The ministers looked at each other, but Chu Zheng did not blame him, it is estimated that these ministers are more concerned about how he, the emperor, knows the news than figuring out his thoughts as the emperor.

After all, Da Chu has never had any connection with the grassland, could it be that the six gates of the emperor's Jianghu organization have already laid a hidden line to the grassland royal court? If this is the case, how can these guys who are at the feet of the Son of Heaven hide from this thoughtful emperor?

And the reason why Chu Zheng asked them to come here was not to let them give advice, don't look at the number of people in the hall now, but there are only two or three people who can really speak.

Although these ministers are not as cunning as Su Wang and Lu Xiangrui, they are also old guys who have been cultivating in the public gate for decades, and they can see that Chu Zheng called them to give them a dismount, after all, they were not qualified to participate in this small court meeting in the past.

However, no matter how much they look at each other, someone has to stand up, and it is not their courtiers' job to put the emperor aside.

Among those ministers who were lower than Su Wang and others, Zhao Yunqing, a fat man who had always been regarded as a pistachio by Chu Zheng, was pushed out, and he didn't know how much he benefited from the eyes of those courtiers who were unwilling to stand up.

As before, Zhao Fatzi still has a cute smiling face, which makes people feel a little disgusting after seeing it at a glance.

Chu Zheng is no exception to this, he is actually not afraid of this dead fat man who is greedy for money, but he is afraid that he will laugh, if he really can't find a more suitable person to take care of the money bag than him, Chu Zheng would have wanted to replace him a long time ago.

"I said Zhao Fatty, can you not always use your cheap appearance to disgust me, otherwise I will lose my appetite for lunch today, just say anything, I listen. ”

Zhao Yunqing immediately put away his smile, but he couldn't put away the cheapness that went deep into his bones.

"Your Majesty, it's not easy for the ministers to say this, but it's really not good for us to come to the grassland to establish a regime, otherwise let's send a team of people over to see the truth first. ”

"Don't read it, the news is true, you just need to answer me what you think about the establishment of power in the steppe. ”

Zhao Yunqing can be sure that Chu Zheng must have someone in the grassland at this time, otherwise he would not be so categorical, this Zhao Fat Man was very nervous in his heart, but he seemed very calm on the surface.

"Your Majesty, if we can be sure that this is true, let's send someone to the grassland as soon as possible to stop it! Once their regime is established, although there is still a state of discord between the twelve wolf kings and the royal court in the short term, since Yelu Hongbin dares to propose the establishment of political power, then he must have the means and confidence to wipe out the twelve wolf kings. ”

Hearing Zhao Yunqing's analysis, many courtiers present nodded frequently, but they didn't expect that this Zhao Fat Man not only made money and spent money, but also had such experience in these political affairs.

But after hearing so much, Chu Zheng's face was still very calm, it seems that this Zhao Fat Man didn't get to the point?

But if this emperor didn't want to stop it, then he must have supported it? But there was no reason for this! They really couldn't think of any benefit to Da Chu after the establishment of power in the grassland. Could it be that the emperor, who had been quiet for too many years, wanted to have some excitement in his last years in power?

Although he guessed Chu Zheng's thoughts in his heart, no one rushed to stand up and speak, which made Zhao Yunqing, who was the first to stand up and speak, look a little embarrassed, in addition to scolding those people for not having righteousness, he already regretted why he coveted that little benefit to be this up-and-coming bird.

However, Chu Zheng didn't embarrass him for too long, Zhao Yunqing's words were not at fault for starting from a courtier, but some things were wrong because he couldn't think of what the emperor wanted as a courtier!

"You're right, I did have this idea at first, and I still have plans to do so, but if I get involved in other things, I will have a hard time making a choice, which is why I asked you to help me get an idea. ”

Zhao Yunqing exhaled, as long as Chu Zheng took the words back, he would make up his mind not to speak today, the big deal was that everyone would be scolded together, which was much more comfortable than him standing up and resisting alone, and besides, he had already spoken just now, no matter how much Chu Zheng blamed him, he couldn't blame him.

