834. Chapter 834 834, the dragon's heart is unpredictable
"Now is not the time for the imperial court to continue fighting. The treasury is empty. Last year, there was a flood in the south and a drought in the north. The disaster-stricken areas are in dire need. The emperor's move not only gained a reputation for kindness, but also made the people respect the emperor more." Luo Rongshang thought.
After a moment, he seemed to be hesitating, and then he added, "But how do we know whether the emperor secretly sent his imperial guards to sneak into those small tribes to hunt down King Anxian and his family?"
Bai Anlan's eyes widened in surprise, "Ouchi bodyguard?"
"Yes, don't forget. The imperial guards in the palace only take orders from the emperor. All tasks are given by the emperor himself and are kept secret from the outside world." Luo Rongshang said, "The general of the National Protector returns.
A few days before the court, my mother happened to meet the leader of the guards in the palace who was about to go out to do something. Isn't the matter that can be dealt with at this time about the traitor? "
The answer that the Emperor sent no one to hunt down King Anxian is readily apparent. Without thinking too much, the obvious answer is that there must be.
"An Lan, you haven't seen through the sky in this capital. Why do you think the General Protecting the Country wants to give away all this merit and keep none of it for himself? In the past, there were tens of thousands of bones withered in total? It was the general who made the meritorious service.
, It was a soldier who died, but the General Protector of the Country took no credit for his own merits. One moment he asked the emperor to reward this man, and the other moment he asked the emperor to reward that young soldier." After all, Luo Rongshang had grown up in the capital since she was a child.
Da, after seeing too many twists and turns in official circles, my analysis is much more thorough than Bai Anlan, who only understands the superficial aspects.
"Why?" Bai Anlan looked confused.
"Among the military generals, the Protector General is already the highest official. The Grand Protector's granddaughter is one of the four concubines in the harem and is deeply favored by the emperor. The Protector General holds a heavy army, and the General's son is also in the military camp.
He is very prestigious." Luo Rongshang sat down on the stone chair next to him and said slowly, "If we continue to reward the Great General Protecting the Country, he must be given a knighthood. Think about it, if the Great General Protecting the Country is granted the title
If you are a noble, plus the granddaughter of one of the four concubines, what will be the result?"
"After the granddaughter of the Protector General has the power to fight against the Queen, she is bound to take some action. As long as the Protector recruits a few more colleagues in the court, pulls the Queen down and allows his granddaughter to take over.
Then all the ministers in the imperial court will definitely side with the general who protects the country, and then there will be another chaos inside and outside the palace." Lu Ziyuan took the words and summed it up in eight words, "The foreign relatives disturb the government, and the great achievements shake the master!"
"Yes! That's what I mean!" Luo Rongshang nodded, "The Protector General is an old man who has been in the officialdom for decades. It is impossible that he does not know the consequences. Therefore, he took away all the merits and protected the country.
The General's Office would rather receive more land rewards than be ennobled. Once he is granted a title, the next person the emperor will be on guard against will definitely be the General's Office that protects the country!"
"It's so profound~Sister Ziyuan, you two are so amazing, you know all these things!" Bai Anlan looked at the two of them with admiration.
Luo Rongshang smiled and said, "What's so great? My mother taught me these things when I was very young. The late emperor was already on guard against King Anxian when he was here, so he transferred King Anxian to Mocheng.
The king was granted a title in the border area, hoping that he would stay away from the capital and have no chance of contact with important officials. Historically, the former emperor was old, the prince was still young, and my mother was still unmarried. The former emperor was worried that my mother would marry a powerful official, which would pose a threat to the prince.
, I wrote an imperial edict to marry my mother to the Luo family, which not only restrained the Luo family, but also prevented my mother from marrying a powerful official."
"How could Her Royal Highness, the princess, marrying a powerful minister pose a threat to the prince?" Bai Anlan was puzzled.
"Didn't Rong Shang say that the prince is old when the prince is still young? If the emperor dies early and the princess marries a powerful minister, it will naturally be detrimental to the prince. The prince will be pulled down and support another prince as a puppet assistant!"
Lu Ziwan said, there have been puppet emperors in Chinese history.
