The emperor was no longer entangled in Bai Shinian's problem, but he asked about another thing: "Tell me, why have you been mute for so long even though you can speak?"
Wen Wan looked at the Xiang Fei color silk-sprinkled moon blue albizia flower elastic silk shirt and skirt she was wearing, and she didn't know how the emperor's grandfather knew about it. She hid it so well. Well, to tell the truth: "Actually, I was scared at that time. I raised the knife on my head, looked at the grass next to me, and casually called Xiao Qing's name. Later when I returned to the palace, I was afraid that I would attract his attention by talking. . So just shut up."
The emperor said with a smile on his face: "Isn't it more than that?"
Wen Wan is like a child who has done something wrong. She stands upright and holds the corners of her clothes with both hands. He looked like he was sincerely apologizing: "Actually, I dare not speak because I am afraid of Master Awakening's indescribable comments. They all say that the indescribable destiny is the destiny of the queen. I don't want to be the queen. Even if I never marry, even if I am a sister-in-law, I don¡¯t want to be a queen. The emperor must have three palaces and six courtyards, and there are many women. If he dares to touch other women, I am the only one. If I want to divorce him or turn him into a eunuch, I will pile him into a pheasant and put him in an urn so that he will not be able to die." When Wen Wanshu said this, her whole body was filled with emotion. Angry. Wen Wan deliberately made her words cruel and ruthless. I hope it will dispel the emperor's idea of ??randomly matching him.
The emperor was stunned. When he came to his senses, he was so angry that he slapped Wen Wan on the head and cursed angrily: "You damn girl, what nonsense are you talking about? You are looking at something expensive. This word must be spread, Who dares to marry you?"
The emperor was really angry and used all his strength to fight. Wen Wan's words are not comparing herself to Liu Bang's wife Lu Fei. A member of the royal family. Especially the emperor hates such women the most (Lu Pheasant often kills women of both sexes). So the emperor was really angry.
Wenwan was so painfully slapped by the emperor that she burst into tears (the emperor was really angry now and slapped her twelve times). But the gentle tone remains unchanged at all. Even in order to achieve the effect, he added a little more fuel: "Hmph, why can a man have three wives and four concubines? A woman has to stay together. If such a thing really happens, I will find ten or eight beautiful women in the future. The little man is here to serve me"
The emperor shouted angrily: "Shut up." The emperor was so angry that Wen Wan gasped.
Seeing that the emperor looked like he was going to kill her, Wen Wan did not dare to say any more. The emperor is not stupid. Naturally, it was obvious that Wen Wan's words were not true. To say this is just because he doesn't want to marry into the royal family and to give up his mind. Ahem, forget it, the children are older, and everyone has their own fate. What to do with all the worries!
The emperor thought so in his heart, but did not show it on his face: "Forget it this time, I will hear your nonsense next time. Go to the Buddhist temple and copy the female precepts a hundred times."
Wen Wan grimaced and stared at the pearls on her embroidered shoes. I thought silently in my heart, hoping for what I would say. It can make the emperor's grandfather give up his thoughts.
The emperor glanced at Wen Wan and asked slowly: "Wen Wan. You said that the weapons and equipment at the border need to be improved. How to improve them? Apart from these, do you have other good methods?"
Wen Wan raised her head sharply, and when she saw the emperor's faint smile, she stammered: "Grandpa Emperor, I don't understand what you are talking about." She finally knew what was wrong.
Seeing that Wen Wan was pretending to be stupid, the emperor showed him the book.
Wen Wan quickly stretched out her hand to take it. After reading the book, blue veins popped out. That bastard, it turned out that it was all that bastard who caused this. She said, why would the good emperor and grandpa be suspicious? It turned out to be the fault of that guy. If Bai Shinian was by Wen Wan's side now, Wen Wan might cut him into pieces or poke countless holes in him. Then throw it to the wolves. Now, these methods are useless, Wen Wan still cursed Bai Shinian a hundred times in her heart.
Wen Wan finally pursed her lips and said, "Immediately improve the equipment. You can refer to the equipment of my horse. I feel that other weapon improvements are a bit backward. But how to improve them, I don't quite understand. The so-called specialization in the arts still needs to be done." Masters with professional knowledge should study it. "This is true, and there is no shirk. She studied economics in her previous life and had no contact with these machines. She had only seen some advanced weapons and equipment, but she didn't understand how to make them. The equipment on the horse was simple, and she often went to the racecourse to ride horses and got to know a lot about it.
