Li Yan, the emperor, because of his age and knowledge, does not hold real power now, but he has naturally read a lot of relevant information, and knows what the invasion of people from outside the world represents.

"What about those Daomen? What happened to them? Could it be that the whole army has been wiped out?" As soon as his thoughts turned, Li Yan noticed another aspect, and couldn't help asking, this question is also the most concerned thing for the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty now.

"This ...... There is no clear message. Geng Chi hesitated slightly and responded.

Behind him, Lu Yang arched his hand and said: "I waited for Japan to be close to Guanfeng Island, but then the change started, people from outside the sky came, and before and after the isolation, there were many foreign demon methods that forced me to wait for the return voyage, and then to investigate, it is already rare to hear from me." ”

It turned out that Geng Chi and Lu Yang, a few days ago, with the order of the court, and Lin Dingtian led a group of new soldiers to Guanfeng Island by boat, and then the disciples of the Mo family came, and the dark clouds and wild sand appeared one after another, covering the sea around the island, and people from the outside world could not contact and explore.

And because of the fear of being affected, Geng Chi and the others returned as soon as they were combined, intending to think about it in the long run.

It's just that this time, but I didn't wait for the turnaround, the sand and dust on the sea are always filled, and even form an obstacle, like an invisible wall, blocking people from the outside world from going deeper into that sea area.

After a long time, Geng Chi and the others also knew that it was not a matter, so after contacting the court with the method of the leyline, after a little discussion, they left Lin Dingtian to sit there, and Geng Chi and Lu Yang quickly returned to the capital and narrated what they had experienced.

After listening to the description of the two, the ministers in the hall were all frowning, and Xu Jin said simply: "The invasion of people from outside the world must not be taken lightly, it has not been long since the changes in the world have passed, and the people's hearts have not been completely settled. ”

Originally, it was inconvenient for this kind of matter to be discussed directly between the DPRK and China, but as the situation changes, all sides of the DPRK and China have already grasped the information, and if they deliberately block it, it will be self-defeating.

It was the fear of the change of rumors, beyond the grasp, after the discussion of the political affairs hall, it was decided to take the matter directly to the court, and at the same time send more spies, once it is determined that it is an invasion from outside the sky, then the top priority is to determine the situation, and then specify a response plan.

After Lu Yang's words fell, the civil and military officials in the court began to talk in a low voice, and for a while, the hall buzzed and whispered, and no one stopped it, and soon a royal historian came forward and said: "Since it is impossible to confirm what the situation is, then it is not good to really think that it is an invasion of people from outside the world, in case those Taoist sects are tricky, knowing that the imperial court sent people over, and deliberately made such a play, confusing us and others, wouldn't it be the Tao?"

"Yes, this gathering of the Daomen is very weird, you know, there are grievances between these gates, and it is difficult to sit together, how can this time just gather together, what kind of Pin Dan Conference is going to be held, and it is even more coincidental that there are people from outside the world, who appeared at this time and this place, and it happened to be seen by the people of our court, and the traces of the axe and chisel were too heavy. ”

"Yes, the emperor, all the rulers, this matter can't be rushed, it has to be considered in the long run, even if it is really a person from outside the sky, there is that gate in front, let them consume each other, so that when both sides lose, it is just the court to come forward to clean up the mess. ”

Listening to a famous minister, expressing his judgment and thoughts, Li Yan couldn't help nodding, feeling that what he said was very reasonable, and then his eyes fell, swept over the several governors in the front row, pondered for a while, and asked: "What do you have to say about the ministers?" Now that the situation is unclear, we are about to work together. ”

"Your Majesty, Liu Shilang's words are very reasonable, but now the situation is not obvious, so they are all speculation," the one who made the reply was Qiu Yan, who took the lead and walked out of the queue of ministers, "It is precisely because the news is not comprehensive enough, so many speculations at this time can get a favorable situation for themselves, but they also cannot ignore the unfavorable part." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at a few ministers who had spoken out, and waited until his gaze was withdrawn before continuing: "If it is really an invasion by people from outside the world, then the imperial court should not let it go, because Da Rui is orthodox in Middle-earth, and he is an example in the world, not only to suppress the society and lead the people, but also to control the people, and the gates of the great avenues are also the people, and they are also under control, how can they be allowed to fight hard?"

"Daomen are also people?" Li Yan sat on the dragon throne, chewing on this sentence, and a trace of thought came to his heart, "What does Qiu Zaizhi mean is to issue a decree to that Daomen?" Because it is in the court, it is naturally inconvenient to call "Master Qiu".

