chapter 631 – how long do you intend to keep me waiting?

“I can’t see what His Majesty is thinking.” Xiahou Di sipped his tea somewhat wearily and said in a low voice, “This incident has lowered his reputation quite a bit, many officials believe that the Pure Heaven Sect is a tumor and a burden to the capital. Including the honored relatives as well, many of them even had their properties below them cheated by the Pure Heaven Sect people, making a fuss but confused accounts, and in the end, they couldn’t even make a clear attribution.”

Xue Mu was dumbfounded, “Evil people still need evil people to grind them. Usually, no one can control the rampage, and Department Six is not good at controlling it. This time, with the emperor’s acquiescence to the devil’s door to engage in, really know what it means to be comfortable.”

Xiahou Di wondered, “It’s not likely that you mean that this initiative of His Majesty is still a good thing?”

“Recently a large number of cases come and go, stirred up your eyes, in many cases hidden some other, if in the past days will be very sensitive, and at this time it is just the Pure Heavenly Sect of a hundred evil things in one or two cases, even a wave did not turn up ……”

Xiahou Di murmured on with understanding.

“As far as I know, there is a fallen baron who was cheated by the people of the Pure Heaven Sect and became heavily indebted, and couldn’t help but hang himself from a beam?”

“There is such a thing, the specific case we are still investigating.”

“You’re still investigating the case, the court has reclaimed people’s farms and ancestral properties, right?”

“Well, has been extinguished and extinct …… this is the routine.” Xiahou Di thought more and more alarmed: “This type of case is not a few recently, this is His Majesty borrowed the hands of the Pure Heavenly Church to eradicate the old powerful and noble? It is not so ……”

“No, it’s not the powerful nobles he’s moving, he can’t even afford to unite the truly powerful ones.” Xue Mu explained, “For a thousand years in the Great Zhou, in places like the capital, the annexation of land and industry has already reached its limit. Ji Wuyou is also considering the issue of resource redistribution. He is targeting the lower and middle class nobles with this step.”

Xiahou Di felt a bit fresh listening to this, “Tell me more carefully.”

“Similar to that kind of fallen nobles, it means that there are no strong people left in the family to come out of the world, a bunch of incompetent and useless descendants of the honored nobles, the court’s large amount of money and food to support them is just a pure burden. Moreover, these people’s ancestral property might have been sold off to the hilt, but if all the similar people added up it would still be considerable, which would also be a waste. Ji Wuyou wanted to redistribute it, but didn’t dare to move the system or else it might cause a fierce backlash, so he used the Pure Heaven Sect as a knife. If you are interested in counting, you will find that the imperial court fields and all kinds of other industries have suddenly increased by countless numbers within this month.”

Xiahou Di listened dumbfounded, not even knowing what to say.

“Another targeting point is those officials associated with the righteous path, at present he doesn’t dare to move those we are associated with, while the righteous path’s has already dispersed its gas, it’s time for him to open the knife. Recently a mess, have you guys ever found some officials’ personnel changes?”

“Discovered is discovered, but all are evidence of wrongful matters leading to removal or depreciation …… and not our people, we have not deliberately to protect.”

“Where did the evidence come from? There are too many thefts of all kinds, you have not paid attention to it …… I have heard that there are still real two-sleeved clean ones who were poisoned to death in their homes, and you are still solving the case, right ……”

“……” Xiahou Di froze for half a day, his color became more and more ugly.

“The Pure Heaven religion is just a knife of Ji Wuyou, do some things that are not suitable for him to do in the open, handy it. As for the loss of some prestige, it is very simple ah, on the face of it, he is not strongly support you to strictly handle it, no one can say that he harbors demons. In fact, you and can be strict a few people it, for this moment to 100,000 counts of pure heaven religious, you kill even a hair does not count, false net kind of ruthless people also simply will not put this loss in the eyes ……”

“……”

“In the end, the things that should be done are pretty much done, and everything that’s broken is dumped on the Pure Heavenly Cultists, and in the end, the Pure Heavenly Cult is expelled into Yizhou, returning the capital to a clean slate. Anyway, become an official sect for so long, Pure Heaven Sect to Yizhou Li Shanmen also become logical, the court will only pop at this group of people to leave the capital, support them to develop in Yizhou it ……”

Xiahou Di understands, the more he understands, the more tired he becomes: “Once the Pure Heaven Sect leaves the capital, with their homologous relationship with you, this is to set up a powerful enemy for you, as a check and balance on you.”

