First, the grandson did not try his best for himself. Although he did not witness the scene with his own eyes, he knew that Zhu Zhanji was no longer the same as before. He would consider himself first in everything, and he could not risk being blamed by the emperor.
help him.
The second is for the emperor's thoughts... Although the Sacred Heart is unpredictable, he clearly guessed the coldness and murderous intention in the Sacred Heart! This made Wang Xian feel discouraged for the first time. But now he was riding a tiger and was unable to get off, so he killed him
Liu Ben and Ma Zhong even said to Ma Zhong shamelessly, if you don't do it, someone will do it, right?!
Although Wang Xian was cruel and ruthless, he always had compassion for the people in his heart. He asked him to abandon the people of Manchuria and sit back and watch the chaos in Shandong. He asked himself, he couldn't be so cruel. In this case, he could only try his best to help.
That's all. As for the outcome, we can only do our best and listen to fate...
Although summer had just entered, he could clearly feel the chill of late autumn...
Le'an Prefecture, Palace of the Prince of Han.
Wei Wuque specially waited for King Han to finish his martial arts practice this time before he showed up. King Han had already left the training ground when he saw this guy floating in. He said with a smile: "You are a coward, compared with your cousin, you are really far behind.
"
"So he's dead, but I'm still alive." Wei Wuque said with a smile: "Your Majesty is in a world of extraordinary skills. It's enough to learn from him once, but more times will cost lives." He paused and smiled and said: "Your Majesty is in a good mood today, look.
Wang Xian did not get any benefits from the court."
"Hmph! Stop pretending, your King Zhao must have told you a long time ago!" King Han snorted, threw the towel in his hand to the guard behind him, and finally couldn't hold back the smile on his face and said: "Haha, I never expected that.
, It turns out that the emperor has long regarded Wang Xian as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh! Now he is completely relieved!"
"The prince should not be careless," Wei Wuque hurriedly advised: "Even without the help of the court, with Wang Xian's ability, he can still stir up big troubles!"
The King of Han immediately said with a gloomy face: "Yes, Wang Xian is really powerful. Three times, five divided by two, he captured all the three divisions of Shandong!" When mentioning this, the King of Han gritted his teeth with hatred and said: "Especially Ma Zhong.
That idiot, who was stuck in Shandong Dusi's position like a nail, was pulled out so easily!"
"It's no wonder Ma Zhong, Xian is really despicable..." Wei Wuque shuddered when he thought of the things Wang Xian had done: "Who would have thought that he could use that method to torment an entire province?
"
"In the final analysis, Ma Zhong is still too stupid!" The King of Han spat: "I have given you many warnings and instructions, asking him to be careful of Wang Xian, but he just turned a deaf ear!"
"Now it's okay. The man named Wang has unified Shandong and started to deal with the White Lotus Sect, right?" Although Zhu Gaoxu hated Wang Xian, he was still convinced by this guy's madness. He knew that no matter what he encountered,
Wang Xian cannot shrink from setbacks, but will only face difficulties more and more!
"That's right." Wei Wuque handed a document issued in the name of the Chief Envoy to the King of Han, "He has already taken action."
The King of Han took it over and saw that it was Wang Xian's five major measures, and he spat: "The government reduced taxes and labor, the gentry reduced rent and interest, local inspections were carried out, local groups trained local bravery, and whistleblowers were rewarded... This guy is his
Mom has so many tricks up her sleeve!"
"But these five tricks are indeed suitable for the disease," Wei Wuque said softly: "If he is really allowed to implement it, I'm afraid the White Lotus Sect just wants to cause chaos, and the extent of it is limited." Wei Wuque despised Wang Xian at the beginning and then became jealous, until
Now he is somewhat respected. He believes that Wang Xian does have great talents. These five measures have grasped the key to the contradiction, especially the first two, which are completely aimed at the crux of the Shandong people's suffering from excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes. As long as they can be implemented, the people will
The grievances against the government and the imperial court will be greatly reduced. To put it bluntly, the power of the White Lotus Sect comes from the grievances and anger of the people, so it will naturally be greatly weakened...
Coupled with the following three powerful preventive measures, if Wang Xian continues like this, whether the White Lotus Sect can still start an uprising is a question...
As the conversation progressed, His Royal Highness the King of Han and Wei Wuque entered the study and closed the door to discuss secrets.
"Regions from all over the country practice local bravery..." Zhu Gaoxu asked in a deep voice: "What kind of fame is this? Does he expect those ordinary people to deal with the White Lotus Sect?"
"No." Wei Wuque shook his head and said: "His purpose is not to use those common people for anything, but the common people themselves." After a pause, he said: "To turn young and middle-aged people into rural warriors under the control of local officials and gentry, these
People and their families have become two different people from the White Lotus Sect. With one more village, the White Lotus Sect will have one less soldier source, which is taking fuel out of the White Lotus Sect’s cauldron.”
"The abacus is really good!" Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said with a sullen face: "Let him do this for a year and a half, it will really ruin this king's major event!"
"Your Majesty is very concerned," Wei Wucuo nodded and said, "Once these measures are effective, even if the White Lotus Sect causes chaos, he will be able to deal with it. If we want to fish in troubled waters, it will be impossible!"
"******!" Zhu Gaoxu spat and said with hatred: "This mess that I thought even the gods couldn't sort out was cut off by this guy with a sharp knife!" As he spoke, he slapped several cases heavily and said:
"We can't let him succeed!"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, he is very likely to succeed if we don't exist." Wei Wuque smiled and said, "But wouldn't there still be us?"
