Yan Sangzi admired King Ruluo Xi and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, you are so wise!" King Ruluo Xi stood up and walked down, helped Yan Sangzi up and said, "Sir, please get up." The rest of the courtiers dispersed, Ruluo Xi Wang only left Yan Sangzi behind. King Ruluo Xi sat down alone, almost feeling a sense of sadness. Yan Sangzi looked at it and said: "What the king is worried about is that the power of the prime minister is too great, which is a major obstacle to the implementation of centralization of power. Is that so?" The sadness on the face of King Ruluo gradually disappeared and he said: "Sir, what you said is extremely Yes, I don’t know how to solve it?" This was a thorny problem. Yan Sangzi said: "I do have a way to divide the power between the prime ministers." At this time, King Ruluo Xi couldn't wait and asked in a hurry: "What method? Sir, please speak." Yan Sangzi looked at King Ruluo Xi, then looked away. Perhaps at this time, it was thinking that if this method was used, it would offend the Prime Minister and his party members, and it would be difficult to gain a foothold in the court in the future if it made many enemies. Despite this, he still said, "If you set up left and right prime ministers in the court, you can restrain each other and work together to be loyal to the king." After hearing this, King Ruluo Xi was very happy and said: "Sir, this method Very good. Sir, you are very resourceful and resourceful, which can be compared with Mr. Baizhen back then. I just want to ask you to be your right prime minister and assist the prime minister in handling military and political affairs." Yan Sangzi smiled and replied: "I know my ability, if I can make suggestions for the king. It's acceptable, but it's not possible to deal with major military and political affairs. I'm used to being lax, and if I'm afraid of delaying the military opportunity, it's my fault. Please ask the king to take back my order." King Ruluo Xi said again: "Then you will be Gu's military advisor and make plans for Gu. That's it, sir. It's better to postpone it." Yan Sangzi stood up and knelt down, saying: "Thank you, Your Majesty." King Ruluo Xi said: "Sir, there is no need to pay such a big courtesy."
Yan Sangzi stood up and sat down. King Ruluo Xi and Yan Sangzi sat opposite each other and said, "I wonder what countermeasures you sir have for attacking the Cockroach Kingdom?" Yan Sangzi looked at King Ruluo Xi and replied, "Your Majesty needs one. Powerful cavalry that can run thousands of miles and fight flexibly. The key to cavalry is the war horse. For this, the king needs to legislate laws about horses. In order to ensure the number of war horses, it is strictly forbidden to kill horses, eat horse meat or steal horses. Anyone who violates the law is strictly prohibited. Anyone under this criminal law is subject to death, which can prevent the loss of fine stallions. For this reason, the king has specially set up horse inspectors. When merchants transport or sell horses, horses are prohibited from being more than five feet nine inches tall, and their teeth are not flat. They are not allowed to leave the customs. Set up a horse minister, who specializes in managing horses or setting up horse farms, responsible for the collection and raising of war horses, and streamlining horse production. For this purpose, the king can order to send caravans to trade overseas or even with enemy countries, import high-quality war horses, and use enemy insects To enrich his own armament, the king can open up the silk trade between Ruluo Nanzhou, Ruluo Zhongzhou, Ant Tribe and Termite Tribe, so as to establish good diplomatic relations between countries." Yan Sangzi through foreign trade and Horse management and planning to enrich your military strength.
