Chapter 12: Eternal conspiracy, two peaches kill three people

 Jiang Ling really didn’t expect that Xu Shouyun could even guess this.

Not only that, Xu Shouyun even guessed his inner thoughts.

Indeed, the reason why I was so angry in the court today was not because someone stopped me, but because of the officials who had supported me in the past.

Uncharacteristically, he agreed to change rice into mulberry.

This is what makes her the most angry.

"How did you guess that?"

Jiang Ling looked at Xu Shouyun without any expression.

But when he heard this, Xu Shouyun knew that he had guessed correctly.

"Sir, there is no need to guess."

"Generally speaking, there will be two situations in any force. One is centralized, with the leader taking the lead and speaking out."

"The second type is decentralization. The person in charge is not one person, but several people."

"The imperial power of the Wei Dynasty is now weak, so it is a system of decentralization."

"The decentralization system consists of three factions, one is the radical faction that holds great power, the other is the conservative faction that is second only to the other party, and the third is the neutral faction that does not want to cause trouble."

"The art of emperors is about checks and balances, but now it is difficult for emperors to check and balance, so it is easy for one family to dominate."

"Officials who advocate converting rice to mulberry have huge interests, and I don't know how much they have planned behind the scenes. If converting rice to mulberry becomes an empty talk, they will suffer heavy losses."

"The conservatives strongly opposed the change of rice to mulberry when it came out. But after discovering that the emperor did not adopt their suggestions, they chose to remain silent."

"No matter how conservative people are, they cannot be indifferent to interests. Even if they are indifferent, will the forces behind them choose to watch?"

Xu Shouyun analyzed carefully and had to say that he was a history teacher. When he was in school, he often liked to tell stories to his students.

Therefore, during the explanation process, Xu Shouyun is often relatively straightforward, but the effect is to the point.

After hearing this, Jiang Ling suddenly realized something.

"You mean to say that those conservatives are also involved in interests, so they are forced to choose to implement the conversion of rice into mulberry?"

Jiang Ling asked rhetorically.

"No."

Xu Shouyun shook his head. Under the moonlight, his eyes were particularly serious.

"The biggest purpose of the conservatives is to bring down the radicals. This is a partisan dispute. No matter how great the interests are, they will be indifferent."

"No matter how great the policy benefits are, it is not as cost-effective as overthrowing the enemy. They have already made detailed plans for converting rice into mulberry."

"Prevent the success of converting rice into mulberry, and let this matter become a source of disaster, so as to destroy the enemy in the court and achieve your own goals."

"So when the emperor planned to shelve the conversion of rice to mulberry, they naturally would not agree. After all, they had done so many things, bought a lot of land, and won over countless people."

"They are just waiting for this incident to break out, and then take the opportunity to bring down their political opponents. In this case, are they willing to give up this opportunity?"

When he said this, Xu Shouyun had already made it very obvious.

Inside Tianxiang Courtyard.

Jiang Ling was a little silent. She originally thought that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty did this just to make money, but she didn't expect that there was such a connotation in it.

At this moment, Jiang Ling's heart was not filled with anger, but with desolation.

The Wei Dynasty had a six-hundred-year foundation, but the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty ignored the safety of the country and the suffering of the people and made money wantonly. How could this not make her heartbroken?

"But I see that Your Majesty is determined to put aside the change from rice to mulberry."

"Even if the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty don't agree, what can we do?"

Jiang Ling continued to speak out, insisting on her own point of view just now, that she was the emperor of the Wei Dynasty, but she didn't believe it. Could it be that the emperor's orders could not suppress these ministers.

After hearing this, Xu Shouyun finally understood why the Chu Dynasty sent a new person to be an undercover agent.

The adult in front of me is extremely beautiful, but his brain is a bit awkward.

But there was nothing he could do. He had to rely on the adult in front of him. Xu Shouyun spoke at that moment.

"Sir, if the court is regarded as a game, the emperor is the one who sets the rules of the game, and everyone must play around the rules of the game."

"As an emperor, he naturally has the power to ignore the rules, but the premise is that the emperor must be in power."

"Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, the country is facing internal and external troubles, and it still needs the assistance of these ministers."

"I can guarantee that as long as the Empress of Wei dares to forcibly shelve the matter of converting rice into mulberry at court tomorrow morning, someone will take the lead in resigning and going home."

"If we don't get it right, half of the civil and military personnel of the entire dynasty will have to resign on the spot and return to their hometowns."

"If the emperor is more grumpy and agrees directly, the trouble will be even greater. The six ministries are in charge of all matters of the country."

"The cabinet plays a key decision-making role. It is impossible for His Majesty to do everything personally, right?"

"If this is really the case, there is a mountain of memorials, and I can't finish them even if I don't sleep for twelve hours a day."

"When I turn around, I have to shamelessly beg these people to come back, and if I beg them to come back, they will definitely have to impose new conditions. By then, it won't just be about changing rice into mulberry."

"Maybe there are other bugs."

Xu Shouyun spoke very casually, but this is the fact. You are the emperor and you make the rules. Everyone gives you face and plays with you within the rules and system.

But one day you don’t do things according to the rules. If you are strong, I will tolerate it. If you are not strong, I will not play with you anymore.

It depends on how you play alone.

Jiang Ling listened to these words carefully. Although she sounded angry, she could feel that there was nothing wrong with what Xu Shouyun said.

At this moment, Jiang Ling was really curious as to why Xu Shouyun, at such an age, could see so clearly into the court battle?

The Chu Dynasty has such great talents, why are they kept unused and sent as undercover agents? Is the Chu Dynasty really full of talents?

"Is there any way to solve it?"

Jiang Ling subconsciously spoke, but as soon as her words fell, she felt a little regretful.

He is also an undercover agent on the surface. It stands to reason that he should be happy when he knows that the Wei Dynasty is in crisis. How can he still ask for a solution?

Indeed, when Xu Shouyun heard this, he couldn't help but have doubts in his eyes.

This statement is wrong.

Sensing Xu Shouyun's flash of doubt, Jiang Ling immediately spoke.

"Don't doubt."

"As you just said, everyone has their own position and interests."

"The struggle in the court has nothing to do with us. The more fierce they fight, the more we can reap the benefits."

"It's just that no matter how much trouble this incident continues, it won't cause the Wei Dynasty much loss."

"So my idea is very simple. Your Majesty is worried about this matter. I will take this opportunity to offer you some advice."

"On the one hand, we can gain His Majesty's trust, and on the other hand, we can suppress the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. After all, no matter how greedy they are, they are still ministers of the Wei Dynasty and our enemies."

"Of course, the most important thing is that after I take power, I can quickly promote your status. One day, you and I will be completely in power."

"Just do something and you can make the Wei Dynasty fall apart."

Jiang Ling's mind was running very fast, and she found an excuse in no time.

And the rhetoric is seamless.

After Xu Shouyun heard this, he was amazed. It was really like this. Instead of sneaking around and causing destruction behind the scenes, he just sat back and watched the Wei Dynasty be destroyed.

Why not take the initiative yourself?

"Your Majesty is really smart, and I am convinced by you."

Xu Shouyun flattered him, but the latter didn't seem to be impressed, but asked directly.

"Is there any way to resolve it?"

she asked.

"Yes."

"And it's an unbreakable conspiracy."

"This plan is to kill three soldiers with two peaches."
