Liu Xin was surprised and a little excited. Some of the long-lasting longings in her heart were once again stimulated by Gao Pragmatic's words. But when she was about to ask for details, Huang Zhiting's voice sounded at the door at the right time: "We don't want to talk about it." Has there been any change in the funds of Jiangnan wealthy families in Beijing? Why are you discussing the imperial examination?"
Gao Pangshi and Liu Xin turned around and saw that Huang Zhiting was the first to arrive. Gao Pingshi sat still, but Liu Xin stood up to greet her and said, "It's a coincidence that Madam has come. The topic just went off topic, and now it's time to get back to the topic."
Huang Zhiting nodded, and seeing that the others hadn't arrived yet, he asked, "Master, you went back a little early today. What, is the matter urgent?"
Gao pragmatically said: "The situation is a bit complicated. Let's talk about it together when everyone is here. What is Yuan'er doing today?"
"Memorize the information." Huang Zhiting said: "I asked him to memorize all the personnel files of the main generals of the garrison military headquarters and the main generals of the garrison towns - to the standard level."
"Marked to the first level?" Gao Pragmatic was a little surprised and said, "Isn't it too strict? It's okay for generals and colonels of this level to become familiar with them gradually in the war."
Gao Pragmatic's words naturally make sense. The organization of the garrison from top to bottom is army, town, association, standard, battalion, company, platoon, and shed, with a total of eight levels. Roughly speaking, an army is naturally still an army, a town is equivalent to a division, and an association is equivalent to a brigade, so the standard is a regiment.
Under the normal establishment, the garrison has two regiments in each town, with 4,038 officers and men in each regiment; there are two regiments in each regiment, with 1,756 officers and soldiers in each regiment. (Mabiao has slightly fewer officers and soldiers, One thousand one hundred and seventeen people); each bid is divided into three battalions, each battalion has four companies, each company has three rows, and each row has three sheds...
In other words, a town under normal organization has four horse marks, but in fact this is not necessarily the case, because different towns will sometimes be equipped with additional reinforced troops. For example, one or two horse marks may be strengthened in a town, or It ranges from one to two cannon marks.
In southern Xinjiang, there are actually not many reinforcements for horse markings, but it is very common to strengthen artillery markings. If there is no need for too precise statistics, a town's garrison can be calculated roughly according to five markings.
Not counting the Dingnan Palace garrison and the Nanyang Islands troops that are still being adjusted to this day, the six major garrison forces that have already formed a fixed establishment have a total of 22 towns, which means there are 110 targets.
However, this is not over yet. The "main generals at the first level" are not just Biao Tong. In principle, there are five people at this level, namely Biao Tong, Xuan Zheng, deputy Biao Tong, chief of staff, and quartermaster.
In Jinghua's garrison system, there are five chief officers at the four levels of army, town, association, and standard, and the functions of each level are similar. Taking Biao as an example, Biao Tong is naturally the chief military officer, Xuan Zheng ranks second in charge of political work, deputy Biao Tong assists Xuan Zheng in taking charge of military discipline, the chief of staff is responsible for intelligence collection and assists Biao Tong in formulating combat plans, and the quartermaster is responsible for logistics-related work and controls engineers and soldiers. .
This calculation is scary, because there are not only five chief officers at the first level, but also five for the army, town, and association. If the layers are added up, Gao Yuan will have to memorize the information of hundreds of people.
To be honest, Gao Pragmatic himself can't even master it to this level. He can only master it up to the town level, and the further down to the association level is already very scattered.
After all, his network of contacts in the officialdom itself is already astonishingly large, and there are many generals in the imperial army that he has commanded that he needs to know, plus important figures in Mongolia, Jurchen, Korea, Japan, and chieftains of the southwestern provinces. Wait, no matter how good his memory is as the top pick in the Sixth Score, he doesn't have a cloud disk in his head. How can he keep stuffing character information into it?
However, Huang Zhiting did not agree with her husband's words. She shook her head and said: "Since Yuan'er may be the Minister of Military Order in the future, if you can't even remember the first-level officer, how can you do it? This is the minimum standard. , can’t drop any more.”
Gao Pragmatic could only smile bitterly. He glanced at Liu Xin, but Liu Xin directly looked away and said clearly, "This is your son's business. If you can't stop it, why do you still need me to help you stop it?"
