Chapter 51 The winner is the king (Part 1)

Duan Hong, the Minister of War, immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I also think what Lord Jian said makes sense. The Eastern Turks have always been ambitions, but now they are connected with our dynasty, there must be deceptions. I think that the Eastern Turks may have wanted to ambush their Turkic wolf soldiers deep in the heart of our Central Plains under the guise of Lianzong, and suddenly attack when our dynasty is unprepared. At that time, my great Wu will definitely suffer from the disaster and have to be careful."

I slowly closed my eyes and thought about what these two people said. At first glance, they didn't understand the strangeness, so they didn't think about it in a comprehensive way. But just this made me think. Will the Eastern Turks really make a big fight just for a beautiful princess? Will the Eastern Turks really be a donkey in heat? Could it be that guy, like me, would he use his tricks on the surface, and on the surface he would show that he would never give up with Japan, but his secret purpose was the property of my Great Wu Dynasty. He wanted to rob the heartland of the Central Plains of my Great Wu Dynasty, and he had to be prepared for this matter.

"Tao Qian, you are the Minister of Rites and are in charge of diplomacy. Tell me what the Eastern Turks are going to be." I turned my eyes to the old fox Tao Qian. The reason why I asked Tao Qian was because Tao Qian knew much more clearly about this matter than other ministers.

Tao Qian was named by me and had to stand up and say, "If the Eastern Turks were indeed suspected of being bad. From the letter of the country, it can be seen that the Eastern Turks Khan was furious for Princess Xiuli, but there may be mystery. Throughout history, only a very small number of foolish monarchs would be angry and beauties. In the eyes of the old minister, the Eastern Turks Khan was not a fool. In addition, Princess Xiuli did not belong to the Turks Khan, but was a man from my great Wu. The old minister looked at it and found that there was indeed a problem. Even the culprit, Goryeo, might not escape the suspicion of conspiracy."

"Okay said it." I hit my palms, then stood up, and said loudly: "Tao Aiqing has also seen this section. In fact, I have long suspected that all this was the conspiracy of Goryeo."

"Your Majesty, I wish to hear it carefully." Jian Lingtai raised his sword eyebrows, and his bright eyes seemed to have a flash of light, and he arched at me.

I waved my hand and said loudly: "I'll discuss this matter now. Do you have any other things to report to me?"

"I have reported to the emperor, and I have to report if I have something to do." Xu Liang, the Minister of Works, made a step forward and bowed: "I have followed the imperial edict and selected the place to build a code and a shipyard in the suburbs of Beijing. Now I have chosen the place. Please give me instructions."

I took the note handed over by Xiao Duozi, looked at it briefly and said, "Well, let's do what you said. However, I ordered you to advance the construction period three months. You must be able to start production immediately after the battleship is designed."

Xu Liang thought for a moment and bowed: "I should live up to the holy grace and start to be put into production of warships in July."

I nodded with satisfaction. During this period, Xu Liang was afraid that he was the busiest person, and all kinds of things were connected with him. Thinking of this, I waved my hand and said, "Xu Aiqing, I know you are busy recently. If you don't have any important things to report, you won't be able to go to court."

"I received the order." Xu Liang bowed and retreated.

Seeing this, I winked at Xiao Duozi. Xiao Duozi understood and quickly stepped forward, shook the Buddha Chen in his hand and said, "Retreat the court, all officials will kneel down."

"Long live my emperor." The ministers knew that I had no intention of going to the morning court, so they had to kneel down.

I stepped out of the Golden Palace amidst the harmony. As soon as I returned to the Zhonghe Palace, I ordered Xiaoduozi: "Xiaoduozi, go and invite Jian Lingtai, Tao Qian, and Duan Hong to the Nan Study. I said that I have something important to discuss."

Xiao Duozi knelt on one leg and said, "I obey the order." After saying that, he immediately retreated out of the hall.

And I rode straight on the dragon chariot and walked all the way to the Nan Study Room. When the little eunuch who was attending me saw me, he brewed a pot of top-quality Dahong Pao according to my habits.

I lay on the chair of the Grand Master, slowly savoring the bitter and long aftertaste of Dahong Pao. I slowly closed my eyes and thought to myself, "This matter is really confusing, and I should make a long-term plan. Don't just look at the mastermind behind the scenes."

While I was thinking about it, Xiao Duozi led Tao Qian, Jian Lingtai, and Duan Hong to the Nan Study Room.

"I'm going to see the emperor." The ministers knelt down and said.

"Get up." I waved my hand lightly: "This place is not as good as the court, and there is no need for too much etiquette. Give it a seat."

After all the ministers thanked him for the seat, Jian Lingtai was young and energetic. He was the first to hold his fist and said, "In the court, the emperor seemed to want to speak but stopped. Is this time summoning ministers and others for the sake of the Eastern Turks?"

