Li Hongyun was stunned by Chu Ge's series of questions.
He frowned and after thinking hard for a long time, he said: "If it is as you speculated, then this problem has no solution at all!
"Yan Maoqing's secret letter said that destroying the embankment and drowning the thieves was actually a lie, and destroying the embankment was the main purpose. Governor Lin is a smart man, and he must have figured out Yan Shoufu's true intention.
"In other words, the secret communication between the two people was on the surface about 'flooding thieves', but in fact it was about 'flooding fields to make money'?
"Yan Maoqing has made a clear plan to exchange fertile land in the hands of ordinary people for money in the hands of corrupt officials and wealthy businessmen. Only with the money can he renew his position as chief minister. Therefore, he must accomplish this even if he overcomes all difficulties.
something.
"That's why Lin Xiangmin was so hesitant.
"He knows that he must not disobey this matter, because his position as governor depends on Yan Shoufu. If Yan Shoufu gets angry, he can be replaced for any reason, such as 'inability to resist thieves.'"
etc.
"But if you follow the instructions, there will be a big problem. The fertile fields will be flooded and the people will be displaced, which can easily trigger civil uprisings. Even if he arranges for others to secretly dig the dam without leaving any evidence, it will still be difficult for him as a governor to have a civil uprising.
Give up the blame.
"What's more, no one with any humanity can do such unconscionable bad things. When the flood comes, I don't know how many people will drown.
"If you are considering your own status, you can only do it according to the wishes of Chief Yan at the risk of provoking a civil uprising; if you are loyal to your duties, you can only wait to be dismissed by Chief Yan, and then someone will be replaced.
, maybe the embankment will still be dug, and there is no hope of gangsters.
"It can be delayed for a while, but in the end it is impossible to escape these two endings."
Li Hongyun now finally understands why Lin Xiangmin looks so worried. This is indeed a difficult dead end.
"Then...is there such a possibility?
"Kill Yan Maoqing?
"If the incident of destroying the embankment and drowning the thieves was revealed, would it be possible to bring down Yan Maoqing?"
Li Hongyun thought about it and found that almost nothing could be done with Yan Maoqing above his head.
Historically, Yan Maoqing did indeed fall, and Gu Qingzhang became the new chief assistant.
If he could kill Yan Maoqing, let the emperor raid his house, and uproot the entire Yan Party, then he wouldn't have to worry about money in the short term.
With Gu Qingzhang as the chief assistant, most of the military supplies for the bandits can be allocated.
Chu Ge shook his head: "Of course not!
"If Yan Maoqing does not fall, Governor Lin really has nothing to do; but if Yan Maoqing does fall, do you think Governor Lin will be spared based on his previous relationship with Yan Shoufu?
"Yes, he is now in charge of the overall situation of the gangsters, but how can the eggs be intact after the nest is overthrown? Once Yan Chief Fu falls, he will inevitably fall.
"Report the incident of destroying the embankment and drowning the thieves? It's easy to say, but how can there be any real evidence to prove that Yan Shoufu instigated him? If the incident of destroying the embankment really happened, wouldn't he, the governor, take responsibility for such a big thing?
"Do you think that after this matter is really brought to light, the emperor will trust an elder who has been with him day and night and has relied on him for decades, or will he trust you, a local governor? What's more, you, the governor, were personally promoted by the elder, and he will trust you.
There is the grace of knowledge and encounter.
"What do you think the emperor will think of you? Should he destroy his relatives for justice, or should he deceive his master and destroy his ancestors?
"Okay, even if Yan Chief Assistant falls, can the new Chief Assistant Gu Qingzhang accommodate you? You were promoted by Yan Chief Assistant, which means you have already joined the team. Will Gu Qingzhang continue to use you?
"If Lin Xiangmin is kicked out of his position as governor, how can he continue to fight against the bandits?"
Li Hongyun was a little dizzy: "That means... Yan Maoqing will fall, but only partially, not completely?"
Chu Ge nodded: "That's right.
"You cannot uproot Yan Shoufu, otherwise Governor Lin will also be implicated. To weaken Yan Shoufu's status, and at the same time to make Governor Lin appear in front of the emperor, it is best to be appreciated by the emperor. Only in this way can it be possible
From the emperor's mouth, he dug out the military supplies needed by the bandits.
"Do you still remember what Governor Lin said to General Deng? If you perform meritorious service, you will be rewarded with military resources.
"To put it bluntly, there are only two ways to get money. One way is to ask Yan Shoufu, which is obviously not feasible anymore. Yan Shoufu himself is worried about money; the other is to find a way to ask the emperor directly.
.
"But the emperor himself is also irresponsible. If you fail to suppress the bandits, he will not think that it is because of insufficient military resources. Instead, he will think that you are not capable enough. So Governor Lin did not deliberately want to block General Deng's military resources, but he
It is true that there will not be enough military resources.
"Because since the current emperor dared to appoint Yan Maoqing as his chief minister for decades, it shows that he was an emperor who was greedy when it came to making money for himself and extremely painful when the state treasury allocated funds. It is normal to have military funding. If you want military funding,
That means the emperor already thinks highly of you!
