Through Yitian: Mingzun Zhang Wuji

Chapter 592: Husband says husband is right, mother-in-law says mother-in-law is right

After saying that, Zhang Wuji hugged Zhao Min, slowly walked off the throne, and left through the side door.

And the servants in the palace also stepped forward and said: "My lords, please come!"

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Shicheng sneered disdainfully, but seeing Zhang Wuji's indulging in womanizing and ignoring business, the two of them felt rebellious.

Then the two of them looked at each other and understood.

Lu Chang was a little confused, what he was about to say.Liu Bowen winked at him and shook his head.Then the two of them followed the chambermaid out of the hall.

As for Fang Guozhen, it doesn't matter, he is just a wallflower.Anyway, he has status on both sides. If Zhang Wuji fails, it will not be too late for him to seek refuge with the Yuan Dynasty.

Only Chen Youding and Liu Futong were left in the palace.

Although Chen Youding was not very familiar with Liu Futong, he also respected Liu Futong as a person.

Chen Youding came to Liu Futong and asked: "Master Liu, I have heard that the emperor is a wise king, why are you so obsessed with women now?"

Regarding Zhang Wuji's performance today, Liu Futong was also confused by Zhang Er Monk. Although Zhang Wuji was surrounded by beauties, he had never neglected his business because of women.But today is very abnormal.

However, Liu Futong never trusted these "allies", so he prevaricated and said: "Then Princess Zhao is as beautiful as a fairy, and my great emperor is upright and young, so he naturally cherishes beauties. If General Chen has anything to say, it won't be too late to wait for the emperor to summon him tomorrow."

Chen Youding wanted to say something else, but then he swallowed it.After bidding farewell to Liu Futong, he turned around and left the palace with his chamberlain.

Liu Futong looked back at the Jinluan throne. Although he was a little confused, he trusted Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min very much.If Zhang Wuji just wanted to have fun, he could completely accept the Mongolian conditions.There is no need to hold on until now.He felt that Zhang Wuji had his own reasons for doing this.

Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min returned to the harem.

As soon as Zhang Wuji entered the door, he asked: "What's wrong Minmin? Do you have anything to say?"

Zhao Min sat in front of the dressing mirror in the bedroom, and while asking the maids to remove her makeup, she said: "We will meet with my teacher later. We agree to their conditions."

Zhang Wuji shook his head when he heard this and said: "No, Minmin, I can promise you anything, but not this matter. If I agree to Meng Yuan's conditions, then Meng Yuan's main force is not destroyed, and they can fight back at any time. In this way, our world will not be stable. They left the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, presumably for future counterattacks."

Zhao Min said while taking off her makeup: "I know this. My brother Wuji is good at everything, but he is a bit too upright when it comes to big things. Even if we make a covenant now, we don't have to admit it in the future. If we can take this opportunity , isn’t it more cost-effective to regain a large territory with just a few words than fighting a war?”

Zhang Wuji couldn't help but laugh out loud after hearing what Zhao Min said.He said: "Minmin, you are taking this matter too seriously. How can you break this kind of promise? This will have a great impact on Mingzun's prestige. I may be the second Genghis Khan. If you break your promise at will, how can you convince the public in the future?"

Zhang Wuji also considered the policy of "saving the country through curves", first accepting the conditions offered by the Mongols, and then accepting all the Han territories after the Mongolian Yuan withdrew from the Central Plains at the minimum cost, and then going straight to Huanglong to rebel against the Mongolian Yuan.

But if you do this, there are two far-reaching disadvantages.The first disadvantage is that it gives the Mongols spare power to invade him again.

Because if they did not accept the Mongolian conditions, then the Mongolians would not be determined to abandon the Han lands.Then their power will spread throughout the entire Han Dynasty, and it will be easier to eliminate this loose sand.

But if the Mongols abandon their land and leave without fighting, it will have a huge blow to the morale of the entire Mongolian court.You may even become timid before fighting in the future.It accelerated the disintegration of the Mongolian tribes and completely weakened the prestige of Emperor Yuan, the "Mongol Khan".The Mongolian tribes may even split again.

But if they accept this condition, the Mongols can reasonably retreat without affecting their morale and return to the grassland to recuperate.This move is like clenching an outstretched hand into a fist.

Maybe this fist will drop to his face at some point.Maybe nothing will happen to him during the decades he is alive, but if he dies in the future, he will leave a hidden danger and a mess to future generations.Therefore, Zhang Wuji would rather spend a lot of money on the Northern Expedition than accept the food that came from him.

The second disadvantage is the issue of "credibility".

Zhang Wuji learned the lessons of Soochow's "crossing the river in white clothes" and Sima Yi's "Oath of the Luo River".

Soochow and Shu Han were allies back then. Originally, after the Xiangshui Alliance, the disputes in Jingzhou had been completely resolved.However, Sun Wu took advantage of Guan Yu's Northern Expedition and used the strategy of crossing the river in white clothes to sneak attack against the alliance.

This caused Soochow to lose all its credibility in the future and lose the hearts of the world.

The same is true for Sima Yi's Luoshui Alliance Oath.

If he does the same thing, he will not be able to overwhelm those small countries in the Western Region in the future.After all, the emperor's words don't count, forget it.Everything depends on your mood.This will make everyone panic.In the long run, this will do more harm than good.

I can seize the world through the Northern Expedition, so why bother?

After Zhao Min took off her headdress, she looked back at Zhang Wuji and said: "My brother Wuji is now a bit pedantic. I don't want this free advantage. Back then, we Mongols also tore up the alliance with the Southern Song Dynasty and invaded south. Song Dynasty. In the end, the Yuan Dynasty was established. The covenant is just a piece of waste paper, don’t take it too seriously. We have to see what benefits we can get from the covenant."

"Back then, our Han people's Emperor Gaozu made a covenant with the Xiongnu on Baishan Mountain to 'pay tribute every year'. After that, the Han Dynasty began to hide its power and bide its time, even marrying a princess. During the Wenjing Dynasty, he endured humiliation and heavy burdens for many years, and finally defeated the Xiongnu and sealed the wolf during the reign of Emperor Wu. Juxu."

"Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and Jieli Khan of Tule also had an alliance on the Weishui River. But what happened in the end? The military gods of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing and Li Ji, led their troops to annihilate the Eighteen Tribes of the Grassland, and defeated Jieli Khan, the Great Khan of Tule. Li Jie came to Chang'an and danced in the streets."

"These are all things that your Han heroes have done. They are all emperors who will go down in history. Especially Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. He was the first person to be known as the 'Khan of Heaven'. Since Brother Wuji I also want to be the 'Khan of Heaven'. If they can betray the alliance, then we can also betray the alliance."

"After all, history books are written by the victors. As long as we win, we can completely ignore these small details."

When Zhao Min said this, she smiled and said: "Brother Wuji, don't forget that we Mongolians are 'barbarians.' In the words of you Han people, we are 'awe of power but not moral.' What you need to defeat the Mongols is A strong military. Not 'credibility'."
