Zhang Xiaowu smiled confidently, took out a piece of paper to the two, and introduced: "Your Majesty, Yushuai, I heard that the pseudo-Wu was crowned king after the founding of Jiangzhou, what twenty-four kings, thirty-six little kings, and seventy-two virtuous kings, but this prince was sealed by them More than 100 people, but the minister heard that these more than 100 virtuous kings are all from Jiangnan. This is the list that the minister has found, including the pseudo-Wu Wangjue and the name and place of origin, which is very interesting, please take a look at it. ”

The two of them took the piece of paper, looked at the list of pseudo-Wu Wangjue, and looked strange: "What do you mean-"

"The uneven distribution of spoils inevitably leads to conflicts of interest, as has been the case since ancient times." Zhang Xiaowu smiled faintly, "But now that the puppet Wu King Wang Deyue is vigorously supporting the Jiangnan sects, isn't this suppressing the sects in other places?" I suspect that the Heavenly Fire Sect members in Lingnan, Central Plains, North, Southwest, and other regions must be indignant in their hearts. They have been hiding for decades, and they have no merit and hard work, and now they are not even a king, and they will inevitably be indignant and even take refuge in the imperial court. Your Majesty, it is better to do this, Your Majesty issued a holy decree, saying that except for the Tianhuo Sect believers in the Jiangnan area, if other local believers defect to the imperial court, they can be exempted from responsibility. If the whistleblower is concerned, he can be protected by the imperial court and be added to the knighthood. They are willing to create internal contradictions, and we will add fuel to the fire. ”

In the face of the rebels of the Heavenly Fire Sect, it was not that Emperor Dade and Wang Jingzhi did not think of buying them, but the followers of the Heavenly Fire Sect were relatively united and had firm beliefs. But now it is different from the past, in the past, all the Heavenly Fire Cultists were hiding everywhere, and everyone was brothers to each other, and there was no distinction between high and low. Now that the puppet Wu is in charge of the country, after the prison of the country, it is necessary to divide the officials to manage the country, so naturally there is a problem of the distribution of interests, which leads to contradictions between everyone.

In order to calm down the contradictions, Wang Deyue, the puppet king of Wu, specially set up more than 100 princes, but to give everyone a king, so that everyone no longer competes. Most of the people in the Jiangnan area are relatives and neighbors, how many relatives and friends have been lost in order to resist the imperial court, and how many people have been seriously injured in the long-term battle with the imperial army. On the other hand, the Heavenly Fire Sect members in other places are just hiding a little higher and destroying them, carrying out one or two assassinations, and even the deputy sect leader is hiding to enjoy money and beautiful women. If they are all the same, how can they be worthy of those warriors in Jiangnan.

So when he was crowned king, almost all the kings were from Jiangnan, and only three kings were from other places, one of them was the deputy sect leader, and the other two were northerners who led the army in the puppet Wu army.

The puppet Wu's title of king is not the starting point of the contradiction, but the flashpoint of the internal contradictions of the Tianhuo Sect, which has also caused many internal disagreements in the Tianhuo Sect, including the plan of the four boys to infiltrate the palace this time, which is not at all within the plan of the deputy sect leader Lin Feng. The Cult's four hideouts in the Dragon Capital were exposed in two places due to this failed plan, and half of the Cultists were slaughtered, and their families were also slaughtered.

Lin Feng was furious, and pointed at the four Dharma protectors sent by Wang Deyue to his side, pointing at their noses and reprimanding, "This is your ability? That's what you want? You killed half of our cultists in Longdu, and you are responsible for that. ”

The four of them glanced at each other and lowered their heads.

