The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 184: Do you want chaos in the world?
The atmosphere between the Song, Jin and Liao dynasties became increasingly tense.

However, they still did not act rashly, but instead looked cautiously in the direction of Dongfang Mingguo and Helin.

Distant Liyang.

"It's a pity that there are still too many people with ulterior motives in the country, which makes me unable to move easily."

"Yes, it took Liyang the shortest time to unify the surrounding countries and become a Han Chinese power. It will take a lot of time to stabilize and rectify the internal affairs. Only then will it have the strength to intervene in the affairs of the world."

Beimang above Liyang.

"Buddha, do you think this is the time for me, Beimang, to mobilize our army?" The Queen of Beimang looked far to the west and spoke in a majestic voice.

Next to her was a figure who looked like a farmer.

Hearing this, he said calmly: "If I, Beimang, send troops, there are only two directions.

Liyang, Chagatai Khanate of the Yuan Dynasty.

If Xu Xiao is not dead, the 400,000 cavalrymen of Beiliang will be united. Even if we Beimang can win, we will suffer heavy losses and the loss will not outweigh the gain.

Now the only thing left is the Chagatai Khanate. It is not difficult to destroy this Khanate, but Temujin is still watching from behind.

If Temujin does not move, then we in the Northern Mang should not move lightly."

"Yes, if Temujin doesn't move, then Northern Mang shouldn't move lightly. The Jin and Liao countries must think the same way.

They are all looking forward to Temujin's move." The Northern Mang Queen sighed, with a hint of fear and reluctance.

"Temujin would not and did not dare to move rashly, because he knew that he was watching others, and others were also watching his Mongols.

At this moment, the only person who could make him move was the Ming Dynasty's Emperor Shengwu." The farmer's eyes were slightly hollow, and his voice was focused.

"Will that young Emperor Shengwu move?" The Queen of Beimang looked towards the southwest expectantly.

····
The changes in the world are happening too fast.

It caught countless people off guard.

In the blink of an eye, it seemed as if the world was about to become a chaos and a melee among the countries.

Perhaps most people have not noticed this yet, but the Ming Dynasty’s top leaders who are being watched by other countries naturally know it.

The Ming Dynasty's top leaders were the first to anticipate the current situation.

Because they knew that Yang Xuangan was going to rebel and the Sui Dynasty would be in civil strife.

He also guessed that the Mongols wanted to deal with the Turks.

However, when the depressing atmosphere of such great changes really arrived, the Ming Dynasty's senior officials who had been mentally prepared could not help but feel heavy.

Even Zhu Houzhao could not remain calm. After receiving Gu Xichao's advice, he once again convened a high-level meeting of the cabinet and the military cabinet, and included Li Jing.

"Old Gu, tell everyone your thoughts." Zhu Houzhao said thoughtfully.

"Yes." Gu Xichao responded, looked at the others, and said solemnly: "The current situation is even more chaotic and tense than what I, Daming, expected before.

Therefore, I suggest that Your Majesty send troops to the north and target Kublai Khan.

In this case, Temujin would definitely go south in person.

Once Temujin goes south, the world will be in complete chaos, with all the kingdoms at war. "

Before he finished speaking, Liu Jian and several dukes all changed their expressions.

Gu Xichao didn't care and continued: "After your majesty sends out the troops, you don't have to fight with Temujin, you just need to keep him in the north of my Ming Dynasty.

In this way, Jin and Liao will no longer have any worries and can either attack Song or attack each other.

The Northern Mang will also have no worries and is likely to attack the Chagatai Khanate.

In this way, no matter what the outcome, the Mongols, Jin, Liao, Song, and even the Northern Mang would all start a war and weaken their own strength.

Only our Great Ming is as stable as a mountain."

After the voice fell, the expressions of Liu Jian and others changed again, and they couldn't help but look at Gu Xichao with fear in their eyes.

The words "do whatever it takes" appeared in their minds.

Provoking chaos in the world and fighting among countries is not just talk. How many people will die?

Even worse outcomes may occur.

"Your Majesty, I object." Without hesitation, Liu Jian said solemnly: "This move seems to be beneficial to our Great Ming, but can we really avoid a fight by entangled Temujin on the border of our Great Ming?
What our Ming Dynasty needs more now is stability. Our Ming Dynasty is already thriving, so why should we take risks?

What's more, this move is to provoke chaos in the world. Although the strength of various countries will be weakened, it is a good thing for our Ming Dynasty.

But in the end, it cannot be hidden from the world.

By then, what kind of reputation and opinion will our Ming Dynasty have in the eyes of the people of the world?
Those who stir up chaos in the world will be spurned by the world."

"I don't agree with what Elder Liu said." Gu Xichao immediately objected, "Temujin will never act on impulse. As long as our Ming Dynasty remains restrained, he will not really fight with our Ming Dynasty.

As long as there is no real fighting, the internal situation of our Ming Dynasty will be stable.

As for fame, how ridiculous is it?
If you want to achieve the supreme feat of unifying the world, why should you care about your reputation?

When our Ming Dynasty begins to unify the world in the future, won’t we be provoking chaos in the world?

If you take this into consideration, how can you unify the world?"

"Minister Gu, you are too radical and too presumptuous." Liu Jian said calmly, "You must know that when war breaks out, it is often beyond the control of one person.

