Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Luoyang East Palace.

"His Royal Highness!"

Commodore Kou held up the dossier and presented it with both hands: "This is Tang Xiaze's confession. There are more than two hundred officials who have contacts with him. There are not many officials who have benefited from him, but there are many officials who have been helped by the Tang family. Especially the young ones. For the first generation, eager to make achievements and attract investment, they will often contact the Tang family and offer them convenience and discounts to obtain funds."

Looking at the list in his hand, Luo Kangrui shook his head and said, "It was originally a good thing that benefited the country and the people. It is this kind of endless greed that made the situation like this today. There is the matter of Quanzhou, and there is the matter of Tang Xiaze." In the future, the boundaries of the rules have been clarified, and this matter should come to an end."

Kou Zhun said, "Your Majesty has issued an order?"

Ever since the big fish was caught, Kou Zhun knew that only Luo Youdu himself could calm down all the turmoil and make the world feel at ease.

A third envoy of the imperial court who is second only to the prime minister, and a big businessman who can be called the richest man in Dayu. He has implicated thousands of officials and merchants. case.

Luo Kangrui said: "I haven't received any orders from my father so far, but let me go to the inner garden after finishing the affairs in hand, and also talked about the entry of the Wuwei County King into the palace. With the father's character, I will probably go along with the flow and give the county king a piece of cake." Don't worry. Besides..."

The Prince Yu narrowed his eyes, and said word by word: "Could it be possible that Ping Zhong thinks that Gu is a petty man? Can't you catch this trivial matter and hold on to it? Even if the father still has a fire in his heart, Gu has to extinguish him. Only Settle this matter as soon as possible and stabilize the internal affairs before we can focus on the world."

Is Tang Xiaze's case serious?

Of course big.

With this battle, for Luo Kangrui who has been living under the brilliance of Luo Youdu, everyone in the world can see the courage and ability of Prince Dayu, and show the people in the world the light that belongs to Prince Dayu himself.

Since then, no one has dared to underestimate the helm of the Dayu court, a qualified successor.

Dealing with the problems caused by the rise of businessmen by means of thunderbolts is just to clear the court and demonstrate the ability that a successful king should have.

Luo Kangrui's "small family spirit" is obviously not limited to this, he is unwilling to sit on his father's credit book in a peaceful manner.

Kou Zhun was also excited when he heard it, feeling the aura of Prince Dayu in front of him, and there was a trace of excitement in his eyes.

Luo Kangrui beckoned and asked Kou Zhun to come forward and said, "You have been busy with the case, so you didn't discuss things with you. Just take a look. If there is no objection, I will hand it over to the emperor tomorrow for him to review."

Seeing Luo Kangrui handing over the thick manuscript on the case table, Kou Zhun reached out to take it and read it carefully.

When Luo Kangrui handed over the manuscript to Luo Youdu for review, it was already the evening of the second day.

Luo Youdu flipped through the manuscript casually, but Luo Kangrui who was below was rigid and motionless.

The longer the prince became, the more he admired and even revered him as his father.

Only sitting in this seat can Luo Kangrui realize how difficult it is to be at the helm.

As a king who can determine the rise and fall of the world with one word, every decision is enough to determine the life and death of thousands of people.

A wrong decision is undoubtedly a catastrophe for thousands of people.

But his father has been in charge of the world for so many years, and he has never made any mistakes in the decision-making of major events, leading the Dayu court on the correct development path.

This pioneering policy was supposed to cross the river step by step by feeling the stones, but my father, like an experienced old helmsman, avoided all kinds of undercurrents and reefs, and led the giant ship Dayu to ride the wind and waves.

Luo Kangrui knew in his heart that with the political legacy left by his great father, Xiao Gui Cao Sui, he would be able to achieve a generation of virtuous names.It's just that he is a little reconciled, unwilling to live under the blessing of his father for the rest of his life.

After reading the manuscript in his hand, Luo Youdu did not issue a statement, but said: "My son has great ambitions, and my father is very pleased. But do you know that my father has never gone west since he won the appeasement?"

Appeasement is the Holy Land of the West, Jerusalem. In the past, Cao Bin defeated the Eastern and Western Roman Empires and forced Otto the Great to commit suicide by the Euphrates River. After that, he took Jerusalem into his pocket, and Luo Youdu personally named it Appeasement.

"My child knows!" Luo Kangrui replied without hesitation: "The cultural differences between the East and the West are too great to be compatible with each other. Appeasement and the virtue of heaven are of great significance to the West. Only by assimilating this place can we move west."

Tiande refers to Baghdad, the capital of the former Arab Empire.

Luo Youdu nodded in satisfaction and said, "Do you think the time has come?"

Luo Kangrui said: "In these years, my son has always respected the will of the father and the emperor, and has in-depth contacts with the West. Since the defeat of the West, Otto was killed, and the empire he built fell apart. The Byzantium in Eastern Rome saw an opportunity and took advantage of it. If it weren't for us secretly Support, Western Rome may even be annexed by Byzantium."

There was a smile on Luo Youdu's face. In the First World War, Otto was named and killed by him, and Basil II of Byzantium was also guaranteed by him.

The Arab Empire has a deep influence in the local area, and Luo Youdu disdains to be Genghis Khan. Back then, he could indeed take advantage of the situation and conquer a large area of ​​land.But the logistical pressure of the army will be on the people of Arabia and the Western Regions.

