Chapter 394 Heavy rain is coming
"Eastern tour? Your Majesty wants to personally conquer Bingzhou?" Fang Weihan asked.
Fang Zun shook his head: "Of course I want to cross the Changhe River directly into Bingzhou and burn down the Shangyuan City, but the current conditions of the court do not allow me to do this."
Hearing Fang Zun's determination to tour east, Fang Tang's mind moved slightly.
"Then...what does Your Majesty want?" she asked.
Fang Zun took off the huge map hanging on the wall and threw it on the ground. The jade shaft made a crisp collision and rolled down to reveal the full view of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"The Uehara Wang family has been running the Great Zhou for more than a thousand years, and their power can even compete with the imperial court. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the true masters of the Great Zhou."
"Now among the thirteen states of our Zhou Dynasty, Bingzhou is the heart of Wang family in Shangyuan, Youzhou and half of Jizhou are under the orders of Fanyang Lu family, Qingxu two states are deeply influenced by Pei family in Hedong, and as for Yizhou in the southwest of the earth... now The governor was Wang Yu, Wang Dun’s third brother.”
"As for the resources in our hands, the resources we can control are extremely limited. The only states and counties that really obey the orders of the Fang family's court... are probably Yongzhou, Liangzhou, and the countries in the Western Regions."
Fang Zun pointed at Tongguan and Changhe, drawing out the land west of the natural chasm.
Since taking over the affairs of the East Palace Guards, Fang Weihan has a deeper understanding of the current situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty. He understood that there was actually some moisture in Yongzhou and Liangzhou, which Fang Zun said was the area actually controlled by the imperial court.
The northern part of Yongzhou has just experienced ten consecutive years of raging bandits in Sheshan, and the people and material resources have been exhausted. However, Liangzhou is remote and remote, with only more than 300,000 households available, which is not even as good as a county in Yuzhou.
On the contrary, the countries in the Western Regions are a force that cannot be underestimated. Outside the Yumen Pass, these small foreign countries have shown a high degree of loyalty to the Zhou Dynasty, and have been involving the power of foreign races at the elbow and armpits.
"If Weihan hadn't won the support of Jianghuai and Henan families, our situation would be far worse than today." Fang Zun said with appreciation.
Fang Tang did not react at all.
The Henan Aristocratic Family...the Xie family of Chen County, huh, how did he win their support? By selling your body?
A trace of anger welled up in the girl's heart.
Our Fang royal family has great destiny for our country, when did we fall into such a state of decline? Why do you need to rely on this method to win the qualification to sit on the dragon throne?
She seemed to regard Fang Weihan as her compatriot.
"Weihan, how is your relationship with Xie's Youlan lately?" Fang Zun asked with a smile.
Fang Weihan was slightly startled and said, "As always."
"That's good. At least it can ensure that the Xie family of Chen County will still be on our side." Fang Zun changed the topic and seemed to mean something.
"However, your fiancée's recent actions have harmed the interests of many people within the Xie family, and there is no return in the short term. Therefore, many powerful figures in the family have criticized her."
Fang Weihan didn't know about this incident. Wanwan always reported good things to him but not bad things.
"I believe her." Fang Weihan said.
"The relationship between His Royal Highness Prince Guangling and his fiancée is so good, it is really enviable to others." Fang Tang said.
Fang Weihan couldn't help but glance at her sideways. The girl's face was calm and she had a smile on her lips, as if she was really congratulating her.
However, he still felt that he heard a strange smell.
"Haha... deep love and righteousness, this is a good thing." Fang Zun laughed.
He could tell that there seemed to be some problems in the atmosphere between the two, so he changed the topic without leaving any trace and got back to business.
"The Xie family of Chen County and the Zhou family of Runan hold the resources of Yuzhou, and Xie Lingyuan's recent management of Jingzhou and Yangzhou also allows them to take these two states under their control. If the Wang family of Langya and the Shen family of Wuchang are added to the With the strength of the imperial court, the size of the imperial court can barely be equal to that of the Heshuo family."
"So... the destination of my eastward tour this time is not Bingzhou, but Yecheng."
"Yecheng?" Fang Weihan frowned.
Why is Fang Zun going to Yecheng at this time?
If nothing else goes wrong, next year will be the first year of Taikang, and a shocking change is imminent. But at this juncture, he actually said that he would lead the Beiya Imperial Army to Yecheng?
In his memory script, it was clearly written that "the alien army came to Changming City, and the kings and ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty surrendered without a fight."
Could it be that the Taikang Incident happened after Fang Zundong returned from his tour? But if this is the case, what role did the Uehara Wang family play in it?
Many questions weighed on his mind, and Fang Weihan's thoughts were in chaos.
