Astute Princess: Married to be the Empress Novel - Chapter 147

Chapter 147 The Way of Running a Country
After Emperor Da Chen instructed the palace maids to serve tea, Then he brought the two of them to their seats, Let Huyan Mingshuo and his wife, Huyan Mingshuo sat down on the left and right, while Huyan Mingshuo sat down on the chair. Seeing that Huyan Mingshuo’s attitude was still respectful, their favorable impression of him also increased. Hence, Huyan Mingshuo said sincerely to him, “Emperor Chen is too polite. There is nothing to do now. Let’s discuss the situation in the future.”

Now that the world is basically unified, “Right now, other than the Tianshui Kingdom, which is still fighting stubbornly, most of the other countries have already submitted to me, Ye Lan, and obeyed my orders. However, I am a shallow scholar and have only been keen on leading troops to war since I was young. I wonder if I can consult Emperor Da Chen for a bit so that I can learn something from him.”

Seeing Huyan Mingshuo ask about this matter, Emperor Da Chen was very surprised. In terms of their current relationship, they weren’t very close. They shouldn’t have asked him about such a big matter. If it was anyone else, they would have been on guard against him. However, Huyan Mingshuo personally wanted to ask him for advice.

But since he asked, ‘”Thank you for your trust, Your Highness. I shouldn’t have talked too much about such a thing. But since Your Highness has asked, I can’t help but tell you what I think. Your Highness can just listen to what you have said. I hope Your Highness doesn’t take offense.” He said after pondering for a moment.

“Emperor Da Chen, there’s no harm in saying that. This palace is just asking casually and passing the time. After all, sitting like this is boring. Let’s just treat it as idle chatter.”

Actually, Huyan Mingshuo was sincerely asking him for advice. After all, among the emperors of various countries, only this Great Chen Emperor was considered wise. Moreover, he had been in power for many years, and he must have accumulated quite a few ways to govern the country over the years.

Huyan Mingshuo himself knew that although he could conquer the world by force, he could not rule the world by force. With the unification of the world right in front of him, he really needed knowledge and experience in this field. However, looking around the people around him, he actually had nowhere to ask for advice.

Everyone knew that the ones closest to him were Emperor Ye Lan and Emperor Wei. Because of the conspiracy of the Nanjiang people, the emperors of these two countries had suffered severe physical and mental damage. They had even lost their ability to judge themselves, causing the country to be in turmoil and even their own throne to be in danger.

So, Emperor Ye Lan and Emperor Wei, I can ‘t count on it at all, Since Emperor Da Chen was able to survive this turbulent period, Keeping a clear mind, he managed the country in an orderly manner, and was able to surrender to good will at a critical moment, reducing domestic casualties. It could be seen that there was indeed merit in him. Hence, Huyan Mingshuo wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to chat with him, hoping that it would be helpful to him in ruling the world in the future.

Seeing Huyan Mingshuo’s sincere attitude, Emperor Da Chen was also gratified. He believed that the people would be able to live and work in peace and contentment after letting such a person rule the world.

“Since His Highness the Crown Prince has asked, then let me nag. In the current situation, the countries under the heavens are indeed subservient to Yelan Country. His Highness the Crown Prince has indeed unified the world, but ever since ancient times, it has been easy to defend Jiang Shan and Jiang Shan.

Although the various countries were openly submitting to His Highness the Crown Prince, they still acted on their own. At present, apart from sending a small number of troops to the various countries, Ye Lan did not take any other measures. This was actually a very big hidden danger.

Right now, all countries have suffered from the devastation of war, and their national strength has been seriously damaged! At present, they were naturally powerless to resist, but that could only be temporary stability. Once they recovered their strength and recovered their breath, the various countries would rise up to resist. Even if His Highness the Crown Prince had three heads and six arms, he would still be powerless to suppress them.

