Dao Fruit

As soon as Qiu Yan walked into the imperial study room, he immediately felt the dignified smell in the air.

Several prime ministers sitting in front of the emperor were arranged on both sides. On the table in front of the emperor, a memorial was spread out. On the surface of the memorial, a hint of blood could be faintly seen.

Just from this scene, Qiu Yan roughly guessed the reason, but he remained calm and saluted the emperor according to etiquette.

"Come here, take a seat for Qiu Qing." As soon as Li Kun waved his hand, someone came over with a stool.

Qiu Yan took advantage of the opportunity to perform salutes to several prime ministers before sitting on them.

"Qiu Qing, this memorial of yours..."

As soon as Qiu Yan sat down here, the emperor couldn't help but speak and pointed to the memorial in front of him.

What was written in the memorial was actually suggestions on how to deal with and resettle the major tribes in the grassland after the victory of the National War. Many of them touched Li Kun's heart.

However, there is still a big problem, and that is...

The national war has not yet ended, and the Rouluo people have not been truly defeated. It would be too inappropriate to talk about how to deal with post-war matters at this time.

Upon hearing the inquiry, Qiu Yan stood up again. He was not used to this set of etiquette, but there was no need to start a fight over this trivial matter. Besides, Li Kun was really not kind to him, even if he had other plans. , but people always have selfish desires, which is understandable.

"Your Majesty, the above method of disposal was based on my deliberation and consideration, and it can maintain stability for thirty years."

"Thirty years of peace?" After hearing this, Li Kun couldn't help but be curious, and temporarily put aside what he originally wanted to say, "Only for such a short time?"

Thirty years is a long time for ordinary mortals, who can live to be seventy years old in Dali. Considered a long life, these thirty years are already half of many people’s lives.

However, looking at the entire history, thirty years is just a drop in the ocean, and for a dynasty, it is only a short period of time.

A thoughtful emperor like Li Kun often thinks about a hundred-year plan when formulating a national policy, and thirty years is enough for him. It's not too long. Even in this national war, his original goal was to achieve stability for a hundred years or even forever.

Qiu Yan had been prepared for a long time and said: "Your Majesty, things are unpredictable. How can there be anything that will never be easy?"

"That's what it is..." When Li Kun spoke, he subconsciously glanced at Wang Fu, the Prime Minister whom he valued. When the reform was implemented, he once said something similar, "But if it is a government order, it can only last for more than thirty years. I will not be able to live until then. If future generations cannot use it, wouldn't it be..."

"His Majesty!"

Hearing these words, the white-faced old man Wei Eunuch suddenly spoke up. He suppressed the ominous words in Li Kun's words and showed a little bit of sadness in his eyes that was not easy to detect.

Other governors heard that the emperor said such ominous words. It’s also inappropriate.

Zhang Lian even straightened his face and scolded Qiu Yan: "Sister Qiu, you think about these things too early and too much. What you really need to worry about is the military struggle on the grassland. As for the things mentioned in this brochure, Whether it’s feasible or not, it’s out of date.”

Just now, after Li Kun read the chain, he circulated it to several prime ministers. Everyone present looked at it and thought about it. However, they were quite dissatisfied with this chain and felt that Qiu Yan was pretending to make shocking remarks. suspicion.

"It is precisely because of the current national war that we should sort out all the follow-up matters. We must have a plan in advance. By then, it will naturally be a matter of course, get twice the result with half the effort, and save a lot of messy and trivial matters." Qiu Yan glanced at Zhang Lian, He smiled and said, "However, what Zhang Xiangguo said is right. Things should be easy first and then difficult. Only after completing the things in front of you can you slowly overcome the difficulties in the future."

"Easy first, then difficult?" Zhang Lian shook his head, feeling more and more that Qiu Yan's tone was too loud, "Young people, you have some achievements, but you can't be inflated by it. This national war requires all the efforts of the country, and it's up to you "

Nowadays in Xingjing, many people treat Qiu Yan with respect. No matter in terms of achievements, achievements, personality, or knowledge, few people feel that they are above Qiu Yan. , but among these people, they do not include several major officials.

Being in office and at the pinnacle of people, one still needs to have such a little bit of self-confidence. Even if he thinks he is not as knowledgeable as Qiu Yan, he will not feel that he is inferior. Even if Wang Jing was very polite to Qiu Yan that day, his words , it is also a matter of friendship.

Zhang Lian is nearly thirty years older than Wang Jing. In terms of qualifications, he is also a veteran of several dynasties. Naturally, he has less scruples when speaking. What's more, the interest group he leads is now being affected by Qiu Yan's threat was already dissatisfied with Qiu Yan, and now it was meant to be used as an excuse.

