Self-cultivation of male support

Shi Yan thought well, he really didn't have any special ambition to be emperor, he could do whatever.

More importantly, it feels like his father has finally found his status, that is the rhythm of being an emperor, and the attitude of being an emperor.

His father really wanted to do something for the people of the world. Now that his father has this heart, this opportunity, and this ability, he doesn't want to waste his time in vain.

Maybe things didn't come to him, but he could still turn a blind eye and clean the door for himself.But today, his father has already started to do it, so he can't stop.

Shi Yan is willing to help his father fulfill his wish, for this reason, his father must always be the emperor, and as the crown prince, when he gets older in the future, he cannot have any conflicts with his father because of the throne.

It's a pity that this conversation ended very quickly, his father didn't wait for him to finish his words, and didn't listen to his hype reasons, he just told him in a very thoughtful tone: "Ah Yan, there is nothing in this world except you, Dad Who else can you trust?

In my father's heart, these things at hand are too difficult, and the resistance I will encounter in the future will be a hundred times and a thousand times that of the present. It is too hard.Everything I do now is my father's idea, what I want to do for this country and this world, maybe it can also be said that it is my desperate gamble.

but not yours.

You can have your own ideas without worrying about your father's feelings.

It is true that father believes that one day, when father is gone, these things are entrusted to you, and you can continue to carry out according to father's ideas, and even do better than father.

But these are not your thoughts, nor your original intention.

Father only wishes that in his lifetime, he can do what he wants to do, and leave you a good situation where your wishes can come true. No one can restrain you, no one can threaten you, not even your family, country, and world.

When you sit on this throne, what you see is the prosperity of the world, the warmth of the four seasons, and you don't have to worry about too many things. "

Of course, what the emperor didn't say was that with him at the forefront, Shi Yan would always be the prince. If these things succeeded, the prince's credit would naturally be known to the world. Carried by him alone.

Even now, the emperor at the front must be facing the greatest pressure, and the prince can relax a lot by hiding behind him.

Shi Yan's love for his son moved Shi Yan, and the result of Shi Yan's move was that after a whole year of preparation, Shi Yan finally released those people from Zhexian clan from the dark guard camp.

This time, he will personally lead these people to form his own army and go to war.

The target of the campaign: all the neighbors of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The Zhou Dynasty that Shi Yan is currently in is a great dynasty in the hinterland of the Central Plains. There are countless small countries around it. Some small people are tough and disobedient. They plunder the people of the Zhou Dynasty at the border every year, largely by robbing the border of the Zhou Dynasty. The people live their lives.

Although some small countries are small, they have a superior geographical location. The country itself has abundant natural resources, and almost no labor is required. The mountains and fields can produce countless grains. There has never been a famine or starvation.

There are also countries that are rich in mineral resources or rich in spice resources.

These small countries have a characteristic, that is, they control the resources needed by the rich Zhou Dynasty, and by trading these resources with the Zhou Dynasty every year, they can make their country rich from top to bottom.

Even because of the uniqueness of their resources, they often open their mouths like lions. Almost all the people in the whole country are supporting them. Now, in many surrounding countries, from the nobles to the common people, they all know that the people of the Zhou Dynasty are rich and generous. , Zhou Dynasty people are easy to deceive.

If they don't want it, they can pick two handfuls of spices that pigs don't eat on the road, and they can exchange for a small silver ingot from the Zhou Dynasty.

Before Shi Yan set off, he persuaded the emperor in this way.

"Father, no matter whether you are reforming or amending the law, you need money as a backing. We all know that this is an incalculable number. This is also one of the reasons why the courtiers strongly opposed it, because it cannot be changed or repaired.

The silver taels obtained by copying the entire martial arts are not enough in the face of these reforms.

I have already looked through the dossiers and materials of the transactions with Fanbang over the years. Facts have proved that Fanbang is a vampire lying on the people in my court and sucking blood. One-third of the annual tax revenue of the court and the people all flows into Fanbang.

