"Do you think Nanchu can succeed?"
Xiao Yanjing asked Han Ce, this was the main reason why he called Han Ce.
"I don't know, but I don't think it's possible to succeed."
Han Ce said that he was really not optimistic about Nan Chu.
"Why?"
"It's still the same sentence, the imperial power is not centralized." Han Ce said, the situation in Nanchu and Daliang is different, so the reform will not work.
"Then you still want to hand it over to him?"
Xiao Yanjing was a little puzzled, since Han Ce knew that it was impossible to succeed, why did he hand it over to Baili Zhong.
"I told him, but he still wanted to give it a try."
Han Ce also said helplessly, as if he would be hiding something if he didn't teach him.
"This result may lead to chaos in Southern Chu."
Xiao Yanjing seemed to have thought of the final outcome of Nanchu.
"Isn't that right?"
Han Ce smiled slightly.
"Why?"
Xiao Yanjing didn't understand Han Ce's words, what's so good about the chaos in Southern Chu.
"Your Majesty, reform the law and strengthen the country. When Daliang becomes strong, we will definitely fight against the heroes to unify the world. Although Daqi and Beiyan are powerful enemies, they are not the key. The key points are Southern Chu and Xiyi."
Han Ce said.
Don't forget, they reformed the law and strengthened the country, not just to make Daliang strong, but to let Daliang rule the world.
"What does this mean?"
"Southern Chu's land is fertile and rich in products. If we want to annex the world, we must start with Southern Chu. Annexing Southern Chu can provide us with powerful backup materials. Only with these materials can we fight Daqi and Beiyan. capital."
Han Ce said.
In Han Ce's eyes, Nan Chu was just a piece of fat.
Southern Chu can develop into the first step for Daliang to conquer the world.
"Then what?"
"Destroying Southern Chu is annexing Xiyi. Xiyi is weaker than Beiyan and Daqi, but it is on our west side. Once we start a war with Beiyan and Daqi, Xiyi will definitely take advantage of the fire, so the second In the next step, we will get rid of Xiyi's future troubles and ensure that our rear has no worries."
Han Ce said.
Annexing Southern Chu and Western Yi, and then dealing with Beiyan, Daqi, and Daliang will be 90% sure.
"You are still thoughtful."
Xiao Yanjing said.
Xiao Yanjing didn't expect Han Ce to think so far away.
He only wanted to win the land of the three counties, while Han Ce wanted to fight for world supremacy.
"However, there is a long way to go on this road."
Han Ce sighed, maybe they might not be able to accomplish these things in their lifetime.
"Even if there are thousands of difficulties and dangers, I will not hesitate." Xiao Yanjing said.
Half a year passed.
"Master Hou, today Baili Zhong came to say goodbye!" Bai Lizhong came to Zhenbei Hou Mansion to say goodbye to Han Ce.
"Are you leaving? In that case, Han Ce is here to wish King Qi his wish!" Han Ce said, knowing what Baili Zhong was going to do when he returned.
"I would like to borrow your auspicious words."
Baili Zhong said with a smile.
"I gotta go!"
Princess Ling'an looked at Lin Nianrou and the others, and then at Han Ce, "Master, don't forget that you still owe me a promise!" Zhao Ling'an reminded Han Ce.
Han Ce nodded.
"I know."
Han Ce didn't play tricks either
Five years of reform.
"Your Majesty, I now have a million troops in the Great Liang!" Zhang Ju, Minister of the Ministry of War, handed over the memorial of the Ministry of War to Xiao Yanjing.
"Millions of people?"
"That's right." Zhang Ju nodded, "There are 200,000 troops from the Han family in Beiliang City in the northern border, 300,000 troops in Danyang City and Yanshan Pass, 150,000 in the southern border, and 200,000 in the three counties in the northwest." , the capital is 50,000, and the Qishan army is 100,000, which does not include the soldiers and horses stationed in various counties."
Zhang Ju said.
