Chapter 909 Peace Is the Most Important Thing

Yang Jian glanced at Wang Meng indifferently, and said: "[Yanhuang League] has always been defeated by Daxia, and now he is even more dependent on others, and his words of help are really arrogant."

Wang Meng was stunned, he didn't expect that Emperor Wen of Sui would be so reticent.

An emperor naturally has the arrogance of an emperor.

Before confronting Daxia head-on, Yang Jian would easily pretend to be someone else. The one million forbidden army is Yang Jian's biggest hole card, even if the Sui Dynasty does not take advantage of the land, it can still stand still.

Wang Meng had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, please believe in our sincerity. [Yanhuang League] is willing to cooperate with Da Sui at any time. We have a common enemy."

Yang Jian waved his hand, "You step back first!"

But neither refused nor agreed. As an emperor, Yang Jian, apart from his arrogance, also has a smooth side of an emperor, knowing that there must be a way out in everything.

Maybe one day, Da Sui will be in trouble [Yanhuang League].

Wang Meng sighed in his heart, took his leave and left, this mission was considered a failure. The first errand run by the host bus was messed up, which made Wang Meng quite frustrated.

…………

After Wang Meng left, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty immediately recruited Gao Ying, the minister.

Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty, the generation of emperors who created the "Government of Kaihuang", made quite a breakthrough in the dynastic system. His greatest contribution was to abolish the nine-rank Zhongzheng system and change it to the five provinces and six ministries system, which was the blueprint for the Tang Dynasty's three provinces and six ministries system.

The five provinces are the Ministry of Internal History, the Ministry of Menxia, ​​the Ministry of Shangshu, the Ministry of Secretaries, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

There are six departments under Shangshu Province: Li, Hu, Li, Bing, Punishment, and Gong. There is one Shangshuling, who is in charge of the code and a hundred officials;

Shangshu orders are generally false, and Shangshu Zuo Pushe is the actual chief official of Shangshu Province, equivalent to the prime minister.

Historically, during the period of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Gao Ying served as the left servant of the Shangshu, and Su Wei and Yang Su successively served as the right servant of the Shangshu. This time he entered Quanzhou and saw all the old officials again. Yang Jian was deeply moved and changed his mind.

Gao Ying, the first important minister, was appointed as Shang Shu Ling, Su Wei was promoted to Shang Shu Zuo Pushe, and Yang Su continued to serve as Shang Shu You Pushe. The three formed an iron triangle and became the core three important ministers of the Sui Dynasty.

With a slight tilt, Gao Ying came to the side hall.

Gao Ying can be described as a famous figure of a generation, with outstanding talent, courage and insight, capable of writing and martial arts.

When Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was still the prime minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Gao Ying secretly took refuge in Emperor Wen. During this period, Gao Ying removed Yu Chijiong for Emperor Wen and cleared the obstacles for Emperor Wen to seek to usurp the throne.

When Emperor Wen ascended the throne and established the Sui Dynasty, Gao Ying served as Shangshu Zuopushe and became prime minister. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Gao Ying and Su Wei worked together, and Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty discussed with them first and then implemented all political affairs.

During this period, Gao Ying presided over the revision of the law, served the Turks in the north, and the Chen Dynasty in the Nanping, with outstanding achievements.

Gao Ying is also good at recommending talents. Su Wei, Yang Su, He Ruobi, Han Qinhu and other famous officials and military generals are all recommended by Gao Ying, which can be described as high-spirited.

However, in the last years of the founding emperor, Gao Ying, like other "highly accomplished" powerful officials in history, could not escape the emperor's suspicion and fall out of favor, and was eventually deposed as a citizen.

In the period of Emperor Sui Yang, he was killed directly for defaming the government.

"His Majesty!"

Gao Ying, who appeared in the wilderness, was already an old man who was nearly fifty years old. Although her eyes were getting cloudy, she seemed to see through all the prosperity of the world, and she was extremely wise.

I just don't know if there is any lump in Gao Ying's heart at this moment.

Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty nodded, told about Wang Meng, and asked, "What does Ai Qing think about this matter?"

Gao Ying's face was calm, for an old official like Gao Ying who has experienced big storms, there are very few things that can make him excited or nervous, so he said calmly: "In the opinion of a humble minister, we should wait and see what happens."

"Why?"

Gao Ying said: "Da Sui has just established a foundation in the wilderness, and it needs a process of integration and adaptation. Right now, the situation in the wilderness is unclear, Daxia's attitude is unclear, and the rules of war are unclear. It is really inappropriate to go to war."

Gao Ying said three times in a row, which made Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty frown.

The so-called rules of war here refer to Gaia's constraints on the dynasty. The sphere of influence of the four dynasties that appeared in the wilderness was limited to one county. It wasn't that these emperors didn't want to expand their territory, but that Gaia didn't allow it.

Right now, the four great dynasties are just potential dragons coiled in the abyss, unable to rise into the sky.

Gaia has to use NPC forces to refine the wilderness lords, but also can't squeeze the wilderness lords too hard, let them be killed by NPC forces.

Among the scales, Gaia is very delicate.

Only when the right time did these dynasties formally participate in the wilderness competition.

Gaia is playing a big game of chess.

Gao Ying continued: "Although [Yanhuang League] has a common enemy with us, they have evil intentions. The purpose is just to make Da Sui and Da Xia fight against each other, so that they can reap the benefits of fisherman."

