Chapter 933

"Fighting landlords and distributing land?" Bai Lang laughed and said, "Now the Great Wu can't control it at all. I think this Great Wu Dynasty is going to be finished sooner or later." It turned out that what was in his hand was the strategy proposed by Xiangpang when he was attacking cities and seizing land in the south. I don't know which time-traveler told him. "Hard to say, maybe there really is one." Bai Lang knew that this world was facing a fall at this moment, and the outside was already riddled with holes. It is very normal for a time-traveler to come here.

The policies Bai Lang saw were all extremely familiar things. Besides fighting landlords and distributing land, there were of course bitterness-telling meetings and the like. Of course, there was one last one, which was that he heard Xiangpang was promoting literacy in the army... "I almost thought he was going to promote the party branch in the company, and I was thinking about how such an army could defeat them." It's a pity that the great power of this world belongs to oneself. Relying on this alone... winning the hearts of the people is indeed useful for military morale and military prestige. If the cultivation in the army improves rapidly and forms a military formation, I'm afraid even Celestial Experts can resist it.

So Xiangpang, this kid, is cutting through the Wu like bamboo—it's just that his appetite for attack is not big—but it is quite ruthless. This person eats a piece of land, and he wants to digest and consolidate a piece of land. The local wealthy landlords, bullies, and powerful clans will all be swept away, and the land will be distributed to the poor and tenant farmers.

Bai Lang doesn't want to suppress this kind of "rebellion" at all, and what he knows is that those few have already entered this world and started to repair it. And the so-called Battle of the Gods should also begin—taking Xiangpang's attack on Wu as the beginning, the northwest and north should also have movements one after another. At that time, wars will rise from all sides, and only then will loyal ministers, martyrs, heroes, and heroes return to their positions one after another.

"First set up the God-Conferring Platform, right? I can't be Jiang Ziya and Wen Zhong at the same time, right?" Bai Lang complained secretly. His subordinates were not slow. He couldn't take action himself, so he had to spend money to hire migrant workers and common people to do it—five-colored soil from five directions to pad up a three-zhang-six-foot-five-inch earthen platform. On the top, use blue bricks and white jade to build a square platform with railings, one hundred and forty-four steps wide on one side. On it, set up a flag pole of one zhang and eight inches, and hang the God-Conferring List on it.

The God-Conferring List is also simple, because when Bai Lang had this thought, a large scroll appeared in his study. It could be more than a meter long when pulled open. It was neither paper nor silk. God knows what kind of textile it was. In any case, it was blank, and the surroundings were patterns of auspicious clouds. This project could not be rushed. It is estimated that under the responsibility of ordinary people, it will take at least half a year.

After finishing, it must be sacrificed with 'Taolao' (the three sacrificial animals). Fortunately, there is no need to read the sacrificial text. The two words "Shang Xiang" do not need to be read out.

The Great Wu imperial court is increasingly in a mess—although the north has Bai Lang, who has been promoted to Prince of Qin, guarding it, so the Northern Barbarians are extremely quiet. I heard that they are attacking the west instead of habitually moving south. But the rebels in the south cannot be suppressed. I only see him destroying armies, killing generals, attacking cities, and seizing land. The situation is becoming more and more tense—there is also the reason that the southern great clans are trying to raise bandits. Many of them hope that after the imperial court army is helpless, they will open the mouth for the private army and militia of the great clans.

The situation in the northwest is becoming more and more dangerous. The local military generals have already let the common people abandon their land and run to the interior quickly—they are already unable to hold the pass, and once the wolf soldiers break through the pass, it will be a relationship like a sea of blood. These wolf cubs don't mind using people as military rations, and they are also famous for being bloodthirsty. Previously, small countries in the Western Regions were broken by these tribes, and hundreds of thousands of people in the country were slaughtered.

The Jingtai Emperor is just over thirty, but there is already white hair on his head. State affairs are truly not going well—there is rebellion inside and bandits outside, and even the imperial court is not making him worry-free, especially the Jiangnan area, which is completely disobeying orders and is almost openly not following the edict. This matter is helpless. Should I really ask the fifth brother to take action? The Jingtai Emperor is still fearing the fifth brother, Bai Lang, and he has already flattened and rounded the others.

Imperial power is different after all. If you don't achieve the status of Celestial Expert, you still have to obediently listen to the imperial power. Even if there is a backer behind you, as long as you don't think about rebellion, you will naturally give way to the imperial power. So the second and third brothers are now as powerless as tigers falling into the flat sun, and the other brothers are the same. Only the fifth brother, the Celestial Expert, is helpless to the imperial power. The Jingtai Emperor gritted his teeth, paced back and forth in the imperial study, and finally ordered the big eunuch beside him to go out, spread a piece of paper on the desk, and began to write a letter.

After writing, he sealed it and ordered the Jin Yi Guard to send it to the Prince of Qin in Longcheng immediately. The Jingtai Emperor still has control over the factory guards, so it won't be that as soon as they go out, they will show it to someone in the imperial court and then seal it. And after Bai Lang received it, "A family letter? It's not an imperial edict? It seems this boss also has some brains. Let me see what he wrote..." Bai Lang opened the letter and looked. "Yo, he called me quite intimately. He didn't call my princely title but called my courtesy name..."

The result is to let Bai Lang be a thug for him, to go and fiercely clean up some scholar-officials in the imperial court who made the Jingtai Emperor feel very angry. He has no way. As an emperor, he cannot do whatever he wants—but Bai Lang is not an emperor but the Prince of Qin. He can do whatever he wants as long as the emperor doesn't settle accounts with him...

However, Bai Lang doesn't want to go at all, but the Jingtai Emperor is so sick that he is throwing medicine at the doctor. He decided to return to the imperial court to stand up a little bit.

The two princesses did not move and stayed in the Longcheng princely mansion, while Bai Lang himself turned into fire light and traversed the long sky, arriving at the capital in just one day. When entering the city, he did not cover up at all—sneaking in would make the Jingtai Emperor very suspicious, but entering openly and publicly would only make the Jingtai Emperor angry. And this time, the Jingtai Emperor could not be angry, but sent an edict to Bai Lang, who returned to the princely mansion in the capital, saying that he would go to court tomorrow.

Looking at the emperor's trusted Eunuch Wei in front of him, Bai Lang said directly, "I won't go to court. Just say it directly, who does the emperor want me to fix?" Eunuch Wei was stunned, and after a long time, he said a long string of names. "Sure enough, there are many from the Ministry of Revenue and the Censorate, and there are quite a few from the Ministry of Rites. There are even two from the Ministry of Personnel. The hands of these great clans are indeed long." Bai Lang grinned hideously.

This person immediately went out and first killed toward the Censorate. "I heard you want to frame and impeach me?!" Bai Lang accused the villain first, took out a non-existent reason, and shouted for so-and-so to get out! Who can stop a Celestial Expert like Bai Lang? The Censorate is full of Confucian people. After passing the entrance examination and getting an official position, they naturally have cultivation—their own Confucian cultivation plus the power obtained from the dragon Qi of the Great Wu imperial court after being promoted.

This is a practice that can achieve many peculiar effects, but Bai Lang has his own method of restraint—it can also be said that Confucianism and martial arts restrain each other. This move of Bai Lang is called "A scholar meets a soldier"!
