Great Wei scholar

The latter nodded, which was understood.

"How long will it take before you can really make a move."

Another voice sounded, he doesn't care about these tricks, and he doesn't care about how, he just wants to know when he can really make a move.

"It can be as fast as three years, and as slow as five years."

"What we lack now is not only opportunities, but also money. The money we have collected these years is not enough. We need more. The rebellion is too involved."

"Soldiers and horses go first before mobilizing food and grass. Once there is a rebellion, it is absolutely impossible to attack quickly. Wei has two first-rank suppressions, and the training of the army has to wait for time. If conditions permit, they can take action within three years."

"If it doesn't work in three years, it will definitely work in five years. Otherwise, once we make a move, we won't be able to take it down quickly, and we can kill ourselves and die."

Prince Huaining said so.

He needs silver, and it is a lot of silver. If he really wants to rebel, silver is the most important. Now he needs silver to raise soldiers, and even more silver to fight wars. Even after seizing the throne, he needs silver.

Three to five years, don't be in a hurry, not at all.

For things like rebellion, the more detailed the better, the more perfect the better, and the more secure the better, otherwise if it fails, I don't know how many people will be killed.

"Okay, then wait for five years, and these five years will suck up Wei's money."

The three reached a consensus, then left separately and disappeared from the secret passage.

And at the same time.

In the Great Wei prison.

As I said before, any cell must be dirty and messy, even if it is the Great Wei Tian Prison, it is also dirty and messy. The only difference is that the cell is big enough, and the guards are strict, and the infrastructure is much better.

But Xu Qingxiao's cell looked extremely clean, and even had new bedding on the floor.

"Master Xu, this is the food my mother asked me to bring you."

"Now the people outside are writing petitions for you. You are dedicated to the people. The people know it and will not forget you, Mr. Xu. I reckon that His Majesty will not really punish you."

The prison guard from the sky prison came over and brought plates of dishes for Xu Qingxiao to eat.

"Yes, yes, Master Xu, you do things for the people, and the people will never forget your kindness."

"The king of Huaiping County should be killed and damned. Your lord did nothing wrong."

"Master Xu, my mother knew that you were imprisoned in heaven. She went back last night and gave me a lecture. She said that you must not be wronged. She said that if you were wronged in the slightest, she would not recognize me. Master Xu , you turned around and went out, but you have to tell my mother, lest my mother say anything about me."

"Your mother is okay, my father just slapped me twice, saying that I must have not taken good care of Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu, ask yourself, when you came, I got rid of the weeds on the ground as soon as possible, and deliberately After brushing the land twice, you have to explain it to my father later."

In the dungeon, several prison guards stood in front of Xu Qingxiao and said to each other.

Since Xu Qingxiao entered the sky prison yesterday, they were in a hurry to do things, such as cleaning up the sanitation and cleaning up the smell, for fear that Xu Qingxiao would not live comfortably.

Xu Qingxiao spoke out for the common people, angrily beheaded the county king, and won the hearts of the people. It is true that they are on duty, but they also have parents and kind hearts, so they naturally respect Xu Qingxiao.

After returning home, their parents also warned them immediately that they must not let Xu Qingxiao suffer a little bit, and even the neighbors came over and said that if they dared to make Xu Qingxiao suffer a little bit.

They all supported the severance of the father-son relationship, which made them very depressed. Some of them were miserable, and they were slapped a few times. Being a father doesn't listen to you so much, anyway, get a beating first, and then reason.

"You guys are really polite."

Xu Qingxiao was also a little bit dumbfounded, how could he be in jail like this, he was clearly on vacation, if he was a little more open, he really came here to experience life.

"It's not polite, it's sincere, Mr. Xu, don't think we are just being polite, we really admire you, admire you, angrily kill the king of the county, who has this courage?"

"There is no such thing as you in the civil and military affairs of the whole dynasty. I have heard that when the eight Beijing soldiers heard about this, they all said that you are a real man. Even after hearing about this, many people in the military camp said that you can be a good man." General."

