Chapter 647 – Go

Assigning the masters of the heart, gathering the stragglers, specializing in robbing the squires and merchants, and appropriating their resources to stabilize the stragglers ………

Emperor Yongxing’s head “buzzed”, only feeling that the understanding he had cultivated over the past thirty years had been overturned by this secret letter, and an absurd, unreal feeling surged up.

His first thought after reading the fold was: nonsense!

In the Yongxing Emperor’s understanding, the country gentry and scholarly class, as well as the prestigious families, were an important part of the imperial court and part of maintaining the rule of the dynasty.

If one is an enemy of these classes, it will be difficult to implement the court’s decrees at all. Throughout history, countless dynasties and emperors have been overthrown because of offending these classes.

Emperor Yongxing also read history, and his comprehension of politics can be summarized in two sentences:

Constant compromise; pulling one group together to suppress another!

The so-called pulling in a group of people and suppressing a group of people is put in the courtroom, that is, or the support of more parties.

Putting it on the ruling state, it is the gatekeepers, squires, nobles, scholars, etc. that are drawn in, and it is the tens of millions of commoners under the sky that are suppressed.

However, a sentence in Xu Erlang’s secret folders deeply shocked Emperor Yongxing.

“Those who hold land in their hands are allies in times of prosperity and outcasts in times of chaos.”

Around this statement, Xu Erlang gives a long exposition, compared to the uncountable number of disaster victims, these classes of people who control the land resources and wealth of the dynasty are only a very small part of the population.

In times of chaos, the sacrifice of this small number of people can be embraced by the general public, and the imperial power will stand.

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

Emperor Yongxing felt that it was equally pulling in a group of people and suppressing a group of people.

Attachment to his political philosophy.

The most crucial point is that this matter is not the work of the court, it is the evil work of the stragglers and bandits, and has nothing to do with the royal family and the court.

“Xu New Year has great talent and can be important!”

Emperor Yongxing let out a sigh of relief.

He read the secret fold over and over again, sometimes uplifted, sometimes worried, sometimes gritting his teeth, sometimes shaking his head, hesitating and torn for a long, long time.

Phew ……. Finally, a long breath was exhaled, and a decision was made in his heart.

“Then the fire pit comes!”

Yongxing Emperor commanded.

Zhao Xuanzhen immediately brought a fire pit.

Yongxing Emperor threw the secret fold into the fire pot, the flame rose up and licked the paper, and burned the fold that would surely cause the court to be shaken when it was spread out.

He wasn’t going to take the ploy.

To be precise, the third gambit is not adopted.

The reason is simple: it’s too risky.

If this matter was leaked out, he would definitely not be able to keep his throne.

He is not the father emperor, the roots are deep, can steadily suppress the court dukes. He is only the new king who has been on the throne for less than two months.

No, even an emperor with such accumulated authority as Father would not dare to do so.

Assigning a beloved one to do this is actually tantamount to giving away the handle.

A handle that can get you killed at any time.

Not to mention the beloved ones, even if they are the biological mother, the siblings, Emperor Yongxing wouldn’t dare to give such a handle to them.

Who can guarantee that the beloved will always be loyal?

…………

Inside the Floating Pagoda.

Xu Qi’an, who had already arrived in Yuzhou and had begun to ride the Floating Pagoda to the Southern Border, suddenly had a heart palpitation and turned his head to Miao Youfang:

“Come over here and help me down for a while.”

He is sitting at the small table, and Mu Nanjian game, black and white son kill difficult to distinguish, the situation is ever-changing, for the time being, no one can not help who.

Old Monk Taling was stunned, not realizing that this duo’s chess skills were so extraordinary.

Miao Youfang stopped practicing kung fu and wiped his face with the sweat towel hanging around his neck while he wondered if he could:

“I can’t play chess!”

Xu Qi’an stood his ground:

“Nanjia will teach you, there’s nothing hard about playing chess, trust your wits.”

Miao Youfang bumbled over and sat in Xu Qi’an’s seat, glancing at the densely packed chessboard with a steep shock.

The chess pieces almost covered the board, and at this level of play, there was still no winner.

Xu Qi’an and his wife’s chess skills were predictable.

Mu Nanjia glanced at him and said:

“You play black, I play white.”

Miao Youfang scratched his head, “I don’t know how to play.”

“It’s simple, practicing the five pieces to a line is considered a win.” Mu Nanjian said.