"What good ideas do you have?" Zhu Gaoxu looked at Wei Wuque steadily.
"We can't wait any longer, we must let the White Lotus Sect take action immediately!" Wei Wuque said in a deep voice, with a ferocious look on his handsome face.
"Is the White Lotus Sect ready?!" Zhu Gaoxu touched his chin and said thoughtfully.
"No." Wei Wuque said with a faint smile: "But the Buddha Mother and Tang Tiande are trying their best to unify the White Lotus Sect in Shandong." After a pause, he said softly: "In order to unify the opposition forces, they
Yue, there have been several battles... The reputation of the Buddha Mother is still very loud, they have killed several helmsmen, and there was no big trouble."
"So, they are still busy fighting for power?!" Zhu Gaoxu said in a deep voice.
"Yes, although we have tried our best to mix sand into them, our arms can't hold our thighs. By autumn at most, the Buddha Mother will almost unify Shandong." Wei Wuque said quietly: "This is why we must immediately let the White Lotus Sect start an uprising.
!Only if those bumpkins are allowed to taste the pleasure of being kings and hegemons, will they truly value their own power and fight to the death with the Buddha Mother. Right now, these guys don’t have the heart at all..."
"Hmm." Zhu Gaoxu nodded. Their previous plan was to separate the White Lotus Sect and not let the Buddha Mother dominate the world. Otherwise, it would be too late and the plan would become a wedding dress for the White Lotus Sect.
This is absolutely unacceptable. Thinking of this, he looked at Wu Que and said, "What are you going to do?"
"Let us help light this first fire." Wei Wuque pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Gao Yang'er, the leader of the White Lotus Sect in Jimo County, didn't you come with me to pay homage to the prince before?"
"I have a little impression, nothing like it." Zhu Gaoxu nodded.
"We can use him to make the Jimo White Lotus Sect start an uprising in advance!" Wei Wuque said: "Once there is a start, the leaders of the White Lotus Sect in various places will definitely be unable to sit still! And with the position of Jimo decided, then Tang Tiande and Buddha Mother will definitely and
Wang Xian versus Wang Xian!"
"Yeah. The location of Jimo is really wonderful." The King of Han thought for a while, approved Wei Wuque's plan, and said in a deep voice: "That's it!".
At the end of May, Jinan City was already very hot, and Wei Yuan and Guo Yi arrived. Wang Xian and Chu Yan went to the mansion to greet them personally. He was the imperial envoy on behalf of the emperor. Of course, he could not be as exaggerated as when he arrived in Shandong, but his enthusiasm was still the same.
It was very useful to both of them.
The relationship between Wang Xian and Wei Yuan does not need to be described in detail. As for Guo Yi, he was a subordinate of the late Lao Cheng Duke Zhu Neng. Before arriving, Zhu Yong specially invited him to dinner and told him not to have a quarrel with Wang Xian.
With Zhu Yong's relationship and Wang Xian as an imperial envoy, Guo Yi was naturally very polite to Wang Xian. At the reception banquet, the four adults complimented each other and were very harmonious.
After the meal, Guo Yi and Chu Yan, who were somewhat drunk, went to bed, while Wang Xian accompanied Wei Yuan to drink tea in the garden.
"Jinan, the spring city, is indeed well-deserved." Wei Yuan was wearing a casual robe, a golden flower belt around his waist, and three strands of long beard fluttering. He looked much calmer and more solemn than before. He stood by the Pearl Spring, looking at the spring water and at the king.
Xian smiled and said: "The imperial envoy really knows how to enjoy happiness."
"Teacher," Wang Xian said with a wry smile in front of Wei Yuan, still holding the disciple ceremony: "You should call me Zhongde."
"Alas, etiquette cannot be discarded. Now you are a top-ranked earl, a dignified governor of Jinyi Guards, and an imperial envoy to inspect Shandong. I, the inspector of Shandong, must not be treated lightly." Wei Yuan looked at Wang Xian and said with a half-serious smile. This was originally
The apprentices he took when he was the county magistrate are already above him in official positions now... Although Wei Yuan only took seven or eight years to rise from the rank of seventh-rank county magistrate to the rank of third-rank inspector, which is a step every year.
, the speed of promotion is already astonishing, but compared with his own disciples...it is really incomparable.
"Teacher, please stop trying to bully me." The bitter smile on Wang Xian's face became even stronger: "When will you be my teacher..."
"Well, since the imperial envoy said so, I have no choice but to obey the order, of course only in private." Wei Yuan was naturally impressed by Wang Xian's attitude, and said no longer politely: "Zhongde, tell me the truth, there are still people in Shandong
No help?"
"Teacher, there will definitely be chaos." Wang Xian said frankly: "What we can do now is to make the chaos controllable and make it chaotic when we are prepared. It doesn't matter if it is a chaos, it can be cured later.
"As he spoke, he smiled bitterly and said, "Unexpectedly, it was not enough for them to harm me, and they also pushed the teacher into this pit of fire.
"What are these words?" Wei Yuan said sternly: "As officials, aren't we just to protect the country and protect the common people? Are the tens of millions of people in Shandong not my people in the Ming Dynasty? Isn't this province of Shandong not mine?
The territory of the Ming Dynasty?”
"That's what the teacher said." Wang Xian listened with his head down and smiled bitterly in his heart. I, Teacher Wei, am still the same as before, and I always follow the same principles.
"Since I have come to Shandong, I will be at your disposal as a teacher." However, apart from singing high-profile songs, Wei Yuan is indeed a good official with relatively few selfish motives. He looked at Wang Xiandao: "You just give orders!"
