Chapter six hundred and forty seventh key figures
After Feng Deyi saw Lu Junxian away, he sat alone in the dim candlelight and fell into deep thought.
He had a strong ominous premonition. Although he repeatedly comforted Lu Junxian and showed confidence in the handling of the Boling crisis, he was actually very uneasy and felt that the difficulty of handling the crisis was very high. Not only was there a Guanlong people like Duan Da staring at him, but also a large number of traitors bought by the northern desert captives to spy on one side. The wealthy families in the northern Hebei region did not have much room for maneuver under the attack of "opponents" inside and outside, and it was difficult to achieve the best of both worlds.
If the wealthy families in northern Hebei want to resolve the crisis quietly, eliminate all the conspirators, and continue to hold the unblocked conference and win the favor of the Holy Lord, it would be too arrogant and would probably backfire and end up shooting themselves in the foot.
Therefore, under the current situation, the best of both worlds does not actually exist. The wealthy families in northern Hebei must make a decision, resolutely open the crisis, use the courage of a hero to cut off their arms, and strive to minimize the losses. However, this cannot guarantee that the Holy Lord and the Central Government will not retaliate, will not kill chickens to warn monkeys, and will not use bloody means to deter the traitors on the border. Once the Holy Lord and the Central Government target innocent local heroes, monks, believers, and barbarians, and start killing, although the wealthy families in northern Hebei will not suffer too much, the losses in related interests will be too great, and the interests at the doorstep will not be preserved. This is not only a great shame, but also a heavy blow to the dignity and prestige of the wealthy families, and the invisible losses are immeasurable.
Feng Deyi is certain that when Lu Junxian reported to the Cui family of Boling and Liu family of Zhongshan, the choice of these two wealthy families must be the former, and they must think that they are absolutely sure to achieve the best of both worlds, and they must underestimate the huge risks contained in this choice.
Like Lu Junxian, they underestimated the serious political consequences of "Song Zixian assassinating the Holy Lord" and the reason is that they all misinterpreted the purpose of the white-haired thief's sudden disclosure of this important secret. They all took it for granted that this matter was fake, it was the white-haired thief's intentional frame-up, and it was the white-haired thief who deliberately provoked a fight between the two major wealthy families of Jibei and Youyan in order to gain a foothold in Yanbei. Since the assassination is fake, the situation is controllable and the harm is limited. It cannot be true or fake, and it cannot be true. Even if someone with ulterior motives uses this matter to crack down on the wealthy families of Jibei, the wealthy families of Jibei are not vegetarians, not soft persimmons, and will not be slaughtered.
However, Feng Deyi believed in the white-haired thief, and he concluded that the matter was true. Since it was true, the white-haired thief was not framed, but helped each other with righteousness, and wanted to save the two wealthy families of Jibei and Youyan in danger. Although the wealthy families in Jibei and Youyan were in conflicts due to regional interests, they were brothers who were in unison. At the critical moment, they were still cooperative and were unanimous to the outside world. Therefore, the white-haired thief's move was equivalent to selling a great favor from the Lu family of Fanyang, which could effectively ease the conflict between the Youyan wealthy family and the Hebei wealthy family and lay the foundation for working together to deal with the upcoming Civil War.
But the white-haired thief is not only trying to promote the unity of local forces in northern Xinjiang, but also strives to ease the tension between the Holy Lord, the center and local forces in northern Xinjiang.
The direct consequence of Song Zixian's assassination of the Holy Lord was to provoke the struggle between the Holy Lord, the Central Master, and the Hebei and Youyan wealthy families.
There are no Shandong people in the central core level, which itself shows the problem, and shows that the Holy Lord is quite wary of Shandong people. In this way, the Holy Lord is basically surrounded by Guanlong people and Jiangzuo people. In order to consolidate and strengthen their own power, they will inevitably work together to prevent Shandong people from entering the core decision-making level. Therefore, the "recession" of Shandong people in the supreme power of China-Turkey becomes inevitable. The less political discourse power, the more they suffer in the distribution of power and wealth.
The distribution of power and wealth is one. With less power, less wealth. Therefore, the anger of Shandong people can be imagined. The conflict between Shandong people and Guanlong people has deepened, and the cracks between Shandong people and Jiangzuo people have become increasingly larger. Although the overall trend of the political situation in China and Turkey is that Shandong people and Jiangzuo people have joined forces to fight against Guanlong people, Jiangzuo people always want to benefit from fishermen and are happy to see the two tigers fighting each other. Therefore, the conflict between Shandong people and Jiangzuo people is becoming increasingly fierce, especially the successive failures of the Eastern Expedition.
Later, Hebei and Youyan were no longer "transfused blood" for this war, but were crazily "sucked blood" by this protracted war. The consequences of "sucking blood" can be imagined. The conflict between the two sides is no longer a conflict of interest, but a life-and-death struggle. In this case, if the Holy Lord and the Central Committee have to launch a third Eastern Expedition and a war between the north and the south, then what will happen to Hebei and Youyan be self-evident. The great price they paid can be imagined, and the small rewards they received are even more ruthless?
After the Eastern Expedition began, why did the rebellion concentrate in the north and south of Henan, especially in Hebei and Qilu? The reason is that this war has no restrained "blood-sucking" on them, and officials forced the people to rebel. Of course, this "people" is not ordinary civilians, but local aristocratic groups that control resources and wealth. The central government has already curbed and attacked them, but now it is still trying to suck blood and squeeze them dry. It is unbearable. At most, it can be defeated and died together.
