Great Wei scholar

Otherwise, heaven and earth will not tolerate it.

Neither do they.

This means, inexplicably threatening...

Chapter 1: Everything is revealed!The intention of King Huaining, the intention of the Empress, and the intention of Xu Qingxiao!he came!

Great Wei Imperial Palace.

Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The empress was sitting on the dragon chair, and in front of her was an old man.

Zhao Waner is not here.

This old man has white hair and is wearing black plain clothes, but his eyes are not muddy, but extremely clear.

He is the empress' master, the former grand tutor, Li Guangxiao, but now he has resigned and is traveling abroad, and today the empress summoned him to discuss some matters.

"Teacher, King Huaining has already sent the unicorn soldier talisman, but everything went too smoothly. I always feel that something is wrong."

The empress' voice sounded, she looked at the old man in front of her, and said so.

Li Guangxiao was slightly silent, and after a while, he spoke slowly.

"I thought that His Majesty would need to pay a certain price to get the Qilin soldier talisman, but I never expected that Prince Huaining would be so happy."

"This matter, in the eyes of the world, Prince Huaining seems to be doing it for his own son, but he is definitely not such a family-oriented person."

"One unicorn soldier talisman is better than ten of his sons to him, and now the vassal kings from all over the world are playing it, which is obviously related to Prince Huaining."

"If there is no accident, they will move in a few years."

Li Guangxiao replied calmly, but this one moved, which meant a lot.

The Empress's expression changed slightly, she looked at her teacher, and couldn't help but speak.

"King Huaining handed over the military power to me, can I still move?"

she asked.

"The Qilin soldier talisman is in His Majesty's hands, and the Azure Dragon soldier talisman is also in His Majesty's hands, but the three soldier talismans of White Tiger, Xuanwu, and Suzaku are still outside."

"The feudal lords from all over the world also support their own soldiers, so he can move, but I suspect that if Prince Huaining dares to hand over the Qilin soldier talisman to His Majesty, he must have bigger plans."

"Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to hand over the soldier talisman."

Li Guangxiao said so.

"The teacher thinks, how long is the fastest, he will move?"

the Empress asked.

Li Guangxiao was silent. After thinking for a long time, he slowly opened his mouth.

"Over the years, I have traveled around and found that the vassal kings in various places are becoming more and more powerful. Especially after His Majesty ascended the throne, the vassal kings cut down their troops on the surface, but secretly they are constantly recruiting troops."

"That's why I think it's three years sooner or five years later."

"And if there is a god-given opportunity, I'm afraid it will move at any time."

Li Guangxiao made a judgment, within three to five years, if there is any problem with Da Wei, it is estimated that he will move immediately.

"Three years?"

The Empress frowned.

Whether three years is long or short, maybe in the blink of an eye, it has already arrived.

"Then I would like to ask the teacher, what should I do?"

The Empress continued to ask.

The latter shook his head and let out a long sigh.

"Today, the situation in Great Wei is the most difficult since the founding of the country. The seven Northern Expeditions of the late emperors drained the treasury of Great Wei. Those vassal kings also took the opportunity to amass countless fortunes. Now the treasury is almost empty."

"And a thousand wastes are waiting to be revived, and the courts are shouting to continue the Northern Expedition, but once the Northern Expedition occurs, civil strife will inevitably manifest."

"At that time, the world will be devastated again, and the rise and fall will cause the people to suffer. The old minister has been thinking about it for these years, but the old minister is already old, and he really can't think of a way, but he can point out three clear ways for His Majesty."

Li Guangxiao looked very serious.

He traveled around, not just traveling in the clouds, but to see how the current mountains and rivers of Dawei are.

No matter how good the book says, it is better to see it for yourself.

No matter how miserable the scroll says, it is better to see it for yourself.

He saw it, and he couldn't think of a solution, but he could point out three clear ways for the empress, so that the empress could understand where Wei's predicament is now.

"Teacher, please advise, I, I will listen with all my ears."

The Empress said seriously.

"The root cause of today's Great Wei is nothing more than three."

"Firstly, the people's livelihood, the late emperor's seven Northern Expeditions, the treasury was empty, and the people did not say that they were hungry, but at least there were still many people who were still hungry. It is serious and needs to be resolved as soon as possible. When the people can eat enough, even if someone rebels, it will not arouse public resentment and anger, and even the people will rebel, and they don’t want to live in war and starvation again.”

