After a short time, Jia Fu and Liu Sheng got off the carriage, and Yihun stepped forward: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is waiting in the study."

The two hurriedly walked to the study, Chai Yu was reading in the study, and when he saw the excitement, he couldn't help but cheer in a low voice. Hearing the sound of footsteps, Chai Yu raised his head: "Liu Sheng, Jia Fu, come over quickly."

"Your Highness? But what's the matter?" Liu Sheng looked at him suspiciously, and Jia Fu shook his head.

Chai Yu handed the book in his hand to Liu Sheng and Jia Fu: On the feasibility of westward expansion.

"Brother Sheng, isn't this what you wrote when you were bored?" Jia Fu looked at Liu Sheng suspiciously, could there be any problem with these.

Chai Yu seemed to be very interested in this: "Liu Sheng, are all the things in this here written by you?" Lone once thought that it was not advisable to compete with the Liao State in the north. The land in the south is barren and remote. The expedition of laborers is unprofitable. Looking around, there is a sense of confusion".

"I thought I was the head of the court, and I was a foot soldier and a sailor. The boundless sea of the East is where the sailors come in. The western part of the country is full of mountains, hills, and highlands, which is where the foot soldiers gallop. Most of the Liao countries in the north are cavalry, and even if they learn about the dynamics of our dynasty, they can only look at it and sigh." Ever since he bought a house and moved to congratulate him, and when Chai Yu sent a slave to Tibet, he had a vague idea of this. often talked with the guards in the house, and gradually matured his thoughts.

Chai Yu thought about it, walked to the west, and the sailor entered the sea: "Where is the west to Tubo."

"Longyou, the hometown of the Han and Tang Dynasties, can get horses". After continuous deduction, Liu Sheng finally thought of these two words.

Chai Yu looked at Liu Sheng and kept thinking: "Longyou is the protector of the mansion, and now Longyou's hometown, Tubo, Uighur, and party items, the relationship between the three ethnic groups is complicated, but I am afraid that it will not be easy."

"When the time comes, you can split it up. The party members have always submitted to our dynasty. The Uighurs and the Tibetans had many grudges between the two countries. If we make a great westward expansion, I will make good friends with the Uighurs and join hands with them to conquer Tibet. It may not be difficult to restore the former Longyou Protectorate." Liu Sheng said his thoughts, he thought about these for a long time, at this time the party members did not rebel, and it should be a good time to recover the Longyou Protectorate.

Chai Yu pondered, and the Uighurs, Tibetans, and Dangxiang analyzed the relationship between these three in their hearts: "Surrender the Uighurs, and order the Dangxiang people to send troops together with our dynasty, so that Longyou can indeed be obtained." But the Liao people are eyeing each other in the north, and I dare to move in Chao'an."

"Let the Liao know that the West has a wider sky and endless treasures, and encourage them to launch a larger-scale westward expedition." Liu Sheng looked at Chai Yu and said in a very sure tone, only in this way can the westward expansion plan be implemented with peace of mind.

Chai Yu shook his head again and looked at Liu Sheng: "The Liao Kingdom is going west, and we are expanding west." Will the two tigers fight each other and lose both?"

"Liao is a nomadic people, the people are fierce, and they are good at riding and shooting. Most of their westward expeditions were grasslands and plains, and there was not much conflict with our dynasty." Liu Sheng slowly explained that in his reflection, the Liao State seemed to have been marching west in a very northern place.

Jia Fu seemed to feel something, and looked at Liu Sheng: "Brother Sheng, what do you mean is to reach a consensus with the Liao State and expand westward together." Liao is in the north, we are in the south, and we do not conflict with each other."

"At the time of the westward expansion, our dynasty could let the army take turns to go to the battlefield every year to see blood. In this way, you can train more elite soldiers in the iron blood." Liu Sheng looked at Chai Yu and thought about it.

Chai Yu nodded, shook his head again, and suddenly smiled bitterly: "The treasury is poor, I'm afraid I can't support it, and the army will expand westward."

"Then let the country get rich first, and implement the westward expansion plan." Jia Fu didn't care, making money should be as easy as Guofu.

Liu Sheng looked at Jia Fu with a smile and saw that he didn't care: "If you want to be rich, it's not that simple."

