Chapter 699: No courtesy, no tribute, no marriage

"The King of Shu is dead."
Xiao Ming closed the memorial sent by Di Ying.
He got the news one month after Xiao Zhen led 20,000 people into Shu.
Because of this, Fiji and Pang Yukun both went to the Yushufang to discuss the matter.
"Unexpectedly, the old official didn't expect this king of Shu to return." Pang Yukun said.
Fiji said: "This last moment of Xiao Zhen's righteous extermination is a high move, which not only made the emperor admire him, but also won the favor of the Yizhou family."
"But these three princes are also cruel enough, this is his brother." Pang Yukun said seemingly inadvertently.
Xiao Ming glanced at him, and Pang Yukun was just reminding him that the third prince was a cruel person, and asked him to beware.
"I understand what you mean, so I am going to make an order to withdraw the name of the kingdom of Shu, and make the Kingdom of Shu a government. The army of the Kingdom of Shu will be commanded by Di Ying for the time being, so the three princes are toothless tigers. , If he has any unusual behavior, I can end him at any time." Xiao Ming said.
Pang Yukun nodded, "The most taboo thing about the prince is the grasp of military and political power. Now we only need to control the army to control the land."
"In addition, we will send some more loyal officials over, so that the land of Shu is no different from the land of Wei, and the three princes in the land of Shu are no more than exile," Fiji said.
Xiao Ming nodded, he naturally had no pity for the three princes, no one would be pitiful and pitiful.
He didn't kill him, just because he won the Shu land without a sword. This is a great achievement, which is enough for him to continue to enjoy the glory and wealth, but it is impossible to continue to enter the political center of the great Yu country.
After talking about the three princes, Xiao Ming led the two to the map. In addition to discussing the establishment of Yizhou Mansion, he also sought out the two for the barbarians.
During this period of time, the memorials at the frontier pass were one after another, and the contents of the memorials were much the same, and they were all news of the barbarians at the border.
It's just that both Shanhaiguan and Juyongguan were guarded to death, and the barbarians seemed to have a headache. They often drove the slave soldiers to retreat after a wave of attacks.
However, this situation still caused anxiety among the ruling party and the opposition, and even the talk of marriage came out, which made Xiao Ming very angry.
The two looked at a few circles on the map. These were all places that were tentatively attacked by the barbarians recently, and they were all important checkpoints on the Great Wall.
"The emperor, now there are some heinous remarks about the barbarians in the court. Some officials have weak kneecaps. Some want to be ministers, some want to pay tribute, and some want to get married. It's ridiculous." Pang Yukun sneered.
Fiji said, "When the first emperor was here, he always blamed himself for compromising with the barbarians. If he did not let the barbarians enter the customs, it would not let the great Yu country decline to this point. The emperor is the master of ambition and roughness. The young people in the hall, the old officials think that the barbarians are not greedy enough, and only if they are defeated will they take away their claws."
"When you say this, I feel relieved. As the saying goes, the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked. If you have the same idea with them, this court will be over."
After a pause, he said to the two of them; "Go back and tell them that our three principles will not change. Don't be a minister, don't pay tribute, or make a relationship. Whoever wants to be a minister should take off his official uniform and go to the barbarian. As a courtier, I will not stop him. Those who want to pay tribute will take their silver to give to the barbarians. I will not stop them. As for those who want to make peace, let them send their own daughters. Who dares to send them? A fake, I chopped off his head."
"Hahaha..." Pang Yukun laughed, "The emperor, if this is the case, I am afraid that none of the ministers would dare to agree. The generosity of this country is easy, but the generosity of oneself is not so easy."
Fiji nodded, "After I go back, I will tell them what the emperor said."
Xiao Ming shook his head. Some people can't stand up because of the habit of kneeling. If you ask him to stand up, he will scold you.
Now there are such a group of people in the courtroom. He has asked Qian Dafu to write down the names of these people, and plans to check whether these people are corrupt in the future.
According to convention, people who like to kneel tend to be greedy for money and lust.
However, Xiao Ming didn't let the two of them look at the map for the barbarians. Now, relying on the Guanai barbarians on the front line of Yanyun, there is no way to enter the northern hinterland for a while.
The purpose of both of them is for Korea.
So he said, "I won't mention this barbarian matter for the time being. Today I want to talk to you about Korea. I think it's time to clean up Korea."
"Fighting again? The emperor, now there is really no money to fight, not to mention that this Goryeo is far from the country of Da Yu, which will surely stimulate the people again." Pang Yukun directly cried poorly.
Fiji echoes the road; "The emperor, Pang Shoufu is telling the truth, the treasury is just a little bit of silver, and the emperor has set aside six million to support industry. On weekdays, he has to open mines, build schools, and build roads. I cannot make ends meet."
Xiao Ming also understands the current situation. He said to the two of them: "That's why I want to fight against Goryeo. Naturally, fighting in China is getting poorer and poorer. However, it is a cost-effective business to fight against Korea. Little silver, now I also want to ask Korea to offer some silver to the country of Da Yu."
After a pause, he continued: "Furthermore, the fight against Goryeo is also for the merchants to sell goods, and at the same time to cut off the arms of the barbarians."
Both of them are smart people.
Pang Yukun said: "The emperor, in this case, let the merchants pay for the materials and expenses for this attack on Goryeo~EbookFREE.me~ Now Fiji and Pang Yukun are surprisingly the same. He said: "Since the attack on Goryeo is for goods Selling, this war was fought for merchants. It is impossible for them to make money. It is better to sell the Korean trade to these merchants in exchange for materials and money. "
Xiao Ming nodded slightly. This was his purpose for finding the two of them. He said, "This is also my idea, so you go to talk with the merchants and let the merchants use money to buy the rights to trade in Korea, how about?"
"Yes, the emperor." The two bowed in response.
The solution to the problem of funding is the problem of attacking Goryeo. For Xiao Ming, the best way to fight is of course to fend off the enemy outside the country.
It's better to smash other people's home than to smash your own. This time he attacked Korea and caused trouble.
And it would be even better if the barbarians changed their strategy because of this, so the pressure on Yanyun's frontline would be much less.
The three people agreed on this matter, and Xiao Ming sent a letter to Yue Yun at this time, asking him to prepare. The main force in the attack on Korea this time was the Navy and Marine Corps.
