Internally, Wang Shichong, who has disappeared for many years, is an unstable factor.Judging from the current investigation results, he does have the will to rebel.Externally, the militaristic Sasanian dynasty is also an unstable factor.If Khuslao II completely defeated Byzantium, there is no guarantee that he would not target the big men in the East.

To solve external problems, joining forces with Byzantium to deal with the Sasanian Dynasty is a solution, but in Liu Ziqiu's eyes, it is not a long-term solution.The Han Dynasty has maintained friendly exchanges with Persia since the founding of the country. If they confronted each other brazenly, it would be obvious that the teacher came from nowhere.Moreover, Byzantium is too far away. In this age of information barriers, how to coordinate each other's actions is a big problem. Cooperating with Byzantium to form a pincer attack on Persia from the east and the west is feasible from a strategic point of view, but from a tactical point of view Talking doesn't work.A loss in either direction can seriously affect morale in the other direction, leading to a global failure.

And Liu Ziqiu has another worry, those people from the Byzantine Empire are not trustworthy masters, for example, the messenger Pegg is full of lies.Once the Byzantine Empire defeated Persia, it was hard to guarantee that they would not expand their ambitions and carry out expeditions to the East.

Therefore, in Liu Ziqiu's view, the most fundamental way to avoid foreign aggression is to make oneself stronger, and always maintain a strong army so that no one dares to invade.Without the backing of a strong military force, there can be no real diplomacy.So Liu Ziqiu wanted to call a group of ministers and sound the alarm for them.

To make yourself strong, in addition to the army, it is also an indispensable aspect for the people to enjoy a rich life.If the people want to be rich, they must first be stable.Liu Ziqiu understands that in any society, thieves are unavoidable and endless, but this is not enough to affect the stability of the entire society. What really needs attention is those attempts to overthrow the Han regime.Such a move is very secretive and may be difficult to discover, but it is extremely harmful.

Now, it is not known whether Wang Shichong will wake up, but even if he wakes up, he will be under the strict surveillance of the court, and Liu Ziqiu will not give him any chance to make a comeback.But the world is so big, there may be Li Shichong and Zhang Shichong, as long as they are given the right soil, they will breed.

Liu Ziqiu is very powerful and is very popular among the people. As long as he stays in Luoyang for one day, the possibility of rebellion is very small, and even if he rebels, the possibility of success is very small.However, if one day Liu Ziqiu goes on a parade, or a hundred years later, some things are uncertain.Throughout Chinese history, many dynasties have gone from prosperity to decline, which seems to be an unbreakable curse.Of course, Liu Ziqiu does not want the Han Dynasty he created to fall into this curse. He educates the army to love and be loyal to their own country, establishes the embryonic form of a parliamentary system, advocates equality before the law, and rings the bell for all civil and military forces today. The alarm bell, so that they always remember to be prepared for danger in times of peace, is for this purpose.

Of course, Liu Ziqiu also knew that it would be difficult to break the curse, but if he worked hard, he would not regret it.He didn't intend to achieve it overnight, but only hoped that through these measures, it would subtly influence people, and maybe one day it would come to fruition.

……

With complicated thoughts, all the civil and military people led the orchids that were rewarded to them, and returned home one after another.These orchids are all beautiful and enchanting, but they are like alarm bells ringing in their ears all the time.Of course, this effect is also different, some people may wake up from now on, some people may have been bewitched by Hu Ji's beauty, but these are beyond Liu Ziqiu's control.

At this time, Liu Ziqiu also left the hall and walked back to the harem.He treats his women equally, and takes turns to sleep in his own bedroom every day, and there is absolutely no such thing as a special favorite.Tonight, he came to Huayun Palace as usual, and saw a person kneeling outside the palace gate from a distance, with blond hair and shawl, it was Wang Yufeng.

Liu Ziqiu couldn't help but took two steps, and asked in a deep voice, "Wang Yufeng, what are you doing?"

Wang Yufeng just lowered her head and said nothing.

Hua Yun sighed, and said: "The concubine has been persuading her for a long time, but she just refuses to get up, saying that she wants to atone for her father." After she finished speaking, she looked up at Liu Ziqiu again, with a hint of resentment in her eyes.

Liu Ziqiu didn't pay attention to Huayun's reaction, but said: "Wang Yufeng, I have already said that Wang Shichong can be spared, so why do you want to atone for it? You should get up quickly and prepare for the talent selection ceremony in a few days. A good family can also make Wang Shichong feel safe when he grows up."

This sentence has actually been made very clear, Liu Ziqiu will not let Wang Shichong out until the day when he is really old.Although it is a bit cruel to do so, kindness has not been in charge since ancient times, and being an emperor is actually the same. A benevolent emperor will always make some ambitious people eager to try.Liu Ziqiu still retains a benevolent heart, but he will not take risks with the Han Dynasty and thousands of people in the world.

