Chapter 439

"Wang Kang, you know the crime!"

At this moment, his temperament is changing, his face is slightly heavy, and he exudes dignity. This is the momentum accumulated by those who have been in charge for a long time

For a moment, the atmosphere was suddenly frozen,

if ordinary people were afraid that they would kneel down in awe of this majesty,

but Wang Kang didn't respond to it. He came from modern times and didn't have a deep awe of the imperial power,

is this to give himself a blow?

Wang Kang asked in amazement: "I know the crime, and I don't know what it is that I'm guilty of?"

"The imperial edict I gave you was to come to Beijing five days in time. Now you have delayed for five days. What do you want to do

Jiang Chengli stares at Wang Kang calmly, but it gives people a sense of authority

Wang Kang stood up and said, "I just got married. How can I get a wedding leave?"

"Marriage leave?"

After hearing this strange remark, Emperor Zhao was shocked and couldn't smile for a moment.

he had heard yuwennai say for a long time that Wang Kang's reaction when the imperial edict was issued was not unexpected at the moment.

he also knew something about Wang Kang's character, which was strange and different from the secular world,

he just wanted to test his reaction Now it seems that

Just then, the emperor relaxed and said, "go with me!"

Then he took the lead,

"yes"

Wang Kang answered and moved to follow him. How could he not see that Zhao huangben had no intention to pursue the case,

he had taken the trouble to transfer himself to Kyoto, and how could he be punished for it?

When they walked out of the chuigong hall, the father-in-law was shocked to see that his majesty went out to walk with him?

This?

He saw that Wang Kang's official dress was just a five grade official. In this hanging arch hall, every day he was a second grade official,

so he was impatient, but he didn't want to be so kind

The emperor Zhao walked with his hands behind his back without saying a word, and Wang Kang followed him in silence.

they were idle, stepping on the stone path, with flowers on both sides. The palace maids and eunuchs who passed by bowed their heads to see the ceremony,

at this time, the emperor Zhao seemed to ask casually, "how do you feel about the imperial palace?"

"Does your majesty want to hear the truth?"

"Of course," Wang Kang said directly, "it's like a cage!"

"Why do you say that?"

He didn't seem to respond.

"In fact, it's very simple. Looking at your majesty is enough to show that"

hearing the speech, the emperor turned back and looked at Wang Kang in surprise, "your idea is really novel."

then he turned around and sighed: "I asked many people this question, and the answers were different, but only your appearance was the most accurate."

then he changed the subject of his speech, "the strategy you once made I have seen it, and intend to implement it, so that the whole people can prepare for war, so as to stimulate the people's will, change their appearance, and prepare for the coming war.... "

"But there is also a problem. Since building the army, it will inevitably require a large amount of military expenditure. Now the National Treasury is in deficit. How can it be supported?"

"It's very simple,"

Wang Kang said with a smile: "the wool comes from the sheep."

"Zhao is not a poor country, but most of the financial resources and resources are in the hands of the old aristocrats!"

"The quickest way to fill the National Treasury is to start with it!"

"If a family falls, the Treasury will be filled with one cent!"

After talking about it, we talked about the fundamental problem,

"how can we eradicate the old aristocracy completely?" The emperor asked again.

"joint and horizontal,"

"this way, I have been used," Zhao Huang said,

implementation of the new deal, to support the new aristocracy against the old aristocracy, in fact, is a kind of vertical and horizontal.

"It depends on your Majesty's courage," Wang Kang said again.

"What do you mean?"

"War

Wang Kang said in a deep voice: "civil war, or foreign war!"

"By means of tough means and direct coercion, eventually those old aristocrats will resist, and they will face a civil war!"

"If you win, it will be solved once and for all. If you lose..."

"It's unrealistic," Zhao Huang shook his head and said, "I can't gamble with my Zhao family, and the state of Zhao can't afford a civil war!"

"Then there will be only foreign invasion," Wang said in a deep voice: "invade other countries, plunder resources, plunder land, and stimulate domestic demand!"

"Of course, it's also a big gamble. If there's no way, it can only be such a stratagem, but it can draw others to gamble together!"

"You mean The emperor of Zhao probably understood what Wang Kang meant.

"People don't get up early for nothing."

Wang Kang said with a smile: "this is especially true for those old aristocrats. Your majesty can pull these people into the chariot, but let them see some benefits.""You can paint cakes. For example, if you occupy the land, it will be granted to you, and part of the money and things you plunder will be divided..."

"And This war is inevitable. Aren't you ready, your majesty? "

After hearing this, Zhao Huang, who had been calm all the time, finally had some changes. His eyes were startled, and then he faintly said, "what do you mean by that?"

Is it to test me?

Wang Kang sneered in his heart and then said, "the envoys of the state of Yue came to ask for reparations and the princess's dowry You must be reluctant to do anything

"How can I give my country's wealth to other countries, but I can't do without it. Yue is now strong. If not, I'm afraid of war..."

"Your Majesty has the courage to fight, but the man Dynasty is civil and military, and there are few main fighters. You can't get a response!"

"This is one of them."

Wang Kang looked at Zhao Huang and then said: "second, there is an indemnity treaty between us and the state of Yue. Although it is a piece of waste paper, we can't violate it at will."

"it will damage the image of the state, and also make others say that you have no reputation for being a teacher!"

"So what you need most now is an excuse!"

"That's why your majesty transferred me to Kyoto, and why he asked me to be the host guest doctor!"

"Because you know my character It's not going to be the kind of person who's willing to compromise! "

"You want me to make the first cut, let me lead the way, let me put forward the main battle."

"in this case, I will bear the final result, which has nothing to do with you Am I right? "

After hearing this, the emperor looked at Wang Kang deeply. He met Wang Kang for the first time. After a while, he said,

"I really can't imagine that you would be a notorious black sheep before..."

"You are right. This is really my real intention."

Jiang Cheng looked away from his eyes and said in a deep voice: "three years ago, under all kinds of helplessness, I signed the Treaty of compensation and land cutting and paid tribute for five years. Three years have passed!"

"Not only the reparations, but also the marriage of the two princesses!"

"How can we bear all these things? However, none of the officials in the court dare to propose a war. It's ridiculous..."

As he said, he turned and looked at Wang Kang with deep eyes. "Now that you know it, if you promote it, you will become the target of public criticism, even bear the blame Are you still here? "

"Do I have another choice?" Wang Kang asked

For a long time, the emperor said, "the outside world has criticized you, but I know your talent. Now I have one last question to ask you!"

Jiang Chengli stares at Wang Kang and says, "do you have ambition..."
