Chapter five hundred and twenty seventh Wei Yong's ambition
Liu Mingzhi looked at Wei Yong's somewhat depressed expression and remained speechless. At this moment, he didn't know what to say.
Wei Yong's image in his mind has undergone earth-shaking changes. It is no surprise that Wei Yong is definitely a bad person, but he cannot be said to be a bad person in the true sense.
In terms of life, Wei Yong can definitely be said to be full of evil. No matter what his reasons were, no one can change the fact that he killed Zhongliang.
However, in terms of officialdom, Wei Yong was a conscientious official. As Wei Yong just said, as long as it was the government affairs he handled, there would never be any mistakes.
It can be said that Wei Yong's image is completely polarized.
He's not a good guy, but he's not an absolute bad guy either.
Liu Mingzhi took a sip of wine silently and bent down to inspect the map.
"Xiang Wei, please continue."
Wei Yong nodded slightly, took a bamboo pole with obvious patina from the table nearby and pointed it on the map.
"Look, Your Majesty, if the imperial court can carry out benevolent government according to what the old man just said, it will only take three to five years after the country is unified to be able to look forward to overseas countries.
Our elite dragon troops can completely divide our forces into two groups and launch a thunderous offensive against the Western barbarian enemies."
Liu Mingzhi had already vaguely guessed Wei Yong's plan in his heart, because Wei Yong's ideas were very likely to coincide with his.
Liu Mingzhi did not say anything, because he wanted to know how many surprises Wei Yong, an old fox, could bring to him.
"Xiang Wei continued!"
"Your Majesty, we want to start a Western affair, but relying solely on the 25,000 officers and soldiers of the large dragon fleet patrolling the Western Ocean in Hou'an River, Haining is far from being able to launch a thunderous offensive against the vast Western countries.
The first is the lack of troops, and the second is that the supply of food and grass cannot be replenished in time. Although it is possible to intercept the food and grass from the Western countries to replenish itself, once the officers and soldiers of the fleet encounter some difficulties, those captured from the Western countries are very likely to
The 1989 Hui changed sides in the face of battle and broke away from the control of Haining Hou.
Therefore, if we want to conquer the Western Ocean, we must launch a joint sea and land campaign to achieve the results we expect.
The speed of the fleet is much faster than that of the soldiers on land, so we can use the officers and soldiers of the fleet as an auxiliary party to control the strength of the Western barbarian enemies and help the soldiers on land to transport food and grass and plan expedition routes.
As long as they cooperate well, it won't be a big problem to conquer the Western countries.
Our great dragon elite land soldiers can also be divided into groups.
All the way up north, all the way down west.
Go north to attack Tsarist Russia marked on the map, and go west to send troops from the Western Region to India and other countries.
Liu Mingzhi suppressed the shock in his heart and nodded silently.
"Who will lead the two armies?"
"The soldiers and horses heading north are to collect the Turks under the rule of our Dalong. The old soldiers of the Jin Kingdom are mainly combined with our elite army. Except for the former champion General Hou Huo Qubing, no one in our Dalong knows the situation north of Yinshan Mountain.
What is the terrain like?
But the Turks are different from the Jin people. The Jin people rose to the north, and the Turks know the situation north of the Yinshan Mountain very well.
After all, there are as many Turkic tribes near the Yinshan Mountains as there are cattle, and it is common for them to go to the Yinshan Mountains to graze.
Therefore, we must put our dragon soldiers and horses in a secondary position.
After all, compared to the Turks and Jin people, we can be said to have a blind eye on the situation north of the Yin Mountains, and have to listen to the instructions of the old Turks who are familiar with the situation in the Yin Mountains.
At that time, the world was unified and there was no distinction between each other. In fact, there was no such thing as the Great Dragon, the Turks, and the Jin Kingdom.
They are all just serving the imperial court."
"What about the soldiers and horses going west?"
"Naturally, the main ones are the soldiers from the Anxi Protectorate and the soldiers and horses from the countries in the Western Regions. They know the terrain in the west of the Western Regions much better than we do. No one is more suitable than them as the main vanguard force.
"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Wei Yong who was talking eloquently, with an unspeakable meaning hidden in his eyes.
Gently sitting on the chair, Liu Mingzhi put his hands on his chest and looked at Wei Yong with a complicated expression.
"I am suddenly very curious about something. I wonder if Prime Minister Wei can give me some advice?"
Wei Yong was startled and looked at Young Master Liu in surprise. He was talking about Shuxiang very well. Why did King Bingjian suddenly change the topic?
Although he couldn't figure out what Liu Mingzhi meant, Wei Yong still nodded silently.
At this point, everything that should be said and what should not be said has been revealed to me, and now there is almost nothing that needs to be concealed.
