Chapter 1394: Go (1)
They appointed their trusted experts to gather the refugees, Rob the merchants, and occupy their resources to stabilize the refugees …
Emperor Yongxing’s head was buzzing. He felt that the knowledge he had cultivated in the past 30 years had been overturned by this secret letter, and he had an absurd and unreal feeling.
After he finished reading the memorial, his first thought was:Nonsense!
In Emperor Yongxing’s knowledge, the Squires, scholars, and prestigious families were an important part of the Imperial court and a part of maintaining the rule of the dynasty.
If one made an enemy of these classes, then it would be difficult to carry out the orders of the Imperial court. In history, there were too many dynasties and emperors that had been overthrown because they had offended these classes.
Emperor Yongxing also studied history. His understanding of politics could be summed up in two sentences:
He constantly compromised, roped in a group of people, and suppressed another group of people!
The so-called winning over a group of people and suppressing a group of people in the Imperial court was the support of more parties.
When it came to ruling a country, they would rope in the powerful families, Squires, nobles, scholars, and so on, and suppress the millions of common people in the world.
However, there was a sentence in Xu Erlang’s Secret letter that deeply shocked Emperor Yongxing.
“Those who hold the land in their hands will become allies in prosperous times and abandoned in troubled times.”
Surrounding this sentence, Xu Erlang gave a long explanation. Compared to the countless victims of the disaster, the class that controlled the dynasty’s land, resources, and wealth was only a very small part of the people.
In times of chaos, by sacrificing this small number of people, they could gain the support of the general public, and the Imperial power would stand.
When the old class was destroyed, there would be new people entering this class and replacing them.
Emperor Yongxing felt that this was also to win over a group of people and suppress a group of people.
It was in line with his political philosophy.
Most importantly, this matter was not the doing of the Imperial court. It was the doing of the vagrants and bandits, and had nothing to do with the imperial family or the Imperial court.
“Wishing that there will be great talents in the new year and that they can be important!”
Emperor Yongxing sighed with emotion.
He read the secret letter repeatedly, sometimes excited, sometimes worried, sometimes gritting his teeth, sometimes shaking his head. He hesitated for a long time.
Hu … Finally, he let out a long breath and made up his mind.
“Bring me the brazier!”
Emperor Yongxing ordered.
Zhao xuanzhen immediately brought over a Brazier.
Emperor Yongxing threw the secret letter into the brazier. The flame rose, licked the paper, and burned the letter that would definitely cause an uproar in the court if it was spread.
He didn’t plan to use this strategy.
To be more precise, he didn’t want to use the third plan.
The reason was simple. It was too risky.
If this matter were to be leaked out, he would definitely lose his throne.
He was not like his father, who had a deep foundation and could firmly suppress the court. He was only a new king who had been in power for less than two months.
No, even a powerful Emperor like his father would not dare to do this.
Assigning a confidant to do this was actually equivalent to giving out a handle.
A handle that could cause him to be consigned to eternal damnation.
Not to mention his confidants, even his birth mother and sister, Emperor Yongxing would not dare to give them such a handle.
Who could guarantee that a trusted aide would always be loyal?
Inside the stupa Pagoda.
Xu Qi ‘an, who had already arrived in Yuzhou and was about to drive the stupa to the southern border, suddenly felt his heart palpitate. He turned to Miao Youfang and said, ”
“Come and help me for a while.”
He was sitting at a small table, playing chess with mu nanzhi. The black and white pieces were hard to distinguish and the situation was ever-changing. For the time being, no one could do anything to the other.
The old monk tower spirit was stunned. He didn’t expect these two to have such extraordinary chess skills.
Miao Youfang stopped practicing and wiped his face with the sweat towel hanging around his neck. He said, ”
“I don’t know how to play Go!”
Xu Qi ‘an insisted, ”
Nan Zhi will teach you. It’s not difficult to play chess. You have to believe in your own wisdom.
Miao you Fang went over and sat in Xu Qi ‘an’s seat. He looked at the densely packed chessboard and was suddenly shocked.
The chess pieces almost covered the entire board, but the winner had not been decided yet.
One could imagine the chess skills of Xu Qi ‘an and his wife.
Mu nanzhi glanced at him and said, ”
“You take the black, I’ll take the White.”
“I don’t know how to play.” Miao Youfang scratched his head.
“It’s very simple. You win if you line up the five pieces.” Mu Nanxi said.
“What is this?”
“This is go.” Mu nanzhi said in all seriousness.
On the other side, Xu Qi ‘an walked to the window and took out a fragment of the Book of the Netherworld. He saw huaiqing’s letter.
[ one: Emperor Yongxing did not adopt Xu Erlang’s strategy. Today, he sent someone to pass a message to him:[ my beloved Minister’s plan is brilliant, but I don’t think it’s necessary. Let’s forget about it and not mention it again! ]
Emperor Yongxing was not bold enough … Xu Qi ‘an shook his head in disappointment.
[ 2: what? We’ve spent so much energy to think of a brilliant plan for him, but he doesn’t use it? [ PEI, Emperor Yongxing is the same as his father, both of them are useless emperors. ]
The young woman was furious.
[ 4: actually, his choice is understandable. Not everyone has the courage to do so. If you were in his shoes, you would understand his difficulties. As a new emperor, he would definitely prioritize stability.
[ there are too many uncertainties and too many risks in adopting Erlang’s plan. It may not completely solve the problem of the refugees. However, once he was exposed, he would suffer the backlash of all the scholars and physicians.
[ seven: even if he doesn’t accept it, it doesn’t hinder our own actions. [ it’s just that the effect is greatly reduced. After all, the Heaven and Earth Society has limited manpower. ]
The Saint expressed his opinion.
Eh, little brother, you’re very active. Have you forgotten how you died a while ago? The corners of Xu Qi ‘an’s mouth lifted.
[ two: Xu Qi ‘an, do you have any other strategies to deal with the refugees? ]
Li Miaozhen actually wanted to ask huaiqing, but she wasn’t familiar with him, so she could only let Xu Qi ‘an act as a tool.
Was there any other way?
The previous plan was to intensify the class conflicts and sacrifice a part of the class to protect the overall situation and imperial power. If there were any other plans, it would be to divert the conflict. Fighting a foreign war was the best way, but …
The method of using Foreign Wars to transfer contradictions was only suitable for social contradictions that had not been completely intensified.
With Da Feng’s current situation, if he were to provoke others and start a country war, wouldn’t he be thinking that the country’s collapse was not fast enough?
If this move was effective, Chong Zhen would be overjoyed … He cursed in his heart.