Due to the current urgent Chinese and foreign crises and the embarrassing domestic political situation, the Holy Lord and the Central Committee must try their best to win over the Shandong people and unite the forces of the Shandong people and Jiangzuo people to curb the fierce political counterattack of the Guanlong people. The most important of them is to ease the tension with the Hebei wealthy families, Youyan wealthy families, and Qilu families. But at this critical moment, Song Zixian assassinated the Holy Lord, and the result was that the relationship was broken. Both sides had no trust and had resentment towards each other. This was just right, and they fought and had no room for maneuver.
Therefore, this plan of disagreement is too powerful. Once this storm roars, not only will the wealthy families in northern Hebei suffer severe damage, but it will also inevitably affect local forces such as Youyan and Dai Heng in the entire northern border and surrounding areas, and eventually both sides will suffer losses. As a result, the domestic and foreign situations are increasingly unfavorable to the Holy Lord and the Central Committee. The last ones are not only the conservative forces dominated by the Guanlong noble group, but also the northern desert captains who are eyeing Zhongtu and are always ready to invade south. It is not difficult to imagine its seriousness.
The more Feng Deyi thought about it, the more he felt "headache" and it felt even more difficult.
The white-haired thief is a key figure that cannot be ignored. Anyone who treats him as an ordinary rebel is very wrong. Now even Feng Deyi asks, why does the great secret of "Song Zixian conspiracy to assassinate the Holy Lord" know nothing about the wealthy families in northern Jilin know nothing, but the white-haired thief who came from afar know? Where did the white-haired thief know? Could it be that he has a thousand miles of eyes and ears? Or, during the years of his disappearance, he has secretly arranged a lot of eyeliners inside and outside the Great Wall?
Song Zixian is in Tang County, Boling County, and is working hard to prepare for the "Unblocked Conference" to "cater" to the Holy Lord. Therefore, the wealthy families, local governments, monks and nuns in northern Jilin and Youyan will all donate generously and actively support them. After all, it will be beneficial to everyone to win the favor of the Holy Lord. On the way back to Kyoto, the Holy Lord and the Central Committee must attend this "Unblocked Conference" to demonstrate the benevolence and righteousness of the supreme rulers who hold Tianxian.
Heart. Once someone attacks the Holy Lord and assassinates the Holy Lord at this time, the result can be imagined. Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine how many eyes are staring at the organizers of the conference, fearing that accidents will occur during the preparation process or during the conference. However, the accident still occurs after a long period of secrets. It is just incredible that the person who discovered that this "accident" was actually a "outsider", a thief who had just turned from Qilu to fight thousands of miles away. This is incredible.
Feng Deyi suddenly had the idea of seeing the white-haired thief when he saw the white-haired thief, but then he abandoned the absurd idea. Two strangers had no trust, but what could the spokesperson talk about sitting together? Nothing could be discussed. Duan Da was purely helpless and was in a hurry to seek medical treatment. Fortunately, the purpose of the white-haired thief was also forcing him to negotiate, so the white-haired thief took the initiative to invite him, and the person who was in charge of the negotiation was Li Zixiong. The reason was that there was a basis for trust between Li Zixiong and Duan Da. If it were replaced by the white-haired thief to negotiate, how could Duan Da believe his words? From this, it was inferred that even if Feng Deyi made an "amazing move" to secretly meet the white-haired thief, the person he saw must be Li Zixiong. Take a step back and say that even if the white-haired thief came forward personally, the white-haired thief would not reveal anything substantial to Feng Deyi, and it would be a waste of time to see him.
The person who tied the bell is required to untie the bell. Feng Deyi concluded that he had no way to solve the crisis, and the Cui family of Boling, Lu family of Fanyang and Liu family of Zhongshan were arrogant and the countermeasures he had come up with were very likely to shoot himself in the foot. Therefore, if you want to solve the crisis in the shortest time, you have to ask for advice on the white-haired thief, or even seek help from the white-haired thief. Otherwise, why did the white-haired thief suddenly reveal this important secret? There is no silver here.
Feng Deyi thought of Pei Shiju.
After repeated analysis, deduction and weighing, Feng Deyi resolutely made a decision and asked Pei Shiju to help. Pei Shiju is still in the palace and should not have set off to the northwest, because this trip west has been long and has a great mission, so it is impossible to leave as soon as possible.
Feng Deyi immediately wrote a letter at his desk, focusing on the white-haired thief, and gave a detailed account of the rapid changes in the battle situation in the Shanggu and the sudden Boling crisis. A strong hint was revealed between the lines that the white-haired thief was the key figure back then.
Once this secret is exposed, it will inevitably involve and implicate Pei Shiju. Pei Shiju has too many political enemies, and the reason why he cannot stand in the center depends on the trust of the Holy Lord in him. Once the trust crisis breaks out, Pei Shiju's personal wealth and life are a trivial matter. The ongoing adjustments of the national defense and diplomatic strategies will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and the crisis faced by the Holy Lord and the Central Committee is getting bigger and bigger.
In order to prevent problems before they happen, Pei Shiju must prepare for the future and must firmly grasp the initiative. The most urgent task is to immediately verify whether the white-haired thief was the key figure back then.