"Excuse me, Your Majesty, if it doesn't involve some secret matters, I will try my best to clear up your doubts for Your Majesty."
Liu Mingzhi pondered for a moment, then a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Prime Minister Wei, there is no need to worry too much. What this king is asking is nothing more than a trivial matter to Prime Minister Wei."
"Frankly speaking, although I have been an official in the same court as Wei for more than ten years, I have not had a close relationship with the Prime Minister of Wei. My understanding of the Prime Minister of Wei is limited to normal debates in the court.
What Prime Minister Wei said today can be said to have impressed me.
Therefore, I am very curious as to how an outstanding person like Wei Xiang was defeated by a clown like Ren Wenyue, the head of state.
In other words, when Wei Xiang became an official in the imperial court, was it really because he could not compete with Ren Wenyue that he had to choose to stay away from the imperial court?
Let's not talk about the past, just what Prime Minister Wei said today, let alone one Ren Wenyue, or three or five Ren Wenyue, are just a stronger ant in front of Prime Minister Wei.
Therefore, I am quite curious about the real reason why Wei Xiang became an official.
At least I can be sure that it was definitely not caused by the failure in the party dispute with Ren Wenyue."
Wei Yong stared at Mr. Liu for a long time and gave a helpless smile.
"Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from the prince's eyes. Ren Wenyue is just a small person who is powerful and powerful. In the eyes of the old man, he is really not a big person.
Perhaps when he was the governor of Chengzhou Prefecture, he had the ability to turn things around in Chengzhou.
But in a place like the court where crouching tigers hide dragons, if the officials in the court didn't care about the empress's face, he really wouldn't be able to cause any trouble!
The old man really wants to be acquainted with him, but there is nothing that can be done to protect his handiwork even if the Queen comes forward."
Liu Mingzhi thought thoughtfully for a while and looked at Wei Yong curiously: "Then why did Prime Minister Wei want to become an official?"
"My lord, I don't know. When my lord went north to conquer the enemy's country, the situation in the court was so erratic that it was difficult to see what was true. Ren Wenyue's rise was unreasonable, as if someone was secretly supporting him.
Lao Chan's overt inspection and secret investigation could not find out the identity of the person behind Ren Wenyue, so Lao Chan made a plan to retreat bravely.
In the first place, only one treacherous minister is needed to weigh in on the right minister in the court. If the old man continues to stay in the court, sooner or later he will become a stepping stone for Ren Wenyue.
Lao Chen was deeply touched by the horror of the people behind Ren Wenyue's backstage.
Ren Wenyue is nothing to fear as a clown, but the person behind him is anything but ordinary.
The old man had the courage to protect himself wisely and retreat bravely from the rapids.
Secondly, the old man is actually tired of the intrigues in the court, and has long thought of retreating. However, since the assistant minister has the imperial mandate, the old man can only continue to serve His Majesty.
It just happened that Ren Wenyue, a somewhat unbelievable and underachieving person on the rise, came along, so I just took advantage of the situation."
Liu Mingzhi nodded understandingly and sneered twice.
"As expected of an old fox who has been in the court for many years, he is indeed cunning."
"Prime Minister Wei has said what should be said and what should not be said, and I understand the cause and effect of everything. It is time to send Prime Minister Wei on his way."
Wei Yong was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a slight smile, his expression as calm as autumn water.
Wei Yong bent down and rolled up the map on the table, then placed the map in front of Young Master Liu.
"I hope that the prince can help this dynasty become an unprecedented prosperous empire."
"Please take action, Your Majesty. I beg Your Majesty to give me a happy life."
Liu Mingzhi took a deep breath and unsheathed his sword with sharp movements. A loud sword roar came from the Heavenly Sword, and the cold blade caused the temperature in the room to drop for a moment.
Liu Mingzhi gently lifted the Heavenly Sword, picked up the wine jar on the side with his left hand and held it in his hand.
"Since I drank your wine, I will send you on your way without causing you much pain."
Wei Yong nodded silently and slowly closed his eyes.
Young Master Liu raised the wine jar and started drinking. In a few breaths, all the remaining wine was gone.
"belch........"
Young Master Liu let out a wine belch and dropped the wine jar on the ground with his drunken eyes.
"Didn't I go to Tianxiang Tower? What a shabby place this is. Why is it so shabby? It seems that I drank too much again and entered someone else's house."
"belch........."
Young Master Liu burped again, staggered towards the door with the Heavenly Sword in hand.
He looks like a lonely drunkard.
Hearing the sound of the door suddenly closing, Wei Yong slowly opened his eyes and sighed.
"Why bother? It's better to give the old man a happy life."
After Wei Yong finished speaking, he looked at the gentleman's sword hanging on the wall that he had always worn in the past, and walked slowly over.
There was a soft cry, and peace returned to the people's courtyard.
