Turbulent Times Chapter 852: A plan to weaken the enemy’s country

"My lord, this subordinate is about to tell my lord about this matter, please enter the palace to invite your majesty, and ask your majesty to take back the order. After the new capital of Luoyang is built, the Grand Canal will be built, or the time limit will be extended, otherwise I don't know how many common people will die in vain." Liu Ziming saw Wang Junlin put down the scroll, picked it up and looked at it, and bowed to Wang Junlin with an indignant and dignified expression.

Wang Junlin signaled Liu Ziming to get up, and said with a complicated expression: "I don't know that Ziming has the heart of the world. I went to the palace and told His Majesty about this three days ago, but how do you think His Majesty will react?"

Looking at Wang Junlin's expression at this time, Liu Ziming knew that the emperor probably did not listen to the persuasion, and said with a disappointed face, "What did your majesty say?"

Wang Junlin said: "Your Majesty reprimanded me, just let me do my own thing well."

Liu Ziming became anxious when he heard this, and said: "But is it true that the imperial court is allowed to go on like this, killing hundreds of thousands of people and laying waste to several states?"

Wang Junlin shook his head and said: "Zi Ming may not understand His Majesty, but with His Majesty's character, no one can dissuade him."

After staying in Daxing City for more than half a year, Yuan Taizuo was finally ready to leave for Goguryeo.

Yuan Tae-joo sent 5,000 war horses, 10,000 pieces of Korean ginseng and 100,000 taels of silver to Da Sui in the name of Goguryeo. In other words, Yuan Taizuo loses a lot if he loses face, and it is a small loss if his political opponents seize the opportunity to remove him from the position of Prime Minister.

So Yuan Taizuo was able to return to the country more than a month ago, but he has stayed in Daxing City for more than a month. The purpose is to let Da Sui return the gift. To put it bluntly, Da Sui also gave him some things. It's good to save face when I go back, so as to block the mouths of political enemies.

After more than a month of hard work, after Yuan Taizuo promised Wang Junlin to give Wang Junlin another island in Goguryeo named Shendami Island, Wang Junlin helped him to settle the matter.

Wang Junlin specially entered the palace again for this reason, and had a secret conversation with Yang Guang in the imperial study for more than two hours. After Wang Junlin left the palace, an imperial decree was sent out in the palace immediately, ordering the six departments of the three provinces to collect the major temples in Guanzhong Five hundred eminent monks and one hundred craftsmen who specialize in building temples, whose Buddhism is exquisite and most able to persuade people to believe in Buddhism, returned to the country with Yuan Taizuo, which was regarded as a return gift to Goguryeo.

Monks spread Buddhist beliefs, and craftsmen built gorgeous temples and pavilions. Today's Goguryeo also believes in Buddhism, and it is quite popular. The Goguryeo nobles, including the Goguryeo royal family, respect Buddhism very much. Now the Sui Dynasty dispatches such Many eminent monks and craftsmen spread Buddhist teachings for Goguryeo and built temples and high halls. Yuan Taizuo agreed without much hesitation. At most, he only thought that there were too many monks in the Sui Dynasty. It is a valuable property, so these redundant monks and artisans who built temples were sent to them.

Although Yuan Taizuo is familiar with the classics of sages and sages in the Central Plains, he still has the Tao after all.

At the end of the Warring States period, all countries were vying for hegemony, Qin Wangzheng was in charge of Qin State, South Korea feared that Qin State would be powerful, and feared that it would be swallowed up, so they sent Zheng Guo, a hydraulic engineer, into Qin to persuade Qin King to build the Zhengguo Canal, Qin Wangzheng graciously agreed, and this canal consumed Qin The country has countless manpower, material resources and resources, which indeed weakened the Qin army and delayed the time for King Qin to rule the world. The construction of a canal greatly weakened the strength of Qin. , South Korea was eventually wiped out.

The canal named "Zheng Guo Canal" has gone through several dynasties for nearly a thousand years, and it still existed in the capital of the Sui Dynasty. It is not far from Jingyang County. .

In fact, Wang Junlin was inspired by the fact that the Tang Dynasty and Tubo were married and sent thousands of monks to accompany Princess Wencheng to marry, so he thought of sending monks to the Goguryeo people. History proves that Da Tang at that time Tang Zhiji was very successful.

At that time, the Tubo people were brave and warlike. Everyone was a soldier and a warrior. There were as many as 200,000 cavalry, which was the biggest disaster in the western part of the Tang Dynasty. And these monks became a group of scourges after they were scattered in Tubo territory. They brainwashed the industrious, brave and warlike Tubo people for many years. Anyway, the territory of Tubo is all empty, and there is no real thing. In addition, thousands of craftsmen have entered the country to build temples and sculpture Buddhas for the people. Being poor and spending a lot of national power to build temples and pavilions, after a hundred years, Tubo is no longer a threat to the Central Plains.

And what Wang Junlin persuaded Yang Guang was this weak enemy's strategy.

Yang Guang got Wang Junlin's proposal, and Longyan was delighted. It is said that the wild laughter in the imperial study continued for dozens of breaths, which frightened the eunuchs to think that His Majesty had gone crazy, and even the Imperial Medical Office was alarmed. During this conversation, Wang Junlin finally knew that Yang Guang was just like in history, and he wanted to swallow Goguryeo in one gulp, but he hadn't had time to put it on the agenda. Wang Junlin's strategy was exactly what he wanted.

Early in the morning, outside the east gate of Daxing City, there is a vast and mighty motorcade. The carriages are full of various special products of the Sui Dynasty, from silk silk to Buddhist scriptures, from exquisite porcelain to Buddha statues and divination. These things were also gifts to Goguryeo in the name of the Sui Dynasty, but in fact Yuan Taizuo bought them with his own money, and made the Sui treasury receive a sum of money. Yang Guang was quite pleased. Of course, these are all written by Wang Junlin.

Before Yuan Taizuo set off, there were a lot of people outside the east gate today.

As a secret deal with each other, Wang Junlin, who is still holding the other party's son Yuan Gai Suwen, naturally also came outside the city to send Yuan Taizuo off.

The scene of seeing off the Goguryeo mission in the Sui Dynasty was not very grand. In fact, Wang Junlin personally went out of the city to send them off on behalf of Yang Guang. Of course, some officials from the three provinces and six ministries also came. Yuan Taizuo's acting skills did not disappoint everyone, he kept holding this and that, even his eyes were red, wishing to change his nationality and live permanently in Daxing City, Deliberately created melancholy and nostalgia. Outside the east gate, everyone in Da Sui and Goguryeo competed with each other in their acting skills. The plot is touching and the emotions are delicate...

After saying goodbye to many important officials, Yuan Taizuo walked slowly to Wang Junlin and smiled at him.

"Qin Angong, I will bid you farewell today. I don't know when I will see you again. This old man is very reluctant to part with Qin Angong!"

Wang Junlin had just watched Yuan Taizuo and the officials from the six departments of the three provinces performing drowsily. At this moment, his expression lifted, thinking that it was time to perform by himself, and a fake smile that could no longer be fake appeared on his face.
