Chapter 1263 Emperor Heart

The massacre of the villages of distant relatives of the royal family is a terrible thing, even if you want to suppress the news, it can’t be suppressed. In just two days, it has spread in various big cities and surrounding areas. Coupled with Xuanqingwei’s warning, there is panic and tension Emotions started to rise everywhere. It wasn't until the soldiers of the garrison and Xuan Qingwei's soldiers began to form formations and cruise around that they eased up.

But the word "evil spirit" still pops up from the memory of ordinary people everywhere, which always makes people feel uneasy.

Uneasiness comes from the bottom up, and no one is exempt. Whether it is those self-proclaimed high-ranking officials or the real bosses in the temple, they can all feel this sense of uneasiness coming from all directions. Speaking of the people at the bottom, their uneasiness can't be seen, they are just chatting in private, so they won't become panicked.

Today is the monthly Great Court Meeting. In addition to discussing the normal affairs of various places, some officials also jumped out to talk about the uneasy atmosphere about "evil spirits" in various parts of the country. On the one hand, they lashed out at Xuan Qingwei Even a mere evil spirit can't guard against a dead body. It will only show off its power within the state system, but it will be full of loopholes when facing the evil spirit. Now even the village where the royal family's distant relatives live has been slaughtered, which is simply ridiculous.

After finally getting Xuan Qingwei's sore foot, how can there be any reason not to spray it with enough energy? Anyway, the evil spirit caused trouble, and even slaughtered a village of a distant relative of the royal family. No matter what the reason for this kind of thing, Xuan Qingwei's blame cannot be escaped.

However, in the temple, Pang Ban still looked like a lifeless pig who was not afraid of boiling water, which made the eloquent officials unable to enjoy themselves. They hoped that Pang Ban would end up arguing with them, but Pang Ban just refused to give it a chance. Very annoying.

Of course, if you don't enjoy Xuan Qingwei, you can also spray others, such as the Ministry of War, which is hammered every day, but this time it can't run away, and the officials will pull out the hammer. However, the people in the Ministry of War are not the ones like Pang Ban who don't answer back when they scold.

According to the officials, the Ministry of War asked the various armies to mobilize the garrison to assist Xuanqingwei. Let alone whether it is useful or not, it definitely directly caused more panic in various places. Anyway, if you want to beat you, can't you find a reason?

But no matter how noisy the following was, the Emperor Shu sitting on the throne remained expressionless, and he didn't even pay attention to the following, as if the following quarrels were not worth mentioning to him at all.

There are many people with good eyesight, such as the group of people standing at the 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. are guessing.

Guess what the emperor was thinking?

Bai Changqing is guessing, and Cao Guobang is also guessing. Both of them are thinking about the emperor now. I thought that this time the village of distant relatives of the royal family was slaughtered, and the emperor's emotions would explode. As long as someone lights the fire during the great court meeting, it will explode. No matter who is burned, they can take the opportunity to show another Fan.

Cao Guobang didn't want to give up his position. He had been in the official career for decades, and he reached the top when he was old. He wished he could sit for two more days.

As for Bai Changqing, who wants to be in the top position, although he is still cultivated, he is not too young. If he can make a step forward, it will be an excellent opportunity for him to show his ambition again.

Who doesn't want to be an extremely human minister?

Pang Ban, who was standing in the front corner, was also guessing the emperor's thoughts, but he guessed more accurately, knowing that the emperor had no intention of attending the court meeting, but his heart was probably on the copper bar he handed over before the court meeting.

The content on the copper bar 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 concerned about the evil issues that the officials in the temple used to talk about things, but the point of concern was completely different from that of the officials.

At first, the emperor's reaction to the news that the villages of distant relatives of the royal family had been slaughtered was literally outrage. He is now the patriarch of the royal family, regardless of distant relatives or direct relatives, he is the head of the family, and his own family members were slaughtered, so he was naturally furious. So he sent Pang Banxuan, the commander of Xuanqingwei who was in charge of dealing with the evil affairs in the country, into the palace to question him overnight, but the explanation he got was that this incident was not accidental, but that the evil cultivator planned to take revenge on Xuanqingwei, and at the same time Provoking the royal family to put pressure on Xuan Qingwei.

Although Emperor Shu's character was "impatient" as Pang Ban told Shen Hao, he was definitely clear-headed and definitely not stupid. So after listening to Pang Ban's explanation at that time, he knew what was going on, and understood that the current situation was actually the same as the Jingjiu dynasty's war with the barbarians in the south. It's just that this time the opponent has been replaced by an evil cultivator, and the battlefield has been changed to a dark corner in the country's territory.

In fact, Pang Ban was not always being scolded when he was called to the palace overnight. The time spent on the consideration of countermeasures.

"Anyway, there is absolutely no way to retreat!" The emperor said at the time. It also grasped the essence of the struggle: whoever shows weakness during the stalemate will be defeated.

This idea also coincides with Pang Ban's idea. Anyway, the propaganda and suppression plan against evil cultivators cannot be compromised at all, and even needs to be strengthened if possible.

But the problem also followed, that is, after "not retreating an inch", what needs to be faced is the huge territory of the Jingjiu Dynasty, even if it is only to guard the relatively densely populated areas, it is definitely not possible to rely on Xuan Qingwei alone. of. It is imperative to mobilize the strength of the army.

But let ordinary soldiers go head-to-head with evil spirits and evil cultivators, and it is difficult to build a complete army formation in advance in the form of encounters. In this case, the casualties will inevitably be huge.

So the emperor brought up Hongsha, and ordered Xuan Qingwei to try it out during this time against the evil monks, trying to speed up Hongsha's research and judgment and reverse imitation.

Regarding Hongsha, Emperor Shu has always been concerned about the progress, and others can't guess his thoughts. Even Pang Ban is wondering why the emperor cares so much about this aspect, and even seems eager.

In the end, Pang Ban's persuasion failed, and Hongsha's early birth became a foregone conclusion.

On the night of the second day after the accident, Pang Ban Lianye presented the strategy drafted below to the emperor. There were detailed methods for the army to mobilize the garrison to assist in the defense. There is a way. It also mentioned some of Pang Ban's previous statements against Hongsha at the temporary internal briefing meeting of Xuanqingwei, focusing on the objections of Fang Heiqiying, who was in charge of the Primarch Project.

Before the Great Court Assembly this morning, Pang Ban personally delivered a copper bar to the emperor again. This time, the content of the copper bar was the emperor's most concerned about the use of Hongsha.
