Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Chapter 48: Plan

There were only five people left in Yajing's study room. Two pots of green Jiangnan potted plants spewed out bursts of greenery by the window, bringing a ray of coolness. The three of them sat down leisurely in the handsome chairs, took the teacup handed by the green-clothed beauty beside them, and sipped the tea carefully.

The study room became quiet, only the sound of the three of them burying their heads in carefully reading the information was heard, and the beauty in green also sat quietly on the brocade bench behind Wufeng, leaning against Wufeng's chair.

The three of them read the information in their hands and then exchanged with each other. Perhaps the information brought them too much information, which made it difficult for the three of them to digest for a while. Carefully digest the information content just obtained.

Wufeng didn't urge him, but just waited patiently, and then simply turned his gaze out of the window.

In the end, it was Xiao Tang who broke the silence with a light cough, and the beauty in green lightly touched Ailang who was beside him, Wu Feng then looked away from the window, but his face still kept a thoughtful expression.

"How is it? How do you feel?" Wu Feng's words were devoid of any emotion.

As if they were waiting for something, the three of them chose to be silent, until Wufeng cast his eyes on Xiao Tang who was sitting in the middle impatiently, Xiao Tang said cautiously: "My lord, according to the information from the imperial capital, It seems that His Majesty the Emperor already intends to establish a reserve?"

"You think so?" Wufeng said noncommittal, his tone indifferent.

"Well, since His Majesty has assigned tasks to several princes who are expected to compete for the reserve position, it is natural to want to examine the virtues of the princes and see which one of the princes is more suitable to take over his seat , Could it be that His Majesty's body is really going to be unbearable?" Xiao Tang said carefully, on these sensitive topics, even when there were only a few people inside, Xiao Tang was still very cautious.

"Su Qin, what do you think?" Wu Feng's eyes were bright, and he did not answer Xiao Tang's question directly, but threw the topic to Su Qin beside him.

"Well, I agree with Brother Xiao's opinion. Your Majesty is old and in poor health. Naturally, he should choose the crown prince early. It's just that the princes of the empire have their own strengths, especially the forces behind them and the power behind them. All the forces have considerable backgrounds, and a slight mistake will cause an uproar. Even His Majesty the Emperor may not dare to make a random decision under the current situation, so it may be the best way to give them different tasks. Well done , naturally can win His Majesty's favor, if it is not done well, His Majesty can also take this opportunity to cut off their ideas, not to mention the task assigned by His Majesty seems to be quite interesting, let the army of the Northern Military Region attack the Taiping Army, let the army of the Western Military Region find a way It's really interesting to recover Lujiang and Bashan prefectures." Su Qin's tone was much lighter.

"Hey, kill two birds with one stone?" Ling Tianfang continued with a smile, "The northern military region is already under the influence of His Highness, and it can be controlled when His Majesty is here, but once His Majesty is gone, it will be difficult to say. The same is true for the Western Military Region, and the Third Highness also has a lot of influence on them, but His Majesty's actions are enough to make His Royal Highness and Third Highness think about it."

Nodding his head slightly, Wufeng also smiled: "The Seventh Prince, Situ Yuan, is in charge of dealing with the Japanese? Jiangnan and Donghai counties are his lairs, and the Imperial Seventh Army and Navy Fleet are probably his sphere of influence, right? Situ Biao He is in charge of cleaning up the remnants of the Taiping Sect in the interior of the empire, and Situ Lang is in charge of the security of the imperial capital.

Wufeng's words were quite playful, and the three of them could also hear the implication, and they were all thinking about it carefully.

"Hey, it seems that His Majesty the Ninth Prince is very pleased." After a long time, the thoughtful Su Qin slowly said a word.

"Well, it seems to be, responsible for the security of the imperial capital. In this extraordinary period, it seems that this is a thankless job on the surface, but..." Wufeng also nodded meaningfully , no more words.

"Hey, His Majesty's authorization can certainly achieve multiple things in one fell swoop, but it also invisibly boosts the power of several princes. If you don't grasp it well, it's hard to say the pros and cons in the process." Xiao Tang Obviously thinking further, there was a trace of worry on his face, "Your Majesty is already in poor health, if you go before you see the result, there will be many variables in the process, and the resulting storm will be even bigger. No matter which of the princes with greater power ascends to the throne, the others will not be willing to be subordinated, and will definitely use the power in their hands to set off a storm. How should we deal with the Northwest at that time? Which side, whether the existing relationship and interests will be affected, all these factors have to be taken into consideration.”

As expected of Xiao Tang who is experienced in government affairs, even Ling Tianfang secretly admires the other party's foresight. Not only has he seen the impact of the changes in front of him, but he has even taken into account the possible variables that may arise after the death of His Majesty the Emperor. In particular, this boss who holds the power in the Northwest and Northern Luzon is still inextricably linked with several princes in the court. Even Ling Tianfang himself doesn't know whether his boss is more inclined to Which prince, or is he using the other party at all?

