713 A Co The Emperor Alone 3 (1/2)
In the winter, people wore cheap but war clear and burning alcohol In the spring, the heel in Jiangnan's ays turned slowly as the seely unremarkable water conservancy facilities silently exhibited their effectiveness In the sue-leaved fans wafted cold wind in the hoes and shi+ps left the workshops and delivered the goods into the hands of those who needed it
The foundational water conservancy facilities all over the Qing Kingdolass and porcelain in each fah all the space were actually all related to the palace treasury The palace treasury was not just the three large workshops in North Min In reality, it covered the entire Qing Kingdo Bookstore Furthere industries such as dos in that were in the lives of the common people These small items headed toward the other end of the sea and were scattered aathered a startling adodom, military equipment and weapons that a powerful army needed, the battleshi+ps for the three major navies, and used this endless source of wealth to fund the supplies that the Qing Kingdom needed for its expansion in every direction More idom and needed this wealth to stabilize the people andof the court officialdom syste Kingdo in their lives At least, it had becootten the importance of the palace treasury or at least underesti Edom with a brain would not The Northern Qi court, which had long salivated after the palace treasury, would also not forget
Otherwise, the Qing Kingdoather elite soldiers in North Min and set up a defense around the three large workshops that were codou All of this was to prevent the leaking of craft secrets from the palace treasury
However, the fire in the Royal Palace clearly de Kingdoreatest secret was not a secret at all It could even be considered a bargaining chip for him to play with as he wished Once all the processes for the industrial crafts were destroyed and the old craftsain, the foundation of the Qing Kingdom would suffer a fatal blow
The Emperor's cold face still demonstrated that he was not worried about the palace treasury being destroyed He knew that Fan Xian also cared greatly about the palace treasury He would not destroy such a treasure of the world just like that He believed that although Fan Xian acted in Jiangnan and destroyed that copy of the processes, before he did these things, he must have already s that were still useful could be used as bargaining chips in a negotiation The Elanced at Fan Xian ”You have indeed lost all reason to do such a thing as a subject of the Qing Kingdom”
Fan Xian was silent for a moment and then said, ”I just think that, in the end, this is a matter between you and me It is truly not my wish for disaster to befall the world”
These words s clear The Eaining chip in his hands that he cared about sufficiently, how could this Emperor fully restrain his Emperor's heart and limit this battle within the walls of the Royal Palace? The Emperor had sufficient means to deal with the people who leaned toward Fan Xian All Fan Xian wanted to do was to force the Eainst them
It seemed like a naïve and childish request, al at house Your Majesty, I am about to rebel However, if my rebellion fails, please do not trouble those subordinates that followed me… However, there was a death-like silence in the snowy Palace Neither Fan Xian, who had estion, nor the cal house Fan Xian did hold a weapon that could hardom
The Eh Fan Xian held the fatal weakness of the palace treasury in his hand He glanced coldly at him and said, ”Continue”
Fan Xian bowed sincerely and said, ”Your Majesty is overfloith talent Presently, the Qing Kingdoy can be used with brave soldiers in ar at Ye Wan, one can see that there is still top talent within the Qing army Even if the palace treasury is destroyed by me, it will not completely collapse within a short tith, noShanhu resists, the Qing e North and s up the land with the strength of tigers and wolves Your Majesty will certainly be able to complete the ambitious desire to unite the world within your lifetih I hold the heart of the palace treasury, I still have to admit that I cannot threaten you You could not care about any of this,” Fan Xian said calaze reaches far How can it be just at one place and one ti Emperor's eyes ”Your Majesty wants to unite the world to create a large ee a peaceful future for the endary name in the annals of history for thousands of years Thus, what you seek is for the Qing Kingdom is thousands of years of unity”
”If you live, you could s up Northern Qi and Dongyi, quash all resistance with force, and curb the people's hearts isdoence You would be able to ensure the unity of the world But, what if you die?”
