Chapter 463 Li Yucheng
Hearing this, Xu Yuan couldn't help but smile in his heart.
As soon as these words came out, it didn't matter whether they were what his father said back then. As long as the prince said one more sentence at this time: "Will you go with me alone?" More or less, some heartbeat will arise.
But it is a pity that the target of this recruitment is him, Xu Yuan.
But one thing to say is that the prince's method of recruiting people is indeed much better than that guy Li Yunqing.
Li Yunqing's pure and simple approach is to paint a picture for you personally, while the prince's role is to put himself into it and paint a blueprint for you in which the two of them will struggle together.
There is no promise, but it makes people yearn for it.
Smiling in his heart, Xu Yuan began to think about how he would respond if the other party solicited him.
According to his current status and personality, there is a high probability that he will not agree to such a direct solicitation, no matter how tempted he is.
Because the son of the Minister of War is a gentleman, not a villain.
The Minister of War is a direct descendant of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so it is impossible for his descendants to not know this kind of thing.
In other words, if he agrees to the olive branch offered by the prince, it will be equivalent to agreeing to stab his biological father in the back.
But it was obvious that Li Yucheng had also thought of this. His soft voice gently sounded in the elegant and quiet wing again. He did not choose to recruit him directly, but asked softly:
“My lord, what do you think of what Mr. Xu said?”
ˆ “.”
Hearing this, Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Ask him what he thinks?
Of course he felt that these words were correct, objective, and to the point.
But the question is, can this be said?
The most basic political sense told Xu Yuan that, assuming the identity of "the son of the Minister of War", he could not comment on the world governed by those two old men.
The two people who said this have now become the emperor and the other the prime minister. After they have achieved success and fame, it can be said that it is a good talk to mention this matter again.
But if it is said by the younger generation, it seems a bit rebellious.
You must know that the prince is sitting in front of you, and with Xu Yuan's current status and character, it is impossible for him to directly establish the government in front of him, even if the other party proposes it first.
For role-playing, you must first enter the play.
Thoughts flashed through Xu Yuan's face, with a hint of just the right amount of hesitation, and he said in a hesitant voice:
“Xu Gong said, how virtuous and capable is Wang?”
“Young master, what you said is wrong.”
Li Yucheng interrupted Xu Yuan with a chuckle, and said with a smile: "Tonight's conversation is just a joke, we will just compare our feelings."
What you are waiting for is 伱.
Xu Yuan smiled from the bottom of his heart. Although role-playing is troublesome, he must be involved in the play. He exhaled:
"Since His Highness is so frank, Wang is a little embarrassed, but Wang does not agree with Xu Gong's words."
Li Yucheng raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this. There was a hint of surprise on his gentle face, and then he smiled and said:
“Young Master, it doesn’t matter if you say so.”
Xu Yuan took a deep breath and bowed to the prince opposite:
“Wang dared to ask His Highness, in His Highness’s opinion, what is a peaceful and prosperous age?”
Li Yucheng’s gentle brows frowned slightly upon hearing this, his fingertips brushed the texture of the tea table, and he replied casually:
“You want to say that if individuals have different definitions of peace and prosperity, their conclusions will also be different?”
"yes."
“Then from the prince’s point of view, what is a peaceful and prosperous age?”
“If there is no peace, how can we call it a prosperous age?”
ˆ “.”
Li Yucheng did not reply immediately after hearing the words. He raised the porcelain cup in front of him, took a sip of the tea, put it down, and said with a faint look in his eyes:
“The prince does care about the people. If he can become a pillar of the imperial court in the future, it will be a blessing to the people of Dayan.”
Only concerned about the people, not the country.
Obviously, the prince in front of him did not agree with what Xu Yuan just said.
Of course, Xu Yuan himself did not agree.
I say this mainly because I want to play the role of the son of the Minister of War.
After all, the lesson learned from Li Yunqing’s gangstering last time is still fresh in my mind, but I can’t act in my true self again.
Through the policy of liberating productive forces by opening the practice to common people all over the world, Dayan's national power is now infinitely stronger than it was back then.
You must know that what the old man and Li Yaoxuan did not only open up the door to practice martial arts, they also opened up many ways for Shu Li to learn formation patterns, animal training, building materials, pharmacology, etc.
The old man's evaluation of Dayan decades ago was that it was a prosperous age. But over the past few decades, Dayan's national power has expanded to the point where it can fight civil wars while fighting foreign races. Now it is not a prosperous age, so what is a prosperous age? ?
“This is just Wang’s family opinion.”
