Chapter 1039

There is no doubt that this child can only be Duan Yu's.

"Empress." Green Willow, who was standing on the side, said in a low voice: "If the Empress continues like this, it is not a way. There are many people in this palace, and if..."

He Lingsi's eyebrows wrinkled.

Even if Green Willow didn't say this truth, she naturally knew it better than anyone else.

As the Empress, if it is discovered that she has such behavior that insults the royal family.

The first thing that will not be guaranteed is her position as Empress.

The second thing that will not be guaranteed is the position of her son Liu Bian.

Once she is demoted, the eldest son will not be the eldest son of the Empress, and their He clan...

It is precisely because of this that He Lingsi invited a female doctor from outside the palace, and after the matter was confirmed, she also let that female doctor disappear quietly.

"Empress, why not ask the Marquis of Ji about this matter?" Green Willow said in a low voice.

Duan Yu...

He Lingsi thought about it, but still shook her head.

Whether she tells Duan Yu or not, the ending is the same.

This child cannot be kept.

She is in the harem all year round, and she will be discovered sooner or later, unless she deals with it as soon as possible.

"Sigh..." He Lingsi sighed, and then said with a lonely expression: "Prepare, no need to notify Duan Yu."

He Lingsi's close maid, Green Willow, nodded gently after hearing this and said: "The servant understands."

Yongheli, Yuan Wei's mansion.

After finishing the meal, Yuan Wei returned to the study.

At this time in the study, besides Yuan Wei, there were also Yuan Ji and Yuan Shu.

The two were kneeling and sitting opposite Yuan Wei.

The next generation of the Yuan clan can also be considered outstanding.

Yuan Ji is one of the Nine Ministers, the Grand Servant, while Yuan Shu is the General of the Huben Middle, in charge of the Huben Army, and Yuan Shao is serving as the Inspector of Jizhou in Jizhou.

It is no exaggeration to say that the next generation of the Yuan clan is now three heroes in one family.

"Uncle, do you think His Majesty will implement the abolition of the Inspector and the establishment of the Shepherd?" Yuan Ji looked at Yuan Wei, who was sitting behind the desk, and asked softly.

Yuan Wei, wrapped in a black robe, remained silent for a long time.

Abolish the Inspector and establish the Shepherd.

Liu Yan proposed to abolish the Inspector and establish the Shepherd at this time.

Proposing to abolish the Inspector and establish the Shepherd when Duan Yu was managing Liangzhou with great success.

I am afraid that Liu Hong really has no reason to refuse.

The national treasury is empty, and the emperor is restricted, which is something everyone knows.

If Liu Hong wants to regain imperial power, he must have money, food, soldiers, and generals in his hands.

Where do these money and food come from?

Abolishing the Inspector and establishing the Shepherd, Liu Hong is bound to do so.

And...

This matter may not be what Liu Yan thought of himself. Is there a possibility that Liu Hong wanted to borrow someone else's mouth and then say the matter of abolishing the Inspector and establishing the Shepherd?

Yuan Kui shook his head slightly; such a possibility was not entirely out of the question.

Liu Yan is a member of the imperial clan. If Liu Hong wants to abolish the Inspector and establish the Shepherd, the first choice will definitely be to send a member of the imperial clan.

"It is estimated that it will not be long before His Majesty will definitely implement the abolition of the Inspector and the establishment of the Shepherd."

Yuan Wei said with a gloomy face: "With Duan Yu pushing behind the scenes, this matter is a foregone conclusion."

"This..."

The expression on Yuan Ji's face stiffened and said: "If this happens, everyone will be like Duan Yu, then... then..."

Yuan Wei looked up, his eyes like an old fox looking at Yuan Ji: "Are you saying that in this way, the aristocratic families will be contained?"

Yuan Ji nodded and said: "Duan Yu is unscrupulous in Liangzhou, almost slaughtering the Huang clan of Jiuquan, the Cao clan of Dunhuang, and the Su clan. If the Shepherd takes office and holds the power of a state, the aristocratic families of the world will never have a chance to stand out."

