My clone is on the other side of the starry sky

"Rebellion, rebellion!" In the Imperial Palace, Yangxin Hall, Ji Gong threw the memorial in his hand to the ground and cursed angrily: "Then what kind of ecstasy drug did Lu Xuan give to the Mu family? The general soldier given by the imperial court No, why not be the commander-in-chief of the Guiyi Sect! You are working against the imperial court, but you are willing to be a dog for a butcher who slaughters them wantonly, what is wrong with the people in this world!?"

Cao Jingzhong picked up the memorial from the ground and took a look at it. He frowned slightly and said, "Your Majesty, Mu Feixue is a fifth-grade master, and the Mu family is also a prominent family in Yanzhou. Logically speaking, even if it is forced by the power of the Guiyi Sect, it should not be like this. Sincerely, this is a complete offense to the Yanzhou nobles."

"Offended?" Ji Gong pointed to the memorial and said, "The Yanzhou nobles were almost wiped out by the Na Mu family. Do you still need to offend?"

What Ji Gong was angry about was not the Mu family's massacre of nobles. Ever since he came to power these days, he had found that Xie Yao and Cui Jinyuan were gradually delegating power to him, and seemed to have the intention of returning power. The more he came into contact with these, the more he understood the importance of the nobles to the imperial power. For the imperial court, the gentry no longer assisted the imperial court in managing the world, but were sucking the blood of the imperial court. Ji Gong wished that all the gentry in the world would be slaughtered.

What he was really angry about was that when Yanzhou's noble clan was wiped out, the Guiyi Sect used Yunzhou's tactics again. Yanzhou was almost absorbed by the Guiyi Sect in just a few months. Divide large tracts of land on the territory and even appoint officials.

Not only did the dog become disobedient, but it also started biting its owner.

"Pass my decree, order Yin Zheng and Chi En to quickly mobilize troops and work together to destroy the Guiyi Sect!" Ji Gong turned his head and looked at Cao Jingzhong.

The land of the two states is now actually in the hands of the Guiyi Sect. Although it was not very obedient before, it is still nominally the territory of the imperial court.

Of course, the most important thing is that the scholars in Yunzhou and Yanzhou have almost disappeared after the Guiyi Sect massacred them. If the imperial court can hold these two states in its hands, the current predicament will undoubtedly be alleviated a lot.

What Ji Gong really wants is Yunzhou under Lu Xuan's management and Yanzhou, which is no longer restricted by the nobles. Although these two states are not wealthy places, they can at least give the current court some confidence to fight against those who are gradually disobedient. Local officials speak.

"Your Majesty, the frontier army must not be moved lightly!" Cao Jingzhong's expression changed and he quickly advised that the main responsibility of the frontier army is to resist border troubles. If Dakang takes this opportunity to send troops south to attack Dagan, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for Dagan. Adding insult to injury.

"The land of the two states has nothing to do with me!" Ji Gong suddenly turned around, looked at Cao Jingzhong with a solemn look and said: "The supplies and supplies for the border army are all in Lu Xuan's mind. You tell me, at this time, I can't do anything." When can we move?”

"This slave deserves to die!" Cao Jingzhong knelt down quickly and said.

"Go quickly to deliver the order and order the military department to cooperate. Tianzhou will send troops north at any time to join forces with the border troops to completely wipe out the remnants of the Guiyi Sect!" Ji Gong snorted coldly.

"Yes."

Ji Gong's decree was sent to the Taiwei first. Although Xie Yao gradually delegated power and returned the power to the emperor, he had not completely stepped down after all. The edict sent to the Ministry of War had to go through the Taiwei's mansion first. General Xie Yao All the generals under his command were summoned to discuss the matter.

"Your Majesty intends to call back the border troops to attack the Guiyi Sect. Do you think this is feasible?" Xie Yao handed the edict to everyone for circulation.

"It should be suppressed, but it's just a matter of Gui Yijiao. There's no need to mobilize the Imperial Imperial Guards and the border troops to join forces at the same time, right?" Xie Hui frowned.

The incident in Yanzhou has been abuzz in Tiandu in the past few months. Almost all the scholars in Tiandu are scolding the Mu family for being traitors to the country and being traitors to the country. The whole court is denouncing the Guiyi Sect. Ji Gong’s edict this time is probably No one will object, and the nobles in the world will even fully cooperate.

Because no matter what the Guiyi Sect or the Mu family did, this time they have touched the bottom line of the gentry, and that’s it for the Guiyi Sect. The Mu family themselves are members of the gentry, but now they join with outsiders to oppress the gentry. This is what they want Intolerable.

It is a bit exaggerated to say that the gentry in the world are one family, but the gentry network will not let go of any corner. The gentry in Yanzhou are more or less related to the gentry from all over the world. Now the entire Yanzhou is massacring the gentry, and it is At this sensitive time, naturally we cannot tolerate this happening.

"It is said that Lu Xuan is already a master of cave viewing realm, and Mu Feixue is also newly promoted to the fifth level." Xie Hao sighed: "This Lu Xuan is quite a talent."

"He is indeed a talented person. In seven years, he managed the Guiyi Sect, which was almost wiped out at first, and secretly defected to the imperial court. The late emperor didn't know why, but he let Yunzhou go to Lu Xuan, but no matter what, he did They are all good, but it is a pity that he is too young after all." Xie Yao nodded and said: "If he was not so radical, he might have more achievements in the future."

