Chapter 509: Dog Bite Dog
Of course, if Du Qingruo is already dead, then Zhang Yi will need to kidnap a descendant of the Tang Dynasty royal family from the capital and make him the ruler of the Taoist country.
Of course, the leader of the Taoist country is destined to be just a puppet.
However, the other party is of the Tang Dynasty royal bloodline and carries a trace of dragon luck. Once the other party has a descendant of the bloodline, then this puppet can also abdicate.
In the Dao Kingdom, the person in power is destined to be the Dao Master of the Disaster Dao.
As for this so-called Dao Kingdom Master, if he is a disciple of the Jieyun Dao, then he may still have a little power. Otherwise, he can only be a puppet, a doll.
After Zhang Yi inspected the rice stored in Jiangling City for the last time, he left Jiangling City and drove north.
His destination is the capital.
…
Old Master Xu naturally had no idea that the Jieyun Dao was behind all of this, and he never dreamed that this was the work of the Jieyun Dao. After all, under the strong suppression of the court, the Jieyun Dao was already on the decline and was a rat crossing the street.
However, although he didn't know that the manipulator behind the scenes was Jieyundao, Old Man Xu could roughly guess why the other party secretly purchased so much rice.
"It's just that this is a bit too childish!"
Although he guessed that the person behind the scenes wanted to rebel, the people's support for the Tang Dynasty was still there, and the foreign threat of the Northern Barbarians had been defeated. Old Master Xu really couldn't understand where the person in the dark got the confidence from?
Old Master Xu didn't want the world to be in chaos, but if a rebellion occurred and could not be put down in time, this rebellion would ruthlessly tear off the seemingly strong mask of the Tang Dynasty and reveal its weak nature.
If he hadn't left Anshun County, Mr. Xu would have thought the Tang Dynasty was still powerful. But this time, seeing the abandoned fields along the way, Mr. Xu felt that the Tang Dynasty's prosperity had become history.
If Emperor Yongping could discover the abnormalities below and take drastic measures to rectify them, perhaps the Tang Dynasty would still have a chance to rise again.
But can Emperor Yongping find out?
The answer is naturally no.
Today, Emperor Yongping is fully focused on the reorganization of the thirty-six guards in the north and south camps.
The worst thing is that the Prince of Yan, who was highly expected by Emperor Yongping, is now unable to help Emperor Yongping share his worries.
…
Time passed quickly, and Mr. Xu and his party soon boarded the passenger ship back to Anshun County.
The speed of this passenger ship going downstream is really much different from that going upstream.
Even though there were trackers pulling the boat on the shore, the passenger ship still moved very slowly.
The slow boat ride is undoubtedly a good opportunity to appreciate the scenery on both sides of the river.
But the problem is that it is really not warm today.
After Mr. Xu and his group got on board, they retreated into the cabin.
Originally, Mr. Xu wanted to find out where the rice would eventually be transported, but last night, he unexpectedly discovered that the county magistrate Lin Dong appeared at the grain storage area.
Then, through the conversation between Lin Dong and those people, Mr. Xu learned the other party's identity as a disciple of the Jieyun Dao.
In this way, Mr. Xu can save a lot of trouble.
Even though Lin Dong did not specify where the rice would be sent, since he knew that Jieyundao was behind this matter, Mr. Xu no longer wanted to pay attention to it.
Jieyundao had attacked Fubao before, so naturally, it was Old Master Xu who wanted to deal with him.
But to deal with Jieyundao, he doesn't need to take action himself.
Old Master Xu had already made up his mind. Once the ship arrived in Kun County, he would send someone to deliver a memorial to the capital.
"Dad, why do you need to submit a memorial?"
Fu Bao looked at the memorial written by his father, Old Master Xu, with a puzzled look on his face. "Those people in the court aren't good people, and neither are the Jieyun Dao. Wouldn't it be better to let them fight each other?"
He was robbed repeatedly and was targeted by the Grand Princess and the Queen Mother. How could Fubao, such a petty person, be so generous as to let them go?
If Jieyundao wants to establish a country, the imperial court will definitely not allow it.
By then, both sides will definitely beat their brains out.
It's true that once war breaks out, the people are the ones who suffer in the end. But there are some things you simply don't have a choice about. Besides, Fubao never considered himself a savior.
"Dad submitted this memorial just to make them fight each other!"
Old Master Xu looked at Fubao with a smile and reached out to touch Fubao's head. "Why, do you have any better ideas, little shrew?"
"Dad, tell me, if Jieyun Dao really built this Dao Kingdom, what would happen to the imperial court?"
"Of course we'll suppress the rebellion!"
Mr. Xu doesn't need to bother thinking about this kind of problem.
Although the Dao Kingdom was planned to be built in the southwest, it was still the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
As long as Emperor Yongping still has some ideas, he will not let it go. If Emperor Yongping does not care about Jieyun Dao's independence, then the next moment more separatist forces will appear.
Fu Bao smiled slightly and said, "Dad, what do you think Jieyun Dao will do after establishing the Dao Kingdom?"
"this……"
This time, Mr. Xu was stumped by Fubao's question.
He understood the imperial court and Emperor Yongping, but he really didn't know much about the way the Lord of Disaster acted.
As the art of war says, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.
Old Master Xu frowned slightly, glanced at his precious daughter, and said, "Precious, what do you think Jieyun Dao will do after establishing the Dao Kingdom?"
"Of course, we should announce it to the world and capture cities and territories!"
Fubao gave her answer without thinking.
The reason why she firmly believed that Jieyun Dao would cause trouble was because Jieyun Dao's country was just being established and it had to expand its influence while plundering more people and territories.
It is true that the strength of the Jieyun Dao country is definitely not as good as that of the Tang Dynasty, but because of this gap, the Jieyun Dao can only use offense as defense.
Through this attack, more conflicts were triggered within the Tang Dynasty, which in turn prompted more people to rebel against the court and the royal family.
A chopstick can be easily broken.
But if it is a pair of chopsticks, unless you are a super strong man, you can only stare blankly.
Obviously, the current court of the Tang Dynasty is not a pair of chopsticks, but individual chopsticks.
“That makes sense!”
After hearing Fubao's head-exploding speech, Mr. Xu's eyes suddenly lit up.
Since it's a dog-eat-dog fight, both dogs must be trained. If one side is too weak, then it will be a battle without suspense.
Old Master Xu didn't want to see the imperial army directly crush the Jieyundao troops. It would be best if both sides fought to exhaustion. At that time, he, the fisherman, would come out and reap the benefits.
"Dad, are you still going to submit the memorial?"
Fubao looked at his father with a smile.
Old Master Xu smiled slightly and said, "Of course we have to go. Otherwise, how can we be the fishermen?"
Two chapters. Sorry, my daughter’s high fever has been recurring these days, and the author is also very tired. Please understand!
