Yu Qian sighed lightly: "Li'er is such a Li'er, but how can Mr. guarantee it...... Alas, the key is that in the cognition of the vast majority of people, Warat can no longer be supported! ”

Li Qing said: "The truth is often grasped by a small number of people! ”

Yu Qian opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything to refute it, for so many years, Li Qing has never made a mistake every time he makes a decision.

"Does the emperor know about this?" Li Qing asked.

"Ah, in the early dynasty, I have reported to the emperor."

"What did he say?"

Yu Qian smiled bitterly: "The emperor wants to send troops, taking advantage of the big war between the two sides, and a yellow finch is behind, but except for a few generals such as Shi Heng, all of them are opposed, and the emperor does not force it anymore, but just says to wait and see what happens." ”

"You can't wait and see what happens, after the great victory of Warat, there will be chaos." Li Qingdao said, "The volume of Warat is too large, and the risk of internal loss of control is too great, and the imperial court must help." ”

"But the problem is ......"

"The solution to the problem is that the purpose of the aid to Warat cannot be changed." Li Qing said, "Let's go, let's enter the palace." ”

The Imperial Study.

Zhu Jianshen is reviewing the recitals, in fact, there are comments on each recital, and his work intensity is not very large, much easier than Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao back then.

Frankly, the Cabinet still has a strong positive effect, at least for now.

Zhu Jianshen is also accustomed to the rhythm of life, although the official duties are complicated, they are not very heavy, and he can get tired of Zhen'er in his spare time; gòйЪ.ōΓg

Staying in the harem at night, the Wu family, the Wang family, and the Bai family are also very cute, the small days are very moisturizing, and they are blessed by power, and they are in a good mood every day.

The premise is that you don't want those bad things.

At this time, the little eunuch standing in the hall stepped forward, "Your Majesty, Marquis Yongqing, Yu Shangshu asks to see you." ”

"Hmm... Declare. Zhu Jianshen lifted the Zhu pen, wrote down the word 'Zhaozhu', picked up another notebook, and continued to be busy, but without looking at it a few times, his brows were twisted, and he made a big cross on the criticism.

scolded and scolded: "Still thinking about raising your income, now your income has already exceeded the amount set by Taizu, and you have so many gray incomes in the open and in secret, you are not satisfied with ......"

"Minister Li Qing, long live my emperor......"

"No courtesy." Zhu Jianshen said casually, put down the song and raised his head, only to find that Li Qing and the others had just entered the main hall.

Yu Qian was a little speechless, but with Li Qing's light, he didn't have to salute.

Zhu Jianshen is used to it, and he is more jealous of Li Qing now, but he is not very angry: "The two Aiqing came together, what is the matter?" ”

"Your Majesty, the situation in the grassland has taken a turn for the worse, and at this time, we need to help Warat as soon as possible." Li Qing got straight to the point.

Zhu Jianshen was stunned, and said in surprise: "Li Qing, didn't Yu Qing tell you the details?" ”

"The minister knows the details, but it is necessary to help Warat." Li Qing said seriously, "For a long time, there have been constant contradictions within Warat, and the reason why it did not collapse is because of the assistance of the Ming Dynasty and the Tatars' eyesight;

Although Warat now has the upper hand, the internal contradictions that will follow after the victory will follow. ”

Zhu Jianshen put down the pen and frowned: "What if Wara takes the opportunity to become bigger and then dominate the grassland?" ”

If I don't send troops, I will spend money to help...... Zhu saw that Shen was angry, this is Li Qing, and he would have to scold if he changed people.

Li Qing said: "Warat can't unify the grassland, the Ming Dynasty has assisted them since the Xuanzong period, so many years have passed, have they unified the grassland?"

Not once!

They have won many battles, but they have never been able to unify the grassland, does the emperor know why? ”

Zhu Jianshen snorted: "If the mud can't support the wall, then there is no need for assistance." ”

"......" Li Qing smiled bitterly: "Warat is not a native of the grassland, this is the key." ”

After a pause, he moved out of Grandpa Zhu Jianshen, "In the past, Emperor Xuanzong gave all the jade seals of the former yuan to Wara, and the emperor thought that if Wara was really possible, Emperor Xuanzong would do this?" ”

Zhu Jianshen was stunned, not to mention whether it was right or not, it was his grandfather, could he refute it?

"There is no money in the treasury, and the treasury is empty...... Zhu Jianshen suddenly remembered something, "How do you know about the Xuande Dynasty?" ”

"Listen to what the Emperor said." Li Qing said, and then, he moved Zhu Jianshen's father out: "During the orthodox years, the Emperor Taishang has also been implementing the purpose of supporting Wara, and through the strategy of helping the weak against the strong, the grassland has always been in a civil war, thus indirectly making my Ming Dynasty undisturbed. ”

Li Qing sent out a soul torture question: "The emperor thinks that Xuanzong and Emperor Taishang, they have done wrong?" ”

“…… I didn't say that. Zhu Jianshen said with a dark face, "But the problem now is that our Daming is not rich, and they didn't do much in the past, it doesn't mean that they will be the same in the future;

If they get bigger, won't they shoot themselves in the foot? ”

"No, definitely not." Li Qing is determined.

"Why?"

