Volume 2 The Death of the Yellow Turban Chapter 23 Five Steps to Break the Game
As soon as Jia Xu's words came out, the Spirit Emperor and several people were taken aback.
Emperor Ling narrowed his eyes and said, "Jia Wenhe, give me a reason!" Why do you know that it is a plan, but you still have to deliberately fall for it! β
Jia Xu said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty! Throughout the ages, those who have achieved great things do not know how many, but those who have achieved things must first have a name, and if the name is not right, it is not good. In the same way, His Majesty's rejuvenation of the Son of Heaven to conquer his subordinates also needs a name and a righteous reason! Otherwise, those real enemies will be defeated, and they will slander Your Majesty for being brutal and unkind, and wantonly slaughter innocent people! β
Emperor Ling's eyes turned and said, "You mean?" β
Jia Xu smiled and said: "Whether it is Taiping Dao or the behind-the-scenes manipulators of the Huiren House, they have done so many great things with all their efforts, if we don't promote them much, wouldn't it be too sorry for them?" β
Emperor Ling's eyes lit up and said, "How to carry it forward?" β
Jia Xu said confidently: "Not much! Let's talk about the ten major crimes of Taiping Dao! The first is to kill the Son of Heaven, the second is to commit the murder of ministers, the third is to form a party without permission, the fourth is to besiege the imperial capital Luoyang, the fifth is to burn down civilian residences, the sixth is to rob the people's property, the seventh is to collude with foreign races to cause rebellion, the eighth is to slander the former emperor and disrespectful, the ninth is to openly gather people to rob prisons, and the tenth is to maliciously spread the plague! β
The crowd opened their mouths wide as they listened.
Nan Ying said sluggishly: "The first few are good!" Collusion with other races can barely make sense! But the spread of the plague? Is this reliable? β
Jia Xu said disapprovingly: "What's unreliable? Doesn't Zhang Jiao like to let people drink talisman water the most? We are sure that he poisoned the rune water, causing the plague to run rampant! Anyway, several great doctors in the world are in our camp, and the people can't believe it! β
He sneered, "Who hasn't died because of the plague?" I don't believe it! Once these ten major crimes are announced in the world, how many people will dare to continue to rebel with him! β
Nanying almost choked to death without gasping, and secretly raised his big fingers, poisoner, poisoner! You are really a master who spreads rumors and slanders and frames them out of thin air!
Emperor Ling listened to it and was refreshed: "Well said! This edict will win the hearts and minds of the people and isolate Taiping Dao! But it's easy for me to issue an edict, what about the soldiers and horses? How many Taiping believers are there millions? Even if someone deviates from Germany, its momentum is far beyond the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in my hands can be wiped out! β
Jia Xu raised his second finger: "The second step, order all states and counties in the world to allow them to recruit soldiers and horses to fight against the thief army!" β
The Spirit Emperor's body trembled and said, "No! As soon as this head opens, all localities will support troops and respect themselves, how can the Han country be stable? β
Jia Xu laughed and said: "As long as the Taiping Dao can be defeated in the shortest possible time, Your Majesty can take advantage of the unstable power in various places, in the name of rewarding meritorious deeds, recall them to the imperial capital, reassign people with cronies to replace them, and then let the local soldiers disarm and return to the field!" β
The Spirit Emperor pondered for a moment, and finally nodded: "This method is feasible!" β
Nan Ying's heart was cold when he heard this, could it be that the beginning of the chaos in the world was because of Jia Xu's advice? In history, he is indeed one of the sources of trouble.
Emperor Ling spoke again: "The difficulty of soldiers and horses is solved, but how to raise money and food?" If there is no money and food, no matter how many soldiers and horses there are, it will be difficult to win! β
A strange smile appeared on Jia Xu's face: "Xiaomin is about to talk about this third step!" There is a saying that under the whole world, it is not the king's land, has Your Majesty forgotten? Except for those thieves with evil intentions, all the people in the world are loyal to Your Majesty! At this time when the country is in danger, should they also come forward? β
The Spirit Emperor whispered "Ah": "You mean, you mean!" β
Jia Xu nodded slightly.
Zhang Rang and He Jin's faces twitched, and no one said a word.
A smile suddenly appeared on Emperor Ling's lips, and he said softly, "But in this case, will it cause dissatisfaction among the subjects?" Those who can have the strength to donate money and food are all those families and scholars! β
Jia Xu pretended to be stunned and said, "Dare to ask Your Majesty, who gave them everything?" They wouldn't be naΓ―ve enough to think that Zhang Jiao would give them this, would they? β
He smiled evilly again: "Your Majesty, don't think that Xiaomin is a believer in Taiping Dao, but Xiaomin really heard that Zhang Jiao has been propagating the idea of equality between people without dignity!" Under the nest, many people still understand the truth that Ann has finished eggs! β
Emperor Ling also pretended to say suddenly: "I see! β
Zhang Rang and He Jin finally changed color.
However, Emperor Ling did not intend to let them go, and said: "Zhang Rang, He Jin, do you think Jia Wenhe's words are reasonable?" β
Zhang Rang squeezed out a smile and said: "The old minister thinks that it is indeed reasonable!" β
He Jin also nodded hurriedly.
