Datang: My apprentice is Princess Changle

Chapter 549

5 Chapter Fifty

"The plan for now is to strike first." Tubo King said suddenly.

Pre-emptive?
Hearing the Tubo king's words, the hearts of all the people present suddenly jumped.

Several people, headed by the prime minister, looked at each other, their eyes wandering wildly.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean..."

"If this incident gets out, it will definitely cause some people to attack me. Since it is impossible to start with Datang, I will simply kill those who will be unfavorable to me after this incident is exposed."

"People die like lamps extinguished. Whether they are just or not is written by the victor. As long as I live and they die, then even if you and I will suffer infamy for a while, decades or even years later , who will remember what happened today?"

Bewitched by the Tubo king's words, the prime ministers also felt that it would be impossible to do this?
After all, although this matter has risks for them, the benefits are also great!
Even if the matter is exposed later, the one who bears the brunt of the scolding will be the king!

Not them!
They are just courtiers who are forced to obey the orders of the king!
And what the king said is right, even if someone scolds them for a while, it will be painless to them!
They are political animals. For them, the most important thing is not reputation, but rights!

Only when the power is firmly in the hands, will the extravagant pursuit of fame be pursued.

That's the icing on the cake, but not the most necessary.

In political struggles, those who fail can easily be annihilated in the torrent of history along with their families.

They don't know if this is the case in other countries, but it is indeed the case in Tubo!
If any family makes the wrong choice at a critical moment, it may bring about the nightmare of family decline.

And once you become a powerful minister, if you fail, you will die with your family.

Each of these people present can be regarded as a powerful minister.

Therefore, they are indeed more eager for power, and more unwilling to let go.

"Perhaps it is because the king has thought of these things that he lured us? Compared with the legendary Youzhou king, the king is actually more like a demon!"

The Great King at this time is completely different from the Great King in the past.

The prime minister raised his head and looked at the King of Tubo, sighing in his heart.

"Ah!" Qin Yang was playing chess with Zhang Yunji in Youzhou County, when he suddenly sneezed.

Zhang Yunji immediately said: "Your Majesty, you have been told to keep warm a long time ago. Although you are still young, when it comes to health preservation, you still need to listen to the opinions of the officials."

Qin Yang said speechlessly: "I'm not talking about Feng Han, this is someone talking about me! When it comes to health care, here in Youzhou, I am second, how can anyone dare to claim to be first?"

Such conceit made Zhang Yunji choke.

However, as someone who has been obsessed with health care in the past six months, Zhang Yunji is unwilling to admit that he is not as good as Qin Yang in terms of health care.

Seeing that he was about to open his mouth to speak, Qin Yang said without raising his head: "Tai Chi."

This sentence made Zhang Yunji choke directly.

He happened to see the king practicing a set of boxing before, and he was astonished!

His Majesty said that that set of boxing was called Taijiquan.

In fact, he had always wanted to learn this set of boxing from the king, but the king never taught him before.

Now that there is a possibility of learning, Zhang Yunji immediately admits to being cowardly.

"... Your Majesty is right!" he said immediately.

"You are the second in terms of health preservation, no one dares to be the first!"

Your Majesty's medical skills are indeed supernatural. Thinking about it this way, in fact, Your Majesty really thinks too much about health preservation than him!

Zhang Yunji recalled that his body had been conditioned by the king, and he felt that it was completely fine for him to say so.

"By the way, you also know, right?" Qin Yang said, "Chang'an sent people to Tubo, saying they wanted to question the Tubo people about Gu magic?"

"Your official has indeed heard about it. This time, the Tang Dynasty has the upper hand, and those other small countries will not stand on Tubo's side." Zhang Yunji replied while holding the chess piece and looking at the chessboard.

Qin Yang nodded.

After a moment, he couldn't help but urge: "However, we still need to be more careful about this matter, to prevent the Tubo side from jumping over the wall."

Qin Yang was amused, and said: "Why do you think, why did His Majesty and I have such an attitude? It's just to make Tubo jump over the wall in a hurry!"

"If they don't jump over the wall, how can we close the door and beat the dog?"

"Closing the door and beating the dog?" Zhang Yunji said at the same time, finally letting go.

"Yes, close the door and beat the dog." Qin Yang said with a smile, "What happened this time is enough to make the dogs in Tibet jump over the wall. If they don't jump, I will naturally have a backup plan."

Thinking of the things he gave to those caravans going to Tubo, Qin Yang thought to himself, those things should be useful, right?

Although these things are not extraordinary things in later generations, they are everywhere.

But in this era, balloons are quite magical.

If it wasn't for the fact that the kite was too conspicuous and difficult to fly, he actually wanted to think of a big kite.

Now that I think about it, maybe balloons are better?
As long as the balloons fly, those cloud-shaped balloons will be able to set off a huge wind and waves in Tubo.

Zhang Yunji was thoughtful.

Qin Yang continued: "Don't worry, I'm not afraid that they will come, but I'm afraid that they won't come. If they don't dare to come, it will be a waste of my layout."

Although he is not the kind of person who likes to do things, he is more like a salted fish.

But if you don’t solve the “evil neighbors” around you, how can you be a salted fish with peace of mind?

If you want to be a salted fish, the prerequisite is to make the environment in which you live really safe.

Of course, in order to keep his subordinates alive, he couldn't really make his soldiers feel no threat.

But soldiers have a sense of crisis, and the common people have a sense of crisis, these are two different things.

Why has Youzhou been poor in the past?
In the north, the harsh environment is one reason.

And there is more than one bad neighbor, which is also a very important reason.

After Qin Yang finished speaking, he continued to urge Zhang Yunji to play chess.

Zhang Yunji was very good at chess, but he was urged so many times by the king, and his own side was already at a disadvantage, so he immediately became flustered.

He didn't pay attention, and the chess piece that fell made Qin Yang check the army directly!

"As you can see, this is the result of being pushed and driven away repeatedly." Qin Yang said with a smile as he picked up the chess pieces and put them away.

Zhang Yunji immediately looked at the endgame on his side, thinking of what they said just now, he was surprised to realize that the king had been using the chess game to get closer to the topic they were talking about.

The king actually used a game of chess to prove that the king was right in this matter!
Sure enough, a person who is good at chess is also good at planning!
