"Why would your Majesty want to clear the grassland? Have the Mongol offended us?"
"The emperor's thoughts are unpredictable. The grassland is poor and remote, and the Mongols live in pursuit of water and grass. How can we fight against it? Is it possible that your majesty is afraid of Beiyan, so..."
A group of ministers and Zhu Youde had different opinions. No one could convince anyone and they could only talk slowly.
Naturally, such a major plan to destroy the country will not happen overnight, but some preparations can be made.
When Feng Bogong and others came out of the palace, they couldn't help but complain along the way. This theory seems very possible.
The emperor was not sure, so he wanted to try the Mongol people first.
But the grassland is so big, and there are so many tribes, so it’s not like the people of Daliang have to eat mutton.
It is very uneconomical to fight against the Mongols.
As for the emperor being afraid of Beiyan, it is very possible when everyone thinks about it.
The people of Daliang have been oppressed by Beiyan for too long. It's good if they don't beat you. Now if you want to kill people with a knife, Feng Bogong and other important officials of Daliang have no confidence.
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse.
Beiyan's army is not for fun.
Luo Yunshan said: "Your Majesty must know that Beiyan can be destroyed. If the emperor is not determined, how can he talk about destroying the country?"
"But that's Beiyan. Not to mention Your Majesty, now that I talk about it, I feel uneasy. Our country is not ready!"
"Yes, Zhao Wuji died too suddenly. When he died, the relationship between our country and Beiyan suddenly became complicated."
Cui Li snorted, these civil servants just didn't want to talk to someone from a clan like him, so they kept talking secretly.
Do you think I am a dead person? I saw Feng Bogong, Luo Yunshan, Kong Shangfang and others playing small group games again.
Cui Li gave them a cold look, and then raised his voice with Lu Jun.
"Your Majesty has a great talent and a great strategy. If you conquer the grassland, you will attack the grassland. After conquering the grassland, you will attack Beiyan. It is nothing. The army can detour from the grassland in the future, cutting off Beiyan's retreat route into the grassland, forcing them to enter Goryeo all the way. In the end, they will either go to the sea or have nothing to do.
There is nowhere to escape, this kind of strategy is truly magnificent."
Lu Jun also said loudly: "That's it. So the grassland was not important before, but now it has become extremely important. Your Majesty has a profound view."
Feng Bogong and others were twitching.
These words were said to them deliberately. Feng Bogong and others glanced at Cui Li and Lu Jun but did not speak. Although their attitude was good, their eyes were very disdainful.
We are not all from the same place.
"Attacking the grassland is a waste of national power. As long as Beiyan is defeated, whoever dares to go against my will, Daliang, will not accept it!"
Feng Bogong also raised his voice. He frowned, stood up with a righteous look on his face, glanced at Cui Li and others, and then tried hard to suppress his anger.
Officials from aristocratic families are just lackeys, they have no moral integrity and they do whatever the emperor says, so what's the use of studying.
Cui Li was upset and responded with a louder voice: "Your Majesty is far-sighted, how can a short-sighted person see it? As a minister, I have different opinions from Your Majesty. It is simply inhumane!"
"Meat eaters are despicable!"
"The poor families are all rubbish."
Feng Bogong rolled up his sleeves as if he wanted to beat Cui Li violently. He stopped and looked at Cui Li, who also stopped.
The other Luo Yunshan, Lu Jun and others looked at each other and chose teams one after another. The officials from the aristocratic family naturally stood behind Cui Li, while the man from a poor family chose Feng Bogong, and the two sides started to fight again.
On the high platform of Fengtian Hall, Zhu Youde happened to be out for a walk and quietly looked at the civil servants below like fighting cocks.
The civil servants on both sides were more powerful than the generals.
Cui Li was about to move. He raised his finger and pointed at Feng Bogong and cursed: "Without a king or a father, I don't know etiquette!" Feng Bogong showed no sign of weakness: "Inviting to pamper the disciples of the charm, reading books has been read on dogs. I don't know the righteousness of the sage. What do you have to do?"
His face stood above the court."
"What a bitch."
"Shameless"
"Do it!"
With Cui Li's shout, people on both sides started fighting.
Zhu Youde on the high platform squatted on the ground, covering his face.
Ouch!
This thing hurts. They are all important ministers of the country, and they don’t even need to lose their dignity.
Obviously, the battle over whether to attack the grassland or the Yan Kingdom first was very important to the minister.
Cui Li was right about one thing, that is, Zhu Youde conquered the grassland first to prevent the military power of Yan State from entering the land in the future.
Bei Yan has long conquered the grassland, and the prairie has provided Bei Yan with the most critical war horses.
Without the war horses, Bei Yan's so-called invincible cavalry is useless. Taking advantage of Zhao Wuji's death and Bei Yan's civil strife, it happened to be the time when Daliang sent troops to the grassland, and attacking the grassland would not stimulate Bei Yan.
However, fighting on the grassland was very unfavorable for Daliang. Daliang's army was mainly infantry, and the grassland people ran away on horseback.
If you want to cultivate grassland, it is not something you can do in a year or two.
Wang Zhonghou couldn't bear to see Cui Li being pinned to the ground and beaten wildly by several people. "Your Majesty, why don't I go and persuade you!"
"What are you trying to persuade? Is anyone dead?"
"without!"
"Then what are you advising? If we don't fight or make trouble, we are not a family." Zhu Youde said, how can civil servants die if they just fight?
Anyway, this incident happened among ministers, and it was not Zhu Youde who was laughed at when word spread.
So don't worry about it.
Wang Zhong gave a shameless slap. The emperor didn't care about him, so of course he didn't care either. However, the officials of the aristocratic family were swept away by Zhu Youde once before, and now they are completely unworthy of being beaten.
Soon Cui Li and Lu Jun were pushed to the ground and beaten wildly by Feng Bogong and others.
"Haha, Cui Li, you are inferior to a pig or a dog. Emperor Fu Mei, are you considered a scholar? You have no independent opinions. What's the difference between you and a pig or a dog!"
"I'm not done with you, Feng Bogong. Just wait. I support Your Majesty. What can you do? I just don't agree with what you are thinking."
Feng Bogong snorted coldly and let Cui Li go. Officials from the poor family congratulated Feng Bogong one after another, as if he had won a battle.
Although it was a fight, it was just because of political differences, and no one cared about it.
This time Feng Bogong and others had strong fists, so after they stood up, Cui Li, Lu Jun and several officials from aristocratic families did not say anything.
Seeing Feng Bogong, who was proudly taking officials from a humble family to have a drink, Cui Li said anxiously, "We don't have enough manpower. It would be great if we had more people. We will definitely defeat them next time."
Lu Jun nodded: "It's a big disadvantage because there are so few people. We need more officials from the family to be recommended."
Someone said: "Your Majesty asked Liang Zan to go on a killing spree in Shandong, how could the family be willing to do so?"
Cui Li rolled his eyes: "I asked them to fight, not to serve the emperor. Do you think you are happy to see me being beaten every day?"
Lu Jun glanced at Cui Li and nodded: "That's the reason. You don't have to work for His Majesty, but if you lose every time, our family will lose face. If we are embarrassed now, isn't it the family's shame?"
Face is more important than anything else. When he said this, those officials nodded and expressed their willingness to go home and ask.
Cui Li then let these people disperse and go back to their homes.
