Forget it, let’s just deal with it as it comes.
Men, you can't say no!
If it really doesn’t work, use your hands to move to the kill line first!
Qin Yuan smiled slightly, very calmly, "My wife, do you think this can stump your husband?"
"My wife, you really don't understand your husband at all."
"How could such a simple question stump me?"
Yan Jiaoran also said calmly: "Then you tell me about it."
"Reduce the power of the feudal lords." Qin Yuan uttered two words lightly.
"Reduce the power of the vassal states?" Yan Jiaoran was shocked and muttered, "How is that possible! If we reduce the power of the vassal states, I'm afraid the vassal states will immediately purge the emperor and raise armies to support the king. How can you reduce the power of the vassal states?"
"Aren't you afraid of causing chaos in the world?"
"It would be fine if the world went into chaos, but don't let foreigners take advantage of you for free. If you do, you will be a sinner for all eternity!"
Qin Yuan hugged Yan Jiaoran again and asked softly, "My lady, where do you think we should start?"
Yan Jiaoran had considered this question for a long time and said without hesitation: "To resist foreign aggression, we must first stabilize the country."
"Whether they are foreigners or vassal kings, they are all external threats to the imperial court."
"We should first stabilize the imperial court, unite the entire court, and then concentrate our efforts on dealing with the vassal kings..."
Yan Jiaoran spoke eloquently, confident of victory.
"No." Qin Yuan shook his head, "Absolutely wrong!"
"What's wrong?" Yan Jiaoran raised her eyebrows.
She considered it carefully for a long time and discussed it with Murong Yanran for a long time before finalizing the strategy.
Now that everyone has denied me, how can I accept it?
Three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang!
"Why don't you tell me what's wrong? What's wrong? Otherwise, I'll just think you're being unreasonable!"
Yan Jiaoran pouted and said angrily.
Qin Yuan subconsciously pinched Ming Zhanxue's face, but Yan Jiaoran immediately opened his hand.
"If you have something to say, say it now! Don't freeze your hands and feet!"
Yan Jiaoran was very angry.
Well, my wife is still angry.
Qin Yuan didn't keep the secret any longer and immediately explained, "Solving the problem of court officials is far more difficult than reducing the power of the feudal lords."
"My lady, think about it, the court is now mostly divided into three factions."
"First, the former officials and the Nine Surnames, headed by the Left Prime Minister Kong Lingda."
"Secondly, the generals in the army, led by Right Prime Minister Yang Yingguang, are from Guanlong."
"Third, the children of humble families who entered the government through the imperial examinations were mostly in the lower third rank and did not have much influence on the overall political situation."
"If she wants to regain control of the situation, she must first deal with the two party leaders, the Left and Right Prime Ministers. But what right does she have to do that?"
"Does she have any soldiers?"
"If it weren't for your husband and I suggesting that Pharmacist Li form the Shen Ce Army, the troops she could directly control would only be over a thousand, not even enough to fill Yang Yingguang's teeth. Why would she want to touch Yang Yingguang?"
"Is she with anyone?"
"The only person I can trust with all my heart is Murong Yanran. If too many officials are dismissed at once, who will fill the vacancies? In this situation, how can we deal with Kong Lingda and others?"
"How can she control the government if she doesn't purge most of the court officials?"
"To think that one can control the government in a short period of time without bloodshed is simply wishful thinking and will definitely lead to a thankless task."
"I doubt this stupid woman is enough for Jia Shixian, Kong Lingda, Yang Yingguang and others to play with."
"Given the current situation and the cards we have, it will take at least three to five years for the court to become united."
Qin Yuan was extremely disdainful and contemptuous of this.
Yan Jiaoran also fell silent.
It was just as Qin Yuan said, she had nothing.
Therefore, she could only take risks and create estrangement and friction between the two sides first, and then let the two sides fight to the death, so that she could take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and gain some benefits.
But this matter is indeed a protracted one. By the time her strength is strong enough, it is unknown whether the two parties can continue to fight as she wishes.
If things go wrong, it will become a three-way confrontation with mutual restraint.
Cleaning up the court is indeed as difficult as this bastard said.
But the problem is that reducing the power of the princes will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the princes. Those princes have been holding back for a long time and may rebel on the spot!
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to reduce the power of the feudal lords.
As for the problem of aristocratic families, the disaster has lasted for hundreds of years. Apart from massacre, there is basically no good way to solve it, so it is impossible to break through here.
Thinking of this, Yan Jiaoran said confidently: "Even if this move is threatening and protracted, we can't just reduce the power of the vassal states!"
"Those princes have been waiting for such a legitimate opportunity for a long time."
"My dear, you are wrong again. Forcing the prince to rebel is not the right method." Qin Yuan couldn't help but pinch his wife's face again and sneered:
"If I were to reduce the power of the feudal lords, with just one imperial edict, I could solve the great problem facing the imperial court!"
"In this case, wouldn't reducing the power of the feudal lords be the quickest and easiest operation?"
"After weakening the feudal lords and resolving external threats, I will slowly build up my own power and slowly play with these ministers in the court who have their own agendas."
"What?" Yan Jiaoran looked doubtful.
"You can reduce the power of the feudal lords with just one imperial edict. What a joke!"
“Who wants to spit out the meat in their mouth?”
"What's more, they are all ambitious people. They have been waiting for you for a long time. If you dare to make a move, they will immediately rebel!"
Qin Yuan smiled and said, "My lady, I have a plan!"
"What plan? If you don't tell me, I won't believe it. I'll just think you're talking nonsense." Yan Jiaoran didn't believe it at all.
