Chapter Ninety-Three: Gu Ming (Asking for Recommendations, Collections)
"Very rudimentary plan, although there isn't much you can take advantage of. But it is indeed a bit wishful thinking to expect that it can be turned around in this way. Crewe unceremoniously poured cold water. Although it is Party B, on the premise of not violating the contract, Feng Linwan can't do anything to him.
What's more... This thing can still be used as a stand-in doll to save his life at a critical time, Feng Linwan said that he was not angry with him.
"I said I wanted to fish, but I didn't say I wanted to catch these small fish and shrimp. Feng Lin shook his sleeves and said.
There were some noises outside the hall.
Recently, Tianqian Palace has become lively again, and some little eunuchs and palace maids who think they are smart and have some understanding have begun to enter Tianqian Palace, move in front of Feng Linwan, and do some work to serve him. Even if he saw Feng Lin dancing his sword wildly again, he only hid far away and did not get close, but he was no longer scared away.
Feng Linwan's initial purpose seemed to have been achieved a little bit by going crazy.
At least... As an emperor, he lived a little bit like an emperor. is not like a concubine who was beaten into the cold palace, or a prince who was confined within ten steps and was not allowed to go out because of the failure of the rebellion.
"I fish with empty bait, and I can only attract some small fish and shrimp that are blind and smash around. But since these small fish and shrimp are hung on the hook, they are new bait, and with their live jumping, they can naturally attract big fish. Feng Linwan didn't lower his voice, and he was not afraid of being listened to at all.
Outsiders can't see Kru, it looks like Feng Linwan is sitting alone in the hall talking to himself, which is weird and weird.
They can only listen to half of this sentence of dialogue, not only do they not understand the full meaning, but they may not be able to take it seriously, but there are many more chaotic suspicions.
"Do you want to bring those ministers here? Who do you want to come, and who do you think will come?" Kru asked, and he instantly comprehended Feng Linwan's intentions.
Feng Lin said with his hands: "The five ministers who take care of their lives, the power is so great, when the first university scholar Cheng Penghai, the civil minister of the Manchu Dynasty, more than half of them are his protΓ©gΓ©s and old officials, I heard that he had a big birthday last time, but some people rumored that it was called the 'Little Dynasty Meeting', and the civil and military officials who came were more complete than the previous dynasty. However, he is now over sixty years old, if he is not a monk and does not practice any means of longevity, then he will not have a few years to live, even if he is a monk, and even if he has great mana, then he will not be able to do it for a few years. There was an ancestral system in the Great Departure Dynasty, and those who were officials should not be over 90 years old. Originally, it was not impossible to make an exception, but he was too limelight and too powerful, and he was a thorn in the side of others. If you find a flaw, you will definitely attack it. β
So for Cheng Penghai, the most important thing now is to cultivate an heir and inherit his power completely. At this time, he must maintain stability, and all the unstable factors will be both magnified and shrunk in his eyes. He will use a relatively fierce attitude to deal with what he thinks is unstable, but he will remain quiet on the surface, and even smooth out all the storms. So... He won't come to me, he will only find a way to cut off all the fragile minions that I have cultivated. β
"He is the person who supports me the most to continue to be the emperor, but he is also the biggest obstacle on my way to power. β
Feng Linwan's tirade didn't seem to be for Crewe, but like a kind of whisper, for the eunuchs, palace maids, and guards who pricked up their ears inside and outside the hall.
They want to climb up, but they have no direction, like flies without a head.
Feng Linwan's current words are undoubtedly a guiding light.
As everyone knows, Feng Linwan's understanding of Cheng Penghai and even the ministers who care for their lives, as well as more court officials, originally originated from them. It's just that Feng Linwan summed up and deduced the deep meaning that they didn't know and didn't understand, but they were only obsessed with some false appearances. For example, I lamented that Cheng Penghai's birthday was called the scenery of the 'Little Dynasty Meeting', but I didn't see the danger and crisis hidden under this scenery.
"Taibao Wang En, who thought that the official was honest, loyal and courageous, was only thirty-five years old, and was valued by the first emperor, and finally elected as a minister who took care of his life, and the official residence was a product. Feng Linwan continued, but inside and outside the hall, many ears had already been pricked up. Even some palace people who had no intention of taking refuge in him were curious, and heard that there were rumors that the Son of Heaven was evaluating the minister of Gu Ming, and when they heard the news, they quietly hid in the corner and eavesdropped.
"So, what are you waiting for this Wang En?" Kru is like an emotionless machine, just following Feng Linwan's words, being a qualified person, this seems to be expressing his own opinion, but in fact, there is no sincerity at all.
Although this man is loyal, he is not loyal to one family or one country, but to the people of the world. At this time, he was in the prime of life, and he was an iron-blooded ruler, and there were also a group of people with lofty ideals gathered around him, in order to leave the world and govern it in an orderly manner, but it was completely different from Cheng Penghai's selfishness and selfishness, forming a party and running a private business, they were the sworn enemies of the DPRK and China, and the people of the two parties were fighting endlessly. β
"It's just that the magic of this right is here. Some people seize power for selfish purposes, and some people seize power for the sake of the people of the world. But whether it's for public or private purposes, it's not a good thing for me. Cheng Penghai will protect me for his own interests, as long as I am still a puppet. But Wang En... As long as I block him from promoting the way of prosperity and educating the virtues of the world, then even if I am the son of today, he will dare to abolish the emperor and set up a new king. β
Feng Linwan's words, many people inside and outside the hall couldn't understand it.
Listening to this description and evaluation, why does this Wang En obviously feel that he is a loyal and good minister, but he can't be used by the emperor, and may even be the first to turn against him?
In fact, the reason couldn't be simpler.
Perhaps by mistake, during his time as a minister, Wang En understood the beauty of locking up the monarchy and replacing the rule of man with the rule of law. In addition, the greed for power is not only for fame and fortune, but also for ambition and ideals. Although most of the power lovers in the world are the former, the existence of the latter cannot be denied.
The contradiction between Wang En and Feng Linwan lies in the contradiction between position and morality, and non-interests can be reconciled, but conflicts are most likely to erupt.
After saying that, Feng Linwan went on to count the third minister.
"General Huo Quyi, the elder brother of the Queen Mother, and my uncle. is not only a foreign relative, but also holds a large amount of military power, these years to resist foreign humiliation, resist the invasion of other countries outside the country, can be described as a great achievement. Because of this, his prestige in the army is extremely high, and those arrogant generals also obey him. About half of the soldiers in the world only know that there is General Huo, but they don't know that there is a son of heaven. If you don't have the heart to oppress the emperor, you must be tied up and killed. This emperor throughout the ages has never had anyone who can tolerate such a subordinate... β
"Come to think of it, I'm no exception. Feng Linwan's voice spread outside the main hall, and a minister wearing a purple robe who came outside the hall after hearing the wind tidied up his habits, holding a jade wat board without the eunuch announcing it, and went straight to the door of the main hall.
"Then I don't know Your Majesty, how do you evaluate the minister?" the person who came neither kowtowed nor saluted, his attitude was arrogant, his expression was arrogant, and he asked in a very domineering manner.
