King Dawan pretended to be calm and said, "Does Emperor Daqin mean that the status of us kings is not as good as your courtiers?" ”

I suddenly couldn't help but laugh and nodded, "I don't want to be so blunt, but it is. ”

The kings were directly petrified on the spot, and they were speechless for a while.

"I have a second sentence to say, and I hope you have listened carefully."

Facing their stunned gazes, I said lightly, "I am not warlike, but there is only one exception. ”

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, what is the exception?"

"When the enemy is unwilling to accept my terms, and does not want to go to war with me!"

As soon as these words came out, the kings of the Green Ridge who were the most powerful just now and the other kings who were cautious instantly fell silent.

At this moment, there is only one thing in their minds: Loulan, dead!

"Of course." I regained my kind smile: "The Western Regions is a friendly country of Great Qin, so naturally it is not an enemy, and I believe that you will not refuse my kindness." ”

After the words fell, I turned around and walked towards the Academy: "Tomorrow I will leave the Academy Palace for Weixi County, and when I return to Xianyang and pass by the Western Regions Academy, I hope that these three things have already begun to move." ”

Nash was frowning and thinking about something, when he heard this, he looked up and said in astonishment, "Wissy? ”

Feng Zheng and I had already walked towards the stage, and Xiao Wu paused in front of Nash and said with a smile: "Please know that King Qiuzi knows that the land of Huqi and the land of Wusun have been divided into six counties, and tomorrow I will have someone to present a new map of the Western Regions to the kings." ”

After that, he followed Feng Zheng and left, leaving only the kings with confused thoughts.

King Nandou turned his head to look at King Dawan with difficulty: "King Dawan, this ......"

King Dawan was silent for a long time, sighed heavily, and led people away without saying a word, the psychological shadow left by that unknown weapon was too heavy!

When the kings saw this, they had no intention of staying here, and they were all scattered.

Kaqu and Nash walked last.

Nash's expression was a little complicated, and he said in a low voice: "Kaqu, do you want to ...... Qiuzi"

Kaqu was also a little confused, shook his head and said: "The minister doesn't know, although the king did not participate in the gambling game, but the Great Qin Emperor did not mention the gambling contract when he said those words......

Nash sighed: "Hey, this king has a premonition for a long time, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly......"

Inside the Palace of Western Regions.

Feng Zheng and Xiao Wu followed me, and when they reached the front of the hall, I turned to look at their expressions of wanting to speak, and asked with a smile, "What, do you think I have gone too far?" ”

The two hurriedly said, "The minister doesn't dare." ”

I restrained my smile and said in a deep voice, "Remember, you can't hesitate when it's time to be decisive!" ”

Feng Zheng was a little worried: "The minister is only afraid of starting another war, even if Great Qin is not afraid, it will eventually make the Western Regions turbulent, and it will cost countless money and food." ”

I slowly paced forward and said slowly, "I have been talking about stopping the war for three years, but that is only for the expansion war, and the elimination of hidden dangers is not among them!" In the past three years, I will not only achieve the rapid development of agriculture and commerce, but also completely eliminate the hidden dangers existing in Daqin, and it is inevitable that the Western Regions will bear the brunt. ”

The two also knew that what I said was right, hidden dangers are like thorns in the hands, picking them out may be more painful, but if they don't pick them out, they will be pus and rotten, and even life-threatening!

"Your Majesty is wise, and the minister still remembers that Your Majesty once said that if the land that was beaten down cannot be actually controlled, Your Majesty would rather not."

I smiled: "That's right, and it's not that I would rather not want it, but I must not want it!" It's just a wild land, you can adopt a policy of restraint, and even if you lose it, it won't hurt. But the land of civilization is different, and the policy of restraint will only stimulate their desire to resist, and if they can't control it, they can't quickly destroy their culture and replace it with the culture of Great Qin, and the rebellion will always exist, and eventually drag down the empire. ”

I looked at Xiao Wu: "That's why I didn't be too harsh on Du Bao. ”

Xiao Wu said embarrassedly: "This minister's fault is also." ”

"It's nothing, there was no such precedent in Daqin before, not to mention that those are all protected, and I don't have a bottom in my heart." Speaking of this, I was a little displeased: "But Jing Zhu and Han Xin have been in the Western Regions for so many years, and they have never reported the situation here to me in detail, which is the main reason why I sent you, the two of them can only lead troops to fight, and they don't know how to educate the people for the government." ”

Xiao Wu nodded approvingly, and arched his hand: "The minister must be dedicated to live up to His Majesty's expectations." ”

Then he wondered: "Why didn't Your Majesty mention the matter of culture this time?" ”

Feng Zai pointed to the school palace in front of him: "Isn't this culture?" ”

I looked up at the school palace and smiled, "Yes and no." ”

"Uh...... What does Your Majesty mean? ”

"Culture is not just words, but covers all living habits of clothing, food, housing and transportation." I raised my finger: "Take a chestnut, if all the Qin people wear the Western Regions Ayaluo, use the Western Regions gems, drink the Western Regions milk wine, and practice the Western Regions etiquette, do you think the Great Qin will last long?" ”

This is obvious, Feng Zheng affirmed: "Advocating the habits of foreign races will not only make the Qin people lose their own culture, but also erode the commerce and trade of the Great Qin, and if this is the case for a long time, the Great Qin State will not be a country!" ”

"Therefore, it is necessary to let the people of the Western Regions wear Daqin silk, use Daqin glass, drink Daqin tea, and perform Daqin gifts, so that the people of the Western Regions can value Daqin culture! This is what I am going to do next, but this kind of thing cannot be promoted by coercion, but can only be subtly influenced. ”

The two nodded: "The minister understands." ”

The three of them entered the hall and sat down, and I said in a deep voice: "Now that I have torn my face with the countries of the Western Regions, I am afraid that those three things will not be easy to implement. ”

Xiao Wu's face was solemn, and he arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is not afraid of hardship!" ”

I smiled: "But you don't have to worry too much, Wang Jin will come and discuss the details later." ”

The three of them drank tea for a while, and Wang Jin hurried over.

"See Your Majesty!"

"Excuse me, sit down."

After Wang Jin sat down, I looked at him and said, "You also saw the performance of the countries today, right?" Any thoughts? ”

Wang Jin smiled and showed two mouthfuls of big white teeth: "Back to Your Majesty, their country is weak and tired, and they will inevitably be afraid after seeing my Great Qin's army, and the minister thinks that there is no need to worry, but it is that Huqidi, Guishan and Kangju need to be careful." ”

"Oh?" Feng Zheng and I glanced at each other and asked with interest, "What do you mean by that?" ”

Then Wang Jin said his thoughts, which were roughly the same as what the three of us discussed yesterday.

Wang Jinke has never been to the Western Regions, nor has he ever been in contact with matters related to the Western Regions, and he was not there when he discussed yesterday, so it was not easy to think of this layer.

I nodded with satisfaction and complimented, "Very good, I'm glad you thought of this, I shouldn't be wrong to send you to the Western Regions." ”

Wang Jin smiled embarrassedly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
