Under the current situation, it is important to maintain a peaceful North-South relationship. For the "peaceful faction", it is urgent to take time to resolve the Dongdu crisis and the Northwest crisis. This is the prerequisite for stabilizing the domestic political situation and restoring national strength. For the "pro-war faction", it is urgent to take time to create conditions to launch the third Eastern Expedition. As long as the Eastern Expedition is won, Sino-Turkish will concentrate on fighting against the Northern Seal and gain an advantage in the upcoming North-South War. Once the Holy Lord and the Reformers win the North-South War, the political crisis will inevitably be reversed. Therefore, both sides have a consensus on the Northern-South War and are willing to quickly consolidate and strengthen the Northern-South War and use force to maintain temporary peace in the North-South relations.

Hebei people saw this clearly and keenly grasped the "critical points" of the Holy Lord and the Central Committee, and killed one blow.

What should I do next? Since I have fallen into a trap, I can't stop the "steps" of King Qi and the white-haired thieves from going north. The crisis in the northern border is about to break out. Of course, we have to compromise. It is better to "disconnect" than to "block" than to "disconnect", and "confrontation" is worse than to "cooperation". After all, maintaining a peaceful North-South relationship is beneficial to all forces in China and abroad. "Cooperation" is imperative and the general trend is.

But what is the result of "cooperation"? Can the ambitions of the northern desert for Central China be curbed and weakened? How long can the peaceful North-South relationship last?

If the war between the North and the South breaks out quickly, or even breaks out within the next one or two years, it will definitely be a situation where both sides suffer and both lose money and burn them together, which will be detrimental to all forces in China and abroad, including the Hebei people who set up this layout, will also suffer greatly.

After all, all forces from China and abroad are now exhausting all their means to carry out political "blacklist" with the "vaguely visible" war between the North and the South.

The northern desert exposes "fangs and sharp teeth" to "black off" Zhongtu. Conservative forces with Xijing as their "base camp" "take advantage of the situation to rob" and blackmail the reformists. The Hebei people, the King of Qi, the white-haired thieves and other groups of "black and white thieves" "stab the knife in the back" and openly blackmailed the Holy Lord and the Central Committee. Even the Western Turks, who were thousands of miles away, took the opportunity to "add insults" and "knock" Zhongtu's "bamboo robberies."

Although the future is uncertain, the Holy Lord and the central officials are still full of confidence and are not defeated by the small setbacks in front of them. On the contrary, they become more and more courageous as they setbacks. The temporary compromise and tolerance are just to prepare for the destruction of the future. The winner is the one who laughs to the end.

The Holy Lord took the lead in breaking the silence, with a gloomy expression and saying, "It's just a group of unknowingly unknowingly mobs. Shanggu, Hejian, Yanbei, but there are soldiers in various places, panic, and what kind of morality is it!"

When the ministers heard this, they immediately understood. The Holy Lord was as decisive as ever. The reason why he summoned the important officials together was not to discuss any countermeasures, but to set a "tonal" and draw conclusions, so that everyone could follow the implementation and not have any more objections.

The Holy Lord disagreed with the incident of the white-haired thief in the north and south of Taihang. The "mob" was very low, and it was obviously not believed in local reports. In fact, in order to shirk responsibility, local officials often exaggerate and lie about military information in reports, mixed with a lot of "water".

Since it is a mob, a few small thieves are not worth mentioning, and the center should not and there is no need to intervene in the matter. This is a local affairs and should be handled by the local government.

The Holy Lord turned a blind eye, listened, and became an "ostrich", delegated power to the local area, and allowed the three counties of Zhuo County, Shanggu and Hejian to deal with it, but in fact, the one who fully handled the matter was Duan Da, the left-behind Zhuo County. The meaning behind this is very straightforward. The Holy Lord has a countermeasure and the specific executor is Duan Da, so others should not "intervene" and do whatever they should do. No matter whether you are a peace faction or a war faction, don't quarrel and waste time.

