Under Zhao Que's arrangement, the staff of several princes naturally gave their answers.
That is to use the economy as the foundation, drive out the tigers and wolves and destroy the three major alien tribes in the northern desert grassland.
"Da Gan is the ruler of the world. Isn't this method too detrimental to the harmony of nature?" The eldest prince still has some corrupt Confucian ideas in his character. He was influenced by them when he was a child.
Although he had seen some things during this period, and with the guidance and instruction of his three counselors, he had become more moderate in his attitude towards things.
But there was still some hesitation in the face of this strategy.
After all, if the plan were implemented, many people would die.
In his eyes, Dagan is the superior country.
When nations fight, they should do so with dignity and win on the battlefield.
Chen Qun and Zhao Yan looked at each other without saying anything.
But I didn't know what he was thinking, so I didn't try to persuade him anymore.
The remaining counselor, Zou Li, frowned and sighed inwardly.
Why has the eldest prince's illness recurred? How can he be merciful in such a place?
As a man who could not become an official because he offended someone, he just wanted to realize his ambition, so he needed the eldest prince to ascend the throne.
If the eldest prince in front of him is like this, how can he realize his ideal?
"Your Highness, do you know why you are not favored by His Majesty?" Zou Li did not give direct advice, but took a detour, and his words were extremely sharp.
“I wonder if Your Highness wants to be a saint in the grave, with kindness engraved on the mossy tombstone.
Or sit on the throne and implement your benevolent rule to the world under the praise of the people.
The Huns are nothing but barbarians, ignorant of propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame, and have never been educated. They are no different from monsters. Why should we pity them?
The sage said, "Without knowing propriety, one has no basis." That's all.
Of course, this is not what the sage meant, but Zou Li borrowed it to use it.
A sentence can have different meanings and interpretations in different eras.
Zou Li is not a kind person. His goal is to gain power in the world.
If the eldest prince refused, he would push him forward from behind.
When the eldest prince heard this, he was silent for a long time and thought of Zou Li's words.
I thought of my father's words: "A kind heart cannot be a king, and a strong body cannot be a leader."
Finally, he figured it out and nodded in thanks, saying, "Please give me your guidance, gentlemen."
“Please go to Jingzhou and win over the Feng family.
If the Feng family is unwilling, they can also show enough goodwill.
I heard that there are also some tricks of the Gongshu family, and we can win over a few of them.
If this plan is to be implemented, then mechanical engineering is the most important thing. Whoever gets it first will have the upper hand." Zhao Yan looked at the eldest prince in front of him.
I was thinking to myself, at the moment, the eldest prince is willing to listen to advice.
But once you have power, that may not be the case.
There are many monarchs who accepted advice from all sides before they became successful.
But once they gain power, they become independent and authoritarian.
The eldest prince frowned as he listened to the words: "The Feng family has a grudge against the Duke of Zhenguo. If I do this, will it arouse my father's suspicion?
Will it cause dissatisfaction to the Duke of Zhenguo?"
Chen Qun followed up on Zhao Yan's words and said something even more outrageous: "Your Highness, since the Feng family is not on good terms with the Duke of Zhenguo, we can win them over.
Your Majesty is now obsessed with alchemy and will not think about such things.
Moreover, because of the affairs of the Jianghuai family, Your Majesty will also believe that the world's aristocratic families should be managed.
Even if His Majesty is dissatisfied, so what?
Your Highness, there are some things that you need to fight for yourself, rather than leaving your fate in the eyes of others.
If you miss this time, you will have to wait until His Majesty finishes refining the elixir, or until the elixir fails.
If you want to reorganize the court, there will be no chance.
Now that General Lu has gained a great reputation in the army, and since the Feng family is at odds with the Duke of Zhenguo, they will be even more willing to cooperate with us!"
After hearing this, the eldest prince finally understood all these principles. He hurriedly drove and went to Jingzhou in person.
Want to win over the Feng family.
The same goes for the other princes, except the eldest prince, the second prince, the third prince, and the eighth prince, who all went to Jingzhou.
As for the Fourth Prince, he has no capable people under his command, so naturally he cannot understand these things.
Unable to think of any strategy, he decided to dress up as a young version of the Emperor Dagan.
Go to various inns and recruit scholars to take the exam.
However, after he recruited them, he placed them in the backyard.
Neither caring nor discussing.
The treatment was not bad, with food, drinks and even maids provided.
However, talented scholars naturally want to come here to realize their ambitions, and with such treatment, many of them will say goodbye and leave.
Those who stayed were naturally a bunch of good-for-nothings, but they could still fool the Fourth Prince.
All he needs to do is praise the Fourth Prince for surpassing the current Emperor and he will be given an important position.
Perhaps he received support from the Netherworld Cult and practiced some evil skills.
The Fourth Prince's personality is becoming more and more unpredictable and he is becoming more and more arrogant.
-----------
After the princes arrived in Jingzhou, it was very important whether they went to see the Feng family first or the Gongshu family first.
Because whoever you meet first means that you recognize this family and think that you are better than the other family.
The eldest prince and the third prince chose the Feng family, while the eighth prince chose the Gongshu family.
Because the Feng family has been famous for a long time, although some orders have been snatched away recently, that is because the Gongshu family's prices are cheap.
Based on various experiences and the heritage of a thousand-year-old family, the eldest prince and the third prince both chose to try the Feng family first.
The eighth prince felt that the Feng family probably looked down on him, so he went to find the Gongshu family.
