A long history(22)
Guo Xiao didn't care about this, but said: "The old department of the East Gate is difficult to train, why don't Your Majesty make your own system at the North Gate and defend the Beijing Division." Zhao Heng frowned, it seemed that this was Kou Zhun's path. Zhao Heng said coldly: "You better not learn what he does." Guo Xiaoying said: "Maintaining the unity of the country, safeguarding the authority of the Son of Heaven, and maintaining the peace of the people is the ministry of the Quartet. I implore Your Majesty to change your policy to meet the situation. Zhao Heng sighed: "There is a folk saying called rubbing the nose on the face. In the past few decades, how could my Great Song Dynasty have killed a scholar in vain? To this day, you can still put the great interests of the country before the Son of Heaven, and I am helpless, this world is no longer mine. Is it in your eyes, as long as the Han people are in the world, whoever is the emperor is the same?" Guo Xiaosan bowed and said: "The way of loyalty to the monarch and patriotism is the bond under the interests. Only with strong spiritual conviction can a country have hope and be passed on. Isn't this Zhao clan at the feet of His Majesty? If it is used properly, His Majesty will be the Emperor of the Ages. Zhao Heng didn't want to worry about it anymore, he was terrified every time he saw this kind of courtier, and this momentum never stopped at all, and in the long run, the Zhao family was afraid that he would change his surname.
Tang Yu, the former master of the South Gate, knew his majesty's thoughts, and after three bows, he responded: "Although the country is peaceful today, there are too many people in the Great Song Dynasty who eat porridge, and this is where the fundamental interests lie. It is precisely because of this invisible sword that the inheritance of martial faith can survive under the Great Song Dynasty. It is difficult to eliminate these organizations in a short period of time, and the only way to control them is to control their genera and be clear about the enemy in front of them. Zhao Heng was silent for a moment, walked down the jade steps, glanced at everyone, and suddenly said: "The enemy in front of you! What do you know is the enemy in front of you? This world is far more complicated than the enemy in front of you. These people are not just martial arts sects, heretical forces are so simple. For hundreds of years, the Guanlong aristocracy, the Shandong Shi clan, the Li Tang new aristocracy, the eight masters of the Tang Dynasty, the four famous masters of the late Tang Dynasty, and even the rumored Seven Sects of Martial Arts, there is also a vertical and horizontal faction. The grievances and grievances in this are not something that can be cleared up in one or two generations! Those who have lost power are desperately trying to make a comeback, and those who are powerful are desperately holding their own bowl of porridge, and whoever gets involved will die, even if it is me, the son of heaven. Those whose family business is decaying, if a person can't quarrel, he will climb the dragon and the phoenix with this and that, and then merge it, and then realize the comeback, people's hearts are not satisfied and ugly. I really want to be a breath of fresh air in this, but this world will not give me a chance. You have always underestimated the four major families of Dongfang, Nangong, Ximen, and Beitang, yes, they are decaying, but they are still working hard, and whoever stands in his way will take someone's life. Even the imperial history who was far away in the capital dared to cause harm, just because the imperial history said a few words of advice from the Nangong family. Look, even above this court, there are the eyes and ears of the Nangong family, how rampant! Let's just say that the most powerful martial arts seven sects, the underworld sect was cultivated by Wu Zetian era to deal with Li Tang's new nobles. Xianzong is still the mantle of the Dugu family, a descendant of the Guanlong nobles during the Sui and Tang dynasties, and Qizong is the mantle of the Shandong Shi clan. It is that the vertical and horizontal factions are all related to the Ji family of the eight famous families. There is no need to guess these heretical forces, they should be the pawns of them to start anew and fight for interests. Of course, all of this I said lacks actual evidence, and can only be described as a conjecture. In fact, heretical forces are not terrible, at most they can bewitch people's hearts and gather a few people. As long as they are diligent in government and love the people, they will not be able to make any big waves. The most terrible thing is that the killer is the black list in the world, killing people can actually be called a means of making a living, and they even clearly mark the price, pay attention to credibility, and disobey people! Therefore, Zhongqing, I need you, outside the court, outside the army, you are also my secret army. After the innovation, the hearts of the people of the Sifang Gate are rising, which is the blessing of me and the secretaries, the blessing of the imperial court, and even the blessing of the people of the world. ”
Guo Xiao replied worriedly: "What Your Majesty said, the minister has never heard of it, and it is like thunder, so I beg Your Majesty to give me advice." Zhao Heng waved his hand and said, "How can you say it clearly for a while." I have sorted out the name and made a layout map, and you who are good at planning and doing business should not be rusty. I have full authority over your Guo Sect Master, and how to promote all this depends on you. You can be disloyal to me, but the Great Song Dynasty cannot be lost, and my Zhao family cannot be lost. The ministers of the Sifang Gate immediately thanked him again, and Zhao Heng let everyone get up.
