Chapter 1342: An Unexpected Move
"I hope you think about it, and don't bring disaster to the Moon Kingdom in the future because of your compassion. ”
Yue Luoning's words made Lin Si's mood even more complicated.
Yue Luoning would think so, then the ministers of the court and the generals in the army should be about the same. This battle seems to be really inevitable.
"Tianhe is only a mustard disease at the moment, we can wait until we defeat the Xuanluo Continent before making a decision. After all, attacking them will cost a lot of money, and if the battle is carried out too early, I am afraid that it will cause heavy losses to the Moon Kingdom, which will not be conducive to the future battle on the mainland. ”
He is not 'pleading' for Tianhe, but he really thinks so in his heart.
It is true that the army of the Moon Kingdom far surpasses the Tianhe soldiers in terms of number and strength, and at the master level, the two sides are even more different.
But the mountainous terrain still cannot be ignored. If you want to win this battle, the price you have to pay is probably beyond imagination. That kind of thing, before facing the Xuanluo Continent, it is better not to do it well.
Anyway, Tianhe can't give the Moon Kingdom any threat now, and after the situation is completely stabilized in the future, it won't be too late to slowly subdue them.
It's just that Yue Luoning is obviously not so easily convinced.
What she wants is to subdue all the six southeastern countries as soon as possible, and then put them into the pocket of the Yue country, so as to realize the grand wish of unifying the six southeastern countries.
"What if one day, when the River people invade the Xuanluo Continent, they suddenly attack us with all our strength to resist the foreign invasion?"
"This is just your groundless conjecture, at least you also said it, the Tianhe monarchs are still sober, they know what to do when and when. ”
Yue Luoning shook her head with a disappointed face: "Forget it, I don't want to force you, you can think about it in the future, this matter will be like this first." ”
"Hmmm......"
In the following time, the two sisters and brothers discussed the general battle strategy against the grassland and Southern Qi in the future.
It wasn't until late afternoon that Lin Si got up and left the palace, and also left Xiancheng.
The next war will break out within half a year, and the Taiwei Limu and the people of the Xiancheng military headquarters will prepare food and grass supplies and some baggage for the army in advance.
As for the drill of the soldiers, as well as the specific battle plan, it needs to be arranged by Lin Si, Ji Bingyun, Ye Hong, Xue Chen and others.
It wasn't until Lin Si left completely that Ying Fei, who hadn't spoken for a long time, smiled slightly: "This time it's thanks to His Highness that he came, otherwise this tax reform wouldn't have been so smooth." ”
The conversation between the two siblings just now did not avoid him the whole time, and he couldn't hear that although the two siblings were still harmonious, they still had differences on many things.
In the final analysis, Lin Si's desire for aggression was not heavy, and the reason why he was willing to go on the expedition was just to avenge the revenge of those countries besieging the Moon Country back then.
He was unwilling to destroy the homes of people in other countries, let alone enslave them. However, where can such a thing as attacking other countries be harmless?
As a result, he became more and more conflicted, he was running away from the war, and he might even begin to wonder if he was doing the right thing.
In contrast to him, Yue Luoning is a typical dilator. The ambition of expanding the territory has been deeply planted in her bone marrow since she was a child, and she has not wavered in the slightest.
She has always been firm and never contradictory. She doesn't care much about the cost of war, let alone what it will bring to the people of other countries.
She only cares if she can get what she wants, and as for whether she treats the people of other countries well in the future, it will have to wait until the war is won.
But in the war, she had to care about Lin Si's opinion. Because Lin Si is the first person in the army of the Moon Country, without him, there would be no Moon Country today.
She persecuted Lin Si because Lin Si resisted very much. Lin Si's heart is soft and hesitant, how can she not be unhappy?
These two sisters and brothers, in fact, are not born to be all the way. Because of this, the two could not reach an agreement every time they talked, and each time they were either arguing or arguing.
As Yueshan's confidant back then, Ying Fei was absolutely loyal to the two sisters and brothers, and he was actually the most trusted person in Yueluoning now. Because of this, he didn't want to see any unhappiness between the two sisters and brothers.
In his opinion, as long as the two siblings can always be of the same mind, then no one in the world can defeat the Moon Kingdom.
He has always been silent, and the reason why he took the initiative to speak unusually, and even avoided the last words about the grassland and Tianhe, was only to alleviate Yue Luoning's resentment.
Let her think about it, her brother sometimes has the same goal as her.
Perhaps it was the argument just now that made Yue Luoning a little tired, and she was sitting behind the desk with her hands on her forehead and slowly closed her eyes.
"Yes, without him, this tax reform would not have been so smooth at all. Because his words are more useful than mine......" she murmured in a low voice.
"This ...... His Royal Highness didn't mean this, he would say that at the court meeting, and he had to do it as a last resort, so that he could most smoothly get the ministers to agree to the change. He has always listened to Your Majesty, he is your staunchest supporter, and he is your most solid backing!"
Ying Fei's face showed a trace of anxiety for the first time, and from Yue Luoning's words, he heard a different meaning.
And that kind of meaning seemed to him to be extremely dangerous.
Similar situations have been staged in the royal courts of various countries, and the final outcome is not very good.
His words made Yue Luoning have to open her eyes, she shook her head, and said with a smile: "Old Ying, where do you want to go, how can I be suspicious of my own brother? ”
Ying Fei breathed a long sigh of relief: "Your Majesty can think so, I am relieved." ”
Yes, Yue Luoning's throne was originally given to her by Lin Si, and she had refused several times before that, all of which Ying Fei had seen with her own eyes.
