Please, let me be a fool

Chapter 174 My flesh and blood relatives will definitely not be detrimental to the community! 【Ask monthly ticket】

It stands to reason, Your Majesty is wise and mighty.

Even if you don't get angry because of it, you shouldn't act happy.

Although those words are indeed good, but a real powerful vassal recruits soldiers, so one should be wary of it, right?
Why does His Majesty look so indifferent now?Or, His Majesty has already expected this matter and has a coping strategy?

Zhao Lingying couldn't figure it out, she couldn't understand it very much, and finally could only say: "Your Majesty is right, but the matter of King Yan should be paid attention to by local officials, right? Besides, if he is doing this for the sake of the court, he needs to make a note Report back?"

Since it was dealing with the memorial, it was natural to speak out what was in his heart.

This is not only responsible to His Majesty, but also to the imperial court.

However, when Wei Yunyi heard these words.

But he immediately shook his head and said: "Brother Yan is dedicated to the country, and Yan is his fiefdom. As a vassal, he naturally has this power. As for whether to report to the court, it is up to him. It's not required."

"He is my younger brother, the heir of the first emperor, and has the royal blood of my Great Wei Dynasty. I believe that he will not do anything that is not good for the country."

At this moment, Wei Yunyi felt that what he said and his performance were really too foolish.

After all, if it were Ming Jun, Ken would listen to Concubine Ying's opinion and be on guard against this matter.

Otherwise, is it only relying on a royal blood.

Just thinking that a vassal will not rebel?

How is that possible.

In the history books, there are many such things, which is the important reason why every emperor chooses to guard against the vassal king.

But now, he hoped that King Yan would do this, and he didn't want to let the other party throw a mouse-eye because of one of his actions, and then lead to the failure of the plan to ruin the luck.

Of course, Wei Yunyi knew very well that once King Yan started to rebel, a large number of innocent people and soldiers would inevitably be involved.

But as the emperor himself, he could choose to go to war, or not to go to war.

If you don't start a war and let King Yan consume you, you can continue to consume Great Wei's luck, which can be said to be harmless to you.During this period, it is enough to prevent other countries from taking advantage of the fire and looting.

The current situation is that other countries do not have the energy at all.

Besides, King Yan is now showing signs of rebellion, but before the real uprising, I'm afraid it will take some preparation time.

At that time, maybe the problems of Tiandu Kingdom and the grassland tribes have been properly dealt with?

As for Concubine Ying's words, King Yan had to give the court a break no matter what he did.

That's hard.

Whoever rebels will say hello in advance?
But at this time, Zhao Lingying didn't know how to speak after hearing that explanation.

She is familiar with history books and understands that relying on the royal blood and believing that the vassal king will not rebel is indeed a bit outrageous.

But he could also see in his heart that His Majesty had obviously made up his mind not to care about King Yan. If he said anything more, His Majesty would definitely be dissatisfied, right?

But if he didn't continue to speak, wouldn't he have betrayed His Majesty's trust in entrusting him with the memorial?

At this moment, Zhao Lingying was a little confused and didn't know when.

Naturally, Wei Yunyi also saw it, and immediately walked in front of the other party, with a smile on his face, and at the same time with his index finger, he lifted Concubine Ying's chin, and said: "Okay, dear concubine, don't think too much, such a beautiful day and night, I will Today, I happen to have some insights into martial arts, why don't we discuss it together?"

After speaking, regardless of the other party's reaction, she led Concubine Ying to the side.

Zhao Lingying exclaimed, but did not resist.

Seeing this scene, Cui Guo silently exited the bedroom, and at the same time ordered the maids and eunuchs outside to be quiet.

The office of the cabinet, in the Wenhua Palace.

Standing at the door, Lin Yuansong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, bowed slightly and said, "Teacher, Master Song, then I will leave first, and I will trouble the two of you for the next thing."

After speaking, he didn't hesitate and left directly.

In the Wenhua Palace, only Zhang Zhengming and Song Gongwen were left.

It's getting dark now, and it stands to reason that they should have returned home early.

In particular, the Minister of the Ministry of War should not be left behind.

That's why.

It is because the northern border, that is, the grassland tribes have taken actions recently, and the situation at Zhenbeiguan is very serious. As a cabinet scholar, he must respond in this regard.

For example, Lin Yuansong is here, through the Ministry of War, to see if there are any preparatory garrisons in the northern provinces.