"Yes, Mr. Xu, your prestige is greater than that of the prime minister. You are a truly upright and good official, and the common people see it in their eyes."

Everyone spoke and praised Xu Qingxiao one after another, and Xu Qingxiao also thanked them all.

But soon, everyone dispersed. After all, they were on errands, and it was enough to say a few extra words, and they couldn't keep talking, they still had to work.

After the person left, Xu Qingxiao sat alone in the cell.

When things happen, emotions can affect a person's reason.

And after the matter was over, Xu Qingxiao also thought about a lot of things that day while sitting in prison alone.

Was the king of Huaiping killed well?

It must be good.

But when I think about it, I think it can be done in another way.

This is not done well.

But Xu Qingxiao didn't regret it, if he killed it, he would kill it, it was nothing more than not being too thorough.

But in life, everything may go well, and people always have to improve. How can there be someone who is born perfect?

I am the same, I have just entered the court, it is normal to have deficiencies, if there are shortcomings, I will correct them, and I will not make mistakes next time.

Xu Qingxiao is not very harsh on himself, if he is too harsh, he will be too tired to live.

Xu Qingxiao thought about the matter of King Huaiping for a long time.

It's not thoughtful, but I don't regret it, anyway, I'm having a blast.

If you give yourself a chance to start over, Xu Qingxiao will still kill.

But after several decades, maybe I won't kill myself, after all, people will become more and more mature.

It's just that at least he is still a teenager, and he still has some blood in his bones.

As for His Majesty's attitude.

Xu Qingxiao could also see clearly.

In the courtroom, a little angry, it is impossible to say that there is no emotion.

But after entering the prison, many things gradually came to my mind.

From my point of view, there is nothing wrong with killing the king of the county. If I have to say that I can use other methods, and I choose the most direct method, I am not mature and experienced, but there is no major fault.

From the perspective of the empress, there is no big mistake. The exchange of the military talisman for the life of King Huaiping is completely earned by blood. With the military talisman, the imperial power is stable, and there is no need to be intimidated when doing things, and vigorously develop the country.

Those who have died, remember it in your heart, and don't forget it all the time. When Wei really stabilizes and peace comes down, there will be no problem at all in settling accounts after autumn. At that time, Prince Huaiping will die, let alone Prince Huaiping.

It is a good thing for the emperor to be ruthless, but it is not a good thing if the mood is unstable, regardless of the country, regardless of the world, and doing whatever you want, at least not a good thing for the country.

It’s okay to be jealous, but you must also have strength, like Zhu Taizu, who has power to the death, so corrupt officials, you can kill them if you need to, and look at Emperor Chongzhen, you have to be restrained in everything you do. It's really embarrassing, and you can step down too.

think carefully.

Xu Qingxiao didn't hate His Majesty, but she didn't feel that she had done anything wrong either.

It's nothing more than a different position.

And Xu Qingxiao understands that His Majesty will not really punish him, otherwise he can take the box lunch and leave.

Small punishments and big commandments are the final result of oneself.

It's just that Xu Qingxiao has also become more and more aware of the struggle above the court, and when he does things in the future, he must think carefully, think carefully, and ponder everything carefully.

Otherwise, it’s not okay to be fooled all the time. Anyway, whether it’s looking at people or things, you have to watch carefully to prevent it in the future.

But no matter how much he said, it was just self-comforting words, the fundamental reason why Xu Qingxiao was still willing to stay in Da Wei was Confucianism and Taoism!

Chaoge mentioned it before.

If you practice Confucianism and Taoism yourself, you are cultivating Confucianism and Taoism in the Great Wei Dynasty. If you gather Confucianism and Taoism in the Great Wei Dynasty, if you go to other countries, half of your own Confucianism and Taoism will be destroyed.

Moreover, he defended the people himself and won the hearts of the people.

This thing will be of great use in the future!