Suddenly, Jia Xu said again: "Of course, if Your Majesty thinks that he has made outstanding contributions, he can be promoted according to the situation!" Those who have no merit but are willing to donate money and food can also be rewarded with a rank and no power! β
When Zhang Rang and He Jin heard this, their faces were overjoyed at the same time, and they said, "The minister is willing to donate money and food!" β
Joke! What does it mean to make an outstanding contribution? What is situational promotion? Isn't it the Son of Heaven who looks at whoever is pleasing to the eye? It would be a fool not to show your heart at this time!
Emperor Ling smiled and said, "Okay! Good! Of course, I understand the intentions of the two Aiqing! β
Nanying's heart has been sinking, is this the truth about Emperor Ling's purchase of the official mantle? History is really a big joke on itself, and if this is the real history, then it can be said that you are the one who started it all. Because it was himself, Jia Xu and Emperor Ling collided. He suddenly wanted to turn around and walk away, not wanting to listen anymore.
"Fourth!" Jia Xu's voice still came unhurriedly, "If Zhang Jiao is opposed, the world will shake, and some alien races who have been disobedient for a long time will definitely be ready to move, Your Majesty can first appease and requisition, and select elite people to participate in the crusade against Taiping Dao, in this way, it will not only speed up the process of attack, but also greatly weaken the strength of foreign races, so that they dare not act rashly!" β
"Well said!" Emperor Ling clapped his hands heavily and said, "I don't want the front door to drive away the tiger and the back door to enter the wolf!" It's a two-bird solution! β
"Fifth!" Jia Xu's voice suddenly hesitated, "Xiaomin is still thinking about it, and he hasn't thought about it!" There are pros and cons to cover this plan, which is really difficult to grasp! β
The Spirit Emperor was so happy when he heard this, he hurriedly said, "How is it?" The text and the words can be said! β
Jia Xu said word by word: "Lift the party!" β
"What!" Not only Emperor Ling, but even Zhang Rang and He Jin also screamed.
Emperor Ling's complexion changed again and again, and finally said, "Say it!" Why should you lift the party, if your reasons are sufficient, maybe I can consider it! β
Jia Xu sighed and said, "This step is completely to deal with the people behind the Huiren House!" β
Nanying couldn't help but say, "What does this have to do with them?" β
Jia Xu simply ignored him and said directly to Emperor Ling: "All along, this group of people has been hidden in the maze, and we don't know who they are at all. But what does Your Majesty think they will be? β
The Spirit Emperor's face suddenly became gloomy: "Go on!" β
Jia Xu said calmly: "They have unimaginable manpower and financial resources, which shows that their families are extremely wealthy, and they dare to kill the king and rebel, which shows that they are extremely dissatisfied with the actual situation and do not belong to vested interest groups, Your Majesty thinks that what kind of people will they be!" β
Zhang let the wide sleeves of his robe be automatic without wind, He Jin couldn't help but reach out to wipe the sweat off his face, and blurted out: "You! How did you guess? β
Emperor Ling's voice finally showed a trace of anger that could not be concealed: "Since you have already guessed, why do you still want to lift the party's shackles, isn't this just playing into their trap?" β
Jia Xu waved his hand and said, "It turns out that Your Majesty already knows!" So good, the two party failures, how many tens of thousands of people are implicated? Dare to ask Your Majesty, can you dig out those real chaotic parties from it? β
The Spirit Emperor's voice was low: "Of course not!" Otherwise, I would not have allowed them to live to this day! β
"Your Majesty is absolutely right!" Jia Xu's sinister smile seemed to brew a larger mystery, "How can we bring a school of fish to the surface of a pool of stagnant water?" β
The answer couldn't be simpler! That is to stir up this pool of deep waters! β
"They have hated it for many years, so what? It is to re-ascend to the top of the mountain of power, and even to destroy my Han River! As long as they are relieved of the party, they will not be willing to be lonely and jump out one by one! β
"Your Majesty's job is to find out from a school of fish the strongest and most cunning! As long as they are included in the network, the level of the pool can really be calmed down! β
"Of course!" Jia Xu finally said heavily, "Xiaomin can only say this way, as for whether to stir the pond, how to observe the fish and how to get out of the net, it can only be decided by His Majesty!" β
The hall fell silent again, and after a long time, the Spirit Emperor's slightly hoarse voice sounded: "I know! It's really time! There are some things I have to do, or I may not have a chance to do them again! β
Zhang Rang and He Jin were thrilled to hear it, their hands were sweating, and no one even thought about the deep meaning in Emperor Ling's words.
Jia Xu suddenly spoke again: "This stick that stirs the pond must be carefully chosen, otherwise the fish may not be fooled!" β
A trace of ruthlessness flashed on the Spirit Emperor's face: "Of course!" And maybe this stick will become a fishing rod in the future! β
He looked at Jia Xu and suddenly showed a complicated look: "Jia Wenhe! I'd love to turn you into a stick to support you! β
He looked at Nanying again and sighed, "But it's okay, you are holding in his hands, which is quite reassuring to me!" β
Nanying and the others changed color together, knowing that Emperor Ling had become jealous of Jia Xu's wisdom, and the implication of his words was that if Jia Xu could not be used by himself, he was afraid that he would have to get rid of it quickly.
Jia Xu's face remained unchanged and said, "Your Majesty, is there a difference?" Although Xiaomin's stick is held in the hands of the lord, isn't the lord just one of His Majesty's hands? β
The Spirit Emperor was stunned for a moment, and finally laughed and said, "En! That's a great way to say! β
