"For this, the foreign minister can give it a try. If it fails, I hope the king will not blame the foreign minister."
Song Sansi laughed loudly: "How can I blame you? It's too late for me to thank you."
The two chatted some more about Nan Chu and the Chen Song Jie Alliance, and Su Changqing stood up and left.
A few days later, in the royal study room of the Luocheng Palace, Murong Bing and Zhao Ruiyi and other close ministers had a very happy chat.
Even Murong Bing did not expect that this expedition would bring four vassal states into the territory of Great Shang in one fell swoop.
Especially Bai Hua, he even attacked such a dangerous place.
"King Zhao, now that most of the world's territory is in the hands of my great merchant, what should we do next?"
Zhao Rui walked to the map hanging nearby.
"Now that all the vassal states have just been included in the territory of the Great Shang, there are still many details of legal household registration that need to be handled. Therefore, for a long time to come, it is not appropriate for me, the Great Shang, to use weapons anymore, but to handle the affairs of the country with peace of mind.
"
As soon as these words came out, Shangguan Mu and Nangong Yi were shocked. They didn't expect that Zhao Rui had already had a plan in his mind.
The two of them discussed with Sima Shang and Chen He for a whole day before finally finalizing the strategy for recuperation and making an extremely detailed plan.
It seems that the two of them are a little too worried.
Zhao Rui raised his hand and waved to Nangong Yi: "Nangong Xiangguo may have to go to various princes in the next period of time. As long as they don't conflict with my great merchant, the rest is up to you.
Just let them attack each other."
As soon as these words came out, Nangong Yi suddenly became excited. This was exactly the original strategy in his mind, and he had already made a specific plan.
"Leave this to me. I will not disappoint King Zhao and His Majesty."
Shangguan Mu also breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took out the prepared strategies and plans.
"This is the strategy that Mr. Nangong and I worked out together with Mr. Sima Shang and Chen He. Your Majesty and King Zhao would like to review it."
Zhao Rui waved his hand: "The strategy that the two old gentlemen worked out together must be the best strategy. I will not read it. You can directly implement it according to the above strategy."
Murong Bing was very satisfied and nodded. Two years ago, she would never have thought that the big chamber of commerce would be in such a situation.
"By the way, last time I didn't propose that Sima Shang be canonized as Duke of Tang. I don't think this matter should be discussed anymore. I can issue the decree now."
Zhao Rui immediately clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, you are wise!"
Others also agreed one after another.
The emperor and King Zhao had already passed the resolution, so they couldn't say much. Besides, Sima Shang had worked hard for the great merchants all his life, so it was no big deal to make him a Duke.
Zhao Rui took out another memorial from his body and handed it over.
"In this period of three consecutive battles, I have found a few very good seedlings who can work for me, Dashang."
Murong Bing took the memorial without reading it, stamped the jade seal on it, and then handed it over to Shangguan Mu to arrange official positions.
While everyone was talking, a Thousand Feather Guard came in holding a talisman.
"Your Majesty, Su Changqing, the envoy of Southern Chu, wants to see you!"
Murong Bing suddenly became impatient: "No! An envoy came to the court to report something. Why did he come to the imperial study?"
The Qian Yuwei was stunned for a moment: "But he said that he is Lord Shangguan's junior brother. He has private matters and wants to see His Majesty and King Zhao."
