Chapter 342
Cao Tong said: "This time, the State of Qin defeated the State of Yan. I heard that they captured the Murong clan, and even adopted King Zhongshan of the State of Yan as a male favorite. It seems that the King of Qin is also an absurd emperor."

This matter happened to touch Cao Rui's heart, Cao Rui said: "Father's words are wrong, since I have lived in Chang'an for so long, I must have a certain understanding of King Qin Fu Jian."

"It is indeed absurd for him to accept King Zhongshan as a male favorite, but he and our King Jin are two completely different people."

"The king of Jin is very masculine, but the king of Qin is not lecherous, no matter male or female. The king of Qin, Fu Jian, is an emperor with extraordinary talents. He himself is brave and good at fighting. , can be called the reincarnation of Zhuge Kongming."

Cao Tong, Cao Guang, and Cao Xuan were quite surprised. Cao Tong asked: "So, the report in the capital is wrong, and this Fu Jian is very likely to become our enemy of Jin."

Cao Rui said seriously: "I can be sure that the next step is that Qin will conquer other countries in the north, and with Qin's strength, it will soon unify the entire north."

Cao Tong was horrified and said, "Aren't we in danger?"

Cao Rui said: "That's right, our state of Jin is in danger. When Fu Jian unifies the entire north, he will definitely attack our state of Jin. However, with the current national strength of Jin, there is no way to fight against it."

Cao Tong asked: "Then what should we do? Seeing that the enemy is expanding its territory step by step and its troops are increasing day by day, we should plan ahead!"

Cao Rui sighed and said, "Well, how do we plan? The bureaucracy in Jin is corrupt and the family system is strict. Talented people can't be promoted at all, and those in high positions are fighting for power internally every day. They don't know Qin Guo They are staring at us right now."

Cao Rui's words made Princess Linhai and his wife, as well as everyone present, nervous. This matter is of great importance and involves everyone present.

They now have no worries about food and clothing, all relying on Princess Linhai's royal status, but if the state of Jin disappears, they will all become subjugated slaves, and such days will never return.

Princess Linhai said: "Why don't I face the saint tomorrow and plan for you an official position that can advise your Majesty and do your best for the country?"

Cao Rui smiled wryly and said, "No matter what countermeasures I have, it is useless, because the power is not in the hands of His Majesty, but in the hands of Huan Wen."

Cao Rui was right, the emperor was just an empty emperor, the real power was in the hands of Huan Wen, and all his energy was spent on dealing with those who opposed him, and he had no time to care about other countries.

"To fight against the outside world, we must first settle down inside" is vividly reflected in him, and the struggle for power within the Jin State has never stopped.

In the past, there was Wang Dao who owned half of the country, and later the Yu clan separated power from Wang Dao. After finally clearing the Yu clan, Huan Wen suddenly rose again.

It really drove away the wolf and invited the tiger again.In the end, the current situation in which Huan Wen monopolizes power is formed.

Originally, His Majesty promoted Sima Yu to be in charge of the internal affairs of the King of Kuaiji against all opinions, and wanted to check and balance Huan Wen, but he did not expect that Huan Wen and Sima Yu would have sons and daughters.

It is no secret that Huan Wen doesn't like the current emperor, he has been looking for opportunities to abolish the current king.

Huan Wen's ambition is well known. He once said publicly: "Even if you can't live forever, you will still have a bad reputation!"

It's just that there is nothing wrong with King Jin's ineffectiveness, even if he is fatuous and incompetent, it cannot be used as a reason to abolish him.