So, in my opinion, His Highness the Crown Prince should return home as soon as possible, After becoming emperor, he unified the currency, controlled the circulation of the currency, sent people to take over the iron ores in the hands of various countries, controlled the number of weapons, and restricted the basic weaving of the armies of various countries, so as to prevent the powers of various countries from becoming strong. Only by controlling the world’s finance and military power in his own hands can he fundamentally control the stability of the situation.

These words could be said to be from the bottom of Emperor Da Chen’s heart. He had even ignored the fact that their Great Chen Country was also a member of these countries. Huyan Mingshuo would also use these suggestions in his country. Right now, he was just standing on the side of a good teacher and good friend, telling Huyan Mingshuo all of his good ways of governing the country and the good plans for world stability.

If you want to ask him, what is the purpose of doing so? Actually, it was very simple. He only hoped that Huyan Mingshuo would become a Ming Monarch, so that the world would be peaceful from now on. The people of the world would be able to live and work in peace and contentment from now on. As for who would be the emperor and who would be in charge of the world, it didn’t matter.

This was precisely his sagacity, Since ancient times, no emperor would willingly hand over the power in his hands to others. Most of them were for the sake of the highest position. Father and son were suspicious, and their flesh and blood were torn apart. However, he was willing to accept Huyan Mingshuo’s unification and reveal all of his years of experience in governing the country in order that the people of the world would no longer suffer from the bitterness of war.

Huyan Mingshuo was also quite shocked. Emperor Da Chen’s words, It could really be said to be a golden jade advice, so when Emperor Da Chen finished speaking, Huyan Mingshuo immediately stood up and walked in front of him. Then, he respectfully bowed to him and said, “Thank you, Emperor Da Chen, for your righteousness. I have been taught. Please accept my respects. I am here to thank you on behalf of the people of the world for your selfless golden jade advice.”

Seeing him like this, the Great Chen Emperor was greatly frightened. He quickly stood up from his chair and helped Huyan Mingshuo up. He said, “Your Highness the Crown Prince is serious. I am the king of this country. How can I bear His Highness the Crown Prince’s great gift? Your Highness the Crown Prince, please get up quickly. Don’t disappoint me.”

Huyan Mingshuo, on the other hand, circulated his internal force to contend against him. After insisting on saluting him, he straightened his body and sincerely said to him, “Your unselfish advice deserves the respect of this palace. Only the monarchs who put the people of the world in their hearts can obtain the sincere support of the people of the world. It can be seen that Emperor Da Chen has been truly popular these past few years. The so-called people who have won the hearts of the people have won the world.”

This is exactly what I want to learn. I know very well that you can kill and seize the world, but you cannot kill and rule the world. Now that you have been taught by Emperor Da Chen, it is truly my fortune and the fortune of the people of the world. Therefore, you deserve this gift. ”

Seeing him say this, Emperor Da Chen had a deeper understanding of him. Everyone only knew that this Ye Lan Crown Prince had the title of Hell Asura, because wherever he went, there were flames of war and the people were in dire straits. However, who would have thought that he was also a benevolent ruler who loved his people as much as a child? It seemed that he was helpless to seize the world by slaughter!

So he sat back on the chair and continued, “Your Highness the Crown Prince is wise. Fortunately, the world is blessed, and the people are blessed.”

Looking at how modest the two of them were, give way to each other, Fu Yingran almost fell asleep. So she yawned, Just as he was about to change the subject, But at this moment, The royal hidden guard sent by Emperor Da Chen to capture Mu Ling Hua just now returned. Without waiting for the eunuch to pass on the message, they directly walked into the main hall. The person who came was still the four people just now. However, there were two people following behind them at this moment. The two of them were carrying a stretcher in their hands. Mu Linghua was lying quietly on the stretcher, like a corpse.

The few of them rushed into the hall and went straight to the Great Chen Emperor. They bowed to him and said, “Report to the Emperor, the Royal Hidden Guards have already brought Mu Linghua back according to the Emperor’s orders. They have also killed all the remaining Southern Domain sins and returned to hand over the orders.”