The corners of Fan Xian's lips quirked into a smile ”There is not another like Your Majesty in the world Where would the Qing court, which had just taken over the world, seek out another shockingly talented ruler? Who can stand in opposition when the n subjects raise their soldiers in resistance? Can the Qing Kingdoht, and center? I'ain into the fires of battle At that tidou itself dom could ensure the unity of its territory”
”Your Majesty is well-versed in history Naturally, you know that those who rule through blood never last long There have been Eh the world In the end, nothing lasted past the second generation”
”For three years, I have thought on Your Majesty's grand plan Naturally, it depends on the palace treasury, this endless resource, to ensure the Qing Kingdoe over its new territory, intie the advantage of national power for time and the power of harmonization in the name of communication It needs to be used as a push to establish otten and the hearts of the new subjects belong to the Qing Kingdom Only this is true unification”
”However, if the palace treasury is destroyed, ill ensure the Qing Kingdoe in national and military power? If you're alive, there are no foundational changes If you die and there is no palace treasury, ill maintain the situation in this territory?”
”And, all people eventually die,” Fan Xian said as he looked calmly into the Emperor's eyes ”Even Your Majesty is no exception Even you cannot escape aging and illness Looking at the plans of the court these three years, Your Majesty has also been thinking about the future”
”You are a confident person who has every right to be confident You don't believe that the Northern Qi E Shanhu would be able to oppose your determination to sweep across the world,” Fan Xian calmly said ”Even without the existence of the palace treasury, you would still be able to co you have worked decades for”
”What you want isn't the dazzling blossodom to fall under the storm of rebellion afterward The history books are alritten by the victors If the united world cannot persist for thousands of generations, even sorand as you in history will only leave behind a violent and short-sighted reputation”
Fan Xian sdoenerations Thus, you need the palace treasury in my hands”
”What can you proratified It was clear that this unfathoht in his favorite son His every word ca close to his grand intentions
”If I die, the recorded copy of the processes would return to the court and the destruction in North Min would also immediately stop As you know, I always have some loyal subordinates,” Fan Xian answered sincerely He didn't say defeated because he had coe the Royal Palace into a battlefield Whoever lost would naturally die What other path was there?
As he spoke, Fan Xian turned his body and stood shoulder to shoulder with the Eround that shi+aze landed to his left He said, ”Under Your Majesty's attack, the Chief on the grasslands will never have the strength to rise again However, beneath the mountains to the very west, there are still seven thousand Man riders that moved from the snowy plains This rees to roup of riders will never coaze followed his and landed on the snow to his left He furrowed his brows slightly and said, ”During the great battle of Qingzhou this tiht around 3,000 Man riders According to Gong Dian's report, the battle power of these Man riders is indeed very powerful If not for the unfairness of heaven that granted three years of snowstorms to the snowy plains of the North, they would not have had to co at it this way, Shang Shanhu was truly reainst the Man people in the North for so h people to affect the situation” The Emperor's brows relaxed He coldly shook his head, clearly not willing to accept Fan Xian's bargaining chip
”We are speaking of thousands of generations” Fan Xian's tone was frivolous He even dared to use such treasonous language as ”we” With a s h There are also a large number of women In addition, now that Western Hu has suffered such heavy losses, this group of Northern Man riders are certain to becorasslands If they want to go to various tribes to capture women, who could stop them? As Your Majesty knows, the Hu people are famously fertile In, at most, a decade or two, the entire tribe will be very powerful”
”If no one can suppress, control, or guide this newly risen tribe, would they not becorasslands court?” Fan Xian looked at the snowy ground to his left and shook his head ”The lives of the coic Do they have to endure htly and said, ”I don't understand Your forces in Xiliang Road and the grasslands have almost been wiped out by me What power do you have left to influence those Man people?”
”Songzhi Xianling,” Fan Xian said with a sh she is a princess of an old tribe and her status is honorable, she has little real power to give orders However, her status rerasslands is lofty, and she is also very powerful She is already able to congregateas we can control her, we can control these Man people”
