"Your behavior in front of the emperor is too high-spirited."
What happened during the meeting between Fusu and Ying Zheng was basically known to Han Fei even if Fusu didn't tell him.
Objectively speaking, if Fusu had not fought against Ying Zheng, the latter might not have acted so darkly.
Ying Zheng is a master who accepts softness but not hardness.
Maybe he was happy to see Fusu, who had always been 'cowardly', act tougher, but that would definitely not include being so tough in front of his father and emperor.
What's more, the toughness shown by Fusu this time may not necessarily mean that he is really tough in the eyes of Ying Zheng.
In his opinion, Fusu might be more like being deceived without knowing it, and even helping the other person count the money.
No matter what the situation is, Ying Zheng's reaction is nothing more than angry or even more angry.
All undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire.
"Your Highness, you may have your own persistence, your own grievances, and your own ideas that you want to explain, but to the emperor, it doesn't matter what others say or even do. What matters is only what he thinks."
"Anyone he doesn't doubt is an undoubted loyal minister; anyone he doubts, no matter how sincere, is an insect who is disloyal to the empire."
"Whenever the emperor makes a judgment, Your Highness, you should and can only follow his wishes."
After Fusu was silent for a moment, he replied in a low tone, "I understand what you mean, sir, but I can't just pass the responsibility on to others."
"The teacher told me that whoever has greater power will bear greater responsibility."
"I am the most powerful person in the entire North, so I naturally have to bear the responsibility."
Theoretically speaking, Fusu was just a supervisor, and the only one he could control was Meng Tian.
The chief executives of the counties in the North could just pretend that he didn't exist - Fusu before being demoted would still have certain jurisdiction.
But in fact, all of Fusu's ideas can be implemented unimpeded in Beidi - rebellion, which violates taboos, may be more troublesome.
On the one hand, this is because of Liusha's infiltration and control over all aspects of the North, and on the other hand, it is because of Prince Fusu's identity.
Although Fusu's possibility of inheriting the throne was basically eliminated after he was completely exiled, for local officials, choosing sides had little to do with them.
That is the 'privilege' of senior officials in the central court.
Whether to follow the dragon or not has nothing to do with local officials like them. Naturally, no one dares to confront a prince - it is said that the position of crown prince is impossible, but who can say for sure?
Anyway, the emperor still has not established a heir apparent, and has not even shown that he has such an idea.
As a prince, Fusu actually governed the Northland for several years.
This time it was also sent to the North. Who can say for sure what the emperor had in mind?
Maybe you can't get the throne, but what if you can get a feudal state?
The empire did not follow the Zhou rites in enfeoffment, but in the final analysis, this matter was just a matter of the emperor's words.
As long as the emperor does not formally establish a heir apparent, Fusu will always be the brightest sun in the north.
Han Fei smiled when he heard this, "Your Highness is right, but Gu Xun's words are very emotional."
The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. There is nothing wrong with this. Power and responsibility are integrated.
But this is an ideal state.
The reality is that you can think so, but others may not be willing to do so.
As the emperor, Ying Zheng always admitted that his power was unlimited, but he would not say that his responsibilities were also unlimited.
The power belongs to the emperor, and the responsibilities belong to others.
You think something is wrong?
Of course you can think so, and the emperor allows you to think so, but you can't say it, let alone do it.
Fusu smiled bitterly, not knowing how to answer this.
Han Fei was trying to teach him a lesson, but his words were actually beneficial to him.
Because he is the one in power.
Fusu knew very well that he seemed to have no control over Quicksand, but in fact, he had the greatest power.
Although the nominal leader of Liusha is Gu Xun and the one who does the actual work is Han Fei, if Fusu wants to give an order, everyone has to listen to him... or in other words, they will all listen to him.
Of course, Fusu's power fundamentally comes from Gu Xun - Gu Xun will ensure that everyone is honest and obedient.
According to conventional logic, it is Gu Xun who holds the power, and Fusu is closer to a puppet.
But it is true that Gu Xun never interfered with or influenced Fusu's will.
So a more accurate statement is - Fusu is like a lord who does not directly control military power, while Gu Xun is like a loyal general who has military power. The lord's will is demonstrated through the general's military power.
Han Fei laughed when he saw this and continued, "There are many people who have taught you, including me,...Senior Brother Fu Nian, you have also come into contact with Taoist seniors. In the past few years, you even studied with Chen Ping, Cao Shen and others.
time."
