When Gu Beichuan heard this, he couldn't help but laugh. He said to himself that this is not a monster, it is just a theory at most. If you have not seen a series of works such as Conan and Sherlock Holmes in later generations, then you are a real monster.
The truth can be restored based only on clues.
He was just making appropriate deductions based on existing information.
But even so, in this era, it is shocking enough.
"But there's something I don't understand." Gu Beichuan frowned slightly and said, "Logically speaking, the Canglan flood management has never been done overnight. The top priority should be to distribute food for disaster relief."
"And considering that the current state treasury is only for disaster relief, shouldn't it be difficult?"
"In other words, His Majesty the Emperor intends to carry out the Northern Expedition and wants to use all the money and food in the treasury as military pay and rations. This will indeed cause some trouble."
"But it won't make all the princes in the Manchu Dynasty helpless. Not to mention anything else, just a small donation of money and food from the five major families in Qiandu will be enough for the people of Canglan to tide over the difficulties."
"So, why are we promulgating a talent recruitment policy?"
When Lin Fu heard this, his mouth twitched at first, and he muttered silently in his heart: "Don't care about monsters, don't care about monsters."
After a while, he scoffed and said, "If the five major families are willing to take action, these promised disaster relief money and food will not be a problem."
"But the key is, are these five major families willing to take action?"
When Gu Beichuan heard the words, he immediately understood the reason, but he was still surprised: "With the prestige of the current Holy Emperor in the court, how can a mere five aristocratic families dare to do such a disobedient thing?"
"Two reasons." Lin Fu cleared his throat, cheered up, and said in his heart that the time to show his role has finally arrived: "First, although the Holy One has great prestige in the court, when it comes to donating food for disaster relief, after all, it depends on the relationship between you and me. , if it is taken by force and spread, it will change the taste."
"The other thing is..." Lin Fu paused and whetted his appetite. Seeing that Gu Beichuan and Li Dongbi were looking forward to it, he said word by word: "The five great families have no choice but to resist His Majesty!"
Gu Beichuan and Li Dongbi frowned when they heard this.
Daqian pays attention to being a master of the king of heaven and earth. As a minister, in addition to respecting heaven and earth, he must be loyal to the king.
This is before honoring parents and respecting teachers, which shows that Daqian people attach great importance to this matter.
Coupled with the prestige of Emperor Renxuan in the court, you say that the five major families will obey orders, and they believe it.
But what Lin Fu said was that the five major families had to resist, which was a bit intriguing. It even deviated from Gu Beichuan's speculations about Daqian Chaotang, which was unexpected.
"What do you mean by this?"
Seeing Gu Beichuan and others' brows tightening, Lin Fu couldn't help but feel a little elated, his vanity was greatly satisfied, and said: "Tell me, your Majesty has clearly had absolute control over the court in these years, why do you still let the five major powers go unchecked?" Will the family become bigger?"
Lin Fu answered the question incorrectly, but Gu Beichuan was not annoyed, but began to analyze the reasons in detail.
Allowing the five major aristocratic families to grow bigger under his nose shows that Emperor Renxuan needs such a force!
So in recent years, what kind of activities has Daqian particularly needed strength?
As long as you think of this, the answer is immediately obvious: Northern Expedition to Dayan!
Gu Beichuan's eyebrows gradually widened, his thoughts gradually diverged, and he remembered a controversial emperor in later Chinese history: Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty - Yang Guang!
Why is he so controversial?
Just because he has done a lot of great things that will bring harm to the present but will benefit the future!
For example, the establishment of the imperial examination was a method of selecting talents that lasted for thirteen hundred years in Chinese history.
There were also the excavation of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and the three expeditions to Goguryeo.
These are all first-class major things. If they are all completed, the name Yangdi may not be worthy of the name.
It's a pity that they all failed, and that's why he became known as a fatuous tyrant and a lecherous person.
Even so, many netizens still argue and prove it on the Internet in later generations.
Gu Beichuan could not comment on whether the various views were correct or not.
But since there is a dispute, it means that there are still many differences between this person and complete bastards such as Zhu Qizhen, the Ming Dynasty God of War, and Cixi, the goddess of ceded lands.
It is worth mentioning that Yang Guang's three expeditions to Goguryeo were the same as those of Emperor Renxuan.
Use foreign wars to consume domestic unstable forces!
I have to say that this is a risky move that requires great courage!
Yang Guang did not lack courage, but he was a little less capable and a little less lucky. In the end, he ended up with a reputation that everyone wanted to beat him up, so that the great empire built by Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, also perished.
What about Emperor Renxuan?
This person's courage is probably three points better than that of Yang Guang!
Why?
Because the five major families in Gandu were clearly allowed to grow by him, or in other words, they grew up under his instruction!
Is it possible to have such confidence?
Aren’t you worried that the tail will not fall off during the Northern Expedition to Dayan?
Gu Beichuan did not comment on Emperor Renxuan's actions, and he was not qualified to make any comments.
Just by analyzing and speculating up to this point, the reasons why the five major families had to resist can be easily revealed.
"I see, the emperor wants to use the great achievements of the Northern Expedition to Dayan to eliminate all the powerful family forces in Daqian."
"As the leader of the five major Qiandu families, they are the first to bear the brunt of the attack. Naturally, they have to find a way out for themselves."
"If we provide money and food for disaster relief, the money from the national treasury will definitely be saved as military food and military salary for the Northern Expedition to Dayan. It will not be of any benefit to them."
"On the contrary, if you are adamant and in full public view, donating food for disaster relief is something you and I are willing to do. Even if they don't donate even a grain of food, the Holy Spirit won't do anything to them."
"They don't donate food, but the Canglan flood must be solved. With no choice, the emperor can only use the money and food in the treasury."
"In this way, the great cause of the Northern Expedition to Dayan will be delayed again and again. For them, it will be a hundred benefits without any harm. Naturally, they have to resist!"
After listening to Gu Beichuan's analysis, Li Dongbi nodded slightly, as if it was natural.
However, when these words fell into Lin Fu's ears, they were like a bolt from the blue!
what's the situation?
It seems that he just said "the five major families have to resist", but I'm afraid it's not even the beginning.
How could Gu Beichuan just... guess everything?
When he came to Gu's house today, he thought he had brought a lot of news.
But who would have thought that since entering the mansion, until now, he has never opened his mouth a few times.
It usually starts with Gu Beichuan pondering for a while, and then pouring beans out of the bamboo tube, shaking everything out one by one. It is really extremely fast! He can't even stop him!
So now, he opened his mouth again and again, but there was nothing to say.
He was silent for a while, and even wailed in his heart: "Aren't you bullying others? Isn't this?"