The emperor smiled slightly and said, "Is there no good way?"
Wen Wan touched her head and thought for a long time. If she can't fool him this time, she has a big head. After thinking about it, I also thought it was time to show some of my own strength, so I decided to express a question in my heart: "Actually, I have read a lot of memorials about border customs, and I have also read a lot of information in the past six months, so I have something very interesting. Don¡¯t understand? Why are the Manchus getting stronger?¡±
 As soon as the emperor's eyes lit up, he knew that this girl had been pretending to be stupid. In fact, there is a universe within. Thinking of Wen Wan's master who never showed up: "Wen Wan, what do you want to say?"
Wen Wan can be said to be a primary school student when it comes to politics, but when it comes to military affairs, she is like a kindergarten student who knows nothing. But she is a keen businessman: "I am surprised that even though the Manchus are brave and good at fighting, they have a fatal weakness. That is that they do not have a stable source of food. The food cannot feed so many people every year because it cannot be saved. Food. Once there is a natural disaster, countless people will starve to death. Not to mention other things, I checked the information specifically about the drought outside the customs that year, and not many people died in the Qing Dynasty. The consequences of natural disasters are incomparable.¡±
The emperor frowned and said, "Wen Wan, what do you want to say?"
Wenwan was originally just suspicious. Because the inside story was too big, she had no intention of telling the emperor. I originally wanted to find an opportunity to talk to King Zheng and let King Zheng pay attention. But now, since the emperor asked, she just expressed her opinion. And even if she doesn't say it now, she will definitely remind her uncle: "Grandpa Emperor, I suspect that a large amount of grain flows from the customs into the outside. Otherwise, there is no way to explain this phenomenon."
The emperor accidentally pushed the tea cup next to him, and the tea water flowed out and soon became a small stream, dripping to the ground. In this quiet and harmonious palace. Extraordinarily crisp ears. This is the first time that the emperor has lost his composure in the eight years since Wen Wan met the emperor.
The emperor didn¡¯t seem to notice, staring at Wen Wan and saying: ¡°Wen Wan, why do you suspect it?¡±
Wenwan looked at the emperor's gaffe. I knew he was right as expected. With a faint sigh, it seemed that the generals at the border were fishing for the outer pieces and had an affair with the Manchus. No wonder the emperor's grandfather was hesitant about sending Bai Shinian last time: "Emperor's grandfather. This is just a guess. I also checked a lot of information and got a lot of information from Xia Yao before making a guess. It's not a random guess. It's just that the emperor's grandfather. Since there is Why not stop this phenomenon?" Wen Wan means. This is not a guess, but a well-founded one.
The emperor smiled bitterly: "Silly girl, since you can guess it, you should also know why you didn't stop it?" It's not that he didn't stop it, but that he couldn't stop it. It¡¯s not that the flow of large amounts of food to the Manchus was treason, because the border was bitterly cold and the treasury was empty. Sometimes even food and salary could not be distributed to the soldiers in time. The price difference earned is also an important source of income for the border military camp. Some senior leaders know it. But there is no way. If it moves, the border will be in chaos. So they all turned a blind eye. Of course, these are hidden from the soldiers below. otherwise. Where is the purity now?
But this kind of behavior is tantamount to attracting doves to quench thirst. The harm is endless.
Wen Wan took a long breath: "Can Bai Shinian be able to resist?" That guy seemed to be a shrewd man, but in fact, the pride and arrogance inside him were really difficult to eliminate in a short period of time. Once your head gets hot, it's easy to get sucked in.
The emperor softened his tone and said, "Why, are you worried about him?"
