She is a woman, and her current status is far away from the central government. It is simply impossible for her to interfere in the direction of the political situation.
According to her plan, she had to do one thing first after entering Beijing to change this situation.
But it's not enough.
If we don't want to go down that bloody road, we can't let the three emperors after Emperor Wen ascend the throne.
The former deposed emperor, the spiritual emperor, and the latter deposed emperor.
If she wants to influence the overall situation of the world, she must have strong allies who can intervene in government affairs and stand at the center of the storm.
In fact, Yang Shu didn't quite meet her requirements.
His apparent identity is already noble enough, but he is still forced to hide his true identity.
What this true identity is is simply unimaginable.
She had doubts about whether someone with such a big secret could truly enter the center of power.
Moreover, he is so arrogant that even princes have to avoid his edge. History tells us that such people are often famous for a while, but when the new master comes to the throne, they will be settled by the queen, and the end will be miserable.
She had never read any records about him in later generations, so it was probably like this...
In comparison, Jiang Wenfeng is more in line with her requirements.
A famous official who has been passed down in history, history has proved his character.
Those who were born in the two rankings and were young Jinshi, as long as they had sufficient qualifications, were eligible to enter the Political Hall.
Moreover, through contact, it was confirmed that he has a good character, is not pedantic, and is decisive and willing to take responsibility.
It's a pity that he seems to have no ambition in this regard and only focuses on investigating unjust cases.
Therefore, she could only settle for the next best thing.
Before you win over Jiang Wenfeng, take Yang Shu over first.
There is nothing wrong with Yang Shu. He is young and has a high starting point, has a close relationship with the emperor, and controls the secret agency of the Imperial City Division.
As a person... His personality is a bit complicated and difficult to control, but he has a kind side in his heart and can barely get by...
Fortunately, Yang Shu had no way of knowing what was going on in her mind. Otherwise, knowing that he was doing the next best thing, he would most likely fall out with her...
He fell silent, sat on the futon, and processed what she said.
"In which year was the Qi Dynasty destroyed?"
"Sixty years from now."
"Only sixty years..."
Mingwei said: "In fact, after thirty years, Chaogang has been ruined beyond recognition. The remaining thirty years are just lingering. It is much easier to lose one's fortune than imagined."
"It took just one year for Da Qi to destroy the country, and Southern Chu followed suit. So, is there a third party? Is it Beihu?"
Mingwei said softly: "They are Hu people, but to be more precise, they are the Western Wei Dynasty established by Hu people."
"Western Wei?" Yang Shu frowned, "You mean, the Hu people established a unified court? How is this possible? They are divided into various large and small tribes, and they are constantly attacking each other. Who has the ability to unify?"
Mingwei sighed: "You have to admit that there will always be some unparalleled heroes in this world. They can do what others can't, so they are praised by Qingshi. The Western Wei Dynasty will appear soon. It is the 18th year of Yongjia.
, in another two years, it will appear in the northwest of Northern Qi, causing Northern Qi to fall into a situation where it is attacked from two sides, and will no longer be able to conquer the south and unify the Central Plains."
At this point, she paused: "For those of us in later generations, the Northern Qi Dynasty has never been a unified dynasty. It has never been able to destroy the Southern Chu, and finally died at the hands of the Hu people. In the torrent of history
In the middle, it can only be regarded as a small court divided into one party."
The veins on Yang Shu's forehead throbbed, and he didn't know if he was angry because of her words.
In his eyes, Daqi was so powerful. It was prosperous and wealthy, and its army and horses were strong. The time had not come yet. When the time came, it would be easy to send troops south and unify the Central Plains.
But Mingwei told him that such power could only last for sixty years.
No, it should be said thirty years.
What has happened in these thirty years?
"So, where is the turning point?" He tried his best to suppress his emotions and look for the crux of the problem.
"Seven years later." Mingwei said simply and neatly, "Emperor Wen passed away and was succeeded by a prodigal son."
"Emperor Wen..." he said softly, "Is this his posthumous title?"
"right."
Yang Shu smiled with unknown meaning: "His merits in martial arts are worthy of him."
After saying that, he stood up and said, "Okay, I understand, thank you." Then he walked out.
"Hey!" Mingwei was stunned, "Are you trying to burn bridges by crossing the river?"
After she finished talking about the important things, he didn't say anything and left just like that?
Yang Shu stopped and looked at her playfully: "You said it yourself, I didn't force you."
"..."
He opened the folding fan and fanned it leisurely: "The strength of the two sides is not equal at all. Why do you think that I should follow the principle of fairness? To me, as a helper like you, your strength seems a bit weak!"
Mingwei smiled instead of getting angry: "Okay, once you get out of this door, don't regret it in the future."
In her anger, she smiled particularly sweetly. Yang Shu rolled his eyes a little, paused, and turned back with a smile: "Why are you so serious? I'm just kidding you!"
He sat back on the futon and expressed his sincerity: "Since you are so sincere, I will tell you the truth. I made an oath in front of my grandmother that as long as my surname is Yang, this matter will never be spoken out."
Mingwei looked at him sideways: "No need to discuss?"
"No need to discuss."
Mingwei nodded: "Okay, I won't force you."
Seeing that he was relieved, he immediately said: "But if I can guess it myself..."
Yang Shu smiled: "If you really guess it, tell me whatever you want to know."
"Did you agree?"
"A gentleman's words."
Mingwei didn't answer the next words, but instead questioned: "Are you a gentleman?"
"Hello!"
"I was joking too."
Mingwei stretched out her hand and gave him a high five.
"Does this mean we have reached a preliminary alliance?"
Yang Shu lazily said: "It's too early to talk about an alliance. Although you were joking before, you can't deny that you are not strong enough, right? Putting aside your identity for the moment, in terms of mysticism alone, you can't be called a first-rate mystic now."
This body with meager magical power is her flaw.
Mingwei said, "I'll correct you, I'm a fortune teller, not a magician."
Yang Shu was curious: "What about the fortune teller?"
"Master, you don't rely on magic power. I thought you already knew this very well after passing through Baoling Temple."
Yang Shu still wanted to argue: "If it had been another Xuanshi at that time, it would have been fine!"
Mingwei pulled off the golden hairpin on her head and shook it: "Do you think anyone can see the twelve exquisite locks?"
"..."
"That's fine if you don't believe in my strength." She inserted the gold hairpin back and straightened her sleeves, "I heard that the Xuanshi at Xuandu Temple in the capital are very powerful. Why don't you go and search to see if you can find someone like me.
"
Yang Shu touched his chin and thought for a while: "Okay. If you can't find it, I will admit that you are qualified. If you can't find it..."
"I will listen to you."
Yang Shu nodded with satisfaction: "Keep your word."
