In the inner study, the bell has struck six times.

The father and son stood opposite each other, not talking about the common people, nor about ghosts and gods, but just talking about the words of "the imperial power controls the Wude Palace as a counterweight knife".

No words were spoken, and no one else was present. The son has won the bet and taken the most difficult first step, and Liu Sheng is no longer the shrunken king who is jokingly called by insiders, but has become a cunning fox.

"Your Majesty wants to do it, so that your words can be used. Your Majesty doesn't want to, and your remarks are useless. What Wude Palace is, you should know it in your heart. If you have ambitions and worries about the world, you must not know how to advance and retreat. ”

"What is advance and retreat? Enter, is what His Majesty wants to do, if it is with you, seize the opportunity to do it well; Retreat, that is, what Your Majesty doesn't want to do, but what you want to do, it's not that you can't do it, but you can't do it directly, let alone write a book all day long. If you want to do it, you will also plan it in advance, do it secretly, and wait until it comes naturally, and there is no change. ”

"Have you figured out what Your Majesty is going to do?"

If this is heard by a third person, whether intentionally or unintentionally, it is a disrespectful remark.

Originally, Liu Sheng thought that Liu Yu was still young, and he hadn't talked about it before.

Even when the Western school ban incident occurred, Liu Yu was only warned by knocking on the corners, and many things were not discussed in depth.

But Liu Yu has been gone for more than a year and has done several things...... Especially the low-key performance in the siege of the Ergun River Fortress, Liu Sheng felt that Liu Yu had seen some things clearly, and this could be discussed.

Liu Yu thought to himself, I don't need you to tell me, what kind of virtue is this thing of imperial power, I understand it too well. It's just a fellow traveler before the fork in the road, and he uses me and I use him.

Liu Sheng never thought that Liu Yu's thoughts were even more terrifying than he could imagine, and now he is just thinking about "figuring out the upper meaning".

Liu Sheng has read all the notes and annotations in the four books.

Like Liu Yu's opinion, this is the emperor deliberately missing the topic, and it is also a signal that he wants to reuse Liu Yu as a wadder.

It's just that this road, where to go, you need to think clearly first.

Liu Yu held the "Book of Han", flipped through the "Biography of Zhang Qian and Li Guangli", and said after a moment: "My son has other ideas about this matter. What does my father think will be the reaction of the DPRK and China to the matter of taking the Western Regions? ”

"There will be no objection."

Liu Yu also agreed with this statement and said with a smile: "In this way, is it necessary to slap the horse and sing praises for the article?" Is what Your Majesty lacks to prove that it is the right strategy to take the Western Regions? Besides, Your Majesty should know my level, and I am afraid of being smiling and generous. ”

"One is that I prospered in Xijing, and Taizu, Taizong, Sejong, and Gaozong were all born in Tianbao Mansion. The affairs of the west must be decided. Those who set their capital in Chang'an, there are no people who do not camp in the Western Regions. Although my dynasty is set in Beijing, but the west of Beijing is important, how can I allow others to dance swords beside me? ”

"Second, Mongolia is dead. I divided the land of Mongolia with the Rakshasas. The Dzungar Department is not Khalkha, but has a handicraft industry, can smelt iron, can make artillery, Galdan has the name of Khan, if you do not destroy the Dzungaria, let it unify Mongolia again, I am afraid of civil disasters. If we don't want the Son of Heaven to defend the country, then we will definitely fight. ”

The Dzungar Dashun is definitely going to fight, and the whole country knows this.

The reason why I didn't fight before, or I said that I fought a small fight, was just to raise a tiger as a deterrent, so that the wolf in the north could learn how to howl.

Now that the Khalkha Ministry has been submissive, and the former wolf has learned to howl, it is necessary to consider killing the tiger.

The Dzungar Ministry is the Ross family, not the Golden Family.

The fate of the non-golden family called Khan, and the first Taishi, who had played such a reputation as Tumu Fort, had already given a precedent.

However, the Dzungar tribe had an official khanate and had a religious leader in Mongolia after the signing of the Khalkha-Warat Code.

Galdan of the Dzungar tribe was knighted by religious leaders.

