Chapter 64: Mountains and Rivers...... Shattered
After the autumn, many refugees from outside came to Shangyang County one after another, and with the passage of time, there were more and more postures.
This year, Yunzhou and even the entire three northern prefectures of Daqian have suffered from drought of varying degrees, among which Yunzhou is the most serious, and the people whose harvest is not enough to survive this winter have begun to flee on a large scale, and Shangyang County, as the hub of the north and south of Yunzhou, has naturally become the main direction of the influx of refugees from the north.
As the hub city of Shangyang County, Sanyang County naturally has the most refugees.
Li Xingzhi has predicted this refugee influx and has been preparing for it, but when the real refugee influx comes, he still can't take it into account.
"The subordinates are not worried about the refugees, but the follow-up problems, after this catastrophe, there will be a big epidemic, this drought is more serious than imagined, according to the news from the kamikaze, the imperial court is now arguing about the matter of the master of the Tai Academy, although some tax reductions and exemptions have been issued for this drought, but what the people need now is not tax reduction, but real food." Walking on the main street of Sanyang County, the streets that used to be quite clean in the past have now been full of disaster victims, and the filth is sky-high, more like a refugee camp, Li Xingzhi is a little worried about this.
He didn't understand what the court was doing!
The people are dying of hunger, and now tell people about the tax cut next year, and you can top it again.
How does this top?
In order to survive, he can only sell his land, sell his children, and the uprising of the Unification Church has only been suppressed for a short time, and he has forgotten why the Reunification uprising can be responded to in one hundred calls?
Every time there is a catastrophe, in fact, it is a carnival for the local wealthy families, who can buy the fields in the hands of the people at a low price.
Ordinary people have no savings in hand, and they have little ability to resist risks in disaster years, but the rich are different, their family property is quite rich, this drought is not a disaster for them, but they can take the opportunity to buy high-quality assets cheaply, no matter in any aspect, people are legal and reasonable, but after such a few disasters, a behemoth that controls a large amount of local arable land and the livelihood of hundreds of people has appeared.
And the reason why the Unification Church was able to have so much influence in the first place is also here.
It's only been less than a year, and those court officials are really not afraid of accidents?
"Is there any news from the Kamikaze Hall from Tiandu?" Lu Xuan groaned, this matter is not as simple as it seems.
The emperor got the seal of mountains and rivers, even if it is fake, but it is no different from the real one for the time being, it should be able to support it for a while, what the emperor has to do now is to collect luck, this catastrophe is also a good opportunity for the emperor to collect luck, but the emperor's several painless decrees make Lu Xuan worried.
"When the Kamikaze Hall was first built, the structure was not too perfect, and the information that could be heard at the moment was limited." Li Xingzhi looked at Lu Xuan: "Is the sect leader worried, the imperial power and the scholar clan are united?" ”
"Hmm." Lu Xuan nodded.
The emperor's top priority now is to collect his luck, and to collect his luck, theoretically, it is people-oriented, but in fact, with the current structure of the imperial court, without the help of the scholars, the emperor can do nothing.
So if you are the emperor, what you should do now is not to suppress the Shi clan, but to pull the Shi clan to your side, and at the same time compete for other mountains and rivers seals, you also need the strength of the Shi clan, after all, if you cultivate a master by yourself, it will take time, and the current situation is not suitable.
Now there is no action, it can only be said that there is a problem within the imperial court, it is by no means as simple as the Tai Academy on the surface, and the biggest problem is that there is no news coming over, what is the emperor's idea now?
His secret knife is naturally valuable, and it can help the emperor eliminate some tumors that hinder the collection of luck.
But the premise of all this is that the mountain and river seals in the emperor's hands are real.
And the fact is that the mountain and river seal in his hand is fake, if this point is discovered by the emperor, then the emperor will not be able to suppress the scholars at will, and now he is free to let himself go, do you want to put your own knife on the cusp and then sacrifice yourself to win people's hearts!
Can it not only weaken the scholars, but also win people's hearts?
Whether the emperor thinks so, Lu Xuan doesn't know, but if he changes places, Lu Xuan will do this.
In this way, if he tampered with the warriors, it was likely that he would really become a knife, and it would be a knife that was used for sacrifice.
"Change the plan, don't move those derivative families of the scholar clan for the time being." Lu Xuan looked at Li Xingzhi, at this time, even if the development is slow, don't just clash with the scholars, he is not a loyal minister, and the interests of the emperor are never within his consideration.
"Yes!"
……
At the same time, the heavenly capital, the imperial palace, and the palace of nourishing the heart.
Ji Huan looked at the mountains and rivers that were densely covered with cracks, and the luck flowed through them, and he could only wash some of them, and he couldn't wash them as clear as before, and most of the effect had been lost!
And in just a moment, there is one more crack on the mountain and river print!
Ji Huan's eyes flashed with fierce light.
If it is said that the luck after the washing gives people the feeling of a clear spring to cleanse the body, then the luck that has not been washed is a mudslide bathtub, especially if the people are complaining today, this luck is mixed with too many negative emotions, not to mention cultivation, it is difficult to meditate.
"Loyalty!" Putting away the mountain and river seals, Ji Huan shouted outside the hall.