"The treasury was full, and the westward expansion began. Lone is looking forward to that day. Let our flag be planted in the far west". Chai Yu is still thinking about the westward expansion plan, but how difficult it is for the country to be rich.

Jia Fu looked at Chai Yu, as if he noticed that someone was missing: "Your Highness, where is Yang Yong?"

"Yang Yong should be on his way back to Xiazhou now, and now he can finally move towards his dream." Chai Yu thought of Yang Yong and sighed.

When Liu Sheng heard Xia Zhou, he had a bad feeling, and he became thick again, and looked at Jia Fu: "At noon, we asked the people in the house to send a letter to Yang Yong, but we were afraid that it would be empty."

"What kind of letter is it?". Chai Yu asked puzzled.

Jia Fu looked at Chai Yu's puzzled appearance and explained: "Let Yang Yong remind them at home, beware of the Xingqing Li family."

"Xingqing Lee? Are they going to do something". Chai Yu looked at Liu Sheng and Jia Fu suspiciously, and then shook his head.

Liu Sheng saw Chai Yu shaking his head, knowing that he was nosy again: "Your Highness said it was impossible."

"They don't dare and don't have the strength, although they have the power to appeal. But it has not yet reached the point where party members can spare their lives." Chai Yu shook his head, looked at Liu Sheng puzzled, and explained.

Jia Fu looked at Chai Yu and thought for a moment. felt that what he said made sense, and then changed the topic: "Your Highness is looking for us, not to discuss Xituo."

"Look at Lone's memory, I just read Liu Sheng's plan to expand to the west. For a while, I forgot the purpose of this trip. Today, the prime minister made a move, and hundreds of officials knelt down to invite. The official department resigned, the household department was imprisoned, and King Yong left Beijing. Why is all this? Lone and Prime Minister don't have much of a deep relationship." Chai Yu looked at Liu Sheng and Jia Fu suspiciously.

Liu Sheng looked at Chai Yu with a smile and explained: "What His Royal Highness and King Yong have done during this time, all the officials have seen it. They will naturally weigh it in their hearts, and it will be clear which is better and which is better

"It seems that he is alone in the minds of hundreds of officials, and he is stronger than the second brother. This world is really unpredictable, I thought that some time ago, the East Palace should be taken by the second brother. I didn't expect such a scene to occur today." Chai Yu recalled this period of time and what happened, and was full of emotion.

Jia Fu looked at Chai Yu, who was sighing, and asked puzzledly: "Isn't the current result the best?"

"It's the best, it's a pity that the second brother was born in the emperor's family." Chai Yu looked at Jia Fu who was puzzled and explained.

Liu Sheng looked at Chai Yu and smiled slightly: "At least the current result is a great blessing for the people and the country."

"How can you bear to be lonely and let the world down". Chai Yu looked at Liu Sheng and Jia Fu with firm eyes.

Liu Sheng looked at Chai Yu thoughtfully: "In fact, there are other things besides force, and you can also conquer the enemy."

"Except for force?". Chai Yu was puzzled, looking at Liu Sheng looking forward to his answer.

Liu Sheng thought for a moment and organized words in his heart: "For example, culture and businessmen."

"Culture and business?". Since ancient times, only iron and blood can make the enemy worship, culture? Merchants? Where is it so powerful? Without seeing blood, it is impossible to surrender.

Liu Sheng looked at Chai Yu with a look of disbelief, and continued to explain: "If all foreign races follow the way of Confucius and Mencius. They all use the currency of our dynasty to buy things, and they are proud to be the people of our dynasty. Isn't that a scene more terrifying than Iron Will?"

"There seems to be some truth in the field of culture and business." Chai Yu nodded, vaguely feeling that if he did this, maybe there would really be the scene that Liu Sheng said.

At this time, a guard ran in, and when he saw Chai Yu, he hurriedly reported: "Your Highness has a decree from the palace, it is related to the flood in the south of the Yangtze River, let you enter the palace and discuss with the ministers."

"The flooding in the south of the Yangtze River is the top priority of the imperial court, and I dare not slack off. I'll leave it at that, and I'll talk about it next time." After hearing this, Chai Yu hurriedly said goodbye and walked out directly.

Liu Sheng and Jia Fu saw that the matter was important and did not force them to stay, and sent Chai Yu all the way outside the mansion. Seeing his carriage go away, he slowly re-entered the mansion.
