Chapter 248: The Bohai Debate
"Your Majesty, the Bohai Sea Division is strong in combat, if they are given the land of three states, if there is a war maniac in their country, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to me Feihong!" My face changed.
"Su Yipin, your heart is still towards Feihong! I ask you, if one day, I order you to lead the troops to return the Bohai Kingdom to Feihong, would you be willing? "Emperor Yongning's words made my face change greatly.
If I agree, I will be sorry for my cousin Ji Ling and my fiancΓ©e Queen Bohai; If I don't agree, I won't be able to take off the Hong Empire.
"Your Majesty, I can't let down the country, but I can't let down my relatives either! If Your Majesty has to force me like this, Su Yipin will beg for death! My words rang out.
"Su Yipin, I came to ask you, Bohai was originally my Feihong territory, what's wrong with taking it back?" Emperor Yongning glared at me angrily.
"Your Majesty, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" I was nervous.
"You tell a lie first, I heard that your poems about Sichuan tobacco can make Shu Mingyu vomit blood so angry, I want to hear your lies!" Emperor Yongning was childlike for a while.
"If you lie that Your Majesty, you are too crazy, the Bohai Sea Master has rescued you twice in a row, and you want to destroy the Bohai Kingdom, that is forgetful! And this is the main ship of Feiling County in the Bohai Sea, aren't you afraid that someone on the ship will set up a trap to eavesdrop? If you don't get it, you'll be ambushed! I said.
"Bold Su Yipin!" The old emperor was angry and afraid, this is a lie, this is clearly the truth.
"Your Majesty, it's you who want to listen to lies first!" I am aggrieved.
"What about the truth? Yipin Houye, tell me about it! Chen Zhong hurriedly relieved the siege.
"The truth is that the boundary of the Bohai Kingdom is the border between my Feihong Empire and the Xuanming Empire and the Aoki Empire, if I Feihong or the army of the Shengwang era, I am naturally not afraid to put the knife into the throat of the two empires, and now the army is only afraid that it will not be able to keep up!" I say.
"Su Yipin!" The old emperor was even more angry, and King Sheng became his taboo again, but the old emperor also admitted in his heart that the current combat power of the Feihong army was indeed not as strong as the era of King Sheng.
"Your Majesty, do you still want to hear it? Why don't you pull your subordinates out and get caught in the rain and hit the board. "I'm retreating, the old emperor has been aroused by my curiosity, and I'm afraid that he won't be willing to beat me if he doesn't finish asking.
"Keep talking! Say it all in one go! The old emperor grimaced.
"The small country of the Bohai Sea is in the middle buffer, we Feihong can accept it, and the Aoki Empire and the Xuanming Empire can also accept it! If we capture the Bohai Kingdom, the Xuanming Empire and the Aoki Empire are likely to join forces to stop us! There is a war on land, the two countries are attacking, we do not have the advantage, this is one of them! β
"Attacking the Bohai Sea, the Bohai Sea Master will naturally defect into the Aoki Empire, and with them as the vanguard to harass my Feihong border, the King of Qi is not reliable now, right? What's more, his East China Sea Division can't defeat the Bohai Sea Division, and the northeast border of Feihong will never be peaceful, and this is the second one! β
"Your Majesty has destroyed the subject countries that are single-mindedly loyal, and those other small marginal countries are also afraid that Feihong will repeat their old tricks against them, in order to protect themselves, they will turn to the White Tiger Empire, the Xuanming Empire, the Fire Phoenix Empire, and the Aoki Empire for refuge, right?"
"In this way, my Feihong offended the nations, and it is likely to repeat the old story of the siege of the four countries, and it took His Majesty more than ten years to pacify the four countries and restore Feihong, right? You don't want to spend another dozen years rebuilding Feihong, do you? β
My words hit the emperor's heart like a steel needle.
"In your opinion, how should the Bohai Kingdom be settled?" Emperor Yongning asked.
"Your Majesty, Weichen is stupid! In my humble opinion, I should repair the Bohai Kingdom from generation to generation, intermarry with them, trade and mail, Bohai and I Feihong have the same root and origin, and you don't need force, Your Majesty can also dominate the powerful Bohai Sea Division! β
"Since Your Majesty can be crowned the Prince of Zhenguo with the same surname, why can't you tolerate a hereditary prince with a different surname? There is a way in the Bohai Sea, so you should advance and retreat with me Feihong! There is no way in the Bohai Sea, Your Majesty will send troops to settle down again! I said.
"As you said, isn't it true that the Bohai Homeland will be completely carved out of Feihong in my time? What kind of face do I have to meet Emperor Taizu and my ancestors? "Emperor Yongning is obviously unwilling.
"Your Majesty, Rong Chen is rebellious, there will be a wise king under the king, and there will be a virtuous minister under the sage! Doesn't Your Majesty want a few more emperors like Emperor Taizu to come out of the future generations of emperors? I said loudly.
"Su Yipin, are you secretly sarcastic, not Mingjun? Thy rebellious words are not enough to forgive sins. Emperor Yongning glared at me.
"Your Majesty, you can also pacify the four countries to protect Feihong under the invasion of the four countries, and make the Feihong Empire the richest empire among the five empires in just a dozen years, and you must be an extremely glorious page recorded in the annals of history! Mingjun, you really deserve it! I said.
My words made the old emperor quite happy, what he was most afraid of was that even after overturning the case for King Sheng, there would still be so many loyal people who wanted to kill him to avenge him, and he was very afraid that later historians would leave him with a mediocre evaluation of the country, which was really blind.
"Yipin Marquis, Your Majesty is a Ming Jun and cannot take back the Bohai Kingdom, what do you mean by the so-called Ming Jun of the later generations?" Ling Cheng Cheng took the opportunity to dig a pit.
"Your Majesty, can your subordinates boldly ask you a word that defies the world's condemnation?" I don't look at Ling Chenggong, but I stare at the old emperor.
"Do you ask less?" The old emperor gave me an old white eye, this old man is so old, he looks quite handsome, he must have been a handsome guy when he was young, or an emperor, such a diamond king Lao Wu is no wonder that the successful old mother can't help but cheat.
"There is a carpenter master skill, the wooden bird made can fly in the sky for three days and three nights, but no one can do it, the carpenter is a god, what do you think?" I asked.
"It's a pity, no matter how superb the skills are, no one inherits them, then it will naturally be lost, and future generations will only regret it!" The old emperor was thoughtful.
"If there is one of his descendants who can inherit his mantle, or even a strong man who is out of the blue, can make the wooden bird fly in the sky for seven days and seven nights, what do you think the carpenter ancestor will have a spirit in the sky?" I asked.
"That's a great relief!" The old emperor said.
"Your Majesty, what do you think the future generations of carpenters will say about the ancestor and his outstanding disciples when they pay tribute to their ancestors? Will you forget your ancestor because of your outstanding disciples? I asked.
"Su Yipin, don't beat around the bush, tell me your opinion!" The old emperor smiled, obviously understanding the key.
"Later generations will not only not forget the carpenter patriarch, but will praise him, if there is no excellent craftsmanship and excellent vision, how can we train better disciples? His Majesty is a Ming Jun and has excellent genes, so why is it difficult for the emperors of later generations to produce a few Ming Jun to add icing on the cake to Feihong? β
I ended the defense with a bang.
