your Majesty to swallow the anger in my heart for you, and Your Majesty has already figured out my attitude towards you, my son-in-law."

As he laughed and shook his head, Wang Boren walked and murmured: I have 81 government soldiers in my hands. The entire empire, more than half of the government masters are my disciples. Half of the power in the court is also under my control. In fact, a long time ago, Your Majesty had the intention of inciting me to bite the Murong family, but I was not deceived. This time I tried my best to protect you, and Your Majesty would know that everything about me is everything about you. If he can't command me, he will think of you to get involved in this chaos."

Leran nodded, Yang Feng followed Wang Boren and chuckled: "My father-in-law thinks, how will the emperor get me into this chaos?"

Your Majesty is profound and has many bad ideas. He has thousands of ways to make you and the Murong family become powerful, but you must not be fooled."

With a smile, Wang Boren said proudly: I have been a prime minister for decades, but I still stand firm. I only judge the situation and maintain a balance limit. The emperor trained you to be a hunting dog, so that you could hunt. But you must remember the truth that the cunning rabbit dies and the lackeys cook."

If a hunting dog is not capable of hunting, the emperor will abandon the dog without hesitation. If the hunting dog is capable of hunting, if it is too strong and bites the prey to death, then it will be useless. The emperor will cook the hunting dog. If the hunting dog is weak and bites by the prey, the emperor will just change the hunting dog. The reason why I can live to this day is because I only shout at the prey but do not really bit it. The prey also knows that I will not really bite it, and I will not really fight with me in life and death."

Speaking of this, Wang Boren couldn't help laughing, laughing helplessly: After all, I am just a dog around the emperor, but I am a smart dog. I have been confronting my prey, but there is no result, and the emperor has no choice. If he wants to kill me, the prey will pounce on him and bite him to death. But if he doesn't kill me or want to change a dog, my old dog and that prey will not agree. Maybe we will join forces to kill him, so we have become the current situation of love and killing each other, and we have been balancing."

but……"

As he said that, Wang Boren's expression gradually became serious: the situation is getting more and more critical, and this balance will not last long. As more and more jackals, tigers and leopards are surrounding the hunters, my old dog cannot maintain him for long. Maybe at the critical moment, in order to protect himself, my hunting dog has to return to nature, join the jackals, tigers and leopards, and surround the emperor together. By that time, the wind and thunder collapse and the heroes compete for it."

Nodding lightly, Yang Feng smiled deeply and said with deep understanding: The world's general trend, long-term unity will be divided, and long-term unity will be unified. This is a law, and it is no big deal. Besides, heroes come from troubled times, and perhaps wind and thunder collapse may not be a disaster. This empire is too corrupt, and it is time to destroy the old and build the new."

Hey, you are very optimistic. You seem to be looking forward to the chaos in the world. It seems that you are ready to compete for the heroes."

With a raised brow, Wang Boren looked at him evilly and smiled and said, "Tell me, what do you want to do after storing so much food?"

You get it?"

Nonsense, as the prime minister, I take charge of national affairs. Your Yang family consortium takes advantage of the flood in the south of the Yangtze River and the entire empire is storing grain at a high price. If I don’t know, I will stop doing this as the prime minister, hum.”

With a sneer, Wang Boren's eyes flashed with a bright light, and he guessed: Could it be that you want to borrow food disaster and rebel, right?"

Shaking his head, Yang Feng smiled mysteriously: If I borrowed food disaster and rebelled, then Murong and the warlords in the East would justify me as a traitor. By then, the wind and thunder collapsed, their families would benefit, and I would become a great devil, and be despised. I would not do such a stupid thing as making wedding dresses for others."

Well, it's good that you know this, then you are... raising the grain price, waiting to sell high-priced grain, and making a fortune?"

No, no, I don’t lack money, and I don’t need to do such things that can damage my good deeds and make money.”

Then you are..."

Wang Boren was a little confused.

Yang Feng grinned and said with a smile: Father-in-law, the Murong family has been preparing for war for so many years, but has not taken action. Why? And why is the most important thing for the emperor to be the emperor? Because the emperor has this thing, the Murong family has never dared to take action. It is just waiting for the emperor to lose this thing before the time comes. Do you understand?"

You mean…fame?”

Mingran nodded, and Wang Boren suddenly knew everything.

The emperor did not take charge of the troops himself, nor did he personally participate in government affairs of state construction, but no one dared to rebel against him, just because he had something that no one else had, just fame, and the legitimacy of rule.

This reputation can come from the military achievements of using gold to cut through the thorns, just like the first emperor conquering the world; it can also come from the inheritance of the ancestors, such as the prince's succession to the throne.

These two ways of gaining fame are the most recognized by the people.

In other words, the legal ruler recognized by everyone is the emperor, and if you proclaim yourself as an emperor, you will become an emperor.

In view of this, the emperor became famous in one day, and those generals who held military power dared not rebel. Otherwise, they would be traitors and traitors, and the whole world would be snatching them.

In the end, no matter who belongs to the world, it has nothing to do with the one who takes the lead in treason. This treason is equivalent to making wedding dresses for others.

Therefore, the Murong family had a rebellious spirit, but they had never dared to take action, because they were afraid that they would kill the emperor by then, and the Dongfang, Nangong and Dugu families would join forces to destroy the Murong family with great righteousness and finally divide the world by themselves.

And it is precisely because of this reputation that the emperor can maintain his throne by balancing his power.

However, once the emperor loses his reputation, it will be reasonable for everyone to rebel and there will be no scruples on the moral level.

For example, if the emperor is debauchery, kills innocent people indiscriminately, and poisons the world. If the people live in poverty, they will become foolish monarchs or tyrants, lose their fame and attract all heroes.

Like King Zhou of Shang, Emperor Yang of Sui, etc., they are all lost like this.

Of course, in the prosperous times, it doesn’t matter if you are a little stupid; but in the chaos, if the emperor’s behavior is a little wrong, it will attract criticism from others and become a reason for others to attack.

Therefore, over the years, Emperor Fenglei has been cautious and dared not step on the mine pool just to maintain his fame.

Unfortunately, as the empire becomes increasingly corrupt, the loss of fame is no longer a personal ethics, but a general trend.

The moment the Murong family and others were waiting for finally arrived.
