The strongest nine thousand years old
Chapter 99: The Temptation of Splitting the Land and Becoming a King
It was not until the next morning that Yu Wenrou fell into a deep sleep, with tears still lingering in the corners of her eyes.
Chen Dong kissed her face and sighed heavily.
It is most difficult to accept the kindness of a beautiful woman.
Even a strong kidney cannot bear it.
He paused for a while, packed up a little, and went to Yuwen's house again.
Compared to the last time I was rejected.
This time, Chen Dong was treated as a guest of honor.
Yuwen Qing accompanied him and Yuwen Wuji met him in person.
Chen Dong also saw the true most powerful person in Dayan.
My first reaction was a bit of disappointment.
The most powerful minister, that’s it?
His hair and beard were all white, he was dressed very casually, and he had a smiling face, just like an old man you could see everywhere on the street.
But Yu Wen Wuji's eyes were very bright, as brilliant as stars, as if they could reflect people's hearts.
"I'm very disappointed. I think I'm very ordinary." Yuwen Wuji said firmly.
Chen Dong was embarrassed for a moment, "Master Yuwen is still strong and powerful despite his age, and he is truly a role model for our generation."
Yuwen Wuji raised his hand and said, "This may work for the little emperor, but it won't work for me. Tell me, what did the little emperor ask you to do?"
Chen Dong was silent for a moment, then made his intention clear, "I'm here for the Empress. The Empress is caught between His Majesty and the head of the Yuwen family, and has been crying all day long."
Yuwen Wuji laughed, "You are a loyal person. It is worth it that Rou'er has been so kind to you for the past three years."
"I will always remember how good the queen has been to me. That's why I want to have a deep chat with the head of the Yuwen family." Chen Dong said.
"What are the little emperor's conditions?" Yuwen Wuji picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Chen Dong glanced at Yuwen Qing and said, "Split the land and make him king."
The tea that Yu Wen Wuji had just drunk suddenly splashed out, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.
Yuwen Qing clenched his fists even more, looking extremely excited.
There is a world of difference between being crowned a king and being crowned a king by splitting the land.
The latter means that the Yuwen family can cede land and establish their own country!
Yuwen Wuji pulled his beard excitedly and asked in a trembling voice: "Did he really say that?"
"Your Majesty certainly has conditions." Chen Dong said.
Yuwen Wuji quickly calmed down. That's right. Dividing the land and becoming a king is simply a betrayal of one's ancestors. If the little emperor did this, he would not only be criticized, but also recorded in the history books of future generations.
“As long as it’s not excessive, I will agree to it.” Yu Wen Wuji said in a deep voice.
"Establish a navy and go overseas." Chen Dong said.
"Please go back." Yuwen Qing ordered them to leave with a gloomy face.
In order to "become king", he enthusiastically formed a navy, but after sending people out to sea for a tour, he realized that it was a sinkhole.
Three ships, nearly a hundred people.
Only one boat and a dozen people returned.
There are not only terrible waves and storms on the sea, but also unknown diseases and elusive pirates.
Yuwen Qing has now given up the idea of forming a navy.
Yuwen Wuji was more sophisticated and did not rush to express his opinion. Instead, he asked, "What is going on overseas?"
"Gold, slaves, whatever you want." Chen Dong said.
Yuwen Qing sneered: "Why don't you go?"
"I would like to go, but His Majesty won't let me!" Chen Dong spread his hands helplessly.
He looked serious and didn't seem to be faking it.
Yuwen Wuji frowned and said, "Please tell me in detail, Eunuch Chen."
Ever since Yan Yunzheng mentioned the Hundred Schools of Thought, Chen Dong went to the Classics Room to look up information in his spare time. What he saw was not only the Hundred Schools of Thought, but also world history.
"There are small countries overseas such as Fusang, Annan, and Jiaozhi. These small countries have only one state, Dayan. However, the emperor is far away, and even Your Majesty cannot reach the king in such a place." Chen Dong said, "The head of the Yuwen family is a smart man. He should know how to choose whether he is a local lord or a powerful official in the court."
