Chapter 1394: Go (1)
They appointed their trusted experts to gather the refugees, Rob the merchants, and occupy their resources to stabilize the refugees …
Emperor Yongxing’s head was buzzing. He felt that the knowledge he had cultivated in the past 30 years had been overturned by this secret letter, and he had an absurd and unreal feeling.
After he finished reading the memorial, his first thought was:Nonsense!
In Emperor Yongxing’s knowledge, the Squires, scholars, and prestigious families were an important part of the Imperial court and a part of maintaining the rule of the dynasty.
If one made an enemy of these classes, then it would be difficult to carry out the orders of the Imperial court. In history, there were too many dynasties and emperors that had been overthrown because they had offended these classes.
Emperor Yongxing also studied history. His understanding of politics could be summed up in two sentences:
He constantly compromised, roped in a group of people, and suppressed another group of people!
The so-called winning over a group of people and suppressing a group of people in the Imperial court was the support of more parties.
When it came to ruling a country, they would rope in the powerful families, Squires, nobles, scholars, and so on, and suppress the millions of common people in the world.
However, there was a sentence in Xu Erlang’s Secret letter that deeply shocked Emperor Yongxing.
“Those who hold the land in their hands will become allies in prosperous times and abandoned in troubled times.”
Surrounding this sentence, Xu Erlang gave a long explanation. Compared to the countless victims of the disaster, the class that controlled the dynasty’s land, resources, and wealth was only a very small part of the people.
In times of chaos, by sacrificing this small number of people, they could gain the support of the general public, and the Imperial power would stand.
When the old class was destroyed, there would be new people entering this class and replacing them.
Emperor Yongxing felt that this was also to win over a group of people and suppress a group of people.
It was in line with his political philosophy.
Most importantly, this matter was not the doing of the Imperial court. It was the doing of the vagrants and bandits, and had nothing to do with the imperial family or the Imperial court.
“Wishing that there will be great talents in the new year and that they can be important!”
Emperor Yongxing sighed with emotion.
He read the secret letter repeatedly, sometimes excited, sometimes worried, sometimes gritting his teeth, sometimes shaking his head. He hesitated for a long time.
Hu … Finally, he let out a long breath and made up his mind.
“Bring me the brazier!”
Emperor Yongxing ordered.
Zhao xuanzhen immediately brought over a Brazier.
Emperor Yongxing threw the secret letter into the brazier. The flame rose, licked the paper, and burned the letter that would definitely cause an uproar in the court if it was spread.
He didn’t plan to use this strategy.
To be more precise, he didn’t want to use the third plan.
The reason was simple. It was too risky.
If this matter were to be leaked out, he would definitely lose his throne.
He was not like his father, who had a deep foundation and could firmly suppress the court. He was only a new king who had been in power for less than two months.
No, even a powerful Emperor like his father would not dare to do this.
Assigning a confidant to do this was actually equivalent to giving out a handle.
A handle that could cause him to be consigned to eternal damnation.
Not to mention his confidants, even his birth mother and sister, Emperor Yongxing would not dare to give them such a handle.
Who could guarantee that a trusted aide would always be loyal?
Inside the stupa Pagoda.
Xu Qi ‘an, who had already arrived in Yuzhou and was about to drive the stupa to the southern border, suddenly felt his heart palpitate. He turned to Miao Youfang and said, ”
“Come and help me for a while.”
He was sitting at a small table, playing chess with mu nanzhi. The black and white pieces were hard to distinguish and the situation was ever-changing. For the time being, no one could do anything to the other.
The old monk tower spirit was stunned. He didn’t expect these two to have such extraordinary chess skills.
Miao Youfang stopped practicing and wiped his face with the sweat towel hanging around his neck. He said, ”
“I don’t know how to play Go!”
Xu Qi ‘an insisted, ”
Nan Zhi will teach you. It’s not difficult to play chess. You have to believe in your own wisdom.
Miao you Fang went over and sat in Xu Qi ‘an’s seat. He looked at the densely packed chessboard and was suddenly shocked.
The chess pieces almost covered the entire board, but the winner had not been decided yet.
One could imagine the chess skills of Xu Qi ‘an and his wife.
Mu nanzhi glanced at him and said, ”
“You take the black, I’ll take the White.”
“I don’t know how to play.” Miao Youfang scratched his head.
“It’s very simple. You win if you line up the five pieces.” Mu Nanxi said.
“What is this?”
“This is go.” Mu nanzhi said in all seriousness.
