"It's out, it's out, it's out!"

The Foreign Affairs Office of the Propaganda Department, a hurried voice rushed in.

A small official panted and lay on the door, shouting anxiously: "The main charter of the Westward Advance has come out." ”

Hear the words.

A middle-aged man who looked like a scholar greeted him, and hurriedly asked, "What is the specific content discussed, hurry up, let's hear it." ”

"Ovary, don't be in a hurry." The stout Chun Yuyue also walked over quickly, saying that he was not in a hurry, but his eyes quickly fell on the little official, and asked: "Tell me quickly, what did you say about the westward discussion." ”

Don't blame him for being in a hurry.

The westward expansion can be said to tug at everyone's heartstrings.

Especially after understanding the ins and outs of the whole incident, it made them even more anxious about the decision to move westward.

In their opinion.

The westward expansion was an important means for the imperial court to divert the attention of the nobles and adjust the contradictions with the nobles.

Whether Xungui can settle down, have a sense of belonging to Great Qin, and support the Ying court is related to whether the Great Qin world can stabilize.

There are too many things to say about the common people in the Confucian classics.

It's just that there are very few descriptions of those who are really in power.

Because.

Confucianism did not dare to write at all, and did not dare to get deeply involved in the terrible interests of the family, the nobles, the nobles, and the wealthy.

He knew this all too well.

And this means the importance of this westward expansion.

"Back to the priest." The little official panted and said: "At this meeting, the prison country proposed three no restrictions and three prohibitions. ”

"Which three are not restricted, and which three are prohibited?" Zhang Liang seemed to be very anxious and asked.

The little official glanced at the young man next to the propagandist, although he was dissatisfied that this person was just a township propagandist, and he was sitting in the office in a dignified manner, but he still replied happily:

"There is no restriction on the territory under control, the territory of operation, and the territory of occupation."

"There is no restriction on the expansion of hell and no restriction on the means and ends."

"It is forbidden to engage in any form of private fighting, to prohibit any form of outflow of gold, silver and copper, and to prohibit the establishment of vassal states."

After the little official finished speaking in one breath, Zhang Liang groaned and began to ponder repeatedly.

But Chun Yuyue, said quickly: "This is to let Xungui establish his own territory in a foreign land, the court is so determined, although it is not a feud, but it is like a feud." ”

Suddenly, Chun Yuyue reacted, hurriedly patted the shoulder of the little official, wiped out a piece of copper coins from the cuffs and said: "Fortunately, fortunately, sit down quickly and say slowly." ”

"Master Xie Sizheng." The little official didn't even see the expression of refusal, so he stuffed the copper coin into his sleeve, followed Chun Yuyue in, and said, "Regarding these three no restrictions, three prohibitions." ”

"The prison country also explained a lot, and I can't remember the specific small ones, but the prison country emphasized one thing, whether it is a territory or an occupation of territory, people in foreign lands cannot collect taxes."

"I see!" Chun Yuyue suddenly realized, and continued to ask: "Then what else, what else has been agreed?" ”

"It's too much, I don't dare to hide Si Zheng, this westward expansion deliberation started from the end of the Chen, and it didn't end until the end of Shen, a full four hours, and there was no rest for half a minute in between."

"Among them, there are not only the resolutions of the prison country, but also the resolutions of the ministers of the three princes and nine secretaries, and after the resolution, many nobles also asked questions about the westward expansion, whether it was the prison country or the ministers, they all answered the questions one by one."

"It can be said that all the details of the westward expansion are clearly and clearly."

"On the whole, the ministers have made decision-making decrees on the westward expansion."

"Among them, such as Zhang Gong, he decided to allow foreign darts to mine minerals by themselves, but they ...... gold, silver and copper."

The little official's mouth was dry.

Finally, the general matter of the entire westward expansion agenda was clarified.

Nothing was hidden either.

Since the benefits have been received, and this matter is not illegal, it is natural to remember as much as you want.

Especially.

There are many miscellaneous officials like him in the Dalu Mansion, and they are all memories of pricking up their ears and working hard.

Though.

The imperial court did not intend to conceal the fact that they allowed petty officials like them to enter the Great Law Mansion, and even said that after this deliberation was over, the resolution on the matter of westward expansion would be announced tomorrow.

But just like Chun Yuyue, an important minister who cares closely about the proceedings and wants to know the content as soon as possible, this is why they come to inform the nobles of the situation as soon as they collect a little money.

Merely.

Chun Yuyue is a generous person, and he just gives a little more.

"Thank you very much!" Chun Yuyue sincerely thanks.

Although he would know the news tomorrow, he still paid for it.

In Daqin, the most difficult to penetrate the palace of the secretary of state is the Langzhong Decree Mansion, which controls the core affairs of the Great Qin, records the content of large and small deliberations including the deliberations of the first emperor's inner court, records all the political content above the court, records the confidential secret documents of the various ministers' mansions, and at the same time, it is also the place where the first emperor's decrees and edicts are issued.

