Fast Travel: A Record of Unusual Creatures

On the third day of November, inside Zichen Palace.

Hundreds of officials gathered in the main hall of the government, shouting long live.

Immediately afterwards, according to the past practice, the head of the Ouchi said that if there was something to do, he would go to the court and leave the court if there was nothing to do.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report!
Seven days ago, the Governor of Xiping Mansion reported that nearly [-] members of the White Lotus Sect had gathered in Dongyang County to publicize the arrival of the Virgin Mary of the White Lotus. During the process, some unknown means were used to create a spectacle of hypnotizing and auspicious clouds.

In addition, Jiahe Princess is also involved.

Appears as the Madonna of the White Lotus.

And publicized that she could not bear the suffering of the people in the world, and could not bear the oppression of women who were sisters in the world.

Therefore, I made a special trip to the world to build a daughter country overseas.

She is the head of the daughter country, and all the domestic officials are women, but she does not discriminate against men. If she has the ability and agrees with the daughter country's policy of governing the country, she can also be an official.

She hopes that people with lofty ideals will join her in this grand event.

He also hopes that poor people will enter his daughter's country.

At the same time, it also promised many benefits, such as daughter country, where everyone can go to school and read for free.No matter men, women, old or young, disabled or not, they can be allocated [-] acres of land, exempted from all taxes such as agricultural tax and head tax, and only charged commercial tax, corporate tax, personal income tax, etc. Anyway, it means that the poor do not have to pay taxes.

Quite demagogic.

Now the entire Xiping Mansion is in complete chaos. Countless people dragged their families and left with their mouths. The White Lotus Sect also took the opportunity to attack the government office, all the brothels and tooth shops in the entire Xiping Mansion, and killed the old bustard, the head of the tooth shop, and even the master behind them. , took away all the lowly slaves.

It is estimated that nearly one-third of the accounts will be lost.

I heard that they are now preparing to attack Prince Xiping's Mansion.

The governor of Xiping Prefecture hopes to send troops to rescue. "

As soon as the court meeting started, the Minister of War suddenly dropped such a sensational news, and the entire court was silent for a long time. After a long time, Emperor Xuanwu calmed down a little, and asked with complicated emotions:
"It seems that what you guessed earlier was correct. This aunt of mine is indeed connected with the White Lotus Sect, and even has a high status. She has directly become the Holy Mother of the White Lotus.

We also want to build a daughter country!
But are you all trash?
A year has passed, not only did the White Lotus Sect not be wiped out, but my aunt was also arrested.

What have you done this year?

The White Lotus Sect is suppressing more and more, and there are more and more disaster victims in various places. Even the Holy Mother of the White Lotus has started to openly establish a country. Although she did not establish a country in our Dagan territory, it is also a provocation. What can you trash do? "

Speaking of this, Emperor Xuanwu, who had already stood up from the dragon chair, was undoubtedly very angry. The next second, he came down from above, pointed at Shangshu Hubu's nose and asked:

"Are the people of Xiping Mansion so easily bewitched?

Didn't you all say that the people are very unwilling to leave their homes, and I haven't heard of any major famines in Xiping Prefecture. How come so many people are willing to leave their homes and leave with the White Lotus Sect?
Isn't the magistrate appointed by you after review? "

Obviously, Emperor Xuanwu felt that the local people were so easily bewitched because of the local officials. However, those local officials were far away from the emperor and could not scold them for the time being. Naturally, they could only pursue the superiors who appointed or appointed those officials.

That is, the leader of the household department, the secretary of the household department.

Hubu Shangshu was silent for a while before raising his head and saying:

"Your Majesty, a few years ago, I submitted a memorial to impeach King Xiping for annexing the land and forcing the people to death. At that time, the late emperor was in charge of the country, so he didn't ask about this matter. He only instructed you not to ask about it. At that time, you were not involved in government affairs. Maybe you don’t know about it, so I’m here, and I’ll tell you again about the specifics of the impeachment I played at the time.

To put it simply, King Xiping annexed two-thirds of the registered land in the entire Xiping Mansion, and it was basically fertile land, and about [-]% of the remaining one-third of the land was in the hands of other officials or gentry.

The rest of the land is owned by ordinary civilians.

Neither officials, scholars nor King Xiping need to pay taxes.

Who do you think pays the annual tax?
Moreover, that data was already a few years ago, and I don't know how it is now, because I haven't continued to check since the first emperor approved Mo Yaoli. "

What the Hubu Shangshu said is very clear. The reason why the people of Xiping Mansion are so easily bewitched and leave their homes so easily is undoubtedly because they have no land of their own at all. It is the responsibility of King Xiping to investigate further. It's your father's responsibility to ignore it, it's your father, let him leave it alone.

No matter what happened, he couldn't blame him.

Why blame him?

Then, Emperor Xuanwu was really choked by these words at this time. After all, he couldn't accuse his own father in front of all the ministers, or call a deer a horse, unless it was all the fault of the Minister of Hubu, which did not violate the late emperor's will.

Insist on impeachment or continue to investigate?

In addition, the vassal kings in various places are indeed not easy to deal with, and it affects the whole body, so Emperor Xuanwu can only sigh in the end, pretend to be stupid and skip the matter, and then continue to discuss the suppression of the White Lotus Sect. thing.

As for matters related to King Xiping.

It was after the next court that several cabinet ministers and absolute cronies of Emperor Xuanwu were recruited, and they held a small meeting in private before finally making a specific decision.

What decision?just drag
A little delay in the process of suppressing the generals and soldiers of the White Lotus Sect, including the logistics and storage of military rations, etc. must be delayed a little bit, and it does not need to be delayed for too long. It will be dragged to the Xiping Palace to be attacked by the White Lotus Sect. It is best to be King Xiping After the whole family is killed by the White Lotus Sect, it will be fine.

When the time comes to destroy the White Lotus Sect, it will not only destroy the White Lotus Sect, but also get rid of King Xiping along the way.

This trash who sucked blood on the court.

Fill the treasury and increase the land of Huangzhuang.

Although Qu Jie didn't know the court's plan, she didn't want to break up with the court directly at this time. Then hundreds of thousands or millions of troops fought against each other, resulting in heavy losses in population, so she assisted the White Lotus Sect to destroy Xiping. After looting and annihilating all the officials, gentry, and even aristocratic families in the entire Xiping Mansion, they immediately withdrew with a large number of people.

At the same time, he successfully persuaded those people from the White Lotus Sect to withdraw with her, and continue to come in another place.

As for why the people of the White Lotus Sect listen to persuasion?
That is of course because when the White Lotus Sect cooperated with her to engage the Madonna of the White Lotus, Qu Jie gave the White Lotus Sect a big surprise. Although the White Lotus Sect actually has some unknown skills in this regard, those skills are obviously not The method is comparable to that of Qu Jie, after all, they don't even have illusions, they just engage in some fraudulent means.

Qu Jie's holographic projection, lotus-shaped aircraft and other things are taken out, which is simply a blow to dimensionality reduction.

So wait until the show of the Madonna of the White Lotus is over.

Although the White Lotus Saintess and the Elders are still in charge of the White Lotus Sect in name, their words are far less effective than Qu Jie's words. Let alone ordinary believers, even those high-level people with more pious beliefs are more listening to Qu Jie's words at this time , Removing the saint is a breeze.

Properly stealing chickens is not enough to lose rice.

Most of the power was directly taken away by Qu Jie.

In this case, Qu Jie's words are no different from the highest order, basically equivalent to an oracle, so naturally it is easy to manipulate the White Lotus Cultists to obey her orders.

After the work is done, the things and the population are quickly evacuated.

Continue elsewhere.