Maybe King Ruluo Xi was too engrossed in what he was listening to. It was getting dark gradually, and he didn't know when the eunuch came in and said, "Your Majesty, it's time to have a meal." King Ruluo Xi finally came back to his senses. Looking at the sky, I saw that it was getting dark. Yan Sangzi stood up, kowtowed and said, "The king is about to have dinner, so I will leave." King Ruluo Xi said, "Why don't you, sir, just stay and have dinner with me." Yan Sangzi hesitated and said: "This——." King Ruluo Xi said: "Sir, please don't worry, Guhui will send guards to escort you back." Yan Sangzi said: "How dare you use the guards around the king for a trivial matter." King Ruluo Xi smiled and said: "Sir, you got home safely. , I can rest assured." Yan Sangzi teased and said: "This trip is indeed worthwhile, at least I can earn a dinner." He walked forward and knelt down in front of the desk. King Ruluo Xi said with a smile: "Okay, sir, your plan is more than just a dinner. If you are willing, sir, you can come and eat every day." King Ruluo Xi's dinner was just a bowl of porridge and some desserts. Yan Sangzi looked at it and said: "Your Majesty, please take care of your health." King Ruluo Xi said: "Save the expenses in the palace. Building a strong army requires money, and save what you can. Sir, this is shabby. Yan Sangzi was very moved and said: "Where can I find such a wise king? I am willing to swear allegiance to the king to the death." King Ruluo Xi said: "Write down what you said, sir, and have a meal." King Luo Xi was reviewing memorials while eating. Such a diligent and frugal king was rare.
Yan Sangzi sat on the chariot and returned to the training depot under the escort of the guards. Its junior brother is also worried about these things about it, because it knows well that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. The chariot arrived outside the gate of the training depot. Yan Sangzi walked out, turned around and said, "You guys go back." Then, Yan Sangzi entered, and his junior brother came up to him and said, "Senior brother, you are finally back." Yan Sangzi said, "You are back. Your Majesty is extremely generous to me. I am willing to follow you to the death for your kindness." The swordsmith advised: "Brother, don't get involved in the whirlpool of the imperial court. It will be difficult to get out by then." Yan Sangzi said: "Don't worry, I have my own. A way out."
The next day, King Ruluo Xi went to the military training depot with all his civil and military officials. Yan Sangzi, the swordsmith and the craftsmen went out to greet them and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty." King Ruluo Xi stood in front of them and said, "All the craftsmen are safe." He then went to help Yan Sangzi himself and said, "Sir, please get up. ." Yan Sangzi stood up and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty." He then led King Ruluo Xi and his civil and military officials into the armory and said: "Your Majesty, these weapons have been forged. Please check them." He ordered the engineer to check them. These weapons are stored in the armory and distributed to officers and soldiers. King Ruluo Xi looked at these forged weapons and said, "Thank you for your hard work, sir." Then he stood in front of the thatched hut and said, "Sir, you still live in this simple thatched hut." Yan Sangzi replied, "Your Majesty. I'm used to it." King Ruluo Xi walked into the thatched house, followed by Yan Sangzi, and all the officials were waiting outside the house. King Ruluo looked around and said: "Sir, I am Gu's military advisor. How can I be so miserable? I ordered a house for you outside the palace to be your residence. I will take you to see it." Yan Sangzi immediately refused and said : "No, Your Majesty. If you live in the private house purchased by Your Majesty, you will not be able to eat well or sleep well. I have a thatched cottage that can accommodate my ministers. I am already satisfied and do not dare to ask for any extravagance. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." King Ruluo had no choice but to take it back and said: "Sir, he lives in poverty and enjoys his life. He is a role model for all officials. This house is still reserved for you. I want to see it whenever you want. I am free at any time."
