Mu Sheng was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Sir, don't dare to talk nonsense, the title of this prince has been decided, and I don't dare to think about it." ”

Wu Xie stroked his beard and said solemnly, "It's all the blood of His Majesty today, doesn't Gongzi want to fight for this destiny?" In the next is not talented, if the son has the heart to compete for the position, I Wu Xie dare not say that 100% can protect the son of the son, but I Wu is confident that there is no one in the world who is unsurpassed, this victory can still be done, the plan is in the people, the success is in the sky, I Wu only want to know the heart of the son today. ”

It seems that Wu Xie is testing whether he has the ambition to compete for the position.

Mu Sheng didn't doubt him after getting along for so long, and told him directly: "Since Mr. asked about this, then I will tell you the truth, to be honest, as long as it is His Majesty's bloodline, who has no ambition to fight for the destiny of heaven?" I don't dare to live with myself, wake up to the power of the world, drunk and lie on the knees of beautiful women, as long as there is a chance, who will refuse such a temptation? ”

"But I don't have any other advantages as a person, this self-knowledge is still there, not to mention that the name of this prince has been established for more than ten years, whether it is prestige or people's hearts, I am far inferior to the fourth brother, in addition to the prince, there is also the ninth brother Gongzi Xiu, see you today, I can only say that Gongzi Xiucheng Mansion is very deep, and the ability and the Yang family represented behind it are far beyond my reach, although His Majesty named me Changpingjun, but I think this is far from enough to reach the level of fighting for the destiny of heaven, what does Mr. think?"

Hearing this, Wu Xie smiled slightly and said, "Don't be discouraged, I have a word, Gongzi should ponder slowly, no matter who it is, no matter how big the family behind this person is, whether there is a mandate of heaven or between the thoughts of His Majesty today, the country of the Great Jin Dynasty or His Majesty has the final say, no one, nothing can go against Your Majesty, you just need to remember this, do your best and obey the Mandate of Heaven, as long as you have a clear conscience." ”

Mu Sheng bowed his hand and said, "Sir, I understand." ”

The meaning of this Wu Xie is very clear, the heir's final interpretation power is still owned by the emperor, the prince can be established or abolished, and it is the emperor's business to whom the throne is passed on, as long as the prince does not really ascend the throne for a day, in fact, the princes still have the opportunity to compete for performance, you don't have to be too arrogant, in the eyes of the big leaders, if you say you can do it, you can do it, if you can't do it, you can't do it.

Horizontal batch: If you don't accept it, you can't do it!

Wu Xie said in a serious tone, "Childe, Princess Yao's affairs must be taken to heart, this is suddenly Wang Ruimuqiu is not so easy to get along with on the surface, in fact, the monkey spirit monkey spirit, he will not bet easily, and he will not easily marry his baby daughter to any prince." ”

"What Childe has to do is to strive for Princess Yao's favor, as for whether there is fate or not, it depends on the will of God, if Ruimu Yao really has the heart to fight with Childe, then Childe has a hole card in his hand that is enough to save his life, then he can let go of his hand to fight, even if the battle fails, if the prince succeeds in the future, he will not dare to take you, Childe has to think about it......"

Mu Sheng frowned and thought about it in his heart, and recalled Sister Yao's deep facial features, which were very different from the exotic beauty of the Central Plains women, and felt that it seemed feasible, no matter whether it was successful or not, whether he could hold the beauty or not, he didn't seem to have any loss.

"Good! As Mr. said. ”

"However, I still have one more thing to ask sir, to be honest, I still agree with the prince's concept of governing the country in my heart, if it has been unified today, in the past era of the nations, our Jin Kingdom and the alliance of the grassland tribes made the old nobles of the Kwantung region regard me as Xirong, and now that the Great Jin Dynasty dominates the world, there is really no need to care too much about the grassland tribes, what does Mr. think?"

Hearing this, Wu Xie arched his hand in the direction of the golden tent where the emperor lived, and said, "It seems that His Majesty is the most sober today, and listen to Wu Mou slowly." ”

It seems that Wu Xie still agrees with His Majesty's policy of governance?

"Sir, please speak, and listen to me."

Wu Xie said, "Let me ask Childe, Childe thinks that the threat of the Kwantung countries uniting is great?" Or is there a big threat from the steppe tribes uniting? ”

Mu Sheng remembered the Xiongnu Empire in later generations, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in order to destroy the Xiongnu, almost the entire Western Han Dynasty was compensated, and later found that this group of nomads was like a small strong who could not be killed, the wildfire could not be burned, the spring breeze blew and born, and the nomads had a huge advantage that all the people were soldiers, wandering everywhere, immediately kung fu was good, and everyone was hard-working, the combat quality of the soldiers was extremely high, the rear base was the prairie, its strategic maneuver space was very large, and the enemy advanced and retreated, and the enemy was tired and disturbed by the essence of the war. The cost of war was much lower than that of the Central Plains Dynasty.

Often the main reason for the collapse of the Central Plains Dynasty is the huge military pressure from the northern grasslands and has to spend thousands of dollars on the northern border all the year round, and once it reaches the end of the dynasty, the land is annexed, the displaced people are everywhere, natural disasters are frequent, and the financial collapse is the last straw that crushes the camel.

