Entertainment of Spring and Autumn

Chapter 631: How long do you plan to keep me waiting?

"I can't see what your Majesty is thinking." Xia Houdi drank tea tiredly and whispered: "This incident has reduced his reputation a lot. Many officials think that the Jingtian Sect is a cancer and burden to the capital. . Including relatives, many people have been defrauded of their property by the Jingtian Sect, and when they started to make trouble, they were confused, and in the end they couldn't even figure out who they belonged to."

Xue Mu laughed dumbly: "Evil people still need to be punished by evil people. No one can control the tyranny in normal times, and it is difficult to control the six gates. This time, the Demon Sect with the emperor's acquiescence is doing it. I really know what it means to be comfortable."

Xiahou Di asked curiously: "You don't mean that your Majesty's move is still a good thing?"

"A large number of cases have been coming in recently, confusing your attention. Among the many cases, there are some others hidden. In the past, they would have been very sensitive, but at this time, they are just one or two examples of the various evil things done by the Jingtian Sect. Not a single wave of water stirred up..."

Xiahou Di pondered as if he had some understanding.

"As far as I know, there is a fallen baron who was deceived by people from the Jingtian Sect and got heavily in debt. He couldn't help but hang himself?"

"That's what happened. We are still investigating the specific case."

"You are still investigating the case. Has the court taken back my farm and ancestral property?"

"Well, the family has been wiped out... This is the norm." The more Xiahoudi thought about it, the more frightened he became: "There are not a few cases of this kind in recent times. Is this the case of His Majesty using the Jingtian Sect to eradicate the old powerful people? Isn't it true... "

"No, he is not attacking the powerful people. He has no time to unite with the truly powerful powerful people." Xue Mu explained: "During the millennium of the Great Zhou Dynasty, in places like the capital, the annexation of land and industry has reached its limit. Ji Wuyou is also here Consider the issue of resource redistribution. His step is aimed at the middle and lower nobles."

Xia Houdi felt a little fresh when he heard it: "Tell me carefully."

"Similar to that kind of declining aristocracy, it means that no strong person is born in the family. A bunch of incompetent and useless descendants of noble nobles are just a pure burden for the court to support with a lot of money and food. Moreover, these people's ancestral properties may have been sold for seven Seven or eight, but if all the similar people add up to a considerable amount, it is also a waste. Ji Wuyou wanted to redistribute, but did not dare to mess with the system, otherwise it might cause a violent backlash, so he used the Jingtian Sect to do it Knife. If you are interested in statistics, you will find that the imperial farm and various other industries have suddenly increased by countless numbers in this month."

Xia Houdi listened blankly, not knowing what to say.

"Another target is those officials related to Zhengdao. Currently, he dare not act rashly on those related to us, and Zhengdao's anger has dissipated. It is time for him to take action. There has been a chaos recently. Have you discovered the personnel affairs of some officials? change?"

"It was discovered, but it was all well-documented illegal matters that led to dismissal or demotion...and he was not one of ours, so we didn't go out of his way to protect him."

"Where did the evidence come from? There are too many thefts of all kinds. You haven't paid attention... I heard that there was a real person who was poisoned at home. Are you still solving the case..."

"..." Xia Houdi was stunned for a long time, and his expression became increasingly ugly.

"The Jingtian Sect is just a knife for Ji Wuyou. He is very good at doing things that are not suitable for him to do openly. As for losing some reputation, it is very simple. On the surface, doesn't he strongly support you to deal with it strictly? No one can say that he is harboring demons. In fact, how many people can you deal with harshly? For the hundreds of thousands of Jingtian believers at the moment, the ones you kill don’t even count, and ruthless people like Xu Jing can’t even count. I won’t take this loss seriously..."

"..."

"In the end, we have done almost everything we need to do. We blame the Jingtian Sect for all the troubles. Finally, we expel the Jingtian Sect into Yizhou and restore peace to the capital. Anyway, it has been so long since it became an official sect, and the Jingtian Sect has arrived in Yizhou. The establishment of the State Mountain Gate has also become a matter of course. The imperial court will only congratulate these people for leaving the capital and fully support their development in Yizhou..."