“The prince is too modest.”
Li Yucheng still maintained his soft voice and said softly: "Then from the prince's point of view, how should we explain this peace matter?"
嚯.
Is this the problem at first?
Xu Yuan sighed slightly in his heart and replied softly:
“Wang has little talent and little knowledge about such difficult problems”
Halfway through speaking, Xu Yuan heard a slight tapping sound.
Li Yucheng’s expression remained gentle, but his fingertips began to tap lightly on the tea table in front of him.
Seeing this scene, Xu Yuan knew that his performance was almost done.
Li Yucheng made a special trip tonight, not only to instigate him, but also to inspect him.
If he continues what he just said at this time, the prince will most likely give up directly.
And if you deliberately don't say it and pretend to be humble, you have no discernment. There is no need to recruit such people, because even if they are recruited, they will be exposed sooner or later inside the prime minister's palace.
However, as an illegitimate son who has talent but is frustrated, his character formed by being suppressed in all aspects should be both arrogant and inferior, so Xu Yuan must play such a role to fit the character.
Looking at Li Yucheng's expression, Xu Yuan chuckled lightly, stopped what he was saying and said instead:
“Although I am not sure about these difficult problems, I still have some opinions of my own, and I hope His Highness will correct me.”
Li Yucheng paused while tapping his fingers on the table, and said with a soft smile:
“Young Master Wang indeed has a gap in his heart.”
Xu Yuan raised **** and chuckled:
“In my opinion, there are two reasons for the chaos in Dayan.”
ˆ “.”
Li Yucheng nodded with a smile, but there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
He thought that the person in front of him would only talk about the reason for the sect, but he didn't expect that there were two things.
Under Li Yucheng’s gaze, Xu Yuan slowly said:
“First, the local sect. Wang has been living abroad for more than 20 years. The sect is willing to quell the chaos for the common people, so that local demons and man-made disasters will no longer exist.”
Li Yucheng had a complicated smile on his face after hearing this:
“The sect should always be unwilling.”
Xu Yuan smiled slightly:
"Your Highness, I think the Prime Minister and the Holy Emperor must have made a decision on this after decades of planning."
"." The asymmetry of information made Li Yucheng immediately show appreciation in his eyes after hearing this.
Even many high-ranking local officials only knew the decrees issued by the imperial court and did not know why. It was not easy to see the plans of the two through these marginal decrees.
For example, if a government order is issued to ask local officials to repair an official road leading to the Zongmen Mountain Gate, some officials will think that this is a symbol of reconciliation between the court and the Zongmen, and some officials will think that it is to facilitate business travel, but few people will. Thinking that this is preparing for the future military formation.
“Father, they do have a plan, but haha.”
Halfway through speaking, Li Yucheng paused and stared at Xu Yuan with a smile.
Seeing this, Xu Yuan immediately rolled his eyes.
If he, the son of the prime minister, hadn't already known what the second half of the sentence was, he would probably want to rip off the Riddler's head.
There was a hint of curiosity in his eyes, but Xu Yuan did not ask further questions, while Li Yucheng smiled brightly and said:
“Master Wang, where is the second one?”
Hearing this, Xu Yuan gently tapped the table in front of him with his raised finger:
“Your Highness, Dayan’s country is too big.”
Li Yucheng frowned slightly, his eyes a little confused:
“Master Wang, what do you mean by this?”
Xu Yuan explained softly:
“When a country’s territory exceeds the means of communication, it will inevitably lead to a decline in control, and the final result of the decline in control is chaos.”
In the ancient times of previous lives, even those dynasties that were called the peaceful and prosperous times, there would be banditry by strongmen. Even around the millennium when mobile phones were popular, there were many similar things.
This was the first time Li Yucheng heard this statement. He was silent for a while and smiled slightly:
"Young Master Wang does have a problem in his mind. I have never thought about this problem before tonight."
Xu Yuan smiled slightly and said softly:
“His Royal Highness Tianhuang nobles cannot leave the capital without permission. It is normal for such trivial things to be undetectable. However, the solution to this problem is also very simple. When the formation technology of the communication crystal changes in the future, it will be self-defeating.”
Hearing this, Li Yucheng’s political sense made him immediately frown and said softly:
“From what the prince sees, how can this formation change be solved?”
Xu Yuan's eyes flashed with hesitation, and he whispered:
“Go to the countryside.”
Li Yucheng was silent for a while after hearing this, slowly stood up from the tea table, shook his head, and whispered:
“Prince, your idea is too ideal.”
