Chapter Eighty-Six: Intentional, Imperial Technique
When proposing to Wang Fuzi that he marry a wife and have children, An Mingyu really acted in his true colors. She did not pretend to be an ignorant child for fear of being known in her past life, or the concerns of the prophesied baby girl, and the meaning of her words did not even hide the fact that she knew Lin Xiang.
As for why she knew Lin Xiang, the ancestor of Wang Fuzi who was many generations older than him, how strange and incredible this thing was, and where Wang Fuzi and Li Changshou would associate it, she didn't care. On the contrary, it was exactly what she wanted.
Prophecy is a double-edged sword.
It can be a bad thing, it will attract the attention of her enemies, do something bad to her, and endanger her life. Just as not long after she was born, she was forced to stay away from her family in this life and hide in this inconspicuous mountain village.
But in the same way, it can also be a good thing, for those who want revenge, for those who were and are still loyal to the imperial family of the Tianyu Dynasty, it is a kind of hope, and it is also one of the bases that can allow her to accept talents in the fastest and most secure way, ascend to the throne in the most justified name, and unify the world.
In fact, there is no such thing as good or bad in this world. When handled properly, bad things can be turned into good things; If not handled properly, good things can turn bad.
For her, everything she does has her own measure. Who can know that she is the reborn Tai'an princess, and who cannot know that she has her own judgment.
Of course, she will not be stinging and directly explain her rebirth and her identity to others, but only in this way, sometimes her behavior does not match her age, which makes people doubt and then associate, and sometimes her behavior is consistent with her age, which makes people deny self-speculation. Plausible, confusing, and unable to accurately judge is the effect she wants to achieve.
As a person who has been trained to become an emperor, it is instinct to be unpredictable, and it is ability to guess that it is unfathomable. How to make her followers crazy and loyal to her is something she has learned and mastered as instinct since she was sensible in her previous life, and it is also one of the things she is best at.
Therefore, when she faced Wang Fuzi and Li Changshou here, she did not restrain her words and deeds too much. It can be said that all this was more or less deliberate after she had met Wang Fuzi and Li Changshou and judged their personality preferences.
One of the reasons why An Mingyu will be feared and feared by those who know her well, and will be recognized by the courtiers as if she succeeds to the throne, will be the first emperor of the ages is that she is particularly able to understand people's hearts.
But anyone who has appeared in front of her, whether it is good or bad, what is the preference, what are the advantages and disadvantages, and how it can be used by her, she can judge it in the fastest time, and it is extremely accurate.
Use people, use the right people, even if it is a traitor, you can be used by An Mingyu in the right place, this is her extremely terrifying point, amazing and intimidating.
During the period when An Mingyu controlled the Tianyu Dynasty, there was a sensation that shocked the courtiers. That is the important minister of the court who was reused by His Royal Highness the Empress for six years, and the Lord Si Yu, one of the three dukes, was suddenly imprisoned and ordered by His Royal Highness to raid his family and exterminate the clan.
At that time, the lord was accused of mistaking money, and all the money he stole was confiscated into the national treasury. And the treasury, which had been squandered by Emperor Qianqi and Empress Shangwu, was instantly filled with wealth. It is conceivable how much money this Lord Si Yu, who has become a huge greed, is greedy for.
When this Si Yu was appointed, An Mingyu was only nine years old. It can be said that this adult was pulled up by her.
Si Yu's position as the first person to supervise the officials of the imperial court, it stands to reason that it should be given to a person who is upright and dares to speak out, and this Si Yu's ability is no problem, extremely outstanding, but his personality is exquisite, and no one wants to offend.
No one could understand why An Mingyu would appoint him as Lord Si Yu. There were once people who thought that His Royal Highness was young and used people inappropriately, but she just wanted to reuse Lord Si Yu, who was born in a poor family.
It wasn't until six years later that the people understood why.
This Si Yu is a great filial son, there is a very vain and wealthy old lady in the back house, and that old lady is very fortunate to have entered the palace to participate in the palace banquet, and has been seen by Her Royal Highness.
The extremely greedy mother is the inducement, and the eight-sided delicate personality makes no one offended, making people think that he is very good at interceding, and constantly bribing in order to cover up his mistakes. Then, for another six years, he was bewildered by the deliberate connivance of Her Royal Highness the princess, thinking that the princess relied too much on him, and his heart swelled. Then, Lord Si Yu started from being greedy once, and he was out of control, and the number of greed became bigger and bigger, and he became more and more greedy.
It wasn't until he had collected enough money that An Mingyu issued an order to exterminate his family, just to enrich the treasury and at the same time, to deter the ministers of the court.
Because before Lord Si Yu died, I don't know if he repented, or if he couldn't bear it by torture, or maybe he wanted to pull a group of people down with him before he died, in short, he gave a clear account of all the people who had bribed him and what they had committed.
Since then, everyone has been in danger, fearing that they will be the next Si Yu.
However, Her Royal Highness has not moved, just handling the government normally, which makes those who have ghosts in their hearts feel that she is unfathomable, and she always feels that she has a knife hanging over her head, and she is more diligent and serious than the other.
An Mingyu knows that when the water is clear, there is no fish, and when people are observed, there is no fugitive, she is not ready to move anyone in the court, but holds the handle of the ministers, scares them when they don't need it, makes them nervous, and then uses it to settle accounts after the autumn when they need it, and remove the tumor.
So, when she was fifteen years old and in the year of her ceremony, her deterrent power in the court can be said to have reached its peak.
She knew a little bit about Master Wang's personality and how he behaved before, but she heard everything from Li Haoyue. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have made up her mind easily.
After personally contacting Wang Fuzi today, after some discussion and observation, An Mingyu can conclude that Li Haoyue is not wrong, this is indeed a talented and upright person, and from his words and deeds, there is a vague revelation of loyalty to the Huangfu family of the Tianyu Dynasty. In addition, after he was an old man, he wanted to take care of it more or less, and he couldn't bear to let Aiqing, who was valued back then, die, so An Mingyu was suggesting very seriously.
As for Li Changshou, he has a common enemy with her, and his personality is not bad, which is enough.
After saying that, An Mingyu left Li Changshou, who was laughing, and Wang Fuzi, who was almost jumping with a red face, and Li Haoyue left without taking a cloud with him, not caring at all what the consequences were for him.
