……

The next moment, Yao Zhong immediately came out: "Your Majesty, the minister earnestly requests that a sum of money be sent to all parts of Jingzhou, and the war with Chu will be stopped, and the local people are in urgent need of restoring their livelihood, I hope Your Majesty will grant permission." ”

As soon as these words came out, the six Shangshu squinted their eyes in unison.

Big brother, what is being discussed now is whether or not to support Bai Qixi's expedition to Guishuang, not the time to talk about people's livelihood, your transition is really too unacceptable, and I don't blame you for being so excluded in the previous dynasty.

Liu Ce said with a smile: "Yao Yushi, I remember that in the past two years in Jingzhou, the imperial court seems to have been distributing money and grain on time to restore people's livelihood.

Now that the war with the puppet Chu has been over for a while, I haven't heard that Wu Zhenying's performance has mentioned what the local people lack.

I don't know why Yao Yushi mentioned asking the imperial court to allocate funds to all parts of Jingzhou? ”

Yao Zhong replied: "Your Majesty, the so-called not suffering from widowhood but suffering from unevenness, the world since the late years of the previous dynasty, the people have withered and suffered, and now it is difficult for the people to see the hope of life, so they naturally want to be more kind.

His Majesty will send an additional 4 million silver dollars to Jingzhou this year to repair and strengthen the broken official roads in the lower rivers and towns, so that the people can feel the benefits brought by the new dynasty. ”

As soon as the words fell, Xu Wenjing was the first to object: "Although Yao Yushi's words are not bad, but although the treasury of our dynasty is full at the moment, these money and grain are not blown by the wind.

At present, Guishan is openly provoking the prestige of our country, how can he swallow his anger? The minister thinks that there is a hurry in everything, first break the frost, and then appease the people of the world.

If you allow Kushan to be a disaster for your neighbors, this move is tantamount to humiliating the national dignity! Please Your Majesty Holy Judge, order Bai Qi to send troops to Guishuang to strengthen the country's prestige! ”

Obviously, Xu Wenjing advocated the annexation of Guishan and strongly supported Bai Qi's expedition to the west.

And his statement also made the ministers talk a lot, some for it, some against, and some were silent.

After all, as the first strategist to follow Liu Ce, Xu Wenjing has made great achievements, and there are few officials here who can replace his weight in Liu Ce's mind.

What's more, Qin Mo and Ye Bin also support the use of troops against Guishan, as for Fa Ji and Yang Sicheng, they don't say anything about it, although the official Shangshu Ram Gao has no name, he privately expresses his support for Bai Qi.

In this way, this western expedition is actually a certainty and basically cannot be changed.

Faced with the ambiguous attitude of the important ministers of the court, Yao Zhong felt that he was very "aggrieved" and "sad".

Why doesn't anyone say a word to themselves?

At the critical moment, Liu Ce spoke: "Okay, Yao Yushi, you go back to the list first, not only Jingzhou, but the people of the rest of the states will be treated equally.

But what Xu Shangshu said is right, at present, I have not long been established in the dynasty, and in the face of provocation and harassment by foreign enemies, if I do not severely punish him, it will be an insult to the national dignity.

I have been operating in the Western Regions for all these years, and I have finally made the local people have a trace of the idea of belonging, how can I give up all my previous achievements?

Therefore, it is imperative to use troops against Guishan, and this battle will fight my Han national prestige! Don't you hear that the First World War can be peaceful for 30 years?

Even if it is for the sake of our hundreds of millions of people in China to live and work in peace and contentment, this battle must be fought, do you want to leave the second Mengluo Empire for future generations? ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

When the officials heard this, they returned the salute in unison.

Yes, it is now the Han Dynasty, neither military strength nor national strength can be compared with the previous dynasty, and the little Guishuang is like a clown who jumps off the beam and dares to fight the tiger? Then it's also in color.

Many officials also expressed from the bottom of their hearts that they would abandon all the styles of those corpses in the previous dynasty and integrate into this new court as soon as possible.

……

In the fourth year of Xuanwu, on the third day of the first month, the Western Regions was the protectorate.

"Zhuge Shilang, Lord Wang, please come in quickly, I really let Bai wait."