Originally, the Western Regions were revived not long ago, and the Arabs were also suffering from wars. They were squeezing their manpower and material resources, so why surrender?

What's more, to push the Eastern and Western Roman Empires to the extreme, the two factions of the Catholic Church put aside their previous suspicions and share the same hatred, which is also a big trouble.

It is obvious what will happen if the Allied Forces of Eastern and Western Rome are smashed, leaving a chaotic Western Rome, and a decimated but mastered Eastern Rome.

The major duchies of Western Rome conquered each other, and all the dukes claimed that they were the heirs of Otto the Great, while Eastern Rome quickly regained its vitality by doing business with Dayu.

The Great Yu in the east dare not provoke them, and the unification of Catholicism in the west has become an inevitable trend.

Over the years, the dog brains of the Catholic Church have been blown out.

Luo Kangrui continued: "Facing the pressure of Eastern Rome, in recent years Western Rome has developed a belief called chivalry, which combines benevolence, honor, bravery, faith, forgiveness, patience, and friendship..."

"and many more……"

The more Luo Youdu listened, the more he didn't like it. He said suspiciously, "You mean chivalry? Why does your father sound like the benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, faith, loyalty, filial piety, fraternity, integrity, forgiveness, and courage of my Confucianism?" , Jean? Shouldn’t it be humility, honor, sacrifice, mercy, justice, spirituality?”

Luo Kangrui was not quite able to understand the meaning of his father's words, but he was also used to his "nonsense" from time to time, and said with some pride: "I surrender to the world, and the wind direction of Dayu is the wind direction of the world. Father said that he likes red, and within a few years, it will become popular in the universe. New Confucianism is the core of my Chinese culture, and it is not surprising that the spirit of chivalry has been affected by the study and admiration of all nations."

He paused and said: "According to my child, Basil II is suffering from a serious illness and will die soon. With his character, he must not be willing to die like this. Before he dies, he will definitely make every effort to conquer the West. No matter who wins or loses, In the end, I will definitely turn to Dayu for help, and then I can intervene in a fair manner."

Luo Youdu nodded in approval.

Luo Kangrui said: "As for the East Yu Continent, my child also has an opinion."

Luo Youdu adjusted his sitting posture to make himself more comfortable, and said, "Tell me."

Luo Kangrui said: "My child thought that the emperor's policy in the Eastern Yu Continent was gradually becoming unworkable. The benevolent government not only failed to win over the people, but created a lot of friction."

Luo Youdu remained expressionless, and said, "So, do you agree with the military's intention to launch troops against the Eastern Yu Continent?"

Luo Kangrui shook his head and said, "The military is too aggressive, which is not a good strategy. Like my father, my son feels that dealing with the Eastern Yu Continent should still be treated with benevolence and justice."

Luo Youdu came to his senses and said, "Then what is the difference between your approach and my previous approach?"

The Dayu imperial court has built 31 cities in six prefectures in the Eastern Yu Continent, and its power has penetrated into the middle of the Eastern Yu Continent, but the deeper it goes, the more serious the resistance it encounters.

In order to resist the expansion of the imperial court, the diehard local residents united and launched a rebellion by using the terrain.

Many parts of the Eastern Yu Continent are undeveloped, and the terrain and environment are complex. The local army is more than enough to maintain the stability of the place, but it is not enough to go deep into the enemy's territory. It is necessary to mobilize troops from the Central Plains to make an expedition across the sea.

Luo Kangrui said: "Now those who are stubbornly resisting are all diehards. They cannot be convinced by the benevolence and righteousness in words and actions. My child thinks that only by comparing can they understand the good intentions of the father."

Luo Kangrui took a map of the West from his pocket.

This map is more detailed than Luo Youdu's original one. Dayu's merchant traveler measured it with his own boat and feet.

"Here are the three islands in the West Sea..."

The three islands in the West Sea are the three islands of England. Now Dayu holds the right to speak in the world, and the world structure is determined by the court of Dayu.

There is no such thing as the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Arctic Ocean, or the Indian Ocean, only the corresponding East China Sea, West Sea, North Sea, and South China Sea...

"Father does not know that in recent years, a powerful barbarian force has emerged in the three islands of the West Sea. It is said that they are brave and sturdy, with cruel methods, burning, killing and looting, and committing all kinds of evil."

Luo Youdu didn't speak, but just hummed softly in his heart: What don't you know about me, isn't he an Anglo-Saxon?

The future is known as the creator of "civilization", but this era is synonymous with barbarians and pirates. Even after putting on a good-looking skin, the barbarism in his bones is still alive.

Luo Kangrui continued: "The barbarians of the West Sea have already occupied the three islands of the West Sea. With their violent style, it is inevitable to plunder. My child thinks that they can be lured to the East Yu Continent, so that those Yin people who do not accept my rule of Dayu ( Indians) compare barbarism and civilization."

"This also has an advantage. It prevents the western sea barbarians from expanding eastward and breaking our layout and balance between East and West Rome."

Luo Youdu looked at the confident baby son in front of him, laughed, and just said four words: "Let's do it!"

With you like this, the future of Dayu can be expected...

It's time for me to let go of everything.