Li Qing said: "First, Warat is holding the jade seal of the Yuan Court in his hand, and this object has a fatal attraction to the great tribes of the grassland;

Second, Warat is not a descendant of Genghis Khan, and he is not even a native of the steppe, and his number is far inferior to that of the steppe tribes;

Under these conditions, Warat will never be able to unify the grasslands. ”

Zhu Jianshen frowned, and said suspiciously: "Then what if Wara hands over the jade seal?" ”

"No!" Li Qing shook his head, "Once the Warat is handed over, no matter who it falls into, they can immediately pull up a huge team, the grassland is scattered, and the Warat is tired of coping, if they are twisted into a rope, then they are not far from extinction." ”

Zhu Jianshen smiled, he naturally understood this truth, he just wanted to play tricks on Li Qing and let out a little evil anger.

"There is some truth in what you said, but ......" Zhu Jianshen spread his hands: "No money!" ”

Li Qing: "......"

Zhu Jianshen said: "If it is to use trade aid, I am not unacceptable, but in this war, all the materials are consumed by themselves, and the money of the Ming Dynasty is not blown by the wind, so they can't be given to them in vain, right?" ”

Without waiting for Li Qing to speak, Zhu Jianshen hurriedly added: "It's not okay to borrow, they need too much, and there is a high probability that they can't afford to pay it back." ”

said 1,000, said 10,000, Zhu Jianshen still didn't want to help, because there was indeed a risk in it, even if what Li Qing said was very reasonable.

As it stands, the paper figures of Warat are exaggerated!

Li Qing said it very thoroughly, and Zhu Jianshen also understood the stakes, but he couldn't help but consider the losses brought to Daming after making a mistake in decision-making.

No one can guarantee that things will develop according to Li Qing's script.

The unknown is always full of uncertainty.

Zhu Jianshen's words changed, and his tone softened: "I know that Aiqing is also dedicated to the country and has no selfish intentions, but as the king of a country, I have to weigh the pros and cons!"

I am considerate of you, and you must be considerate of me! ”

Zhu Jianshen said sincerely, and Li Qing was not angry.

Li Qing knew that Zhu Jianshen was not targeting him, but really out of weighing the pros and cons.

Helpless, Li Qing had no choice but to propose a compromise.

"What if you don't have money?"

Zhu Jianshen smiled bitterly: "This is actually not just a matter of money, but now Wara is really too strong, Aiqing, your analysis is very reasonable, but this is not a fact after all;

How can you conclude that the Warat, which could not unify the steppe in the past, still cannot?

For three days, you should be impressed; What's more, after all these years?

This... After all, it's just your conjecture, and it doesn't prove anything, at least in my opinion, both sides of the matter can happen, so why should I spend so much money? ”

Li Qing smiled dumbly, nodded and said: "What the emperor said is extremely true, not to underestimate the opponent, it is a necessary quality for the superior. ”

After a pause, he said, "Then what if...... Is this aid also beneficial to the Ming Dynasty? ”

"Oh? How so? ”

Li Qing sighed and said: "After the war, the internal contradictions of Warat will inevitably break out, there is no doubt about this, Daming can help them alleviate the contradictions, for example: to take over the grassland tribes that are difficult to control in Warat." ”

Yu Qian's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood Li Qing's deep meaning, and praised: "Wonderful! Wonderful! Your Majesty, this strategy is feasible. ”

Zhu Jianshen hesitated: "This is indeed a good way, but the problem is ...... Would Warat be willing? ”

"Definitely." Li Qingdao said, "With the growth of the war, it can no longer support the rations of so many people, and it is a scourge to keep those unstable factors." ”

"Well...... Zhu Jianshen suddenly thought of something and said with a smile, "Then if that's the case...... I still have to send troops to the grassland, otherwise how can I bring back so many people? ”

Li Qing nodded: "It's a war, but it's not a war." ”

It's okay if I don't fight, I just need to send troops...... Zhu Jianshen smiled and said: "Then it's decided, Ming'er will come to Aiqing early, such a big matter, I can't say anything." ”

Finally, you can cultivate your own power from scratch.

Zhu Jianshen's heart is full of flowers!

For the first time, it was so pleasing to the eye to see Li Qing......

Out of the palace, Yu Qian said happily: "Sir, this method is better than direct assistance, and it can also get the support of hundreds of officials." ”

Li Qing shook his head: "No, in fact, the best solution is still financial and material assistance to Warat, not that I underestimate Warat, they really can't grasp it, this is just a compromise." ”

Yu Qian didn't think so, he didn't refute it, but comforted: "This is already excellent, it can not only reduce the burden of Warat to a certain extent, but also benefit the Ming Dynasty, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone;

If Mr. is really obsessed with vigorous assistance, the emperor will not agree, and the hundred officials will not agree, even Li Xian will also contradict, and the treasury is indeed not rich.

What's the shame of a strategy that's hard to implement? ”

Li Qing sighed lightly: "Let's do this for the time being, but... If the follow-up is really unbearable, then I don't care who agrees or disagrees. ”

When Yu Qian heard him say this, he immediately became nervous: "Mr. It's better to be safe, the emperor is not yet powerful, and the officials have not yet returned to their hearts, and they are ......."

Li Qing waved his hand lightly and said, "The interests of Daming are above all else!" ”

"That can't be nonsense!" Yu Qian was anxious.

"Don't worry, I won't come nonsense." Li Qing said with a smile.

It's just that this smile fell in Yu Qian's eyes, but he felt that his scalp was numb.