Wen Wan said nonchalantly: "This man is indeed handsome. I think if he doesn't marry that Qi Li Niang, he must have figured it out. Grandpa Emperor, this man is indeed talented and has a good heart. As long as you give him time, he can Keep my Daqi border peaceful. However, although the emperor's grandfather is indeed good, it can be seen from the last defeat that he is still arrogant and arrogant. He thinks that I am the best in the world. Such a person. It's easy to make a big mistake. Of course, it doesn't matter if he makes a mistake himself, but I'm afraid it will affect the stability of the border. If possible, give him someone who is good at making decisions and will not be tricked by that old fox Qi Quan. Polish his temperament. I believe that with such a person around him, those weaknesses in him can be eliminated over time. "Wen Wan thought it would be good to give Bai Shinian a good adviser. Firstly, it can be used for surveillance, and secondly, it can help him gain a foothold at the border. With him here, peace at the border can be guaranteed for thirty years.
Wen Wan believes that as long as her uncle is given time, he will be able to rectify the shortcomings in the court. Once there are no other interferences in the government affairs and the treasury is full, I will have my hands free, not only to destroy the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but at least to beat him so that he no longer dares to show his teeth.
The emperor showed deep thought: "Are you so confident in Bai Shinian?"
Nodding gently, there is no need to hide it now: "Yes, although I don't like this person. But I can't deny that he is a rare handsome talent. Give him time to establish himself, the Manchu people, and for the time being. Can't make big waves. I believe that as long as you give your uncle time, the Manchus won't be afraid."
When the emperor heard this, he smiled. It seems that in Wen Wan's eyes, Lao Ba is much better than Bai Shinian: "Then tell me, how can we help him quickly gain a foothold?"
Wen Wan looked regretful: "Actually, if he married a Miss Qi family, he would be able to establish himself in the border area as quickly as possible. It's a pity that this person's brainIt's not easy to use the child. You can do the opposite on the face or behind the back. But in this current situation, I can only seek other methods and slowly grind it out. "If you reject Qi Quan, you will definitely need time to get better. If Qi Quan is a narrow-minded person, he might even give him some shoes to wear!"
Seeing that Bai Shinian was not taken seriously by Wen Wan's words, the emperor's original unhappiness disappeared. In addition, Wen Wan was thinking about helping Prince Zheng, so she teased: "Girl, Bai Shinian is going to marry you. That's your husband. You said it so easily."
Wen Wan puffed, almost scared to death: "Grandpa Emperor, don't scare me. I'm not married yet, so Wen Wan begs Grandpa Emperor not to mention it in the future."
The emperor was speechless. No matter what, when you get married and enter the bridal chamber, you will always be partial. But never thought that Wen Wan would push it away completely. I have never seen such a free and easy person.
Putting the personal information aside in advance, the emperor asked with a smile: "Wen Wan, tell me, is there any way to help Bai Shinian gain a foothold at the border as quickly as possible?"
Wen Wan shrugged her shoulders and stood up to clear the table for the emperor. After sorting it out, he said: "It depends on the reason why the emperor's grandfather is unwilling to support him? If you want to gain a firm foothold, you must have your own strength. The three thousand tigers cannot move, but they can transfer a few generals. Transfer some of them His direct lineage is still good, and he must be loyal. Grandfather, I really hope that you can support him, and then my uncle can start to deal with internal affairs. "
The emperor did not understand Wen Wan's words: "Why can't the three thousand tiger troops be transferred over? Now the Japanese pirates have been wiped out along the coast. Wouldn't it be better to transfer them over?"
Wen Wan's eyes flashed: "Uncle Emperor, the mighty tiger army is still of great use. Although large groups of Japanese pirates have been wiped out along the coast, there are still small groups of Japanese pirates moving around. These small groups of Japanese pirates must be eliminated. And , there will be more and more pirates in the future.¡±
The emperor looked at Wen Wan: "Pirate?"
Wen Wan nodded: "Yes, pirates. In the future, the sea ban will be opened. They will engage in ocean trade. There will inevitably be many group bandits who kill people and steal goods. I simply call them pirates. The powerful army will become the nemesis of pirates in the future. Ensure the safety of Daqi's trade. Moreover, If Da Qi becomes stronger in the future, I will suggest that my uncle build a navy that is powerful enough."
The emperor looked at Wen Wan, this child really has a far-sighted vision. Even before the sea ban was opened, pirates were already on the mind. Think of building a navy. Although he didn't think there was any benefit to building a navy. However, as long as the treasury has money, anything can be built. The emperor's eyes flashed: "The treasury is empty. It cannot be recovered in ten years. Wenwan, you can fill this hole in a few years."
