Girl, let me check it out.

Fang Tang held his chin up, his legs dangling in the air.

"Okay."

The girl jumped down from the windowsill, walked to Fang Weihan, squatted down, and looked down at his blue eyes.

"But since you let me call you teacher, you must be teaching me something, right?"

Fang Tang tried to touch his head, but the Ragdoll Cat turned his head away.

"Well, I'll teach you something."

The ragdoll cat jumped onto the table and looked down at the squatting girl.

"for example?"

The princess tilted her head and raised her snow-white pointed chin slightly.

"Like real statecraft."

Fang Weihan uttered these words calmly.

"Isn't this what you care about most?"

Sure enough, Fang Weihan saw the answer he wanted in the girl's expression.

As a princess, Fang Tang is completely different from her sisters.

What she cared about was not rouge and powder, nor royal majesty, but how to govern the country and how to change the current situation of the royal family's decline.

She has never been a law-abiding Princess Taiping, or to be more blunt, she has nothing to do with her title.

Fang Weihan felt that there was fire in her head.

It was a fire that could burn the entire Great Zhou to ashes.

The way Fang Tang is treated by the current people may be related to this matter.

Fang Weihan cannot be sure of this conclusion now, after all, Yun Shu has no records about Emperor Xuan of Zhou and Princess Chengping.

But he felt it was pretty close.

If the empire really fell into Fang Tang's hands, what awaited the world would be a full-scale confrontation between the aristocratic families and imperial power.

By that time, it would be hard to say whether future emperors would still have the surname Fang.

In the imagination of Fang Weihan and Yun Shu, Fang Tang is the one who will return to the future to inherit the throne.

If she still holds on to this idea, it will have a disastrous impact on the development of subsequent plans.

What they wanted was for the imperial power and the aristocratic families to abandon their prejudices and temporarily unite, rather than forcing unification through various bloody means.

The Great Zhou, which was reduced to ashes and full of misery, had no chance of resisting natural disasters.

So he must now change Fang Tang's thinking.

"Strategies for governing the country?"

After the initial loss of consciousness, Fang Tang quickly returned to normal.

"You are a cat, and you know how to run a country? Do you know how to run a sewer?"

She looked at Fang Weihan with some suspicion, her eyes full of distrust.

Puppet: “…”

I feel like I'm being looked down upon.

"First, you should call the teacher."

Ragdoll corrected slowly.

Fang Weihan was not in a hurry. He had plenty of time and could spend enough time here with Fang Tang.

"Then, I am not actually a cat. I just appear here in the form of a cat. Otherwise, the Lingshan Longtan formation around your Yingluan Palace would kill me immediately."

"Oh~"

Fang Tang stretched out his voice and responded as if he had suddenly realized something.

"So, teacher, what is the strategy for governing a country that you are going to teach me?"

She was very curious about what this rather mysterious cat was trying to tell her about the so-called strategy for governing the country.

Her previous husband had told her about the so-called ideas of benevolence, love, courtesy and righteousness countless times, and Fang Tang was almost sick of hearing them.

Those things are not of any help to my current situation, so what's the point of listening to them?

"Don't worry about that."

The ragdoll cat swept its big tail across the table.

"Let me ask you a question first."

The ragdoll cat's deep blue vertical pupils looked into the girl's eyes, like the water of a deep lake.

"What do you think of Emperor Liu Che?"

Fang Tang was stunned.

"Liu Che?"

Because Fang Weihan changed the topic so quickly, Her Royal Highness the Princess didn't react.

"Are you talking about Emperor Wu of Han?"

"Ah."

The ragdoll cat nodded.

“Is he a wise ruler?”

"Of course forget it!"

Fang Tang answered without any hesitation.

"He repelled the Xiongnu in the north and sealed off the Wolf's Lair. He observed the troops in the vast sea and deployed them in the desert. He cut off the banner of the Chanyu and destroyed the head of the Yanshi clan. He explored the cave of Fuli and swept the courts of the five kings. If it weren't for Emperor Wu, how could the prestige of the Han Dynasty spread throughout the world? If this is not considered a wise ruler, then who else can be called a wise ruler?"

It is obvious that Her Royal Highness the Princess has received an extremely good literary education, as she can speak such a long list of words fluently.

He is so much better than himself, a dissolute prince who just eats and waits for death.

