Appoint confidants and masters to gather the refugees, rob the country gentry and merchants, and occupy their resources to stabilize the refugees

Emperor Yongxing's head was "buzzing", and he felt that the knowledge he had cultivated in the past thirty years was overturned by this seal, and he felt absurd and unreal.

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

In Emperor Yongxing's understanding, the country gentry, scholar-bureaucrat class, and famous families are an important part of the court and a part of maintaining the rule of the dynasty.

If you are against these classes, it will be difficult to implement the government's decrees. In history, there are countless dynasties and emperors who were overthrown because they offended these classes. .

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

Constantly compromise; win over a group of people to suppress a group of people!

The so-called attracting a group of people, suppressing a group of people, and placing them in the court is the support of or more parties.

When it comes to ruling a country, those who win over are elites, gentry, nobles, scholar-bureaucrats, etc., and those who suppress are thousands of ordinary people in the world.

However, one sentence in Xu Erlang's secret book deeply shocked Emperor Yongxing.

"Those who hold the land in their hands are allies in prosperous times, and abandoned children in troubled times."

Around this sentence, Xu Erlang gave a lengthy elaboration. Compared with the countless victims of the disaster, these classes that control the land resources and wealth of the dynasty are only a very small part of the people.

In troubled times, if you sacrifice this small group of people, you can gain the support of the general public, and the imperial power can stand firm.

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

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

agree with his political ideology.

The most important point is that this matter was not done by the imperial court, but by bandits and bandits, and had nothing to do with the imperial family or the imperial court.

"Xu New Year has great talent and can be important!"

Emperor Yongxing sighed with emotion.

He read the secret book repeatedly, sometimes excited, sometimes worried, sometimes gritted his teeth, sometimes shook his head, hesitating for a long time.

Phew. Finally, he let out a long breath and made a decision in his heart.

"Here comes the brazier!"

Emperor Yongxing ordered.

Zhao Xuanzhen immediately brought the brazier.

Emperor Yongxing threw the secret document into the brazier, and the flames sprang up, licking the paper, and burning the document that would definitely cause shocks in the government and the public if it was passed on.

He was not going to adopt this ruse.

To be precise, the third strategy is not adopted.

The reason is simple, the risk is too great.

If this matter is leaked out, his throne will definitely be lost.

He is not the emperor father, he has a deep foundation and can steadily suppress the princes in the court. He is just the new king who has been on the throne for less than two months.

No, even an emperor as powerful as his father would not dare to do this.

Delegating a confidant to do this is actually tantamount to giving away the handle.

A handle that can make him irreparable at any time.

Not to mention confidantes, even his biological mother and younger sister, Emperor Yongxing would not dare to give them such handles.

Who can guarantee that a confidant will always be faithful?

Inside the Buddha Pagoda.

Xu Qi'an, who had already arrived in Yuzhou and began to drive the Pagoda of the Buddha to the southern border, suddenly felt palpitations, turned his head and said to Miao Youfang:

"Come and help me for a while."

He was sitting at the small table, playing chess with Mu Nanzhi, black and white were indistinguishable, the situation was ever-changing, no one could do anything for the time being.

The old monk Taling was stunned, he did not expect that the chess skills of the two were so extraordinary.

Miao Youfang stopped practicing boxing, wiped his face with the sweat towel hanging around his neck, and wondered:

"I can't play chess!"

Xu Qi'an insisted on his own opinion:

"Nan Zhi will teach you, playing chess is not difficult, you have to trust your own wisdom."

Miao Youfang hurried over, sat on Xu Qi'an's seat, glanced at the densely packed chessboard, and was suddenly startled.

The chess pieces almost covered the chessboard, and 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 glanced at him and said:

"You are black, I am white."

Miao Youfang scratched his head: "I don't know how to play."

"It's very simple, if you train five chess pieces to a line, you win." Mu Nanzhi said.

