Late at night, outside Jinlin Pavilion, there was a sound of footsteps coming from far away, and a slender figure gradually became clear. I saw the person coming with a majestic appearance, a long gown dancing in the wind, and a heroic spirit, especially the expressionless mask on his face.

, adding a cold and handsome look.

The figure stood still on the steps, raised his head and cupped his hands and said, "I see His Majesty the Emperor and Your Highness the Seventh Princess."

"The Righteous King is exempt from the courtesy." Chu Liyuan raised his right hand slightly, and then said: "Ai Qing came to visit late at night, what should I report?"

King Yi turned his head slightly and looked at Chu Yuyan. He was about to speak when he heard Chu Yuyan say: "Father, it's already late at night. You and King Yi have finished discussing political affairs and have a rest early. I'll take my leave first!"

After saying that, he turned around, moved his steps lightly, and walked straight down the steps. When he came to the side of King Yi, he paused slightly and turned his head to glance. King Yi was aware of it. The two people's eyes met. Chu Yuyan's jade face turned crimson.

, his face was full of embarrassment, and he immediately turned around and walked forward. King Yi was stunned and didn't know why. When he heard the footsteps getting away, he immediately said: "I am visiting late at night and disturbing your majesty's rest. I hope your majesty will forgive you."

Hearing this, Chu Liyuan said: "King Yi is devoted to political affairs, which is a blessing to the country. Why should he be blamed?" Then he moved to King Yi's side and said: "The night is already deep. I love you, please follow me in the study room to talk in detail."

King Yi raised his hand and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." Then he followed.

After a while, Chu Liyuan sat down and signaled King Yi to take his seat, and then said: "Ai Qing came into the palace late at night, what is the matter?"

After slightly adjusting his clothes, King Yi said: "Your Majesty, Mosasaurus just returned to the imperial capital today. In the evening, I had a long talk with him. I have sorted out what he saw, heard, and did during his trip. Please

Please take a look." After saying this, he handed the memorial to Chu Liyuan and sat quietly aside.

"good!"

After a long time, Chu Liyuan cheered, and then he said with a look of ecstasy: "In the midst of strategizing and winning a decisive victory thousands of miles away, King Yi has done another amazing feat this time!"

After hearing this, King Yi hurriedly said humbly: "Your Majesty is ridiculous. In two months, thousands of miles away, everything needs to be stopped by Mosasaurus on his own. I only made a slight suggestion, how dare I take credit."

"Well, Mosasaurus belongs to your Military Aircraft Department, and you are the head of the Military Aircraft Department. This is indeed a great contribution of your Military Aircraft Department. You and I, the monarch and my ministers, don't have to worry about it. Now the chaos in South Vietnam can be avoided.

, but this situation is also quite delicate."

"Your Majesty, the Central China Territory is rich in products and the people are prosperous. It has been a place that all the countries in the mainland have been competing for since ancient times. The reason why the situation can be successfully broken this time is because they all have their own agendas. The so-called alliance is nothing but a piece of paper. But even so,

The desire to enter the central region is not dead, and the alarm bell of danger is always hanging in front of you! If the strength of Da Chu is far stronger than that of other countries, then the country can be protected without worries. If it is parallel with other powerful countries, it will easily become the target of public criticism. Although Da Chu has been in power for three years,

As I cultivate my health and rest, the country gradually becomes more powerful. If one of the powerful ones is strong, I can attack it hard with the power of Chu, and can stop the war with war, frighten the other countries, and take advantage of the opportunity to develop; but if the powerful ones cooperate, then I need to be careful in my steps.

It can maintain the strange balance of the moment.”

Hearing this, Chu Liyuan couldn't help but sigh: "Although it is very sad, it is an indisputable fact. I wonder what Aiqing thinks the current situation is?"

"I believe that the current situation requires the strategy of making friends from far away and attacking at close range."

"Oh, why make friends from afar and attack those close to you?"