"Will other Shepherds not imitate Duan Yu's actions?"

The fact that Duan Yu slaughtered the aristocratic families of Liangzhou after his last faked death had already reached Luoyang two months ago.

At that time, it also caused a panic in Luoyang.

In particular, Cui Lie and others who stood up to impeach Duan Yu for the first time were even more frightened.

So after this news came, they stood up to impeach Duan Yu.

However.

After Duan Yu slaughtered these aristocratic families, he sent the confiscated family property and the evidence of these people's collusion with foreign races and support for Beigong Boyu and the Western Qiang to Luoyang.

One is the evidence of the crime, and the other is the confiscated family property.

Liu Hong overcame all dissenting views and suppressed all the voices impeaching Duan Yu.

Yuan Wei shook his head.

Yuan Wei does not know whether other Shepherds will imitate Duan Yu, but Liu Hong has tasted the sweetness and will definitely find ways to let these Shepherds sent out imitate Duan Yu to fill the national treasury.

With Duan Yu's speed of gathering wealth and his means, in less than three years, the national treasury of the Great Han will be full, and there will be many things the emperor can do.

"Is there no other way?" Yuan Ji asked with a frown.

Yuan Shu on the side suddenly rolled his eyes.

"Didn't Uncle say it? The emperor is bound to do it, so what other way is there, unless the emperor dies tomorrow..."

Swish!

Just as Yuan Shu's voice fell.

Yuan Ji and Yuan Wei's eyes fell on Yuan Shu at the same time.

Yuan Shu, who was suddenly stared at, was stunned.

"Uncle... you... I... I was just talking nonsense." Yuan Shu lowered his head hurriedly.

Yuan Ji also restrained his gaze.

Was it nonsense?

Thoughtful expressions flashed in Yuan Ji's eyes.

Yuan Wei's eyes, like an old fox, narrowed, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly: "In the world, there is never anything absolute. It is man-made, what does that rotten bone know."

"Gongdao, are you still in contact with Zhang Rang's son, Zhang Feng, recently?"

Yuan Ji nodded after hearing this: "Still in contact."

"Zhang Feng learned that Duan Yu had gained power in Liangzhou and could not take revenge, so he became even crazier than before."

Yuan Wei nodded with a smile and said: "In the military strategy 'Thirty-Six Stratagems', how to explain the third strategy, Gongdao, you tell me."

Yuan Shu on the side turned to look at Yuan Ji.

Yuan Ji said slowly: "Uncle, the third strategy in the military strategy 'Thirty-Six Stratagems' is called borrowing a knife to kill."

"It is rumored that during the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Jian of Qi sent the general Guo Shu to attack Lu, passing by at that time when he was not as good as Qi."

"Confucius's disciple Zigong, after analyzing the battlefield situation, persuaded Tian Chang, the prime minister of Qi, to attack Wu to eliminate dissidents, and persuaded Wu to save Lu and attack Qi, and let Yue send troops to follow Wu to attack Qi."

"Afterwards, Zigong ran to Jin again, letting it guard against Wu's invasion. In the end, King Fuchai of Wu led one hundred thousand elite soldiers and three thousand Yue soldiers to attack Qi, and Lu sent troops to help, and the Qi army was defeated. After Fuchai won, he moved his troops to attack Jin, but was repelled by Jin, who was well-prepared. Zigong cleverly maneuvered, borrowing Wu's knife to defeat Qi, borrowing Jin's knife to destroy Wu's prestige, and Lu was able to be liberated."

"This is the strategy of borrowing a knife to kill."

Yuan Wei stroked his chin and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad."

"Sometimes, as long as you can achieve your goal, you don't necessarily have to do it yourself."

"Using other people's goals to eliminate dissidents and achieve the results you want, this is the highest realm."

"Does Gongdao understand?" Yuan Wei asked.

Yuan Ji suddenly widened his eyes, and then nodded rapidly: "Uncle, nephew has been taught, I understand."

"Good." Yuan Wei smiled softly.

Yuan Shu on the side widened his eyes, his eyes full of confusion. ===== CHAPTER 1041 =====
