Any world has its operating rules.

No matter who you are, once you want to suddenly change his rules, the biggest possibility is that you will be backlashed by the rules and eventually die without a burial place.

Being one step ahead is genius.

If you are ten steps ahead, you will be the target of monsters and monsters, and everyone will attack them in groups.

As strong as Wang Mang, but as humble as a corporal, he pretended to be emperor for decades and finally became emperor. But once he wants to change the rules, the final result is still destruction.

Therefore, Xiao Cheng has always followed the rules and acted cautiously within the limits allowed by the rules of this world.

Being right and proper is the prerequisite for doing anything.

From the time Gua Gua was born into this world to the time he slowly grew up, one thing Xiao Cheng has always understood is not to do things that exceed the cognitive limits of people in a world.

Production relations must adapt to the development of productive forces.

If the two are decoupled, they will definitely collapse.

In fact, in the Song Dynasty, politics was relatively open-minded. At least the scholar-bureaucrats at this time did not think that the world belonged to the emperor and his family.

The emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats rule the world together!

Of course, although the emperor said this, he probably didn't agree with it in his heart.

Therefore, the political structure of the Song Dynasty has always been a mutual game between imperial power and prime minister power.

But most of the time, Xiang Quan is at a disadvantage.

Imperial power naturally occupies a dominant position. An emperor who is too wise or an emperor who is too stupid can make the constraints of prime minister power fall into place.

Perhaps this is the reason why Xia Jie did not choose King Jing.

King Zhao Zhe of Jing was brave and decisive, never sloppy in his work, and always had full confidence in his own judgment. In other words, to put it bluntly, he was stubborn and did not listen to others.

When King Jing came to power, Xia Jie could either imitate Russell, his former chief minister, and become a yes man, or he could pack up his things and go home to live out his old life.

Both of these are naturally not what Xia Jie wants.

He also wants to show off his talents as the first assistant!

So he chose King Chu.

A mediocre looking successor.

Therefore, it was Cui Ang, an obviously white-faced traitor, who could convince Xia Jie to go along with him on this matter.

Xiao Cheng wants more than Xia Jie.

What Xiao Cheng wanted was an emperor who, regardless of whether he was heroic, stupid or mediocre, would have limited influence on the political structure of the Song Dynasty.

They can be the symbol of the Song Dynasty, the spiritual leader of the Song Dynasty, and the mascot of the Song Dynasty. They can have massive wealth, accept the worship of the people, and can be high and mighty even if they are worshiped as gods, but don't become

The decision-maker who governed the policies of the Song Dynasty.

They can only be spectators and enjoyers.

Of course this is definitely not a rebellion.

In the Song Dynasty, after three hundred years of raising scholars, those who wanted to rebel would basically end up dead.

Therefore, if Xiao Cheng wants to do all this, he can only do it in a chaotic situation.

Under the stable court structure, trying to achieve this is just a dream. Xia Jie's approach is the right thing to do.

Jiang Yingxue hit the nail on the head and revealed the secret hidden deep in Xiao Cheng's heart that Xiao Cheng had been unwilling to tell.

That is, if Xiao Cheng really wants to stop it, there is no way.

But he chose to sit back and watch.

He prepared enough weapons and ammunition, then hid aside, quietly staring at the changes in Bianliang with wide eyes, waiting for the world to suddenly become chaotic.

King Jing will press the start button of this chaos.

But Xia Jie and the others can never be the key to ending this chaos, even though they think they have the ability.

When a big stone is thrown into the water, the consequences will not be solved by calming down the ripples on the surface.

It will have far-reaching consequences.

It's just that the speed of development far exceeded Xiao Cheng's expectation.

He thought he had enough time to do things better and prepare more adequate means to deal with it, but now it seems that things are about to reach a critical point.

There is a pushing hand hidden in these things that Xiao Cheng cannot see, which makes Xiao Cheng a little anxious.

It is impossible to predict how far things will develop with a malicious planner and a promoter who is outside of Xiao Cheng's consideration.

Of course, it is just a little anxious. Even if the consequences of this turmoil exceed his expectations, it will not have much impact on his grand strategy.

The chess piece has already fallen, although it is not completely correct, and the next few chess pieces have not really fallen yet, there are certain variables, but Xiao Cheng believes that he can act according to the situation and control the things that he can control.

And now the strength that I possess can definitely affect the overall situation of the world.

Whether it's the eldest brother's military strength or the business empire now controlled by Jiang Yingxue.

Things here in Qianzhou need to speed up.

The Qianzhou government office is still as shabby as before, and the plaque hanging on the lintel seems likely to fall off at any time.

It is said that this is not a good sign for officials not to repair the unwritten rule of the government offices they preside over.