How could the tricks of Di Chen and others escape the eyes of an old fox like Gao Ying.

Of course, what Dichen did was definitely not useless. It is gratifying to succeed in this separation, even if it fails, it can still plant a thorn in the gap between Da Sui and Da Xia. That being the case, it was effortless, so why not do it.

"Aiqing is right." Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty nodded, he also had this guess before.

"If my minister's expectations are right, Daxia should take the initiative to contact us." Gao Ying boldly predicted, "Quanzhou maintains close business ties with Daxia, and they have no reason to ignore it."

Speaking of this, for the first time, a trace of worry flashed in Gao Ying's eyes.

The biggest crisis of Da Sui right now is not the geographical siege, but the lifeline of material supply in the city is held in the hands of Da Xia, which really makes people anxious.

In the royal city, there is a fixed number of NPCs other than players, that is, the total population is determined by the number of imperial guards. According to the recruitment ratio of one in ten, the total population of the city is ten times the size of the imperial guards.

Specific to Quanzhou, it is necessary to fully accommodate more than 11 million NPCs, plus nearly 10 million players, the population of the entire city will exceed 20 million.

What is the concept of an urban population of 20 million? Even in the 21st century, when the population is exploding, there are only three cities in China with urban populations exceeding 20 million, namely the imperial capital, the magic capital, and Chongqing.

With the limitations of the ancient city, it simply cannot accommodate a population of this size.

What is the concept of 20 million people living in a city? Taking food consumption as an example, 20 million units of food are consumed every day, and at least one province needs to devote its efforts to supply such a large amount of food.

To live, the people in the city need not only food, but also vegetables, fish, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, cloth, leather, flour and other daily necessities.

Without a whole province to transfuse the king's city, it would be impossible to feed such a large population. Even if this is the case, it still needs to be a richer province, and a slightly poorer province cannot be supplied.

Before the emperor entered the royal city, Gaia has been blurring the royal city. Although there are more than 10 million NPCs in Quanzhou City, a large part of them are under trusteeship, so as not to cause a burden on the royal city.

When Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty entered Quanzhou, this kind of trusteeship was naturally gradually lifted.

This also means that if the four counties belonging to the Great Xia Dynasty in the Southern Fujian Province stop supplying materials to Quanzhou, then within half a month, Quanzhou will be in chaos due to the shortage of materials.

Of course, this is just the most extreme approach, both sides will suffer, and no one will benefit.

Ouyang Shuo really issued such a bastard order, Da Sui had no choice but to send troops in order to protect himself, trying to subdue the southern province of Fujian by force, the war broke out as soon as it broke out.

This is what no one wants to see.

But no matter what, there is no doubt that Da Xia has grasped the lifeblood of Da Sui. So, why not let Gao Ying, the minister, make you worry.

Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was not stupid, so he naturally thought of this, agreed with Gao Ying's opinion, and prepared to wait and see what happened.

…………

Shanhai City, Summer Palace.

Not long after Wang Meng arrived in Quanzhou, he was detected by Shanhaiwei.

In the past two years, the former Black Snake Guard and the current Shanhai Guard have worked hard to create an airtight intelligence network in Quanzhou City.

Any disturbance in Quanzhou cannot be hidden from the eyes of Shanhaiwei secret agents.

When Shen Buhai got the news, he had a premonition that it was a key piece of information, and he didn't dare to neglect it. After personally verifying it, he immediately reported it to the king.

Ouyang Shuo was not surprised when he heard this, if Di Chen and the others didn't take advantage of the sensitive relationship between Da Sui and Da Xia to make something happen, it would be abnormal.

"My lord knows, keep watching." Ouyang Shuo ordered.

"promise!"

After Shen Buhai took his leave and left, Ouyang Shuo turned to Tsing Yi and said, "Please come over to Honglu Temple." Counting the time, Emperor Wen of Sui should settle down, and it's time to get in touch with Da Sui.

"yes!"

There were no eunuchs in the Xia Palace, so naturally there was no chief eunuch. Tsing Yi, a scholar of Miwen Pavilion who works with Ouyang Shuo in the imperial study, is now playing such a role of uploading and dispatching.

After a little tilt, Zhang Yi came to Fengzhao.

"My humble minister pays homage to the king!"

"Give me a seat!" Ouyang Shuo waved his hand and said, "I've called you this time because I want you to go to a country as an envoy."

Zhang Yi thought about it, and said: "Your Majesty is referring to the Great Sui Dynasty?" Right now, Zhang Yi, the Minister of the Honglu Temple, can personally lead the mission, that is the Great Sui Dynasty.

"Smart." Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "Dynasty and Quanzhou have always been closely connected and have a very close relationship. The two sides have maintained close contacts in terms of economics, trade and cultural exchanges."

"Now that Quanzhou has a new owner, we naturally have to do our best as landlords and send congratulations. The trade agreement signed by the two parties needs to be reconfirmed."

Zhang Yi was startled, and said, "What does your majesty mean, that we want to continue to maintain the cooperative relationship between the two parties?"

Ouyang Shuo glanced at Zhang Yi with a half-smile, and lightly said, "Why not?!"

Zhang Yi was terrified, so she hurried out of the queue, bowed and said: "This humble minister has made a mistake, please punish him by the king."

"Okay, I understand what you mean." Ouyang Shuo looked relaxed, "Peace is the most important right now."

"promise!"

Zhang Yi responded, while chewing the deep meaning of the king's words in her heart, she was a little lost in thought.
