769: Black-hearted Couple (6)

Black-hearted Couple (6)

2Xie Jingxing was stunned.

"The war between the two countries has nothing to do with the people. Over the years, people of Ming Qi have been facing heavy taxes and natural disasters. They are having a hard time. The bureaucracy is ossified, and the officials are corrupt. The emperor is even more muddle-headed. He wants to kill all the families with meritorious service. In comparison, the people of the Daliang Dynasty live and work in peace and prosperity." Shen Miao said, "I know that Emperor Yong Le is a wise emperor. When he attacked other small countries, the people of other small countries opened the city gate to welcome him. Isn't that right?"

Xie Jingxing looked at Shen Miao deeply, but there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.

People said that women were the most short-sighted. They could only see what was in front of them and not the big picture. Xie Jingxing had once seen a woman with vision and knowledge, and that was his sister-in-law, Emperor Yong Le's wife, Empress Xian De. However, Empress Xian De came from a family of historians and was knowledgeable. Shen Miao was only 16 years old now. The furthest she had been was Spring City. Two years ago, she was even called a love-struck idiot. However, what Shen Miao said about the current situation was something that even most of Emperor Yong Le's aides could not come up with.

She did not treat herself as a citizen of a country, but stood at the height of history and analyzed the situation calmly.

There were not many people in the world who could see through things clear-mindedly, but this person was sitting in front of him. Xie Jingxing suddenly felt a little glad that he was the one who found this woman and Shen Miao was willing to tell him this.

Shen Miao did not know what Xie Jing was thinking. She had only heard Fu Xiuyi evaluate Emperor Yong Le and say that he was an eternal figure, a wise emperor. The original territory of the Daliang Dynasty was not as vast as today, especially after the late emperor of the Daliang Dynasty died. The country was once in chaos, but it was taken advantage of by other countries. Later, when Emperor Yong Le ascended the throne, he slowly started to take back his territory. Not only that, but he also started to annex the surrounding small countries. Emperor Yong Le was an extremely charismatic person and was popular with the people. Some small countries even looked forward to Emperor Yong Le annexing them to improve their difficult lives.

And Emperor Yong Le did it.

At that time, Shen Miao was very surprised about such a figure, and Fu Xiuyi was extremely afraid of Emperor Yong Le. Later, when Fu Ming was studying history, he also read about this figure and discussed it with Shen Miao excitedly, so Shen Miao remembered him very well.

Xie Jingxing paused for a moment and said unhappily, "Why do you remember the things he did so well?"

Shen Miao was speechless.

She said, "I'm just trying to protect myself. If the royal family is in charge, the Shen family will sooner or later be wiped out. The emperor is heartless, so there's naturally no need for officials to be loyal to him, right?"

"Then how do you know that Emperor Yong Le won't be the second Emperor Wen Hui and won't take the Shen family down?" Xie Jingxing asked.

"I heard that Emperor Yong Le has a general surnamed Li by his side. His fate is very similar to that of the Shen family, but the Li family is treated well by Emperor Yong Le. My father's military strength is not as good as that of General Li, so there's no need to worry about my father being targeted first." Shen Miao thought to herself that in her previous life, before she died, General Li and his family were still living very well.

Xie Jingxing was stunned. "How do you know there's a General Li?"

Shen Miao's heart skipped a beat. She had forgotten that she was now the daughter of the Shen family, so it was naturally impossible for her to know such a figure as General Li. However, she still had to hide it. She said, "General Li is very famous. It's not surprising for people in Ming Qi to know him."

"Famous?" Xie Jingxing frowned. "As famous as me?"

Shen Miao didn't want to talk to him about this anymore. "Let's not talk about this anymore. Since we want to deal with Ming Qi in the end, we naturally can't let the State of Qin form an alliance with Ming Qi. If that happens, it will be troublesome to the Daliang Dynasty. Aren't you staying in the capital to break up their alliance?"

Xie Jingxing smiled. "What's what a good wife should do, being considerate of her husband."

Shen Miao ignored him and said, "There's a good way to break up their alliance. It depends on whether you can do it or not."

Xie Jingxing smiled. "Tell me about it."

"Murder, robbery, framing, and slander." She smiled gently and demurely. "It's best if you don't leave any evidence."
