Chapter Ninety-Eight: Sending troops after the festival
Liu Qi's voice fell.
Everyone's eyes fell on Yang Wenyuan.
Yang Wenyuan's face was full of astonishment, as if he would say it again.
"What do you see me doing?"
But Liu Qi's next words made him breathe a sigh of relief.
"Father, the son has recruited a new guest, this person is named Lu Liang. Not only is he talented, but he is also able to argue. ”
"Erchen dares to guarantee that if he is sent to the Empire of Ambassadors, he will definitely succeed immediately."
When Lu Liang was mentioned, everyone looked left and right, and shook their heads one after another.
Jia Siming stroked his beard and smiled.
"Your Highness, almost all the talented ministers of Qingdu have heard of it, why has this Lu Liang never heard of it?"
"A man who has no reputation is also worthy of being a talented man? Wouldn't it be a joke to send such a person to the female empire to negotiate a relationship? ”
Liu Qi seemed to have reacted to something, and strode towards Jia Siming.
"Oh, it's the king who is confused."
"Everyone knows that Master Jia is a famous family in the world, and he is quite famous in the literary world. Since Master Jia said so, do you think you want your father to send you? ”
"Lord Jia is worried about the country, it's good to have such a responsibility! That's great! ”
Jia Siming's intestines were about to repent, and he suddenly put on a bitter gourd face.
"Your Majesty, although the old minister is a little literate, he is not good at words. And the old minister is old and his energy is not good, so it may be difficult for him to take on this big responsibility! ”
Liu Qi's face changed suddenly.
"Since you know that you are incompetent, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Jia Siming's face was red, but he didn't dare to say a rebuttal.
Seeing this, Emperor Qing couldn't help it, and it was not easy to notice, so he laughed quickly.
"Liu Qi, I don't care who you want to use, since you said that he is talented, you may want to give it a try."
"If I can complete my mission, I will definitely give him to join the court as an official, if not, then I don't have to come back."
"However, having said that, I have a question in my heart, you just said, giving the land of the Hetao to the female empire, how could it be that since then, the passage between them and Korea has been opened."
Everyone talked a lot, and they all waited for the prince's answer.
Liu Qi nodded.
"Erchen naturally knows that the realm of the deer land is to blockade the female empire and border with other countries, and reduce the threat to my Daqing."
"But what Erchen wants to say is that the current female empire is a small threat to me? The realm of Lucheng has really brought substantial benefits to my Daqing? ”
Li Shouting immediately stood up.
"Hehe, Your Highness's words are wrong, for many years, the female empire has not developed and grown, isn't it because of the blockade of the realm of Daqing Lucheng? This is not a benefit, what else can it be? ”
Liu Qi shook his head, and his disdainful gaze fell on him.
"Master Li, if you don't say you're short-sighted!"
"In the king's view, giving the land of the Hetao to the female empire is the true maximization of benefits."
Everyone was noisy for a while, and it was not until it was quiet that Liu Qi spoke.
"Listen to the king, ministers."
"Now, in the realm of Lucheng, I am not only guarding against the female empire, but also South Korea south of the Hetao."
"But when the land of the Hetao is opened, it's different. All the attention of the female empire will not be on the realm of my Lucheng, but on transferring part of its energy to South Korea. ”
"The same is true of Korea, from now on, we must beware of both our country and the empress."
"The two countries do not dare to rashly have any thoughts about our Daqing, and they both think that one day, they can annex each other. No matter how the two compete, in the end, I can reap the benefits of the fisherman. ”
"And I don't have to do anything in Daqing, in order not to involve my country in the disputes between them, I will definitely take the initiative to make friends with our DPRK."
"In this way, I Daqing, I don't have to spend a huge amount of money every year, as well as manpower and material resources, to strictly defend Lucheng. Instead, you can dedicate more energy to other things. ”
"When this king's words fall, don't the ministers still understand?"
For a time, the court was silent.
Even Yang Wenyuan was stunned.
I can't help but think, this prince, isn't there a master behind him? Could it be that Lu Liang?
Such a good plan, no one in the Manchu Dynasty came up with it.
Looking at the emperor's current expression, it should be impossible to take back Liu Qi's military power.
In that case, we had to move on to another plan.
"His Royal Highness is really clever, and the old minister is deeply admired!"
"If this plan is successful, it will definitely give me Daqing and solve many troubles, and if it can be as His Highness said, it will be extremely beneficial."
"The old minister has nothing to say, and agrees with His Highness's proposal."
"However, then again, since you want to move troops, then you have to do without delay, I don't know when Your Highness plans to move troops?"
Hearing Yang Wenyuan's words, Emperor Qing thought about it.
Liu Qi's will to send troops has been decided, and now it cannot be changed.
Regardless of how many months he said for a while, just try your best to buy him some more time.
However, Liu Qi's answer was completely beyond everyone's expectations.
"This king has decided that after the Moon Festival, he will lead his troops to the end of the month!"
Everyone in the hall sighed.
Moon worship is coming in a few days, and the end of the month is only a few days.
When the game is full, Liu Qixian can only prepare for less than ten days.
Yang Wenyuan was shocked again.
I thought that the prince might say that it would take two months, or three months, or something, but I didn't expect it. But this is the answer that came.
He couldn't help but be a little suspicious, was he getting old? Or the prince's thinking is too active.
Why can't he keep up with his train of thought every time?
Actually, Yang Wenyuan guessed correctly.
Liu Qi was secretly happy at this time, if it wasn't for the night he talked with Lu Liang, he wouldn't have had this plan.
Although Lu Liang just said that the land of Hetao, the same function as the realm of Lucheng, was the best reminder for him.
At this time, after Emperor Qing heard this, his body trembled violently.
Labor and management still want to speak for you, you are good, isn't this forcing yourself to death?
But Liu Qi didn't think so.
He felt that since the ministers of the court and the central government had always wanted to speak to the emperor and deprive him of his military power, it would be better to take his soldiers and horses and leave the place early.
In this way, there is no need to play against these ministers in this court all day long, and at the same time, if you go out early, you can prepare early.
Who said they were going to fight? Labor and management are stationed in Pingzhuang, what can you do with me?
"Liu Qi, do you know what you're going to say?"
Facing Emperor Qing with a solemn face, Liu Qi knew that his father was worried about himself, and he also felt that he was a little reckless.
"Father, of course the sons know."
"However, Erchen also thinks that what Master Li said is right, since it is a military dispatch, it should be sooner rather than later to prevent changes."
"Erchen also thought about it, after dealing with the Xiongnu as soon as possible, it is good that when he returns home, he will go to the female empire to have a look.
"First, I came to congratulate the female empire on winning the Garuqin Loop, and secondly, I came to go as a prince, which can also express the sincerity of my alliance."
That being said, Liu Qi was actually thinking in his heart.
I have heard for a long time that almost all of them are women, and they are all beauties.
Especially the empress martial arts, she is even more peerless.
As a man, wouldn't it be a pity not to see such a wonderful place?
"Liu Qi, fighting a war is not child's play, if you send troops in such a hurry, if you are defeated, you must know that you have made a military order."
But Emperor Qing's words did not scare Liu Qi.
"Father, since the son sent troops at such a time, he must be sure. Otherwise, we will not dare to be reckless in the major affairs of the country. ”
"However, before this battle, the son had a request."
