Reborn group favorite: The prince and I are enemies

"I want to annex Northern Qi directly."

Chang Sun Tao spoke these few short words with great force.

Lu Mingyu only needed to take one look to know how determined he was.

Lu Mingyu was silent for a moment, then he spoke: "If you ask me what I think about this matter, then I will tell you that as long as the decision is made after careful consideration, there is no right or wrong. It only depends on how we implement it and ensure that it goes smoothly."

"If you ask me what I think of your idea, I will tell you that I believe in your decision and believe that this is the result of your weighing of the pros and cons. I naturally support you."

Chang Sun Tao smiled and said, "You don't want to ask me why?"

Lu Mingyu was busy with the work at hand at a leisurely pace, and said with a smile:

"What is there to consider? It's simply because Northern Qi is weak now, and we can take it down in one fell swoop. In this way, we don't have to worry about it recuperating and then continuing to counterattack the Qin Dynasty."

"Let me calculate. If Northern Qi wants to be able to counterattack the Qin Dynasty, it will take at least ten years. If it wants to pose a threat to the Qin Dynasty again, it will take at least twenty years."

"Twenty years later, one of our children will be in power. We originally agreed not to annex Northern Qi easily. Now that you have changed your mind, it must be for our child."

"Parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run. You suddenly changed your mind, probably for the sake of our children not having to endure the pain of internal and external troubles in the future."

Chang Sun Tao stared at Lu Mingyu: "The one who knows me best is Yan Yan."

After a pause, he continued, "The reason I want to hear your opinion is mainly because I am not sure whether it is a good idea to do everything for them."

Lu Mingyu said: "The problem of Northern Qi has a long history and has accumulated deep problems. It will be solved sooner or later. Whether you want to annex it now or in the future, it will take a long time to digest it."

"Issues between ethnic groups are more difficult than social issues. We need to spend a long time to get them to learn our culture, recognize our culture, and finally accept our culture."

"But this process often takes decades, hundreds of years, or even thousands of years. Your annexation of Northern Qi now is just taking advantage of the enemy's weakness while the army is strong, saving our children from having to do one less thing in the future."

"Besides, it is more cost-effective to do it now than in the future. After all, our Great Qin is now strong and powerful, while Northern Qi is about to decline. It is easier to do it now than in twenty years, and there are still many benefits."

Chang Sun Tao agreed: "You are right, these are some of the factors I considered."

Lu Mingyu smiled and said, "But you still have concerns, right?"
