Chapter 250
After the imperial examination fraud case, another big news detonated the whole capital.
The person who wrote "Three Realms of Qin Rhythm" and "24 Fragments of Go", as well as "Scholarly Fragrance", "Painting Rhyme" and other outstanding works, is actually the same person?
That's okay, these are relatively elegant things, although they are published in newspapers, so that ordinary people like them can read them, but those who understand them are still those scholars, and ordinary people don't feel deeply.
But what makes them feel very substituting is that the author who created the time-traveling theme "Odd World Records", the gangster who wrote about lingering love, and the one who drew children's picture books are actually the same person.
And they are all His Highness King An!
King An, as residents of the capital, how could they not know King An.
Almost every few months and half a year, An Wang will bring great changes to everyone's life. Every aspect of their current life is inseparable from An Wang and his wife.
For example, the house repaired by cement, such as the briquettes for cooking, such as the cotton cloth worn, such as the strange food.
When a child is born, they will think of the Maternity and Children's Hospital established by An Wang and his wife. When the child goes to school, they will try their best to send the child to the college funded by An Wang.When the child grows up and wants to work, Wang An's factory is the best place to go. The salary is high, the benefits are good, and he is also envied.
Therefore, if there is one person in the capital who does not know King An, then he must be a native of Fanbang who cannot understand Chinese.
No, Fanbang talents don't know that their best partner is the caravan under King An's banner!
It is such a person who brings new things to the people in the capital all the time, the person who lives in the hearts of every people, and now tell them that he is also versatile, talented, and talented.
It's like... nothing unexpected.
surprise?surprise!
Is it strange?Not surprisingly!
Although everyone said that these novel things were invented by Princess An and had little to do with King An, few people believed them, after all, few people had actually seen them.
Out of their consistent prejudice against women, they all felt that this must be Wang An's idea, but Wang An was sick and couldn't move, so they kept asking Concubine An to do it.
This kind of thinking is deeply rooted, and no one thinks it is wrong, from the emperor to the common people and beggars.
But tell them now, no, those are really Princess An's idea, and King An is that amazing talent, the great writer who has written countless articles in newspapers and is highly praised.
It seems... nothing surprising.
The people in the capital accepted it so easily, and put forward some opinions to support their words.
"I have said long ago that the prince was raised by the great Confucianists, and his talent is more than that. Look, I am right. The prince is really powerful, and he is not obsessed with strange skills."
"When did you say that? How come I don't know? On the contrary, I think that with a brain as smart as the concubine's, only a talent like the prince can match her."
"Oh, you said back then that King An is a strict wife, and Princess An is a tigress."
"Nonsense, when did I say such a thing, Wang An is so powerful and talented, how could he be a strict wife, don't slander me."
"..."
Such remarks can be seen everywhere in the capital, from the banquets of nobles to the teahouses and restaurants in the market, everyone is talking about the stunningly talented King An, and everyone is admiring the perfect match between him and Princess An.
Overnight, Anxi and Li Yunqian became famous in a way that amazed the capital and even the entire Great Chu Kingdom.
You may not know who the current emperor is, or how many princes the emperor has, but you must know King An and his wife, Princess An.
This kind of fame is all over the world, but those people who should be feared the most, including the emperor, including the princes, have no intention of obstructing him.
When the eighth prince was implementing this plan, Emperor Xingde and several princes knew about it through the spies in the eighth prince's mansion.
They thought, yes, with an example like Li Yu, who else would support talented people to take the top position, and wouldn't they be afraid of destroying the country?
Therefore, they all agreed with the Eighth Prince's plan by coincidence, and stepped in behind, making the rumors spread more and more widely, and the rumors became more and more intense, even to the point of detonating the capital.
Everyone was talking about Anxi, and Anxi was also talking about this rumor with Li Yunqian.
"The news has spread so widely, and everyone thinks that you are not suitable to be an emperor, so who will support you?" Li Yunqian was puzzled, she knew that Zhang Shide was from Anxi, and she must have been instructed by Anxi to do this.
Anxi smiled, "But I'm not a useless scholar. Even if I'm really Empress Li, you're not Empress Zhou. My trump card is you. As our reputation spreads farther and farther, what you have done Those products will be known by everyone. And when they know that you made these and you brought them a better life, do you think they will still object? The common people don't know Li Yu, they only know you! "
"But this is not a chaotic world. The idea that water can carry a boat and capsize it doesn't work now. You have to rely on the support of courtiers if you want to be in power. They won't support a person like Empress Li." Li Yunqian At this time, his mind was extraordinarily clear, and he caught the loopholes in Anxi's words at once.