“Right, at that time, the capital is clean and I, Xue Mu, have a headache. And what kind of scourge has been inflicted on Yizhou, the mountain is so high and the emperor is so far away that the Temple Hall princes won’t be able to experience it. Instead, they will experience the benefits of redistributing resources and find that their interests have increased …… Not only does it not damage Ji Wuyou s reputation, but it is a saintly and wise lord. As for the damaged populace, righteous officials, and fallen nobles, who cares?”

Xiahou Di opened her mouth, wanting to say something but couldn’t.

“And as long as the Pure Heaven Sect can carry me, by then thousands of miles of Yizhou will be under the control of the Pure Heaven Sect again, that is, under the rule of the imperial court. After many years it may not be another Pill King Valley Cast Sword Valley, and the court’s power will flourish. What was the original attribute of the Pure Heaven Sect, and who cares?”

Xiahou Di slowly shook her head. In many ways, Ji Wuyou’s initiative may be very much in line with the ruler’s thinking, but also very much in line with the interests of some people, according to the reason maybe she all have to embrace to be right …… but she is obviously in the imperial court, but she always feel out of place.

She can always think of her mother, that riverside fisherwoman, who cares?

“Such as Minister Su, these people, with their mouths cursing the Pure Heaven Sect, have you seen any substantial moves from them? Not only did they not, instead, some people impeached you. It’s because they can see who the Emperor is targeting with this move and who is benefiting from it.” Xue Mu sighed and leisurely said, “Ji Wuyou has been representing the interests of the ruling class, the balance between righteousness and devilry is just a corner in his eyes, in reality, that is Department Six’s duty, not the emperor’s duty, his vision is even higher than your father’s. His greatest tragedy is that Department Six and he are not of one mind, otherwise where else in this world would there be other people’s business?”

Xiahou Di was stunned out of his mind, his heart floated back to the time when he was once the closest to Ji Wuyou’s siblings.

At that time, was Ji Wuyou just trying to grasp Department Six?

Xue Mu added, “The main problem now is that I can’t guess what Void Pure is thinking. On the surface, it looks like he was able to occupy Yizhou with the support of the imperial court, as if it’s a big deal? But he should know that it’s unreliable, and he doesn’t have a tripod, so is he really sure that he can carry my Six Paths alliance? Besides, all the Pure Heaven followers are from the Six Ways, and Xia Wenxuan and the others are afraid they’ll piss their pants if they stare at us, so why should they play with us? I always feel that the virtual net is another idea, may not be as Ji Wuyou’s intention.”

Xiahou Di sighed: “In any case, after you say so, I have a lot of heart, the direction of the case will also be more targeted. Since you intend to mess things up for them, what aspects are you going to start from? How do you need me to cooperate?”

“It’s not easy to decide for now, I need to go into the palace to meet the Empress Dowager and Eunuch Li.”

Xiahou Di nodded, “Alright, if you have any ideas, feel free to contact them.”

Yue Xiaochan has been leaning on the chair to drink tea without saying anything, eyes dripping watched Xue Mu and Xiahou Di’s expression, she always felt that these two people bar …… said that there is love in, but in fact, some kind of like-minded hand in hand with peers meaning more rich, their topics are often straight to the main thing, the dynasty and field rivers and lakes, the world and the human world, involves the wind and snow and snow and moon and love of a child and a woman. Really very little.

In fact, the two of them are quite compatible, Yue Xiaochan suddenly thought of this idea. A long time ago, the first person who said that Xue Mu was more suitable for the court was Xiahou Di, and now it seems that this is really quite similar to Xiahou Di’s peer model. To this day, what Yue Xiaochan admires most is Xiahou Di’s vision and determination, at that time, Xue Mu stuffed into the hands of that Department Six gold medal, I really don’t know what she was thinking.

Being so thinking, I heard Xiahou Di’s words changed to this, “I heard you guys are planning to get engaged?”

“Uh ……”

“Engagement is quite good, this seat is very supportive.” Xiahou Di expressionless said, “But Changxin Hou don’t forget something, this princess is also waiting for you to propose marriage to the court to marry it, intend to let me wait how long?”

“Pfft ……” Yue Xiaochan spewed out a mouthful of tea directly.
