Sheng Shi Merciful Light

Tuoba Yingkuo heard that Mu Ci said that he was not far from death, neither surprised nor angry, he just laughed at himself and said: "20 years of achievements will be wasted once. What you hope for in a lifetime will be completely rested in one day. The blessed land of the Central Plains is difficult to take over. The country is about to be overthrown, unable to return to heaven...die? Hahahaha...hahahaha..."

Tuoba Yingkuo couldn't stop laughing, blood oozed from the abdominal wound, and tears crawled all over his cheeks.

Mu Ci's cough couldn't stop, she covered her mouth with Mei Rong's handkerchief, and finally coughed up a little blood...

Tang Yuzhou looked at the bright red streaks on the white handkerchief, and was startled and anxious: "Your Highness!" He said to the outside world, "Send the imperial physician quickly!"

Mu Ci waved her hands, breathing too fast to speak.

Mei Rong said to Tang Yuzhou: "Don't be nervous, Marquis Xin'an, Doctor Le Liang is waiting outside, it's all right." He knew Mu Ci's body best, and he was afraid that the coughing too quickly tore the small blood vessels, and it wasn't a serious illness.

Tuoba Yingkuo stopped laughing, he didn't know, but he always knew that the king of Chu was not in good health and was plagued by diseases.He suddenly felt an indescribable sadness.

"Beauties are twilight, heroes are at their end", this is the saddest thing in the world.

In fact, he didn't hate Mu Ci, he had studied his opponent, and losing at the hands of such a person really didn't make him feel too angry.

If there is no Mu Ci, the former Prince Bao ascends the throne, the outcome may be uncertain.

Tuoba Yingkuo's thoughts were disturbed, and finally it turned into a question: "I just want to know, where did I lose?"

Mei Rong finally took out a bottle and put it under Mu Ci's nose for him to smell it, refreshing and relieving cough.Mu Ci felt better, breathed a sigh of relief, and only said two words.

"The big picture!"

An idea flashed in Tuoba Yingkuo's mind, but he couldn't catch it. He seemed to understand, but he couldn't see clearly. He cupped his hands at Mu Ci: "If you don't hesitate to teach me, please ask the king of Chu to explain this dying person to me." Confuse."

Mu Ci beckoned, Tang Yuzhou removed the tea cup and dessert plate, and Mei Rong spread out an unfinished world map, on which was a sketch of the entire planet drawn by combining the descriptions and records of the Messiah and other barbarians.

Tuoba Yingkuo looked at it: "This..."

"Have you ever thought that when you go farther, there will be more mountains and rivers, people's livelihood and customs, withered vegetation and frost over time?" Mu Ci asked.

Tuoba Yingkuo was almost lying on the map, his eyes are a little blurry recently.

"Your eyes are only on Daxing, on the surrounding land; your so-called ambitions are nothing more than plundering the wealth of the Central Plains, dreaming of the beauties of the country; the means you use are only conspiracy and destruction, rather than creating and developing."

Tuoba Yingkuo felt severe pain from the wound in his abdomen, and sat down covering the wound. He smiled wryly: "Don't you have any conspiracy or plunder? Not to mention how much I have ended up today, how many of them contributed to the flames. Just say three Thai three The surnames are the same, you sell weapons to Tai and Li Dynasty, and teach them how to dry salt without coasts, isn’t it a conspiracy? Also, you asked Xiliang to borrow money for war reparations, destroying our country’s strength, don’t you have a clear conscience?”

Mu Ci was not questioned, he said: "It is right for the Xiliang country to scold me. If Xiliang praises my benevolence, I should reflect on myself and be ashamed of my heart. It is only because of the kindness I receive every year. Three meals a day, covered with tiles, are all served by the Daxing people. I am the Daxing King of Chu, not the Chu King of Xiliang. My duty and obligation is to make the Daxing Dynasty prosperous and peaceful within a hundred years, and make it famous all over the world. Thousands of years later, the glory of the empire will shine brightly on the stars."

Tuoba Yingkuo was speechless.

Mei Rong remembered that "our goal is the stars and the sea", and it was true.He looked at Mu Ci obsessively, and felt that his man was really bold, confident and charming.

