Several people looked at the prince intently, and then spoke after a moment.
"It stands to reason that the Galuchin Hetao is such an important place. If I can think of it, why haven't Yang Wenyuan and the others discovered it?"
Lu Liang smiled when he heard this.
"Your Highness, it's not that they didn't think of it, it's just that they didn't want to do it."
"Why?"
"It's actually very easy to understand..."
After Lu Liang and Balabala talked a lot, Liu Qi finally understood.
In fact, the conflict between himself and Yang Wenyuan was not due to his position as the prince, nor was it mainly due to his difficulty in controlling himself.
The main reason is because of differences in concepts.
For these old nobles of the imperial court, they want only two words: "stability"
This stability does not mean that nothing happens to the court and everything is peaceful in Daqing. Rather, they must maintain the original system so that they can enjoy the high-ranking officials and generous salaries given to them by the court.
Liu Qi's change was like a sardine, breaking the silence. It can also be said that Yang Wenyuan and his party felt the threat of changing the old system.
This is why Yang Wenyuan and his party are eager to have Liu Qi step down. Because Liu Qi is not someone who is willing to completely follow their suggestions.
In this way, Liu Qi will definitely make many decisions differently from them when he takes office in the future.
When there are differences in political opinions, Liu Qi will inevitably favor courtiers who support his political opinions.
Gradually, these old heroes of the imperial court will be replaced layer by layer because they are inconsistent with Liu Qi's intentions, threatening their current status.
Can't we just be of the same mind as Liu Qi?
Really can't.
For a long time, the system run by Jiuxun has been deeply ingrained and penetrated into their bones.
Deep in their hearts, only in this way can they ensure the stability of Daqing and ensure that they still have the final say in the court.
Change means they have to accept new systems and uncontrollable situations.
It is easy to be conservative but difficult to innovate.
For a person who often plays with swords, it must be very difficult for him to suddenly start playing with swords.
It's like a master starting from a novice. Do you think you have experience and a solid foundation? Yes, but if you say that compared with those who have been playing with knives, they will definitely be unable to catch up. To put it bluntly, they are lagging behind.
Therefore, in the minds of Yang Wenyuan and other "swordsmen", rather than solving this problem, it is better to solve the problem in the simplest way.
Liu Qi sighed helplessly.
There is no other way, either, just become a puppet at the mercy of Yang Wenyuan and others.
Or be a real monarch, a monarch who can make the final decision for himself!
This is a contradiction that no one can reconcile.
This is also a problem that Liu Qi must face!
"I know, these are all fine, just solve them slowly."
"The trouble is, this time my father insists on letting me bring the fourth prince and Yan Wenhu with me."
"However, I have also thought that this is actually a kind of protection from my father. If this battle fails, I will not be the only one who takes the blame."
However, Lu Liang had a different view at this time.
"Your Highness, the emperor's actions are quite clever. His purpose is not only to protect you, but also to protect the fourth prince."
Liu Qi was a little confused.
"how do I say this?"
"Your Highness is at odds with the fourth prince. This is known to many people, and the emperor naturally knows it well. The reason why I let you take him with you this time is that I hope that the relationship between you can be improved because of this war. Eased."
At this time, Liu Qi suddenly thought of something.
"Tell me, could it be that my father has some ideas and wants to make Liu Yin the crown prince?"
Lu Liang smiled and shook his head.
"No, according to what I see, if the emperor wants the fourth prince to be the crown prince, it is completely unnecessary for His Highness to go on an expedition this time and let him go with him."
"The reason why I let you take him is because I hope you can win this battle. In this way, the fourth prince will follow and gain some achievements."
"The fourth prince will be crowned next year. With such achievements, it is logical that he will be granted a suitable throne."
"It's also possible that the fourth prince is good at martial arts and aspires to be a general. In this case, if you two can have a good relationship, he can become an effective general for you in the future."
If you say this, your father's intentions are indeed far-reaching.
This made Liu Qi suddenly think of what his father had told him in the announcement room before: no matter what happened in the future, he must love his brother.
But Qin Wei was a little confused at this time.
"Then why do you still need to take Yan Wenhu with you?"
"Although he belongs to Yang Wenyuan, he is not a big shot in their party. Even if the prince fails in the expedition, Yan Wenhu will be held accountable. It is not a pity for them, right?"
Liu Qi smiled.
"Yan Wenhu's role is not only as a protective talisman, but he is not even qualified to be a protective talisman."
"According to what I see, the reason why my father asked me to take him is because he wanted someone from Yang Wenyuan's party to be involved in this matter."
"Secondly, I want this king to be able to observe Yang Wenyuan's purpose through Yan Wenhu."
After saying that, Lu Liang cupped his hands.
"Your Highness is wise!"
"Yes, Yan Wenhu is not of great importance, but following His Highness on this expedition, he is bound to receive some instructions from Yang Wenyuan and the others."
"At least we know in our hearts that he belongs to Yang Wenyuan, and we will take more precautions. It is always better than someone who stumbles us in the dark."
"However, even so, His Highness still needs to be careful. After all, Yang Wenyuan is not that simple."
Liu Qi smiled and nodded.
"That's natural. Yang Wenyuan may have already understood what we can think of."
"When the soldiers come, they will cover up the water and the earth. No matter what tricks they play, I, the king, will take care of it when the time comes."
Bai Qi, who had remained silent, frowned slightly.
"Your Highness, it's easy to handle matters outside with you here, but once you leave, how will the matters within the court be handled?"
Bai Qi said it politely. Liu Qi knew that what he meant was, what if Yang Wenyuan and the others were doing something behind their back?
This is indeed a problem.
From the history I know, there are countless cases of stabbing people in the back, and General Yue's is a clear example.
Liu Qi did not answer immediately, and his indifferent look made Qin Wei look worried.
After a while, he finally spoke.
But what he said made not only Qin Wei, but also Bai Qi and Lu Liang confused.
"The Moon Worship Festival is coming soon."
