The final chapter of the extra episode, the future can be expected
Luoyang East Palace.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Brigadier General Kou raised the file in his hand and presented it with both hands: "This is Tang Xiaze's confession. There are more than 200 officials who have dealings with him. Not many have benefited from him, but there are many officials who have benefited from the Tang family. Especially young officials
The first generation, eager to achieve results and attract investment, would often take the initiative to contact the Tang family and offer convenience and discounts to obtain funds."
Luo Kangrui looked at the list in his hand, shook his head and said: "This is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. It is this kind of endless greed that has led to today's situation. There is Quanzhou's matter first, and there is Tang Xiaze's matter.
Finally, the rules and boundaries have been made clear, and this matter should come to an end."
Kou Zhun said: "Your Majesty issued an order?"
Ever since the big fish was caught, Kou Zhun knew that only Luo Youdu's personal intervention could calm all the turmoil and make the world feel at ease.
A third envoy of the imperial court, second only to the prime minister, and a big businessman who could be called the richest man in Dayu. He implicated officials and businessmen in countless ways. It was called the biggest case in the court of Dayu, surpassing Fan Zhongyan's detection in Quanzhou.
case.
Luo Kangrui said: "I have not received any orders from my father so far, but I was asked to go into the inner garden after handling the matters at hand, and also told me about the Wuwei County Prince entering the palace. With my father's character, I will probably go with the flow and give the County Prince a
Peace of mind. Besides..."
The Prince of Dayu narrowed his eyes and said word by word: "Is it possible that Pingzhong thinks that Gu Xiaojia is angry? Can't he hold on to this trivial matter? Even if the father still has fire in his heart, Gu has to extinguish it. Only
Only by settling this matter as soon as possible and stabilizing the internal affairs can we focus on the world."
Is Tang Xiaze's case big?
Of course it's big.
With this battle, for Luo Kangrui, who has always lived under the glory of Luo Youdu, everyone in the world can see the courage and ability of Prince Dayu, and show the world that Prince Dayu's own light belongs to him.
Since then, no one has dared to underestimate the head of the Yu Dynasty, a qualified successor.
Using thunderous means to deal with the problems caused by the rise of merchants only eliminated the imperial court and showed the ability of a conservative king.
Luo Kangrui's "little family spirit" is obviously not limited to this. He is unwilling to sit contentedly on his father's credit book.
Kou Zhun was also in an excited mood when he heard this. He felt the aura of Prince Dayu in front of him, and there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.
Luo Kangrui waved and asked Kou Zhun to come forward and said: "You have been busy with the case, so I have not discussed the matter with you. Just take a look. If you have no objections, I will hand it over to my father tomorrow for his review."
When Kou Zhun saw Luo Kangrui hand over the thick manuscript on the case table, he reached out to take it and read it carefully.
When Luo Kangrui handed the manuscript to Luo Youdu for review, it was already the evening of the second day.
Luo Youdu flipped through the manuscript casually, but Luo Kangrui below was so reserved that he remained motionless.
The longer the prince stays, the more he admires and even awes his father.
Only by sitting in this seat can Luo Kangrui realize how difficult it is to be at the helm.
As a king whose words can determine the rise and fall of the world, every decision can determine the life and death of thousands of people.
A wrong decision will undoubtedly be a catastrophe for thousands of people.
But his father had been in charge of the world for so many years, and he had never made any mistakes in making major decisions, leading the Yu court to the right path of development.
This groundbreaking policy should have been carried out step by step across the river by feeling the stones, but his father was like an experienced helmsman, avoiding all kinds of undercurrents and rocks, and leading the giant ship Dayu to ride the wind and waves.
Luo Kangrui knew that just by relying on the political legacy left by his great father, Xiao Gui and Cao Sui could become a generation of virtuous people. However, he was a little unwilling to live under the protection of his father for the rest of his life.
After Luo Youdu read the manuscript in his hand, he did not make a statement, but said: "My son has great ambitions, and my father is very pleased. But do you know that my father has never moved westward since he won the appeasement?"
Appeasement is the holy land of Jerusalem in the West. In the past, Cao Bin destroyed the Eastern and Western Roman Empire and forced Emperor Otto the Great to commit suicide on the banks of the Euphrates River. Then he took Jerusalem into his pocket. Luo Youdu personally named it Appeasement.
"My child knows!" Luo Kangrui answered without hesitation: "The cultural differences between the East and the West are too great to be compatible with each other. Appeasement and virtue are of great significance to the West. Only by assimilating this place can we mobilize our troops to the west."
Tiande refers to Baghdad, the capital of the former Arab Empire.
Luo Youdu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Do you think the time has come?"
Luo Kangrui said: "Over the years, the child has always respected his father's wishes and had in-depth exchanges with the West. Since the West was defeated, Otto was killed in battle, and the empire he established fell apart. Byzantium in Eastern Rome saw an opportunity and took advantage of the opportunity to attack. If we hadn't secretly
With support, Western Rome might even be annexed by Byzantium."
A smile appeared on Luo Youdu's face. In the battle that year, Otto was the one he named to kill. As for Basil II of Byzantium, he also guaranteed it.
The Arab Empire had a deep influence in the region, and Luo Youdu disdained to think of him as Genghis Khan. He could indeed take advantage of the situation to conquer the West and conquer a large area of land. However, the logistical pressure of the large army would put pressure on the people of Arabia and the Western Regions.
