Zhao Hanqing leaned softly on a seat. He put down the pen in his hand, closed his eyes and rubbed the bridge of his nose tiredly.
On the left side in front of his desk is a tall pile of memorials. Those are all memorials that have been annotated and are waiting to be issued. On the right, there is an even more terrifying pile of memorials. These are like the tide from all over the country. Memorials pouring in.
In the winter this year, disasters have continued in various places. In some places, there have been severe floods, in some places there have been earth dragons, in some places there have been wildfires, and in other places plagues are rampant. In these places, the government has allocated countless funds just for disaster relief. Not to mention that some desperate people finally couldn't bear it and began to take desperate measures and revolted.
Although it was quickly extinguished, it was a very scary sign.
Because it is not the government that extinguishes these rebellious peasants, but the spiritual sects in various places!
On the one hand, these cultivating sects extinguished these scattered uprisings, and on the other hand, they absorbed them into their own sects, making them their vassals and letting them work and produce for themselves, thus further strengthening the sect's power.
All these endanger the rule of the imperial court and are digging into the foundation of the imperial court. If things go on like this, the prestige of the imperial court will disappear!
On the surface, these people were eventually absorbed by the various sects, and they lived a stable life. However, as time went by, the various sects expanded one after another, and fights between each other would inevitably begin. At that time, there would be constant internal fighting throughout the country, and the sects would continue to fight. As consumption increases, the pressure will naturally be passed on to the people. That is when the real suffering for the people begins!
Zhao Hanqing knew this very well, but he was helpless. He just saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. He wanted to change all this status quo, but he found himself in a place that looked magnificent on the surface. Among the big houses, in fact, the pillars of this big house have long been eroded, rotted, and precarious.
He wanted to revive the country, but found that he could only tinker with it. If he wanted to make crucial decisions, he had to do something that was contrary to his usual principles.
For example, today, he is going to meet the kind of monk he usually hates the most: a monk who took refuge under the wings of his fourth brother and became a worshiper, but in the end ended up flirting with them. The most important thing is that this monk Judging from the information collected, he looks like an evil sect.
What Zhao Hanqing hates most on weekdays is dealing with such evil sects and duplicitous people. But now, this person is going to become the target of his efforts!
"Your Highness..." Eunuch Huang came to Zhao Hanqing's side gently, and while gently rubbing his temples, he whispered in his ear, "The people are here."
"Oh?" The prince raised his head slightly. His eyes were full of red bloodshot eyes. His tiredness made the eunuch beside him secretly feel distressed. "Bring him in."
Eunuch Huang nodded and nodded to a young Huangmen next to him. This Xiao Huangmen did not shout at the top of his lungs. It seemed that in order to give the prince a safe and calm environment, he just moved the little Huangmen. He walked to the door and whispered a few words to the eunuch waiting at the door. Then the eunuch turned around and walked away quickly.
Soon a person was brought in at the door. Zhao Hanqing looked up and saw that the person who came in was not tall. He was wearing a black robe and a wide hood that almost covered his entire head. Even his face was hidden underneath.
The prince cheered up slightly and said in a deep voice: "Is the person coming here Yue Zhenren?"
Master Yue put his hands inside his sleeves, leaned his upper body slightly forward as a gesture, and said, "Exactly."
Standing next to the prince, Eunuch Huang sternly scolded: "How dare you! Don't bow before His Highness! Are you guilty of being so arrogant?"
Master Yue tilted his head slightly, glanced at him, and said coldly: "I have important matters to discuss with His Highness, why are you, a slave like you, still talking here?"
Eunuch Huang was so angry that his face turned red and his neck was thick: "You!"
The prince raised his hand slightly to stop Eunuch Huang's words. Eunuch Huang lowered his head angrily and retreated. The other maids and eunuchs in the room also retreated one after another.
Yue Zhenren tilted his head and looked at the prince, and suddenly he smiled and said: "It is said that the prince is a majestic monarch. When we meet today, he is indeed worthy of his reputation! Your Highness is not afraid that I will be unfavorable to Your Highness?"
Zhao Hanqing smiled slightly and said: "What a cultivator wants is nothing more than fame, wealth and power. If you kill me, you may not be able to get more from the fourth brother. On the contrary, if you kill me, the fourth brother will definitely If I want to take your life to bring peace to the people of the world, then not only will you not be a hero, but you will become a scapegoat. Since there is no benefit in killing me, why did you kill me?"
As Zhao Hanqing spoke, he raised the tea on the table, blew it gently, took a sip, and said, "Tell me, Master Yue, what do you mean by sending a message to me?"
Master Yue chuckled and said: "I heard that Your Highness has a serious problem, so I came here to help His Highness solve your problems!"
Zhao Hanqing was stunned for a moment, took a deep look at Zhenren Yue, and said, "What's the big problem in my heart? Let me tell you."
When Yue Zhenren raised his hand, two light balls flew out of his sleeves. The two light balls circled and rotated in the air, gradually turning into an intertwined tower. Anyone who has been to Shenjing can recognize it at a glance. , these are the Sun and Moon Twin Towers of the Qiankun God Sect!
Master Yue didn't say it directly, but Zhao Hanqing understood it instantly. The pupils in his eyes shrank sharply, and he stared at Master Yue like needles. He said coldly: "What do you mean?"
Master Yue chuckled and said: "The king's concerns are not external, but internal!"
Zhao Hanqing had a sullen face and said nothing. The reason why he met Master Yue was because Master Yue sent them a message of goodwill in private, so he wanted to meet him. Even if he didn't expect the other person to come to his side, he still wanted to meet him. At least I hope that the other party will not be used by the fourth prince.
Now Zhao Liexian has lost most of his right-hand assistants. If he goes away for another month, it will be like breaking his arm!
Zhao Hanqing thought that the other party wanted to change the family, but he did not expect that the other party was so ambitious!
Zhao Hanqing said in a deep voice: "What do you mean by your respect?"
Master Yue said faintly: "If you shoot the man, shoot the horse first, and if you capture the thief, capture the king first!"
Zhao Hanqing's eyes shone brightly and he stared at Zhenren Yue without saying a word, but at this moment his heart was shocked!
Because what the other party said was exactly what he wanted to do most!
Kill the national master!
In Zhao Hanqing's view, the biggest problem in Daqi now is the Qiankun God Sect. If you want to reform, the first blow must be to the Qiankun God Sect. And if you want to attack the Qiankun God Sect, you must first go through the state teacher Chang Yuan. close!
But is the National Preceptor Chang Yuan someone he can negotiate with to solve the problem
If words can solve the problem, how can the problem of the court be delayed until now and cannot be solved
Therefore, in order to reform in advance, we must first eradicate the Qiankun Divine Religion, and in advance to eradicate the Qiankun Divine Religion, we must first kill the National Preceptor Chang Yuan!
But... is the National Preceptor Chang Yuan so easy to kill
In the five hundred years of the dynasty, the national division has always been victorious and undefeated!
This is a truly invincible strongman!
Facing such a terrifying powerhouse, who dares to say that he is sure of victory
But Master Ke Yue suddenly stood up!
He...why dare to say this
