In the following days, the snow became heavier and heavier, and the war between Dongzhou and Dongying was temporarily suspended.

Above the East China Sea, the sea was frosty and the ice was thick, making it impossible for warships to move forward, and they had to rely on manpower to transport supplies to the coast of the East China Sea.

At the same time, the Dongying people also took advantage of this rare opportunity to occupy the borderless land around the battlefield and began to take root in Dongzhou.

The next time the war starts, the Dongying people will push the battlefield forward and further encroach on Dongzhou.

This island country from the east did not leave for the sake of grabbing a game, they really wanted to take root in the land of the Central Plains and invade the territory of the Central Plains.

The Yanhuang Mountains in Dongzhou are four miles out, the snow covers the mountains, and a purple electric light shoots into the mountains and enters a hidden valley.

This valley is not much different from other mountain places, all covered with snow, but here there are people who have not been found in other places.

The black-haired and white-clothed figure sat cross-legged on the snow, with a snow-white sword in front of him, faintly echoing the snow and the snow.

"Heavens. ”

After Lin Zixiao entered the valley, he subconsciously restrained his breath, and there was a trace of respect in his words.

"Yangtian, you're here. ”

Qing Yu opened his eyes, and the true qi in his body was still running, adapting to this new body.

During this time, Qing Yu's incarnation, Ren Miao, returned to Zhenwumen, merged the two bodies, and returned to Dongzhou with another body.

This body is the body of the silver buttle Zhu Wu.

The new body needs a little time to run in, and Qing Yu simply has been living in seclusion in the valley and not dealing with the Jiang family.

"What is the current situation of the Jiang family?" asked Qing Yu.

"As you expected, the Jiang family and Daqian have quietly come into contact. Lin Zixiao replied with certainty.

Qing Yu's incarnated Ren Piaomiao and Lin Zixiao helped the Jiang family, relieved Dongying's advance, repelled Amaterasu and Moonlit Night, and became the Jiang family's guests.

In a sense, they even have the same enemies as the Jiang family. Jiang Muyun is not only a traitor to the Jiang family, but also an undercover traitor in Jiutian, and both sides are hostile to Dongying, to whom she belongs.

But this doesn't actually mean that the Jiang family will advance and retreat with Jiutian, and they may not even help each other. Especially, in the current situation where the human emperor spirit is born.

Eight generations of Huanglie Mountain, but the ancestor of the Jiang family.

In terms of relationship, the Jiang family is still closer to Daqian. It is still a member of the Great Cadres.

"Then you don't have to stay in Yanhuangling next, go back to Northern Zhou with me. Qing Yu said.

"Don't help the Jiang family defend Dongzhou?"

"They don't need our help anymore. Qing Yu stood up and said.

At the end of the battle in southern Xinjiang, the cadres were already able to free their hands. Although it is still necessary to send a strong man to confront Hou Qian, it is still no problem to keep the Jiang family.

It is meaningless to stay in Dongzhou, and it will even be borrowed by the Jiang family and become a knife for them to deal with Dongying. The reason why the Jiang family quietly contacted Daqian was probably to use the idea of Nine Heavens.

"Back to Northern Zhou. Next, the Northern Zhou side is also going to be calm. ”

When he said this, there seemed to be a storm brewing in Qing Yu's eyes.

························

Northern Zhou Dynasty, Imperial Palace, Nourishing Heart Palace.

Zhuge Longsu bowed and saluted: "Minister Zhuge Longsu, meet Your Majesty." ”

"If it's not a court meeting, Master Zhuge doesn't need to be so polite," Emperor Zhou instructed left and right while reviewing the folds, "Give a seat." ”

When the little eunuch on the side heard this, he silently retreated, and moved a Taishi chair from the side hall for Zhuge Longsu to sit.

"On the occasion of this New Year, the Taishi braved the heavy snow to see me, I think there are some important things. ”

Emperor Zhou still didn't raise his head to review the folds, and said.

"Your Majesty, the minister does have something important," Zhuge Longsu sat down and said, "This year's heavy snowfall, its scale is really rare, and the minister has never seen such a big snow in my dynasty for many years."

Heavy snowfall for several days has become a snow disaster, and towns in mountainous areas have suffered avalanches, and the casualties are not small. ”

"I know that I have already ridden General Xu Tiecheng to the disaster relief. On the side of the household department, disaster relief has also been prepared, the Ministry of Industry has sent people to repair the houses, and there are also Taoist officials from the Qin Tianjian side to assist. Emperor Zhou replied.

There is snow in the north every year, but this year's heavy snow is not comparable to previous years. Even the south can accumulate a foot and a half of snow, let alone the northland.

It was Emperor Zhou who sent people to prepare the corresponding matters early and provide disaster relief in a timely manner.

"Your Majesty is far-sighted. Zhuge Longsu praised.

"Flattery is forgiven, and I don't have time to listen to flattery now. ”

Emperor Zhou raised his head and patted the folds piled up on his left hand, "Look, these are all the twists and turns sent by the Taishou and Fu Yin in the cities of Sanzhou, and there is no time to be idle at the beginning of the year."

Especially in Mengzhou, the plan to transform Mengzhou has also been temporarily suspended due to this heavy snowfall, which is really annoying. ”

Mengzhou, that is, the grassland, the grassland people are nomadic people, and basically live in tents. This is because they breed sheep and horses, live in water and grass, and there are also environmental factors in the grassland itself.