"South Vietnam is a barbarian land. Its people are good at martial arts and have no great abilities.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The country is content with the status quo. If there is a disaster, in order to appease the people, the risk is just to get some money and food. Da Chu can help it appropriately, which can not only ensure the safety of the southern territory, but also with the

If we form a good relationship, it can also serve as a barrier for the Mittal Empire to advance into the Central Region. Although the Southwest Mittal Empire has a vast territory, it has many mountains and little land, and is lacking in materials. Therefore, it has long coveted the fertile land of our Central Region.

Because of the country's great power, the emperors of Chu disdain to make peace with it. However, given the current situation, perhaps our country, Chu, needs to focus on opening up trade routes and strengthening trade exchanges, so that both its country and its people can benefit. If the time comes to use troops, I think I will definitely pull Dan.

The emperor has many worries."

"Although Tuqi'er State in the northwest is a tributary of our great Chu, if we are strong, it will be weak; if we are weak, its power will be strong. I believe that among the many city lords of Tuqi'er State at present, those who are loyal to Da Chu will do their best to

Seriously, if you have different intentions, you should be slack on it. As long as Tuqi'er state is not monolithic, it can't be called a serious problem. In the Tiemen Kingdom in northern Xinjiang, a figure like Gushi has appeared in recent years. He is quite far-sighted, but he is iron-blooded.

Although the iron gate country's policy has greatly increased its power in a few years, many nobles in the country are quite complaining. However, it is hindered by the monarch's heavy use and they dare not make mistakes. I think it is a feasible strategy to sow discord and send people to build momentum in the iron gate country.

, the conquest began with unrighteousness, and many nobles must have contributed to the flames. If this can disrupt the government, our northern border will be temporarily stable, but at the same time, our northern military needs to strengthen its armaments, especially the method of breaking through its iron gates and fine cavalry.

If the Iron Gate Kingdom wakes up in the future, they will definitely have a battle with me. If we win this battle, the northern frontier will be safe for decades. If we lose, it will be several times the rebellion of Yan and Lu."

"As for the Dongying Kingdom, it has invaded our Gutai Island for several years. Its power is gradually stabilizing, and at the same time, its ambition to expand is getting stronger. Although its homeland has no worries about foreign invasion, its national strength is currently unable to support its large-scale invasion, so it often uses small

Groups of men and horses are waiting for opportunities to invade our coastal areas. I think we can build an elite force to target them. Wherever they invade, we will attack them with all our strength. This will not only reassure the border residents, but also deter Xiaoxiao so that they will not dare to invade the border easily.

"

After listening to King Yi's discussion, Chu Liyuan said with emotion: "After listening to your words, I suddenly became enlightened! All the above strategies are possible, but the matter of Dongying Kingdom occupying our Gutai Island is like a bone in my throat.

My heart aches so much! Hey, if it hadn’t been for the Yan-Lu Rebellion, how could the Dongying bandits have been allowed to take advantage of the situation? However, in the current situation, we don’t dare to use troops, so what can we do?”

"Your Majesty, within ten years, if the strategy just implemented is effective and the power of Chu can be as powerful as before the Yan-Lu rebellion, then troops can be launched to attack. Otherwise, that needs to be discussed separately."

Hearing this, Chu Liyuan couldn't help but said sadly: "Ten years, ten years! Since experiencing the Yanlu Rebellion, my body is no longer what it used to be. I wonder if I can wait until the battle across the sea in these ten years!"

King Yi hurriedly comforted him and said: "Your Majesty is a virtuous king who is rarely seen in the ages. He is favored by God. He will return to Taiwan in the future, but your Majesty still needs to command the three armies in the central military tent."

"Haha!" Chu Liyuan chuckled, and then said: "Forget it, let's not mention it. My dear, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival hunting soon, and I would like to entrust you with the guarding matter, because you have been busy with South Vietnam in the past two months.

So I didn’t tell you in time, what do you think?”

When King Yi heard this, he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty has entrusted me with your task, and I should try my best to do it! In addition, I have something else that I don't know whether to talk about or not."