"This is beyond your control. Now that things are like this, we can only wait and see what happens. Fortunately, the Taiping Army is now helping us to separate the empire from our northwest. This may be more beneficial to us , the few princes seem to be playing with our Northwest idea, and they are waiting for a price, and if they want to sell, they must be sold at a good price, everyone thinks?" Wufeng said with a cheerful smile, whether it was a joke or a half-truth Pretending to show his own thoughts, even the three people sitting in front of him couldn't see through them for a while.

"Hey, is your lord a person who is up for grabs?" Su Qin asked back with a smile, "From the point of view of my subordinates, my lord should be a buyer. I'm afraid there are many people around us who are up for grabs. , ready to sell to adults."

"Oh?" Wufeng also smiled, as if he didn't even know this, "Really? Hehe, then I have to choose carefully. If I want to buy something, I have to buy something that is genuine and worth buying. .”

From outsiders' point of view, the two people's riddle-like words could not be concealed from Xiao Tang and Ling Tianfang. Both of them were silently thinking about the conversation between Su Qin and Li Wufeng, without interjecting for a while.

"According to the current situation, it seems inappropriate for us to set foot in Kansai at this time. Since His Majesty the Emperor has appointed several princes to take charge of the power, the ministers and workers will inevitably stand in secret, and there will be disputes among the various forces. It has caused many disturbances, and who is stronger and who is weaker will gradually see who has a better chance of ascending to the position of Great Treasure. If we intervene in the Central Plains at this time, we will inevitably be involved. From the perspective of subordinates, it is better for us to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger Fight, recharge your energy, wait for the opportunity to march into the Central Plains when the time is right." Xiao Tang pondered for a while, and finally put forward his own opinion.

"Well, continue." Wufeng nodded slightly, his expression unchanged.

"After all, the foundation of our Northwest and Northern Luzon is too weak. Although we have developed rapidly in the past few years, due to too many wars and a large number of troops, we have also consumed a lot of financial funds. If we want to make a big leap in a short period of time We have to find another way.” Xiao Tang went on with his thoughts and said, “Your Excellency just showed us the opinion of Liang Chongxin, and my subordinates think it is worth considering. However, my subordinates think that there are many tribes in the Indian Kingdom and the internal situation is complicated. The degree is no less than that of the empire, and the personal opinions of the subordinates feel that we can make them fight internally, and we can profit from it. As for taking special measures, as long as the conditions are right, it’s okay to use them occasionally.”

Xiao Tang's last few words stunned the three of them, including Wufeng. They all knew that the director of administration had always been righteous and didn't care much about those heretics. It is really surprising to use special means.

"Hehe, Brother Xiao seems to be enlightened too?" Ling Tianfang couldn't help grinning, and joked, "Could it be that the sun came out from the west?"

"Hey, brother Ling, Xiao Tang is not a rigid person, but Xiao Tang is in charge of the government affairs of Northwest and Northern Luzon for your lord. I am afraid that the means will be difficult to maintain for a long time. Development is the last word, and only a strong and solid economic foundation is the foundation to support a strong side~IndoMTL.com~I think everyone knows this better than Xiao Tang.” With a wry smile, Xiao Tang shook his head obviously feeling very touched, "However, Liang Chongxin has always been calm. Since he dared to propose this idea, he must be quite sure. If he can make a fortune from the Indians, hehe, it is also a good idea. I have long heard that the aristocrats of the Indians are full of food and do nothing all day long, but the means of accumulating wealth are unparalleled. Such a rich and fertile Indian kingdom has made people miserable, and I don’t know how much these guys squeezed out of it. Wealth."

"That's right, ill-gotten gains are obtained in a proper way, and if we spend money for them, it can be regarded as doing good deeds, haha." Ling Tianfang also smiled happily.

"The Kingdom of India is one of the most influential powers in the Central Continent. To the west, it borders the Hansen Alliance, the most powerful national alliance in the Western Continent. It also firmly controls our business route to the west, but Its internal conflicts are numerous, and we can also take this opportunity to step in and gradually expand our influence in the Central Continent, laying the foundation for our future development in the Central Continent. Although the Hyderabad tribe has declined, it is still one of the three major Indian kingdoms. One of the tribes, they are now in urgent need of external assistance to deal with the challenges of the other two rising tribes, in order to maintain their current vested interests, we are the best ally candidates for them, and I believe they are willing to pay some considerable price. In addition, Although we are now focusing on recuperation, it does not mean that we will stop fighting. The subordinates feel that the necessary small-scale battles are more conducive to the growth of the army. If the conditions are suitable, you might as well let our northwest army take turns to fight in northern Luzon. Maybe this can be a warm-up for marching into the Central Plains in the future." Su Qin's words were even more thoughtful, and the three of them nodded repeatedly.
