NOVEL NEXT Chapter 113 Pearl goes out to sea
Da Wei's foreign policy is a battle of national destiny.
Even if they want to maintain stability, the internal and external environment will not allow it.
The emperor of Da Wei learned from the experience of Da Kang's loss of the country and prepared to do his best to weaken the neighboring countries when the country is strong.
But the countries of Dayu, Da Chu, and Nan Liang are not easy to fool.
They also have their own national policies and will never easily let the Wei Wuzu, the Four Powers and Four Military Camps of Da Wei dominate other countries.
Therefore, since the founding of Da Wei, it has become more and more powerful, and the blockade of its neighboring countries has become more and more severe.
Now it is even more subtle that the three countries are communicating with each other and jointly defending Da Wei, which makes the monarch and ministers of Da Wei extremely annoyed.
"The State of Yu valued the gentry and claimed to rule the world with them. Its literary style flourished, but its martial virtues declined.
In addition, it had been more than 320 years since its founding, and it was old and exhausted. Sooner or later, it would be trapped both internally and externally, and its national fortune would collapse."
"The State of Chu worshipped the nobles, and all the land in the country was given to the royal family and nobles. There were constant internal disputes and wars.
But as a result, several strong armies were raised. If they were suppressed by intimidation, it would not be a problem; if troops were sent into their country, they would be forced to fight together and resist the strong enemy."
At this point, the Emperor of Wei paused. In fact, the State of Chu was not as bad as he said, but was a real strong enemy.
It was probably because the feudal lords in various parts of the State of Chu seemed to be constantly consuming internal energy, but it was hard to say whose life was consumed and whose achievement was made.
The secret agents of the Great Wei often reported that there were many enlightened demons in the territory of the State of Chu, who were reorganized into the army and were fierce and good at fighting.
Therefore, even if the neighboring countries did not interfere, the Emperor of Wei would not choose to fight with the State of Chu.
He was prepared to take a soft approach and look for opportunities to let the people of Chu master Lingwu, and then attack from both inside and outside to subvert their feudal system.
The best way to choose this path is to marry. The offspring of the Princess of Wei and the Crown Prince of Chu are so precious that they can naturally obtain fiefdoms and secret realms.
At that time, the children with royal blood of the two countries will form their own warrior guards, so as to spread Lingwu to the people in a reasonable and legal way.
"Although Chu is in chaos, it is still strong and should be planned for the long term."
"As for Nanliang, it's a pity. It was still brave when it founded the country, but now it worships Buddhism and builds temples, and its spirit is gone.
Although they claim to be at odds with Chu and want to form an alliance with our Wei, I really can't trust them.
They look fierce and have little courage. If there is a national war, they may fall with the wind or hold their ground and not come out."
After the Emperor of Wei said this, a group of court officials and thirteen governors of various states understood the direction of national policy this year.
In general, it is to appease the hard bone of Chu, win over the fence-sitter Nanliang who defends the natural barrier, and attack the weak and old Yu State.
In this way, the court officials do not need to argue. The follow-up depends on whether the Nine Ministers and the Great Herald in charge of diplomacy can promote the national policy.
"Your Majesty's intention is clear to me. After the banquet, I will urge the officials of the Honglu Temple to send envoys to Liang and Chu as soon as possible."
The Nine Ministers and the Great Herald are a thin old man. Although he takes elixirs, he only takes in qi to nourish his body and does not practice martial arts. He is a real civil servant.
But I didn't expect that when the martial Wei implemented the national policy, these literati were needed to sort out diplomacy first.
After the Great Herald expressed his position, the Xinyuan State Banquet entered a more relaxed stage. It no longer talked about the military affairs of the country, but talked about the customs of each state.
This state banquet allowed Zhou Yuan to see how the chariot of the Wei Dynasty drove and the basic status of the surrounding neighboring countries.
However, these words cannot be fully believed. The soldiers of Wei Dynasty have a natural filter for their own country, so they naturally see problems in neighboring countries.
Perhaps once the war started, Yu State was not as weak as imagined, and Liang and Chu States would not respond according to Wei Dynasty's expectations.
