A paper edict, an envoy, and a mouth can persuade the barbarians to make the barbarians a vassal of the state and avoid the wastage and **** caused by the soldiers. What is the credit? Great credit for splashing the sky! It must be a great credit for staying in the history and praised by all generations!

This kind of thinking is the most real and urgent desire of civil servants at present.

As for whether this idea is feasible, it is up to the benevolent to see the benevolent and the wise. Others might think that since the human race and the barbarian race are feuds, can they "be gentle with each other" besides fighting each other? Isn't this nonsense?

But in the eyes of many civil servants with dreams, nothing is impossible. Isn't a soldier who defeats a man without a fight is the highest glory that the literati aspires to? Nowadays, the barbarians are weak, and the old dynasty is strong. As long as the barbarians are a little aware of current affairs, they should also be soft and borrow the donkey. Isn't this a "soldier who won without a fight"?

Therefore, in the eyes of the civil servants, it is not impossible to persuade the barbarians to change the future situation of the two races by means other than war.

Including leftist Ye Lansheng is also a supporter of this idea.

Anyway, the fights are endless, why not try to get along with the barbarians in a different way?

But not everyone thinks that way, at least not because of this change in the Ministry of War and become optimistic. For example, Bai Changqing, Shangshu of the Ministry of Households.

Bai Changqing took the conversation and took a negative view of the emperor’s control of the Ministry of War: "Although your Majesty has always been in the middle of us and the army, in my opinion, your Majesty is still the main battle. Otherwise, he will not let the Dao Xing chief in the south. Zuo Yuliang actively exercises the military formation and arranges outside the customs. In addition, you may not be clear. Just a few days ago, your Majesty has ordered the large-scale transportation of grain to the south of the state storage granary, and the amount is more than ten times the previous."

Bai Changqing's remarks were somewhat secretive, but those present in the room were the leaders of the civil official group, and they would not go out and talk nonsense.

Ye Lansheng frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Bai Shangshu means...Your Majesty not only is the main battle, but has also been secretly promoting the advancement of the soldiers? But we are just staring at the army, but we are kept in the dark. ?"

"Yes. I think it will be more difficult to achieve our ideas now that the Ministry of War is under the control of His Majesty. His Majesty is eager to fight, after all, the last time his war with the barbarians was when his Majesty sat down and won a big victory, whether it is the previous results or experience, Your Majesty probably won't "sit down and talk" with the barbarians."

"Your Majesty fights, but the people's livelihood is the most important thing! Once the war is ignited, it is not the national treasury that is wasted? It is not as cost-effective to spend the money as to build a few more canals. Besides, how many people will die in the war? I will do my best to persuade you. Your Majesty asks your Majesty to change his mind."

"Yes! Isn't this our duty as officials in the court?"

"Tsk tusk, the duty is right, but your majesty's character...I think it's difficult!"

"How difficult? Could it be that you can't give up?"

Bai Changqing's words completely ignited the discussion. After all, everyone here can be regarded as a human being. After you click through it, you can naturally understand the meaning of the words. But if you want to give up, you can't help it.

"In fact, another way of thinking. The fact that the Ministry of War is now controlled by His Majesty may not be good news for us. This is equivalent to that your Majesty is on the side of the Ministry of War. Will it reverse us?"

As soon as these words were released, there was another silence in the study. What is said is the fact, and others have also thought of it.

Ye Lansheng turned the teacup, as if thinking about something, and the surrounding discussion gradually became quiet because of his long silence.

"grown ups?"

"I'm wondering if I can find someone who can speak up in front of your majesty to help and advise. The military affairs in the south are already urgent, and if you delay it, once the fight officially starts, you can't stop even if you want to stop it." Ye Lansheng The chief of the civil servants, Zhuhe is also looking at his horse. Once Zhuhe is under pressure, he will definitely be affected the most. No matter how you can't let the war begin so soon.

"Help? But don't all those who can help in this court now stand on our side? Who else?"

He also reacted wittily and quickly, and he hesitated for a moment before he said: "Zuo Xiang, do you mean those princes?"

Princes?

The eyes of everyone present were all fixed on Ye Lansheng's body, expecting the leader to give an exact answer.

"Yes. To be precise, they are the seven princes of your majesty. They have been moving up and down for the past two years. I know that some of you must have been in contact with them. But I warned you not to stand in line because you haven't. At that time, now I think I should be able to borrow the power of these princes."

After speaking, Ye Lansheng's eyes swept around, everyone around either bowed their heads, or pretended to look away, or pretended to whisper to the neighbors as if they didn't see it. Anyway, they didn't match Ye Lansheng's eyes.

These words are not easy to answer, especially those who are in their early days, they are easy to remember.

Ye Lansheng was used to this situation a long time ago. People say that the civil servants are more mindful, but in fact they are not false at all. UU Reading www. Who among uukanshu.com is not self-preserving? Asking the prince to take advantage of it is a good idea. To put it badly is to blend in with the "imperial power dispute". If it is not good, you will lose your head.

But Ye Lansheng couldn't handle this kind of thing alone, so he directly called out, "Master Bai, what do you think?"

Bai Changqing's mouth twitched, and he said inwardly: Why is it me again? !

However, when Ye Lansheng was named, Bai Changqing could not pretend to be deaf, otherwise he would not respect the status of the other party's leader. So after thinking for a while, he said, "Have you noticed that your majesty's control over several princes has become looser and looser in the past few years?"

"Indeed. But what does Master Bai mean?"

"I think... this is because your majesty is deliberately letting some princes do activities, and at the same time they are in the examination school, they are probably preparing for that. So, we are now taking advantage of the prince, is it appropriate? ?"

Smart people usually talk about seven points and three points. Ordinary people will think that doing this is hypocritical, and it is hard to listen to, but the advantage is that "understands naturally understand", and it is convenient to deny: I didn't say anything, it was you. Think it out!

Obviously Ye Lansheng and others are smart people, even if they are divided into high and low, it is not difficult to understand Bai Changqing's words.

"Hi...Sir Bai said so, it's really true!"

Some people reacted to the truth, their expressions were surprised; while some people were calm and very calm, obviously they had discovered it a long time ago but didn't say anything.

Ye Lansheng is the one with a calm expression, but he is not in a hurry to speak. Now Bai Changqing's conversation has been lifted up, so let others discuss and discuss first, and he will listen, and finally he will come to the conclusion.

Sure enough, after Bai Changqing did "the first bird", it was impossible for the others to listen. One by one, they started to calculate in their minds, but there was a lot of rhetoric on their lips.
