Chapter 96: Current Situation (3)

Chapter 96 Current Situations (3)

"Grandpa, and seniors, you also said just now that in the wilderness without cities, we could exchange two for three, or even more. But now, there are Two for two, even more people died. Did grandpa and seniors really think that it was only because of ironware? Could it be that as long as ironware is banned, this situation can be changed, and the Eastern and Western Turkic Khanates will be weakened as a result? ?"

Wang Chong stroked his train of thought, and said to the eyes of the elders in the council hall. In a word, everyone was stunned when he said it. Everyone only thought about the issue of ironware, but didn't think about other deeper things at all.

Just like what Wang Chong said, the prosperity of the Eastern and Western Turkic Khanates is a fait accompli, and this cannot be changed with a few iron tools.

"Chong'er, what exactly do you want to say?"

Even Wang Chong's eldest uncle showed a dignified expression. He is an important minister in the imperial court and has the right to counsel affairs and discuss state affairs, so he is extremely sensitive to such things.

"The nomads on the grasslands must have a great prosperity every hundred years. This is the general trend, and no one can change it. It was the same in the former Qin Dynasty, the same in the Han Dynasty, and the former Sui Dynasty. The same is true in the Tang Dynasty now. Now, it has It’s not about the people of the Eastern and Western Turkic Khanates in the north, but the Uzang Plateau in the west, Goguryeo in the east, and the Erhai Lake in the south.”

"We can't change these nomads and barbaric tribes! The only thing we can change is ourselves! That's why my grandson said that this matter is not in the borderlands, but in the domain, not in the Eastern and Western Turkic Khanates, but in the Tang Dynasty Own."

Wang Chong said seriously. Although he was reborn, Wang Chong couldn't help feeling worried when he thought of the severe surrounding situation that Datang was facing.

After rebirth, only he himself knows how many days and nights he has been unable to sleep.

The people in this meeting hall are all important ministers of one party. Although many of them have retired, their influence in their lives is still there, and their families still have a huge influence in the ruling and opposition parties.

"The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in an ant's nest", the current Tang Dynasty is already in crisis, just waiting for one inducement, it will explode together. Everyone in this meeting hall can discover the Eastern and Western Turkic Khanates in the north, and they have already had a foresight and a glimpse.

But Wang Chong knew that this was not enough, and this was not the fundamental problem at all.

Wang Chong must find a way to alert them, and through them, through this chamber, to influence more people!

"...However, China has been in peace for many years. During the reign of Emperor Taizong, he forced the Eastern and Western Turks to the north of Yinshan Mountain, making many barbarians enclose them, and conquered Annan; Yu Dufu, Annan Dufu, further expanded its influence. At the beginning of the dynasty, it further expanded its influence to the Western Regions and established Anxi Dufu."

"This dynasty has won battles for so many years, making all nations come to the dynasty, and the sphere of influence has never been increased. It not only surpassed the Sui Dynasty, but also far surpassed the Han and Qin, and reached an unprecedented level of prosperity in China! Didn’t you find it? Because of this, the ruling and opposition parties have gradually become self-satisfied.”

Thinking of the current situation in Datang, Wang Chong felt heavy. It is not terrible to have a strong foreign enemy. Whether it is the most powerful Huns or the most powerful Turkic Khanate, they finally surrendered one by one under the horseshoe of the Central Plains Dynasty, but the hearts of the people are scattered, and this is the real problem.

"My grandson once heard a poem: Young people in Yingzhou are tired of the wilderness, and fox fur and down hunt down the city.

A thousand cups of wine is not intoxicating, and Hu'er can ride a horse at the age of ten. "

"When we are pursuing fox fur and brocade clothes, indulging in luxury and pleasure, and taking pride in not drinking a thousand cups, those Turkic Khanates in the north are already training their children, riding horses and archery, and taking pride in killing enemies on the battlefield."

"Turkic is easy to overcome, but people's hearts are hard to subdue. My grandson thinks this is the real problem!!"

When it came to the end, Wang Chong felt extremely heavy in his heart. It's not that Wang Chong flattered the elders just to convince the elders and to show off in front of the elders. It was Wang Chong's personal experience in his previous life.

That frontier poem was what he overheard later when he was living in hardships and wandering alone. Many things can only be seen clearly when it is irreversible!

But by that time, it was already night.

The current Datang is full of luxury and money, and people's hearts have changed. It is no longer the original Datang. It's a pity that many people are in the game and haven't realized this at all.

In the meeting hall, it was quiet and the atmosphere was heavy. All the elders present just wanted to hear what Wang Chong had to say, and to see how this grandson of Jiu Gong could become a blockbuster, but the more they heard about it, the heavier their hearts became. Shi, each of them was even more horrified, as if they were noticing Jiugong's grandson for the first time.

Even the old man in the hall showed a shocked expression.

He let Wang Chong come in and asked questions suddenly. I just want to use this method to test this grandson, to see how good he is, how talented he is, and what kind of position he will be given in the future.

