Logically speaking, Your Majesty is wise and powerful.
Even if you don't get angry about it, you shouldn't show that you're happy about it either.
Although what he said was indeed true, we should be on guard against a powerful vassal king recruiting soldiers and horses, right?
Why does His Majesty look so nonchalant now? Or has His Majesty anticipated this and already developed a strategy to deal with it?
Zhao Lingying couldn't figure it out, completely confused. In the end, she could only say, "Your Majesty is right, but shouldn't local officials pay close attention to the Prince of Yan's affairs? Furthermore, if he's doing this for the court, he should at least submit a memorial to the court, right?"
Since you are dealing with memorials, you naturally have to express what you think.
This is not only a responsibility to Your Majesty, but also a responsibility to the court.
However, when Wei Yunyi heard these words.
But he immediately shook his head and said, "My brother, the Prince of Yan, is devoted to the country, and Yan is his fiefdom. As a vassal king, he naturally has this power. As for whether he reports to the court or not, that is up to him. I do not require it."
"He is my younger brother, the descendant of the late emperor, and has the royal blood of the Great Wei. I believe that he will not do anything detrimental to the country."
At this moment, Wei Yunyi felt that what he said and his behavior were really too much like that of a tyrant.
After all, if he were a wise ruler, he would listen to Concubine Ying's advice and take precautions against this matter.
Otherwise, is it just relying on royal blood?
Just thinking that a vassal king won't rebel?
How is that possible?
There are many such incidents in history books, which is why every emperor would choose to guard against the vassal kings.
But now, he hopes that King Yan will do so. He doesn't want the other party to be afraid to act rashly because of his own actions, which will then lead to the failure of his plan to ruin his fortune.
Of course, Wei Yunyi was very clear that once the King of Yan started to rebel, a large number of innocent people and soldiers would be implicated.
But as the emperor, he can choose to go to war or not.
If we don't start a war and let the King of Yan waste his time, we can continue to consume the luck of the Wei Dynasty, which can be said to be of no harm to ourselves. During this period, we just need to prevent other countries from taking advantage of the situation and plundering.
But the current situation is that other countries simply don't have the energy to do so.
Besides, the Prince of Yan is showing signs of rebellion, but it will probably take some time to prepare before he can actually start the uprising.
By then, perhaps the problems of Tiandu Kingdom and the grassland tribes would have been properly resolved?
As for Concubine Ying, she said that Prince Yan would have to submit a memorial to the court no matter what.
This is very difficult.
Whoever is going to rebel would give warning in advance?
At this time, after hearing that explanation, Zhao Lingying didn't know how to start.
She was well-versed in history books and understood that it was indeed a bit absurd to believe that the princes would not rebel just because they relied on royal bloodline.
But he could also see in his heart that His Majesty had obviously made up his mind not to care about Prince Yan. If he said anything more, it would definitely cause His Majesty's dissatisfaction, right?
But if I don't continue speaking, wouldn't that be a betrayal of the trust His Majesty has placed in me in handing over the memorial?
At this moment, Zhao Lingying was a little confused and didn't know what to do.
Wei Yunyi naturally noticed this, and immediately walked up to her, smiling. He raised his index finger and lifted Concubine Ying's chin, saying, "Alright, my dear, don't think too much. It's such a beautiful night and I've just had some insights into martial arts. Why don't we learn from each other?"
After saying this, he walked away with Concubine Ying without caring about the other party's reaction.
Zhao Lingying screamed in surprise, but did not resist.
When Cuiguo saw this scene, she quietly left the bedroom and told the palace maids and eunuchs outside to be quiet.
...
The cabinet office is located in the Wenhua Hall.
Minister of War Lin Yuansong stood at the door and bowed slightly, saying, "Grand Tutor, Master Song, I will be leaving now. I'll leave you two to take care of the rest."
After saying that, he left without hesitation.
In the Wenhua Hall, only Zhang Zhengming and Song Gongwen were left.
It was already dark now, and they should have returned home early.
Especially the Minister of War should not be left behind.
That's why.
It was because the northern border, that is, the grassland tribes had taken some action recently, and the situation at Zhenbei Pass was very serious. As a cabinet minister, I had to respond in this regard.
For example, Lin Yuansong is here to check with the Ministry of War to see if there are any reserve garrisons in the northern prefectures.
In this way, if the situation in Zhenbei Pass becomes serious, we can respond immediately.
There are also matters related to the mobilization of weapons, horses, etc.
All need to go through the Ministry of War.
Song Gongwen also served as the Minister of Revenue. Any matters concerning food and fodder had to be discussed with the Ministry of War, including how and when to distribute them.
A war is not as simple as both sides gathering their armies and making preparations; many things are involved.
Take the Wei Dynasty for example, all the court and local government offices had to get up and running.
This will ensure that there will be no accidents in this battle.
Even if there are accidents, we can respond in time and make up for it.
Of course, this is based on the premise that the country is strong and united both internally and externally. Otherwise, even if there are more troops and more food, it will be useless.
The current Wei Dynasty is at this stage. Once it starts moving, it will not stop.
As for Zhang Zhengming, he was the Grand Tutor and the Chief Minister of the Cabinet.
Of course I have to stay too.
at this time.
Lin Yuansong has already left.
