Chapter 228: Convincing the Emperor
"Let's talk about it in the future, Da Zhou does have the strength to take down the Ogi Kingdom now, but how will he rule in the future? The rebellion of the whole people of the Ogi Kingdom will lead to countless deaths and injuries, even if the people of the Ogi Kingdom have to surrender to the Great Zhou, but are they truly surrendering in their hearts? Their brothers and relatives all died under the weapons of the Great Zhou, the Great Zhou will only become the enemy in their hearts, they surrender on the surface, but their hearts are looking forward to resisting at any time, as long as one person raises his arms and waves, he will respond to the call and rebel against the rule of the Great Zhou, that kind of scene, presumably Weichen does not say, His Majesty can also imagine, and such a country, such a unity, is it what Your Majesty wants to see? ”
The emperor frowned and pondered, and did not speak, but Wan Feng continued, "Maybe Your Majesty thinks that if the Great Zhou force is so strong, what can the Di Kingdom be able to resist?" But has Your Majesty thought about the future? Although Wechen's weapons are unique in Ogi Country, but talented people abound in this world, since Wechen can research such a weapon, can't Ogi Country research it? So what kind of consequences will be caused by the 'chaos' of the two sides together? Your Majesty, what kind of impact do you think your actions will have on future generations? What kind of evaluation will future generations give your majesty? ”
The emperor didn't say anything, just frowned tightly, thinking about what Wan Feng said, and finally muttered, "Is it wrong for me to want to complete the great cause of unifying the Ogi Kingdom of my ancestors?" ”
Wan Feng continued, "Of course, there is nothing wrong with being able to fulfill the last wish of the ancestors of the Great Zhou Dynasty and unify this continent, but the timing is not right, for example, taking the Rong tribe, but the time is just ripe, and the people of the Rong tribe will feel 'excited' and support Your Majesty, Your Majesty is the Ming monarch who rescued them from suffering, and attacking the Di Kingdom, there is no such time at present." ”
The emperor understood in an instant, and said with a smile, "I understand, fortunately Aiqing is back, otherwise I would have become a sinner in this world." ”
Wan Feng is very important to the emperor's this, so he can rest assured that he will know the hot weapon 'handed' to him, he can listen to the advice of the courtiers, from letting go of the old general Wan who tried to rebel, it can be seen that he is a 'broad-minded' person, can be regarded as a generation of Ming Jun.
Seeing that the emperor listened to it, Wan Feng also breathed a sigh of relief, when he heard the emperor's actions, Wan Feng and Lu Ziqi were afraid that the emperor would be blinded by ambition, and Lu Ziqi was even more afraid of Wan Feng's opposition to Beijing, which caused the emperor's dissatisfaction and was not good for Wan Feng.
Wan Feng finally 'revealed' a smile, "Your Majesty is wise, and Weichen just respects his duty." "As for the handling of the relationship between the Di Kingdom and the Great Zhou in the back, Wan Feng has already given Ye Lu Fei an idea, as long as Ye Lu Fei has a brain and shows sincerity, he thinks that the emperor will not easily invade the Di Kingdom again.
Of course, if the royal family of the Ogi Kingdom gave the Great Zhou a chance to invade in the future, he would not 'intervene' again.
Although Wan Feng's words made him completely give up his desire to attack Ogi and fail to realize his dream of continental unification, it didn't matter, as long as Ogi gave him a chance, he would not be soft.
Just thinking that Wan Feng had settled down in the small village of Qingyang City, he said with some regret, "It's better for Aiqing to come back to Beijing, and I will send someone to build a general mansion for Aiqing." ”
Wan Feng shook his head with a smile and said, "Your Majesty doesn't know, Weichen is not in the court, but Weichen admires His Majesty's generation of Mingjun, if Your Majesty needs Weichen, Weichen will not shirk." ”
The emperor sighed in his heart, and it seemed that he still couldn't keep it, so he had to ask, "Then what are Aiqing's plans over there in Qingyang City?" ”
Speaking of this, Wan Feng couldn't help but chuckle out loud and said, "It's not bad to go to Xiaowang Village to be a gentleman and teach the children." "Wan Feng is so smart, Doudou Dan Dan is getting older, he has reached the age of enlightenment 'Meng' education, 'Chun' grass pondered Wan Feng every day to be a teacher for children some time ago, how could Wan Feng not see it, anyway, it's okay to stay in Xiaowang Village, he likes to get along with children, and it seems that it is not bad to be a gentleman.
The emperor listened to Wan Feng's words, but his eyes lit up, and he began to think about it in his heart, thinking that Lu Ziqi was said to be over there, and he also heard that a house was built very beautifully, but he also wanted to go and see it, and by the way, he also inspected the people's feelings.
Since sitting in the position of the emperor, he doesn't seem to have been out of Beijing much, and now it's time to go around to take a look, of course, the emperor was thinking in his heart, but he didn't tell Wan Feng, and he planned to wait for himself to deal with the affairs of Beijing, so he went out to take a look, of course, not only to go out to take a look, he also had other purposes.
