Chapter 63: The Master of the Demon Sect (Class)

When he arrived on the road, when there was no one around, Li Linfu told me the matter with a heavy expression. The three Great Wu dynasties, including Dali, Tubo, and Uighur, also jointly announced the decision to leave the Great Wu dynasty's dependence state.

I said. I hit the platform in the middle of the carriage heavily and said gloomyly: "They have had a good time, and they dared to stab Da Wu in a secret hand at this critical moment."

Seeing that I was angry, Li Linfu hurriedly knelt down on the ground: "Prince, please be happy and angry, take care of the dragon's body."

I slowly leaned on the lounge chair in the carriage. Liu Yingzhu and Ning'er were on both sides to help me beat my chest and back, hoping to help me relieve my anger.

My mind was running quickly. After staying in my position for a long time, the first thing that came to mind when encountering things was whether there was any conspiracy.

Logically speaking, Dali and other three countries have had many friendships with the Dawu Dynasty, and they have paid tribute on time every year and have never been suspected of arrears. And under the protection of the Dawu Dynasty, their lives are very stable. Why are they unable to think about it at this time and want to disrupt the stability of their country?

From a time perspective, these three kingdoms must have been fully equipped. Otherwise, they would not have made a statement in the same time period. Second, they must have been prepared to invade the Great Wu Dynasty because of their anger. Third, perhaps they were sure that the Great Wu Dynasty did not have the ability to move them now. In the end, perhaps they had found a stronger backer and were ready to even the Great Wu Dynasty annexed.

The more thorough the problem is, the calmer my heart becomes. The surrounding countries are calm on the surface, and perhaps they all have bad ambitions. Even the weak Goryeo Kingdom will think about expanding its territory once it has an opportunity. This is human nature, no wonder. Of course, whoever annexes whom still needs to see who is strong.

I changed my horse and didn’t change my car on the road. I only took more than a day to go back to the capital. As soon as I returned to the palace, I didn’t even go back to Yangxinzhai. After changing into the dragon robe, I went straight to the Nan Study Room. At the same time, Xiao Duozi and other eunuchs accompanied me to inform several ministers of the matter.

I had just been sleeping in the Taishi Chair in the Nanshu Room for a while, and Tao Qian and others rushed to the scene. After asking, I found out that after these ministers knew that I was back, the first thing they wanted to discuss with them was to discuss the matter. None of them dared to go home to sleep, and they just rested in their own administrative department.

I was slightly moved. No matter how strong the foreign enemy is, as long as the internal work together, what kind of difficulties can't be overcome?

Especially the fat man Liu Zhenming, who was kneeling on the ground when he saw me, hugged my thighs, and kept saying that he wanted to die of Weichen. It really made me laugh and cry, but when I was annoyed by this boy, the tense atmosphere was instantly relieved. At the same time, it also made me feel a good feeling when I went home.

After everyone was given a seat, I returned to the Grand Master's chair this time, turned my eyes to Tao Qian, and said coldly: "Tao Aiqing, you are the Minister of Rites and are in charge of diplomacy. Tell me, what's going on?"

Tao Qian hurriedly stood up, bowed slightly, cleared his throat and said, "Report to the emperor, Dali, Tubo and Uighurs. They all surrendered to Dawu at the beginning of the founding of the Great Wu Dynasty. According to convention, they pay tribute every year and come to pay tribute every year."

"What are the changes in recent years?" I frowned slightly: "In addition, how is the situation of Chao Contribution last year?"

"Report to the emperor, these three countries have not had any major abnormal movements in recent years, and they are very obedient and disciplined. Moreover, the annual tribute last year was 20% more than usual. According to the principle they said, it was to celebrate the first ceremony of the new emperor's ascension." Tao Qian replied calmly: "Generally speaking, this is a very normal thing. Similarly, it can also be interpreted as a signal of showing kindness to the new emperor and expressing his willingness to continue to surrender."

"Hmph." I snorted lowly and said dissatisfied: "Similarly, it can also be interpreted as the other party has long been ambitions. I want to take advantage of the fact that the new emperor's foundation is not stable to carry out a full rebellion. The extra 20% of the year tribute is probably used to paralyze my Great Wu Dynasty? I'm afraid that they were not ready at last year. Now that everything is arranged, they officially broke up with Great Wu. Tao Qian, Tao Qian, you have been in the Ministry of Rites for so many years. How could you be so dereliction of duty?"

Upon hearing this, Tao Qian hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "The old minister is not careful, I hope the emperor will punish the old minister for death."

"I'm asking the emperor, I have something to say." Liu Zhenming stepped forward quickly and bowed.

Liu Zhenming may have been very busy recently. He seemed to have lost weight and had a lot of haggard face, which made me feel relieved. After all, Liu Zhenming's loyalty to me is undoubtedly.

"Tell me." I waved my hand.