The inaccurate analogy is equivalent to the Pope crowning Napoleon, the kingdom being elevated to an empire, and Galdan being called Khan as a descendant of the Zoros family rather than the Pora family, which is very appealing in Mongolia, where the Yellow Sect is the ethnic religion.

Since the whole dynasty has this consciousness, coupled with the ideological reasons of Dashun, there should be no opposition to the restoration of the Western Regions. Even if there is opposition, it is easy to be deducted as a "traitor to the country".

Don't look at the problem of the specifications of the Rakshasa Mission, the counselors are shouting, and they shouldn't be shouting about this kind of thing in the Western Regions.

So the question arises.

The emperor gave Liu Yu a copy of the Book of Han, which was clearly sandwiched on the biographical pages of Bowanghou and Li Ershi.

It should not be to let these people write about how important it is to conquer the Western Regions, let alone let them write about how to conquer the Western Regions.

As soon as he said this, Liu Sheng also felt that this was indeed the case.

The three strategies of the Wude Palace examination, the strategy of the art of war, must be a "controlled soldier"; Political discussion and policy must be "internal and external".

Historical strategy, if the emperor is ready to miss the topic and release the water to hand-pick, what is "The Biography of Zhang Qian and Li Guangli" about?

The opportunity has been given, and if you don't use it to give you the opportunity, or even figure it out, it will inevitably be a waste of opportunity.

To find a gunman, you have to first get out the problem, point out the problem and the idea, and then the gunman will polish it.

Liu Sheng pondered for a long time, and wondered: "Could it be that you want to talk about the frontier policy?" Although Tang had the protection of Anxi, Gao Xianzhi was so greedy and violent that the countries in the Western Regions had a rebellious heart, and finally caused the defeat of Talas? ”

Liu Yu shook his head.

"If so, Your Majesty will give me three books. In the biography of Gao Xianzhi in "Old Tang Dynasty", I put a note there. Moreover, at this time, it is different from the Tang Dynasty, there are Dzungar in the Western Regions, how can there be any small country? ”

"Well, that's right." Liu Sheng smacked for a while, and also felt that what Liu Yu said made sense, and it shouldn't be what he meant.

I took the "Book of Han" and read it carefully, and when I read it, "When the minister was in Great Xia, he saw Qiong bamboo cane and Shu cloth, and asked for this, and the people of Great Xia said: 'Wujia people go to the city to poison the country. The poison country is thousands of miles southeast of Great Xia. Its indigenous people are the same as the Great Xia, and the damp and hot summer are low, and their people take the elephant to fight. His country borders the great waters......"

Surprised, surprised: "Could it be Your Majesty's intention, in India?" Zhang Qian saw the bamboo canes and cloth in Shu in Bactria and concluded that there was a road from the southwest to India...... Mo Fei, Mo Fei...... Could it be that His Majesty wants to capture Dzungaria and then attack India, thinking that he will leave a name for eternity? ”

Liu Yu laughed out loud, and said in his heart that I felt that my brain hole was "already" the biggest in the world, but I didn't expect to see my father to know that I was just "almost".

"My father has been out of battle for a long time, and he can even say such things. This trip to Dzungaria is not less than 10,000 miles. After returning to the righteous army, there was no Chinese sound for 600 years. There is no grain and grass, and there is no cultivation, not to mention that India now has a big country, even if there is no logistics, how can this go to India? Defeat Dzungaria and then attack India, my father's idea is ...... It's really ......."

"Hahaha......" Liu Sheng himself laughed, figuring out what he wanted, it was really not easy, he even came up with such an unreliable idea.

Just when he laughed and thought that he was wrong, Liu Yu said again: "But my father's words are not unreasonable. ”

After speaking, he turned out the annotations sandwiched in the "History of the Song Dynasty" and said: "Your Majesty said: The lessons of the national dynasty should be examined in the Han, Tang, Song, and Ming dynasties. That is to say, it is neither the whole Han nor the whole Tang Dynasty, and it needs to be considered comprehensively. If we take the millennium theory and mix the affairs of the Han, Tang, Song and Ming dynasties, this is another way. ”

"In the Han Dynasty, it was for the Xiongnu. But it was Wei Hussar and Huo Champion who broke the Huns, not Zhang Qian and Li Guangli. Your Majesty has used this column to convey to me, I am afraid that the intention is to 'benefit the wealth and goods of the Western Regions'. ”

"The Han and Tang dynasties operated the Western Regions, one was to guard against nomadic herding to obtain fertile water and grass in the Western Regions, and the other was to communicate with the trade of Western countries. Especially after the Han and Tang Dynasties hollowed out the Western Regions, they earned millions of dollars a year, which was Zhang Bowang's great achievement. ”

"Now that the times are changing, I only think about the experience of the Han and Tang Dynasties, that is, carving a boat to seek a sword."

