Chapter 257: Emperor Wu's Ambition

"Your Majesty's masterpiece, the order is like a plug..."

"Your Majesty, the minister must be loyal to the country with this remnant..."

"Your Majesty...."

“.....”

Many scholars frantically slapped the dragon's fart.

In front of Guo Tianyi, the "poet immortal" of the literary copyist, the poems they originally wanted to take out and chant suddenly lost their meaning.

Even if someone thinks their poems are wonderful, they don't dare to show them?

If you accidentally anger the Son of Heaven, how will you live in the future?

Today, the students have also seen the talent of the Son of Heaven.

They represent the highest level of the students who participated in the scientific examination this time, but everyone admires Guo Tianyi so much.

The talent of the Son of Heaven is not blown out.

The other side.

The imperial capital of Wu, Tianlong City.

"Report!"

"Your Majesty, I, Ying Ninghou, have sent an urgent military situation..."

Wu Huang Wu Qiming was watching the ministers' recitals in the study, and a chamberlain came with a secret letter and said nervously.

The emergency military situation is such a thing, and the chamberlains know that it is not trivial.

"Oh?"

"Could it be that the Marquis of Yingning is fighting with the Han people again?"

Wu Qiming frowned and tore open the sealed letter.

Now.

The noble class of the state of Wu also popularized the blank paper.

As for the people, they cannot afford it.

These blank papers were all bought from Dafeng.

Cheap white paper in Dabong is sold to them several times more expensive.

But this does not affect the large number of purchases made by the Wu royal family.

Since the nobles of Wu discovered the benefits of white paper, they have become accustomed to white paper and gradually began to eliminate bamboo slips.

Wu Guo is basically following the example of Dafeng.

Whether it is language, culture, etc., including the countries of the Western Regions, they all understand Chinese.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Guo Tianyi to communicate with Yarman, a merchant in Guishan.

Wu Qiming read the letter, his brows furrowed.

In the southern steppe, horse bandits with a size of 10,000 people appeared, attacking several tribes in the south...

Moreover, the combat effectiveness of these horse bandits is extremely strong, and they ask themselves to recruit some elite people to the past...

"Rubbish!"

When Wu Qiming saw this, he scolded angrily.

For a while, the attendants in the study trembled, and no one dared to speak.

"This is the Han people taking revenge."

"Return the horse bandits?"

"Could it be that the tens of thousands of troops of his Ying Ninghou are all eating?"

Emperor Wu suddenly became angry in his heart, and greeted Ying Ninghou countless times.

The current political situation of the state of Wu is the same as that of the previous Dafeng, and it is also divided into many vassal kings and princes.

This set of political systems is still learned from the previous dynasty before Dafeng.

The difference is that the centralization of the state of Wu is very strong.

Because Emperor Wu had the most elite army of 500,000 in his hands.

In addition, most of the places here are grasslands, and most of the 500,000 troops are cavalry, and the cavalry can rush everywhere in a day.

Another point is that these princes who guard everywhere are basically in Tianlong City.

Therefore, Emperor Wu's power is still relatively centralized.

This is also the result of Emperor Wu's reforms over the years.

Not only did it greatly strengthen the centralization of power, but also controlled several small countries around it, just like Dafeng controlled the Nanyi countries, creating very good economic conditions for itself.

"Li Long's house is still on guard against Ross in the Northern Regions."

"The Han people suffered a big loss in the south before, and it is normal to have such revenge."

"It's just..."

"Why are the Han people so proactive?"

Emperor Wu pondered his international relations with Dafeng in his heart, and couldn't help but think of a lot.

The war with the Rus Empire cost Wu a great deal of money, so he needed to recuperate.

But there are some tribes on the other side of the territory, and he also turns a blind eye to such things as going to the territory of the Han people to fight the autumn wind.

As long as there are no large-scale conflicts, it is nothing.

But.

The Han people never took the initiative to enter their territory, right?

The horse bandits of unknown origin must have been pretended to be Han Chinese.

And there was also a message that made Emperor Wu very annoyed.

The combat effectiveness of the Han army seems to be much stronger than before.

If it weren't for the fact that the Rus Empire and its own Wu Kingdom suddenly clashed over regional issues, how could it have been possible to reconcile with Dafeng last year?

Besides, he also took one of Utina's daughters in.

The purpose is to create a time for development.

"Tell the prime minister..."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

In the following hour, Emperor Wu discussed with the prime minister in his study about the issues between the two countries.

Wu Qiming frowned and said, "You say, the Han people are holding the imperial examination? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Prime Minister Wu Guocheng spoke up, "According to the report from the spies, the young emperor of Dafeng not only alleviated the contradictions between the various schools of Dafeng, but also made the scholars of the world return to their hearts, and this imperial examination was held extremely perfectly..."

"Awesome."

"This imperial examination is really a good thing, isn't it?"

"It seems that we need to learn from it..."

Wu Qiming touched his chin, and he had the idea of copying and learning again.

In fact, there is no shame in thinking like this.

Their Wu State has always learned from the Han people in the East, and it has become a tradition.

It's just that no matter how they learn, they can't learn the thoughts of the Han people, and their thinking is still more biased towards Westerners.

This is determined by geopolitical issues.

Dabong is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and there are not many foreign enemies by nature.

And they are different.

If they hadn't fought year after year, they would have been divided up a long time ago.

If it weren't for that, they wouldn't have had a strong cavalry.

The previous 300,000 elite defeats of Dafeng were defeated by the cavalry.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the Han people are preparing for war." The prime minister continued, "We can study the imperial examination, but we must also be careful of the Han Chinese..."

Both countries have their own spies.

There are Wu people who fled from the famine here in Dafeng, and they have settled down in Dafeng, and some of them are spies.

And on the Wu side, there are also Dabong intelligence officers who secretly investigate intelligence.

There are also some people from Dafeng, because of a crime, or some special reasons, they ran away to Wu State.

Of course, there are also some scholars who came to Wu because they couldn't resist the temptation of high-ranking officials.

The spy work between countries has never stopped.

"Humph!"

"It is expected that he Guo Tianyi will not be able to start a war with my Wu State in a short period of time."

"I, the cavalry of the Wu State are hundreds of thousands, and we can reach everywhere around the national border of Dafeng in one day, what will they do to fight us?"

"If it weren't for the abominable Rus', I would have annexed the northern part of Dafeng long ago."

Wu Qiming slammed his fist on the dragon case and said indignantly.

Then, Wu Qiming seemed to think of something, and said, "Send Zang Bing to envoy Dafeng, go and investigate Dafeng's information, and by the way, see if my daughter is pregnant..."

If Utina is pregnant with a dragon.

It is also possible to ascend to the throne in the future.

After all, he has half of his own blood in his bones.

It would be great if it did.

It doesn't take much effort to take down Daebon.

From the very beginning of his decision to marry his daughter, Emperor Wu had such a crazy idea.

The status of women in the state of Wu was originally low.

In some tribes, women are more like objects, and even sons can inherit all the women of their father except their own mother after Lao Tzu's death.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Prime Minister Wu smiled, and he also understood Emperor Wu's thoughts.
