Monument Yangmen

Chapter 908

Kou Zhun shook his head violently.

Gathering all the wealth of the world to support Yan State, Yan State will only become stronger and stronger.

After Yang Qi's explanation, Kou Zhun is no longer worried about Yan's economic decline after the rich and powerful families leave Yan, but Kou Zhun is still worried.

"Your Majesty, in order to avoid raising tigers, you increased the taxation of the Liao Kingdom. Now why are you so generous and let the rich and powerful families rule overseas? You must know that those who dare to go overseas to rule the roost are also ambitious. Once they become powerful, It is inevitable to fight back. Don't you worry about making them trouble?"

Mentioning this, Yang Qi instantly became a little embarrassed. He looked at Kou Zhun quietly, and said, "The world is so big that others don't know it, but you can't know it. Although I brewed that map, Huang Gu and Wang Yan have passed practical actions to prove that the picture is true.

The land of the Central Plains, in the forest of the world, is only one European away.

In order to manage this piece of the Central Plains, we have exhausted our energy, and if the area expands infinitely, we have no time to take care of it.

With so many precious lands, let those barbarian natives occupy it, it is better to let our own people go out and rule the roost.

The meat of the left and right is rotten in the pot of one's own people, not in the hands of outsiders.

Rather than working hard to expand the territory, we should let them go and then benefit from them.

They eat small heads, we eat big heads, they get stronger and we get stronger.

As long as we are always in the strongest state, who would dare to fight back against us?
I have never been afraid that someone will attack the country of Yan in turn.

The reason why I am determined to suppress the Liao Kingdom is not because I am afraid of the Liao Kingdom's counterattack.

With the current strength of the Liao Kingdom, even if I open up the financial resources of the Yan Kingdom to help them, within a hundred years, they will not even try to surpass my Yan Kingdom.

I am ruthless that they are not up to date.

All of them only wanted to stare at the fat piece of the Central Plains, but didn't think about going out for food.

Worse than a house dog. "

Yang Qi's words made Kou Zhun hear his heart and courage.

Kou Zhun secretly admired him, and said with a wry smile: "As long as your Majesty is in power, you will definitely suppress all directions and rule the roost. No one can shake the status of the Yan Kingdom. I am afraid that the future generations will not live up to it."

Kou Zhun paused, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said what was in his heart, "We are also considered a family, we are both prosperous and wealtered, so I will take offense and say a few words of my heart in front of you.

The minister is worried that the layout is too big, and future generations will not live up to it.

The country of Yan was lost.

In all dynasties and dynasties, countless sages like to seek a eternal peace.

But when you and I have reached this step, I know it in my heart.

Everlasting Peace is just a joke. "

"call……"

Yang Qi let out a foul breath, and suddenly thought of the promise he made to the Cao family for thousands of years when he fooled Cao Bin back then.

At that time, Yang Qi only wanted to occupy a place in the southwestern area where the ethnic minorities were entrenched.

As long as he follows the example of the Mu Palace in the Ming Dynasty, he can definitely make the family rich and powerful in the southwestern part of the country for thousands of years.

It's just that the plan is far behind the changes.

Under the persecution step by step, Yang Qi stepped onto the throne.

Under the temptation of interests, the Cao family created a huge foundation.

Just like what he said to Kou Zhun just now, the stall is too big to be guarded.

Yang Qi can't guarantee whether the Yan Kingdom can exist for a thousand years.

Even though he has many supports from later generations, he cannot guarantee it.

"We monarchs and ministers, try to do what we can do. As for whether this country can be passed down from generation to generation, it depends on the good fortune of future generations. We only need to let the Han family Miao descendants stand on top of the world. Regardless of whether the Yan Kingdom exists or not , Han family Miao descendants will always be the group of people who enjoy happiness."

Kou Zhun solemnly nodded aside.

"We need a yamen dedicated to overseas affairs."

Yang Qi looked at Kou Zhun unexpectedly, and said with a smile: "You react quickly. Managing the world does not happen overnight. The reason why I told you this is because I want you to help me out.

Now the people I can trust are you, Su Yijian, Lu Duan, Xiang Minzhong, Lu Mengzheng, and Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu is very old, Lu Mengzheng, Xiang Minzhong, and Lu Duan also have a lot of gray hair. Su Yijian drank too much in his early years and was very weak.

Only you and my monarch and minister are left, and we can continue to endure. "

Kou Zhun said strangely: "Whoever fights will live longer?"

Yang Qile said, "Yes! Who will live longer? If Qin Shihuang could live longer, Liu Bang would have the opportunity to build a great man. If Liu Bang could live longer, there would be no chance for Maodun to bully Lu Zhi. Li Shimin If she can live a little longer, what right does Wu Meiniang have to be called emperor? If Zhao Kuangyin can live a little longer, I have to weigh whether I can take over the Song Kingdom.