But despite this, Gao Pragmatic also understood Huang Zhiting's thoughts. As the saying goes, if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. Since Gao Yuan is the undisputed Marquis of Nanning, these people certainly need to be controlled by him.
Gao Pragmatic does have prestige and can be confident that he does not need to master the standard level, but Gao Yuan does need to go deeper - unless he also establishes enough prestige through various achievements including war in the future.
The three chatted for a while, and the participants finally arrived, and Gao Pragmatic officially announced the meeting. He first described today's situation, and at the same time raised his own questions and asked for opinions from everyone present.
Gao Mo and Gao Guoyan each knew a lot about related matters. They looked at each other and Gao Mo chose not to speak yet, so Gao Guoyan said: "Brother Yu is responsible for the problem of capital flow. After reporting the situation to Rixin, the bank We have verified it again internally. Now we can say with certainty that the families involved this time are indeed the Shilin family, and almost none of the wealthy Jiangnan businessmen whose families are not deeply involved in politics have participated."
In fact, he did not express his position, but once again emphasized the identity of the participants.
Intelligence Secretary Gao Qi was more proactive this time and said: "Can we confirm one thing first, that this incident is a purely political incident and has nothing to do with the commercial competition between Jinghua and local wealthy businessmen in the Jiangnan area? "
Gao Wuzheng said: "If this matter is just because some people want to assassinate the emperor's legitimate son and continue to keep the emperor's eldest son from ascending to the throne, then this assumption is indeed true. But I don't understand the risks and benefits of this matter Is it really equal?"
"Why not be equal?" Gao Wuruo said: "If they can turn the tide under such extremely unfavorable circumstances and continue to push the eldest son to sit on the throne, this is not the icing on the cake, but a timely help. Then they will be counted among them in the future. When I am old and dead, as long as I wait until the eldest son of the emperor succeeds to the throne, can I still forget about their children and grandchildren? But don't forget that they are all from a family of officials, and their kindness to their children and grandchildren is also part of their strength."
But Gao Wuzheng objected: "Wuruo, what I'm talking about is whether risks and returns are equal, and what you said only focuses on returns, but does not mention risks. Besides, even if you talk about returns, they are future returns - but at present What about the risks?
Needless to say, the crime of assassinating the emperor's legitimate son is so serious. As long as the matter is exposed, not to mention those who were directly involved will not be able to escape. Even their families may not be able to afford it. One by one, no one will be spared.
This crime is tantamount to treason. Once their evil deeds are exposed to the world, their status as civil servants cannot protect them. Not to mention the execution of a whole family, even if the nine clans are implicated, it is probably not unusual. Wouldn't they know about such a huge risk? Now that you know it, why do you do it? Is it just for the care that the eldest son of the emperor may give after who knows how many years? "
Gao Qi also echoed Gao Wuzheng's point of view, saying: "That's right. This benefit cannot be obtained immediately, and it is hard to say whether it can even be guaranteed to be obtained.
Not to mention whether the eldest son of the emperor is a person who repays his kindness, even if he is, then when the eldest son of the emperor becomes the prince, when can he inherit the throne? What if it takes another twenty or thirty years? Can they be sure of what will happen over such a long period of time? "
After hearing this, Gao Wuruo felt that it was reasonable, so he did not insist on his previous statement, but murmured: "That means there should be a more urgent reason for them to do this...but what could it be? Woolen cloth?"
Liu Xin put forward an idea and said: "Everyone, if we want to talk about urgency, what is the most urgent threat to them at the moment?"
Huang Zhiting was suddenly startled and glanced at Gao Pragmatic: "These Jiangnan official families are almost all disciples of Xinxue. For them, the biggest threat is probably that your husband is about to succeed as the first assistant!"
Gao Guoyan said "Ah" and widened his eyes and said: "Yes, if this is a political incident, then for these official families in the Jiangnan area, Rixin's succession as chief minister is indeed more important than the emperor's legitimate son becoming the prince. Much more urgent!”
The more he thought about it, the more reasonable he felt, and he immediately continued to add: "Look, even if the emperor's legitimate son is appointed as the prince, he is still in his infancy after all, not to mention still far from adulthood, and he is even in the stage of being ready at any time. At an age when you might die young!
Under such circumstances, if those people really had the guts to plot against the emperor's legitimate son, what would the impact be if they carried out these plots a few years later?
