Nightwatcher

What should come is still here, what Jian Zheng said is right, all the variables are in this winter Xu Qi'an sighed in his heart.

For this result, he was not surprised at all. After all, he was prepared and expected this day.

Yunzhou will rebel sooner or later, and it will be this winter, so for Xu Qi'an, this news is as natural as the sun and the moon. .

"Hurry up to complete the agreement with Nine-Tailed Fox, and remove the magic nail as much as possible, so that I can recover my strength and cope with more changes. Well, I don't know what Fuxiang's real body looks like, is it beautiful?"

Xu Qi'an took out a plan from the fragments of the book on the ground, which clearly planned his goals.

"The matter of reviving Duke Wei will be put aside for a while, let's unseal the gods first. Anyway, I can't find the Mingjin Stone now, and without the Mingjinshi, the main pole of the Soul Calling Banner cannot be refined."

He made appropriate adjustments to the plan, and then waved to Mu Nanzhi:

"Show me Dafeng Geography."

Dafeng Geography was bought by Mu Nanzhi herself, just like a woman who wants to travel, she bought a copy of Geography with great interest, and whenever she goes, she will let go and take a look at related folk customs and special products.

"Southern Xinjiang is within the territory of Dafeng again."

Mu Nanzhi muttered in confusion, took out the crumpled book from her small parcel, and threw it over.

He didn't cherish books at all. Xu Qi'an reached out to catch them, and opened "Dafeng Geography". The reason why he wanted to read this book was because it drew a very simple map of the Central Plains.

So simple that Dafeng Thirteen Continents became irregular squares.

"Yunzhou is near the sea, and most of the area to the north is bordered by Qingzhou. If Xu Pingfeng wants to use Yunzhou as his foundation, he must conquer Qingzhou if he wants to attack the capital in the north.

"And the imperial court wants to gain time to breathe, and the best way to deal with it is to lock the rebellious party in Yunzhou.

"So next, Fengyun will gather in Qingzhou."

Royal study.

Emperor Yongxing straightened his back, listening to the quarrel among the officials in the hall.

Five hundred years ago, the royal family of that line, after the news of the proclaimed emperor in Yunzhou came back to the capital, the ruling and opposition parties were shaken up and down.

The mood of the princes is very stable. After all, they have been prepared in their hearts. If it weren't for the turbulent cold and the imperial court being too busy to take care of themselves, they would have taken the initiative to go south to attack.

But for the entire officialdom, and even the folks, it was a blow to the head.

Since the end of the year of Jingcha, Dafeng has experienced a series of staggering events, including the destruction of the army of conquest of witch gods, the death of the first emperor, the cold disaster, and now Yunzhou has rebelled again.

Even the common people in the market realized that the world was not peaceful and chaos was approaching, so great panic arose.

As for scholars and Beijing officials with low positions, their panic and indignation are even higher.

In the past few days, Beijing middle school students have held frequent literary meetings, inviting friends to discuss the rebellion against the party in Yunzhou and the situation in the Central Plains.

"Your Majesty, Yunzhou rebelled against the party and proclaimed the emperor, which shocked the government and the public. However, few people know about Buddhism's support for the rebellious party, but paper can't contain the fire. This is a great hidden danger."

The Ministry of War said in a low voice.

The faces of the princes are solemn, and the former allies have turned against each other and turned into enemies, which will undoubtedly intensify the panic.

The power of Buddhism is a fact that ordinary people can deeply understand.

A rebel army claiming to be the legacy of the royal family five hundred years ago proclaimed the emperor in Yunzhou and won the support of Buddhism. If this matter spreads, people in the world will question the imperial court and the Dafeng royal family.

Although such doubts will not cause any problems for the time being, at most, there will be criticisms in the market and the countryside. But once the situation is unfavorable, these criticisms and doubts will ferment.

When the common people turn to the enemy, they don't have any psychological burden.

After all, they are still the people of Dafeng, and they even voted for orthodoxy.

In the future, if the rebellious party really overthrows the current imperial court, the people may not even be able to carry out the banner of restoring Dafeng.

Since ancient times, all those who make troubles and provoke wars have attached great importance to being famous.

That's why.

Minister of the Ministry of Punishments said in a deep voice:

"The only way to curb the spread of rumors is that anyone who creates panic, spreads rumors, or talks about this matter will go to jail and questioned."