Li Guangxiao pointed out that the first point is also an extremely critical point, which is the most important thing.

It is difficult to prevent people from rebelling, but as long as the public opinion remains unchanged and the hearts of the people are not disturbed, it will be difficult for these rebels to succeed. Even if the people live a good life, they will stop it themselves, because they no longer want wars, Never want to go hungry again.

This is a very simple truth, but for Da Wei today, it is an extremely difficult thing.

The empress listened carefully.

"Secondly, the chaos of the vassal kings, the vassal kings of various places are now ready to move, all because the late emperor's enthronement was not righteous, and at the same time, he privately did not agree with His Majesty's orthodoxy, the chaos of the vassal kings, even if it does not appear in the past ten years, sooner or later they will show their fangs , and even once the Great Wei encounters any crisis, they will take advantage of it, so the chaos of the vassal kings needs to be resolved."

"However, there is no need to worry for the time being. After all, these vassal kings are also fighting internally, but sooner or later they will discuss a result."

Li Guangxiao continued.

This is the second curse. There are too many vassal kings in the world. The reason is not caused by Emperor Wu, but by two emperors. Emperor Wenzhi chose Emperor Wu as emperor, but worried that his other sons would not accept it, and eventually forced him to become a vassal. After Emperor Wu took office, he did not choose to suppress these vassals, because he wanted to make a northern expedition, and the country must be stable, so instead, these vassals became stronger and had more power.

If the Northern Expedition is successful, these feudal lords would not dare to make mistakes, and would even honestly hand over the military talismans, but the further the Northern Expedition went, the worse it would be. Even if Emperor Wu did not go to the Northern Expedition after the third time, that would be okay, but the second Four times, the fifth time, the sixth time, and the seventh Northern Expedition are completely meaningless.

When Emperor Wu returned to the court, he killed many courtiers indiscriminately. He didn't have the heart to manage the vassal king, which led to the rapid rise of the vassal king's power, and he did have the power to rebel.

Now that the empress has ascended the throne, they are even more dissatisfied. They were once dissatisfied why Emperor Wu ascended the throne. If it wasn't for the shame of Jingcheng, they would have rebelled a long time ago. But now that a woman is the emperor, are these feudal lords convinced?

On the surface, he is convinced, but behind the scenes?Can't wait to replace it.

It's just that there are also struggles among the vassal kings, so they also have to balance themselves. Just whoever becomes the emperor will have to fight for several years, and finally determine the candidate, and then rebel.

Otherwise, these vassal kings would start rebelling as soon as Emperor Wu died.

The empress knew about the rebellion of feudal kings, but it was very difficult to eradicate it, or to say suppress it.

So the empress did not speak, but continued to listen to her teacher's third question.

"Thirdly, the controversy over the Northern Expedition, the impact of the Northern Expedition is too great. Once His Majesty speaks out, whether the Northern Expedition is confirmed or rejected, it is extremely dangerous for Wei. Be patient, wait for the failure of the Northern Expedition, and rebel directly. If you have no patience, you will rebel that day, I am afraid they have written the crusade against Zhaowen, but if there is no Northern Expedition, everyone in the court will be in danger. These vassals may be the first It is possible to conspire in time, win over military officers from the DPRK and China, and take the capital directly."

This is Li Guangxiao's third question.

"Moreover, the old minister believes that the Northern Expedition may be the opportunity that the vassals are waiting for, so His Majesty, no matter what, don't touch this matter, but it is impossible not to touch it at all. Sometimes it is mentioned, and sometimes it is avoided, so as to stabilize the vassals everywhere. .”

Li Guangxiao proposed an idea.

In fact, the three questions he said, all in one sentence, is that someone wants to rebel.

The reason for these people's rebellion is one thing, a woman cannot be the emperor, and your father's reputation is not right, the throne belongs to them, so they want to rebel.

But the vassals face three problems. Who will be the first emperor?When will the second rebel?How can the third be a better rebel.

So once the feudal king solves these three problems, he will directly rebel without hesitation.

As for who will be the emperor, I think there will be a plan, and sooner or later a decision will be made. As for when to rebel, it depends on when you make a mistake, just like the Northern Expedition. It's a godsend.

If you agree to the Northern Expedition, then go ahead and say that the people are too hungry to eat, and you still want to fight?You don't deserve to be emperor at all, here I come.

