Douluo: Law of Heaven and Earth

Chapter 743 Li Ai: I will share your majesty’s worries!
The development and growth of the Red Society had already attracted the attention of the two empires, especially the Tiandou Empire. Emperor Xue Ye, who had personally felt Zhou Qing's mental aura, had no doubt that all the actions of Zhou Qing and his gang were intended to overthrow the Tiandou Empire!
Not to mention, the knowledge taught in the Hope Primary School, especially the analysis of the different classes between commoners, nobles and soul masters, clearly shows how the powerful class of an empire uses the invisible and intangible, but real system to exploit ordinary people.

Even if adults know this, they have already lost their spirit and just want to survive.

Emperor Xue Ye didn't care.

But what about the younger children?
More importantly, Zhou Qing, Tang San and their gang are just kids!

When they come of age, how much impact will they have on the entire empire?
If Zhou Qing and Tang San were merely spirit masters with excellent talents, Emperor Xue Ye would not care too much about them, because even if they really grew up and became Titled Douluo, they could only enter the current system.

At most, there will be one more sect on the continent.

but!

they are not!

Especially Zhou Qing, who has political acumen and can even see through the essence of how the empire works!

But now——

Even though the empire and various forces, both large and small, sent spies to investigate the details of the Red Society, they were unable to clearly understand the Red Society's governance philosophy.

Equality with the people?

Emperor Xue Ye would never believe that a person with such a domineering aura would be a monarch who is willing to share the world with the common people!
therefore.

During the court meeting, Emperor Xue Ye, who was sitting high on the imperial chair, and his civil and military officials lined up on both sides of the hall below were dealing with various government affairs, and were about to mention the Chihui matter again.

That's right, he has mentioned it many times, and even thought about increasing taxes in the Notting and Shenghun areas, so as to force Zhou Qing to rebel in advance so that he would have a reason to take them down.

But it cannot be implemented in a short period of time.

As Emperor Xue Ye learned more about the Chi Hui, he became more wary of them!

But at this moment, he saw his son, Xue Qinghe, standing up and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"Ahem! What's the matter?"

Emperor Xue Ye coughed twice. Naturally, he would not offend his son. He also hoped that Xue Qinghe could take charge of his own affairs as soon as possible. After all, he was old.

"According to the intelligence from the Northeastern Border and the Marshal of Zhenbei City, the Heavenly Soul Kingdom has been expanding its army in recent years. We must be on guard."

Snow clears the river.

"Heavenly Soul Country?"

Emperor Xue Ye also knew about the kingdom's evil ambitions, and he immediately had a headache. After all, the Tianhun Kingdom was only training and expanding its army, and had not invaded Tiandou. It was still submitting to Tiandou on the surface.

However, as Qinghe said, we have to be on guard.

Although Tiandou has a million strong army, they are guarding various city gates, and the north is extremely cold. Soldiers from other places are transferred to Zhenbei City. The severe cold climate alone is enough to greatly reduce their combat effectiveness.

Moreover, if we want to take action against the Tianhun Kingdom, we must also consider the feelings of the kings of other kingdoms and principalities.

Therefore, if direct military action fails, we must reason with them - the Xingluo Empire is eyeing the entire Tiandou area! If civil strife breaks out and the Xingluo Empire finds an opportunity, no one will be left unharmed!

However, for Xue Ye, dealing with the Chi Society is more important. After all, if the Tianhun Kingdom really wants to send troops to Tiandou, he believes that the marshal of Zhenbei City can fight back.

It would just take more time to appease the other kingdoms and principalities that had surrendered to the Tiandou Empire.

But Chi will be different!
Although weak, Zhou Qing's thoughts have spread. If they are further spread and the residents of all the main cities in the Tiandou Empire understand them, it will shake the rule of the entire empire!

After Emperor Xue Ye raised the issue of the Red Society, his ministers also began to discuss it.

To be honest, they did not expect that a team that they thought would be suppressed and used by all major forces had already established a basic base, and even jumped out of the continent's gradually improved interest system of soul masters and nobles to start a new business.

In form, the development of the Red Society seems to be similar to that of the Spirit Hall, but it pays more attention to the actual interests of ordinary people. The Spirit Hall also only pays attention to civilian spirit masters.

"Your Majesty, it is not difficult to deal with the Red Society."

A general stood up and said, "With only a thousand soldiers, I can wipe out the Red Bandits!"

Red bandit?

This directly labels the Red Society as gangsters.

In fact, Emperor Xue Ye also wanted to fight directly, but he needed a reason, a suitable and appropriate reason. After all, he was a noble emperor, not a beast who only knew how to show off his strength!
"No!"

A civil official came out to stop him, "In the countryside, a large-scale war will inevitably cause panic among the people. In my opinion, why not take two approaches at the same time?"

Emperor Xue Ye became interested: "How do you do this in two ways?"

Xue Qinghe was also curious.

I only heard this person say: "Your Majesty, the so-called two-pronged approach is divided into internal and external methods.

The external method is to make known to the world the evil ambitions of the Red Society and publicize the ideas it spreads, which are nothing but crooked and evil and misleading, so as to arouse the vigilance of local people and people in other regions.

The internal method is to start from the inside, cut off the connection between members of their team and shake the foundation.

As long as you are human, you will always have weaknesses.

Whether for profit or emotion, find the weaknesses, undermine them, take advantage of loopholes, and look for gaps, then target them one by one and you can defeat them one by one.

By then, no matter how powerful Zhou Qing is, it will be of no use. When he is most exhausted, pouring a bucket of cold water on him will make him lose his spirit."

Xue Ye heard this and thought to himself, "Great!" He then said, "If that's the case, you can do it, Li Ai."

"My lord! I obey the order!"

Li Ai returned to the column.

The civil official in front of him took a small step forward calmly, while the civil official behind him also took a small step back.

Obvious.

Li Ai's insidiousness made even her colleagues stay away from her.

But he himself didn't care, instead he laughed at others' incompetence in his heart: [I share your majesty's worries, so your majesty will naturally value me! ]

But Xue Qinghe sighed secretly.

If it is used against ordinary people, Li Ai's internal and external methods may be feasible, but it will definitely not succeed against Zhou Qing, Tang San and their entire team.

Such a mental aura is so firm and resolute, how can it be broken by a mere trick?
However, Xue Qinghe did not stand up to object.

What if it succeeds?

She held out a glimmer of hope.

After all, judging from the news that the spies below had conveyed back from the Red Society, this newly established force, regardless of its average strength, was extremely dangerous in terms of ideology, as if it was going to be an enemy of the powerful class of the entire Douluo Continent. Even the Spirit Hall was often analyzed within the Red Society, and some people within the Red Society even bluntly stated that the Spirit Hall had the ambition to establish a country and become an emperor.

And considering that there are undercover agents from various forces within the Chihui, it is estimated that this kind of analysis has also been passed on to various sects and families.

【Alas, these are troubled times! 】

[However, Zhou Qing, Tang San, your focus is just like that. My mother and I have to take into account the future of the entire Douluo Continent! ]
