Chapter 1047: The two kingdoms of Liao and Ning merged
Wu Di took the tiger talisman that Wu Hong returned to him, and silently returned to the palace of the Liao king.
He suspected that he was living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
Wu Hong, the king of Ning, really didn't have the intention of usurping the Liao State.
Is there such a selfless person in this world?
Wu Di was a little skeptical about life for a while.
"Shizi, Lord Xiangbang asks to see you."
"Let him in."
"No!"
After a while, Tian Wen, the prime minister of Liao, slowly entered the palace and sat opposite Wu Di.
For Tian Wen, Wu Zhang, Wu Di, father and son, still rely on it very much.
Tian Wen was born in the Hedong Tian clan, the predecessor of the Hedong Tian clan was the Qi Guo Tian clan, and later Tian Heng, the head of the Tian family who was appointed as the official Qi Xiang, instigated the king of Qi to surrender to Wu and made great contributions, so Qingji let Tian Heng become the county guard of Hedong County for a term.
With such a family background, the Tian family's family power is still not weak.
In Dawu itself, it can be regarded as a real famous family.
Tian Wen is the son of Tian Qi and the younger brother of Tian Heng, who followed Wu Zhang to the country in Liao in his early years, was entrusted with important tasks, promoted all the way, and worshiped the state of Liao.
"Shizi, is King Ning willing to hand over his military power?"
Tian Wen asked.
"It's a talisman."
Wu Di took out the talisman and put it on the eucalyptus, shook his head, and said with emotion: "Xiangbang, I still can't see through this uncle." ”
"This talisman was handed over by King Ning himself, not what I wanted."
"Xiangbang, do you say that there are really such selfless people in this world?"
Hearing this, Tian Wen smiled slightly and said, "Shizi, this is very good." ”
"His Royal Highness King Ning is a person, and the old minister also knows a little bit about it."
"King Ning became famous at a young age, and since he was a child, he has studied with sages such as Yan Ying, Kong Qiu, and Ji Zi, admired the way of the ancient sages, and he also has the legacy of ancient gentlemen."
"When he was still the prince of Wu Guo, he was deeply favored and reused by His Majesty today, and he was very prestigious in the government and the opposition, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was inferior."
"Facts have proved that King Ning is indeed talented, Yunwen Yunwu, whether it is governing the country and the country, or leading troops to fight, he is a leader."
"It's a pity that he is not His Majesty's eldest son, but a concubine, otherwise, King Ning would have been His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of my Great Wu."
Wu Di bowed slightly.
Obviously, he has also heard a little about Wu Hong's deeds.
Wu Hong can be described as a saint in the Great Wu royal family.
His personality is almost impeccable.
Tian Wen's eyes rolled for a moment, and he suddenly said to Wu Di: "Shizi, the old minister has a word, I don't know if I should say it or not?" ”
"Please."
"In the past ten years, under the governance of King Ning, the country of Ning has been governed by great politics and religion, the government is clear, and the national strength is very strong, which is not much worse than the counties of the Central Plains."
Tian Wen said meaningfully: "Ningguo has a large population, fertile land, prosperous culture, and a rich economy. ”
"This is the foundation of the unique kingship. If Liao and Ning merge, their territory is thousands of miles long, there are more than 2 million, and hundreds of thousands of people with armor can directly claim the title of emperor in the future, establish a new dynasty, and fight against the Great Wu Division......"
"No, maybe my Da Liao can directly enter the Central Plains, become the lord of the world, become the Zhengshuo of Dawu, and the Zhengshuo of Huaxia!"
"This ......"
Tian Wen's words made Wu Di can't help but be moved.
are all descendants of the first emperor, why can Wu Heng inherit the throne, while Wu Zhang can only be a vassal king?
You must know that Wu Zhang and Wu Heng are compatriots of the same mother, and they are both Qingji's sons-in-law......
"Nope."
Wu Di shook his head and said, "Xiangbang, no matter what, the empire will not allow the merger of Liao and Ning. ”
"My imperial grandfather would not allow this to happen. Besides, Ning's national strength is strong, although it is not as strong as our Liao's soldiers, but it is better than our Liao's in other aspects. ”
"With King Ning here, Ningguo is united, even if I am an iron rider of Liaoguo, I can't touch an inch of land in Ningguo."
"What's more, this uncle of mine has worked tirelessly for my Liao country in the past two years, enduring the Liao expedition, supervising the military, expanding the territory, and has a very high prestige, even I am ashamed of myself."
"He is not only loved by the Ning people, but also by my Liao people."
"Who dares to do anything to King Ning? Who would dare to do anything to Ning Guo? ”
"Also, Xiangbang, do you think the Great Wu Border Army is a vegetarian?"
"Maybe as soon as my Liao army moves, the imperial court will send a counterinsurgency army, and when my Liao clan loses the country, how can I explain to my father who is stationed in the west?"
“……”
Tian Wen thought for a while, and secretly said that Wu Di was not easy to fool.
However, this is not difficult for Tian Wen.
Tian Wen immediately came up with a way for Wu Di.
"Shizi, since the way of the soldier is not good, why don't you take the royal road?"
"The royal road?"
"Not bad. It is naturally inappropriate to seek Ningguo by means of war. However, don't forget, King Ning is still in Gaoping now, and he is still in my Liao country. ”
Tian Wen smiled sadly: "King Ning's reputation in Ning and Liao is extremely high, which is his advantage and his disadvantage. ”
"The prince can force King Ning to make a letter of state, so that the two countries of Liaoning will be merged, and King Ning will be demoted to the Duke of Ningguo, or the Marquis of Ning, hereditary replacement."
"In this way, Ningdi is owned by the Liao State, this is a peaceful coup."
"Dawu's side couldn't react, and in the end he could only reluctantly admit the fait accompli of the merger of the two countries in Liaoning."
"Even if His Majesty the First Emperor is furious and sends troops to levy, our Liao army can rely on thousands of miles of wilderness to mediate with the Wu army, and the empire's army can fight for a few years?"
"It's no longer the case. At that time, the king was ordered to go to the country, with 10,000 elite soldiers, and his family of 50,000 or 60,000 people, within a few years, he conquered Sushen, Donghu, Zhanqi and other northeastern Hu, and established a powerful Liao State. ”
"The Liao State is different from those scattered and blood-drinking Hu tribes."
"In addition, the country is strong, and it belongs to the Ning country, which is a land of ointment."
"It's not impossible to fight against the Great Wu Division."
"After a long time, Your Majesty will have to compromise."
"As for Ning Guo's side, if King Ning is in hand, they won't dare to act rashly......"
"Shut up!"
Wu Di scolded, frowned and said: "Tian Xiang, what you said is too rebellious, I haven't heard it today, so there is no need to say more." ”
"No."
Tian Wen glanced at Wu Di meaningfully, and finally didn't say anything more.
He knew that Wu Di, like his father Wu Zhang, had great ambitions.
It's just that in the lifetime of Qingji, they don't dare to act rashly.
Not to mention anything else, the vast majority of the courtiers and officials in power in the Liao State were Wu people like Tian Wen, and they knew how powerful Qingji was.
Under Qingji's rule, even if the two countries of Liaoning merge and seek self-reliance, if Qingji wants to send troops to quell the rebellion, it will not be too difficult.