In this way, if the situation in Zhenbeiguan is serious, they can react immediately.

There is also the transfer of weapons and horses.

All need to go through the Ministry of War.

As for Song Gongwen, who also serves as the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, he must discuss with the Ministry of War about matters related to grain and grass, how and when to distribute it, and so on.

A war is not as simple as the two sides gathering large armies and putting on a stance, it involves many things.

Take the Great Wei as an example, the entire court and the local governments must be in operation.

In order to ensure that there will be no accidents in this battle.

Even if there is an accident, you can respond in time and make up for it.

Of course, this is based on the premise that the country is strong and the inside and outside are united. Otherwise, no matter how many troops there are, no matter how much food and grass there is, it will be useless.

And the current Great Wei is at this stage, once it starts to operate, it will not stop.

As for Zhang Zhengming, he is the Taifu and the chief minister of the cabinet.

Nature also wants to stay.

at this time.

Lin Yuansong has already left.

The two immediately went on and continued to arrange the matter of Zhenbei Pass.

"Teacher." At this time, Song Gongwen stopped what he was doing, and said: "The ten grassland troops have assembled 20 troops. After fighting with the old Hou Ye, they have lost a lot. The current situation is that only With an army of 15, will they really rely on their army to invade Beiguan, my town?"

"You know, Lord Hou has stabilized the situation. There are 12 troops stationed at Zhenbei Pass, and the northern border prefectures can mobilize another [-] troops in a short period of time. The grassland tribes should know this. It might work."

His meaning was very simple, he felt that the Khans of the Ten Divisions of the Grassland could not be so stupid.

If you say before, when Zhao Jiguang was stationed at Zhenbei Pass.

The prairie army can also come by surprise.

Now that Marquis Shenwu has stabilized the situation, and after such a long time, the two sides are in a see-saw stage, and if they want to invade Zhenbei Pass and threaten the defense line of the northern border, it may be impossible to do so.

Hearing this, Zhang Zhengming paused, thought for a while, and said: "You are right, after several months, the situation has stabilized, even if their army still has the power to fight, but they want to shake the power of Marquis Shenwu. Defense is absolutely impossible."

"But things like war, sometimes not only look at the superficial situation, but also have a deeper level."

Speaking of this, he continued: "Since the first emperor personally led the army to fight against the grassland tribes, the northern border has become much more stable than before. Although the grassland tribes sometimes go south, their scale is not large. Big, that is to say, they have not entered our Central Plains region for at least several decades, which is extremely rare in other dynasties."

"Nowadays, the grassland tribes must be unbearable, because they can see very clearly that after many years of recuperation, my Great Wei has made the country rich and the people strong, and it is the best time to invade the south. If I miss it, I don't know when the next time will be, so Definitely take the opportunity.”

"Don't look at the fact that there are only 15 troops outside the Zhenbei Pass. As long as those tribes unite and gather an elite force, it is not impossible. And have you forgotten?"

"This time the ten tribes of the prairie fought, and most of them were tribes that had good friends with Sirius, but there was no movement from the Sirius tribe."

As soon as these words came out, Song Gongwen was stunned, he really hadn't thought of this level.

It just feels like months have passed since this battle.

Not much will change.

But the teacher's reminder made him realize that this matter was not simple.

Especially the Sirius tribe, which is now the strongest branch of the [-] tribes in the grassland, especially the Sirius Khan, who is the most powerful figure in the past few hundred years.

Song Gongwen even felt that if it wasn't because the other party was afraid, Da Wei would have taken advantage of it.

I am afraid that it will directly start the battle to unify the entire grassland.

Of course, the other party is also the head of the grassland tribe now, and he suspects that there is a shadow of that Khan in this war.

If you choose to send troops at this time, the situation will definitely change. Although it seems that there will be no major problems with Marquis Shenwu sitting in Beiguan, you are not afraid of [-], just in case.

If the grassland tribes really break through the defense line of the northern border, then the Central Plains will be exposed.

At this point in his thoughts, Song Gongwen couldn't help being startled, and said: "Teacher, if this is the case, what should we do?"

As for military affairs, he naturally did not know better than Zhang Zhengming. After all, the other party had been a military officer when the first emperor's imperial conquest, and even Marquis Shenwu recognized his military talent.

