Cheng Yongji has always been known for his sleekness.

Zhang Lingyang was very puzzled about deliberately concealing his warat.

Because with Zheng Yongji's character, he would not have done such a 'stupid' thing at all.

But Zheng Yongji did it.

Zheng Yongji not only did it, but also pulled a large group of courtiers to do it together, which made Zhang Lingyang puzzled.

Zhang Lingyang laughed miserably, looked at Zhang Lingyang and said: "Your Majesty, you know that people live in the world for nothing more than the words 'fame and fortune', and the criminals naturally can't avoid it."

However, what the criminal pursues is profit before death and fame after death!

It is said that with the trust of His Majesty, the former criminal ministers can be the best in official residences, and steal the position of the first assistant of the cabinet. And the minister's family has always been wealthy, and they don't worry about money, so there is no way to talk about profits during their lifetime.

Therefore, what the criminal minister is pursuing now is the name behind him.

The criminal minister hoped that after hundreds of years, the future generations would be able to juxtapose the name 'Zheng Yongji' with the famous generals of the past dynasties, so the criminal minister hid the matter of Warat from His Majesty.

Because the guilty minister knows that His Majesty has no intention of expanding the territory.

With His Majesty's attitude, I am afraid that if I know the first time I know about Warat, I will send troops to support Warat. ”

Seeing Zheng Yongji say this, Zhang Lingyang began to be silent.

After a long time, Zhang Lingyang spoke again: "Is there anything wrong with Warat and Da Zhou living in peace?" In my opinion, now that Wara is a vassal to the Great Zhou and pays tribute every year, how many people in the past dynasties can do this?

Now, I have done it, Da Zhou has done it, isn't that enough to make you famous in history? ”

"Can't!" Seeming to be no longer afraid of Zhang Lingyang's identity as the Son of Heaven, Zheng Yongji shook his head and said: "Whether it is the current Wara, or the previous Turks and Xiongnu, from beginning to end, they are the biggest threat to the Han people.

Now Warat is weak, so he has to surrender to the Great Zhou.

But one day Warat becomes stronger, or the Great Zhou is in chaos, how will Warat treat the Great Zhou? I wonder if Your Majesty has ever thought about it? ”

Looking directly at Zhang Lingyang's gaze, Zheng Yongji's tone was a little pleading: "Your Majesty, Warat has always been the biggest threat to my Great Zhou, if it is not cut off as soon as possible, sooner or later it will be the clarion call to charge the Great Zhou again."

Now the invasion of the Rus in the Far West into Warat is just the right time to defeat both Warat and the Rus.

At that time, my Da Zhou will come forward to clean up the mess again, and the five thousand miles of grassland in the north will be in my Da Zhou's pocket.

Now that he has been able to expand his territory without much effort, the criminal minister really can't understand why His Majesty didn't agree to do it, but instead helped Warat to defend against the Rus. ”

"So, you already know about me sending troops to support Warat?" glanced at Zheng Yongji lightly, Zhang Lingyang's tone was unwavering.

Zheng Yongji nodded and said, "How could the criminal minister not know about such a big thing?"

However, although the criminal minister expected that His Majesty would not die without saving Warat, he did not expect that His Majesty would send an army so soon. ”

"You don't know?" Zhang Lingyang chuckled: "It's May, and my 6,000 men and horses have arrived at the northwest border of Warat, and it's already June.

The Rus' invasion of Warat was less than a thousand people, and even if it was difficult to collect, three months would be enough.

Once three months are over, it's September.

What is the weather in September on the grassland, is it possible that you don't know? ”

"September on the prairie?" Zheng Yongji was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty is still wise, when it comes to September, goose feathers and heavy snow will begin to fall on the grassland, if it is two months later, I am afraid that the climate on the grassland will be even worse."

At that time, not only was the material supply difficult, but I was afraid that the soldiers would not be able to adapt to the extremely bad weather on the grassland.

If the war drags on until September and there is no result, the Great Zhou soldiers will collapse without a fight.

Not to the army of the Rus, but to the bitterly cold weather over there. ”

"Looks like you've done some work anyway!" Zhang Lingyang nodded and said, "It is precisely because of this that I made the decision to send troops so quickly.

Because I know very well in my heart that if it drags on for another three or two months, even if my army rushes to the northwest of the grassland, it will already delay the best time to fight. ”

"Also, if you don't understand why I don't want to see Varat defeated at the hands of the Rus, I can explain it to you." Smiling confidently, Zhang Lingyang said: "In my opinion, whether it is the Han people in our Central Plains, or the Warat people on the grassland, the Jurchens in Liaodong, the Miao people in the southwest, and the Tubo people on the plateau, they are all the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty and my people. How can I remain indifferent to the suffering of my people? ”

"But the people of Kevarat obviously don't belong to the Great Zhou?" Seeing that Zhang Lingyang actually treated the Warat people and Jurchens as the Han people, Zheng Yongji retorted.

"Not now, doesn't mean it won't be in the future!" Zhang Lingyang smiled faintly and said, "Before, I sent Hongru from the Guozijian to Wara, could it be that you haven't guessed the plan in my heart?" ”

Zhang Lingyang gave such an obvious hint, Zheng Yongji suddenly came to his senses, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "It seems that the sinner really deserves it." As the head of the cabinet, the guilty minister has not even understood His Majesty's strategic intentions, and the guilty minister can be regarded as unjust! ”

Thinking of the global map that Zhang Lingyang showed to the important ministers of the DPRK and China the year before last, Zheng Yongji also laughed at his stupidity.

As the first assistant of the cabinet, he only knows how to stare at the one acre and three points of land in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

And Zhang Lingyang, as the Son of Heaven, has already looked at the place where the Great Zhou used to be, which has to be said that Zheng Yongji has fundamentally followed Zhang Lingyang's pace.

At least as the first assistant of the cabinet, Zheng Yongji is unqualified.

"I wonder what Your Majesty plans to do with the criminals?" As the so-called bystander Qing, as a person in the bureau, Zheng Yongji thinks that he has committed such a serious crime, and he is indeed innocent.

But faintly, Zheng Yongji has a trace of longing in his heart.

I hope that Zhang Lingyang can open the net and forgive his crimes.

After all, survival is the instinct of all living beings, and Zheng Yongji is naturally no exception!

It's just that Zheng Yongji feels that his hope of getting out of the edict alive is extremely slim.

"I didn't intend to ask for your head!" Zhang Lingyang glanced at Zheng Yongji's begging eyes, and did not tease, but said bluntly: "You can go out in a while."

But if you commit such a felony, you have to be punished.

and thou shalt be punished according to the system of guilty silver, and thou shalt be punished by paying one million taels of silver into the treasury.

In addition, after the silver is handed over, you can get out of the edict and go to southern Henan to serve as the governor of southern Henan! ”

After speaking, Zhang Lingyang got up and walked out of Jinyi Guard's prison......
