"Enough!" This son's big slap slapped on the case, and finally quieted the Wenchen who was hanging on the river. "Since you are willing to kiss, then, I would like to ask, which of you is willing to go?"

All the ministers of civil and military affairs were dumbfounded, grinning and staring blankly at Ben Gongzi sitting on the couch. Seeing the panicked appearance of this guy clamping the chrysanthemum one by one, even Han Shige's hairy beard face was extremely tight, I really don't understand what he is nervous about, could it be that he thinks that he has the capital to become a little shouby just by virtue of his rough image?

Ben Gongzi rubbed his brows, cleared his throat and explained: "Okay, I mean, which of you is willing to contribute your daughter and give it to the Western Turks?" ”

Everyone stared at each other, one by one grinning, but no one dared to jump out and pat his chest and say that he was willing to contribute his daughter to marry the barbarians of the Western Turks.

I continued to say unhurriedly: "You love to chat, you are all important ministers of the country, the pillar of the court, this matter, but it is beneficial to the country and the people." I am a little selfish, and I don't want to use my daughter as a trading commodity, but the earnest words of your Aiqing make me have to think carefully. ”

"Who wants to take the initiative to contribute their daughter to marry that forty-year-old Tong Yehu, to enjoy a vast grassland life that can freeze people to death in winter and blow people to the sky? If you wish, please put your hand up. I looked at these fellows expectantly, to see if any of them were not afraid of death, or who was willing to sell their women for glory, would jump out.

"...... "If the court just now was like a busy market on the side of the street, and the ministers were like a vegetable seller who was spilling, but now, the court was as cold as the cold tomb, and these ministers were like silent ghosts wandering in the tomb.

"Why didn't you respond?" Ben Gongzi leaned on the handrail of the couch very comfortably, and looked at the important ministers of the court and the pillar of the country with great interest.

Just now, Wei Zheng, who had been silent, cleared his throat at this time and stood up. "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the focus between my Huaxia and the Western Turkic Khanate is not whether to make peace, but interests."

I nodded with satisfaction, I love to hear this, no matter how strong the Western Turks are, so what? Could it be that my Huaxia is not strong enough? As long as I want, I can equip millions of reservists at any time and become an elite army in no time.

Even if Ben Gongzi gritted his teeth and ordered a large artillery project, it would only take three to five months to cast at least more than 500 artillery pieces.

So to be honest, I'm not afraid of the provocations of these barbarians right now. Not to mention how sharp their bow horses are, the advantages of the nomads will gradually die out under the large-scale use of gunpowder weapons.

"Yes, yes, Wei Shangshu said this very kindly, the minister just lost his words, and asked His Majesty to forgive his sins." Fang Xuanling hurriedly clapped his hands and applauded, and then pleaded guilty to me with a frank and lenient look.

"It's okay, I know that you are all loyal ministers of the country, and the words of Fang Cai are just to let you express your opinions, what is the crime?" Whipped a whip, naturally to give a sweet date, in this regard, this son is still quite good at being a person, hearing this, those ministers who have just screamed the most fiercely, especially the ministers who have a girl of the right age to be married at home, even let out a long breath, wiped the cold sweat on the corners of his forehead, and looked like he had palpitations. Come to think of it, they also think that it is indeed not appropriate to give their daughter to a bad old man as a daughter-in-law.

However, sending someone else's daughter-in-law is really coaxing if it has nothing to do with your own interests. A bunch of beasts! At least they do it like animals. Of course, my mother-in-law is not among them, she is just making a fool of herself, just making a fuss, and she will be trained well when she returns home, so she doesn't have to despise her.

For example, through the route of the Western Regions, we can properly carry out wine and horse and other trade with the Western Turks, and as long as the Western Turks can ensure the safety of our merchants in the Western Regions, then we will increase the amount of silk and tea provided to the Western Turks.

In short, these people finally began to discuss and discuss whether to strengthen trade with the Western Turks, so that both sides could gain more benefits.

After everything was discussed, Li Yuanfang was about to shout to retreat from the court, I stood up and waved at him, then glanced at the many ministers in the hall, and said solemnly: "What I want to tell you is that no matter what the reasons for the past dynasties and dynasties were reconciled, in the Chinese Empire established by me, there will be no such thing as exchanging women for peace or benefits. I want you and the people of my Huaxia Empire to know that my Huaxia Empire has a backbone and an iron backbone......"

