Chapter 1241 Stupid Emperor

After laughing for a long time, Xiao Ruxun burst into tears.

Li Sheng saw it, and quickly stepped forward to give Xiao Ruxun some comfort.

After finally calming down, Xiao Ruxun pointed at Li Sheng and really didn't know what to say.

"You old killer, I asked you something and you actually prevaricate me like this?"

"Your Majesty, the old slave is really... Really... In fact, Your Majesty, even if His Majesty does not want a woman of this status, no one dares to take it. Just like before, His Majesty gave Yang Yinglong's daughter to General Qi as a concubine. The old slave I heard that General Qi is still keeping that woman at home with food and drink as offerings, and he dare not touch her with a single finger.

People outside are guessing whether His Majesty is testing General Qi's loyalty, that's why he gave this woman to General Qi. General Qi probably thinks so, and is just waiting for His Majesty to ask him for that woman. "

Li Sheng spoke for a long time, and he got the point.

"Li Sheng, you got to the point."

Xiao Ruxun put away her insolent smile and regained her composure: "They are all watching, whether I am testing the loyalty of my subjects, whether I will give them the rewards they want because of their loyal behavior .”

Xiao Ruxun leaned on the back of the dragon chair, picked up the tea bowl, and took a sip.

"A woman can also prove many things. As a superior, the loyalty of subordinates is not easy to obtain, especially a loyal minister who is waiting for food. Rewarding one, rewarding one, can drive the loyalty of a large number of people. What's so good about it? It's not easy to remember the emperor and me, right?"

"Your Majesty said it very well."

Li Sheng said so.

"I don't choose a draft and I don't accept a concubine. I'm afraid it seems unbelievable to many people, right?"

Xiao Ruxun put down the tea bowl and looked at Li Sheng.

Li Sheng smiled.

"Your Majesty is rich all over the world. If you want a woman, you can send all the beauties in the world to your Majesty's palace if you move your mouth. But to be honest, apart from Your Majesty and the former Emperor Xiaozong of Ming Dynasty, there is really no emperor in the world who does not like her." Those who take concubines, even rich folks who have money have to take two concubines!"

"Yeah, I am the emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty. I am the emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty. I am rich in the world and control the world. If I want a woman, tell the people below. They will probably sacrifice it for the fight first." Let’s start a fight because of the woman’s qualifications?”

The corners of Xiao Ruxun's mouth curled up.

"Of course, since His Majesty took the throne, he has never said what he wants. If he really said it, wouldn't the people below fight for it?"

Li Sheng agreed so much.

"That's right, so if I want a woman, isn't it easy? Why do they need to mobilize an army of [-] to go to the country of Wa to find me a woman?"

Xiao Ruxun picked up Li Rusong's battle report and flipped through it.

Li Sheng tentatively asked: "Then what does His Majesty mean, that you don't want that woman?"

Xiao Ruxun shook his head.

"Yes, why not? If I don't want it, who would dare to want it?"

"Your Majesty, this..."

Li Sheng suddenly didn't understand what the emperor meant.

"Not only the Japanese queen, but also Qi Dayong to send Yang Yinglong's daughter."

Xiao Ruxun put down the battle report in his hand, picked up another report and looked through it.

"What does your majesty mean?"

"Don't you understand? How can this be offering women to me? They are offering one after another red bloody loyalties that are still beating."

Xiao Ruxun pointed at Li Sheng and pointed to her chest: "It doesn't matter what a woman is. The important thing is loyalty. I always think of me when I have any good things, and I know that I have to report any bad things to me. This is loyalty." the most important.

But this loyalty is not unconditional. In this world, apart from parents who pour their hearts and souls into their children and don't ask for anything in return, what else is there that doesn't ask for anything in return?They give me loyalty, and I give them authority and honor, which will drive everyone to give their loyalty to me. "

Li Sheng looked suddenly enlightened.

"So His Majesty thinks this way? Then Yang Yinglong's daughter, His Majesty also thinks this way? Is it really to test General Qi's loyalty?"

"That's not true. At first, I really didn't intend to ask for it."

Xiao Ruxun smiled and shook his head, leaned closer to Li Sheng and pointed at his head: "But at this point, the government and the public think so, Qi Dayong and Li Rusong think so too, if I don't do this, I won't let them think so." I really think so, wouldn't it be possible for them to see through my thoughts?"

Li Sheng was stunned, with a look of incomprehension on his face.

Xiao Ruxun lowered his throat.

"Emperor, how can I let my courtiers know what I really think? Just stop at this step, let them think that's what I think, and that's the end of my wisdom. They will think that they have seen through my thoughts , Once you can understand my intentions, you can relax."

Xiao Ruxun said with a smile: "Li Sheng, you know that Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty was smart, but why did Xu Jie usurp power in the end?"

Li Sheng shook his head again and again.

"The former Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houcong, was extremely intelligent and far-reaching in wisdom. He was only eighteen years old and overthrew Yang Tinghe, a veteran of the three dynasties. , but in the end, he was still seen through.

Then, he was played like a monkey, lying on the bed, not leaving the palace, and spent his old age like a corpse. A bloody head is worthless, is this still called the emperor?You said, why was he seen through? "

"Old slave... I don't know."

Li Sheng lowered his head, he really didn't know.

"It's because he is so smart that the courtiers are so terrified that they have to collectively improve their wisdom to fight against him. He is alone, and the ministers are endless, from generation to generation, and he has an absolute advantage in number. Ten years have passed, no matter how evil Zhu Houcong is, he can't escape the decades of research and countermeasures by the officials."

Li Sheng seemed to understand something.

"Your Majesty is saying..."

"Sometimes the emperor has to play dumb."

Xiao Ruxun pointed to his own head: "We want the ministers to feel that the emperor's head can think of these things and can't think of other things. They feel safe and won't continue to study the emperor. They feel that they have seen through the emperor. , Let them feel that they have a plan in mind, and that's enough.

I'm not that smart, if this happens a few more times, I'll show them through, I don't think I'm smarter than Zhu Houcong, so since I can't be smarter than him, I can only let my courtiers Stupider than his courtiers, in this way, I am safe. "

Li Sheng finally understood what the emperor meant.

"Your Majesty is wise, this old slave bows down."

He took a deep breath and bowed to the emperor.

"No, no, it's not a big deal. This is the stupid emperor's way of protecting himself. After all, I'm alone. I'm afraid of facing a group of wolves and tigers. In the end, I'm not a smart person. I’m still pretty self-aware.”

Xiao Ruxun smiled and waved his hands, then leaned back on the chair: "Li Sheng, let's draft an order, two orders, one for Li Rusong, let him send me the queen of Japan and those royal women dressed up beautifully." , I’m missing a hair, but he’s asking, by the way, by the way, send the Japanese king as well.”

Li Sheng nodded immediately: "Yes!"

"There is another one, for Qi Dayong, tell him to send Yang Yinglong's daughter to the palace, and then tell him that I am very satisfied with him, very satisfied, he has lived up to my expectations of him."

"Old slave obeys!"

Li Sheng immediately ordered to go down, and someone quickly drafted an order.