Fortunately, these military and national affairs were far away from the people of Wei Dynasty. When Wei Dynasty wanted to mobilize the people to participate in the war, most of them would be unable to fight again.
As the atmosphere of the state banquet changed, the governors of various states took the initiative to talk about some interesting stories in their states to please the emperor and liven up the atmosphere.
Among them, Zhou Yuan was mentioned again, and became a man of prosperity in the mouth of the governor of Huaizhou.
"I didn't expect that you, a young man, would encounter the secret realm of ghosts and bandits in succession after three months in the camp. You must have a strong fortune.
Where is Taizhu? Come and test Zhou Yuan's fate. If he is really a person with a noble fate, I will transfer him to the School Affairs Office and give him the right to travel the country and explore the secret realm full-time."
The words of the Emperor of Wei caused laughter among the court officials. It would be very interesting if the top scorer of the Xinyuan list really became a secret school official.
However, it is interesting. Zhou Yuan's background has the value of united front work, so he will naturally not really enter the secret office of the School Affairs Office.
"Your Majesty, wait a moment, let me test it."
The court of Wei has a Taoist priest who specializes in fortune-telling, and his status is not low. He is a regular official of the Nine Ministers and the Ministry of Rites.
"Captain Zhou, please write your birth date and eight characters here, and let me measure your bones."
Under the gaze of the court officials, Zhou Yuan had to cooperate with the calculation.
He also wanted to see what the traditional Taoist priests of Wei could predict.
What Zhou Yuan did not expect was that the Taizhu, who was in charge of the sacrifice and calculation, actually found something with the horoscope.
"Three sides and four directions, the horoscope palace is in Wei, with Tiantong and Jumen in the move; the official position is in Hai, with Taiyin in the position; the wealth palace is in Mao, with the Sun and Tianliang in the horoscope palace.
This is the Mingzhu Chuhai horoscope. Those with this horoscope have both good wealth and official positions, and their reputation spreads far and wide."
"The Taiyin is in the Hai Palace, and the Sun is in the Mao Palace, rising in the east. This horoscope is easy to become famous at a young age.
However, although the Mingzhu Chuhai horoscope is high, it does not like empty robbery and avoids evil stars, otherwise the life owner will be greatly reduced."
The court officials sat quietly, and the Taizhu took the horoscope and explained the art of Guo Lao Xingzong and the seven political and four surpluses carefully.
"Oh, it's really a precious fate. Be careful from now on. Wise demons like people with precious fate like you.
However, although Taizhu's words make sense, why is Zhou Yuan not well-known in the countryside, just like an ordinary person?"
"Your Majesty, the pearl out of the sea is important for the pearl, not the sea.
If the pearl does not jump out of the sea, it will naturally sink into the water and be lost in the crowd; only when the pearl goes out of the sea can it shine on the sea and show its fortune."
"It's interesting. I wonder if Taizhu can calculate the pearl that has not yet gone out of the sea, so that it can also help it become noble as soon as possible."
"This method will not work. The pearl goes out to sea, not the external force of fishing, but the internal force.
If Captain Zhou decides to join the camp and practice martial arts, and the playboy wakes up when encountering things, only the heart can go out to sea."
The metaphysical prophecy of Taizhu seems to have no basis, but it is very consistent with Zhou Yuan's situation.
It's just that his internal strength is a little too strong, not as natural as the pearl going out to sea, but more like a rocket-propelled manned space flight.
After learning that Zhou Yuan really had a precious fate, the Emperor of Wei ordered Taizhu to give Zhou Yuan a copy of the "Demons and Demons Fate Record" to warn him against the devil of confusing his heart in the future.
"The pearl goes out to sea, like the sun rising in the east and setting in the west. When it is young, the dawn light is dim, when it is young, it shines brightly, when it is strong, it is bright and dazzling, when it is weak, it is dim and dim, and when it is old, it sinks into the sea without light.
Your Majesty can take advantage of the pearl's rising period and use the good luck of Zhou Duwei's wealth and official to explore some secret places.
Otherwise, when the pearl reaches the top and is about to fall into the sea, although it is still bright and clean, it will no longer have the power to shine and official."