"Yecheng guards the heart of Jizhou. If you advance, you can invade Taihang Baxing. If you retreat, you can retreat across the long river as a barrier. The strategic position is extremely important." Fang Tang said.
Fang Zun nodded approvingly: "In addition, Yecheng is also a big city between the areas controlled by the Wang family in Shangyuan and the Lu family in Fanyang."
"There are recent rumors that the Fan Yang Lu family may be dissatisfied with the Uehara Wang family." Fang Zun said.
"Your Majesty wants to express his attitude?" Fang Tang seemed to understand.
"That's what I meant."
Fang Weihan also understood.
What Fang Zun means is that according to the current situation, the Uehara Wang family will not take the initiative to declare war on the Great Zhou court. Therefore, he was given the last space to maneuver.
This space is the Fan Yang Lu family.
As the most powerful military family among the Heshuo family, the Fanyang Lu family dominated Youzhou and commanded 60,000 Youzhou sudden cavalry. Their relationship with the Uehara Wang family had always been in a very delicate state.
If Fang Zun shows that Da Zhou is not willing to fight for a fight, then Fan Yang Lu may consider re-joining the team.
Fang Zun added: "During my tour to the east, I will appoint Princess Changming to supervise the regency of the country, and King Guangling to assist in the administration."
Supervise the country?
It seemed as if some inspiration flashed in Fang Weihan's mind, but it disappeared in just a moment, and he still had no clue.
"I will definitely live up to your majesty's trust." Fang Tang bowed and saluted.
Fang Weihan also saluted, and then talked about what happened in Tai Chi Hall today.
"Your Majesty, the Uehara Wang family is very likely to have secret contacts with foreign races."
"I know." Fang Zun said.
"But what can I do if I know? The Uehara Wang family's influence is too great. Even if I have relevant evidence in hand, I can't do anything to them."
Fang Zun turned around and polished the wick of the spiritual stone, causing the light in Yuanhui Hall to rise.
"A hundred-year-old wealthy family, a thousand-year-old family, if you want to deal with the Uehara Wang family, you still need to cut your flesh with a blunt knife, weakening its influence bit by bit many times."
"If there is no war, this is the only way."
Fang Weihan was silent.
"Then since they can induce the Helian tribe to enter, can they also..." He stopped talking.
Fang Zun's hand that was wiping the lampshade paused slightly and said:
"Ten or twenty thousand foreign troops can't change anything. If there are more foreign troops, they will definitely not be able to stop the world."
"If one day, the Great Zhou Dynasty ceases to exist, the Uehara Wang family will never be able to survive alone. People will not allow a traitorous family that betrays the country to rule the world."
This is a reason that Fang Weihan has never imagined.
Uehara Wang's switch led to outsiders, which was almost a devastating blow to his reputation. Under the national conditions of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is almost impossible for them to have any possibility of landing in the Ninth Five-Year Plan.
From this point of view...the Taikang Incident may not have much to do with the Uehara Wang family?
Fang Weihan overturned his previous guess, but fell into even greater confusion.
"But the aliens suffered setbacks and suffered heavy losses, so they may have a desire for revenge. We must guard against the Changyuan incident." Fang Weihan said.
Fang Zun looked at him deeply, then smiled and said:
"It seems that Weihan is not worried about our Changyuan defense line in Dazhou."
What he said was serious, and for a moment, Fang Weihan almost thought that Fang Zun knew what he was thinking.
But when he thought about it again, he thought it was impossible. This Fang Zun is not the magic stick of Linyuan Pavilion, so how can he get the ability to read minds?
So what does he mean?
Fang Zun...what does he know?
"The Changyuan defense line is like a golden soup. It will not fall for a thousand years, and it will protect the gods in the end." Fang Zun said.
"I'm a little tired, is there anything else?"
"Have."
Fang Weihan glanced at Fang Tang hesitantly, and Fang Tang returned his cold but sullen gaze.
"It doesn't matter, you should know better than me that she can be trusted." Fang Zun said with a smile.
Fang Weihan then spoke: "Fourth Uncle, do you know what the Kaiwu Covenant is?"
As soon as these words came out, except for him, the expressions of the two people present changed to varying degrees. Fang Tang frowned, obviously he had never heard of this thing.
Fang Zun, after being silent for a while, asked:
"Did Xie Lingwan tell you?"
Fang Weihan was secretly shocked.
As expected of an emperor, he guessed it so quickly.
Fang Weihan felt that there was nothing to hide from Fang Zun about this matter, so he simply explained it directly:
"That's right, but she didn't tell me the specific content, so I came to ask Fourth Uncle you."
"Oh, of course she won't tell you."
Fang Zun smiled noncommittally.
"Because she doesn't know the specific content. Maybe she just has a vague guess."
