The emperor also said at the beginning that the king of the southern Xinjiang country may have come from a bad person.

Therefore, he decided to face it himself with royal benevolence and righteousness.

Let Chen Xiao go to receive the king of the Southern Xinjiang Country, and show the domineering of the Dragon Kingdom!

But, how small is the southern Xinjiang country? Why is he not good at daring to come?

Of course, there is a reason for this, that is, some small countries are very troublesome.

It's as if at this moment, a minister said: "Your Majesty, this southern frontier country is here, and the minister thinks it's better to have a good talk."

Over the years, although the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom is a subsidiary Dragon Country, there are many countries of the same size as the Southern Xinjiang Country around, and they often harass the border.

This time, if we don't give an explanation to the king of the southern Xinjiang country, the minister is worried that the people of the southern Xinjiang country will not accept it and will harass our border! ”

At the mention of this, the emperor also seemed to have a bit of a headache, and said:

"That's a problem. To be honest, I'm also very curious, why do some small and medium-sized countries, obviously not the opponent of the Dragon Kingdom, always come to the border from time to time to make trouble? On the contrary, some big countries only dare to fight in secret, and will not easily use troops. ”

One of the ministers said, "Your Majesty, this is ...... This has always been the case with small countries, and our big countries can only give them some benefits. ”

"yes, deal with this situation, give a little benefit, and they will be quiet." A civil official said.

There are also military attachés who disagree: "I think that if they dare to harass us, we will just fight, including this time in the southern frontier country, they are really dissatisfied with something, and if they want to harass our border, then we will fight back!" ”

As a result, the officials all expressed their positions, saying official words one by one, and they were going to talk at every turn to give them some benefits. Or if they harass, hit them.

But the emperor shook his head: "Give them benefits, they will still be like this after a while." If they harass them, they beat them, they retreated, and they will come back next time, and they will not get tired of it, but it can't be solved at all! ”

Everyone nodded, this is the trouble of big countries in the face of small countries around them, some small countries are sensible and submit to the dragon country, which is okay.

Some just don't do it, it's cheap, and it's three days and two ends at the border to make small moves, although it doesn't have a big impact on the dragon country, but, it's very annoying!

At this time, Chen Xiao suddenly said: "Actually, the reason is very simple! ”

A minister looked at Chen Xiao and said, "Oh? Master Chen understands? So why not talk about it? ”

Everyone also looked at Chen Xiao, obviously, they didn't believe that Chen Xiao could have any opinions on this matter.

I heard Chen Xiao say: "These small countries are so bold and make a small fuss on the border of the Dragon Country, just because they know that the Dragon Country is a big country, and it is not easy to go to war."

The dragon kingdom can't take any trouble but compromise to give them some benefits. And using troops to fight them seems to be a big country and stingy, and the use of troops will cost a lot of money, which is not cost-effective.

Therefore, they often provoke the great powers, even if they appear to be awesome, but they can also reap the benefits, why not do it? On the contrary, the Dragon Kingdom will still compromise, how good is that?

For another example, if there is a good man in the village and a big family, there will always be people who want to take advantage of him. Even if they give benefits to others, others will only be unscrupulous, and even go to the good people to steal.

The great good man has money, but he was provoked by some little scoundrels, so he chose to settle the matter and give some money. It seems to have sent away the little scoundrels, but it also contributed to the atmosphere of the little scoundrels.

As a result, the little scoundrel is getting more and more excessive! And this great good man is like the dragon kingdom. And the attitude of the Dragon Kingdom towards these small countries is not exactly ...... The royal road of the rule of benevolence and righteousness? ”

Everyone nodded, thinking that what they said made sense.

Chen Xiao continued: "And there is another family, who is a wicked person, and on weekdays, he bullies others from time to time, so that the people in the village are afraid of him.

Even if an orange tree in front of his house is full of oranges, passers-by don't dare to pick one, let alone anyone who dares to take advantage of him.

And this big villain occasionally goes to the surrounding villagers' houses from time to time to collect oil and water, and in the end, these people have to pay money to the big villain every year to prevent the big villain from bullying them.

And the dragon kingdom is to become such a wicked person. There is only one way to prevent the border from being harassed by small countries, and that is to harass them. This is, domineering! ”

"Well, well said!"

An old minister spoke, looked at Chen Xiao with admiration, and continued:

"This, as you said earlier, is really in line with what you said before, the royal road is at home and the domineering is at home. At a young age, such an insight, the old man admires! ”

Chen Xiao smiled implicitly!

The emperor also nodded: "Indeed, Chen Xiao's analysis is very good. ”

"But, Your Majesty, according to Lord Chen's intentions, if we want to get rid of the harassment of these small countries, we must take the initiative to harass them? So, what about our great power demeanor? An official spoke!

Chen Xiao glanced at the minister who was speaking, and said, "Then this lord, is there a better way?" Or is the demeanor of a great country that you are bullied yourself, not others? ”

The minister opened his mouth and didn't know what to say, Chen Xiao continued:

"Use the demeanor of a great country to maintain the dignity of a great country, and this is the demeanor of a great country!"

The minister was stunned, and he didn't understand this sentence too well, but it just sounded very reasonable.

So, he had nothing to say.

The emperor was silent for a moment and said, "This is indeed the royal domineering theory at the beginning, no matter what, it is a good way." In this way, the Ministry of War, send some more garrisons, at important border passes all over the country, those who like to provoke our Dragon Kingdom, take the initiative to provoke them! ”

The military department Shangshu arched his hand: "Yes, Your Majesty!" ”

"That's it today, retreat!" The Emperor got up.

After the hundred officials bowed down to the mountain and shouted long live, they left in an orderly manner one by one.

Chen Xiao also turned around, walked out of the main hall, and went directly to the palace school.

Today, the emperor asked him to participate in the court meeting, first, he took the school to test Chen Xiao, and second, he also gave Chen Xiao a task.

The king of the southern Xinjiang country still had to come to the Dragon Kingdom in person, and when he asked about his son's death, it was indeed a little embarrassing for Chen Xiao to let Chen Xiao do it.

After all, the son of the king of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom was killed by Chen Xiao's order.

However, combined with the theory of royal hegemony, coupled with the emperor's saying that he wanted to be a benevolent and righteous saint set up by the royal way.

Then it is obvious that Chen Xiao wants to treat the king of the southern Xinjiang country with domineering.

In other words, the emperor must maintain a good character of the holy monarch, and Chen Xiao should be a bad guy!

Chen Xiao sighed along the way, always feeling that the emperor was taking revenge on his fifth son?

This black pot has been rounded, and you still have to carry it yourself?

When he arrived at the palace, Chen Xiao glanced at the five princes, and the more he looked at it, the more unhappy he became.

Suddenly, he had an idea and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, as children of the royal family, you should also do things for the country. Today, the reason why I came late is because His Majesty gave me a task to receive foreign envoys, is there anyone who is willing to be my assistant to help me receive them? ”

As soon as he heard this, the fifth prince became energetic, he liked to have good relations with various countries the most, and he wanted to help the prince of southern Xinjiang to exonerate himself, which was also the purpose.

So at this moment, without thinking about it, he said, "I, I do!" ”

Chen Xiao smiled and nodded: "Okay, very good, you are worthy of being the most favorite of all princes to establish diplomatic relations, I am optimistic about you." ”

Actually, he was thinking in his heart: Haha, emperor, you didn't expect it. You want me to carry the pot again, and I'm going to pull your son into the water again......

At this moment, he looked at the five princes, how kind he looked, and he really wanted to shout out to the fifth uncle in public......
