Lord Wang said: "Lord Liu, is it possible that you want to wait for the Tartar slaves to perish on their own because they do not understand how to govern the country?" ”

Lord Li smiled and said, "Lord Wang, a man who is about to die, why do you bother to do it? ”

Lord Wang said, "Lord Li, how can you conclude that the Tarslaves are the ones who are about to die? ”

Master Li smiled again, and then arched his hand to Liu Yong and said, "Your Majesty, these words of the minister are not untrue. The ministers are well-founded. ”

"Oh?" Liu Yong raised his eyebrows and said, "Tell me about it." ”

Master Li arched his hand and said, "It's Your Majesty." Your Majesty, the minister has a cousin in the northern heavenly capital. That's where the Emperor of Tatar stayed. And he also knew some people from the Tatar court. I can hear some news too. Just a few days ago, he fled to our Huahan. And found Wechen. ”

Wechen asked his cousin about the situation on the Tatar side. But he was overjoyed. It won't be long before he loses himself as a Tartar. The minister asked him what was going on. He told his ministers that the court on the Tarslave side had no money. I can't even pay for the war. They can only increase the taxes on the peasants, and of course the small traders and hawkers. ”

"That cousin of the minister is doing business in Tiandu, so he can't do it anymore. If a businessman has no business to do, it is tantamount to losing his job. There was no way, so Chen's cousin had to risk his life with his family to smuggle in. Otherwise, you won't be able to survive at all. Moreover, the grain taxes paid by those peasants were not enough, let alone eating them themselves. Gu Chen's cousin said, the whole people are full of complaints! Your Majesty, from this point of view, the economy of the Great Yang Dynasty is almost close to collapse. ”

After speaking, Lord Liu looked at Lord Wang, and then said, "Lord Wang, may I ask Lord Wang, what is the difference between such a court and a dying person?" ”

Lord Wang didn't speak, but after a moment of silence, he said, "Lord Liu, what you said is good. But since the Tartar slave has fallen into such a defeat, why don't we take the opportunity to kill him? Don't miss it! ”

Master Li smiled and said, "That's what I'm talking about about the warlike Tatar slaves. ”

"Oh. Then I'll have to ask Master Li. Lord Wang said.

"Your Majesty." Lord Li looked at Liu Yong again and said, "As Lord Wang said, this is indeed a good time to attack the Tarslaves. But there is a question that Weichen wants to ask Lord Wang. ”

Liu Yong said lightly: "You ask." ”

"Your Majesty." Master Li arched his hand again. He turned back to Lord Wang and said, "Lord Wang, let me ask you, do you know the phrase that the trapped beast is still fighting?" ”

Lord Wang said: "This Wang naturally knows. ”

Master Li continued to ask, "Then Lord Wang has never heard such a story. ”

Lord Wang said, "Please speak." ”

Master Li nodded and said, "Once upon a time, there was a destitute family with three brothers and an old mother. Don't look at the poverty of this family, but the three brothers know martial arts. And they have a five-room building. Although it is broken, the location in the field is good, suitable for opening a tavern. ”

So a landlord surnamed Zhang set his sights on their family. Thinking of taking advantage of the poverty of this family, I took this house at a very small price. But this family's love for your brother is not sold at all. The landlord surnamed Zhang began to be a trick, and the village security and others who bought it wanted to forcibly occupy the house. ”

And Mura Bao was afraid that he would not be able to do it properly, because he knew that the three brothers had martial arts. In the village, they also like to fight. It's not easy to mess with. But the landlord surnamed Zhang promised him a very heavy honorarium. So he went to the county and bought off the priest. Abshihe conspired with the landlord surnamed Zhang with you to blame the three brothers. ”

However, the plan to blame the blame did not succeed, and in the end, it could only be robbed. This completely angered the three brothers. Kill the landlord surnamed Zhang, and the village guard. Not only killed but also robbed the property of these three people. Since then, they have been rampant in the township, and even the county government has no way to take them. ”

"These three brothers are usually forbearing, but this incident has stimulated their bestial nature. They even arrested the magistrate and humiliated him at home. When they learned that the county did not dare to report it, they did not dare to send troops to take them. The three brothers were above the county government. ”

At this point in the story, Master Li looked at Lord Wang and said, "It is a bit inappropriate to use the three brothers as a metaphor for the Tarslaves, but what Li means is that if you stimulate the warlike nature of the Tartars, then they will be as fierce as a lion who has woken up." The best thing to do is to let the lion sleep slowly. ”

Lord Liu arched his hand and said to Liu Yong: "Your Majesty, the minister's words are finished. ”

Liu Yong smiled and said, "Lord Li, you are really a true dragon emperor, and you are not afraid of lions, whether it is sleeping or awake. ”

Lord Liu hurriedly said: "Yes, Your Majesty is a real dragon, so naturally it is not a lion." ”

Liu Yong nodded and said, "Okay, you can step down." ”

"Your Majesty." Master Li bowed his hand and retreated into the minister's ranks.

Liu Yong said again: "Lord Wang, tell me your opinion again. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Lord Wang arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if the Tatar slave is a sleeping lion, then why don't we take the opportunity to give it a knife, so that it will never wake up." ”

Liu Yong nodded and said, "But what Master Li means is that this lion is half asleep. It's always ready to fight back. ”

Lord Wang said: "Your Majesty, as Your Majesty said, we Huahan are a giant dragon, and we are not afraid of the lion whether it is awake or asleep. ”

Liu Yong listened and said, "Okay, you can go back too." ”

"Your Majesty." Lord Wang arched his hand and said, and then retreated.

Liu Yong looked at Chen An and said, "Prime Minister, what do you think about this issue?" ”

Chen An didn't come out because he was standing at the front on the right. He arched his hand and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is better to start a war with the Tarnus as soon as possible." ”

Liu Yong asked, "Tell me what you think." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen An said, "The minister thinks that what Lord Wang and Lord Li said makes sense. Especially Lord Li, his unscrupulous soldier is also desirable, but he thinks that this will be more risky. The risk that the minister said is that once the lion did not sleep and died, but recuperated his spirit, wouldn't it be more difficult to deal with? Therefore, the minister also suggested killing the lion while he was sleeping in a daze. to prevent future troubles. ”

After listening to Chen An's words, Liu Yong nodded, Chen An's knowledge is really higher.