Wan Feng saw that the emperor had not spoken, as if he was thinking about something, so he asked, "Your Majesty still has something to do, and if it's okay, Weichen will retreat first." ”
Only then did the emperor come back to his senses and said, "It's rare to see Aiqing, Aiqing has left for lunch, and I want to talk to Aiqing more." ”
Wan Feng did not refuse, so he continued to sit still, and the eunuch beside the emperor carefully added tea to the two, remembering that Prince Alexander of the Zenit Kingdom came to Shangjing before, and then went back and there was no news, Wan Feng inquired curiously, "I heard that Prince Alexander came over, His Majesty intends to marry him, what happened after that?" ”
The emperor sighed lightly and said, "Speaking of this, it really makes me helpless, I intend to marry Prince Alexander, but there are no 'girls' of the right age in the palace, so I held a banquet, so that only the princes and nobles in Beijing are of the right age." The daughter's family brought it over, to see if Alexander had any intentions, but from the beginning to the end of the banquet, there was no expression, and King Shangshu was also a violent temper, and stood up directly and said that Prince Alexander did not look at Da Zhou in his eyes, so many princes and ministers were beautiful. The daughter was chosen by him, but he did not say it from beginning to end, but Prince Alexander said that he did not know the purpose of the banquet, and he did not want his prince and concubine to make such a hasty decision, so he did not want to, so he argued with the king of Shangshu. Prince Alexander left the next day, and I couldn't keep it anymore, but I was also 'quite curious', what was that Zenit kingdom like, if I hadn't seen Prince Zenit, I would have thought that this world was such a big land, but now it seems that I am still narrow-minded, maybe there are other countries in other distant places. ”
Wan Feng said, "Neiko and Lu Ziqi's wife were once taken captive and rescued by Prince Alexander, they went to the distant Zenit Kingdom, and when they came back, they told Weichen that the continent on their side is unified with only one Zenit Kingdom, and they all pay more attention to emotional marriages and practice monogamy, so that there is no difference between brothers and sisters in the family; However, Prince Alexander went to Qingyang City before, and Weichen also saw it, and he said that he liked our oriental 'girl'; Neizi also said that they have a lot of things that we don't have here, and there are some things on our side that they don't have there, and if you can establish business contacts with them, it will be of great help to the development of the Great Zhou. ”
The emperor listened to Wan Feng's words, a little surprised, since ancient times, the parents ordered the matchmaker's words, and the men are three wives and four concubines, although he has a good relationship with the queen, and it is also a matter of getting along with the queen after getting married, and then he became the queen, but he also has a lot of concubines in his palace, just to balance the power of the ministers in the court, and the Bit Kingdom is actually a free marriage? Is it still monogamy? But if you think about it carefully, monogamy, there is no distinction between concubines, is there no cannibalism because of the struggle for power and profit between concubines?
And listening to Wan Feng's words, if the establishment of trade contacts is beneficial to the development of the Great Zhou, just thinking of the unhappy parting, the emperor couldn't help but sigh, "But Prince Alexander is angry, how to establish trade exchanges, I even only know that Zenit is on the western side of the desert, and it has to pass through the vast desert." ”
Wan Feng said, "Since Prince Alexander was angry and left, let's go over to visit him, the two countries are so far apart, the customs are different, as long as Prince Alexander figures it out, he naturally won't care, as for going through the great desert, Wei Chen once had a deputy general named Ma Chang, after the battle of Moon City, he has been staying in Moon City, he is already very familiar with the desert, and Moon City has the camels that Prince Alexander gave us that are suitable for walking in the desert, His Majesty can recall Ma Chang, Then send a suitable envoy to visit the kingdom of Zenit. ”
The emperor said happily, "Okay, I will order to go down and do it as soon as possible." ”
Wan Feng continued, "However, if Your Majesty wants to send Ma Chang out of the Zenit Kingdom, please also ask Your Majesty to let him meet Wei Chen first, it is too dangerous to go to the desert, and Wei Chen still needs to 'hand' over some things to him." ”
The emperor was surprised and said, "Aiqing actually knows the desert so well. ”
Wan Feng sighed lightly, "Neiko once disappeared in the desert, was swept away by a tornado in the desert to the Zenit Kingdom, Wechen searched in the desert for several months, only to find that the desert was dangerous and windy, no wonder the desert was rumored to be so mysterious, but in the desert in these months, Wechen also carefully studied the weather changes in the desert, and how to avoid the danger in the desert as much as possible." ”
The emperor sighed, "Aiqing is really amazing, and so is Ziqi, but both of you actually love the life of idle clouds and wild cranes, and I can't leave you two by my side, I really regret and feel sad." ”
Wan Feng responded modestly, "Your Majesty has praised it. ”
The emperor said, "Aiqing doesn't have to be modest, just seeing Aiqing's side, it's really better than ten years of cold windows, it seems that anything can be solved." ”
Wan Feng was about to talk to the emperor again and be modest, when he heard the eunuch on the side say, "Your Majesty, it's lunch time, do you need to pass the meal?" ”
Listening to the words of the little eunuch, Wan Feng also breathed a sigh of relief, chatting with the emperor, carefully speaking, it was really tiring.
The emperor listened to the words of the little eunuch and ordered, "Go and inform the empress that I will entertain General Wanfeng on her side." The little eunuch really didn't understand why he had to go to the queen's palace for a meal with General Wan, but this was not something he could ask, so he obediently retreated and made arrangements.