"But the one who has the greatest influence on you is Gu Xun, who is the only one in name only, but has taught almost no knowledge other than martial arts."
"You have learned a lot of good things from him, but not the bad things - this is not a compliment to you."
"It might be more suitable if you could learn from his bad qualities."
If this could be considered as "blackballing" Gu Xun, Fusu couldn't continue, and could only show an awkward but polite smile.
Seeing him like this, Han Fei stopped arranging Gu Xun and talked about Chen Ping instead:
"You should study with Chen Ping again when you have time."
"Which aspect?" Fusu asked curiously.
"Learn from his wilting and destructive energy." Han Fei replied with a grin.
"Uh..." Fusu choked up again. After laughing a few times, he said, "Mr. Chen Ping is a very nice person."
"That's right." Han Fei nodded with a smile, "If you could tell that he was bad, I wouldn't say he was 'wilt, bad or bad'."
"That guy looks decent and talks decently, but if the bad water in his head is poured out, it will fill a large lake."
"Is there...?" Fusu didn't understand why Han Fei said this to Chen Ping.
When Han Fei saw this, he gave him an example, "Zhao Gao had previously deployed a large number of traps and killers in the North to track the movements of Liusha. Due to the pressure from the emperor's presence in the North, neither the traps nor Liusha dared to kill them.
But Luowang still lost more than 200 killers in more than two months."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "How did you do this?" Fusu really didn't know that Luo Wang had suffered a loss before.
"It's not easy to do anything in quicksand, but other forces can." Han Fei explained, "Chen Ping laid a lot of traps for the nets who were eager to pursue them, and caused them a lot of trouble."
"Is it that simple?" Fusu felt a little untrue.
When it comes to conspiracies, Luo Wang can be considered a good player, and Zhao Gaogeng is an out-and-out scheming old man. Can misdirection and traps really bring him such big losses?
"If you had personally experienced Chen Ping's dirty tricks, you would definitely not say that." Han Fei shrugged, "Zhao Gao is indeed capable, but after all, he has something to ask for, and if he wants something, he cannot completely ignore Chen Ping's arrangements.
trap, and then step into a trap."
"The key is that he could only break his teeth and swallow this depression. Chen Ping didn't give him any reason to have an attack."
In fact, the force that Chen Ping used the most was Black Ice Platform.
The existence of the Black Ice Platform is a top secret to Liusha, and the same is true to Luowang.
Without Luo Wang's knowledge, frictions broke out between the two sides many times.
Just in Hei Bingtai's hands, at least a hundred people were caught in the snare.
Luo Wang didn't know who was responsible for them, so he could only blame Liusha, but there was no evidence that really pointed to Liusha, so in the end he could only suffer the consequences.
Heibingtai knew that they were being used as a weapon by Liusha, but they had no evidence to point the truth to Liusha, so they could only swallow their anger.
Of course, Black Ice Platform can communicate with Luo Wang to resolve misunderstandings, thereby reducing losses caused by unwarranted internal conflicts.
But... they are 'shadows' that do not exist in reality and should not be explicitly exposed to anyone.
Even if they are on the same side as Luo Zhan for the time being, they cannot take the initiative to expose themselves to Luo's net, otherwise the emperor will definitely make them miserable.
Unable to file a complaint, and unable to vent their anger, they could only reluctantly let Liusha use him as a tool to kill people.
The main reason is that they did not suffer any losses in the process, but they were delayed a little by the snare. The biggest loss was caused by the snare.
But whether the people in the trap die or not is none of their business in Heibingtai!
The death of one killer is a number, and the death of ten thousand is also a number. They don't care about Zhao Gao's leisure.
"Uh..." After hearing these contents, Fusu showed a rather complicated smile, but considering that Chen Ping was also working for Liusha, he still kindly said a word for Chen Ping, "Luo Wang is our mortal enemy.
, it’s normal for Mr. Chen Ping to be a bit shady, understandable, understandable.”
Han Fei smiled again when he heard this, and added without saltiness, "Before Chen Ping returned to the Central Plains, he made some 'trivial' suggestions to all the political forces of the Yuezhi Kingdom in various ways."
"I think the current domestic situation in the Yuezhi Kingdom has turned into a mess."