And this little official is an insignificant little official in Lang Zhongling's mansion, who does some trivial things and has no authority.

However, being in the Langzhong Mansion, its value is not comparable to that of other officials in the Minister's Mansion.

Just like this westward expansion meeting, in addition to the lord of the nobles, the chamberlain, and the three dukes and nine secretaries, only the Lang Zhongling Mansion participated.

And because everything is complicated and requires a lot of manpower, Lang Zhongling has insufficient core officials, so he has all the small officials under his command to the agenda.

Sent away the little official.

Chun Yuyue set his eyes on Tang You, Jiang Fu, Lin Tian, and Feng Xiaotian.

"How?" Chun Yuyue asked with a smile, and took the lead in saying: "It can be seen that the imperial court has made up its mind to go west this time. ”

"Although there are various restrictions on the westward expansion, Hexi and the Western Regions are still a huge piece of fat, especially for the nobles, the decrees of the imperial court are still extremely beneficial to the nobles."

"It is no exaggeration to say that it is the imperial court that opens the way in the front, and the nobles earn benefits in the back."

Chun Yuyue can be said to be very explicit, but although the Propaganda Department has its own entanglements, as Chun Yuyue's status gradually improves, the voice in the Propaganda Department has gradually increased.

Even Tang You and Jiang Fu have no obvious objections on the side matters.

And.

There is nothing wrong with such a conclusion.

"It can be seen that the imperial court attaches great importance to the westward expansion this time, if it were not for this, many nobles and nobles would not have raised so many doubts, and this is precisely because of the importance of the imperial court, so we must ask clearly." Tang You also nodded yes, and quickly came to his own conclusions.

"From this point of view, in the future, the focus of the imperial court will be Hexi and the Western Regions!" Jiang Fu couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Opening up the territory is the lifelong dream of every hero. ”

Listen to the summary of several people.

Zhang Liang couldn't help frowning.

Although the little official did not explain the process of going west clearly, the key was to make it clear, which made him hesitate to say it in front of Tang You and Jiang Fu.

In fact, he did not agree with the conclusions of the three people, or rather, they were very different and completely different.

"What's wrong with the ovary, why is it like this?" Tang You also had a certain understanding of Zhang Liang, and when he saw that Zhang Liang's face was wrong, he asked.

was noticed by Tang You, and everyone's eyes also fell on Zhang Liang.

"This!" Seeing this, Zhang Liang hesitated slightly, quickly calculated in his heart, and said: "Xiaguan and several adults have completely different conclusions, but I don't know whether to talk about it or not. ”

"What is this, the ovary has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, I'll wait and listen, after all, the court has already made a decision, and we are just talking about the government, and there is nothing to talk about." Jiang Fu seemed to admire Zhang Liang and said: "Besides, the ovary has proved that your understanding of the imperial court is even better than ours." ”

"Something to say!" Chun Yuyue also frowned slightly.

can make Zhang Liang say something very different, he doesn't know how their understanding deviates from Zhang Liang.

】

"Yes, Brother Zifang, your opinion is still very positive." Lin Tian and Feng Xiaotian on the side couldn't help but say.

Arguably.

The two of them were quite convinced of Zhang Liang at this time.

"The ovary is foolish, and it is not credible." Zhang Liang had already thought it through, and first gave himself a thorough explanation, and then said: "Actually, Liang believes that the imperial court does not attach importance to the matter of westward expansion, and even wants to give up westward expansion, at least for ten years, Liang thinks that the imperial court will never launch a large-scale war against Hexi." ”

"At least the Western Expeditionary Army, in Liang's view, is the master of defense, supplemented by offense, rather than as the imperial court said, to look at the Western Regions."

Zhang Liang's voice just fell.

“？？？”

“？？？”

Tang You, Jiang Fu, Lin Tian, and Feng Xiaotian looked at Zhang Liang with stunned expressions.

Even Chun Yuyue, if he hadn't believed in Zhang Liang's talent, he would have looked at Zhang Liang in disbelief at this time, but even so, Chun Yuyue still frowned, and took the lead in asking in disbelief: "Why is this, what is the basis for the ovary to say such a conclusion?" ”

No way.

He also has to cover for Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang is currently the most suitable successor to be a Confucian leader.

He is already old and can't stand the tiredness and rush, and in the future, he feels that Zhang Liang can pick up the banner of Confucianism, or even do it better than him.

At this time, instead of letting Zhang Liang be suspicious of Tang You and Jiang Fu, it was better for him to ask questions and let Zhang Liang explain.

After all.

It was not easy for Zhang Hao to learn from Tang You and Jiang Fu with his real talent.

This remark cannot be wiped out.