But Wang Yufeng refused to get up, and looked at Huayun eagerly.

Hua Yun shook her head and said: "Unexpectedly, this girl is also stubborn. Your Majesty, Yufeng just swore to the sky that she will live in the concubine's palace for the rest of her life, serve the Emperor, and never marry."

Liu Ziqiu put on a straight face and scolded: "Nonsense! How can my edict be a joke?"

Wang Yufeng shuddered, but Hua Yun was not afraid, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, didn't you get a lot of orchids from her father? Just pick a pretty one to be the princess of Jiangdu, isn't it? Not everyone is happy."

Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said, "How would you know that I have already given away those orchids."

Hua Yun was taken aback for a moment, but soon she was filled with joy.That night, she held up the binoculars to watch the performances of those orchids, and they were all graceful and charming.Such a group of women, Liu Ziqiu actually gave them away without even thinking about it, which shows that Liu Ziqiu was not overwhelmed by being the emperor, at least he was not obsessed with female sex.In this way, the sisters will feel at ease, after all, they will all have a day of old age.

However, seeing the pitiful Wang Yufeng in front of her eyes, and thinking of her begging at first, Hua Yun finally couldn't bear it, and said, "Your Majesty, it doesn't matter. Anyway, no one outside has seen Wang Yufeng before, and they don't care about it." Knowing what she looks like, why not choose another orchid in the palace to be the princess of Jiangdu? Presumably those women are very willing." He whispered in Liu Qiu's ear: "Besides, the emperor can also use this It is an opportunity to continue to attack Wang Shichong's remaining party."

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Ziqiu understood the reason.After Princess Jiangdu gets married, she will definitely leave the palace and live alone with a family.Because he had already announced that Princess Jiangdu was Wang Shichong's daughter, no matter what purpose Wang Shichong's followers had, they would definitely try their best to get in touch with Princess Jiangdu.As long as this fake Jiangdu princess can be trusted, he can use his tricks to wipe out Wang Shichong's remaining party.

Thinking of this, Liu Ziqiu pondered and said, "The person selected must be reliable."

Seeing Liu Ziqiu's tone loosen, Hua Yun couldn't help laughing and said, "That's natural, and besides, the emperor can make some fuss about the county horse."

Liu Ziqiu thought for a while and praised: "This idea is good, you can try it."

In the current Han Dynasty, men and women are still in an unequal position after all, even the princess is no exception.In the princess mansion, the master is always the county horse.As long as the county horse is loyal to the court, the situation can be completely controlled.Moreover, it is impossible for the princess to show his face often. If Wang Shichong's accomplices come to him, most of the time they will only come into contact with the county horse.

Only then did Hua Yun wink at Wang Yufeng, and said, "Nizi, hurry up and thank the emperor."

At first she kept Wang Yufeng in the palace for many years, the biggest reason was because Wang Shichong dared to play Xie Muyu's idea.But after all these years, Wang Yufeng worked hard in the palace without complaint, and did not show any dissatisfaction. Hua Yun's little hatred for her had long since dissipated.However, all women are a little bit jealous, and even Hua Yun, a female man, is hard to escape from vulgarity.Wang Yufeng's figure is much better than hers, and she also knows that Liu Ziqiu likes plump women, so she has kept Wang Yufeng's snow until now.

However, Hua Yun is more magnanimous than ordinary women.After Liu Ziqiu met Wang Yufeng, she put aside her jealousy.What's more, when Wang Yufeng begged her hard just now, her words were sincere, and she was willing to lower her figure and be her personal maid for the rest of her life.Hua Yun is not hard-hearted, and at this time, she is already willing to accept Wang Yufeng to stay by her side.

Wang Yufeng didn't know what Huayun and Liu Ziqiu said, but only vaguely heard the words of Junma.However, looking at Hua Yun's appearance, Liu Ziqiu seemed to have agreed to her request.Wang Yufeng struggled in her heart for a while, then stood up, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, slaves and maidservants do not marry."

A smile appeared on the corner of Hua Yun's mouth, and said: "You have to think about it clearly, if you don't marry, the title of Princess Jiangdu will be given to someone else."

Wang Yufeng did not hesitate at all, and blurted out: "If you give up, you will give up, and the slaves will never complain."

Liu Ziqiu nodded, and said: "In that case, you can stay in the palace. I allow you to go out of the palace once a day to visit Wang Shichong in the imperial hospital. However, I will put the ugly words first, even if Wang Shichong wakes up one day, I will I will not let him leave Luoyang either. Of course, I will ensure that he has enough food and clothing."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your success!" This was a complete surprise to Wang Yufeng, and she couldn't help bowing down again.

Liu Ziqiu didn't stop her from kneeling, he waved his hand lightly, and said, "Okay, you can go on your own. The night is short, I still have something to say to my empress."

Hua Yun covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, my concubine is in some inconvenience today, so let her accompany you."