And they raise the price every year, and we have no power to resist.If this continues, I will be dragged to death because of these scarce resources. "

The emperor was also very worried about this matter: "It's not that father doesn't want to take care of these things, but there are priorities, let's solve the internal problems first, and then find a way to eliminate external problems.

During the period of Emperor Xiandi, someone in the imperial court proposed to start trade with foreign countries, and sent several groups of envoys to discuss this matter.But those foreign countries are not stupid, they know what is best for them.

Doing the only business in the whole world, the price is set by them, and they don't want to have unnecessary contacts with us. "

Shi Yan then said: "It's not that we don't want to spend money to buy their country's resources, but that over the years, the prices have become more and more outrageous. If this continues, after all the tax revenue of our country flows into foreign countries, all but the poor and accumulated Weak, the country is ruined and the family is destroyed, is there any other ending?

Dad, all fairness is made with fists, soaked in blood, and stepped out with iron hooves. There is no real fairness in this world. Let my son try it and give us big Zhou played a fair trade opportunity.

My army is lightly armed, and the number of people is not large. I have already prepared food and grass supplies, so there is no need for the court to worry about it.

Even if it fails, it doesn't matter in the overall situation, but if it succeeds, it will be a major event that will benefit the present and benefit the future. "

Of course, what Shi Yan didn't say was that the above were indeed his reasons for going to war, but the most important one was to divert the main domestic conflict.

With him bouncing around the border, the courtiers would not be all focused on his father's reforms and revisions, and the pressure would be much less.

The emperor was very moved by his son's heart, but he disagreed with his son's statement: "In the overall situation, it really doesn't matter, but for you personally, you can't get rid of the reputation of being a great success."

Shi Yan said very freely: "Who is the son? The best master in the world!

How did this name come about?They were murdered out of the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood, and the number of people who died at the hands of their son Swordsman could be as many as two mountains.

Even if the big guys don't say anything on the face now, is there no such thing as a murderous label?

What's the difference between being overjoyed and killing people like hemp? "

The emperor was speechless for a while. Although his son was very good in his heart, it couldn't stop his son's achievements from being real.

But he was still worried: "This master of the rivers and lakes is two different things from leading troops to fight, why don't you think about it again?"

He had thought about it a long time ago. He didn't understand leading troops to fight, but isn't there someone who understands?

"Didn't General Wang, who was injured by his son's kick, be suspended for a year? Later, if you ask him to suspend for another year, I will borrow it first."

What Shi Yan really wanted to do, the emperor couldn't stop him at all.

So on a sunny and clear morning, the ministers were already ready to continue the battle with the emperor for [-] rounds, and to carry the wrangling to the end. Unexpectedly, when the emperor opened his mouth, he announced with a blank face got a message.

The prince led troops to the border to fight against the small kingdom of Fanbang!

It's been three full days!

Specifically, which direction is southeast and northwest?I don't know!

Which country should we target first?I don't know!

Which soldier did you use?The Ministry of War said that there has been no transfer of soldiers recently!

Where is the food mobilized from and sent to?I don't know!

Who is the general?Who is the vanguard?Who will coordinate it?What is the marching route?

I don't know anything!

The emperor only told them indifferently: "Take it as a secret quick march. You just need to know that there is such a thing, and you can do whatever you want now. Let's continue to discuss about the ban on women's feet binding mentioned yesterday." thing.

All women's feet are bound, and they need someone to help them even stand. Is it true that the fields in this world are only cultivated by men? "

The following ministers thought to themselves: Your Majesty!When is it, do you still care about whether other women's women have feet bound?

This is burning the ass!

Don't we know the harmfulness of the surrounding foreign countries to our dynasty?

No!We know it better than anyone!

But why don't we solve it?

Of course it's because it can't be solved!

Do you know why those foreigners can do business with us with their mouths open and their mouths open?

It is because the terrain they are in is easy to defend and difficult to attack. In the desolate Gobi Desert, our army soldiers will get lost if they break into it, and they will die of thirst and starvation. How can we talk about fighting?

The forest is full of miasma. Our soldiers will get sick as long as they enter it. Malaria alone is so contagious that it can kill an army.