"I'm also for Xiliang, why can't I make it?" Tuoba Yingkuo rarely showed a trace of fragile confusion.

"If I'm not the lucky king of Chu, I'm you, the fifth prince of Xiliang." Mu Ci said, making Tuoba Yingkuo look over carefully, and he clicked on the location of the king city of Xiliang, "We must win the throne first. "

Tuoba Yingkuo frowned. The king of Chu took the initiative to give the throne to the current Emperor Deguang. This is something everyone knows. Why did he want to snatch the throne when he came to Xiliang?

"Because your elder brother is worthless to cooperate with. He is greedy and stupid. He is jealous of the virtuous and capable. He can't be united as a brother and become your strong backing. Instead, he is holding you back. Therefore, the first step is to replace him." Mu Ci said.

It was only then that Tuoba Yingkuo remembered that Mu Ci also killed a violent prince, and he did not abdicate blindly.Tuoba Yingkuo had to admit that he was not as good as Mu Ci in teaching his brother.

"The second step is to make friends with Daxing instead of uniting the four countries to turn against Daxing. The gain outweighs the loss." Mu Ci did not give Tuoba Yingkuo a chance to speak, and said, "Because of Xiliang's geographical location, it cannot get better development. 11 years ago, if you were not so eager for quick success, you could have taken advantage of the great situation that your 'Master Qilin' opened in Tianjing City, formed an alliance with Daxing, and then provoke the relationship between Bei Rong and Da Xing, watching them fight to the death, relying on Da Xing to consume Bei Rong Rong Guoli, and then gradually nibbled away, sitting on the ground with Daxing to share the spoils, and brought more than half of Beirong into the territory first. In the next 20 years, he will recuperate, encourage birth, further trade with Daxing, and even build an island on the northern coast for sea trade. When the national strength is strong, you can try to influence Daxing’s political situation and even the successors of the country. One day, Daxing’s national strength is weak, which is your chance. If you can’t enter the Central Plains, at least you can dominate one side. Then teach your children well, the future can be expected .”

Tuoba Yingkuo thought about such a future, and with his "Kirin son" wisdom, he could indeed do it, but back then, he was still young and energetic after all.

"Twelve years ago, your failure was not only due to internal instability and quick success, but also failure to reach a real alliance of interests with the four countries." After Mu Ci said this, he began to cough again, and Tuoba Yingkuo couldn't help but offer a cup of tea give him.

Mu Ci also picked it up, took a sip to moisten his throat, and then said: "Twelve years ago, your alliance could only fight with the wind, and you would continue to fight until you plundered property. If you are blocked by my father, you will have no more trouble." Give them great benefits, draw big cakes on paper, and the alliance will naturally disintegrate and be broken by each one."

Tuoba Yingkuo knew about this disadvantage in his early years, and he was thoughtful when he heard the words.

Mu Ci said again: "Besides, why did I sell weapons to Tai and Li Chao? Because Li Chao is from the Central Plains, San Tai will eventually be included in the Daxing territory. I dare say, I am not afraid of you telling Tai and Li Chao. You think they are not Do you know my intention of selling weapons and salt patents? But now they are riding a tiger. If they don’t defeat the other two surnames, they will defeat Daxing... They have no choice. Benefits, let it profit all the time, and sooner or later it will be integrated into the Daxing economic circle. If it is ungrateful and rebellious, it is even better, Daxing has a reason to send troops."

Tuoba Yingkuo had already tasted the consequences of sending out troops. A war indemnity was reduced to Wuzhishan.And the worst thing is that Mu Ci is still unwilling to destroy the country. He cuts the flesh with a blunt knife and slowly sucks the blood and sucks the marrow. There is no trouble in governing Xiliang after the country is destroyed.

Tuoba Yingkuo asked again: "Then you let people enter Nanzhi to plant oil palms, and cooperate with Linyi to make frosting sugar, is it also for the purpose of incorporating them into the territory one day?"

Tuoba Yingkuo seemed hopeless, but he knew that his appearance was mostly tossing on purpose, not without a chance, so he wanted to listen to what Mu Ci had to say, and learn a thing or two.