After Yan Sangzi thanked him, King Ruluo Xi reached out to hold Yan Sangzi's hand, and they rode in a chariot to the school ground, where they stood on the military parade platform and watched the military drill. This is the most sophisticated cavalry in Ruluo West Continent. It is led by a young general. He leads the cavalry on horses, rushes to kill the cockroach soldiers made of straw, and takes off the head with a diagonal slash. The cavalry formed a formation, and the charging archers supplemented it. The horses' hooves leaped, and they bent their bows and fired arrows. The arrows flew out and hit the bull's-eye. They all dismounted and knelt down, saying: "Your Majesty, ten thousand years." King Ruluo spread his arms and said: "Come on, gentlemen!" He asked the civil servant standing next to him, "Which young general is leading the troops well and will have great achievements in the future? Who is he?" The civil servant replied: "It is Ma Cheng who has just been promoted. His son is a flying ant." King Ruluo Xi said: "Heroes don't care about their origins. General Flying Ant comes forward to accept the title." The eunuch stood up and said: "General Flying Ant comes forward to accept the title." General Flying Ant stepped forward. He kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty." The eunuch declared: "Your Majesty has a decree to make General Flying Ant the general of the Hussars, and he will lead the troops to the expedition on a certain day." General Flying Ant kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." Then he stood up and breast-fed King Luo Xi walked down the military parade platform and said: "You are young and promising, Gu is optimistic about you. Being young is good but more impetuous. After going to the border, listen more to Old General Xuanju. General Xuanju has fought with Gu for many years and is calm and experienced. Don't be alarmed, you know." General Flying Ant bowed and said, "The last general already knows." King Ruluo Xi said, "Go down." General Flying Ant retreated.
King Ruluo Xi and Yan Sangzi rode in a chariot and rushed to the palace. On the chariot, King Ruluo Xi faced Yan Sangzi and asked: "Sir, what do you think of my cavalry?" Yan Sangzi said: "Very good, very good. Your Majesty's bold promotion of young generals shows your extraordinary courage. Cavalry training You need to be flexible in actual combat and annihilate enemy troops on the move." King Ruluo Xi said: "Sir, what you are talking about is mobile warfare." Yan Sangzi said: "Exactly." King Ruluo Xi's chariot Enter the royal city, enter the palace, enter the main hall, stand on the main hall, turn around and wave your sleeves and sit down. All the civil and military officials knelt down three times and bowed nine times, shouting: "My king will live forever." King Ruluo Xi was pleased and said: "All the ministers are at peace." All the civil and military officials stood up and stood in sequence. King Ruluo Xi faced the Prime Minister and said: "I see how hard it is for the Prime Minister to handle the affairs of the government, and I can't bear it." Then he faced the ministers and said, "Zuo Tu Ping Yi came forward to listen to the title." Ping Yi came forward and knelt down, Said: "Your Majesty." The eunuch stood up and said: "Zuo Tu Ping Yi, who is calm in dealing with things, has unique insights, and has many talents in governing the country. I have appointed Zuo Tu Ping Yi as the right prime minister to assist the left prime minister in handling major political affairs. I hope that the two ministers will work together to serve as the prime minister." Serve the country." Zuo Tupingyi kowtowed with joy and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty." King Ruluo Xi said: "I love you Pingsheng." Then he turned to Yan Sangzi and said: "Sir, you are resourceful and resourceful, so you are an independent military advisor. I feel aggrieved to stay by Gu Chu's side to make plans for him." Yan Sangzi thanked King Ruluo Xi and said, "I should do my best to be the king and serve the people of Ruluo Xizhou." King Ruluo Xi faced the ministers and said, He said: "There are many horse thefts in the country. The prime minister has drafted a horse banning law, and the right and left are supplementing it." The left and right prime ministers stood up and said: "I will go down to review it and submit it to the king." King Ruluo Xi said. : "The Prime Minister on the right will stay, and the Prime Minister on the Left will step down." The Prime Minister on the Left had a look of disdain on his face, and he couldn't say anything, so he had to step down. King Ruluo West faced the ministers and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Bird Ant, the middle doctor, Male Ant, and the lower doctor, An Ant." The three officials, the upper, middle and lower officials, stood up and said, "Your ministers are here." King Ruluo West faced the three officials. , said: "The three officials are respectively sent to the Ant Tribe, the Termite Tribe, the Ruluo Zhongzhou, and the Ruluo South Continent to open up the sea and land silk trade and purchase foreign war horses. You should handle this matter immediately and submit the charter for the emperor to see. "The three officials kowtowed and said, "I obey your order."
