Chapter 2 If the Wei Dynasty changed rice to mulberry, it would be destroyed in five years(1/2)
Xu Shouyun really didn’t expect that the Chu Dynasty would be so powerful and find such a stunning woman as its support.
Fortunately, the emperor of the Wei Dynasty was a woman. If she had been a man, the stunning beauty in front of her would probably be like a sheep in a tiger's mouth.
Feeling Xu Shouyun's gaze, Jiang Ling felt particularly calm, but since she ascended the throne, no one dared to look directly at herself like this.
"Are you the person sent from above?"
The empress' voice sounded, bringing Xu Shouyun back to his senses.
"My subordinate, Xu Shouyun, has met your Excellency!"
Xu Shouyun spoke, then looked left and right, looking at the flattery on the other person's face.
According to the memory in my mind, the coordinator in front of me is a chess piece deployed by the Chu Dynasty for many years.
He held an important position in the palace, but for double insurance, the Chu Dynasty asked him to take over.
In other words, the other party is his immediate boss, and whether he can get away with it in the palace depends entirely on this person.
"Xu Shouyun?"
Jiang Ling nodded, wrote down the name, and spoke immediately.
"What is your current position?"
Jiang Ling asked, she came here just to see what kind of spy the Chu Dynasty sent.
At first glance, except for his handsome appearance, the whole thing looks ordinary.
Of course, no matter what, Jiang Ling knew his purpose and used his tricks to deliver false information.
"Sir, my subordinate is currently a rankless eunuch and is responsible for the cleaning of Wuning Hall."
Xu Shouyun answered, the smile on his face unchanged.
"Okay, you have just entered the palace. Some rules should have been explained to you a long time ago. You will stay in the palace during this period."
"After a while, I will help you arrange your position."
Jiang Ling spoke up.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Shouyun looked happy. Although he was a time traveler, Xu Shouyun happened to be a history teacher in his previous life.
I completely understand how miserable the eunuchs in the ancient palace were without background.
There are concubines at the top to order you, and colleagues at the bottom to bully you.
Anyway, except for the eunuchs who made it through, most of them were miserable, and there were many who died unexpectedly. They had no human rights at all.
So it’s a great thing to have a high official taking care of you.
"Thank you, sir. Please rest assured. After the Wei Dynasty is destroyed, my subordinates will not be ungrateful."
Xu Shouyun smiled and spoke to please the other person.
But after hearing these words, Jiang Ling's heart was filled with coldness, but her face looked calm.
"It's still early for the Kingdom of Wei to be destroyed. You and I won't be able to think about it for a while."
Jiang Ling was very unconvinced. If she hadn't wanted to take advantage of him, she would have ordered Xu Shouyun to be cut into pieces.
Xu Shouyun didn't understand the identity of the other party, he only knew that he wanted to please him, so he laughed out loud.
"That's different, sir. Now the Wei Dynasty is suffering from internal and external troubles, and it is only a matter of time before it is destroyed."
"If the Emperor of Chu hadn't been unwilling to go to war, he could have easily defeated the Wei Dynasty by sending 500,000 cavalry."
"In the final analysis, our Holy Master is too kind."
Xu Shouyun opened his mouth and exaggerated, belittling the Wei Dynasty to the point of being worthless, a typical behavior of a wallflower.
However, as soon as these words came out, the empress Jiang Ling couldn't help but said: "Then tell me how long it will take for the Wei Dynasty to perish?"
Jiang Ling was a little unconvinced.
If others say that she has nothing to say, how dare an undercover spy speak so rhetorically?
What do you really think of yourself?
It's not that Jiang Ling doesn't have a palace. After all, since she ascended the throne, she has faced a lot of discussions and is under great pressure.
Facing Xu Shouyun, who is just a spy, she naturally doesn't care. To put it bluntly, if he really leaked something, wouldn't it be enough to kill him?
She wanted to see what Xu Shouyun could tell him.
"Ah?"