On the other side, Xu Qi ‘an walked to the window and took out a fragment of the Book of the Netherworld. He saw huaiqing’s letter.
[ one: Emperor Yongxing did not adopt Xu Erlang’s strategy. Today, he sent someone to pass a message to him:[ my beloved Minister’s plan is brilliant, but I don’t think it’s necessary. Let’s forget about it and not mention it again! ]
Emperor Yongxing was not bold enough … Xu Qi ‘an shook his head in disappointment.
[ 2: what? We’ve spent so much energy to think of a brilliant plan for him, but he doesn’t use it? [ PEI, Emperor Yongxing is the same as his father, both of them are useless emperors. ]
The young woman was furious.
[ 4: actually, his choice is understandable. Not everyone has the courage to do so. If you were in his shoes, you would understand his difficulties. As a new emperor, he would definitely prioritize stability.
[ there are too many uncertainties and too many risks in adopting Erlang’s plan. It may not completely solve the problem of the refugees. However, once he was exposed, he would suffer the backlash of all the scholars and physicians.
[ seven: even if he doesn’t accept it, it doesn’t hinder our own actions. [ it’s just that the effect is greatly reduced. After all, the Heaven and Earth Society has limited manpower. ]
The Saint expressed his opinion.
Eh, little brother, you’re very active. Have you forgotten how you died a while ago? The corners of Xu Qi ‘an’s mouth lifted.
[ two: Xu Qi ‘an, do you have any other strategies to deal with the refugees? ]
Li Miaozhen actually wanted to ask huaiqing, but she wasn’t familiar with him, so she could only let Xu Qi ‘an act as a tool.
Was there any other way?
The previous plan was to intensify the class conflicts and sacrifice a part of the class to protect the overall situation and imperial power. If there were any other plans, it would be to divert the conflict. Fighting a foreign war was the best way, but …
The method of using Foreign Wars to transfer contradictions was only suitable for social contradictions that had not been completely intensified.
With Da Feng’s current situation, if he were to provoke others and start a country war, wouldn’t he be thinking that the country’s collapse was not fast enough?
If this move was effective, Chong Zhen would be overjoyed … He cursed in his heart.
[ 3. In fact, the Imperial court can recruit soldiers and use the refugees as cannon fodder to deal with the rebels in Yunzhou. Of course, Yunzhou will also use this move. ]
This was also a way to shift the conflict.
The members of the heaven and earth Association were silent.
At that time, the four words ‘people in misery and suffering’ could perfectly describe the tragedy.
[ three: let’s focus on the current Matters first. Other than Miaozhen, brother Chu, and Li lingsu, I can send someone else to gather the refugees and rule the mountain. ]
At the same time, Xu Qi ‘an turned his head to look at Miao Youfang, who was sitting in front of the chessboard.
[ seven: it’s Miao Youfang, right? ]
Li lingsu was spot on.
[ three: yes, he’s still lacking now, but he’ll be able to enter huajin in a month at most. Right, I found a secret to quickly advance to neutral jing. [ that is to persevere in tempering your primordial spirit and developing your brain after you reach the spirit-forging stage. ]
[ one: what do you mean? ]
Huaiqing immediately sent her a letter. She seemed to be very concerned about the trick.
As for the others, only Chu Yuanqi was slightly interested. The heavenly sect’s Hidden Dragon and young Phoenix were Daoist cultivators, and master Heng Yuan had long been a fourth-grade cultivator.
Lina dived into the water as usual, because she couldn’t understand what the members of the Heaven and Earth Society were discussing, and she had a headache.
[ three: tempering the primordial spirit can develop the brain, and by tempering the body, it can improve the ability to control the body, making it easier to reach the fourth-grade. I’ve already tested this secret on Miao Youfang. ]
[ 4: why is this so? ]
Chu Yuanqi could be considered half a martial artist.
[ 3. Because the body is controlled by the primordial spirit, the stronger the primordial spirit, the stronger the control over the body. ]
He had replaced his brain with his primordial spirit so that the members of the heaven and earth Association could understand.
In fact, the primordial spirit and the brain were different. The brain was the carrier of the primordial spirit. As the primordial spirit grew stronger, the brain would develop further. People with strong primordial spirits generally had strong control over their bodies.
[ 2: so that’s how it is. This reminds me of when I’m as light as a swallow after forming the nascent soul, and I feel that my physical skills have also become stronger. [ so, it’s essentially because my control over my physical body has increased. ]
Li Miaozhen suddenly realized that many times, with the improvement of the grade, the physical abilities would increase in all aspects. Everyone was used to it and rarely asked for the reason.
