Chapter 296: Wind and Rain
"Spread my will, and ordered Jiaozhou and Yunnan to send 30,000 soldiers each to encircle and suppress Danzhou."
Xu Jing's voice was cold and firm, without the slightest emotion.
"No."
Gonggong Cao nodded, bowed down and took a step forward, illuminating the road ahead.
"The second thing is more important than the Danzhou matter."
Gonggong Cao lowered his voice and continued.
"Jinyiwei was all eliminated in one night by all the spies in Xu, Qing, and Yansanzhou."
"Only three people escaped from the land of the three continents."
There is no need for Xu Jing to speak, Gonggong Cao has already blurted out the second thing.
"Who do you think did this?"
Xu Jing sat in front of the desk and looked at Gonggong Cao, who was kneeling in front of him, and asked.
"This matter, the old slave dare not say this."
Gonggong Cao's voice was low and his face was pale.
These three continents have always been critical and difficult to control.
It is not only that the land of the three continents is located in a good place, but the number of fertile fields occupied is extremely large.
There is even more such thing as a gentleman in the world.
It is now that the officials from the three continents account for nearly seventy percent of the officials in this great dry court.
There was once a scholar who said that the world's talents and three continents monopolize eight buckets.
The families that can occupy a place in the land of three continents are all people with hundreds of years of heritage.
And the three that are the leaders of the land of the three continents are the old literary valves that have been inherited for no less than 500 years.
"There are no outsiders here, just say it."
Xu Jing waved his hand and motioned for Cao Gong to speak openly.
"From what the old slave can see, he can do it so cleanly, and nine times out of ten it is the handiwork of those three families."
Gonggong Cao glanced at Xu Jing carefully and replied.
"The Yang family, the Xie family, the Wen family. These three families each occupy a continent, and they are even more in-laws to each other. ”
"Even the royal family of the past dynasties is difficult to enter the eyes of you."
"For example, in the matter of His Majesty's election of relatives this time, none of these three families have ever participated in the election."
Gonggong Cao looked at Xu Jing, who was expressionless, and continued to speak.
Just mentioning these, Father-in-law Cao only felt that there were thousands of mountains pressing down, and it was difficult to breathe.
Even now, Jinyiwei has been cut off in the land of three continents.
Gonggong Cao didn't dare to make any moves.
It's just that the extent of the implication of these three continents is far beyond Danzhou's comparison, once you do it.
Without waiting for the three continents to react, the Manchu civil and military forces were going to mutiny first.
"The land of three continents, really dare not move?"
Xu Jing's eyes were cold, and the moment Xu Jing raised his head, the room was full of coldness.
Even the martial arts grandmaster Cao Gonggong also felt cold all over his body, and his hands and feet were stiff.
"Your Majesty, what are you going to do with this matter?"
"From what the old slave can see, these three continents are different from the rest of the regions, and it is really not suitable to use troops."
"If you open the sin and wait, I am afraid that most of the reference scholars will be less than half today."
Gonggong Cao endured the chill and admonished.
Throughout the hundreds of years of Daqian, it is not that there is no emperor who wants to do something about these three continents.
It's just that this end is not good.
The most recent person is the Emperor Mingde a hundred years ago.
Its means are still soft, just to take back the military power in the hands of the first three families.
It was begged for resignation by hundreds of officials, and the government and the opposition were in turmoil.
Emperor Mingde died in an inexplicable mutiny that followed.
It is difficult to say that it is not directly related to these three continents.
"What? As far as you can see, I should swallow my anger and sit back and watch the land of the three continents defy the imperial power like this? ”
Xu Jing sneered and looked at Gonggong Cao, who was trembling from time to time.
"Naturally not, but at this time, it needs to be slowly figured out."
"Your Majesty, don't you know, at present, nearly seventy percent of the officials in this court are from these three continents."

"If Your Majesty really wants to use troops against the land of the three continents, I'm afraid it will be inappropriate."
"Not to mention, the land of Sanzhou is the homeland of the sage Confucius, although now this Confucian family is in decline, and it has long been retired for many years."
"But these three families are righteous Confucian students, and the heads of the previous generations are even more famous in the literary world."
"If your methods are too ruthless, I am afraid that the civil and military forces of this Manchu Dynasty will rebel."
Gonggong Cao lowered his voice and cautiously warned Xu Jing.
lest Xu Jing make an irreparable decision for a while.
"So, I have to endure and let these three families?"
"Even if my brocade guards were cut off one by one in the land of the three continents, the palace should also be invisible?"
The anger on Xu Jing's face was even more intense, and a killing intent fell on Cao Gong's head, which frightened the martial arts master with a chill down his spine and a cold sweat.
"Naturally not, the old slave just doesn't want to see His Majesty fall into the same situation as Emperor Mingde, so he is loyal and outspoken, if His Majesty has already made a decision, the old slave should obey His Majesty's will."
Gonggong Cao lowered his head, didn't dare to say another word, and waited for Xu Jing's reply.
"Alright, get up. I have no intention of being angry with you. ”
Xu Jing exhaled a breath of turbidity, suppressed the anger in his heart, and his tone eased a little.
Xu Jing knew that what Gonggong Cao said was not wrong.
These three continents have always been unruly, and such situations have been common since the beginning of the dynasty.
Emperor Daqian wanted to use his sword against these three continents several times, but he could only give up.
After all, the number of scholars in these three continents is more than the eleven continents.
Offending these three continents is tantamount to having a bad relationship with the great cadres and eighty percent of the scholars.
This is not a price that any emperor can afford.
Once the dynasty is extremely paralyzed, it will be followed by its demise.
Xu Jing also understands this truth, but he can let the land of the three continents be powerful, and Xu Jing can't tolerate it.
"What if I want to promote the rest of the regions?"
Xu Jing paced back and forth for a long time before he spoke.
"Your Majesty, do you mean to train another group of scholars in the land of the Three Continents?"
"I'm afraid it's extremely difficult! Most of these Confucian classics fell into the hands of the three schools. ”
"There are many unique and peerless works among them. Not to mention that everyone in these three continents now occupies a position in the literary world, and it is not easy to move them. ”
Even if Cao Gong doesn't know much and hyphenation, he knows these things well.
It's not that Gonggong Cao is ambitious, it's really difficult to do this kind of thing.
After all, in the past hundreds of years, the land of the three families has long held the identity of the leader of the Chinese people in their hands.
It's not something that Xu Jing can easily move.
"It's very feasible, I'll have to think about it."
Xu Jing sat down, raised his hand to signal that Cao Gong didn't have to continue, pinched his chin and thought slightly.
Cao Gongjian's appearance of Xu Jing also sighed slightly and stopped talking.
As long as Xu Jing doesn't use the knife against the land of the three continents, how to do the rest of the things, the land of the three continents probably won't dare to do anything.
In the final analysis, these three continents are still natural and the people of the Great Qian, although they do not look down on the imperial power, they do not dare to openly sing against the Emperor of the Great Qian.
The successive emperors of Daqian also relied on the indescribable tacit relationship between the two to continue to this day.
"By the way, today is the day of the last dynasty, you don't have to forget."
Gonggong Cao walked outside the Hall of Words and Politics, and then looked back and shouted at Xu Jing.
Xu Jing waved his hand, as if he already knew about it.
Gonggong Cao looked at Xu Jing's almost demonic appearance, shook his head helplessly, and whispered: "Your Majesty is good at everything, but he likes to embarrass himself." ”
"How can such a thing be done in one generation?"
