Chapter 101 Light and Shadow

At Hanshan Temple, Liang Miao and his wife are visiting and accompanying Zhang Ying to burn incense.

Liang Miao is Liang Sen's younger brother. He married Zhang Ying's niece at the beginning of the year, so he became Zhang Ying's niece and son-in-law, which is considered a family.

In the late summer, Liang Miao took his inner men to Xuzhou and arrived in Pei County before the Double Ninth Festival to reunite with his brother Liang Sen's family.

After the Double Ninth Festival, he returned to Hanshan a few days ago.

Because Zhang Ying has had a lot of things recently, it is not until today that he has time to take his niece and son-in-law to walk around Hanshan and take a look.

The ‘famous attraction’ Hanshan Temple is of course a must-visit place.

When Liang Miao and his wife were in Poyang, they heard a lot about Hanshan, and naturally they also knew the names of Hanshan Temple and Xu Xian Temple. Today, when they came to Hanshan Temple, they were shocked when they entered the door.

At this time, the group had already left the hall and returned to the two trees. Looking at the withered and prosperous statues and the old and small statues under the tree, they were filled with emotion.

Seeing that his niece was all focused on the two trees, Zhang Ying said to Liang Miao: "It's a turbulent autumn now. When you return to Poyang, you must make more preparations in case there is a change."

"If the situation is chaotic, remember not to be deceived by others. For example, organize a righteous army to quell the chaos. This is to take the risk from the fire of the people and take the risk in vain."

"Poyang cannot be in chaos, and the Li family cannot have any trouble. As long as Poyang is stabilized, Junhou will be much more calm."

"Once there is chaos in Jiankang, there will definitely be someone who will make a decision on Poyang. After all, Poyang is not the same now. You should listen more, watch more, talk less, and don't be profitable easily."

"Junhou has his own arrangements for how to deal with it. You just need to help Li Xin defend the industry, which is a great achievement."

"Don't be anxious to make contributions. Do great things. The future is long. As long as the king and the prince stay stable, you will have more opportunities to make contributions in the future."

Liang Miao is already in his early twenties and is no longer a child. He knows many things and knows that the safety of Poyang is very important, so he keeps it in mind for Zhang Ying's instructions.

Zhang Ying saw that everything he should have said had already been said, so he would not repeat it. After all, if the listener could listen, he could just say it once. If he couldn't listen, it would be useless to say it all day long.

It was sunny today. Zhang Ying looked up at the two trees in front of him, looked at the shadows of the trees on the ground, and said nothing.

The bell echoed in his ears, and the sound echoed in his ears. It was some of the words Li Li said when he was chatting with him before, fragmented, but still fresh in his memory.

"In all dynasties, coins were lost. The cost of coins was higher than the face value of the obtained coins, so the more you mint, the more you lose."

"And good money will be sold as copper materials by someone, so it is not enough to mint coins."

"But if the copper coins are pressed with hydraulic machinery and the copper content is appropriately lowered to ensure that the large-scale suppressed copper coins can effectively reduce the cost, that is, the cost is lower than the face value, then the dead knot will be resolved."

"Under this premise, the court minting coins and allowing copper coins to be circulated is profitable, and can make profits like taxes. This is the seigniorage tax, which can be like a snowball, growing bigger and bigger, forming a positive cycle."

"When the court has money, it can do many things, such as starting an industry and organizing young and strong land to open up land, but the first priority is to recruit troops and form a powerful central army, that is, the standing army directly under the center."

"With the army, first of all, check the land acres in Sanwu, and those who have hidden households, have no titles or military merits, must pay the land rent in full under their name, and young and strong must serve labor. Whoever dares to rebel will be punished."

"With abundant taxes and land rents, the power of the central government can be strengthened, and the wealthy land of the Three Wus can truly be the granary of the court, rather than decoration."

"If this can win over the Han clan martial artists, as well as the gentry with titles and the Han clans with abundant martial ethics, they will inevitably offend a large number of Gaomen and powerful clans in various places."

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, these people are not very loyal to the court. If they don't want to surrender, don't take up the place and not pay the rent."

"Will they hesitate to let the new army soldiers kill the rich and divide the land in the prosperous Three Wus? Their loyalty is the stable guarantee for the court!"

"The foundation of the imperial court lies in the army. With the army, the land that produces grain, and the industries that can make money, what are the local snakes?!"

"It doesn't matter if they don't come out to be officials. The court uses exams to select talents, take the Four Books and Five Classics, rather than metaphysics, so that the same talented and talented children of the cold have the opportunity to become officials and become officials in the open!"

"What kind of celebrity style, what kind of decoration, what kind of decoration, the face of the court, the army with strong soldiers, the people with no face, the abundant national treasury, what is the use of the romanticism of the gentry!!"

The deafening sound echoed in Zhang Ying's ears, as if he had seen a bright future, rather than a dynasty change without changing the soup.

That's right, since the Jin Dynasty, the changes of dynasties of Liu Song, Xiao Qi, and Xiao Liang were just changing the soup and not changing the medicine.

