Chapter 723: The Weight of the Minister
"This candidate's description of Wei is indeed good, but it also means that it is a little bit underestimated by the strength of my Tang State, this is okay, Du Aiqing has anything to say about this candidate's views on the hidden dangers of Wei State?"
Li Yu didn't want to admit that Tang was weaker than Wei, but he wouldn't underestimate Wei, and now he said this, just to save face.
After Du Ruhui heard this, he continued: "This candidate said that the hidden danger of Wei State lies in the weight of the minister, that is to say, the power of the minister is too large, and some of the tails are too big, and sooner or later it will become a factor restricting the Wei State, and even let the Wei State rebel because of this, and the minister thinks that there is still some truth. "Wei Cao, the monarch of Wei State, is a generation of heroes, not only has a high literary accomplishment, but also thirsty for talent, good at using soldiers, just a few years, has made Wei a strong country in the Central Plains, its strength should not be underestimated, but he is also a little too trusting of his subordinates, to give his subordinates a lot of military power, such as Sima Yi, the prime minister of Wei, this person is skilled in the art of war, and is scheming, is the first strategist of Wei, Wei Cao is very trusting and dependent on him, so the affairs of the DPRK and China, have been handed over to him to deal with, and even more, he has been given a lot of military power, these will make the future of Wei uncertain. ”
Du Ruhui said this, Tang Yu nodded after listening, the situation in Wei is indeed like this, in his opinion, maybe when Wei Cao is here, Sima Yi can't make any waves, after all, Wei Cao is eloquent and can suppress Sima Yi.
But if Wei Cao is gone, it is difficult to say whether his heirs will be able to control Sima Yi.
Among Wei Cao's several princes, there are also many who are highly talented and capable, but to what extent, Li Yu and they are not very clear for the time being.
In fact, in Li Yu's view, these have little impact on them.
Whether it is an enemy of Wei Cao or an enemy of Sima Yi, they will face the powerful country of the Central Plains, even if Sima Yi takes Wei Cao's country, but with Sima Yi's ability, his country is still difficult to capture.
Sima Yi is not the Shen Tiannan of Qi State, he is much stronger than Shen Tiannan's ability.
What really made Li Yu feel that there was only one thing that could become a hidden danger to the Wei State, that is, the power of their family nobles was too great, which was much greater than when they were in the Tang Kingdom.
In the Wei State, their families can recruit soldiers and horses, and they have a large number of troops, but Wei Cao has not reacted to this so far, and this will become a hidden danger for them.
Of course, this hidden danger is beneficial to the Tang Kingdom, and the previous Tang Kingdom also had such hidden dangers, but they were eliminated by Li Yu one by one.
In Li Yu's opinion, the reason why Wei Cao ignored this may be that he was too confident in himself.
Li Yu thought about these things in his heart, but he didn't say it, so far, they were not the most direct enemies with the Wei State, so it was useless to think too much.
"It seems that Du Aiqing is very supportive of this candidate's opinion, okay, then I'll take a look at who this person is."
As he spoke, Li Yu privately pasted the paper, and after opening it, there was a name written on it: Shangguan Yi.
Du Ruhui is very unfamiliar with this name, because this person was not very conspicuous in the entire capital before this, and he was able to say this, which was really a bit hidden.
When Li Yu saw this name, he showed a slight smile, but he didn't say much, but continued to pick up other scrolls and read them.
Li Yu knew a lot about the remarks of Liang Guo and Turkic, and he was not very interested, but at the end, he saw a person who wrote about the countries of the Western Regions, which made Li Yu a little interested.
The countries of the Western Regions are actually not strangers to them, but more of them are still trade exchanges, and there are more situations for the countries of the Western Regions.
Li Yu opened the scroll, and when he saw the first paragraph, he was stunned for a moment, because this candidate said that if you want the Tang Kingdom to be economically rich and strong, you must control the countries of the Western Regions and control the entire Silk Road.
This is not for the analysis of the countries of the Western Regions, but for the Tang Kingdom, when he saw this sentence, Li Yu felt that this candidate was really a smart person, because he made a summary first, and this summary attracted him to continue reading.
In other words, this candidate made a final summary through the analysis of the countries of the Western Regions: control of the Western Regions.
Li Yu read it with interest, and this examinee still had a very detailed explanation of the situation in the countries of the Western Regions. For example, he said that the Western Regions is a very large region, and there are many countries on it, and there are conquests and wars from time to time, but it is difficult for them to form a unified country, because the strength of each other's countries is about the same, and there are too many countries, of course, the most important thing is that the countries in this place attack each other only for profit, and they have no idea of unifying other countries. Therefore, although they attack each other, it is difficult to get real growth, but despite this, their trade wants to be developed, because their position is very superior, they can trade with the civilization of the big food country, and they can also trade with the civilized countries of China, they are between the two major civilizations, and the development of commerce and trade is enviable.
Control the Silk Road and let the countries of the Western Regions lean towards the Tang State, and in a short period of time, the Tang State will soon become rich and strong.
After Li Yu read it in detail, he showed a slight smile, because he felt that what this candidate said was still very good, especially the idea of the unification of the countries in the Western Regions.
On the side of the Chinese countries, there is a very strong desire for reunification, no matter how you annex, the ultimate goal is to become a unified country, because this idea has been deeply ingrained in the bone marrow of every Chinese person.
As long as he has this ability, he will want to do this, he Li Yu thought, he believes that Wei Cao of Wei State must also think, and even other countries, Song State, Zhou State, etc., all want to.
If they are given the opportunity, they will definitely do it.
However, the countries of the Western Regions are different, and their civilizations and cultures are very different from theirs, or their beliefs are different, and different beliefs will produce different results.
They value interests, not reunification.
"What this candidate said is not bad, I really have the ideas he said, but there are still many small countries on the Silk Road, and I don't have the energy to get rid of them now, so I can leave for the time being, so I won't talk about him, let me see who this person is."
As he spoke, Li Yu tore open the paste, and after tearing it open, he smiled: "Han Feiyan, this is the person who found out that the exam questions were leaked, right?" ”
Du Ruhui found out that it was him, and hurriedly nodded: "Shengshang, this is this person." Li Yu nodded: "It seems that this person still has some real talent, let him be a jinshi, that Shangguanyi, and be the champion." ”