Seeing that the important officials had no objection, the Holy Lord continued, "I ordered the three counties to quickly eliminate thieves and maintain peace in the country. If there is any delay, severe punishment will be made."

Yu Shiji, the Minister of the Inner History, bowed to the promise.

Even if this matter is handled, the central core decision-making level will no longer discuss it. But the simpler the decision is, the more intense the political game behind it. Next, let alone the Sheng mainly pays close attention to the development of the situation in Yanbei and even the northern Xinjiang. Several other core officials should also start from their respective political positions and political interests, show their skills, and show their magical powers, and do their best to promote the development of the situation in Yanbei and even the northern Xinjiang in a direction that is in line with their own interests.

"There is another urge to the east capital." The Holy Lord said, "Since the navy has entered the east capital, don't be too slow. The imperial edict came to protect the other two general managers of Zhou Fashang, fight quickly and do not waste time."

Yu Shiji promised again.

"The overall situation in the Eastern Capital has basically been decided." The Holy Lord turned! Looking at Pei Shiju, his tone gradually became calm, "The most urgent task is to solve the crisis in the northwest. Can you save me?"

Pei Shiju bowed and bowed, "Master, the situation in the northwest is complicated, and it will affect the whole body. You should not make any decisions easily, so as not to be too hasty and aggravate the crisis. I intend to go to the northwest in person to deal with specific issues to ensure that there is no accident."

As soon as this statement was made, a group of important officials were surprised. The core and important officials of the central government rushed to the northwest. This is a major event for the country and is related to the interests of the country. This is the real move of the whole body.

In an instant, the important officials had various interpretations of Pei Shiju's journey westward, especially Su Wei, and his eyes immediately changed. Then the censor Pei Yun and the Inner Shishi and the Inner Shishi, Xiao Yu were also silent, with extremely complicated eyes. However, the Inner Shishi, Yu Shiji, the Inner Shishi, the Inner Shilang Guyi, and the Right Guard General Zhao Cai showed excitement. Obviously, they saw more benefits from it.

"Go to the northwest in person?" The Holy Lord pretended to be pondered for a long time, and asked, "What's the solution?"

Pei Shiju then told him in detail about his plan to travel west to win the strong support of the central core.

The core purpose of the strategy of traveling west is to consolidate and strengthen the alliance with the Western Turks, thereby forming a force to attack the northern desert and the enemy from both sides, so as to force the East and the Turks to compromise and effectively alleviate the current tense North-South relationship.

The real purpose of the strategy to travel west is to force Xijing to accept compromises with limited conditions in the east, so as to effectively alleviate the fierce conflict between conservatism and reform, and win temporary stability in the political situation between the two capitals.

If Pei Shiju succeeds in his journey west, the deteriorating domestic and foreign situations will be effectively curbed or even reversed, which will give Middle-earth valuable rest time and quickly restore the seriously damaged national strength. As long as the national strength is restored, Middle-earth will have an advantage in the war between the north and the south. Once the Western Turks are attacked by the Persians, it will be difficult to take into account both the beginning and the end, then Middle-earth can concentrate its efforts to fight the north, sweep the desert, and achieve great achievements for all eternity.

The ideal is "full", but the reality is "skinny". Whether it is the alliance between the Western Turks or the "harmony between the two capitals", they are all based on the large "resources" that are "tilt" towards the Western Xinjiang. Without this foundation and the supply of a large amount of "resources", even if Pei Shiju went west, he achieved his goal, and the hard-won situation was not maintained. It was short-lived and fleeting, and he would face a more serious crisis in the future, because Zhongtu did not fulfill his promise, and Dongdu also betrayed his faith and went back on his word. The result can be imagined.

Therefore, it is useless for Pei Shiju to persuade the Holy Lord to be alone. He must convince the entire central core layer so that all core officials can put the interests of Middle-earth and the Kingdom first, and sacrifice their own interests and their own group for this purpose.

