There was not a breath of wind in the palace. The servants held up sticky sticks and carefully stuck to the noisy cicadas, so as not to disturb His Majesty, who was already in a restless mood.

There was faint movement in the imperial study room, and the servants looked at each other with fear in their eyes.

"Bastard!" Emperor Tiansheng threw down a memorandum and hit a person in the face fiercely, "You have a great idea!"

The kneeling man raised his head with panic on his face. It was Qiu Shangqi, the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army.

Due to the failure of the "Horse Market" strategy, Dai Viet seemed to realize that the Tian Sheng court had no time to take care of other things, so it intensified its efforts. The people on the border could not bear the disturbance and fled to the interior one after another. A large number of border residents poured into the interior cities and towns, which also brought problems to local security. Numerous hidden dangers arose, and Dai Viet gathered more soldiers and horses, with the intention of a large-scale invasion.

Emperor Tiansheng had nowhere to vent his anger, and all the blame was placed on Qiu Shangqi, who had suggested the "horse market" in the first place.

Qiu Shangqi complained secretly, but had no way to evade it. He raised his head and looked at Feng Zhiwei, who was writing abbreviations for various memorials in front of Emperor Tiansheng's desk with a calm expression, and sighed silently.

He wanted to shirk the responsibility, but this strategy was his own. Mr. Wei came to visit the house that day, sat in his study for a while, flipped through a few books and then went back. When he was cleaning up, he saw something on the opened book After learning about the previous Dacheng's method of dealing with the Rong people on the border, he came up with this strategy.

Nowadays, what can you blame others for? Is it strange that someone has read his own book?

"I failed in my job." Qiu Shangqi kowtowed repeatedly, "How dare you offend me, Tiansheng, for a mere Da Viet, please allow me to atone for my sins and lead my son, Tiansheng, to kill this arrogant Xiaoli. Only then will you know that my power of heaven cannot be violated!"

Emperor Tiansheng narrowed his eyes and said without comment for a while: "Step back first."

Qiu Shangqi carefully exited and looked at the rolling clouds in the sky. He thought to himself that at his age, should he still guard the border and dispatch troops?

In the imperial study, Emperor Tiansheng was silent for a long time, then suddenly asked: "How?"

Several pavilion elders in the study looked at each other, and then said one after another: "Your Majesty, it is not appropriate to start the war lightly..."

"The best thing to do is to calm the people who are outsiders with gentleness and power..."

"The former prince's rebellion has not yet been completed, and the war is starting again, which will harm the stability of the people..."

Emperor Tian Sheng's face became increasingly gloomy, and everyone gradually stopped talking, looking around uneasily.

Ning Yi sat at the head of the royal study room. He was originally here to report on the water conservancy affairs of the capital, but when there was a discussion, he was left to listen. The man with black hair and a jade crown looked calm and listened with a smile.

Feng Zhiwei was helping Emperor Tiansheng polish his ink on several cases not far from him, her eyes lowered and her face calm, her expression a little calmer than his.

Since Ning Yi stepped into the royal study, neither of them looked at the other.

At this time, Emperor Tiansheng looked bad, and Ning Yi suddenly smiled and said, "Father, you might as well listen to Mr. Guoshi's opinion."

Everyone's eyes suddenly turned to Feng Zhiwei in the corner, and some people had a look of ridicule on their faces - the word "His Royal Highness the King of Chu" as a national scholar sounded a bit ambiguous...

Feng Zhiwei remained calm, put down his pen and stood up, saying quietly: "Fight, but not fight."

"Why do you say that?" Emperor Tiansheng's eyes lit up.

"The Vietnamese people are unruly and unwilling to surrender. There has been no war with the Central Plains for many years. They have long forgotten the embarrassment of being driven out of the Central Plains by Tiansheng, but they only remember that this great world was occupied by the Tiansheng Dynasty, and they were ready to make a move in it. Those who are unruly must be threatened and given a lesson."

"Well, continue."

"However, the Yue Kingdom was born as a nomadic people, and its cavalry is the best in the world. It comes and goes like the wind. It is not difficult to defeat it in one go. It is not easy to eradicate it and damage its vitality."

The chief minister of the cabinet, Yao Ying, frowned and said: "Wei Zhi, you go around and around and every word is empty talk."

Feng Zhiwei glanced at the senior chief minister. This veteran of the King of Chu's faction had always had issues with her because of his son. Now that he was working in the same room, he was targeting her all the time. He couldn't wait to see her. Kick her away early.

"Yes, old prime minister." She smiled softly and had a respectful attitude, "Wei Zhi is very talented and has little knowledge, so I don't dare to show off in front of you."

"Only those with little talent and learning need experience, continue." Emperor Tiansheng frowned, "Yao Ying, you are an old man in the imperial dynasty and the chief minister, how come you don't have any patience at all?"

Yao Ying was frustrated and shut up angrily, secretly cursing this boy for taking the path of Princess Shaoning, coaxing His Majesty to look at him differently.

“The centipede insects are dead but not stiff, and the weeds are burned out and will grow again in the next spring.” Feng Zhiwei said, “Soldiers and horses can be recruited again, and weapons can be remade. A few battles cannot make the mighty Dai Viet heart die, so why not ... Weaken its people! Destroy its weapons! Control its country!"

Emperor Tiansheng raised his eyebrows and said quickly: "Speak!"

"Instead of being stubbornly defensive, it is better to open the border widely." Feng Zhiwei said, "The suggestion of the Qiu Du Du Ma Market is actually in the right direction, but the timing is wrong. Dai Viet has been arrogant and neglectful in recent years, and opening the Ma Market will only make people The State of Yue thinks that our government is showing weakness and is becoming more arrogant, so it should fight first! Use heavy troops to suppress the formation, seize its ambitions in one battle, and then trade with each other."

"The more you talk, the more absurd it becomes!" Yao Ying was displeased and scolded, "Now that we are fighting, why are we trading with each other? If we don't take advantage of the victory and pursue it, we will miss a great opportunity."

"Mr. Yao, your Majesty just said that you should open up your voice and let young people practice and practice." Hu Shengshan, the second assistant with a goatee on the side, answered with a smile.

Feng Zhiwei smiled and thanked her - the old guy was Hu Fuzi who was in the political theory class at Qingming Academy that day. Although he was also from the King of Chu's faction, he rarely made things difficult for her.

"We need to trade with each other." She smiled and said angrily, "Once Vietnam surrenders, we will also work hard to trade with each other. Silk, porcelain, medicine, food, anything that Vietnam does not have, except for weapons, we will not be stingy. Provided, at the same time, the criminals from the mainland were moved northward, and intermarriage with Yue was allowed."

“Nonsense!” Everyone rebuked this time, “Our Tiansheng people are of noble blood, how can we be confused with the people of Huawai!”

“Due to living in a barren land for many years, Dai Viet has struggled with the sky, poverty, and intrusive grassland tribes, and has developed a rebellious, brave and aggressive character. And these people who claim to be descendants of the Dapeng God Men, once they marry delicate Central Plains women, experience the stability and prosperity of the Han people, learn farming and business, own their own property, get used to eating rich Central Plains food, and become accustomed to relying on various medicines... can they still Do you have the same blood and endurance as before? Can you still do it on the battlefield and die without hesitation?"
