There are Lin Li and the foreign tribes in the north, and King Xiangyang in the capital who occupies most of the country in the north. The south is also completely divided by other forces.
There is no identity jade pendant to prove that the one on Anshan Mountain is the new emperor. With King Xiangyang's caution, there must be pursuers everywhere in the north looking for him.
After thinking about it, Qi Yuan turned his attention to the south where there were many powerful forces.
Although there are many rebel forces in the south now, it will be easier to fish in troubled waters to raise his team.
But there is no trace of the way of heaven, and those who do small tricks will not just do small tricks. If the person behind the scenes wanted to deploy someone to seriously injure Qi Yuan, Ye Chen's identity would be excellent.
If Ye Chen really shows up, then Qi Yuan can guess the direction of the mission.
We have to rush to restore the country.
Qi Yuan flicked the fire and chuckled, continuing to think.
When he first did the task, he did whatever he wanted and Emperor Xuan planned for him. It is not an exaggeration to say that he put his life in his hands to put the country in his hands.
Although the Xuan Dynasty was just established at that time, it was only after Emperor Xuan's ten years of planning and cultivation in Qi Yuan's hands that it really settled down.
But at that time, he only used light taxes to improve people's livelihood, because he didn't care about the world, so he didn't care about it.
It was only because he felt that conquering the country was enough that he paid a little attention to Daxuan. At that time, the Xuan Dynasty was very frivolous because of the conquests.
Although the army was brave, food was also in short supply due to the war. Fortunately, there were no natural disasters. This allowed Qi Yuan's campaign to proceed on an even keel.
Otherwise, according to the way he relied on the thousands of tribes brought by conquests at that time, the expanded territory only needed a natural disaster and famine to destroy the foundation of this illusory prosperous age.
Qi Yuan naturally knew the hypocrisy, so he trained Ye Wusheng's wolf cub to be a truly cultivated and wise king.
With the assistance of Wang Huairen and others, and he was not stupid, it was only under the cultivation of self-cultivation that the prosperous age of Daxuan could truly take root.
Thinking of his thoughts at that time, Qi Yuan couldn't help but hold his forehead.
My arrogant self-confidence at that time seems a bit funny now.
At that time, he had just been reborn and was immersed in the joy of abandoning everything and starting over, so he didn't want to take anything to heart and just wanted to be a passerby.
I thought that when I returned to the lonely days I practiced in the past, I would be carefree and detached from the world.
But after experiencing these small worlds and knowing the truth, Qi Yuan is no longer the aloof Immortal Lord Leng Ran before.
Now I have more understanding of this world.
True detachment is not simply breaking away from everything, but being in the world of mortals and feeling grateful for all things but still not being bound by them.
Qi Yuan gathered his thoughts, threw some more firewood into the fire and played with the flames.
Nowadays, there is war, people are displaced, and most of the land is deserted. Without people to cultivate food, there will be a natural shortage of food.
In troubled times, people are like grass and grass, and their bodies are like duckweeds. Various anti-king and rebel armies were separatist, and there were wars everywhere. The fields were barren, and the households were few and far between.
Without the constraints of the imperial court, forced conscription and arrest were the norm.
What's more, there are many devouring forces among the forces. Today, they are soldiers of the Wang family and may be prisoners of the Li family when they wake up tomorrow.
War breaks out everywhere, one tael of food and one tael of gold, and there are many people affected by famine. It is even more realistic to change food in order to survive.
Just surviving takes all the energy some people have.
There is nothing wrong with wanting to live, but can people who have lost their bottom line of principles still be called human beings? It's just that in troubled times, living is already a luxury, and how many people still care about how to live.
In troubled times, the human world is like the 19th level of hell. This is not nonsense. This is also the reason why Ye Wenxi cannot get out of the nightmare.
Qi Yuan sighed and threw the branches in his hands into the fire.
Looking at the growing flames, Qi Yuan began to think about which hilltop in the south to grab first.
Those mountain bandits can be considered a small force. The Xuan Dynasty is now divided among all the heroes, especially in the south. Trying to tear a hole in a power is tantamount to snatching food from a tiger's mouth.
What's more, there is also the "orthodox" third prince Ye Chen who holds a jade seal. Qi Yuan does not intend to act prematurely because of the unknown situation.
At present, Qi Yuan is weak and weak. Although the country's situation is in chaos, it will soon reach a delicate balance. Under this balance, all forces will be unable to annex other forces and will inevitably move toward unity.
However, a stable alliance will not appear too soon, and a short-lived alliance is possible. Under this balance, the food problems caused by the war will also force the anti-kings to stop and save food.
After grabbing the territory, you also need to rest before you can truly hold it in your hands. By then, the forces of all parties are stable, and Qi Yuan will be even more unable to take action.
However, now that the rebellion has just started, King Xiangyang has proclaimed himself emperor, and rebels from various places are still in the stage of grabbing territory.
The bandits and the rebels were both forces that could be won over. Emperor Anjia's stupidity ruined the Xuan Dynasty and caused the people to become homeless.
But after all, the Xuan Dynasty had been a prosperous period for many years, and most of the emperors were wise, so the people still had strong support for the Xuan Dynasty royal family.
If Ye Chen's identity is really used by the people behind it, it will not be difficult to attract many rebels to support and submit with the restoration of the national flag.
People in troubled times can easily be satisfied as long as they are given a chance to live.
It's just that the interests of the army brought together in this way are complicated, and the support of those powerful families is also to fight for power.
Whether they support Ye Chen or the King of Xiangyang in Beijing, once they come to power, the family members behind them will become a new cancer.
They are nothing more than the next Emperor Xuan, but obviously they do not have the courage of the original Emperor Xuan.
Qi Yuan looked at the light coming from the cracks in the rocks and sighed, got up and walked towards the entrance of the cave.
Standing at the entrance of the cave, looking at the dark sky outside, smelling the water vapor brought by the forest mist in the mountains. Qi Yuan's mood gradually calmed down.
Now it is better to seize the opportunity and go south to grab the top of the mountain.
In this troubled world, Qi Yuan cannot save everyone, and what he has to do is not just save a few more people.
But to prevent so many people from dying in this world for a longer period of time.
888 This waste system should be trained. It has no adaptability at all. It has been a long time and it has not caught up.
Qi Yuan turned around and went back to the cave to pick up the baggage. At this time, An Jiu, who was unconscious, also regained his clarity. He opened his eyes and immediately clenched the weapon in his hand.
After quickly surveying the environment, An Jiu sheathed his swords and immediately packed up his things. His eyes paused for a moment at the water source on the stone wall.
An Jiu moved swiftly, and after finishing cleaning up, he squatted quietly in front of Qi Yuan.
"This subordinate has neglected his duty. It is not appropriate to stay here for a long time."
An Jiu has a gentle voice, and his appearance is not outstanding but he is still pretty. As a secret guard, he is pretty good at concealing his aura.
Apart from the murderous aura that burst out the moment he opened his eyes, An Jiu looked more like a gentle and reliable guard in front of Qi Yuan than a well-trained killer.
Qi Yuan nodded without saying anything and followed An Jiu silently outside the cave.
It's still early in the morning, the mountains are filled with morning mist, and the dew is deep, making it even cooler.
