Chapter 946: Where are the rivers and lakes going?
"Immortal!" Ning Yue's eyes silently retracted, and a thick jealousy flashed in the depths of her eyes, "In order to appear the first immortal in the world, even the immortal has to appear, and that martial arts must really be eliminated? The Great Zhou Dynasty, the Ninety-Five Honor, in the eyes of the immortals, what is it? One thought is born, one thought is extinguished, heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs!"
Ning Yue's words caused everyone to fall into a long silence. If there are really immortals in the world, then what is the meaning of a dynasty like theirs? What is the meaning of an emperor?
After a long time, a wry smile appeared on Mo Wuxian's face, "Ning Yue, then what do you say I should do, there is really a way to get the best of both worlds in the world?" There is no law in their eyes, there are no rules, and in the hearts of the martial arts people in the rivers and lakes, the great man of heaven and earth is the greatest.
Behavior has always been about doing what you want. If it is okay to be upright, they at least have rules and precepts, and those who are not bound by the sect will burn, kill, and plunder all kinds of evil. And those who are famous and upright, but they also let it go, if it is not to arouse public anger, they will also stand by and watch.
When they thought of eliminating violence and peace, they didn't know how many people had suffered. Ning Yue, it's not that I don't like the Jianghu martial arts, it's really that their existence is a devastation under the governance of the Great Zhou Dynasty!"
Looking at the sad faces of the ministers, Ning Yue also sighed silently in her heart. The problem of Jianghu martial arts, not only troubled Mo Wuxian, all dynasties and dynasties had hidden dangers in this regard, and especially after the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, this hidden danger became particularly obvious.
The Great Zhou Dynasty established the country with martial arts, and the founding Taizu was a famous martial arts hero. Because of this relationship, the Jianghu martial arts sect has developed vigorously like never before. Because of this, 500 years after the founding of the country, the martial arts practitioners in the Central Plains have reached a terrible point.
Ning Yue continued to ponder in her heart, and finally took a step slowly, "Your Majesty, the matter of Jianghu martial arts is not unsolvable. In fact, in the past, the imperial court's practice of grading and classifying the Jianghu martial arts was already a method, but because the imperial court had no prestige, the Jianghu Wulin never took him seriously.
In the past, the policy of the Tenshogunate on the martial arts of the rivers and lakes has always been high-pressure, and coercion is the main thing but there is no inducement, and for a long time, the natural contradictions have accumulated deeper and deeper, and it has become more and more difficult to control. The ministers have tested it before, and in the past five years, the martial arts in the rivers and lakes have been calm, they are busy making money and running business, and gradually they are no longer looking for trouble.
But now that I think about it, the strength of this temptation is a bit great. The emperor suddenly made a move on the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, which is not all a bad thing. At least it also made the Jianghu martial arts put away their arrogance, and all sects and factions also had a fear of the imperial court.
Now we might as well combine the two, coercion and temptation, so that the Jianghu martial arts will not dare to break away from the court and be enemies of the court, nor can we get used to them thinking that we have nothing to do with them.
Didn't the Jianghu sect want the imperial court to give them the qualifications to do business? Doesn't they want to show some benefits from the fingers of the imperial court to support their families?
The higher the sect rating, the larger the share, and the smaller the rank, the smaller the share. In this way, those idle sects will be annexed and merged to strengthen themselves.
In this way, those wandering individuals or weak sects will have no room to survive, and they will gradually perish. And the large sects have been able to grow and survive because of the benefits of the imperial court, which is equivalent to curbing the throat of the Jianghu martial arts and making them unable to move. ”
"Then, what about those small sects or wandering individual martial arts people who don't get benefits because they make trouble? After all, there are many martial arts in the rivers and lakes, and the number of famous and decent people is less than half of them, and most of them are small sects or no sects!" Zeng Weigu suddenly blurted out when Ning Yue's words landed, Zeng Weigu had already foreseen such a method. So when Ning Yue's voice landed, she asked eagerly.
"The benefits we give to Jianghu Wulin, of course, can't just be just interests, but also responsibilities. For example, the Wuyi faction, he is the famous nine-star sect of my Great Zhou, and he can naturally get the largest and best share of interests, but while enjoying the benefits, he must ensure the stability of the wasteland.
Those evil demon aliens who dare to stir up trouble in the land of the Great Zhou, they must be responsible for leveling down, and if they can't do it, their interests will decrease year by year. If you need support, you can apply to the Imperial Court.
Originally, the Jianghu Martial Arts had no desire for the imperial court, and we ordered the Jianghu Martial Arts to exterminate some underworld strengths, the Green Forest bandits, they agreed on the surface, but in fact they left it behind as soon as they turned their heads? Because they don't need to beg us, they have no benefit to the imperial court.
In the past, the survival of the martial arts in the rivers and lakes depended on nothing more than two things, reputation and martial arts, with these two things, the merchants would ask them to escort them, and their reputation would allow them to do many things easily without contribution.
