Chapter 878: Bao Zheng Possessed
"I also suspect that what happened in Guan Zhongshan was the result of His Majesty's alliance with the Wilderness!"
Xue Huairen made another shocking statement that frightened Xue Qing.
"Colluding with foreign enemies to murder loyal ministers, what is your Majesty planning?"
"What are you planning?"
Xue Huairen said coldly: "Don't forget how our Majesty came to sit on the throne!"
Xue Qing was suddenly startled.
"Your Majesty is the prince who rebelled and seized the throne. What he is most worried about is that others will follow his path, and the most likely and powerful person in Dakang is Zhenbei Palace."
Xue Qing understood immediately.
This is actually a psychology that exists in everyone.
"Furthermore, there is a rumor among the people that the dynasties of the past dynasties cannot survive for more than 300 years. It has been more than 270 years since the founding of Dakang. At this time, His Majesty is very superstitious about these things, which has also become an inducement."
"Is this really the case?"
Xue Qing said: "Looking at history, it seems that there is really no country that can surpass the 300-year-old dynasty."
"There is such a problem, but it is not a superstitious theory of national luck, but there is a reason."
"What reason?"
Xue Qing wanted to ask for advice.
His father, Xue Huairen, was once a doctor in charge of the Imperial College. He was knowledgeable and understood ancient and modern times.
"In my opinion, the main reason is the uneven distribution of resources."
Xue Huairen said solemnly: "The problem of uneven distribution of resources has always existed, but as the country grows older, approaching three hundred years, the gap between the rich and the poor in the entire country will become extremely wide, and most of the resources will be concentrated
In the hands of a small number of extremely wealthy people, the poor will become poorer and the rich will become richer, and the contradictions will become prominent, causing turmoil and uprising, leading to the collapse of the dynasty..."
Hear this.
Xue Qing was suddenly startled and exclaimed: "Isn't this the current situation of Dakang?"
"Yes, Dakang is like that."
Xue Huairen said in a low voice: "I am the leader of the party. Outsiders think that I am trying to kill the Prince of Zhenbei. In fact, this is not my original intention. My target is those noble families!"
"I thought that by removing the largest noble in Zhenbei Palace, I could use this as an opportunity to attack those noble families..."
Xue Qing's eyes widened.
He had never heard his father say these words before. Only now did he realize how grand what his father wanted to do!
"I dare not reveal my true intentions at all, because I know very well the consequences of doing so. There is no shortage of officials in Dakang's history who intend to reform. How many have succeeded, and how many have had a good ending?"
Xue Huairen said solemnly: "Why do you think Emperor Long'an lost the throne in just three years? It's because he was too impatient. He intended to disturb the nobles of the family as soon as he took the throne, which caused a backlash..."
The shock in Xue Qing's eyes grew stronger and stronger. Today, his father had a heart-to-heart relationship with him, which of course made him admire him.
Being able to see through phenomena and see the essence is quite remarkable.
"The noble family is not a single person, but represents a huge group!"
Xue Huairen continued: "Guan Ning seized the opportunity to force His Majesty to kill Pei Guogong Zheng Yi, but do you think it will have any impact?"
"No impact!"
"Therefore, we must solve it fundamentally. I am very aware of the seriousness of it..."
Xue Qing asked: "So you want to use Zhenbei Palace to open a breakthrough?"
"That's right."
"Although King Zhenbei is a clean figure among the nobility, he is indeed the largest aristocratic family. With His Majesty's opportunity to reduce the vassalage, we should be able to achieve results."
Xue Huairen said: "Of course I know the loyalty of Zhenbei Palace to Dakang, but as long as it can solve the problem of the noble family, I will do anything!"
"They are like moths, clinging to the country. They only know how to suck without knowing anything in return. They use the resources they have to gain more resources, just like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger. They are also harmful to the country.
Getting bigger and bigger!”
When Xue Huairen said this, he gritted his teeth and could feel the hatred!
"But gradually I realized that I was too naive."
Xue Huairen looked downcast and said: "A thousand-year-old family, a century-old dynasty, I can't change anything at all."
"Father, you are already very powerful, so why should you belittle yourself?"
"The key is that Your Majesty has no intention of changing at all. Instead, he continues to condone it."
Xue Huairen said: "Because he needs the support of noble families to secure his throne. This makes me understand that it is too difficult to change unless..."
"Unless what?"
“If you don’t break, you don’t stand!”
"You mean... Guan Ning?"
"right."
Xue Huairen said solemnly: "The quickest way to change the order is to tear down and rebuild...I am very confused."
"So you resigned?"
"I am doing it for the Xue family. I predict that Dakang will experience great turmoil in the next few years. This time is an opportunity to choose and bet. Before the situation becomes unclear, temporarily retreating is the best way."
Xue Huairen raised his eyes and looked at Xue Qing.
"Do you still remember the Xue family's family motto that your father told you?"
"You can't put your eggs in one basket."
"That's right."
Xue Huairen said: "Go and tell those officials secretly that they must learn to be wise and protect themselves."
"Understood."
"Then what if Guan Ning really rebels?"
Xue Huairen said lightly: "If he can attack Shangjing, I wouldn't mind helping him."
Xue Qing was slightly surprised.
If my father can help me at a critical moment, the impact will be extraordinary.
He couldn't understand it better.
Even though his father is currently idle at home, he still has considerable influence in the court.
Ren Cifu has been serving for so many years, and he has countless disciples and former officials...
Ginger is still old and spicy. It turns out that my father has so many plans and has already made preparations.
Compared with my father, I am still far behind!
Xue Qing couldn't help but sigh.
"The prince has gone north, and our plan is about to begin!"
At the same time, Butler Wu and Qian Dafu were also plotting!
According to Guan Ning's instructions before leaving, after Guan Ning goes north, the family business and related forces in Beijing will be secretly transferred to the north!
Otherwise, when Guan Ning raises troops in the north, the industries in Beijing will be targeted, and then there will be nothing left!
"I feel a little distressed."
Being rich and wealthy makes me reluctant to part with it.
It is indeed not easy to develop Guan's business to such a scale in the past two years.
"The loss is only temporary. You have to find a valid reason to sell all our properties and stores."
Butler Wu said: "We must pay attention to methods and not let others see that we are about to evacuate."
"The reason is simple."
Qian Dafu said: "Let's just say that the prince wants to go north to quell the chaos. In order to support the prince, the family has to sell off its property to raise military expenses. Not only can it achieve its goal, but it can also gain fame."
"Okay, that's a good reason!"
Butler Wu said: "As expected of a businessman, his mind works very quickly..."
Qian Dafu rolled his eyes.
All parties responded, and after a period of marching, Guan Ning finally arrived in the north.
Chapter completed!
