I, the queen and the father, start with a deer as a horse

Chapter 87
Zhou Guo.

Imperial Palace, Qianqing Palace.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Emperor Zhou looked at the information presented by the East Police Department with a gloomy expression.

a month ago.

He couldn't think of anything.

With his full support, the spies from the Dongji Incident Factory couldn't even get a small MSG formula!
What annoyed him even more.

The intelligence organization that didn't exist at all before—the No. [-] village of Qianguo, sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain, and appeared all over Qianguo, pulling out many spies sent by Dongchang.

Even the spy who had been lurking in the Qian Kingdom for more than ten years was found out.

even!

According to the latest information submitted by Dongchang, the power of the No. [-] village in Qianguo has penetrated into Dazhou!
Although most of them have been cleared by Dongchang, it is still unknown whether any fish slipped through the net.

You know, it takes a lot of time, energy and money to build such a powerful intelligence organization!

For example, Zhou Guo's Dongji Incident Factory developed to the scale it is today through the continuous investment of several generations of great Zhou emperors.

This No. [-] village in the Qian Kingdom seemed to have appeared out of thin air. In just a few months, it had woven an impenetrable intelligence network in the Qian Kingdom. It was really unimaginable!
Dongchang's interpretation of this is that the No. [-] Village of Qianguo has always existed, but it was hidden in the dark before collecting some trivial information.

The empress of Qian Kingdom ascended the throne, and they just showed up and started to do real things.

As for who is behind the scenes of Qianguo's first village.

From the current point of view, it is no surprise that it is the prime minister of Qianguo!

To be precise, it is the Prime Minister of the Qian Kingdom and the Empress of the Qian Kingdom!
Don't look at these two people who often confronted each other in the court, the prime minister of Qianguo even acted out in front of all the officials.

Actually.

It is very likely that the two have reached an agreement behind their backs.

Or even wearing the same pair of pants at all!
The momentum in the court is like water and fire, it is just a trick to confuse the princes and nobles and the surrounding countries!

otherwise.

How can it be explained that the prime minister of the Qian Kingdom raised private soldiers, formed a party for personal gain, and acted cronyism, but the Empress of the Qian Kingdom turned a blind eye to it, and even secretly supported it?
To know!
No matter how weak the empress of the Qian Kingdom is, she is still the emperor of a country!
If you really want to use the emperor's mind to balance the power of the court, how can Fang Dang and his family dominate!
All of these things all point to one thing.

The empress is the prime minister, and the prime minister is the empress!
Maybe, they both sleep in the same bed at night!
"Wu Mingkong"

"Fang Xiu."

"One is in the East Palace, and the other is in a high position, and they can still dormant for many years, holding back and holding back until the late emperor passed away, and then they showed their prominence. What a good trick!"

"From this point of view, I really underestimated you, and Qian Guo!"

Zhou Huang put down the information in his hand, and at the same time his face was gloomy, a sharp cold light burst out from his eyes!
The original idea of ​​wanting to cut dry became more determined.

"With these two people in Qianguo, they will definitely become my confidantes in the future!"

For such an enemy with great potential.

Zhou Huang's consistent attitude is to destroy it directly!

The longer the delay, the more accidents are likely to occur.

Think of this.

He didn't hesitate anymore, and ordered: "Let the great scholars come over, I have something to tell them!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After a while.

Several bachelors came to Qianqing Palace.

"I see you, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Zhou glanced over them one by one, waved his hands, and said calmly, "Sit."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After several great scholars saluted, they took their seats one after another.

Emperor Zhou glanced at them, without any nonsense, and went straight to the point:

"I want to send troops to attack Qiang in October of this year, when the autumn harvest is over, and I invite all college students to draft a call to action and announce it to the world!"

As soon as this word comes out.

The pupils of the five academicians were all shrunk, obviously they did not expect that Emperor Zhou summoned them for this matter.

a while.

Just now someone said: "Your Majesty wants to attack again?"

The speaker was Wei Dongzheng, a scholar of Dongge University.

Zhou Huang looked at him and said lightly: "Why not?"

Seeing that Emperor Zhou didn't deny it, Wei Dongzheng stood up, saluted and said firmly, "Neither for the country nor for the people!"

Emperor Zhou snorted coldly, showing displeasure on his face, and said coldly: "I didn't ask for your opinions, I just asked you to draft a call to action, and you can just do it!"

Wei Dongzheng said: "Your Majesty may not listen to your ministers' opinions, but you must not block your ministers' mouths and prevent them from speaking!"

