Chapter 649

The light smell of sandalwood diffuses in the study.

Niu Zhen thought for a moment and looked worried: "what the emperor said is very true. If the king of Huainan makes a move, it will save us a lot of strength, and at the same time, it can weaken the strength of the king of Huainan. If Yan, Liang and Zhao are all destroyed, there will only be the king of Huainan and Yong to the north of the Yangtze River. Is the emperor prepared to let the vassal state continue? After all, the chaos in Dayu is enough to see the damage of the vassal to Dayu. "

"I can see what general Niu can see, but king Yong and King Huainan are attached to me, but I can't easily use military force against them. Now I can only appease them and cut off the vassal after the stability of the state of Dayu. In this way, the people can be saved from the war, and the problem of vassal can be solved without blood. Moreover, the barbarians are still suffering, and the king has no choice It is to put down the rebellion as soon as possible. " Xiao Ming pondered.

It's not that he doesn't want to solve the vassal kings once and for all, but he always has to pay attention to one strategy. Since he can fight one by one, why challenge all vassal kings by himself.

What's more, an important problem is that if the war continues, the state of Dayu will be completely destroyed. The young and strong of Dayu will be killed and injured in the battle of Yunzhou city.

Among them, the number of deaths in the battle of Yunzhou was not mentioned, but most of the people who transported food and grass to the three kings' allied forces also died. This is not to mention that after the rout, the chaotic army looted and killed people everywhere.

It's easy to say that the three kings united army was defeated, but in fact it caused serious war and chaos to the state of Dayu.

We only need to look at the Contemporary Middle East issue to understand what is happening to the people in the north.

In the war of World War II, soldiers had the pleasure of killing civilians indiscriminately. In this far uncivilized Dynasty, killing people during the war was a common practice.

According to the secret guards, the alliance of the three kings was very insidious. Most of the civil servants they recruited came from the occupied Royal States and counties. At the same time, the food, grass and supplies for the campaign were forced on the people in these States and counties.

During their occupation of the city, the people in these States and counties had been slaughtered by them, but now they are suffering even more.

If the barbarians fight at this time, he really doubts that the people in these places will eventually help the barbarians, because these vassal kings don't treat them any better than the barbarians.

Based on these, after thinking, he decided to win over the dependent vassal kings and stabilize the country as soon as possible. After all, the real enemy of Dayu had been watching him, and it was in his interest that the North was completely destroyed.

Although these dependent vassals are hidden dangers, at least they can keep one side stable.

Besides, after the Yan, Zhao and Liang kings were removed, the Yong and Huainan kings could not pose a threat to the central government at all, so they could digest it slowly.

"The emperor is far sighted. It seems that the general is worried too much." Niu Zhen let out a sigh of relief.

Xiao Ming takes a look at Niu Zhen. Pang Yukun, Zhan Xingchang and other officials have mentioned this issue these two days, which is different from the attitude of old ministers of Chang'an such as Fiji.

After he ascended the throne, the officials of Chang'an and Pang Yukun could not urinate in a pot.

One is that Chang'an officials still attach great importance to their family status and despise the officials of civilian origin such as Pang Yukun. The other is that these officials tend to be conservative in thinking, and they are not as open-minded as the feudal officials.

Pang Yukun and others are the vested interests of Xiao Ming in the destruction of the powerful families. Psychologically, they are alert to the powerful families with an instinct. They are worried that the powerful families will gain power and they will be liquidated.

After all, there are countless connections between the haos in Qingzhou and other haos in Dayu. They have great opinions on Pang Yukun and others.

Secondly, Pang Yukun is trying to restore the legalist trend of thought, and these officials from Chang'an are still carrying a strong Confucian thought, both of which are sharp to the point.

From Xiao Ming's point of view, he was naturally inclined to Pang Yukun, but with the expansion of the land under the jurisdiction of the feudal state, he had to rely on the old officials to administer the counties for him.

He also has a headache in the face of this contradiction, but there is no solution at present. After all, it is only five years since he came to Qingzhou.

In the past five years, he has made such achievements, which is unprecedented in the state of Dayu. Even so, the number of officials he can cultivate is limited. Even so, there are some officials cultivated by the school of Bowen who are different in appearance and respect Confucianism in heart. They are just like conservative officials in Fiji.

However, this question was raised by Niu Zhen. He was very unhappy because he knew that the army could not have ideas, otherwise it would be easy to make trouble.

No matter how much the officials make trouble, they are just moving on their lips. If a modern army moves rashly, it will cause trouble.

So he said harshly, "general Niu, you are too lenient in this matter. Soldiers only need to obey orders, and they don't need to care about the government."

Niu Zhen felt a tremor in his heart when he heard the speech. He suddenly woke up and said, "emperor, you will be guilty!"

"Don't do it again! I know what you're worried about, but you think too much about it. Don't forget that it was my idea to kill the powerful people. Some people can't turn the world upside down. " There seems to be something in Xiao Ming's words."If you have the emperor, you will be at ease."

Niu Zhen bows and says that Xiao Ming is now the emperor, and he gradually feels that Xiao Ming is becoming an emperor.

"That's right. I'll discuss merit and reward later." Xiao Ming said with a smile that he expected these generals to continue to fight for himself. It is necessary to appease them properly.

Bowing and bowing, Niu Zhen turns and leaves from his study. At this time, Xiao Ming puts down his brush and stands up.

Looking at Niu Zhen's figure as he crosses the stone bridge, Xiao Ming sighs gently. When he becomes emperor, he realizes that it's easy to be a dim king, but it's hard to be a bright King.

Because it's hard to balance a group of people under hand. At the same time, we have to worry about the army. After all, in this era, it's common for generals not to be dispatched and to support soldiers with self-respect.

Even in modern times, military coups often take place in some countries. The fundamental reason is that the army has become the private soldiers of some generals.

But this kind of situation is a very common thing in the feudal dynasty, because of this, the emperor will have many restrictions on the generals.

Now Xiao Ming has the same problem. He can't let the general easily rebel with the army when he wants to kill him.

After thinking about it for a while, he felt that the solution to this problem was to nationalize the military. If so, he would pay close attention to the long history of the military.
