Sun Ning's gaze swept over the three people in front of him again: "Take the three of you as an example, Shen Zhou was used by me as a white ding, Xiao Xiang has a relative, as for Guo Chong, you simply have a father-son and brotherly relationship with Guo Yan and Guo Han."

"According to common sense, none of your courts is useful, let alone relying on them as henchmen. But don't I still use it, and it's a big use?

"Speaking of your own, will you be disloyal to me and have other thoughts because of your background and other reasons?"

"Naturally not!" The three of them spoke almost in unison.

"That's it, I can trust you, how can you not have faith in yourself?" Sun Ning smiled, "Xiao Xiang, you have always dared not contradict the courtiers because of this, and you will cooperate with many people, and you will not be offended if you can."

"At best, this is called being kind to others, and at worst, you are appeasement!

"These things have passed in the past, and I will not do anything to pursue them again. However, in the future, you must take today's events as a warning, and you must not be used by others to do things that damage the court and the relationship between my monarch and ministers!

"Otherwise, even if there is Qian'er and there are enemies who are defeating them, I can only do business to you, and I will never tolerate it!"

Xiao Changyong was suddenly excited, and then immediately saluted and said: "Your Majesty's words, every word of the minister is remembered in my heart, and I dare not forget it." The minister will not make this mistake again in the future, and please Your Majesty, please two adults to watch the aftermath! ”

"Okay, with your words, I'm relieved."

Sun Ning was satisfied with the case and said: "Then let you and my monarchs and ministers agree on this, from now on, we will work together, lead the ministers internally, and use troops externally, unify the world as soon as possible, and return to the prosperous appearance of Dayue!" ”

"Your Majesty will do your best to help Your Majesty achieve this wish!" The three of them hurriedly knelt down again, and at the same time replied loudly, showing their attitude clearly.

Sun Ning laughed with satisfaction, nodded slightly, and Wei Shen stepped forward on his behalf, helping the three important ministers up one by one, and then exerting each other's efforts.

At this time, he didn't have to hide it anymore, and looked directly at Guo Chong: "There are two more things next, let's just give it now."

"This first thing is related to the current matter, in addition to those five people, these officials today are acting like this, naturally they have to be beaten and punished. Guo Chong, tell me, do you have anything to say? ”

The expressions of the other two changed slightly when they heard this, and they thought that this matter had been revealed.

But after thinking about it again, the two of them also understood, maybe the emperor really convicted dozens of courtiers for the sake of stability in the court. However, it is always necessary to pick out a few typical ones, so that they can be beaten and rectified.

In this way, other courtiers can understand what is superior and inferior, what can be done and what cannot be done.

As the so-called small punishment and big commandment, punishment before and after punishment, this is the truth.

The two people who understood this naturally would not speak out to dissuade them at this time, and Guo Chong quickly said after a little thought: "If you go back to Your Majesty, let Wuyisi take a few more as a warning."

"I don't dare to say anything else, I still know all the things that those guys do secretly. It is impossible to wronged them, and the time will definitely make the world obey. ”

"Okay, then I'll leave it all to you. It doesn't take much, as long as you take five or six leaders and make an example of the monkeys, it's enough. ”

As Guo Chong said yes again, the matter was finally completely settled. And Sun Ning once again entered the next thing: "Another thing that we need to decide as soon as possible is how to reduce the possible threat to us from the Pingtian Army in the north, because only in this way can we really free up our hands and make a series of arrangements on the southern coast first."

"And in this matter, I think that the strategy of discord proposed by Brother Wen Liangyu is quite practical, so it is better to settle it here."

"A strategy to divide the sky?" The two prime ministers were obviously a little dazed, they really didn't know that there was such a method, so they looked at Sun Ning.

Sun Ning didn't hide what they meant, and immediately told them carefully about the Wen brothers' mention of revealing the inside story of Kaifeng Qin Yude's agreement with the imperial court to Luoyang Zhao Guangxiao.

After saying this, Shen Zhou and Xiao Changyong were a little stunned when they heard this, and after a while, they looked at each other, and then said worriedly: "Is this method really feasible?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, just a few words, even if they know about them, can really make Zhao Guangxiao and the others convinced, and even make a decision to directly oppose Qin Yude?"

Sun Ning smiled: "This requires our good student arrangement." Guo Chong, are you prepared? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the Wuyi Division has already begun to make arrangements, and in the tenth month, this matter will be promoted to be known to them.

"However, this alone is obviously not enough, so we also need the cooperation of front-line military horses."

"I understand, you can rest assured of this, the imperial court will naturally help you Wuyisi to make this matter completely true."

Sun Ning said, he stood up, and came to the side wall of the hall in a few steps, where an extremely detailed topographical map of the entire territory of Dayue had been hung.

The three courtiers and Wei Shen hurriedly approached as well, and then watched him take a slender stick and put a little on the map: "This is Luoyang, and this is Xingyang, which is exactly one of the targets in Qin Yude's unreasonable conditions before."

"Since he brought it up, it naturally shows that he did covet this place, and I think Zhao Guangxiao should also know this intention.

"So it's easy to convince Zhao Guangxiao that Kaifeng has been attached to the imperial court, in addition to all the rumors we let them know, just give him another fact, a fact that the imperial court will really help Qin Yude and take down Xingyang!"

In the end, he snapped hard and slapped on the map, where Xingyang City was located.

"Your Majesty really wants to use troops against Xingyang? But the strength of this city is not under Kaifeng......" Xiao Changyong said vaguely, if this is the case, it is really better to go directly to open the seal.

"Of course it's not a real fight, the price is too great, and the consequences are unpredictable." Sun Ning smiled, "It's just a posture, as long as they believe that I will send troops to Xingyang, and then cause the two sides to attack each other, it is enough." ”

As he spoke, the stick in his hand fell down again and pointed to the two small cities below: "For example, if we release the soldiers and horses in the Liangzhou area to Yicheng and Xingcheng, do you think they will have other thoughts?" ”

The expressions of several courtiers were all moved, these two cities are indeed inconspicuous in the Central Plains, and they are not big, and they are not even geographically important.

However, it has a rather ingenious position, that is, it is exactly one left and one right, and Xingyang is wrapped in.

As long as the troops are really stationed in these two counties, I am afraid that more than eighty percent of the people in the world will think that this is the prelude to the fight against Xingyang!

Some people died, but not completely......
