The Invincible Sixth Prince

After drinking with Su Zan, Yun Zheng ordered someone to send Su Zan back to the inn.

Yun Zheng didn't know whether what he said to Su Zan was useful.

All I can say is, I hope it helps!

He was absolutely sure that he could capture Xiqu.

But conquering the enemy without fighting is the best way.

If you don’t manage a household, you don’t know how expensive firewood, rice, oil, salt and other fuels are!

After all, fighting a war will ultimately increase consumption.

Wouldn't it be better if both sides could pool their money and grain and use it to develop the economy and improve people's livelihood?

Yun Zheng did not return to the prince's mansion, but went to the imperial palace. He ordered people to summon Xiao Wanchou, Tang Shu, Tuohuan and others to discuss matters. He also specifically asked Xiao Wanchou to bring Xiao Dingwu, who had just returned to the imperial city to report on his work two days ago.

Yun Zheng waited in the palace for a while, and then people arrived one after another.

After everyone arrived, Yun Zheng motioned for everyone to sit down and went straight to the point: "I just talked to Tuo Huan for a while. I think Xiqu is not very willing to surrender now. We still have to fight a battle with Xiqu!"

Still have to fight?

Listening to Yun Zheng's words, everyone had different expressions on their faces.

Several civil servants looked helpless.

But the military generals' eyes were all shining.

"Then fight!"

Xiao Wanchou was the first to express his opinion: "Only if we hurt Xiqu will they be content! If we don't fight, then we will beat Xiqu until he loses his will to resist!"

"Yep!"

Xue Che, who had just returned a few days ago, immediately agreed: "Xiqu has been making a lot of small moves in the past few years. Even if they are afraid of the power of Daqian and don't fight a serious battle, they must still be hoping for a lucky break!"

Xiao Dingwu didn't say anything.

But the way he nodded like pounding garlic said it all.

beat!

Hit the one that's smoking!

This is an opportunity for Xiao Dingwu!

There is no chance to fight this battle, and I don’t know when the next one will be.

Although it is certainly good to be able to defeat the enemy without fighting, as a military general, who doesn't want to achieve success on the battlefield?

"If it is really necessary to fight, then we should solve the problem of Xiqu as soon as possible."

Tang Shu said: "Now many of the court's new policies are being gradually implemented. Once the West Canal is resolved, the court can develop peacefully and steadily."

Tang Shu agreed to send troops.

However, since we have to send troops sooner or later, it is better to do it sooner.

The sooner Xiqu is incorporated into Daqian's territory, the new policy can be implemented in one step!

This will save you from procrastinating any further.

"Since you want to fight, there must be a suitable reason, right?"

Liang Lunchen said: "After all, Xiqu is our nominal vassal state. When a superior country attacks a subordinate country, it cannot be attacked without punishment."

After Liang Lunchen said this, Tuohuan, Chen Bu and others nodded.

You can beat him, but you have to find a reasonable reason.

After all, it is important to have a legitimate reason for the teacher to do so!

"That's true."

Yun Zheng nodded slightly: "Everyone, think about it, what is the appropriate reason?"

As Yun Zheng finished his words, everyone began to think hard and start looking for reasons to send out troops.

"How about we deliberately provoke the Xiqu delegation, and then attack them on the grounds that they are unreasonable?"

"Xiqu is not stupid. At this moment, even if they break their teeth, they will swallow it with blood. How could they possibly offend the majesty of Daqian?"

"Then let Qinpu come to the imperial city to meet with the emperor. If he doesn't come, it would be disrespectful to our Daqian. We will attack him!"

"We don't know how long this trip will take. Besides, Xiqu has already sent an envoy. Isn't our excuse a bit far-fetched?"

"Yeah, even if it's just a random excuse, you still have to find a decent one!"

Everyone was talking about it.

At this moment, they also experience the feeling of pain and happiness.

In the past, I always wondered whether to fight or not.

But now, what they are thinking about is to find a plausible reason to attack Xiqu.

It seems that this reason is indeed not easy to find.

"Or, let Jiao Lu go and provoke Xiqu. As long as there is a small conflict, it will be Xiqu's unprovoked attack on our vassal state of Daqian..."

At this time, Tuohuan suddenly spoke.

"Ok?"

Hearing Tuohuan's words, everyone's eyes suddenly brightened.

This reason...seems like a good one!

"What if Xiqu endures it?"

Chen Bu asked.

"You can't bear it, right?"

Xiao Wanchou stroked his long beard and said, "If Xiqu can endure it, then we will just let Jiao Lu's troops march straight in and see how long Xiqu can endure it!"

"That's possible." Xue Che agreed.

"We have to make preparations for both scenarios."

Yun Zheng said seriously: "It would be best to prepare an extra reason, one to paralyze Su Zan, and one to start a war with Xiqu!"

"Paralysis Suzan?"

Everyone is puzzled.

Yun Zheng smiled at everyone and said, "Xiqu definitely doesn't want to go to war with us now!"

"But we have to have a reason to make Xiqu think that we want to go to war with them, and then give us benefits to avoid war!"

"And when they think they have successfully avoided a war, we will suddenly start a war with them for another reason, catching them off guard first!"

Listening to Yun Zheng's words, everyone gave him a thumbs up.

It has to be the Sixth Prince!

Even though he took control of the Daqian regime, he never forgot his roots!

This means you have to eat and take things, and then slap the owner!

Chen Bu suddenly had an idea: "The emperor appointed a grandson as the crown prince, but Xiqu, as a vassal state of Daqian, did not send a congratulatory letter. This is rude!"

"what?"

After hearing what Chen Bu said, everyone was stunned.

Isn’t this... a bit far-fetched?

It is to establish the Crown Prince!

It’s not like a new emperor has ascended the throne!

"Let's decide on this first!"

Yun Zheng nodded and said, "Think about it carefully later and see if there are any better reasons!"

Soon, the matter was settled.

Next, Yun Zheng began to discuss the issue of sending troops with them.

Yun Zheng meant that he would personally lead a large army out of Nanjiaolu, and then quickly charge into the territory of Xiqu, and together with the other three armies, launch a war to annihilate Xiqu!

"Your Highness, you must not!"

"The emperor has stopped interfering in state affairs. If Your Highness leads his troops to war again, how will the important matters of the court be decided?"

"Yes, Your Highness should stay in the court and take charge of the overall situation!"

"Now is the time to calm people's hearts. How can Your Highness easily leave the Imperial City?"

As soon as Yun Zheng expressed his thoughts, everyone started to stop him.

They also knew that Yun Zheng could not stay in the court.

But this is not a question of whether he can stay or not!

Now, someone in the court must take charge of the situation!

It's impossible that if something happens, we have to send someone to the front line at an express speed of 800 miles and let Yun Zheng make the decision, right?

Yun Zheng raised his hand to stop everyone, and then said to Tuo Huan and Tang Shu: "What do you two left and right prime ministers do?"

"Although my father doesn't interfere in state affairs, when there are matters that require his decision, can he not make the decision?"

"I am not afraid to tell you the truth. I just want to make the court accustomed to not needing me to make decisions."

"If you are not used to it now, what will you do when I go to war against Yu Country in the future?"

When going to war against the State of Yu, he must lead the army personally.

No matter now or in the future, the court cannot be allowed to function normally without him!

He stopped attending court every day a few days ago, and it was for this reason...
