The Son of Heaven said solemnly: "You are wrong, the county lord is not a rebellion. ”

Zhang He was immediately stunned: "Isn't it?" ”

The Son of Heaven nodded: "The county lord's family is loyal and patriotic, and there is no doubt about this. ”

Zhang He said: "Then why does she still send huge amounts of money to enemy countries?" ”

The Son of Heaven said: "She did this for two reasons, the first is to improve the status and prestige of our military generals, although it is now a peaceful and prosperous era, but as far as I know, there are indeed many civil officials below who have no one in their eyes, [***] into the wind, they think that they can change the world by playing with their incorruptible tongues, but they don't know that if there is no war, they will not be able to consolidate the foundation of the country, but this is not the fundamental reason." ”

Zhang He said: "Then what is the root cause? ”

The Son of Heaven pointed to the map on the wall again: "Qing family, please look at my surroundings, there are Fusang Goryeo and Dongying Wako in the east, which pose a great threat to our east coast; In the south, there are small countries such as Nanban, which make the border defense quite a headache; In the west, Turkic and Western Xia and other countries have coveted it for a long time, and they have imposed tariffs on our westward journey; But the biggest threat is still the Mongolian Great Liao in the north, although the country and the people are safe in the Central Plains, the heart of its external enemy country is never dead, people have no near worries, there must be long-term concerns, people are still like this, not to mention the country? Don't take carelessness lightly. ”

Zhang He looked at him with admiration, the Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven, and his strategic vision is indeed far-reaching.

The Son of Heaven said: "The Mongolian Great Liao is a fierce and brave people, although the territory is large and the people are barren on the surface, it is not. ”

"Oh?" Zhang He was curious.

The Son of Heaven pointed to the Mongolian territory and said: "For more than ten years, although our dynasty is recuperating, and the Mongolian Great Liao is going around to fight against other countries every year, although the soldiers are lost because of this, but the surviving troops are elite and strong generals, such an army can be good at fighting, it can be said that it is indeed a good man with one enemy and a hundred, if such a ferocious enemy army goes south, crosses the polar regions, and invades the Northeast Pass in one fell swoop, how should our dynasty resist?" ”

Zhang He was stunned for a moment.

The words of the Son of Heaven are extremely reasonable, and this reason is also easy to figure out.

People's army is fighting every year, has a strong combat experience, is the so-called big waves of sand, digging to the end of the left are gold, but our army has not been fighting for many years, a little better is the exercise, or it is on paper, such a force is really on the battlefield, and others are vicious, which is stronger and weaker still need to fight? The probability of being beaten to the point of losing armor and fleeing in the wilderness is very high.

To borrow the point of view of "Dynasty", you spend your days studying sword forging, refining medicine, and mechanisms.

Yes, the things you created are very awesome, but people have been practicing martial arts, you have completed your research, and they have also achieved great achievements, and now the two of you are fighting, and it is estimated that the side with the highest force value still has a much greater chance of winning.

The Son of Heaven said slowly: "I have been planning for a long time, if this batch of gold and silver is transported into the Great Liao, the Liao State can hoard grain, grass and clothing, and it will not be a problem to cross the polar barrier in one fell swoop, and then our army will meet a strong enemy, if this war is won, our Celestial Dynasty can not only solve many domestic problems, but also greatly deter the surrounding small countries from making reckless moves." ”

Zhang He was stunned, the strategic vision of the Son of Heaven is indeed very human.

"But what if we don't win this battle?" Zhang He asked rhetorically.

The Son of Heaven said slowly: "I naturally know the concerns of the Qing family, this transportation of property naturally has great risks, if this battle is not won, I am afraid that the three eastern provinces will fall into the hands of the enemy; But if there is no war, the enemy country will continue to fight in the south and north every year, and we will continue to cultivate obscurity, and the war will start in the future, and the gap in strength between the two sides will only be greater. ”

Zhang He was deeply shocked, these were things he had never thought of and could not imagine.

The Son of Heaven said: "What's more, this secret transport of gold and silver property, our dynasty has been fully prepared, careful arrangement, if the Mengliao coalition army comes to attack, I personally come to the front line to supervise the army, then the morale of the army is like a rainbow, the whole country is excited, it is not difficult to repel the enemy army, if this battle is won, at least it can ensure the stability of our dynasty for decades." ”

Zhang He said: "But the coalition army is attacking with iron hooves, swords and soldiers are everywhere, and many soldiers and civilians in the three eastern provinces have been tragically killed, isn't this contrary to Your Majesty's original intention to prosper the country and secure the people?" ”

The Son of Heaven sighed and said, "I don't understand this truth, but this is thousands of times better than the destruction of the whole country, right?" The battlefield is ruthless, although I also oppose the use of violence to counter violence, but throughout the Chinese dynasties and dynasties, in the face of the provocation and covetousness of the enemy country, which dynasty and which generation relied on Taoguang to survive the crisis? Do you expect the mediocre peace and protests of the civilian officials to resolve the crisis? Therefore, in the war, bloodshed and sacrifice are inevitable. ”

Zhang He also nodded and said, "That's right!" ”

The Son of Heaven said: "The county lord's painstaking efforts, I was also extremely incomprehensible, many Wuhou secretly collected gold for the county lord, I was extremely angry when I heard the news, originally punished the county lord of the nine clans, but after thinking about it, the county lord's family is loyal to the monarch and patriotism, and take precautions, it is really ashamed of me, and along the way, there are many heroes and the Qing family to fight wits and courage, and finally send this property smoothly, the enemy country thinks that this wealth is a gift from God, but I don't know that this is the death knell that I and the county lord jointly gave to them, and the army of Mengliao was buried outside the northeast pass of our dynasty, Sacrifice my Chinese soul with the spirit of barbarians. ”

A chill rose from the soles of Zhang He's feet and swept all over his body.

