Chapter 36 It’s better to raise pigs! (Ch 36)

【For those countries that did not come to pay tribute. 】
【Chen Huaixin did not immediately send troops to cause trouble for them.】
【now.】
【The Yu Kingdom is engaged in large-scale construction. 】
【Money and food are needed everywhere.】
[If it weren’t for the lack of manpower. ]
[He didn’t even plan to send soldiers to Jiaozhi to capture the barbarians! ]
【”but.”】
【“We can send personnel to those countries first.”】
[“Intensify conflicts, stir up confrontation, and support rebellion!”]
[“You can even sell some badly worn and outdated weapons to your opponents!”]
[“If everyone has a gun, it won’t be chaotic!”]
【Chen Huaixin thought in his heart.】
【As for the prime minister’s question about how to deal with the small countries that were driven out of Chang’an by the envoys.】
[He replied calmly: “Don’t worry, give them a chance to make up for it. If they double the tribute, that’s fine, but if they remain indifferent or do the same as this time, let the Ministry of War record their names as well.”]
【Chen Huaixin is still very kind.】
[The Prime Minister nodded.]
He did not think there was anything wrong with being belligerent.
【Being neglected and ignored but not daring to fight back. 】
[That’s really laughable! ]
In the Golden Palace.
Look at the way Chen Huaixin treats his vassal states.
Many military officers’ eyes lit up because this method was very much to their liking.
However, some civil servants were full of disdain and seemed very dissatisfied with Chen Huaixin’s approach!
“This boy doesn’t have the courage and dignity of a ruler of a great country!”
“Even if it is the future Yu Kingdom, after occupying my Chengguo land, it will become a central country with vast land and abundant resources! For the tributes from foreign vassals, we should give more gifts in return, instead of being stingy and sending them away with just a few melons and dates! Doing so will only shock friendly countries and make the vassal countries feel disappointed!”
“And the foreign vassal states don’t have many good things to offer. The tribute they send may have already taken the whole country’s efforts. As the ruler of a big country, you should be tolerant. How can you just drive them out of Chang’an City?”
“As for the country that failed to pay tribute, perhaps there were other reasons, or they didn’t know that Yu Country had changed its master, so how could they directly plan to send troops to attack it?”
“A country may be great, but it will perish if it loves war! This kid doesn’t even understand this truth, it’s really laughable!”
“…”
These civil servants spoke one after another, finding reasons and excuses for the foreign vassal states, so that they could continue to accuse Chen Huaixin.
And among them.
Except for the chief academic officer of the Imperial College.
The most fierce one was the Secretary of the Honglu Temple.
Of course, he could see that Chen Huaixin was now highly valued by His Majesty. After the deduction was completed, he would most likely be recruited into the palace and given important tasks. However, Chen Huaixin’s treatment of foreign envoys still made him very angry!
“Now when my Honglu Temple receives foreign envoys, we treat them with great care and dare not neglect them in the slightest.”
“And Chen Huaixin not only despises them, he also intends to punish them because the tribute is not generous enough!”
“If Your Majesty approves of Chen Huaixin’s approach and thinks that he is right to do so, then how should I deal with it?”
The Minister of Honglu Temple thought so in his heart.
He now suddenly understood why Jijiu would resolutely boycott and resist Chen Huaixin just because Chen Huaixin established a school to promote education!
Because their positions are on opposite sides!
And it also affects the foundation of one’s life!
Just like him now, when he got used to this attitude towards foreign vassals, and even His Majesty didn’t notice anything wrong, he naturally believed in it as a principle and a guideline!
But when someone suddenly adopted a completely different attitude towards the envoy who came from afar, his first reaction would not be to judge which method was better or whose method was right or wrong, but to feel deeply rejected!
“Although the foreign vassal states are slightly weaker.”
“But it is so high and so far away that it is difficult to control!”
“If they unite to harass and provoke the future Yu Kingdom, the people of Yu Kingdom will surely be plunged into dire straits!”
The Minister of Hongluo looked at Ji Qingluo and spoke sincerely.
He hoped that Ji Qingluo would not be misled by Chen Huaixin’s approach, and should continue to maintain Chengguo’s existing methods. After all, this was the ancestral law and could not be easily changed!
only.
Ji Qingluo was indifferent to his words.
As for the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Rites, they didn’t even look at him!
Although both of them did not approve of Chen Huaixin’s approach, they knew the temperament of the current emperor better!
In the past, Chengguo adopted such an approach to treat foreign vassals because they were powerful and Chengguo was facing internal and external troubles. But now that Your Majesty has come to the throne, his character is inherently tough, and he has not paid attention to the matter of the Honglu Temple receiving foreign vassals, otherwise he would have changed this ancestral law long ago!
She was the type of person who would fight to the death even if she couldn’t win. Even if the national treasury was empty, she would not easily choose to be tolerant and retreat. So how could she be so cautious about foreign affairs, fearing that her allies would be shocked? !
“Let’s not talk about the fact that Chen Huaixin must be valued by His Majesty. His stubborn resistance will only cause more trouble.”
“It’s just that he doesn’t even fully understand your Majesty’s character!”
“This Honglu Temple Secretary…it’s time to replace him!”
The Minister of Rites and the Minister of Honglu Temple had similar ideas at this time.
After seeing that Prime Minister Wang Qianhe recognized Chen Huaixin, they naturally put down their psychological burden and no longer resisted and opposed Chen Huaixin.
after all.
They were not the ones who rigged the imperial examination!
Chen Huaixin hated the aristocratic families and the powerful people of the dynasty so much only after he was forced to leave Chang’an City. But now that he knows his future, Chen Huaixin will no longer be forced to leave Chang’an City, and these powerful people don’t have to worry about the predicted future!
So why do they continue to oppose it?
“Those who are still resisting now.”
“Except for those who are not in their right minds.”
“The only one left is the one who tampered with the exam.”
“Because… they have no way out!”
The Minister of Rites thought to himself.
He ignored the gaze from the Minister of the Ministry of Rites seeking support, and instead directly expressed his attitude and stood on Chen Huaixin’s side, believing that the current Chengguo could adopt the same approach to treat foreign vassals.
“otherwise.”
“Every time, a large amount of gifts are given in return.”
“I don’t know whether the foreign vassal is here to pay tribute or to purchase goods from my country!”
The Minister of Rites suggested this.
Suddenly.
Those ministers who were still hesitating in their hearts looked at him in astonishment, as if they had not expected that even the Minister of Rites would approve of Chen Huaixin!
The Minister of the Honglu Temple looked at him with betrayed eyes, as if he didn’t understand why he no longer adhered to the ancestral law. How could this change? !
This made the Minister of Rites secretly blame this man for having a pig brain, and a trace of dissatisfaction arose in his heart.
When Ji Qingluo agreed to his suggestion, he withdrew from the crowd of ministers and found that the Minister of Honglu Temple and some ministers still looked dazed.
He couldn’t help thinking in his heart: “They don’t know how to adapt and judge the situation! Some people would rather raise pigs than be officials!”