This method treats the symptoms but not the root cause, and the rumors must be suppressed.

Numerous examples in history have proved that rumors are the best weapon for attacking the mind. If they are left unchecked, they will actively hand the knife to the enemy.

Although the princes feel that the method of the Minister of Criminal Affairs is a bad strategy, it is also the best method at present.

Emperor Yongxing smiled when he heard the words, and said:

"It doesn't have to be like this, it's better to keep it away than to block it. Since the paper can't contain the fire, then take the initiative to make the matter public. This will show the confidence of the court. Let my people know that I am not afraid of Buddhism, and the court is not afraid of the Western Regions."

The princes looked at each other in blank dismay, thinking that this was not in line with His Majesty's prudent and conservative style of conduct.

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice frowned, and couldn't help but look at the calm Wang Shoufu, and his heart moved:

"Your Majesty has a good plan to deal with it?"

Emperor Yongxing glanced at the princes, and saw that they bowed their heads slightly, as if they were listening, and occasionally raised their heads to look at him. Although they quickly lowered their heads, the eagerness in their eyes was not concealed.

The smile on the corner of his mouth widened, creating a little pleasure of controlling the court.

"Not bad!" Emperor Yongxing said slowly:

"Not long ago, Xu Qi'an fought with the Witch God Sect, the Yunzhou Rebel Party, and the Buddhist sect in Jianzhou, beheading two Vajras in a row. Now the Buddhist sect has no guardian vajras.

"This is Xu Yinluo's great victory, and it's also my dynasty's great victory."

There was a silence in the imperial study, and all the princes were moved.

"Your Majesty, is this really true?"

Liu Hong, the censor of Zuodu, said in amazement, he asked everyone's doubts.

Although all the people present were scholars, and they could only hold my pen, but at the same time, as the pinnacle of great power, they were no strangers to the Dharma Guardian King Kong of Buddhism.

Dharma Protector King Kong, third grade!

What is the concept of three products?

Da Feng is now supported by Xu Qi'an, a third-rank martial artist.

Emperor Yongxing nodded:

"This matter will soon spread in Jianzhou, and it cannot be faked."

The information that would allow the emperor to speak out on such an occasion must be undeniable.

The princes seemed to hear the beating of their hearts "thumping" in their chests, and the surprise and shock on their faces could not be suppressed.

The degree of surprise this news brought them was no less than the victory of a big battle, or even more serious.

"Your Majesty, please announce the information."

"Excellent, in this way, you can safely announce the news that Buddhism supports the rebels."

"Xu Yinluo is already the pillar of my Dafeng Township, and the hearts of the people can be settled"

The princes talked a lot, and it didn't stop for a long time.

Emperor Yongxing didn't stop it, and the small court in the imperial study room will be less serious than the early court.

Secondly, he knows that the princes also need a space to build confidence and vent their emotions. Buddhism supports the rebellious party in Yunzhou, and if it is spread, it will make the people panic. Don't you feel panic?

The surface is as stable as mountains and rivers, but the heart is flustered like a sea tide.

Xu Qi'an's record in Jianzhou is undoubtedly an exciting feat.

Once this small power-holding group gains confidence, it will drive the cohesion of the entire dynasty.

After a long time, Emperor Yongxing saw that the conversation gradually subsided, looked at the Minister of the Ministry of War, and said:

"I have read Xu Aiqing's notes. Qingzhou will become a battleground between the imperial court and the rebellious party in Yunzhou. If Qingzhou falls, the rebel party will have a basic plan for the Northern Expedition. There will also be a buffer zone for dispatching troops and generals." .

"It's just blindly sticking to it. Is the court too passive? There is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days. If you take the initiative to march south, is it feasible?"

The Minister of the Ministry of War came out and bowed:

"Going south to fight against the rebellious party is feasible, but right now is definitely not the best time. The rebel party in Yunzhou has been plotting for a long time, and with the help of Buddhism, they will take the initiative to go deep into the enemy's belly, and I am afraid they will fall into the trap.

"Furthermore, after the death of Duke Wei, Dafeng has neither a superhuman martial artist nor the ability to lead, so it is the first choice to fight steadily."

Is there no handsome talent in the imperial court? Several nobles and generals cast a cold look at Liu Hong.

Scholars bury and eliminate people, it's really penetrating.

