Yan Shiyue continued calmly: "Of course, we need to choose the things we give them carefully. For example, the most important thing is that we have flamethrower cabinets, so we only need to give them flamethrower gourds that are ten times weaker. In addition, the stone paint must be strictly controlled by us. In other words, we must strangle their lifeline and keep them vulnerable to us, but can easily deal with other tribes."
"Other things, we can give them more, such as food and daily necessities. Of course, it's not free, it's trade. Our people will take things there, we will become wealthy there, our talented people will become high-ranking officials there, in a barren and cold place like Mobei, our men are very popular, we can let them marry more wives and have more children, and after ten or twenty years, Mobei will be full of Han people, and they will be controlled by us everywhere. 'It's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it's hard to go from luxury to frugality', by then, will they still have the courage? Will they still fight?"
Isn't it just patriarchy? Satisfy you! Do you dare to clamor for marriage and be a stud for the country and the people?
She said what she wanted to say and stepped away with a smile.
The ministers immediately rolled up their sleeves and started to criticize.
This is due to the limitations of the times. The ideas of the ancient scholars have always been extremely conservative and moderate. They think that this method is too risky and that if they are not careful, they will raise a tiger and cause trouble. They believe that people who are not of our race must have different hearts and do not agree to give them any weapons. They think that seclusion is the safest way and they dare not go out easily, let alone step into other people's territory.
Emperor Ming Yan seemed to be thinking about something.
Yan Shiyue always considers things from a big picture perspective. His ideas are extremely bold, and they make a lot of sense when you think about them carefully.
Princess Wencheng of the previous dynasty married into the Tang Dynasty in this way, which made Tubo dominate the Western Regions and become the gateway of the previous dynasty, helping each other with the Tang Dynasty. Her idea is similar to this.
Emperor Mingyan said: "I think Fuyan's idea makes sense."
...
...
The ministers immediately started to criticize the emperor again.
Yan Shiyue never expected that being an emperor would also involve being criticized... and the criticism was quite severe.
Damn it, can you criticize my father? ?
Yan Shiyue couldn't bear to watch it any longer, and couldn't help but start to stir up trouble again: "Everyone, I told you that your ideas are not changed, and you still don't admit it. Let me put it this way, for example, Prime Minister Xu, if you saw the housekeeper at home, would you be afraid? Would you worry that he would hurt you? No, right? To put it bluntly, there is nothing to be afraid of if the status is not equal."
"But now! He is crying and shouting that he wants to be your younger brother, but you still don't dare to acknowledge him. You are still trying to please him and win him over. It's obvious that you are guilty! I don't understand, what is there to be afraid of a pile of loose sand? Where is the blood of men? Where is the backbone of scholars? No wonder Lady Huarui sighed that '140,000 people took off their armor, and not one of them was a man'!"
A group of old men nearly choked her to death.
Emperor Ming Yan was in a very complicated mood.
My dear, you can curse me if you want, but you have to be careful! Do you have to offend half of the officials on your first day in court?
Emperor Ming Yan then rebuked him, "What nonsense! Why don't you apologize to the gentlemen?"
Yan Shiyue received the thoughts from her father and understood them. So she said angrily, "If they don't scold my father, I certainly won't scold them either! If they want to scold, they can scold me. Why scold my father!"
Emperor Ming Yan then sighed and said, "Why don't you apologize?"
Yan Shiyue turned around with a wronged look on his face and bowed one by one: "Please don't be offended, my lords. This is my first time attending court. I didn't expect... it would be like this. My lords, I am young and inexperienced. If there is anything wrong, you can refute it, but it has nothing to do with my father."
Emperor Mingyan also said: "This child has a straightforward personality and cannot stand others saying anything bad about me. You don't have to bother with her."
Ministers: "..."
That's enough...really.
Is it interesting for the father and daughter to sing a double act? ? Like before, isn't it good for everyone to criticize together with confidence? Why should they be labeled as "scolding the emperor"? Is it a curse when a loyal minister advises the emperor? Of course not!
Then Xu Mingxiu said, "In fact, I also think that what the young prince said makes sense. Although this move may seem risky, it will benefit the present and future generations. We can discuss it in detail."
Xu Mingxiu looks like a Buddhist and never forms cliques. Unlike the Lin Party, which is well-known to everyone, Xu Mingxiu looks like a loner, but his words carry a lot of weight.
Everyone began to think deeply about it.
The cabinet elder Gao Shiming said, "I also think we can give it a try. Since the young prince broke the century-old stalemate without bloodshed with just goat milk and goat fat... Now that Mobei is willing to submit, why can't we plan carefully, take a firm hold of the situation step by step, and lead them by the nose?"
Someone said: "If it is really as the young prince said, then it is great. We must be extra careful in control at that time."
At this point, the radical critics fell silent, as if they had just entered a formal discussion. Only then did Yan Shiyue realize that these people were obviously full of tricks and were more thoughtful than she thought. Why didn't they say it before? Huh?
Yan Shiyue just listened quietly. These people said "We are a country of courtesy and justice, and we are virtuous" while they spoke seriously about their ideas of killing people...
These scholars are really hard to describe...
These people discussed intensely for nearly two hours, and finally came to an end.
Then someone asked politely: "Your Highness, do you have any advice?"
“No,” Yan Shiyue stood up and said solemnly, “I am a junior student. What I said before was just a drop in the ocean. Now after listening to my speech, I know that all of you have great plans, such as what Prime Minister Xu said about building a temple, and what Lord Gao said about the athletic stadium…”
She listed several people's speeches in one breath: "Every one of them is very well thought out. I admire you very much. I will ask for your advice in the future. I just hope you can forgive my previous youthful and frivolous remarks."
Emperor Ming Yan thought to himself, isn't this a man who is quite good at talking?
The expressions of several court officials immediately softened, and they all said a few humble words. Then they dispersed in a good atmosphere, and Emperor Ming Yan only kept Yan Shiyue to have dinner.
As soon as the person left, Yan Shiyue fell down and burst into tears: "Aye, my back hurts so much..."
Emperor Mingyan hurriedly got up from his seat and supported her: "Tell me, you are in pain, can't you tell me? I'll ask someone to bring you a pillow..."
"No," she said in a crying voice, "I'm so handsome, how can I do such an embarrassing thing... It hurts, yeah! It hurts so much, oooo..." She hung on his arm and began to cry.
The adults who haven't left yet: "..."
Emperor Ming Yan quickly called for the female doctor, and personally dragged her to the couch. Yan Shiyue lay on it, and said with red eyes: "Fortunately, I don't have to attend the morning court every day, otherwise I would definitely die young!"
Emperor Mingyan slapped her in the face and said, "Stop talking nonsense!"
She screamed, "Aye!"
Emperor Mingyan suppressed his laughter and said, "Remember it if you feel the pain! Don't just say anything!"