Confucianism and Taoism are of great help to oneself. Confucianism is nothing more than two kinds of sages, preaching and preaching or serving the people.

I have laid the foundation for this step, if I abandon it, the hearts of the people will be gone, and my Confucianism and Taoism will also be destroyed.

Therefore, this is also Xu Qingxiao's own goal!

And this day, Xu Qingxiao has one more thing to think about for a long time.

That's why Prince Huaiping handed over the military talisman.

The King of Huaiping made such a fuss, why didn't he stop it?

In the end, the only thing Xu Qingxiao could think of was that Prince Huaining sent the military talisman on purpose.

As for why, it's not that Xu Qingxiao can't think of it, but because time is short, and he can't think of it in a short time.

But no matter what, Prince Huaining is his own archenemy right now.

And it is the kind that hides extremely deeply, and will never confront him head-on. This kind of enemy is the most terrifying.

But there is still a point to be said, the blame is that the Great Wei is now in decline, and everything is going on. If it is a prosperous age, it is estimated that the King of Huaiping can't wait for him to kill him, and the empress would have killed him long ago.

No emperor would tolerate the existence of such a county king.

"The rise and fall of the common people."

Xu Qingxiao shook his head, no matter how much he thought about it, the fundamental problem still lay with the common people.

"The matter of the waterwheel, wait a few more months, there should be some results, I hope there will be no troubles in the future, the country is rich and the people are strong is the kingly way."

Xu Qingxiao murmured to himself.

That's it.

In the blink of an eye, another three days passed.

Xu Qingxiao was detained in the prison for three days.

The vassal kings from all over the place kept clamoring, insulting Xu Qingxiao in various memorials, and even threatened to kill Xu Qingxiao, otherwise it would be difficult to appease their anger.

this day.

above the hall.

Civil and military officials played one after another.

"Your Majesty, minister, I have something to announce."

"Huainan County, in the twelve prefectures, there are tens of millions of people. They have petitioned for Xu Qingxiao. Twelve volumes of the Manmin Book have been sent to the capital."

This is an official from the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

"Your Majesty, I have something to announce."

"Hening County, the land of nine prefectures, 800 million people have petitioned for Xu Qingxiao, and eight volumes of the Manmin Book have also been sent to the capital."

This is an official from the household department.

"Your Majesty, I have something to announce."

A sound rang out.

In the court hall, the officials of the six ministries spoke one after another. In the past three days, the common people of the Wei Dynasty had made a fuss about petitioning for Xu Qingxiao, and volumes of Wanmin Shu were sent to the capital.

It is all in the hope that His Majesty will be merciful and forgive Xu Qingxiao.

Some people have calculated carefully, so far, there are a total of 140 five-volume Manmin Books, and some of them are on the way.

It can be said that Xu Qingxiao has won the love and affection of the people of Wei, otherwise, he would not have made a scene known to the world.

Wait for all the ministers to finish playing.

Chen Zhengru spoke up.

"Your Majesty, I believe that Xu Qingxiao's crime of seizing power is indeed a serious crime, but the king of Huaiping County injured the Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice first, and Xu Qingxiao was also angry for a while, and then it was to solve the case."

"That's why I feel that in this matter, let Xu Qingxiao pay off the merits of the Pingqiu Mansion's disaster relief case, offset the fault of seizing power, and then punish Xu Qingxiao to make amends and give an explanation to the people of the world."

Chen Zhengru spoke up and proposed a solution.

"How does the prince explain it?"

The empress opened her mouth and asked calmly.

"Sending the Wanmin Letter to the vassals everywhere, the public opinion is greater than the sky, I believe all the vassals will understand."

Chen Zhengru answered.

The impeachment of Xu Qingxiao by the vassal is indeed difficult to deal with.

But this Wanmin book can just be used. If the Wanmin book is sent, if the vassal king continues to clamor, it will be against the people.

In this world, no one dares to compete with the common people, not even His Majesty.