"Then fourth uncle..." Fang Weihan looked at him expectantly.
"I won't tell you either, because I can't." Fang Zun said.
Fang Weihan: "..."
"This is a secret. It was incorporated into the inheritance destiny of the Great Zhou Dynasty by Emperor Wu, and was handed over with the succession of emperors. I also learned about this from my father."
"If you want to know, I'm afraid you have to become emperor."
"Then forget it." Fang Weihan said angrily and had to give up.
Fang Tang's eyes flashed and he secretly remembered this matter.
"Okay, let's all go home to celebrate the New Year. Remember, just come to my place to pay New Year's greetings during the New Year." Fang Zun waved his hand.
"With such a large Fang royal family, I can only talk to you two."
Fang Weihan and Fang Tang were startled at the same time, nodded in agreement, and left Yuanhui Hall one after another.
The lights flickered on and off, sparse shadows lingered, the cold wind blew through the files on the case, and the papers turned, making a sound like walking on broken leaves.
"They are all gone, come out." Fang Zun said.
A man walked out of the shadows of the main hall. He had a lazy figure, long sideburns, and a beard that had not been trimmed for a long time, showing his dissolute and vicissitudes of life. Only the eyes on his face were burning, as if there was a temperature.
If Fang Weihan were here, he would definitely be shocked.
This person turned out to be the romantic second uncle he knew, Fang Xun.
"Did you hear that? That kid even knew about the martial arts covenant." Fang Zun said with a headache.
Fang Xun walked carelessly to Fang Zun's throne, poured himself a cup of tea with familiarity, sat down, and picked up the cup happily.
The movements were so familiar, it was obviously not the first time he had done this.
"What's the point? He doesn't know. Anyway, you never informed him when you did things. What's different this time?" Fang Xun said after taking a sip of tea.
"This time is different."
Fang Zun didn't care about his transgression.
"He is a man with blood and ideals. The blood in his chest is still not cold, and his heart is still warm."
"If your heart becomes cold, you will die." Fang Xun reminded lazily.
"What we have done is an act of changing destiny against nature. We are destined to be abandoned by all living beings and will not be tolerated by heaven and earth." Fang Zun said with his hands clasped.
"But do we have any other choice?" Fang Xun asked.
"The way of heaven is that those who are high should suppress it, those who are low should lift it up, those who have more will lose it, and those who have less will gain it."
Fang Zun whispered.
"Humanity is not like that. If the loss is not enough, there will be more than enough."
"The founding of the great Zhou Dynasty is unstable and its foundation is damaged. There are many who are deficient and few who have more. If we follow the humane way, the people will not be human and the country will not be a country."
Fang Xun took another sip of tea and said calmly:
"Who can have enough to serve the world? There is only Tao, the Tao of the country, the Tao of the emperor."
"This is our inevitable choice. Although the sin is in the present, the merit will be in the future."
Fang Zun was silent for a moment and said:
"When did you become so eloquent? Could it be that you learned it in a brothel?"
"What do you think?" Fang Xun was quite proud.
"You're not doing anything right, but you're still my brother." Fang Zun scolded and waved his hand casually.
"After the new year, you can go to the Western Regions."
Fang Xun put down his tea cup and calmed down.
He smiled solemnly and asked solemnly: "Have you thought about it?"
"I've thought about it." Fang Zun replied calmly.
"Our surname is Fang. We will eventually do something for the world. In this way, we are worthy of this surname."
The emperor of the empire stood upright, as straight as a soldier.
"I support you." Fang Xun whispered.
He stood up and disappeared like a ghost.
"After the new year, I'll come to say goodbye to you."
Fang Zun remained silent.
He tapped his knuckles on the window lattice.
"Your Majesty." Eunuch Xue appeared two steps behind him instantly.
This old eunuch with unfathomable cultivation is hunched over, and he still maintains a considerable degree of humility despite serving three generations of kings.
No matter how the empire changes, Eunuch Xue is only loyal to the emperor.
"Half a year ago, here too, I asked Shi Dangliu a question, and you were listening."
Fang Zun said.
"I asked him, do you think Fang Weihan is my nephew."
"He told me to think twice, hahahaha, this teacher... I really don't want to offend anyone, and he won't leave even a word to me."
Fang Zun laughed.
"You said, is he my nephew?"
"Your Majesty, you already have the answer in your mind, old slave...there is no need to say anything more." Eunuch Xue replied respectfully.
Fang Zun turned around and patted his shoulder hard.
"He did not disappoint me, he did not disappoint me after all!"
Fang Zun said in a deep voice:
"The fire is still burning, and I still have people who will succeed me. Until then, we still need to survive this dark rainstorm."
"Old slave, I understand." Eunuch Xue agreed with a smile.