Although peerless commanders like Wei Yuan are rare, Dafeng does not lack experienced generals to lead the army.

When it came to the mouth of the surname Liu, the imperial court military seemed to have withered talents.

At this time, the Ministry of War came out of the matter and said:

"You can invite Qi'an to return to Beijing, give him military power, and let him guard Qingzhou.

"Xu Qi'an is a disciple of Wei Yuan. He wrote books on military affairs. Even the great Confucian Zhang Shen can't compare to him. And he is an extraordinary warrior. No one is more suitable to guard Qingzhou than him."

Apart from Xu Qi'an, there is no third rank martial artist in Dafeng.

Most of the time, the existence of Si Tianjian was directly ignored by the princes.

Wang Shoufu immediately stepped out and retorted:

"Xu Qi'an has no experience in the battlefield, so it would be child's play to ask him to lead troops to guard Qingzhou. Qingzhou must not be lost, and the court cannot afford to lose."

After a pause, he glanced at the unconvinced officials and said in a deep voice:

"Xu Qi'an is not invincible. Once the rebellious party is restrained by a warrior of the mortal realm, or even killed, the imperial court will lose Qingzhou. Moreover, Qingzhou is already under Yang Gong's control. If you change generals, are you afraid that he will have a different heart?"

There was a silence in the imperial study room, and no one refuted.

On issues that do not involve party struggles or conflicts of interests, the minds of the princes are still very useful, and they can clearly and accurately see the interests and interests.

Emperor Yongxing nodded and said loudly:

"From now on, dispatch troops and generals to reinforce Qingzhou."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Wang Shoufu: "Xu Xinian, a concubine of the Hanlin Academy, is a disciple of the great Confucian Zhang Shen. He is proficient in the art of war and has made great contributions in helping the demons and barbarians in the northern border. He must be included in the list of reinforcements for Qingzhou this time. "

Wang Shoufu paused slightly, and then said:

"yes!"

Emperor Yongxing wanted to use Xu Xinnian to bind Xu Qi'an, so that Xu Yinluo, who was constantly transferred by the court, would work for the survival of Qingzhou.

At the same time, it also hinted at Wang Shoufu that he wanted to promote Xu Xinnian and give Shujishi a chance to make military exploits.

Yanwang Mansion.

The first four princes, now Prince Yan, were sitting in the study room blazing with charcoal fire. He was wearing a white brocade robe, ringed with jingle bells, and he looked very regal.

He holds a volume of books in his left hand, and tea and pastries in his right hand.

The title of the book "Zhou Ji" was written on the blue cover, and what Prince Yan read was the thirteenth chapter of the second volume.

It records the youthful experience of an emperor that happened in the early and mid-period of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The emperor was originally a concubine, and there were three direct princes on top of him, so it was impossible for the crown to fall on his head.

But it was such a coincidence that because of a series of battles, the three direct princes either died accidentally, or were disgusted by the emperor, and in the end, he, the concubine prince, was taken advantage of.

"Huaiqing, you are really my good sister."

Prince Yan laughed: "I'm the one who was impatient. The battle between the "concubine sons" has just begun. How can I, a "bastard son", be so impatient."

Southern Xinjiang, one hundred thousand mountains.

The night was gloomy, and in the endless mountains, the desolate cries of night owls could be heard from time to time.

A giant red bird with a body length of two feet spread its wings and glides across the mountains.

When it reached a certain valley, it suddenly folded its giant wings, its body changed drastically in the air, its feathers retracted into its body, its wings turned into human arms, and its sharp beak became flattened into lips.

The head swelled like a ball and turned into a human head. But when it landed in the valley, it had already turned into a heroic man with narrow eyes.

There is a grotto in the valley. Outside the grotto are two beautiful women wrapped in animal skins, showing tight thighs and a flat belly.

"I've seen the Hongtao Guardian!"

The two seductive women bowed and saluted.

"How is Elder Ye Ji?"

The bird demon Hongying stared into the depths of the cave.

"We haven't woken up yet, we have already sent someone to invite Guardian Qingmu." The seductive woman on the left responded.

Hongying frowned tightly, and said in a deep voice:

"Who injured Elder Ye Ji?"

PS: I'm cheap today, and I watched some warning videos on cancer and sudden death on the official media. After watching the whole person, I fell into great anxiety. Then fell asleep.

Change first and then change.
