Chapter 63: The Master of the Demon Sect (Part 2)

"The old minister has different opinions." Just as I was hesitating, Tao Qian suddenly spoke.

"Tao Aiqing, tell me quickly." I was delighted. Although Tao Qian didn't have many opinions, he was sure of what he said from his mouth.

Tao Qian said seriously: "As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. The countries in the Western Regions rebelled at the same time, and it is almost certain that there are major conspiracies. However, before figuring out their conspiracy, it is probably inappropriate to set a strategy rashly."

His words made us all the same. As he said, it was really irrational to formulate strategies without even figuring out the basic information.

"What do Lord Tao think?" Duan Hong couldn't help but ask.

Tao Qian thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "First of all, we must find out who was secretly provoking the rebellion of the Three Kingdoms. Secondly, we must find out what purpose it is. In addition, we must also find out what method the man used to attract the three kingdoms of the Western Regions to rebel."

We have not thought about his words before, but they have been ignored. Duan Hong and Jian Lingtai couldn't help but blush.

Who is Tao Qian? It's an old fox. This is my conclusion about him. Duan Hong, Jian Ling Taishang was young and had insufficient experience. If you try it out in time, you will not be much inferior to Tao Qian.

"Tao Aiqing, is there any object of doubt in your heart?" I asked.

Tao Qian slowly closed his eyes, thought for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "That depends on who can get the greatest benefit if this matter can be successful. Dashi and Tianzhu have their own surnames."

"Dashi, Tianzhu?" I responded slowly. These two countries can be considered relatively powerful countries. Are they not satisfied with the status quo? They provoke the rebellion of the Three Kingdoms, and use it as a springboard to point the finger at Dawu? Indeed, Tao Qian suspected that these two countries were not without cause. Both countries are powerful countries and can provide sufficient protection for the rebellion of the Three Kingdoms. Moreover, the rebellion of the Three Kingdoms is also in the interests of those two countries.

"In contrast, Dashi is most suspicious." Tao Qian continued to explain: "Dashi Country has strong soldiers and strong horses. In recent years, it has continuously annexed small forces around it and has gradually grown into a country that has to be guarded. It is almost bordering the three countries, so it is not difficult to contact and provoke. Furthermore, Dashi has always mastered the Silk Road in China. Although the Silk Road has been interrupted for a long time due to war, the benefits it can generate are enough to make Dashi salivate against the land of China. Instead of mastering one line to collect money for buying roads, it is better to grab the entire market."

Tao Qian was the Minister of Rites and did not take it for nothing. He analyzed the various countries' ***** very thoroughly.

"Furthermore, although Dashi is strong, it is surrounded by enemies. Now it is strong, and others dare not provoke it. But if it becomes weak in the future, it will first be swallowed up by small countries around it. For Dashi, only by constantly growing itself can you be safe. The Dawu Dynasty has a fertile land and a natural barrier of thousands of miles of oceans. For Dashi, it is definitely an attractive delicacy for Dashi." Tao Qian continued to analyze.

Now it seems that Dashi has a motive, but it makes me feel secretly angry. What do those bastards think of Dawu as? A dish that you can taste at will? Does every country want to come up and stretch out a chopstick?

In contrast, the evil neighbor, the Eastern Turks, became cute. Although they have been in conflict with the Great Wu Dynasty for hundreds of years, their purpose is to make money. Moreover, the two countries have always been a wise move, and there are few such conspiracies and tricks involved.

When you are calculating others, others are also calculating you. This sentence is indeed true.

"Hmph, anyone who dares to underestimate my Great Wu Dynasty will have to pay a price." I said coldly: "Whether it is the big food or the Japanese state, one day, I will step on them under my feet."

"I am willing to assist the emperor in fulfilling this ambition." Several important officials knelt down and shouted.

"Tao Aiqing, since Dashi is the most suspicious target. Tell me, how to deal with this bad intention of Dashi?" I asked immediately.

Suddenly, Jane Lingtai's eyes flashed, as if she had thought of something.

Tao Qian is worthy of being an old fox, and he also has such small details in his eyes. He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Master Jian is quick-witted, why don't you listen to what he says first."

I noticed it too. Then I chuckled and said, "Okay, Jane Eyrekking, what are the best solutions to deal with it."

Jian Lingtai was not polite and then bowed: "If Dashi had such ambition, things would be much easier."

"Oh." I was attracted by his words and immediately said, "Tell me quickly."

