Chapter 387 Resignation
Li Hongzhao slowly put down the book and looked at Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan saw that the book she was reading was "Three Dynasties Ancient and Modern Discussions" written by Zhou Jichang, a great scholar.

It writes about why Da Meng, Da Jing and Da Zhen cannot coexist and why there is constant war.

The analysis is profound, but the insights are not so profound.

Dajing and Dazhen are of the same origin and their fight is between brothers, but Dameng and Dajing and Dazhen are different. The constant war is not just because of old grudges or interests, but involves deeper levels.

It involves a conflict between two civilizations.

Chu Zhiyuan read this thin book and agreed with it deeply.

However, what is said in this booklet is somewhat exaggerated, excluding many complex factors and magnifying one factor.

The view is quite extreme.

Chu Zhiyuan asked: "Do you think what is written in this book makes sense?"

"Some of it." Li Hongzhao frowned slightly: "It's specious and very inflammatory."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled as he looked at her beautiful face.

Li Hongzhao snorted, "This Zhou guy has bad intentions."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Many people have read this book. It is widely circulated in Dajing. Almost everyone who cares about government affairs has a copy."

Li Hongzhao said: "He is afraid that the fight between Da Meng, Da Jing and Da Zhen will not be fierce enough."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "At least it's good about Dajing and Dazhen."

Li Hongzhao snorted and said, "Our Da Meng and Da Jing are fighting a civilizational war, a war rooted in the source. Your Da Jing and Da Zhen are just brothers fighting against each other, which is ridiculous."

Chu Zhiyuan looked at her with a smile.

Li Hongzhao said: "After all, it's just a fight for interests, how can there be any superiority or inferiority?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "We must find a reasonable excuse for us to break up and get back together with Dazhen, so that the people on both sides can accept it more."

Li Hongzhao hit the nail on the head with one sentence.

It all boils down to a struggle for interests, and the so-called rift between brothers is just a beautified excuse.

Dajing and Dazhen do have the same cultural origins and their customs and folkways are not much different, but they are very different from Daming.

But whether the cultures have the same origin or not, and whether the customs and habits are very different, has nothing to do with conflicts of interest.

When it comes to interests, not to mention brothers, even fathers and sons will fight to the death.

The separations and reunions of Dajing and Dazhen were completely determined by the ups and downs of Daming.

When Dameng prospered, Dajing and Dazhen united; when Dameng declined, Dajing and Dazhen separated and fought to the death.

It is normal to think that when the Dameng was in decline, Dajing and Dazhen should have joined forces and taken advantage of this good opportunity to jointly destroy the Dameng and divide it up.

But the fact is that it can't be done.

One is that the cost is too high.

The two are wary of each other and cannot work together.

Third, once the Mongol Empire was destroyed, there would be no buffer between the two dynasties, and there would inevitably be year-round war, a fight to the death, and only one side would survive.

Neither side has a chance of winning, not to mention that they don't think it's necessary.

Once that situation comes to pass, countless people will die and the power of the Emperor's Sword will be greatly weakened.

Li Hongzhao's bright eyes fell on his face with a smile.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at her in confusion.

Li Hongzhao smiled and said, "Have you heard the news outside?"

"what?"

"News about the Eighteenth Princess not liking you and preferring death to marrying you."

"Extremely boring." Chu Zhiyuan laughed: "Someone is taking advantage of the situation to stir up trouble. Let it be."

"You don't want to dispel the rumors?"

"What rumor are you trying to dispel?" Chu Zhiyuan said, "It was originally the truth."

"Tsk tsk..." Li Hongzhao smiled and said, "Are you not angry at all? Being looked down upon by others, don't you want to take revenge?"

Chu Zhiyuan looked at her speechlessly: "It wasn't you who did it?"

"I haven't reacted yet." Li Hongzhao said: "This move is really powerful. I learned it."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "If it's really you who did it, then be prepared to lose a secret agent."

Li Hongzhao snorted, "How can we possibly find out about this kind of rumor?"

