Chapter Seventy-Three
But what shocked Duan Foyin the most was the kind of look in the eyes of the people who could be seen at random on the road.
Duan Foyin could understand that this was a look of pride and confidence.
Every cloth-clothed commoner can look at the mounts of the Duan sisters indifferently, although the people at the feet of the Son of Heaven have seen a wide range of the world, but that kind of pride and self-confidence is rare.
In Duan Foyin's feelings, this kind of bearing and brilliance can only be found in the eyes of the dignitaries and nobles of Dali Kingdom.
This made Duan Foyin very shocked, and Duan Foyin suspected that this was just a small group of people he happened to bump into.
So, she took Duan Susu around half of Jinling Mansion, and in the end, she finally believed it, because almost all the people of the Ming Kingdom she saw were like this.
Duan Foyin now believes that once the Ming army sends troops, Dali will burn all the jade.
No one can resist this self-confidence.
A self-confident state is terrible, and a confident populace is even more terrible.
Because they have a belief in their hearts that they are invincible.
Spiritual power is far better than material power, and this point is too clear to Duan Foyin, who is deeply involved in Buddhism.
Duan Foyin wondered in his heart how Baili Wuji made his people so confident that he was so confident.
Therefore, on the way to be summoned by Baili Wuji, Duan Foyin thought about the negotiation and must ask him.
In fact, Duan Foyin thought too much, and Baili Wuji decided to summon her again, which means that as long as Dali can accept the conditions of the Ming court, then Baili Wuji will naturally accept Dali's invitation to surrender, and also accept Dali's proposal and relatives.
Baili Wuji still arranged to meet Duan Foyin in the imperial study.
After the last farce. At the same time, under the persuasion of Gao Rongrong, Baili Wuji has tacitly agreed to accept Duan Foyin's entry into the palace, of course, the premise is that Dali must agree to be appointed by the Ming court to appoint officials from all over the country.
It's a compromise.
Compromise of the government.
Xu Shiming is reasonable. Punishment without teaching is tyranny.
After all, when the former ministers of the Zhou and other countries were attached to the Ming Kingdom, Baili Wuji personally issued an order to appease them, and promised to take the original position as an official.
Now that he has been beaten to death with a stick, he is indeed in a hurry.
Because of this, Baili Wuji really softened.
He decided to give his former ministers some time to convert.
In other words, accept Xu Shiming's compromise strategy, and the reform is still ongoing. The great anger of the people among the old ministers was eliminated, and then at least half of the old ministers were sent to Dali, and the last part of the old ministers who did not account for a small proportion was selected. It is a part that can be transformed, and it remains in the original job to observe the after-effects.
Finally, after three years and five years, after the replacement of the old and the new in the country is now completed. Then concentrate on the rectification of Dali.
And so it goes. I think there will be much less resistance, at least, Xu Shiming will spare no effort to support himself.
Baili Wuji knows that Xu Shiming is too involved in it, not only Xu Shiming, but even Zhou Xian's father, Zhou Zong, is the target of reform.
If reform is really forced, it may hurt more than just a few. It's the whole person, and the one who is most involved in this is his own people.
Those old ministers are all official oils. After annexing the Ming Kingdom, they will find one or more umbrellas.
And those who can be their umbrella are naturally those who are close to Baili Wuji.
This is the most normal thing to do.
And the first to bear the brunt is Prime Minister Xu Shiming, because he is not only the prime minister of the Ming Kingdom, but also the confidant who accompanies him all the way, and more importantly, he has a righteous son of the Ming State Military Intelligence Academy.
Thinking of this, Baili Wuji hesitated.
The purpose of implementing reform is to benefit the majority of the people, but at present, the reform is directly confronted with the interests of one's own people.
Baili Wuji carefully thought about Xu Shiming's plan, and felt that it was more feasible, after all, he was only middle-aged, and he had time to implement the reform in Dali in the future.
Therefore, Baili Wuji's summoning this time was only to confirm whether Duan Foyin could accept his own conditions, and also to confirm whether Duan Foyin could really have the power to decide the treaty on behalf of Duan Sicong.
Nine times out of ten, the emperor's marriage represents the exchange of political interests, even if the founding emperor like himself still can't escape the scope of political marriage, which has to be said to be a pity.
This is what Baili Wuji said in his heart before he saw Duan Foyin.
But there is one thing, after experiencing the last farce, Baili Wuji's impression of Duan Foyin has indeed changed greatly.
A woman who can reveal her true temperament will not be a treacherous woman.
Based on this alone, Baili Wuji can accept her as a concubine in exchange for political interests.
What's more, Duan Foyin is indeed a beauty. This is also what Baili Wuji has to admit.
The two met for the third time, and the situation was a little awkward.
Of course, it wasn't Baili Wuji who was embarrassed, Baili Wuji had already passed that age, and he calmly looked at this woman who was very likely to become his third imperial concubine, and his face was very calm.
The embarrassing Duan Foyin, she always thought that her marriage was an exchange of interests, so she thought that marriage was a change of place and a change of house to live.
But at the moment when he threw himself into Baili Wuji's arms that day, Duan Foyin had an urge to attach himself to the prime minister, and the dizziness at that moment made Duan Foyin's heart beat.
This is a feeling that makes people indulge and can't extricate themselves, the man in front of him has a chest and shoulders that are enough for Duan Foyin to rely on, but this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that at the moment when he turned around to support him, Duan Foyin saw a trace of love and pity in his eyes.
This is a deep and strange emotion, and Duan Foyin's heart ripples.
The girl's feelings, there are already two queens and two concubines, and Baili Wuji still doesn't understand.
He was just strange, Duan Foyin was a little weird today, and even Duan Susu beside Duan Foyin couldn't help but get nervous, she was afraid that Duan Foyin would repeat the farce of the last time.
Duan Susu kept looking at Duan Foyin, her hands couldn't help but tremble, she knew that even if Princess Foyin gave her the right to stop the movement when she came, if it was really at that time, Duan Susu would not be able to stop her no matter what.
Baili Wuji and Duan Susu didn't understand why Duan Foyin looked different.
The girl Huaichun, Duan Foyin grew up in the palace since she was a child, except for her father Duan Sicong, she is a few young brothers, and occasionally you can see a few ministers in the court, but those are not old men with white hair and white beards.
Sensei said that it was close, and I'm afraid I don't have much time to talk to men head-on.
And the last time in Baili Wuji's arms, it was almost a skin-to-skin blind date, which made Duan Foyin shy and embarrassed, but there were some expectations.
At this time, she undoubtedly has no self-control.
Her mind was completely swayed by her fantasies, looking at the man in front of her who had all the power in the world, at this moment, Duan Foyin really forgot the identity of the other party. (To be continued......)
