"Your Majesty, good news!"

The emperor was sitting on the dragon chair, listening to the popularization of grain varieties reported by the great priest, when suddenly there was a report of the military situation from outside the hall.

In Great Xia, military intelligence could be directly entered into the main hall and presented to the emperor without going through any means.

"Bring it to me!" When the emperor heard the good news, he was also full of joy. He opened the piece and read it carefully, and suddenly the dragon's heart was happy, "Okay! Gu Mo's contribution is not small! In just two months, he has taken back all the lost cities and driven the Nanyue people back beyond the border! ”

"Congratulations to my father!" The eldest prince can only walk around after careful recuperation, and he can't overwork or exert himself. "Now that I have won a big victory in Daxia, I don't know when the class teacher will return to the court? I'm going out to meet it myself. ”

The emperor frowned and didn't speak, Gu Mo's letter was also here to ask for instructions on the next move, "Pan Aiqing, what do you think?" ”

Taishi Pan came out of the line with a smile and saluted, "Your Majesty, this time Nanyue is here, obviously challenging the national prestige of my Great Xia and instructing them to be driven out...... Isn't it a little too soft? ”

"Master Pan's words are wrong!" The eldest prince felt a little weak in his heart, what did Taishi Pan mean to continue fighting? Wouldn't it be bad if Nanyue was in a hurry and confessed herself? "Great Xia has always been friendly to its neighbors, and this time it has demonstrated the strength of our great power by driving Nanyue out of the country. If you chase and fight, you will inevitably lose your bearing. ”

The old minister agreed with the prince's opinion, "Cheng Laoguo Gong should be relieved of his title and should not go to court again." But he was a veteran of the two dynasties, and the emperor respected these older generations very much, and allowed them to attend court meetings.

"Become an old man?" The Emperor was slightly surprised. Then his face turned gloomy. It is said that this expulsion of Nanyue was Gu Mo in charge, and now that he has won the victory, it is naturally the first achievement. But if the fight continues, it is very likely that Nanyue will suffer heavy losses, and when the time comes, take the initiative to surrender or negotiate peace, and the benefits of Great Xia are obvious.

What is the reason why the ancient prince does not approve of continuing to fight? The safety of grandchildren? The emperor sneered in his heart, since he knew Gu Mo's life experience. The emperor focused on the investigation, and was very annoyed by the Chengguo Mansion. Now seeing the ancient prince, in order to restrain Gu Mo, he actually spoke to obstruct his future. It's even more popular.

He threw the chapter to Father-in-law Yu and sighed with a smile, "From ancient times to the present, all emperors. All of them are meritorious in opening up and expanding territory. I have been on the throne for so many years. In addition to some achievements in agriculture in recent years, it is difficult to compare with Emperor Gaozu, which is really ashamed. ”

Why did you suddenly blame yourself? The ministers couldn't guess the emperor's thoughts, and couldn't help but look at each other. Only a few people understood that the emperor was going to continue to use troops.

"Nanyue is just a land of projectiles. It's just that the terrain in his own country is complicated, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are some evil ways. That's why it's been going on for hundreds of years. The British Duke said, "Since Nanyue dares to anger Long Wei this time. You have to suffer the consequences! Weichen seconded Pan's suggestion. ”

The emperor smiled slightly, "In these years, there have been no major wars in the countries, and a little friction is just a laugh. But this time...... I decided to have this Nanyue! ”

There was silence in the main hall. The emperor is going to destroy Nanyue! There has been no such war in Great Xia for more than ten years, and it is somewhat heavy on literature and light on military force. This is also one of the reasons why the good generals of Great Xia are not in succession.

"Father! Think again! The eldest prince eagerly stepped forward and said, "If we forcibly occupy Nanyue, how will Xihua sit idly by?" Will other small countries endanger themselves? If they take refuge in Xihua, we will lose more than we gain! ”

The emperor looked at the eldest prince coldly, and couldn't help but feel disappointed when he thought of the stupid move he had done before, "I have already decided, now that the national strength of Great Xia is here, even Xihua does not dare to act lightly." What's more, the two countries have just signed a peace treaty! As for the other small countries, if they are smart, they will come to my Great Xia. What if it takes refuge in Xihua? Don't you think which one is more beneficial, the subject or your own territory? ”

The subjects are just paying tribute every year! When you want to not be nice to you, you can turn around and take refuge in others!

But their own territory is different! That is their own territory, and whoever dares to mess around is a rebellion!

"Say no more! Nanyue, I'm going to decide! The emperor waved his dragon sleeves, "If you don't kill chickens and monkeys this time, will other countries want to provoke them in the future?" Big deal and quit again? ”

Everyone was silent, and no one could deny that the emperor's words were very reasonable. Even the eldest prince didn't dare to say anything, but secretly thought about future countermeasures.

"Spread the decree, let Gu Mo lead the army, and give me the southern moon to be flattened! If I really bring Nanyue into the territory of Great Xia, and fulfill my wish to expand my territory, I will be rewarded! ”

The credit for expanding the territory is not an ordinary feat! Everyone was silently calculating in their hearts, this Gu Mo was really lucky. If it is really successful, at least you can get a marquis, or even a duke directly!

Cheng Lao Guogong was shocked and depressed in his heart, this little actually had such good luck! If he really won the knighthood, then his children and grandchildren would not be able to raise their heads! He lamented in his heart, if this Gu Mo obeyed the Gu family's words, or had a handle in the Gu family, no matter how much he achieved in the future, he would be extremely happy. With him supporting the Gu family, I can't say that the Gu family will be more prominent.

But their family's indifference and disgust to Gu Mo is not a matter of a day or two. Gu Mo understands that even if he changes his attitude now, he can't reverse the situation.

The old man can see clearly, rather than relying on Gu Mo, it is better to fulfill his thoughts. He remembered that he still had this surname, and the relationship between the third child and his father and son, so he would not turn his face somewhat. When the time comes, we will find a way to slowly ease the relationship. Anyway, he had plans to divide the three rooms. This time, it's better to use this as an excuse to listen to it.

Not to mention that the eldest prince hated Gu Mo to death, it was said that after Gu Mo received the emperor's will a few days later, his blood was also boiling.

Good man, who doesn't want to make some achievements? What's more, in this secret decree, the emperor also implied many hints.

Originally, the emperor meant to let him go back and receive a knighthood after getting rid of Nanyue. It may not be very high, but it can be regarded as a direct noble. However, in this secret decree, the emperor hinted that Nanyue was remote and the terrain was complicated, and it would be difficult to manage even if it was collected in Great Xia.

This is to tell him plainly that as long as Nanyue is laid, Gu Mo will be able to manage this place in the future. That's a lot better than having a knighthood in the air! (To be continued.) )