On the third day of the August 19th, at dusk, Feng Deyi, a Neishishe, took the urgently drafted Pei Shiju's journey to the west and asked the Holy Lord to review it.

This was originally a matter of Yu Shiji, the Minister of the Inner History, but Yu Shiji "recommended" to Feng Deyi. It was obvious that the Holy Lord had the intention to "summon" Feng Deyi, but the Holy Lord did not say it for some reason, but only gave Yu Shiji a hint. Fortunately, the monarch and ministers had a "tact understanding". Yu Shiji understood it and understood it at one point.

Feng Deyi was nervous and waited for the verdict of fate.

After reading the memorial, the Holy Lord placed it on the table and looked up and asked, "Do you know the white-haired thief?"

Feng Deyi's heart suddenly contracted, and then beat wildly, making people suffocate, and suddenly felt dizzy. This question was not a casual question, it was full of strong murderous intent. Feng Deyi's reply was a little careless, and he might bring blood disaster to the Hebei rich families and himself.

"Master, the identity of the white-haired thief is far more complicated than expected." Feng Deyi did not hesitate and replied without hesitation, "But behind him, he must not be from Hebei, because Hebei people are also chess pieces on this game of chess, there is no doubt about this."

The Holy Lord frowned slightly and nodded slightly. The Holy Lord summoned Feng Deyi because he saw that the Hebei people were also "chess pieces" in this layout. In fact, after careful consideration of this matter, it is not difficult to find out that if the Holy Lord starts a killing of Hebei people and breaks with the Hebei people, who will harm the most? He will harm the most to the Holy Lord himself, and he will lose the support of the Hebei people. Who is the beneficiary? Only Xijing, only the Long people.

"Why are Hebei people willing to be chess pieces?" the Holy Lord asked, "What are your speculations about this?"

Feng Deyi could never mention the secret between the white-haired thief, Li Baiyao and King Qi. If this is said, the Li family of Zhaojun cannot explain clearly, and he will suffer. However, Feng Deyi also indirectly confirmed his speculation from Pei Shiju's reply to him. Feng Deyi had been a Neishishu who had been in the center for 18 years and had personally experienced one political storm after another since the end of Kaihuang. He knew too many secrets, including the small secret soldier who caused a "huge storm" in the Yulin incident.

Pei Shiju has been in the center for a long time and is in charge of diplomatic affairs for two generations of emperors. It is conceivable that he has many unknown "resources" in his hands. Among them, the Secret Army is one of the important resources that Pei Shiju can control. It is precisely because Pei Shiju has mastered the Secret Army that he has the advantage in information, is afraid of allies and political enemies, and can stand firm in the political storm.

Of course, Feng Deyi would not "betray" Pei Shiju, it was Yuwen Shu who wanted to "betray".

"Your Majesty, in Yulin, something happened to be a big deal..." Feng Deyi "stops when he clicked."

The Holy Lord was surprised. The sudden half-word of Feng Deyi opened his memory, and his face suddenly froze. Among the top leaders, political games are always fierce and cruel. Today, it’s better to be good for you and me. Tomorrow, they will be the enemy of life and death tomorrow, and they will draw their swords to face each other. Who dares to use the “North-South War” to conduct political blackmail? Who has the ability to use the interests of Middle-earth and the Kingdom to make a "bargaining chip" for political transactions? Only the top leaders.

In the Yulin incident that year, all the political tycoons of China and Turkey were involved. The old ministers of the late emperor and the confidants of the Holy Lord fought fiercely. The stubborn conservative forces and radical reform pioneers fought bloody battles. Even the first meritorious minister of China and Turkey, Gao Bing, died in it. It is thought that the struggle was fierce.

In that battle, the Holy Lord and the Reformers finally laughed, but didn’t it mean that the contradictions disappeared and the hatred disappeared?