However, Rixin's succession as first assistant was different. Shen Changzhou had been the first assistant for so many years, but he could not suppress Rixin. After Shen Changzhou, the first assistant was changed to Wang Shanyin (Wang Jiaping, a native of Shanyin County, Datong, Shanxi). During this period, Zhao and Shen were not able to suppress Rixin, and even the strength of the Xin School was at risk.
From their point of view, the situation has reached this point and is irreversibly bad. If Wang Shanyin resigns at this time and directly makes Rixin the first assistant, what will Zhao and Shen think? ? In my opinion, they will just think that instead of just waiting for death, it is better to give it a try! "
Gao Mo, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, saying: "But there is still a question here: If they feel that the most urgent threat is that I will succeed as chief minister, then they should first find a way to prevent Wang Yuanfu from resigning. Isn't that right? The most worry-free way? What are you going to do to assassinate the emperor's legitimate son?
As long as Wang Yuanfu does not take the initiative to resign, considering his age, he can still be Yuanfu for at least seven or eight years. Moreover, no matter how you say it, the Korean War was won under the leadership of Wang Yuanfu, and he also had a share of the credit. With this credit, if he doesn't resign, who can force him to leave office? "
Gao Mo only talked about Wang Jiaping but not Liang Menglong, firstly because Liang Menglong was old, and secondly because Liang Menglong was from the Real School. If Gao Jingshi himself planned to be the first assistant, it is not surprising that Liang Menglong was willing to "self-sacrifice" to make room for Gao Jingshi.
Gao Qi pondered: "Is it because these people think they are not sure of persuading Wang Yuanfu?"
"Maybe there is such a consideration." Although Gao Mo seemed to agree, he shook his head and said: "But we can't forget that persuading Wang Yuanfu not to resign is only one of the ways. There is also a more direct way - making the master unable to Succession.”
Everyone disagreed with this statement. Gao Guoyan shook his head: "What are you talking about? Can they succeed if they want Rixin to give up? Why should Rixin listen to them?"
However, Huang Zhiting frowned and said, "Could Uncle Mo be trying to say that instead of assassinating the emperor's legitimate son, it would be more effective to assassinate the master directly?"
Gao Mo shook his head and said: "How strict the Ministry of Internal Affairs has done to protect the master. Even if those people don't know the details, they have at least heard about it. I don't think they are so conceited that they think they can assassinate the master."
"That……"
"This matter does not necessarily require assassinating the master." Gao Mo suddenly appeared a little uneasy, and his tone became a little nervous, saying: "For example, the security around the master and the wife is far inferior to that here. .”
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked and opened their eyes wide - yes, it goes without saying that the security around Gao Pragmatic was very tight, maybe even the emperor was not as good as him.
However, the security around Gao Cai and his wife is far inferior to that of Gao Jingshi, and no matter which one of them gets into trouble, Gao Jingshi will probably have no choice but to resign immediately and return to his hometown in Xinzheng, where they will marry and observe filial piety. How dare he Regardless of filial piety, he stayed in the capital as the chief assistant!
Thinking of this, everyone almost unanimously expressed that they must immediately improve the security level for the two elders. But after Liu Xin waited for them to finish speaking, she reminded: "Uncle Mo's words are reasonable, but they still haven't explained one thing clearly, that is, they are currently targeting What is the reason for the assassination of the emperor's legitimate son?"
Yes, Li Wenjin was bribed by them to inquire about the security of Kunning Palace. It seems that even after talking for so long, he still hasn't found a reasonable explanation. If what they are most worried about is actually Gao Pragmatic's succession as chief minister, then assassinating the emperor's legitimate son will not affect Gao Pragmatic's succession. What's the point of those people doing this useless thing?
Gao Qi thought for a while and said, "Could it be that they were making an attack in the east and attacking in the west? What my nephew meant was that they might have expected that we would know something about their actions, so they might want to deliberately divert our energy to a doomed thing. Let us put all our energy into protecting the emperor's legitimate son or uncle.
After achieving this goal, they then used dead men in the family or bribed criminal thieves to find ways to assassinate their uncle and great-uncle in order to force their uncle to resign. Ding You? "
Although everyone felt that this statement seemed to make some sense, they also felt that the reason did not seem to be sufficient. However, for a while, no one could think of what was wrong.
Gao Pragmatic shook his head at this time and said: "Let me give you a little reminder: Li Wenjin has two major characteristics: First, he is bold. Relying on his special status and his contribution to the Queen Mother, the Emperor and his mother, he is a man who dares to do anything no matter what big disaster. A person who breaks in forcefully; secondly, he is extremely greedy for money, he can be said to be licking honey with a knife, and he is extremely greedy for profit, but at the same time, he has a huge appetite, and petty profits cannot buy him."