After a pause, he continued:
"And if Your Majesty doesn't care about the opinions of the ministers and others, he will not call the ministers and others to discuss matters!"

Zhou Guo, like Wu Guo, abolished Zhongshu Province, abolished the prime minister, set up a cabinet, and assisted the emperor in handling government affairs.

It stands to reason that although the cabinet scholars are prime ministers, their rights are greatly weakened.

But Zhou Guo's situation is different.

Zhou Huang's implementation of the New Deal aroused complaints from the gentry class.

He needs the support of several cabinet scholars, let them stand in the front, otherwise the New Deal will be difficult to move forward.

This is also where Wei Dongzheng dared to contradict Emperor Zhou.

"The minister just said that neither the country nor the people should be attacked. There are four reasons."

"First, although the Qian Kingdom is weak, it was once a big country, and the people had a strong sense of belonging to the imperial court, especially when the empress ascended the throne, she was thriving and loved by the people. !"

"Secondly, it has been less than a year since my Great Zhou signed an armistice agreement with the Qian Kingdom. At this time, tearing up the agreement and blatantly attacking Qiang is not appropriate in terms of emotion or reason. I am afraid that people in the world will despise it!"

"Thirdly, the strength of the Qian State is not vulnerable. What happened in Qingzhou recently proves this point. The emergence of two thousand heavy cavalry means that in unknown places, it is still possible to fight a large army. Hiding more elites!
The ancients said, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know the enemy but know yourself, you will win and lose once; if you do not know the enemy and yourself, you will be imperiled in every battle!My Da Zhou can only be regarded as not knowing the enemy but knowing myself at best. If I start a war rashly, whether I will win or lose is still unknown! "

"Fourth, my Great Zhou is implementing the New Deal, and the gentry in every state and county are complaining. At this time, these people must strongly oppose it! Your Majesty's efforts for the New Deal are very likely to be wasted!"

"In war, we should pay attention to the right time, the right place, and the harmony between the people. Now there is neither the right time nor the right place, and there is no harmony between people. Why should your majesty start the war lightly!"

Wei Dongzheng's words are well-founded and convincing.

The other four great scholars present were all deeply convinced.

Seeing this scene, Emperor Zhou's expression became even more gloomy, and he said coldly: "I repeat, I did not discuss with you! It is my will to kill you!"

The voice fell.

Xie Qian, the grand scholar of Huagaidian, stood up, saluted first, and then said:
"I think what Duke Wei said has some truth. It has been said since ancient times that one cannot have both fish and bear's paw. Now is the critical moment of the New Deal. Cutting down at this time is very likely to cause the court's efforts to be wasted.

The Qian Kingdom is now flourishing and changing with each passing day. Seeing the weather of rivers and seas, His Majesty is worried about this, and wants to cut it down and kill it in the bud. This is human nature!

The minister also thought that cutting dry is imperative!It's just that the right time, place and people are not in my big week, why don't you give Dongchang some time to collect more information on Qianguo, and wait until the time is right before cutting Qiang! "

Hearing this, Emperor Zhou's expression eased a little, but it was still gloomy.

Seeing this scene, Xie Qian, Wei Dongzheng and the other three academicians looked at each other. They all got up, stood in front of Emperor Zhou, and saluted together:
"I implore Your Majesty. Think twice!"

See five great scholars have reached an agreement.

Even if Emperor Zhou wanted to kill Gan again, there was nothing he could do in a short time.

His face was gloomy, his cold eyes glanced at several grand scholars, suppressed his anger, and spit out a word.

"roll!"

What kind of temper is this new emperor.

The few bachelors knew it well in their hearts, they didn't bother to argue with him, they just saluted.

"Sir, please retire!"

After several grand scholars left.

Zhou Huang suddenly picked up the inkstone on the case, and smashed it heavily to the ground, burning with anger, he roared:

"How dare they! How dare!"

When the eunuchs around saw this scene, they all knelt on the ground, trembling with fear on their faces.

Emperor Zhou smashed a few more objects, and his anger subsided a little.

Think of the information provided by Dongchang before.

On the surface, the female emperor of Qian Kingdom and the prime minister of Qian Kingdom are at odds with each other, but they are actually working together.

Suddenly, a brilliant plan appeared in his mind.

thought for a moment.

A smile appeared on his face, and he returned to his original gentle appearance, and ordered:
"Let the eldest princess come to see me."

aside.

The eunuch hurriedly said: "Yes, Your Majesty!"