As for the matter of the heir...

From Wang Chong's uncle Wang Gen, to Wang Chong's father Wang Yan, to Wang Chong's elder brother Wang Fu, and cousin Wang Li, he has been disappointed too many times.

To conquer a group of old brothers and subordinates, and gain their recognition, it is not easy to accomplish.

After so many years, he had almost given up hope.

However, what the old man didn't expect was that Wang Chong's performance far exceeded his expectations. This is no longer a question of whether to test or not, or whether you are satisfied.

In this grandson, what is shown has gone far beyond this content.

For the first time, he suddenly saw some hope.

The reactions of everyone in the hall fell into Wang Li's eyes, and his expression suddenly became even uglier.

"Young Master Chong, I want to ask, did you compose the poem just now? Or is it really true?"

In the meeting hall, Ye Lao suddenly asked, his seriousness seemed to be a little special.

Wang Chong's poem, if he made it himself. Then it can only show that Jiu Gongsun'er is very talented. He can think of the prosperity of Tang Dynasty through singing and dancing, and combine the characteristics of Turkic nomadic tribes to write such poems. That kind of talent is beyond doubt.

At his fifteen-year-old age, it was indeed astonishing. It can be regarded as having the demeanor of Jiugong when he was young.

But if not, and such poems really spread in the border areas, then the nature of everything is completely different. That situation is much more serious.

This is no longer a question of Jiu Gongtui not recommending a grandson, but a matter of state affairs.

"true!"

Wang Chong said solemnly. This poem was heard from his personal experience in his previous life, but it was not when he heard it. But it has already existed among the people for a long time.

Even if all the elders present sent people to investigate now, they can still find out now!

As soon as Wang Chong's words fell, the atmosphere in the conference hall suddenly became a little more dignified. Several subordinates of the old man glanced at each other, all of them looked serious.

They weren't worried that Wang Chong was lying, they would find out about such things as soon as they checked. The elders were thinking about other things.

"Jiu Gong, although we have been obsessed with the matter of the Eastern and Western Turkic Khanates for decades, we are not as good as Young Master Chong in terms of vision and knowledge. As Young Master Chong said, the people in the Eastern and Western Turkic Khanates The matter is not in the Eastern and Western Turkic Khanates, but in the court, not in the ironware, but in the hearts of the people, not in the border, but in the territory. This time, His Majesty came to pay his respects, this is what Jiu Gong should tell His Majesty!"

Ye Gong's beard trembled, and he said with a heavy heart.

Wang Chong was only a fifteen-year-old child, while all the elders were over half a hundred years old, each with rich experience and knowledge. But it was also because of this that all the elders knew that what Wang Chong said was true.

Turkic adversity is easy to overcome, but people's hearts are not ancient and irreversible. This is the real problem.

In this regard, even veteran officials like them have nothing to do.

This is why Ye Gong is worried and heavy.

After being confused for many years, no one would have imagined that Jiu Gong, a teenage grandson, would hear such sharp insights that point directly to the heart.

"This matter, wait for your Majesty to come down. I will discuss it with him."

At the head of the meeting hall, the old man nodded, also with a heavy heart. A chat between old brothers and a test of children and grandchildren would turn out like this in the end, which he never expected before.

But compared to this, the grim situation facing the empire is what he is really worried about.

"Congratulations Jiugong, the Wang family has a unicorn!"

"At such a young age, I have such profound insights in military and national affairs. I will definitely become a pillar of the country in the future, and my future is limitless!"

"Master Chong has the demeanor of Jiu Gong back then!"

"Given some time, in the future my Great Tang will definitely produce another important minister of a country!"

"Congratulations Jiu Gong!"

"Congratulations, Young Master Chong!"

………

All the elders in the hall said one after another, it was different from the perfunctory Wang's parents and grandson Wang Li before. This time, all the elders were sincere and looked at Wang Chong sitting in the corner with admiration.

"Come on, young master, sit beside me!"

The "Gong Ye" who was full of murderous aura and extremely strategic vision suddenly waved at Wang Chong. He liked this child more and more.

He has met several of Jiu Gong's direct descendants, and only this child impresses him the most, and even makes him cherish his talents.

If it can be properly cultivated, the future of this child is limitless.

This is not empty words, but his intuition. He, Ye Tong, has a very accurate eye for people, and the ones he likes are never wrong. This one is definitely not wrong.

Wang Chong was surprised by this, and he couldn't help but subconsciously look at the grandfather at the top of the hall.

"Hehe, go, go! Since Ye Tong likes you, you can sit next to him."

The old man sat upright, waved his hand and smiled.

He was upright and honest all his life, and rarely smiled. But today I am really happy.

"Yes, grandpa!"

With his grandfather's approval, Wang Chong nodded and moved the seat beside "Gong Ye".

The old man's other subordinates don't know yet, but there is no doubt that his performance just now has won the approval of the "Old Ye" under his grandfather's command!
