Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 18 Strategy
"Then tell me what you think." Situ Mingyue said calmly.
"I think it would be too obvious to weaken Li Wufeng's power at present, and it would be inappropriate to adjust his position. In my humble opinion, Li Wufeng can be allowed to rest in the imperial capital. Considering his hard work and achievements, the long-term Guarding the border, let him rest for a while to show His Majesty's concern; secondly, he is already twenty-three years old and has not yet married. Considering that he was busy with official duties in the early days, the Northwest is basically stable now, so he can spend more time thinking about himself. Personal problems, imprisoning him in the imperial capital in a disguised form, gradually weakening his control over the northwest and northern Luzon."
"On the other hand, we can do more work for his subordinates. As far as I know, most of the commanders of his main force in the northwest are from the city guard system, and most of them have studied at the Imperial Military Academy. To the extent of loyalty, it should still be loyal to the empire. We can contact more, contact more, and adopt various methods to absorb them as much as possible. The large number of recruits for military officer training in the Northwest region will allow them to come to the imperial capital for training, and we can use this to do more work during this training period." He Zhiqiu suggested the first move with a smile.
"Well, continue." Situ Mingyue was noncommittal.
"In addition, a considerable number of officials in their government system are officials from the original Northwest administrative system. We can connect them through the original relationship, and at the same time, we can let them go to the imperialist university for short-term training by means of training. And then develop it. At the same time, in view of the lack of talents in the Northwest, we can develop some talents in the Imperial University, and then recommend them to work in the Northwest, and gradually return the administrative power of the Northwest to the Empire." He Zhiqiu raised the second point, although the words are very strong. Subtle, but the implications are self-evident.
"As long as Li Wufeng stays in the imperial capital for a long time, his influence in the northwest and even northern Luzon will gradually decrease, and his control over his subordinates will also gradually weaken. At that time, your majesty, you will adjust him in a fair and honest manner, no matter what Whether to transfer to other counties or stay in the imperial capital, he is already a toothless tiger and will not be able to achieve anything." He Zhiqiu finally concluded.
After hearing He Zhiqiu's suggestion, Situ Mingyue didn't speak for a while, and her eyes were already closed, as if she was resting her eyes.
Seeing that His Majesty did not respond, He Zhiqiu was a little anxious. He coughed lightly, "Your Majesty."
"He Aiqing, aren't the methods you mentioned a bit illogical? Right now, Li Wufeng has not shown any objection. He is still a great hero of our empire. We can rely on his slightly out-of-the-way behavior Is it a bit too hasty to make him ``````? Can you take a moment to observe?" Situ Mingyue was a little conflicted in his heart. From a rational point of view, he knew that what He Zhiqiu said was absolutely correct. This was to prevent Li Wufeng from It is an excellent way to get big, imprison him in the imperial capital, let the luxurious and comfortable life of the imperial capital wear down his ambition, and at the same time gradually disintegrate and weaken his control and influence over his subordinates. This is not impossible, but he From an emotional point of view, I always feel a little bit sorry for using this method to deal with him just after he made a world-class achievement for the empire.
"There must be no delay, Your Majesty! Since Li Wufeng has returned to the Imperial Capital this time, he must not be allowed to return to the Northwest. Don’t let him go back to the Northwest and North Luzon! Otherwise, letting the tiger go back to the mountains will be a big mistake, and Lin Guoxiong is the best example.” He Zhiqiu also knew that his tone was a little strong, but at this time he couldn’t care less.
"According to your opinion, who is responsible for the northwest and northern Luzon?" Situ Mingyue sighed, and finally accepted He Zhiqiu's suggestion. As an emperor, he must never let his emotions influence his reason. What he said were all good words, even though they were a bit harsh, but they were thought-provoking. He must be responsible to the empire and the entire royal family.
"Let Li Wufeng hang on for the time being, and we will not make any changes for the time being, so as not to irritate Li Wufeng too much. We will take it step by step. Anyway, the situation in the northwest has stabilized, and there is no big movement in the northern Luzon. They are concentrating on dealing with threats from the south and west, and they don’t even think about coming from the north, otherwise they wouldn’t sign any agreement with Li Wufeng. As long as Li Wufeng can’t return to the northwest and northern Luzon, he will have to do nothing forever.” He Zhiqiu saw His Majesty passing by After a fierce ideological struggle, he finally agreed with his own opinion, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone became lighter.
"Well, I understand." Situ Mingyue suddenly felt exhausted.
"Your Majesty, I have absolutely no selfish intentions in this performance. Everything is for the long-term future of the empire. Please learn from Your Majesty." With a clear conscience, I believe His Majesty can also understand his heart.
"He Aiqing, I understand your intentions very well. You don't need to have any worries. In such a big court, I will be satisfied if I can have as many pillars as you to share my worries." Sighing, Situ Mingyue He waved his hand.
"Your Majesty is serious. All the ministers in the court are dedicated to serving His Majesty, and they are just thinking farther." He Zhiqiu quickly thanked.
"Hmph, you don't need to say more. Although I am old, I understand very well." Situ Mingyue's mouth curled slightly.
"The minister will kneel down."
