Xuanyuan Xue could not hide the worry in her heart.
As a close confidant of the empress, Xuanyuan Xue followed this young but talented master step by step to reach the throne today.
She is willing to follow him to the death.
It's not just because of the empress's bloodline and throne, but more importantly, it's the ambition that the empress set when she was young, to make the world clear and wipe out the demons.
When I first talked about this ambition, it made my blood boil.
Even now they have all grown up.
We also know how vast the Four Seas is. It is far from the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it is not just the demons and barbarians. Beyond this, there are two great dynasties that are eyeing it.
We also know that demons and troubles occur all over the world, not only in Qianzhou Prefecture on the Great Wednesday, but also in demonic and savage lands, there are also demons and troubles, but the severity is different.
Maybe they have a very poor life.
They may not be able to realize the lofty ambitions they set when they were young.
But Xuanyuan Xue knew and could feel that his lord did not give up because of this, but instead had high morale!
Therefore, she also raised her fighting spirit and fought to the death. Even if this charge was destined to be a fruitless charge, she was willing to do so. She was even more willing to seek talents from all over the world for the empress to help her.
And Gu Changsheng and Su Rou, the siblings.
He is one of the talents Xuanyuan Xue has found.
Su Rou is fine.
He can only be considered talented, but it is limited to martial arts.
But Gu Changsheng was different.
The talent and knowledge in his mind can be seen in these famous works, especially this one on national-level policy.
To put it bluntly, no matter how jealous Gu Changsheng is, they cannot deny Gu Changsheng's talent.
He is indeed worthy of the name of [National Scholar]!
But Xuanyuan Xue also knew.
The current political situation seems to be extremely calm, but in fact, there are countless turbulences hidden under the calm water.
If Gu Changsheng comes to Beijing with the slogan of launching reforms and eliminating long-standing shortcomings, what awaits him will be all kinds of open and covert attacks. Even if he has the support of the Empress behind him, he may not be able to live in peace.
so.
When the empress asked Xuanyuan Xue to send a message, hinting to the old heavenly official in the Ministry of Rites that Gu Changsheng's policy was not a reform policy, but a policy to advise His Majesty on the way to be a king.
Even Xuanyuan Xue understood the profound meaning of this.
What she was worried about was that just doing this would not resolve the wariness of the civil and military officials in the court towards Gu Changsheng.
Seeing Xuanyuan Xue's anxious look.
The empress couldn't help but smile and joked: "Xuanyuan Qianhu, could it be that you went to Nankang and had some thoughts that you shouldn't have?"
"Isn't it something you should have?"
Xuanyuan Xue was stunned for a moment, and only then did she react when she saw the empress's narrow eyes. Suddenly, Xiafei's cheeks were full of intention to refute.
But the person in front of me is his Majesty.
In the end, she had no choice but to remain silent, but her earlobes were already red from embarrassment.
See Xuanyuan Xue like this.
The empress couldn't help but continue to "tease" her loyal guard sister, and waved her hands.
"Okay, Xue'er, don't worry about this."
The empress said calmly.
"I can understand your thoughts, but your worries are a bit unnecessary."
There was an unconcealable indifference in the empress's eyes.
Not to mention.
She handed over the task of spreading the message to the official of the Ministry of Etiquette, who was always the most tactful and the most knowledgeable among the six departments.
Regarding this new job arranged by the empress.
Even if the Ministry of Rites is not asked to come, it is left to the most enthusiastic Ministry of War.
The final result will still not change!
"The Ministry of Rites is good, and the other five departments and three divisions."
"After noticing my hint, not only will they not confront me, but they will cooperate tacitly!"
"because……"
The empress looked at Xuanyuan Xue and said calmly.
"I protected Gu Changsheng because I didn't want this Great Zhou sword to break prematurely in this unnecessary wind and rain, and the three divisions and six departments agreed with the news that I arranged to go out."
"It's because they also don't want me to set off a wave of reform at this moment!"
What does it mean to reach the same destination through different paths?
This is the same goal through different paths.
To be fair, the empress naturally wanted reform.
Not to mention the other parts of Gu Changsheng's article on national policy, it was about gathering the power of local officials, large and small, and strengthening the power in the hands of her, the empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The empress had read it countless times!
It is this part that wins the Empress’ heart the most!
However, the current Great Zhou Dynasty is not the time for reform, or in other words, the opportunity for reform has not yet arrived!
You can reform if you want, but not now.
The civil and military officials of the Three Divisions and Six Ministries also thought the same way.
certainly.
Sooner or later, the empress will want to initiate reforms, and these officials, who are already considered successful, are naturally unwilling to take risks to carry out any reforms. They will oppose it no matter what.
It's just that the empress can't deal with them yet.
And they didn't dare to really break up with the empress.
Since the empress has given the steps and stated that there will be no reforms at least in the short term, they will naturally take advantage of the situation.
Of course, hello, me, everyone.
"But they won't worry that sooner or later, Gu Xianren will come to Beijing and become His Majesty's reform arm?"
Xuanyuan Xue couldn't help but said.
"At that time, the resistance that will be encountered between reforms that are led by a theory of national policy and reforms that are not supported by national policies are two completely different concepts!"
Xuanyuan Xue has read history books.
Every one of the successful reforms in the history books was basically the result of national policies to clear the way, so that the opponents inside and outside the court could not argue, and they were inherently weaker than the reformers, so they were successful.
"Xue'er, you are thinking too much."
The empress shook her head and smiled.
Things like history books have always been left to the comments of future generations.
None of the ZTE emperors who achieved great success relied on great perseverance and great skill.
For them, the political significance of the theory of national policy is just the icing on the cake.
It didn't have as nearly a decisive effect as Xuanyuan Xue thought.
Besides.
So what if there is?
The words of three people can become a tiger.
"Even if there is no such thing as the step I gave, if they think that the six ministries unanimously agree and the three divisions secretly exert their efforts, even if Gu Xianren's policy is really a policy to initiate reforms and eliminate old shortcomings, they will still be regarded as advice.
policy, unless I publish all the contents of the town’s national policy.
"But policy papers, unlike poems and articles, can be published at will."
Xuanyuan Xue also understood.
However, his eyes were not too relaxed, but his heart became more solemn.
Because only now did she truly realize how terrifying the resistance she and her lord would have to face if they wanted to implement the reform of the country in the future!