When the food was served, Tang Yuzhou took advantage of the waiter to wink at Mu Ci to tell Mu Ci not to say too much to Tuoba Yingkuo.He knows best how difficult this "Kirin Man" is, and he doesn't miss any chance.

Mei Rong, however, is still there, serving dishes to Mu Ci.

While eating, Mu Ci said: "According to your pattern, you only think of how to plunder resources from Nanzhi and other countries, and kill chickens to get eggs. But Daxing doesn't plunder anyone, only brings win-win and development. Nanzhi's current oil palm The area of ​​planted land exceeds half of their land, so I banned further development, turned to explore the planting of other agricultural products, and worked hard to maintain the country's water and soil, so that Nanzhi can develop sustainably, and it can become a lucky oil and granary for thousands of years .This is not a temporary gain. First, I will continue to fish, and second, I will not let the two countries suffer. Instead, I will cooperate and create wealth together. If there is a future with great luck, there will be a future for Nanzhi and Linyi. Need a little economic sanctions, and then use a powerful navy to block the coast. They can’t consume so much oil palm food in their own country. They don’t need to be lucky. Sugar is just one of the specialty products, and more products will be planted in the future. But Linyi Peninsula is wrapped in great fortune." Mu Ci pointed to the designated Haizhou, and then looked at Mei Rong, eyes full of rewards, " The significance of Dinghaizhou to Daxing is not just the one percent that can be seen now."

Tuoba Yingkuo also had to sigh, having Mu Ci is enough, and there are countless more outstanding talents around him.

At this time, Tuoba Yingkuo didn't know that what Mei Rong did now, especially the contribution to Dinghai Prefecture, was hailed as a move that "laid the foundation for the expansion of the Daxing Dynasty" thousands of years later, and was hailed as One of the "greatest feats".

"The interests are so closely linked, whether the two countries are included in the territory is not the most important thing. This is the overall situation, Tuoba, you were wrong from the beginning. You only want to pick the fruit, and you don't hesitate to damage the tree or even cut it off. Eat the fruit for a season, and then? Why not take good care of it and fertilize it so that the tree grows bigger and more lush, so that there are fruits to pick every year?"

Tuoba Yingkuo fell silent.

Mu Ci hit the nail on the head and pointed out: "Whether it is win-win or development, the biggest confidence that all my strategic strategies can achieve is the strength of Daxing. Therefore, all the efforts I make serve the highest ultimate goal—— Make Daxing stronger. You lost miserably, not only because you didn't have a big picture, but also because of your reliance—Xiliang Kingdom is not strong enough and has no room for development."

Tuoba Yingkuo only hated being born at the wrong time and would not be reincarnated.

"Tuoba, I will keep you in Daxing for at least ten years. In these ten years, you can learn slowly by my side." Mu Ci said with a calm voice, "Your elder brother is too much, in fact, I never wanted to trap you in In my backyard, I disdain to destroy an enemy by means of destroying one's reputation."

Tuoba Yingkuo snorted coldly in his heart, he was eunuched, if there was no conspiracy by Mu Ci, he would not have believed it.But he didn't show it.

But Mu Ci didn't care, and he wasn't afraid of something wrong with Tuoba Yingkuo. He said, "Brother, what happened was an accident. Although you planned viciously, it was someone else who really thought of viciously. If you stabbed yourself, it would be considered a crime." My grievances are cancelled. We will make an agreement. After ten years, I will set you free, and I will send you some supplies when you go back to China or wherever you go. Moreover, after ten years, I will not merge Xiliang into the territory. Intend."

"What about the conditions?" Big cakes will not fall from the sky for nothing.

"In the past ten years, watch more, listen more, learn more, think more, and do less! Don't play tricks. You know, even if you can contact Xiliang's own country, it won't be of much use. But if you mess up again, I won't guarantee you Your life is safe." Mu Ci said, "In addition, facilitate the Xiliang peace talks, agree to my conditions, and start the trade between the two countries."

