Yu Qian didn't say anything. He just cupped his hands and looked at Gu Fengming.
Indeed, he really wanted to know what Gu Fengming meant when he said that he wanted to secure the palace. Although Gu Fengming had given the words 'to resist foreign aggression, we must first stabilize the internal sect', which coincided with what he thought, Yu Qian would not think that a nine-year-old child could do anything because of this.
"In the current state of the court, there are only two things that matter.”
"For many years, the officials of the imperial court formed cliques for personal gain, causing the entire Great Phoenix Dynasty to be in a foul mood. This is a malady left behind by my Imperial Father when he was in power. After my brother ascended the throne, although he could barely control these officials, it was too difficult to eliminate them.”
"This has also led to the current chaos in the court. The ministers in the court have formed cliques and divided into several groups. It can be said that they have committed all kinds of evil by deceiving their superiors and subordinates, causing the people to suffer and suffer at dawn.”
"Those who want to serve their country, either join them and be corrupted by them. Or they would be rejected outside the door and have no way to serve, resulting in the current court being filled with a group of snakes and rats.”
Gu Fengming looked at Yu Qian and answered his question first.
"As for the problem of the vassal kings, this is an even greater drawback. Our Great Feng Dynasty implements the system of enfeoffment, and the number of vassal kings that have been enfeoffed in the past hundred years is countless. These vassal kings held military and political power in their fiefs, which could be said to have weakened the power of the central government.”
"Especially in the past few years, these foreign vassal kings have become even more so. They have money and soldiers in their hands, and they seem to have become little emperors in their own fiefs, posing a great threat to the throne.”
"When my brother was still around, he could still intimidate these vassal kings so that they wouldn't dare to act rashly. But now, my royal brother has passed away. Changge is young and has no one to rely on.”
"The so-called peace in the country is to suppress these two forces. Otherwise, even if the Crown Prince can successfully ascend to the throne, the Great Phoenix Dynasty will be completely thrown into a storm and will collapse at any time in the future.”
Gu Fengming used to be the Freedom King, so he didn't care about these things. Anyway, Gu Longming was here. In his opinion, with Gu Longming's strength, he would be able to change the situation sooner or later.
Unfortunately, the heavens were jealous of talents. Gu Longming had not even had the time to display his ambition before he had already gone west.
After he left, he was clean. He threw a pile of shit at Gu Fengming. Just thinking about it made Gu Fengming want to cry. This was a f * cking heaven-shattering opening. If it weren't for the system, he would have directly typed out GG.
As soon as Gu Fengming finished speaking, Yu Qian's gaze became a little more colorful. Looking at Gu Fengming in front of him, he was quite surprised. For the first time, he looked Gu Fengming up and down.
"What Your Highness knows is indeed beyond this lowly subject's imagination. That's right, our Great Phoenix Empire is currently in a precarious situation, and the slightest carelessness will cause it to topple. What you've said is indeed the two greatest crises within our Great Phoenix Empire.”
"I just don't know. If you let His Highness handle it, which side do you want to target first?”
Yu Qian looked at Gu Fengming and asked directly.
"I will move against the vassal king first. Cutting the vassal is imminent!”
Gu Fengming did not hide anything and said directly.
"Hiss, what do you mean? Forgive me for being blunt, but although the vassal kings are too powerful to be eliminated, they are still relatives of His Highness and the Crown Prince. Shouldn't they reorganize the court first?”
Yu Qian's eyes lit up. He gasped and asked Gu Fengming.
" Hmph, those officials of the Imperial Court are all bastards and detestable, but under the secret arrangements of my Imperial Brother for a few years, they have already fallen into a clique struggle, restraining and suppressing each other. It seems that those officials have greatly harmed the development of the Great Phoenix Dynasty, but they are only a superficial illness. They do not pose much of a threat to the throne.”
"But those vassal kings are different. They have power, land, and soldiers. They all have the surname Gu and are the bloodline of Emperor Taizu. They pose a huge threat to the throne. If these people are not eliminated, it will be useless even if the court is stabilized.”
"Therefore, we must first eliminate those who pose a threat to the imperial power.”
"Besides!"
"Besides what?"
At this moment, Yu Qian's hands were trembling as he looked at Gu Fengming.
"Moreover, the current court is deeply intertwined. It's too difficult to allocate one's own power. If he could take back the fiefs of the vassal kings, not only could he cut off the vassals, but he could also allocate his own forces on those fiefs. Once he had those regions firmly under his control, these clowns in the imperial court would no longer be enough.”
"Most importantly, the power of the vassal kings and the imperial court are mutually restrained. If we move the vassal kings, the courtiers will only support us. In their view, if we move the vassal kings, they will have meat to eat. These vultures should be happy to help us.”
Gu Fengming smiled and looked at Yu Qiandao. His eyes flashed with the wisdom and courage of an adult.
"Your Highness, please accept Yu Qian's bow!”
After hearing Gu Fengming's words, Yu Qian knelt on the ground.
"Hey, Lord Yu, what do you mean?”
Seeing Yu Qian kneel down to him, Gu Fengming was stunned. This was very unlike Yu Qian!
Immediately, he went forward to support her.
"Just now, I was quite critical of Your Highness's regent. Now it seems that I was narrow-minded. Your Highness 'foresight and wisdom are extraordinary. It seems that His Majesty is right.”
Yu Qian was indeed amazed by Gu Fengming. A nine-year-old child could have such thoughts and experience. This was too terrifying.
Gu Fengming's thoughts coincided with his. However, he was a scholar who had passed the imperial examination and had read a lot of books. However, Gu Fengming was a nine-year-old child. How could Yu Qian not be surprised that he was inferior to a child?
At this moment, he had already understood some of Gu Longming's meaning. It seemed that the Emperor had long seen that his younger brother was not an ordinary person. No wonder Gu Fengming had been extraordinary since he was young.
"Lord Yu, you're too kind. Lord Yu, the Crown Prince, Empress, and I are in a state of panic. As the country's uncle, you have the country in your heart, so I hope you can help me.”
Gu Fengming looked at Yu Qian.
"Your Highness, don't worry. Yu Qian is duty-bound to do this, but if there is a need, I will sacrifice my life!”
Yu Qian was also very domineering. He did not shirk his responsibility. He looked at his sister, nephew, and Gu Fengming and said firmly.
"Good!"
Gu Fengming nodded. He had already begun to plan how to get Yu Qian to take up an important position in the court. This required him to think carefully.