"In this way, the real number of my soldiers and horses is no less than 1.5 million?" Xiao Yanjing roughly calculated.
This number is comparable to the horror of Emperor Jingrui's reign.
When Emperor Jingrui was in power, there were only over 500,000 soldiers and horses in Daliang. Unexpectedly, the number of soldiers in Daliang had reached 1.5 million in less than five years.
"That's right."
Zhang Ju nodded again.
"Okay!" Xiao Yanjing said with satisfaction, with these soldiers and horses, the big beams are enough to compete for supremacy in the world.
"Your Majesty, there is one thing I have to say!" Zhang Ju hesitated for a while, as if asking for Xiao Yanjing's meaning.
"Let's talk."
Xiao Yanjing put down the memorial, Zhang Ju is not an outsider, but his brother-in-law.
"Your Majesty, among the soldiers and horses in the northern border, Zhuo Junling, the leader of the Han family in Beiliang City, and Wanyan Lie, the leader of Danyang City, are closely related to Lord Hou, as well as Sun Yu and Qi Zheng in the southern region. They are all masters of Hou Ye. Those who have been promoted."
Zhang Ju didn't say anything more after talking here.
He believed that Xiao Yanjing had already understood what he meant.
These people are Han Ce's people, which means that these soldiers and horses will also obey Han Ce's orders. Now that Han Ce's power is in the hands of the government, adding these soldiers and horses, I am afraid it will be really dangerous.
Xiao Yanjing fell silent.
He didn't rush to answer Zhang Ju's words.
Five years after the reform, I have never doubted Han Ce, but it is undeniable that Han Ce's current authority is indeed a bit high.
"Brother-in-law, you have to be careful!" Zhang Ju said.
Even though Han Ce had no intention of treason, Han Ce held great power, which was still a threat.
"Then what do you mean?"
"Your Majesty, I suggest that the imperial court set up two prime ministers on the left and right! Disperse Han Ce's power." Zhang Ju expressed his proposal.
Now there is only one prime minister in Daliang.
Han Ce is in sole control of power, with one person below ten thousand, and above the court, Han Ce's prestige is sometimes even higher than that of Xiao Yanjing.
The only way to check and balance Han Ce is to separate the rights of the prime minister.
"Um."
Xiao Yan nodded, Zhang Ju's approach is good.
"You and I just need to know about this matter, let me think about it again!" Xiao Yanjing asked Zhang Ju to keep quiet and think about it for himself.
"clear!"
Zhang Ju naturally knew what Xiao Yanjing meant.
It is no small matter to rashly weaken the power of the Prime Minister.
"Brother-in-law, there is one more thing!"
"Can't you finish everything?" Xiao Yanjing said angrily, why Zhang Ju's things always popped up one by one.
"Say it!"
Xiao Yanjing asked Zhang Ju to talk about things.
"Brother-in-law, you should also establish a crown prince!"
Zhang Ju said.
Establish a prince?
Xiao Yanjing frowned and said it was too early.
"That's right, the imperial court can't have a prince!" Zhang Ju suggested, after hearing what Zhang Ju said, Xiao Yanjing seemed to understand what it meant.
Although I and Qi Jiang were the first to get married, the eldest prince was not from Qi Jiang, but from Zhang Ju's sister, Zhang Lihua, Concubine Concubine Zhang.
If according to the order of seniority, the prince is the son of Concubine Li, if according to orthodoxy, counting from the queen, the prince is Qi Jiang's son and also the second prince.
"I know this matter well."
Xiao Yanjing didn't give a correct answer, and said a few words to dismiss Zhang Ju.
Zhang Ju came out of the imperial study, and did not leave the palace directly, but came to the courtyard where Concubine Li lived in the harem.
"Eldest sister!"
"My brother is here!" Seeing Zhang Ju, Zhang Lihua greeted Zhang Ju immediately with a smile. "Did you tell the emperor about the prince?" Zhang Lihua asked eagerly. His main concern now was the prince. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