"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 underground book, and saw Huaiqing's biography:

[One: Emperor Yongxing did not adopt Xu Erlang's plan, and today sent someone to send a message to him: Aiqing's plan is very good, but I don't think it should be so, so let it go, don't mention it again! 】

Emperor Yongxing is not brave enough, Xu Qi'an shook his head in disappointment.

[Two: What? We spent so much energy and thought of a clever plan for him, but he didn't use it? Bah, Emperor Yongxing has the same virtue as Lao Tzu, both are useless emperors. 】

The female cynic was furious.

[Four: In fact, his choice is understandable, not everyone has courage, and you can understand his difficulties when you change positions. As a new monarch, he must be seeking stability first.

[Adopting Erlang's strategy, there are too many uncertainties and risks, and it may not be able to completely solve the problem of displaced people. But once exposed, he will suffer backlash from the entire scholar-bureaucrat class. 】

【Seven: If he does not adopt it, it does not hinder our own actions. It's just that the effect is greatly reduced, after all, the Heaven and Earth Society has limited manpower. 】

The Son expresses his opinion.

Hey, little brother, are you very active, have you forgotten how you died a while ago? The corners of Xu Qi'an's mouth twitched.

[Two: Xu Qi'an, do you have any other strategies to manage the refugees? 】

Li Miaozhen actually wanted to ask Huaiqing, but she was not familiar with Huaiqing, so she could only let Xu Qi'an act as a tool.

What else can I do?

The previous strategy was to intensify class conflicts, sacrifice part of the class, and preserve the overall situation and imperial power. If there are other strategies, the only way is to divert the conflict. Foreign war is the best way, but...

The method of using foreign wars to transfer contradictions is only applicable to social contradictions that have not been completely intensified.

Based on the current situation, if you go to provoke others and start a national war, is it not fast enough to subjugate the country?

If this trick worked, Chongzhen burst into laughter, and he vomited in his heart.

[Three: In fact, there are also. The imperial court can conscript soldiers and use refugees as cannon fodder to deal with the rebellious party in Yunzhou. Of course, Yunzhou will definitely use this trick. 】

This is also a way to divert conflicts.

The members of the Tiandihui were silent.

At that time, the four words "living in charcoal" can perfectly summarize the tragedy.

[Three: Let's do the immediate thing well first. Besides Miaozhen, Brother Chu and Li Lingsu, I can send someone here to gather the refugees and occupy the mountain as king. 】

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

【Seven: Miao Youfang, right? 】

Li Lingsu's words hit the mark.

[Three: Well, his current level is not good enough, but he can enter Huajin in at least one month. By the way, I discovered a trick to quickly promote Huajin. That is to unremittingly temper the primordial spirit and develop the brain after refining the gods. 】

[One: Why? 】

Huaiqing passed on the letter immediately, and she seemed to be very interested in the trick.

As for the others, only Chu Yuanzhen was a little interested. Tianzong's Wolong Chufeng was a Taoist monk, and Master Hengyuan had already reached the fourth rank.

Lina dived as usual, because she always couldn't understand the things discussed by the members of the Tiandihui, and she was prone to headaches.

[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 rank. I have tried this secret on Miao Youfang. 】

[Four: Why is this so? 】

Chu Yuanzhen was considered half a warrior.

[Three: Because the body is controlled by the primordial spirit, the stronger the primordial spirit, the stronger the control over the body. 】

He replaced the brain with the primordial spirit so that members of the Tiandihui can understand it.

In fact, the soul and the brain are different. The brain is the carrier of the soul. As the soul grows, the brain will be further developed. People with strong souls generally have strong control over the body.

[Two: That's how it is. This reminds me of the body that is as light as a swallow after the Nascent Soul is cultivated, and the physical skills are also enhanced. It turns out that in essence, my control over the physical body has increased. 】

Li Miaozhen suddenly realized that in many cases, with the improvement of the grade, the abilities of all aspects of the body will increase. Everyone is used to it, and seldom goes to the bottom to find out the reason.