"The master is saying that those people must have spent a lot of money to bribe Li Wenjin..." Liu Xin said thoughtfully: "And since they spent a lot of money, how could it be just a false shot?"
This truth is very simple and everyone can understand it at first glance, but in this case things will be in a dead end again.
"This is too audacious." Huang Zhiting frowned: "Do they really plan to assassinate the emperor's son and the two elders at the same time, push the emperor's eldest son to the throne, and force the master Ding You to reverse the unfavorable situation of the Central School in one fell swoop?
But if this is the case, wouldn't the emperor feel that things are too strange? Your Majesty is the Master of Zhongxing Ming Dynasty, and he is not so easy to deceive. If the Emperor's suspicion is aroused, aren't they afraid that the incident will be revealed and they will be defeated overnight? "
Gao Guoyan thought about it and said, "I agree that it cost a lot of money. More than 1.4 million taels of silver. Twenty years ago, that would have been 30% of the annual income of the Ministry of Household Affairs, enough to make a fortune. Officials across the country receive a full year's salary.
Such a large amount of money was transferred so intensively from Jiangnan to the capital, which shows that it was needed urgently. From a time point of view, this money basically started to be transferred from various places in the south of the Yangtze River to the capital a month ago... Everyone, when was it a month ago? That was the time when the emperor ordered Rixin to return to Beijing to "report his duties". I never believe that there is no connection between the two.
Just now Rixin said again that Li Wenjin regards wealth as his life. As long as he is given enough money, he dares to do anything. In this way, these two things can be connected...
Let me see if we can first conclude that after the emperor ordered Rixin to return to Beijing to report on his duties, those people immediately determined that buying Li Wenjin must be done. Of course, they also knew that this would require a large amount of funds, so they With this change in funds? "
Gao Guoyan's statement was quickly recognized by everyone. After all, although this is just the tip of the iceberg of the whole matter, it can also be regarded as the first step in peeling off the cocoon. Only when the first step is determined, subsequent derivation can continue without risk of deriving new errors based on wrong conclusions.
The first step of inference was completed, and everyone continued their efforts. Liu Xin said: "My wife mentioned just now that these people may be planning to take a two-pronged approach, but this may arouse the emperor's suspicion. In my opinion, this point must be judged based on the current predicament of the Heart School before a more accurate conclusion can be drawn.
As we just mentioned, the Xin School has gradually declined over the years due to the increasing contributions made by the master. Not only has its voice in the court been reduced year by year, but its appeal among the people, especially among scholars, has also become less attractive than before.
Under such circumstances, it is self-evident how those noble families who have studied mind learning for generations would view practical learning and the master. There is no retreat in the dispute over orthodoxy. If you retreat, it will be lost in the world, and generations of inheritance will become a joke! With all due respect, such hatred can be described as irreconcilable.
They once thought they could compete for orthodoxy through normal competition. Looking back at the early days of Shen Changzhou's administration, although he had already made some achievements at that time, his official position was not high and his qualifications were limited. Therefore, although the Xin School was hostile to the Wo Shi School at that time, everything he did still maintained the bottom line.
I remember that at that time, the two factions were competing for military glory. Shen Changzhou and others placed their hopes on Li Chengliang, intending to compete with the Wo Shi School by recruiting Li Chengliang as a direct general of the Xin School. When Li Chengliang finally resigned as Commander-in-Chief of Liao due to the defeat of Jianzhou and returned to the capital to take care of his old age as Ning Yuanbo, the battle ended with the failure of the Xin School.
After that, the Heart School began to waver, but at that time, the master continued to work hard and continued to promote various practical reforms. From the opening of the feudal vassal to the large household department, all the wealth and power of the world was in the palm of his hand. From then on, the treasury was increasing day by day, and the armaments were renewed, so he won the victory over the Yuan Dynasty, allowing the emperor to comfort his second ancestors in the Ancestral Temple.
After that, Shen and Wang became even more powerless against the master. Shen Changzhou himself had no fighting spirit. Although Wang Taicang was unwilling to fail, he could not stir up big troubles and could only make some petty actions.