"I heard from the emperor that I believe that although Lord Tao was negligent, it was not his fault." Liu Zhenming defended Tao Qian: "The three kingdoms of Dali, Tubo and Uighur have always been in good terms with Dawu, and have never had any other intentions. With this kind of mental absolution and no intention, it is reasonable to suffer a loss at first."

I looked at him. Liu Zhenming changed his surname? Although Tao Qian and both were polite on the surface, they were both polite and had a lot of skills in both open and secret. Although they were much restrained under my threat, they could not be able to suddenly get so sincerely to excuse each other, right?

Liu Zhenming clearly noticed my expression and hurriedly bowed to explain: "Emperor, although Weichen has a slight rift with Lord Tao, these are all trivial matters, and it is an internal matter of Da Wu. Now Da Wu is facing a crisis. If the ministers are not united, wouldn't it be that Da Wu is placed in dire straits?"

"It's OK." I hit my palms. When Liu Zhenming said this just now, I kept looking into his eyes. These words should have come from his heart and made my mind. Indeed, if the strong enemy is ahead, how can I overcome the difficulties if I don't twist into a rope?

"You are my dear ministers who can sit here." I walked slowly in the Nan study with my hands on my back, saying seriously: "Have you heard what Liu Aiqing said?"

"I, please unite and fight against foreign enemies together." Several important officials in the Nan Study immediately knelt down and swore.

"Okay, okay." I said a few good words in a row: "The king and his ministers are united, and their strengths are enough to cut off gold. How can I be afraid of rebelling just three small countries?"

"The king and his ministers are united, and their strengths are taken to cut off gold." The ministers followed me and shouted heavily.

For a moment, this small Nan Study room was filled with an indescribable aura. With this momentum, nothing could be solved.

"Tao Qian, I will not punish you for your fault for the time being, so I will write it down for now." I immediately announced my disposal to Tao Qian: "I will make contributions after you make contributions and make up for the merits. Get up now first, it is not a problem to kneel down like this."

Tao Qian kowtowed calmly again: "The old minister Tao Qian obeyed the order." As he said that, he got up and didn't dare to sit down again.

I pondered for a moment and asked, "Duan Hong, tell me. With the current military strength of our dynasty, can we deal with the war between the two sides at the same time?"

Without thinking, Duan Hong shook his head and replied: "Go back to the emperor, with the current military strength of our dynasty, it is impossible for us to deal with the war between the two sides at the same time. What's more, there are few people who provide timely assistance and many people who take advantage of the situation to rob. Even if our dynasty deals with the war between the two sides at the same time, we are afraid that those enemy countries that were originally afraid to move under our suppression will be ready to move. This is what I am most worried about."

I also understand this matter very closely. If you want to deal with the war between the two sides at the same time, you may have the strength to do so. Even if you can deal with it in front of you, let alone those hostile countries. Even if you are temporarily a member of Goryeo, Eastern Turks and other allies, you will be afraid that you will take advantage of the situation and robbery.

The current situation is that both sides of the east and west are almost at the same time. As for the coincidence, some people are intentionally doing it, and the deep meaning is worth experiencing it.

The ministers were silent again, and for a moment, the Nan Study room became quiet.

"Jian Lingtai, tell me what do you think?" I lay on the chair of the Grand Master, squinted my eyes and looked at this new officialdom. Although Jian Lingtai's official position was not high, he was deeply loved and valued by me. He was a minister who was focused on cultivating.

Jane Lingtai listened to my call and stood up calmly: "Return to the emperor. I think we should make peace with one party and concentrate on eating the other party. After adjusting our strength, we will start the battle again."

After hearing this, I couldn't help but nodded slightly and agreed: "This is indeed a correct idea. But who does Jane Eyrene want to make peace with?"

"I think that the three countries in the Western Regions have publicly declared that they had left the vassal of the Great Wu, which is clearly a way to break up with the Great Wu. Although the Eastern Japanese, although disturbing our seas and secretly attacked, they did not openly declare war with the Great Wu after all, and there was a lot of room for maneuver here." Jian Lingtai said calmly with a calm expression.

I breathed a sigh of relief, although what Jane Lingtai said was reasonable, but with my annoyingness towards Japan, I would not destroy him this time, and I would still have to give him a false promise. I was really unwilling to accept it.

Seeing that I was hesitant, Jian Lingtai said again: "Prince, please think twice. Although Japan is extremely hateful, it is separated from our dynasty, which is a natural barrier. Even if Japan has the intention to invade our Great Wu and is so far apart, it is not difficult to dispatch troops and generals, but to make supplies. Furthermore, the purpose of this trip to Japan is not our Great Wu Dynasty, but Goryeo. Only after Japan takes over Goryeo can it have a springboard for our dynasty."

Duan Hong nodded and agreed, "Mr. Jian's analysis is good. The three countries in the Western Regions are connected to our fertile soil, and it is hard to guard against it. If we have to make peace with one side, "Water is the most suitable."

I struggled without realizing it. One is to put the overall situation first and the other is to put selfish desires first. Two thoughts come and fall, and they are entangled.
