During this period, Qiu Tu had a certain understanding of Princess Xi.

This is a woman with ambition.

Moreover, he is also a political creature like himself.

For political creatures, the body has never been the bottom line. At some point, everything is a bargaining chip that can be exchanged.

The only problem is whether the price is enough.

Therefore, Qiu Tu only needs to ensure that his weight in Princess Xi's heart is important enough, and then he can keep using this method to slowly win her people and then her heart.

With this in mind, Qiu Tu hugged Princess Xi and came to the pool. While sitting down, he asked,

"Is there anything the princess doesn't understand about the story of 'Dayu'er and the Regent'?"

The story of "Dayu'er and the Regent" that Qiu Tu and Princess Xi have been chatting about is actually about Empress Xiaozhuang and Dorgon.

When Huang Taiji died, Emperor Shunzhi was still young. In order to allow her son to secure the throne smoothly, Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang chose to devote herself to Dorgon.

After that, for decades, Dorgon held the power of the entire country. Not only was he titled "Emperor Father and Regent", but he also used ceremonial guards, guards, and attendants, all the same as the emperor.

Even the emperor's seal was placed directly next to him for use, and all government affairs were governed by imperial edicts.

It was not until his unexpected death that Emperor Shunzhi finally regained power over the country.

Some of these details are slightly similar to the current situation of Qiu Tu and Princess Xi.

Therefore, the two of them have been "using the past to describe the present".

Sure enough, after hearing Qiu Tu's words, Princess Xi shook her body unnaturally.

Seeing this, she brushed her hair, but tried her best to keep herself dignified and said,

"I do have some questions about that story."

"For example, the country is currently suffering from internal and external troubles. There are powerful enemies externally, and powerful ministers are in power internally."

"How can the regent help Da Yuer's child sit on the throne?"

Hearing this, Qiu Tu opened his mouth and said,

"If a country wants to develop, it must solve security problems."

"Security issues are generally divided into three directions: political security, economic security and military security."

"Foreign enemies belong to the category of military security."

"Now, even though the country is suffering from internal and external troubles, thanks to the accumulation in previous years, it is still strong."

"The foreign enemies are also a little busy taking care of themselves right now, so there won't be any problems in the short term."

"As for internal worries, they belong to political security."

"Political matters must be resolved through political means."

"In ancient times, if powerful officials wanted to ascend to power, they had to take multiple steps."

"On the side of the Qing Emperor, in the name of clearing out the treacherous ministers and favored concubines around the emperor, he killed the royalists and cronies around the emperor and began to take control of the country."

"Add special etiquette. When entering the court, go to the palace with swords and shoes. Praise and worship without name. Add nine tins. It will undermine the majesty of the royal power and increase your own power."

"To be granted the title of king is to establish a government and have its own independent organizational system. It forms a small government that is independent of the country."

"Surrender. Smooth transition from the old regime to the new regime."

"And every step of this is extremely dangerous. It's not that easy."

Speaking of this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but look at Princess Xi, and then asked,

"So. How far does the princess think the powerful minister is now?"

When she just heard Qiu Tu explain the steps to usurp the throne, Princess Xi was a little fascinated, her eyes full of deep thought.

Now listening to Qiu Tu's inquiry, she couldn't help but compare the current situation of the 6th shelter, and then said, "The first step is to seize power."

Qiu Tu smiled and nodded while saying,

"Yes, so. What you are worried about does not exist."

"Because you think you are in danger, but you don't know that the other person is actually in more danger than you."

"There is indeed a cliff in front of you, but there are two single-plank bridges on the other side of the cliff."

Qiu Tu is indeed a person who is very good at persuading others, so Princess Xi, who has been worried about her situation during this period, feels a lot more at ease inexplicably.

‘Qiu Tu’s mouth is really powerful’

'It seems like I haven't done anything, but I feel a lot more at ease.'

'It's just that he's not fooling me, is he?'

