Chapter 303 Murong Xueer’s invitation

Agriculture is developing in an orderly manner, and industry is gradually showing some signs. Now Dayucheng has almost become an industrial city.

After the arrival of the train, the connection between Dayucheng and Yancheng has become much closer, and some people in Dayucheng are finally willing to come to Yancheng. In this way, the development speed of Yancheng has been accelerated again.

At this time, Lu Chen said, "Okay, that's it for agricultural matters. Does anyone else have anything else to do?"

At this time, Mu Changtian stood up and said: "Your Majesty, now that King Zhao has launched a war against King Ren, we may have to prepare early."

The civil war in Daxia had begun a month ago. King Zhao took the lead in sending troops to attack King Ren. Before King Ren could react, most of the fiefdom had been occupied by King Zhao.

This war was a bit strange. There was no obstruction from the court and they were allowed to fight on their own. King Ren was so angry that he went to win over King Huai and wanted to destroy Zhao.

Once a war starts, it is not easy to stop.

King Zhao suddenly led his troops to attack King Ren. It is very likely that the princes could no longer bear it and wanted to directly decide the winner and compete for the throne.

Most of the princes have established contact with the feudal king. The feudal king's impulsiveness also means that the struggle between the prince and the prince has reached the point of life and death.

Mu Changtian felt that if the Northern King wanted to compete for that position, he must seize the time, go south as soon as possible, sit on the supreme position as soon as possible, and then quell the civil strife.

For now, only the Northern Kingdom has the strength to suppress other vassal kings in Daxia.

If the feudal kings were allowed to continue fighting, Daxia would probably be beaten to pieces by them, which would not be a good thing for the Northern King.

If he goes south later and waits for the Northern King to become emperor, he may face nothing but a mess.

Daxia has been destroyed. Rebuilding Daxia will take more time and energy. The Northern King's ambition is to destroy other dynasties and establish a unified dynasty. If time and energy are wasted on rebuilding Daxia, then what will happen to Daxia? The King of the North wants to realize his ambition in the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.

Of course, this is just Mu Changtian's idea.

Lu Chen said at this time: "They can fight if they like. As long as the imperial army is still in Qi State and has not been mobilized, we will continue to watch the show."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Li Rui said: "Your Majesty, the situation in the capital is getting more and more serious now. If the princes continue to fight, Daxia may be in danger of splitting."

"Once Daxia is divided, it will be a little difficult to unify it again in the future."

At this time, Lu Chen turned to look at Zhuge Chongguang, who was sitting in the front row of the hall.

"What does the Grand Maester think?"

Zhuge Chongguang said: "I think it is not appropriate to mobilize troops in the Northern Kingdom for the time being, but after all, the prince is your majesty's child and the vassal king of Daxia. He has the obligation to step forward when Daxia faces a crisis."

"So the veteran believes that the prince must speak out to the court and the vassal princes from all over the Xia Dynasty. Only when the prince publicly speaks out and expresses his position publicly, can the vassal princes in various places calm down."

For now, no matter how the vassal kings in Daxia expand their troops, their military strength cannot be as strong as that of the Northern Kingdom. Once the Northern King stands up and says a few words of intimidation, some vassal kings will naturally become more honest.

Lu Chen thought for a while and felt that it made sense. Then he said, "I will write a memorial and send it to the court later."

"Do you have anything else to do?"

At this time, Liang Zong stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the activities of spies from major dynasties in the Northern Kingdom are becoming more and more frequent. I believe that the current number of Jin Yiwei can no longer satisfy the surveillance of spies from various countries, so I suggest that we continue to expand the number of Jin Yiwei. .”

Hearing this, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment. If there were only a small number of Jinyi Guards, Liang Zong and Qin Yushan had the right to increase it themselves without reporting.

If Liang Zong takes the initiative to propose the increase, it proves that Liang Zong wants to expand the number of students this time. Only when the number of students expanded exceeds a certain level does he need to take the initiative to report.

After Lu Chen came to his senses, he asked, "How many people do Jinyiwei plan to recruit?"

Liang Zong replied: "According to my estimate, Jin Yiwei will need to recruit at least 10,000 people."

Hearing Liang Zong's words, some ministers in the hall suddenly turned dark.

Although the current Jin Yiwei has not had any conflicts with the ministers of the Northern Kingdom, everyone knows that the Jin Yiwei is the dog beside the Northern King, and their every move is under the supervision of the Northern King.

There are already enough Jin Yiwei, but now they have to recruit an additional 10,000 people. In the future, the King of Gongbei may not even know when they come out.

There is still no problem with the loyalty of the ministers to the Northern King, but loyalty is loyalty, which does not mean that they do not have other small thoughts, and they are always being watched when doing things, and they feel uncomfortable.

After hearing Liang Zong's words, Lu Chen thought for a moment. Now that Tingyulou has been discovered by the major dynasties to be a force in the Northern Palace, it is indeed not as easy as before for Tingyulou to get information.

Instead of leaving professional matters to professionals, it is better to transfer all the intelligence channels of Tingyu Tower to Jinyiwei and let Jinyiwei go to major dynasties to collect intelligence.

If Jin Yiwei is released, then the recruitment expansion of 10,000 people is indeed not too much.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen said: "That's right."

Seeing that Lu Chen agreed, some ministers in the hall felt a little depressed, but they did not dare to say anything more.

Jinyiwei is King Bei's dog, and it depends on the owner to beat the dog. If they attack Bei King's dog, it means they have other thoughts.

Lu Chen said to Liang Zong at this time: "When recruiting Jinyi Guard soldiers, try to use people from Dayu City."

Liang Zong said: "Yes, I understand."

The people of Dayu City are extremely loyal to King Bei, so it is most suitable for them to be Jin Yiwei. What Jin Yiwei needs most is loyalty.

Lu Chen glanced at the hall again at this time. When he saw that no one came forward, he said, "If there is nothing else, let's stop here today."

After the words fell, Lu Chen stood up and shook his sleeves, and then left the political hall directly.

As soon as Lu Chen arrived at the door of the study room, a female guard from the palace hurriedly came to Lu Chen and said, "Meet the prince!"

Lu Chen asked: "What's the matter?"

The female guard replied: "Dayue's envoy has sent an invitation, inviting you to attend the poetry meeting held in Baihua Building three days later."

Having said this, the female guard handed the invitation in her hand to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen took the invitation from the female guard, glanced at it, and then raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

The person who invited him to the poetry meeting was Murong Xueer. It seemed that the Dayue Dynasty couldn't wait any longer and wanted Murong Xueer to get close to him as soon as possible and inquire about the secrets of the Northern Palace.

The female guard continued at this time: "The messenger sent by the Dayue envoy is still waiting for your reply at the gate of the palace. Your Majesty, do you plan to participate in this poetry meeting?"

Lu Chen said directly: "Go and tell the person who sent the letter that I will definitely attend the poetry meeting organized by Miss Murong in three days."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"My subordinates resign."

Watching the female guard leave, Lu Chen thought in his mind that since Murong Xueer was going to come to the door himself, there was no need for him to continue hanging her.

Ten thousand days of recovery tomorrow