Therefore, no matter how great your ability is, if you can live a little longer, it will be enough to change history.

As for you and me, monarch and minister, as long as you can live a little longer, you are the one who will change history. "

Kou Zhun patted his chest and said, "I strive to live to be a hundred years old."

Yang Qi was taken aback, then smiled and said: "Then I have to live to be a hundred years old or above."

Kou Zhun was stunned.

Yang Qi said with a half-smile, "I have to look after you as an uncle, to prevent you from becoming a powerful minister and robbing my son of the world."

When Kou Zhun heard this, he couldn't laugh or cry.

The monarch and his ministers had some gossip again, and Kou Zhun left the palace.

The next day.

Yang Qiyi issued an imperial edict, ousted Kou Zhun from the position of prime minister, and moved to be the chief officer of Honglu Division. Honglu Division was restructured from Honglu Temple, specializing in foreign affairs and independent of the two pavilions.

Su Yijian was transferred back to Beijing and moved to the prime minister of Yan State.

At the time when Wanbang came to the court, two important ministers were successively transferred, which aroused discussions all over the country.

however.

Of the two parties involved, none of them stood up to speak out.

Yang Qi didn't bother to pay attention to the discussions from all over the country. The three schools of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism had subsided.

What's more, this year, he will spend more time meeting foreign envoys.

Especially the foreign envoys of Jin and Shu.

Both countries sent important figures to Yanjing City, so Yang Qi couldn't help but personally meet them.

The foreign envoy of the Great Jin Dynasty was Zhe Yuqing, Yang Qi's uncle.

Right after he arrived in Yanjing City, he was tricked into the harem by She Sai, and the two siblings wanted to complain about his problems.

The foreign envoy of Dashu was Cao Wei and Cao Baochen.

Yang Qi specially summoned him in the imperial study.

Don't go through the years.

Cao Wei has transformed from the young boy who followed Yang Qi's back to a middle-aged man who dominates.

When brothers meet, they are very cordial.

"Seventh Brother..."

"Baochen..."

In the imperial study room, the two hugged each other, Cao Wei's eyes were bright red, which made Yang Qi feel hot too.

Eliminating all customary etiquette, the two brothers hugged each other tightly for a long time.

After letting go of his embrace, Cao Wei looked at Yang Qi, choked up and said, "Brother Qi, you are getting old..."

Yang Qi patted him on the shoulder and said angrily: "Nonsense, your seventh brother and I are still the handsome young man who is popular with thousands of girls, obviously you are getting old."

Cao Wei was not angry either, he grabbed Yang Qi's hand and said in a deep voice, "It's been ten years, you and I haven't seen each other for ten years."

"Ten years..."

Yang Qi sighed, "Time flies so fast, I feel like it was yesterday when you and I galloped in Bianjing City."

Deep in love, Cao Wei said emotionally, "If Seventh Brother doesn't dislike him, Wei can still follow you."

"Nonsense again..."

Yang Qi stared, "You are now the King of Jin in the Great Shu. You are under one person and over ten thousand people. You will even dominate the Great Shu in the future. If I drag you to mix with me, my father-in-law will not rush to the Kingdom of Yan to follow you!" I work hard."

Cao Wei trembled all over, opened his mouth, but didn't speak.

Yang Qi was stunned, his gaze stayed on Cao Wei's face for a few seconds, and he didn't ask Cao Wei why he had such a reaction.

Because he probably guessed it.

I'm afraid that his cheap father-in-law has no plans to pass the throne to Cao Wei.

The inheritance of the throne of the Great Shu Kingdom is a family matter, and if Yang Qi insists on breaking it up, he can call himself the Cao family.

However, his status made it impossible for him to participate in the Cao family's family affairs.

The two consciously avoided the topic.

Yang Qi asked Cao Wei to sit down and asked Chen Lin to prepare a table of food and wine, and the two brothers sat down to chat while eating.

From the old events in Bianjing, we talked about the struggle of the two brothers in the southern country.

Finally, I talked about what the Cao family did after they occupied Dali.

Holding the jug, Cao Wei took a sip, and said: "Back then when my Cao family captured Dali, after your advice, we discovered a lot of gold and copper mines, so it can be said that we became rich overnight.

However, you have repeatedly scraped away gold and silver from my father.

Every time my father mentions you, his teeth itch with hatred. "

Yang Qi glanced at him strangely, pursed his mouth.

I searched your Cao family's money, why are you so happy?

Cao Wei didn't seem to notice Yang Qi's weird expression, he said to himself: "Later you established the Yan Kingdom and never took away the gold and silver from Dali, so my father's face finally looked better.