Thinking like this, Princess Xi even forgot to pat Qiu Tu's hand away.

She turned sideways, then looked at Qiu Tu and said, "So, how can the regent help Da Yu'er's child secure his position?"

Hearing this, Qiu Tu glanced deeply at Princess Xi, and then said, "In a world with extraordinary power, violence is the way to solve everything."

"You have great righteousness and greater power. What do you need to care about?"

"If you don't accept it, just chop them all off."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's cold words, Princess Xi's body stiffened and a look of shock appeared on her face.

"Cut it all off?"

Qiu Tu looked at the scenery in the courtyard and said with a serious face, "Only those with weak strength and low status play tricks."

"If you are strong and have a high status, you must behave openly and domineeringly."

"Kill the chief evildoer and kill the cronies."

"Once the Kou family is destroyed, the Kou family gang will be leaderless. Can't they all be manipulated at will?"

Speaking of this, Qiu Tu glanced at Princess Xi with a meaning, smiled and joked, "If I had such righteousness as you, the 8th Sanctuary would have been named Qiu long ago."

After hearing Qiu Tu's words, Princess Xi frowned slightly and looked at Qiu Tu.

She can become the number two figure in the 6th Sanctuary. Even though she relied on King Kang to take the position, Princess Xi is not an easy person.

Although Qiu Tu's plan makes some sense and can indeed be realized, it has huge drawbacks.

If you had great righteousness and had absolute strength, you could kill the people below you at will, then there wouldn't be so many emperors who would throw in the towel.

This kind of table-turning approach will actually seriously damage the healthy political ecology and have a negative impact on the future.

And more importantly, once Princess Xi really agrees with Qiu Tu's approach and asks Qiu Tu to destroy all the Kou family, she will soon face the same situation as "Da Yu'er".

No one can check and balance Qiu Tu. Qiu Tu will be the dominant family in Sanctuary 6 and will soon develop into another Kou family.

Even becoming a greater threat than the Kou family.

When the time comes, let alone himself, even the 6th Sanctuary may completely fall into his hands.

Thinking of this, Princess Xi couldn't help but narrow her eyes slightly, and cursed secretly in her heart, 'This man is really very calculating. Don't be fooled.'

Thinking like this, Princess Xi couldn't help but say, "Killing someone directly would have too many side effects."

"I still hope to regain what belongs to me in as peaceful a way as possible."

Hearing this, Qiu Tu glanced at Princess Xi with a half-smile but did not say anything.

At the same time, when Qiu Tu and Princess Xi were plotting against each other.

In the real world, La Riluo also successfully arrived outside the window of Qiu Tu's villa.

She stood in the air on the second floor, tilted her head and looked inside, trying to see if Qiu Tu was playing any new tricks behind her back.

As a result, at first glance, she felt a little disappointed.

Because Qiu Tu was just sleeping peacefully there. This made her, as the evil god of the "life-reproduction" path, feel bored.

She actually came here on a serious matter. In the past two days, Zhao Ji had completely refined the nine areas she controlled into a whole, once again "Nine Stars in a Row", and then restored her state to the top.

Therefore, Zhao Ji plans to use "Shan Gen" tomorrow to officially advance to the sixth level.

Because Qiu Tu was not far away from the sixth level, La Riluo thought about letting Qiu Tu go to watch her sister advance.

Learn some experience or get some understanding from it.

Stop by Qiu Tu to steal some snacks, or have some fun by attaching yourself to others.

As a result, who knew that Qiu Tu went to bed so early today and didn't do anything.

Thinking like this, La Riluo's scarlet eyes were filled with resentment.

She came to the window and wanted to open it and fly in.

As a result, the moment she opened the window, she was suddenly stunned.

Because, she suddenly discovered that the fluctuations on Qiu Tu's body seemed a little abnormal.

'Pfft.' La Riluo couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile when she saw this. She didn't expect Qiu Tu to be able to dream.

This guy!