“What kind of chess is this?”

“This is Go.” Mu Nanjian said in a serious manner.

On the other side, Xu Qi’an walked to the window, took out the fragment of the earth book, and saw Huaiqing’s transmission:

[1: Emperor Yongxing did not adopt Xu Erlang’s plan, and sent a message to him today: Aiqing’s plan is very good, but I do not think it is necessary to do so, so let’s call it quits, no need to mention it again!

Yongxing Emperor s vigor is not enough ah ……… Xu Qi an shook his head in disappointment.

[2: What? We went through so much effort to think of a wonderful plan for him, but he didn’t use it? Bah, Emperor Yongxing is the same as his old man, both are wasted emperors.]

The female cynic was furious.

[4: In fact, his choice is inexcusable, not everyone has the vigor, easy position, you can understand his difficulties. As a new ruler, he must be seeking stability.

[Adopting Erlang’s plan has too much uncertainty, too much risk, and may not completely solve the problem of the displaced people becoming a plague. But once exposed, he would suffer a backlash from the entire scholarly class.]

[7: The fact that he doesn’t adopt it doesn’t prevent us from acting on our own. It’s just that this is much less effective, after all, Tiandihui has limited manpower.]

The Holy Son commented.

Hehe, little old brother you are very active, forgetting how you died socially some time ago? Xu Qi’an’s mouth corner picked up.

[2: Xu Qi’an, are there any other plans to govern the displaced people?]

Li Miaozhen actually wanted to ask Huaiqing, but she didn’t know him well, so she could only let Xu Qi’an act as a tool person.

What else can I do?

The previous ploy was to intensify class conflicts and sacrifice part of the class to preserve the general situation and imperial power. To say that there are other ploys, it is only to shift the conflicts, foreign wars are the best way, but ……..

The use of foreign wars to divert contradictions is only applicable when social contradictions have not been completely intensified.

In the current situation of Da Bong, to provoke others and start a national war again, is it too much to think that the country will die fast enough?

If this move is useful, Chongzhen smiled and blossomed …….. He spat in his heart.

[3: In fact, there is also the possibility that the imperial court could conscript troops and use the stragglers as cannon fodder against the rebellious party in Yunzhou. Of course, Yunzhou will definitely use this trick as well.]

It’s also a way to deflect the conflict.

The members of the Heaven and Earth Society were silent.

At that time, the four words “the living and the dead” can perfectly summarize the tragic situation.

[3: It is better to do what is in front of us first, besides Miaozhen, Brother Chu and Li Lingsu, I can produce one more person here to gather the stragglers and take over the mountain.]

While passing on the letter, Xu Qi’an turned his head to look at Miao Youfang, who was sitting in front of the chessboard.

[Seven: It’s Miao Yufang, right?]

Lee Ling Soo hit the nail on the head.

[3: Well, his current level is still close, but he’ll be able to enter Huanjing in a month at most. By the way, I’ve discovered a trick to quickly advance to Huanjin. That is to persistently hammer the Yuan Shen and develop the brain after the God Refining Realm.]

[I: What is the explanation?]

Wyvern immediately passes on the book, and she seems to be very attached to the knack.

As for the others, it was only Chu Yuanzhuan who was slightly more interested, the Heavenly Sect’s Crouching Dragon Daisy Phoenix was a Taoist cultivator, and Grandmaster Hengyuan had long been of the fourth rank.

Lina dived as usual, as the members of the Heaven and Earth Society discussed things that she could never understand, and was prone to headaches.

[3: Hammering the Yuan Shen develops the brain, and then by hammering the body, it enhances the ability to control the body, thus making it easier to reach the Fourth Grade. I’ve already experimented with this secret on Miao Youfang].

[IV: Why is that?]

Chu Yuanjian is also considered half a martial artist.

[3: Because the body is controlled by the Yuan Shen, the stronger the Yuan Shen, the stronger the control over the body.]

He replaced his brain with a genjutsu to make it easier for the members of the Heaven and Earth Society to understand.

In fact, the Yuan Shen and the brain are different, the brain is the carrier of the Yuan Shen, as the Yuan Shen grows stronger, the brain will be further developed, the Yuan Shen is strong people, the control of the body is generally very strong.

[2: I see, this reminds me of when I cultivated my YuanYing, my body was as light as a swallow, and I felt that my physical skills were enhanced as well. It turns out that it is essentially my control over my physical body that has increased.]

