Volume 16 Han and Tang Dynasty Chapter 1353 Loyalty and Betrayal
"Father, may I come in?" came the voice of the maid outside the study. After Hu Wei established the country, Yaya became the eldest princess, and her title for Hu Wei also changed from father to father.
"It's Yaya, come in. Hu Wei heard Yaya's voice and stopped what he was doing. After becoming this emperor, he can't leave most of the things to Momiji to deal with like before, and he has to do it himself.
"Your Majesty, I'll go down first. Xuanri, who was by Hu Wei's side to help sort out the text, knew that Yaya must have something to say to Hu Wei, and it was not so convenient for him to be here.
"Okay, Xuanri, there's nothing to do today, you can go back and rest. Hu Wei nodded to Xuanri, Xuanri has indeed helped him a lot in the past few months. If it weren't for Xuanri's foundation in handling state affairs, he didn't know how much time he would have to spend to sort out this mess of play.
After returning from Sebai, Yaya has lost a lot of weight, which is very obvious compared to Xiaobai next to her. Xiaobai didn't change anything about Hu Wei because he became the emperor, and followed Yaya into the study and looked for a place to crawl by himself. Because Yaya used to come here often, it was quite familiar with this place, and soon found a comfortable position for itself.
"The daughter has seen her father. Yaya saluted Hu Wei first, and then came to Hu Wei's side under Hu Wei's beckoning.
"Yaya, come, sit. Hu Wei patted the chair next to him and smiled at Yaya.
"Hmm. The girl thanked her, sat down in the chair, and turned her big eyes to Hu Wei's body. After Hu Wei became the emperor. It was not as convenient for her to see Hu Wei as before. The father and daughter seem to have a few rusty feelings.
"Yaya, do you have something to do with me?" Hu Wei actually didn't like this feeling now, but he was now the emperor, and many times there were many things, and he didn't do what he wanted. According to Ouyang Hanbing, there are many rules for being an emperor, if you want others to treat you as an emperor, you have to take yourself as an emperor first.
"Yes, I have something I want to talk to my father about. Please also ask my father for his permission. β
Hu Wei smiled bitterly: "Yaya." Let's not do this, can we? It's just the two of us, casually, just like before, father and daughter chatting. β
You can also put up a shelf for others. In front of Yaya, Hu Wei felt that this identity of the emperor was really redundant. Whether it is good to be an emperor or not, of course it is good, but the identity of the emperor is often a ruthless representative. The emperor does not seem to be an ordinary person, but a god-like being, and everyone can worship it with awe.
Yaya smiled: "That's good, to be honest, I don't like this way of speaking very much." β
Hu Wei clapped his hands and smiled: "That's right." In the future, when it's just the two of us, there won't be so many rules. A qiΔ is just like before. β
"Hmm. Yaya nodded heavily and said, "Then I'm just like before." β
When it comes to understanding Hu Wei, Yaya must be in the top three. She had already seen that Hu Wei actually didn't like those so-called imperial styles. So she was able to put those things down easily in front of Hu Wei.
"That's right, okay, you can tell me what you want to talk about. After Yaya relaxed, Hu Wei also relaxed. This moment was the most relaxed moment he felt in the past few months as emperor.
Yaya snorted. "Actually, I have a lot of them, and I want to talk to you." For example, why don't you suddenly play color?"
"Do you think it's because of Wang Yiwei, or because of you?" Hu Wei was not surprised that Yaya would ask this question. In Yaya's short life experience, Wang Yiwei is the most unhappy person for her. Hu Wei knew very well in his heart that Yaya's feelings for Wang Yiwu were very complicated. I'm afraid even she doesn't know. Whether you love Wang more or hate more about Wang Yiwei. ...,
Yaya was silent for a while, and said, "I think there are two reasons. β
Hu Wei looked Yaya up and down for a while. Seeing that Yaya was inexplicable, she said, "Yaya, I suddenly found that you have become stupid." Is it against the color of the hundred soldiers, that is the consideration of the overall situation of a country, how can it have anything to do with you?"
"Ah, doesn't it have anything to do with me?" the girl exclaimed.
Hu Wei shook his head and said: "Although you are my daughter, although I did consider your feelings in this matter, but when I made the final decision, I did not add personal emotions, and I did not continue to march to Sebai, but I stood in the interests of the empire, and the result after considering a variety of factors has nothing to do with you." β
Yaya was relieved: "So that's the case, then I can rest assured." β
Hu Wei was stunned for a moment and said, "Have you been worried about this before?"
Yaya smiled: "Not only that, in the past few months, your behavior has been very different from before, and I am worried about every decision you make." But now it seems that my worries are completely unfounded, because you know what you are doing. Father, you must be very tired these past few months. β
After listening to Yaya's words, Hu Wei sighed: "You still know me best, you are right, I have been really tired in the past few months." I never knew that being an emperor was so painful. β
Yaya said naughtily: "You know now, but you have to be it." This is a point of no return, and there is no possibility of turning back now. β
Except for Yaya, I'm afraid that no one dares to speak to Hu Wei like this, and even the point of no return has come out, so the courage is too big.
Hu Wei laughed and said: "You are right, this is indeed a point of no return, but I don't plan to turn back like this, I really don't want to leave, I will pass this throne to you and let you suffer for your father." β
Yaya's whole little face became bitter, and she waved her hand again and again: "People don't want it, Daddy, you must not mess around." β
The father and daughter chatted more and more. For a while, it was really back to the way it used to be. Both of them enjoyed this state of affairs, not the previous relationship between emperor and princess.
"Father, to be honest, there are many things you've been doing in the past few months that I can't understand. Yaya hummed on Hu Wei's shoulder.