"Go, pay attention to your body." Situ Mingyue said in a disinterested manner.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern." He Zhiqiu bowed respectfully and left in a hurry.
"Who is outside?" As soon as He Zhiqiu left, a figure appeared by the door.
"Your Majesty, it's a concubine. Seeing that your majesty hasn't come for supper so late, I specially cooked a bowl of lotus ear soup with rock sugar. Please drink it while it's hot." A man in his thirties came in. The young woman, wearing a coiled dragon carving incense bun, shows her extraordinary status as a noble concubine. The light powder makeup brings out her white and greasy skin, and a Tang-style cheongsam outlines her curvaceous body. Concave, protruding, those soul-stirring eyes, coupled with the smooth and sticky soft words, are enough to make any normal man go crazy.
"Oh, how long have you been outside?" Situ Mingyue's sharp eyes fell on her pink face. The empire made it clear that no one in the imperial study room except the emperor was allowed to enter the harem, and the eunuchs who served the marquis must not exceed the age of fifteen, and none of them could read or write. Normally, the Imperial Study Room is strictly closed, surrounded by dozens of Ouchi guards.
"The courtiers and concubines have just arrived. If your Majesty doesn't believe you, you can ask them." The lady spoke softly, her eyes swept over the two young eunuchs who followed closely behind her.
The two young eunuchs trembled when they saw Situ Mingyue's gaze turned, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Concubine Sogna has indeed just arrived."
"Well, let it go, it's rare for you to have your heart." Situ Mingyue motioned the lady to put down the jade cup on her hand, "You go back to the palace first, I'll be here later."
Taking the opportunity of putting down the jade cup in his hand, he quickly glanced at the opened memorial on the imperial case, and then smiled coquettishly, "The concubine will go back first." The lady turned around and left gracefully.
"Old Leng, why didn't you let me write a letter to Emperor Father?" Situ Tai sat sullenly in his study in the mansion, "Li Wufeng's power is expanding too fast, if this continues, he will have a great impact on us. We can't just watch this guy expand his power without doing anything."
"Your Highness, you are too impatient. It is true that Li Wufeng's strength is indeed expanding rapidly, but his main strength is concentrated in the northwest, and he does not have any allies in the imperial capital. His Highness the Sixth Highness and His Highness the Ninth Highness, but Li Wufeng probably knows what their plans are." Leng Qian calmly explained.
"This time Li Wufeng used the benefits obtained from the expedition to Luzon to cater to His Majesty's intentions. If anyone spoke out against His Majesty at that time, it would be in vain. But the situation will be different after he comes down. The old man dares to assert that at this time, there must have been many ministers who opposed Li Wufeng's secret papers and submitted them to His Majesty's royal case. Shooting the headshot, Li Wufeng's actions will definitely arouse the jealousy and dissatisfaction of many people, attack him Naturally, there are plenty of people there, and there is no need for us to step in." Leng Qian continued to analyze with a smile.
"Your Highness, you must not underestimate Your Majesty. Although he is not young, his thinking is beyond the comparability of ordinary people. He is very clear about the situation in the empire. And those few in the court This old fellow is very thieves, and they all understand the importance of interests. Your Majesty and they will not be clear about Li Wufeng's actions, and what methods to use against him is probably not what you need to care about, Your Highness." A secretive smile appeared on the corner of Leng Qian's mouth.
"You mean, Father Emperor will ``````? But this morning, he was promoted to the title of Li Wufeng, and let him serve as the Governor of Northern Luzon!" not understand.
"Hey~IndoMTL.com~ This is the art of the emperor. Li Wufeng has made great contributions. Naturally, the award should be promoted, but as for how to operate it later, it depends on what His Majesty thinks. However, I think it will be difficult for Li Wufeng to return to the Northwest." Leng Qian looked determined.
"Really? Old Leng, are you so sure?" Situ Tai was both surprised and delighted.
"Let's observe and observe the changes in the future. However, this Li Wufeng is not a good person, maybe he will come up with some strange tricks." Leng Qian thought for a while, and said hesitantly, "Maybe This guy will come to you, Your Highness, and then we will check it carefully. This guy is really capable. Even if he stays in the imperial capital, his influence in the northwest and his trust in the group of people under him should still be certain. Let's control it, and see if it can be used by us when the time comes."
"That will be a good thing for us. If we can control the army in the northwest, it will be a great help to us. However, this is not something that can be achieved in a day or two." Situ Tai Still more cautious.
"Well, I'm still thinking, this Li Wufeng is not stupid, he should have thought of the storm he will encounter this time when he returns to the imperial capital, doesn't he have any countermeasures?" middle.
"But even if Li Wufeng knew that returning to the emperor would be troublesome, he would still have to come back. Northwest is still unable to leave the support of the empire. He can't find any excuses to get rid of it." Situ Tai was also thinking.
"It seems that there are still many variables in this matter, maybe I was too optimistic just now, Li Wufeng will not be so simple." Unable to think of any doubts, Leng Qian finally shook his head and said, "Let's observe for a while before we talk. "But his intuition told him that Li Wufeng was definitely not someone who would sit still, and he must have his own countermeasures.
