"Think twice, Father!"
Song Huan opened his mouth subconsciously.
Just after saying this, Song Huan felt a little regretful.
I don't know if the misunderstanding related to Song De has been completely resolved, but now I am so vehement and vetoed Emperor Liang's words.
Isn't this just trying to make Emperor Liang unhappy?
If it were any other prince, in order to please Emperor Liang at this moment, he would definitely obey what Emperor Liang said and not care about anything else.
However, Song Huan could not do or say anything against his will!
What's more, Emperor Liang is not a foolish king. After some explanation, he will definitely understand his original intention.
Emperor Liang was furious, but he didn't expect that Song Huan would stop him, which made him even more angry.
"Why?!"
Song Huan said earnestly: "Now the world is at peace. I, Daliang, have just ended the ten-year war with Beiyuan and pacified the horse bandits in Liangzhou."
"It can be said that such peace is extremely hard-won."
"If we attack Anning County at this moment, wouldn't that mean another war?"
"Furthermore, I heard that although the locals in An Ning occupy the mountain as kings, they do not persecute passers-by. They just form their own system."
"Furthermore, I asked the Prime Minister to check it out. Except for the fact that the local people are unwilling to build the Tea Horse Division, everything else is quite cooperative."
"The annual taxes, grain payments, etc. have never stopped."
"Even at the beginning, many local people chose to join the army to fight against Bei Yuan!"
"If we go to war against him just because of his problems, I'm afraid it's not a good move..."
Emperor Liang snorted coldly: "A good deed?"
"I am the emperor of Daliang, and my duty is to pacify Daliang and unify the nine states!"
"Now that Anning County refuses to cooperate with the imperial court, what is the difference between this and establishing its own business?"
"If I just let it go, that would be true inaction!"
Seeing that Emperor Liang was agitated, Song Huan quickly explained: "Father, you have misunderstood what I meant!"
"My son, I just advise you not to be impatient for the moment. I don't want you to let it go."
"There is a saying that goes like this: Be polite before fighting!"
"The problem in Anning Town is just that the local government sent people to ask twice."
"You don't know the specific situation!"
"It would be too hasty for you to conscript troops just because of a few words of excuse from the local government."
"Besides, it's the middle of winter right now, and snowstorms and droughts have cost a lot of money."
"If we want to send troops to Anning Town, it will inevitably cost a lot of money."
"When the state treasury is stretched thin, the situation will not be good!"
After listening to Song Huan's analysis, it was indeed reasonable, and Emperor Liang gradually lost his excitement and anger just now.
"Then according to you, what should we do about this matter?"
Song Huandao said: "I have discussed this matter with the Prime Minister before, and we agreed that sending an imperial envoy to Anning County is the best choice."
"Sending an imperial envoy, first of all, may be able to resolve the crisis and avoid a war."
"After all, the tea-horse trade is a good thing, but if we fight for it, it will turn into a bad thing."
"The most important thing is that if the Xia Kingdom knows about the crusade against Anning County, it will inevitably cause criticism from the Xia Kingdom people."
"However, if an imperial envoy is sent, it is possible to avoid such a situation!"
Emperor Liang was thoughtful: "What about the second one?"
Song Huan said eloquently: "If the local people in Anning refuse to obey and don't even give the imperial envoy face, then my father will not have to give them another chance."
"A small county town still wants to overthrow the world?"
"Take it right away!"
"If it really comes to this point, the imperial envoy sent will naturally have other uses."
"That is to survey the local situation in Anning in advance so that we can have a sufficient understanding of the battle situation!"
"In other words, at that time, the imperial mission will be equivalent to that of a spy on the battlefield."
After listening to Song Huan's explanation, Emperor Liang couldn't help laughing.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
"good!"
"It's a good idea to be polite first and then attack!"
"Old Fourth, Old Fourth, you really never let me down!"
Song Huan bowed his head humbly: "It is the duty of a son to solve problems for his father!"
"It's just that if we really want to send an imperial envoy, the candidate for this imperial envoy will be particularly important."
"This person not only needs to hold an important position in the court, but also to show that your father attaches great importance to the local people and the Tea Horse Company."
"Moreover, this person must have a sharp tongue and be able to lobby the local people."
"Of course, all this is not the most important thing!"
Emperor Liang couldn't help but wonder: "Then what do you think is the most important thing?"
Song Huan said firmly: "The most important thing is that this person must have an upright, brave and unflinching heart!"
"And you must have endless patience with the local people and the determination to make this happen!"
"As long as he has such conditions, no matter how difficult it is, he can definitely do it!"
When Emperor Liang heard this, he couldn't help but nodded.
"Fourth, what you said makes sense."
"I just want to know, looking at the whole Daliang court, are there any such people?"
"I racked my brains and only thought of one suitable candidate, and that is Prime Minister Cheng Xun!"
Hearing Emperor Liang's words, Song Huan was secretly frightened.
broken.
Since Emperor Liang said such words, it proved that in his heart, he already regarded Cheng Xun as the number one backup candidate.
But he had promised Su Su before that as long as he was around, he would never let Cheng Xun make this trip to Anning County.
There is peace here, the mountains are high and the road is far away. Who knows if there will be any accidents or changes?
a man of his words.
Whatever you promised Susu, you must do it!
Song Huan coughed twice and said, "Father is right, the Prime Minister is indeed a suitable candidate."
"It's just that the Prime Minister is the leader of my ministers in the Liang Dynasty. To send him as an imperial envoy is to kill a chicken with a knife!"
"What's more, the Prime Minister has a lot of things to do every day. He is responsible for and coordinates countless government affairs every day."
"He will be gone for at least a month."
"In this way, wouldn't there be no one to deal with the extra government affairs?"
Emperor Liang nodded thoughtfully.
"What you said is indeed true."
"Although matters in Anning County are not urgent at this time, the new year is approaching and it is not a good thing to delay it."
"Tomorrow morning, I will announce this to the courtiers and see who would recommend themselves and be willing to go."
"From among these self-recommended people, just pick the most suitable person!"
Song Huan bowed his hands to Emperor Liang: "My father is wise!"
The matter was initially resolved. Emperor Liang was in a good mood and his appetite improved a lot.
It can be seen that Emperor Liang had a big problem in his heart these past two days, and his food was not very good.
I'm afraid I'm really hungry tonight!
Looking at Emperor Liang feasting in front of him, Song Huan gradually put aside his worries and started eating happily.
This matter should just be over.
