Joy of Life: I dressed as a woman and became the Queen of Northern Qi!

Chapter 248: Ashamed of our ancestor Zhan Doudou, who exactly is Guiguzi Wang Xu?

The study room.

After the court session, Zhan Doudou dragged Chen Luo back to the Shangshu room without stopping. As soon as the door was closed, she threw herself into Chen Luo's arms and sobbed silently.

Chen Luo didn't say anything, but just held her waist and let her vent her emotions.

Shang Yang’s words today directly revealed the true situation of Northern Qi. The blow to Doudou can be imagined!

But he did not blame Shang Yang. This matter would not disappear if it was not mentioned. Zhan Doudou would know it sooner or later!

And everything they are doing now is to solve this problem!

Zhan Doudou cried for a long time, and even soaked Chen Luo's phoenix robe with tears. She raised her head with red eyes and asked expectantly:
"Luo'er, is Northern Qi really finished? Then what's the point of our efforts for so long?"

"Will the reform really work? Can Northern Qi hold out until the reform succeeds?"

"If Northern Qi is destroyed in my hands, how can I face my father? How can I face the people? How can I face my ancestors?"

As she spoke, Zhan Doudou started crying again, even harder than before.

She had only been in power for a short time, and she couldn't see how big the problems in Northern Qi were, because all the problems were easily resolved by Chen Luo, giving her a feeling that nothing was a big deal!

But what Shang Yang said today made her realize that the Northern Qi Dynasty was not peaceful, but she did not see it, and no one was willing to tell her!

The real Northern Qi had already been in turmoil, and even Chen Luo had no way to solve the problem!

Only by taking risks and carrying out reforms can Northern Qi be given a chance to survive!
But reform is not something that can be done overnight!

She believed that Chen Luo could succeed in his reform, but she was afraid that Northern Qi would be finished before the reform was successful. What would be the point of everything they did then?
How could she, a king of a fallen nation, have the face to meet her ancestors? To meet the people of Northern Qi? To meet the soldiers who were willing to die on the battlefield to defend Northern Qi?

Although the fall of Northern Qi was not her fault, if she had not disguised herself as a man and pretended to be at odds with the Queen Mother in order to conceal her identity, she would have exhausted the last bit of Northern Qi's resources!
Then Northern Qi would not have perished!

What's more, Northern Qi was destroyed in her hands. She was the king who lost the country. She must bear the eternal infamy and bear all the faults!

But she was not afraid of these. She was only afraid that she would let down the expectations of the people and soldiers, and that she would let down Chen Luo's efforts!
"In fact, the reform had already begun long before, and now it is just put on the table!"

"Earlier, the Imperial Guards cleaned up the ministers in the court and removed the connections of the major families in the court. At the same time, they also frightened those who had ulterior motives!"

"Now the ministers in the court have basically been replaced. These ministers do not have complicated forces. We can ignore their opinions. At worst, we can just replace them. That's fine!"

"The rest are the common people and the aristocratic families. The common people are easy to deal with. As long as they feel the benefits of the reform, they will support it!"

"The aristocratic families are the real obstacle. The reason Shang Yang is making such a fuss in the court today is to attract the attention of the aristocratic families and the people, and then guide them to stop the reform!"

"Then we can counter each move and complete the reform without anyone noticing. By the time the aristocratic families realize something is wrong, it will be too late!"

"Now that everything is out in the open, it will be easier to do things!"

Chen Luo wiped Zhan Doudou's tears while explaining the situation to her.

What Shang Yang said in the court today was not false, it was indeed true!
But things aren’t really that bad!

He had been preparing for reform a long time ago!

At that time, he just felt that the two-prime minister and six-department system was completely undermining the emperor's power, and that problems would arise sooner or later! In order to centralize the imperial power, he prepared for the reform in advance!
It's just that now, the reason for the reform has changed from wanting to centralize the imperial power to allowing Northern Qi to regain vitality!
Northern Qi is his root in this world, it can't just disappear like this!

"So that's it!"

"No wonder Mr. Shang Yang said those words in the Qinzheng Hall!"

After hearing Chen Luo's explanation, Zhan Doudou wiped away her tears and nodded in understanding.

Although Chen Luo did not elaborate, she guessed it to some extent!

Shang Yang made a scene in the court today, but not only was he not punished, he was even made the left prime minister!
This is equivalent to telling the aristocratic families and the common people that she and Chen Luo both support the reform!

In this case, the aristocratic families and ministers will definitely find ways to stop the reform!

With the presence of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, they did not dare to take direct action against Shang Yang and Wang Xu. They could only make things difficult for them and trip them up!
Their reforms will not be able to proceed smoothly!

Then Shang Yang and Wang Xu can counter these moves and remove all the obstacles set by these people!
Time and again, as long as we attract the attention of these people, make them keep tripping us up, and make them think that we are stopping the reform, then they will not take any big action!
By the time the aristocratic families and ministers realized that something was wrong, the reform had come to an end!
By then, the reform of Northern Qi will be completed!

"Mr. Shang Yang is truly a genius. He can come up with such a brilliant idea!"

"I guess Guiguzi Wang Xu is no ordinary person, right?"

"Otherwise, Luo'er, why did you let him be the right prime minister, and Wang Xu be the left prime minister?"

Knowing that Northern Qi could be saved, Zhan Doudou calmed down and leaned in Chen Luo's arms to continue asking questions about his doubts.

Since ancient times, the right has been respected throughout the world. Although the left and right prime ministers have the same power and rank!

But in the eyes of some people, the right prime minister is more powerful than the left prime minister!

Today was the first time she met Shang Yang and Wang Xu, and she only knew that these two were great talents!
Now she has seen some of Shang Yang's talents, but she has seen nothing of Wang Xu!
She had never even heard Wang Xu speak!
She was very curious about what abilities Guiguzi Wang Xu had.
Is he even more powerful than Shang Yang?
Otherwise, why would Chen Luo let Guiguzi and Wang Xu be the right prime minister and Shang Yang be the left prime minister?

"When one is angry, all the princes are afraid, and when one is at peace, the whole world is extinguished!"

"You will know how talented Guiguzi Wang Xu is in the future!"

"His talents and abilities are beyond your imagination!"

Chen Luo smiled mysteriously and did not answer Zhan Doudou's question.

Guiguzi Wang Xu was his biggest helper in this reform and the real leader of this reform, while Shang Yang was the executor!
With Guiguzi and Wang Xu here, reform will be extremely easy!

It might even be so fast that he couldn't even predict it!

"If one is angry, all the princes will be afraid, and if the world is at peace, will it be extinguished?"

"Is this sentence referring to Guiguzi Wang Xu? Why haven't I heard of this person?"

After hearing Chen Luo's high evaluation, Zhan Doudou became even more curious about Guiguzi Wang Xu.

But Chen Luo just smiled and didn't answer his questions, no matter how she asked!

In the end, Zhan Doudou had no choice but to give up asking and instead look forward to what abilities Guiguzi Wang Xu had!
The greater the abilities of Wang Xu and Shang Yang, the higher the chances of success of the reform!