As if it had sensed Yun Shu's contemptuous look, the Ragdoll Cat coughed lightly in embarrassment.

"It seems...you seem to admire him very much?"

"Yes."

Fang Tang nodded, his voice couldn't help but become excited.

"The northern barbarians frequently harass our nine borders. If our dynasty can give birth to a figure like Emperor Wu of Han, who can continue the merits of the previous dynasty inscribed on the Yanran Stone, the souls of so many old soldiers will be able to rest in peace."

The ragdoll cat looked sideways at the disappointed and regretful imperial princess, a little absent-minded.

This was completely different from the Fang Tang he usually saw.

In her daily life, she is silent, withdrawn, suppresses her madness, and hides a lot of scheming and calculation.

But when talking about these topics, she was outspoken and confident, just like a crabapple flower blooming warmly in the sun.

Was I the same as her when I was in my prime?

Unfortunately...there's no going back.

The wave of fate never greets you before it comes. Life is as sudden as a car accident.

Always look left and right before crossing a zebra crossing.

The ragdoll cat licked its paw.

It seemed to become very sad in an instant.

"Even if the current Great Zhou had an Emperor Wu of Han, it would not be able to reproduce the glory of the previous dynasty in foreign wars."

It reminded lightly.

"What do you mean?"

Fang Tang frowned.

She raised her head, her eyes as bright as the moon, staring intently at the cat in front of her.

"Emperor Wu of Han ruled the entire Han Dynasty, while the emperor of the Great Zhou ruled half of the Great Zhou."

The voice of the puppet brain is cold and low, like the whisper of a soul.

Fang Tang pursed his lips tightly and remained silent.

She understood what Ragdoll Cat meant.

Guanzhong belongs to the Heavenly Family, and Guandong belongs to the Eight Surnames. This is no joke.

"In order to maintain his rule and appease the powerful families, Emperor Guangwu established a so-called rule that the imperial power does not extend below the county level."

The ragdoll cat sneered.

"But Da Zhou can't even expand to the county level, let alone the entire state."

"Of the nine provinces in the world, the emperor can only control Yongzhou."

"It's a miracle that your father's edict could pass through Hangu Pass. How could a country like this produce an Emperor Wu of Han?"

Fang Weihan's words were quite impolite, and to Fang Tang it was like a slap in the face, making him feel extremely ashamed.

But the girl also knew that he was telling the truth.

As we all know, the Great Zhou had two capitals.

One is the royal capital, Guanzhong Changming.

The other is the family’s capital, Guandong Luojing.

Even with Fang Tang's quick wit, he didn't know how to refute him for a moment.

Fang Tang wanted to say something with some dissatisfaction.

"Can……"

"The power of the aristocratic families can also be overthrown and returned to the imperial power, right?"

Fang Weihan glanced at her and spoke prophetically.

The girl opened her mouth, but no words came out.

In the end, she just scratched her hair in annoyance and glared at the cat angrily.

How does it know what to say?

It definitely can read minds!

"Did you know? This Great Zhou has already produced a Martial Emperor."

Ragdoll Cat sighed.

Fang Tang frowned as he pondered her words, then slowly opened his eyes as if he suddenly remembered something.

"You mean..."

"Well... Fang Qianyi, your ancestor."

The ragdoll cat was sharpening its claws carelessly.

Also my ancestor… he added in his heart.

"Fang Qianyi has hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command, all of whom are veterans of hundreds of battles, including the prototypes of the current Sixteen Guards of the Imperial Guard. The cards in his hand are much stronger than those of Liu Bang who was fighting fiercely under the city of Xingyang."

Ragdoll Cat said this in boredom.

"Do you think that old bastard Fang Qianyi can't think of what you can think of?"

"The court of our Great Zhou is undoubtedly deformed now, and if we want to correct this mistake, the first three years of Kaiwu after he ascended the throne is definitely the best opportunity, no doubt about it."

"Unfortunately... you know what happened later."

Fang Tang lowered his eyes and spoke in a low voice.

"Two hundred and fifty thousand soldiers... perished on the banks of the Yinma River in the wilds of the Northern Desert. The Great Zhou army was completely annihilated in one battle."

It is true that he died in the wilds of the northern desert, but was it really because he fell into the trap of the alien race to lure the enemy deep into their territory?