"That's right, the Daomen and the people outside the sky meet, the two sides have different positions, it is inevitable to fight each other, there will definitely be damage, no matter what kind of positioning the Daomen is for the imperial court, in the face of the people outside the sky, the position is the same, is to protect the land of Donghua, at this time, if you sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, the people outside the sky will be weakened, and the Daomen that can protect Donghua will also be injured, so you can't watch the fire from the other side, but should give some support, of course, these are based on the premise that Geng's secret envoy and Lu Shangshu's speculation is true。 ”

After Qiu Yan's words were finished, everyone in the court and China was immediately in an uproar.

At the time of the arrival, a military general shouted and asked: "Dingguohou, what do you mean, do you want the imperial court to support the Daomen? Isn't this putting the cart before the horse? Daomen was born, often occupying the mountains as kings, and most of them do not pay taxes or perform labor, but they are moths of the country's dynasty, relying on a bit of tricks, holding the people's thoughts hostage, we don't crusade against them, we have already given them face, how can we still support?"

"Not bad!" another Wenchen came out, "Not to mention anything else, these many Taoist sects often do not accept the king's Taoism, do not think about the way of the sages, the decrees of the imperial court are not binding on them, I am afraid that they really give support, they are also receiving, but they do not contribute, and even bring disaster to the east!

The words of the two also represent the consensus of the DPRK and China.

Li Yan is also worried: "The matter of this gate is really difficult to grasp, even if you have the intention to implement it according to Qiu Xiang's words, it is not easy to grasp." ”

"Your Majesty, ladies and gentlemen, this matter has made sense, but the communication between the imperial court and the Daomen is not enough, and the two sides have not reached a balance of interests. Qiu Yan was not affected by everyone's words, since he completely suppressed the family and monopolized the power, he had no constraints in the court, and now he simply talked about interests.

Qiu Yan said and said with a slight smile: "The ministers of the court, many of them are from families, and the family is counted as powerful and united, I am afraid that it is not inferior to the Daomen, but it is the same as the imperial court, and even interdependent. ”

"Religion...... Reform?"

As soon as these words were said, they brought a relatively unfamiliar word, but most of the ministers of the DPRK and China were well-informed, and after listening to them, they immediately understood that the "religion" represented the meaning of the sect and the great religion, and with the suffix of change and innovation, it was not difficult to understand the meaning inside.

But......

Li Yan frowned, and subconsciously asked: "How do you change ......?"

This is also the confusion of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, this foreign Dao Gate is not so easy to govern, otherwise, someone would have done it a long time ago.

"Everything needs an opportunity, and this incident is undoubtedly an opportunity," Qiu Yan narrowed his eyes, "Daomen and other sects are different from ordinary gangs, that is, they also have inheritance, each has its own thoughts, and it has an impact on the minds of the people who worship the disciples, so they must be restrained in this regard, but they cannot be completely cut off and given certain preferential treatment, but how to deal with it must be considered in the long run, which can be regarded as giving benefits, but relatively, this tax is not exempt from ......"

These words were not said by Qiu Yan on the spur of the moment, but after careful consideration.

In fact, Qiu Yan in the court at this time is not the real body, but from the portrait of You Drunk, which is a painting skin, but it is full of humane spirit and has a humanistic network link, which is soaked in humanity from the time of birth, and is able to stand in the court.

"Although what the Marquis of Dingguo said is good, I am afraid that it will not be implemented, after all, the Daomen may not buy it, let alone let them accept these conditions, this move will definitely not work!"

This is not an offense, on the surface, it is also a matter of facts, but Qiu Yan does not intend to discuss these things here, so he waved his hand and said: "Naturally, there are still debatable places inside, don't worry too much about these, the top priority at the moment is to summon those sect speakers to Beijing, and at the same time find out the situation on the island......"

Speaking of this, he arched his hand in the direction of the dragon chair and said, "Your Majesty, you might as well leave this matter to the minister." ”

In the midst of doubt, Li Yan still approved Qiu Yan's request, and everyone else knew that this matter was just a pretense, the emperor now has no real power, the power is all in the political hall, and the political hall is what Qiu Yan said, since he has an idea, how can others change it.

"It's up to the marquis of Dingguo, how to straighten things out. ”

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Lu Su, the newly appointed servant of the Ministry of Rites, arrived at home, and said to his son who asked him, that the matter of the court meeting had already spread.

His son Lu Xiang frowned and said: "However, this sect involves huge interests, if we let the Marquis of Dingguo do it, our family's industry can be ......" R1152
