As soon as Gu Bufan said this, the court suddenly became noisy.
Even Emperor Showa's eyes flashed when he heard his words and he signaled the guards to stop.
Seeing that he would not die for the time being, Gu Bufan breathed a sigh of relief. However, at this moment, he felt that he was about to break out in a cold sweat!
"What can you do?"
Emperor Showa spoke in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, the reason the Xiongnu in the north dare to repeatedly invade Great Yan is entirely because they are unaware of the strength of Great Yan!"
"I am willing to lead the troops to the northern border and will not return until the Xiongnu are driven back!"
Gu Bufan spoke in a sonorous and powerful voice, his eyes full of passion and determination.
Seeing this, all the officials were a little surprised, and there was a bit more appreciation in their eyes when they looked at Gu Bufan.
Emperor Showa looked at Gu Bufan but did not speak immediately.
Although Dayan was a powerful nation, the government was in chaos, with officials protecting each other and being extremely corrupt.
The Huns in the north have become increasingly restless in recent years, and the lives of the people in the north have been miserable. Emperor Showa is always troubled by this, but he has no way to solve it.
Those Huns relied on the advantage of the grassland. If they fought hard, it would only bring harm to Dayan!
If Gu Bufan really has the ability...
Emperor Showa was somewhat moved.
Gu Bufan felt relieved when he saw Emperor Showa lost in thought.
Fortunately, I had prepared a lot beforehand, so although my speech in the court was hurried, it was effective!
"Your Majesty, I think Guard Gu is absolutely right!"
Seeing all the officials silent, Xiao Ping quickly stood up and spoke in support, "It is truly an honor for Dayan that Guard Gu is so concerned for us. Heaven can only send Guard Gu to Dayan thanks to Your Majesty's wisdom and great talent!"
"I would like to nominate Guard Gu to personally take care of the sick to quell the chaos in the northern border!"
As Xiao Ping spoke, he kowtowed to show his sincerity.
But in his heart, he couldn't help but complain about Gu Bufan's remarks.
[As expected, the protagonist has a built-in cheat, no logic or brains needed! I won't return until the Huns are defeated.]
[As expected of a stud with only women on his mind, he made such a simplistic assumption about the Xiongnu Rebellion. Little did he know that by the time you got there, the grasslands were vast and the people would have already fled. Who would fight you head-on?]
[Besides, is this kind of thing really worth fighting for? The northern border is bitterly cold, and who among the Xiongnu would want to fight to the death if it weren't for the necessities of life?]
"If you only think about war, can't you just invade me every year and fight me every year? The people of the North will suffer terribly from the war every year, and the foundation of the country will be shaken!"
[It's obvious that if we could just satisfy the Xiongnu's needs through trade, wouldn't that mean the Xiongnu rebellion could be resolved without bloodshed?]
[As the saying goes, it is better to open up than to block...]
[Forget it, it's just hanging on the wall, no need to use your brain! ]
Xiao Ping complained in his heart, but he did not forget to continue to flatter, "Your Majesty, I think Guard Gu is a gifted man, why not send troops to resolve the crisis in the north as soon as possible!"
[I'm speaking up for the protagonist today. Even if there's a misunderstanding today, the protagonist can't be so shameless as to cause trouble for me later!]
[Anyway, as long as I don't marry Princess Kangding, there will be no grudges between me and the protagonist! ]
[Oh, then you can happily be my playboy! ]
At this moment, everyone's attention was on Gu Bufan. No one noticed that Princess Kangding's beautiful eyes fell on Xiao Ping, her eyes full of shock and disbelief.
She heard every word Xiao Ping said!
She never expected that such a playboy like Xiao Ping could come up with such an idea?
As long as the Huns' needs for life can be met through trade, who would want to fight?
Compared with Xiao Ping's plan, what Gu Bufan said was simply the words of a reckless man!
But how could Xiao Ping have such wisdom?
Could it be that everything that happened before was just his disguise?
"Father, I don't think it's right!"
Just as Emperor Showa was about to speak, Princess Kangding suddenly interrupted him.
Emperor Showa always doted on Princess Kangding. Even though he was deliberately interrupted at this moment, he was not angry. Instead, he looked at Kangding lovingly and asked, "Kangding, what do you want to say?"
Xiao Ping was also a little surprised and confused when he saw Princess Kangding suddenly intervene.
【What happened to this little princess? 】
[You are one of the male protagonist's concubines. Why don't you just wait for the male protagonist to capture you? Why are you trying to steal the spotlight here?]
[This is a matter of life and death, why don't you just honestly refuse the marriage? ]
Xiao Ping was anxious, but since he was still in the court, he couldn't ask questions casually. He could only suppress his anxiety and wait for Princess Kangding to speak.
Kang Ding heard Xiao Ping's thoughts and couldn't help but glare at him fiercely.
She was going to ruin all of this guy's plans!
Do you want to refuse to marry this princess?
Then this princess must marry you!
Want to hide?
Don’t even think about it!
Princess Kangding stood up and saluted Emperor Zhaohe very politely, "Father, if we were to send troops to the Xiongnu, they would definitely not engage us head-on!"
"The grasslands are vast. If the Xiongnu try to hide, it will only waste our time and energy. Hiding on the grasslands is like burning weeds, which will disappear with the spring breeze!"
"The reason the northern barbarians frequently invade is simply because the north is cold and desolate, and they're forced to live there!"
"Instead of sending troops to attack, it is better to satisfy their needs through trade. As the saying goes, it is better to ease than to block. As long as we, Great Yan, firmly grasp the Xiongnu's survival needs, the Xiongnu will have no choice but to submit to us, Great Yan, in order to survive!"
"As for what Gu Bufan said, it's just the bravery of a reckless man! Can you repel the Xiongnu every year when they come to cause trouble? Even if you can, the people on the border have been suffering from the smoke of war for years, which has cost them money and lives, and has brought nothing but harm to Great Yan!"
Emperor Showa never expected that Princess Kangding would make such remarks.
As an emperor, Emperor Showa quickly understood the benefits of the Kangding Plan.
The northern border is indeed as Kangding described.
The grassland is vast, and it is unrealistic to completely wipe out the Huns as long as they hide!
The Huns in the north lived on grazing, and once winter came, there was a shortage of food. Not to mention fruits and vegetables, even coarse salt was extremely scarce.
It is easy to control the Huns through trade exchanges!
It is better to unblock than to block!
It’s better to loosen than to block!
He never expected that his daughter would be so talented in politics!
Emperor Showa was still thinking about these things in his mind, while Xiao Ping was so shocked that he could hardly control his expression.
How could this little princess know that it's better to open up than to block? These principles were derived from hundreds of years of experience by our ancestors of the Xia Nation!
If she could even think of these things, wouldn't she have also thought of setting up a tea and horse bureau to strictly control the supply of salt, iron, and cloth, in order to use the Yi to control the barbarians?
How is this possible?
[It must be that I opened my eyes incorrectly. There's something wrong with this Princess Kangding!]
Princess Kangding listened to Xiao Ping's thoughts and felt a little moved.
If she had only guessed before, now she was certain.
This Xiao Ping!
He just pretended to be a dandy to hide his incompetence!
