Chapter 558 Anyway, she definitely can't follow in the footsteps of those examples.
Lin Chang'er paused, looked up at him, and asked, "What major event has occurred in the north?"
Wu Qingfeng sighed, "The one above is consolidating his power, so he took the Minister of War as an example and found a batch of military equipment in the Minister of War's home."
"The old minister had no way to defend himself, so he committed suicide by crashing into the Golden Palace to prove his innocence. Afterwards, the imperial guards surrounded the mansion, and the old lady and a group of female relatives set themselves on fire in the backyard."
"Only the eldest grandson of the old Minister escaped to Bohai to find his father, protected by a loyal old servant."
"The entire family of the former Minister would rather die than live in dishonor. More than half of the officials in the court pleaded for their lives, but the Emperor was determined to go his own way and issued three imperial edicts, sending envoys to Bohai County to escort the former Minister's youngest son, who is also the commander of the Bohai garrison, back to the capital for trial..."
"And then they rebelled?" Lin Chang'er continued.
He thought to himself, "To hell with the idea that a subject must die if the emperor commands it. Since the ruler above is so incompetent and tyrannical, why should I blindly obey and die? Why can't he be replaced?"
Let's find a wise ruler and restore a bright and clear world for all the people.
Wu Qingfeng nodded, "Yes, he has rebelled, and all the states in the Northeast are showing signs of submitting to him."
Lin Chang'er inexplicably felt that the old Minister's whole family had a lot of backbone.
The whole family went to their deaths, not only to cry out for justice to the world, but also to give their young children and grandchildren a way to live.
If it weren't for the resolute actions of the entire government, the ruler of Bohai would have been hesitant and timid, and might not have dared to take any action.
Lin Chang'er dipped her teacup in water and drew a line on the makeshift investigation paper.
Wu Qingfeng asked in confusion, "What is this?"
Lin Chang'er replied, "The sea route from Ninghai to the Bohai Sea."
Wu Qingfeng paused for a moment, then immediately realized, "You want to make contact with the Bohai side?"
Lin Chang'er lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, "What do you think of that person's character? Does he have the ambition to become emperor? Is he worthy of being a wise ruler?"
Wu Qingfeng shook his head. "I am not familiar with him, but the old Minister is upright and incorruptible, and he is strict in managing his family. I think he is of good character."
Lin Chang'er tapped her fingers rhythmically on the table. "But there's only one spot. If we're going to do it, we have to do something big."
"What constitutes a large one?"
Lin Chang'er solemnly said, "Either you take the position yourself, or..."
He paused for a moment, then said, "The safest course of action is to rise to the top myself. Helping others rise to the top is ultimately just doing the work for someone else's benefit, but..."
"Neither you nor I have that intention, so the next best option is to promote a trustworthy person to a higher position."
But if we can trust him now, what about five or ten years from now?
What about in twenty or thirty years?
And then, the next generation, and the generation after that?
However, it is still unknown how many generations the imperial power can last. All she can do is pass on the teachings and survival rules of her generation to the next generation, hoping that the next generation and the generation after that will understand them as much as possible.
I will not be a foolish minister.
After she finished speaking, Wu Qingfeng remained silent for a long while before finally asking, "What do you think of the Awakening of Insects?"
Lin Chang'er was shocked, "What?"
"Given his qualities and character, could he be a wise ruler?"
Lin Chang'er blinked, then suddenly slapped her forehead. That's right, she has a son. If she doesn't want to, she can have her son or daughter take the place of her!
But then she pursed her lips and frowned, "What about Shao'an? I think Old Madam Bai has the intention of vying for the throne."
She had thought about this before, but after thinking it over, she felt that if she was going to do something like this, she should definitely invest in the safest option!
The most practical thing is to keep power in your own hands. If you help them rise to power, who knows if they will turn around and turn against you once they've achieved it?
The Lü Chancellor in later history, he was good at investing, but in the end, he still didn't...
She definitely can't follow in the footsteps of those examples...