Therefore, for the transformation of the grassland, it is not only necessary to build houses in the Central Plains, but also to transform the environment to make this place suitable for the Chinese people.

What Emperor Zhou wanted was to let the grasslands be assimilated by the Central Plains, not to let the people who went to Mengzhou become another kind of nomadic people.

But how difficult it is to transform the environment, even the world-changing martial arts such as the Zhou Liuliu Void Gong requires a lot of calculations and manpower. The slightest disharmony may deteriorate the environment and turn it into the Great Desert of the Western Regions next door.

Therefore, the grassland transformation plan is the most involved in the national strength of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and it is also the most worrying to the Zhou Emperor.

Of course, there is another part of the reason why he is so concerned about the country, in addition to governing the country. Let's not talk about the well-being of the common people and grasp the benefits brought by Qiankun, let's talk about the transformation of the land of Mengzhou.

The incarnation of Emperor Zhou is mainly to compete with the will of humanity for control of the dragon vein. But fighting with one's own will and humanity alone is not a long-term solution.

Qing Yu will also be tired, and he also needs to rest. Although he didn't sleep for many years, it was because his recovery exceeded his consumption.

And the competition with the will of humanity cannot be consumed. Qing Yu's will alone cannot be consumed by the will of humanity that has been entrenched in the earth for thousands of years.

Fight strength, Qingyu can still win, fight consumption, Qingyu will undoubtedly lose.

Therefore, in addition to suppressing the dragon vein with the body of Emperor Zhou, it is also necessary to strike at the will of humanity and collect the dragon vein in his own body.

The transformation of Mengzhou is an important part of the means of retraction. Transforming the environment of Mengzhou, marking the dragon vein with its own mark, and completely freeing it from the possibility of being controlled by the will of humanity is the truth of the Mengzhou plan.

In short, step by step, the Northern Zhou Dragon Vein was transformed into its own shape.

"Taishi, you have been running around for a few days, you should not only be for these things on the surface. Zhou Huang asked with a smile.

What he knew was that Zhuge Longsu had been running around in the past few days, personally investigating the disaster situation in various places. Relying on the strength of his Divine Realm, he had just walked around the Northern Zhou in a few days, and now he came here definitely not for these known things.

"Your Majesty. ”

Master Zhuge Taishi, who is proficient in words, slapped another sentence before he continued: "Recently, the minister has been running around all over the country and found that all the state capitals are in good order and are dedicated to fighting disasters. There are also many people from the Taoist sect who give porridge in various places, and they seem to be compassionate in the world. ”

"It seems, so there is an ulterior motive. Emperor Zhou finally raised some interest.

Since Qing Yu unified the Daomen, the various factions of the Daomen have gradually shifted to the Northern Zhou. In the territory of this northern land, there are finally many more Taoist priests, and the whole country has a faint tendency of the Taoist kingdom on the ground.

The reason why this is so is naturally because of Qing Yu's status in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

Those great families knew that Qing Yu, a Taoist, was very important in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and it could even be said that one person was above ten thousand people, and they worked hard to win over the people in the Taoist sect and study the principles of Taoism and governance.

The upward and downward effects, the above is so, and the officials below are naturally obedient. In this way, Taoism swept the Northern Zhou Dynasty and competed with Confucianism.

Emperor Zhou knew this well and did not interfere. After all, it is not a good thing for one family to be dominant, and letting Taoism and Confucianism fight against each other is the way to balance the emperor.

And now, Zhuge Longsu, a Confucian figure, is implying that the Taoist soup soup contains evil intentions.

"Taishi, you should know what you're talking about, right?" Emperor Zhou asked with interest.

This kind of evidence, if you are not careful, it will harm your own end, with the wisdom of Zhuge Longsu, if you are not absolutely sure, it should not be so.

He is the president of Shanhe Academy, and his words and deeds represent Confucianism, and he should not do rash things.

"The minister knows," Zhuge Longsu got up and said, "Taoist soup is a good thing. However, in addition to giving porridge, these Taoists did not forget to spread their beliefs, so that the victims believed in the so-called Qinglian Relief Heavenly Venerable and acted according to the teachings.

This hand of honey and the hand of teachings have already lured many disaster victims to join the church, and now nearly 10,000 disaster victims have become faithful believers, and there are countless potential disaster victims. ”

Believe in Qinglian to save suffering, and gather people to become a religion. This is no longer just a soup kitchen, but a mission.

And those who preach in times of great calamity are themselves inseparable from the term "ulterior motives." It is not an exaggeration to say that it harbors evil intentions.

This kind of behavior of using the people's minds to guide their faith in the aftermath of the disaster is really not a bright act. Moreover, if you look at the history books, you will find that generally after this model of religion becomes a climate, it will basically embark on the road of rebellion against the dynasty.

Famous examples, Taiping Dao and White Lotus Sect, all belong to this list.

"This is really interesting," Emperor Zhou couldn't help laughing a little, "It hasn't been long since the Daomen was cleaned, and people who don't know whether they are alive or dead have appeared so soon." ”

He didn't suspect that Zhuge Longsu was lying, because this kind of thing was too easy to verify. As long as you send someone to check carefully, you can basically know whether the Qinglian Salvation Heavenly Venerable exists.

Even, as long as there are some unconventional means, maybe even the people behind the scenes can be quickly dug out.
