Invincible at the beginning: I seek the world in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 70, Prime Minister Dismissed

Jiao Daqian thought for a while, came out, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I believe that the alliance with the Southern Tang Dynasty is a good medicine, but there are many obstacles and it is difficult to realize it."

"There are three reasons: first, the people of our great Chu gathered together because of the benevolence and righteousness of the former emperor, but the brothers of the former emperor died tragically at the hands of the Southern Tang. If they were to form an alliance, they would lose the hearts of the people. Second, the people of my great Chu and the Southern Tang have always been hostile. There will also be many troubles and suspicions. Third, the throne of the Southern Tang Dynasty was usurped by a woman, and the court is unstable, so it is definitely not a good choice for an ally."

Emperor Chu squinted his eyes and nodded slightly, "Jiao Aiqing's words are reasonable, and I deeply agree. I don't know how you feel?"

Chen Bangzhou opened his mouth, but he didn't tell everyone about his contact with the Southern Tang counselor.

Jiao Daqian smiled and said: "The prime minister's wisdom is really rare in the world. He can think of abandoning the front line and using the Southern Tang Dynasty to resist Beili. Jiao is extremely admired. But it is too idealistic, and it is difficult to reach the blue sky if you want to form an alliance."

Chen Bangzhou hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, if you have confidence, you can go to the Southern Tang Dynasty to lobby all the ministers in the Southern Tang Dynasty."

"This is inappropriate." Chu Huang shook his head.

Huang Yingjun said: "Your Majesty, there has been a saying since ancient times, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. Besides, today is different from the past, Beili has a strong national power, and is covetous."

"Master Huang, is he trying to build up the momentum of others and destroy his own?" A cabinet official stroked his slender beard and said, "Your Majesty, I have outstanding people in Chu, and they are united from top to bottom. .”

"Extremely ridiculous! Beili has a large population and has millions of troops. I am a big Chu Chu, excluding the border defenders, there are at most 20 people," the new doctor of the Ministry of War scolded.

"There is a saying in the art of war, the first is to attack the army, the second is to attack the enemy, and the second is to attack the city. Strategies are planned, and the less wins the more. Is my big Chu doing less?" The official retorted.

"A joke! Such a huge disparity. Since your lord said so, it seems that you are familiar with the big plan of attack and defense. Your Majesty, I suggest that this lord be the front military adviser." The military doctor said hurriedly.

"You..." the cabinet official looked at Chen Bangzhou dumbfounded, "The old prime minister is resourceful and resourceful, and he must be able to achieve such a victory."

After hearing this, the Wei Guo Party rolled their eyes and sneered.

Jiao Daqian smiled confidently, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the current situation is indeed difficult. But I have a plan to make the situation in Dachu quiet and clear again!"

"Speak!" Chu Huang showed excitement.

Jiao Daqian said slowly: "Warriors practice, build up their physique, and train themselves to the extreme. They are innate masters. Similarly, if we develop my Great Chu to the extreme, it will definitely strengthen the national strength and resist Beili. It's no problem. "

"Be specific."

"Yes." Jiao Daqian organized his words and said, "I live in seclusion in the mountains and fields, blending in with all living beings. In the troubled times, the common people entrust themselves to the gods, worship Taoism and Buddhism, and abandon Confucian classics."

Jiao Daqian took a deep breath, and said in a firm tone: "I believe that I, Da Chu, should exterminate the Buddha and drive away the Dao, and put half of the money into the national treasury, and half of it to build academies."

Emperor Chu sorted out his thoughts and asked, "Can temples and Taoist temples have so much money and food?"

An official came out and said, "Your Majesty, I have a large number of good men and women in Chu Chu, and the accumulation of a small amount makes a lot, and the trickle becomes a sea. The temple's money and food are unimaginable, and"

Chen Bangzhou opened his mouth slowly: "Say!" His tone, which has always been gentle, became tougher.

Emperor Chu gave him a surprised look.

The official hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, although there are eminent monks in the temple, there are also monks who do not abide by the precepts. They bully the market and gather a large area of ​​land by virtue of brute force."

"Crack!" Chu Huang patted the table, "Why didn't I know?"

Immediately, he looked at Bie Fengjun, and said in a bad tone: "Dali Temple claims to monitor the world, why didn't you report it to me? Or do you mean Bie Fengjun neglected his duties and conspired with others?"

"I don't dare." Bie Fengjun knelt down to the Emperor of Chu, "When there was a storm in the north, I gathered the main staff of Dali Temple in the north, so that such a situation happened in the south, I will be punished!"

Like a tiger or a wolf, Emperor Chu turned his attention to the official who reported.

"Indeed! The chaos of Buddhism and Taoism is prevalent in the south."

Chen Bangzhou said: "Your Majesty, since the situation in the north of our Great Chu has been tense, there have been many problems in the south. In addition to the chaos of Buddhism and Taoism, there are aristocratic families covering the sky with one hand, officials and officials protecting each other, and colluding with merchants."

"Then Xiangfu, why didn't you tell Yuzhen?" Chu Huang asked eagerly with a trembling voice, his voice was hoarse, like a young man who had just changed his voice.

Chen Bangzhou said: "South of Great Chu, there have been such problems since the founding of the country. The previous emperor suppressed them many times, but still could not get rid of the root cause. I believe that only by exposing them once can we completely eliminate them."

"Then Xiangfu thinks, when will we do it?"

