On the way back to the palace,

Yang Dong was a little worried.

Although Hong Laoliu has always liked to talk about it, this time's words made Yang Dong fall into deep thought.

What exactly is the so-called human catastrophe, at least there are no signs of it now.

However, the situation in Da Zhou is not optimistic, and we have to find a way to put things right as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Yang Dong's eyes gradually became firm.

Compared with those mysterious and mysterious things, the troubles in front of you are the ones that you should solve quickly.

In recent years, the Great Zhou Dynasty has been plagued for many years, and the people are struggling to make a living. For the sake of today, the most important thing to do is to let the people recuperate.

Even if one day, the catastrophe comes. People can store more food in their homes, and the probability of survival is higher.

Thinking of this, his gaze was as firm as steel.

……

The Royal Palace, the Study,

I don't know when the study became a place for the empress to rest.

Whatever she did, she liked to stay in her study, even more so than her bedroom.

Yang Dong deliberately ignored Hong Laoliu's background, and only said that he was a martial arts master. Then he told the empress everything that happened outside Qunfang Building, and the empress was brilliant.

"This kind of talent, you have to find a way to win it over."

The empress said, her phoenix eyes looked at Yang Dong, and said with some expectation:

"Xiao Dongzi, do you have a way to do this?"

As soon as Yang Dong heard that the empress wanted to recruit Hong Lao Liu, he immediately shook his head and said:

"Your Majesty, this kind of hidden master, although he seems to be easy to speak, it is extremely difficult to get him to be loyal."

Hearing this, a look of loss flashed in the empress's eyes.

Seeing this, Yang Dong only felt a little distressed. He pondered for a moment, then continued:

"Although Hong Lao has always been reluctant to get involved in court grievances, when I first went to Luozhou, I still had some friendship with Hong Lao. If he really gets into trouble in the future, we can ask him to help. ”

Hearing this, the empress's eyes finally showed a little more brilliance again. She bowed her head slightly and said:

"That's fine, most of the masters who want to come to this kind of world are hidden. It's a great luck to be able to do it once. ”

"That's right, little Dongzi. What are your thoughts on the palace dilemma? ”

Yourong, Yourong, I've been back for a few days, and you finally remembered the predicament of the palace. If you don't mention it again, the master will think that you are going to give up.

Yang Dong coughed lightly and continued:

"Your Majesty, according to the current situation, it may not be easy for us to recapture the capital from Lin Chunqiu's old dog in the short term."

"Now the Longwu Army and the Huwei Army are in Luozhou, and some of Lin Luo's diehards have sneaked back to the capital in secret. plus the city defense army, as well as the shadows laid by Lin Chunqiu. Even if the brave army makes a move, I'm afraid it's not completely sure. ”

"What's more...... With Lin Laogou's character, if he is forced too hard, he may take the entire people of the capital as hostages. ”

The empress's face was majestic and she bowed slightly.

"What you say is reasonable, but now that the palace is besieged, internal and external news has been cut off. Under such circumstances, the rest of the states of the Great Zhou Dynasty may not be dissenting. If there is a response, the country of the Great Zhou Dynasty will be completely ruined. ”

Yang Dong nodded solemnly, and what he said was true, if this matter dragged on for too long, it would be detrimental to the overall situation.

But thinking about it from another angle, Lin Chunqiu did this, which also gave the master a chance.

Da Zhou has been suffering for a long time, and if you want to change the status quo, you must take strong medicine. And the labor pain caused by the fierce medicine, many times even the empress can't bear it.

But now, with Lin Chunqiu's move, those who are disobedient have already chosen to rebel. In this way, the space for maneuvering is much larger.

But that's all for later, so let's not mention it for now. The top priority is to find a way to relieve the siege of the palace.

Yang Dong pondered for a moment, and slowly spoke:

"In fact, the siege of the palace is not difficult to solve. As long as the operation is done properly, a mere Lin Chunqiu can't make any waves. ”

Hearing this, a wry smile flashed on the empress's majestic face.

"Little Dongzi, I know that you are very witty. But Lin Chunqiu has been up and down in the sea for decades, and his wisdom must not be underestimated. ”

"This palace is in trouble, this old dog doesn't know how long it has been laid out, and if you want to break this game, I'm afraid it's difficult!"

The empress said, sighing slightly.

"To be honest, I have also made some efforts these days, and even thought about winning over Lin Laogou's subordinates. However...... Lin Chunqiu, an old dog, is very strict under his rule, and has attracted many fox friends and dog friends. ”

"Now that I have neither the silver nor the army, how easy is it to break the situation?"

When Yang Dong heard this, he smiled faintly.

"Actually, Your Majesty, it is not difficult to break the siege of the palace. It's hard to just change your mind. ”

"In fact, there is a force that has been ignored by Your Majesty all along, Your Majesty knows which force it is?"

"Who else can it be, naturally it is the businessmen you often talk about."

The empress's eyes flashed with a faint look of disappointment. She looked at Yang Dong seriously and said:

"Shang Jia does have great value, but Xiao Dongzi, have you ever thought about a question?"

"Why did the emperors of all dynasties treat merchants extremely harshly, and even degrade their status to the point where they can't be put on the stage?"

"Actually...... This is due to the weakness of the merchants themselves. These are the people who know how to be flexible best. But sometimes, it is precisely because they are too flexible that they lose their integrity. ”

"Now that the siege of the palace is over, the situation between me and the old dog of Nalin, do you really think that the merchants can't see it clearly?"

"It is perfectly normal for businessmen to be weak and compromising. Because it's determined by their own position. In the words of our hometown, this is their class nature. Merchants can be used, but they cannot be relied upon. ”

Yang Dong bowed slightly, not surprised by the empress's remarks.

I saw him slowly raise his head, and said calmly:

"But the power I want to talk about today does not come from the merchants, but from the people."

"The People ???"

When the empress heard this, a look of surprise appeared on her cheeks.

"How is this possible with the unclothed people?"

"They have no weapons in their hands and no armor on their bodies. The character is so cowardly, how can they be able to defeat Lin Laogou's army? ”

I saw Yang Dong smile faintly and continued:

"Your Majesty, have you ever wondered where these so-called army soldiers come from?"

Speaking of this, Yang Dong's cheeks were filled with a look of confidence.

"If Your Majesty trusts me, I will take care of this matter. In a month at most, I will be able to relieve the siege of this palace! ”
