spring as old

A thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find.

But all promising masters are those who love talents.Moreover, Wei Xiu's father had a rift with the Wei family, so she must have resentment towards the Wei family, not only would she not mess with the aristocratic family, maybe she even wanted to take revenge.

Such a virtuous person is what the emperor needs.His expression was more gentle, his eyes were shining brightly, and he said: "Your Majesty, please speak clearly."

Wei Xiu smiled inwardly, and still said respectfully: "If the Qiang Rong are not eliminated, there will be endless troubles. Do you think your majesty is the one who chased them out?"

Mr. Wei will cross the river one day and sweep Kyushu.Qiang Rong's rebellion became a thorn in the court, and the emperor would not keep this thorn no matter what. When he went south in the future, he would let the thorn pierce behind him.

The emperor's eyes became brighter, but his face was gentle and calm: "That's right. All the 'non-humans' are living a happy life, but if there is chaos, I will drive them away in one fell swoop!"

"Will your Majesty attack Qi and Song within ten years?" Wei Xiu asked.

The emperor hesitated, within ten years, he will definitely be unable to attack, and the good generals have not yet been won. Now the high positions in the army are all descendants of aristocratic families. With this fight, and military meritorious service, the aristocratic family that he has worked hard to suppress for many years will once again surpass the royal family. If the new monarch is a little weaker at that time, the royal family will become like puppets over time.

In the previous dynasty, that was the case.The lessons learned are not far away, so how can the emperor not worry.

Wei Xiu looked at his face, sneered secretly, and asked, "How about 15 years?"

The emperor's expression became even more gloomy. After 15 years, he may not be alive. Then he will look at the majesty of the new emperor, but looking at his disciples, they are either courageous or courageous, which is really depressing.

The emperor sighed inwardly, and said with a light smile, "You might as well speak out."

After that, he waved his hand to ask for more tea.

Wei Xiu then said: "In 15 years, Wei may not necessarily conquer Qi and Song. But 15 years is enough for Qiang and Rong to revive. The king of the desert and grassland is different from the Central Plains. The force is powerful. It takes only a short while for the Qiang Rong to go out of the pass and choose a new king. With a king, there will be a place for all the troops to return to their hearts. Think about it, Your Majesty, it was a comfortable life in the pass. If you want to be exposed to the sun and rain, you have to sleep in the open air, you have to have nothing to eat, no clothes to cover your body, do barbarians have any resentment in their hearts?"

There must be resentment!Moreover, they enjoyed the wealth and honor in the pass, so they must be even more obsessed with it. The emperor could almost see the continuous harassment, burning, looting and looting at the border at that time, and the loss of life.The emperor snorted softly, showing disdain, but his expression clearly took Wei Xiu's words to heart.

"Qiang Rong was naturally warlike. At that time, the new king will be full of ambitions, and the people will also miss the past. They knock on the door of our country every day. Is there any worry?" Wei Xiu's tone was calm and gentle. When she said this, she looked down at the ground, A smile of unknown meaning flitted across his lips, and suddenly he talked about the battle in Liangzhou, "This battle in Liangzhou shows the corruption in the army. The [-] Wei army collapsed, and it was wrong to pull the army, but the court is not at fault? "

After all, those 3 people died because of party struggle.Is this party dispute a dispute between the king of Zhao and the kings?No, it was King Zhao and the families behind the kings.Does the emperor not know?On the one hand, he really underestimated the military situation in Liangzhou, on the other hand, he did not want to confront the aristocratic family too sharply, and regarded the old general Jiang Tong as a guaranteed retreat. But who knows, in the past ten years, Jiang The old general has long been squeezed out of the military account.

The emperor didn't know anything about such an important matter, which shows how arrogant Liangzhou's deception is.

The aristocratic family has been prosperous for hundreds of years, and it looks dazzling, but in fact it is only for the private interests of the family.They can sell their own kings, but they are still high-ranking officials and nobles in the new dynasty, how can they be subdued in a few decades?It's just that he chose to go dormant under the emperor's means.

Considering what happened in Liangzhou, the emperor's kindness and majesty combined with leniency and strictness made the aristocratic family make concessions, and there is still something that cannot be taken care of, let alone a certain new emperor in the future.

Wei Xiu didn't say a single word about the faults of the kings, but she blackened the kings to nothing, and magnified the incompetence of the kings in the emperor's heart. When seeing the kings in the future, the emperor will inevitably think of her words today, and even the situation created by her father may not be maintained. A worthy prince...

Wei Xiu looked at the emperor with a serene and elegant smile on her lips, not like a sinister adviser who calculated people's hearts, but like an elegant hermit picking chrysanthemums.

The emperor listened to Wei Xiu's words, even though this person was not in the court, he saw the affairs of the court clearly and thoroughly, and even pointed out his hidden worries, hitting the key points, without any mistakes.There may not be two such people among the ministers who go to the court day by day!

The emperor was very happy, he laughed and said: "Sir is my confidant, what you say is a serious problem in my heart."

Wei Xiu smiled and shook her head to show that she didn't dare to take it seriously, but she didn't say a word.

The emperor raised his glass: "When you know yourself, you should be clear about it. If there is no wine at this time, replace it with tea!"

After all, let's do it first.

Wei Xiu also drank.

Putting down the teacup, the emperor asked again with concern: "As Mr. said, if you drive away the Qiang and Rong, there will be endless troubles. If you can integrate into the Han people, what should you do?"

