Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 697

The council hall synthesized the news about Chenla and Champa, and Pan Mei reported to Luo Youdu.

Luo Youdu took the letter in his hand, read it carefully, saw the internal problems of the two countries, and smiled heartily: "The matter in the south is settled."

He naturally also saw the meaning behind these two letters.

In particular, taking advantage of the situation to garrison troops in Chenla can stabilize the situation in the south.

Chenla is located at the core of Southeast Asia, and the territory of Southeast Asia is so large. If you want to have a big country that affects the situation, you cannot escape the way of occupying Chenla.

With the Yu Dynasty stationed in the Chenla Kingdom, it is impossible for Southeast Asia to have a southern power like the Angkor Dynasty in history. As long as the imperial court's control is not weakened to a certain extent, the South China Sea will be China's back garden.

He looked at the meeting room's suggestion of agreeing to station troops in Chenla, and looked at Pan Mei with some relief, "Isn't it your idea to build a military camp in Chenla?"

Pan Mei bowed slightly, and said, "It's my humble opinion."

Luo Youdu said: "I knew that only Zhongxun had such foresight. But Xiang, Zeping, and Duoxun are all heroes in this world, but they are still restricted by the old times when they see it from the outside world. Only Zhongxun's pioneering heart can make such a suggestion. .” He looked down and asked, “I’m a director in the Council Hall, is everything going well?”

Luo Youdu knew in his heart that if Pan Mei could speak out at this moment, the matter would definitely be close, so he said, "It's really worth having an extra drink!"

Today, Luo Youdu happily brought a piece of news to Xiao Yilan.

However, literati attach great importance to this aspect. Not to mention that they are unwilling to share with warriors, they even reject their own people, and even set an unwritten rule internally.

Luo Youdu has no doubt that the power of civil servants in the future will surpass that of military officials, which is unavoidable for anyone.

What he represents is no longer himself.

Facing the economically booming Dayu court, a group of second-generation officials and generals with great potential were indeed born, such as Kou Zhun, Li Jilong, Yin Jilun, and Jing Si, but more of them were mediocre people.

The Privy Council is responsible for receiving and issuing military orders, and the news from the front reaches the Privy Council first.Emergency military information is naturally heard directly from heaven, but for this kind of insignificant war, it is not reported until there is a result.

Jealousy and mutual comparison abound.

But in fact, given the current situation, it is reasonable for Yang Guangmei to escort Yang to Liangzhou to get married. Why does Li Jilong come in person?

Because of Xiao Chuo's relationship, Xiao Yilan easily became a familiar face in the harem, and got the kindness of everyone except Zhou Ehuang.

As the prime minister of Dayu, he has a certain understanding of Dayu's future.

Luo Youdu said angrily: "If it wasn't for the fear that Zheng Yuan would think too much, I would have the heart to call him to Bianjing to scold him. If you don't wait in the frontier, sending your son here, isn't it ruining people!"

Now one is the governor of Liangzhou, and the other is the commander of the Xiaoshun Army. The gap is self-evident.

Pan Meidao: "Zhao Xiang and Lu Xiangxiang take good care of my ministers. Dou Xiangqing is elegant and elegant. Although he doesn't like my ministers, he doesn't make things difficult. Xue Xiang is a friendly person. He has introduced temple officials to his ministers many times, invited his ministers to various gatherings, and helped his ministers. Met a lot of people."

Generally speaking, land and water advance side by side, and the sword points to the west.

Luo Youdu waved and said with a smile: "You and I drink and talk in private, there's no need to do that."

Pan Mei would never refuse, she looked honored and said, "Actually, there is another happy event that has not been announced yet."

The status of his family has risen with the tide, and under the endless flattery and flattery of others, Pan Mei's sons are far more unbearable than history has shown.

Letting Pan Mei enter the prime minister is a test, and it is also a consolidation of the power of future military officials.

As for what will happen next, Luo Youdu does not know.

Pan Meidao: "Ai Nu people are arrogant and xenophobic. They didn't negotiate with us sincerely, and they meant to probe the bottom. Dudu Lin's army was pressing down on the border. Looking at our naval ships, Ai Nu people were completely frightened. Yes. According to news reports, the Ainu people went south to attack the Japanese people on rafts, and there were not many boats. Where have you seen the sea ships covering the sky? Frightened and knelt down on the ground, praying for safety. As for the remaining Japanese troops , They were terrified of killing Ai Nuren, and they had long intended to surrender. It’s just that everything has not yet been settled, and the Privy Council has not reported it.”

No matter how much the balance between civil and military is maintained, the power of civil servants will definitely overwhelm military officials in the future, especially the right to speak above the temple.

Luo Youdu also knows that drinking and talking does not involve personal matters, but focuses on state affairs.

Drinking with Pan Mei is actually not fun.

Ai Nuren really doesn't know how to play, so let's push along with him.

Negotiations with the Ai Nuren of the Ezo Kingdom have also made progress due to language barriers.

