All the officials looked happy. The grand master Wen Zhong waited for a moment. When he saw that King Zhou refused to answer, he gradually felt strange.

"King, what do you think of what the old minister said?"

Su Ze shook his head slightly: "not very good."

Wen Zhong was surprised. Huang Feihu, the king of Wucheng, Shang Rong, the prime minister, abigan, Weiziqi, Jizi and others were also surprised.

Master Wen is loyal. There is no doubt about his ability and divine power.

Yuan Futong and other seventy-two princes in Beihai said frankly that they were just some residual forces of the ghost side. It was not difficult for Wen Taishi to defeat them. Then he supervised the army and the people. As long as it took a few years, he could steadily expand the territory of the north.

Why does the king think such a good thing is bad?

Is there a problem?

"Please make it clear to the king. The old minister doesn't understand why yuan Futong of Beihai can't open up territory after expedition."

Wen Zhong said.

Su Ze said slowly, "because now is not the time for the grand master to go out to fight. The disaster is coming. Shangtang must find a way to spend it."

Wen Zhong hurriedly asked, "king, where did the disaster come from?"

Prime Minister Shang Rong knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please give me instructions, but what disaster will it cause if our government affairs are not handled properly? If so, it's all the fault of ministers. Please deal with it! "

"No, it's just that I have a glimpse of the secret."

Su Ze said: "someone moved the Qi of Shang Tang, which made me Shang Tang to fight with princes for years. When the Qi ran out, the Shang Tang would be over."

This

What are these?

Prime Minister Shang Rong and Asia xiangbigan are scholar bureaucrats. Although they have heard of fate, they have never taken it seriously. The same is true of Wucheng King Huang Feihu.

At this moment, they all feel a little uneasy when they hear the king solemnly say something like "Qi number". Shouldn't the king delay national affairs because of some divination words?

Only the grand master who was born as a gas refiner heard Zhong's face change and bowed down and asked, "Your Majesty, where do you start? Who is it that says I'm angry? "

Su Ze frowned slightly, his eyes crossed with Wen Zhong.

Others don't know, but Wen Zhong receives Su Ze's thoughts.

"Empress Nuwa said that there are still 28 years of national fortune in Shangtang, which should be killed in my hands."

Wen Zhong was surprised: first, he was surprised that the king had succeeded in refining Qi quietly and mastered this kind of mind connected magic. Then, he was surprised that empress Nuwa told Shangtang Guoyun!

If this is true, then there is a great disaster.

At this moment, the monarchs and officials in the Longde hall meet each other. I don't know what will happen in the future... At this time, the world is prosperous and there is no sign of subjugation. What is the reason for the subjugation?

It's really strange!

Wen Zhong asked and got Su Ze's answer. He frowned and thought hard. He didn't make a sound again.

Prime Minister Shang Rong asked softly, "Your Majesty, I heard what the Grand Master asked..."

Su Ze shook his head slightly. Master Wen also waved his hand and motioned Shang Rong not to ask more.

Seeing King Zhou and the grand master fighting, Shang Rong, Bigan, Huang Feihu and others looked at each other and couldn't speak for a moment.

After pondering for a long time, Wen Zhong said, "king, Yuan Futong and other princes of route 72 still need to calm down as soon as possible."

"If there is chaos in the country, it will be difficult to deal with it; Moreover, Yuan Futong and other ghost cavalry plundered vertically and horizontally. If we let it go for one year, our Shangtang will lose a lot of popularity, population and property. If we let it go for ten years, Yuan Futong's power will increase ten times or 20 times, and Yuan Futong will devour 200 princes and Northern Bo princes in the north. "

"At that time, Yuan Futong will lead the cavalry straight to Chaoge. I may have to deal with Yuan Futong for my vitality and luck!"

Su Ze felt some truth after hearing this.

If a nomadic nation is allowed to plunder for ten years, the strength of the enemy and ourselves will fundamentally change. It is difficult to say what yuan Futong will look like at that time.

Moreover, this kind of looting will not only bring great harm to the people, but also damage the popularity of the people, so it is bound to be unable to continue to indulge.

"What the Grand Master said is polite."

Su Ze said, "well, let the northern Marquis Chonghou Hu and the Western Marquis Jichang send troops to fight against Yuan Futong. The imperial court sent grain transportation officials to deliver grain and grass, and sent some capable people and different scholars with powerful magic powers to fight against Yuan Futong as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Wen Zhong also knew that there was no hope for opening up the territory, and he was inevitably disappointed.

However, Prime Minister Shang Rong reported: "Your Majesty. Although Chonghou tiger is in the north of the town, his kindness has not been brought to the people. I'm afraid this trip will not extend the prestige of the imperial court; It's not as good as Xibo Jichang, who has been known for his benevolence and righteousness. If your majesty pretends to be Xibo Marquis and orders the two armies with a festival axe, you can capture yuan Futong to correct his crime and do not hurt the people. "

Su Ze said with a smile, "prime minister, I don't know how cruel Chonghou tiger is; I know how Siberian marquis is praised. "

"Two people, one Beibo Marquis and one Xibo Marquis, have the same status. How to manage your subordinates should not have been a matter for you to discuss; From the perspective of the imperial court, whoever makes more contributions will be rewarded, and whoever is obedient will be rewarded. This is the policy of the imperial court. "

"Few people can rule the world by listening to the words of ministers, but ministers can't listen to the words of foreign ministers. Can the prime minister understand this?"

Prime Minister Shang Rong was surprised when he heard the speech and bowed his head: "I know my crime. Please punish me."

However, the grand master Wen Zhong frowned and looked at Shangrong, Bigan, Weiziqi, Jizi and others - the king didn't speak, but he didn't find their mentality problem!

The officials should be loyal to the king. How the king gives orders to the princes, harsh or generous, should be the king's and officials' one mind to deal with the princes.

Shang Rong, Bigan and others judged the moral level of the princes in the four towns, thinking that the Marquis Xibo was of high virtue and could entrust important tasks. The Marquis Beibo lost his virtue and had to be led by the Marquis Xibo.

What is this behavior? Ultra vires and dereliction of duty!

It is the king's exclusive power to judge the four Town princes and how to appoint or restrict them; To decide who to delegate power to by virtue of moral character and personal preference is not a qualified minister and a complete dereliction of duty.

Why didn't you find out before? There's something wrong with these people?

Wen Zhong is a little confused.

In fact, it is not only them that have problems, but also the whole book of the romance of the gods, including the author Xu Zhonglin. Xu Zhonglin lives in the late Ming Dynasty, where the party struggle is the most intense. He is a southern scholar who lives in the headquarters of the Donglin Party. His ears and eyes are all means to scold and stink the political enemies with moral problems, Therefore, the book "the romance of gods" is really with the style of "moral gentleman" of the Donglin Party.

For fellow believers, the "moral character" advocated is ability; It is also reasonable to spread rumors about King Zhou's transfer of flowers and trees and the arrangement of the tyranny and cruelty of the past dynasties.

It happened that Xu Zhonglin copied some poems in journey to the West. Her writing was quite ordinary and her moral character was not very good.

He is a perfect scholar under the command of the Donglin Party.
