Chapter 321: Alliance View
"Out-of-range?" Lu Chen asked in a condensed voice.
"Yes, the king."
Wu Qi returned, he first paused, and then suddenly changed his words and asked, "Dare to ask the king's ambition." β
When Lu Chen heard this, he couldn't help but stand up, the jade beads on the crown trembled, and he said in a shocking voice: "For hundreds of years, the countries have fought for hegemony, but the mountains and rivers have been shattered, millions of corpses have been ambushed, and it is the great desire of this king to dominate the world!" Why did Keqing ask this! β
"Good!" Wu Qi's spirit was shocked, and he immediately said: "Since the king wants to dominate the world, he must implement the strategy of long-distance friendship and close attack, otherwise, it will be difficult to complete the great cause!" β
After speaking, he followed up and said: "If the king does not help Jingguo, but continues to use the previous national policy, unites Yan, Chu and other countries, and jointly attacks the land, although this can expand the territory, but at the same time, it also increases the power of neighboring countries, and over time, Yan and Chu will be strong, and they will unite Qing, Jing and other countries, and conspire to destroy the wind, so that the wind country will be beaten back to its original shape!" β
"Therefore, the king's strategy to dominate the Central Plains is to ally with Qing and Jing, and attack Yan and Chu, as for Lianguo, it is located in the center and is the land of the four wars, and keeping it is just enough for the king to attack the world as a buffer!"
"You mean, our country should attack Yan first?" Lu Chen asked.
"That's right!" Wu Qi said: "If the five kingdoms are destroyed, then after the Yan country divides the land, it will be stronger, and at that time, it will be difficult for the king to destroy Yan again, and it is equivalent to raising a tiger by his side." β
"Yes, that makes sense." Lu Chen nodded slowly, and then began to pace back and forth in front of the king's case, and the ministers of the Wind Country in the main hall began to discuss in a low voice again.
After Wu Qi finished speaking, he also returned to the train, but his words not only made Lu Chen start to think deeply, but even Xiao Wang, Sima Wen and other ministers couldn't help but look at this new guest with admiration.
After a while, Lu Chen stopped, glanced at the ministers, and said, "Do you think that the strategy of long-distance friendship and close attack that Keqing said is feasible?" β
In fact, he has already made a decision in his heart, but this is a national policy, which is not unimportant, as the king of a country, he still patiently wants to listen to the opinions of other ministers, and finally make a decision.
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Lu Chen looked at Liu Yuan in the train on the right and shouted, "Liu Yuan!" Lord Yanagi! β
"Huh?" When Liu Yuan heard this, he hurriedly stepped out of the ranks, bowed his hand slightly, and replied: "The minister thinks that right now, the four kingdoms have a gap, and the matter of the five kings is no longer possible. β
"Lord Xue!" Lu Chen shouted again.
"Huh? The minister is here. Xue Huairen also hurried out of the queue, and said with a slight worry: "It's good to have a long-distance and close-range attack strategy, but Weichen is worried that Yan Country is not easy to attack......."
"It's hard to attack now, so if you make it stronger again, wouldn't it be even harder to attack!" Lu Chen said in a positive voice.
Then, he shouted: "Su Muzhi! β
Su Muzhi came out and said: "Back to the king, the minister thinks that he can just take this opportunity to ask for Hengyang for Jingguo, and King Yan will definitely not give it, if he doesn't give it, Jingguo will be resentful of it, and my country can also take advantage of the situation to unite Jingguo and attack Yan together!" β
"And the king thinks so much about Jingguo, and even does not hesitate to use troops against Yan for Jingguo, King Jing will definitely be grateful to the king when he sees this! Be grateful! This, too, happened to respond to what Keqing said about long-distance and close attack, making Jingguo an unshakable iron alliance of our country! β
"Good!" Hearing this, Lu Chen no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered: "This king's intention is to immediately send an envoy to Yan to tell Yan about the matter of Hengyang......
The envoy sent by the Wind Country this time is not a big or small official position, and he is not a particularly eloquent person, and his purpose is not to return Jingguo Hengyang, but to go through the motions.
Subsequently, Lu Chen put forward what Wu Qi admonished, the four major drawbacks of the current wind country.
He said: "For a long time, our Fengguo has been laughed at as a barbarian state by the countries of the Central Plains, and now although the military is strong, it has not yet reached the level of a great power, and the reason for this lies in the people!" There are few literate people, few people who know etiquette, although the king built a school, but the people everywhere, there is no studious style, the main reason is that the people can not afford such a heavy tuition, therefore, the king will, when the tuition fee is waived, vigorously promote education, so that the people of the whole country are literate and know etiquette! β
"In addition, a great country alone has a strong military that will never last long, and when the morality of the people is inculcated, the content of education should be reformed, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, faith, gentleness, courtesy, frugality, and the five permanent ways are indispensable."
"Third, many of the middle-level generals of our Feng Army are illiterate, although they serve by virtue of their military exploits, but there are few who can take charge of themselves, as the so-called strong generals have no weak soldiers, therefore, this king intends to establish a military academy!"
"Fourth, many local officials turn a blind eye to the speculation of some businessmen for the sake of so-called political achievements and official careers, and even worse, officials protect each other, and choose to turn a deaf ear to the crimes committed by the powerful for the sake of so-called face and not to offend their colleagues. There are even some places where thieves are rampant and public order is chaotic, but in the performance to the imperial court, in order to show their political achievements, the local officials lie that the people live and work in peace and contentment! With such a rule, sooner or later, my Fengguo will enter a state of decay! Therefore, this king's intention is to take advantage of Li Gongfu's inspection of the traces of various places to thoroughly political officials! With the wind of the officialdom of the country! β
Lu Chen finished speaking in one breath, and then glanced at the ministers in the main hall, and said: "These four points are all admonished by Keqing, and they are also the current situation of my Fengguo!" β
As he spoke, he pointed to the official book and shouted: "Especially the ministry, can there be any such thing as accepting financial gifts from officials!?" β
Yes!? Hearing this, the official Shangshu hurriedly came out of the ranks, and suddenly knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Wronged, king! Weichen, Weichen has never slackened in the slightest since he took office, how dare he accept money from officials privately......"
"This king is just reminding you that you can't be greedy for some money, do you understand?" Lu Chen said lukewarmly.
"Wechen understands, Wechen understands......" The official Shangshu said again and again, kneeling under him as he spoke, and couldn't help wiping the cold sweat on his forehead.
"The officialdom of the Wind Country is becoming more and more corrupt, and the officials should introspect themselves in this matter!" Lu Chen said again.
"Yes! It's ......"
"That's it! That's all for today's court discussion, retreat from the court! β
"The ministers have retiredβ"
Lu Chen waved his hand and dispersed the court, the current Fengguo has just reduced the county army, saving a large amount of military expenses, which can just be used for education.