Thinking of this, Mu Sheng was puzzled, "It must be that the grassland tribes are a big threat, but now the grassland tribes have been subdued by the Jin army as early as the time of the ancestor Huiwen Wang, and when there is a great martial victory in Beihai today, there should not be too much threat, right?" ”

Wu Xie shook his head and said, "Gongzi's words are wrong, although after the defeat of the Beihai, except for the Dayi clan, the other Hun tribes have not hurt their vitality, and the current grassland tribes have long since recovered from the era of King Huiwen, and now although there are still many contradictions within the Huns, the three major clans of the grassland are indeed waiting for a great leader who can truly unify the Hun tribes, they have been waiting for the opportunity, and my Great Jin still has to have a million soldiers on the northern border to deal with the threat from the northern grassland." ”

"Millions of male soldiers spend tens of thousands of gold a day, even if the imperial court is strong and wealthy, the price paid in order to maintain the tranquility of the northern border is too heavy, compared to raising a million male divisions, which little bit of gold and silver goods are rewarded to the grassland departments every year, it is nothing at all, and now the plan is to focus on winning over and appeasing the grassland departments is the way to long-term peace and stability."

"The voice of the former dynasty is still in my ears, but it is ridiculous that no one in the Manchu Dynasty has a clear understanding of the current situation, and they all think that the current prince is virtuous, and when the Huns unite one day to go south to kill the door, they can really wake up when they cut off the head of the dog on the neck of the knife rack."

Mu Sheng sincerely admired and said, "Mr. Gao is high, and he admires the five-body projection." ”

When Wu Xie heard this, he just smiled......

Hearing this, Mu Sheng couldn't help but admire Wu Xie's pattern and vision, after all, he has a historical perspective of the future, the grassland people have always been the sword of Damocles hanging over the head of the Central Plains Dynasty, and even the rise and fall of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign great dynasties and climate change are directly related to the southward raiding of the grassland people.

In fact, many things happen in a chain reaction, on the surface, it seems to have nothing to do with themselves, but in fact it is very important.

Historically, the Central Plains farming dynasty has no way to effectively control the grassland, the grassland people live in water and grass, the mobility is too strong, and they will never settle down and live like the farming people, which is caused by the bad environment of survival, and you can't send tax collectors, you can't effectively organize the social structure if you can't collect taxes, you can't set up a bureaucratic system like the Central Plains Dynasty, and you can't build an effective administrative management organization, and you can't build a hierarchical social system, and the system of the Central Plains Dynasty is completely unworkable on the grassland.

When it comes to the so-called military leader of the steppe people, he actually can't effectively control the nomadic tribes below, he is actually the leader of a marauder alliance, once you can't defeat the enemy in military leadership and can't grab good things, then you immediately stand aside and choose someone who is more capable of leading everyone to survive.

The social organization of the nomadic tribe is more like a wolf pack, the goal of their hunting is agricultural civilization, the military leader of the steppe people wants to maintain effective rule can only continue to lead and support his tribe to achieve one brilliant military victory after another, and by the way, he earns a lot of money, a leader who can make his subordinates eat is a good leader, otherwise he can only stand aside, he has no rice in his hand, and he can't even coax chickens, let alone people?

That's why the northern steppe took away the Huns, and the Xianbei people, the Xianbei people, the Rouran people, the Rouran people, and the Turkic people, the grassland tribes have always been attacking the Central Plains Dynasty, and the Central Plains Dynasty can only spend a lot of money to build fortifications, and spend thousands of dollars a day to raise a huge number of border guards, which has caused unprecedented pressure on the central finances, and the collapse of many ancient dynasties is first of all extremely bad finances, and there is no money to do anything, and there is no money to appease the people! The army is not paid, and if there is no mutiny, it will give the court face.

This is true of the state, and so is the people, and in the end, the poor financial situation of these ancient dynasties is an important factor, like a domino house, which collapses a corner, and what is left collapses.

The last years of the Ming Dynasty were a true portrayal of such events, and if the country encountered a systemic crisis and did not adjust its governance strategy as soon as possible, the edifice would collapse, and it would not be possible to save it by relying on one or two loyal ministers.

The Central Plains Dynasty could only passively defend against the grassland peoples militarily, and it could not really eliminate them by taking the initiative to attack, and the last means that the Central Plains Dynasty could only choose was.

First, marriage and kinship establish blood ties.

Second, it is to spend money to buy peace and provide for them, such as the story of the Northern Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom.

Third, it is to learn from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to use military force, even if he desperately drags down the whole country, he has to fight with the Xiongnu.

In essence, throughout history, the above three alone can not solve the problem, only three in one can basically solve the grassland troubles, the later Qing Dynasty obviously summed up the success and failure of the previous dynasties, the means of treating the grassland people are more clever, intermarriage, blood connection, benefit sharing, but also added a spiritual control of religious beliefs.

This made the steppe peoples finally stabilize during the Qing Dynasty, and failed to pose a fatal threat to agricultural civilization, which is also related to the fact that the rulers of the Manchu Dynasty were also nomadic tribes, and they knew how to deal with the steppe peoples and how to control them.

It has to be said that the Manchu Dynasty was the central empire with the most routines and the most perfect ruling technology among the classical Chinese dynasties.

Thinking of this, in Mu Sheng's opinion, he can only hope that after the future prince takes power, he can find an opportunity to persuade the new monarch to change his ways.

This is also a matter for the future, now, the most important thing is the hunting conference, when the time comes, even the emperor will put on armor and go into battle to hunt in person, in order to show that he will not forget his original intention, and he will fight the world immediately, and he can also settle the world when he gets off the horse.
