Occupy more than half?
Hearing this, Empress Liang Zhao frowned slightly. She had also investigated Zhang Qi's situation.
This person has served as the governor of Qingzhou for many years. Before that, he had also served as the governor, county magistrate, and magistrate of various counties in Qingzhou. He has a deep and intricate foundation in Qingzhou. As the saying goes, one hair can affect the whole body. Zhang Qi said the opposite. Once most counties responded, the remaining counties had to respond.
Counties and counties are connected to each other, and there are passages between cities.
As long as Zhang Qi is willing, he can easily control the main road, prevent the imperial army from entering, and delay time.
As time passed, the final result was that the entire Qingzhou rebelled together.
"What's the explanation?" Empress Liang Zhao knew that the method just now could be used, but the effect may not be good. Although the dragon guards were the emperor's personal guards and had a very high status, they were single in Qingzhou after all. He is weak, even if he holds his own token, the prefect of the county may not necessarily listen.
There is a saying that a general will not accept military orders abroad.
These people are the masters who don't let go of eagles when they see rabbits. He has just ascended the throne and does not have enough prestige. I am afraid that he will not be able to control them.
If violent means are used to coerce him, it may cause chaos and benefit Zhang Qi, the governor of Qingzhou.
Sigh... If my father can tell me the whereabouts of the other guard, and with their help, the incident in Qingzhou will naturally be solved... Empress Liang Zhao sighed in her heart, as a member of the royal family, she has naturally heard of the other guard. The name of the Guard.
Regardless of the level of secrecy or strength and cultivation, the power of that guard was superior to that of the Dragon Guard.
It can be regarded as the most core force of the royal family.
But before his death, the late emperor was already unconscious. Until his death, he did not tell the empress Liang Zhao the whereabouts of the mysterious guard.
As an emperor, she actually doesn't even know the name of the mysterious guard?
This is undoubtedly a great irony.
"The middle plan is to attack, and the lower plan is to use troops. What's the answer to the attack? What's the solution to the attack?" Empress Liang Zhao continued to ask about the way to break the situation.
Zhou Zhenwen calmly replied: "Strike is to use the information gap to complete the layout, so as to achieve the effect of blocking the enemy, controlling the enemy, and even defeating the enemy."
"oh?"
Empress Liang Zhao was immediately interested and asked: "What is the information gap?"
"The so-called information gap means information asymmetry. According to the current speed, it will take about fifteen days for the news to spread from the capital to Jiaozhou, even if the news is rushed. In other words, if the Jiaozhou prefect has the intention of treason, he only needs to wait until the news reaches Jiaozhou If we raise an army before the news reaches the capital, we can catch the imperial court off guard."
"That's the advantage of information asymmetry."
"At the beginning, the imperial court first discovered that the Jiaozhou prefect was disobedient, and it was the imperial court that took the initiative. But once the other party noticed it, and the time it took to deliver the news on the road, the Jiaozhou prefect had enough time to mobilize troops and horses, control the situation, and let the The situation became uncontrollable."
Zhou Zhenwen explained: “This is the information gap.”
"That's it." Empress Liang Zhao instantly understood why Qingzhou immediately rebelled just after Feng Qian, the supervisory censor, arrived in the capital to report the matter.
The most critical reason is poor information.
"What should we do if we want to solve the problem of poor information?" Empress Liang Zhao continued to ask.
She had no doubt about Zhou Zhenwen's abilities.
But Empress Liang Zhao still hated his corruption and clique for personal gain.
Zhou Zhenwen smiled slightly, pointed to the map of the thirteen states in the world, and said: "The bustling world is all for profit, the temples and camps are all for fame, and nothing in the world can escape the word fame and fortune."
"This game should be broken with fame and fortune."
Empress Liang Zhao was also shocked when she heard these words. These two sentences penetrated people's hearts and spoke to their hearts.
If this sentence came from an octogenarian, Empress Liang Zhao would not be surprised. However, it is really shocking that this sentence comes from Zhou Zhenwen, a scholar in his thirties.
Zhou Zhenwen did not know the shock in Empress Liang Zhao's heart and continued: "There are thirteen states in the world. It seems that the prefects, governors, and vassal kings of each state control everything. The imperial court is aloof and supervises everything. In fact, from ancient times to the present, those who control the world are all He is a member of a noble family."
"Whether it is Jiaozhou or other states and counties, the Zong family is spread all over the world. They are the local overlords and local tyrants. There is a saying that a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake. They are the local dragons entrenched in various states and counties, even in counties. The governor is unwilling to offend them."
"If they want to stabilize the economy and people's livelihood of a state, a county, or a county, if they don't take action, the court alone cannot stabilize the situation."
Listening to what Zhou Zhenwen said, Empress Liang Zhao's face darkened. She also knew something about this matter, but she didn't expect that the situation in various places was so serious?
This is undoubtedly a leech lying on the people and sucking blood!
When Emperor Taizu and Emperor Wu ruled the world, didn't they already eliminate the cancers of these aristocratic families?
Why...
Zhou Zhenwen glanced at the empress Liang Zhao and seemed to guess what she was thinking: "When Taizu broke away from the throne and established the throne, he did almost eradicate the aristocratic families in the world, but it is impossible to eradicate the aristocratic families. They just changed from one group of people to another. "
"Aristocratic families are like grass. Wild fire cannot burn them out, but they grow again when the spring breeze blows."
"After becoming an official, after making great achievements, who wouldn't support his family?"
"After descendants, aristocratic families will naturally form. This is naturally bred by the times and cannot be avoided."
"Problems of aristocratic families exist in all dynasties, not just in the Great Wilderness."
"Continuing with the topic just now, how to use fame and fortune to break the situation."
"This key lies in the hands of the noble family."
Empress Liang Zhao was also a smart person, and she immediately guessed Zhou Zhenwen’s intention:
"Master Zhou, do you mean to use the aristocratic family and promise huge profits to let them restrain the local governor and prevent large-scale unrest?"
"Of course."
Zhou Zhenwen nodded slightly: "The aristocratic family may not be able to directly mobilize the local garrison, but they can influence the garrison generals and other county prefects, making them wary and willing to surrender."
"On the one hand are the imperial court and aristocratic families, on the other hand are the rebels who are destined to perish after the rebellion. Which one is more important, which one is weaker, which one is stronger, can be known at a glance."
"They are all smart people and know how to choose."
"As for how to satisfy them, it depends on His Majesty's methods."
Hearing this, the empress Liang Zhao also nodded slightly. If she wanted to satisfy the family, she would definitely harm the interests of the court.
Whichever is the lesser of two evils.
How to choose, how to choose, this is the matter of the empress Liang Zhao.
Zhou Zhenwen is just the chief minister of the cabinet. After all, he is not the prime minister. There are some things that he can just point out and give suggestions. There is no need to say too much.
"This matter is related to the secrets of the imperial court, and I hope that Grand Master Zhou will keep it secret." Empress Liang looked after Zhou Zhenwen and reminded her.
"Of course." Zhou Zhenwen bowed his hands and said, "If there is nothing important, I will leave."
"Yeah." Empress Liang Zhao said softly and watched Zhou Zhenwen leave.
After the other party left, Empress Liang Zhao frowned slightly, as if she was recalling something?
She quickly turned around, looked at the map of the thirteen states in the world, and murmured: "Jiaozhou only has ten counties... Among the thirteen states in the world, only Qingzhou has 14 counties... What a Zhou Zhenwen..."
"I still underestimate you..."
