Liu Ruyan realized that even if she was lucky enough to ascend the throne of the Empress of the Canglan Empire, even if the royal family and court ministers in the Canglan Empire were loyal and reliable, and all tried their best to govern the country and make it prosperous;
But facing a cunning and wise monarch like Wei, an extremely brave and invincible army, and those extremely sharp weapons that can change the situation of the war, Liu Ruyan knows that no matter how hard she tries, it will be difficult to resist the powerful force of Wei.
Although Liu Ruyan was thinking about many things, in reality, time didn't seem to pass much at all. The expression on her face gradually softened, as if she had accepted certain unchangeable facts.
Liu Xueyu witnessed the significant changes in Liu Ruyan and was very pleased. After all, Liu Ruyan would be Chu Fan's woman, like a sister. If there were some issues that Liu Ruyan couldn't figure out, there would definitely be some conflicts in the future.
Seeing that Liu Ruyan had come to her senses, Liu Xueyu smiled and asked, "Miss Liu, do you feel much more relaxed now?"
Liu Ruyan responded with a smile, "Indeed, I was so naive before. Before today, I thought I would lose everything in the Canglan Empire if Chu Fan left me in the Wei Kingdom. I never expected that it was only now that I truly realized that everything in the Canglan Empire actually had little to do with me. On the contrary, I gained a lot in the Wei Kingdom."
Liu Xueyu nodded gently and said to Liu Ruyan, "It's good that you can figure it out. This way, your life will be much easier in the future."
Liu Xueyu expressed full understanding of Liu Ruyan's transformation. As a princess of Shu, Liu Xueyu also dreamed of helping her father govern the kingdom. However, she also encountered countless challenges and difficulties along the way. Ultimately, Shu not only failed to improve, but also experienced a power struggle that led to the tragedy of a usurpation of the throne.
However, when Liu Xueyu once again set foot on the land of Wei and became Chu Fan's woman, all the difficulties and obstacles that Shu had experienced seemed insignificant.
In the face of Wei's formidable military might, Shu's internal disputes and power struggles seemed meaningless. Especially after witnessing how his grandfather Cao Mengde taught his father in Shu and how he decisively eliminated a group of disobedient nobles and officials;
Liu Xueyu deeply realized that only with a strong political power and solid military force as support can one truly consolidate his position and ensure national security.
Now that his father was firmly in control of power in Shu, order was gradually being restored, and all the former hostile forces had been eliminated or tamed one by one. He no longer had to think about those annoying struggles.
Liu Xueyu knew in her heart that Liu Ruyan was also a person of extraordinary wisdom. She should be able to understand what she needed to give up, and also be clear about what she desired in the future.
Chu Fan, with a puzzled look on his face, asked Liu Ruyan and Liu Xueyu, "What are you talking about? What do you understand?"
Liu Xueyu replied playfully, "Brother Chu Fan, this is a secret between us sisters, so don't ask."
Liu Ruyan also smiled at this time and said to Chu Fan: "Your Majesty, if you can successfully conquer the Canglan Empire in the future, I earnestly ask you to hand over the management of the Canglan Empire to me. I am confident that I will make the Canglan Empire your strongest backing."
What Liu Ruyan was thinking in her mind was what those people who were fighting for power and trying to pull her down from the center of power would think when she became the ruler of the Canglan Empire in the future.
Liu Ruyan had always used the excuse that she wanted freedom, that she wanted to control her own destiny and no longer be manipulated by others to paralyze herself. She didn't want to be the emperor of the Canglan Empire. Today, she finally faced her true feelings and wanted revenge.
Chu Fan felt that things were becoming increasingly unrealistic. Even the Japanese Kingdom hadn't been completely pacified yet, and they still had to attack the Xiongnu and the Gan Kingdom. Now Liu Ruyan was proposing that the Wei Kingdom attack the Canglan Empire. He couldn't help but wonder if this was a bit too far-fetched.
Chu Fan asked in a slightly puzzled tone, "Miss Liu, you're such a joke. You know, Canglan Empire is your hometown, and you're also a princess of Canglan Empire. How could you possibly want our Wei Kingdom to attack Canglan Empire? But Miss Liu, your smile just now was the most sincere smile I've seen you have in a while."
At this time, Liu Ruyan showed an even deeper appreciation. She thought to herself: Chu Fan originally had the ambition to dominate the entire Shengwu Continent, but Chu Fan would not easily say anything he was not sure of. Even if he wanted to attack Japan, he would first let Japan fall into chaos and then take action.
As for the plan to attack the Xiongnu and the Gan Kingdom, Chu Fan did not make the decision to send troops today like other emperors, and then the army set out in a few days. He did not even prepare the most basic food and collect intelligence.
Another issue was the hasty departure of the soldiers, who didn't even have time to say goodbye to their parents. This undoubtedly put immense psychological pressure on them. In such a rushed situation, how could the soldiers devote themselves wholeheartedly to the battle?
If the recruits have never been to the battlefield, it will be even more difficult for them to exert their due combat effectiveness because they lack practical combat experience and are not mentally prepared enough for the cruelty and danger of the battlefield.
Liu Ruyan said, "Although Your Majesty hasn't made such a decision yet, that doesn't mean he won't make such a decision in the future. I'm saying that if Your Majesty has such ambitions in the future, I hope Your Majesty will consider me your woman and hand over the management of the Canglan Empire to me. I have the confidence and ability to make this empire even more prosperous under my leadership."
Liu Ruyan's words made Chu Fan realize a big problem. Once Wei launched a war and successfully incorporated the territories of the Xiongnu, Gan State and other countries into Wei's territory, how to effectively govern these newly incorporated territories would become an extremely difficult challenge.
He knew very well that if the governance was not done properly, even if the Wei State achieved the unification of the entire Shengwu Continent, it might soon face disintegration, and the wheel of history might reverse again.