With the help of the remaining gold and silver, my father recruited soldiers and horses. It can be said that he took all the males in Dali to form one strong army after another.

Ready to wait for the opportunity.

Finally, when you counterattacked Song State, my father saw the opportunity.

He ordered me to lead the army and horses, and the troops went out of Dali, went straight to Sichuan and Shu, and took the whole of Sichuan and Shu.

After occupying Sichuan and Shu, my father moved the capital of Dali to Sichuan and Shu.

After owning Sichuan and Sichuan, my father's ambitions also began to rise.

After he learned that you could provide us with artillery, he immediately ordered a batch from you.

Then it was delivered to me, and I was asked to lead the soldiers and horses to move westward, and divided the 36 countries in the Western Regions with the Zhe family, and finally established the Great Shu. "

Yang Qi basically knew what Cao Wei said.

At the beginning, Yang Qi thought that Cao Wei was telling him about the past, but after listening, he could hear something was wrong.

He heard something close to the history of the early Tang Dynasty.

Back then when Li Yuan proclaimed himself emperor, Li Jiancheng was in charge of the capital, and Li Shimin led the army to conquer the east and west, and made great military exploits.

Cao Bin is now like Li Yuan, Cao Jia Dalang is like Li Jiancheng, and Cao Wei is a bit like Li Shimin.

This is to play Xuanwumen again!
Yang Qi clicked his lips and asked tentatively: "Are you not convinced?"

Cao Wei was stunned, and said with a bitter face: "I have nothing to accept or not, I don't care if I become emperor or not, I really don't care. But my elder brother does care. He thinks that I am superior to the master, and frequently suppresses my subordinates.

For three years, the old department under me was tortured by him, raped by him.

I'm not feeling well.

Many old brothers who followed me were unwilling to take refuge in him, so he used various excuses to kill them.

Those are old brothers who have been fighting with me for ten years. They have blocked swords and swords for me.

I just watched them being murdered by my elder brother.

I'm particularly uncomfortable with this. "

As an emperor on horseback, Yang Qi can probably understand Cao Wei's pain.

Watching the dead brothers die one by one because of him, this feeling is more painful than playing with snakes.

Yang Qichang sighed, "It's probably the same for Li Shimin back then, that's why he chose the change of Xuanwu Gate..."

Cao Wei raised his head in horror, "I never thought of killing my eldest brother, nor imprisoning my father."

Yang Qi glanced at him and shook his head slightly.

Without the determination to kill his brother and imprison his father, Cao Wei is likely to be forced to death under his elder brother's oppression step by step.

Seeing his former brother die, Yang Qi couldn't bear it. He hesitated for a moment and said, "I heard that your soldiers and horses from Great Shu have already started to fight against the Maurya Dynasty?"

Cao Wei froze for a moment, then shook his head dully, "There is a towering snow mountain blocking it, and it takes a long way to go around the snow mountain, and you even have to borrow a road from the old southern country. My father can't afford to mess with you.

Therefore, only a small number of soldiers and horses have reached the Maurya Dynasty at present, and they cannot play a role in fighting. "

Yang Qi couldn't help laughing.

Seeing Cao Wei looking at him resentfully, Yang Qi stopped his smile, and coughed dryly: "Since you don't want to fight with your eldest brother, then go to the Maurya Dynasty. Anyway, there is a big mountain blocking it, as long as you can fight in the Peacock Dynasty If the Dynasty has a firm foothold, your eldest brother can do nothing to you."

Cao Wei glanced at Yang Qi, and said in a low voice: "The two waterways to the Maurya Dynasty both pass through the territory of your country of Yan. Can you let me pass?"

Yang Qi couldn't laugh or cry and said: "You and my brother, I can still watch you die, it's just an excuse. Your contribution in the southern country back then is enough for me to open a way for you."

Cao Wei stood up excitedly, and said respectfully, "Thank you, Brother Seven, for saving my life."

"Okay, okay. Let me tell you the rules first. Since you are going to the Maurya Dynasty via the Yan Kingdom, I will give you [-]% of what you seized in the Maurya Dynasty."

Cao Wei's expression changed.

"Are you robbing?!"

Yang Qi clicked his lips, "Favours are favors, and rules are rules. The Mauryan Dynasty is full of gold, and you picked it up for no reason. I will charge [-]% for the seizure, which is not too much.

Besides, after you occupy the Maurya Dynasty, you will rule there.

All I ask you for is floating money.

Since the Maurya Dynasty is full of gold, there must be countless gold underground.

In the future, you can completely drive the local aborigines to help you dig slowly.

In comparison, I'm still at a disadvantage. "

Cao Wei hesitated for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I promise you!"