I laughed and looked at Jane Lingtai and said, "Those who know me are Jane Eyre. Let's have tea, let's talk about this matter later."

Jian Lingtai's face turned red, knowing that I was criticizing him, he couldn't hold back his anger. He smiled awkwardly, picked up the tea handed over by the eunuch, and drank it to cover up the embarrassment.

After tasting some tea, the four kings and ministers, I slowly explained the guesses in my heart one by one.

During this period, I paid attention to the reactions of the three ministers. Jian Lingtai's expression was a little surprised at first, and then his eyes were bright and murderous intent flashed. However, Duan Hong gradually changed from the dullness to the solemnity between his eyebrows, and seemed to feel that the situation was serious. Finally, it was Tao Qian, who deserved to be an old fox, and his face did not change at all from beginning to end. I could not see anything from his face.

I took all my eyes back and turned to Jane Lingtai and said, "Jane Eyre, tell me what you think."

Jian Lingtai was so cautious this time that he frowned: "Your Majesty, your analysis is very reasonable. From the perspective of the empress, he is inseparable from the tenth. However, one problem is involved, that is, the attitude of the Eastern Turks. The intentions shown by the Eastern Turks are more enthusiastic than those of the Great Wu and the Goryeo families. In this way, it has to make people suspicious."

"I also agree with Lord Jian's opinion." Duan Hong frowned and said, "Now it is like a piece of fat in front of my Dawu's mouth, but whether this piece of fat is really fat or a piece of bait must be carefully considered. If my Dawu Dynasty could really take over the land and seas of Japan, it would be like a dragon and would be prosperous from then on. But if it was a bait, I was afraid that my Dawu Dynasty would definitely suffer a great loss."

"Both my dear friends, both of them have a good analysis." I nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Tao Qian again, and said softly: "Tao Aiqing, please tell me your opinion."

Tao Qian slowly stood up and said calmly: "This matter is indeed very suspicious. But our analysis before, simply stayed in the country of Goryeo. The old minister believed that we must expand the scope of doubt."

All three of us were stunned and looked at each other, because according to Tao Qian's statement, even Goryeo was just a chess piece. If so, this matter would be unparalleled.

"Tao Aiqing, let's be more specific." I looked at him with a serious expression.

The other two ministers also looked embarrassed. Jian Lingtai, as the head of the Ministry of War, was carrying strategic arrangements. Duan Hong was even more serious, as the Minister of War, who was in charge of the world's war. Now the analysis of the two has been pushed into a dead end. How can his face look good?

"Mr. Duan, Lord Jian. The reason why you guessed wrong is that you don't understand the Eastern Turkic Khan. This person's surname is careless on the surface, but his mind is delicate and his abacus is very good. As the Minister of Rites, I have had a lot of interactions with the Eastern Turkic Khan, so I naturally know his surname. The two of them don't know that the Eastern Turkic Khan are human beings, so there is no wonder, so don't worry." As Tao Qian said this, their faces suddenly looked bad, and they showed a little grateful to Tao Qian. Tao Qian continued: "What the two masters said just now also makes sense. The attitude shown by the Eastern Turkic Khan really makes people feel strange. According to the emperor's previous analysis, the King of Goryeo suddenly got a military advisor, which made him have such ambition. The key lies in the military advisor."

As soon as he said this, my eyes lit up: "As Tao Aiqing said, the military advisor is the real behind-the-scenes controller, deliberately sent to the King of Goryeo to instigate this matter, and then form the current situation?"

Jian Lingtai also looked dazed and said with a high-high high: "It makes sense, the military advisor is really suspicious. The biggest suspect now is the Eastern Turks? Otherwise, the Eastern Turks would not need to make such a eager reaction. Could it be that the Eastern Turks really have plans to plot against our Great Wu?"

"No, no." I wondered again: "If the Eastern Turks were the mastermind behind the scenes and showed it in such an artificial attitude, wouldn't it be a self-inflicted? It's like telling me that he is the mastermind behind the scenes."

Jian Ling Tailang said, "It is difficult for the Emperor to guarantee that the Eastern Turks will not spread the fog, but will go against the way. It is so charming to reveal their whereabouts."

Duan Hong also sighed lightly, "This matter is really confusing."

The three of them could not confirm at all, so they had to turn their attention to Tao Qian.

Tao Qian's old face remained unchanged and coughed slightly, "As the emperor said, the Eastern Turks should not be the mastermind. The Eastern Turks are nomadic people and do not have much attachment to the land. Once this plan is implemented, the chances of the Eastern Turks being able to get benefits are too small. In the eyes of the old minister, the mastermind behind this matter is afraid that the country must be the one who is right or wrong."

"Wa?" We suddenly showed an unbelievable look, and looked at each other in confusion.
