Chapter 316 Liu Ruyan's Resentment

After carefully listening to Chu Anping's advice, Chu Fan also felt that it was necessary to let the six ministers know about certain things. However, Chu Fan did not agree to reveal all the details to the six ministers without reservation.

He knew very well that in certain situations, if too many people were given too many secrets, it would increase unpredictable variables, which might lead to the spread of unnecessary emotions and even cause political turmoil.

After weighing the pros and cons, Chu Fan believed that revealing too much information to the six ministers might cause them to distort their judgment of the situation and make some decisions that would be detrimental to the country's stability and development.

Chu Fan pondered for a moment and then slowly said, "We shouldn't reveal the specific news directly to the ministers of the court. Instead, we should reveal to them some rumors about a series of military operations that Wei State will be carrying out in the future.

This way, although they won't know all the details, they will at least be prepared. This approach can not only avoid causing unnecessary panic or excitement, but also allow ministers to make appropriate preparations in advance to deal with various possible situations."

Chu Fan thought that in many cases, the more information people have, the more likely their plans will have loopholes. This is because everyone has their own thoughts and opinions, and even those who show absolute loyalty will inevitably have moments of self-determination.

Not to mention the ministers in the court, whose thoughts and loyalty may not be as firm as they appear. Once they learn of Wei's plan, they may become disloyal and even leak confidential information, which will undoubtedly bring greater hidden dangers and risks to the country.

Therefore, Chu Fan believed that appropriate confidentiality measures were necessary to ensure that the interests of the country were not harmed. Of course, there was also the fact that if someone leaked the plan, the Xiongnu and the Gan Kingdom would definitely be on guard, and then it would be uncertain whether the royal elders would agree with his expedition plan.

Chu Fan Anping asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, how should our Royal Government Affairs Office respond to the ministers of the court?"

Chu Fan calmly replied, "Actually, we don't need to make any specific responses. All we need is for you, the Royal Government Affairs Office, to come up with a resounding slogan. This slogan must be inspiring and reflect our confidence and determination for the future of our country."

Chu Anping did not respond immediately, but waited patiently for Chu Fan to elaborate on the specific slogan he had in mind.

Chu Fan slowly stood up from his seat, looking into the distance, and said in a firm tone: "That is to store up food and slowly become king; shed more tears in peacetime and less blood in war. Make more weapons and train more.

Let our people expand their grain cultivation areas, and let our soldiers diligently practice martial arts to improve their combat capabilities. At the same time, order the blacksmiths of Wei and the craftsmen of the Ministry of Works to intensify the forging of sophisticated weapons to improve the combat capabilities of our army.

This will not only allow the court officials to feel the tense atmosphere of national preparations for war, but also prevent the disclosure of our core military secrets. It will also inspire the people's patriotic enthusiasm and form a powerful force of universal military service."

After listening to Chu Fan's words, Chu Anping nodded in agreement and praised him, "Your Majesty is truly far-sighted. This slogan not only clearly expresses Wei's resolve to launch military action, but also stabilizes the people and boosts morale. It also allows the court officials to prepare, ensuring that all preparations can proceed in an orderly manner. This is truly a wise move that achieves multiple goals at once."

In fact, Chu Fan did not reveal all his considerations. One of them was that if the ministers in the court knew too much information, then once this information was leaked to the general public, then in some cases the people's wishes might put pressure on or even coerce the court's decision-making.

Chu Fan knew very well that people's emotions could be easily incited. Once they learned certain sensitive information, it might cause social instability and even pose a threat to national security.

For example, on today's Blue Planet, suppose we plan to launch an attack on a certain Eastern country in a year. Imagine if the people learned of this news, would they still remain calm and wait a year? The answer is obviously no.

Too many soldiers in the military are eager to achieve meritorious service. Once they learn they are about to attack an enemy nation, they become overly enthusiastic and eager to join the battle. This situation not only disrupts the nation's overall strategic deployment, but can also lead to the defeat of the entire war due to underestimation of the enemy and reckless advances.

Therefore, appropriate confidentiality measures can not only maintain the stability of the army, but also ensure the secrecy and suddenness of actions, thereby increasing the probability of winning battles against the enemy.

Once the public is incited, the consequences will be unpredictable. With this in mind, Chu Fan did not intend to reveal the specific details of the plan prematurely, so as not to cause unnecessary social unrest and public anxiety. Maintaining a certain degree of secrecy can effectively prevent public overreaction, thereby creating favorable conditions for national stability and development.

Of course, the reason Chu Fan asked the elders of the royal family to inform the members of the royal family of the specific news was because almost all members of the current royal family were warriors. There was a natural barrier and generation gap between warriors and ordinary people, and this difference made communication between them very difficult.

In addition, members of the royal family are strictly bound by the elders of the clan. These elders have strict rules and restrictions on the behavior of members to ensure that they will not easily leak any confidential information.

Furthermore, even if ordinary members of the imperial family accidentally leaked certain information, it wouldn't cause much of a stir. This was because, in the eyes of ordinary people, the imperial family was already plagued by disputes and conflicts. Unless the information came directly from the emperor, ordinary people wouldn't readily believe it, preferring to view it as just another power struggle within the imperial family.

After receiving Chu Fan's detailed explanation and answer, Chu Anping stood up and left the palace. When Liu Ruyan returned to Chu Fan's side, her face was clearly filled with dissatisfaction and displeasure, as if she was disappointed or dissatisfied with what Chu Fan had asked them to avoid.

You have to know that no matter what, Liu Ruyan had the potential to become the Empress of Canglan. However, she stayed in the Wei Palace and served Chu Fan like an ordinary maid. She was not allowed to hear some confidential information, which made Liu Ruyan feel a little unwilling.
