Chapter 234 The World Storm from the Emperor (II)
In the final analysis, the emperor still wants to take over the power of the family.
If the emperor directly takes over the power and the family opposes it, it will naturally be difficult to ascend to the sky.
However, to provoke a civil and military dispute, so that the two sides are incompatible, they must rely on the imperial power to protect their own interests, and it will be much more convenient for the emperor to use the cold forces to balance the two sides.
"Your Majesty, what a trick! This gentleman really underestimated you as a student. Seventeen gates, fourteen gates ...... Your Majesty really thinks that the family has too many forces?"
Thinking of the emperor's gentle and courteous appearance on weekdays, Xu Minglang shuddered.
But even if he knew this, he didn't have a choice, because ...... The trend has come!
It is impossible for civil and military forces to make peace, and Jiangmen will not let him go.
If he wants to save himself, he must act according to the emperor's will. Once he lost the position of prime minister, he didn't dare to think about how he would be trampled on the door.
He knew in his heart that the emperor was using him as a knife.
So what?
The only thing he can do is to make a knife that is sharper than all the knives in the world, so that he will still be above 10,000 people under one person.
Not to the point of life and death, his knife will not stab the emperor.
He believed that the eagle dog of the Zhao family would not bite the emperor like this.
Now it's time for him, to the scholar's family, to the family, and to the emperor?
No.
"In the future, the court will be a scholar, a noble, and a poor official, and the three-legged stand. Xu Minglang thought so.
The Hanmen rose, but the family failed to join forces to suppress the Hanmen, and now Xu Minglang, whose own power position is not stable, can only sit back and watch the Hanmen become stronger day after day.
In the case that the net cannot be broken and the talent is lacking, accepting the three-legged stand makes Xu Minglang, the head of the family, extremely uncomfortable, but there is no way to do it.
"No matter how many clans disappear, the Xu family must prosper forever!" This was Xu Minglang's determination when he left Miyagi.
......
After sending Xu Minglang away, Zhao Yujie returned to the main hall and sat down again in the position just now, and did not immediately call the palace maids to come in and pack up the tea set.
She was thinking about something.
I don't know how long it took, a strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Is it true that the Magistrate's House is only used to deal with Jiangmen?
In her opinion, of course not.
The emperor has been laying out for so many years, and it is not easy to make the civil and military incompatible, forming a situation where the two sides are desperately biting each other and fighting to the death, is it just for the sake of civil and military checks and balances and power balance?
Xu Minglang didn't have the support of the emperor, there was no need to get along with the generals, and the emperor had no other plans, so why should he risk the instability of the government and pick up the civil and military battles to this situation?
The door, the door, and the cold door stand on three legs?
If what the emperor asked for was only such a situation, there was no need to set up a magistrate's house.
Even before the advent of the Magistrate's House, the Emperor was close to reaching this situation.
This brand-new yamen is definitely not simple.
Zhao Yujie keenly smelled the smell of bloody wind and rain.
She loves the taste.
The more the smell of blood, the more people will die, the more space will be vacated, and the more opportunities there will be in the world. Only when the turbulent current emerges and she is alone can she rise against the trend.
With this opportunity in front of her, there was no reason why she didn't try her best to seize it.
The person who was being used as a knife by the emperor was resentful, but he didn't know that the identity of the emperor's knife was the identity that many people dreamed of, and they didn't hesitate to fight for it.
Xu Minglang is a knife, and the magistrate is a knife.
Zhao Yujie can't be called a knife at the moment, she hasn't reached that position yet, and she doesn't have that weight.
The world's ups and downs are all from the emperor.
With the help of the emperor, you can ride the wind.
But if she wants to become the first person in the world to become powerful, and to reach the realm of "the world is out of my generation" one day, she must first become a knife in the hands of this person.
Knives are also different from knives.
Some knives are destined to be discarded after use, while others are worn by their owners at all times.
She's going to do the latter.
How can the latter be done?
To seize the opportunity and seize the greatest opportunity, we must understand the root of the general trend.
What is this fundamentally?
Zhao Yujie already had the answer in her heart.
This made the weird smile on the corner of her mouth a little more bloody.
The identity of the prime minister's righteous daughter allowed her to successfully enter the palace, but she already understood at this moment that if she wanted to go further, in the end, she must abandon this identity and live with another face.
She is already familiar with this kind of thing.
Along the way, she has abandoned many identities, such as a country girl, a righteous daughter of the Zhao family, a spy of the Northern Hu, and a favorite concubine of the prime minister...... Now she wants to abandon the identity of the prime minister's daughter, she doesn't have any psychological burden.
Even if every time she abandons an identity, it means betraying the previous identity and the people around that identity, she does not hesitate.
She is just a small grass, fragile and insignificant, it is already difficult to survive, how can she have moral restraints?
If she still wants to grow into a towering tree, she must turn herself into a vine, climb the oak tree to the top, and eventually turn the oak tree into herself.
When Zhao Yujie made up her mind, the emperor came.
She cleaned up her mood, changed her smiling face, and Yingying went out.
There won't be many opportunities, maybe after today, the emperor won't come again. If the situation on the outside world changes, the emperor may never even come back.
If that happens, one day, she will die at the hands of the queen.
After serving the emperor and sitting down, the two chatted not far away, and the emperor took out his book and planned to read.
In the past, every time at this time, the exchange between the two would end, and the emperor would leave Zizhu Palace after reading the book for a while.
Zhao Yujie knew very well that the emperor came to her just for show.
In the past, she couldn't do anything about this situation, but today, everything is different.