Even because the two of them were unable to reverse the decline, someone within the Xinxue School walked away alone, pretending to be a Japanese pirate attack, and intensifying the mutiny of the Cao Army. After this matter was exposed, although Shen and Wang were not investigated in detail because of their qualifications as emperor's teachers, they could only quietly step down and withdraw from the imperial court.
However, his two retirements were so unexpected that Zhao and Shen, who succeeded him, were not qualified candidates for ministers in the eyes of the world: one was considered incompetent, and the other was generally recognized as having a bad reputation. The Xin School has now been in the cabinet. In this process, he lost the ability to compete with the real school.
Let me ask, if you were Zhao Zhigao or Shen Yiguan, what else could you do to reverse this obviously huge decline?
The methods of struggle that had been tacitly approved in the officialdom had been tried many times by their predecessors. Facts have proved that they are ineffective and they are no match for the master. So now it's their turn, can they still rely on those 'reasonable' means to act? "
Liu Xin's words hit the nail on the head. Although the process she mentioned was a highly pragmatic way of winning in a row, but now it was necessary to bring in the thinking of the important officials of the Heart School to deduce their actions, which made everyone confused. I feel extremely depressed, and at the same time I realize how much pressure Gao pragmatism has put on the Heart School over the years.
As a result, the scene was very gloomy and heavy for a moment, and everyone knew what this meant - the Heart School had nothing to lose at this point, and it would naturally become extremely dangerous, and any sinister means could be used.
"Haha, it sounds like it's my fault." Gao pragmatically smiled and said something that seemed to be an unintentional joke to lighten the atmosphere.
However, no one laughed. Instead, Huang Zhiting said with some worry: "Xin Xue has its foundation after all. If they really think that they have been forced to a dead end and start a trapped beast fight, this will not be a good thing for the master." . I thought... Why don't we just strike first and plan a good plan to kill all the top leaders and important families of the Xin School in one fell swoop to avoid future troubles!"
After all, she is the decisive "Her Majesty the Baroness"! Huang Zhiting's first reaction when faced with this situation was not to ease the conflict or make political compromises, but to do nothing without stopping and just launch a big attack to completely eliminate his opponents.
However, this time, without waiting for others to express their opinions, Gao Pragmatic directly vetoed: "Absolutely not."
Huang Zhiting asked: "Why not?"
Gao pragmatic shook his head, sighed again, and said: "If the Xin School is completely destroyed, then our school will really be the only one in the court and no one can control it. Madam, what do you think the emperor will think about this? ?”
"At least so far, the emperor has unparalleled trust in me..."
"So what?" Before Huang Zhiting finished speaking, Gao Pragmatic shook his head again and said seriously: "I am me, and the Shi School is the Shi School. Even if the emperor has unparalleled trust in me, he will never do it in his life. They suspect that I am disloyal, but so what? I will eventually become an official one day, and as long as the Real School can make the government run smoothly, it can be passed down from generation to generation.
But the problem is that what a king is most worried about is that there is only one voice in the court, because if this happens, then if this voice suddenly feels that it does not need the emperor to be superior, then is it necessary for the emperor to exist? "
Huang Zhiting stopped talking and just sighed deeply.
Liu Xin said: "Having said that, if I want to show goodwill to Zhao Zhigao, Shen Yiguan and others under the current situation, I think it may be too late... Their plan is probably already on the line. hair."
As if he was lost in thought as usual, the fingers of Gao Pragmatic's right hand began to tap the armrest rhythmically, but he did not make any statement.
"The old slave has something he doesn't know whether to say or not." Gao Mo suddenly said.
Gao pragmatic still attached great importance to Gao Mo, an old man who had followed him for nearly thirty years. Hearing this, he stopped thinking and nodded: "Uncle Mo, please speak."
"The old slave has been in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs these years, and he is used to seeing vicious and vicious people, so I just thought of a possibility..." Gao Mo frowned deeply and said slowly: "Madam just now said, if those people really A two-pronged approach is needed, and I am afraid that the emperor’s wisdom will cause suspicion. This old slave is convinced.
So, is it possible that those people don't just want a two-pronged approach, but are determined to pursue a 'three-pronged approach'? "
"Hiss—" Everyone present gasped in unison. This idea is really amazing. What is a "three-pronged approach"? What is the third "tube"?
Regicide?
Regicide!
Not to mention other people, even Gao Shijian, who had long been accustomed to maintaining the "prestigious demeanor" and being able to maintain his expression "without changing his expression when the mountain collapsed" in various situations, suddenly changed his expression.
