Chapter 105: The Emperor Says
At this time, Fang Xiaoyu's expression was really wonderful and made people laugh. But Fang Xiaoyu didn't laugh much herself.
The Emperor's purpose in doing so. That's what she desperately wants to know.
She had been a general in a certain life of reincarnation, but that was different from now. In that era, it was common for women to be generals and officials, although there would be many difficulties and men's oppression, but the era itself did not exclude women from entering the picture.
But this life is different, there has been no precedent for a woman to be an official since ancient times, let alone holding military power. You must know that military power is of vital importance to any country and emperor, and it is the foundation of the country. If you have military power in your hands, you will be sure, and no emperor is willing to put his life on others.
The most important thing is that she is Fang Jianzhang's daughter, and Fang Jianzhang still holds 500,000 Zhenyuan troops in his hands.
As far as she knows, the emperor has 1.2 million military powers, which is also the fundamental reason why he can deter those generals who guard the border passes. Then, her father held 500,000 in his hands, and General Shi of the Southern Regions also held 500,000 in his hands. There are a few generals who have two or three hundred thousand in their hands, which is almost the structure of the great inheritance of military power.
Although Fang Xiaoyu was shocked beyond measure, fortunately she was not too out of shape. She thought in her heart that if the emperor gave her three or four hundred people to bring, it would not be too exaggerated. Although it is unprecedented for a woman to get military power, even if it is a few hundred people, she thinks that Ye Shiqin, as an emperor, should not give her too many rights.
In fact, Fang Xiaoyu didn't want too much power. In this life, she just wants to be a quiet god, fooling people with nothing to do, having money to spend, having food to eat, and eating after eating. You see, her wish is so unpretentious.
"You have this token. From now on, these men will be your soldiers. Two years, I give you two years, and I want you to not only improve the strength of the soldiers in two years, but also refresh their spirits. They're going to be the killer I used to slap that old thing in the face. The Emperor handed over a sign that looked unpretentious.
The moment Fang Xiaoyu saw this brand, his eyes widened instantly, and he said with a ghostly expression: "Your Majesty, are you serious?" ”
"You don't joke." The emperor seemed to anticipate Fang Xiaoyu's reaction, and replied affirmatively: "My army only recognizes brands and not people. By handing these people over to you, I am also leaving a way back for me. The emperor's tone was a little tired.
"Your Majesty, but something else happened? If it was just Emperor Dayu coming to Dacheng, he would not let His Majesty show such fatigue. Fang Xiaoyu's question was already a little bold. But Fang Xiaoyu guessed that there should be something else that made the emperor feel the need to hand over these people to her.
Although there was a lot of snow before, it was said that the emperor should not be so easy to believe that she would hand over some of her soldiers to her for training. There must have been something tricky that didn't give her so much time to test her.
That is, the emperor is gambling. Bet she would never betray him.
If you win the bet, you will naturally be happy, and if you lose the bet, it will make matters worse at most. The emperor must have a hole card, perhaps, this is also a temptation?
Fang Xiaoyu is also gambling. Bet on the same as in his previous life, the emperor is still a Ming monarch. Otherwise, she really has to plan another way back.
"You guessed right." The emperor smiled tiredly, handed another fold to Fang Xiaoyu and said, "I listened to your conversation with Fang Aiqing before, but I still didn't believe it. I know that his protégés are all over the government and the opposition, but I am confident that I can control him. It's just that I didn't expect that his ambition is far more than that, he has already stretched out his hand so long, and my army is also full of his henchmen! ”
The cold glint in the emperor's eyes flashed, and the killing intent in that moment was undisguised in front of Fang Xiaoyu.
A companion is like a tiger. Fang Xiaoyu couldn't have been clearer from the beginning.
After hastily reading the content on the excerpt, Fang Xiaoyu was not calm in his heart. Mei Cangyun, the old fox, is really not simple, and he has been laid out for decades, which seems to be undoubted, but it makes those talents who have empty ambitions but have no way out of their lives appreciate his kindness.
Once these people have the idea of repaying Mei Cangyun's gratitude, then the energy exerted by these 'believers' distributed in various locations is incalculable.
And it is difficult to hide the affairs of the court from the emperor, after all, which emperor is a vegetarian? However, things in the army are ever-changing, and there is even a saying that 'generals will not be subject to foreign military orders', so it is no wonder that military generals are prone to suspicion since ancient times.