Even the Wulin sect encroached on the land, called the Wulin sect, which was actually a landlord. But if they were all converted into merchants, then they wouldn't have to own so much land to ensure the consumption of the sect. The share of the imperial court cannot be more, not less, as long as they feel that they follow the imperial court, and their lives are better than before. ”
After Zeng Weigu listened, the essence in his eyes flashed as if he was thinking about the feasibility of this matter, but Mo Wuxian's face showed a knowing smile, "In this way, the stronger the stronger, the weaker the weaker, but in fact, the number of martial arts people in the rivers and lakes has not decreased, and the martial arts people who defect to the major sects will become more and more, right?"
If because of this, the major sects are allowed to become bigger, then what should they do to counter the imperial court in the future?" Mo Wuxian's words suddenly made everyone's eyes shoot towards Ning Yue. Just as Mo Wuxian worried, suppressing Wulin, the initial worry was that they would conspire to rebel.
A faint smile appeared on Ning Yue's face, "This is to limit the number of people in the Nine Star Sect, and to curb it from the share provided, besides, once a sect's source of income depends entirely on the gift of the imperial court, then they will never be able to escape like beasts in chains." Moreover, it is impossible for a state to have only one top sect.
The other sects must be eyeing each other's interests. Fighting and fighting in the rivers and lakes is the nourishment for their growth, how can we let this group of tigers be imprisoned in cages and just wait to open their mouths? The imperial court can be an angler, and it is good to always pay attention to the balance. ”
"It's a good idea, but ...... Can it really be done? Why do I always feel that such a thing is a bit whimsical? The major sects of the Jianghu martial arts are not stupid, how can they honestly follow the ideas of the imperial court? Besides, if they disobey the yang and the yin, we will have nothing to do. After a long time, Mo Wuxian said with a long sigh.
"This thing is easy to say, but it is difficult to do, but the premise of all this requires a standard, that is, no matter our court, including the Son of Heaven, as well as the rules that all factions of the Jianghu martial arts must abide by.
This regulation must be higher than everything else, just like the agreement we signed with Jianghu Wulin, whoever tears up the agreement without authorization will be punished. Only in this way can the Jianghu martial arts obey and reassure them.
Judging from the current situation, we can't destroy the martial arts, and to eliminate the martial arts is to bring about their own destruction, and to let the martial arts go is not a good strategy for long-term peace and stability. The gains and losses here still need to be considered by the emperor and the elders!"
Ning Yue's voice landed, and Mo Tianya and the pavilion elders fell into a long thought. And Mo Wuxian waved his hand freely, "This matter is no longer something I can worry about, Tianya, you need to keep the content of today's conversation firmly in mind." How to control the Jianghu martial arts in the future depends on you......"
"The son's experience is still lacking, and he is not thoughtful, so a decision related to the stability of the Great Zhou Dynasty still needs his father to check for his son, and the son is afraid ......"
"Bastard!" Mo Wuxian suddenly became furious, and Mo Tianya fell to the ground with a thud, "You're going to ascend to the Great Treasure tonight and become the new emperor, and now you still say no to me?"
You have become the emperor, and the burden of the world has fallen on your shoulders, what can you do and what can't you do? No, no, no, you have to do it! cough cough ...... "Suddenly, Mo Wuxian let out a violent cough, and the imperial doctor who was on call outside rushed in in a hurry.
Chen Gong took the pulse for Mo Wuxi, and his face was even more gloomy as water. Slowly, he gently helped Mo Wuxian to lie down, bowed to Ning Yue and his party and hugged his fists, "The emperor is not energetic, he needs to rest well, let's stop here today, and please move." ”
During Mo Wuxian coughed, he waved his hand silently. A group of old sect masters suddenly fled from the dormitory in a hurry as if they had been amnestied. And the appearance of a few old people walking is even more shaky, as if they are terminally ill.
After all, on such a hot day, I was still by the fire, and I didn't stop sweating all the time. Not to mention that a few pavilion elders are already old, even if the young strong guy comes, he can't stand it.
I didn't faint from heat stroke, which is already a blessing. After leaving Mo Wuxian's bedroom, the prince was hurriedly dragged to the side by a group of people.
Ning Yue's eyes suddenly showed a look of doubt, and she turned her head to look at Zeng Xiangguo. Zeng Weigu squeezed out a difficult smile on his face, gently put down the water scoop and let out a long breath of cold air, "Didn't the prince just hear what the emperor said? Tonight, the crown prince will ascend the throne and become the new emperor." ”
"Now?" Ning Yue stared, looking at the pitch-black sky, "Ascending the throne overnight?"
"It is not that he ascended the throne overnight, but that tonight is the only auspicious time of the month. The emperor can come to his senses at this time, which can be regarded as a blessing from God. There were still two hours left on the throne, and the crown prince needed to go to the bath and change clothes.
Let's go and prepare, the civil and military ministers who worship the new emperor are almost all in the palace at this time. When we pay homage to Wang Xinjun, this alternation of imperial power can be regarded as a thrilling completion. ”