Princess Wenwan knew what the emperor meant: "Grandpa Emperor, you can't become a big fat man with one bite. Everything has to be done step by step. Don't worry, if uncle needs me, I won't refuse. I will try my best. Grandpa Emperor, uncle will definitely do it." It will make the Manchu Qing Dynasty surrender to me, Da Qina, and even" Wen Wan felt that the next words were too loud, so she swallowed them back.
The emperor's eyes were complicated, "Have you so much confidence in your uncle?" In the emperor's impression, Wen Wan seemed to have always had the highest regard for the prince's abilities. Absolutely believe it.
Wen Wan nodded heavily, "There is no one more powerful than my uncle in this world. I believe that my uncle can definitely do it. My uncle will definitely become a wise king, defeat the Qing Dynasty, rectify the internal affairs, and create a peaceful and prosperous age." "When Wen Wan said this, her expression was high and her words were firm. It seems that she has seen the peaceful and prosperous times.
The emperor touched Wen Wan's head and smiled softly. With Wen Wan's words, he no longer had any worries. When Lao Ba ascends the throne, this girl will never stand idly by. That's fine.
When Wen Wan saw that the emperor did not accept her words, she stopped. She helped Bai Shinian speak for no selfish reasons. It¡¯s really about thinking about the big picture. Nowadays, there is no room for chaos in the court, and no big wars can be fought. It must take five to ten years to recover.
The reason why Wen Wan emphasized the prince's ability was to tell the emperor. With the prince's ability and means, there is no need to worry about Bai Shinian being out of control.
The emperor naturally understood the unspoken meaning of Wen Wan. The emperor felt truly sorry this time. If Wen Wan were a man, he would no longer worry about the Manchu Qing, a scourge of Daqi. Hey, nothing is perfect.
After the emperor finished talking to Wen Wan, he originally wanted to teach Ding Dahai a lesson before dealing with Ding. Unexpectedly, Ding Dahai had already committed suicide a year ago because of corruption and bribery in his previous office. However, because the Bai family traveled for him, his home was only ransacked and he was exiled eight hundred miles away.
After his term expired, Ding Dahai returned to his hometown. Although he was not dead, he had shed several layers of skin. He couldn't figure it out. Everything was fine, but why did we suffer such a disaster? Who on earth wants to kill him like this? His enemy doesn't have this ability yet. Many years later, he realized that heWho did he offend and why did he go to jail?
The emperor was very strange and asked Wen Wan: "Since Ding Dahai has been dealt with, why not deal with the Ding family as well? Without her, how could you have been kidnapped, and how could you have experienced what happened later?" The emperor originally wanted to kill him. Ding, but she knew that what happened to Ding Dahai was Wen Wan's doing. It's impossible that even Dad took action, but the culprit let it go. Wen Wan probably had other ideas.
Wen Wan looked innocent and cute (anyway, as her acting skills became more and more proficient, pretending to be cute became easy for Wen Wan): "How could I, a kind-hearted and broad-minded good boy, care about such a person? Grandpa Emperor, let her be. ¡±
Seeing that Wen Wan was behaving well in front of the emperor, Eunuch Wen pursed his lips and smiled. When the emperor saw Wen Wan, he knew that she had a plan, so he ignored her.
Wen Wan did not lie to the emperor. She really had no intention of taking revenge on Ding. It was just a matter of saying that she wanted Ding to die. It's not that she is kind, but it would be much more interesting to let Ding live in the Hou Mansion (the chief housekeeper was unwilling to let Ding live in the Hou Mansion after hearing Bai Shinian's words). So the old lady had no choice but to arrange for her to live in the Hou Mansion. He built a small courtyard and sent two maids to serve him). Life was good, but Mrs. Ding was so beautiful that she was just placed in the inner courtyard like a flower. Bai Shinian has not touched the Ding family. As time goes by, there will definitely be problems. Wenwan can predict that the hat on Bai Shinian's head will be green. So, she slowly waited to see how Ding would cheat on her. Without her taking action, someone would naturally kill this woman. Killing her with one knife would be too cheap for her. However, gentleness made people kill the wet nurse. (To be continued)
