Chapter 1354 Letting Go

In the office, Pang Ban was sitting on a chair, and Shen Hao was sitting opposite him.

After being silent for a while, Pang Ban said pointedly: "Do you think the storm caused by the evil monks is bigger now, or the storm of the national war between the kingdom and the barbarians when the late emperor was here?"

Shen Hao did not expect that Pang Ban would suddenly throw such a question.

After thinking about it carefully, Shen Hao replied: "This subordinate thinks that if you look at the situation, the national war with the barbarians caused even more turmoil, because it is related to the survival of the country and belongs to the long-term conflict between ethnic groups. Feud, there is no way out.

But if you look at the impact on the internal affairs of the country, the subordinates feel that the storm caused by the evil cultivator this time is even bigger. Because this time it's not outside, but hidden dangers permeating inside, such as malignant tumors in the body, which are not obvious at first glance, but kill people. "

Pang Ban nodded his head and said with a smile: "Your boy can always analyze the way. The term malignant tumor is new, but it is indeed just like the difficulties brought about by the evil cultivators. If something goes wrong, it will be a fatal end.

But where do you think this malignant tumor grew? Hands and feet, torso, or something else? "

Shen Hao glanced at Pang Ban, but this time he didn't answer directly, but said: "Your subordinates can't see it, but if you have a malignant tumor on your hands and feet, although it is painful, it won't kill you. As for other places, it's hard to say." .”

"Since the malignant tumors on the hands and feet are not fatal, it is the torso and the head. Although there are many things wrong with the trunk, it can be seen that it is not the main reason. There is something wrong with the head and the malignant tumors, which are messed up. "

Charades that aren't charades. But they tested each other clearly for the tacit understanding to be reached. That is, Pang Ban determined that the tense predicament of the current state comes from problems at the top of the old Jing Dynasty.

"My lord, I don't understand the reason for His Majesty to do this. How can anyone be so bound and open their heads to be slaughtered?" Shen Hao's face was full of doubts.

If you think about it normally, the emperor and Jing Jiu Dynasty can actually be said to exist as one. Every generation of emperors sits on the huge territory of the old Jing Dynasty, and enjoys the essence of tribute from the people of the world. As a reward, the emperor wants to give stability and livelihood to the people of this world. In this way, the world can be round and smooth, lasting forever.

But now someone is smashing the emperor's house, but the emperor not only does not stop it, but also binds the hands and feet of those who go up to stop it.

This is hard to understand.

When Shen Hao said this, Pang Ban also showed obvious depression on his face. Not to mention that Shen Hao didn't understand, how could he understand the emperor's series of strange actions?

"Now the Ministry of War and civil servants have been instructed by His Majesty not to assist Xuan Qingwei without authorization. Although His Majesty's intention has not been clearly stated, it is indeed to deliberately reduce Xuan Qingwei's strength, and the side is to make Xuan Qingwei further lose his opponent. The control and leading ability of the evil monks in this war.

Now Xuanqingwei has retreated to the surrounding areas of the major cities to stick to it, and the rest of the relatively distant places have been given full authority to the troops of the various armies. However, although the front army is strong in battle, it lacks too much experience in dealing with the evil monks and evil spirits. Not to mention the huge casualties, it cannot be effectively contained at all.

In fact, the army can be regarded as suffering. Wen Mingju, Minister of the Ministry of War, has hinted at his difficulties in this regard several times. I hope that Xuan Qingwei will not hold grudges. "

Speaking of which, Pang Ban raised his hand to stop Shen Hao who was about to speak, and continued: "I know what you want to ask. In the past two years, His Majesty has never wanted to meet me, and even the Grand Court will completely ignore everything Xuan Qingwei said. Seek peace and admonishment.

It's not that no one in the court has seen His Majesty's intentions. There are many people who have written letters. As far as I know, many civil officials, including Bai Changqing and Cao Guobang, have given their heads to His Majesty. Power" notes. But nothing happened. Several people were even punished for it.

Now the atmosphere in the temple is very strange, and the voices condemning Xuan Qingwei are getting more and more intense, but no one agrees except the officials. Even if those officials are well aware of their roles, their denunciations are becoming more and more perfunctory.

Alas, we are all waiting for variables to appear. Once the situation of the country starts to collapse from the bottom, His Majesty is afraid that he will face the wrath of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. "

The truth is like everyone is on the same ship, the emperor is the captain, the civil and military officers are the first mates, and the common people and soldiers are the crew members on the ship. In most cases, the crew and the first mate must obey the captain's dispatch and arrangement. But once the captain wanted to let the big ship hit the rocks, even the docile crew members would violently resist and fight for their own survival.

This is what Pang Ban said. He worried that once the people at the bottom level had a large-scale and out-of-control panic, the foundation of the ruling and opposition parties would be in turmoil. Outside, it will burn to the top of Jingjiu Dynasty's power.

"My lord, do you really have to wait until then? The subordinates are worried that something will happen again after waiting."

"Huh? Do you have other ideas?" Pang Ban naturally lost his mind after working hard. He intends to wait until the emperor has to make a change before moving. But he might as well listen to Shen Hao's thoughts.

More than two years of deep sleep did not make Shen Hao's brain rust, on the contrary, his thinking is now more lively than before. In addition, for the past two days, I have been thinking about the matter of cultivators from the evil sect, so as soon as Pang Ban finished speaking, many thoughts came to Shen Hao's mind, some of which were rejected by himself, and the remaining A few more simple refinements can be used as a possibility for the development of the event.

So Shen Hao sorted out his words and said, "My lord, where is the foundation of the evil monks in the past? Isn't it the villages and towns in remote areas? They rely on the people's information over there, and the people's wisdom is not very enlightened. The pretense is used to gain trust and then develop new blood.

But now if we retreat again and again and give up large areas, wouldn't it be that many new "remote areas" are erected in disguise? At that time, how can the people in those places be able to resist the blessing from "God" in the panic? Isn't that right in the path of the evil cultivator?

My lord, sickness comes like a mountain fall, and sickness goes like spinning silk. Once this "cancer" spreads all over the body, it will not be so easy to solve it at that time. "

After hearing this, Pang Ban stood up from the chair and paced back and forth.

The accident that Shen Hao mentioned could indeed happen, and from the standpoint of an evil cultivator, it is still a good game of elimination and play. Even cultivators from the evil sect can deliberately control the frequency and intensity of riots, keeping most of the real people in fear but not panic out of control, so as to keep the country's plan stuck in a position of no top and bottom, turn around and follow Shen Hao's instructions. The so-called development of "newcomers".

If you think this way, it seems that you really can't continue to wait like this.
