Cold winter season.
It got dark pretty quickly.
Bu Suanzi sat in the car, looking a little tired.
“Master, I’ve suffered…”
"I don't mind that." Bu Suanzi opened his eyes and said calmly, "Emperor Feng is a natural born hegemon, destined to be a dictator in the future. He is extremely ambitious and determined to expand his territory. He will do anything to achieve his goals, and one day he will suffer the consequences."
"Maybe."
Ning Que looked out the window.
It was all white at the moment.
The streets were lined with snow.
Snowflakes fell down one by one.
"Actually, I already knew this."
"My father thought the same thing."
“Only through unity can there be no more war.”
"If you want unification, there must be bloodshed."
"Our generation will suffer and make sacrifices. But a hundred years from now, our descendants will enjoy the benefits and will recognize that everything we do today is worth it."
“You take the long view.”
Bu Suanzi nodded slightly.
As a renowned Chinese thinker, he was not one to engage in casual debate. He maintained his own principles, never trusting gurus, but believing only in truth and facts. When faced with those whose ideas contradicted his own, he would not suppress them, but instead engage in thoughtful debate, ultimately seeking common ground while reserving differences.
So it was like this when they were in Kunlun Mountain. Occasionally, a disciple would stand up and refute Bu Suanzi's ideas. As long as the disciple's argument was not problematic, he would be allowed to discuss it on his own.
What Ning Que thought made sense.
To put it bluntly, it is the difference between long-term pain and short-term pain.
Choosing long-term pain means peaceful development in a corner.
When countries develop to a certain level, they will go to war.
There were countless casualties in the battle.
There will be no real peace for hundreds of years.
In addition, armaments must be maintained every year.
Weapons, armor, horses, chariots...
The key is that troops need to be mobilized to guard the border.
This is actually an unsolvable question.
Whatever you do, there is a reason for it.
"With you here, I can rest assured." Bu Suanzi smiled and said, "There is not only one path in this world. As long as we stick to our original intention and keep going, we will be fine."
"Yes."
Ning Que nodded firmly.
He pulled aside the curtain and looked to the side.
Ahead is the Gu family residence.
A luxurious four-horse carriage was parked at the door.
He knew at a glance that this was Tian Zhongxun's carriage.
I can only say that the current King of Qi is too arrogant.
There was no concealment in Chang'an.
It's almost like writing "I want to rebel" on his forehead.
Although he is a vassal king, he is so close to the Gu family.
Before paying a visit to Emperor Feng, he went to visit the Gu family first.
"Is this the King of Qi's carriage?"
"Um."
"He is quite bold," said Bu Suanzi, frowning and saying, "If we want to use military force against Goguryeo, the King of Qi may become an obstacle."
"This is the emperor's intention..."
Ning Que couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Goguryeo was a poor place, and the only thing it could offer was the slaves of Silla. Emperor Feng wanted to attack Goguryeo, ostensibly because they refused to submit to the king's rule and wanted to realize his ambition of expanding territory. In reality, he wanted to force the King of Qi to rebel, and then suppress them with lightning speed, thus weakening the power of the vassal state.
If we want to attack Goguryeo, you, the King of Qi, must send troops, right?
We need to train sailors and build a seaport, right?
In addition, the Dafeng army could naturally be stationed in Linzi, after all, they still had to actively prepare for war.
This is equivalent to hanging a sword over the head of the King of Qi!
In the grand scheme of things, there's absolutely no problem.
If the King of Qi refuses to obey, the rebellion can be suppressed directly!
This is actually what is called an open conspiracy.
No matter what the King of Qi does, it is difficult to change.
The most important thing is to be wary of other kings of different surnames who may play dirty tricks.
…
…
"Meet the prince."
"waived."
Tian Zhongxun sat in the seat of honor.
Looking calmly at Gu Yuan, whose face was covered with scars.
He heard it all on the way here.
I also know that the Gu family has become a fence-sitter.
But he didn't care.
This is how the Gu family survives.
We will side with whichever side has the benefit.
As long as it can be used by him, everything is fine.
"How is your injury?"
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness." Gu Yuan reluctantly raised his hand. "My injuries are now mostly healed, but those thieves from Xiliang crippled my hands. I'll never be able to hold a weapon again in my lifetime."
"That's nothing." Tian Zhongxun waved his hand calmly. "Generals often don't need to fight on the battlefield, they just need to have brains. Whether you can be a general or not, I can decide with just one word."
"Your Majesty?"
Gu Yuan looked up in surprise.
Even Gu Mingzhi was shocked.
"What does your Highness mean?"
"What I need is someone I can use. As for whether the general is a man or a dog, it's all up to me. I like raising dogs, especially hunting dogs. After the hunting dogs are castrated, they grow better and are more handy for hunting."
Tian Zhongxun took a sip of hot tea.
His fingers drummed vigorously on the wooden table.
"However, the most frightening thing about raising a dog is disobedience. I previously raised a hunting dog, but I never expected it to wag its tail at someone else. It thought it had found a new master. It even dared to bare its teeth at me, so I hit it to death with a stick!"
“Woof…Woof…Woof!”
Gu Yuan knelt down without thinking.
He kept barking at Tian Zhongxun.
“Hahaha, okay!”
"Good dog, good dog!"
"This king likes people like you."
Tian Zhongxun laughed heartily.
This time even Gu Mingzhi was stunned.
Looking at Gu Yuan who was kneeling on the ground and barking, he clenched his fists.
Gu Yuan is his eldest son, he knows it very well.
