Mingwu Empire, the capital, the Daimyo's mansion.

Yesterday in the court, Emperor Ji Hao of Zhengyang had officially adopted Prime Minister Niu Zhi's suggestion and asked the Ten Kings to send troops into the Daimyo's Mansion to serve as the central army of the imperial court.

Moreover, the amount was clearly stipulated, and each prince and king had to send at least 50,000 soldiers to the daimyo's mansion.

Moreover, the food and grass supplies for these 50,000 soldiers, as well as the military salaries and materials, were all provided by the princes and kings.

When this decree was issued, it can be described as an uproar.

The expressions of the ten kings were different.

This kind of requirement is equivalent to asking the princes and kings to send the army to the imperial court at the same time, but also to include the army's grain and grass materials.

No matter who else it is, they can't be willing to do it.

What's more, God knows what the imperial court will do with these 50,000 soldiers.

No matter which prince and king, as long as he can be the king, he is definitely not a fool.

To put it bluntly, they are all old foxes who have been refined for thousands of years, only who is more treacherous than whom, and no one is more stupid than whom.

Chu Yujia and Pu Chengshuang did not enter the palace today, but they also knew what they would say in the court today.

The two sat on the rooftop, looking into the distance.

Pu Chengshuang was the first to speak: "What do you think, what does the imperial court mean by asking for soldiers?"

Chu Yujia said without looking back: "It's nothing more than just two words." ”

Hearing this, Pu Chengshuang asked, "Those two words?"

Chu Yujia slowly turned his head to look at Pu Chengshuang and said with a smile: "Cut the ...... of the domain"

"Cutting the domain?"

Pu Chengshuang frowned and looked at Chu Yujia and said, "Do you really think that the imperial court has that strength?"

Chu Yujia shrugged his shoulders and said, "It is because they don't have that strength that they will ask the princes and kings to send troops to Beijing." ”

Pu Chengshuang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Even if the princes and kings send troops to Beijing, then these soldiers and generals are all princes and kings, do you think they may do something to their masters?"

"Your own master?"

Chu Yujia looked at Pu Chengshuang with an inexplicable face, and that look was like looking at a fool.

Pu Chengshuang was a little unhappy, and said: "If you have something to say, just say it, why do you look at me with such eyes?"

"Huh. ”

Chu Yujia shook his head and sighed: "You are really smart, you are confused for a while, and you don't know the situation in the game......"

Pu Chengshuang asked, "What do you mean?"

"What do you think?"

Chu Yujia pursed his lips and said: "If the ten kings agree to the request of the imperial court, then each of them will send at least 50,000 elite soldiers to the capital, and the ten princes and kings, together they are a full 500,000, who can afford to raise 500,000 troops except for Wu Yue, a treasure land of feng shui?"

"But these 500,000 troops, after all, are all miscellaneous troops. ”

Pu Chengshuang said righteously, "And, as I said before, do you think that these soldiers may be at the disposal of the imperial court to attack their hometown?"

"How else do you say you're stupid?"

Chu Yujia said indifferently: "A very simple truth, for example, today these 500,000 people are outside this imperial court, under the control of you and me, do you think you want to personally lead these 500,000 people to attack Qianshu, who will object?"

"The 50,000 soldiers of Qianshu will definitely oppose it, after all, who ......"

As soon as he was halfway through the words, Pu Chengshuang was stunned, looked at Chu Yujia with a shocked face, and said, "You mean to say that the imperial court wants to ......."

"Alas. ”

Chu Yujia sighed and said: "Now, there are more than 400,000 soldiers and generals recorded in the imperial court, and when the team of the ten kings enters the capital, it will be a full 900,000 armor soldiers, do you think that 900,000 armor soldiers can wipe out the world, or some disobedient vassal states?"

This is a very simple arithmetic problem, 900,000 people, even if you exclude the 50,000 armorers who are unwilling to attack their hometown, there are still 850,000......

There are 850,000 people, and in terms of the discord of the princes in the world, even if the imperial court sends troops to destroy the two disobedient vassal states, the rest of the princes will not say anything.

Maybe they will fight for turf.

When that time comes, it will be the opportunity for the imperial court to intervene.

Chu Yujia narrowed his eyes and said, "Our Emperor Zhengyang is really a little interesting, although he is a Majesty who doesn't care about anything on the surface, but in fact, behind the scenes, everything has already been thought about, and it seems that he has already begun to think about what will happen in a few decades." ”

"That's because he's thinking too much. ”

Pu Chengshuang raised his head and said: "If this is really the case, if you don't say anything about it, I will definitely be able to persuade my king not to send a single soldier." ”

"Does it work?"

"Do you know that once you do this, it will be disobedience to the Son of Heaven, how many of the princes in this world can afford this crime?"

Chu Yujia looked at Pu Chengshuang, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "You really don't seem to know how many people in this world are worried about your territory in the Southern Tang Dynasty." ”

Once he is labeled as a disobedient to the Son of Heaven, he will inevitably be attacked by the princes of the world.

Once upon a time, Dong Min is already the best example.

There are a few princes who are not greedy, and who would not want to get more fiefdoms for justifiable reasons?

Many things, in fact, Pu Chengshuang didn't think too deeply.

It's also related to her personality, she's the kind of person who never knows how to prepare in advance, and only thinks to deal with things when they're in front of them.

But most of the ways to deal with it are casual, and you can do what you want......

In fact, she is more suitable to be a commander-in-chief, specializing in those short-handed or hard-to-go wars.

But to let her participate in these conspiracy, she still lacks some foresight and vision.

It is also because of such a character that she will eventually go that way.

But that's all for later.

"What do you think we should do now?"

"Of course I waited. ”

"When will that be?"

Chu Yujia chuckled and said, "Wait until someone is the first to stand up and reject the Son of Heaven." ”

Hearing Chu Yujia's words, adding Chu Yujia's expression, Pu Chengshuang already understood what Chu Yujia meant.

Once someone takes the lead in standing up against it, then they are just vassals, even if the Son of Heaven is angry, it is impossible to anger a group of people at once.

Even if it was angry, at that time, it was a union of several princes and kings, even if someone stood up to support the Son of Heaven, but in the end it was a confrontation between the alliances of princes and kings.

Once they enter that state, no one will dare to start a war easily, and most of the decrees issued by the imperial court will die abruptly.

Pu Chengshuang thought for a while and said, "Then who do you think will be the first to stand up against it?"

Chu Yujia also thought for a while and said, "Ye Guo......"

When he heard these two words, Pu Chengshuang almost fainted, and his eyes were hard to hide when he cared for the fool.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Since you all know that you were the first to stand up against yourself, you still told me this?"

Pu Chengshuang said with a puzzled face: "You're not talking nonsense?"

"Someone has to say nonsense. ”

Chu Yujia smiled and said, "But you have to know that the situation in Ye Country is different from other countries, we are poor and have to be pants, and the recruitment of soldiers is almost to the point of compulsory recruitment, where are the soldiers and money and food for the imperial court?"

Hearing this, Pu Chengshuang was also speechless.

Because what Chu Yujia said was the truth......

Ye Guo's national conditions are like this, everyone knows it, and the imperial court can't say anything......

But what should they do?
