In fact, the emperor already had this idea.
As early as when Lu Ren led his troops to conquer Xili and incorporated the territory of Xili into the territory of Dasheng, he had the idea of unifying all the vassal states.
An emperor who does not want to unify the world is not a good emperor.
All under heaven belongs to the king; the appeal of this sentence continues to grow.
However, as a great country in the Celestial Empire, Da Sheng had to behave like a great power and should not bully or invade its vassal small countries at will.
What's more, sending troops is not a casual act, and fighting a war requires a just cause.
Moreover, war would only cost the people a lot of money and time, so the emperor shelved this idea and never brought it up again.
And now, it can be said that the time, place and people are all right.
Everything seems to be helped by God, and this God...
The emperor took the teacup from Wen Yu, took a sip, and said with a smile: "My sister has personally poured tea for me, how can I say no?"
Wen Yu leaned on the table, holding her chin, and faced him: "This way, you don't have to learn all kinds of messy languages in the future. You only need to learn our Dasheng Mandarin. There is no such thing as Xili language, Dinu language, or Jijiguagua language. This will benefit future generations. My name must be recorded in the history books!"
The emperor said: "Even if they are unified, they still speak their own language..."
Wen Yu said: "Royal brother, I have heard a very good teacher say that we should unify the gauge of the vehicles, the writing system, the ethics of the people, and the weights and measures."
The emperor was stunned when he heard this, then his eyes moved greatly and he lowered his eyes as if he was in deep thought.
After a moment, he raised his head, his expression calmed down, and teased Wen Yu, "Are you the teacher that the emperor sister is talking about?"
Wen Yu blinked and said sincerely, "Do you think this is something I can come up with? This teacher is a friend of mine, but unfortunately, we are already friends. Otherwise, I would definitely introduce him to you."
After all, it wasn't really her idea.
The emperor smiled and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. If this is the case, my sister won't be able to see Lu Ren for a long time."
"Is he the only general in Dasheng?"
“…That’s not the case.”
"Now that they are on one side and surrendering in a flash, and there are still Ji Ji Bang, even if there is no Lu Ren, it should be easy to take down those small countries, right?"
The emperor touched his nose and said, "My sister is right."
Wen Yu snorted, "You tried your best to get rid of Lu Ren once you caught him. My royal brother, you are really evil-minded. You can grind ink with such evil-mindedness."
emperor:……
In the end, the emperor sent the cursing Wen Yu out of the palace, and rewarded her with many treasures before she shut up contentedly.
On the other side, Lin Yuzhi did not give up trying to recall what happened last night.
After leaving the Damei Palace, he returned to the hall where the welcoming banquet was held yesterday, found the same seat, sat quietly, closed his eyes and thought.
Fortunately, with the emperor's grace, today is a day off and all officials do not have to attend court. Otherwise, he would not have time to sit here and think about these things.
But no matter how he tried to mobilize his memory, he always felt it was blank and he couldn't remember anything.
And everyone's reactions seemed to tell him that something very important happened last night, but he had forgotten it.
At this time, a palace maid who was sweeping the floor passed by the palace gate and was suddenly shocked when he saw Lin Yuzhi. Why was the Prime Minister sitting here so early in the morning?
"Your servant greets the Prime Minister."
The palace maid bowed her head and left after paying her respects.
But she didn't expect Lin Yuzhi to call her out: "Do you recognize your true identity?"
The palace maid nodded and said, "Your Excellency the Prime Minister, I recognize you."
This palace has always been the place for various ceremonies, so as palace servants of this palace, they naturally recognize it.
What's more, the Prime Minister is the head of all officials, and it is hard not to recognize him with such an appearance.
Even if you don't know him, just by looking at his temperament, unless you are stupid, you can vaguely guess his identity.
"Are you the palace servant in charge of sweeping this palace?"
"Yes."
Lin Yuzhi tapped the table with his fingertips, choosing his words carefully: "In that case, after yesterday's banquet, will you also be responsible for cleaning up this hall?"
The palace maid was stunned. Is the Prime Minister concerned about such things?
Although she had doubts in her heart, she still answered, "Yes, I was responsible for cleaning the palace last night."
When the palace maid saw the bananas on the table, she suddenly thought of something: "Prime Minister, besides the bananas, did you lose something else in the palace? I can help you find it."
Lin Yuzhi: ...
He paused while tapping his fingertips on the table. "I discovered that there was one less banana from the princess's gift."
The palace maid was horrified when she heard this and fell to her knees with a plop. "Prime Minister, please understand. When you and the princess came to look for bananas last night, the bananas were indeed intact, not a single one was missing."
After saying this, Lin Yuzhi's eyes flickered slightly: "In this case, tell me in detail what happened last night. If the bananas were not missing here, I would not blame you."
Upon hearing this, the palace maid immediately lowered her head and said, "I will tell you in detail now."
"You left after the welcoming banquet yesterday. The servants began to clean up the palace. When another palace servant was cleaning up your desk, you came back holding the eldest princess."
Lin Yuzhi: ...
"No one had touched the banana at that time. It was absolutely intact. Even Aunt Liuchun, who was beside the eldest princess, wanted to take it for you, but you shouted her away. You said that the banana was yours and no one else was allowed to touch it."
Lin Yuzhi: ...
"You personally carried the bananas out of the palace. Not a single banana was missing when you took them away. It was definitely not done by the palace maids. There are many witnesses to this. If you don't believe me, you can ask them to come and testify together."
To increase credibility, the palace maid added: "At that time, you wanted to take the banana yourself, and the princess said that you didn't need to hold it. In the end, you held the princess in one hand and the banana in the other and left the palace. Everything I said is true, and the prime minister will understand."
Lin Yuzhi: ...
After the palace maid finished speaking in detail, she lowered her head.
But Lin Yuzhi remained silent. The palace fell into a chilling silence that made the palace maids tremble with silence.