As he spoke, he walked slowly towards the external railing behind the silk curtain in the wing:
"With the communication of information, perhaps the chaos in the countryside can be solved, but the hearts of common people should no longer be pure. Now that my father has preached to the common people in the world, if someone secretly takes advantage of it in the future, it will not be less than the sect's trouble."
Xu Yuan looked at the other person's back with a little surprise in his eyes.
He suddenly discovered that none of the princes in the royal family seemed to be fuel-efficient.
As soon as I heard this idea, I could immediately think of the cornerstone that might threaten the royal rule in the future.
However, the other party still failed to escape the limited vision brought by the feudal era, or the vision of the feudal royal family.
He also stood up and followed the other person to stand on the external railing. The breeze blew on their faces. They looked at the bustling night view of the ancient city of Di'an City outside for a while. Xu Yuan glanced at the other person's side face and slowly He opened his mouth and said:
“Your Highness, there was a monk who once had alms, but he talked to Wang about this matter, and he gave an answer to this question.”
“Monk?”
“Yes, monk, it’s not Wang’s own idea.”
Li Yucheng.
Xu Yuan said quietly:
“He gave five strategies.”
“Oh? Which five strategies?”
“Foolish people, poor people, weak people, tired people, humiliating people.”
ˆ “.”
Li Yucheng's pupils shrank slightly, and suddenly he looked back, looking at Xu Yuan with a strange look, with a hint of surprise.
Xu Yuan breathed out gently, the heat turned into white mist and dissipated in the air, and slowly explained:
"Things that fool the people are to unify the thoughts of the common people through the guidance of public opinion. To weaken the people, the government strengthens the government, and the people fear the officials. To do things that tire the people, they seek trouble for the people, and are exhausted from running around, so that the people have no time to care about other things. As for The policy of humiliating the people is the same as the weak people, making the common people lose their self-esteem and self-confidence."
"enough."
For the first time, Xu Yuan heard the tones of Li Yucheng besides his gentle voice.
Very light, but a bit cold.
With the cold wind blowing on his face like a knife, Xu Yuan turned his gaze and met the prince's gaze.
Li Yucheng stared at him, gently holding the wooden railing in front of him with his palms:
"I never thought that the prince is really a great talent in governing the world. If I use these five strategies to control the people, my worries would be superfluous."
Xu Yuan met the other party’s gaze and smiled slightly:
“Your Highness, Wang already said that these five strategies were suggested by that monk.”
Li Yucheng.
Li Yucheng took a deep breath. He stared into Xu Yuan's eyes and said word by word:
“Whether it was you who came up with it, Mr. Wang, or the alms monk, I don’t want to hear this kind of poisonous trick to control the people spread in the world again.”
ˆ “.”
After the words fell, the railing fell into silence for a moment.
Xu Yuan was a little surprised in his heart.
The technique of splitting commercial vehicles to control the people can be used in any era and in any background, as long as it is not placed in a world like "One Punch Man".
He didn't understand why the prince had such a big reaction.
There was a long silence between the two of them.
Finally, Xu Yuan broke the silence and asked:
“Your Highness, is there anything wrong with these five strategies?”
Li Yucheng shook his head, looking at the laughing pedestrians on the bustling street below Xuan Yue Downstairs, and said quietly:
“There is nothing wrong, I just don’t want to see Shu Li like this.”
ˆ “.”
Xu Yuan stared at the middle-aged man with deep eyes for several breaths, and suddenly felt a little complicated in his heart.
If the other party can really ascend the throne, maybe he will be a benevolent king.
“Can you call your boat and your people’s water?”
"What?"
"Um?"
“Just now, Mr. Wang, you said.”
Li Yucheng looked back and murmured softly: "A king's boat and a people's water?"
ˆ “.”
Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then laughed softly:
"It's just a joke, Your Highness, you don't have to take it seriously. Although the king today is a boat, the water is not the people."
Li Yucheng, who was wearing a prince's python robe, had a hint of thought in his eyes. After a while, he shook his head slightly:
"Indeed, if one day most of my people in Dayan can practice cultivation, maybe the water that carries the boat can become a people."
Xu Yuan smiled:
“By then, I, Dayan, will be the immortal dynasty on earth.”
ˆ “.”
Li Yucheng did not reply to this joke, but there was a trace of yearning in his eyes as he looked at the prosperous Emperor'an.
It was quiet for a long time,
Until Xu Yuan thought that the conversation was over tonight, he suddenly heard a murmur coming from his side.
Very light and a little unwilling.
“Gu, I want to try it.”
