After being involved in the officialdom of the Jingjiu Dynasty for a long time, Shen Hao's deepest understanding was: follow the trend.
No matter what you do, you must first clearly understand the general trend. If you go against the trend, you will probably not end well.
The biggest trend that Shen Hao has been riding on is actually the general trend of purges within the Xuanqing Guard, and it allowed him to seize the strong wind of the Black Flag Camp and rise to the position and power he has today. Of course, Bai Wu also played a very important role, which cannot be denied.
But now, a new general trend is slowly taking shape. This is also a deep feeling that Shen Hao has after coming out of the underground palace for two years.
In the final analysis, the internal purge of the Xuanqing Guard was initiated by the previous emperor, followed by the royal examination, and finally by the new emperor establishing his authority and purging the family members. This line of thought can be clearly continued.
Now after more than two years of evil attacks and repeated internal undercurrents, the past three years have been enough for the emperor to see clearly what the world under his control is like, and it is also enough for him to think about forming a world of his own. It belongs to the governing concept of today's world.
How to express your ideas? Naturally, we need a channel for uploading and issuing government orders that is obedient and not subject to too much influence from the outside world. The key starting point for this decree channel is the head of the civil service, the position of left prime minister.
This time point is actually very sensitive. It happened to be the time when the evil intrusion was basically over, and there were signs within the Xuanqing Guard that a new commander was about to be replaced. Moreover, the emperor's direct preference was still Bai Changqing, who had conflicts with Black Flag Camp. The meaning is already obvious.
Bai Changqing first broke away from the civil service group during Ye Lansheng's reign and joined Yang Shu, who was still the prince at the time. Later, he faced the fierce power of the Black Flag Camp without giving in when it came to his wife and children at home. The most important point is that Bai Changqing is also a person with no foundation among the aristocratic families.
Innocent, early to join the team, capable, less involved, and have a certain distance from all aspects. There is even a handle in the hand that can be taken out and used at any time.
Such a person would be an almost perfect candidate for an emperor.
Shen Hao did not need to consider the emperor's considerations on government affairs. He only needed to understand that the emperor was prepared to implement his own governing philosophy and did not want to be interfered by external forces. Anyone who dares to play tricks on this must be prepared to be crushed by the general trend.
That's why Shen Hao asked Wang Jian to directly give up all intervention actions against the temple.
You can observe in the dark, because this is your duty as a Xuanqing Guard to monitor the world, so there is no problem with this. But we can no longer just look at it and want to intervene as before. This is definitely a taboo after the emperor is ready to govern. Shen Hao didn't think about the last point before, but now he has woken up, otherwise it might be a hidden thunderbolt.
Of course, in addition to these conclusions that can be analyzed based on the information on the surface, there are still some things hidden in extremely secret places. Perhaps only Shen Hao can detect it.
That's why the emperor made the seemingly absurd decision to let Bai Changqing and the judge of the Central Academy of Sciences serve concurrently. There is also a possibility that he is grabbing time.
Who are you competing for time with? In Shen Hao's opinion, it was probably because Yu Qingchi was grabbing time.
Last time the emperor and Yang Xiusheng introduced "Yang Xin" to Shen Hao, Shen Hao had suspicions, because the performance of these two people was too deliberate. It was obvious that they were reminding Shen Hao that this Yang Xin was not simple. What they don't know is that Shen Hao actually knows far more inside information than their royal family.
In this case, the emperor might very well want to take advantage of the time when Qingchi left the imperial city and went to the underground palace of Wusi City to directly instill his own ruling philosophy? To avoid being constrained by Qingchi? This can be seen from the fact that evil spirits and evil monks were causing trouble in the old Jing Dynasty more than two years ago, but the emperor was forced to fan the flames. Qingchi and the royal family did not always have the same goal.
Perhaps this was one of the reasons why the emperor seemed so reckless.
"Do you think it is possible for the emperor to get rid of Qingchi's control? Or how to get rid of it?" Shen Hao asked Bai Wu in his heart. This is some information that he needs to consider and master next, and first test Bai Wu's tone.
"Yes, there is, but it's difficult. Because now Qingchi has used Jing Jiuchao's luck to condense a physical body. No matter how he did it, one thing is certain, that is, he has now merged with Jing Jiuchao. The national destiny of the Jing Dynasty is tightly tied together. If you really want the Jing Jiu Dynasty to get rid of him, you have to separate it directly. At that time, the Jing Jiu Dynasty is likely to fall apart quickly due to the collapse of the national destiny and various unpredictable disasters.
The other is to return the national fortune that Qingchi plundered to the Jingjiu Dynasty during the stripping process. Even though there will definitely be a lot of losses in the process, as long as about 60% can be returned, the Jingjiu Dynasty will not be in ruins. If the person on the throne is capable enough, the country's destiny will naturally return to its original state after a few decades. "
"So the difficulty in this matter is actually how to peel away from Qingchi the national destiny that he has robbed? Is that what you mean?"
"That's right. The Jingjiu royal family relied on Qingchi's power. Many of their so-called secret skills in Fenghong Villa were given to them by Qingchi, especially the "Blood Armor Technique" which is actually a kind of burning potential and The self-destructive method of vitality was only taken over by Qingchi to take away most of the backlash. Otherwise, the user would die, and the effect would not be as powerful as it seems.
In other words, the fact that the Jingjiu Dynasty was able to suppress the sects of the world and maintain the rule of the Jingjiu Dynasty for thousands of years was actually due to Qingchi's great contribution. Therefore, there is no need to distinguish so clearly between Jing Jiuchao and Qing Chi, who is using the other.
Hearing what you mean, are you ready to help the emperor? "
Bai Wu gave an explanation in Shen Hao's mind, but he didn't get to the point. For example, how to peel off the luck from Qingchi that belonged to the Jingjiu Dynasty. I just gave a conclusion and asked a rhetorical question at the end. It could be heard that Bai Wu also wanted to hear Shen Hao's side of the story first.
"Well, I have this idea. Since Qingchi is also going to the underground palace this time, wouldn't it be better to clean up Lang San together? I'm just helping the emperor by the way. After all, if you are messing around in the Jingjiu Dynasty, you must have something to use. Only the merits are good, are you right?" Shen Hao paused and then said: "Are you sure about this?"
"Haha, have you ever thought about getting rid of Qingchi and taking over the free national fortunes of the Jingjiu Dynasty for you and me to enjoy together?" Bai Wu did not answer Shen Hao's question, but continued to throw out another question. one question.
Shen Hao was stunned when he heard this. He really had never thought about what Bai Wu said. So he asked curiously: "Is this okay?"
