Chapter 9 Statecraft

Lan'er's thoughts, Xu Bao's shyness, made Lan'er's heart misunderstood, and soon the two came to the Weiguo Palace.

Xu Bao looked at this magnificent palace, but he didn't expect the small princes to defend the country and build their palaces so well.

Lan'er walked into the palace in front, and Xu Bao looked around in the back, feeling everything novel. Lan'er turned her head and glanced at it, and said with a smile in her heart: "Childe, it's too strange, it's the first time you enter the palace, and there is no one like you, looking around as if you are walking in a garden." ”

Walking into the palace hall and seeing hundreds of civil and military officials standing on both sides, Xu Bao walked into the hall with a casual heroic posture.

Lan'er came to the hall and exercised etiquette to the monarch on the middle seat, but Xu Bao didn't understand these monarchs who had been standing behind Lan'er and looking at the throne.

Seeing the three-dimensional facial features of the man on the throne with clear and deep contours, the whole person emitted a kind of kingly aura, thinking that this is the monarch of the country, the monarch of the country.

The people on both sides saw that Xu Bao behind Lan'er did not exercise the great gift, and a military general frowned angrily and said: "Bold, what crime do you dare to do when you see that my monarch does not exercise the great gift?" ”

Xu Bao heard that someone actually said that he was displeased, frowned slightly, glanced at it squintly, and said loudly, "Your monarch didn't speak, what kind of green onion are you!" ”

The military general heard Xu Bao's sneering and glared at Xu Bao angrily, "Bold! You, a small people, should exercise great gifts when they see my monarch. ”

Xu Bao said impatiently: "Whose crotch is torn and exposes you." ”

The general listened to Xu Bao's words, and his mind didn't understand what it meant for a while? kept glaring at Xu Bao.

At this moment, the man on the throne spoke to the monarch: "Lan'er, I don't know who this is?" ”

"Sovereign, he is a friend I know, he is very talented and has the ability to govern the country, so I invited him to serve us in the defense of the country."

"Oh! Lan'er, you trust him very much! ”

"Sovereign, Lan'er firmly believes that Gongzi Xu can definitely make us strong in defending the country."

At this time, the general replied: "Monarch, this son is too blind to have no monarch and cannot be reused. ”

When Xu Bao heard this, he sneered and said, "Oh bad old man, when I have no monarch, you can tell me." ”

"You came to the top of the main hall and didn't give the monarch a great gift? It's not like there's no monarch. ”

At this time, Xu Bao walked up to the general in high spirits, and looked at him with bright eyes, "If you want me to kneel down and perform a great salute, not to mention the monarch, even no one can do it, I am a dignified man, kneeling to the sky and the ground is kneeling to my parents, the man has gold under the paint, so he can kneel and worship at will." ”

Xu Bao looked at the monarch's expression with his spare eyes, but the monarch did not have any dissatisfied expression, Xu Bao complained even more angrily to the old general in front of him, as a man, if you don't even bow down to your parents first, you will bow down to others, your conscience will go, and you are worthy of the grace of your parents who raised you. At this time, Xu Bao opened his mouth to reprimand the general in front of him in an excited mood, and the general gradually lowered his head.

Lan'er was stunned when she saw her knowing Childe's actions today.

"It's really not a loss to be a son, a son is a talented person, and even the most difficult old general to deal with in the defense of the country is ashamed of himself in a few words."

The monarch on the throne spoke: "Okay, this Xu Gongzi doesn't need to say it anymore, if you want me to believe in you, you have to show a little real ability to convince me." ”

Listening to the words of the monarch of the Duwei Kingdom, he was very unhappy in his heart, which was obviously partial to his subordinates. He asked, "Then I wonder what the monarch wants me to prove?" ”

"How do you have the ability to govern the country?"

Xu Bao took out the knowledge he learned in his era at this moment and began to show off.

"The first thing to govern the country is to govern the army, and the first thing to govern the army is to support the people. I don't know if the monarch understands? ”

Xu Bao's words made the monarch frown slightly, and Xu Bao saw that his explanation made the monarch not understand.

Xu Bao spoke again: "Whoever governs the country must first enrich the people." If the people are rich, it is easy to govern, and if the people are poor, it is difficult to govern. Do you know what it is? If the people are rich, they will be safe and the family will be safe, and if the country is safe, they will respect and fear sin, and if they respect and fear sin, they will be easy to cure. If the people are poor, they will be in danger of the township and the family, and if the people in the dangerous township are light, they will dare to violate the ban, and if they violate the ban, it will be difficult to treat. Therefore, the country is always rich, and the chaotic country is often poor. Those who serve the country with good will first enrich the people and then rule them." I don't know if the monarch understands this.

