Emperor Xuanwu never expected that he would come up with such a good answer to the prince's exam questions. ●⌒Apex Fiction,
Although Emperor Xuanwu had the strength to strengthen the armed forces of Xuanwu soldiers, it would cost astronomical wealth to dispatch hundreds of thousands of ordinary soldiers at every turn.
The treasury, which was originally full, wanted to send a large number of troops suddenly in a short period of time. It could be foreseen that it was not only stretched, but also empty.
Send corrupt officials to collect money and wealth, and at the same time absorb the resentment of the people. Then the imperial court sent people to clean up such corrupt officials, and used public opinion to release the people's anger. The magic of killing two birds with one stone is so simple.
Emperor Xuanwu didn't have any psychological burden on this kind of thing. After all, how many good people could there be to become the monarch of a dynasty? With such a highly competitive succession environment in Wu Kingdom, no good person can sit in this position.
It is only because of the weak blood of Prince Qi of Qi that a good person like the son of the prince can succeed to the throne. Otherwise, if there are more births, the bad guys must have the upper hand. Because there is no psychological burden, there is less conscience condemnation, and the means of doing things are omnipotent.
Is Mo Er's masterpiece of using corrupt officials to amass money to calm anger? At first, Emperor Xuanwu was so happy, he never thought that the blue is better than the blue, and his son can come up with such a good idea that no one can think of to be a father.
But soon, Emperor Xuanwu realized that this idea was not Dugu Mo's masterpiece.
If it is his masterpiece, why wait until the next day to return it to me? Could it be that when he goes back and thinks about it all night, his mind will be brighter
Of course it was because after returning, he could meet a think tank!
Zhou Zhiruo! It was definitely the idea that this girl came up with.
Zhou Zhiruo is probably the only one in the world who wants to stand side by side with Xiao Ruoyao of Qi State. Even my precious daughter, Princess Qing, is slightly inferior. Emperor Xuanwu knew very well how capable Zhou Zhiruo would be.
It would be a pleasant surprise if Prince Mo came up with this strategy of accumulating wealth and calming anger. But if Zhou Zhiruo came out, Emperor Xuanwu felt that it was true.
Emperor Xuanwu sat down, and muttered again: "When yin prospers and yang degenerates, yin prospers and yang degenerates! Hehe. Could it be that conspiracy is called conspiracy because women are better at it?"
Mr. Peng, who was standing by the side, felt guilty and dared not speak easily.
After resting for a while, Emperor Xuanwu murmured again: "It's a blessing that she is a daughter. Otherwise, I really have to kill her to feel at ease."
Director Peng's sharp voice joked, "Is the emperor talking about Zhou Zhiruo? Or Xiao Ruoyao?"
"Of course it's Zhou Zhiruo." Emperor Xuanwu smiled and said, "This document I received mentioned a wonderful plan. If this plan was made by a man, then this man must be removed before I abdicate."
"Oh? Why did the emperor make such a decision?" Chief Manager Peng asked with a puzzled expression.
In fact, Director Peng knew it in his heart. This is because Emperor Xuanwu was worried that the prince would not be able to deal with this kind of man, and might be usurped by the court.
"Hehe." Emperor Xuanwu didn't know whether he understood that Director Peng was pretending to be stupid, or he was too lazy to explain, so he just smiled and said to him: "But now I can be sure in my heart that it was Zhou Zhiruo who made the plan. But for her, no one can help Mo'er come up with such a clever plan."
"So that's how it is." Chief Manager Peng looked half-knowledgeable. Around the monarch, it is taboo to understand everything.
"Is the eldest prince waiting for the prince's book to be delivered?" Emperor Xuanwu asked.
Manager Peng went to collect immediately, and within half a cup of tea time, he had already taken all the things.
Emperor Xuanwu glanced at Director Peng. He smiled and said, "Are you optimistic about Mo'er?"
Director Peng was in a cold sweat, but on the surface he still pretended to be confused and asked: "Look good? What did the emperor say?"
He was the first to hand over Prince Mo's book before, so he had fully considered the reason for taking refuge in Prince Mo. He believed that with Zhou Zhiruo's help, Prince Mo's presentation would definitely be the best. As long as you read his first, the answers of other princes will not catch your eye. Now he was more confident in his heart, but he didn't expect to be caught by Emperor Xuanwu.
"Be careful." Emperor Xuanwu said coldly, and didn't bother with this kind of thing anymore. Although it is a big taboo for courtiers to take refuge in advance, this can be regarded as giving Chief Peng a face. By the way, he was ordered to stop favoritism with a stick.
Director Peng's heart was pounding, and he almost collapsed in fright. Emperor Xuanwu deserves to be a very wise and wise generation of overlords. You can feel it in every detail. The other party noticed the slightest movement of his own.
It's a good thing to spare myself for the sake of decades of old courtiers. Director Peng is really worried that this matter will fall out of favor, and even his life is in danger.
Fortunately, Miss Zhou cured Emperor Xuanwu's heart failure. Director Peng secretly called a fluke. If Emperor Xuanwu still had this disease, he might be upset and irritable, and he would never be in the current state of Longyan Joy. If I found out about this when I was in a bad mood, I was afraid that I would definitely be in danger.
Think of this possibility. Director Peng felt a little grateful towards Zhou Zhiruo, and felt that this girl, not to mention pretty, could be called a lucky girl. Those who get involved with her seem to have a lot of luck.
