Chapter 470: The Temperance Envoy

Webster's mood can be described as extremely low.

When she was still concerned about Wu Zetian's 'demon woman', Wei Hongmin's reminder made her see more terrifying facts.

And after reading this note, Merriam-Webster really knew where the seriousness of the situation was.

She sat down worriedly, for a long time, and said, "So...... Is there really no way around this? ”

Wei Hongmin smiled bitterly and said, "Back to Niangniang, there is no way." ”

He saw that Wei didn't believe it, so he talked eloquently: "These three problems, if you want to solve them, the only way is that the imperial court and Henan Mansion are completely opposed, and Niangniang directly issued an order in the name of the Son of Heaven to define Qin Shaoyou as a traitor, Shangjia as a chaotic party, and Taiping Xue as a pseudo-school, and then summoned the world's military horses to go to the crusade." In this way, when the war is in the same place, those goods of Mengjin can be turned away, and as soon as the army arrives in Luoyang, Taipingxue can also be destroyed. ”

"It's just that if you want to condemn Qin Shaoyou as a traitor, what reason can you use to convince the public, if you can't convince the public, the people of the world will be suspicious, and if you want to quell the rebellion, I'm afraid that it will be even more difficult. Besides, Qin Shaoyou is concerned about the support of the Dongshi clan, once Qin Shaoyou is accused of being a traitor to the party, and the children of the Shandong Shi clan are full of government and opposition, how can they be willing to listen to the tune? Not to mention, there is still an emperor in Henan Mansion, what if the emperor makes an order at this time, competes with each other, and accuses us of being a traitor to the party? At that time, people's hearts are floating, don't talk about begging thieves, even within the court, there are also arguments and quarrels, so what can you use to please thieves? ”

Wei frowned, this is true, if there was no Wu Zetian at the beginning, only for one Qin Shaoyou, maybe there would still be a chance, but now, Wu Zetian is safe and stable in Luoyang Palace, crusading against Qin Shaoyou is equivalent to crusading against Wu Zetian, can the son crusade against his mother, and the daughter-in-law can target his mother-in-law?

She said with difficulty: "Except for crusade, there is nothing this palace can do if you don't believe it." ”

Wei Hongmin smiled bitterly. Said: "Even if the imperial court wants to formulate any strategy, if you want to stop these merchants, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult, and the most difficult part is that the local officials are above, Niangniang, if the imperial court wants to ban commerce and trade, the ministers dare to ask, then the loyal Xuzhou assassin Wang Yingshang will do his best, but what about the others?" ”

"People are selfish. If the imperial court issued a ban, the first to be damaged would be the local wealthy families, because their ore and timber were worthless all of a sudden. Are they willing to take a break? If they refuse to take a break and have to exert influence on the government, can the local officials ignore them? Even if you can. Those businessmen, all of whom have a lot of money, if they take out money and bribe the local government. And how? ”

"The minister could almost have imagined that once the court issued a ban, the ban would eventually become a dead letter. On the contrary, it will cause the court to attract a lot of harsh criticism. ”

Wealth is moving, Qin Shaoyou relies on interests to encourage others, and relies on real money to 'GOU' others. But the imperial court wants to rely on the ban to make those people not allowed to do this and not to do that, which is simply a joke.

Webster deeply believes this, human nature is selfish, how can she not understand.

Wei couldn't help but say: "If that's the case, doesn't it mean that our Wei family will definitely be defeated?" Hongmin, things are really so bad that there is not even a last bit of a good cure? ”

Wei Hongmin glanced at Wei Shi deeply, he just sighed in his heart, on the surface, the Wei family is indeed extremely powerful, but in fact, only he knows that although the imperial court is tall, but compared with the Shence Mansion, he is just a dying old man who is riddled with diseases.

He gritted his teeth and said, "There is no way." After taking a deep breath, he said slowly: "The only way is to let the chief officials in various places make it their fundamental interest to refuse to trade and trade, and only if they share prosperity and disgrace with our Wei family, only in this way can this momentum be stopped." Niangniang, what we have to do is to make ten, twenty, or even thirty Wei family ......."

"Make the Wei family......," Merriam-Webster muttered.

Wei Hongmin explained: "The imperial court should delegate power, give greater rights to each province and state, and set up large states above each state, such as Hebei, set up Youzhou to govern each state and county, and then set up a general manager, and the imperial court should make it a herdsman and guard more than 100 counties in dozens of states in Youzhou, so that it can pass through the state, train troops in Tuntian, and govern one side ......"

Before Wei Hongmin's words fell, Wei Xuanzhen's face on the side changed greatly.

The governor of a large state, who administers hundreds of counties in dozens of states, also gives the festival, what is this festival? The festival is the meaning of rewarding and killing, which is equivalent to saying that the governor of the festival, when he arrives at the place, is holding the festival of the Son of Heaven, such as I come in person, within this state, you can reward whoever you want, kill whoever you want, everything is your own decision, if this is the case, then you can pay it back, doesn't this weaken the imperial court, let Qin Shaoyou emerge one after another in the world?

Wei Xuanzhen scolded angrily: "Wei Hongmin, what are you talking about, you are so bold......"

Wei Hongmin's face remained unchanged, and he said: "Of course I am not doing this for the sake of the imperial court, this move is harmful to the country, will I not know?" In the early years of the imperial court, the states originally relied on the tuntian to support the government soldiers, although the government soldiers were controlled by the local assassins, but they were also subject to the dispatch of the imperial court, but now, the tuntian has been completely destroyed, and the government soldier system has become useless, and sooner or later it will have to be changed. Since the government soldiers are useless, if you want long-term peace in the local area, the only way to recruit soldiers is to recruit soldiers, but what money does the imperial court use to recruit soldiers? Rather than this, it is better to let the local governors recruit their own troops. Naturally, I just said that I am planning for the Wei family, and I think that this is for our Wei family to find a way out, and for the sake of our Wei family's long-term consideration. ”

Wei Xuanzhen scolded: "Where is this ......?"

Webster's face was gloomy, and he said sharply: "Okay, let's listen to him first." ”

Wei Xuanzhen glared at Wei Xuanzhen hatefully, and snorted coldly, and the rest of the Wei family couldn't help but talk in a low voice, this matter was too big, and many people felt a little crazy.

But Wei Hongmin said word by word: "The reason why the minister made this suggestion is for two reasons, the reason why the magistrates are floating at the moment is because they have little stake in whether they choose the imperial court or secretly collude with the Shence Mansion, and they do not have much harm in conniving at the merchants, on the contrary, they may be able to get a piece of the pie from the hands of those merchants, and they are not even more interested in rejecting the Taiping School, nor do they have much effort to control the fugitives, this is because these things are certainly not good for the Wei family, But there is no pain in the skin, so they can be indulgent, they can ignore it, they can ignore it!