It turns out that not long after the revival of the Western Regions, Arabia was also suffering from wars. Their manpower and material resources were being squeezed, so how could they surrender?
What's more, pushing the Eastern and Western Roman Empire to the extreme, it is also a big trouble for the two factions of the Catholic Church to abandon their previous differences and share the same hatred.
It is obvious what the situation will be like when the allied forces of Eastern and Western Rome are destroyed, leaving behind a chaotic Western Rome and a severely weakened but independent Eastern Rome.
The major principalities of Western Rome were fighting against each other, and all the dukes claimed that they were the heirs of Emperor Otto the Great. However, Eastern Rome quickly recovered its strength by doing business with Yu.
We dare not offend the great Yu in the East, and it is an inevitable trend to unify the Catholic Church in the west.
In recent years, the Catholic Church has become very stupid.
Luo Kangrui continued: "Faced with the pressure from the Eastern Romans, in recent years the Western Romans have developed a belief called chivalry, which combines benevolence, honor, bravery, faith, forgiveness, tolerance, and friendship..."
"etc……"
The more Luo Youdu listened, the less he heard it, and he asked suspiciously: "You are talking about the spirit of chivalry? How come my father sounds like my Confucian spirit of benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom, faith, loyalty, filial piety, brotherhood, integrity, forgiveness, and courage?"
, shouldn’t it be humility, honor, sacrifice, mercy, justice, spirituality, etc.?”
Luo Kangrui was not quite able to understand the meaning of his father's words, but he was used to his "nonsense" from time to time. He said with a bit of pride: "I, Yu, are surrendered all over the world, and the direction of Yu's wind is the direction of the world's wind.
My father said he likes the color red, and within a few years, the world will be red. Neo-Confucianism is the core of our Chinese culture. It has been learned and respected by all countries. It is not surprising that the spirit of chivalry has been affected."
He paused and said: "According to the child's information, Basil II is suffering from a serious illness and will die soon. With his character, he will definitely not be willing to die like this. Before his death, he will definitely spend all his energy on the Western expedition. No matter who wins or loses,
In the end, they will definitely turn to me, Dayu, and then they can intervene in an open and honest manner."
Luo Youdu nodded in approval.
Luo Kangrui said: "As for the Dongyu continent, I also have opinions."
Luo Youdu adjusted his sitting posture to make himself more comfortable and said, "Tell me about it."
Luo Kangrui said: "I think my father's policy in Dongyu Continent is gradually unworkable. Not only can benevolent policies fail to win over the people, but it has created a lot of friction."
Luo Youdu looked calm and said: "So, do you agree with the military's intention to launch troops on Dongyu Continent?"
Luo Kangrui shook his head and said: "The military is too aggressive, which is not a good policy. Like my father, I feel that we still need to implement benevolent policies and treat them with benevolence and justice when dealing with Dongyu Continent."
Luo Youdu became more energetic and said: "Then what is the difference between your approach and my previous approach?"
The Imperial Court of Dayu has built six states and thirty-one cities in the Dongyu Continent, and its forces have penetrated directly into the central part of the Dongyu Continent, but the deeper they go, the more serious the resistance they encounter.
In order to resist the expansion of the imperial court, the die-hard local residents united and took advantage of the terrain to launch a violent resistance.
Many parts of the Dongyu continent are undeveloped and the terrain is complex. The local army is more than sufficient to maintain local stability, but it is unable to penetrate deep into enemy areas. It is necessary to mobilize large armies from the Central Plains for a cross-sea expedition.
Luo Kangrui said: "Those who are stubbornly resisting now are die-hards. The benevolence and righteousness in words and deeds cannot convince them. I think that only through comparison can they understand the good intentions of their father."
Luo Kangrui took a map of the West from his arms.
This map is more detailed than the one originally drawn by Luo Youdu. The merchant travelers of Dayu used their own boats and feet to measure it.
"These are the three islands in the West China Sea..."
The three islands in the West Sea are the three British islands. Today, Dayu has the right to speak in the world, and the world pattern is determined by the Dayu court.
There is no Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Arctic Ocean, Indian Ocean, only the corresponding East China Sea, West Sea, North Sea, South China Sea...
"Father, I don't know. In recent years, a powerful barbarian force has appeared on the three islands of the West China Sea. It is said that they are brave and fierce, and their methods are brutal. They burn, kill, and loot, and commit all kinds of evil."
Luo Youdu didn't speak, just hummed in his heart: You don't know anything about me, aren't you an Anglo-Saxon?
The future is known as the founder of "civilization", but this era is synonymous with barbarian pirates. Even if he later puts on a good-looking skin, the barbarism in his bones is still alive.
Luo Kangrui continued: "The barbarians of the West Sea have occupied the three islands of the West Sea. With their ferocious style, plundering is inevitable. I think I can lure them to the East Yu continent to make those Yin people who are dissatisfied with my rule of Dayu (
Indians) compare what is barbarism and civilization.”
"This also has the advantage of preventing the West Sea barbarians from expanding eastward and breaking our layout and balance between East and West Rome."
Luo Youdu looked at the confident baby son in front of him, laughed loudly, and just said four words: "Let's go and do it!"
With you like this, Dayu has a bright future...
It's time for me to let go of everything.