There are also countries on small islands that go ashore once every two months. In the vast sea, there is no experienced person to guide the way. Let alone finding someone else’s small island, it is common to lose yourself in the sea. How long will it take? Going out to sea every month, and resolutely not going out for a few months, are all particular, it doesn’t mean that you can be carefree if you are good at kung fu!

Do you really think that you are number one in the world, so you don't pay attention to the people in the world?

Besides, Your Highness, you waved your sleeves and led the people away, leaving us to fight face to face with His Majesty every day, and none of us could make peace in the middle. This speed must be reassessed!

Also, Your Highness, you left without saying hello. Wasn't it all a waste of effort to kill you and drive apart your father and son?How long are you going to leave?So that we have a spectrum in our hearts!

The courtiers had a lot of thoughts in their hearts and thought a lot.

The emperor obviously felt that the courtiers lost a little energy when they fought with him today, and the fighting power was collectively reduced.

Let him worry about his son's old father's heart less torment, and even put out [-]% of his strength to fight these old guys. This is an opportunity his son finally won for himself. If you don't grasp it, I'm sorry The son who eats wind and drinks sand outside, is sick and climbs snow.

"Eating wind and drinking sand, climbing snow while sick? Impossible."

General Wang Wang Datou, who was led by Shi Yan with a big trumpet all over the capital, was lying in the house specially prepared by Yuelin State for the prince of Yipin County, enjoying the service of a beauty.

Feeling comfortable, he just wanted to sigh, and said to himself that I have fought battles for so many years, and this is really the only time, and it is the most unique and knowledgeable one!I thought that I would be able to show off my skills when I came, and let the prince know our skills. After returning to Beijing, it is just around the corner to become an official.

Who is thinking? !

Who would have thought that our people disguised themselves as merchants traveling across mountains and rivers all the way, took the medicine prepared by His Highness in advance, and took the medicine pack, and actually passed through this vast no-man's land smoothly and arrived at the capital of Yuelin Kingdom.

As the steward of the caravan, His Royal Highness was summoned by the king because the tribute was valued by the king.

Later, I didn't know what His Highness said to the king. It was said that a special spice was given to the king, and then the king's insomnia was cured.

Then, His Royal Highness, the crown prince of the Zhou Dynasty, became the first-rank county king of Yuelin Kingdom, and was entitled to enter the palace to meet the king every day.

Recently, these people have been lying in His Royal Highness’s county mansion during the day, dreaming and dreaming, looking like country bumpkins who have never seen the world, and at night, they are all night owls, turning into loyal servants who are loyal and optimistic about a certain prince, and who are wholeheartedly thinking about the prince, tell them:

"Our county king's medical skills are extraordinary. He recently served the king and found out that the king's life is not long! The county king is biased towards you in his heart, thinking that only you can lead our Yuelin country, prince, you should make plans early! "

As for whether it is really not long, according to His Highness, it is.

Whether it's true or not, the hell knows!Anyway, His Royal Highness said that it will not be long, and it will take a long time to make it look like a short time to let the prince and princess see the evidence.

Wang Datou sighed in his heart: "I've lived so long, I can see everything in my life!"

Thinking in this way, the county king Shi Yan was carried home in a sedan chair by eight people. Shi Shiran passed by Wang Datou and gave him a veiled look. Enjoy the service of the maid.

So that night, there was a splendid drama of coercing the palace in the palace of Yuelin Kingdom. The king's eight sons and five daughters were all dispatched, and they fought in the palace until it was dark and chaotic.

In the end, the ninth son who came out of nowhere, who had already grown up and was born to the first queen, took advantage of it, used iron and blood to clean up a bunch of brothers and sisters, and successfully ascended to the throne.

When the throne was not yet secure, the first thing he did was to send his father's "favorite" Shiyan County King to the Great Zhou Dynasty to discuss business matters with the Great Zhou Dynasty.

After the court received the news that Yuelin Kingdom, represented by King Shiyan County, had come to discuss trade matters, all the courtiers opened their mouths so wide that they could stuff two salted duck eggs.

