Gui Guo Cabinet Minister Zhao Youkun saw that Zhu Dahu was scrambling to be the first in everything.

He immediately realized that the current rhythm was controlled by Zhu Dahu.

Gui State and Wu State have a tacit understanding, but they are indeed enemies. They have begun to win over allies and prepare for war.

Before a hot war breaks out, competition between the two countries in various fields will inevitably affect the morale of the two countries.

If Zhao Youkun loses to Zhu Dahu in this matter, he will be more than one step ahead.

Even if this matter has a good outcome, all the credit goes to Wu State Minister Zhu Dahu.

When Zhao Youkun returns to the country, he will definitely be criticized by thousands of people and disgusted by King Qutian of Gui, and his official career will end here.

His control over the situation is indeed not as good as Zhu Dahu's.

But he has been in official circles for so many years, and his ability to perform in given situations is better than many people.

Zhao Youkun waited until Zhu Dahu finished speaking, but had not yet said the next words.

He immediately held up his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, we all know in your country that His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire treats the vassal countries equally.

Because we are all compatriots and we want to coexist peacefully.

But some people don't regard us as compatriots. We fight openly and honestly on the battlefield. If we really lose, it means we are inferior to others in terms of strength. We are convinced of our defeat.

The State of Wu used poison gas bombs to kill a large number of young people in our country. Every household in Xuanjing City hung white sails, and the sound of mourning and music resounded throughout the city.

At that time, our country suffered heavy losses and accepted the imperial mediation.

As our country's strength recovers, this bloody feud must be avenged.

Please allow the empire to resolve this matter between our two countries.

We in Guizhou can accept any consequences."

Prince Su Shu heard the speeches of Zhu Dahu, the representative of Wu State, and Zhao Youkun, the representative of Gui State. He was very happy. Before he even started to guide, these two countries had revealed their cards.

He made an angry expression on his face, glared, and said angrily: "So, you two are not here to mediate, but to test the empire's attitude. By doing this, where do you want to put the empire?"

Prince Su Shu directly exposed what the two countries were trying so hard to hide.

Before this matter was revealed, the father could still pretend not to know. After it was officially revealed, the father must express his attitude on behalf of the empire.

Prince Su Shu stood up angrily and quickly left the room.

Cabinet minister Chu Sheng frowned and said, "Hey! I don't even know what to say about what you did.

You should reflect on this carefully."

Chu Sheng couldn't understand why Wu and Gui were so eager?

The situation in Europe has not reached the level of war in the near future.

They can take their time and promote a slow change in the situation, but there is no need to do so.

Zhu Dahu saw that both Prince Su Shu and Imperial Cabinet Minister Chu Sheng had left.

He looked at Zhao Youkun and said disdainfully: "He is a guy who fails to accomplish enough but fails to do more than fail."

He rubbed his temples, being with these idiots made him really anxious.

The change that originally took several months to promote was brought up by Zhao Youkun as soon as they met.

This approach is to force the palace to force the empire to take a stand on this matter.

What would the empire think of these vassal states?

Zhao Youkun saw everyone walking out angrily.

He stood there with a look of fear on his face, unable to figure out what he said wrong.

What he said was obviously in line with Zhu Dahu.

Zhao Youkun could only let out a long sigh and chose to leave the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Prince Su Shu returned to the palace by car, and he was secretly delighted in the car.

He had known that the ministers of the vassal states were all such idiots, so there was no need to make so many preparations.

He originally thought that the ministers of the vassal countries were also sensible people and would engage in Tai Chi with the empire and slowly delay it.

Until the situation in Europe became even worse, it was time for the empire to express its attitude.

The preparations made by Prince Su Shu were to give hints to the representatives of the vassal states through some small things, telling them not to give up, and the situation would develop in the direction they thought.

Now that things have developed like this, it is completely a good thing for Prince Su Shu.

He didn't make any small moves, and this matter had nothing to do with him. Anyone who wants to use this matter as an excuse to criticize is doing nothing.

Prince Su Shu soon arrived at Qianqing Palace and reported what happened in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to his father.

After Emperor Su He heard what happened, he was silent for a moment, and then asked: "Shu'er, what do you think of this matter?"

Prince Su Shu immediately replied: "Father, I believe that the vassal country is preparing for war.

Perhaps they wanted to dominate one side because of the monarch's ambition.

Or because the domestic economic development is difficult and there are many domestic conflicts, they want to transfer the domestic conflicts through war.

Many vassal states, especially those in Europe, would not choose foreign wars.

With the hidden dangers left behind by its blind development in the past, it is very likely that the country will be fragmented.

The knowledgeable people in these vassal countries have also realized this situation.

They are quietly pushing behind the scenes and want to use an all-out war to clean up the foreign races that cannot be integrated into the country.

Promote the formation of vassal states and nations."

Of course Prince Su Shu knew what his father liked, and everything he said was what his father cared about most.

As for the current changes in the situation in the vassal states, the biggest reason is that after the economic crisis, the empire cooperated with it through its control of industry and superb financial means.

The empire passed on part of the costs that should have been borne by itself to the vassal states.

This directly caused the domestic economy of the vassal country, which was originally in the development stage and could barely bear it, to completely collapse.

Economic stability is the foundation for a country's stability.

The people's lives are precarious, and there will inevitably be turmoil in the country.

The status of the royal family in the vassal country was not stable to begin with, and the conflict between the Han people and the local indigenous people could not be resolved in a short time.

If vassal states want to stabilize domestic conflicts, they can only transfer conflicts externally. As long as the costs are borne by other countries, their own countries can take this opportunity to complete their transformation.

As the sovereign state, the empire must set an example and maintain the aura of justice.

There are some things that can be done but not said.

These things are not promoted by the royal family, but are done by greedy businessmen in the country who want to make high profits.

The thing that my father was most worried about was that the indigenous people in the vassal country would overthrow the rule of the vassal country.

Once this happens, it will prove that what my father has always insisted on is wrong.

This was a big blow to my father.

My father has a high priority on this matter and can make compromises on some things.

Emperor Su He was very interested in what Prince Su Shu said.

"Shu'er, your point of view is very strange. Please explain it in detail."

When Prince Su Shu heard that his father was indeed interested in this matter, he immediately explained his point of view.

"Father, we Han people conquer the world through force.

In the Americas, countries with a certain level of civilization have been conquered by European colonists.

By spreading the smallpox plague, they wiped out the fragile civilizations of the American continent.

There are only tribes left in the American continent, and at most they are tribal alliances.

To the empire, this is a savage.

The civilization of the empire completely crushed the civilization of the savages.

Advanced civilization will definitely attract backward civilization. The pursuit of a happy life is the most basic desire for everyone after satisfying their survival.

In the major vassal states in America, there is basically no domestic conflict between Han people and indigenous people. The local indigenous people are proud to be Han people.

The indigenous peoples of America and Asia are the easiest ethnic groups to rule.

The main reason is that their appearance is not much different from the Han people, so it is not difficult to integrate.

Even if you cannot integrate into the local Han ethnic group, as long as you choose to immigrate, you can easily integrate into the Han ethnic group in other places.

For people from other places, it is very difficult to integrate into the Han ethnic group.

The most difficult thing is in Africa, where black people's attempts to integrate have completely failed.

For the Liao, Zheng, Jin, Chu, Yue, and Song countries that had territories in Africa, they could only choose a large number of indigenous immigrants from Asia and America.

In order to obtain enough indigenous population, the Song Dynasty actually chose to exchange warships for the indigenous population.
