Chapter 463 Li Yucheng

Hearing this, Xu Yuan couldn't help but smile in his heart.

As soon as these words came out, it didn't matter whether they were what his father said back then. As long as the prince said one more sentence at this time: "Will you go with me alone?" More or less, some heartbeat will arise.

But it's a pity that the person being recruited is Xu Yuan.

But there is one thing to say, this prince's method of recruiting people is indeed much better than that guy Li Yunqing.

Li Yunqing simply paints a picture for you personally, while the prince puts himself into it and paints a picture of the two of them working together.

There is no promise, but it makes people yearn for it.

Smiling in his heart, Xu Yuan began to think about how he would respond if the other party solicited him.

According to his current status and personality, there is a high probability that he will not agree to such a direct solicitation, no matter how tempted he is.

Because the son of the Minister of War is a gentleman, not a villain.

The Minister of War is a direct descendant of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so it is impossible for his descendants to not know this kind of thing.

In other words, if he agreed to the olive branch offered by the prince again, it would be equivalent to agreeing to backstab his biological father.

But it was obvious that Li Yucheng had also thought of this. His soft voice gently sounded in the elegant and quiet wing again. He did not choose to recruit him directly, but asked softly:

"My lord, what do you think of Mr. Xu's words?"

"."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Ask him what he thinks?

Of course he felt that these words were correct, objective and to the point.

But the question is, can this be said?

The most basic political sense told Xu Yuan that as the "son of the Minister of War", he could not comment on the world governed by those two old men.

The two people who said this are now the emperor and the prime minister. After they have achieved success and fame, it can be said that it is a good talk to mention this matter again.

But when it is said by the younger generation, it seems a bit rebellious.

You must know that the prince is sitting in front of you, and with Xu Yuan's current status and character, it is impossible for him to establish a government directly in front of him, even if the other party proposes it first.

In role-playing, you must first enter the role.

Thoughts flashed through, Xu Yuan's face showed a hint of hesitation, and he said in a hesitant voice:

"Xu Gong said, how virtuous and capable is Wang?"

"Young Master Wang, what you said is wrong."

Li Yucheng interrupted Xu Yuan with a chuckle, and said with a smile: "Tonight's conversation is just a joke, we can compare our feelings later."

That's what I'm waiting for.

Xu Yuan smiled from the bottom of his heart. Although role-playing is troublesome, he must be involved in the play. He exhaled:

"Since His Highness is so candid, it seems that Wang is a little embarrassed, but Wang does not agree with Xu Gong's words."

Li Yucheng raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, with a hint of surprise on his gentle face, and then smiled:

"Young Master Wang, it's okay to say so."

Xu Yuan took a deep breath and bowed to the prince opposite:

"Wang dared to ask His Highness, in His Highness's opinion, what is a peaceful and prosperous age?"

Li Yucheng's gentle brows frowned slightly upon hearing this, his fingertips brushed the texture of the tea table, and he casually replied:

"You want to say that if one's definition of peace and prosperity differs, one's conclusions will also be different?"

"yes."

"Then from the prince's point of view, what is a peaceful and prosperous age?"

"If there is no peace, what is the prosperous age?"

"."

Li Yucheng didn't reply immediately after hearing this. He raised the porcelain cup in front of him, took a sip of the tea, put it down, and said with a faint look:

"Young Master Wang does have a heart that cares about the people. If he can become a pillar of the imperial court in the future, it will be a blessing to the people of Dayan."

We only mention worrying about the people, not the country.

Obviously, the prince in front of him did not agree with what Xu Yuan just said.

Of course, Xu Yuan himself did not agree.

I say this mainly because I want to play the role of the son of the Minister of War.

After all, the lesson learned from Li Yunqing's gangstering last time is still fresh in my mind, but I can't act in my true self again.

Through the policy of liberating productivity by opening the cultivation method to common people all over the world, Dayan's national power is now infinitely stronger than it was back then.

You must know that what the old man and Li Yaoxuan did not only opened up the door to practice martial arts, they also opened up many avenues for Shu Li to learn formation patterns, animal training, building materials, pharmacology, etc.

The old man's evaluation of Dayan decades ago was that it was a prosperous age. But over the past few decades, Dayan's national power has expanded to the point where it can fight civil wars while fighting foreign races. Now it is not a prosperous age, so what is a prosperous age? ?

"This is just Wang's family opinion."

"Young Master Wang is too modest."

Li Yucheng still maintained that soft voice and said softly: "Then from the prince's point of view, how can we explain this matter of peace?"