After the "Shiyan County King" took the envoys of the Yuelin Kingdom to the post house to rest, there was a complete quarrel in the courtroom. No one thought that this matter would be successful, and it would be successful in this way.

"First of all, entering the hinterland of Yuelin Kingdom is a life-threatening problem. Without the homemade pills made by the people of Yuelin Kingdom, it would be difficult for us to enter the core area before and we would die. I wonder how Your Highness did it?"

"Secondly, as a foreigner, how to win the trust of King Yuelin is another problem. I wonder how His Highness did it?"

"Once again, King Yuelin is physically strong, and it is too difficult to provoke his children to fight among themselves. I wonder how His Highness did it?"

A group of courtiers gathered around the messenger sent by Shi Yan, and each of them asked a question, and the heads of the people who asked it were overwhelmed.

It is believed that what the messenger knows is also very limited!There are some things that Wang Datou only knows roughly, and only Shi Yan and his confidant Hang Yunsan know the specifics, and he can only say what he knows and what Shi Yan asked everyone to tell.

"Your Highness said that he is now the first-rank county king of Yuelin Kingdom, representing the interests of Yuelin Kingdom and discussing the opening of business with the Great Zhou Dynasty. The bottom line of Yuelin Kingdom is like this... exceeding this bottom line will... It is acceptable to fluctuate on this amount...you can figure it out!"

Yue Lin Guo: Are you a spy sent by the enemy?

Great Zhou Dynasty: Well done!

It was clear to everyone that the Yan County King of Yuelin State who appeared in front of them was no longer their highness, but where is his highness now?

He is in the Mogan country, which is a sand away from Yuelin country.

This time, they were merchants from the Yuelin Kingdom, and they came to sell the unique spices of the Yuelin Kingdom.

The spices of Yuelin Kingdom are well-known far and near, and they are rare goods to live in. It has always been the other countries who take the initiative to do business with their family. Their family decides whether to do it or not based on their mood and the price. The business is very casual.How could you take the initiative to sell spices?

Shi Yan explained to others in this way: "Three months ago, internal turmoil broke out in our country, and there was a scene where the fourteen kings forced the palace. In the end, the third prince born to the first queen came to power and vigorously suppressed other brothers and sisters.

Our master is the sixth prince born out of the second queen, and he is the person the third prince hates the most.

There is almost no room for those who are suppressed in the country to survive, the environment is difficult, and it is difficult to move an inch, so my master ordered me and other loyal servants to come out privately with domestic spices to seek foreign aid. If the king can help him regain the throne of the king, he is willing to use Yuelin Half of the country's spices in exchange! "

Shi Yan also took out the identification documents that he had asked for when he instigated the rebellion against the sixth prince, and took out the household registration documents given to him by the king at that time, which proved his identity and was completely approved by the king.

His Majesty was very moved after hearing this, but he also knew that Mogan Kingdom and Yuelin Kingdom were thousands of miles away, and it was obviously not wise to send troops to help the sixth prince at this time, but he didn't want to give up those spices either.

So he said to Shi Yan: "I, Mogan Guoerlang, are all brave and strong. I have one enemy against a hundred. I put them outside. Without my king personally leading them, I have a disobedient temperament. Others may not be able to order them to move them.

But as a great king, I naturally cannot personally lead troops to help you six princes put down the rebellion.

If this is not the case, the sharpest combat weapons produced in our country can provide you with [-] pairs, and my majesty will not ask for more. After this is done, I will ask you for a quarter of the spices of the Yuelin Kingdom. "

Shi Yan had a look of grief, indignation and pain, he had suffered such a great humiliation, and wished he could fight desperately with King Mogan.

Finally, under the persuasion of the loyal servants of the sixth prince of Yuelin Kingdom behind him, he gritted his teeth and negotiated with King Mogan: "Three thousand sets are too few, at least six thousand sets are needed!"

The king only hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

Finally, Shi Yan signed the unequal treaty with trembling hands.

After signing the contract, he acted as if he was sorry for the sixth prince, sorry for the Yuelin country, "I am a sinner of the Yuelin country", wishing to apologise, and rushed back to Yuelin with [-] pairs of the sharpest and most advanced weapons. Kingdom, to help their beloved sixth prince.

