Chapter 146: Can You Do It?
"That's fine." Chu Nanyue replied, "I have already asked my subordinates to transfer it to Shou Anhou, and Lord Zhao doesn't have to blame himself." ”
Zhao Jingyu was relieved when he saw that Chu Nanyue didn't blame himself.
As for the intention of coming to Chu Nanyue here today, Zhao Jingyu only said to Chu Nanyue now: "General Chu, there is news from the Ministry of War that several neighboring small countries in the south are fighting each other because of the competition for power, and the people on the border of Donglin are also troubled because of this. ”
Chu Nanyue hurriedly asked, "When did this happen?" Why hasn't the emperor mentioned it? ”
"Counting the events of the past few days, the emperor thinks that it is just a small country fighting, and it is not worth talking about it in the court, for fear of causing panic among the people below. Today, the Ministry of War only knew about this, and it was probably only known to people close to the emperor before. Zhao Jingyu recalled.
And Chu Nanyue remembered that at the birthday banquet that day, after Tanglin Shuo helped him, he wanted to say anything, but he was called by Dongling Hong, saying that he wanted to enter the palace to meet the emperor.
I forgot about it before, but now that I think about it, it may be for this purpose.
She was still thinking about it, and heard Zhao Jingyu say again: "General Chu, since the emperor has informed the military department, I guess the next step may be to ask the general." General Chu was still well prepared earlier. ”
Chu Nanyue nodded and replied, "Thank you, Lord Zhao, for reminding me." ”
And as Zhao Jingyu said, at noon that day, Chu Nanyue received a summons from the emperor, saying that there was something in the imperial study. As for the person who led the way, it was actually the chief eunuch beside the emperor.
Along the way, the chief eunuch has already explained the ins and outs of the matter, which is probably no different from what Zhao Jingyu said.
It turned out that the emperor had only been a small dispute between a few small neighboring states. But recently, the people on the Tanglin border have not only been harassed, but also resentful.
Only then did the emperor begin to worry that once the matter became bigger, it would get out of control, and even involve Tanglin in this dispute. So I want to intervene and deal with this matter as soon as possible.
Chu Nanyue entered the imperial study, only to see Dongling Shuo and Dongling Hong, and even Dongling Yan was here.
"General Chu, you must already know this matter. A few small countries are insignificant, but I can't ignore the safety of the people of Tanglin. The Emperor said.
Chu Nanyue understood it, and looking at the three princes' expressions of silence, he knew that they had already expressed their respective opinions.
It's just that even after listening to them, the emperor still hasn't made a decision. Only then was Chu Nanyue invited over, wanting to hear Chu Nanyue's opinion.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Chu Nanyue saluted.
Chu Nanyue sorted out the ins and outs, as well as the diplomatic relations between the surrounding small countries that he understood when he led the army to fight.
"Your Majesty, those small countries, Tanglin seems to have signed some kind of treaty with them." Chu Nanyue asked. "When it is said to be peaceful, Tanglin cannot intervene in their disputes."
"Exactly." "But I can't watch things develop, if they cause war for a long time, what will happen to me Tangling?" ”
The emperor actually didn't like war, and Tanglin fought for five years, and now he was settled, and he didn't want to get involved in other troubles.
But Tanglin has been silent, and the people of Tanglin have suffered, which is also not in line with the emperor's character.
Chu Nanyue thought about this matter quietly, it was really difficult to deal with it.
And a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in her mind, and she only said: "Your Majesty, I, Tanglin, cannot intervene militarily, but I can put pressure on those countries to force them to settle their disputes peacefully as soon as possible, focusing on the economy." ”
When the emperor heard this, he finally smiled, and praised again and again: "General Chu is reasonable, you might as well talk about it in detail." ”
It turned out that for a few days, the emperor had been thinking about military affairs. Because those small countries also asked Tanglin for help, they asked Tanglin to give military help.
But once Tanglin is gone, it will provide an excuse for other countries, saying that Tanglin is big and now bullying neighboring countries.
The emperor was entangled by this idea, and he was anxious, and it was not until Chu Nanyue came today that he gave the emperor a new idea.
"In his spare time, he also occasionally paid attention to China's trade exchanges with neighboring countries. Tanglin is a vast land, and many countries rely on Tanglin's products. If His Majesty had ordered the merchants to temporarily suspend certain trade, those small countries would naturally understand the Emperor's hints. Chu Nanyue explained.
"General Chu is a good plan!" Dongling Shuo on the side took the lead in appreciating, "Today, thanks to General Chu, he saved a few of us." ”
Chu Nanyue knew that Dongling Shuo's latter sentence was a joke, and also said: "The Sixth Highness is humble. It's only a matter of time, even if there is no general, the three of you brothers and the emperor will definitely be able to think of this. ”
The emperor has always admired Chu Nanyue's talent, but now he has no intention of being jealous, he only smiled: "General Chu doesn't need to give them face, he hasn't had an idea these days, if it's really like what General Chu said, there is no need to wait until today." ”
Hearing this, Tanglin Shuo just smiled, but Dongling Hong looked dissatisfied and couldn't refute it. As for Donglinyan, he didn't have any expression, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
I heard the emperor immediately instruct: "General Chu, if this matter is handed over to you, can you handle it?" ”
Without waiting for Chu Nanyue to answer, Dongling Hong stood up and said: "Father Mo is not mistaken, this financial matter is managed by the household department, although General Chu is talented, he is a military general, and it is probably not suitable." ”
The emperor just said a hypothesis, and it was not suitable to react at the moment, so he waved his hand and said: "Hong'er is right, this matter should be handed over to the household." ”
"The Emperor Shengming!" Several people said in unison.
The matter was already discussed, and they all took their leave. Dongling Shuo deliberately waited for Chu Nanyue for a few steps, planning to leave the palace with her.
The dispute between small border countries can be regarded as having an eyebrow for resolution. It's just that Chu Nanyue's original credit has to be handed over to the household department.
Dongling Shuo asked: "General Chu can think of this kind of strategy, and he is almost certain if he thinks about it, my second brother rashly opened his mouth and stopped such an errand, does General Chu feel lost?" ”
"Not really." Chu Nanyue said with a smile, "It is indeed easy to make suggestions and suggestions, but it is difficult to implement. I didn't expect that the emperor would deliberately hand over the errand to me, and the household department is the only one who specializes in the art industry. Since it's something I don't control, I don't feel so lost if I lose it. ”
Donglin Shuo listened to her words relaxed and comfortable, and knew that she really did not feel lonely because of this, so she was also relieved.
And the two of them were together, and they wanted to go outside the palace, but Tanglin Shuo suddenly remembered something, and said to Chu Nanyue: "General Chu has come to the palace many times, have you ever been to the imperial garden?" ”
Chu Nanyue didn't expect Tanglin Shuo to suddenly ask about this, and couldn't help but shake his head.
And Tanglin Shuo smiled gently and invited: "It's hard to solve the matter today, I don't know if I have the honor to invite General Chu to visit?" ”