Oops.

Is this the problem?

Xu Yuan sighed slightly in his heart and replied softly:

"Wang is very talented and has little knowledge about such difficult problems."

"Tuk-tuk. Tuk-tuk."

Halfway through, Xu Yuan heard a slight tapping sound.

Li Yucheng's expression remained gentle, but his fingertips began to tap lightly on the tea table in front of him.

Seeing this scene, Xu Yuan knew that his performance was almost done.

Li Yucheng made a special trip tonight, not only to instigate him, but also to inspect him.

If he continues what he just said at this time, the prince will most likely give up directly.

There is no need for such people to recruit people who first overturn the prime minister's words with big words, and then turn to the facts without being able to explain why.

And if you deliberately don't say it and pretend to be humble, then you have no discernment. There is no need to recruit such people, because even if they are recruited, they will be exposed sooner or later inside the prime minister's palace.

However, as a talented but frustrated illegitimate son, the character formed by being suppressed in all aspects should be both arrogant and inferior, so Xu Yuan must play such a role to fit the character.

Staring at Li Yucheng's expression, Xu Yuan chuckled, stopped what he was talking about and said instead:

"Although I am not sure about these difficult problems, I still have some opinions of my own. I hope His Highness will correct me."

Li Yucheng stopped tapping his fingers on the table and smiled softly:

"Young Master Wang indeed has a gap in his heart."

Xu Yuan raised two fingers and chuckled:

"I think there are two reasons for the chaos in our place, Dayan."

"."

Li Yucheng nodded with a smile, but a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He thought that the person in front of him would only talk about the reason for the sect, but he didn't expect that there were two points.

Under Li Yucheng's gaze, Xu Yuan slowly said:

"First, the local sect. Wang has been living abroad for more than 20 years. The sect is willing to quell the chaos for the common people, so that local monsters and man-made disasters will no longer exist."

Li Yucheng had a complicated smile on his face after hearing this:

"The sect should always be unwilling."

Xu Yuan smiled slightly:

"Your Highness, I think the prime minister and the emperor must have made a decision on this after decades of planning."

"."

The asymmetry of information made Li Yucheng immediately show a hint of appreciation in his eyes after hearing this.

Even many high-ranking local officials only knew the decrees issued by the imperial court and did not know why. It was not easy to see the plans of the two through these marginal decrees.

For example, if a government order is issued to ask local officials to repair an official road leading to the Zongmen Mountain Gate, some officials will think that this is a symbol of reconciliation between the court and the Zongmen, and some officials will think that it is to facilitate business travel, but few people will. Thinking that this is preparing for the future military formation.

A smile appeared on Li Yucheng's lips, but then his smile faded and he shook his head slightly:

"Father, they do have a plan, but haha."

Halfway through, Li Yucheng paused and stared at Xu Yuan with a smile.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan immediately rolled his eyes.

If he, the prime minister's son, hadn't already known what the second half of the sentence was, he would probably want to rip off the Riddler's head.

There was a hint of curiosity in his eyes, but Xu Yuan did not ask further questions, while Li Yucheng smiled brightly and said:

"Master Wang, where is the second one?"

Hearing this, Xu Yuan gently tapped the table in front of him with his raised finger:

"Your Highness, Dayan's country is too big."

Li Yucheng frowned slightly, his eyes a little confused:

"My lord, what do you mean by this?"

Xu Yuan explained softly:

"When a country's territory exceeds the means of communication, it will inevitably lead to a decline in control, and the ultimate result of the decline in control is chaos."

In the ancient times of previous lives, even those dynasties and places known as the peaceful and prosperous times would have strongmen and bandits, and even around the millennium when mobile phones were popular, there were many similar things.

This was the first time Li Yucheng heard this statement. He was silent for a while and smiled slightly:

"Young Master Wang does have a problem in his mind. I have never thought about this problem before tonight."

Xu Yuan smiled slightly and said softly:

"His Royal Highness, Tianhuang, cannot leave the capital without permission. It is normal for such trivial things to be undetectable. However, the solution to this problem is also very simple. When the formation technology of the communication crystal changes in the future, it will be self-defeating."

Hearing this, Li Yucheng's political sense made him immediately frown and said softly:

"From what Prince Wang sees, how far can this formation change be solved?"

A flash of hesitation flashed in Xu Yuan's eyes, and he whispered:

"Go to the countryside."

Li Yucheng was silent for a while after hearing this, then slowly stood up from the tea table, shook his head, and whispered:

"Prince, your idea is too ideal."

