Nalan Jinnian raised his hand: "Okay, my decree has been made. There is no need for you to say more. Retreat from the court!"
After Nalan Jinnian said this, he left.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty: "..."
Everyone knows that Nalan Jinnian's decision will never change.
When he was still King Jin, his ideas were very accurate every time. Therefore, he led the Nalan Kingdom from its gradual decline to the point where it is so powerful today that even the four countries cannot bully it even one centimeter!
I just didn't expect that the emperor would do such a stupid thing not long after he ascended the throne.
How can one help the enemy? Isn’t this a way of boosting others’ ambition and destroying one’s own prestige
As the ministers walked out, they talked sadly.
"The Emperor is confused this time! How can he provide disaster relief to Beiming and Dongling Kingdoms at this time? We should take the opportunity to send troops!"
"No! The Beiming Kingdom has always wanted to destroy our Nalan Kingdom! Even now, the Beiming Kingdom is stronger than our Nalan Kingdom, so there is no need for our Nalan Kingdom to help it with disaster relief! The emperor is confused! I am confused. I don’t know what the emperor is thinking this time!”
"Everything in the world is ebb and flow. We, Nalan Kingdom, mobilize supplies to the enemy country to provide disaster relief, and the strength of our Nalan Kingdom is weakened. In this way, the enemy country's strength is enhanced! In the future, when the two countries have slowed down, we can send troops Wouldn't it be more difficult for us to attack our Nalan Kingdom? It's impossible for the emperor to not understand such a simple truth! Why would he do such a stupid thing?"
"Alas! I missed this God-given opportunity. I don't know how long this battle will last! Isn't this a drag on the people of Nalan? No, I have to go back and write a memorial. I will continue to submit the letter. I will definitely persuade the emperor to take it back. Succeed! This Beiming country is a poisonous snake, we can’t help!"
... ... .
The Minister of Hubu didn't care what everyone said, he pulled Wen Jiarui together and hurried out of the Golden Palace.
Seeing that the two were walking fast, the Minister of War and the Wucheng Bingma Si ran up in a hurry and came to their side.
"My lord, Mr. Fang, please stay! Why are you running so fast?" The Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division chased after him and grabbed the sleeve of the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue.
Shangshu Hubu and Wen Jiarui stopped.
"What's the matter, Mr. Liu?"
The Secretary of the Ministry of War was old. He ran over a few steps behind the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, and said breathlessly: "What's the matter? Why did you agree to provide disaster relief to Beiming and Dongling this time? Is the granary of our court full? Is it too late to pretend?”
No wonder the ministers were so dissatisfied, everyone had donated a lot of food to the soldiers on the border before.
Nalan Kingdom's ability to achieve such a great victory is really the result of the hard work of every household!
It’s the result of everyone’s concerted efforts!
The Minister of Hubu stroked his beard: "Because I believe in the emperor! The emperor is a wise and benevolent king! A benevolent person is invincible!"
The Minister of War was anxious: "But this is not the time to talk about kindness. To be kind to the enemy is to be cruel to yourself!"
Wen Jiarui shook his head: "Master Cao, you are wrong! The emperor is not kind to the enemy. The emperor provides disaster relief to help the people! The emperor is a benevolent king, so his first thought is to rescue the people, rather than taking advantage of people's danger and taking the opportunity to attack the city! Taking the opportunity to attack the city at this time can certainly get twice the result with half the effort! The disaster-stricken city will be captured absolutely effortlessly! But what happens after that?"
The Minister of War fell silent, and then
The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division: "Of course we will pursue the victory after that! Go straight to Huanglong! Take Beiming Kingdom and Dongling Kingdom directly! In this way, the war can probably end one to two years in advance! How good this is What an opportunity!”
The Minister of Rites came over at this time and nodded: "Master Liu is right, this is really an opportunity that God has given us in the Nalan Kingdom! This time we just need to seize the opportunity and capture Dazhou City and Xiangjiang City, and then By pursuing victory, our Nalan Kingdom will definitely be able to unify Beiming Kingdom and Dongling Kingdom in advance! How much troops and financial resources can this save?"
Minister of the Ministry of War: "Master Fang, why did you agree to prepare food so readily this time! Usually when I ask you to come up with a grain of food, you yell for a long time!"
The Minister of Household Affairs puffed his beard and stared: "How often have I not handed over the grain and money that should be paid on time?! This time to provide disaster relief to Beiming and Dongling Kingdoms is indeed the emperor's foresighted plan. It is you who are short-sighted and did not see it. Reveal the emperor’s deep intention!”
The three of them were dumbfounded.
The Minister of Rites: "Why are we so short-sighted? What's the benefit of providing disaster relief to Beiming and Dongling countries other than leaving a good reputation?"
The Minister of War looked at Wen Jiarui: "Gong An, tell me, just now we said we should take the opportunity to capture the city, what do you think next? Do you think it would be good to seize the opportunity to capture the city, pursue the victory, and end the war as soon as possible?"
The Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division also looked at Wen Jiarui: "Mr. An Guo, please forgive my short-sightedness, but what happens next?"
Wen Jiarui: "After? After taking the opportunity to capture the city, it will definitely arouse the anger of the people of Beiming Kingdom and Dongling Kingdom! In this way, public anger will only lead to more fierce counterattacks. In this way, the remaining If we want to capture the city again, it will definitely be more difficult than now! In this way, we will need to spend more troops and material resources! What's more, we may be even later to end this war! Three adults Think about it, is this not worth the gain?"
The three of them looked thoughtful when they heard this.
Other officials who were leaving stopped when they heard the conversation between several people. Everyone listened to Wen Jiarui's analysis and fell silent with thoughtful expressions on their faces.
Wen Jiarui continued: "Since ancient times, those who win the hearts and minds of the people win the world. Water can carry or overturn a boat! The emperor is a benevolent king who cares about the people. He thinks about the people first. Only such an emperor can win the hearts and minds of the people! With the hearts and minds of the people, With all the people united, our Nalan Kingdom won first without fighting! If we take the opportunity to add insult to injury now, even if we really capture all the cities in the future, what will happen next? How many troops will be spent to suppress the captured cities in the future? Complete stability? How many years will it take for the country to be truly peaceful and the people to be at peace, without any turmoil?"
"Our Nalan Kingdom was besieged by four countries, so we sent troops to unify the world. In this matter, we are on the side of justice. But this time, if we take advantage of the natural disasters suffered by Beiming Kingdom and Dongling Kingdom to add insult to injury and take advantage of others' danger, we will I’ve fallen behind!”
Wen Jiarui's words shocked the ministers around him!
They are short-sighted!
The Secretary of the Ministry of War immediately bowed his hands to Wen Jiarui and said in salute: "Thank you so much, Duke An, for your advice! The emperor indeed has a far-sighted vision! The emperor's mind and foresight are far beyond what the old minister can see!"
In less than twenty years, the Nalan Kingdom will definitely take off and prosper! However, when he is old, he doesn’t know how glorious he will be able to see Nalan Kingdom reach!
I really want to be decades younger!
