When he learned the emperor's order, Wei Yiwen's eyes drooped, and the old prime minister became a little silent. He wanted to restrain the emperor, but although this emperor acted arbitrarily, he still had the power and reputation of the king.

Now the Grand Master Jiang Su in front is facing Qin Emperor Li Guanyi, and the battle has not stopped.

Although there has never been a real serious conflict between the two sides, small confrontations have never been interrupted.

Both sides were like martial arts masters, constantly testing each other.

Once the opponent delivers a fatal blow, a decisive blow will occur. In other words, the real battle that will lead to peace in the world will not be too far away. Wei Yiwen has expected this situation.

Originally, the countries were able to maintain a balance with each other for such a long time only because of the checks and balances of all parties, and because of the art of manipulation. Now there are only two countries left in the world, and both of them have reasons for having to fight.

Emperor Qin Li Guan was prosperous and prosperous for a year, but the only problem as a king was that he had no heirs.

In addition, he can almost be compared with those sage kings in history books, and the pillar of Daying Kingdom, Grand Master Jiang Su, is already old. For Emperor Qin, after unifying the world, it is natural to fulfill his ambitions.

.

But for Jiang Su, it was too late to delay.

When Jiang Wanxiang passed away, the situation of confrontation between the two countries was originally an extremely unstable state. Counting from Jiang Wanxiang's death, it may be one year, maybe several years, or at most no more than ten years.

Definitely unified.

It's just that the consumption of Jiang Su's cyclic training of troops in a low-cost way on the front line gave Jiang Yuan an illusion, making the young emperor feel that the consumption of front-line battles was actually not very big for this huge world.

"Stupid, stupid!"

"It's so stupid!"

Wei Yiwen made a fist with his hand and smashed it on the table, causing the table to shake and the cups to make a soft sound.

He said: "What a shame, even the mediocre kings of the previous dynasty couldn't have such methods as you. Isn't there no end to your desires?"

Jiang Yuan!」

Jiang Wanxiang has already cleared away the entrenched families and forces.

But perhaps it is precisely because this seasoned king has wiped out the old aristocratic parties and governments that will be entangled like vines, binding the new era, and using the new king as a puppet to suck blood.

I don’t know where these things came from, and these things that were not worthy of chatting and laughing with the nobles in the past have all come out.

At this time, Wei Yiwen even felt that His Majesty had eradicated those old forces too cleanly. In the past, these jesters who jumped around like grasshoppers could not pass the test of the aristocratic family.

.

"Your Majesty, did you expect all this?"

Wei Yiwen sighed.

He thought that it might be easier to deal with these jesters, who were like weeds and had no roots and only knew how to flatter themselves, compared to the kings who were completely controlled by the wealthy clans.

Jiang Wanxiang and Wei Yiwen had personally witnessed the era of aristocratic families, and they knew deeply how terrifying and intricate it was. Even kings and royal families were controlled by these aristocratic families to a certain extent.

Marriage, marriage, the influence of the mother's family of outstanding princes became their support, the competition between princes,

It was simply a brutal fight between the entire world and the nobles of the family, country, and family.

It is the so-called common world.

In that era, outstanding concubines from the royal family were easily soluble in water.

For them, eradicating the huge and entangled forces in the past will definitely cause new troubles, but it is also inevitable. Even Wei Yiwen himself is not able to take these duckweed-like jesters in his eyes at the moment.

.

"If Your Majesty wants to play, just let him play."

Wei Yiwen quietly affected the so-called canal excavation.

Of course he agreed to the emperor's request.

However, through these decades of experience, he quietly affected the progress of the entire matter. The canal was dug and completely completed in at least twenty years. When facing the king, he could not use force to force him.

You can only use this word "drag".

I just hope that the matter with the military god Jiang Su will end quickly. At the same time, I can barely bear the government affairs of the court.

I spend at least half of the month sleeping at the office.

But he managed to maintain the operation of this great country.

At least there are no signs of collapse.

But for some reason, it still reached Jiang Yuan's ears. Jiang Yuan was angry, shook his head and said: "Old man,

How dare you deceive me when I am young and play tricks like this here.

He walked back and forth, but then said: "But a mere subordinate dares to show off his power here, he is overestimating his own abilities!"