Emperor Da Chen looked at the calm faces of the few people. He glanced at Mu Ling Hua, who was half dead on the stretcher, and then said, “Thank you, everyone. However, Mu Ling Hua’s identity is special and her influence on the current situation is very important. Therefore, I would like to ask everyone to keep an eye on her before she leaves the Great Chen Kingdom. We must not allow her to cause any trouble in the Great Chen Kingdom.”

Emperor Da Chen’s worries were not unnecessary, because he knew that if he wanted to force Mu Ling Hua to come up with a solution, he had to wake her up. However, once Mu Ling Hua regained consciousness, she would no longer be under control. No one could predict what would happen to her.

And these Great Chen Hidden Guards, They were also the descendants of the Great Chen Imperial Family, Seeing that Prince Nanjiang was plotting against Great Chen, Luckily, Ye Lan had always been in favor of the Great Chen Kingdom. Otherwise, they would have already taken action to eliminate her. However, their duty was to defend the Imperial Palace, and they did not involve much in matters outside of the Imperial Palace.

Therefore, they didn’t know that the Southern Jiang King had even calculated Chen Bao’s fate, so they didn’t know anything about Chen Bao’s fate. It was only after the incident that they found out that the Southern Jiang Princess, Mu Linghua, had actually used the Concentrated Gu on Chen Bao, and even wished to use it to control the Great Chen Kingdom.

Therefore, when they found out about this matter, they looked at Mu Ling Hua as if they were looking at a dead person. If it wasn’t for Prince Ye Lan’s repeated announcements that he wanted to bring Mu Ling Hua back to Ye Lan, they would have killed her with a single sword strike.

As hidden guards of the royal family, Their responsibility was to protect the Emperor’s comfort at all times. They didn’t leave even half a step. That was why they heard the conversation with Fu Yingran yesterday. As long as they killed Mu Ling Hua, they would have been able to remove the Consonant Gu from Chen Bao’s body. If they hadn’t taken into account the loyalty Gu in Concubine Li’s body and Huyan Mingshuo’s wishes, they would have already ended her just now.

Although this Chen Bao was born to Imperial Concubine Li and had half of the Southern Bloodline flowing in his body, no matter what, his surname was Chen, and he was also a descendant of the Great Chen Imperial Clan. He could be considered their junior. Seeing him suffer this sin for nothing, they couldn’t help but feel uneasy as elders.

But now, Emperor Da Chen actually wanted them to stare at Mu Ling Hua. He couldn’t help but feel a little disgusted in his heart. However, as the hidden guards of the royal family, they absolutely couldn’t resist the Emperor’s orders. Thus, the few of them reluctantly replied, “Yes, I will obey your orders.”

After saying this, they put down Mu Linghua and walked out of the hall, instantly concealing themselves.

Seeing that the royal hidden guards had retreated, Fu Yingran stood up from his chair. She walked to Mu Ling Hua’s side and told her to read it from head to toe. After confirming that it was Mu Ling Hua herself, she turned to Emperor Da Chen and said, “This is indeed Mu Ling Hua himself. Now, please give me that brocade box. Remember, don’t let that thing touch any part of your body, or else you will bear the consequences.”

Hearing Fu Yingran’s words, Emperor Da Chen’s hand, which was about to reach out for the brocade box, paused. He couldn’t help but hesitate. There were already two people in the palace who were unconscious because of the backlash of the Gu worms. He didn’t want to be the third person. Otherwise, Da Chen would be in a mess.

However, as the ruler of a country, he had to protect his dignity. No matter how scared he was, he still couldn’t show it on his face. Thus, he overcome the fear in his heart and forcefully picked up the brocade box. He didn’t dare to open it. He walked towards Fu Yingran like this. His hand holding the brocade box trembled slightly.

As soon as he arrived at Fu Yingran’s side, he impatiently handed the brocade box in his hand to Fu Yingran and said, “Nah, this thing is so dangerous, the Crown Princess must be careful.”

In his opinion, any kind of Gu worm was very dangerous.
