Their conflict of interest mainly stems from land.
However, if it is not handled properly, it will only increase the burden on the people and make the Daqian Dynasty fall apart faster.
"In my opinion, we can only adopt the middle strategy. Although this middle strategy is simple and crude, it is the most suitable method at present." The empress nodded and said with deep agreement.
This also coincides with her original idea.
"However, how should we implement this strategy?" Gu Qinghan frowned and said with some concern, "Who should we start with first? In my opinion, Prince Ning is the most powerful. If we touch him now, I'm afraid it will be disadvantageous. Once he unites with other princes, we will be in a passive position. It seems that we can only start with those small princes. Most of them have no authority and no prestige in the army. The local army will not obey their orders."
"Stupid! So stupid!" After hearing Gu Qinghan's words, Xu Wuchen said directly and mercilessly.
"Huh?! What does the Imperial Master mean?!" Upon hearing Xu Wuchen's words, a hint of displeasure appeared on Gu Qinghan's calm and unworldly face.
Xu Wuchen waved his hand and said slowly: "If we start with these small vassal kings, then King Ning will have made sufficient preparations, and it will only be more difficult at that time! And since we want to reduce the power of the vassal kings, we must do it thoroughly. If you reduce the power of the vassal kings too lightly, it will not be effective. If you reduce the power of the vassal kings too harshly, they will unite!"
"This..." After hearing Xu Wuchen's words, Gu Qinghan, who was originally a little unconvinced, gradually changed his expression.
Her thoughts just now seemed a bit too stupid.
If they were to reduce the power of the princes too severely, for example, by drastically reducing the royal tribute, it would greatly affect the interests and assets of these princes.
I am afraid that Prince Ning will immediately join forces with other princes to rebel.
And those big princes, especially those who have prestige in the army, or those who have already colluded with local officials and local forces, will inevitably bring great trouble.
"And if you directly reduce the power of Prince Ning, the other princes will not dare to rebel at the first time, and will only watch from the sidelines. After the big fish like Prince Ning are dealt with, the remaining small fish and shrimps will have no way to resist even if they find that the situation is unfavorable, unless they want to die!" Xu Wuchen said lightly, "At that time, just leave them some land and salaries so that they can have enough food and clothing."
"Good! As expected of you, you are the Imperial Master. Your words are indeed quite insightful. They are like a revelation to me, and my mind is suddenly opened!" Hearing Xu Wuchen's words, the empress's cold and aloof face flushed with excitement, and she couldn't help but say anxiously, "I will go and prepare for the reduction of the feudal lords!"
After hearing Xu Wuchen's analysis, the empress instantly confirmed her thoughts.
Obviously, this is the most suitable method for the Daqian Dynasty at present.
Only by reducing the power of the vassal states with lightning speed and catching all the vassal kings like Prince Ning who have the ability to rebel, can we eliminate the trouble forever!
"It is the Imperial Master who has foresight. I was indeed inconsiderate and almost caused trouble for Her Majesty the Empress!" If Gu Qinghan still didn't understand after hearing this, he would be a complete pig.
A hint of admiration could not help but appear in his eyes when he looked at Xu Wuchen.
obviously.
Xu Wuchen's words interrupted her.
Just because this is indeed one of the best methods currently used by the Empress!
If she had used her method just now, it would have very likely brought great disaster to the Daqian Dynasty.
Even if we can win in the end, I am afraid we will suffer heavy losses and the people will suffer.
Xu Wuchen glanced at Gu Qinghan. Looking at the voluptuous and graceful figure of the State Master in front of him, as well as the aura that could charm everyone, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "The State Master is really unfathomable in some aspects. Sometimes I feel that I am out of reach. However, when it comes to governing a country, the State Master is indeed still immature and needs to be strengthened."
"Ah? Imperial Master, you are too kind. I really need to learn a lot from you. Especially, I need to study your strengths more to make up for my weaknesses." Hearing Xu Wuchen's words, Gu Qinghan was slightly startled, then looked at Xu Wuchen very seriously with a hint of admiration between his brows.
Xu Wuchen's words today made Gu Qinghan even more admiring of Xu Wuchen.
Compared to her who is devoted to practicing Taoism.
Obviously, the imperial teacher Xu Wuchen is more reliable than her.
As the national teacher, apart from being responsible for the orthodoxy of Taoism, she is indeed far from being able to govern the country and maintain peace.
"It doesn't matter. There is a long way to go. The Imperial Master will have plenty of opportunities to appreciate my strengths." Xu Wuchen said calmly.
