Chapter 699: No Ministers, No Tribute, No Affinity

"The King of Shu is dead. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Xiao Ming closed the fold sent by Di Ying.

A month after Xiao Zhen led 20,000 people into Shu, he got the news.

Because of this matter, Fiji and Pang Yukun both went to the imperial study to discuss the matter together.

"As expected by the minister, this King of Shu really refused to surrender." Pang Yukun said.

Fiji said: "This Xiao Zhen's last-minute righteous killing of his relatives is a high move, which not only makes the emperor praise him, but also wins the favor of the wealthy family in Yizhou." ”

"But these three princes are also ruthless enough, this is his own brother." Pang Yukun said seemingly unintentionally.

Xiao Ming glanced at him, Pang Yukun was just reminding him that the third prince was a ruthless person and asked him to be on guard.

"I understand what you mean, so I am ready to issue an order to remove the name of the vassal state of Shu, set Shu as a government, and the army of Shu will be commanded by Di Ying for the time being, so that the third prince is a toothless tiger, if he behaves out of line, I can finish him off at any time." Xiao Ming said.

Pang Yukun nodded, "The most taboo thing for the vassal king is to grasp the military and political power, and now we only need to master the army to be able to control Shudi." ”

"In addition, we will send some loyal officials over, so that this Shu land will be no different from Wei land, and the three princes in Shu will only be exiled." Fiji said.

Xiao Ming nodded, he naturally had no mercy for the three princes, no one was pitiful or pitiful.

He didn't kill him, just because he took Shu without blood, which was a great achievement, which was enough for him to continue to enjoy the glory and wealth, but it was impossible to continue to enter the political center of the Great Yu Kingdom.

After talking about the matter of the three princes, Xiao Ming led the two to the map, in addition to discussing the establishment of Yizhou Mansion, he also looked for the two for the sake of the barbarians.

During this period of time, the twists and turns at the border pass were one after another, and the content of the twists and turns was much the same, all of which were news of the barbarian people's movements at the border pass.

It's just that both Shanhaiguan and Juyong Pass are guarded to death, and the barbarians seem to have a headache too, and they often drive the slave soldiers to retreat after testing the attack.

However, this situation still caused uneasiness in the government and the opposition, and even the statement of harmony came out, which made Xiao Ming very angry.

The two of them looked at the several circles on the map, which were all places that had recently been tentatively attacked by the barbarians, and they were all important checkpoints on the front line of the Great Wall.

"Your Majesty, now there are some outrageous remarks about the barbarians in the court, and some officials' kneecaps are weak again, some want to be ministers, some want to pay tribute, and some want to be friendly, and so on, it's ridiculous." Pang Yukun sneered.

Fiji said; "When the emperor was there, he had been blaming himself for compromising with the barbarians, if he hadn't let the barbarians enter the customs back then, he wouldn't have let the Great Yu Kingdom decline to this point, the emperor is the master of ambition, so he naturally doesn't have to pay attention to the little people in the court, the old minister thinks that the barbarians are not greedy enough, and only if they are subdued, they will put away their claws."

"If you say this, I can rest assured, as the so-called upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, if you also have the same idea with them, this court will be over."

After a pause, he said to the two; "You go back and tell them that my three principles will not change, do not be a minister, do not pay tribute, do not make peace, whoever wants to be a minister will take off his official uniform and go to the barbarian to be a minister, I will not stop him, I will not stop him, I will not stop him with his own silver and give it to the barbarians, as for those who want to be friendly, let them send their own daughters, and whoever dares to send a fake one, I will cut off his head."

"Hahaha......" Pang Yukun laughed, "Your Majesty, if this is the case, I'm afraid that none of the ministers will dare to agree. ”

Fiji nodded, "When I go back, I'll tell them what the emperor said." ”

Xiao Ming shook his head, some people can't stand up when they kneel, if you let him stand up, he will scold you.

Now there are such a group of people in the court, and he has asked Qian Dafu to write down the names of these people, and he is going to check whether these people are corrupt in the future.

According to convention, those who like to kneel tend to be greedy for money and lustful.

However, Xiao Ming didn't let the two of them look at the map for the sake of the barbarians, and now with the pass barbarians on the first line of Yanyun, there was no way to enter the northern hinterland for a while.

The purpose of the two of them was to go to Goryeo.

So he said: "Let's not mention the affairs of this barbarian tribe for the time being, today I want to talk to you about the affairs of Goryeo, and I think it is time to clean up Goryeo." “

"Another war? Your Majesty, there is really no silver to fight now, not to mention that this Goryeo is far away from the Great Chongqing Kingdom, which will definitely mobilize the army again. Pang Yukun cried directly to poverty.

Fiji echoed the road; "Your Majesty, Pang Shoufu is telling the truth, the treasury is just a little silver, the emperor has set aside six million to support industry, and on weekdays, he has to open mines, build schools, and build roads, and he can't make ends meet in this way."

Xiao Ming also understood the current situation, and he said to the two: "That's why I want to fight Goryeo, and it is natural to fight in the country to get poorer and poorer, but it is a cost-effective business to fight Goryeo, and over the years, the Great Chongqing Kingdom has offered a lot of silver to the barbarians, and now I also want to let Goryeo offer some silver to the Great Chongqing Kingdom." ”

After a pause, he continued: "And the fight against Goryeo is also for the sake of merchants selling goods, and at the same time to cut off the arms of the barbarians. “

Both of them are smart people, and they can figure it out when they think about it.

Pang Yukun said: "Your Majesty, since this is the case, just let the merchant give the materials and expenses for this attack on Goryeo." ”

Now Fiji and Pang Yukun are surprisingly unanimous, he said: "Since the attack on Goryeo is for the sale of goods, this war is fought for the merchants, and they really can't say that they don't have money, so it is better to sell the trade of Goryeo to these merchants in exchange for supplies and silver." “

Xiao Ming nodded slightly, this was the purpose of his two people, he said: "This is also my idea, so you go and talk to the merchants, and let the merchants use the money to buy the trade rights of Goryeo, how about it?" “

"Yes, Your Majesty." The two bowed in response.

The solution to the problem of funds is the problem of attacking Goryeo, and the best way for Xiao Ming to fight is of course to keep the enemy out of the country.

It is better to smash other people's homes than to smash their own homes, and this time his attack on Goryeo is a cause for trouble.

And it would be even better if the barbarians changed their strategy because of this, so that the pressure on Yanyun's front line would be much less.

The three of them agreed on this matter, and Xiao Ming sent a letter to Yue Yun at this time, asking him to prepare, the main force of this attack on Goryeo was the navy and the marines.
