If Senior Brother Six’s judgment is correct, the cultural context of Dazhou is in the bamboo building where Shanchang lived.

What does this mean? Mountain chief and cultural context are mutually beneficial and symbiosis?

Or is the mountain leader the cultural context of the Great Zhou?

No matter which one it is, it is shocking enough.

Zhao Xun felt like he was in a state of uproar.

If this is true, wouldn’t the mountain leader be the core of the practitioners of the Wenzong lineage?

If the mountains grow long, the Emperor Wenzong will prosper; if the mountains grow long, the Emperor Wenzong will decline.

The rise and fall of the Wenzong lineage is all about the longing of the mountain.

No wonder the mountain leader was eager to find Wenquxing who came down to earth, probably because he felt something as the core of the cultural context.

Zhao Xun is indeed completely different from the people of this era. There is nothing wrong with saying that Wenqu Star descends to earth.

No matter what the minister felt, the person he chose was Zhao Xun.

Can't this be said in disguise that Zhao Xun is the chosen son of God?

Zhao Xun suddenly felt superior.

If this is true, wouldn’t he be gifted?

Sometimes opportunities are really wonderful things and are difficult to explain in ordinary words.

"Sixth Brother..."

Zhao Xun glanced at Senior Brother Six and reminded carefully: "You shouldn't want to enter the bamboo building to find out, right?"

The bamboo building where the mountain captain lives is not that mysterious. On weekdays, the mountain captain has summoned all the disciples who have entered the house here.

But it is one thing to summon the mountain chief, and it is another thing to sneak in by himself.

Although the mountain leader is currently in seclusion in Guya Cave, with the mountain leader's magical powers, he must be well aware of the things in the academy.

If Senior Brother Six really took him in secretly, the mountain leader would definitely be angry when he knew about it.

Not worth it, not worth it.

"Of course not, I'm not stupid!"

Senior Brother Six rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Let's go, since you have found the cultural context, it's a goal."

Zhao Xun nodded and walked out along the bamboo forest path with Senior Brother Six.

…

In the Royal Forbidden Garden of Longshou in the north of Chang'an City, Emperor Xianlong rode a snow-white horse, bent his bow and arrow to aim at a sika deer dozens of steps away in seconds.

The sika deer seemed to notice the danger and looked around alertly.

Emperor Xianlong no longer gave the sika deer a chance to react, and accumulated enough strength to loosen the bowstring.

But with a whoosh, the arrow broke through the air.

The bow is pulled like a full moon, and the arrow is shot like a meteor!

The sika deer fled at a very fast speed, but how could it run past a sharp arrow that penetrated the clouds?

But with a dull sound, the arrow penetrated the sika deer's neck.

The sika deer then fell to the ground, let out a whimper, struggled and twitched for a while before it stopped moving.

"Your Majesty's sharp shooting, your Majesty's heroic power!"

Sun Yan, the minister of Taichang Temple who was accompanying him, flattered him without any concealment, and his face was filled with a flattering smile.

Emperor Xianlong threw the bow and arrow in his hand to the eunuch, then turned over and got off the horse and walked towards the sika deer, completely ignoring the Taichang Temple Minister who was accompanying him.

He walked to the sika deer and squatted down, looked at the sika deer's wounds, and then nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, this leather can be tanned to make a cloak."

Sun Yan, the minister of Taichang Temple who was neglected by the emperor, was not discouraged at all. Instead, he came forward with shamelessness and continued to flatter: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, which is a blessing for the Great Zhou."

Emperor Xianlong then patted the dust on his palm and smiled and said, "Sun Aiqing, how do you think the governor of the capital will have a banquet in a few days?"

Sun Yan carefully pondered Emperor Xianlong's words, and His Majesty the Emperor asked how to make a move instead of how to make arrangements, which proved that Emperor Long had already made a plan.

The overall situation has been decided, and now we are only considering the issue of entry.

As a close minister of the emperor, the most important ability is not how high you stand and how far you look, but how to grasp the emperor's mind.

By doing this, you can simply enjoy the great grace of heaven in the heart of the emperor.

"Since ancient times, the court and local interests have been constantly contested, and the root of it lies in military, wealth, and politics. If Your Majesty wants to eliminate future troubles forever, it is better to take advantage of this banquet to share the power in the hands of the major military governors."

Emperor Xianlong couldn't help but lit up when he heard this.

The reason why he valued Sun Yan was not just because he was sweet-mouthed and flattered.

But because Sun Yan is indeed a person with ideas and ability.

"Speak."

Sun Yan's Adam's apple moved slightly, and then said respectfully: "The places where the Jiedu governed were mostly important border towns, which was probably because the Jiedu governor was originally established to resist foreign enemies. Therefore, it is difficult to abolish military power. If your Majesty wants to move, you can find ways to deal with financial power and regime."

Emperor Xianlong fell into deep thought after hearing this.

I have to say that Sun Yan’s proposal is indeed interesting.

Emperor Xianlong has always been balancing by constantly transferring the defense zones of major military governors.

But this method can treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

To completely eradicate this problem, we must find solutions from the root and system.

In fact, what Emperor Xianlong wanted to move the most was the military power of the Jiedushi.

But as Sun Yan said, if the military power of the Jiedushi will be unstable.

Whether it is the northern barbarians, the southern barbarians, the Eastern Yue Kingdom, or even the people in the Demon Sect, they may have ideas about important towns around the surrounding area.

This is a very fatal thing.

If you have big steps, you can easily get rid of the eggs. Emperor Xianlong definitely does not want to fail in the first step.

Therefore, we can only take the second step to think about financial power and regime.

In terms of financial power, the governor can mint coins by himself without looking at the court's expression.

In terms of regime, the governor has complete personnel appointment and removal power, and officials under the fourth rank can be appointed by themselves.

To appoint officials and governors of the fourth rank or above, you only need to report to the court and go through a process.

Generally speaking, the court will not refuse.

So which aspect should be moved?

"Which one should Sun Aiqing think I should move first?"

"Your Majesty may as well go both ways."

Sun Yan was prepared for a long time and took the opportunity to show off.

"If Your Majesty only mentions a little, the Jiedushi can join forces to keep warm and fight against the court. In the end, it may be left alone. But if Your Majesty wants to reduce the financial and government power of the Jiedushi at the same time, there will definitely be differences of opinions within the Jiedushi. At that time, Your Majesty can defeat each one and ultimately achieve the goal of weakening the Jiedushi. Even if the Jiedushi is still tough, the court can show weakness. Only a little bit is considered to give the Jiedushi room to bargain."

Sun Yan's words made Emperor Xianlong very helpful.

I have to say that this is a clever plan.

No matter how strong the Jiedushi is, he cannot be stronger than the imperial court.

As long as they are not allowed to form a group, the court will be in an advantageous position.

The court deliberately proposed to reduce the two major powers of the Jiedushi, leaving room for the Jiedushi to bargain.

If the governors are tough, the court will make a step back.

If the governor is not tough, the court will take both.

"Sun Aiqing's plan is very wonderful."

"Thank you for your praise."

Sun Yan smiled and said, "If this matter is done, Your Majesty can rest assured."