After all, the affairs of the court are under the eyes of the emperor. But the army is outside, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, so it is too easy to operate.
In fact, Fang Xiaoyu believes that although Mei Cangyun has arranged so many back hands and placed so many chess pieces in the court army, he may not want to rebel, but he wants to master everything to ensure that the Prime Minister's Mansion can be invincible in the future.
What Mei Cangyun wants most now should be that the Mei Guifei in the palace can give birth to a prince, and all the connections and resources he holds in his hands can be used on this prince who has half of the blood of his Mei family.
But what Mei Cangyun didn't know was that Concubine Mei would never be pregnant.
Fang Xiaoyu didn't know where Ye Xici found this almost undetectable medicine for pregnancy, but the facts had already been created, the fifth prince drugged Mei Guifei in order to avenge his biological mother's revenge, and it was impossible for Mei Cangyun to want a child who had lost half of the Mei family's blood. Mei Cangyun's calculations and plans have to make wedding clothes for others after all. And this other person is either the second prince Ye Shucheng, or the crown prince Ye Shuyun, or...... It was Emperor Ye Shiqin.
"The emperor is not afraid that the courtiers will also have plans?" Fang Xiaoyu looked at the emperor's expression keenly, if the emperor had the slightest bit of wrongness, then she would also have some reservations. She wants to be a god with peace of mind, but it doesn't matter who the emperor of Dacheng is, as long as it is not Ye Shucheng, even if it is a common person who overthrows the Ye family's dynasty, it has nothing to do with her.
The world is big, and its own life is the greatest. She is not cheap enough to dedicate her loyalty to someone who is hostile to her, or even murderous.
"Will you?" The emperor asked Fang with a smile but not a smile.
Fang Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "No." Can the emperor believe it? ”
"I don't know." The Emperor shook his head in the same way.
Very good, very normal answer. If he had said that she had no doubt that he believed in him, she would have left the palace as soon as possible.
"I hope you don't live up to my trust, and that's just my hope." The emperor looked at Fang Xiaoyu with a serious expression and a stern expression.
Fang Xiaoyu suddenly felt that the burden on his body was much heavier, what was going on? Obviously, she just wants to be a simple, cute, beautiful, kind and generous god.
However, in the face of the emperor's serious expression, and recalling the emperor in her previous life, she instantly aged dozens of years old because of those natural disasters**, she actually felt a little unbearable.
Fang smiled and smiled. Why did she become emotional after deciding to change to a different way of living in this life?
"Your Majesty, the courtiers will not betray this country, as long as the country does not betray the courtiers. Courtiers are human beings, and if they are human beings, they have seven emotions and six desires. If it is said that the courtiers do not hesitate to sacrifice a qiē for their family and country, this qiē is really too unconvincing. For courtiers, the lives of courtiers, the safety of their families, and the happiness of their fathers, younger brothers, sisters, and even future husbands are more important than anything else. As long as Dacheng does not betray the family of the courtiers, the courtiers are willing to be loyal to the emperor in order to make their lives better, not to mention, the fate of the courtiers is closely linked to the country. If Dacheng suffers a catastrophe or even does not survive zài, the life of the courtiers will come to an end, even if it is for herself, the courtiers will not betray Dacheng and betray the emperor. Fang Xiaoyu said very sensational, but he just wanted to move the emperor with emotion and emotion. Compared with saying big words and shouting slogans, she is a woman, and the moment when sensibility triumphs over reason is easier for the emperor to accept.
"You may not betray this country, but it doesn't matter who runs it, but?" The emperor instantly seized the loophole in Fang Xiaoyu's words.
