Although he still doesn't know Liu Zheng's specific identity, he knows that this kid is definitely not a simple character.
"By the way, I remembered that there was a person who called me a country thief." Liu Zheng said with a smile.
After hearing Liu Zheng's words, Yu Qian became energetic. He stared at Liu Zheng, leaning forward with a vigilant look on his face.
"You are Liu Zheng!"
Yu Qian looked at Liu Zheng and screamed in disbelief.
He was surprised, not only because the person in front of him was Liu Zheng, but also because of those four words Liu Zheng said!
The thief of the country!
This is what he said to General Zhao Yan at that time, and his voice was not loud. General Zhao Yan is an upright person, and there is no way he would come to Liu Zheng and say this.
At this time, Yu Qian recalled the scene at that time.
He remembered that when he was talking to Zhao Yan, there were indeed several soldiers not far away from him!
The words come from their mouths!
Among the few city defenders, there is Liu Zheng’s spy. Liu Zheng is so powerful!
Yu Qian was surprised, but not frightened. After his mood stabilized, he said seriously and coldly: "The hawks and dogs under my command are like this. If they are not thieves of the country, what are they?"
"Lord Yu, you have thought too much. This matter has long been spread by the nobles in the capital. Although the intelligence system in Liu Zheng's hands is good, it is not targeted at his colleagues. It's just that he is a thief who steals the country. Then you can tell me, I steal the country.
What did you steal?" Liu Zheng asked with a smile.
"Stealing national power and stealing the dragon flame artifact."
Yu Qian said angrily without thinking.
"You said that I stole the national power, but the national power is now in the hands of the cabinet. You said that I stole the Dragon Flame artifact? Now, the Dragon Flame is still the Dragon Flame, and the person sitting on the throne of the emperor is still Xie. You
Is this conclusion untenable?"
Liu Zheng shook his head and said.
"In name, the cabinet controls the country's power, but in reality, all the cabinet members have to look at the face of you, the chief minister of the cabinet. Although the Xie family still holds the throne, the emperor is already your puppet. Isn't this a big thief?" Yu Qian argued angrily.
road.
"What you said makes sense, but thieves also have their ways. Have you ever seen me do anything that is harmful to nature?"
Liu Zheng asked.
"Isn't it wrong to resort to militarism, go to war with surrounding ethnic groups, and bring the economy to the brink of collapse?"
“Isn’t it wrong to use up manpower and material resources to develop barren Liaodong?”
"When the domestic economy is on the verge of collapse, we still spend huge sums of money to travel across the ocean. Isn't this wrong?"
"Suppressing Confucianism and respecting businessmen has filled the society with a smell of copper. Isn't this wrong?"
Yu Qianwen made an impassioned speech and asked three questions in a row.
Liu Zheng smiled lightly.
These issues were also used by the domestic opposition to attack him.
"Okay, since you said that, I will respond to you one by one."
"First of all, you said that I am militaristic? I would like to ask Mr. Yu, which of my wars have been meaningless? If I don't fight the invading enemies, do I still have to give them yearly coins like the former dynasty? I am a dragon.
When did the Yan Dynasty need money to buy peace? As for Tsarist Russia in the north, they are constantly expanding. The northeast is unclaimed land. If we occupy it, there will be no problems. Even if you give it to Tsarist Russia
, Tsarist Russia’s ambitions will not stop, and will continue to invade our land and isolate them from the ice and snow, so that our people can stay away from the pain of war. Is there any problem with this?" Liu Zheng asked.
After listening to Liu Zheng's words, Yu Qian also understood, but this was not his ideal solution to the problem.
"If we use force to fight against the barbarians, what's the difference between us, the Longyan people, and the barbarians? We don't have to use war to deal with the barbarians. I think mutual trade is the best way. Now, the Mongols are short of food, and we can
Do these trades with them at the border and let them exchange their furs for our food. In this way, they can solve the problem of food and clothing in the simplest way and will not rebel against their tribal leaders."
Yu Qian retorted.
"Master Yu, the reality is different from what is written in the book. You are too idealistic. You want to make peace with others, but they may not want to make peace with you. Why should they trade with you when they can obviously rob you? Big tribe
Do you think they won’t listen to the leader’s words? Moreover, no one wants to remain poor and wants to change their destiny. The best way is to violently plunder. Mutual trading is a good method, but it requires a prerequisite. Then
It’s just to make them afraid. Only by beating them to make them scared and painful will they know that we are not easy to mess with, so they will put down their weapons and do business with us obediently.”
"Liaodong has learned a lesson from this matter, isn't it enough?"
"How did I treat them back then? But what about them?"
"The nature of barbarians cannot be changed by wealth!"
"The ambition of a wolf is known to everyone!"
Liu Zheng put his hands behind his hands and explained with a smile.
""
"This..." Yu Qian was speechless. Now, he didn't know how to answer Liu Zheng.