Qiu Yan shook his head and said: "Qiu is not saying that national war is easy, but it is easier than stabilizing the northern border and Jisu tribes. After all, you can fight by dedicating all your national power and mobilizing soldiers. Digesting the results of this war, stabilizing the hearts of people both inside and outside, and even changing customs and implementing the teachings of saints on the grassland cannot be achieved overnight. It is even more complicated and changeable, and it is impossible to use force alone as before. It requires the simultaneous efforts of kings and hegemons. , it can be called the most complicated thing in the world.”

"Oh? If you have any ideas, you might as well write a complete charter and submit it when you have free time. It would be good to think about it, but when I gather here this time, I still want to express my opinions on the situation of the national war. You If you have any ideas in this regard, you can talk about it first and leave the rest for later." The speaker this time was another prime minister, Xu Jin.

There are five prime ministers and assistants in Zhengshitang. In addition to Ma Yang, Wang Fu, and Zhang Lian, they are Xu Jin, the most junior, and Yan Dongting, who is ill.

Xu Jin originally performed well in the west and was promoted to prime minister. However, after entering the political affairs hall, he kept a low profile. It was not until the recent national war that his experience in opening the border came into use and was focused on by the emperor, which invisibly increased the number of people. With the right to speak, the power has increased.

Speaking of which, Qiu Yan also had some contact with Xu Jin's granddaughter. His granddaughter was Xu Ran, who was currently banned from home due to the Wen Zhizhen case.

Now, after hearing what Qiu Yan said, he first remembered his experience of opening the road to the west, and his words were quite kind.

But Yan Dongting was an old man who looked sick, with a sallow complexion. He was sitting on a chair, silent, but his eyes were always fixed on Qiu Yan. This prime minister had been bedridden before and was critically ill several times. In the end, he survived. There were rumors in the government and the public that he was planning to become an official, but it was difficult to raise the issue due to the national war.

However, if this rumor is true, then the vacant position in the political hall will undoubtedly cause a dispute between the DPRK and China.

In addition to these five leaders of the Political Affairs Hall, there are two other people on the list, namely Wang Jing and Geng Chi of the Privy Council.

These two privy envoys are in charge of military affairs and have connections with the three yamen themselves. When discussing the national war in northern Xinjiang, how can they be left out?

As a result, with the five consuls, two privy envoys, the emperor, and Eunuch Wei who was in charge of the secret service and intelligence agency, this room could be said to have gathered the most powerful people in the whole of Da Rui.

And their eyes are now focused on Qiu Yan.

For a moment, Qiu Yan felt as if the world was weighing heavily on him. He knew that this was caused by the involvement of cause and effect, but he was not afraid. He cheered up and said with a smile: "The national war is at hand. Qiu certainly knows that this time In the past, it was also related to this, but what I have done recently is that I am not allowed to be in the family in my private life, and I am not in harmony with the officialdom in my public life. I don't know when I will stay away from the center for some reason. This is okay. But let’s say what we want to say while we can still make good points, so that if anyone can remember it later, they can use it.”

When these words came out, the famous prime minister looked calm on the surface, but his thoughts in his heart changed rapidly. They did not expect that Qiu Yan would put the matter so straightforwardly.

In fact, everyone present was aware of the matters related to Qiu Yan. They could also imagine that after the national war crisis passed, there would be forces from aristocratic families who would take action to suppress them. However, these should be matters under the table. How could they be brought out so easily? explain? Not to mention in this imperial study room.

"After all, I am still too young and have a sharp edge. After all, it is not a good thing. I can't distinguish the occasion and the importance. I still need to polish it..."

For a time, many prime ministers had such an idea in their minds.

On the other side, when Qiu Yan spoke, he always had a slight smile on his face. His eyes swept over the faces of many prime ministers. Looking at their somewhat discolored eyes, he felt something different in his heart.

"As expected of Zaizhi, no matter what thoughts he has in his heart, he won't show it on his face. It's almost impossible to tell."

Just when Qiu Yan changed his mind, Zhang Lian snorted again and said: "You young man, what do you think of the imperial study room? What is public and private? What you have done and what your evaluation is, of course we have to see Whether it is beneficial to the country or not, there is no point in saying anything else. However, since you said that your coming here is related to the national war, let’s make this clear first.”

Behind the table, Li Kun felt something in his heart after hearing Qiu Yan's words.

The movements of the aristocratic families in the capital will not be reported to the palace by the court officials, but the royal family has another news channel, so they are aware of it. When he heard Qiu Yan's words, Li Kun inevitably had some thoughts, but the top priority right now is the national war. , everything else should be put aside first.

After thinking about it, he said: "In the past few days, according to Qiu Qing's plan, I got a lot of information from several enemy chiefs, and they all corroborated it, which improved the battle situation. Several princes also appreciated it, but they didn't. I am also worried that if this happens too often, the Rouluo people will realize that the news has been leaked, take precautions, and even take advantage of it. "

"This statement is true, repeated over and over again, how can we not notice it?" Qiu Yan nodded, but said, "Therefore, we should get the most information before the few prisoners are useless, and strive to fight Rouluo decisively. Seize the victory in one fell swoop!" (To be continued...)