Wei Xiu said: "Untie your braids and wear a crown, remove the felt fur and wear Han clothes, live in mixed residences of Han people, allow Hu and Han to intermarry, allow Hu people to enter official careers, treat them like Han people. If you have a sense of belonging, your hometown becomes your hometown."

Every time she said a small sentence, the emperor's expression became more focused, and when he finished speaking, the emperor hit the desk and said: "Such words!"

If we act according to Wei Xiu's words, the Hu people will become Han people, turning the crisis into invisible.Not only that, the barbarians are good at fighting, and in the future they will be recruited, and this group of people can even serve as an elite army.

But when he thought of the embarrassment here, the emperor gradually frowned. If the court would not agree, the family would definitely hinder it, and it would not be easy to implement it.

This matter needs to be considered in the long term.

Wei Xiu lowered her head, held the teacup, and gently brushed away the young leaves floating on the surface.

The emperor looked at her and said with a smile: "Sir, if you have such a plan, why don't you facilitate it for the court? It's a good start and a good end." If she can think of this method, there must be a way to implement it. If not, it will be useless. , she would not say it so frankly.

The emperor was right, Wei Xiu did have a solution.But she won't do it on her own.

She put the teacup on the table and said with a smile: "Xiu Yi is a scholar, he can only talk on paper. If such a big matter is entrusted to me, His Majesty may be disappointed."

The emperor smiled and shook his head: "How can you be humble, sir? With your ability, given time, you will surely become a famous official of a generation."

Wei Xiu lowered his head and smiled, carefully concealing the deep hatred in his eyes, and said: "All famous ministers are divided into three categories, one is the ministers who govern the world, the other is the ministers who help the world, and the third is the ministers who are in troubled times. Your Majesty thinks , if Xiu is a famous minister, who should he be?"

I don't know why she asked this question, the emperor was puzzled, but he also said in a fair manner: "Sir, you should be a minister who manages the world." The state of Wei has been established, and she can't be a minister who saves the country from troubled times, nor can she be a minister who tries to destroy the country in troubled times. Minister, naturally only the minister who manages the world remains.

Wei Xiu shook her head, "Your Majesty is wrong. All I can do is to create chaos in the country."

Hearing this, the emperor's heart skipped a beat. He looked at Wei Xiu with a sharp look in his eyes, as if he wanted to cut off the calm mask on her face and see her true face.He smiled dangerously, and asked, "Why did you say that, sir?"

The atmosphere suddenly became full of strings, making people nervous.

Wei Xiu watched the emperor instinctively defend himself when he heard about the troubled times. He worked so hard to gain the throne, but he also worked so hard to worry about losing his country like a frightened bird.Really poor.

She is like a hunter deliberately teasing her prey, like a soldier carefully licking the blood from the knife edge, knowing that if she is not careful, she will be bitten by the prey, knowing that if she is not careful, her tongue will be cut by the sharp blade, she is still Couldn't help it, maliciously wanted to see the panic in the emperor's heart.

Wei Xiu had seen enough, so she calmly said: "I know some art of governing the country, but I am better at the way of disrupting the country. When I go south in the future, I would like to disrupt Qi and Song for the Great Wei. Before that, Xiu would like to study behind closed doors."

It turned out that she was aiming at the battlefield, the emperor suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, as if a big stone had been put down in his heart, he leaned back, and the dragon embroidered with gold thread on his robe moved accordingly, like a living Come here in general.He looked at Wei Xiu, smiled and said relaxedly: "There will always be a day when you can show your grand plans."

Wei Xiu bowed slightly: "May it be as Your Majesty said."

"Speaking of it, that's a matter of the future. What's important now is how to arrange the hundreds of thousands of Qiang soldiers. Do you have a good plan?" The emperor leaned forward and asked.

"Turn resistance into motivation." Wei Xiu said.

Hearing this, the emperor was puzzled at first, and then he suddenly became enlightened. He couldn't help laughing: "Sir, you are indeed a wonderful person. Alas, if you are in front of the army, you must have a lot of clever tricks."

A eunuch came in from outside the door, he paid his respects first, and then said: "Your Highness Puyang, please see Your Majesty."

The emperor was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "I came in such a hurry, I haven't said a few words to Wei Qing." He said so, but he said in the next sentence: "Let Qiniang come in."

The eunuch also responded with a smile, and stepped back quickly.

Wei Xiu turned to look at the gate of the palace, and then turned back to see the emperor looked at the gate of the palace tenderly and lovingly, and then told the eunuch next to him: "Go and make a cup of hot tea."

Pu Yang came in soon, her clothes were covered with fine raindrops, her temples were black and wet.

It is raining again.The spring rain contains moisture, drinking a cup of hot tea is just enough to get rid of the cold.Wei Xiu bent towards Pu Yang, Pu Yang saw that she was well-behaved and His Majesty looked happy, so he heaved a sigh of relief, sat beside the emperor, and said to him: "Did you disturb Dad's conversation?"

"Not at all." The emperor laughed, shaking his half-white beard, and asked carefully, "Where did you go?"

Pu Yang started to answer, the palace servants here offered hot tea, and Pu Yang also took it, as if he already knew that the emperor prepared it for her, he thanked with a smile.

Wei Xiu watched from the side, and the princess showed a rare delicacy like a little girl, and she also disliked the tea being too strong and bitter, which was very different from usual, but it was still lovable.

Seeing the father and daughter enjoying themselves happily, she felt as if her heart had been stabbed and the pain was severe.

The princess is innocent, Wei Xiu thought, but the general trend, those who die are often innocent people.
