Joy of Life: I, a man, became the Queen of Northern Qi?

Chapter 36 The most important thing now is to seize power!

According to the timeline, Fan Xian should have set off for Kyoto by now, and his mission to Northern Qi should have taken less than two years (when Fan Xian entered the capital, Zhan Doudou had been the emperor for two years). This means that Nanqing will send troops to Northern Qi in one to one and a half years!

By then, Northern Qi will lose a state of land!

what is this?
This is ceding territory in exchange for peace, a great shame and humiliation!

If Li An had no ability, then it would be fine. If he was poor, he could just take care of himself and the original owner could just bury his head and live a good life. But he has traveled through time and space and brought with him a system that can change his fate (although this system is not very serious). Can he still swallow this?
If he doesn't do something to change the situation, he might as well not have traveled through time!

But time waits for no one~
Thinking of this, Li An hurriedly advised: "Doudou, you are too soft-hearted! I just want to ask you, according to your method, how long will you have to live in such a miserable way like now?"

The little emperor did not answer this question.

She broke away from Li An's hand and slowly lifted the wine bottle on the table beside the bed. She poured some wine into the glass and said softly:

"I know your method is feasible, but you can't just replace them all without any discrimination, right? The time is too short to fully see a person's full picture. If there are some evil people or people with bad intentions hiding among the new people, even if they are loyal to me..."

“Isn’t being loyal enough?”

Li An didn't care about the little emperor's face and ruthlessly interrupted her. At this time, there were only two of them in the room, so he pointed it out: "Doudou, do you want to make Da Qi return to its heyday in a short period of time, with rivers and seas calm and peaceful, and the people free from the disasters of war and live and work in peace and contentment?"

It's not enough to just think about it. Zhan Doudou can't do that now.

Not only could she not do this, she couldn't even implement her own ideas completely. Once the order left the palace, it was unknown how far it could go.
Slowly shaking her head, she moved her eyes away from the wine glass and looked at Li Ang, waiting for what to say next.

"Your Majesty can only do one thing now!"

Li An's expression was serious, and he even addressed Zhan Doudou in a formal way, calling him Your Majesty, "That means taking back your power as an emperor!"

"Who cares whether the people under him are good or bad? As long as they are loyal to you, even if they are corrupt and treacherous, they can be promoted quickly! If they are not loyal to you, even if they are capable ministers of governing the country, we will not keep any of them! It is right to revitalize Da Qi and maintain clean government, but all of this can only be done when Your Majesty is firm and your orders are unimpeded. We can do it slowly in the future."

Perhaps he was persuaded by Li An, the little emperor sighed and said quietly: "Tomorrow, it will be over. I know An'er, you want to use some people, but these people are two-faced and flattering, and they are not trustworthy at all."

"We don't need to put any trust in them. It's enough to drive them with interests."

Li An patted the little emperor on the shoulder and said, "When water is too clear, there will be no fish. In the village where I grew up, even the old people and children know this. Doudou, the court is the same. If you want to stabilize the court, everyone has their own use."

Capable ministers and honest officials can do their jobs and will do what they think is right, but all of this may not necessarily be completely in line with the emperor's thoughts and interests.

Corrupt officials are capable of doing things, and loyalty to the emperor is their foundation. They can also monitor the former, which can be used to balance the court and prevent the officials from becoming a monolithic entity.
"If a country wants to have face, it needs to have substance. Kings like you and royal family members like me are the face. The face should be upright and used to entertain guests, while the substance is used to do dirty work."

"On this side, I treated people to a meal for the sake of appearance, but on the other side, I had to kill a few people for the sake of appearance."

"Northern Qi is now in a precarious situation, with domestic tax revenues declining again and again. Although the imperial merchants are making up for it, it is not a long-term solution. Outside, there is also Southern Qing, eyeing us covetously and sharpening their knives! If we want to break through and develop, there will be a lot of dirty work to do. We can't do it all by ourselves, or keep bothering the state master. This is the use of these 'two-faced, opportunistic' people!"

This time, the little emperor was really curious.

She looked at Li An as if she was truly understanding her beloved concubine for the first time today.

"An'er, what did you study before? Is there any great master living in seclusion in that small village outside the capital? If there is, you will go with me tomorrow and invite him out of the mountains and bring him into the court. I will definitely use him!"

"What master?"

Li An was full of confusion. I was telling you that I was going to set up a second factory, employ treacherous officials, and act tyrannically! What are you talking about over there?

"If there wasn't a master who taught An'er these things."

The little emperor's eyes were clear yet stupid, and his words seemed to be saying: You're not even that good in bed, how could you have come up with these things?
What do you mean?

Isn't this looking down on people?

Please draw your knife immediately and write off all love!

Li An turned around angrily and pointed his head at Zhan Doudou.
"Really there is no expert?"

The little emperor came closer, still sounding somewhat unconvinced.

"I did study literature for a few years with the local teacher, but there is no such expert as your majesty mentioned." She shook her shoulders and shook off the little emperor's persistent hand, saying in a sullen tone, "Couldn't I have come up with it myself?"

"Of course!"

It seems that there is really no master. Zhan Doudou responded, stretched out his hand again, and gradually moved downwards.
The two were laughing and joking, and the scene suddenly became erotic again.
suddenly
"Here comes the chicken soup~"

The eunuch was holding a tray with two porcelain cups and some snacks on it. He deliberately shouted loudly outside to remind His Majesty and Concubine De in the hall, indicating his arrival.

He has been in the harem for many years.

Do you really think he doesn't know what happened inside in the evening?
You can only survive long if you pretend to be stupid!
Didn't you see the eunuch Gao Zhongxian in front? He was too smart and got punished. I must not make the same mistake again.
"Come in."

This is His Majesty's order. Listen to the sound. Hmm, it's very stable. It's taking a break.
With his head lowered, the maid beside him pushed open the palace door, and the eunuch walked in with his body bent. After placing the tray on the table, he asked, "Your Majesty, Madam Defei, do you have any other instructions?"

While speaking, his eyes were fixed on the ground.
"Go down, no one should disturb you without your summons!"

"Yes."

The eunuch turned around and walked out with small steps, his body movements reaching the extreme level!

what!
Here comes the chicken soup I wanted!
After putting on his shoes, Li An walked to the main hall table, brought back the tray and placed it on the table. Without any formalities, he picked up a porcelain cup and started drinking, saying, "This tastes good! Doudou, you should drink some too to replenish yourself."

The little emperor took it and looked a little puzzled.

"An'er, why are you telling me all this today? Aren't you afraid?"

Li An was slightly startled, put down the porcelain cup in his hand, smiled slightly, and said, "You and I are now husband and wife, and our fates are one. If you are well, I am well too."

"If I have to find someone in this world to open my heart to, it would be you."

"What am I afraid to say?"