After all, not everyone was interested in learning.
[ one: Xu ningyan, you are really a genius. ]
The Heaven and Earth Society’s internal meeting ended.
Xu Qi ‘an put away the fragments of the book of the nether world and returned to the chessboard. Miao Youfang was excited, and his chess pieces were flying.
He and mu nanzhi were playing black and white, and they were locked in a fierce battle. The old monk tower spirit was stunned, not expecting their chess skills to be so extraordinary.
“So this is go. Heh, it’s not difficult at all. I thought that go on a chessboard was something only scholars could do, that it was a game that required profound knowledge to play.”
Miao Youfang looked as if he had seen the essence of the world.
“It’s nothing more than this!”
Xu Qi ‘an heard this and glanced at the evil-minded Princess.
This disciple of mine isn’t smart to begin with, yet you’re still trying so hard to trick him … He grumbled in his heart.
The Imperial Palace, Dexin court.
Huaiqing held a book in his hand as he stood by the window, looking out at the scenery in the courtyard.
“If you persevere in tempering your primordial spirit, you can advance to the force Transformation realm faster …”
She mulled over the information.
It was true that martial artists would only visualize day after day when they were in the Qi cultivation realm. Once they advanced to the spirit cultivation realm, they would slow down their visualization.
He spent most of his time cultivating qi and taking medicinal baths to lay the foundation for advancing to copper skin and iron bones.
When he reached the bronze skin and iron bone realm, he would begin to train his body and comprehend Force Transformation.
Every grade had a different focus, this was the consensus of everyone.
This included huaiqing herself. After advancing to the bronze skin and iron bones realm, she only visualized once every few days and had neglected the tempering of her primordial spirit.
Yes, she had advanced to copper skin and iron bones.
That day in the side hall outside the Imperial study, being able to drink hot tea was the best proof.
That was also huaiqing’s greatest mistake, as he had unintentionally exposed his cultivation.
Huaiqing returned to his desk, tore off a piece of paper, and wrote a series of names on it.
The first name:
Chen Ying!
She dried the ink, folded the note, and left the study.
“Prepare the carriage, bengong is going back to the palace.”
After giving her orders to the maidservants, she walked to the outer courtyard and beckoned for the guard Captain.
“Ask the people on the list to come to my residence to find me.”
He handed over the note.
Yunzhou!
The air in the prison of the commander’s office was damp and mixed with a faint rancid smell.
Xie Lu looked up at the sunlight coming in through the air holes in the wall and was in a daze.
He had been locked up in the prison for half a year.
As the new chief administrator of Yunzhou, a third-rank official, the Imperial court did not care about his situation.
In half a year’s time, he had turned from a high-spirited scholar to an unkempt prisoner.
The dungeon was damp and cold, and his hands and feet were covered in frostbites. Because he had not taken a bath for a long time, his body stank, and his skin was slightly ulcerated.
Xie Lu was originally the Zhang Prefecture magistrate, in charge of the DA Feng Granary. He had made many achievements and gained a good reputation among the people and the officials.
After song Changfu, the previous chief governor of Yunzhou, was executed, he immediately took over the position and went to Yunzhou to take over the position.
Xie Lu knew that dingyun state was a mess, so he was prepared for a long war.
Who would’ve thought that things would go so smoothly after he took office? he didn’t encounter any subordinates who formed factions to make things difficult for him, and he didn’t suffer any suppression from commander yang Chuannan.
After the surprise, his impression of yang Chuannan, this loyal and devoted commander du, increased greatly.
Three months passed like this. One day, yang Chuannan suddenly invited them to a banquet. At the banquet, the commander criticized the corruption of the Imperial court, the rampant corruption of corrupt officials, and the poor life of the people.
She also told him about the existence of the Royal bloodline from five hundred years ago, and sincerely invited him to join the hidden Dragon City to overthrow the corrupted royal family, bring order back to the world, and welcome back the great Orthodox.
Xie Lu pretended to agree. After returning to his residence, he immediately wrote a secret letter to the Imperial court.
However, his every move had long been monitored, and before the secret letter could be sent out, he was locked up in prison.
The sound of armor clanking could be heard in the dark corridor. A tall figure stopped outside the fence.
He was wearing armor and carrying a saber, looking majestic.
It was the commander of the cloud region, yang Chuannan.
