Chapter 473 You don’t think you are very good, do you?
"Your Highness, you are insulting me by speaking like this! I have studied sages and sages all my life, and I have even failed to serve two masters. How can I possibly collaborate with the enemy and treason?"
Li Xiuyuan said angrily.
Lin Fan looked at Li Xiuyuan indifferently and said: "Since you are not collaborating with the enemy and treason, then why are you with the enemy minister today and bringing him to see my prince?"
Pei Nanjin's face looked extremely ugly at this time. How could he not see that Lin Fan had no intention of talking to them at all, and he did not pay any attention to Li Xiuyuan.
Li Xiuyuan looked extremely ugly at this time. He was a person that Your Majesty valued greatly, but at this time, Lin Fan treated him indifferently and even questioned him.
"Reporting to His Majesty the Crown Prince, I and Pei Nanjin have been close friends for many years. The friendship between me and him has never been related to government affairs, let alone our family and country. Isn't this also allowed?"
Li Xiuyuan said coldly.
"Haha! You Li Xiuyuan, you have such a mouth, you are really good at talking. Since you are on good terms with enemy officials, it is just a pure friendship!"
"Then let me ask you, those generals in the army just received a letter from the enemy general. Why did you report this person to your Majesty for collaborating with the enemy and treason?"
"You have done a lot of this kind of thing, and you never even give people a chance to explain. Today, if I stand here and listen to your explanation, I am much more merciful than you people!"
Lin Fan said with a sneer.
this……
Li Xiuyuan was completely speechless. He looked at Lin Fan, his eyes filled with disbelief. How could this prince be different from others?
Even my own ability to stir up trouble is incomparable!
"how?
Have nothing to say?"
Lin Fan looked at Li Xiuyuan and said.
"Haha! Your Highness the Crown Prince, this matter is not the fault of the foreign ministers. The dispute between Annan Kingdom and the Ming Dynasty is very tense. In desperation, I asked Brother Li to mediate and ask His Highness the Crown Prince to calm down!"
Pei Nanjin hurriedly smiled.
"Your Highness, I am here this time because I hope that after Your Highness regains Yunnan Mansion, he will stop and start another war to let more people bleed and die!"
Li Xiuyuan said in a deep voice.
"Haha! Are you envoys from Annan Kingdom mentally ill?
If you want to find someone to mediate, you should find a few capable people. If you find such an old man, do you think you can convince me?"
Lin Fan said with a sneer.
this!
When Pei Nanjun heard this, his face instantly turned ugly, but Li Xiuyuan said coldly: "Your Highness, you are also a person who has been on the battlefield for a long time. You should know what war will bring, right?"
"This prince naturally knows that war will bring killing, but war can also bring peace. Without practice on the battlefield, how can we let the enemy know that our Ming Dynasty has strong troops and horses?"
"If an enemy country despises our Ming Dynasty, they will naturally send troops to attack. Such harassment will continue over and over again. When will it stop?"
"Therefore, the best strategy is to annihilate all the enemies in one fell swoop!"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Your Highness, what you said only shows that your knowledge is shallow. I believe that war cannot solve everything!"
"Our Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette. Everyone should be treated with courtesy. Now that we have recaptured Yunnan Prefecture, why should we invade other countries' territories again?"
"kindness?
I found out why you, an old kid like you, keep helping others by talking?
When they invaded Yunnan Mansion, you didn't stand up to ask them to return it!"
"It's good now that you persuaded me to stop. I think your brain is showing off, right?"
Lin Fan said coldly.
"Ahem! Your Highness, the foreign minister came here with sincerity. As long as you are willing to stop, we can negotiate any conditions!"
"However, the matter of three trillion taels of silver needs to be discussed again. This amount is too much. We in Annan Kingdom will not be able to earn so much silver even if it takes a hundred years!"
Pei Nanjin coughed twice and said.
Li Xiuyuan also said: "Your Highness, the small country of Annan is extremely barbaric and does not understand etiquette. However, I, the Ming Dynasty, should show the spirit of a great nation. How can I be as knowledgeable as them?"
I wipe it!
These two people sang and harmonized. If it were anyone else, they would really be persuaded by them, but I am not that kind of fool.
Lin Fan said directly: "If you can't take out three trillion taels of silver, then don't take it. Compensate the territory of Annan to this prince. The citizens of Annan will also serve our Ming Dynasty!"
"As for what you said, since the small country of Annan does not know etiquette, it needs education even more. Wouldn't it be better if I take it over and educate its people to understand etiquette?"
kindness!
Li Xiuyuan was stunned and said: "Your Highness, have you ever thought about how much killing will happen if the people are displaced wherever your army passes?"
"All this happened because of the Annan Kingdom. If they don't invade my Yunnan Mansion of the Ming Dynasty, will I send troops?
Did they think so at the time?"
"Since it is for the sake of the people, then can't the king of Annan surrender?
What those people want is to live. If they become the people of my Ming Dynasty, will they not be able to live?"
Lin Fan said coldly.
this……
Li Xiuyuan was so retorted that he couldn't open his mouth. Pei Nanjin said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, Brother Li represents the world's literati and Confucian scholars. If you act like this, I'm afraid you will be spurned by the world!"
Lin Fan said coldly: "My Ming Dynasty is already carrying out reforms. These literati have been deprived of their true fame. Do you think I will still care about their spit?"
"Hmph! The war between our Ming Dynasty and the Annan Kingdom is unavoidable, but as long as the people of the Annan Kingdom don't resist, they will be fine!"
After saying that, Lin Fan ordered people to drive Li Xiuyuan and Pei Nanjin out. At this time, Li Xiuyuan said solemnly: "Your Highness, as long as you are willing to stop fighting, I am willing to follow you back to the capital!"
"I swear that I will stay with His Highness the Crown Prince for the rest of my life!"
Forehead……
Lin Fan turned around, looked at Li Xiuyuan and said: "Old Li Tou, you don't think you are outstanding, do you?"
"His Royal Highness, you!"
Li Xiuyuan was stunned.
"After the Ming Dynasty experienced reforms, the talents we need are no longer literati and Confucian scholars, but real talents!"
"For example, scientific research talents, tactical talents, etc., tell me, what do you know?
I ask you to develop weapons, will you do it?"
Lin Fan severely reprimanded Li Xiuyuan.
Then someone drove the two of them out. Another day later, the army had been reorganized and enough dry food was prepared. Lin Fan led the soldiers towards the border of Annan Kingdom.
Simingfu City!
There is an army of 20,000 people stationed here, and most of them are from the Annan Kingdom, including the generals!
