He appointed his confidants to gather the refugees, plundered the squires and merchants, and occupied their resources to stabilize the refugees....

the emperor Yongxing felt that the understanding he had cultivated in the past 30 years had been overthrown by this secret letter, and he felt absurd and unreal.

After reading the paper, his first thought was: nonsense!

In Yongxing emperor's understanding, squires, scholar bureaucrats, and famous families were an important part of the imperial court and a part of maintaining the rule of the dynasty.

If they were enemies of these classes, it would be difficult for the government to carry out its decrees. In history, there are countless dynasties and emperors who were overthrown because they offended these classes.

Emperor Yongxing is also a history reader. His understanding of politics can be summed up in two sentences:

constant compromise; winning over a group of people and suppressing a group of people!

To win over a group of people, to suppress a group of people, and to put them in the court, is the support of one or more parties.

When it comes to ruling a country, it is the door lords, squires, nobles, scholar bureaucrats and so on that are attracted, and it is the tens of millions of civilians that are suppressed.

However, a sentence in Xu Erlang's secret book deeply shocked emperor Yongxing...

"Those who hold the land are allies in prosperous times and abandoned sons in troubled times."

Around this sentence, Xu Erlang gave a lengthy exposition. Compared with the countless victims, those who controlled the land resources and wealth of the dynasty were only a small number of people.

In troubled times, if we sacrifice this small group of people, we can win the support of the masses, and the imperial power can stand.

When the old class is destroyed, new people will enter the class and replace them.

Emperor Yongxing felt that this was also drawing in and suppressing a group of people.

He echoed his political ideas.

The most important point is that it was not the imperial court that did this. It was the vagrant bandits who committed crimes and had nothing to do with the royal family and the imperial court.

"If you have great talents in the new year, it can be important!"

Emperor Yongxing sighed.

He repeatedly read the secret fold, sometimes excited, sometimes worried, sometimes gritted his teeth, sometimes shook his head, hesitated and tangled for a long time.

Hoo... Finally, with a long breath, I have made up my mind.

"Come to the brazier!"

Emperor Yongxing said.

Zhao XuanZhen immediately brought the brazier.

Emperor Yongxing threw the secret fold into the brazier, and the flame rose and licked the paper. He burned the fold, which was sure to attract the government and the public.

He is not going to adopt the scheme.

To be precise, we should not adopt the third strategy.

The reason is simple, the risk is too high.

If this matter is revealed, his throne will never be preserved.

He was not a father emperor. He had a deep foundation and was able to steadily suppress the court officials. He's just a new king in less than two months.

No, even an emperor as powerful as his father did not dare to do so.

To appoint a confidant to do this is actually equivalent to giving away the handle.

It's a handle that can make you doomed at any time.

Not to mention the confidants, even the birth mother, younger sister, Emperor Yongxing did not dare to give them such a handle.

Who can guarantee the loyalty of the confidants forever?

In the pagoda of futu.

Having arrived in Yuzhou and started driving the pagoda to Xu Qi'an in southern Xinjiang, Xu Qi'an suddenly felt palpitation. He turned to Miao Youfang and said:

"come and help me next time."

He is sitting at a small table, playing chess with mu Nanzhi. It's hard for him to separate black and white. The situation is ever-changing. For the time being, no one can help him.

The old monk taling was shocked. He didn't expect that their chess skills were so extraordinary.

Miao Youfang stops practicing and wipes his face with a sweat towel hanging around his neck. He thinks: "I can't play chess!"

Xu Qian insists on his own opinion:

"Nanzhi will teach you. It's not difficult to play chess. You should believe in your wisdom."

Miao Youfang, sitting on Xu Qian's seat, looks at the dense chessboard and is suddenly surprised.

The chess pieces almost cover the chessboard. To such an extent, the winner has not yet been decided.

The chess skills of Xu Qi'an and his wife can be imagined.

Mu Nanzhi took a look at him and said:

"you are black, I am white."

Miao Youfang scratched his head: "I can't play."

"It's very simple. If you make five pieces into a line, you'll win." Mu Nanzhi road.