How could these two sisters and brothers fight over the throne?
A long time ago, Ying Fei investigated Lin Si at the behest of Yueshan, and worked with him afterwards. He knew Lin Si very well, that position, Lin Si was actually avoided, and he didn't pose any threat to Yue Luoning.
Yue Luoning waved her hand, as if she didn't want to discuss this topic anymore.
"How is Princess Su Ning doing? Zhou Zichuan didn't make any changes, right?"
At the mention of Hua Susu, Ying Fei hurriedly turned pale: "Princess Suning got close to the third prince in the Wenkang palace a few days ago. As for Zhou Zichuan, he is still being tortured recently, and it is a miracle that this person can survive until now. ”
Even if the secret guards no longer secretly follow Hua Susu every day, there are still some things that can be easily known with their ears and eyes.
After all, the Wenkang Mansion was an important target for the Dark Guard.
"This person's life is really hard!" Yue Luoning's gaze crossed Ying Fei and shot directly at the small empty space outside the door, and even Ying Fei couldn't see the meaning in his eyes.
He really couldn't see that he could understand the government affairs handled by Yue Luoning, after all, he had followed Yueshan for so many years, and in fact, it was no longer as simple as a simple dark guard leader.
But Yue Luoning's handling of Hua Susu's matter, he couldn't understand it at all.
In fact, in the past six months, in addition to Zhuo Zhiyuan's father Zhuo Linyin who was promoted, there are two other ministers who have been appreciated by Yue Luoning because of their proximity to Hua Susu.
Ying Fei knew that Yue Luoning was a person who had a clear distinction between public and private, so he didn't quite understand why she was so abnormal.
And Yue Luoning's question was not over: "King Wenkang, isn't that woman afraid that the identity of the Qingchuan King of the previous dynasty is too sensitive and will cause trouble?"
"This, Princess Su Ning probably didn't think of it that far, right?"
"Heh, is it? Then, according to the previous practice, promote the third son of Wenkang Wangfu to Shang Shulang. ”
"Ah...... What?" Ying Fei was really surprised this time.
"What?" Yue Luoning smiled silently, as if he was thinking very simply: "Is there anything wrong? As the former third prince of Qingchuan, he should still have a certain amount of talent, right? Shang Shulang's position is actually overkill, isn't it?"
Shang Shulang's official position is not of high rank, and he generally exists as an assistant to the chief officials of Shang Shutai's various departments. Shang Shulang can generally be promoted to a squire after his term of office of three years, and there are also various Shangshu on it, Shangshu left and right, left and right servants, and Shang Shuling and other chief officials at all levels.
However, this position cannot be said to be light-hearted, after all, this is already in contact with the core affairs of the imperial court. When Yue Luoning was young, Yueshan asked her to be a Shang Shulang in order to train her.
And Yang Jie's grandson Yang You, although he is now the secretary of the criminal department, he also worked as a scholar in the past.
In terms of talent, the third son of King Wenkang is indeed overkill. King Wenkang does not have more than one son, and the princes of Qingchuan have worked hard to compete for the right to inherit the throne in the future.
Ying Fei knew very well that the third prince of the former dynasty of Qingchuan was the most loved by the king of Qingchuan back then, and he was not a simple person.
Yue Luoning doesn't care if he promotes others, he really can't understand it when he promotes this one.
This kind of thing, you can't just look at talent, right?
King Wenkang's family, now many ministers and nobles dare not get too close, what is the reason? Isn't it because of their previous identity that they are afraid of being involved by them?
This kind of surrendered royal family members, in the new dynasty, the status is often not as good as their previous ministers, and it is the best destination to be a comfortable prince.
Their lives, in fact, were just in the thought of the new king, and after a long time, after the situation stabilized, it was not uncommon for them to be executed under an excuse.
The simple reason is that will they be loyal to the enemies who have destroyed their kingdom, and will they willingly go from being kings on high to living by the nose of others?
Even if they say yes, who would dare to believe them? Even if they don't seem to do anything on the surface, there will be people who suspect that they will do something in secret.
For thousands of years, it is not uncommon for the surrendered royal family to pretend to take refuge and eventually rebel. Because of this, the ministers of the Moon Kingdom dared to trust the surrendered Qingchuan Qianlan ministers, but they did not dare to get close to the people of the two royal families, because they were afraid of setting themselves on fire.
Now that he is close to King Wenkang and another King Wenrui, who knows if he will become a thorn in the side of the Moon King because of this?
It would be good if Yue Luoning could treat them well, and it might be understandable to give them a painless vacant title. Recruiting into Shangshutai, it would be too abnormal.
Ying Fei was even sure that the third prince of King Wenkang was deliberately approaching Hua Susu. As for the purpose, he couldn't say for the time being.
Yue Luoning was not a foolish person, how could she make such a decision?
Facing his questioning gaze, Yue Luoning's reply was very intriguing.
"My younger brother went to visit Princess Suning again this time, didn't he? Her status in my brother's mind is really not ordinary. ”
"However, this kind of thing can't be a joke. I believe that even His Royal Highness the Northern King himself will not promote the people of the Wenkang Royal Mansion because of Princess Suning. ”
Yue Luoning smiled: "It's okay, a Shang Shulang can't turn the sky upside down, as long as our Princess Suning is satisfied." (To be continued.) )
