The emperors of the four great empires at the end of the second century and the beginning of the third century, apart from Liu Xie, all had their own characteristics. Severus was a general, Vorogis V was the emperor who killed the emperor and ascended the throne, Ardashir was the founder of the country, and Wei Sudeva I's political and diplomatic balancing techniques.
These gadgets all have very amazing effects. At least when these people do their jobs seriously, they can produce some outrageous results.
This time, Vesutiva I was pushed to the limit. Oswin raised the will of the empire and recaptured the Liuling coffin. He defeated Zhou Yu who broke through Qunv City. It can be said that the halo has been filled. Coupled with Oswin's consistent performance , the military gave full support to Oswin, and even Khusroi could accept Oswin's command.
Under such circumstances, it would be strange if Vesudeva I's sense of crisis did not explode.
Earlier, both Jia Xu and Li You estimated that at this point, Vesutiva I's fear of Oswin would definitely be full, and the consequences of the king not being the king, and the minister not being the minister would definitely occur in the future. At that point, Xun Qi was in it. After a few more provocations, Guishuang will definitely defeat itself.
As a result, the conclusion given by Fa Zheng now shocked Jia Xu and Li You.
"Logically speaking, this method is definitely the best solution for Kushan. The question is, is this the best? Can Vesudev I really accept it?" Zhuge Liang did not consider this issue and followed the Fa Zheng. The logic can easily understand this result. There is no rebellious psychology like Jia Xu and Li You. It is just the best. Can it really be realized?
"I think it's very possible." Fazheng glanced at Guo Jia and saw that Guo Jia was about to open his mouth, so he interrupted what Guo Jia was about to say.
"Yes, yes, stop talking." Chen Xi also stopped Guo Jia. Guo Jia's crow's mouth is really too evil. Even if it is a predetermined result, if this guy speaks, God knows if there will be any surprises.
Guo Jia glared at Chen Xi angrily, then gouged out Fazheng, but still shut up. He also knew that he was indeed a crow's mouth.
"There is a high probability that Vesuteva I will really appoint Oswin as his heir. This is the absolute best solution at present." Fazheng said seriously, "I carefully collected this guy's performance over the years and analyzed his mentality. , it was finally determined that Guishang’s many mistakes were actually the result of his efforts to maintain political balance.”
"What that guy has been pursuing is the balance between Southern Guishan and Northern Guizhou, the military and political balance. This approach actually caused Kushan to lose several opportunities." Fazheng said while rummaging around, and soon found it. He received several intelligence reports about Vesudeva I during the Han Dynasty and the Kushan Campaign. "This information seemed somewhat stupid at the time, but if you think about it deeply, you will find that these behaviors are all for balance."
Jia Xu and Li You also took the information handed over by Fazheng and looked at it carefully. In the past, they only saw that Vesutiva I was stupid, which caused the Kushan military strength to lose combat opportunities again and again. , but now under Fazheng's reminder, the two of them quickly realized that Vesudeva I seemed to have been implementing a balancing strategy.
"One thing I have to say here is that we all agree that Vesudeva I was not a useless emperor. On the contrary, his abilities may be considered excellent. It is just that he paid too much attention to the balance between the internal situation and the external situation of the country, so it happened. There are a lot of confusing government orders." Fazheng said, pointing to several strange orders in the battle between Han and Gui.
"Based on this, I think Vesudeva I's layout of Kushans tends to be balanced. In fact, this can be seen in many aspects. Vesudeva I behind the ascetics, the ascetics behind the Kshatriyas, and the Brahmans collapsed Later, Vesudeva I helped the Brahmins, and during the Great War between the North and the South, the imperial scepter stood in Nangui, etc." Fazheng gave a bunch of examples.
"What you said does seem to make sense." Jia Xu is more capable and has excellent ability to analyze and judge the political situation. After Fazheng gave an example, he also realized some problems and his brows furrowed involuntarily.