"Your Majesty~" Cao Jingzhong came in with a haggard face, he also recently felt that he had not been trained by Confucianism, and the impact on him was not small, and he had been insomnia for almost half a month.
I didn't feel this way before, so I don't know what happened.
"Go and invite Xie Yao, Cui Jinyuan, and Murong Cheng to come to the Heart Cultivation Palace, I have something to discuss with them!" Ji Huan said in a deep voice.
"The slave obeys the order~!" Cao Jingzhong agreed, bowed and retreated.
Ji Huan stood up, walked out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, looked up at the green aura that had dispersed a lot in the sky, and sighed in his heart: It seems that this Confucianism still has to be used!
Xie Yao and the others quickly entered the palace, and after seeing Ji Huan, they hurriedly bowed: "Your Majesty, the minister!" ”
"Get up." Ji Huan waved his hand and motioned for the three of them to get up.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After Xie Yao and the three of them thanked each other, they all got up.
The monarchs and ministers looked at each other, and they could see the haggard on each other's faces.
"It seems that the three Aiqing have also been troubled by this luck for a long time." Ji Huan sighed.
"Your Majesty, the Tai Academy is related to the fortune of the country, and the minister thinks that it is better for the master of the Tai Academy to be established early." Xie Yao sighed.
They didn't expect Ji Huan to toss for so long, and this time it seems that he is determined to rectify the Tai Academy.
In fact, the three of them are also on the side of the Son of Heaven in this matter, after all, Ji Huan was angry with them at the beginning, and the three major families lost three fifth-grade martial artists, and this breath was helped by Ji Huan.
"How do I not know?" Ji Huan sighed and said: "But the master of the Tai Academy, it is related to the society, if they are all like Cheng Xi and make their own opinions, will I and the Manchu Dynasty ministers be subject to the Tai Academy in the future?" ”
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he can choose a highly respected person from the clan to take charge of the Tai Academy." Cui Jinyuan bowed and said.
This is their compromise, now in addition to the disciples of the Tai Academy, one of the hundred officials in this court is counted as one, and they are all tossed by this turbid luck, and the Tai Academy does not say how Cheng Xi has done it, just saying that the disciples of the Tai Academy have made trouble until now, which is a little undignified.
The original intention this time was just that each family wanted to fight for the position of the head of the Tai Academy, but until now, they are also afraid that the emperor will continue to fight like this, and losing both sides is not what they want to see, and it is not impossible for the clan to take the position of the head of the Tai Academy.
First, there are five Confucian cultivators in the clan, that is, Ji Huan's ninth brother Rui Wang Ji Ping, who also responded to Ji Huan's original request, and the emperor also has a step, and secondly, although Tai Academy is related to the fortune of the country, it is actually not too powerful, and if it is given to the imperial power, it should be returned to Ji Huan to avenge them.
"It's fine." Ji Huan pondered for a moment and nodded and said, this is the best solution at the moment, everyone has steps: "Tomorrow morning, this matter will be decided." ”
"Your Majesty is wise!" The three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"In addition, do you have any countermeasures to discuss the matter of the Qingxuan Dao Sect?" Ji Huan asked.
"Your Majesty, this matter is very important, and you should not be hasty." Hearing this, Xie Yao hurriedly said: "At present, there is a great drought in the north and the situation is unstable, at this time, it is not appropriate to make a big move!" ”
Ji Huan nodded, and did not continue the topic: "Go and prepare for the matter of the courtyard master." ”
Looking at the back of the three of them leaving, Ji Huan's eyes were gloomy, he couldn't wait to destroy the Dao Alliance and recapture the mountain and river seal, but he also knew that the mountain and river seal was in the hands of others, and now he had no mountain and river seal in his hand.
If you have to find a way to weaken the power of the other party's mountain and river seal, how did Zhang Yuqing get the mountain and river seal?
Ji Huan recalled the incident in Dongzhou at the beginning, frowned slightly, and said after thinking for a while: "Respectful." ”
"The slave is here." Cao Jingzhong bowed and said.
"What happened to the Unification Sect in Yunzhou now?" Ji Huan asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, now that the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau has been established, and some property was sent last month, which has been sent to His Majesty's private treasury, according to the informant, the other party has begun to lay out in Xiuwu County." Cao Jingzhong bowed and said.
"Not enough!" Ji Huan shook his head and said, "Tell that Lu Xuan that the burden can be bigger, don't worry about Jiang Song." ”
"Yes~"
"Plus, give this to him!" After thinking about it, Ji Huan stretched out his hand, and an ancient scroll appeared in Ji Huan's hand, handed it to Cao Jingzhong and said, "You go to see him in person and tell him that in addition to the official seal, you can mention anything else you need." ”
Since the mountain and river seal in the hands of the Dao League cannot be moved for the time being, Ji Huan wants to belong to his own mountain and river seal, so he can only think of a way from other aspects, isn't it just right for the remnants of the Guiyi Sect to set off another uprising?
"Slave obeys the order~" Cao Jingzhong agreed, and seeing that Ji Huan had no other orders, he bowed and retreated.
Ji Huan looked at the green qi in the sky, and sighed in his heart: But this time you can't let the other party make too much trouble, Daqian's luck can no longer withstand the second all-wide uprising.
Yunzhou ...... Just right!
