Wanyan Wushu, who was reading the newspaper, sat unceremoniously on Qin Hui's couch. He raised his head when he heard the noise, and his beardless white face faced Qin Hui under the light.

"Of course the official has seen it."

Facing Wanyan Wushu, who was becoming more and more imposing, Qin Hui carefully raised his hand, and then calmly but somewhat cautiously sat on a horse on the opposite side of his bed.

"What did Qin Xianggong think?" Wu Shu put down his newspaper and asked seriously.

"The official thinks that although the official in the south is a heroic leader, he is a little too anxious. This time, many things are actually a bit cunning and not like what a wise king would do..." Qin Hui looked sincere.

"What is a trick?" Wu Shu continued to ask seriously.

"The so-called deception means taking shortcuts through deceit." Qin Huizhi was still sincere.

"Is this a trick?" Wu Shu pointed at the bedside table with his finger, but still couldn't follow up.

"Of course it is." Qin Huizhi insisted. "For the sake of 30 million guan, you will do whatever you can. How can it not be a trick?"

Wu Shu frowned slightly but said nothing.

And probably seeing what Wu Shu was thinking, the Qin Prime Minister took the initiative to explain: "However, these things in the Di newspaper are only deception to the Zhao Guan family, because after all, he is the emperor of a great country, commanding hundreds of millions.

For the people, if it is done by others, it cannot be considered a treacherous way... Even here, only if the king of the country does it when he is an adult, it can be considered a treacherous way."

Wu Shu raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded slowly, but he still had some doubts: "Does the emperor of a great country have to be as upright and upright as he conducts his military duties?"

"That's right." Qin Hui didn't hesitate at all. "Because the most important thing for an emperor of a great country is his identity as emperor. With this identity, the most important thing is for everyone in the world to recognize this identity... For example, the Zhao Guan family used to be in a hurry in Jingkang.

He was at a loss, almost like a lost dog, but once he did something, Li Gang, Lu Haowen, Han Shizhong, and Zhang Jun all followed him, killing Huang Qian like a fly, Liu Guangshi like a chicken... Why? It's not because he is a big man.

Song Guan family, the majestic emperor! Everyone recognizes his identity!"

Wu Shu nodded repeatedly: "I understand what Huizhi means... The Song Dynasty is too big, with too many scholars and people, and its own strength is too mixed. If you want to mobilize its strength to do things, no method can be as good as his official family in the long run.

Identity is useful, so maintaining prestige is the most reasonable and appropriate way...and these actions of his are selling his private property, robbing maritime business, and forcing the envoys to be bullied by Jin Fushi from Goryeo.

Although forced buying and selling can raise some money quickly, it actually hurts the prestige. In the long run, the gains outweigh the losses, is this what you mean?"

"King Wei Mingjian." Qin Hui nodded quickly.

"But what if he made these 30 million strings in a short period of time, and then directly launched the Northern Expedition, and finally the Northern Expedition was completed?" Wu Shu suddenly frowned and said. "His current emperor's prestige is mostly gained on the battlefield.

Right? After spending some, exchange for some money, and fight again, if we win again, wouldn’t we not have to think about long-term prestige?”

"What the King of Wei said is absolutely true." Qin Hui seemed to have expected this question, but he twisted his beard and asked back. "But what if he loses? Doesn't he have to return the money with profits?"

"So, we still have to find out on the battlefield?" Wu Shu frowned even more. "But why do I feel that Qin Xianggong said everything but said nothing?"

"The King of Wei is joking." Qin Hui quickly shook his head and smiled bitterly after hearing this. "Xiaguan is already on the reward list in the south. He shares the honor and disgrace with Dajin, so why bother to fight with the King of Wei again? In comparison, Xiaguan has a lot of trouble.

I want to ask His Highness the King of Wei... His Highness has always known the military. I would like to ask His Highness whether it is better for the Song army to cross the river earlier, when the fighting strength is weaker, or later, when the fighting strength is stronger? Is it better?

Your Majesty, don’t you want the other side to come earlier?”

Wanyan Wushu actually remained silent for this seemingly simple answer, and then remained silent for a long time.

After a long time, the King of Wei, the ruling king of Jin Dynasty, slowly spoke on the couch: "To be honest, I was bent on reforming the military system before and wanted to make the Jurchen soldiers return to their former strength, but these days, I am trying to do this

Only then did I realize that I had to do many other things first, and it involved too much... And the south was so forced, and I really had a moment or two of hesitation... You said, if I try hard to change it, I can't change it, which makes people panic.

As a result, the south side crossed the river, wouldn't it be self-defeating? And if I don't change it, and watch the south side getting stronger and stronger, while my own family becomes more and more stupid, wouldn't I just sit back and wait for death?"

"Fourth Prince, this is a situation where big countries are fighting to the death. If there is even the slightest mistake, it will be catastrophic... Please throw away the idea of ​​​​big gold running rampant in the world to ask for everything." Qin Hui changed his title at the right time. "There is a similar situation in the south.

What a difficult situation! This time you and Cangzhou Zhao Jiu are actually facing each other fairly!"

Wu Shu was slightly startled.

Qin Hui also lowered his voice and became completely serious: "Besides, where can we think about what will happen in three years now? The current situation is that the official in the south is as always, whether it is deceitful or righteous, he will get things done against all odds.

Go down! And what will happen to the Fourth Prince? Are you just waiting here?"

Wu Shu finally took a long breath, but he replied with a sigh: "Why are you waiting? Although I hesitated in my heart, I watched it and didn't dare to stop... The army in the south was going to expand, so I set up a plan

I signed an army as a reserve, and also tried to recruit Jurchens born outside the Great Wall to establish a new army; the south wanted an alliance, so I also sent envoys to Eastern Mongolia, and summoned Goryeo envoys to counterattack; the south wanted to send troops to suppress Jiangnan Taoism, and I

So I prepared this autumn hunt to suppress the rear; with so many tricks to build wealth in the south, I was also prepared to grit my teeth and clean up the increasingly bad Meng'an in the two rivers, and plot to defeat... In the end, after returning from Xijing, I

Don’t dare to hesitate for a moment, don’t dare to be comfortable for a moment!”

Qin Hui nodded repeatedly: "We all see King Wei's hard work."

When Wanyan Wushu saw this, he finally stopped waiting and stood up directly to say: "Mr. Qin has worked hard, please rest early... I am forbidden to bring maids with you, so please don't take offense to Mr. Qin!"

Qin Hui immediately smiled bitterly as he stood up: "Even if the King of Wei allows him to bring a maid, how can he bring her with her?"

Wanyan Wushu, who had already stood up, was slightly startled, but he remembered something, so he stopped saying anything and went out directly with his hands behind his hands. Qin Hui followed closely behind, preparing to see him off.

However, when he was about to leave the tent, Wu Shu suddenly looked back at the Prime Minister and responded calmly: "Qin Xianggong, I am afraid that this autumn hunting will be quite strenuous... Now your family business is quite big, I will give you twenty

You are a soldier, you can keep him under your tent."

Qin Hui was startled for a moment, then realized something, and then immediately lowered his head and answered.

The autumn wind gradually picked up in July, and the night was uneventful.