Tuoba Yingkuo was entangled. If it was good for his country, it would be better not to pay a penny. In fact, he already had a plan, and he planned to take a chance on his life so that the compensation would be settled.

but……

He knew that the king of Chu was a man of promise, if he said he would let her go, he would let him go, if he said he would not merge into Xiliang, he would not.Also let him watch and learn more by his side, the benefits are endless.

Tuoba Yingkuo didn't know how to choose, he should choose the country in a righteous way, after all, he ended up like this only for the country.But in his heart...why should he sacrifice himself to fulfill the elder brother who caused him so far?

Tuoba Yingkuo closed his eyes and fell into the most difficult choice in his life.

"Choose slowly." Mu Ci and Mei Rong had dinner, and asked Tang Yuzhou, who had already been dumbfounded, to also eat.

……

In the end, Tuoba Yingkuo had the answer and said, "I agree, you must keep your promise after ten years. Also, I must know...why? What do you want me to do in ten years? Please tell the truth. "

Mu Ci said: "Bei Rong!"

Tuoba Yingkuo squinted his eyes, and there was a flash of light in his eyes.

"Bei Rong?"

Mu Ci reveals Gu: "We will only carry out bilateral trade with Xiliang, and we have never discussed with Beirong, because they will not give Sui tribute, and I will not make concessions. I can let you manage Xiliang's trade zone, you As a middleman, buy Beirong’s horses and wool, and I will teach you the skills of removing the smell and making mutton jerky and other by-products. In order to pursue greater benefits, Beirong will definitely raise more sheep and less horses. After all, the pasture is only so big Invisibly adjust their industrial structure and weaken their combat power. In addition, in a buyer's market, you can lower the purchase price at will... Fortunately, Xiliang absorbs the national power of Xiliang, why can't Xiliang absorb Beirong?"

Tuoba Yingkuo's eyes sparkled.If you really let him absorb it, it will definitely not be absorbed into the hands of his elder brother in Xiliang, but to strengthen his own power.

It really turned around in front of my eyes.

but……

"Really let me take care of it? Don't worry?"

Mu Ci asked bluntly, "What are you going to do to make me worry?"

Tuoba Yingkuo raised his hands: "No! I swear!" He knew well that with Mu Ci, he only had this one chance, and if he messed up with a trick, Mu Ci would not give him a second chance , so...he will definitely be obedient...at least for the next ten years.

"According to my pace, after ten years, Bei Rong will be divided up." Mu Ci said.Beirong is too big and a nomad.Fortunately, if the army attacked, the gains would outweigh the losses... Mu Ci never traded at a loss.

Tuoba Yingkuo thumped the table: "Deal!"

……

Tuoba Yingkuo left, and when he left, his back was straight, confident and calm, and he regained his demeanor of "Kirin Son", without the slightest bit of decadence and vicissitudes pretending to be weak, he is dying.

Tang Yuzhou said depressedly: "I was almost cheated by him again."

Mu Ci just sneered.

Mei Rong also smiled... Tang Yuzhou saw that they were smiling meaningfully, so he immediately knew the trick, and came over to ask, "Do you have any backup?"

Mu Ci took it for granted, "Isn't it strange that there is no backup?"

"Tell me what is it?"

Mei Rong took out another sheepskin map from her sleeve and put it on top of the world map: "Tuoba Yingkuo's vision has already determined his future. And Daxing's future will be even longer with our king here. "

Tang Yuzhou looked at a huge area in the north of Beirong and west of Xiliang, marked with a name - Costa Empire.

Mei Rong put her arms around Mu Ci's waist, and said to Tang Yuzhou, "Actually, this is the real big picture in our king's eyes."

The author has something to say: Although Mu Ci let Nanzhi plant oil palm and Linyi Peninsula to make sugar, although it is to adjust the industrial structure and make them more dependent on Daxing, they will not exhaust their resources.Mu Ci's approach has always been win-win, with common interests, long-term cooperation can lead to development instead of hatred and destruction.

And wool, everyone ordered the wrong wax.Not to deal with Xiliang, but to deal with Beirong through Xiliang.If Tuoba really strangled Beirong to death, the hatred between the two countries would deepen and they would also fight.The pressure on the Taiko border was diverted.
