Chapter 595; Say a few words
The strength of one company alone is no longer able to compete with Southern Xinjiang. If Dongzhou and Beichu gain ground again, Southern Xinjiang will have an opportunity to take advantage of them.
If the latter one is not handled well, both countries will be completely defeated by Southern Xinjiang or destroyed.
Almost everyone present thought of this.
"Your Majesty the Emperor of Dongzhou, Xirong has now declined, and there is no threat to southern Xinjiang."
"You don't want to see this world fall into the hands of the barbarians in southern Xinjiang, right?"
Everyone's expressions darkened again, with solemn expressions on their faces.
Indeed, the original strong state of the four kingdoms has become unbalanced after Beichu attacked Xirong.
Xirong is already semi-disabled, and Beichu has internal problems now and has too much time to take care of itself.
The integration of Dongzhou has just been completed, and it will take some time to fully control it. The most important thing is that Dongzhou is not a match for Southern Xinjiang at present. Once the war starts, Dongzhou's national power will also decline technologically.
As soon as King Jin spoke, Emperor Hongwen nodded without any trace.
Another minister stood up.
"Reconciliation is a good thing, but the price is not small and needs to be considered."
As for the generals, none of them spoke up to second their opinions.
If they agree with this, what do these confidants think of them?
Seeing so many ministers supporting reconciliation, the Dongzhou envoy's face showed a touch of relief, and Chu Zhiyi's eyes beside him also shone with joy.
Faced with the support of so many civil servants, Emperor Hongwen did not express his position. Instead, he turned his attention to King Jin.
"Second."
At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Lu Yaoyao, who was originally sitting, had stood up.
Who knows if Southern Xinjiang will defeat them one by one.
Another opportunity to unify the world after the previous empire.
He would not think that if Southern Xinjiang attacked Dongzhou, Northern Chu would send troops to assist. On the contrary, Northern Chu might even attack Dongzhou together and take this opportunity to plunder wildly to increase its own strength.
At this moment, everyone's attention was attracted.
"I second the proposal"
After all, if one country is facing off against three countries, even if Southern Xinjiang is stronger, it has to be cautious.
Reconciliation is the best way to avoid war. Once the news of reconciliation and marriage between Dongzhou and Beichu spreads, Southern Xinjiang will have to weigh things up after all.
The unification of the world is full of temptation for every emperor.
But the price to pay for this reconciliation is not small.
"Yes, Your Majesty, this is a decision we should make early in the morning to avoid a long night of dreams."
Hearing Wu Shilang's words, Wen Songtao was speechless. He was not a militant, so it was best not to open the site, so that Dongzhou could develop rapidly with the help of Lu Yaoyao.
And Xirong, they have a blood feud with Bei Chu. If Dongzhou unites with Bei Chu at this time and forms a camp, what will happen to Xirong?
Emperor Hongwen, who was originally looking forward to the reconciliation, was hesitant at this moment.
As soon as she said these words, those civil servants who had frowned and felt dissatisfied just now relaxed their brows slightly.
"However, I heard that what happened just now affects the entire Dongzhou. I can also be regarded as a citizen of Dongzhou. I wonder if I can say a few words based on this status?"
The hall fell into silence, everyone was thinking about the feasibility of this matter.
"Your Majesty, now that Southern Xinjiang is showing its sharpness, there is really no need to confront them head-on. I also agree with what Minister Wu said."
"Your Majesty, no, this matter is related to the future of Dongzhou, so we must not delay it."
It only takes two or three years for Dongzhou's national strength to increase a lot. Even if they don't unite with Northern Chu, it will be difficult for Southern Xinjiang to attack them.
"That's it for now. I need to think about it carefully."
Originally, Princess Wanfu should not have appeared on such an occasion. After all, what was being discussed was a national matter, and it has been said since ancient times that women must not get involved in politics.
After a while, Wu Shilang, who was the first to stand up and speak, once again raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is related to the fate of Dongzhou. I believe that reconciliation must take place."
"Princess Wanfu, do you have something to say?"
They have all read the letter sent by the envoy from Northern Chu just now. It said in it that a large number of people have been mobilized to the border in southern Xinjiang, and grain, grass and materials are also being transported to the front line one after another.
No wonder Southern Xinjiang is ready to take action this time. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Of course, if Nan Xinjiang attacks Bei Chu first, he will do the same, which will strengthen him a little bit and increase the chance of a final confrontation with Nan Xinjiang.
So Lu Yaoyao came over to sit here and they could turn a blind eye, but now seeing her like this and getting involved in political affairs made these scholars and civil servants feel a little dissatisfied.
After all, each of them has many confidants who have a blood vendetta against Beichu.
Although he understood the benefits that reconciliation could bring, Emperor Hongwen had to consider what Wen Songtao said just now.
"Prince Jin, what do you think?"
Seeing the civil servants below speaking out one after another, Emperor Hongwen didn't know what to say for a moment.
He was a little hard to choose for a while.
There is no need to offend His Majesty and Princess Wanfu because of this matter.
"As for the matter mentioned by Prime Minister Wen, it is not impossible to solve it. It is not impossible to just send officials down to do the work for the people."
However, Emperor Hongwen favored her, and Princess Wanfu did make a lot of contributions to Dongzhou. She was also low-key and came as she came.
However, if we are not reconciled and unite together, the southern Xinjiang side is also eyeing us, so we have to be on guard.
Even if they reconcile the alliance by then, they may not be able to establish an effective line of defense for a while, and the risks and losses will not be small.
He immediately asked.
Reconciliation can only gain an unstable alliance of interests, but it will lose many things, some of which are not very cost-effective.
The civil servants spoke again.
He also felt that the price of reconciliation was not small.
Although there are advantages to reconciling with Beichu, there are also disadvantages, especially since Beichu is also an ambitious person. No one knows whether they will go back on their words and do something in the future.
The civil servants who had been talking just now also looked at Lu Yaoyao, and the leading ones frowned.
Once preparations are sufficient, Southern Xinjiang will immediately launch a war.
"I am a female minister, and it is not suitable for me to get involved in national affairs."
The most important thing for a country is the hearts and minds of its people. If the hearts of its people are lost, the country will not be far from collapse.
It is true that she is a woman and she cannot get involved in political affairs, but she is also a citizen of Dongzhou and has the right to express her own opinions.
More and more civil servants stood up, and in the end only Wen Songtao and Dong Xiang remained silent.
"Well, then tell me."
Emperor Hongwen nodded in agreement.
"First of all, although I have the title of princess, in fact, I am just a businessman, and everyone knows it."
"I don't understand national affairs, so I will look at it from a businessman's perspective and say a few words."