Of course Xiao Cheng didn't believe it.

However, his focus is not here, so as long as the state government can still be used, let's use it. If it really collapses, he will make plans to collapse.

Now the ruling center of Qianzhou has undoubtedly been transferred to Bangzhou, the former Jizhou. The Qianzhou Business Federation in the Wu family mansion, which not many ordinary people know about, truly controls the military and political power of Qianzhou.

Yang Wanfu's Tianwu Army quietly expanded to 5,000 people.

The Xiang army controlled by Han Zong expanded to 3,000 men, of which 2,000 were also stationed there, and another 1,000 were stationed in Pengshui with Han Zong, who were considered Xiao Cheng's personal soldiers.

And the most important thing is that that is the current economic center of Qianzhou, where is the money!

A lot of money and supplies are moving there.

Because Xiao Cheng is planning to attack the Luodian Ghost Kingdom next, he needs to save enough money and food for a big war.

"Signing, you are finally back!" As soon as he entered the door, Wang Wenzhong, the commander of the Tiannan Army, crossed his hands and clasped his fists, and bowed respectfully to Xiao Cheng. Speaking of which, Xiao Cheng's current signing level is quite impressive.

Even better than his control!

However, in the Song Dynasty, people were always humble in culture and noble in military affairs. More importantly, Wang Wenzheng was always a discerning person and would never judge a person's strength based on his rank.

And Xiao Cheng was undoubtedly the one who showed him his strength.

Not to mention that Xiao Cheng is now a fifth-grade judge wearing a red robe. Even if he is just a judge wearing a green robe and joins the army, Wang Wenzheng will treat him respectfully.

Compared with other places in the Song Dynasty, Wang Wenzheng in Qianzhou definitely understood the saying that strength is king more deeply than people in other places.

Because the Jisu Prefectures under the jurisdiction of Qianzhou have been practicing this truth.

Whoever has a bigger fist will make sense.

The owner of Jisi Prefecture is not fixed, and the court ignores it. It's just a matter of a piece of edict! Over the years, Wang Wenzheng has seen many such things.

"Wang Zongzhi, please take a seat quickly!" Xiao Cheng raised his head from the pile of files on the major case, and said with a smile on his face: "Zongzong, please sit down first, and I will come back to talk to you after I finish approving this file.

, Ma Zhizhou, this boss, is really inconsiderate to his subordinates. He went to take some time off by himself, but he left all these countless matters to me, which means that I am young and obedient. If someone else had replaced him, he would have just packed up and quit!

"

Of course Wang Wenzheng knew this was a joke.

But this joke is really not funny.

The seal of the governor of Qianzhou is in the big drawer next to you, right? He doesn't know whether Ma Liang is alive or dead, but the fate of his sworn brother is there, and he was almost killed by the one in front of him who looks good-looking

Yue Se's signature cut off the skin and bones, and finally left a life, but Xiao Cheng was almost scared out of his wits.

"Ma Zhizhou has always been lazy in politics!" Wang Wenzheng said with a smile: "He just messed around because he had no hope of promotion, but Xuan Wen is young and promising. Everyone has seen the changes in Qianzhou since Xian Wen took office."

On this point, Wang Wenzheng was not lying. He truly admired the skill of the man in front of him.

Ma Liang was really fine before.

In other words, Pengshui and Qianjiang were under his control, and both of them had serious county magistrates.

It's not like the person in front of me. After he took office, in a short period of time, he managed dozens of Jisi Prefectures to be submissive. Those who were not convinced had already gone to the Lord of Hell to seek revenge or were about to pay to the Lord of Hell.

Qianzhou's territory suddenly expanded dozens of times.

In the past, each locality had its own way of doing things, but now specific matters have to be reported here. Doesn’t it make the official business more busy?

"We are subordinates, so we can't criticize our superiors!" Xiao Cheng stood up with a smile, "I also went to Weixun Villa in Ma Zhizhou two days ago. The red maples covering the slopes are really refreshing. Ma Zhizhou is so beautiful.

I have gained a lot of weight, and I hug her from left to right, so happy."

"Ma Zhizhou knows how to enjoy happiness!" Wang Wenzheng also laughed. He knew that Xiao Cheng was hinting to him that Ma Zhizhou was living a good life!

"In a few months, the cold wind is howling and the snow is falling. Then I will take Wang Zhizhi to the Weixun Mansion to soak in the hot springs with Zhizhou. The feeling will be so comfortable!"

Wang Wenzheng's heart skipped a beat. He didn't want to go to Weixun Village to soak in the hot springs. He believed that Ma Liang and Ma Zhizhou would never want to soak in the hot springs there either.