"Since I don't carve a boat to ask for a sword, my father thinks, where is the 'Han and Tang Western Regions' of my dynasty?"

Hearing such a problem-solving direction, Liu Sheng took a deep breath and felt that it seemed to make a lot of sense. In the previous conversation, he knew some of Liu Yu's thoughts, and asked suspiciously: "You mean...... The 'Western Regions' of the Dynasty, in the South Seas? Do you want to solve the problem from this? ”

Liu Yu got up, turned around a few times in front of his father and said, "Yes, I want to solve the problem from this." ”

"The 'Western Regions' of my dynasty is in the South Seas. Hollowing out the Western Regions is the benefit of wealth. ”

"The 'Shuofang, Yanmen, and Liaodong' of my dynasty are in the Western Regions geographically."

"The Northeast has been decided, after the plough court sweeps the caves, the Han people in Liaodong breed, all of them are immigrants from Shandong, Henan, and Hebei, and there is no disaster in Liaodong. The Khalkha surrendered, and was sandwiched between the Rakshasa and the Central Plains, and the firearms were out, and the feudal system was divided, and it had no power to cause chaos. ”

"Southwest Toast, it's not worth mentioning. Even if there is chaos, the previous dynasty opened up Yunnan for 300 years, and our dynasty has accumulated strength, and there will be no disaster. ”

"On the snow-capped mountains, there is no Tibet."

"Then, the border troubles such as 'Shuofang, Yanmen, and Liaodong' in our dynasty are actually in the Western Regions. And the "Western Regions" of our dynasty, which is "the benefit of east-west exchanges", is in the South China Sea. ”

"Zhang Qian chiseled the Western Regions, so the Han Dynasty earned one million; Tang has the protection of Anxi, so Chang'an has pepper gems. Now that the dry road has been abandoned, the Westerners sail thousands of miles, and the Western Regions is no longer the place where the east and the west converged in the Han and Tang dynasties. If we want to have the advantage of 'hollowing out the Western Regions', we must manage the South China Sea. Nanyang is the benefit of the Western Regions of our dynasty. ”

"And the geographical Western Regions, north of the Rakshasa and west of the nomadic pastoral, yellow and green religions are mixed, the self-return righteous army is defeated, and six hundred years have not heard the sound of Han, if this place is not well managed, it will be the Shuofang of the Han Dynasty and the Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty in the future."

"Compared with the Han, Tang, Song and Ming dynasties, then the Yangguan of our dynasty should be a bend; The capital of Liaodong in my dynasty should be the Western Regions; The Turkic Xiongnu of our dynasty should be the Western countries; I will go to Western Xia, and I should be Annam, Burma...... As for the rakshasa, it is just the great food in the battle of Talas, its strength has been exhausted, Siberia is bitter cold, even if it borders, it is only a battle of a thousand people, and it will not hurt in a hundred years, unless there are chariots and horses that can carry thousands of horses through Siberia after a hundred years. ”

"With the bend of the platform as the Yangguan, I will be the protector of Anxi, and it should be in the countries of Malacca; I am facing the North Garden Metropolitan Protectorate, which should be the Japanese Ryukyus. ”

"With the benefit of sailboats, Annanmi is the Tunsu of the Anxi Army; If you get the hero of firearms, then the Japanese bronze and silver are the soldiers of the North Garden. Compete for dominance at sea, drive to Western countries, and hunt in the South Sea. ”

"The ocean is soup, and the shore is a wok! The boat is a knife and a sword, and it is divided into South Sea elk! In this way, Fang did not carve a boat to seek a sword, but observed the gains and losses of the Han, Tang, Song, and Ming dynasties. ”

"Father thinks it's okay to solve the problem like this?"