As he spoke, he slowly walked towards the external railing behind the silk curtain in the wing:

"With the sharing of information, perhaps the chaos in the countryside can be solved, but the hearts of the common people should no longer be pure. Now that my father has preached to the common people in the world, if someone secretly takes advantage of it in the future, it will not be less than the sect's trouble."

Xu Yuan looked at the other person's back with a little surprise in his eyes.

He suddenly discovered that none of the princes in the royal family seemed to be fuel-efficient.

As soon as I heard this idea, I could immediately think of the cornerstone that might threaten the royal family's rule in the future.

However, the other party still failed to escape the limited vision brought by the feudal era, or the vision of the feudal royal family.

He also stood up and followed the other person to stand on the outside railing. The breeze blew on their faces. They looked at the bustling night view of the ancient city of Di'an City outside for a while. Xu Yuan glanced at the other person's side face and slowly He opened his mouth and said:

"Your Highness, there was a monk who once had a beggar, but he talked to Wang about this matter, and he gave an answer to this question."

"Monk?"

"Yes, monk, it's not Wang's own idea."

"." Li Yucheng.

Xu Yuan said quietly:

"He gave five strategies."

"Oh? Which five strategies?"

"Foolish people, poor people, weak people, tired people, humiliating people."

“.”

Li Yucheng’s pupils shrank slightly, and he suddenly looked back. His eyes looking at Xu Yuan became a little strange, with a few traces of suspicion.

Xu Yuan exhaled lightly, and the hot air turned into white mist and dissipated in the air. He slowly explained:

“To fool the people, use the method of public opinion guidance to unify the people’s thoughts. To weaken the people, the government strengthens the government and makes the people fear the officials. To tire the people, find things for the people, run around for a long time, so that the people have no time to take care of other things. As for the policy of humiliating the people, it is the same as weakening the people, so that the people have no self-esteem and self-confidence.”

“Enough.”

For the first time, Xu Yuan heard Li Yucheng’s tone other than that gentle voice.

It was very light, but a little cold.

The cold wind blew on his face like a knife. Xu Yuan turned his eyes and met the eyes of the prince.

Li Yucheng stared at him, his palm gently holding the wooden railing in front of him:

"I never thought that Prince Wang is really a great talent for governing the world. If these five strategies are used to control the people, my worries just now are really redundant."

Xu Yuan met the other party's gaze and smiled slightly:

"Your Highness, Wang has already said that these five strategies were said by that monk."

"." Li Yucheng.

Li Yucheng took a deep breath, stared into Xu Yuan's eyes, and said word by word:

"Whether it is you who came up with it, Prince Wang, or that begging monk, I don't want to hear such a vicious plan to control the people spread in the world in the future."

"."

After the voice fell, the railing fell into silence for a while.

Xu Yuan was a little surprised.

As long as Shang Chelie's technique of controlling the people is not placed in the world of "One Punch Man", it can be used in any era and any background with some changes.

He didn't understand why the prince reacted so strongly.

There was a long silence between the two.

Finally, Xu Yuan spoke up to break the silence and asked:

"Your Highness, is there anything wrong with these five strategies?"

Li Yucheng shook his head, looked at the pedestrians and visitors laughing and joking on the bustling streets below Xuanyue Tower, and said quietly:

"There is nothing wrong, but I don't want to see the common people like this."

"."

Xu Yuan stared at the middle-aged man with deep eyes for a few breaths, and suddenly a few complicated feelings arose in his heart.

If the other party can really ascend the throne, he may be a benevolent monarch.

"Call the king the boat and the people the water."

"What?"

"Hmm?"

"Just now, Prince Wang said."

Li Yucheng looked back and whispered softly: ". The king is the boat and the people are the water?"

"."

Xu Yuan was slightly stunned, then smiled softly:

"It's just a joke, Your Highness, don't take it seriously. Although the current king is the boat, the water is not the people."

Li Yucheng, who was wearing a prince's python robe, had a trace of thought in his eyes. After a while, he also shook his head gently:

"That's true. If one day most of the people of my Great Yan can practice, maybe the water carrying the boat can become the people."

Xu Yuan smiled:

"By then, my Great Yan will be a fairy dynasty on earth."

"."

Li Yucheng did not answer this joke, but his eyes looking at the prosperous Di'an were filled with a trace of yearning.

It was quiet for a long time,

until Xu Yuan thought that the conversation tonight was over, he suddenly heard a whisper coming from the side.

Very light, and with a little reluctance.

"I want to try."