"What kind of chess is this?"

"This is go." Mu Nanzhi said seriously.

On the other side, Xu Qi'an went to the window, took out the fragments of the book, and saw Huaiqing's biography:

[1: Emperor Yongxing didn't adopt Xu Erlang's plan, so today he sent someone to send a message to him: Ai Qing's plan is wonderful, but I don't think it's necessary, so let's go, don't mention it again! 】

emperor Yongxing is not bold enough... Xu Qi'an shakes his head in disappointment.[2] what? We have expended so much energy to come up with a clever plan for him, but he doesn't use it? Bah, Emperor Yongxing and his Lao Tzu are both wastewood emperors. 】

the angry young woman was furious.

[4: in fact, his choice is beyond reproach. Not everyone has courage. You can understand his difficulties by transposing. As a new monarch, he must be seeking stability.

There are too many uncertainties and risks in adopting Erlang's strategy, and it may not be able to completely solve the problem of refugees. However, once exposed, he would suffer from the whole literati class. 】[7] if he does not adopt it, it will not hinder our own actions. It's just that the effect is greatly reduced. After all, heaven and Earth Society has limited manpower. 】

the son expresses his opinions.

Eh, little brother, you are very active. How did you die some time ago? Xu Qi'an's mouth started.

[2] Xu Qi'an, do you have any other strategies to deal with the refugees? 】

Li Miaozhen actually wants to ask Huaiqing, but she is not familiar with Huaiqing, so she can only let Xu Qian act as a tool.

What else can I do?

The previous strategy was to intensify class contradictions, sacrifice part of the class and preserve the overall situation and imperial power. To say that there are other strategies, the only way is to transfer contradictions. Foreign war is the best way, but......

the way of using foreign war to transfer contradictions is only applicable to social contradictions, which have not been thoroughly intensified.

In view of the present situation of Dafeng, is it not fast enough to provoke others and launch a national war?

If this move works, Chongzhen laughs and blossoms... He vomites in his heart.

[3: actually, the imperial court can recruit soldiers and use refugees as cannon fodder to deal with the rebellious party in Yunzhou. Of course, Yunzhou will certainly use this tactic. 】

this is also a way to transfer contradictions.

Members of the heaven and earth society are silent.

At that time, the four words of life and death can perfectly summarize the tragedy.

[3] let's do what we have in front of us first. In addition to Miaozhen, brother Chu and Li lingsu, I can have a person here to gather refugees and occupy the mountain as king. 】

at the same time, Xu Qi'an turns to see Miao Youfang sitting in front of the chessboard.

[7] Miao Youfang. 】

Li lingsu is right.

[3: Well, his current level is not good, but he can enter Huajin in at most one month. By the way, I've found a way to promote Huajin quickly. That is, after refining the divine realm, we should persevere in tempering the original spirit and developing the brain. 】

[1: what is the solution? 】

Huaiqing sent a letter immediately, and she seemed to be very interested in the secret.

As for the others, Chu Yuanzhen was a little interested. Wolong Chifeng of Tianzong was a Taoist monk, and master Hengyuan had already had four grades.

Lina diving as usual, because the members of heaven and earth will discuss things, she always can't understand, also easy to headache.

[3] tempering the spirit can develop the brain, and then through tempering the body, it can improve the ability to control the body, so that it is easier to reach the fourth grade. I've tried this secret on Miao Youfang. 】

[4: why? 】

Chu Yuanzhen is also half a warrior.

[3] because the body is controlled by the spirit, the stronger the spirit is, the stronger the control over the body is. 】

he replaced his brain with a yuan Shen to facilitate the understanding of members of the heaven and Earth Society.

In fact, Yuanshen is different from the brain. The brain is the carrier of Yuanshen. With the growth of Yuanshen, the brain will be further developed. People with powerful Yuanshen have strong control over the body.

[2: I see. It reminds me that after Yuan Ying was born, he was as light as a swallow, and his sense and body skills were also enhanced. It turns out that in essence, my control over the physical body has increased. 】

it suddenly dawned on Li Miaozhen that many times, with the improvement of grade, all aspects of physical ability will increase, which we are used to, and seldom go to the root of the problem.