"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister has just arrived. Zhao Yujie took the initiative.
The Emperor let out a faint sigh.
The prime minister said he was skeptical right now. Zhao Yujie continued.
The emperor looked at Zhao Yujie, his face was calm, his eyes were as usual, and he didn't ask a word.
But put down the book.
Zhao Yujie relayed her conversation with the prime minister to the emperor word for word.
During this process, the emperor just listened quietly and did not say any opinions or comments, but he did not interrupt Zhao Yujie either.
It wasn't until Zhao Yujie finished speaking that the emperor said nonchalantly: "You are Bing Xue smart, and you can actually see the secrets behind major national affairs." ”
"When the concubine was in the prime minister's mansion, she often helped the prime minister sort out the documents, read a lot of various official documents, and often talked about political affairs with the prime minister, and the prime minister did not shy away from anything in front of the concubine. Zhao Yujie explained.
"I see. You are the daughter of the prime minister, so it's not surprising to have this treatment. ”
After saying this sentence without waves, the emperor picked up the book again, and his eyes were about to be on the book again.
Zhao Yujie bit her lip: "The concubine is bold, dare to ask Your Majesty to let the concubine return to her original surname." ”
The emperor looked at Zhao Yujie again, "Why?"
Zhao Yujie did not avoid the emperor's gaze, and said firmly: "The concubines are originally rural people, and they have no intention of clinging to the family, and it is fate to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"Since the concubine entered the palace, he only wants to serve His Majesty well, if the concubine has an identity in this world, it is only His Majesty's Shuyi. ”
The emperor's eyes finally changed, at first surprised, then playful, and finally turned into a reality.
"Since you understand political affairs, then you can tell me about the current Great Qi court, is it better for the metropolitan governor to say it, or the prime minister has the final say?" the emperor asked.
"Daqi only belongs to Your Majesty, whether it is the affairs of the court or the affairs of the world, it all depends on Your Majesty's words. The governor and the prime minister only need to listen to His Majesty's orders. Zhao Yujie bowed her head and said.
There was a smile on the emperor's face.
His gaze fell back on the book, "What's your real name?"
"Wu. ”
The emperor bowed slightly, "Wu, Wu Mei, not bad." Wu Mei listened to the order. ”
"The concubine obeys the order. ”
"Wu Mei, go to Chongwen Hall tomorrow to serve. Let me see if you can get your paperwork in order. ”
"The concubine receives the order, thank Your Majesty Longen!"
......
From this moment on, Zhao Yujie is no longer the eyeliner placed in the palace by the prime minister, but has become the emperor's double-sided work. The prime minister's every move and thoughts in his heart can no longer be hidden from the emperor.
......
In the military tent, An Siming closed the handbook and breathed a long sigh of relief.
The handwritten letter came from the Emperor and was delivered by the Flying Fish Guard.
The content was simple and straightforward, the emperor first rebuked him for his incompetence, pointed out his mistake of not knowing how to change when he was in battle, and then said that the damaged cultivators would make up for it, let him do a good job, and make meritorious contributions to his crimes, otherwise the two crimes would be punished together.
"Your Majesty, this is for me to disobey in front of the battle!"
An Siming looked at the comment that did not understand the change, and he couldn't say it in his heart.
In a secret report to the emperor, he said that after he captured the Black Stone Valley Pass, he would be able to completely conquer the Black Stone Valley defense line immediately, but he was replaced by Zhao Xuanji and gave the general to the Zhao generals.
In this case, the emperor reprimanded him for not understanding the change, so that he could lie that the soldiers of the two armies had been fighting together and that he could not withdraw, and then continued to attack forcefully and took Fengming Mountain in one go.
In this way, the great work will go to him.
But this is not the case. After he captured the city, he couldn't break through the second layer of defense in the Black Rock Valley at all, and there was no way to retreat. If Zhao Xuanji let him continue to fight, his troops would be in danger of being wiped out.
However, An Siming understood what the emperor meant.
As long as he can take Fengming Mountain, even if he disobeys the order before the battle and has the emperor to endorse him, he doesn't have to worry about anything at all. He didn't do this, and that was what annoyed the emperor the most.
Others don't know, how can An Siming not know that the reason why the emperor ordered the Yanmen Army to go out of the customs and attack the "weak brigade" of Beihu this time was not to let the Zhao family make meritorious service, but to create an opportunity for him to make meritorious service!
Because of the extremely high proportion of cultivators in his lineage, they are not comparable to the Yanmen Army. Therefore, the emperor believed in the combat power of his troops, and believed that as long as his troops went to the battlefield, they could establish extraordinary feats and suppress the generals of the Zhao clan.
If this can be done, An Siming will be able to establish a good prestige in Yanmen Pass with great merit, quickly gain a firm foothold, and carry out the plan of winning over the Hanmen generals in the next step, fight against the Zhao clan, and achieve the goal of dividing the Zhao clan's military power.
But Ellsmin didn't.
It was precisely because he knew that he had disappointed the emperor that An Siming gritted his teeth and lied about the military situation.
And now, knowing that he had won the bet, the emperor chose to believe him.
If there is a war in the future, he doesn't have to be too jealous of Zhao Xuanji's military orders.
However, An Siming also knew that in a short period of time, the Yanmen Army was afraid that there would be no chance to get out of the customs again. Even if the emperor wanted to support him, he couldn't blatantly let his troops send troops to sweep the grassland, and not let the Zhao generals move.
"It's going to be dormant for a while. ”
An Siming burned the handwritten spot, sighed, and looked gloomy, "I don't know when the next chance for war will come again......