He has always felt that the rivers and lakes are dangerous and unpredictable, but in fact, what is really terrible is the political scheming and change.

The Son of Heaven sighed again: "All the Qing family have escorted all the way, especially the Qing family, you and Zhong Aiqing are the first to be meritorious, so no matter what you want, I will satisfy you." ”

In the past, Zhang He was very excited to complete big tasks and get rewards.

But this time, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh, to be happy or sad, because he couldn't judge whether he had done it right or wrong.

He had only one feeling, an unknown fear of the future and endless confusion.

Seeing that his expression was blank and he was standing in despair, the Son of Heaven seemed to see through his thoughts, and suddenly said, "Mr. Wang." ”

An elderly eunuch had already come in from outside and bowed down: "The old slave is here." ”

The Son of Heaven said, "Go and bring the things." ”

Mr. Wang: "The old slave respects the order." ”

A golden tray was quickly delivered to Zhang He, containing three pills and a piece of deed paper.

The pills were golden, jet black and transparent, and the deed paper seemed to be the contract used by the royal family, Zhang He raised his head and hesitated: "Your Majesty, this is ......"

The Son of Heaven smiled and said: "Don't worry, this is my reward for the Qing family's escort along the way, the Qing family is talented, I am lacking such a pillar of the Qing family, and my side is also anxious to ask for the imperial guards, the Qing family ......."

This time, Zhang He was afraid, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the grass people are afraid that they will not be able to do it......"

The Son of Heaven interrupted him instead: "The concerns of the Qing family have long been expected by me. ”

Zhang He was surprised: "Oh? ”

Although the Son of Heaven is smiling, his eyes are sharper than any blade: "With the intelligence of the Qing family, I don't want to be an official in the court, I am ordered by the sky, I am the pride of the sky, and I have the heart of the sky. ”

As soon as the mouth of heaven and Chrysostom opened, no one could object, Zhang He had to kneel down and arch his hand: "My lord Long's grace and heaven's grace are mighty, may my emperor live forever, and may my king be eternal and solid." ”

After speaking, Zhang He took the gold plate with both hands.

Only then did the Son of Heaven show a gentle smile again: "Manager Wang! ”

Mr. Wang bowed down and said, "The old slave is here!" ”

The Son of Heaven waved his hand: "Send Wu Aiqing out of the palace." ”

The chief steward of the king kowtowed and said, "The old slave obeys the order." ”

When today's son is really a decisive person, and he is indeed the son of heaven, if you want to come, you have to come, if you want to go, you have to leave immediately, without any mud and water.

Walking out of the Xuanwu Gate, looking at the majestic and solemn Da Nei, and then looking at the magnificent and vast Jingshi, Zhang He sighed, he didn't expect the final outcome of the mission to be so sighing, he couldn't tell whether this time was right or wrong, so he still held his head high and strode towards the sunny place.

Of course, on the way back, he didn't forget to take a look at the current emperor's reward, and the royal gift must be extraordinary.

The golden pill is "King's Landing Pill":

The use requires 3 turns of scattered cultivation above level 80, no affiliation to any sect, innate strength +20%, innate internal strength +20%, innate body method +20%, congenital constitution +20%, congenital root bone +20%, this pill can only be taken once, without any side effects.

When today's Zi Yu is really a good thing, look at this 4-turn pill, a total of 5 surnames, each turn is 20% of the best surnames, worthy of "the king of the world".

The only regret is that it doesn't add innate martial arts or attach a surname, but there are no side effects, right? The most important thing is that the bones have been turned.

The jet-black pill is "Heavenly Fragrance Succession Ointment":

Requirements: None; Effect: Level +30, this pill has no side effects; The bullish Dongdong is the bullish Dongdong, what else can Zhang He say, and only the reward of the Son of Heaven is so against the sky, after taking this medicine, it will be a high level of 103, and the time is finally ripe for 4 turns, it seems that the brain system has also begun to pay attention to Zhang He, knowing his specific situation, these rewards are tailor-made.

The transparent pill is the Royal Celestial Dew:

Requirements: None; Effect: +1 for all martial arts levels; This is the most powerful thing, it's hard to buy, wrong, priceless! I don't know how much time and energy I can save myself from cultivating, especially for a peerless martial art like "Lingxi One Finger" and the superior martial arts of "Meteor Outside the Sky".

But in the end, the contract was opened, and after Zhang He read the content of the paper on it, he couldn't talk about whether to be happy or unhappy, alas, the emperor is really smart, Zhang He suddenly came up with a lot of wonderful ideas, if Mr. Jun and the Son of Heaven fight their wits, then the situation must be very interesting.

Anyway? There is still a long way to go, Zhang He still has to go on, and Xiao Zhang's goal is still firm - the brothers don't seek to dominate the world, just to eat a mouthful of food, of course, now this mouthful of rice is already relatively big, and it is all mixed at the feet of the Son of Heaven.