"Yes, what place don't you understand?" Hu Wei was just teased by the maid, and he couldn't completely relieve himself.
"For example, the right minister, before he joined, it can be said that he did not make an inch, and you promoted him strongly. Isn't this asking for trouble for everyone?" said the girl chatting idly.
Hu Wei knocked on Yaya's head and said, "Stinky girl, don't pretend to be stupid for me, I don't believe you won't be able to see this." β
Yaya covered her head and said aggrievedly: "People just can't see it." What a fool. β
After Hu Wei knocked Yaya, he remembered that Yaya was just a smarter girl. Although she has been very sensible since she was a child, that doesn't mean that she can do things for power and profit without a teacher. Although this kind of thing occurs in every dynasty and generation, it is rarely recorded in the history books, and when Chu Zhu teaches children knowledge, he should only teach these things. So this seems to be a very ordinary thing in Hu Wei's eyes, but Yaya may not necessarily understand it.
Thinking of this, Hu Wei couldn't help but hesitate a little. He was hesitating whether there was any need to tell Yaya about this, after all, now he was the emperor of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and he was no longer penniless like before. There is nothing left for posterity.
As Hu Wei became the emperor, his children became the princes and princesses, and their family became the legendary royal family with the weakest family affection. If Hu Wei taught Yaya these things that were vying for power and profit, wouldn't that teach her to develop in this direction?...,
"Father, what's wrong with you?" the girl couldn't help but ask strangely when she saw that Hu Wei didn't open her mouth for a long time.
"Well, nothing. Yaya, you really want to know what I've been doing for the past few months. Is there really a purpose for doing those things?" said Hu Wei.
Yaya also noticed that Hu Wei's tone had become different, and she also put away her smile and said, "If you can't say it, then don't say it." β
Hu Wei shook his head and said, "It's not that I can't say it, it's just ...... Never mind. I don't think that's going to happen. β
Hu Wei really didn't want to believe that Yaya would be the kind of person who would do anything to fight for power. Such a thing, sue sΓΉ yaya. In fact, it is a double-edged sword, as the so-called heart of harming people is indispensable, and the heart of preventing people is indispensable. Now that their Hu family is also considered a royal family, there are too many things that can be remembered, if the people in the family have no understanding of these things fighting for power and profit, then maybe one day, these things will fall on them.
As for whether they will use it on their brothers and sisters after teaching them, this can only be considered on the bright side. Many things in the world are unclear, and if you guess it, you can't guess it.
"Yaya, come, I'll sue you ......"
"I see. Father, do you think Zhu Daneng and Uncle Hou San will betray you?" After listening to Hu Wei's words, Yaya finally understood what the meaning was behind these arrangements that she couldn't understand. It turned out that Hu Wei did this in order to strengthen the means of control.
"I'll tell you a story about this, and after listening to this story, you should have the answer. Hu Wei smiled, he really didn't want to say this to Yaya, but he was already in this position, and many times many things were no longer his choice.
Recalling the story he had heard a long time ago, Hu Wei said: "A child sued his father who was in business, and he found a man of good faith who returned the money he had borrowed from him without any IOU.
The father sued the child, this person is not necessarily an honest person, the child is not convinced, so he makes a bet with the father, and when the person comes to borrow money again, lend him twice as much money as the first time, and then agree on a date to repay the money, and the person will pay the money back. After some time, the man came to borrow again, this time four times as much as the last time, and the child lent him the money, and on the appointed day, the man returned the money again.
Twice, four, six, on the fifth time, after the man had borrowed ten more than the first, he never showed up again, and the child did not understand why, so he went and asked his father, "Yaya, guess what his father said to him?"
The girl was stunned for a moment, and sat there for a long time without speaking. Hu Wei didn't force him, but sighed and looked up at the bright moon outside the window.
Hu Wei knew that Yaya had already guessed, and if he could, he really didn't want to sue SΓΉyaya. loyalty, that's because the price gained is not enough to betray. When betrayal gains far more than loyalty, then betrayal is inevitable. It's not about one's integrity, because that's human nature.
That's what human nature is. The reason why Hu Wei wants to set up a Zhang Jiangliang is because he doesn't want Hou San and Zhu Daneng to have the opportunity to get the bargaining chips for betrayal, which is actually similar to a high salary and a low salary. The reason why those officials are not greedy is that they have enough income if they are not greedy, and the cost of corruption is far higher than what they gain. The risk is not proportional to the gain.
"Father, I want to go back. "Yaya is a very smart girl. She had already figured out why Hu Wei was reluctant to sue her for those things at first, and then sued her so much.
Seriously, knowing these things makes her a little unhappy. Just like the story just now, she didn't know if she would one day attack her younger siblings because she wanted to gain a position of power. Maybe not now, but I really don't know in the future.
"Well, go back and have a good rest, come to me anytime if you have anything. β
Hu Wei understands Yaya's current mood, which is why he is reluctant to say it. But that's all it said, Hu Wei doesn't think there's anything to regret. In fact, the reason why he can get so much today is also the result of betrayal. In a sense, he betrayed the Mandala Empire and only then did he get his current one.
And if he has always been just a squad leader, or a squadron leader, he has no bargaining chips for betrayal. It is precisely because of the growing power in his hands that he wants to get bigger. The mandala could no longer satisfy him, so he betrayed.
"It's like a story. Looking at the back of the girl leaving, Hu Wei muttered to himself.
If he can, Hu Wei hopes that Zhu Daneng, Hou San, Harrison, Chen Dali, and Jebie will ...... And so these people who were born and died with him, never betray him.
Well, that's a good wish. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