Just like a house has changed its owner, the people living in the house have changed, but the house is still the same house, gradually decaying and has begun to fall.

As Zhang Ying saw, the court was rotting, and the country was still full of hidden dangers. The chaos before the Hou Jing Rebellion still exists now. If this continues, it will only become more and more chaotic.

If the dynasty changes, it will only be a group of people in the royal family.

But "he" is different.

"He" has magical weapons, so the army can definitely win battles and stabilize the situation.

"He" has ambitions and ability, and when the large copper mine is officially mined and has great power, then a different new era may appear!

But because, but because...

Zhang Ying's breathing was a little rapid and he took back his thoughts.

A group of people came from behind, and it seemed that they were going to enter the hall to burn incense and worship Buddha. Zhang Ying turned his head and saw that one of them was Huang?

Huang? is Li Li's brother-in-law. He once had a hobby, which was to raise monkeys.

Zhang Ying and Huang? They exchanged their eyes and nodded at each other. Huang? They took the others around the two trees, and they were about to climb up the steps and walk towards the hall.

Zhang Ying knew that as long as the emperor was one day, Li Li could only be a loyal dog. However, Li Li's origin determined that Li Li could not realize his true ambitions.

So...

He knew that Li Li was the hope of the Huang family. The higher the Li Li's status, the higher the Huang family's status would be.

So, for that possibility, Huang? But hesitated and tried his best to cooperate.

Huang? The backs of the group disappeared from their sight, and Zhang Ying's thoughts returned to the past.

Li Li has been avoiding a question. Zhang Ying thought it was a waste of time. He decided not to hesitate anymore and must make Li Li unable to escape and make a decision.

So I made some arrangements.

Before, he knew that on the Double Ninth Festival, the North Leyou Garden in Jiankang City would be very lively, and there are two possibilities for the development of the situation.

First, the emperor was assassinated, but he was safe.

Second, the emperor was assassinated and died.

Therefore, his arrangement will always bring rewards, nothing more than whether the harvest is big or small.

On Double Ninth Festival, people use sugar water to write "The culprit kills the rebellion" on the tree in advance, which will attract ants to gather, so these four words appear.

He also forged the agency's transfer order and mobilized several troops to sway in the city, which could not only disrupt the backhand of the mastermind, but also cause chaos.

If the emperor is safe and sees the "prime culprit kills the rebels" and learns that there are abnormal movements in the army, he will inevitably be suspicious of the crown prince or prince and the royal family.

Either think that the crown prince is in a hurry to ascend the throne, or think that a certain prince or royal family is planning a conspiracy and putting it into practice.

In this way, the emperor would not consider the replacement of the position of governor of Xuzhou in recent years.

This is the minimum gain that Zhang Ying wants, but the development of things makes his gain more than that.

Because the emperor was assassinated.

Then, the prince, who has always been filial, must watch the night, so the person he arranged in advance would be able to release the red-faced monkey into Taicheng at some time that night.

These trained monkeys will follow the fragrance, and the former Shangshu Tailing Shi and the current eunuch Liu Hua will set up a "road" in advance to lead these monkeys to the palace parked in the coffin.

When a monkey enters the temple, he will look for the source of the musk smell. Then, the crown prince who often wears musk sachets on weekdays will become the monkey's first choice target.

However, monkeys do not know martial arts and cannot use daggers. How can they assassins?

During war, archers soaked the arrowheads in urine or feces. In this way, after being shot, the "feces poison" will enter the body, the wound will quickly become purulent, ulcerate, and the person will also have a high fever.

The high fever will not subside, and the last death will be so great that even Bian Que will not come back again.

Therefore, the claws and teeth of these "red-faced monkeys" can be applied to the feces in advance, in order to hold on and bite them, and the crown prince will be injured.

Then, because the "feces poison" enters the body through the wound, the crown prince's high fever will not subside. If the imperial physician's treatment is ineffective, he will die.

At the same time, the people he arranged to release monkeys near the Nanjun Prince's mansion for the night patrol and nearby residents to see, causing problems in the throne "brothers and brothers".

As a result, the water becomes more turbid, so that it is easier to catch fish in troubled waters.

This is his plan. I dare not say that it is 100% successful when implemented, but I still have a great grasp.

If not, it doesn't matter.

Now, it is not far from success. News from Jiankang said that the crown prince was ill in bed and could not see the matter.

Although the Nanjun Prince Xiao Dalian is not in Jiankang, the news of monkeys appearing in his mansion that night has spread.

Then, once the crown prince dies, the battle over the throne will gradually become fierce, and the battle between the prince and the royal family will break out.

It will even attract foreign enemies to take advantage of the situation. At that time, under internal and external troubles, wars will surround you and troubled times will come again.

At this time, a great hero who quenched the troubled times needs to come forward...

Several birds fell on the trees, chirping, interrupting Zhang Ying's thoughts.

He looked at the withering and prosperous things in front of him and the shadow of the trees, and strengthened his determination again.

Even in the bright sunshine, there are still dark corners.

Then, you are the great hero who bathes in the sun and pacifies troubled times.

I will be a poisonous snake lurking in a dark corner.