So after Chu Zheng finished speaking, Zhao Yunqing immediately shut up with interest, turned his head away and didn't look at Chu Zheng, Chu Zheng only smiled at this, and didn't force him.

"Cheng Shangshuling, I don't know what you think in your heart. ”

Cheng Yijie first walked out and saluted respectfully, and then hesitated for a few breaths before speaking slowly.

"Your Majesty, since ancient times, the emperors of all dynasties and generations have the idea of incorporating the grassland into their territory, but no emperor has ever been able to succeed for thousands of years, even those prosperous dynasties that are stronger than our dynasty can't do it, they can kill the grassland barbarians to almost extinction, but they just can't subdue that group of barbarians, and since ancient times, no matter how poor and weak the Central Plains is, the grassland cannot enter the Central Plains, the biggest reason among the two is that Dachu is not a grassland, and the grassland is not Dachu!"

Cheng Yijie paused when he said this, he had to see Chu Zheng's reaction first, but if he wanted to see something from Chu Zheng's facial expression, Cheng Yijie had miscalculated.

I saw that Chu Zheng's face was calm, and he was even more joyless and sad than when Zhao Yunqing spoke just now. Seeing this scene, Cheng Yijie had no choice but to continue talking.

"Your Majesty, the biggest impact on us about the establishment of power in the grassland is not their centralization of power, but their identity has changed since then, just like a peasant boy who suddenly became the champion, it was not obvious in the first few decades, but after a few decades, those people in the world will feel that the grassland, that is, the Northern Zhou in the emperor's mouth, is actually no different from our Great Chu! And at that time, after those grassland barbarians enter the customs, they may not want to plunder but to seek the country! But..."

Cheng Yijie's words had already made the ministers in the palace speechless in surprise, I didn't expect him to have no more than two words in the end, but no matter what the content behind him was, the ministers had already made up their minds, and after he finished speaking, he advised the emperor to immediately send someone to organize the grassland to establish political power.

As long as none of the scholars who sneaked away to the grassland were killed, the grassland would not be able to establish a political power in a hundred years.

Just after these ministers discussed with each other and stood up together, Cheng Yijie continued.

"But this matter is not completely unbeneficial to our Great Chu, in the past, we couldn't snatch things from the barbarians, but it will be different later, and after the Northern Zhou regime of the grassland is fully mature, we also have the opportunity to pocket the grassland." So in this matter, Lao Chen thinks that the best way for our Dachu should be to stand by and watch, after all, our Dachu has only been founded for less than fifty years, and it is difficult to say who will win and who will lose in the battle with the grassland after the strength is strong in the future!"

Hearing Cheng Yijie finish speaking, the people who had already made up their minds to stand up were a little hesitant, and they courtiers naturally hoped that Chu Zheng could stop it, once the Northern Zhou regime in the grassland was established, it was destined that there would be a war between Great Chu and the grassland.

But whether they are fighting now or in a few decades, these civil officials do not want to fight, because in the peaceful and prosperous era, there is no need for those military officers except for Rongbian, and now it has taken them nearly 20 years to suppress the prestige of those military generals.

But now even a blind person can see what Chu Zheng thinks in his heart, as a monarch who hopes to become the first emperor of the ages, will Chu Zheng give up the opportunity to subdue the grassland?

In particular, Chu Zheng himself grew up on horseback! If he was still alive and could ride a horse in the future war, Chu Zheng would definitely be able to ride the expedition himself.

Thinking of this, no one dared to touch Chu Zheng's mold, but there was no way to go on like this, so this group of courtiers turned their eyes to their boss - Su Wang.

Feeling the eyes around him, Su Wang only felt uncomfortable, as if there were more than a dozen ants crawling into his clothes, and the most important thing was that one of these ants was put in by the emperor.

However, Su Wang quickly came back to his senses, if this matter is not good, he will be the one who stands up to wipe his ass in the end, and not only the emperor's ass, but also the ass of these ministers.

