Therefore, after receiving the instruction to delay a little, when the soldiers who came to suppress the White Lotus Sect rushed to Xiping Mansion, the White Lotus Sect and those who were willing to go with the White Lotus Sect ran away early.

There were only some people left in Xiping Mansion who did not want to leave their hometowns, ordinary people with family businesses and a few officials and gentry.

and large tracts of unowned land, mansions and shops.

There is no way, those local tyrants and inferior gentry, corrupt officials and corrupt officials and the like have basically been killed by Qu Jie in cooperation with the White Lotus Sect, and the number of officials and gentry who do not deserve to die is too small, so they are called a few officials and gentry.

And the people died.

Land, mansions and shops are not ownerless.

At this time, Wan Pinghou, who was responsible for leading the troops to suppress the rebels of the White Lotus Sect, was actually a little at a loss, so he could only send his soldiers to maintain order in the mansion first, take over the ownerless land shops in the mansion, and then take the greed himself.

Then hurry back to Beijing to make a report.

Wait for the next notification indication above.

After all, the above only sent him to Xiping Mansion to suppress the White Lotus Sect, and now that the White Lotus Sect has gone to other places, it is not good for him to chase after him without a will.

Naturally, I can only report it first and wait for the next news.

This time and again, it will be delayed for half a month.

However, Wanping Hou is not in a hurry at all, after all, he doesn't have to fight for half a month, and he can take the opportunity to do more with those local ownerless assets and collect them into his own hands.

Don't be too pretty, what's the hurry.

And half a month later, Qu Jie and the others had already swept the nearby Xijin Mansion and changed places again.

When Wanping Hou received the will and rushed over.

is still empty, can only continue to be excited in his heart, the surface of grief to take over the government, ownerless land and real estate, and by the way, greed for a little bit more.

Although theoretically speaking, he has the power to act cheaply when he sends troops outside, and now it is reasonable to directly hunt down and kill the White Lotus Sect that has gone to other county capitals, and he does not have to worry about being impeached, but because those ownerless lands and real estate are too easy to be greedy, and those soldiers under him can be more or less greedy.

Therefore, the team led by Wanping Hou suddenly became extremely well-behaved, and even befriended the rules to the point of being rigid and picking out words, and always insisted on returning to everything, and resolutely did not move without the instructions from above.

How to describe it?

It is not easy for civil officials to pick bones in eggs.

The direct result of this situation is that Qu Jie and the others almost swept all the way, and they basically didn't have to worry about encountering any large-scale suppression, at most, they needed to deal with some local armed forces in the county government, as well as some local tyrants, and the private soldiers or family members of the local vassal kings.

In addition, they also deliberately avoided the county government, where a large number of soldiers were stationed nearby, and it was easy to dispatch them.

The whole sweeping process should not be too smooth.

Wan Pinghou and the others have been lagging behind a little bit, and they have been waiting for instructions from above, so that those civil officials who are already very rigid are chasing the White Lotus Sect in anger.

And kept chasing, but never caught up.

Although there were no military achievements in the process, and even the imperial court had begun to deduct their food and military salaries, they were still happy, after all, they had no casualties, and they had earned so much land, real estate and small farms along the way, where could they find such a good thing?

If you really wipe out the White Lotus Sect.

How can they continue to do this?

But they are not in a hurry at all, and they are even quite happy, how can those officials and gentry whose entire families have been wiped out or most of them have been wiped out, and many assets have been divided or cannot be recovered, as well as those officials and gentry who are already in some danger in their hometowns and may be attacked by the White Lotus Sect at any time, how can they not be in a hurry?

Some of them are already in a hurry.

The impeachment proceedings were piled up in the Qianqing Palace.

To their surprise, Emperor Xuanwu didn't seem to be in a hurry, neither angry, nor did he send additional soldiers, let alone urge to punish Marquis Wanping.

The capital, Qi house.

That is, the mansion of the current cabinet chief assistant Qi Lao.

Officials born in Jiangnan Mansion, Huaiyang Mansion, Nanshang Mansion and other prefectures and counties, as well as Qi Lao's protégé disciples, specially found an opportunity to take a break and secretly went to Qi Mansion one after another, and discussed what to do while holding a meeting.

After all, the White Lotus Sect was about to plague them.

Of course, they are not in any danger in the capital, and they don't have to worry about being harmed by the White Lotus Sect for the time being, but most of their assets and relatives are still in their hometown, and their ancestral graves are also in their hometown.