After all, not everyone loves learning.

[1] Xu Ningyan, you are a genius. 】

the internal meeting of the heaven and Earth Society ended.

Xu Qi'an collects the fragments of the book and returns to the chessboard. Miao Youfang looks excited and flies.

He and mu Nanzhi play chess in black and white. It's hard to kill each other. Old monk taling is shocked. He can't imagine that their chess skills are so extraordinary.

"It turns out that this is Weiqi. Oh, it's not difficult at all. I think playing chess on a board is something that only scholars can do. It's a game that requires profound knowledge to play."

Miao Youfang has a glimpse of the essence of the world:

"but so!"

When Xu Qi'an heard the speech, he took a look at the withered princess.

My apprentice is not smart at all, you still try to deceive him..... He complained in his heart.

...

palace, Dexin garden.

Huaiqing holding a volume of books, standing at the window, looking at the scenery in the hospital.

"By persistently tempering the spirit, you can be promoted to Huajin more quickly...."She chewed the message.

Indeed, in addition to the day-to-day meditation when the Qi training realm is full, once the martial arts master is promoted to the spirit refining realm successfully, the power of meditation will be slowed down.

Most of the time will be spent on practicing Qi and soaking medicine bath to pave the way for promotion.

When it comes to the realm of copper skin and iron bone, it begins to temper the body and comprehend the power.

Every grade has different emphasis, which is the consensus of all.

Including Huaiqing herself, after she was promoted to the bronze and iron realm, she only thought about it once in a while, neglecting the training of Yuanshen.

Yes, she has been promoted to the top.

That day, in the side hall outside the imperial study, it was because of the best proof that he could drink hot tea.

That time was also Huaiqing's biggest negligence, inadvertently exposing his own cultivation.

Huaiqing returned to his desk, tore down a piece of paper and wrote a series of names on it.

First name:

Chen Ying!

She dried the ink, folded the note, got up and left the study.

"Prepare the carriage. I'll go back to my palace."

She ordered the servant girl to go to the outer courtyard and called in the chief bodyguard, saying: "let the people on the list come to my house."

The note came out.

...

Yunzhou!

Inside the prison of the commander yamen, the air was moist, mixed with a faint smell of putrefaction.

Xie Lu looked up at the sunlight coming in the air hole of the wall, dazed.

He has been in prison for half a year.

As a new minister of Yunzhou, the court is indifferent to his situation.

In half a year, he became a dishevelled prisoner from a high spirited scholar.

The dungeon was damp and cold, and his hands and feet were covered with frostbite. Because he hadn't bathed for a long time, he smelled and his skin was slightly ulcerated.

Xie Lu was originally the magistrate of Zhangzhou, who was in charge of Dafeng granary. He made great achievements and gained a lot of reputation among the people and officialdom.

After Song Changfu, Yunzhou's prime minister, took office, he went to Yunzhou to replace him.

Xie Lu predicted that Yunzhou was a mess and was ready for a protracted war.

Who would have thought that after taking office, it went smoothly, neither met the subordinates who made it difficult to form a party, nor suffered the suppression of commander Yang Chuannan.

In addition to the accident, I greatly appreciated Yang Chuannan, the loyal commander of the capital.

Three months later, one day, Yang Chuannan suddenly invited him to a banquet. At the banquet, the commander denounced the corruption of the imperial court, the rampant corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and the people were in dire straits.

He told him about the existence of the royal family five hundred years ago, and sincerely invited him to join Qianlong City, overthrow the decadent royal family, set things right, and welcome back to Dafeng orthodoxy.

Xie Lu pretended to agree and immediately wrote a secret letter to the court.

But his every move had already been monitored, and before the secret letter was sent out, he was put into prison.

In the dark corridor, the clang of armor sounded, and a tall and straight figure stopped outside the fence.

Armor with sword, awe inspiring.

It was Yang Chuannan, commander of Yunzhou.
