Chapter 1263 Emperor's Heart
It was a great thing that the village of the royal family's distant relatives was slaughtered. Even if they wanted to suppress the news, they could not be suppressed. It had spread in various cities and surrounding areas in just two days. With the warning from Xuan Qingwei, a panic and nervous mood began to rise in various places. It was not until the soldiers of the garrison and the soldiers of Xuan Qingwei began to cruise around.
But the word "evil" still comes out of the memories of the people everywhere, which always makes people uneasy.
Uneasiness is from the bottom up, and no one can be exempted. Whether it is the nobles who claim to be the top, or the real bosses in the temple, they can feel this sense of uneasiness from all directions. However, compared to the people at the bottom, their uneasiness is still unaware of. They just chat in private and don’t become panic.
Today is a monthly meeting. In addition to the normal affairs meetings in various places, some censors also jumped out to talk about the uneasy atmosphere of "evil spirits" that appeared in various places in the country. On the one hand, they criticized Xuan Qingwei for his position as a corpse. He could not be prepared for the evil spirits. He would only show off his power within the national system, and he would have loopholes in the evil spirits. Now even the village where the royal family lives is slaughtered, which is simply a mess of the world.
After finally getting Xuan Qingwei's painful foot, how could he not be too squirted? Anyway, evil spirits caused trouble and even slaughtered a village where the royal family was distant relatives. No matter what the reason is, Xuan Qingwei's criticism cannot be eliminated.
However, Pang Ban's appearance in the temple was still as dead as a dead pig, and the divine censors couldn't enjoy it. They hoped that Pang Ban would come to argue with them, but Pang Ban just didn't give him a chance, which was very annoying.
Of course, if you don’t have fun, you can still criticize others. For example, the Ministry of War that is hammered every day can’t escape this time and the censors will be beaten out. However, the people in the Ministry of War are not people who scold and don’t retaliate like Pang Ban. They are very lively when they are with the censors.
According to the censors, the Ministry of War asked all military forces to mobilize garrisons to assist Xuanqingwei. Is it useful to not talk about it, it will definitely give more panic in various places. Anyway, you can't find a reason to beat them?
But no matter how quarrels there are, Emperor Shu, who is sitting on the throne, has been expressionless and even has no attention. It seems that the quarrels below are not worth mentioning to him at all.
There are many people with good eyesight, such as the group of people standing in front of the train in the temple. Everyone can clearly see the expression on the emperor's face and understand that the emperor's mind is not on this, so no one is too excited. They are all guessing.
Guess, what is the emperor thinking?
Bai Changqing was guessing, and Cao Guobang was also guessing that both of them were thinking about the emperor now. I thought that the village of the royal family’s distant relative was slaughtered this time, and the emperor’s emotions would explode. During the dynasty meeting, as long as someone lit the fire, they could ignite it. No matter who it burned, they could take the opportunity to show it again.
Cao Guobang didn't want to give up his position. He had been in the career for decades before his senior year reached the peak and wanted to sit for two more days.
Bai Changqing wants to get to power. Although he is in cultivation, he is not young anymore. If he can go further, it will be an excellent opportunity for him to show his ambitions again.
Who doesn't want to be the best?
Pang Ban, who was standing in the corner of the front, was also guessing the emperor's thoughts, but he guessed more accurately. He knew that the emperor was not interested in the court meeting now, and he was probably on the copper strip he handed over before the court meeting.
The content on the bronze strip is the top secret of Xuan Qingwei, and it is also something the emperor has been paying attention to recently.
In fact, the emperor was indeed paying attention to the evil issues that censors in the temple, but the focus was completely different from the focus of censors.
At the beginning, the emperor's reaction was indeed furious when he received the news that the village of the royal family was slaughtered. He is now the patriarch of the royal family, and he is the leader of the distant relatives and the legitimate relatives. His family was naturally furious when they were slaughtered. So he went to the palace to question him overnight. However, the explanation he had been waiting for was that this incident was not accidental, but that the evil monks were planning to retaliate against Xuan Qingwei, and at the same time provoking the royal family to put pressure on Xuan Qingwei.
Although the emperor's character was as "very impatient" as Pang Ban said to Shen Hao, he was definitely very clear-headed and was definitely not a stupid person. So after listening to the explanation Pang Ban gave him at that time, he knew that the current situation was actually the same as the nature of the Jingji Dynasty's battle with the barbarians in the south. However, this time the opponent was replaced by an evil monk, and the battlefield was transferred to the territory of the state and in a dark corner.
In fact, Pang Ban was called to the palace overnight and was not scolded all the time, and the emperor was not unreasonable. After explaining it clearly, he still had to worry about Pang Ban's face. He just scolded him and expressed his dissatisfaction with a few words. He spent more time on the consideration of countermeasures.
"Anyway, I can't retreat!" the emperor said so. He also grasped the essence of the fight: whoever shows weakness during the stalemate will be defeated.
This concept coincides with Pang Ban's idea. Anyway, the missionary and clearance plans for evil monks cannot be compromised at all, and even if it is possible, it needs to be strengthened. This is the fundamental reason. Even if it will be difficult to endure in a short period of time, you must grit your teeth and persevere.
But the problem also came, that is, after "not retreating", what you need to face is the huge territory of the Jingji Dynasty. Even if you only guard against relatively densely populated areas, you will definitely not be able to rely on Xuan Qingwei alone. It is imperative to call on the power of the army.
However, it is difficult to build a complete military formation in advance by letting ordinary soldiers fight evil spirits and evil monks head-on, and it is difficult to build a complete military formation in the form of encounters. In this case, there will be great casualties.
So the Emperor Shu raised the Hongsha and ordered Xuan Qingwei to try out this time of evil cultivators, striving to speed up the analysis and reverse imitation of Hongsha.
Emperor Shu has always been concerned about the progress of Hongsha, and others can't guess his ideas. Even Pang Ban was curious about why the emperor cared so much about this, and even seemed anxious.
In the end, Pang Ban's persuasion was fruitless, and Hongsha was born early became a foregone conclusion.
On the night after the accident, Pang Ban presented the emperor with the strategy he had formulated overnight, and there was a detailed method for the army to mobilize garrisons to assist in defense. It seemed that the best method was not to use the main force of the Fourth Front Army. It also mentioned some of the previous statements about Hongsha at the temporary internal briefing meeting of Xuanqingwei, and focused on the objection of the Black Flag Camp of the Primrose Plan.