Li Miaozhen suddenly realized that very often, as the grade rises, there will be an increase in all aspects of the body’s ability, and people take it for granted that they seldom go to the root of the matter to look deeper into the cause.

After all, not everyone loves to do school.

[1: Xu Ningyan, you’re a genius.]

The internal meeting of the Heaven and Earth Society ended.

Xu Qi’an collected the fragments of the Earth Book and returned to the chessboard, where Miao Youfang’s face was excited and his pieces were falling like flies.

He and Mu Nan gardenia black and white game, kill difficult to distinguish, tower spirit old monk stunned, can not imagine that the two people’s chess skills are so extraordinary.

“So this is Weiqi ah, heh, not difficult at all, I thought that the board game is something that only the scholars can do, it is a game that requires profound knowledge to play.”

Miao Youfang had a look on his face that he had glimpsed the essence of the world:

“But so!”

Xu Qi’an sniffed and glanced at the wilting mind’s eye of the crown princess.

This disciple of mine is not smart in the first place, and you are still making efforts to fool him ……… He complained a sentence in his heart.

…………

Palace, De Xin Yuan.

Holding a volume in his hand, Huaiqing stood by the window, looking out over the courtyard.

“Consistently hammering the Yuan Shen can lead to faster promotion to Huan Jin ……..”

She chewed on this information.

Indeed, apart from the day in and day out visualization when they had reached the great circle of the Qi Practicing Realm, martial artists would slow down the intensity of their visualization once they had successfully advanced to the God Refining Realm.

Spending most of his time practicing qi and soaking in medicinal baths, he paved the way for his promotion to Copper Skin and Iron Bone.

When they reached the Copper Skin and Iron Bones realm, they began to hammer their flesh and comprehend the Harmonization Power.

It is the consensus of all that each class has a different focus.

Including Huaiqing herself, after advancing to the Copper Skin and Iron Bone Realm, she only observed her thoughts every other day, neglecting to refine her Yuan Shen.

Yes, she has been promoted to bronze.

That day in the side room outside the imperial library, can and boiling hot tea, is because the best proof.

That time was also Huaiqing’s biggest oversight, inadvertently exposing his own cultivation.

Wyvern returned to his desk, tore off a slip of paper, and wrote a series of names on it.

Start with a name:

Baby Chen!

She blew the ink dry, folded the note, and got up to leave the study.

“Prepare the carriage, this palace is going to make a trip back to the house.”

After ordering her maid, she walked to the outer courtyard and beckoned the head guard, saying:

“Tell the people on the list to meet me at the house.”

The note was handed out.

………..

Yunzhou!

Inside the large prison of the capital commander’s office, the air was humid and mixed with a faint stench of decay.

Xie Lu looked up at the sunlight coming in through the air holes in the wall, stunned.

He’s been incarcerated in the brig for half a year.

As the newly appointed Minister of Prefecture of Yunzhou, a dignitary of the third rank, the court was indifferent to his situation.

In six months, he went from a spirited reader to a pimply-faced prisoner.

The dungeon was damp and cold, his hands and feet were covered in frostbite, and he was covered in a foul odor and slight ulcers on his skin because he hadn’t bathed for so long.

Xie Lu was originally the governor of Zhangzhou and governed the Dafeng granary, which was quite meritorious and gained him a good reputation among the people and officials.

After Song Changsu, the previous Minister of Prefecture of Yunzhou, was executed, he took up his post and went to Yunzhou to take over the position of Minister of Prefecture.

Xie Lu expected Yunzhou to be a mess and was prepared for a protracted war.

Who would like to think that after taking office, it was smooth sailing, neither encountered a party of difficult subordinates, nor suffered from the commanding officer Yang Chuannan’s suppression.

Unexpectedly, the good feeling towards Yang Chuannan, the loyal commander-in-chief, increased greatly.

So after three months, one day, Yang Chuannan suddenly hosted a banquet invitation, the seat, the commander-in-chief denounced the corruption of the court, corrupt officials and corrupt officials rampant, the people are not happy.

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

Xie Lu pretended to agree, and when he returned to his house, he immediately wrote a secret letter to the court.

But his every move had long been watched, and before the secret message was delivered, the man was put in jail.

Armor clangs in the dimly lit walkway, and a tall, upright figure, stops outside the fence.

Dressed in armor with a sword, the god is majestic.

It’s none other than Yunzhou Capital Commander Yang Chuannan.