Faced with this situation, how easy is it for a military official to become a prime minister?
Song Qi made a fuss this time, but instead gave Luo Youdu Saipan a chance to be photographed beautifully.

Luo Youdu looked at the way the meeting hall dealt with Suyevarman, the prince of Shanmaling, and exiled the land of Wodi Ishimi Yinshan.

He even suspected that someone was quietly using Pan Mei's son to deal with Pan Mei, the military prime minister.

With the support of the Dayu imperial court, Li Chuyun suppressed Xizhou Uighurs and the Cao family's return to the rebel army from the outside, and turned Tubo from the inside, allowing the voice of Han to resound in the land of Liangzhou again, stabilizing the situation in the west, and it is no exaggeration to call him an uncrowned king.

Luo Youdu said: "When I used him and appointed him as the governor of a government, I would not doubt him. It's unnecessary!"

Therefore, two months ago, Luo Youdu had asked the Privy Council to issue an order to let Lin Renzhao, who was in Libin (Vladivostok), take advantage of the time when the Ainu slaughtered the Japanese, and directly cross the sea to Ezo (Hokkaido).

The countries in the South China Sea can't turn up the wind and waves now, and Luo Youdu is not afraid of Suryavarman, but he is not stingy about killing the other party if he can move his toes to destroy the hidden danger.

The Ainu people have been trapped in Hokkaido for a long time, and their ancestors have been fighting against the Japanese country for generations. They are like frogs sitting in a well watching the sky, not knowing how high the sky is and how thick the earth is.

The current situation in the Western Regions is tense, and the war between the Karahan Dynasty and Khotan is imminent.

However, Li Chuyun did not lose his word because of the change in his status, and asked his son Wanli to marry Yang.

At this critical moment, Li Chuyun went to the imperial court to let his son Li Jilong enter Beijing for the purpose of marrying Yang Guangmei's daughter.

Luo Youdu remembered that the other party was one of the three Cambodian god kings who pushed the Angkor Dynasty to its peak in history. In later generations, he also followed his friends to the sky palace built by Suryavarman.

In history, none of Pan Mei's sons was able to take on great responsibilities. With Pan Mei's status, she didn't leave a single word of deeds, which can be seen.

The environment in Mobei is harsh and the situation is complicated. Xiao Hunian led the tribe under his command to guard Mobei until the establishment of the two cities of Guyan and Yanran, and Mobei was officially renamed Hanhai.

Satisfied with food and drink, Luo Youdu returned to the back garden with a bit of drunkenness. After calculating the time, he had to go to Xiao Yilan's house today.

Luo Youdu said with emotion: "In your generation, you, Zhongxun, and Guohua and Zhengyuan are the people I have single-handedly selected and trusted most. They are all first-class heroes in the world. If you really want to reserve a seat, Zhongxun Can be the first."

He didn't understand the language at first, and he didn't know how powerful Dayu was now, so he wasn't keen on surrendering.

Luo Youdu said so, but he was still a little happy in his heart.

There were many princes in the Dayu Dynasty, and Jiedu made more martial arts at various levels, but the only ones who really served as the governor and had power over civil and military affairs were Pan Mei, the former governor of Guangzhou, and Li Chuyun, the current governor of Liangzhou.

Their abilities are ordinary, but their families have strength and financial resources, they are born superior, and have a special sense of superiority.

Li Chuyun, who has been in Liangzhou for a long time, must be the coach of the army.

Luo Youdu sent Yelu Xiezhen and Yelu Xiuge to Liangzhou and Hehuang to consolidate the power of the West.

Luo Youdu thought for a while and said: "I guess, but the Eastern Japanese country?"

The larger the territory, the more civil servants are needed.

Pan Mei hurriedly said: "At present, there is no report from the Privy Council in the future, maybe it was delayed on the way."

As Li Chuyun was favored by Luo Youdu and his status rose, the development prospects of Li Chuyun and Yang Guangmei were very different.

"Aifei!" Luo Youdu pulled Xiao Yilan, put one arm around her waist, and said, "In another month, your eldest sister will return to Bianjing, and the three of you sisters will be reunited by then."

Water refers to the water silk road, and land refers to the land silk road.

This is also the reason why Zhao Pu has always been despised. As far as Zhao Pu's education level is concerned, it is easier to let him enter the Jinshi exam than to give him a knife to fight the enemy and gain his background.

Yang Guangmei is a commander of the Guards' Pro-Army Division. When Li Chuyun was working under Li Jixun's command, he was a good friend together, and he set up a son and daughter in-laws.

Luo Youdu already wanted to hit Pan Mei, but this hammer couldn't hit Pan Mei.

Pan Mei wants to resign.

The Wuchen Wuchen in the temple must occupy at least one or two seats.

It's one thing to believe in you, but it's another thing to express your stance in the face of this belief.

People are that complicated.