Zhao Heng was a little tired, and sat down from the jade steps at the moment, Guo Xiao and the others were about to kneel, Zhao Heng waved his hand impatiently, signaling everyone to stand. Guo Xiao stepped forward and said: "The black list of killers in the world has become a pest crossing the street, and everyone shouts and beats it. It is rumored that there are still six families, and I don't know what Your Majesty has heard. Zhao Heng sorted out his emotions, tidied up his clothes, and said: "These six families are also a pot of porridge, the ability of the court is limited, it is impossible to know everything, and the rest depends on you." By the way, Liu Yan, one of the four swallows of the Tianshan Sect, is a descendant of the Qinghe Cui clan of the Shandong Shi clan. Why did I canonize her to the palace in the first place? because she was involved in a secret matter. With the cleaning of the yellow thief and five generations, the blood of these families flowed like a river. In order to maintain their wealth and nobility in troubled times, various ethnic groups have successively collected real money and silver, rare and exotic treasures to gather financial resources, and called it the same clan for all generations, hoping to make their own clan still able to rise again when they are weak. In the past 100 years, Zhou has found a place to be able to multiply and prosper economically, so much benefit my Great Song Dynasty can not lag behind. How?
Guo Xiao and the others were a little incredulous when they heard this, who could tell what happened a hundred years ago? Guo Xiao replied: "I don't know how Your Majesty concluded that the Liu family is a descendant of the Qinghe Cui family, and even these past events. Zhao Heng shook his head and said, "This is left before the death of the emperor, and there is no actual evidence. But you know the grotto in Fox Mountain, right? The Zongheng faction found this place to develop, such a huge grotto and countless jade stones, and the wealth is unimaginable. The war between the DPRK and the military seems to cost a lot, but people have money, and the gold for the funeral is proportioned by catties, and the imperial court cannot compare. Today, you see, this world is far more than what you see. Although the world can be ruled for a long time, without the courage to derail, the fate of a dynasty will be greatly reduced. The world only knows that there are battles between imperial power and relative power in all dynasties, but they do not know that imperial power, money power and military power are the same. The former Sui understood this truth and intended to centralize power, but they failed, and finally died in the intensification of the emperor's money power and then the world self-extricated. The Tang Dynasty was tossed by Wu Zetian, and there was no better way to deal with these three, so he dragged it until it collapsed, and then the country perished. Now that these three have come to an end in our Great Song Dynasty, my economic prosperity is in need of the help of Taichen like you. Although the country is fixed, the world is uneasy, and it is necessary to be prepared for danger in times of peace. ”
Guo Xiao and the others thought about it for a long time, sorted out their thoughts, and Fang Qibai poured out his mouth and shouted that he would do his best for His Majesty and die. Zhao Heng nodded with satisfaction and said, "You will rest in the palace for a few days first, and then come to see me when the ministers see the clouds, and I should talk with the secretaries at night." After that, Zhao Heng went by himself, and a group of people knelt down to see him off.
Later, a group of people were arranged to stay in another palace, and the palace people were hospitable and full of grace. The group of people did not go out since they entered the chamber, carefully observing the layout of the dark organization. The layout is very detailed, and there are many notes on the back page. Among them, the most obvious difference is that the imperial power and military power are not on the layout map, but there is more differentiation of money power. What His Majesty says today is unheard of by all of you, and even if you know something, you can't connect it. It can be said that His Majesty said the core of this world, and money is the core of this world. The so-called wealth of the Son of Heaven is just an illusion, and the money in the world is not limited to the emperor. The annotation of the so-called money power has enveloped the people of the world. No matter how the world changes, money will always circulate from person to person, and the total value of this world will only increase. The difficulty is that those who have money are not comparable to ordinary people, and even wiser than the imperial court. In the past, although the South Gate did not have a lot of contact with the martial arts sects, it still knew the schools on the rivers and lakes. In the eyes of the people in the rivers and lakes, the law is only a reference role, and the key lies in justice, and this justice cannot be accomplished illegally. When entering the rivers and lakes, first learn to respect and humility, then learn humility, then learn virtue, and finally power and ability. It is an invisible concept, which cannot be summarized in a coherent manner, and can only be called a concept, but it is indeed circulating. The laws of the imperial court and the concept of rivers and lakes constitute this country, and the final embodiment is still human nature. The Wulin League has made the best example for this Jianghu, and the concept of Jianghu and the laws of the imperial court are being combined.
On the layout map, the vertical and horizontal sect is the top layer, and below it is the underworld sect, then the immortal sect, and then the instrument sect, all of which are organizations with a long history. The rest, the Medicine Sect, the Hidden Sect, and the Blade Sect are all rising stars, and there are no deep-rooted families. But in the long run, I am afraid that the plans of the various sects to support and balance the inside and outside, it seems that everyone is on an equal footing, but there is more competition between each other. It's a bold attempt, if you don't work hard, you'll be suppressed by others, and only the opponent who is always there will keep you from letting up. Without the restrictions of the world, the sects followed suit and improved, and finally reached the current scale, which is incomparable to the imperial power. In appearance, the four great masters of the late Tang Dynasty have indeed declined, even when they are strong, they are not as good as the eight masters, but they have obtained a lot of money through smuggling with foreign domains, and they still have roots in other countries, and they are secretly following the path of the sects. In this way, not only the imperial court is facing a lot of trouble, but the same is true of the sects, but they have not yet broken out. As for the heretical forces, the layout map is more detailed, the organization that emerged from Yundu is not an organization with the Tianchi Society, it is actually an opponent and an ally, Tianfu, Tianhate, and Tianlong speculation are all related to it.
