Chapter 22 Formulating a plan for defeating the country
Soon, the day of the settlement of national strength arrived, and unsurprisingly, the national strength rose.
And instead of rising by one and a half points, it has risen directly by more than two hundred points.
Li Cheng wanted to cry and looked at the blue screen in front of him without tears.
[Check the current national power value of the Tang Empire: 1470 (↑)]
[Bonus host lifespan 200 years, current host lifespan: 221 years]
[The specific source of the increase in national strength, please check it by yourself]
Current lifespan 221 years?
That's a long life......
Li Cheng was not at all happy about his life.
If you were Qin Shi Huang, those emperors might be ecstatic about these longevity.
But he's different......
He is a modern man, and the ghost wants to live a long life in this world!
He just wants to go back to modern times and continue to be his rich second generation.
Li Cheng trembled his fingers and clicked on it to check it specifically.
[The details of the national strength improvement are as follows:]
【Expansion +180】
【Shock Enemy +2】
【Prestige +10】
【People's Heart +8】
What else could he say about that......
One expanded the territory and increased the national strength of the entire Tang Empire by 180......
Li Cheng felt a sharp pain in his heart.
He really couldn't go back.
With more than 200 years of life, when will it be defeated?
No way!
Be sure to cheer up!
There's still a chance.
With more than 200 points of national strength, he believes that he will definitely be defeated!
Next, be sure to make a plan.
We must not defeat the country without a head and a brain, as we did before.
Maybe what he thought was a defeated country would become a way to strengthen the country's strength here.
Li Cheng stood up and walked back and forth, his brows furrowed.
A plan for the defeat of the country must be worked out.
First of all, the first plan must be to expand the harem, search for folk girls from the people, and incorporate them into his harem.
This will not only form a huge economic consumption, but also make him lose the image of a faint monarch among the people and lose the hearts of the people, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
The second plan is to provoke the enemy country, and he saw earlier in the twists and turns that the east of the Tang Dynasty has come into contact with a new country, and he can start from here.
Provoke the enemy country, let the enemy country send troops to attack, and when the time comes, he forcibly stops those troops who want to support, and let the enemy country enter, so that the loss of national strength is relatively large.
For the time being, we will take these two as a general policy and carry out the defeat of the country.
Without further ado, it can be announced now.
Li Cheng walked out of the hall, glanced at the clear sky outside, turned his head to look at a handsome little eunuch, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and asked, "What about Gonggong Xu?" ”
The little eunuch hurriedly bowed down and said, "Father-in-law Xu said...... Go find the duck and practice the duck call. ”
"Isn't he quite proficient? What else to practice? ”
Li Cheng was full of black lines in his head, waved his hand and said: "Let him get back quickly, in addition, spread my will, let all the ministers come to the Taiji Palace, and I have something to announce." ”
Things like expanding the harem can be done now.
However, if you provoke the enemy country, you must find an opportunity.
"Obey Your Majesty's Decree!"
The little eunuch responded in fear.
It was the first time he had served the emperor, so he was naturally afraid.
Especially the invisible coercion on the emperor's body, which made him feel breathless, after all, he was not the personal eunuch who accompanied His Majesty for a long time like Gonggong Xu.
Li Cheng nodded slightly and walked towards the Taiji Hall.
Generally, the early dynasties were in the Hantian Palace, like the emperor calling the ministers, all of them were carried out in the Taiji Palace.
……
Inside the Tai Chi Temple.
Under the emperor's summons, soon, the ministers hurried to the Taiji Palace.
They were all curious about what His Majesty wanted to do.
It's only been a short time since the victory of the Eastern Crusade, so it's impossible for something to happen again, right?
The ministers met with the emperor in the Taiji Palace.
"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"
The ministers immediately knelt down and saluted.
Li Cheng sat and waved his hands lightly, making them all exempt, I don't know if it was his delusion.
I always felt that the eyes of the ministers looking at him were a little strange......
Like admiration?
What do you admire about him? I invited you to a meal yesterday, so you admired me?
"Zhongqing's family, I came today to announce one thing, I am going to conduct a draft, select some qualified women, and fill the harem, what do you think?"
As soon as Li Cheng finished speaking, he stared directly at the ministers.
He felt that his ministers would inevitably oppose him.
He was also ready to refute, just waiting for the ministers to refute him.
Who expected that the next moment would be beyond his imagination.
Instead of refutating, the ministers knelt down in unison, shouting loudly.
"Do your Majesty's will!"
Li Cheng was stunned at this time, this group of people actually didn't refute his approach?
He was stunned for a moment, and then added, "I plan to let each city select fifty women to enter the palace for the draft?" Do you have any objections? ”
"No objection to the ministers!"
The ministers shouted again.
Li Cheng was completely depressed, this group of courtiers, could it be that they really didn't want to stop him?
Wrong.
These courtiers are all the remaining 'traitorous ministers', and they are probably thinking about whether they can embezzle from this draft, where will they refuse.
Thinking about it like this, he figured it out and was greatly relieved.
What Li Cheng didn't know was that the reason why the ministers didn't stop it.
It originated from his late night review last night.
The emperor stayed awake late at night, reviewing and revising.
This incident spread out, and now everyone in Chao'an City knows about it.
This also made the ministers feel deeply guilty.
The emperor is reviewing the recitals, but we are sleeping.
Now that the emperor wants to open a harem, what heart do they have to stop it?
Moreover, since Li Cheng ascended the throne, the harem has been without a queen, and the ministers are eager for Li Cheng to expand the harem.
"Naturally, there is no objection, then let's all go down, and you can choose today, and this matter will be handled by the prime minister."
Li Cheng casually handed over the matter to his 'good comrades-in-arms of the Tang Dynasty', hoping to be more corrupt, and then ordered the ministers to leave.
"Wait for the resignation!"
The ministers saluted and retired, but their eyes flashed with different colors.
……
The ministers left from the Taiji Palace.
No one spoke.
Instead, he walked towards the Prime Minister's Mansion with a tacit understanding.
Seeing this, Zhuge Wuming showed a mysterious smile, didn't say anything, and accompanied the ministers back to his mansion.
Hundreds of people poured into the lobby of the Prime Minister's Palace.
The lobby was packed in an instant.
These ministers didn't say anything, and tacitly waited for Zhuge Wuming to speak first.
Zhuge Wuming shook his head and smiled, and said, "You are all here for the fifty draft places in Chao'an City?" ”
How could he not see the thoughts of the ministers, they all wanted to bring their relatives and the like into the palace draft.
Now that there is no owner of the harem, maybe the relatives of the ministers will become the masters of the harem?
Maybe His Majesty already knew what the ministers were thinking, so he would hand over this kind of thing to him.
Otherwise, this kind of thing is generally handed over to the Ministry of Rites.
Your Majesty, you really have a good eye......
