Chapter 287 Wushuang, you can become a good monarch
After Ye Wuwei sat down, Qi Wushuang began to boil water and make tea for Ye Wuwei.
Qi Wushuang himself doesn't like tea, he just drinks it following Ye Wuwei.
Chu Fuchi also sat down opposite the two of them.
Ye Wuwei spoke:
"The death of the five hundred embroidered uniform guards is not the key point. The key point is that we cannot admit that we allowed Humuhan to kill the five hundred embroidered uniform guards in exchange for 50,000 dan of rice.
When the Embroidered Uniform Guard went to the north, Wushuang was investigating a human trafficking case in Anping County. On his way back, Wushuang encountered three assassination attempts.
Chu Fuchi's eyes lit up:
"You mean it was five hundred Embroidered Uniform Guards who assassinated Wushuang?"
“This is also the only solution.
Let’s say we encountered the assassins at that time. We didn’t know that they were the Embroidered Uniform Guards, so we killed them in self-defense.
It was only later that I found out that the other party was from the Embroidered Uniform Guard."
Chu Fuchi thought for a moment:
“This reason makes sense, since the former emperor tried to assassinate Wushuang many times.
Just say we had no idea that the 500 Embroidered Uniform Guards had gone to the North, and that the letter offering 50,000 dan of rice in exchange was a forgery."
"Well, the people don't care whether the five hundred Embroidered Uniform Guards are dead or alive. What they care about is the fifty thousand dan of rice.
That’s life for them.”
"By the way, we can also publicize Pei Qing's adultery with Concubine Yuwen's cousin's wife, and Grand Tutor Yuwen's request to disband the Embroidered Uniform Guard."
"Well, let the people figure out for themselves why Pei Qing was willing to perjure himself for Grand Tutor Yuwen."
The people love to spread such gossip the most. They will automatically think that it was because Master Yuwen agreed to marry Concubine Yuwen's cousin's wife to Pei Qing that Pei Qing gave false testimony for Master Yuwen.
At this time, the water boiled, and Qi Wushuang picked up the kettle to make tea for Ye Wuwei.
Qi Wushuang brought a cup of tea to Ye Wuwei: "It's hot, drink it later."
Looking at Qi Wushuang who had been motionless after pouring a cup of tea for Ye Wuwei, Chu Fuchi resigned himself to his fate and poured himself a cup of tea.
The other matters were roughly agreed upon, leaving only Qi Wushuang's rebellion and killing of the previous emperor.
"I think we should not argue about this matter. We should take the initiative before the news of Yuwen Taishi's uprising spreads.
A notice will be posted in Qamdo tomorrow:
Make public all the evidence given to us by Senior Ye, the secret agreement signed between the former emperor and the Great Prince of the North, the cause of death diagnosed by the imperial physician, and the will of Emperor Jingzheng.
As for the news of Yuwen Taishi's uprising, when it reached Chamdo, the people of Chamdo would have a preconceived notion that Yuwen Taishi and his men were being framed.
In addition to Qamdo, other prefectures and counties should also post similar notices.”
Chu Fuchi continued:
"Chamdo and the northern cities are easy to deal with, but the key lies in the southern cities.
The rumors Pei Qing had framed Wushuang might have spread throughout the southern cities, and in the eyes of the southern people, Wushuang might have become a villain."
“That can’t be helped.
Wushuang's influence is only in the north. To the people in the south, Wushuang is no different from a stranger. He can only gain fame by granting benevolent policies in the future.
But this takes time and cannot be achieved overnight.
However, Wushuang cannot allow others to throw mud at him, and he still has to refute what is necessary.
Having said that, I think it’s time to start building Changdong New City.”
Chu Fuchi pondered Ye Wuwei's words for a while, then said:
“I know what to do.
I will contact the cabinet members now to work out detailed measures and implement them tomorrow."
Chu Fuchi left with the "evidence" compiled by Ye Wuwei.
After Chu Fuchi left, Ye Wuwei stood up and stretched, "I'm so tired."
Qi Wushuang put his arm around Ye Wuwei's shoulders and said, "Let's take a nap."
Ye Wuwei glanced at Qi Wushuang and asked, "You still want to take a nap?"
"Hasn't everything been arranged? Fu Chi and the others will handle it."
"Why don't you just give the throne to Chu Fuchi?"
"There's nothing wrong with that."
Ye Wuwei looked at Qi Wushuang carefully and asked, "Are you serious?"
"If he hadn't pushed me into a desperate situation, I would never have thought of becoming the emperor.
In fact, I also know that I am not suitable to be the emperor, but because I am the son of my father and I hold power, the throne can only be sat by me.
If anyone else becomes emperor, the Qi Dynasty will only be in turmoil."
Hearing Qi Wushuang's insightful words, Ye Wuwei sighed:
"Since you know that you are the only one who can sit on the throne of the Qi Dynasty, don't say you don't want to be the emperor anymore.
As you said, there may be someone who is more suitable to be the emperor than you, but he is not a descendant of the Qi family, and he cannot convince the people!
As a descendant of the Qi family and the son of Emperor Jingzheng, you should assume the corresponding responsibilities.
In fact, there were only a very few truly wise rulers in history, a few incompetent rulers, and the rest were mediocre emperors.
I think you still have the potential to be a wise ruler:
You have noble character.
You are upright, tolerant, kind, fair and selfless, and respect the law.
You have the ability to govern the country.
You are good at selecting talented people and are willing to establish a fair selection mechanism to allow talents to display their talents.
You can also formulate reasonable policies based on the actual situation of the Qi Dynasty to promote economic development, social stability and improve people's living standards.
You are willing to understand the needs and sufferings of the people and are committed to improving people's livelihood.
Like Andu, you govern well."
Qi Wushuang grabbed Ye Wuwei's fingers and played with them again, his eyes fixed on them:
"Is this a good thing for you?"
Ye Wuwei held Qi Wushuang's hand with his backhand, "Wushuang, look at me."
Qi Wushuang looked at Ye Wuwei.
Ye Wuwei looked into Qi Wushuang's eyes and said firmly:
“Wushuang, you are really good.
I am willing to do my best to help you not only because you are unparalleled, but also because you can become a good monarch."
"Then will you always stay with me?"
"I will always be with you, and together we will witness the prosperity of the Qi Dynasty, and the peace and prosperity of the country and the people!"
