Chapter 1042: The Eldest Princess's Choice
"Lord Shen, I can tell you the clues I know, but what good will it do if I do this? And I can hear it from your words, and I can not say it, so that although I have no benefit, at least there is no harm. Xia Yuwei quietly listened to Shen Yan's remarks, and smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth, revealing a good-looking smile, as if a delicate flower was blooming, making people have a pleasing feeling, intoxicating, and making people feel excited.
"There is no deviation in the eldest princess's understanding." A faint smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, and he said softly, as if after saying his words, it didn't matter whether Xia Yuwei wanted to tell her the clues she had mastered, and even seemed to have forgotten the purpose of asking Xia Yuwei to meet outside the palace.
"The military and political power of a county?" Li Chengming did not reply to Ye Zhiqiu immediately, but muttered softly to himself, and then asked as if changing the topic, "I want to hear how Aiqing dealt with the defeated generals Li Daoqun and Wei Guoliang?" ”
Li Chengming didn't want to deal with Li Daoqun at all, and lifting Li Daoqun out was just a support, and by the way, I also heard what Ye Zhiqiu thought, after all, Li Daoqun had just become Ye Zhiqiu's father-in-law.
"No matter how the emperor disposes of it, Wechen has no objections, Wechen just wants to expel foreign enemies, return my empire to a clean place, and return the people to a comfortable life, and to achieve this goal still need some external conditions, and even some excesses, but Wechen is not afraid, because Wechen feels that he has a clear conscience." Ye Zhiqiu said Lang Lang, as if taking an oath.
In fact, Ye Zhiqiu knew that Li Chengming didn't want to give himself too much power, if it wasn't for his own use value, how could Li Chengming want to marry himself and marry the imperial county lord to himself, he had not yet reached such a narcissistic level, and Li Chengming's political skills were gradually mature, no longer at a loss when he just inherited the throne, he had mastered many political elements, and he was already able to play with political art.
"I have escorted Wei Guoliang back to Beijing for trial, and I originally planned to severely punish Wei Guoliang in accordance with the imperial military laws, but the prime minister Liu Xiaoran, the queen mother, and the emperor's younger brother Prince Yong jointly advised me not to deal with Wei Guoliang, and even let Wei Guoliang succeed him as the commander of the army." Li Chengming said this, sighed deeply, as if he wanted to vent the pent-up depression in his heart, "I am telling you this, I just hope that Aiqing can understand my situation." ”
"Wechen understands."
Ye Zhiqiu responded indifferently, knowing very well in his heart the sorrow of being an emperor, either being oppressed by family forces or persecuted by his courtiers, this is the sorrow of the emperor, Li Chengming, as the king of a country, cannot escape this fate.
"I can grant Aiqing's request."
Although Li Chengming and Ye Zhiqiu diverged from the topic, they still thought about the problems existing in Ganning County in their minds, in fact, Ganning County was like a piece of chicken ribs, tasteless to eat, and it was a pity to abandon it, so after pondering for a while, he agreed to Ye Zhiqiu's proposed military and political power.
Li Chengming knows that Ganning County is still in the hands of the enemy, even if Ye Zhiqiu can recover it, but it will not be able to do it in the short term, and Ganning County, which has experienced the attack of war, has already been ruined, whether it is financial, military, economic and government affairs, it has become a mess, and even completely collapsed, although he does not dare to say that it will become a bandit-ridden Ganning County, but it is not much better, even so, why not generously hand over the military and political power of Ganning County to Ye Zhiqiu.
Handing over a mess to Ye Zhiqiu can not only win over Ye Zhiqiu and not let the empire have a negative impact among the local people, but also involve Ye Zhiqiu's power and become Ye Zhiqiu's burden, thereby restricting Ye Zhiqiu's development, which can be described as a strategy to kill a few birds with one stone.
I didn't expect Ye Zhiqiu to be so cute, so cute that he would be confused.
But in fact, is it really as Li Chengming thinks? Ganning County will become a burden for Ye Zhiqiu, rather than a new step for Ye Zhiqiu's starting point?
Sometimes, we must not only look at the present, but also take a long-term view.
Li Chengming seems to have overlooked one point: If Ye Zhiqiu combs this mess in an orderly manner, and even becomes Ye Zhiqiu's biggest helper, who is the spokesman of Ganning County, Ye Zhiqiu or Li Chengming?
"On the day Aiqing sent out the army, I will issue a holy decree to temporarily entrust Aiqing to take care of the financial power of Ganning County, and I can also agree to Aiqing's request for military control of Ganning County, but I also have a request, I hope Aiqing will not go too far."
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, Weichen knows how to handle the heat." When Ye Zhiqiu heard the answer he wanted, he hurriedly responded respectfully.
"Since Aiqing knows it in her heart, then I won't ask about it anymore." Li Chengming nodded and said indifferently.
"Your Majesty, it's not too early, is Weichen going back to Zhongping Town?" Ye Zhiqiu reached the answer he wanted, and felt that it would be useless to stay in Chongdemen any longer, so he proposed to return to Zhongping Town.
"Well, according to Aiqing's proposal, let's go back to Zhongping Town first." While Li Chengming was happy in his heart, he seemed to feel that something was missing in his heart, but he couldn't say what it was.
Ye Zhiqiu then took his newlywed wife and other people to the direction of Zhongping Town, Li Chengming gave Ye Zhiqiu a lot of jewelry, money and silk, which can be regarded as a disguised compensation for Ye Zhiqiu, after all, Li Chengming wanted to divide power from Ye Zhiqiu several times.
Of course, Ye Zhiqiu once again expressed his deep gratitude for Li Chengming's generosity, and knew very well the intention behind Li Chengming's move, but he had to accept Li Chengming's arrangement, even if he knew that Li Yuyan was a chess piece that Li Chengming placed beside him and monitored everything about himself, but what did it matter, he couldn't provide some false information to Li Chengming through Li Yuyan's mouth.
Thinking about this, Ye Zhiqiu calmly accepted Li Chengming's arrangement in his heart, even if he had hidden unspeakable ambitions in his heart for the time being, he did not have any unfavorable thoughts about the empire in front of him, and he still needed the soil of the empire to give him more space for development.
In other words, he doesn't have any secrets that Li Chengming can't know, at most they are some secrets of military deployment operations, but unless these military secrets are intentionally leaked, outsiders can't know them at all, because military deployments are highly confidential to the Ye family's army, and without their own permission or instruction, the generals under their command can't know the operational intentions and plans of their deployments, let alone others.
The importance of maintaining secrecy and top secrecy is Ye Zhiqiu's consistent principle, and this is also the basic quality that a senior politician and military commander should have. ()