She waved her hands.

One by one, the file boxes were moved to the stone table in the pavilion.

There are six book boxes in total.

Chu Zhiyuan stared at the book boxes and smiled: "Don't underestimate the Zhenwu Division."

The Zhenwu Division still has a very tight control over the inner city of Yujing. Each hall and each courtyard divides the inner city into small areas.

Know every area well.

Yujing City seemed bustling with people, and people were constantly entering Yujing City.

But the population movement in the inner city is regular and has its own specific areas.

Elsewhere, it's relatively stable.

Therefore, the Zhenwu Division has a very strong control over Yujing City, and we really need to investigate.

Even if the person who spread the rumor escapes, we can still get a general idea of ​​what happened.

Chu Zhiyuan was too lazy to dwell on this.

The more you hold on to it, the more impressive it becomes; if it becomes light, people's attention will quickly shift.

There are countless royal secrets like this. Today it’s one, and tomorrow it’s another. There’s always some eye-catching news.

Li Hongzhao snorted, "Don't you think the timing of this rumor is strange?"

"What's weird?"

"I always feel like something's not right."

"Is it similar to Wen Tianya's method?"

"...Not like it." Li Hongzhao thought for a moment and shook his head, "Wen Tianya would not resort to such despicable means. I don't even bother to use them."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, “Wen Tianya has his own pride.”

"You are so arrogant." Li Hongzhao snorted, "You don't care about other people, everyone in the world is just a chess piece."

"Including the emperor?" Chu Zhiyuan asked.

Li Hongzhao hesitated, and finally nodded gently: "Including the emperor."

Chu Zhiyuan pointed at the seven file boxes and said, "Is that all?"

"It's already a lot." Li Hongzhao snorted, "It's very difficult to collect information about Wentianya."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded, said no more, and started flipping through the book impatiently.

He flipped through the files at an incredibly fast speed, as if he was just flipping through them casually without reading them carefully.

In fact, through super-sensory insight, a single glance can imprint it into the brain.

You can recall it slowly and ponder it slowly later.

Li Hongzhao frowned slightly and looked at Chu Zhiyuan. She was shocked to find that he read so fast.

She would never think that Chu Zhiyuan was just rummaging around or pretending.

The ability to process files so quickly is an amazing talent.

The speed and ability to handle files determines the scope of power.

This is especially important if you become an emperor.

There is a competition for time between court affairs and cultivation. Time is limited, and court affairs take up more time, leaving less time for cultivation.

With this speed, his practice will not be delayed.

While Chu Zhiyuan was still flipping through the books, the food was already served on the table.

Chu Zhiyuan ate his food while flipping through the pages.

Li Hongzhao ate her meal slowly and chewed gently with her red lips, looking elegant and charming.

Chu Zhiyuan finished reading the files and had his fill. He raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp. Then he put it down and said with a smile, "You are indeed worthy of being the number one secret agent, Da Meng!"

The records in these files are far more detailed and comprehensive than those in the Supervisory Office.

When it comes to information gathering, the Supervisory Office is indeed far behind Dameng.

Through this information, we can reversely infer how the secret spies of Da Meng are deployed.

These are all areas where the Inspectorate needs to learn from experience and work hard to improve.

After he read these, he had a more comprehensive understanding of Wentian Cliff.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at Li Hongzhao: "Is Gao Jiuqu's identity really so important?"

“As long as you become a grandmaster, you will take over the position of cliff master.” Li Hongzhao said solemnly.

Chu Zhiyuan pondered.

Li Hongzhao snorted, "You look down on him?"

Chu Zhiyuan said: "I was just thinking, with his personality like this, is he really suitable to be the Cliff Master?"

"Do you think the master of Wentian Cliff is good at conspiracies and intrigues?" Li Hongzhao said with a smile.

Chu Zhiyuan sighed: "My vision is too narrow."

Li Hongzhao said: "It's good that you know. Wen Tianya is following an open strategy, so there is no need for conspiracy."