He was indeed deeply shocked, and the first reaction in his heart was: Grass mud horses, these people are really crazy enough to dare to kill the king, right?
But immediately his reason told him: This is so damn possible!
Why is it possible? Because as long as "regicide" is regarded as a part of the Heart School's plan, then the entire plan, which originally seemed to have huge flaws, will suddenly make perfect sense!
Take a look at this “three-pronged approach”:
The first one: let the emperor's legitimate son die young. So the crown prince's canonization ceremony came to nothing, and the Ming Dynasty once again entered the situation where the king had no legitimate son. At this time, the only adult prince was the eldest son. If something unexpected happened, he would theoretically be the best candidate for the throne - after all, as the saying goes, "the country depends on the eldest king."
The second task is to ask Gao Pragmatic to resign and Ding You. In the eyes of the outside world, the most critical reason why the emperor had been able to drag on the dispute over the country's foundation for so many years was that Gao Pragmatic, the leader of the Pragmatic School, had always insisted on waiting for the empress to give birth to the emperor's legitimate son.
"Now" the emperor's legitimate son "gained and lost again." If Gao Pragmatic is still in the court, given his current prestige and possible successor status as chief minister, if he still insists on establishing the legitimate son, the battle over the country will continue. The stalemate continues.
But what if Gao Pragmatic suddenly has to return to his hometown of Xinzheng and Ding Youshou Zhi? Without the high pragmatism that is the absolute core, which elder of the Practical School can unify the thoughts of the entire faction?
No, because the real leader of the Pragmatic School whose status is second only to Gao Pragmatic is actually Liang Menglong, and it is known to everyone in the world that Liang Menglong is about to retire. Liang Menglong is followed by Zhou Yong, but in the eyes of many people, Zhou Yong, the pavilion boss, is a pick-up. His prestige is not to mention high and pragmatic, even if it is much inferior to Liang Menglong, it is impossible to unify pragmatism. school of thought.
Having said this, we need to recall one thing: when Gao Pragmatic did not clearly state that he must establish a direct lineage, there were many people within the Practical School who agreed to establish a lineage! So now that Gao Pangshi and Liang Menglong are no longer in the court, the only person with the highest status in the Shi School is Zhou Yong, whose prestige is almost as bad as Zhao Zhigao. Can this kind of thinking still be expected to continue to be unified? Obviously not!
Therefore, Zhu Changluo, the eldest son of the emperor, would definitely be elected or at least tacitly approved to become the prince by almost all civil and military officials of the dynasty. At this time, the emperor had left the dynasty because of his pragmatism and became isolated and helpless. In order to revive Mingzhu's good reputation, he probably had no choice but to agree to make the emperor's eldest son the crown prince.
So now the matter reaches the third stage: regicide! Once the eldest son of the emperor becomes the prince, the war over the country will be over. However, the plan of the Xin School cannot be suspended, because Gao Pragmatic is only going to Dingyou to guard the system, and it is not that he will never use it. He will return to the court again in twenty-one months.
Gao Pragmatic's prestige and strength are obvious. As long as the emperor is still the Wanli Emperor when he returns to the dynasty, he will be the same as Gao Gong when he returned to the dynasty. He will never be moved to the position of junior assistant according to "conventional practice". It is very likely that he will be in power when he comes back.
If this is the case, even if the eldest son of the emperor becomes the prince, it is not safe at all - well, everyone knows that His Highness the prince has been in poor health since childhood. If he dies before the emperor, it will be God's will!
Besides, since the Queen is capable of giving birth, what if she gives birth to another legitimate son at this time? The possibility of an accident happening to His Royal Highness has simply skyrocketed!
Therefore, during the twenty-one months of the highly pragmatic Ding You Sect, the Xin School must allow His Highness the Crown Prince to sit directly on the dragon throne! In other words, regicide occurs within these twenty-one months!
As long as the regicide is completed, all the troubles will be solved. The new king was supported by the Xinxue School who tried to turn the tide. Gao Pragmatic, the unparalleled sacred scroll in the world, was gone forever. After taking the throne, the new king must enrich the cabinet and inner court with "his own people"...
In this case, wouldn't it be possible to immediately "pop up the court" and the previously arrogant Practical School be suddenly knocked into the dust?

ps: I wrote half of this chapter yesterday, but I couldn’t read it out of chapter, so I thought I’d just finish writing a complete plot and then post it together, so it became today’s two-in-one chapter.