"So, assuming that all of Vesudeva I's decrees are centered on balance, then in the current completely unbalanced situation, if Vesudeva I wants to continue to maintain balance, the only choice he can make is this extremely unnatural answer. ." Chen Xi sighed and said.
"Yes, this is the only plan that is completely unexpected but can actually maintain balance. To be honest, I thought about it carefully and there is no other way. Only this method will bring the political situation in Kushan back to balance again." Fa Zhengdian He nodded and said.
"It doesn't actually matter whether Oswin is loyal or not. Whether he has ambitions or not does not need to be analyzed. As long as he is established as one of the heirs, it will be enough to level the political situation, because the support of the military, the protection of the will of the empire, etc. are all quite Because it revolves around the country, and in turn, after this order is issued, Oswin will not be able to succeed even if he is ambitious." Jia Xu already understood the logic.
"Yes, no matter how supportive the military is, no matter how popular Oswin is, as a descendant of a noble family who is not from the fifth branch, after marrying the daughter of Vesutiva I, he was listed as one of the heirs to the throne. There is no way to try to get the throne while Vesutiva I is still alive." Chen Xi said with some emotion, "This is really a good move."
"What's more important is that this hand united Oswin's subordinates and pushed those who were dissatisfied with this matter among the five branches to another heir. In addition, Aldashir was introduced to disrupt the situation. The situation was It has basically been maintained in a state of tripartite equilibrium." Fazheng nodded and said.
The most important thing is that for Vesudeva I, this step only cost the position of two princes. As for who will succeed in the end, Vesudeva I will be dead by that day anyway. As long as he still controls it while he is alive. As long as he takes the throne, that's fine. It doesn't matter who the successor is. Anyway, he has not been seized of power or overthrown.
In addition to the grace and so on, Oswin is basically in place. It is impossible for Oswin to have extra ambitions to take action against Vesuthiva I. All that is left is to maintain the balance of the situation before death, and this is what Vesuthiva What I have been doing all my life.
"In this case, there seems to be a trend of healing in Kushan as a whole?" Li You frowned and said. If Oswin married the daughter of Vesutiva I and was listed as a prince and heir, then many of Kushan's problems would have been solved.
"The problem is huge, because one of the three heirs is ours, so the balance will inevitably be broken, and Vesudeva I's balancing method will definitely offend the five internal branches, so the people who unite around the Xun family will quickly Increased." Fazheng waved his hand and said, "Of course it is undeniable that this is indeed a skill for surviving in death."
"I think things may not be as good as you think." Zhuge Liang, who had been listening but said little, suddenly said.
"Is there any problem with my analysis?" Fazheng raised an eyebrow and said. Others said that he would not have any ideas. As for Zhuge Liang, Fazheng was somewhat unhappy with Zhuge Liang.
The reason for his dissatisfaction is not clear, but Fazheng always feels that Zhuge Liang sits on this throne, which makes him, an old minister, a little unhappy, even though he is only thirty years old...
"The analysis is fine, but one thing may not be right." Zhuge Liang thought for a while and said, "If Vesutiva I pursues balance, should he declare Oswin as a prince first, or marry his daughter first? What is the order? , and on the Ardashir side, which step is it?"
Fazheng was startled for a moment, then looked at Zhuge Liang, "I was negligent. I didn't expect you to notice such details without paying attention at all. You just listened to my explanation."
"Marry the daughter first." Jia Xu sighed and said, he already understood what Zhuge Liang was talking about, "But before marrying the daughter first, Vesutiva I may have contacted Ardashir. During Oswin's wedding , Ardashir will also come, and then announce it at the wedding. Vesudeva I would rather lose some people before, but also want to accomplish this."
Based on the current situation of Oswin, Vesudev I's marriage to Oswin's daughter is not even considered a gift of marriage. It can only be regarded as a way to stabilize the powerful officials. If Vesudev I did this kind of behavior, it would even be a bit panicked and would only Let people see Vesudeva I clearly.
But this is actually a test. If Oswin doesn't accept it, Vesutiva will be humiliated. Even if Oswin is appointed as prince and heir, it will still look like he is being coerced. the meaning of.