Chen Bangzhou smiled and said: "The minister sent people to the south to supervise, and wanted to control the situation there within a reasonable threshold. Later, I learned that Jiao Shoufu, who is good at governing the people, was very concerned, so he withdrew his staff and asked Shoufu to show off." Big picture."

Jiao Daqian raised his brows and squeezed out a smile, "Your Majesty, the people in the south are suffering, and this is due to my dereliction of duty."

"Since this is the case, let's get rid of it as soon as possible. Jiao Shoufu, keep talking!"

"Yes."

Jiao Daqian said: "The confrontation between the two armies is a contest of national strength. After the southern land is taken back, it will be divided among the people, management will be strengthened, and taxes will be appropriately increased to solve the problem of money and food according to the right time and place."

"Increase the regulations. Those who give birth and start a family can increase the population by dividing more land according to the population."

Chu Huang nodded, "It is indeed a good way."

"In addition, border land reclamation can be cultivated by border guards as training content, which can not only strengthen their physical fitness, but also increase their military rations." Jiao Daqian added.

"Good strategy" Chu Huang commented.

"In today's army, the importance of warriors is self-evident. But it takes too long to train warriors, but if you mass-produce first-rank or second-rank warriors."

Jiao Daqian looked at the group of military officers, "You all must have a solution, right?"

"Either use old medicinal materials, or instill them with high-quality warriors' internal strength, or let them fall to death and explode before the battle." A military officer said.

Jiao Daqian said: "Using rank-[-] warriors, we can mass-produce rank-[-] warriors, which can definitely make our army strong."

"Ninth rank warrior" Chu Huang took a deep breath, "There are two supervisors of ceremonies."

"Your Majesty, the Ceremony Superintendent's exercises are so yin and cold, if the internal force is empowered, there may be serious harm." One person added.

"It doesn't matter." Jiao Daqian waved his hand, "As far as I know, the empowerment will ruin the future, and the two armies will confront each other. It's completely fine."

"Well, plus the Ninth Grade of Wutang"

The Emperor of Chu asked: "Don't meet you, do you know what other nine ranks I have in Great Chu?"

Among the Ninth Ranks outside Tianwang City, there are only Shuangyue Sword Immortal Wu Qiling and the actor Chi Yuqing. As for the other hidden Ninth Ranks, there is absolutely no possibility. "Bie Fengjun replied.

"What about Tianwang City?"

"Nie Tianzhou and Huang Mengjue from the Spring and Autumn Sword Cottage, and then Jiang Wangsheng and the four Ninth Grades around him."

Emperor Chu couldn't help clenching his fists, and said in his heart, "Jiang Wangsheng is Jiang Wangsheng again!"

"Huang Aiqing, Ling Ai and Jiang Wangsheng have a marriage contract, so I should be able to convince him to let them help my Dachu soldiers to give empowerment?" Chu Huang said leisurely.

Huang Yingjun scolded his mother inwardly when he heard the words, but he still said: "Your Majesty, Jiang Wangsheng has always acted according to his will, let alone a minister, even his father may not be able to convince him with confidence."

"Besides, His Majesty punished him like that. Thank God he didn't make trouble." Huang Yingjun added.

The Emperor of Chu said: "According to what Shoufu said, regarding the initiation of warriors, a decree has been issued. If Jiang Wangsheng dares to object, he will be executed according to law."

"Yes." Jiao Daqian was delighted.

Chen Bangzhou suddenly said: "Your Majesty! This plan cannot be done!"

"In troubled times, the common people have a belief in their hearts, and they can live a better life. If the Buddha is destroyed to drive away the Tao, it may be counterproductive. If it is forced to empower."

"Jiang Wangsheng is a congenital master. Under the current situation, his importance is no less than that of generals and marshals. If so, I'm afraid it will make him feel rebellious."

"He dares!" Chu Huang yelled angrily, and then thought of the long sword still stuck outside the palace, feeling uncertain.

Chen Bangzhou stared at the Emperor of Chu, got up from the crane chair, knelt down to him, and said, "I hope your Majesty will take it back."

"I hope His Majesty will take it back."

Kneel down for the Nationalist Party.

"You are not joking." Jiao Daqian snorted coldly, "Doesn't the Prime Minister even know this?"

"Yao and Shun are the ones who follow the good like others; Jie and Zhou are the ones who go their own way. I hope His Majesty will take back his orders and deal with them properly." Chen Bangzhou said sonorously and forcefully.

"I hope His Majesty will take it back and deal with it properly." Everyone echoed.

Emperor Chu said angrily: "Are you trying to force me?"

"Your Majesty, we only wait for the people." Everyone said in unison as if they had made an appointment.

Emperor Chu was so angry that one Buddha ascended to the sky and the other two came out of his body, his body kept shaking, and he slapped the table hard, "Get up!"

The officials glanced at Chen Bangzhou, as long as he didn't get up, they wouldn't get up.

"Do you think that with the prime minister around, you can do whatever you want?"

"Your Majesty." Chen Bangzhou said.

The Emperor Chu waved his hand and said: "Father Xiang, you are tired."

"Your Majesty!" Chen Bangzhou called out.

The Emperor Chu's eyes were ruthless, "I will pass on my will. From today on, Chen Bangzhou will rest at home, and the position of prime minister will be exercised by the cabinet to lead the six ministries!"

"Retreat!"

Everyone seemed to be petrified, not to mention the Nationalist Party, even the people in the cabinet.

Chen Bangzhou took a heavy breath, and before everyone knelt to say goodbye to Emperor Chu, he walked out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony by himself.