"So, the only way is for the emperor to pay more attention to Governor Lin, thinking that he is a capable minister, and that giving him military resources can indeed put down the bandits. As long as this can be done, then in the emperor's words, this military resource general
I can find a way to squeeze it out.
“It is also commonly known as ‘Shangda Tian Ting’.
"It's just that these four words are easy to say, but difficult to do."
Gu An
After analyzing this meal, Li Hongyun was completely confused.
He and Chu Ge are both history students, so their mastery of historical materials may not be much different, but when it comes to the analysis of specific issues, there is still a gap.
This is also the reason why Chu Ge can play the first pass of the Scribes copy, but Li Hongyun cannot.
However, fortunately, after this analysis, the two of them finally smoothed over the current situation.
To put it simply: walking on thin ice, confusing!
Above are the emperor, Yan Maoqing and Gu Qingzhang, three gods, fighting each other, while below, Lin Xiangmin is trying to support the overall situation in the southeast, and General Deng insists on suppressing the bandits despite insufficient military resources.
Now the only "immortal" that Governor Lin Xiangmin can get along with is Yan Maoqing, but Yan Maoqing doesn't want to fight against the bandits now, he just wants to make money.
So we reached an impasse.
And if you want to break this deadlock, you have to carefully enter the circle of fighting between gods and gods. This can be said to be dancing on a tightrope. If you are not careful, it will be easy to confiscate your family and exterminate your family.
Li Hongyun felt a little melancholy. As expected, these dungeons were very difficult and could not be cleared with just a slap on the forehead.
Chu Ge was very indifferent: "Don't be sad, the progress now is actually very fast.
"Although each new copy is different and the difficulty is gradually increasing, players are also improving and are becoming more and more comfortable in cracking it.
"At least for this copy, on the first day, we have figured out its general direction. It will only be a matter of time before we try a few more times and pass the level."
The two of them went to have breakfast together, and then went about their own business.
As usual, Chu Ge went to the forum to post his analysis and share information with other players.
Li Hongyun, on the other hand, repeatedly speculated on the "fighting between gods" situation in the dungeon, thinking about how he, as an aide, should give Lin Xiangmin advice.
At least, he must help Lin Xiangmin analyze the situation clearly so that Governor Lin can take a high look at him, so that the copy can continue to advance.
This time, the staff line is relatively friendly to Li Hongyun.
Because strictly speaking, playing the role of a staff member does not require such superb acting skills. As long as you have a clear mind, grasp the situation accurately enough, and then analyze everything that needs to be analyzed, it is enough.
…
At this time, the players on the forum also had a heated discussion on the copy of "The title is not my intention".
"The thieves in the new dungeon have been upgraded again! In the first battle, I met a Hundred Battles thieves and knocked him unconscious!"
"Yes, he is much stronger than the bandits in the previous dungeon. I thought that after practicing for so long in the previous dungeon, I would be able to chop melons and vegetables in the new dungeon, but I didn't expect that I would still have to suffer!"
"The equipment of these bandits is too sophisticated, I can't accept it! When they attacked Buning Port in the second stage, they even had muskets!"
"Aren't all thieves and bandits just refugees and down-and-out soldiers? Why do they still have so many muskets? This is not scientific at all!"
"It's normal. According to historical records, many of these bandits are veterans of the regular army. You can even regard the bandits entrenched in Buning Port as a powerful barbarian army."
"This group of people is the strongest group among the bandits. They basically represent the top level of combat power of the Dongyi bandits at that time. There is actually no comparison with the group of people who broke into the small county before."
"The only good news is that the Sheng army has General Deng, the god of war. Without General Deng and just relying on these useless soldiers, I don't know how we would have fought this battle!"
"I tried the staff line, but I was stuck... I couldn't answer any of the questions the governor asked me, and then he kicked me out, and the mission failed..."
"Staff staff should go to the forum and read the analysis post of Mr. Chu Ge. The analysis is quite thorough. But now even if we look through historical materials, we still can't find an exact solution. We can only hope that these big guys will figure out a standard.
That’s the answer.”
"Has anyone gone to the advanced dungeon to get talent upgrade skills?"
"I struggled all night to get it! It can indeed upgrade the original talent skills, but it is not so urgent at the moment. What I got is the advanced skill of the scribe, which further relaxes the restrictions on the use of Haoran Zhengqi. Now even if I don't read it,
Poetry, as long as it expresses similar meanings, can also activate Haoran's righteousness. I don't know about other professions."
…
Chu Ge flipped through the discussions on the forum, paying particular attention to the upgraded difficulty versions of the four novice trial dungeons.
It is true that you can upgrade your identity-specific talents and skills, but at present, it only slightly improves your combat ability on the original basis. It is not particularly helpful in cracking new dungeons, so don't worry.
It’s totally fine to wait until you’ve played the first pass of the new dungeon before going there.
Thinking of this, Chu Ge, like Li Hongyun, continued to read historical materials and some scholars' analysis of the political situation at that time, and considered ways to break the situation for Lin Xiangmin.