Tang You and Jiang Fu glanced at Chun Yuyue sideways, and also understood Chun Yuyue's protection, so they stopped asking and waited for Zhang Liang to explain.

It's just that Zhang Liang's remarks are quite different.

I really don't understand how this statement came about.

Zhang Liang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Actually, in Liang's opinion, the more the imperial court regulates the westward expansion, the more it shows that the imperial court does not care about the westward expansion. ”

"It can be said that this time, the proposal of westward expansion will be discussed in the specific regulations of the westward expansion, at least in five years, there will be no signs of major changes in the regulations, and the supervising country has also said that within ten years, tariffs will not be charged."

"Tariffs are a very important turning point."

Saying that, Zhang Liang paused, glanced at the expressions of several people, and continued: "I don't know how many adults can perceive it, although it is said that the imperial court has prepared for the Western Expeditionary Army, the Westward Advance Foreign Affairs Department and many other departments. ”

"But it is not clear, and it is not clear about the use of troops in Hexi, nor is it said how to cooperate with the imperial court to use troops, but it is only stated that deterrence is carried out by force."

"I think that the intention of deterrence is the intention of Chen Bing to take the enemy, not to take the initiative to attack."

"That is to say, for a long time to come, the imperial court will be to diplomacy with deterrence, not with offense, and there is a big difference between the two."

"Secondly, when the imperial court decided to go west, Liang thought that the imperial court attached great importance to the affairs of the Western Regions, but after this discussion, Liang changed his opinion."

"I don't know if you have noticed it, the main force of the westward expansion is the dart line, which is a dart line formed by Xungui, and the imperial court gives grain, grass and weapons, and allows Xungui to recruit warriors, but in fact, this is the imperial court dumping the westward expansion to Xungui to do."

"And the reason why Liang really feels that the imperial court does not attach importance to the westward expansion is because the imperial court has made too many regulations on the westward expansion, as if the Western Regions are already a chopping block, but in fact, the current control of the imperial court over Hexi is almost zero."

"Under such conditions, how dare the imperial court make rules for westward expansion."

"There is only one possibility, for a long time to come, the imperial court does not want to do too much about the westward expansion."

"That is, there are three no restrictions, or in other words, it is to let Xungui go to the front station, to say something unpleasant, the imperial court will use Xungui as a gunman, and lay the foundation for the imperial court to use troops in Hexi."

"Once Xungui's attention is all on the matter of westward expansion, you may wish to think about whether the imperial court can knead at will within the territory, and even Xungui will take the initiative to back down on other matters and implement the so-called strategic shift."

"By the time the honors are almost completed, the imperial court is in the territory and has already completed the layout, and then it will be a lot of success to use troops against the west."

"Besides, in the current state of Daqin, how can it be possible to focus on political affairs to the west, you must know that the current Daqin is still at the time of changing the law, and this is just the beginning, at this time, all political affairs must revolve around the change of the law, no matter what kind of decree, its ultimate purpose is to make the reform more smoothly promoted."

Zhang Liang finished dryly.

Seriously.

Even he himself didn't dare to think in this direction.

Even such conjectures he dare not say.

It's just that.

The current propaganda department needs a dose of medicine to glue the inside more tightly.

And such conjectures.

It's the adhesive.

Regardless of whether such conjecture was the true intention of the imperial court, Tang You and Jiang Fu did not dare to say more.

And when people become more intimate, it actually starts with having a common secret.

Be quiet.

As Zhang Liang's voice landed, the entire room became extremely quiet.

Tang You and Jiang Fu are also not ordinary people, otherwise they would not have been sent by Li Si and Feng Quji to the Propaganda Division to balance Confucianism.

That's why.

When Zhang Liang explained clearly, they couldn't help but tremble.

If.

If.

What Zhang Liang said is true, then this will be the imperial court standing on the height of the clouds to formulate a political strategy, and the nobles of the world and even the people of the world will plan it.

Hexi, the Western Regions, there are countless meats waiting to be taken, and when people all over the world hear about it, how can they not be longed for by everyone.

But once such a situation is formed.

Within Great Qin, the speed at which the imperial court implements the law change will be extremely stable.

There is a piece of meat and an egg, as long as it is an individual, it will choose meat and give up eggs.

And this.

Perhaps this is the real purpose of the westward expansion.

"Zhou Yi said, he is a boy, he lost his husband, he can get it whenever he wants, and he will live in chastity. If it is really as the ovary said, the stakes in this are not negotiable, and after returning home, I will keep my mouth shut, strive to forget about this matter, and never say a word. ”

Jiang Fu stared at Zhang Liang dullly, unable to calm down for a long time.

After a while, Jiang Fu said: "The ovary deigns to the township, it is really condescending, if there is a chance, the official will raise the ovary to reuse, so as to live up to the hardships of hard study." ”
