In the palace, Emperor Xia laughed loudly with the good news: "Good! All right! What a Xue Rengui! ”

"Come on, summon the ministers into the palace to discuss matters!"

"No!"

Gao Ming looked at Emperor Xia with a happy face, and his face also showed a hint of joy, and he hurriedly went to pass the decree!

It didn't take long for the carriages to drive into the imperial city quickly, and when they came to the imperial study, they all heard about the eastern realm!

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

From Su Xun and Jiang Shang, the two prime ministers, to the five ministers of the court, they all gathered in the imperial study at this time, and the corners of Emperor Xia's mouth were almost crooked, and he said softly: "Everyone Aiqing!" ”

"Now Marshal Xue has conquered 12 cities overnight, the three cities of Yishui, Juque Pass, etc., all of which are in the hands of my Great Xia, and the people under his jurisdiction are nearly one million!"

"Now my 200,000 troops in Daxia are repairing in place to prevent Donglai from counterattacking!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at everyone with a smile and said softly: "What do you think should be done to deal with the situation in Donglai now?" ”

"Is it a one-time rush or a step-by-step operation?"

As soon as the words fell, a little eunuch walked in outside the door: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is waiting outside the palace!" ”

"Let him in!"

A smile appeared on Emperor Xia's face, and he saw Luo Chen, Zhuge Liang and Xun Yu walking in together!

"See Father (Your Majesty!) ）”

Zhuge Liang and Luo Chen just gave their hands, after all, it was not the main hall court, and Xun Yu knelt on the ground and made a big salute respectfully: "The grass people see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

"Let's get flat!"

Emperor Xia's gaze mainly fell on Xun Yu's body, with a hint of scrutiny, and the eyes of all civil and military forces were also focused on Xun Yu's body!

In his heart, he was also secretly figuring out Luo Chen's intentions, but he didn't expect him to enter the palace with a cloth coat, but this person's bearing is really extraordinary!

Although the man was only wearing a plain clothes, his behavior was polite and generous, and he also had a faint smile on his face in the face of the emperor and the Manchu dynasty, and his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, without a trace of stage fright!

"My son thanked my father!" Luo Chen bowed to Emperor Xia again, looked at Xun Yu, and said with a smile: "Father, this person is Xun Yu, the word is Ruo, the son and nephew of Mr. Xun Anqiu, and he is also a talent of Qilin, and he has thousands of poems and books in his chest, so he brings him to introduce him to his father!" ”

Emperor Xia's face was slightly surprised, of course he knew Luo Chen's ability to recognize people, you must know that Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia and other great talents were all excavated by Luo Chen from the people, since this person is said to be talented!

Then what he said must be true, the most surprising thing to him was that this person turned out to be the nephew of Xun Anqiu, one of the four sages in Jiangnan!

"Xun Aiqing can make the prince so praised, he must have a great talent in his chest!"

Emperor Xia was also very happy today, Xun Yu noticed a playful smile on Emperor Xia's face, his face became more respectful, and his attitude became more rigorous, and he arched his hand and said: "Back to Your Majesty, thanks to His Royal Highness's love, the grass people can meet the holy face!" ”

"If it is about talent, the grass people are far inferior to His Royal Highness, Kong Ming, Fengxiao and other talents!"

Emperor Xia nodded with satisfaction and said softly: "Prince, you came just in time!" ”

"Now Marshal Xue is in the Twelve Cities, do you think this is war or peace?"

Luo Chen's face was stunned for a moment, and he asked with a little surprise: "Why do you want to make peace?" ”

"Father, now our army has conquered twelve cities overnight, you must know that after the Juque Pass, our army is on the verge of the Donglai Imperial Capital!"

"And now our army is in full swing, and Donglai has no will to fight, the dynasty is chaotic, the palace is infighting, and internal divisions are even more of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"As soon as we stop, and the Donglai Imperial Court is stable, integrates troops, and resists stubbornly, if there is another change in the western battlefield, we will be in a dilemma!"

As soon as Luo Chen's voice fell, the ministers also bowed slightly, Su Xun took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, now that our army has the advantage, presumably Donglai will definitely send envoys to negotiate peace, if you can negotiate peace with it, you will definitely be able to ask for benefits, and further weaken Donglai's national strength to strengthen yourself!" ”

"However, His Highness's worries are not unreasonable, if the western border is stable and worry-free, we can naturally spend it with Donglai, but now that the situation in the western border is unstable, the eastern border cannot be delayed!"

"Your Majesty, what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said to Su Xiang makes sense!"

Xu Chang, the secretary of the military department, also came out to stand!

"The minister also agrees with His Royal Highness the Prince's statement!"

Emperor Xia bowed slightly, "In this case, I will let Xue Rengui fight quickly, as long as we take Tianlai City, we are equivalent to controlling half of the Donglai Imperial Court, if we can hold the Donglai royal family in our hands, we can surrender without a fight!" ”

"Father, the top priority is to let the officials take over the twelve cities!"

"This time, we are marching eastward, and the cities we get in our hands will never be thrown out again, so from now on, hundreds of thousands of people in these twelve cities will be my people of Great Xia!"

"What Your Highness said is very true!" Su Xun also said solemnly: "Now that the twelve cities have just been taken by us, the people in the city will definitely be in danger, and they may even attack us!" ”

"Therefore, now there is only one way to appease the people of the Twelve Cities!"

"Stabilizing the rear, relieving the victims, opening warehouses to release grain, and accepting displaced people are the top priorities!"

Jiang Shang also stood up to reconsider: "Su Xiang is right, the minister suggested that the policy of benefiting the people should be introduced to exempt the people of Donglai for one year!" ”

"Yes! Fortunately, His Royal Highness King Yin had the foresight to measure the land and suppress Haoqiang, so he must not be too resistant now! ”

Emperor Xia thought for a moment and looked at Luo Chen: "What is the prince's opinion?" ”

Luo Chen smiled faintly: "Back to my father, my son has already discussed with Kong Mingwenruo before I came!" ”

"Wen Ruo suggests that the twelve cities should be implemented to benefit the people in twelve volumes!"

"Twelve?"

Emperor Xia immediately looked stunned, Guo Jia's theory of ten wins and ten defeats at the beginning can be described as a surprise, and now this Xun Yu has come up with twelve strategies!

"Tell me about it!"

Not only Emperor Xia, but even the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu also looked at Xun Yu with interest.

Xun Yu first bowed to Emperor Xia, and then bowed to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and smiled humbly: "The twelve strategies are not summarized by the grass people, but discussed with His Highness Kong Ming!" ”

"If there is anything wrong, please correct me!"

"One of them is to resettle the displaced people, now the Donglai Dynasty is chaotic, the Queen Mother is fighting for power with the Six Princes, and the people below can be displaced!"

"Second, open a warehouse to release grain and provide disaster relief! According to His Royal Highness, at least one-fifth of the people in Donglai are now unable to eat and wear, so to win the hearts of the people, opening a warehouse and releasing grain is the best way! ”

"Third, clean up the robbers and bandits......"