Xu Shouyun was stunned. He was just saying a few nice words to coax his boss. After all, everyone was undercover.
Do you really allow yourself to express some opinions?
Feeling the seriousness of the other party, Xu Shouyun thought about it and figured it out.
I guess my boss wants to test my abilities.
At the moment, Xu Shouyun pondered for a while.
The memory in my mind is not complete, but there is still some information about the Wei Dynasty.
The Wei Dynasty was founded six hundred years ago and occupied the Central Plains. Taizu was a commoner. When the Central Plains was in chaos and various ethnic groups invaded, he turned the tide and founded the Wei Dynasty.
After that, the emperors of the Wei Dynasty worked hard to govern, making the Wei Dynasty rise to prosperity step by step.
Although several emperors who did nothing happened were born along the way, at least the family was strong and nothing happened.
It was not until the last hundred years that the national destiny of the Wei Dynasty was damaged, and several faint emperors appeared one after another.
A man led a million-strong army with the intention of conquering the grassland tribes. However, he listened to the slander, which resulted in the massacre of the million-strong army, seriously damaging the country's foundation, and even being captured and humiliated.
A man who has not been to the court for thirty years, indulges in Taoism and cultivating immortals, builds palaces wantonly, and makes the people miserable.
A carpenter who loved carpentry, was greedy for pleasure, and ignored state affairs, which led to corruption among officials and oppression of the people. Civil uprisings broke out in various places. Fortunately, they were eventually suppressed.
After meeting three strange emperors, the Wei Dynasty finally welcomed a wise king.
He worked hard to govern, worked hard, and reused civil servants to prolong the life of the Wei Dynasty. However, it was a pity that this wise king died in less than five years in power.
The only heir is a daughter.
Then, under circumstances that everyone found incredible, the empress ascended the throne and became the first empress in the 600 years of the Wei Dynasty.
This is the history of the Wei Dynasty.
But the problems faced by the entire Wei Dynasty go beyond this.
After thinking clearly, Xu Shouyun looked at Jiang Ling and smiled.
"Sir, if nothing else, as far as the Wei Dynasty is concerned, it will not survive for twenty years. If Emperor Chu sends troops, it will last about ten years."
Xu Shouyun gave a judgment.
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Ling suddenly sneered in her heart.
Although the Wei Dynasty suffered from internal and external troubles, it was still one of the three great dynasties in the world. It would be difficult for it to fall within fifty years.
And with his diligent governance, he can prolong the life of the Wei Dynasty for more than a hundred years.
Twenty years?
Is this what the Chu Dynasty is all about? Send a person who only knows how to flatter people as an undercover agent?
"Why do you say this?"
Jiang Ling was no longer interested in communicating with the other party, but she still asked casually.
After that, leave.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"The Wei Dynasty has encountered various hardships for six hundred years since its founding. Now it will inevitably encounter an empty treasury and a fiscal deficit."
"People die for wealth and birds die for food."
"The country's demise must be caused by internal problems, and the outside world is just following the trend, so the twenty-year time limit is overestimated by my subordinates."
"And the Wei Dynasty even let a woman become the emperor. Isn't this a joke?"
Xu Shouyun spoke up, but his analysis was not very accurate. After all, how could the rise and fall of a dynasty be described in just a few words?
So I would like to add a nice word.
But it was these kind words that made Jiang Ling unhappy. What she hated most was that someone used this to criticize her for being in power.
As for the content of Xu Shouyun's analysis, it made her even more contemptuous of him. Which dynasty does not have a fiscal deficit?
Does this kind of question need to be said? Who doesn’t know?
Holding back her displeasure, Jiang Ling continued to speak.
"The Wei Dynasty's treasury is indeed empty, but recently the empress and the Ministry of Household Affairs have begun to prepare to promote the conversion of rice into mulberry."
"It can make up for the emptiness of the national treasury, so there is plenty of time for the demise of the Wei Dynasty. Just wait slowly."
"You can list this matter as important information and send it to Emperor Chu."
