BXBX NOVEL Chapter 460: lessons learned
"If my father wants to lead troops into the capital, the first thing to deal with is the Pei family." Xiao Junji emphasized very seriously, "Only when the Pei family falls, can my father dare to bring troops into the capital with confidence."
Pei Yi\'s heart shuddered, and she secretly thought that the Pei family tree was so popular, but it really became a thorn in the flesh of all kinds of supernatural powers.
Xiao Junji said in a deep voice: "Although the Pei family is beautiful, it is actually deeply suspected by His Majesty. Under such circumstances, if there are rumors that the Pei family is trying to rebel, His Majesty is very likely to attack the Pei family."
Pei Yi took a deep breath, only feeling a bit chilly on her back. She said calmly: "That\'s why I asked people to pay attention to the rumors in the market, don\'t let people take advantage of the loopholes."
Xiao Junji disapproved and said: "You are only guarding against whether others will say it, and you are completely passive."
Pei Yi suddenly felt enlightened, and said with a smile: "Other people say that my Pei family is not good, so can my Pei family not praise myself?"
Before, when the Great Zhou was founded, His Majesty had a very high prestige.
In order to alleviate His Majesty\'s suspicion, her father could only allow the public to slander the Pei family by "self-defilement".
It can be one moment or another.
Da Zhou has long been uprising everywhere, and the foundation is not as good as before.
Although the majesty of the old emperor is still there, he is no longer as convincing as before.
At this time, her Pei family no longer has to dormant and self-defiled like before.
On the contrary, in order to protect themselves, the Pei family should focus on proclaiming their goodness to the world.
Her father conquered everywhere, made great military exploits for the world, and supported the peace and pure land of the Great Zhou Dynasty. This is the hero of the Great Zhou Dynasty and should be admired by the people.
As long as her prestige among the people is high enough and her father\'s military power is strong enough, the old emperor would not dare to deal with the Pei family for any crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason—even if the old emperor dared to do this, he would have to ask the people if he would Yes, is the Pei family willing?
Pei Yi has a plan in mind, but she still deeply feels that the Pei family is in a difficult situation, and she can\'t help but feel a little heavy in her heart.
"Just having the support of the people may not be useful." Xiao Junji pointedly reminded, "The former general Weiyuan was very popular with the people."
"But there are people in Kyoto who have slandered General Weiyuan for collaborating with the enemy and treason. Didn\'t the Empress of Great Xia sentence him to Ling Chi\'s death?"
"The ordinary people who love General Weiyuan on weekdays dare not do anything other than complain for him."
Pei Yi seemed to mean that it was useless to blame the people in his words, and she disagreed and said: "The support of the people should not be underestimated. Empress Daxia beheaded General Weiyuan, not only lost the hearts of the people, but also chilled the hearts of those soldiers."
"Sanlang\'s words are not wrong at all." Xiao Junji said meaningfully, "However, if this popular sentiment is not utilized, wouldn\'t it be of no benefit to me at all?"
"Just like this great general, the reason why he is so feared by the Great Xia Empress is because he has too high a reputation among the common people—it seems faintly more popular than the Empress."
"Who can be the emperor to tolerate such a person? What\'s more, this person is not an ordinary literati, but a general who holds military power and is good at fighting."
"In this way, people\'s hearts are completely a burden to General Weiyuan. It\'s better to be a general who everyone scolds to be safe and happy."
Pei Yi thinks so.
Take the Pei family as an example. Her father conquered Turks in the north and Chu in the south. Not only did he win every time, but he also won very beautifully.
The common people actually respected her father very much when they got the news.
But her father knew very well that retreating bravely is the way to protect himself-the military achievements are so high, the reputation cannot be better.
Otherwise, in the eyes of the emperor, do you want to stand up and become the emperor by yourself because you combine your skills and the hearts of the people?
"Nowadays, if the Pei family has the hearts of the people and is not good at using them, then they can only end up in the same fate as General Weiyuan." Xiao Junji said meaningfully.
Pei Yi heard that there was something in his words, and asked intentionally: "Then how can you be good at using people\'s hearts?"
Xiao Junji Pili Yangqiu smiled, and said slowly: "In this world, there is only one person who needs the support of the people. If the rest of the people have the support of the people, it can only be regarded as a threat to the stability of the country."
This hint is too obvious.
Pei Yi was stunned for a moment.
In this world, only the emperor really needs the hearts of the people.
If the Pei family was in that position, who would dare to comment?
but-
Pei Yi said with a half smile but not a smile: "If my Pei family were to take that risk now, the emperor would make a move on the Pei family."
"Even if my Pei family can win the emperor, it will also bear the title of \'regicide\'."
"Moreover, the Xiao family in Jinzhou can completely lead an army into Beijing in the name of King Qin\'s revenge, and morally overwhelm the Pei family."
"Furthermore, the Pei family has fought so many times, I\'m afraid they will be pulled down before they can secure their position."
Pei Yi glanced at Xiao Junji meaningfully, and smiled half-jokingly and half-seriously: "You encourage the Pei family to do thankless things like this—if it weren\'t for your willingness to join the Pei family, I would suspect that you are The Xiao family sent a detailed work."
Xiao Junji\'s secret way is not good.
He was obviously trying to make a plan, if San Lang misunderstood him and caused a rift between the two, wouldn\'t he be too bad and wronged?
Xiao Junji was very anxious.
He repeatedly shouted: "Sanlang, I am wronged! I just think that the Pei family is a knife for stretching out the head, and a knife for shrinking the head. It is better to simply have a good time."
"Saburo, you are indeed right - if the Pei family and the Huo family make the first move, then the Xiao family will have a great advantage both in terms of morality and timing."
"But the timing is changing rapidly."
"The Pei family can only hope that the emperor will only focus on dealing with the Xiao family now, so that the Huo family will be seriously injured in the fight with the Xiao family first, and the Pei family will just reap the benefits."
"But hope is just hope, and the development of the situation does not necessarily give you this opportunity to take advantage."
"So for the current plan, the Pei family should make two-handed plans—if the emperor can\'t figure it out and must deal with the Pei family first, what should the Pei family do; if the old emperor wants to deal with the Xiao family first, what should the Pei family do."
Seeing the man explaining so anxiously, Pei Yi knew that her skeptical attitude made the man very uneasy.
She couldn\'t help feeling a little guilty, and comforted her softly: "What you said makes sense. In a few days, I\'m going back to Pei\'s mansion. You might as well go back with me, and tell my father face to face if you have any ideas. "
Xiao Junji suddenly felt shy and excited like an ugly daughter-in-law seeing her in-laws.
The corners of his mouth were raised high, and he responded cheerfully: "I listen to Sanlang~"