After all, not everyone loves learning.

[One: Xu Ningyan, you are such a genius. 】

The internal meeting of the Tiandihui is over.

Xu Qi'an put away the fragments of the book and returned to the chessboard. Miao Youfang looked excited, and the pieces flew like flying.

He played black and white chess with Mu Nanzhi, and the killing was indistinguishable. The old monk Taling was stunned, he did not expect that the chess skills of the two were so extraordinary.

"It turns out that this is Go, huh, it's not difficult at all. I thought that playing chess on the board is something only scholars can do, and it is a game that requires advanced knowledge to play."

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

"That's all!"

Xu Qi'an heard the words, and glanced at the listless princess.

My apprentice is not smart in the first place, but you still try to fool him. He complained in his heart.

Imperial Palace, Dexin Garden.

Holding a book in his hand, Huaiqing stood by the window, looking at the scenery in the courtyard.

"Perseverantly tempering the primordial spirit can promote Huajin faster"

She chewed on the message.

Indeed, apart from visualizing day after day when the qi training state is perfect, warriors will slow down the visualization once they are successfully promoted to the god refining state.

Spend most of the time practicing qi and soaking in medicinal baths, laying the groundwork for promotion to copper-skinned iron bones.

After reaching the copper-skin and iron-bone state, he began to temper his fleshly body and comprehend transformation energy.

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

Including Huaiqing herself, after she was promoted to the Bronze Skin and Iron Bone Realm, she only visualized it once every three to five times, neglecting the tempering of the primordial spirit.

Yes, she has been promoted to copper skin and iron bone.

That day in the side hall outside the Imperial Study Room, being able to drink boiling hot tea was the best proof.

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

Huaiqing returned to the desk, tore off a note, and wrote a series of names on it.

Start with a name:

Chen Ying!

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

"Prepare the carriage, I have to go back to the residence."

After she ordered the servant girl, she went to the outer courtyard, summoned the chief guard, and said:

"Let the people on the list come to the house to find me."

The note is handed out.

Yunzhou!

In the prison of the commanding yamen, the air is humid 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 has been in prison for half a year.

As the newly-appointed chief minister of Yunzhou, a high-ranking official of the third rank, the imperial court paid no attention to his situation.

In half a year, he changed from a high-spirited scholar to a disheveled prisoner.

The dungeon was damp and cold, and his hands and feet were covered with frostbite. Because he hadn't bathed for a long time, his body was full of stench, and his skin was slightly festered.

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

After Song Changfu, who took office as chief envoy of Yunzhou, was put to death, he took office and went to Yunzhou to take over the position of chief envoy.

Xie Lu expected that Ding Yunzhou was a mess, and he was ready for a protracted war.

Who would have thought that it would go smoothly after taking office, neither did he encounter subordinates who formed a clique to make things difficult, nor was he suppressed by the commander of the capital, Yang Chuannan.

Unexpectedly, his affection for Yang Chuannan, the loyal commander of the capital, greatly increased.

After three months like this, one day, Yang Chuannan suddenly hosted a banquet and invited him to a banquet. At the banquet, the commander-in-chief denounced the corruption of the imperial court, the rampant corruption of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and the desperation of the common people.

And told him about the existence of the royal family legacy five hundred years ago, and sincerely invited him to join Qianlong City, overthrow the decadent royal family, bring order out of chaos, and welcome back Dafeng orthodoxy.

Xie Lu pretended to agree, and immediately wrote a secret letter to the court after returning home.

But his every move has long been monitored, and before the secret letter was sent out, he was put in a prison.

There was the clanging of armor in the dark corridor, and a tall and straight figure stopped outside the fence.

Dressed in armor and equipped with a knife, he is majestic and majestic.

It was Yang Chuannan, the commander of the capital of Yunzhou.

PS: Change first and then change.
