Almighty Nongmen Phoenix

Chapter 595;

The strength of one family alone is no longer able to compete with Nanjiang. If Dongzhou and Beichu come together again, it will give Nanjiang an opportunity.

If the latter one is not done well, I am afraid that the two countries will be completely defeated by Nanjiang or perish.

Almost everyone present thought of this.

"His Majesty the Emperor of Dongzhou, now that Xirong has fallen, there is no threat to the southern border."

"You don't want to see this world fall into the hands of the barbarians in southern Xinjiang, do you?"

Everyone's expression sank again, with serious expressions on their faces.

Indeed, the original state of full strength of the four countries has become unbalanced after the Northern Chu attacked Xirong.

Xi Rong is already half-disabled, and Bei Chu has internal problems, too busy to take care of himself.

And Dongzhou has only just been integrated, and it will take some time to fully control it. The most important thing is that Dongzhou is not an opponent of Southern Xinjiang at all. Once a war starts, Dongzhou's national strength will also decline technically.

No wonder Nanjiang is ready to move this time, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Another chance to unify the world after the previous empire.

The unification of the world is full of temptations for every emperor.

Although he understood the benefits of reconciliation, Emperor Hongwen had to consider what Wen Songtao said just now.

In a country, the most important thing is the hearts of the people. If the hearts of the people are lost, the country is not far from collapse.

There are advantages to reconciling with Beichu, but there are also disadvantages, especially since Beichu is also a wolfish and ambitious generation, no one knows what will happen next, whether they will backtrack and do something.

There is also Xirong, they have a blood feud with Beichu, if Dongzhou and Beichu join forces to form a camp at this time, what will happen to Xirong?
Emperor Hongwen, who was still looking forward to the reconciliation, hesitated at this moment.

Reconciliation can only get an unstable alliance of interests, but it will lose many things, some of which are not very cost-effective.

However, when the reconciliation was united, the Southern Xinjiang side was eyeing them, and they had to guard against them.

Who knows, will Southern Border be defeated one by one.

He didn't think that if Southern Xinjiang attacked Dongzhou, Northern Chu would send troops to assist. On the contrary, Northern Chu might even attack Dongzhou together, taking this opportunity to frantically plunder and strengthen its own strength.

Of course, if Nanjiang attacked Beichu first, he would do the same. It would be a little bit stronger, and it would also increase the chance of confronting Nanjiang in the end.

The hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone was thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

After another while, Wu Shilang, who was the first to stand up to speak just now, cupped his hands again and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is related to the fate of Dongzhou. I believe that reconciliation must be carried out."

"As for the matter mentioned by Prime Minister Wen, it is not impossible to solve it. It is not impossible to send officials to do work for the people."

Reconciliation is the best way to avoid war. Once the news of Dongzhou and Northern Chu's reconciliation and marriage is spread, Nanjiang will have to weigh it after all.

After all, with the power of one country against the three countries, even if Southern Xinjiang is stronger, it has to be cautious.

Hearing Wu Shilang's words, Wen Songtao said nothing. He is not a militant, so it is best not to open the website, so that Dongzhou can develop rapidly with the things that Lu Yaoyao made.

It only takes two or three years, and Dongzhou's national strength will increase a lot. Even if it does not unite with Northern Chu, it will be difficult for Southern Xinjiang to attack them.

But this reconciliation, the price to pay is not small.

He also had a hard time choosing.

"Your Majesty, now that Nanjiang is showing its sharpness, there is really no need to confront it head-on. I also agree with what Wu Shilang said."

Another minister stood up.

"Subsidiary"

"Seconded."

More and more civil servants stood up, and in the end only Wen Songtao and Dong Xiang remained silent.

As for those military generals, none of them spoke for a second opinion.

After all, each of them has many confidants who have a blood feud against Bei Chu.

If they agree with this, how do these confidantes think of them?
Seeing so many ministers supporting the reconciliation, the Dongzhou envoy showed a look of relief on his face, and Chu Zhiyi's eyes were also shining with joy.

"Prince Jin, what do you think?"

Faced with the second proposals of so many civil servants, Emperor Hongwen did not express his position, but turned his attention to King Jin.

"Reconciliation is a good thing, but the price is not small, and it needs to be considered."

As soon as King Jin opened his mouth, Emperor Hongwen nodded indistinctly.

He also felt that the price of this reconciliation was not small.

"That's the first thing to do. I need to think about it."

"Your Majesty, no, this matter is related to the future of Dongzhou, so it must not be delayed."

"Yes, Your Majesty, this is the decision to be made in the morning, so as not to have long nights and dreams."

Those civil servants spoke again.

They have read the letter sent by the Northern Chu envoy just now. It said that a large number of troops have been mobilized from southern Xinjiang to the border, and food, grass and supplies are being transported to the front line one after another.

Once the preparations are sufficient, southern Xinjiang will immediately launch a war.

Even if they reconcile the alliance at that time, it may be difficult to establish an effective defense line for a while, and the danger and loss will not be small.

Seeing the civil servants below speak out one after another, Emperor Hongwen didn't know what to say for a while.

At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Lu Yaoyao, who was originally sitting, had stood up.

"Princess Wanfu has something to say?"

He asked immediately.

This time, everyone's attention was attracted.

The civil servants who were still talking just now also looked at Lu Yaoyao, and the few leaders frowned.

Originally, Princess Wanfu should not have appeared on such an occasion. After all, the discussions were all important national affairs. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that women should not meddle in politics.

But Emperor Hongwen favored her, and Princess Wanfu had indeed made a lot of contributions to Dongzhou, and she was also low-key, so she came when she came.

There is no need to offend His Majesty and Princess Wanfu because of this matter.

So when Lu Yaoyao came here to sit at the table, they could turn a blind eye to it, but seeing her like this now, and being involved in political affairs, this made these scholars and civil servants feel a little dissatisfied.

"A courtier's daughter is a female class, so it is not suitable for meddling in state affairs."

"However, the minister heard what happened just now, it is related to the entire Dongzhou, and the minister is also a citizen of Dongzhou. I wonder if I can say a few words in this capacity?"

As soon as she said this, those civil servants who were still frowning and dissatisfied just now relaxed their brows slightly.

It is true that she is a woman and cannot be involved in political affairs, but she is also a citizen of Dongzhou and has the right to express her opinions.

"Well, then tell me."

Emperor Hongwen nodded in agreement.

"First of all, although the courtier has the title of princess, in fact, she is a businessman, and everyone knows it."

"I don't understand major national affairs, so I will look at this matter from the perspective of a businessman and say a few words."