For this reason, those elders in the clan are the same generation.

I don't know how many letters I've sent.

"Elder Qi, what do you think of Your Majesty, I can understand that Wanping Hou is doing this, after all, it is to be greedy for more land and assets, but Your Majesty is so laissez-faire, if you don't hurry up to exterminate the White Lotus Sect, where is the majesty of the imperial court, and where is Your Majesty's face?"

"What is Your Majesty's idea, and what is Wanpinghou's idea, I don't care, what I care about is that if this continues, the White Lotus Sect will harm my hometown, and it will also harm the hometown of all of us present, although the White Lotus Sect does not burn the ancestral hall or dig the ancestral grave, but if the family property is robbed, the clansmen will be killed, and it is even possible to kill them cleanly.

What's the difference between that and burning ancestral halls and digging ancestral graves?

It's better to burn the ancestral hall and dig the ancestral grave!

After all, it can be rebuilt after burning and digging, but if the people die, or die, when will they recover?"

"Elder Qi, we're all waiting for you to come up with an idea!"

"If this continues, we must not be drowned by the elders of the clan who spit on the stars, and we will be drowned by the spittle stars of the clansmen, saying that we will not save us when we see death, and the whole clan will be the official of Beijing, but the clansmen will not be able to protect them."

"Your Majesty must be given an idea, this matter can't be delayed any longer, those White Lotus Sect members don't talk about martial virtues!"

Qi Lao didn't say a word, not even a word, and the officials below were very anxious one by one, and talked about their worries.

Urging Qi Lao to come up with an idea.

It's really burning eyebrows, and I have to hurry.

After a long time, the noise of everyone calmed down after Qi Lao knocked lightly on the table, and Qi Qi looked at him.

"The crux of the problem now is not what kind of attitude Wanping Hou has, but what is the attitude of His Majesty, if His Majesty is resolute, no matter how bold Wanping Hou is, he will not dare to bully the king and resist the decree for a little profit.

I'm a little worried that His Majesty has tasted the sweetness.

is deliberately letting the White Lotus Sect go!"

As soon as Qi Lao's words came out, some of the officials present were stunned on the spot, some officials were thoughtful, and some officials were confused and at a loss, so they were embarrassed to ask:

"How so? What sweetness can Your Majesty taste?"

"Forget it, the vassal king has always been a thorn in the heart of His Majesty and even the first emperor, the first emperor, but in addition to the good handling of the direct rebellion, the rest can only be given more other favors while cutting off the military power.

Otherwise, they will make trouble and cry Qiankun Mausoleum.

Some vassal kings had more land than the Imperial Village.

lived more luxuriously than the emperor.

The White Lotus Sect has only been tossing for less than half a year, and it has already exterminated six vassal kings, and there are countless other county kings and the like, based on the current amount, the Fengyin spent by the clan next year can save at least one-third.

In addition, the land that was vacated after the death of the feudal king.

Not all of them are basically included in the Imperial Village.

There are still a lot of ownerless land, which have been directly distributed to the people who have little or no land, and it seems that those county governments have been scourged, but in fact, it is just to restore those county governments to the original appearance of the founding of the country.

That's probably a good thing today.

After all, most of the remaining people already have land, and as long as there are no accidents, they should still be able to maintain stability and create another prosperous era in the next thirty or fifty years."

The officials present were not stupid, some directions just didn't expect it, and at this time, they were dialed by Qi Lao so little, and they immediately had smart ones who understood Xuanwu

Emperor's thoughts.

In addition to natural disasters and foreign enemies, the most important factor in the demise of the dynasty is land annexation, as long as the problem of land annexation can be solved, it can continue a wave of national fortune, the operation of the White Lotus Sect, for the officials and gentry whose actual interests have been damaged, naturally hated to the bone, but if from the national level, from the perspective of long-term and suppression of land annexation, it is actually beneficial to the country.

After all, when the population was small, the land was taken away from the officials and gentry and distributed to the people, which was equivalent to a redistribution of land similar to that in the last years of the dynasty.

Although Emperor Xuanwu is not very old, he is not stupid, and he can even be described as very smart, he may be a little angry at first, but when his brain turns.

After discovering the benefits of this situation.

Naturally, they are willing to cooperate.

Hearing this, the few officials who hadn't figured it out before finally figured it out now, and then muttered with a blue face How can this be, how can the emperor partner with the White Lotus Sect to deal with these officials and gentry?