After leaving the border of Mogan Kingdom, Shi Yan asked all his brothers to put on the armor obtained by "bearing humiliation" and "sacrificing power and humiliating the country". Facing the map in his hand, he said to Hang Yunsan and Wang Datou.

"Let's follow the previous plan. Wang Datou, you take 3000 troops and put on recruit armor to go to the east of Mo Yuguo to ask for help. You said that Moganguo was ambushed by the mission of Yuelin Kingdom, and asked the soldiers guarding the city of Mo Yuguo to let you in and watch carefully." say clearly.

Didn’t you know much about the Mogan country dialect that you were asked to practice before?The relationship between the two countries is good, there is no conflict of interest, and they have always been undefended against each other. It should not be difficult to enter the city.

Bring the proof of household registration that you specially found. Wang Datou and you generals will most likely be able to enter. It is not a big problem whether other people can enter or not, as long as Mo Yuguo believes that you are from the Mogan country next door.

Remember, we are short on time, and we have to make a time difference before Mo Ganguo discovers the problem, so there will be no problems. "

Then he turned his head and said to Hang Yunsan, who was eager to try: "After Wang Datou goes in for an hour, you will bring the remaining 3000 people dressed in Mogan Guobing armor, and cooperate with him to stage a co-operation between the inside and the outside.

If there is a chance to cooperate internally and externally, then fight, if not, just play it by ear, and let Mo Yuguo believe that Mo Ganguo has murderous intentions towards them. "

Wang Datou and Hang Yunsan nodded heavily.

Mogan country's refined iron forging technology, and Mo Yu country's coal are all important strategic materials, and they are all things that are scarce in the Great Zhou. If the Great Zhou wants to develop, it will not be possible without these.

Shi Yan's move is to muddy the water, but the ultimate goal is to open business.Between countries, soldiers never tire of cheating, that's what happened, and it's quite boring to put it bluntly.

Things went smoothly at the beginning, Wang Datou successfully entered Mo Yuguo's territory, and then when he was cooperating with Hang Yunsan, something happened, because he couldn't understand a Mo Yuguo saying by the general, he was discovered In the end, the last few people fled out of the city in embarrassment under the support of Hang Yunsan.

After escaping from the city, six thousand soldiers dressed in the armor of the Mogan Kingdom gathered together and fought a guerrilla war with the pursuers on the Gobi Desert.

The posture of slipping is very skilled, it can be seen that he is used to it.

At night, a group of people set up a fire to barbecue on the Gobi Desert. Hang Yunsan patted his thigh excitedly and said to Shi Yan: "Father, Mo Yuguo and Mo Ganguo are fighting, and now Moganguo may have discovered our clues .

Do you think he will fight Yuelin Guo? "

Shi Yan didn't speak, but looked at Wang Datou on the other side.

General Wang took a bite of the roast leg of lamb, a mouthful of wine and a mouthful of meat, and shook his head happily: "Mo Ganguo will not let himself be attacked, he will only bear this breath for a while, and wait for the liquidation afterwards. This matter... tsk , there is something exciting to watch!"

Shi Yan reminded them: "Hide your tail well, don't get yourself burned."

To start a fire is indeed to start a fire, but it is not yourself that burns.

When the weather enters the twelfth lunar month and the coldest season of the year arrives, Mo Yuguo and Moganguo in the north are guarded against each other and distrust each other, and a huge rift has formed in the good neighbor relationship for decades.There were several fights, each winning or losing.

They all want to find foreign aid.

The two sides collectively set their sights on the Great Zhou Dynasty, which had a large population, abundant food, and gold and silver everywhere.

Both sides pondered: What advantage do I have to make Da Zhou face me and be hostile to each other?

Finally, Mo Ganguo came to a conclusion: fine iron forging!

Mo Yuguo came to a conclusion: the best charcoal!

Two countries: trade!trading!

After the emperor and ministers in the capital received the envoys from the two countries asking for trade again: "!!!"