By then, the situation will be ever-changing and no one knows what will happen?
Temujin, the Queen of Northern Mang, Wanyan Aguda, Yelu Deguang and others are all heroes who will not do things blindly according to your wishes.

Even if Temujin was entangled on the border, the Three Kingdoms of Song, Jin and Liao were at war, the Northern Mang attacked the Chagatai Khanate, and the civil strife in the Sui Dynasty continued.

How can this chaos be stopped?
Will the chaos be stopped simply by releasing Temujin?
Would Temujin be so well-behaved and obedient?
If the chaos continues, will Your Majesty be forced to stay at the border forever?
If Kublai Khan and Batu Khan were not determined to destroy the Turks, what would the situation be like then?" "It is true that the situation cannot be fully controlled by people, but how can those who do big things not take risks?

Temujin wanted to destroy the Turks. Didn't he think about the risks?

There are risks in doing anything, and we, the Ming Dynasty, should seize any opportunity to weaken the enemy's power." Gu Xichao insisted.

In his opinion, the current situation is a rare good opportunity.

"Your Majesty." Xie Qian spoke, he looked directly at Zhu Houzhao, and said in a deep voice: "You want a chaotic world where the situation is out of control, the Ming Dynasty may not be able to develop peacefully, and the people of the Ming Dynasty cannot live a good life sooner.

Countless people died across the country and the Ming Dynasty became infamous?
Or do you have the confidence to develop the Ming Dynasty to its peak, accumulate enough strength, and destroy all the countries in the world in one fell swoop and unify the world?"

Gu Xichao's heart sank, and he couldn't help but look at Xie Qian deeply and sighed.

These words directly hit your Majesty's weak points.

Sure enough, Zhu Houzhao, who was originally hesitant, finally made up his mind.

He raised his eyebrows and said firmly: "Of course I have confidence."

"Old Gu, let's forget about it this time.

It is indeed not good to stir up chaos in the world and let too many people die." Zhu Houzhao looked at Gu Xichao and said.

"Yes, I understand." Although Gu Xichao sighed, he still responded immediately without any hesitation.

He is wholeheartedly concerned about His Majesty and the Ming Dynasty.

But your majesty's will is more important.

"Although the Ming Dynasty will not move, we cannot just do nothing." Zhu Houzhao thought of something, and suddenly smiled expectantly, "Let alone winning over people from the Sui Dynasty.

Immediately send an envoy to the State of Song to tell Zhao Ji that the Ming Dynasty did not take any action and saved the State of Song, and he should thank me.

Let him bring out the thank-you gift.

Think about it, where else can we gain benefits? "

The ministers were a little speechless.

This is to hold the State of Song hostage.

"Your Majesty, isn't this a bit inappropriate? After all, Song is a neighboring country of our Ming Dynasty." Ma Wensheng, a new cabinet minister who seldom speaks, said embarrassedly.

"What's inappropriate? Do you know how much it is? Why don't you give it to me?" Zhu Houzhao scolded in dissatisfaction.

Ma Wensheng stopped talking immediately. What could he give?

“It’s okay to ask Song for some thank you gifts, but Your Majesty, our Ming Dynasty should not be too harsh on other small countries.

Otherwise, your reputation will be too bad, and it will be difficult to do things when you unify the world in the future." Liu Jian said earnestly.

He was really afraid that His Majesty would say that he would also demand gifts of thanks from other small countries.

As for unifying the world, he will definitely not be able to do that anyway. It is still very useful to use this to persuade Your Majesty, so of course he should use it.

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, it seemed to be the case.

It's a pity that I gave up the idea of ​​asking small countries to receive thank-you gifts as well.

After another discussion of the situation, the ministers dispersed.

Afterwards, Zhu Houzhao withdrew most of his thoughts and let the Sui Dynasty, the Mongols, and the Turks fight.

As long as the Ming Dynasty does not take any action, the situation should not change drastically.

Even if it really happened, the Ming Dynasty had the strength to take action at any time.

Staring at Ming Guo, seeing that he remained silent, they understood his choice.

Jin, Liao and Northern Mang were all quite disappointed.

The Mongols were quite happy, and Kublai Khan and Batu attacked the Turks even more fiercely.

Yang Guang also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the Ming Kingdom did not move, the situation in the world would not become more chaotic, and he could concentrate more on dealing with Yang Xuangan.

The State of Song was both happy and angry.

"You are going too far, you are going too far, do you think I am too easy to talk to?

And you asked me for a thank you gift!

Zhu Houzhao, you have bullied me too much, huhu..."

After being angry for a while, Zhao Ji calmed down and said through gritted teeth: "He is just greedy for small profits, so what's the harm if I give it to him?"

"The officials are wise."

····
Zhu Houzhao did not care about the emotions of various countries and was diverted by the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty.

The fourth day of September.

Guo Bujing and Cao Zhengchun personally led a large group of people back to the capital.

"Er Cao Banban, Lao Guo, you are finally back." Zhu Houzhao looked at the two people in front of him and said happily.

As usual, I patted their shoulders vigorously, and seeing that they all looked stronger, I smiled even more.

Cao Zhengchun's touching flattery made Zhu Houzhao laugh.

Afterwards, the two of them began to report in detail.

"Your Majesty, this time the Kong family has been uprooted, and most of the officials in the entire Lu officialdom have been implicated." Guo Bujing said in a serious voice.