Thinking of this, Su Wang was shocked into a cold sweat, so he stopped practicing closed-mouth meditation and hurriedly stood up and said.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that we can not rush to stir up the situation in the matter of the establishment of the Northern Zhou Dynasty in the grassland, just like Lord Cheng said, we will neither add fuel to the trouble nor make trouble for them, it is better to watch from the sidelines. However, "

Su Wang's words made those ministers so anxious, obediently, let you stand up to speak for civil officials, but how can you still agree with Cheng Yijie's point of view, which side are you.

However, Su Wang's words have not yet been finished, and like Cheng Yijie, his words are followed by no more than two words.

"However, my so-called cold bystander and Lord Cheng's cold watch are slightly different, with the emperor's ambition and majestic strategy, it is a good thing for the grassland to establish the Northern Zhou, but this matter should not be sooner or later, and it can't be too late, if they wait for everything to be integrated, the threat of the Northern Zhou Dynasty to our Great Chu will be great. ”

After listening to so much analysis, Chu Zheng nodded for the first time, obviously thinking that what Su Wang said was very reasonable.

After the ministers came to their senses, Su Wang continued.

"The emperor is on the other side of the grassland, but there is someone?"

Hearing Su Wang's question, Chu Zheng was obviously stunned for a moment, but after coming back to his senses, he nodded lightly.

"Yes!"

"That's easy to do, since the emperor has someone, it means that we have the initiative, the emperor must know about the changes in the situation of the grassland at any time, if they develop quickly, then we have to find a way to give them some stumbling blocks, and if they develop too slowly, maybe we do have to quietly help, in short, the grassland can establish a regime, but when they build and what they build is up to us!"

Not to mention that Su Wang is the person who is the best at being an official after Zhu Wenran in the previous dynasty, his Tai Chi kung fu is really too good to say, after saying this, not only Chu Zheng is satisfied with finding the answer he wants, but even those Wenchen can already accept this reality.

Now no one dares to stand up and put forward different opinions, but after Su Wang lengthened the cycle of this matter, countless possibilities arose.

According to Su Wang, the establishment of the Northern Zhou Dynasty in the grassland will definitely not be done in five years, in this case, they civil officials will have time to blow the wind in the emperor's ears, maybe he will oppose it that day!

Speaking of this today, there is a result, just now these ministers were too nervous and did not feel hungry, and at this time the body and mind relaxed only to find that they were already hungry with their chests and backs.

However, Chu Zheng didn't prepare a meal for them, and he didn't plan to invite these ministers to a working meal, so these ministers immediately bowed down and retreated when they heard the words "go back" in Chu Zheng's mouth, and they didn't dare to turn around and walk until they left the gate of the council hall.

After the hall was empty, Chu Zheng was not in a hurry to eat, but was still sitting there thinking, although he had already thought of a complete plan in his heart, but he didn't know why there were always some flaws.

"Great Chu!Northern Zhou!Great Chu!Northern Zhou..."

Chu Zheng's mouth repeated these two words over and over again.

"Actually, it would be good if more Beizhou came to herd sheep and horses in the future!"

Speaking of this, Chu Zheng's heart suddenly popped up with two other words: Southern Tang!

"Well, that's a nuisance, too!"

Because if you want to move the grassland, you must first pacify the Southern Tang, and when he and the grassland really start a war, those soldiers on the border of Liaodong are definitely not enough, and they are a little reluctant to even guard the pass, let alone let them fight. At that time, all the soldiers on the border of Youzhou and the Southern Tang Dynasty must be transferred to Liaodong.

I couldn't think of an idea for a while, and Chu Zheng simply didn't want to think about it later, anyway, he believed that there would be a road before the car reached the mountain, and there would definitely be a way to do it then.

After those strange thoughts were no longer in his mind, Chu Zheng took out a piece of paper from under the table, and then took a valuable brush and wrote on that paper.

"It's better to be sooner rather than later, there is a disagreement in every family!"