The problem is that Oswin is a man who accepts death and is loyal to Kushan, even these people here agree with it) Even if he belongs to that kind of country, it is bad, but I was born in this place, so this bad situation should be changed. , I can’t say that before I die, this country will be as bad as before I was born. This man is a real hero.
This is why Guan Yu and others admire Oswin very much.
Therefore, if Vesuthiva I marries his daughter to Oswin, Oswin will definitely accept it. At this time, there will inevitably be a lot of rumors. These words are unfavorable to Vesuthiva I. They are basically talking about Vesuthiva I. Deva I was already powerful on the outside, but we might as well follow Oswin and rebel against Vesudev I.
Although it will not be launched on the spot, and no one will stop it, as long as such words appear, it is a manifestation of the rift between the emperor and his ministers.
However, as long as Oswin married Vesutiva's daughter and paid homage to his father-in-law, Vesutiva I stood up and announced Oswin's achievements and Ardashir's achievements. The five branches of Kushan were the enlightened five branches and were willing to establish two After becoming a prince, he can be the heir to the Kushan Empire.
At this time, Ardashir, who was accompanying Oswin, must have been approved by Vesutiva I. In addition, this was indeed an opportunity. Under the premise that Ardashir did not refuse and was willing to block Oswin's gun, Oswin He was determined to become the heir. As for Ardashir, to be honest, he was just a gun-blocker, but Vesutiva I offered enough benefits for him to accept it.
Of course, Ardashir would not refuse such a good thing and such a claim. As for the issue of the mismatch between danger and virtue9, as long as the resources of Vesudeva I were provided, Ardashir would never refuse, and this move If you smash it down, although there will be an uproar, people's hearts will be stable!
Just like Severus, as a military emperor, ascended the throne and became emperor by strength, he was able to stand firm in Rome, but when Caesar emerged from the eagle emblem and crowned Severus, Severus was happy to accept it. After all, this But they are all political legacy.
The same is true for Oswin. Even if the military forces under his command have ambitions to support Oswin, they will just put his head on his belt. Now that Oswin has been established as a prince and heir, with legal authority, look around at other heirs, then Can't he just wait and take over?
Prince pray? Okay, I barely have some strength, but what kind of strength Oswin has, it is the support of almost all the military leaders of an empire! Regardless of the five royal families mentioned above, there must be some who disagree, but on the other hand, there must be many people in the five royal families who agree. ah!
In this case, can the prince pray for Oswin to fight? What are you dreaming about!
As for Aldashir, some people may not have understood it at the time, but after a while, everyone will realize that Aldashir is just a companion. Since he is a companion, what else is there to say? Besides, Oswin We still have a comradeship with Ardashir, but in a completely hopeless situation, who else can we stand with if we don't stand with Oswin?
In this case, isn't Oswin the ironclad successor to the country?
In this way, all the noise has been eliminated, and all the noises about Vesuthiva being powerful and trying to please Oswin have become a joke. This is how the previous monarch paved the way for the next generation!
"This is amazing." Li You sighed and said, "In other words, around this time, Ardashir should have received the invitation from Vesutiva I?"
"No, what I mean is that around this time, Ardashir had already received large-scale supplies from Vesutiva I." Zhuge Liang said with a faint smile.
Are you concerned about the thinking of Vasudeva I? No, no, no, Zhuge Liang was able to react quickly because he realized that if this step was carried out, Aldashir's combat effectiveness would soar to the level of surpassing Lao Cao in a short period of time. This is really good news.
"." Fazheng glanced at Zhuge Liang. Although this is true, when you say this, I always feel that you are not targeting Vesutiva I, but Cao Cao!
After all, if you want Aldashir to block Oswin's gun, then the best way is to give enough supplies when making a claim. This is inevitable, although Aldashir is willing to even just give a claim. Yes, but since you are a prince, you still have to get the minimum treatment, and you have to do a full show!