"Yes." Fang Xiaoyu was not flustered, nor did he deny it, but generously admitted: "This country, this country that belongs to Dacheng, anyone can be the emperor." But the emperor, if the world changes masters, how can the courtiers ensure that this person will be a bright monarch? Will you give respect to your courtiers? Will you treat the courtier's family well? And how can the courtiers ensure that she will believe the words of the courtiers and not treat them as a terrible monster? If the emperor can trust his courtiers as always, why can't the courtiers enjoy this trust with peace of mind? Why should a courtier gamble on the future of herself and her family? ”
"Just because anyone in the world can be the emperor, so why bother? The emperor is a bright monarch, and he has been working hard for the well-being of the people, reviewing and folding until midnight every night, and working for the benefit of the people under the pressure of the entire country on his shoulders. Isn't that enough? This country is being sat down steadily by the emperor, isn't this also planning for the courtiers themselves? ”
"What's more, even if the courtier's daughter has the intention of not being a minister, the father will not let it go. For his father, protecting the family and defending the country and glorifying the lintel, whether in the way of a civil servant or a military general, this is the greatest pursuit of his life. He would not let his courtiers ruin his reputation as a loyal martyr, let alone let his courtiers become sinners of the Fang family. So, what can a courtier do alone? ”
Fang Xiaoyu's words were actually very inflammatory. On the surface, it seems to be a little disrespectful to the emperor, but the emperor is suspicious. If you insist on showing your loyalty, he may not really believe, and if the seeds of doubt are planted, they will surely bear the fruits of tragedy in the future. Then it's better to go straight and talk about it.
I don't talk to you about loyalty, I only talk to you about interests. One day you are on the throne, and I will be able to enjoy the one I have now. As long as you don't live up to me, I will never fail you, you can think of it as an equivalent exchange, and if you cooperate, you will benefit from it and divide it from you. I tie my life to your ship, and I will get more if you are good. In this way, I can be safe and even beautiful and worry-free for a lifetime, so why bother to fight for the unknown?
Perhaps Fang Xiaoyu's straightforwardness really hit the emperor's mind, and the emperor actually hooked the corner of his mouth and said: "You are really bold." No one has ever dared to say anything like this to me. If someone else says it, it will definitely be beaten, but since you say so, I really want to believe you. ”
"Aren't you afraid that I will be jealous of Fang Aiqing? The military power in your father's hands is enough to make me worried, so you are not afraid that one day, he will be jealous of me? The emperor suddenly asked, and then looked at Fang Xiaoyu with burning eyes, paying attention to her subtle expression.
"I'm afraid." Fang Xiaoyu frowned slightly, and then said, "Since ancient times, how many generals have a good end?" The courtiers are naturally afraid that my Zhenyuan General's Mansion will fall into the same fate as those military generals who were killed. ”
As he spoke, Fang Xiaoyu suddenly raised his head to meet the emperor's gaze and said, "However, the courtiers have heard such a story. There is an emperor, although his name has not been passed down through the ages, but he once said such a sentence. He said that a good emperor should be able to control the success of any courtier. The so-called high merit is nothing more than the incompetence of an emperor. If the emperor is good enough and domineering enough, even the most accomplished courtiers will not want to cover up the emperor's light. The better the courtiers, the stronger the emperor, and the stronger the emperor, the stronger the country. Even if he is a courtier who is famous in ancient and modern times, he can only be a sword in the hands of the emperor, a spear that charges into battle, a stone that builds a city wall, and a minister who assists the emperor, not a soul who is unjustly killed on trumped-up charges such as being crowned with high merit. ”
The corners of Fang Xiaoyu's eyebrows curled, and when he laughed, he said with a heroic spirit: "The courtiers believe that the emperor who can say such a thing will not do anything to destroy the city wall." The courtiers also believed that such an emperor who could tolerate all things could create a truly prosperous world. ”
The emperor was a little confused for a while, and this feeling of blood boiling that he hadn't felt for a long time turned out to be a little intoxicated.
He'd heard it. No, more than I have heard of it. It was a bold statement he uttered when he was young. Because of such a passage, he won the blue eyes of his father, and climbed all the way to this noble dragon chair.
Until now, he has not forgotten these words. Until now, he still stubbornly thinks so in his heart.
Therefore, he didn't care about Mei Cangyun's formation of a party in the DPRK and China. He believed that he could control his courtiers for his own use.
However, when he really set out to check Yiqiē, he was still shocked by Mei Cangyun's connections. Not only are there party members in the court, but also those generals who hold great power have also been placed by him with so many chess pieces.
For a moment, he had a brief doubt about what he had said.
However, today he heard what he had said from a woman again, and he suddenly felt that his heart was burning hot.
A woman can be so domineering, as an emperor and as the helmsman of the great inheritance, why should he doubt himself who was once the most high-spirited?
He's the emperor! He is the only emperor of Dacheng! No one can stop him from creating a prosperous world! Mei Cangyun can't do it, not even the sky! (To be continued.) )