Dayan was the Celestial Empire. In the eyes of the people of Dayan, people overseas were all barbarians who were uncivilized.
Even the Northern Barbarian Imperial Court and the Thirty-Six Kingdoms in the Western Regions were regarded as barbarians by Dayan, let alone the isolated islands overseas.
What Chen Dong said touched upon Yu Wen Wuji's blind spot in knowledge.
Yuwen Wuji subconsciously looked at Yuwen Qing, who frowned and said, "Dad, the three large ships I sent out did find out that there are many small islands and countries overseas. However, small countries have few people, so it's not worth mobilizing our forces."
Yuwen Wuji had a plan in mind, and smiled at Chen Dong, "Eunuch Chen, you have come here to help me solve my doubts. Please tell His Majesty that Dayan has always been named Yan."
Chen Dong's heart moved, Yuwen Wuji had already made it clear.
"This trip was not in vain." Chen Dong was secretly happy. He bowed to Yuwen Wuji and said, "I will convey every word to Your Majesty."
Yuwen Wuji nodded with a smile.
"Someone, bring some specialties to Eunuch Chen."
The Yuwen family's housekeeper came over immediately and handed a silver note to Chen Dong. Chen Dong glanced at it and couldn't take his eyes off it.
Ten thousand taels!
"Damn! My future father-in-law is really generous. He just gave me ten thousand taels casually!" Chen Dong was shocked.
Yuwen Wuji smiled calmly. The Yuwen family didn't have much else, but a lot of money. A mere ten thousand taels was a drop in the bucket.
"Master Yuwen is indeed a charming man. I have delivered your message and will take my leave now." Chen Dong put away the banknote and couldn't wait to report the good news to Yan Yunzheng.
"Qing'er, see Eunuch Chen off." Yuwen Wuji ordered.
Although Chen Dong was a popular figure among the emperor and brought this important news, he was not worthy of Yuwen Wuji's personal escort. Yuwen Qing was already giving him face by going to see him off.
After sending Chen Dong to the door, Yuwen Qing turned and left.
Chen Dong stopped him, "General Yuwen, there is something I want you to solve."
Yu Wenqing frowned and said, "Speak."
"The Jinyiwei were escorting the imperial examination papers, but they were robbed by a black-clad swordsman in Honghuaji. Are you the black-clad swordsman?" Chen Dong stared at Yuwen Qing's eyes.
Yuwen Qing said disdainfully: "Does my Yuwen family need to take the imperial examination if they want to become officials?"
With a cold snort, Yuwen Qing strode into the inner house.
…………
"If it's not him, who else could it be?" Yan Yunzheng frowned and thought hard.
Chen Dong returned to Yan Yunzheng's bedroom and immediately reported the matter to her.
Yan Yunzheng's reaction was exactly the same as Chen Dong's.
"Although Yuwen Qing is arrogant, what he said is true." Chen Dong said helplessly.
"Let's put aside the matter of the black-clad swordsman and talk about splitting the land and becoming king." Yan Yunzheng stared at Chen Dong with a serious face, "The whole world belongs to the king. How can you make such a promise? Do you still take me seriously? Your promise to me doesn't count?"
Chen Dong sat down next to Yan Yunzheng, counting on his fingers and said, "Let me analyze it for you. First, is your strength inferior to that of the Yuwen family? Second, does the overseas island not belong to the territory of Dayan?"
These two questions left Yan Yunzheng speechless.
"In this case, why not be generous to others?" Chen Dong spread his hands, "If you send the Yuwen family away, you can better manage the land of Dayan. Moreover, the kingdom that the Yuwen family has established overseas also needs you, the emperor, to recognize and confer it, which is equivalent to expanding the territory of Dayan."
"I really don't understand why you're reacting so strongly to this good thing that kills two birds with one stone?"
Yan Yunzheng felt that what Chen Dong said made sense, but he also felt that something was wrong.
Chen Dong didn't care about anything and hugged Yan Yunzheng, "I've relieved a worry for you, do you want to express your gratitude?"
His hand slid down Yan Yunzheng's cheek and pressed on her heart.
