After laughing, Leng Yiqing really felt that his mood was much more open.

Of course, this is also related to the extremely applicable suggestions that Haoxing Mingrui has just made to him, so that his majesty the emperor can rest his worries for a while.

But he was never willing to let Haoxing Mingrui leave immediately, but he felt that he should squeeze out some more good ways to govern the country from the mouth of this cunning and shrewd guy with extraordinary knowledge.

"What the prince just mentioned, the method of rectifying the border army of the Three Realms is really very much in line with my wishes. Especially the most troublesome Western Route Army, the prince's method is indeed extremely clever!

Tomorrow, I will discuss with the cabinet and strive to pass as soon as possible the proposal that Prince Qing should assist Prince Ding in commanding the Western Route Army. In this way, not only stabilized the western border, but also made all preparations for Prince Ding to send troops to the abyss at any time. ”

Hearing Leng Yiqing say this, Haoxing Mingrui couldn't help but smile, but said in a slightly solemn tone: "Presumably the cabinet will not raise any objections to Prince Qing's assistance in managing the Western Route Army."

But as for the matter of sending troops to Chongyuan, I am afraid that His Majesty cannot be too optimistic. Even if Prince Ding can be on standby at any time, His Majesty's will to send troops is not so easy to promulgate. ”

When Leng Yiqing heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and said, "I understand what the prince means." You know, this is the reason why you have been running around the mansions of several important courtiers recently.

Although you and I both know very well that once Chongyuan is annexed by Beirong, the ultimate victim must be Dayu. But the courtiers and the common people who did not really understand the situation accounted for the vast majority.

All they could think of was that the imperial court planned to spend a lot of military money, sacrifice their sons, and go to a very distant place to fight for a group of strangers. ”

Haoxing Mingrui couldn't help but sigh and said, "Yes." Not to mention ordinary people, even those courtiers who hold heavy power and think they know everything about the major affairs of the court, they have not clearly seen that Dayu is facing this huge crisis that is imminent!

Following the annexation of Chongyuan, the Empress Dowager Yin will inevitably extend her claws to the countries of the Western Regions. And these small countries will naturally not resist like Chongyuan, and will soon be attached to Beirong one by one.

At that time, there will never be a day of stability in the western border of Dayu. Not only is it often harassed by those small countries, but it is also under the attack of the Beirong cavalry at any time.

The most worrying point is that compared to the north, the terrain in the west is flatter and almost impossible to defend, which is especially conducive to the cavalry of Beijung.

Once the western front is broken through, there will be a horse and a flat river behind, and the enemy army in Beirong will take advantage of the momentum of the big victory, and it is very likely to reproduce the siege of Jingyang not long ago.

However, none of this has happened yet, and the solution is not very convincing based on the assumptions we have waited for.

Although I have already moved some courtiers to see the seriousness of the problem, it is only a minority after all. Therefore, once His Majesty proposes to send troops to Chongyuan, I am afraid that he will have to face many doubts and objections. ”

Leng Yiqing nodded silently, not knowing how to solve this problem for a while.

At this time, Haoxing Mingrui suddenly stood up, stepped forward, and put something on the dragon case in front of Leng Yiqing.

"In order to ensure security, you and I decided to keep the Qiankun key separately. Now that I am about to leave Dayu, I should return this Kun key in my hand to Your Majesty. ”

Leng Yiqing looked at the Kun key in front of him, and instantly remembered everything that happened in the underworld that night.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Since the Protector Pillar entered the ground that night, this Qiankun key seems to have lost any effect. And the door of the underworld has never been opened again. Those unknown secrets continue to sink into the ground!"

"However, Ming Rui believes that His Majesty should soon use this Qiankun key to open the door to the underworld. There are some secrets buried there that are difficult to tell to the world, but there are also endless treasures, isn't it?"

Leng Yiqing looked at Haoxing Mingrui in a daze, "You mean——, want me to open the treasure of the underworld?"

"Not bad. Whether it is an expedition to the abyss or the upcoming battle in the north, it will require a lot of military resources to be prepared. With the current abundance of the national treasury, it is absolutely difficult to bear.

Why didn't Your Majesty take precautions and give a countermeasure in advance? In this way, you can naturally block the mouths of those courtiers who resist sending troops on the grounds that the treasury is empty. ”

Leng Yiqing nodded again and again when he heard this, "This is indeed a good idea! ”

Haoxing Mingrui smiled slightly and said, "In this matter, we can only do our best and obey the destiny of heaven." I hope that the sky has eyes, and finally let Chongyuan and Dayu survive this catastrophe together. ”

At this point, he paused for a moment and then turned the subject to something else, "Your Majesty, I have a new idea of how to use this treasure. Do you remember that after the Eastern Navy was dismantled due to the rebellion of the former Dongping Marquis, the security of the eastern region was completely handed over to the coastal state capitals themselves?"

"Not bad. ”

Leng Yiqing immediately took over, "And you also made a suggestion that the imperial court allocate silver taels and appoint a special envoy to urge the local government to build a navy and build a ship."