"The plan for now is to block the soldiers and cover them with water and soil." Zhang Zhengming said: "We have made sufficient preparations now. According to the character of Marquis Shenwu, we should not take the initiative to attack. After all, as long as Zhenbei Pass is kept, then There won't be much of a problem."

"Of course, the most important thing is that the imperial court must pay attention to this, especially the prefectures in the northern border. They need to be ready to gather a large army at all times to aid the town of Beiguan."

Fighting against the prairie is not like fighting in other places. You can only see how the prairie tribes react and then deal with it.

This is the safest way. Zhang Zhengming knows Shen Wuhou well and knows that the other party will definitely do the same.

As for taking the initiative to attack, it is best not to mess around.

Because no one can guarantee whether taking the initiative to attack can win.

Now neither side has the initiative, they can only wait for the situation to change, and then look for it.

"That's the only way to go." Song Gongwen nodded, and said, "By the way, teacher, I saw the brochure about Yandi, saying that the king of Yan has leveled the disobedient forces in Yandi and is recruiting troops. The brochure has been handed over. After going up, I just don’t know how His Majesty will deal with it.”

At the beginning, he was talking about King Yan with his teacher before he started being bullied by the other party.

Now it seems that Yan Wang seems to be ready to move, which is not a good omen.

Because the steppe tribe is still there.

If something happened to Houyan after knowledge, the imperial court might be out of resources.

Besides, the coastal area, as well as the Wusi area, are also problems that have not been resolved.

Even if Wei is strong and has millions of armor, it is still very difficult to deal with so many crises.

"You don't have to worry about King Yan's affairs." Zhang Zhengming smiled, and said, "Let's not talk about whether King Yan has any thoughts of rebellion. Even if he does, I'm afraid he won't get up so early. short."

"What's more, most of the imperial court's energy is now devoted to the grassland tribes. If he takes advantage of this time to rebel, no matter whether he succeeds or not, it will be of no benefit to him, especially if the grassland tribes really break through the Zhenbei Pass. That King Yan is a sinner through the ages, he cannot bear this responsibility!"

This sentence made Song Gongwen agree with it very much.

He knew that Yan Wang was a very smart person and knew what to do.

As for the rebellion, Song Gongwen felt that the possibility was not very high.

Because of the opponent's actions, even the officials in Yandi knew about it. Could it be that the rebellion will be clearly shown to the court?Not too possible.

Furthermore, Marquis Shenwu was indeed under a lot of pressure in Zhenbeiguan, so it is not impossible to divide the army to suppress King Yan.

And there are also garrisons in the various prefectures in the north.

If the King of Yan did not prepare enough and acted hastily, the end would be disastrous.

"So, the problem we have to face now is still only the northern border." Song Gongwen paused, and then said: "By the way, teacher, Hongzhi came home a few days ago, saying that he has trained in Gaoyang. Although there are not many people in the army, they are all elite. As for Gao Yang, those internal resistance forces were all suppressed by Hong Zhi."

"As for governance, I have to thank the few people recommended by the teacher at the beginning. Although Gao Yang has experienced a war, but because of the small scale, it has not affected the foundation. Now everything is on the right track. When the time comes, we will cooperate with the Central Plains and Liaodong region. With more contacts, this place of Gaoyang can truly become the territory of my Great Wei."

Annexing a country that has been established for more than 100 years, even if the country is small, is still a difficult task, and Gao Yang is like this.

At the beginning, the Great Yuan Dynasty sent troops to conquer the land of Gaoyang many times, but they all failed in the end.

Since Emperor Taizu Gao, Great Wei and Gao Yang have not fought a war.

Just increased the exchange between culture and goods.

And because of the great power of the Wei Dynasty, the two sides have been very similar in culture and language for more than 100 years now.

In this case, it will naturally be easier to subdue.That's why Song Gongwen said that the purpose of continuing to let the Central Plains have more contact with Gao Yang is to use the Central Plains culture to assimilate Gao Yang.

And this is the real conquest.

"That's right." Zhang Zhengming nodded, and immediately said: "Hongzhi has done a good job this time. If it weren't for him to suppress the rebellious forces in Gaoyang, things would not have gone so smoothly. Gongwen, you really have a good son. what."

"Teacher, it's ridiculous." Song Gongwen smiled and said, "Teacher, there is one more thing I forgot to say."

"It's Hongzhi's family letter that mentioned that he will participate in the battle between the northern border and the grassland tribes at an appropriate time!"