"Yes." Gu Qinghan nodded slightly, but his heartbeat unconsciously quickened.
For some reason, Gu Qinghan felt that Xu Wuchen's words made her feel a little subtle and unable to control her emotions.
Although Xu Wuchen's words seemed flawless, they gave her a feeling that something was not quite right.
As if predicting something.
"Thank you for your help today, Imperial Master. I will arrange the reduction of the feudal lords!" Seeing that the atmosphere between Xu Wuchen and Gu Qinghan was a little unusual, the empress said in a somewhat unfriendly voice, "I just wonder if the hidden chess pieces that the Imperial Master obtained by sacrificing himself to feed the tiger and cutting off his flesh to feed the eagle can be put to use?"
"Ahaha..." Looking at Luo Yaoguang in front of him, who looked unhappy and had a gloomy look between her brows, and was obviously still thinking about this matter, Xu Wuchen smiled far-fetchedly, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I've already made arrangements!"
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Gu Qinghan looked at Xu Wuchen and Luo Yaoguang with some confusion.
"It's nothing. It's just that the Imperial Master went into the tiger's den last night for the state affairs of my Daqian Dynasty." Luo Linan on the side said with a smile.
"Wouldn't it be better to let this poor Taoist take charge of such a dangerous matter?" Gu Qinghan frowned and said somewhat displeasedly, "The Imperial Master is a Confucian disciple and has not yet officially achieved the status of a Confucian sage. How can he risk his life!"
"Ahem... Only I can do this. Who else but me? Imperial Master, there is no need to say more." Xu Wuchen glanced at Gu Qinghan and said calmly, "Since His Majesty has made up his mind, I will take my leave first."
Gu Qinghan went deep into the tiger's den? What a joke!
She herself is a tiger's den!
It is also one of the four ancient mythical beasts, the white tiger and the tiger's den!
It would be better if I did it myself.
If we rely on her, I'm afraid Concubine Yun will help Prince Ning open the door tomorrow and let the Jingnan Army march straight in!
"Emperor Master, have you forgotten what you just told me?" Seeing Xu Wuchen was about to leave, Luo Lin'an raised the corners of his mouth slightly, a smile appeared on his face, and he said with a hint of threat.
"What's the matter?" Upon discovering that there was indeed something wrong with Xu Wuchen and Luo Linan, the empress frowned slightly, with a hint of danger in her eyes.
If Xu Wuchen really dared to attack her sister.
She didn't mind locking Xu Wuchen up in her own imperial chamber.
Anyway, it is enough for a man like this to provide her with entertainment while giving her advice in the emperor's chamber.
"The Ninth Princess said she wanted me to help her with her studies." Seeing that the Ninth Princess wanted to stab him in the back, Xu Wuchen looked at her with a fake smile and said.
In the supermarket, small beaker!
He even wanted to stab me in the back!
If I get the chance, I will write the word "righteous" all over your body to make you righteous!
"Nonsense! The Imperial Preceptor is busy with state affairs every day. How could he have the time to help you with your studies? There are so many teachers, you can choose any one you want?!" Upon hearing this, the empress looked at Luo Linan with some displeasure.
She didn't want Xu Wuchen and Luo Linan to be together day and night.
Otherwise, what if the imperial tutor develops into a royal consort?
What the empress didn't know was.
While Xu Wuchen was busy with state affairs, he also did not forget to take care of the imperial teacher.
"Yes, if Princess Nine has any questions, you can come and ask me. There is no need to trouble the Imperial Master." Gu Qinghan also nodded slightly.
"No, the Imperial Master has already said that my sister should marry me to him!" Upon hearing this, Luo Linan shook his head, hugged Xu Wuchen's waist seriously, and said very seriously.
"what?!"
Hearing Luo Linan’s words.
In an instant, two cold gazes turned towards Xu Wuchen.
There was a strong sense of disgust in his eyes!
It's as if he is spitting on a pervert with no moral bottom line!
72 She is still a child, come to me! 6K
A gloom suddenly appeared on Gu Qinghan's flawless and beautiful face.
The eyes that were originally full of longing and admiration when looking at Xu Wuchen now had a bit of complexity and unwillingness, and at the same time, she looked at the Ninth Princess with a somewhat jealous look.
"Damn it! Could it be that the Imperial Master likes this kind of underdeveloped, skinny little girl? This is too unacceptable..." Gu Qinghan couldn't help but think in his heart.
In terms of charm and appearance, she claims to be as good as any other woman.