No matter how miserable it is, no matter how critical the situation is, we will never exchange women for peace, and we will never cede land and pay reparations. No harmony, no compensation, no land, no tribute, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies...... At this moment, all of a sudden, I seemed to have traveled through time and space and came to the last great dynasty established by the Han nation.

In the Ming Dynasty, although she made this and that mistake, who would dare to slander her iron bones, how brave Zhu Yuanzhang was when he first raised the army, most of them had heard how wise Zhu Di, the king of Yan who later became the Emperor of Yongle, and how ridiculous Zhu Houzhao of Zhengde Emperor was.

But every emperor of the Ming Dynasty, none of them was soft-boned. You see that Emperor Chongzhen was martyred as the Son of Heaven, you see that orthodoxy was captured but never begged for mercy, you see that Longwu died on the battlefield, and you see that Shaowu was captured and committed suicide by hunger strike...... All this proves at least one thing, that their backbone is straight and hard.

The Ming Dynasty was indeed the only dynasty in the ancient world that did not sign any unequal treaties with other countries or powers, and was the only dynasty that never yielded to any power, even temporarily, among all the empires in the ancient world that had a history of more than a hundred years. The Ming army was the longest resistance in the world after the collapse of the country, and they persisted in resisting the Qing Dynasty for 38 years.

The Ming army was able to maintain such a lasting combat effectiveness, not only because the Ming Dynasty itself was not a dynasty with weak people. Whether it is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty or the people, they all have a resolute and unyielding character, whether it is the famous "Jiading Three Massacres" or "Yangzhou Ten Days" in history, when you see the words of "keep your head without hair, keep your hair without leaving your head", when you see "since the beginning of leap June, the people of Jiading spontaneously revolted against the Qing Dynasty, within two months, more than 10 battles, more than 20,000 people sacrificed, known as the 'Jiading Three Massacres'" such a record, even if you have never asked about that period of history, you can not be moved.

And such an iron backbone, I hope that all the Chinese people in this era can remember. I hope that the Chinese empire I created will not only have a strong national strength, but also have pride and self-confidence, as well as an unyielding backbone.

“…… I, the Chinese Empire, whether it is the emperor, the ministers, or the people of the world, should keep this in mind. A thunderclap roared in the air, and the wind blew into the court, stirring up the clothes of the civil and military officials, and also stirring up the surging blood in their hearts.

Looking at the faces that gradually became excited and even passionate from shame and guilt, my heart was like a shocking wave. Perhaps, in the future, they will forget a lot of things, but I believe that they will never forget this scene, forget my words today, and the future will be engraved in my Chinese blood forever.

Let them no longer grovel to those aliens, and let them not lead their necks when facing swords and guns, but know how to stand up and resist even if only teeth and fists are available. Only in this way can the Chinese nation truly stand at the top of the world.

On the same day, these remarks were printed in the specially printed edition of the Guanzhong Daily and disseminated through newspapers, magazines, and other public opinion media, and their impact far exceeded word of mouth.

My words are really uplifting, very motivating, and even more refreshing and impassioned. Many literati are even in the Goolan Pavilion, leaning on the red and leaning on the green, holding up the lamp to the sky, and chanting loudly.

In the past, in the eyes of those literati, the weight of the family far exceeded that of the country and the world. This is also the reason why those family gate valves can be passed down for thousands of years without falling. In the eyes of these family lords, it doesn't matter which dynasty or generation, whether it is a Han or a foreign race.

All they are worried about is whether their family's prestige will be passed on for a longer time, whether their family's bloodline will be prosperous, and whether their family's wealth will rival a country. Just like now, those families in the Central Plains are still living exceptionally nourishing.

Even if it is Dou Jiande, who was born as a peasant, or Wang Shichong, who killed the monarch and betrayed the lord, no matter who is in power, it has nothing to do with them, and what they need is to cooperate with those in power. Moreover, they will also influence the people around them, or rather, more people who are attached to them, condensed around small collectives one after another, forming one after another family gates that have existed for thousands of years and are still standing no matter how they change their dynasty.

And now, the family valve of Guanzhong and Bashu has lost the cohesion that has existed for thousands of years, yes, when the concept of the country and the world is more and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, when everyone is proud of the people of the Chinese Empire, the cohesion of the family can be said to be gradually collapsing.

Even the students cultivated by many family valves, now, are no longer the same as in the past, they just want to exploit the interests of the country in this way, thinking that their families will supply blood, so that these parasites will become fatter and stronger.
