Crossing the Swordsman: Lin Pingzhi, the Swordsman of Evil

Chapter 550

At this time, Master Fangzheng said: "If Yue Buqun swallows up the five mountains, how about Zuo Lengchan? Your Majesty also asks for an order."

After thinking about it, Emperor Wanli replied: "This Zuo Lengchan is vacillating and harboring evil intentions. He joined Gu Gonggong's command, and he just wanted to use the power of the court and Dongchang for his own personal gain. Now Dongfang is undefeated, let me go. They're all dead."

"Although the Sun Moon God Sect has not completely fallen to us, the Sun Moon God Sect is no longer a threat. The Five Sacred Sword Sect has always been a big problem. He has been the leader of the Five Sacred Mountains for so many years, and it is time for him to change."

Fang Zheng said at this time: "Yes! I respect His Majesty's decree."

After the discussion, the crowd dispersed.

Only Lin Pingzhi was still having fun with the girls.

The Emperor Wanli glanced at the spring scene in Lin Pingzhi's room, and couldn't help chuckling. Afterwards, the Son of Heaven also walked into a secret passage leading directly to the South Study Room, and secretly returned to the palace.

At that time, Emperor Jiajing used Beizhen Fusi to monitor all officials, thus achieving the point of "governing by doing nothing".

And the Wanli Emperor's methods are a little more sophisticated. He learned a trick from his teacher Zhang Juzheng, which is to use other people's desires to control others.

At that time, Zhang Juzheng, the chief assistant of the cabinet, was able to secure his position by appointing those self-righteous Jiangnan gentry, the so-called "Qing School". These people were pretentious, and Zhang Juzheng gave them enough face and benefits. He is obedient, cleans up the legacy left by the strict party and Xu Jie and others for him, and serves as a pawn for him to ascend to the position of chief minister of the cabinet.

But the current situation has changed a bit, that is, the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River are constantly growing bigger in the court.Emperor Wanli naturally wanted to use new means to check and balance them.

Because of the events of the Jiajing Dynasty, the officials in the court knew the strength of Fusi in Beizhen, so these new gentry from Jiangnan kept an eye out.It is not easy for Beizhen Fusi to monitor secretly.

Therefore, the Emperor Wanli created a place called Huixian Yaxu, where these officials would immerse themselves in the gentleness, and then use women to secretly monitor their every move, so as to control them.

Because of this method, in the tenth year of Wanli, Emperor Wanli finally won over his courtiers, overthrew the powerful teacher Zhang Juzheng, and regained his power.

Although the current Emperor Wanli does not go to court, he is only following the example of Emperor Jiajing.It does not mean that he has no control over the situation.

And his power of control comes from here, a land of romance called "Hui Xian Ya Xu".

He likes lustful officials, because generally lustful officials are the easiest to satisfy and the best to control.Just give them a gentle place, and they will obey you.

Confucianism violates the law with writing, and chivalry violates prohibition with martial arts.

In the Mongol and Yuan Dynasties, the ban on martial arts was promulgated, but in the end it was resisted by warriors from all over the world. In the end, the territory of the Great Yuan Dynasty, which was so vast and unprecedented, was also driven back to the Mongolian grassland by the power of these warriors.

When Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty was restored, it was the Sun Moon Sect that made Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu sick in bed.In the end, Zhu Qizhen successfully seized the door and reset successfully.

Therefore, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the power of Jianghu has never been underestimated.

In order to recruit civil and military talents from the people, Emperor Yongle used stereotypes to select scholars, making scholars all over the world enthusiastic about the imperial examinations, letting them spend their entire lives in the vortex of imperial examinations, and saving these literati from disrupting the country with their writing.

As for how to deal with these warriors, the way the imperial court came up with was to stir up confrontation between the rivers and lakes.Use various means to make the warriors in the rivers and lakes kill each other, but in short, you can't let them be monolithic and use various means to divide them.

Therefore, in order to maintain their status in the arena, some old sects also began to fall to the imperial court, helping the imperial court to provoke the confrontation between the arena and divide the arena.

But not all people from the rivers and lakes are interested in being the court's dog.

For example, the Eastern leader who is the only one who is invincible at sunrise in the east, and Ren Woxing who is the lord of the martial arts, in the eyes of Emperor Wanli, they are people who are very ignorant of current affairs.

There are also people like Zuo Lengchan who, in turn, use the court to strengthen their power.The Songshan School can develop so strong, it is inseparable from the support of the imperial court.

Zuo Lengchan had found Dongchang as a backer many years ago, which is why the government in Zhongzhou turned a blind eye to the actions of the Songshan School.

Zuo Lengchan took advantage of the court's protection, and the Songshan faction grew rapidly within a few years.It has become the leading sect in the orthodox martial arts.

Emperor Wanli asked the governor of Fujian to invite Lin Pingzhi to become an official several times, but Lin Pingzhi always couldn't shirk it.Emperor Wanli also felt that this Lin Pingzhi was also a person who was ignorant of current affairs.

But until today, when he saw with his own eyes that Lin Pingzhi had so much fun with the girls, he completely put his heart back in his stomach.

Since he has human flaws, this person can be recruited for his own use.

But the people who want to win over Lin Pingzhi are not limited to Emperor Wanli and his group.

Emperor Wanli learned from Huixian's elegant preface that someone paid Lin Pingzhi the expenses in Huixian's elegant preface, and also sent his wife a lot of cotton clothes, charcoal and other items.

And Emperor Wanli also knew who the person who flattered Lin Pingzhi so diligently was.

That is the largest salt merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, President Huang of the Salt Merchants Association.

It's just that this salt merchant is just a clown in front of the stage. The real people behind him are the gentry groups in Jiangnan.With their support, the chairman of the Salt Merchants Association will be at ease.

But Emperor Wanli is very happy now, after all, everything is under his control.And Lin Pingzhi has nothing to do with these people.

As long as you hit him at the right time, I believe Lin Pingzhi can adjust his position.

At least after these few days of observation, he found that Lin Pingzhi was quite a smart person.

Lin Pingzhi was in Huixian's elegant preface, he was happy and romantic enough, so he was sent home by car.

Although it was a play on the spot today, Lin Pingzhi also got an unprecedented feeling.After all, compared to the innocent girls like Qu Feiyan and the others, the women in Fengyue Field are more interesting.

Today, Mei Huahong used what she had learned all her life to serve him. This made Lin Pingzhi feel for the first time why men love to go to that kind of place, even if there are many beautiful wives and concubines at home.

After all, it feels really different.

And Lin Pingzhi also got Mei Huahong's arrangement, that is, to go to Yutai Tea House to pick up Li Xingyao's mother and daughter three days later.

Then go to Ji Wushi and bring the other people from Yihua Palace closer to the mansion.

In the next few days, Lin Pingzhi lived a three-point and one-line life.And Emperor Wanli did not summon him.

After that day, Lin Pingzhi changed his clothes according to the agreement and went to Yutai Tea House, planning to buy Li Xingyao's mother and daughter back home.