However, since the household department has not yet raised enough silver taels, this plan can only be tried in Jeju first. Because it was the base of the former Eastern Navy, many things were already ready-made, and the Jeju government only needed to take over them all, but it didn't cost too much.

If you open the Treasure of the Underworld, the silver taels will no longer be a problem, and your previous plan should soon be implemented in all the state capitals along the coast. ”

Haoxing Mingrui nodded with a smile and said, "In addition, I also thought of a solution to the bandit problem in the East China Sea. However, because it has not yet been fully considered, it has not been proposed to His Majesty.

Now that time is pressing, I can only share my thoughts with Your Majesty first. As for how it will be operated in the future, it will still need to be agreed between His Majesty and the Cabinet. ”

Hearing his words, Leng Yiqing couldn't help but move his lips, as if he remembered something. But in the end, he just nodded, and let Haoxing Mingrui continue.

"After carefully considering the reasons for the troubles of the bandits in the East China Sea, I came to a conclusion that I had never thought of before - self-isolation was the main reason.

All along, I've been closing my door to the outside world. In order to make profits, some overseas traders have resorted to smuggling and smuggling. Most of their merchant ships sailed in remote waters, and they lacked sufficient escort forces, so that the most vicious pirates had many opportunities to take advantage of.

Therefore, I think that the imperial court might as well lift the ban and set up a pass to and from the border to trade freely. At the same time as building naval armies, the coastal state capitals can also build some deep-water docks to facilitate the berthing of large foreign ships.

In this way, overseas merchant ships no longer have to be sneaky, and they can have enough escorts on board, and they can even travel in groups. In addition, with our naval army patrolling the coastal waters all year round, it will be difficult for the pirates to have a chance to succeed.

Once it is unprofitable, of course, those bandits will not wait for death, and they should soon disband on their own, and the bandits in the East China Sea will not be wiped out. ”

After listening to Haoxing Mingrui's words, Leng Yiqing nodded frequently, and said happily: "It just so happens that I also received a report from Jeju Mansion today, and the ideas mentioned in it coincide with you!"

When Haoxing Mingrui heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "It seems that after Your Majesty ascended the throne, he has opened up his views and encouraged the new policy, and has received more and more practical results.

In the future, more and more local governors, like Jeju Prefecture, will no longer rest on their laurels and will vigorously put forward more advice to the imperial court that is in line with local politics.

Even if I don't talk in your ears anymore in the future, there will be more courtiers to worry about Your Majesty, brainstorm ideas, and contribute to Dayu!"

Leng Yiqing looked at Haoxing Mingrui, his former enemy and opponent, and now his mentor and friend, and his heart couldn't help but feel all kinds of feelings, and finally turned into deep reluctance.

This farewell, maybe there will be no time to see each other again in this life!

No one can make a truly accurate estimate of the danger that Chongyuan is about to face. The possibility of the fall of the city and the burning of jade exists at any time.

And Haoxing Mingrui should have gone with a heroic mood that will never return.

Therefore, when this fake prince, who had been lying on his salary for more than ten years with an unwavering will, finally made Dayu change the world, got up to say goodbye, His Majesty the Emperor Leng Yiqing also stood up at the same time, stepped forward and held Haoxing Mingrui's hand tightly, and sent him all the way to the gate of the Xuande Palace.

Before parting, Haoxing Mingrui solemnly bowed his hand to him and said: "Your Majesty said that there is often a feeling of walking on thin ice. This shows that you always keep the rich Jiangshan Sheji and the people of Li in your heart. Ming Rui believes that His Majesty will become a generation of virtuous and good monarchs!"

Leng Yiqing didn't say much, but looked at him deeply with a solemn face.

Looking at the back of Haoxing Mingrui striding away, although Leng Yiqing felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavier, but at the same time, a sense of pride rose in his heart.

The eldest husband was born in heaven and earth, and he wants to do his best for the country and the people.

Even if you do your best and die, you will definitely live this life in vain!

Just when His Majesty the Emperor was surging and arrogant, Zhu Mo, the commander of the guards, suddenly bowed to the side and said, "Your Majesty, the little prince has returned to the palace." ”

Leng Yiqing still didn't come back to his senses at this time, and only nodded casually.

But then, Zhu Mo said one more sentence: "The eldest prince sent him back." ”

Leng Yiqing nodded again, but in an instant, his eyes widened suddenly, and he asked urgently, "You mean Han Bing is back, where is he now?"

After he sent the little prince to Yuxiu Palace, he left on his own. ”

"What?!"

Leng Yiqing couldn't help but ask angrily, "Why did you only tell me at this moment?"

Zhu Mo bowed solemnly again and said, "Because His Majesty once ordered that no one should disturb you during the conversation between you and Prince Ding. ”

"I-"

Leng Yiqing suddenly closed his eyes with great regret, stood for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly, "This matter is indeed not the fault of Commander Zhu, it is my temporary anxiety, and it is none of your business." ”

As he spoke, he turned his gaze in the direction outside the palace.

At this time, it was already dark at night, and there were heavy palace walls to cover it, where could I still find the tall and slightly thin figure of the young man?

A feeling of loss struck his Emperor Majesty again......
