My clone is on the other side of the starry sky

After autumn, many refugees who had fled outside came to Shangyang County one after another, and as time went by, there were more and more people.

This year, Yunzhou and even the three northern states of Daqian have suffered from varying degrees of drought, among which Yunzhou is the most serious. People whose harvest is not enough to survive this winter have begun to flee from famine on a large scale. Shangyang County, as the north-south hub of Yunzhou, Naturally, it has also become the main direction for the influx of refugees from the north.

Sanyang County, as the hub city of Shangyang County, naturally has the largest number of refugees.

Li Xingzhi had predicted this refugee wave and had been preparing for it, but when the real refugee wave came, he still couldn't take it into consideration.

"My subordinates are not worried about the refugees, but about the follow-up issues. After this disaster, there will be a great epidemic. This drought is more serious than imagined. According to the news from Shenfeng Hall, the court is now debating Taipei. Regarding the matter of the college president, although some tax reduction and exemption decrees have been issued in response to the drought, what the people need now is not tax reduction, but real food." Walking on the main street of Sanyang County, it used to be quite boring. The once clean streets were now filled with victims of the disaster, and the filth was so high that they looked more like a refugee camp. Li Xingzhi was a little worried about this.

He doesn't understand what the court is doing!

The people are starving to death. Now tell people that taxes will be reduced next year, and you will pay for it again.

How can this be done?

In order to survive, they can only sell their land and children. Not long after the Guiyi Sect's uprising was suppressed, they have forgotten why the Guiyi Sect's uprising was able to respond to hundreds of responses?

Whenever there is a major disaster, it is actually a carnival for the local wealthy families, who can buy the fields from the common people at low prices.

Ordinary people have no savings on hand and have little ability to withstand risks in disaster years, but rich households are different. They have a lot of property. This kind of drought is not a disaster for them, but they can take the opportunity to acquire high-quality assets at a low price, no matter where they are. On the one hand, everyone is legal and reasonable, but after so many major disasters, a behemoth emerged that controlled a large amount of local farmland and the livelihood of countless people.

This is also the reason why the Guiyi Sect had such great influence in the first place.

Less than a year has passed. Are those court officials really not afraid of something happening?

"Has there been any news from the Divine Wind Hall from Tiandu?" Lu Xuan pondered. This matter is not as simple as it seems.

The emperor got the Mountain and River Seal, even if it is fake, but it is no different from the real thing for the time being, and it should be able to last for a while. What the emperor has to do now is to collect his luck. This disaster is also a way for the emperor to collect his luck. A good opportunity, but the emperor's few innocuous decrees made Lu Xuan worried.

"The Shenfeng Hall was first built, and the structure is not perfect yet. The information that can be obtained at the moment is limited." Li Xingzhi looked at Lu Xuan: "Is the leader worried about the alliance between the imperial power and the nobles?"

"Yeah." Lu Xuan nodded.

The emperor's top priority now is to gather his luck, and to gather his luck, in theory, it must be based on the people, but in fact, with the current structure of the court, the emperor can't do anything without the help of the nobles.

So if you are the emperor, what you should do now is not to suppress the nobles, but to draw the nobles to your side. At the same time, competing for other mountain and river seals also requires the power of the nobles. After all, it will take time to train masters by yourself. The current situation is not Suitable.

Now that 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 it seems on the surface. The biggest problem is that there is no news. What is the emperor thinking now?

This secret knife of his is naturally valuable and can help the emperor remove some cancers that hinder the collection of luck.

But the premise of all this is that the mountain and river seal in the emperor's hand is real.

The fact is that the mountain and river seal in his hand is fake. If this is discovered by the emperor, then the emperor will not be able to suppress the nobles at will. Now that he is letting himself go, does he want to put his sword on the forefront? Then sacrifice yourself to win people's hearts!

Can it both weaken the noble clans and win over people's hearts?

Lu Xuan didn't know whether the emperor thought so, but if he changed places, Lu Xuan would do this.

In this way, if I touch the nobles without permission, it is very likely that it will become a sword, and it will also be a sacrificial sword.

"Change the plan. Don't touch those derived families of the noble clan for the time being." Lu Xuan looked at Li Xingzhidao. At this time, even if the development is slower, don't conflict with the noble clan casually. He is not a loyal minister, and the emperor's interests are never there. Within the scope of your own considerations.

"Yes!"

……

At the same time, Tiandu, the Imperial Palace, and the Yangxin Hall.

Ji Huan looked at the densely cracked mountain and river seals. The luck flowed through them, but they could only be washed a little. They could not be washed as clear as before, and most of the effect had been lost!

And in just this moment, there was another crack in the mountain and river seal!

Ji Huan's eyes flashed fiercely.

Losing the cleansed luck of mountains and rivers, the filthy feeling of the past has returned again. If the cleansed luck gives people the feeling of a clean spring, then the uncleaned luck is like a mudslide bathtub, especially now that people in the world are complaining. Under the circumstances, there are so many negative emotions mixed in this luck that it is difficult to meditate, let alone practice.

"Jing Zhong!" Putting away the mountain and river seal, Ji Huan shouted to the outside of the hall.

"Your Majesty~" Cao Jingzhong came in with a haggard look. He had recently felt that his luck, which had not been refined by Confucianism, had a great impact on him. He had been suffering from insomnia for almost half a month.