"Zhengru Master Tao's analysis just now, Dashi needs to continue to strengthen himself in order to protect himself. The surrounding small countries and tribes have been fought by Dashi for years, and are afraid that they have hated him to the core. Now it is just because Dashi is strong that he is suppressed and dared not move." A gleam suddenly flashed in Jian Lingtai's eyes: "This is like a person standing under a dangerous wall. The reason why the dangerous wall does not collapse is because the man supports it with a piece of wood. However, as long as we remove or destroy that wood, that person may be unable to take care of himself. How can he stretch out his fist to hit others?" Jian Lingtai's metaphor is very vivid and appropriate. While Dashi poaches others' corners, he will also taste the feeling of being poached by others.

"Mr. Jian is indeed amazing, and the old minister didn't expect this festival." Tao Qian said, without a trace of expression on his face, but just agreed: "This strategy is very feasible. There are dozens of tribal countries around Dashi. As long as we provoke a few major countries and share them together, Dashi will be afraid that it will be too busy to take care of itself at that time."

"In addition, the relationship between Tianzhu and Dashi seems to be poor. The two countries often have differences due to trade issues, which leads to conflicts." Jian Lingtai has been studying other countries since becoming the chief clerk of the Ministry of War. At this time, he said catchyly: "If we can make good use of this, Dashi will not be able to do without a headache at that time."

"It's so wonderful." I stood up and said with a smile: "As long as this strategy can be successful, it will not only dissolve the crisis in the Western Regions, but also avenge a revenge. Let the bastards of Dashi taste the feeling of being frustrated."

"Lingtai, this matter is left to you with full authority. We will try to complete it when our country attacks Japan." I ordered: "Tao Aiqing, the rebellion of the Three Kingdoms of the Western Regions will be left to you. We will first conduct diplomatic consultations with it, implement a policy of gentleness, and try to keep them from being as good as possible to attack Dawu. As long as they fall backstage, I will naturally collect their bones one by one." Tao Qian is an old fox, and he is naturally very good at using this method of delaying time.

Tao Qian nodded heavily and responded respectfully.

"Duan Hong, you are still intensifying the training of the army and the work of converting weapons in ships." I ordered.

Duan Hong bowed deeply and said respectfully: "I obey the order."

"Liu Aiqing, in terms of finance, you must strictly follow the policies and cooperate perfectly with various departments. You cannot save any money where you should spend money. You cannot spend money on more than one copper plate." I said to Liu Zhenming with a serious face. Liu Zhenming is indeed a good player in political work, but he does not know much about marching and fighting and strategic layout. This can be seen from several major discussions that he never interrupted. However, people are not omnipotent, and their administrative abilities are what I value the most. Even Tao Qian is a good at administrative work, but I don't know how many levels he has in his administrative work.

"I promised to live up to the emperor's holy hope." Liu Zhenming also responded with a serious expression.

"It's late at night, all my dear friends can go back and rest." I waved my hand and said, "Please keep it confidential next time. There is no need to mention it at the Ming Dynasty meeting."

"I am obeying the order. Long live my emperor." After everyone kowtowed, they came out one after another according to their official position.

Then I showed a trace of fatigue and lay on the chair of the Grand Master. I was really tired after rushing for a day and a night. However, as a ruler, you can laugh and scold the ministers. But you must not show any fatigue, and you must always be energetic.

Xiao Duozi hurriedly approached me and helped me massage it. He asked in the eunuch's soft voice: "Your Majesty, I see you seem tired. Just now, I have asked someone to help the emperor prepare the bathing soup. Did the emperor move to Qingbo Pool? Take a closer look at the wind and dust to calm down your spirits?"

I smiled softly: "Little Duozi, you still understand me. But now I am hungry, go to the imperial kitchen to get me some food first."

"I thank the emperor for the praise." Xiao Duozi smiled: "I have already prepared night meals, and I am afraid that it has been sent to Qingbo Pool. The emperor can take a bath and have a meal at the same time."

I was overjoyed. I immediately stood up and said, "Go and move on to Qingbo Pool."

"The emperor moved to Qingbo Pool." Xiao Duozi hurriedly bent down and held me, walked out the door, and shouted in a voice.

Sitting in the dragon chariot, I arrived in Qingbo Pool within a moment. The Qingbo Pool was already steaming, which shows Xiaodaozi's carefulness and delicacy.

I strode in, smelled the breath of water beads and said, "Come on, I'll wear a bunch of clothes with me."

"I follow the order." After the curtain, Niao Niao walked out of the woman in tulle, walked to me with a smile, and knelt down on her knees and said, "I will serve the emperor with a broad garment."

My face was happy: "Youhong, how could it be you?"