"Ah!?" This news really confused Fusu, "No, what is he doing to trick people from the Yue clan?"
"To catch the wolves." Han Fei replied with a chuckle while making his move.
Then he further explained, "Although Meng Tian severely damaged the wolf army, the main elite of Maodun headquarters did not suffer a devastating blow, and they still have the ability to continue to spy on the Central Plains and wait for opportunistic actions."
"If the situation in the empire remains stable, the wolves' surveillance will naturally be meaningless."
"But the reality is that it is clear that the empire cannot continue to be peaceful."
"Once the situation in the Central Plains becomes completely chaotic, Mao Dun may take advantage of it - and then the quicksand in the North will be the first to bear the brunt."
"Being attacked from both sides is very detrimental to us."
"So we have to give Mao Dun a more worthy target so that he will not consider attacking the Central Plains again for the time being."
"So... Yuezhi Kingdom is the 'target'?" Fusu understood now.
Han Fei nodded, "Of course... although the wolf clan is still entangled with Donghu, according to our estimation, Donghu may not be able to hold on for too long."
"We need to buy ourselves at least three years, or even more time. One Donghu is definitely not enough, and the Yuezhi Kingdom will be enough."
"But... there's no need to cause chaos to the Yuezhi Kingdom, right? Wouldn't that shorten the time they have to delay the wolves?" Fusu still didn't understand something.
"I said..." Han Fei replied with a subtle smile, "We want to provide the wolf clan with a target more worthy of killing than the Central Plains."
"Through our full support, the small ruler of the Yuezhi Kingdom not only temporarily stabilized the domestic situation, but also obtained an elite corps."
"Although their court situation and military strength are only relatively good, it is indeed enough to cause some trouble for the wolf clan."
"In order to ensure that after the situation in the Central Plains changes, the Wolf Clan will not temporarily give up on the goal of the Yuezhi Kingdom, we must weaken it to a certain extent to ensure that it is convenient enough for the Wolf Clan to 'entry'."
Fusu nodded, finally understanding, and immediately showed a slightly embarrassed look, "This is a bit... not very moral?"
Han Fei took a sip of tea leisurely and said, "For an individual, things like benevolence, justice and morality are indispensable, otherwise it would be difficult to call him a human being."
"But for a collective existence such as an organization, a force, or a political power, individual rules do not apply."
"In other words, we have to try our best to be good people, but in quicksand, we just need to maintain a certain limit."
"Although Chen Ping disrupted the newly stabilized situation within the Yuezhi Kingdom, this situation was stabilized by him alone."
"The damage he does is far outweighed by the help he provides."
"As for the soldiers Li Zuoche and Sima Shang trained for the Yuezhi Kingdom, Chen Ping did not touch them at all. The materials we provided to the Yuezhi Kingdom have not been taken back."
"In general, I can't say I'm grateful to them, at least I don't owe them anything."
Fusu smiled bitterly and stopped commenting on this.
He is just kind-hearted, not a holy mother. The reason why he raises questions is because Liusha was cooperating with the Yuezhi Kingdom not long ago, but turned around and stabbed others. This kind of operation is a bit difficult to criticize.
If it were to directly target the Yuezhi Kingdom, Fusu would not need any reason.
Just like when the quicksand pitted King Dong Hu, he completely agreed.
A dead Taoist friend should not die a poor Taoist.
Fusu changed the subject and said, "Speaking of the situation in the empire, what do you think Master Han Fei will do next?"
When asked this question, Fusu changed the title of "Master" to Han Fei to show that he was just discussing the issue and did not need to worry about his identity.
Han Fei didn't intend to be secretive at first, but with Fusu's statement, he spoke more straightforwardly:
"To put it bluntly, the reason why the empire can still maintain its most basic stability is almost entirely dependent on your father's personal prestige and political skills."
"But he is like a rope pulling the mountain that is about to collapse from the cliff, dragging the empire from collapse by himself."
"But the mountain that has fallen off the mountain wall will fall completely off the cliff sooner or later. A rope can't change anything - it will break sooner or later, maybe it will be pulled off by the mountain, or maybe it will decay and damage itself."
"It's the same with your father. He's just stuck in the middle and holding on."
At this point, Han Fei smiled and asked a very sensitive and inappropriate question, "How long do you think your father can hold on like this?"
Combined with what Han Fei said just now, his question can be viewed in two ways.