But if Xu Wuchen happened to be the kind of person with strange sexual fetishes and somewhat perverted preferences, she seemed to be at a loss!
"Emperor Master, the Ninth Princess seems to be still very young. Your behavior seems a little inappropriate, right?" Gu Qinghan glanced at Xu Wuchen and said with some contempt, "Even if this kind of thing really happened, it seems too bold!"
It’s not like Gu Qinghan had never heard of it.
There are many high-ranking officials in the imperial city, and they all have some strange sexual fetishes.
There are even some who would train those boys and girls in their own houses just to satisfy their strange hobbies.
But most of these people are hiding their true intentions.
After all, face is still important.
This guy Xu Wuchen actually stretched out his evil hand directly to the Ninth Princess!
Even though the Ninth Princess can leave the palace after she reaches the age of 15, that will be after next year!
Xu Wuchen glanced at the Ninth Princess who was hugging his waist like a koala, and a gloomy look flashed across his brows. Then he looked at the two murderous women in front of him and said softly: "Well... I think I can still quibble."
After saying this, Xu Wuchen gently patted the Ninth Princess's head.
This little beaker actually took the opportunity to do something bad to me.
"Hmm... these are what the Imperial Master just said to me. Do you have any questions?" Luo Linan raised his head slightly, blinked his big watery eyes, looked at Xu Wuchen and asked, "Or, the Imperial Master just treated me as a plaything, and those words were just said casually."
After saying this, the girl demonstrated her acting skills perfectly.
A layer of mist soon appeared on the two big watery eyes, and a few drops of clear tears flowed down the girl's face.
Her cherry lips were slightly pursed, and she looked extremely pitiful, like a girl who had been abandoned by a scumbag.
Soon she burst into tears, and looked at Xu Wuchen with eyes full of resentment, as if she was looking at a scum who had ruthlessly toyed with the girl's heart!
"Wow, wow, wow... It turns out that in the eyes of the Imperial Master, I am just a toy that can be toyed with and then ruthlessly abandoned! Imperial Master, you have a really cruel heart!" Before Xu Wuchen could say anything, Luo Linan lay on Xu Wuchen's body and sobbed loudly, crying heartbreakingly and miserably.
The girl's tears mixed with saliva all fell on Xu Wuchen's white shirt.
Xu Wuchen felt a little uncomfortable, but he couldn't just push the girl away.
"No...I did say these words, but there are obviously big problems." Xu Wuchen glanced at Luo Linan in his arms and felt that he had no way to defend himself.
Oh shit!
Isn't this little girl's acting skills a hundred blocks better than those young handsome guys in later generations? !
Acting just like the real thing.
If Xu Wuchen had not been the person involved and knew the whole story, he would have almost thought that he was a scumbag!
Even so, Xu Wuchen still felt a sense of guilt for some unknown reason.
It was as if he had really abandoned an innocent, pure and ignorant girl.
But I am the only one who knows it best and it is impossible to take such words seriously!
Especially the cunning look that flashed from time to time in the girl's eyes in his arms. No matter how you look at it, she looks like a black-bellied girl who directed and acted in her own drama.
And all this was just to avenge the arrow that was shot at him just now!
Seeing his own imperial sister crying bitterly.
The empress standing beside him had a look of disdain and unkindness on her fairy-like face, and she looked at Xu Wuchen with a bit of amusement and dissatisfaction.
So perverted!
It's really immoral!
"Lin'an is still a child. If you have any problem, come to me, Imperial Master!"
I don't know why in Luo Yaoguang's cold and arrogant voice.
Xu Wuchen could faintly hear a hint of anticipation and unwillingness.
It seemed as if she didn't really care about Xu Wuchen's attack on the Ninth Princess.
The point of concern is why she didn't do it to herself.
"As the imperial master of the Daqian Dynasty, I will be the first one to be attacked if something like this happens!" Gu Qinghan, who was standing aside, frowned and said, "Protecting the royal family is my duty and mission!"
After saying this, Gu Qinghan raised his holy peak very proudly.
Through the slit of the Tai Chi robe, you can vaguely see a hint of snow-white.
It makes people yearn for it.
Coupled with the charming smile and temperament on Gu Qinghan's face at this moment, as well as her words.
It was like a succubus, handing out an invitation letter to Xu Wuchen and initiating an application.
"No... The problem now is not the fight between you two. Who should I extend this evil hand to?!" Xu Wuchen glanced at the empress and Gu Qinghan, and said with a headache.