After several months of travel, Zhuge Zhi finally arrived at the Western Regions Protectorate and successfully joined Bai Qi.

It is worth mentioning that there is another person who walks with Zhuge Zhi.

The former dynasty Huaiwang, Wei Ji.

This Ji is the only royal family of the previous dynasty that first followed Liu Ce, and he also made a lot of efforts when Liu Ce fought in the south and the north, so after the establishment of the Han Dynasty, he still maintained the throne and could come and go in the palace at will, which won Liu Ce's trust.

It's just that the reason why I want to follow Zhuge Zhi to the Western Regions this time is really not very glorious.

Wei Ji is afraid of the inside, and he likes money.

Because he was carrying the princess Shen Bi on his back, he got along with a singer outside, but he was bumped into by his son Wei Ye and told Shen Bi.

This time, the frightened Wei Ji hid in Liu Ce's side hall for a few days and didn't dare to leave the palace, and finally found an errand to go out to supervise the army, and then followed Zhuge Zhi to the Western Regions Protectorate.

Wei Ji still has a physique of more than 200 pounds, which is fatter than before.

Walking into the Duhu Mansion, Wei Ji directly found a place to sit down, crossed Erlang's legs, squinted his eyes and said, "General Bai, when will you go on the expedition?" This time, we can speak first,

This king doesn't care about anything, as long as he divides the work, he can prepare enough yellow and white things for this king to see. ”

Bai Qi said with a smile: "Lord Wang, your shares in the Far East Polo Stadium are enough for your family to squander, why bother to grab these credits from Bai again?" ”

Wei Ji hurriedly said: "General Bai, you are also here to laugh at this king, right?" It's not that you don't know that all the money that this king earned was greedy by my mother-in-law.

Now the money that this king can make in his hands is not much at all, what shares, real estate, but she is guarding it.

Alas, speaking of which, this king is really difficult, I thought that His Majesty had ascended the throne, and this life would be better, not to seek to be rich and rich, at least to be a rich man,

As a result, hey, it's all tears, don't mention it, don't mention it......"

As he spoke, Wei Ji pretended to roll up his sleeves to cover his face, pretending to be crying.

Zhuge Zhi shook his head and said to Bai Qi: "General Bai, you should know about the Mengluo people, right?" ”

Bai Qi Zhengse replied: "The last general already knows that the Mengluo Empire has fallen, and all parts of the Saiwai grassland have fallen apart, and now it is not enough to worry about the Han Dynasty, Huo Shuai is really a genius, and the last general admires it very much." ”

Zhuge Zhi shook the feather fan lightly: "General Bai doesn't need to be so humble, now that Guishan's atrocities have provoked the anger of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, Your Majesty is determined to give General Bai a severe punishment." ”

Bai Qi's pupils flashed: "Your Majesty has any clear instructions?" ”

Zhuge Zhi arched his hand and replied: "Your Majesty did not give clear instructions, before the official left, His Majesty only said one word to the official, the general will be outside, the king's order can not be granted, everything is left to General Bai's decision." ”

Bai Qi got up and paced back and forth in the palace hall for a while, then clenched his fists and looked at Zhuge Zhi: "Your Majesty means to ......"

Zhuge Zhi nodded: "Destroying the country is the supreme thing, and the most important thing is that it hurts its muscles and bones, and it is powerless to get involved in the Western Regions." ”

Bai Qi approached and asked: "The last general has already listened to some of the Guishuang Void and Reality, and after the sand table deduction, it is not difficult to destroy it, lest there be any changes in the Great Food, which will cause unexpected changes to the battle situation." ”

Zhuge Zhi smiled faintly: "This is the intention of His Majesty to let the lower officials come to the Western Regions to protect the Mansion. ”

"Oh? Zhuge Shilang, please speak clearly. ”

"General Bai only needs to lead the troops to the west, and the big food piece can be handed over to the lower officials, I can guarantee that the big food will not be able to take care of Guishuang!"

"General Zhuge doesn't walk with him?"

"General Bai's ability is sufficient, and it won't be helpful to go with him in the next place, please ask General Bai to allocate three hundred of my Western Regions armor soldiers."
