Ji Leqian said before that the emperor in front of me did not rely on real power to gain power.

The reason why he was able to take office was because he mediated the dispute between the Third Legion and the Eighth Legion, which attracted everyone's attention. At that time, all forces were in a delicate balance and no one could do anything to anyone. He had no power behind him and had no tendencies, so he was a suitable candidate. In order to avoid internal friction, all parties pushed him to the throne.

Logically speaking, such an emperor should enjoy himself and not care about anything, which is the safest way. However, Lin Zhongsheng said before that the disbandment of the Seventh Legion and the reorganization into the military was the result of the emperor and Wen Xiangwu's conclusion. His initiative to participate in this kind of thing means that he is an emperor who wants to manage things.

However, he, an emperor who has no real power and does not have the support of the clans behind him, cannot be in charge of things just by wanting to do things. He needs supporters, especially supporters of Wen Xiangwu at the level of Wen Xiangwu. If he can get the recognition of Wen Xiangwu, he can get his support and gain real power bit by bit with his help. Only with real power can he manage things.

Now he dares not talk about his opinion in front of Wen Xiangwu, which shows that he is afraid of making mistakes in front of Wen Xiangwu. Once Wen Xiangwu feels that he has no ability and cannot contribute to the country, with his personality, he will definitely withdraw all his support. At that time, everything he has obtained will be gone, and he can only continue to be his empty emperor.

He pushed me out, obviously to block the gun. If I had the ability and said everything I should say, he could say, and I thought the same as him. If I said it wrong, if I was wrong first, even if he said it wrong, it would be hard for Wen Xiangwu to say anything about him.

This guy is really good at calculating.

I don’t know if I didn’t see through the emperor’s plan or wanted me to show it, but Wen Xiangwu chose to let me express my opinion. I thought about it and felt that since Wen Xiangwu brought up the current topic from the test in my answer, it means that the content he emphasized was “test”, that is, the test of the Tuta people on us.

In this matter, we only have two choices, either disagree or agree. If we disagree, we will break up with the Tuta people and abandon our vassal state, and then both sides will inevitably start a war. If we agree, the Tuta people will feel that we are still willing to obey them and relax our vigilance.

The emperor just said that the allies of Turusa were unable to take care of themselves, which means they were unable to support Turusa. At the same time, a rebellion broke out in Turusa and has not yet been quelled. In other words, if we break up with them now, they may not be our opponents.

But the problem is that the enemy of Daxian is not only Turusa, but the Ming Dynasty in the east is also our enemy. Daxian now has twenty-three formal legions, which at first glance are quite large, but most of them are deployed on the Eastern Front and military key areas, used for land defense, and there are not many mobile troops.

Moreover, my country's major transportation routes are controlled by the Tuta people. If you want to carry out large-scale military mobilization, you must ensure the transportation of supplies. In order to successfully send the supplies to the front line, you must first solve these military fortresses. I remember Si Congpo said that the military fortresses established by the Tuta people in Dazai are all permanent fortresses. Since they are permanent fortresses, they cannot be easily compromised.

It takes time to break through the fortresses. Before breaking through these fortresses, we are simply unable to launch an attack on Turusa. If Turusa takes advantage of this time, temporarily put down the rebellion in the country, lead troops eastward, and fight with our army to a decisive battle, with our existing mobile forces, it is basically impossible to defeat them.

If we draw troops from the Eastern Front, the defense force on the Eastern Front will be weakened, and the Ming Dynasty is likely to take the opportunity to fight. Even if it is just a restraining attack, we will fall into an embarrassing situation of fighting on both sides. Once we fall into the battle on both sides, with our current strength, it is impossible to defeat the Tuta people.

I am not destroying my country's morale and promoting the prestige of other countries. Since the Turusa Kingdom took the initiative to test us, it means that they are prepared, and it is likely that they have made preparations with both hands.

If we disagree, they will likely take the initiative first and unite with the Ming Dynasty to fight directly and force us to surrender. Even if we agree, they will not really believe us. They will definitely find ways to weaken us, so that we cannot get rid of our vassal state and continue to be governed by them.

So, what we need to do now is not to think about how to get rid of our identity as a vassal state, but how to crack the Tuta people's strategy - of course, this is just my personal judgment. However, even if Tuta people simply want to test our attitude and make more preparations, it will be of great benefit to our country.

But no matter how much I think about it, I am not a person who likes to show off, and I also know the principle of shooting a first bird with a gun. I have already shown it once just now, and there is no need to show it again, otherwise it will be too sharp and easy to make enemies. So it is better to pretend to be stupid at this time - the most important thing is that I don’t want to be a gun by this emperor.

"This... I... the lower official... the lower official is just a colonel... and the lower official is still young, knows nothing, and has no understanding of the international situation... so the lower official dare not make any guesses..."

While talking, I secretly glanced at Wen Xiangwu - I shouldn't have done this. If I didn't glance and lowered my head and pretended to be embarrassed, he wouldn't see that I was pretending to be stupid. When I glanced at me, he could see that I was guilty.

I was indeed guilty because I had been seen through pretending to be stupid in front of him before. It was because of this that I couldn't help but secretly observe his reaction, but he did it backfire and was discovered by him.

The moment Wen Xiangwu pulled his face down, I knew it was over. I thought I would be yelled at by him, but I didn't expect that he would quickly flatten the corners of his mouth, turn his gaze forward, and sighed softly.

"Your Majesty, can you tell me who is the most hateful person in this world?"

The emperor did not expect that he would suddenly change the subject. He was obviously stunned, but he still pretended to follow Wen Xiangwu's thoughts immediately, and continued seriously: "Please give me advice from Mr. Wen."

"I know there is a tiger in the mountain, and I know someone is going to go up the mountain, but I don't remind me. When the person who went up the mountain was eaten by a tiger, someone asked him, why didn't you remind the man and tell him not to go up the mountain? He explained that he was a foreigner, and even if I said it, he wouldn't believe it. At the same time, he thought to himself, I won't be so popular. If he was not eaten by a tiger, wouldn't it be embarrassing? Besides, what does it have to do with me when he was eaten by a tiger? Your Majesty, do you say, this person is hateful or not?"

The story of Wen Xiangwu made me sweat. The emperor didn't understand what he was saying. Although he pretended to be "I understand", he actually didn't understand because he didn't see that I was pretending to be stupid.

"Hateful, hateful, watching coldly."

And his answer is not accurate. Wen Xiangwu has already made it clear that the man did not tell the person who was going up the mountain there was a tiger on the mountain because he had concerns and thought too much. Although he also had the idea of ​​"that person's life and death has nothing to do with me", this idea came out in the end. If he really didn't care about the person's life and death, he didn't have to say the previous words in his heart. It would be enough to just say "that person's life and death has nothing to do with me."

Sure enough, after hearing his answer, Wen Xiangwu showed a disappointed expression. When the emperor noticed this, he immediately panicked, but did not dare to show it. What's funny is that he did not hide all his emotions, otherwise I would not have found out that he was panicked.

At this time, Wen Xiangwu turned his head and looked at Ji Lun again.

"Princess Zhaoxi, do you think this person is hateful or not?"

"Hateful." Ji Lin replied without thinking, "But he is such a person, and I can't do anything about it."

OK! This guy also found out that I was pretending to be stupid!

Alas! That glance is really deadly!