Lin Feng said: "More than 300 people were killed by your stupid plan, you must be responsible for this, and I don't need a few fools by my side, you go back to Jiangnan." By the way, I want to say, I don't want to be a prince, the great cause has not been accomplished, and it is unreasonable to be crowned a king first. In the past, I said that the Sect Leader Wang was wise and decisive, and he would definitely be able to form the Heavenly Fire Sect, but now it seems that he is the one who succeeds, and he is also the one who loses. He can make the Heavenly Fire Sect brilliant and bright, and he can also make the Heavenly Fire Sect lose its light and seal the dust. ”

After glancing at each other, the four Dharma Protectors bowed and retreated.

After the four of them left, the housekeeper Lin Hu whispered, "Master, will they leave?" I'm worried that they're not willing. ”

Lin Feng said: "These four people are deeply trusted by the sect leader, but they left in embarrassment in less than a year, how can they give up." Lin Hu, you have to pay close attention to the movements of these four people, and if you can't do anything, you can secretly leak their whereabouts to the silver guard. ”

"Silverguard? Why the Silver Guard? They are nothing more than ...... who are in charge of the people and direct the traffic."

"You don't understand." Lin Feng smiled slightly, "If it is directly revealed to the Golden Guard, it will definitely be the Golden Guard, but if it is given to the Silver Guard, with Zhang Xiaowu's temperament, he will definitely not wait for the Golden Guard to arrest people, he will definitely arrest people himself." In this way, there must be a gap between the gold-clothed guard and the silver-clothed guard. ”

"Master's move is indeed wonderful, this is called killing three birds with one stone." Lin Hu boasted.

Lin Feng said: "The strategy is wonderful, but the future is uncertain, this Zhang Xiaowu is unpredictable, say that he is a reckless man, he is delicate, and he actually found out the Tianhuo Sect's plan to enter the palace from the boy in the Jingshi room, say that he is meticulous, he is a murderous butcher, this person is uncertain, uncertain." ”

Lin Hu said: "Master, I heard that the female county king of Nanyang intends to be with him, if this is the case, it is a big scandal in the court, and the officials and masters of the Holy Han must be crazy." ”

Lin Feng laughed: "You don't have to take this kind of banter seriously. ”

After cracking the case of the four boys, Zhang Xiaowu was once again busy with official business, but fortunately, Ruan Qingwen, Wu Song, Guan Xiang and Wen Ruyu and others actively helped, and the newly rebuilt Yinyiwei absorbed the essence of the former Yinyiwei, removed its dross, restored the Yinyiwei structure in half a year, and gradually restored the order of the market.

The end of the year is approaching, the market is becoming more and more lively, Zhang Xiaowu is also Zhang Luo to give some benefits to the silver-clothed guards, now the most popular thing is meat, but it is a pity that the dragon is not Saibei, you can buy cattle and sheep from the herdsmen, in the Central Plains, it is illegal to eat beef casually.

Zhang Xiaowu had no choice but to ask someone to write a letter to Xiao Kai in Saibei, informing him that Yinyiwei wanted to buy thousands of sheep, but this year Saibei was also lacking in vegetation and the number of livestock had dropped significantly. More than 300 children were born in Mucheng this year, and the population continued to increase, but the food became less and less, but fortunately, Zhang Xiaowu transferred 7,000 people to relieve the food pressure in Mucheng.

Xiao Kai also informed Zhang Xiaowu in a reply that according to the news revealed by the inuyi merchants, when the spring flowers bloom next year, the Beiyi people are ready to attack the Yan people, and now the two sides have cast weapons to buy armor, the price of a set of leather armor has been speculated to fifty taels, and the price of a set of iron armor has reached one hundred and fifty taels.

"The Murong clan colluded with Beiyi to sell a thousand sets of leather armor privately." Zhang Xiaowu was taken aback when he saw the end of the letter, Murong Yan, this old guy, was really too bold, and he actually sold weapons to Inuyi, and his crime was unforgivable. But since Saibei Ghost Wei knew about it, then Jin Yiwei naturally knew about it, and it was not his turn to impeach, so naturally someone would impeach Murong Lao Thief.

I'm afraid that this time, it will not be so easy for the old thief Murong to dodge again.