If you don’t agree with the Northern Expedition, then plot against these military officers. If the emperor doesn’t go to the Northern Expedition, your military officers must be out of luck. You might as well rely on me. When the time comes, I will be the emperor and I will use you a lot. How about it?

The former is more harmful, but the latter cannot be ignored.

And how to rebel better is also very simple. When more and more people in the Great Wei are hungry, then this is the best time.

Great Wei right now.

It seems stable, but there are endless internal troubles.

Once the army is raised, there will be countless casualties at that time. I don't know how many innocent people will be implicated. At that time, it will not be as simple as a million, but tens of millions, or even tens of millions.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the lives of the people have been ruined.

If it is a foreign war, it is for the benefit, everything is easy to talk about, but what is the internal struggle?It is to kill each other.

"I see, thank you teacher for your guidance."

The Empress nodded. She understood the current situation. The Northern Expedition was something that the feudal lords from all over the world liked.

But it has to be mentioned, and it must be mentioned from time to time to delay the time of the vassal kings and make them think that the Northern Expedition is about to be decided.

In this way, they are willing to wait until the national power is withdrawn, or wait for the military attache to complain. No matter what the result is, it will be beneficial to them.

At this moment, Li Guangxiao's voice continued to sound.

"Your Majesty, the old minister just came to the capital today, and he heard that there is a great talent in the court, named Xu Qingxiao, Xu Shouren, what does your Majesty think of this person?"

Li Guangxiao asked slowly.

When Xu Qingxiao was mentioned, the Empress's eyes showed a look of approval. She would not hide too much emotion when facing her teacher.

"This person is a great talent."

"If you use literary talent, it will last forever."

The Empress opened her mouth slowly, using two words to describe Xu Qingxiao.

In terms of literary talent, Xu Qingxiao is absolutely right when he said that he is an eternal talent.

"Is it an eternal genius?"

"It's great that Wei Xinchao has ushered in such a great talent."

Li Guangxiao smiled, but soon he continued to speak.

"Beheading the county king in anger, Xu Qingxiao really has the blood of a military strategist, but he is too impulsive. Fortunately, it does not affect the overall situation. Now that the vassal kings from all over the country are reporting, how does His Majesty plan to deal with it?"

Li Guangxiao continued to ask.

"Xu Qingxiao's talent can be reused."

"He defended justice for the millions of innocent people in the Pingqiu Mansion for the people of the world, and he took on a big responsibility, but he was a little impulsive."

"Or, in the eyes of the common people, I am a bit ruthless. In order to gain military power, I ignore the lives and deaths of millions of innocent people. But I will never forget this, but what I need to know more is to fight for the people of the present."

"Xu Qingxiao was so angry that he beheaded the king of the county. I don't blame him, but I hope he can understand some truths. Whether it's civil and military in the Manchu Dynasty or the vassal princes of various places, let him know that there are no friends in the court. ruthless!"

The empress opened her mouth and spoke her heart out.

Xu Qingxiao angrily beheaded the county king, she was really happy, she also wanted to kill the Huaiping county king, to uphold justice for the people, but sometimes it can be solved in another way.

If the Qilin soldier talisman is not obtained, the danger of the Great Wei will be even greater. Once Prince Huaining breaks his face and directly rebels, how many people will die by then?

The dead are dead, they can be remembered and never forgotten, and justice will come sooner or later.

But the living people are even more important, just like the Northern Expedition, when the barbarians from the north were slaughtered in Jingcheng, thousands of people were turned into blood, and how many women were humiliated?How many people died unexpectedly?

hate it?The whole country hates it.

But if you really want to take revenge regardless of the cost, in the end it will be the rise and fall of the common people.

So the empress told Xu Qingxiao to stop here, not because she didn't want to help Xu Qingxiao, but because she helped Xu Qingxiao, so that Xu Qingxiao would stop here, otherwise, if she really didn't help, Xu Qingxiao would have died that day.

Detaining the prison is an obvious thing. He made a mistake and must be punished. Otherwise, it is not acceptable for others to make mistakes, but he is fine for making mistakes. It is simply not justified.

After hearing what the empress said, Li Guangxiao immediately understood what the empress was thinking. She valued Xu Qingxiao very much, otherwise she would not have praised her so much, nor would she have been so patient.

"The vassal king's memorials are piled up like snowflakes. How does His Majesty plan to deal with them?"

Li Guangxiao asked.

"Squeeze first, Zhen, there will be a decision at that time."
