Liu Xie stayed here with Cai Yan, had dinner, and chatted with Cai Yan about Changle Weiyang, boosting morale, and adapting to going overseas, and occasionally teasing children, which was also a lot of fun.

When they were about to go to bed at night, Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying suddenly came, and Liu Xie felt that the two of them came together, and there must be something important to report. And he summoned them in the small courtyard.

Liu Xie said: "Quickly excuse yourself and sit down." ”

The three of them sat down next to a small stone bench in the courtyard, and Liu Xie said: "Kong Ming Yueying came overnight, there must be something important." ”

Zhuge Liang said: "I heard that Your Majesty is going to send troops to the Japanese Island? ”

Liu Xie said: "This is the plan. ”

After Liu Xie finished speaking, seeing that Zhuge Liang didn't answer him immediately, he asked, "Why doesn't the military want to advise?" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Your Majesty, this expedition overseas is indeed not trivial, whether it is from the right time and place or from the perspective of people, it is not suitable for the expedition. But Wechen knew that His Majesty must have a reason for His Majesty to go on the expedition, so Wechen didn't ask any more. ”

Liu Xie nodded and said, "That's right, I do have my own reasons, this time I must conquer him on the Japanese Island." But the military can rest assured that this expedition overseas will definitely not drag down the economy of our Han Dynasty. ”

"Weichen absolutely believes this," Zhuge Liang said: "By the way, Your Majesty, Weichen came to report this time, and he almost delayed this matter." ”

Liu Xie smiled and said: "I know that the military advisor is coming this time, there must be something, you can say it." ”

Zhuge Liang said: "There are envoys from the Japanese Island who came to my court to pay homage to Your Majesty with tribute. ”

"Wajin Island?" Liu Xie was quite surprised, and hurriedly asked: "Is it from the dog slave country?" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "No, it's the envoy of the Evil Horse Taiwan Kingdom." ”

"Yamataiko?" Liu Xie said, "It's interesting, why are they here?" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "I ask the Han Dynasty to send troops." ”

"Ha, there's another one who asked me to send troops, and it's getting more and more interesting! Say, "Why did it ask me to send troops?" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "The queen of the Yamatai Kingdom, Himiko, and the king of the Dog Slave Country, Himikohu, were originally from the same clan, and they should be sisters and brothers, and they originally belonged to the same country, but later they split into three countries without knowing what happened: Yamatai, Dog Slave and Wai Slave." This Himiko and Himiko have always been at odds, and each has its own territorial disputes.

"The queen of the Yamatai Kingdom, Himiko, sent an envoy to say that the Dog Slave Kingdom had invaded Yamatai on a large scale, and the Yamatai could not resist it, so she sent a messenger to ask for help, and asked my Han Dynasty to send troops to help her resist the Dog Slave Kingdom."

"I see," Liu Xie said, "it seems that I have to send troops." Kong Ming, what are your opinions? ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Weichen does not recommend sending troops, but if Your Majesty really wants to send troops, Wenchen thinks that he will send heavy troops, occupy the entire Japanese island in one go, and include his entire island in the territory of my Han Dynasty." ”

Liu Xie was silent, and Zhuge Liang said: "As far as the minister knows, the people on this Japanese island are all barbarians and backward, with no combat effectiveness, and they are effortless. Since my Han sailor has gone through all the hardships to cross the Waren Island, it is better to take them all together. ”

Liu Xie didn't answer him, and asked, "What does Yueying think?" ”

Huang Yueying said: "This widow, others don't know, can Your Majesty and the courtiers still not know?" ”

Liu Xie asked: "How do you say this?" ”

Huang Yueying said: "The so-called Japanese people are this barbarian race, 1,700 years later, they invaded the territory of our Han Dynasty, killed tens of millions of our Han people, burned, killed and looted, and did all kinds of evil!" The Jianye Massacre, 300,000 unjust souls, is too numerous to read! ”

Liu Xie said: "Of course I know, but Yueying, you obviously have a hatred mentality, anything, we have to divide it into two and treat it rationally." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

This Huang Yueying, like Liu Xie, also traveled from the later generations, so of course she knew the evil deeds done by the Japanese people in the later generations.

Liu Xie asked Zhuge Liang: "Where is the messenger of Evil Horse Terrace?" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "I have arranged to live in the post house." ”

Liu Xie said: "You are like this, when you go back, I will pass on my will and order the Yulin Army to protect the envoy of Yamatai, and there can be no mistakes." ”

Zhuge Liang asked, "Is it so important?" ”

Liu Xie smiled and said: "Of course, and it is extremely important!" You'll know then. The three of us can't come up with a result in discussing it now, tomorrow morning, let the civil and military officials discuss it together, and let the envoy of Yamatai also come to the court. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Seeing that the time was not early, Zhuge Liang and his wife also resigned.

Liu Xie asked the guards to send Kong Ming and his wife away and return to the back room. Lie down with Cai Yan. The three children were already sleeping outside.

Liu Xie said: "Regarding the issue of going to the Waren Island, there is an envoy from Yamatai, who is now staying in the post house, and Kong Ming and his family came to report this matter overnight. ”

Liu Xie then briefly talked to Cai Yan at this time, and finally said: "Tomorrow morning, you will go to the court anyway, if you have any opinions, you might as well tell me in advance." ”

Cai Yan thought for a moment and said, "Kong Ming's point of view, the concubine doesn't think so. ”

"Oh? Let's talk about it. ”

Cai Yan said: "Our Han Dynasty has not had a war for two years, in my Han Dynasty, up to the minister, down to the people, there is a kind of world peace, can be put in Nanshan, swords and guns into the warehouse of paralyzing thoughts, the concubines think, this kind of thinking is very dangerous. ”

Liu Xiezan said: "Oh my God, auntie, you can see things, I am lucky that you are right today, and I will come to you often in the future." ”

Cai Yan smiled and said: "Don't be like this, Your Majesty, you can't snub other young concubines in order to pamper me, an old man." ”

Liu Xie said: "Auntie, you are not old. ”

"Do you want to continue listening?"

"If you want it, you want it, aunt, you go on."

Cai Yan said: "As an excellent military strategist, Kong Ming only paid attention to the army, weapons, grain and grass, concurrency, etc., but he did not pay attention to the voice of the people. And the concubines have to compile Changle Weiyang, and they often go to the folk to conduct roadshows in order to improve some of these small clips, so they can get in touch with more people's voices and know what people think. ”

Liu Xieluo pondered: "Well, that's true. ”

Cai Yan also said: "People's comfortable mentality is not suitable for the current situation in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and after a long time of comfort, people will become lazy." Therefore, the concubine felt that it was time for a war to change people's minds and make the people of the Han Dynasty strong again. And ......"

"And how?"

Cai Yan said: "War seems to be the destruction of property, casualties, and the decline of the country, which is for a weak country, but for my strong man, it is the opposite. His Majesty has been on the throne for 12 years, of which it has taken three years for the princes to do so, and the economic growth rate of these three years is the sum of the other nine years. So, all things considered, it's time for a war! ”
