A paper imperial edict, an envoy and a mouth can persuade the barbarians to become a vassal of the national Dynasty and avoid the loss and blood brought by the military front. What credit is this? Great credit! It must be famous in history and praised all over the world!
This idea is the most real and urgent desire of civil servants at present.
As for whether this idea is feasible, different people have different opinions. Others may think that since the Terrans and barbarians are feuds, can they be "gentle" in addition to fighting each other? Isn't that bullshit?
But in the eyes of many civil servants with dreams, nothing is impossible. Isn't it the supreme honor that scholars yearn for to subdue people without fighting? Now the barbarians have little potential and the old Jing Dynasty has great potential. As long as the barbarians have a little knowledge of current affairs, they should be soft and take advantage of the slope. Isn't that "subduing the soldiers without fighting"?
Therefore, in the eyes of civil servants, it is not impossible to persuade the barbarians to change the future situation of the two ethnic groups in ways other than war.
Including Zuo Xiang Ye Lansheng is also a supporter of this idea.
Anyway, there are endless calls. Why not try to get along with the barbarians in another way?
However, not everyone thinks so, at least not because of the change of the military headquarters. For example, Bai Changqing, Minister of household.
Bai Changqing took over and his view on the emperor's control of the military headquarters was negative: "Although your majesty has always been in the middle of us and the army, in my opinion, your majesty is still in the main battle. Otherwise, you will not allow Zuo Yuliang, the Taoist priest in the south, to actively practice the military array and arrange outside the pass. In addition, you may not know. Just a few days ago, your majesty ordered to start the national grain storage warehouse to transport grain on a large scale to the south, and the quantity is more than ten times that before."
Bai Changqing's remark was somewhat confidential, but all present were leaders of the civil service group, and they would not take it out and talk nonsense.
Ye Lansheng frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "the meaning of baishangshu is... Your majesty is not only fighting, but also secretly promoting the process of the military front? And we are just staring at the first Department of the army, but we are hidden in the drum?"
"Yes. I think it's more difficult for the military department to reach our ideas after being in charge by your majesty. Your majesty is eager to fight. After all, your majesty won the last war with the barbarians personally. I'm afraid your majesty won't" sit down and talk "with the barbarians regardless of the previous results or experience."
"Your Majesty is in charge of war, but people's livelihood is important! Once the war is ignited, it will not cost the national treasury? It's better to spend this money than to build more canals. Besides, how many people will die together in the war? We should try our best to persuade your majesty to change our mind."
"Yes! Isn't that our duty as officials in the dynasty?"
"Tut Tut, your duty is right, but your Majesty's character... I think it's difficult!"
"So what if it's hard? Can't you give up?"
Bai Changqing's words completely ignited the discussion. After all, everyone here can be regarded as a human spirit. After a little penetration, they can naturally understand the meaning inside and outside the words, but they can't help giving up.
"In fact, to put it another way, it may not be good news for us that the military headquarters is now under your Majesty's control. This is equivalent to your majesty standing on the side of the military headquarters. Will you suppress us in turn?"
As soon as these words were transferred, there was another silence in the study. It was the truth, and others thought of it.
Ye Lansheng turned the teacup as if thinking of something, and the surrounding discussion was gradually quiet because of his long silence.
"My lord?"
"I wonder if I can find some more people who can speak in front of your majesty to help advise. It's urgent to delay the southern soldiers. Once the war officially starts, I can't stop." Ye Lansheng is the head of the civil service, and the Lord and he follow his lead. Once the Lord and he are pressed below, he will definitely be affected the most. No matter how, we can't let the war start so soon.
"Help? But don't all the people who can help us now stand on our side? Who else?"
There was also a clever quick response and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Zuo Xiang, do you mean those princes?"
Princes?
The eyes of everyone present were fixed on Ye Lansheng, expecting the leader to give a definite answer.
"That's right. To be exact, it's your Majesty's seven princes. They have been moving up and down for more than two years. I know some of you have contacted them. But I warned you not to stand in line easily before, because it's not time yet. Now I think I can take advantage of these princes."
With that, ye Lansheng's eyes swept around. Everyone around him either bowed his head, pretended to look elsewhere, or pretended to talk to his neighbors. He didn't seem to see it. Anyway, he didn't match Ye Lansheng's eyes.
These words are not easy to answer, especially the one in the early stage, which is easy to remember.
Ye Lansheng has long been used to this situation. People say that literary officials have many minds. In fact, what they say is true. Who here is not self-protection? It's a good thing to find the prince to take advantage of the situation. If it's not good, it's to get involved in the "struggle for imperial power". If it's bad, it's going to lose his head.
But ye Lansheng couldn't carry such a thing alone, so he directly called his name: "Lord Bai, what do you think?"
Bai Changqing jerked at the corners of her mouth and said in her heart: Why me again?!
However, Bai Changqing can't pretend to be deaf and dumb after being named by Ye Lansheng, otherwise he doesn't respect the leader of the other party. After a little thought, he said, "have you found that your Majesty's control over several princes has become more and more loose in recent years?"
"Indeed. But what does Lord Bai mean?"
"I think... It's your Majesty's intention to indulge the activities of several princes. At the same time, he is also examining them. He may be preparing for that. So, is it appropriate for us to take advantage of the Prince now?"
Smart people usually say that seven points hide three points. Ordinary people will feel that it is pretentious and hard to listen, but the advantage is that "you understand naturally", and it is convenient to deny: I didn't say anything. You came up with it yourself!
Obviously, ye Lansheng and others are smart people. Even if they are high and low, it is not difficult to understand Bai Changqing's words.
"Hiss... It's true that Lord Bai said so!"
Some people react only when they are real and look surprised; Some people are very calm and obviously have found it long ago but don't say it.
Ye Lansheng is the one with a calm expression, but he is not in a hurry to speak. Now Bai Changqing has raised his head. Let others discuss it first, he will listen to it, and finally he will make a conclusion.
Sure enough, after Bai Changqing became a "leading bird", the others couldn't listen. One by one, they began to calculate in their hearts, but their mouths were full of words.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