Anxi raised his eyebrows, "Do I need their support, or do they need my support?"
Li Yunqian suddenly realized, "So you want to pull down all those who don't support you, and let the people you cultivated come to the top?"
Half of the expenditure of Prince An's Mansion is on cultivating talents. Although she also supports education, she also finds it a bit strange that this expenditure is too much.
It turned out that Anxi had this idea to replace most of the people in the court!
It's not easy!
This is not a simple matter of buying clothes. When you buy new clothes, you can throw away the old ones. The court affairs are very complicated, and people's hearts are also the most difficult to figure out. How can Anxi be sure that he can do it?
This is against the entire court!
Anxi smiled and said, "It's not as scary as you think. I just use the hands of the Eighth Prince and the Emperor to replace those who don't suit me. It doesn't matter whether the person replaced is mine or not, as long as he knows , I have the credit for being able to ascend to the position. When I have the opportunity to reach that step, it is fine for them not to stand up against it. As for whether they will listen to me after ascending, there is no need to worry. Absolute authority creates absolute authority. obedient."
When no one else stood up to oppose him, even if he had objections in his heart, no one would be willing to be the leader.
"Then what are we going to do next?" Li Yunqian didn't understand if she understood, but she didn't worry about it any more. Anyway, with the boss Anxi around, it wasn't her turn to bother.
"Once again, I became that impossible person. Since the recovery, the attention on me has disappeared again. It's time to do something."
The reason why Anxi came here was not only to make his princess famous, but also to make the attention of him disappear.
After all, there are too many people watching, and he is also restrained in doing things.
Li Yunqian opened his eyes wide, "What do you want to do?"
"It's been a few years since we've fought a war. The army is rotten. Don't say go to battle to kill the enemy. I guess they can't even beat the punks." Anxi couldn't help shaking his head when he thought of the situation of the army under investigation.
"Is it so serious?" Li Yunqian couldn't imagine that she was born in New China. Whether it was in the video, in the textbook, or even from the adults, the army is a place with strict discipline.
In a place like that, even if there are problems, it won't be that bad... right?
Anxi shook his head, "The modern army and the ancient army are not a concept. The ancient soldiers were called soldiers and ruffians for no reason. Their training and requirements were not like modern ones, and they followed the rules and regulations. Look at the ancient army. What matters is the general, how the general leads the troops, and the state of the soldiers below. If it is a general who does not stick to small details and only thinks about winning the battle, then his troops may be heroic and may charge forward, but they are definitely not in the modern sense. The patron saint of the people. Because they may plunder the people after winning the battle, or they may get drunk and lose their temper, and beat their family members to death. However, because they can win the battle, they will not suffer any punishment. Punishment. This is the difference between the rule of man and the rule of law.”
When the general is no longer an upright general, there is no difference between his soldiers and gangsters.
And there have been no battles for many years, and the generals have lost their military spirit. They only want to make money, and they only want to jump up, but what can their subordinates be like?
In the whole Great Chu, except for a few armies, everything else is corrupt.
"So you want to rectify the barracks?" Li Yunqian didn't expect that the ancient army was like this. Supporting Anxi now, such an army is not good.
Anxi looked at her strangely, "What are you thinking? Given my current situation, what qualifications do I have?"
Besides, if he dared to reach out to the barracks, Emperor Xingde would be the first to let him go.
If he had had this idea, he would have been proactive, instead of letting himself remain hidden behind the scenes.
"Then what do you want to do?" Li Yunqian was speechless. In her eyes, Anxi was the kind of old and cunning person who would definitely be able to do it if he wanted to.
Is it true that she thinks highly of him too much?
Li Yunqian glanced at Anxi hesitantly, saw the light in his eyes, and then shuddered.
No, no, Anxi is that powerful, the only difference is whether he wants to do it or not.
"Corruption is rife in the army, and the military salaries are plundered layer by layer. In the hands of ordinary soldiers, it is less than one-tenth of what it used to be in previous years. The eldest prince who serves in the Ministry of War must have received filial piety all these years, right?"
Li Yunqian suddenly realized, "So you want to mess with the eldest prince!"
"It's not that I want to do it, it's that the third prince wants to do it!" Anxi shook his head in denial.
Li Yunqian didn't believe him. What did the third prince want to do? He obviously wanted to break the current situation of three-legged confrontation, yet he had the nerve to plant it on the third prince.
shameless!
