Chapter 62 An Yun Quanchen
Xian Guzhong listened to Lan Qi's words, and he was also a little anxious in his heart, if it was just a foreign enemy, relying on the current strength of the Iron and Blood Army, it would not be difficult to resist. But if something happened to the entire Heluo City, then his life would be directly threatened, and how could he not be in a hurry.
"What Mr. Lan Qi said is that external enemies are not to be feared, but internal troubles are the great dangers. I wonder if Mr. Lan Qi has any good ideas? Xian Guzhong hurriedly asked.
"The use of power is only about balance. When the balance is lost, power becomes a flood of waves. The Cabinet was established by forcibly carrying out reforms, but there are still great hidden dangers in this. Last year, our iron-blooded army captured Xu Huai, and the prestige of Lord Xian was extremely high, so they naturally did not dare to speak out against it. But now it's different, we have lost in the use of foreign troops, and the prestige of the Xian people has also been damaged, and if we don't take two steps back, I'm afraid there will really be problems. Therefore, this time, Lord Xian needs to share power with the powerful people in the DPRK and China in order to appease them. Lan Qi said.
"Is there no other way? They don't have much power now, and they have to make trouble like this, in case they are really in power, do I still have the right to speak? Ken Guzhong said unwillingly.
It was not easy for him to achieve a monopoly on power, and this feeling of saying nothing made him very intoxicated. How could he be willing to give away the power he had, let alone to the powerful who were already dissatisfied with him.
"That's not how the accounts are calculated, as long as Lord Xian maintains his current status, the entire Anyun will be decided by you, my lord. Giving out some power is just a matter of depositing things that belong to adults with others for a few days. If you lose your current status, everything will be empty. Taking a step back now is the best option. Lan Qi said.
Kentanaka was still very hesitant and didn't answer for a long time. He really couldn't trust anyone else, especially those who contradicted him, and although his ambition was great, he lacked his father's magnanimity.
"I know what Lord Ken is worried about, isn't it just that after those powerful people gain power, they will threaten the status of adults? In fact, Xian doesn't have to worry too much, as long as he grasps the word balance, all power is still an adult's. What's more, many people support adults, as long as adults make good use of these loyal people, those powerful people are not to be feared. Lan Qi continued.
In this way, there is only one way to go. But faithful people are rare, and I don't have much to use. Mr. Lan Qi has always given me advice, and Mr. Lan Qi has made great contributions to Anyun's ability to return to his current appearance. This time, I am going to appoint Mr. Lan Qi as the first assistant of my cabinet, and I ask Mr. Lan Qi not to refuse. Xian Guzhong thought about it and felt that there were not many people who were really loyal to him, so he wanted to make Lan Qi an official to help him balance the power disputes between the DPRK and China.
"I'm the one who advises on behalf of Ken-sama, and I can't accept Ken-sama's appointment in order to avoid suspicion. However, An Yun is in an eventful time, and I am also blessed by Lord Xian's knowledge, and this time Lan Qi accepted the appointment, just to calm the government for Lord Xian and protect Lord Xian from those petty injuries. Lan Qi said.
"I know what Mr. Lan Qi is worried about, isn't it just that he is afraid that others will say that you are not? This time, Mr. rest assured, I can tell who is a loyal minister and who is a traitor, and I will definitely support Mr. to the end. The two of us are both prosperous and lossy, so we should be in the same boat until the end. Xian Guzhong grabbed Lan Qi's hand and said very solemnly.
After hearing this, Lan Qi got up and bowed to Xian Gu Zhong, showing his loyalty.
After all the work, Xian Guzhong sent someone to send Lan Qi back to the mansion where he used to live. Lan Qi got into the carriage and thought about what to do next.
"Everything is as expected, and when I return to Heluo City this time, I will definitely be able to show my strength. However, there are still some accidents, and if they are not dealt with properly, there will be big problems. I know that Wei Zeng will not be confined to Yishan, but it is really surprising that he can get the Zhantu people to join him in just over a year. We must send people to the north to probe Wei Zeng's tone, and everything must be well known. Lan Qi pondered.
In the days that followed, Heongu-jung announced the reform of the cabinet system, was willing to hand over all political power to the cabinet, and invited the powerful people of the DPRK and China to participate in the formation of the cabinet. It's just that Ken Guzhong deliberately proposed that it doesn't matter if the cabinet is reorganized, but Lan Qi must become the first assistant of the cabinet.
Originally, the powerful people in the DPRK were very dissatisfied with the abolition of Jaesuke in the Dogak, and believed that the implementation of the cabinet in the Constitution was just to monopolize power. Now that Ken Gu Zhong is willing to share the power with them, they naturally have no opinion, and they have expressed their support for this decision in Ken Valley.
Xian Guzhong made concessions, and the elites in the court were not easy to press forward step by step, so they acquiesced to Lan Qi's matter of being the first assistant of the cabinet.
Repelled the attack of the Iron Army, Xiangfan City was once again in his own hands, and Fan Yuyi could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
When the news of Wei Zeng's uprising in the north came, Fan Yuyi's mood was even more excited. He always felt that Wei Zeng had disappeared for eight years, and he appeared at this time just to support himself.
Fan Yuyi stood on the wall of Xiangfan City, looking at the waves and going to the river, and his heart could not be calm. The cold north wind blew on his body, a little cold, so that he couldn't help but tighten his clothes.
"Eight years ago, there was an opportunity for everyone to put aside their disputes and sit down for peace talks. But with Wei Zeng's defeat, everything became a dream. Since then, everyone has advised me to give up that unrealistic dream, and let me make all kinds of preparations for world domination, just like everyone else.
"It's just that I think, I can't control other people, can't I control myself? I can't let the rest of the world settle down, can't I still build Jiangnan into a happy land? No one understood me, but I had to keep doing it.
"I met a woman who was also a bit of an idiot, she could travel through thousands of mountains and rivers for something that didn't exist. I wanted to keep her, but she left me. But when Jiangnan was worried about internal and external troubles, and I needed the support of others the most, I received her letter again. I understand that the end of the world is far away, but for those who have a heart, it is only a stone's throw away. I've never been alone.
And Wei Zeng appeared at this time again, and sure enough, the end of the world was just a stone's throw away. Although we are not on the same path, we are pursuing the same thing, and I knew that we would meet again one day. Fan Jiyi said alone.
Gu Xiangli listened quietly by Fan Zhiyi's side, some of what Fan Jiuyi said, he knew, and some he didn't know. But whether he knew it or not, he would listen quietly, and he would not pass on half a sentence of what Fan Yuyi had said.
When Fan Zhiyi fell silent again, Gu Xiangli spoke
"The Predators have been defeated, and we are no longer in danger. Shall we pursue it? ”
"War is not something I hope for, but for the sake of the final peace, I have no choice but to fight. Send someone to Mobei and convey my meaning to Wei Zeng. I think it would be easier to have a reliable ally to force Kengu to choose peace. Fan replied. (To be continued.) )
