Chapter 367: Calculation of the vassal states (Part 1)

Let me ask you a question first, and you think about it, because I don’t know the result. Wang Sheng did not express his thoughts directly, but asked the emperor first: If you have the opportunity to annex a vassal state, how much benefit can this be?

Annexing a vassal state. The emperor's eyes widened and almost blurted out: How is it possible? Finally, he had self-control and did not scream.

Manager Zhou also looked like a ghost. Wang Sheng suddenly mentioned such a high-end topic, which made people at a loss. He didn't even have enough preparation, so he was too caught off guard.

You're not kidding? The emperor stared at Wang Sheng's face and asked seriously.

Wang Sheng nodded seriously.

The emperor began to think excitedly. Wang Sheng said so seriously, that must be this possibility. Since he met Wang Sheng, Wang Sheng seemed to have never said anything false. It can be said that words will be fulfilled. He said that there is a possibility of annexing a vassal state, so there must be this possibility.

If a vassal state can be annexed, the emperor can no longer help but be excited. If a vassal state can be annexed, no matter how big or small, the population will increase, the territory will increase, the output will increase, and the emperor's voice will also be transmitted to more places, including the influence of the court, the resettlement of officials, the education of the people, the army, etc., various benefits are endless, making the emperor tremble with excitement.

It's just a possibility, it may not be successful, don't be so excited. Wang Sheng's voice was poured on the emperor's head like a scoop of cold water. Yes, it's just a possibility. What's the excitement here? But it's just a possibility, it's also exciting.

It is very likely that a certain vassal state took the big head, and it was the imperial court's turn to have only a few benefits. Maybe you have to enfeoff a duke out. Wang Sheng continued to remind that if the emperor was in this state, it would affect his judgment. At this time, what Wang Sheng wanted was a calm and wise emperor who could calmly analyze various pros and cons, rather than an emperor who was excited to unify the world in the next moment: unless you have the confidence to destroy a single prince alone, then you can still resist the siege of all the princes.

A circle of sweat appeared on the emperor's head, and the emperor himself was shocked. If he could destroy any prince, would the royal family still use it as a puppet? Isn't this not as strong as that of those bastards, so he had to be controlled and surrounded by a corner of the capital?

Don’t treat you as the emperor. Wang Sheng thought for a while and reminded him: Treat yourself as a prince. When there is an opportunity to annex other princely countries, will you be moved? Will you take action? Is what you get and what you lose worth it? You are the emperor, and you have considered a lot in this regard, so please help me weigh it.

Of course, you have to return to your status as the emperor and then weigh the other side. Let the emperor think from the perspective of the princes, and also let the emperor return to his own position: If there are one or several princes destroying another vassal state, what will be the most beneficial to you?

This time, the emperor heard Wang Sheng's words, touched his chin and frowned and began to think. As for Manager Zhou, he no longer dared to think about this kind of problem. He just lowered his head slightly and served his master to ensure that the sound here would not be heard by the fourth person.

If I had such an opportunity, of course I wouldn't let it go. After thinking for a long time, the emperor raised his head and said: Not to mention destroying a country, it can swallow the other party as a whole. The benefits here are so great that even if I watched by the side, I wouldn't dare to stop it. Blocking people's wealth is like killing parents, let alone this kind of battle to destroy the country?

In the past, those people could only destroy a few families and allow their families to last for hundreds or thousands of years, let alone destroy a country? The emperor was full of covetousness, but he also knew that this was the benefit of a great vassal state, not his own.

Let me tell you about your opportunity and see if there is any opportunity for us. The emperor began to urge Wang Sheng. At this time, he unconsciously called us, as if he really regarded Wang Sheng as his family.

When Wang Sheng heard this title, he glanced at the emperor inadvertently. He didn't know whether he was from the heart or intentional, but it was finally good to have this attitude.

Now all parties want to go to Qianjiedi to build camps and seize the initiative. Wang Sheng did not hide at this time and expressed his ideas: But entering Qianjiedi requires a large number of masters. Although there are too many masters now, if you want to ensure that there are no problems in Qianjiedi, it will be troublesome if you have fewer people.

The emperor nodded. He had been worried before about how to build a camp in Qianjiedi. Fortunately, the emperor did not want to be so anxious, so the major vassal states would not pay attention to it. Therefore, it would be possible to build it a little slower and have less staff in advance. However, it would be better for the emperor to go too far, which does not mean that the princes would not compete.

In order to seize the initiative, maybe there are a few vassal states with poor backgrounds and will send their own masters in. Wang Sheng continued: But there are not masters out of thin air. If there are too many people there, there will inevitably be fewer people staying at home to keep a guard. Moreover, the environment of Qianjidi is special, and the Niao can't do it. Even if there are some things on both sides, they will not know each other in a short time.

This is our opportunity. When the emperor's eyes lit up, he immediately understood Wang Sheng's thoughts. Then he immediately realized the mistake and quickly corrected: This is the opportunity for other vassal states.

The masters were sent to Qianjiedi, and the interior was naturally empty. If other masters took advantage of the situation at this time, as long as they plan carefully, they might be able to capture all the people in the capital. As long as they are determined and the strength of the princes who take action is strong enough, it is no problem to annex a small prince state. Then, they will turn their hands and catch all the masters who build camps in Qianjiedi in one go. Who dares to say no?

If you really reach that situation, the emperor can only watch it. But just now, Wang Sheng said that there should be benefits from the emperor, where should we find this?

There must be a reason to destroy the country, right? Wang Sheng laughed: Is it true that he disrespects the emperor's orders or disrespects the emperor? The princes are justified in conquering the heavens, rightly, isn't it?

The emperor instantly understood what Wang Sheng meant. Since the other party wanted to take the title of the emperor, he had to bring the benefits. The emperor would have to pay a duke at that time because he helped the emperor vent his anger. In this matter, the emperor could also pretend to be a puppet, which made people see a weak emperor, let the princes knead the reasons, and take advantage and have a reputation. It was simply wonderful.
