Changsun Wuji was a little nervous when he met the saint this time.
Li Er, Wei Zheng, Fang Du, and others didn't know what they had done, so they had to find out the situation themselves and then discuss it with the emperor.
What is the nature of this?
To put it mildly, this is because others don't let you play with you and you have to do it on your own, which is embarrassing yourself.
And let’s talk about it more broadly.
That is to intervene in politics by force, which is quite a bit domineering.
Although the Tang Dynasty was not the Song Dynasty, it was also unsafe for ministers to be too active and enthusiastic on major matters concerning the country.
Changsun Wuji couldn't help but look up at Li Er nervously, and then lowered his head.
"Well, Your Majesty, I heard that Your Majesty is quite troubled today about the opening of the frontier to America. I feel uneasy because I am depriving you of His Majesty's salary, so I came to disturb Sheng Cong..."
"You..."
Li Er laughed a little. This matter is actually a semi-public discussion. After all, the business of opening up Xinjiang America... Who do you want to hide it from? There are too many people who need to be mobilized for this matter, both from the court and the people.
It's impossible to keep it secret either.
This old guy Changsun can just say whatever he wants to say, but he still has to give all the reasons before he gets to the point. This is... Should he be so careful and cautious, and play in such detail? Is politics such a detailed thing?
Although he complained in his heart, Li Er was not sullen, but felt in a good mood.
I feel that I am so stupid when it comes to IQ, and others are really not interested in it. Since this old guy came to my door today, he must have some ideas and a plan in mind, so yes!
So Li Er didn't say much. He just looked at Changsun Wuji and raised his chin, "Since I'm paying attention to this matter, I guess the arrival of the auxiliary aircraft is not sudden. What do you have to say about opening the sea to America?
Just tell me your opinion and let me listen!"
Changsun Wuji bowed, and then his expression returned from being reserved to natural, and said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty is concerned about this matter in America, and it has nothing to do with me. But I know that your Majesty plans to
To support the recently disbanded pirates and the young people who left China’s border to participate in this great cause.”
Speaking of this sensitive point, Changsun Wuji raised his head carefully and looked at the emperor.
Although this matter is not particularly sensitive...but if it really spreads, it will still have a bad impact after all.
The emperor was obviously spending money, but when the time came, it seemed that he was taking advantage of these young people. Although Li Er did think so, the main intention of the court was to secretly stuff money into these young people, which was also unfair.
Fake.
This is a typical thing that can only be done but not said.
However, after glancing at the emperor, Changsun Wuji also observed that Li Er's expression was as usual, only looking at him and waiting. He didn't mean to blame him, so he relaxed and continued, "But although these young people are brave and bloody, they are still in China."
The various states and counties have gone through advanced studies and are capable, but it is not easy to survive overseas, and the imperial court may not be able to help. Therefore, out of curiosity, I came to see you in shame, wondering what your Majesty's plans are."
Li Er couldn't help but be stunned as he listened.
What's going on with Changsun Wuji? He came to the emperor at night just to ask this question? Damn... I'm still waiting for your opinion, and you still ask me?
This fucking salary money is really wasted, right?
Li Er frowned at that moment, "I am worried about this matter and am about to discuss it with you. I wonder if the auxiliary machine has any opinion?"
Changsun Wuji's face relaxed a little at this moment - his guess about the strange scene at the court meeting during the day was indeed correct!
After all, whether you are working for the emperor normally or providing special services - in addition to office work, you also need to help the emperor "find a way". This first has a prerequisite, that is, the emperor likes you to do this.
It would be very funny if you accidentally slap the horse on the leg by flattering you.
But since Li Er doesn't seem to care about this, Changsun Wuji is actually not very nervous, because since the matter is indeed something, and you didn't even watch the emperor's opening meeting early in the morning, you were so confused? This fully shows that today
At this moment, I didn’t have any etiquette or political details to worry about.
However, due to his usual high IQ and cautious attitude, Changsun Wuji still went through the entire process and made an official statement.
At this moment, Li Er himself directly signaled to get down to business, and then he slowly said, "Your Majesty, I think that this time when the Tang Dynasty opened its borders, it was because of the divine power of the Forbidden Army and the waves of the Pinghai Road that the merchants of the Tang Dynasty came to America.
The above plan. However, opening up borders has never been easy, so Your Majesty wants to sponsor the scholars who go out from these colleges to participate in opening up borders. I think it is very good."
Li Er raised his eyebrows.
He didn't expect that Changsun Wuji was really insightful!
His views on the American issues are basically all accurate, and there are no mistakes, whether it is his own plans or the difficulties in the matter.
It is true that I have not discussed this matter with Changsun Wuji much - it is not a secret, but there are several ministers and ministers in the Shangshu Province. Changsun Wuji is not responsible for this, at least, he is not directly responsible for going to sea.
of this group of people.
But he was still able to clearly grasp the context of overseas issues.
Li Er couldn't help but feel a hint of joy on his face, looking a little hopeful.
With Changsun Wuji's intelligence, he should be able to handle this matter smoothly, right?
Then, Changsun Wuji continued, "However, the overseas winds are high and the waves are rough, and most of them are barren lands. Although the men of the Tang Dynasty are all brave and talented, they are afraid of twists and turns. I think... Your Majesty
Maybe you are worried about this?"
For Changsun Wuji to make such a guess, it wasn't because he had gotten some information.
It is a very simple reasoning, because during the Han Dynasty, the reason why Han envoys were able to run rampant in Mobei was because the Han army was right behind these guys. Whenever the opponent made any changes, the Han army would arrive as soon as possible.
No one in front of the army can think of pretending to be brave and running away - but the warships of the Tang Dynasty are not yet capable of such a thing.
The Forbidden Army on land has reached the peak of its life. All the forces in Mobei, such as Goguryeo and the Turks, no matter how arrogant they were at the beginning, have been crushed and taken away by the current Forbidden Army of the Tang Dynasty, and they have completely become history.
But it's different at sea. The sea is... too big.
Of course, there is something special about the vastness of the ocean compared to the land, that is, the transportation capacity of ships carried by sea water is far greater than that of horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts on land.
The strong transport capacity means that at some point in the future, Datang's warships will be able to easily reach any place, and by then as long as the power of the artillery is in place, everything will not be a problem.
But now navigation itself is still a big problem, and it is naturally more difficult to open borders.
