Chapter 6 The Death of Wei
Inside the Yangxin Hall.
Yao Guangyun is indeed shocked.
Counting since Jiang Ling ascended the throne, he hasn't seen Jiang Ling for about four months.
Jiang Ling's talent is inherent, but after all, age is here. In the deep palace, what can a twenty-year-old woman know?
If I hadn’t taught some political opinions, I would have been even more ignorant. As a woman, I shouldn’t have learned the art of the emperor.
Unexpectedly, in just four months, Jiang Ling would have such an opinion, which not only proves that Jiang Ling is extremely talented.
It can also be seen that she has been under too much pressure in the past four months.
Everyone in the world thinks the emperor is good, but no one knows the emperor's sorrow.
Especially the emperor who wants to be a wise king and a sage king.
"Your Majesty, there are some things that ordinary people should not say much about. But now that Your Majesty has seen the situation clearly, ordinary people have the courage to say a few words of advice."
Yao Guangyun stopped pretending. If Jiang Ling had such an idea, he would not hide it.
I didn’t say it before because it would be useless, but now I have to say it.
"Sir, please speak."
The empress looked serious, but she was also quite excited inside. The mentor in front of her was no ordinary person.
Before his death, his father told him that Yao Guangyun had the ability to reach the sky, but he could see too clearly and he liked to be leisurely and not stained by the mortal world.
So there is no need to worry about him being used by the enemy, but it will be difficult to conquer.
Now that Yao Guangyun is speaking out, it is enough to prove that he has proved his talent. Of course, all this is thanks to the spies of the Chu Dynasty.
"Since ancient times, all court policies have actually been party struggles, court struggles, and imperial power struggles."
"Changing rice into mulberry is a good thing, but if politics is mixed in, it will often be counterproductive."
"In other words, if the emperor does not centralize power, many things will be difficult to carry out. No matter how big the external troubles are, internal problems must be solved first."
Yao Guangyun said it seriously to teach the empress another lesson.
Jiang Ling listened carefully and did not dare to be negligent.
"Excuse me, sir, how can I centralize power?"
Jiang Ling raised doubts.
"Strengthen the imperial power, check and balance the three parties, alienate and divide, and use both kindness and power."
Yao Guangyun told him a method, but this method made Jiang Ling silent.
Strengthen the imperial power? How to strengthen it? I ascended the throne as a woman, and the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty had different ideas.
The vassal kings in various places are even more eager to move, and the Chu Dynasty wants to annex the Wei Dynasty at all times.
There are also grassland tribes in the north. The Dazhen cavalry overwhelms everything and often plunders.
There are still Japanese pirates roaming around in the east. Amid internal and external troubles, what can be done to strengthen the imperial power?
Moreover, among the three parties in North Korea and China, the largest party advocates that he ascend to the throne, how can they be checked and suppressed?
It sounds possible to create divisions, but the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were not stupid. If they dared to make even the slightest move, the courtiers would immediately unite.
"Please sir, please explain."
Jiang Ling continued to ask, hoping that Yao Guangyun could point out a clear path.
The latter shook his head and looked at Jiang Ling and said: "Since His Majesty ascended the throne, the common people have been thinking hard about ways to break the situation."
"Although I have eyebrows, I have been unable to open them."
"Now that the Wei Dynasty has reached a deadlock, it needs a brand new party, and this party must be close to His Majesty. At the same time, Your Majesty also fully believes in this new party."
"In this way, we can shake the court and stir up this stagnant water."
The way to break the situation.
It was a party close to the imperial power, and he could not think of a more suitable party for this party.
"How about a poor scholar?"
"I opened Enke."
Jiang Ling's mind was particularly active and she immediately thought of this.
"No." Yao Guangyun shook his head: "Although the prince from a poor family has no power and no background, it stands to reason that he should be close to His Majesty."
"But in the final analysis, scholars are scholars, and they cannot contact His Majesty day and night."
"In addition, under the erosion of power and wealth, they will eventually be assimilated and become a new party."
"The common people think it's inappropriate."
This is Yao Guangyun's view. Jiang Ling understands this truth clearly.
Cultivating scholars from poor families will eventually turn into a new political party.
It’s still an unsolvable problem.
"Your Majesty, don't be anxious about this matter. Your Majesty should think about it carefully. The common people will also think more about it during this time."
Such a big matter cannot be settled in a short period of time and requires long-term planning.
"Okay."
"I'm sorry to trouble you tonight, sir."
"Come here, escort Mr. Guangyun back to the temple."
Jiang Ling nodded, knowing in her heart that she couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
"The common people resign."
Yao Guangyun made a ceremony and then left the Yangxin Hall.
After Yao Guangyun leaves.
In the Yangxin Hall, Jiang Ling couldn't help but lean on the dragon chair, her beautiful face full of sorrow.
The six-hundred-year-old Wei Dynasty is like an ark in the waves, which may collapse at any time.
Today, Jiang Ling is also fully aware of the crisis in the Wei Dynasty.
Changing rice to mulberry is obviously a good thing. If it weren't for Xu Shouyun's remarks, I would have really implemented it.
At that time, public dissatisfaction will spread and a big mistake will be made.
"Xu Shouyun."
Inexplicably, Xu Shouyun appeared in Jiang Ling's mind.
"I wonder if this person will have any good ideas."
Jiang Ling had an idea.
As soon as the idea was born, it got out of hand. However, we had already contacted him once, so it would be a bit uncomfortable to contact him again.
We need to relax for two days. Let’s deal with the current matters first.
"Yunrou."
She shouted in a low voice, and soon the hall was pushed open, and a woman in a light blue robe was seen walking towards her.
The woman's appearance is also extremely beautiful, especially her figure, which is slightly more amazing than the empress.
But the temperament is a little less than that of the empress, but the temperament of the two is different.
The beauty of the empress is a kind of smart beauty, slightly domineering.
The woman in front of me is pure and pure.
This is Chu Yunrou, Jiang Ling's personal maid. She has been with him since childhood and serves as the chief steward in the palace.
"This slave has met Your Majesty."
Chu Yunrou spoke softly.
"Concubine Liu asked for some eunuchs to accompany her. Among the new eunuchs in the palace, there was one named Xu Shouyun. She asked him to come over and promoted him to a first-class eunuch."
Jiang Ling looked casual.
The latter nodded directly without hesitation.
But at the end, Chu Yunrou continued to speak: "Your Majesty, the marriage proposal proposed by the Barbarian King of Southern Xinjiang needs urgent consideration. The Barbarian King has already sent someone to urge it."
Chu Yunrou spoke up and mentioned the marriage.
"Okay, I will take care of it."
Jiang Ling nodded, but her heart felt inexplicably more stressful.
Peacemaking is not a big deal, all major dynasties have marriages, but the problem is that the barbarian kings of southern Xinjiang have proposed marriages five times.
In order to seek stability and for the iron mines in southern Xinjiang, the Wei Dynasty agreed one by one.
But the women who were sent out rarely had a happy ending. Information came that she was tortured by the barbarian king and looked like a human being, but Nanjiang told them that everything was fine.
It is impossible for the Wei Dynasty to raise an army because of this kind of thing.
So I can only hold my nose and admit it.
Now that the Barbarian King is asking for peace again, this is undoubtedly an invisible pressure. Once agreed, there will be great controversy among the people.
But considering the overall situation, what can she do?
"By the way, when you convey my order, don't mention anything about me to him."
Jiang Ling opened her mouth to deal with Xu Shouyun's promotion.
As for Chu Yunrou, she gave her absolute trust, and he was the only person she trusted in the palace.
"This slave obeys your order."