"But it doesn't matter!"

"Your Majesty, for this incident in South Vietnam, Your Majesty had originally ordered the army to

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The Machinery Department worked hard to supervise the matter, but General Ning Wu almost broke out into a war. If the Mosasaurus hadn't taken the first step, the consequences would have been unpredictable."

Hearing this, Chu Liyuan was surprised and said: "This is actually happening!"

"Your Majesty, Mosasaurus has not investigated this matter in detail, so no evidence has been obtained. However, no matter how big or small the state affairs are, they all need to be taken precautions in the bud. This time there was no big mistake. Therefore, I suggest that your Majesty does not need to go into details and just give it a little shock.

Can."

Chu Liyuan nodded, paused in thought, and smiled after a moment: "My dear, you are devoted to government affairs, but there is no one around you to take care of you. Have you ever considered starting a family?"

King Yi was stunned and didn't know what Chu Liyuan meant. He replied: "I am loved by your majesty and hold an important position. I should give top priority to state affairs. I have not yet considered the affairs of my children. I will wait for the fate to decide."

Hearing this, Chu Liyuan smiled and said: "Getting married and establishing a career is a major event in life. I intend to recruit you as my consort and betroth the Seventh Princess Chu Yuyan to you. I don't know what your intentions are!"

After a moment of silence, King Yi said: "Your Majesty, the Seventh Princess is beautiful, gentle and virtuous. She is indeed a rare good girl. But..."

"If you have anything to say, dear, just tell me!"

"It's just that your Majesty and your tutor had a three-year agreement. Now it has been three years since the Yanlu Rebellion was put down. It's time for me to re-appoint my tutor. I'm afraid I will live up to your majesty's good intentions."

When Chu Liyuan heard this, his dissatisfaction flashed away, and he said calmly: "I will naturally remember the agreement in my heart. I will naturally not stand in the way of your reinstatement of the family master, but I will return to the court afterwards and hold the wedding.

The two are not contradictory."

"Your Majesty, I am a commoner, but I have no great ambitions. I only want to drink a glass of wine, wander around the world, and die with my grave. At that time, during the Yanlu Rebellion, the people were in dire straits, and I was young and energetic. What I did was originally intended to save my life.

The common people seek peace, but do not want to see unpredictable events in the world, so they enter the court."

Hearing that King Yi had no intention of leaving, Chu Liyuan couldn't help but said angrily: "'Yi Xin', matters in the court are not child's play. If you leave easily, what should you do in the huge stall of the military aircraft?"

"Your Majesty, Huang Yu has been with me since the beginning of the independence of the military aircraft department. She is extremely intelligent and I have tried my best to cultivate her. Now she is able to take charge of her own business. Moreover, she is a female. I think the government and the public will look down upon her. So,

The military aircraft can be stable. Mosasaurus has long had the ambition to serve as an official in the court, and he is loyal and loyal, and his subordinates will obey him. He can be worshiped as his deputy to assist Huang Yu..."

Chu Liyuan knew that "Yi Xin" had decided to leave, so rushing everything would be counterproductive and hurriedly interrupted: "My dear, it's late at night and I'm a little sleepy. We can discuss this later. The most urgent thing now is the Mid-Autumn Festival hunting.

For one thing, we don’t have much time now, so you still need to work hard and adjust your arrangements, so you should go back and rest early.”

'Yi Xin', didn't you know that Chu Liyuan was just a tactic to delay the war? As a minister, he did not dare to violate the holy will, so he immediately raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, please rest early, I will retire first."

Seeing "Yi Xin" turned around and left, Chu Liyuan sat quietly for a long time, his expression changing, uncertain.

'Yi Xin' walked outside the imperial study room, turned around and stood still for a moment, sighed softly, then turned around and walked out along the eaves of the corridor.

When he arrived at the gate of the Imperial Palace, he looked up and saw a beautiful figure standing quietly in the autumn wind. Seeing 'Yi Xin' coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward and said softly: "Is the conversation over?"
