Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 601 600. From the beginning, it was doomed
"grown ups."

When he saw Master Huqiu walking down the mountain road alone, Xue Rulong hurried forward a few steps to greet him, and at the same time looked at the deserted mountain road vigilantly, before saying in a low voice:
"What preparations do you need to make?"

"Need not."

Rejecting Xue Rulong's proposal, she said directly:
"He's nothing to worry about. Let's go~"

With that said, he walked directly towards the carriage.

Nothing to worry about! ?
Xue Rulong was stunned for a moment, but still kept up with puzzlement, and after the adults got into the car, he drove the car away from the place where things were wrong.

After walking for a while, he finally couldn't help asking:
"My lord, my subordinates don't understand why your lord said that Du Fuwei is nothing to worry about?"

"Because he is in Jiangnan."

The woman in the carriage leaned on the cushion, raised the curtains rare, looked at the scenery outside and said:
"If he rises in Hebei, Langya, Northwest, Southwest... no matter where he rises, it will be enough to become a confidant of everyone. But he will not be in Jiangnan. And he is also very clear about this, but he is not ready to accept his fate... ...then deny it."

The woman's tone is indifferent:
"One day, he will bow his head."

"..."

Hearing this, Xue Rulong frowned slowly.

Seemingly puzzled, he asked after thinking about it:
"My lord, my subordinates don't understand why he has won the support of some nobles in the south of the Yangtze River, and his men are strong and strong. Even if Pegasus City and your lord don't support him, but now he and Fu Gong Er are still heroes that cannot be underestimated. Why? Your Excellency is sure that as long as he is in the south of the Yangtze River, it will be impossible for him to accomplish anything?"

"Because he is in Jiangnan."

The woman threw out the answer again.

But... this time, she gave her own explanation:
"Do you know how Du Fuwei can condense such power in a short period of time?"

"Emphasis on love and righteousness, buying people's hearts."

After getting Xue Rulong's answer, the woman asked again:
"How to buy?"

"Well……"

The man driving the car hesitated for a moment, then said:

"Loving soldiers is like a son. Every time the battle ends with his own soldiers, he will personally check their injuries. If the wounds are on their backs, they will be regarded as fleeing and beheaded immediately. And these cronies who are his confidants take the lead, and the morale of the army is naturally high. Sheng three points. What's more, every time he conquers a city, he will distribute the gains to all the soldiers who participated in the battle, and if someone dies in battle, he will be buried with the deceased's property or even his wife and concubine. Life is the same robe, we cannot die together , and will not let him go alone. It can be said that life and death are safe, so those soldiers have never regretted working for him. After a battle, they have become his diehard loyalists."

"good."

Listening to the information from Xue Rulong's mouth, the woman nodded in approval.

But suddenly came a sentence:
"That's where he fails the most."

"...?"

Even if he didn't look back, the woman could feel his doubts.

So he went on to explain:
"As the saying goes, loyalty and filial piety are difficult to have both... He treats the soldiers well, and all the finances are distributed to the soldiers. Where does the food and salary come from?"

"... those Jiangnan gentry who secretly supported him."

"Then have you ever thought about why the Jiangnan gentry supported him?"

Without waiting for the other party to answer, the woman said directly:
"It's just because you are dissatisfied with His Majesty. Where did Your Majesty come from for the three conquests of Korea and the large-scale construction projects in the past few years? They were all taken from the gentry in Jiangnan. And what did he bring to Jiangnan in these years? Except for some official positions, the actual What about benefits? It cannot be said that there is no half of it, but it is not much.

Therefore, the gentry were dissatisfied and told His Majesty through Du Fuwei that if you continue like this, Jiangnan will no longer be your Jiangnan.Therefore, even without Du Fuwei, there would still be Liu Fuwei and Xue Fuwei who would speak out on behalf of the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River. Otherwise, why do you think he still has the money to recruit soldiers after distributing all the war gains to the soldiers?
And will the Jiangnan gentry betray His Majesty?Yes and no.They are just dissatisfied.Dissatisfied with the suppression of the aristocratic family that His Majesty promised back then, and the promise of the rise of the Jiangnan gentry was broken.If His Majesty still fails to fulfill his promise, then the dissatisfaction will turn into a real knife and stab into His Majesty's heart.

Therefore, Du Fuwei was the one who happened to meet.The speed of his rise was supported by the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River.But whether he is good or the Jiangnan gentry, even His Majesty knows that this matter has not reached the point of no return.It is best to be able to negotiate peace, Zhao'an.If you can't agree... then fight.

The gentry in the south of the Yangtze River are betting, and the betting majesty dare not really fight.Du Fuwei was betting that the Jiangnan gentry would not abandon him directly, and His Majesty was also betting that the Jiangnan gentry would not really abandon him.

That's why I told Du Fuwei that he can't become king.Because the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River support him now because they still have talks with His Majesty.And when the talks with His Majesty are settled, or there is nothing to talk about, then what will happen to a wild beast that can only spend money but cannot bring vested benefits, and is not under control at the same time, I don't need to say more?

In other words, from the moment he received the support of the Jiangnan gentry, he no longer had any possibility of being king, and his fate was already doomed.It's just that he can't let it go now.Ridiculous..."

She shook her head sarcastically:

"When the power of the Vajra Dragon Elephant, which is as strong as it is in the Buddhist sect, is practiced, the mind and the Dharma are indispensable. A person who can practice the power of the Vajra Dragon Elephant to the point of reaching the edge of enlightenment should be an eminent monk with a clear mind...but now But he was turned into an obsession by a fact that would never be possible, and he was stuck on his way forward. It's sad, isn't it?"

Breaking apart the pros and cons of all things, crushing them, changing the past is more about inspiring the subordinates to think for themselves, and cultivating unique insights into people and things.

This way, similar to this straightforward explanation, the woman has given Xue Rulong too much.

There are even some suspicions of backfiring.

But she had to.

Because of the time left for her...

Running out.

And Xue Rulong also fell silent after getting the explanation from the adults.

I began to carefully sort out the relationship inside, and began to demonstrate what the adults said from some information, and I was a little distracted for a while.

The woman didn't urge her, she just closed the curtains of the carriage again and closed her eyes.

When she came out this time, it wasn't just about Du Fuwei, there were many things waiting for her to deal with.

She wants to keep the fire... more before... walking into that peaceful death.

Enough to set this country on fire when it is ignited.

Burnt... nothing left.

And by the end of the old year and the beginning of the new year, the embers of the old days will turn into the richest nourishment and nourish this country again...

many years.

At that time, even if she has already slept in the ground, she will sleep incomparably peacefully.