Xia Houdi understood, and the more he understood, the more exhausted he became: "Once the Jingtian Sect leaves the capital, based on their homologous relationship with you, they will set up a powerful opponent for you to check and balance you."

"Yes, by that time, the capital will be clean, and I, Xue Mu, will have a headache. But what kind of disaster Yizhou has suffered, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and the princes in the temple cannot realize it. Instead, they will realize the benefits of resource redistribution , found that their interests increased... not only did Ji Wuyou's reputation not be damaged, but he became a holy king and wise master. As for the damaged people, righteous officials, and declining nobles, who cares?"

Xia Houdi opened his mouth, but couldn't say what he wanted to say.

"As long as the Jingtian Sect can hold me back, Yizhou, which is thousands of miles away, will be under the control of the Jingtian Sect, that is, under the rule of the imperial court. Many years later, it will be another Yaowang Valley and the Sword Casting Valley, and the imperial court will become more powerful. Who cares about the original attributes of Jingtian Sect?"

Xiahoudi shook his head slowly. From many aspects, Ji Wuyou's actions may be in line with the ruler's thinking and the interests of some people. Logically speaking, she may have to support them... but she always feels out of place even though she is in the court.

She can always think of her mother. Who cares about the fisherman girl by the river?

"People like Su Xiang are criticizing the Jingtian Sect. Have you ever seen them take any concrete actions? Not only they haven't, but some people are impeaching you. Because they can see who the emperor is targeting with this move, and who will benefit from it. Who?" Xue Mu sighed and said leisurely: "Ji Wuyou has always represented the interests of the ruling class. The balance of good and evil is just a corner in his eyes. In fact, that is the responsibility of the Six Sects, not the responsibility of the emperor. His vision is better than yours. Father is higher. His biggest tragedy is that Liu Men and he are not of the same mind. Otherwise, how can there be other people's affairs in this world?"

Xia Houdi was in a daze, and the time when he had the most intimate relationship with Ji Wuyou's brother and sister came to mind.

At that time, was Ji Wuyou just trying to grasp the six doors?

Xue Mu added: "The main problem now is that I can't guess what Xu Jing is thinking. On the surface, it seems that he can occupy Yizhou with the support of the imperial court, and he seems to have great potential? But he should know that this is unreliable, and he Without a tripod, are you really sure that you can withstand our Alliance of Six Paths? Moreover, the Jingtian believers are all former members of the Six Paths. Xia Wenxuan and others are afraid that they will wet their pants even if they stare at it. Why should they play with us? I always feel that Xu Jing is Those who have other ideas may not be as good as Ji Wuyou."

Xia Houdi sighed: "In any case, after what you said, I have a good idea, and the direction of the case will be more targeted. Since you plan to cause trouble for them, where are you going to start? How do you need my cooperation? "

"It's hard to decide yet. I need to go to the palace to meet the Queen Mother and Eunuch Li."

Xia Houdi nodded: "Okay, if you have any ideas, please feel free to contact us."

Yue Xiaochan kept leaning on the chair and drinking tea without saying a word, looking at the expressions of Xue Mu and Xia Houdi. She always felt that these two people... said they were in love, but in fact they were like-minded people walking hand in hand. More intensely, their topics tend to go straight to business matters, the politics of government and the public, the world, and the love between children and their children.

In fact, they are quite compatible, Yue Xiaochan suddenly had this idea. A long time ago, the first person to say that Xue Mu was more suitable for the court was Xia Houdi. Now it seems that he really looks like Xia Houdi's colleagues. To this day, what Yue Xiaochan admires the most is Xia Houdi's vision and determination. I don't know what she was thinking about the six-door gold medal that was thrust into Xue Mu's hand.

Just as he was thinking this, he heard Xia Houdi change the subject to this: "I heard that you are planning to get engaged?"

"Well……"

"The engagement is very good, and I support it very much." Xia Houdi said expressionlessly: "But Marquis Changxin, please don't forget something. This princess is also waiting for you to propose marriage to the court. How long do you plan to make me wait?"

"Pfft..." Yue Xiaochan spit out a mouthful of tea.