"Why did Your Majesty rebel?"

"Elder Qi, I have a bold guess, Princess Jiahe and His Majesty will not be a cooperative relationship, if the White Lotus Sect has the ability to dig so many underground passages underground and steal the assets of so many officials and nobles, then Your Majesty should also have the ability, this is terrible!"

"I even doubt that the White Lotus Sect has also been corrupted and controlled by others, and the current White Lotus Sect will not be equivalent to Jinyiwei, or Dongchang or something!"

"Your Majesty, do you regard us as enemies?"

"Elder Qi, this is too terrible, what should we do, can we just sit and wait for death?"

"That's enough, give me a moment of silence, you just think about some thoughts, don't say it, if you completely tear your face, it won't do us any good.

So, let's continue to play tomorrow.

I'll contact Xungui again.

And the clan side.

I just hope that Your Majesty will not be too blind, just see the benefits, not see the disadvantages, you all go back and carefully ponder how to do it tomorrow, and analyze the harm of the White Lotus Sect.

Even if it's dead.

We must also quickly exterminate the White Lotus Sect."

Qi Lao patted the table, and waited for the room to be quiet, and then talked about his detailed plan, which is actually not a plan, it is nothing more than more contact with manpower to achieve his own goals in a form similar to forcing the palace.

No way, Emperor Xuanwu has gone too far.

It's almost going to drive them to a dead end.

If it doesn't succeed this time, then changing the emperor is actually not an unacceptable thing.

I'm going to be forced to die, what else don't you dare to do?

In the afternoon of the same day, Qi Lao, the capital of the cabinet, sent people to contact the Imperial Doctor, the Imperial Historian, and many nobles and clans whose interests had been damaged or were about to be damaged, and told them their speculations, and successfully reached a cooperation agreement.

Then, the next day, at the Great Pilgrimage.

The hundred officials and nobles and the clan, once again, a very rare concerted effort, began to impeach, as well as to make demands.

The main targets of impeachment are Wanping Hou and the local government Yin, impeaching them for their corpses and incompetence, of course, the content of the impeachment is not actually important, the important thing is how to completely solve the problem of the White Lotus Sect later. Look at the book

"Your Majesty, the minister suggests that we must send a team that can act randomly and move with the times, no matter what matters are, they are only responsible for exterminating the White Lotus Sect."

"The minister suggests that if Your Majesty really can't exterminate the White Lotus Sect, then why don't you give power to the local government Yin Haoqiang and let them organize troops to fight against them, lest they be loyal to the country for decades, but the country can't shelter them, be killed by thieves, and can't take revenge."

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

When the ministers' words were quite fierce, and they put forward some suggestions that were either pertinent or that Emperor Xuanwu would be angry and bloody just by listening to them, those clan members were not idle.

They all cried directly above the court.

The main thing is to cry, when their father or grandfather held the military power, they guarded the frontier, not to mention the White Lotus Sect, even the southern barbarians and the northern Rong did not dare to violate the border in the slightest, when the first emperor and the first emperor took away their military power, they were still happy, and felt that they could finally enjoy peace after that, but they did not expect that the country is now so weak that even they, the princes and kings of the royal family, can save their lives at any time, and the grief in their hearts is really difficult to suppress.

That's why I cried in the court.

I don't know what kind of face I will face my ancestors and ancestors after death.

Anyway, it's how disgusting Emperor Xuanwu came.

As for Emperor Xuanwu Bendi, of course, his face turned purple with anger, and in addition to refuting two sentences in the process, delegating power to Fu Yin and local heroes, that is not a matter that will only exist if the country is about to die in the past dynasties and form a separation, it is really difficult to refute anything except what your intentions are.

In the end, this court meeting naturally broke up unhappily.

However, the hundred officials and nobles and those royal clans refused to end here, after all, their purpose has not been achieved, the emperor can drag it, but they can't drag it, so the next trick is of course the crying temple of the crying temple, kneeling the palace of the government, and the death of the death.

There are also Taixue students, Guozijian students.

Came to the gate of the palace to sit in protest.

In addition, the propaganda and public opinion of the people have not let go, although they are not too torn their faces, but they are already openly and secretly, accusing Emperor Xuanwu of being mediocre and incompetent.

In short, at this time, the emperor and the hundred officials and noble clans are no longer a cooperative relationship, but a needle-to-needle.

Even the Queen Mother, who has always been indifferent.

They were all alarmed by this.
