Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

In the end, Luo Chen agreed to Lin Yi's proposal.

In his own words, being able to help the empire change for the better at the last moment of his life can be regarded as atonement for the imperial navy soldiers.

After Lin Yi heard that Luo Chen agreed to his plan, he finally became convinced of one thing, that is, Luo Chen was not actually an absolute bad guy.

This conclusion does seem a bit absurd, but it is also true.

When a country is lonely, there will always be some people who will try their best to make the country strong again.

Even in the process of thinking of ways to make the country stronger, the ideas of those who are interested are inconsistent with the public's thinking, and even seem wrong.

Of course, Lin Yi didn't feel that he was excusing Luo Chen.

In his opinion, a mistake is a mistake, and there is no excuse for it.

But this does not prevent Lin Yi from actually admiring Luo Chen in his heart.

He was the type of person who could really do it before, at the cost of his own life, to make the empire strong.

He can do this without sacrificing his reputation.

For this alone, Lin Yi felt that he should take a high look at Luo Chen.

After discussing with Luo Chen, Lin Yi left Tianlao directly and prepared to go to the palace to see Zhao Xu.

Of course, before Lin Yi left, he specifically asked the guards in Tianlao to try their best to meet Luo Chen's needs during this period.

The guards in Tianlao did not dare not agree to Lin Yi's order.

"Yi'er, you're here. How was your chat with Luo Chen?" Zhao Xu has been handling government affairs in the study, and Zhao Xi is studying beside him.

Zhao Xi was also tired. As the heir to the empire, he had a lot to learn. He was either studying or on the way to study all day long.

Seeing how exhausted Zhao Xi was, Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh that he was not a prince, but just a prince.

This status allows him to enjoy privileges without having to worry about Zhao He being exhausted.

Hearing Zhao Xu's question, Lin Yi showed a smile on his face, smiled at Zhao Xu and said, "Uncle, Mr. Luo and I had a good chat."

Hearing Lin Yi say that he had a good chat with Luo Chen, Luo Chen put down the pen in his hand and then sighed.

"I really didn't expect that Luo Chen turned out to be the mastermind of all this. He also cheated tens of thousands of my soldiers, which really disappoints me." Zhao Xu complained.

When Lin Yi heard Zhao Xu's words, he just shook his head helplessly and said nothing more.

After all, what Zhao Xu said was true, and it couldn't be washed off even if he wanted to.

"By the way, uncle, let's not talk about this for now. I have other things that I want to tell uncle." Lin Yi changed the topic to the future restructuring of the empire.

When Zhao Xu saw that Lin Yi had something serious to do, he stopped complaining and looked at Lin Yi solemnly.

"Tell me, what do you think?" Zhao Xu looked at Lin Yi and asked.

Lin Yi did not hide anything, and immediately expressed his thoughts on the future restructuring of the empire.

In particular, he emphatically explained to Zhao Xu the idea of ​​changing the local government to separation of powers and establishing a people's supervision mechanism in the future.

When Zhao Xu heard Lin Yi's explanation, he immediately understood Lin Yi's intention of doing this.

To put it simply, we want the three local parties to supervise each other to ensure local stability and the implementation of the imperial decrees.

Overall, there is no big problem with Lin Yi's idea. The only troublesome thing is whether local officials will implement it and whether they are willing to delegate power.

If the local government is unwilling, then the imperial decree will be just a piece of paper.

"Yi'er, your idea is good, but the question is, how do you ensure that this decree can be implemented?" Zhao Xu looked at Lin Yi and asked.

"I've also thought of a way. I plan to make some use of Luo Chen's incident."

"As a veteran of the Three Dynasties, Luo Chen has a deep foundation. Although many of them are his best friends, there are also many who are just attached to Luo Chen."

"So, I plan to expand the impact of Luo Chen's incident, starting with the officials of Luo Chen's faction. As long as these officials can be forced to agree to the empire's decree, then the empire's decree will be more than half successful."

"The remaining officials who are not from the Luo Chen faction are insignificant. Their power is simply unable to prevent the empire from implementing this decree." Lin Yi said slowly.

"Huh? What method can have such an effect?" Zhao Xu asked curiously.

"Uncle, my idea is to change Luo Chen's charges and say that he was conspiring to rebel, instead of slandering the prince and harming the imperial soldiers."

"In this case, the officials of Luo Chen's faction must be in danger and eager to distance themselves from Luo Chen."

"At that time, the court will show its distrust of them and ask people to propose a thorough investigation in court."

"And the imperial court will conduct a large-scale publicity on this matter to make these people feel scared first. Beat and beat them."

"Wait until the time is almost up, and then let a minister come forward to propose it. This move is not conducive to the stability of the empire. It is recommended that the empire implement the policy of decentralization."

"By that time, the officials of the Luo Chen faction must be panic-stricken, and they must not dare to block the empire's decree."

"They will definitely accept the empire's arrangements honestly."

"With the support of these numerous Luochen faction officials, those non-Luochen faction officials, even if they want to resist, can't make much of a splash."

When Zhao Xu heard Lin Yi's words, he lowered his head and thought for a moment, and immediately understood that Lin Yi's move was almost an unsolvable conspiracy.

First, give the officials of the Luo Chen faction a label of rebel points. After everyone is frightened, they will give you a chance, but the prerequisite is to decentralize power.

Presumably at that time, the vast majority of officials would agree to this condition.

Even if someone is unwilling, the empire can just replace him when the time comes.

As long as the officials of the Luochen faction are dealt with, the officials of other factions will be too weak to resist.

Although it is somewhat unreasonable to implement the policy of decentralization in this way, it can be said that it encounters almost no resistance.

There is no need to go to war and plunge the empire into chaos.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu had to say that this was an unsolvable conspiracy.

However, the only thing that is more difficult to do with this method is whether he recognizes Luo Chen as the mastermind.

If he admits that he wants to rebel, then the empire can justifiably deal with the officials of his faction.

If Luo Chen doesn't admit it, although the empire can enforce it, the credibility will be much lower, and it will be easy for people to say that he is trying to incriminate.

"Yi'er, this is indeed a good idea, but the key to the whole thing still lies with Luo Chen. It's still very difficult for him to admit his rebellion." Zhao Xu said, touching his chin.

"Uncle, Luo Chen has agreed." Lin Yi said immediately after hearing Zhao Xu's words.

"What, Luo Chen agreed?" Zhao Xu said with some surprise. He felt that he had heard wrongly.
