Chapter 57: Fueling the Flames

"Apart from her, who has the courage to intervene in the struggle between the East and the West?"

Miyagi's face changed slightly, and his two mustaches trembled, and he regretted the "naΓ―ve" gaffe just now.

"Since it's from Shengcong, it's a different story. Judging from the tone revealed by the DPRK, this time we are afraid that we will cut the meat to feed the eagles and give away many interests in northern Xiangbei. ”

Wang Xizhi was noncommittal, squinted her eyes and said: "Compared to this, I want to find out more, what is her calculation?" The positions of the two factions are already targeted, forcing the cow to eat grass, even if it pretends to be harmonious, what is the point? ”

As everyone knows, the relationship between the East and the West is too deep, and what they are fighting for is not petty profits.

Located in the Xiangjiang River Basin, the former Qin Dynasty has abundant water and soil, and has been dominated by agriculture for hundreds of years. As long as the grain production is sufficient, the imperial court's financial and tax revenues can be guaranteed without worry, and the country and the people will be safe.

Therefore, the old Qin Dynasty always advocated emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce, supporting many landlords and gentry on both sides of the Xiangjiang River, and prohibiting merchant trade. In this situation, the ideology of heavy agriculture was deeply rooted, and the literati all took it as the criterion for discussing the political state.

After the Tang Dynasty unified the north, it revitalized the rule of officials, opened up a wide range of opinions, and recruited talents from other five countries. Xiling Academy conformed to the situation, sent Confucian students into Beijing to enter the office, spread branches, and gradually grew into the Xiling Friends Party.

They made suggestions and suggestions, all of them were the remnants of the former Qin Dynasty, and in essence, they became the spokesmen of the landlord group in northern Xiangbei.

The Xiling Party, the former Qin landlords, and the heavy agriculture and suppression of business, these three are inseparable and constitute an extremely large interest association.

On the other side, the opposite is true.

As the pillar of the Donglin Party, the Donglin Academy originally controlled the government of Soochow for a long time. Most of their political views were to revitalize commerce and encourage the circulation of goods, so as to attack the backward agrarian economy and break the monopoly of those big landlord groups.

After the unification of the Tang Dynasty, Donglin Confucianism also gained a firm foothold in Chang'an. Those who are willing to stand behind them are all wealthy businessmen, and the most typical representative of them is the Qinghe Cui family, whose business is all over the world.

There are fundamental differences of interest between these two big friends, and they are-for-tat, unlike two shrews who disagree and scold the street in public, and they can shake hands and make peace afterwards and laugh at each other.

Even if the emperor came forward to get them to stop this party dispute, it would not be easy.

So Wang Xizhi is very incomprehensible, the emperor arranged this hand, forcing the two sides to get along under the same roof, looking up and not looking down, what is the intention?

The meaning was so deep that both of them fell into deep thought, and the room was silent again.

After careful consideration, Miyagi spoke again, his frowning brows already stretched, and his eyes flashed with wisdom.

"Maybe what Your Majesty wants is real unification!"

"Unification?" Wang Xizhi raised her head and looked at him with a smile on her face.

"That's just my guess. A few days ago, after the great turmoil in Kyoto officialdom, the lineage of soldiers plummeted, and even most of the military power was taken away by our Confucianism. Emphasizing literature over military force, the original situation of civil and military checks and balances is gone, this is the great unification! ”

"We laugh at the fact that there are many factions in the military family, and there are constant infighting and strife, in fact, why is this not the case with Confucianism? Out of interests, the eastern and western parties confronted and separated the government and the opposition. And the struggle between the two parties in the north and the south is even more ......."

When Wang Xizhi heard this, she suddenly raised her hand to interrupt. He had understood the meaning of the words.

Miyagi smiled, understanding why Lord Shujue interrupted him, so he skipped the taboo topic and continued: "The four major academies, a plate of scattered sand, to put it bluntly, are not united. If the emperor wants to rule the four seas, he must first unify Confucianism. ”

"If it's just for show, even if we sacrifice a little power, it's acceptable. My lord, in fact, what worries me the most is that Your Majesty wants to be real this time! ”

Wang Xizhi's eyes trembled, "What do you mean?" ”

Miyagi took a deep breath, his expression gloomy and inexplicably solemn.

"The most radical way to quell partisanship is to eliminate all partisanship. It has been more than ten years since the unification of the north, and the remnants of various dynasties are still tightly embracing and clinging to their original interests. From His Majesty's point of view, she actually only won the war and the land, but did not unify the hearts of the people! ”

Wang Xizhi said in astonishment: "You mean, she is called mediating the party dispute, but in fact, she took the opportunity to infiltrate and want to boil frogs in warm water and slowly disintegrate our old Qin party?" ”

Miyagi nodded vigorously and replied: "Heavy literature and suppression of martial arts is just a symptom, our Majesty the Empress, I'm afraid I want to sweep away all dissidents and truly reign over the world!" ”

Wang Xizhi sat on the chair, thought for a moment, and slapped the table, "In other words, Liu Chuanfeng, the solitary son, seems to be not worth mentioning, but it is likely to be the emperor's secret trick to kill people with a knife?!" ”

Miyagi picked up the feather fan on the table and played with it casually, his eyes sharp.

"If what I expected is right, it is the same on the Eastern Wu side, there are nails from the Western Party sent by the emperor. It's ridiculous that both sides have a fire in the backyard, but they don't know it yet, and they think it's just acting! ”

Speaking of this, Wang Xizhi thought about it and said worriedly: "A few days ago, Liu Chuanfeng came to the door in person, and kept saying that Yuan'er broke into the Assassin's Mansion and killed her daughter, and now I think about it, it turned out to be a hidden murder ......."

Miyagi was slightly cold, and reminded: "The adults are looking forward to it, and it is the soul of the Xiangbei Shi clan. If he is suspicious, he will most likely use you as a breakthrough. You have to be careful, don't fall for him! ”

At this moment, they don't know that under Ren Zhen's turmoil, their speculations will seem more and more reasonable.

Liu Chuanfeng was indeed sent by the emperor, as for whether he came to reconcile or wait for an opportunity to make trouble, only he knew best in Haiyan City.

Wang Xizhi pondered for a moment, thinking that Miyagi's view was insightful, and said: "In this case, if necessary, you can consider secretly getting rid of him." ”

Miyagi smiled, similar deeds, they have long been familiar with the road. No one can stay in the history of Xiangbei for a long time, not without reason.

"Our Confucian cultivation is heroic, the four books and five classics can shock the world, if you want to get rid of him quietly, it's really not easy......"

Wang Xizhi was smiling and was about to tease a few words, when the door was suddenly pushed open.

The second housekeeper, Wang Cai, broke in, his face was pale, and he couldn't breathe, "Young master, he'...... Killed! ”

"What?" Wang Xizhi stood up, the muscles on her face twitched violently, and she shouted, "You say it again?!" ”

Miyagi on the side also suddenly got up and stared at Wang Cai, who was trembling all over.

No one dared to believe that in the realm of Haiyan, there was an only son who would dare to kill Wang Xizhi and anger the real lord of the party.

Wang Cai was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "The young master was killed by Liu Zetian!" ”

Hearing the name Liu Zetian, Miyagi hurriedly turned around, only to see Wang Xizhi's fists clenched, and fire was about to erupt in his eyes.

"Liu Chuanfeng, I'm inseparable from you!"

The two were still discussing just now, and they should deal with the new assassin in this way. Now, Ren Zhen is fueling the flames with his own actions and forcing them to the only way.

Want to tie the party feud? There are no doors!