Obviously I haven't felt this way before, I don't know what happened.

"Go and invite Xie Yao, Cui Jinyuan, and Murong Cheng to come to Yangxin Hall. I have something to discuss with them!" Ji Huan said solemnly.

"My slave obeys the order~!" Cao Jingzhong agreed, bowed and retreated.

Ji Huan stood up and left the Yangxin Hall. He looked up at the sky where a lot of the city-protecting green energy had dissipated, and sighed in his heart: It seems that this Confucianism still needs to be used!

Xie Yao and the others quickly entered the palace, and when they saw Ji Huan, they quickly bowed down and said, "I see your Majesty!"

"Get up." Ji Huan waved his hand, signaling the three of them to get up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After thanking Xie Yao and the others, they all stood up.

When the monarch and his ministers looked at each other, they could see the haggard look on each other's faces.

"It seems that the three beloved princes have also been troubled by this bad luck during this period." Ji Huan sighed.

"Your Majesty, Taiyuan College is related to the fate of the country. I think it is best to establish the master of Taiyuan College as early as possible." Xie Yao sighed.

They didn't expect that Ji Huan would be struggling for so long. This time it seemed that he was determined to rectify the Taixuan Academy.

In fact, the three of them also turned to the Emperor's side in this matter. After all, Ji Huan vented his anger on them in the first place. The three major families had lost three fifth-grade warriors. This anger was vented by Ji Huan on their behalf.

"How come I don't know?" Ji Huan sighed: "But if the president of the Taiyuan Academy is as good at making opinions as Cheng Xi is related to the country, won't I and the Manchu ministers be controlled by the Taiyuan Academy in the future?"

"Your Majesty, I think we can select a highly respected person from the clan to be in charge of the Taiyuan Academy." Cui Jinyuan bowed.

This was their compromise. Now, except for the disciples of Taiyuan College, every one of the hundreds of officials in the court has been tortured by this turbid luck. Moreover, Taiyuan College does not talk about Cheng Xi's merits and demerits, but only the disciples of Taiyuan College are causing trouble. Now, it's a little unseemly.

The original intention this time was that each family wanted to compete for the position of the dean of the Taiyuan Academy. But now, they are afraid that the emperor will continue to be so stubborn. They do not want to see both parties lose. It is not possible for the clan to take the position of the dean of the Taiyuan Academy. It’s not impossible.

Firstly, there is a fifth-grade Confucian cultivator in the clan, that is, Ji Huan's ninth younger brother, Prince Rui Ji Ping. He has complied with Ji Huan's original request, and the emperor has reached a higher level. Secondly, although Taiyuan Academy is related to the fate of the country, But in fact, he didn't have much authority. If he gave it up to the imperial power, it would be regarded as repaying Ji Huan's revenge for them.

"That's fine." Ji Huan pondered for a moment and then nodded. This is the best solution at the moment. Everyone has their own steps: "We will decide this matter in the morning tomorrow morning."

"Your Majesty is wise!" The three of them breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

"In addition, do you have any countermeasures against the Qingxuan Dao Sect?" Ji Huan asked.

"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance and should not be taken lightly." Xie Yao heard the words and said quickly: "There is a severe drought in the north right now and the government is unstable. At this time, it is not appropriate to start a war!"

Ji Huan nodded and did not continue the topic: "Let's prepare for the hospital master."

Looking at the backs of the three people leaving, Ji Huan's eyes were gloomy. He could not wait to destroy the Taoist alliance and take back the Mountain and River Seal, but he also knew that the Mountain and River Seal was in the hands of others. Now that he did not have the Mountain and River Seal in his hand, he could only rely on Confucian Qingqi. It's okay to deal with ordinary fourth-grade people, but facing Dao Zong who holds the Mountain and River Seal, his magical power is useless against the opponent.

You have to find a way to weaken the opponent's Mountain and River Seal. How did Zhang Yuqing create the Mountain and River Seal?

Ji Huan frowned slightly as he recalled what happened in Dongzhou. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Jing Zhong."

"My servant is here." Cao Jingzhong bowed and said.

"How is the Guiyi Sect in Yunzhou doing now?" Ji Huan asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau has now been established. Last month, some property was sent to His Majesty's private treasury. According to reports, the other party has begun to set up in Xiuwu County." Cao Jingzhong bowed.

"Not enough!" Ji Huan shook his head and said, "Tell Lu Xuan that the burden can be bigger and don't worry about Jiang Song."

"Yes~"

"In addition, give this to him!" After thinking about it, Ji Huan stretched out his hand, and an ancient scroll appeared in Ji Huan's hand. He handed it to Cao Jingzhong and said, "Go see him in person and tell him that, except for the official seal, other If you need anything, you can ask.”

Since the Mountain and River Seal in the hands of the Dao League cannot be moved for the time being, Ji Huan wants to have his own Mountain and River Seal, so he can only find a way from other aspects. Wouldn't it be a good idea for the Guiyi Sect's remnant party to start another uprising?

"My servant obeys the order~" Cao Jingzhong agreed. Seeing that Ji Huan had no other instructions, he bowed and retreated.

Ji Huan looked at the city-protecting green energy in the sky and sighed in his heart: But we can't let the other party make too much trouble this time. Daqian's luck can no longer withstand the second world-wide uprising. .

Yunzhou...just right!