In fact, many people can see clearly what the disease is in this world, but no one will directly kill him. That is a bad rule. Lu Xuan is bad because he is young and does not understand the rules. This is not only external, but also internal. , slaughtering the nobles wantonly, what will the new nobles under him think in the future? The hearts of the people are determined to disperse.

With that said, Xie Yao looked at Lu Xuan who was sitting at the bottom, smiled and said: "Fengxian, why don't you speak?"

Lu Xuan stood up after hearing this and said: "Father-in-law, the general is wondering if this can be an opportunity to ask for some benefits from the nobles in various states? After all, wars require money. Let's stand at the front and charge into the battle. It's not too much to get some benefits, right?"

Xie Yao couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and Xie Hui smiled and said: "If nature wants it, the nobles from various states cannot just sit back and watch this matter, but there is no need for the other Fengxian brothers to say it clearly."

Some things are tacit rules that everyone just takes and is not suitable to be spoken out.

Xie Yun sat aside and glanced at Fengxian with disdain. He was a vulgar person even though he was highly cultivated. He was not worthy of being on the stage.

"In that case, it's a matter of how to fight." Lu Xuan waved his hand and took out a map of Yunzhou and said: "Or what do I want? It seems that the little emperor wants to capture Yunzhou to relieve the pressure of the current lack of financial resources on the imperial court. , as far as the general knows, Yunzhou has been very prosperous in recent years."

"First of all, please don't be rude to His Majesty." Xie Yao looked solemn and gave Lu Xuan a reproachful look.

"Yes." Lu Xuan nodded.

In the eyes of the Xie family, Lu Fengxian is considered half one of their own, and he doesn't care too much about it. Nowadays, the decline of Daqian has become the consensus of most people, and the respect for the emperor of Daqian is also declining. The monks in Tiandu have the deepest understanding. The power of Tiandu's rules is weakening year by year. The sky above their heads is more than twice as thin as it was seven years ago.

"Fengxian is good at fighting. I wonder what Fengxian thinks?" Xie Yao looked at Lu Xuan and said with a smile.

Lu Xuan pointed at the map and said: "Both Yunzhou and Yanzhou are surrounded by cloud rivers. For monks, crossing the river is not difficult, but for ordinary soldiers, if they want to cross the cloud river, now is the best time. , the river is frozen, and the army can cross the river directly without a ferry, but they need to choose a place where the water flow is gentle on weekdays. For example, here in Linhe County, it is the turning point of the Yun River. The water flow is usually fast. Even if it is frozen, the ice is not strong, so we take Qingmen. , Yancheng County are the best, and the speed is also fast."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up." Xie Yun shook his head and said: "Now it will take two months at the fastest to issue documents, raise food and grass, and mobilize troops. By then the ice and snow will melt, and we will not be able to catch up."

How can the army go out so fast?

"That will be much slower. I suggest you start raising ferries immediately and take the Longxing County area. The terrain here is flat and the water flow is relatively gentle. It is suitable for crossing the river, but you must be prepared for water attacks from the other side." Lu Xuan pointed at the map and said.

"How can a water attack be so easy?" Xie Yun glanced at the map and sneered: "At least we need to store water in advance. The water level will drop significantly by then, and we can see through it at a glance."

Xie Yao looked at the map and nodded: "Fengxian's words are also for the sake of safety. I will follow Fengxian's words and prepare the ferry first, Hui'er."

"Yes." Xie Hui stood up and said.

"You personally go to each state to deliver documents. This time we send troops, there must be no shortage of military supplies. The court can't afford the money now. If they want to fight this war, they will get the money."

"Yes."

This time the decree was implemented very quickly. From the time the emperor issued the edict to the Ministry of War responding to the edict, it was finalized in just half a day. The news quickly spread throughout the capital. Countless scholars rejoiced. The imperial court finally did the right thing.

In Tiandu Inn, two Confucian scholars, an old man and a young man, sat opposite each other in a separate private room. Listening to the Confucian scholars talking loudly outside, the old man looked at the calm-looking young man in front of him and said, "You don't seem to be worried at all?"

"Teacher, do you think it is useful for disciples to worry?" the young man asked, holding a tea cup.

"It's really of no practical use." The old man shook his head and said, "How do you think your brother would deal with this?"

The young man heard the words and shook his head: "I don't know, brother's ideas have always been wild and unconstrained, and it is difficult for ordinary people to guess. Compared with these, the disciple is more curious about why the teacher came to Tiandu in response to the imperial edict. Haven't you decided not to be involved in worldly affairs?"

"It's simple to say, but in this world, there are always countless things that restrain you and prevent you from being independent." The old man shook his head and sighed: "I am a member of Hongru Academy, and the kindness I have given you must be repaid."

"My disciple stopped talking about the rise and fall of the dynasty. Instead, he said that at present, the emperor is young. Although he is in charge of the government, his methods are too immature. Today's government situation cannot be solved by appointing wise men." The young man thought: "I remember that my brother once I have said that to control a force, you don’t actually need to be very capable. Financial power, employment rights, and military power. If you have two of them, you can be stable. If you have one, you can defend yourself. But now it seems that you have the power of employment, but In fact, the power of employing people in Daqian has always been in the hands of the scholars, and it has never changed. There is no other authority besides this. However, the prestige of the imperial court is declining day by day, and the signs of national subjugation have appeared. The teacher comes to Tiandu at this time, and it is extremely inappropriate. wisdom."

"Maybe." The old man sighed, picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "But you have to give it a try. Although the words your brother taught you are vulgar, they are indeed facts. But there are many things in this world. It’s time to do something you know you can’t do. If everyone did the right thing, the world would be too boring.”