In the autumn of the third year of Daye, Emperor Ying Jiang Yuan led 3,000 cavalry out to patrol the large canal. Because the bridge was not completed, he personally executed Huang Gen, the envoy of Dushui, and nine of his supervisors.

After a few days, the bridge was completed and ready to go.

We went forward again, and the prefect Qiu He offered food that was very fine and delicious. When we arrived at Mayi, the prefect Yang Kuo of Mayi had a breeze in his sleeves, but there was no delicious food and beautiful women to offer.

Jiang Yuanran was dissatisfied, so he promoted Qiu He and moved Yang Kuoping to a miserable place.

So there were especially many people giving gifts along the way.

Many ministers knew that if they did not work hard to do these things, when the emperor's blade came down, it would not be a problem to chop themselves into pieces, and even the nine clans of their own family would be in danger.

And once you serve His Majesty well, you will be promoted.

Just a simple trip, Wei Yiwen's preparations have been easily affected. For many ministers, they only need to carry out His Majesty's orders, which is not something difficult to do in the first place.

If the progress is slowed down, life may be in danger.

Even if everyone knew that such things were only for the emperor's luxury enjoyment, and if they followed the emperor's wishes, it would be of no benefit to the world, few people would risk their lives to dissuade them.

Why bother with that little monthly salary!

Death is very scary.

But the rewards, promotions, and extended wealth are so tempting.

Therefore, all ministers and officials acted bravely.

Wei Yiwen's method was defeated by Jiang Yuan in an understatement. The old prime minister remained silent for a long time, sighing to the sky, knowing that Jiang Yuan was not the kind of person without brainpower, but his mental strength was not at all above his country.

They were all used to suppress and control officials.

It's not that Wei Yiwen is not the emperor's opponent, it's just that in the world, he, Wei Yiwen, is in the lower position after all.

To influence and control a superior person from a subordinate, the effort and means required are completely different.

On that day, Qin Yulong decided to stay away from Yingguo with Xue Peijun and their children.

He was already disheartened.

However, Qin Yulong stayed away from the border for too long and was eventually discovered. Someone sent a letter to the court. Jiang Yuan was furious and issued an imperial edict to escort Qin Yulong and his wife to the court. Only then did Qin Yulong know that among the border troops, there was fear that

There are quite a few Jiang Yuan’s eyes and ears.

He Ruo captured the tiger, Wei Yiwen and others tried their best to protect Qin Yulong.

Jiang Yuan became more and more angry. He threw the jade in his hand on the court and said angrily: "As a border general, he left his post without authorization and abandoned this army at the border. What is Qin Yulong going to do?!"

"Are you going to hand over all the border gates of our Daying country to Li Guanyi?!"

"Or, by the way, give him the army of warriors as well?!"

Wei Yiwen remained silent for a long time.

This old man who has been struggling in official circles all his life can't help but curse, but you don't know,

Why did Qin Yulong come back!?

Even so, he still felt a sense of resentment toward Qin Yulong in his heart. He felt that Qin Yulong would do such a ridiculous thing for a female prostitute, but it was okay.

However, he also knew how much weight a famous eighth-level general, and one who could almost defeat other eighth-level famous generals, had in such a situation.

He did not approve of Qin Yulong's actions and choices.

If a female prostitute is born, the worst she can do is marry a princess to make up for it.

However, he valued Qin Yulong's importance and said: "General Qin Yulong, there is a reason for the incident. Moreover, the general's clever calculation ensured that there was no war at the border, and the affairs of the country were not lost."

"Your Majesty, please take a look at General Qin Yulong's hard work and meritorious service for the country and give him a small punishment."

Jiang Yuandao: "How can the important events of our family and country be erased with just two words of merit?"

"Those who have been beheaded by powerful ministers in the past have all done meritorious service to their country, country, and country. Why, shouldn't they die?"

"Can the previous efforts and consequences be offset by each other?!"

"Your official rank, wealth and honor are all given by your family and country. It is natural and proper to perform your duties for the country.

And such a big mistake is to disobey the king, father, and prime minister. It is inappropriate to have to do something that should be done to compensate for the crime of gross disrespect, isn't it?"

Wei Yiwen knew that Jiang Yuan was beating him.

The old prime minister was silent, and seemed to be struggling whether to protect Qin Yulong.

Jiang Yuan suddenly asked: "How old is the Prime Minister now?"