In the end, Pan Weide and Pan Weigu did not live up to their expectations in this matter, and Luo Youdu didn't need to do too much, a little bit of Pan Mei was enough.

Zhao Pu and Lu Duoxun have always followed suit, Xue Ju is just a good guy, so it doesn't make much sense for Dou Yi to object.

With the strength of the Wa Kingdom, it is worth drinking an extra cup.

What's more, Luo Youdu understands Dou Yi's temperament. He doesn't support it because he is worried about military generals intervening in politics. History repeats itself. If the bottom line is not involved, he will not rashly resist.

Pan Mei didn't say that he was wrong behind his back, but that he understood Luo Youdu's mind, and explained the other four reactions to him.

Fighting the world requires warriors, while governing the world depends on civil servants.

Luo Youdu heard many similar talks from Xiao Chuo, among them was about Pan Mei's second son Pan Weigu fighting with the National People's Congress in the brothel.

With the current strength of the Dayu court's martial arts, neither cup is worth it.

Luo Youdu didn't intend to force the military officials to compete with civil servants in the temple.There are specializations in the art industry, except for a few top figures who are all-rounder in civil and military affairs, few military generals in the world of governance can compare with literati.However, military officials must have their own place to speak in the temple, and civil servants cannot control right and wrong.

Pan Mei didn't dare to say more, he knew that Li Chuyun sent Li Jilong here at this time, probably because he meant to be a hostage.

But if Song Qi was here, he would definitely take the lead in opposing Pan Mei's entry into the prime minister, even if the two of them worked together in the Imperial Army Division and had a good relationship.

Pan Mei was surprised, and without hesitation, she agreed.

Pan Mei was shocked when she heard the words, and hurriedly attended and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your warning."

Luo Youdu nodded in satisfaction, the reactions of Zhao Pu, Lu Duoxun, Dou Yi, and Xue Juzheng were not beyond his control.

He thought about it for a while and said, "This person will be killed."

After all, the two were in a subordinate relationship from the beginning, and now they are even more of a monarch and minister. He is resourceful and resourceful, and he is naturally cautious when dealing with the current emperor.

There are no big mistakes, but there are many small mistakes.

He said casually: "Li Jilong hasn't entered Beijing yet?"

Luo Youdu thought of something, and said: "Zhongxun is not in a hurry to leave, everything in the court is on the right track, and now the south is safe and sound, I am happy in my heart, you stay and have a few drinks with me. It's a pity that Guohua is not here, so I can't make it One round."

Although Pan Mei is not the traitor Pan Renmei in the novel, she is not easy to deal with...

For them, Luo Youdu has lost patience. He intends to use the Ainu people to suppress the Japanese, which slows down the process of flattening the Japanese kingdom.

Xiao Yilan entered the palace as a matter of course and was canonized as Jieyu.

"However..." Luo Youdu said pointedly: "The three of you each have their own strengths, but in future generations, Zhengyuan may be ahead of you. Although Li Jilong is young, he has the demeanor of a general, and his future will not be inferior. As for his father, on the contrary you and others, state affairs are as important as family affairs. Don’t neglect the teaching of your children for the sake of state affairs.”

In addition, after Pan Mei's death, another incident happened. During Song Zhenzong's Zhao Heng period, Zhao Heng sent his servant Lan Jizong to decide on Pan Mei's family's wealth and order Junji. It can be seen that Pan Mei's descendants have quarreled with the emperor in order to fight for the family property. .

Just like the ancestors of Genghis Khan, regardless of whether there will be Kimmujin and Silvermujin in the future, there will be no Temujin anyway.

As for Zhou Ehuang, he was an aloof existence. Apart from having basic respect for the empress Fu Qing'er, he treated everyone the same.

Even Chen Chuyao, who was responsible for the important task, was only the governor of Jilin Prefecture, and the position of governor was vacant, leaving it to the future prince.

Pan Mei was happy in her heart, when they were together, the three of them had a lot of rivalry, now that they are getting older, and they have their own things, many things don't matter anymore, but hearing Luo Youdu mention it at this moment, it is inevitable to be happy.

Li Chuyun has been operating in Liangzhou for many years. In a place where the Tuboization of the poor mountains and rivers is serious, and the contact between Eastern and Western cultures is fierce, Luo Youdu gave Li Chuyun great power, even the right to life and death.

Now Pan Mei, as the first military prime minister of the Dayu court, is far superior to the unlucky guy who took the blame for the chariot god Zhao Kuangyi in history.

Just like Xiao Hunian in history, she was still a daughter, and the tribes in Mobei couldn't lift their heads or straighten their waists, so she returned it.

A gleam of joy flashed in Xiao Yilan's eyes, and then he said meaningfully: "I must also congratulate Your Majesty."

Luo Youdu nodded, and said with a light smile, "It's been so many days, I do miss you a little."

Xiao Yi leaned his head on his shoulder lazily and coquettishly, and exhaled like blue: "I'm fine here, it depends on whether the eldest sister agrees."