If he is like this, Prince Mo is even more lucky.
Before getting Zhou Zhiruo's assistance. Dugu Mo was so pitiful. But ever since Zhou Zhiruo was appointed as an aide to advise, Prince Mo has flourished. From a defeated general who was almost deprived of his title, he rose straight to become the number one candidate for the crown prince.
This is the legendary Wang Fu Xiang? Manager Peng was thinking wildly for a while. But I soon realized that it was not appropriate. It should be said that it is more appropriate to say "Fu Nu", "Fu Jiang" and so on.
Emperor Xuanwu read the papers of the other princes, discarded the honest children who did not provide employment plans at all, and the remaining few who knew how to state their views had no new ideas at all.
Everyone chooses people on the basis of their merits and prepares them with morality. Those who are officials must be clean and honest, and they must be open-minded.
"A bunch of idiots!" Emperor Xuanwu pushed all the papers of the other princes, including the eldest prince, to the ground. Are you a saint? If you are a saint, how can you become an official?"
"What the emperor said is very true." Chief Executive Peng echoed again and again.
"Ah-such a group of sons, it's not as good as a woman who understands the principles of governing the country." Emperor Xuanwu shook his head and sighed helplessly.
He looked at the document handed over by Prince Mo, and read a very quintessential sentence: "Using this method of accumulating wealth by corrupt officials can be said to support the national treasury. It is better to support corrupt officials. If the common people complain, it is better to kill corrupt officials. Raise first and then kill, like a pig." Dogs too. Therefore, it is said that corrupt officials are like pigs and dogs. The common people call them so, and the king treats them as such, which is really sad.”
Director Peng listened, feeling quite uncomfortable.
Corrupt officials have always been high-spirited, thinking that there are people behind them, so they can be domineering. In fact, no matter whether they are above or below, they are treated like pigs and dogs. Really poor...
The more Emperor Xuanwu thought about it, the more interesting it became, and he actually laughed at this moment: "Laughing and cursing, with a tone of compassion, it is definitely the writing style of that eccentric girl Zhou Zhiruo."
After a while, he beckoned: "Go and call Qing girl."
Emperor Xuanwu considered taking a test of Princess Qing.
If you are quick-witted, you can consider asking her to help manage politics.
What Emperor Xuanwu didn't expect was that his decision directly affected the future trend of Wu Kingdom.
Wu Zhe's idea of raising corrupt officials is like raising the national treasury, actually began to make Princess Qing embark on the same path as Wu Zetian in the early days...
***********
Wu Zhe rubbed his nose in Prince Mo's mansion.
Why do you feel like sneezing? Who is talking about me
She just got up, and she was going to go to the Xuanwu Camp with Princess Qing for a stroll.
When I arrived at the palace, I went in after a stroll.
Now she can enter and leave the palace at will.
She fooled around with Concubine Zhuang again, put another half green hat on Emperor Xuanwu contentedly, and went to find Princess Qing refreshed except for her tired fingers.
I don't want Princess Qing to be there. Wu Zhe immediately regretted why he didn't check the situation with the eyes of the two pets in advance, and it turned out that he made a trip for nothing.
On the other hand, Little Wild Boar Liangya sensed Wu Zhe's arrival early, and ran out of Changqing Palace on his own initiative, entangled Wu Zhe and jumped up and down. It didn't stop until Wu Zhe scratched its belly for fun, making it lie on the ground and make a fuss.
"You are becoming more and more like a dog." Wu Zhe picked up the little wild boar, slapped it hard on the buttocks, and looked at Hai Dongqing.
Hai Dongqing looked at the little wild boar with disdain, but when it went to nest under its wings, it still did not refuse.
"Okay, you will be your good wife." Wu Zhe said to Hai Dongqing, smiling and waving goodbye to the two pets.
The maids and eunuchs in Changqing Palace also respectfully sent Wu Zhe away.
Wu Zhe took the carriage to Xuanwu Camp by himself.
The soldiers standing guard at the gate of the camp greeted them quickly, and the female general Qiu came out quickly: "Ah, Commander Zhou."
"I'm here today to find someone to fight with." Wu Zhe startled the female general Qiu when he opened his mouth.
"I have cultivated a little bit of profound energy, so I want to fight with your Xuanwu soldiers." Wu Zhe explained.
This is called an explanation? Practice some mystery? What is this called
The female general Qiu and the female guards around her panicked when they heard this.
Qiu Nu didn't cultivate profound energy, and looked at the female guard with the highest level of Xuanwu beside her.
The female guard in her fifties was a master of seven-star profound energy, and she was quite outstanding among female warriors.
The old guard slowly felt the profound energy of the deputy commander on the opposite side, and couldn't help saying in amazement: "You only have the elementary level of profound energy?"
"That's right. It should be called Xuanqi Chumeng? I just learned it last night." Wu Zhe nodded.
puff-
The crowd almost choked.
Qiu Nujiang was quite familiar with Wu Zhe the day before yesterday, and said in a low voice: "Commander Zhou, you are just beginning to develop profound energy, so you plan to fight with someone. In case you get hurt..."
Wu Zhe patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'll act appropriately."
Everyone dripped sweat.
General Qiu said weakly: "No, I mean you don't get hurt..." (To be continued...)
