After listening to Liu Hou's words, Guan Gong began to get excited again, and kept begging Liu Hou to let him lead the troops to the battle. Liu Hou waved his hand and asked him to sit down and speak. After Guan Gong finally sat down patiently, Liu Houcai opened his mouth and persuaded him:

"Although the Wa Kingdom is made up of several islands, the total area of these islands is not small. To completely occupy these places, it will take a lot of manpower and material resources. In order to mobilize so many manpower and material resources to fight across the sea, it is necessary to mobilize the strength of the whole country, and it will take at least two to three years of preparation time to achieve this.

Second uncle, you have been leading troops outside for a long time, and you may not know the current situation in the imperial court. It was not an easy task to wage a national war of such magnitude against the Wa Kingdom. Now the new imperial court structure has been gradually built, the entire governance system has been basically perfected, and the court has been automatically operated according to the set rules. ”

"So what?" Guan Gong asked with a puzzled look.

Looking at his confused eyes, Liu Houcai realized that Guan Gong really didn't understand so many professional terms, let alone so many court situations. In the words of later generations, he was a man who did not understand politics. If he didn't have his own protection, he would inevitably be swallowed up by the cruel politics ~ governance ~ fight ~ fight ~ to the point that there were no bones left.

So Liu Hou explained: "Okay, second uncle, don't be impatient, let me explain to you how the court works now." Now the decisions of the court are mainly made by the cabinet, and I will only mention it at the appropriate time......"

"Bang!" Guan Gong slammed his palm on the stone platform, making a buzzing sound, Liu Hou's words were stopped, his eyes stared at the stone platform, and he wondered if this stone platform would be smashed by him with one palm as said in martial arts.

But fortunately, this is not martial arts, and no matter how high the martial arts are, people can't smash the thick stone platform with a pair of fleshy palms. I only heard Guan Gong say hatefully: "These rebellious ministers and thieves dare to do this!" Your Majesty, don't panic, wait for the old ministers to go and kill these rebellious ministers and thieves who dare to bully Your Majesty one by one. ”

Liu Hou sweated and hurriedly explained: "It's not that they want to rebel, it's not that they want to overthrow the king, this is the system of the court." This system was set up by me, and it is not customized, just try it first to see if it is not useful, if it is not good, I can abolish or adjust it at any time, second uncle do not worry. Afraid that Guan Gong would still want to be crooked, Liu Hou hurriedly explained it to eliminate his misunderstanding.

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, what is it that you don't decide by yourself? Why is there such a system? In the long run, I am afraid that the monarch's power will fall, and if it is not good, it will be a rebellion of ten permanent servants. Even if there is no rebellion of the ten permanent servants, if there is something that needs to be decided as soon as possible, it will become very troublesome and ...... It's what the boys often call efficiency, yes, no efficiency at all. "It's fair.

"Second uncle, you don't understand, I am in order to open peace for all generations, and for the Han Dynasty to last for ten thousand years, I must establish a good system. If everything is decided by the emperor, in case of an unfilial son among my descendants~ who becomes a tyrant or a faint monarch, this country will be defeated by him sooner or later.

Of course, the system will not be static, and will always change according to different situations. I will leave behind the precepts of our ancestors that there is no need to blindly abide by the laws of our ancestors. ”

"This ......"

Seeing that Guan Gong still looked puzzled, Liu Hou couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, second uncle, this reason is very complicated to explain, and when I have time in the future, I will slowly tell the second uncle one by one."

As for whether it will get out of control, I have my own way to prevent this possibility. Let's not talk about all of this, but let's get down to business and talk about how to deal with the objections of the ladies in the DPRK and China. Liu Hou really didn't want to explain the significance of the establishment of this system at this time, so he had to divert the topic first.

"Okay, but Your Majesty, even if you want to find people to fight with Confucianism, it seems that you should also find Kong Ming and them, it's okay to find your second uncle to play tricks, is it wrong to go to the court to debate with people?" Justice.

"Hehe, second uncle, don't worry, in the war of words in the court, I will naturally find someone else to charge. Most of my men are eloquent readers. The reason why the second uncle was involved in this matter was to use the second uncle's prestige to deter those oppositionists.

Second, I wanted the second uncle to explain to them the situation of the Japanese State in person, as the governor of the Han Navy. The second uncle said to them, you have secretly sent spies to conduct a detailed reconnaissance of the Japanese country, and you have a thorough understanding of the social, political, economic, humanistic, military, geographical, and mineral deposits over there. ”

"However, the second uncle doesn't know much about the situation over there." Guan Gong said with some embarrassment, "The navy did send some spies to the Wa Kingdom to reconnoitre, but most of them were along the coastline of the Wa Islands.

There were also a few spies who landed on some islands to inquire about the news, but because of the language barrier, they did not dare to go too deep into the Japanese country, and only stopped along the coast for a short time before boarding the ship and returning. So the information that has been found is actually very limited. ”

"Hehe, it's okay, I have some information about the Wa Kingdom here." As he spoke, Liu Hou handed Guan Gong a booklet and continued: "Second Uncle will take this booklet back and study it well, not only will it be useful for this war of words with the ministers, but it will also be very useful when he lands on the island to attack the Japanese Kingdom in the future." ”

Guan Gong took the book, opened it, and couldn't help but gasp. I saw that this book was indeed as the little emperor said, describing the social, political, economic, humanistic, military, geographical, and mineral conditions of the Japanese kingdom in great detail, far beyond the crude news that the naval spies under his command had inquired about.

If you want to use an analogy, then the news found by the naval spies is like a crude and short country song, and the content of the book given to him by the little emperor is as rich and detailed as his favorite "Spring and Autumn".

"This, this ......" Guan Gong made a voice of disbelief, he wanted to ask how such a detailed thing came about.

"You don't care how this thing came about, you just need to use it properly. Also, if someone asks about the source of this information, you will say that your navy spies have worked hard to find it. I don't want a third person to know that this thing is from me. Do you understand? ”

"Oh, oh, understand, understand, the old minister obeys." Guan Gong first looked suddenly enlightened, and then saw that Liu Hou said very solemnly, and hurriedly and solemnly claimed to be the commander of the old minister.

Guan Gong thought he understood the origin of this pamphlet, and everyone knew that the little emperor had a secret intelligence department "CIA" in his hands, and the scope of reconnaissance of this department was not limited to China, and a considerable part of the forces were deployed abroad.

The Han army has had this intelligence department in all wars, but the emperor has always been secretive about this intelligence department, although they have repeatedly performed miraculous achievements, but the emperor has done everything possible to dilute the existence of this intelligence department.

In this regard, Guan Gong also understands that a secret service agency is a secret service agency, and no matter how well it is done, it will definitely be disgusting. In particular, those ministers who claim to be "upright men and gentlemen" do not want their every move to be monitored, and they must have opinions about such a secret service.

Therefore, the little emperor would rather give the credit to the navy than mention this department in front of everyone. Guan Gong automatically made up for the reason why the little emperor attributed the source of intelligence to the naval spies.