Xu Bao's heart was depressed, this ancient speech made him almost become an ancient.

Xu Bao's way of governing the country really opened the monarch's eyes.

The monarch immediately got up and walked towards Xu Bao at this time, and looked at Xu Bao very respectfully, Xu Gongzi is not a talented person, and my little country lacks talents like Xu Gongzi.

Lan'er was shocked when she heard Xu Bao's way of governing the country.

"I hope Xu Gongzi didn't blame him just now." The monarch turned his head and glared at the general just now, why don't you hurry up and come over and apologize to Xu Gongzi.

When the old general heard that the monarch of the capital had asked a dignified general to apologize to a boy who came from nowhere, he was very unconvinced.

Xu Bao saw it and said: "No need, I am not a person with a small belly, I will convince you in the future." Xu Bao inspected the civil and military officials on both sides.

The monarch beckoned, asked these civil and military officials to step down, personally held Xu Bao's hand, and invited him to the apse for a continuation.

Xu Bao said: "The monarch doesn't have to be so anxious to listen to my way of governing the country, it is better to put it into practice than to talk about it on paper." ”

"Yes, yes! What Xu Gongzi said is! It was me who was reckless. ”

"Lan'er, your tone has changed at the moment, brother, why are you so anxious. Xu Gongzi has promised me to help us defend the country. ”

Hearing Lan'er's words, the monarch smiled. Le Hehe said: "Xu Gongzi, don't be surprised, I'm too reckless." ”

"Xu Gongzi, our defense of the country is weak, so the surrounding countries will bully and oppress us to defend the country. First of all, now there is Xu Gongzi, I yearn for our patriotism, and it is absolutely bright. ”

"Monarch, don't yearn for it too much, governing the country is not a one-time thing, it must be gradual."

"Sovereign, if I am asked to govern and defend the country, I hope that no one will participate or hinder me. If the monarch can do this, I promise that he will no longer let the surrounding countries oppress and defend the country in the slightest. ”

The monarch of the patriotic country wrinkled and pondered, if the monarch can't do it, I, Xu Bao, will take my leave.

Hearing that Xu Bao was about to say goodbye and leave, he said anxiously: "Xu Gongzi, I will do my best to fulfill Xu Gongzi's requirements?" ”

Xu Bao became worried after hearing this, and the monarch saw that Xu Bao was thinking about it, and cast a helping look at his sister.

Lan'er saw it and said loudly: "Childe, you promised Lan'er to help Weiguo become stronger, what else do you think about?" ”

Hear what your favorite person has to say. "Lan'er isn't what I'm thinking about? Governing the country is not a trivial matter, and if I have other people doing tricks in the exercise of the statecraft, no plan of governance will work? ”

Lan'er looked at her sovereign brother, and the monarch of the country saw her sister looking at her.

made a solid decision, "Gongzi Xu, you will boldly help me defend the country and become strong, no matter who does not have my words, you don't have to obey." ”

"Good! I believe that the words of the dignified monarch are absolutely true. ”

Hearing the words, the patriotic monarch was a little dumbfounded.

Xu Bao saw that the monarch in front of him was stunned because of his words, and hurriedly stroked his head haha, the monarch I meant by one sentence to drive over the nine dingzhong.

"Oh!"

"How about I make Xu Gongzi the post of Taifu now?"

"Xu Gongzi, if the country is strong and does not rely on the protection of any powerful country, I will make Xu Gongzi the prime minister."

Xu Bao said calmly: "I don't need an official position, this time it is also because of Lan'er that I am willing to help defend the country." ”

When Lan'er heard Xu Bao's words, she was overjoyed in her heart, and she saw Lan'er's affectionate eyes staring at Xu Bao, and Xu Bao was stunned for a moment when she saw it.

When the monarch saw this, he smiled approvingly.

Lan'er saw that Gongzi showed that appearance again, and bowed her head shyly for a while.

Seeing this, the monarch coughed lightly. Xu Bao came back to his senses and said calmly: "Monarch, it's not too late, Lan'er and I will retire now, and tomorrow I will start to implement the governing plan." ”

"Young Master Xu, you don't stay overnight in the palace."

"I Xu Mou understands the kindness of the monarch of the country."

The monarch of the patriotic country saw that Xu Bao could not be retained, and he did not force him to stay, so he had to follow Xu Bao's wishes.

The monarch of the patriotic country arranged for his personal guards to escort Xu Gongzi safely to the Lan'er mansion.
