"Wang Kang, do you know your guilt!"

In the Chuigong Hall, the deep voice of Emperor Zhao sounded,

At this moment, his temperament changed, his face was slightly dark, and he exuded majesty. This is the momentum that only those who have been promoted for a long time can accumulate...

For a moment, the atmosphere was steep,

If ordinary people were afraid, they would be so scared that they bowed and knelt down by this majesty.

But Wang Kang did not react to this. His modernity did not have a deep respect for the imperial power.

Is this going to give yourself a warning?

Wang Kang asked in surprise: "I know the crime, but I don't know what I have committed?"

"The imperial edict I have given you is a five-day period for coming to Beijing. Now you have delayed for five days and refused to obey the imperial edict. What do you want to do?"

Jiang Chengli stared at Wang Kang calmly, but invisibly, he gave people a sense of pressure...

Wang Kang spread his hands, "I just got married, so why do I have to give me a wedding leave!"

"Marriage leave?"

When Emperor Zhao heard this strange words, he was stunned and couldn't smile bitterly for a moment.

He had heard Yuwen Nai say that when the imperial edict was issued, Wang Kang's reaction was not surprising at this moment.

He also knew about Wang Kang's character. This child's character is strange and different from the secular world.

He just wanted to test his reaction... It seems now...

Forget it, Emperor Zhao immediately relaxed and said lightly: "Let me have a walk!"

Then he walked in front,

"yes,"

Wang Kang responded and moved to follow. How could he not see that Emperor Zhao had been pursuing it without intention?

How could I be punished for trouble for transferring myself to Kyoto?

The two walked out of the Chuigong Hall. The father-in-law was shocked when he saw it.

Your Majesty actually went out to wander around with him?

this?

He saw that Wang Kang was wearing only a fifth-rank official. In this Chuigong Hall, he was a second-rank official every day.

Therefore, he was impatient, but he didn't expect that this son would be so kind...

Emperor Zhao walked in front of him with his hands behind his back, without saying a word, and Wang Kang followed him silently.

The two of them were idle, walking on the stone path, with flowers on both sides, the palace maids and eunuchs who passed by bowed their heads and bowed down to greet them,

At this time, Emperor Zhao said casually and asked: "How do you feel about this palace?"

"Does Your Majesty want to hear the truth?"

"certainly,"

Wang Kang said directly: "Like a cage!"

"Why do you say this?"

He didn't seem to react.

"It's actually very simple. Looking at Your Majesty, it's enough to explain,"

Hearing this, Emperor Zhao turned around and looked at Wang Kang in surprise, "Your thoughts are indeed novel."

Then he turned around and sighed, "I have asked many people this question, and the answers are different, but only you describe it the most accurate."

Then he changed his subject, "I have read the argument you made and intend to implement it. The whole people prepare for war in order to inspire the people's hearts, change their appearance, and beware of the coming war..."

"But there is also a problem. Since it is the establishment of an army, it will inevitably require a large amount of military expenditure. How can we support the current deficit in the treasury?"

“It’s very simple,”

Wang Kang smiled and said, "The wool comes from the sheep,"

"Our Zhao State is not a poor country, but most of the financial resources and resources are in the hands of old nobles!"

"The quickest way to fill the treasury is to start with it!"

"A family falls down and the treasury is full!"

After talking, I talked about the fundamental issue.

"So how to completely eradicate the old nobles?" Emperor Zhao asked again.

"Horse, ren, and ren,"

"I'm already using this method," said Emperor Zhao.

Implementing the new policy and supporting the new nobles to fight against the old nobles is actually a kind of alliance.

"Then it depends on whether Your Majesty has the courage," Wang Kang said again.

"What's the meaning?"

"war!"

Wang Kang said in a deep voice: "Civil war, or foreign war!"

"Using tough measures and direct force, those old nobles will eventually resist, and this will face a civil war!"

"Win will be completely solved, once and for all, lose..."

“This is unrealistic,”

Emperor Zhao shook his head and said, "I can't bet on my Zhao family. Moreover, the current Zhao State cannot afford a civil war!"

"Then it's just an invasion,"

Wang Kang said in a deep voice: "Invade other countries, plunder resources, plunder land, and stimulate domestic demand!"

"Of course this is also a big gamble. There is no way to do so, so you can only make such a plan, but this can be brought to others to bet together!"

"You mean?" Emperor Zhao probably understood what Wang Kang meant.

“Everyone cannot get up early without profit.”

Wang Kang smiled and said, "Those old nobles are even more so. Your Majesty can pull these people into the chariot, but they have to see some benefits."

"You can draw cakes. For example, if you occupy this piece of land, you will be sealed to you, and you will also be divided into a portion of the plundered money and goods..."

"And... this war is inevitable. Your Majesty, aren't you ready?"

After hearing this, Emperor Zhao, who had been calm in his face, finally changed a little. His eyes flashed with a flash of shock, and then he said lightly: "What do you mean?"

Is it going to test me?

Wang Kang sneered in his heart and said, "The envoy of Yue State came to ask for compensation and also asked for a dowry from the princess... You must be reluctant!"

"How can I give my own wealth to other countries? But if I don't give it, Yue is now strong. If it doesn't happen, there may be a war..."

"Your Majesty has the courage to fight, but there are very few civil and military officials in the court, and you will not get a response!"

“This is one of them,”

Wang Kang looked at Emperor Zhao and continued: "Secondly, there is a treaty between us and the State of Yue. Although it is a piece of waste paper, it cannot be violated at will."

"It will damage the image of the country and make others say that you will go back on your word and will be unnamed!"

"So what you need most now is an excuse!"

"This is also why His Majesty transferred me to Kyoto, and why he asked me to be the doctor of the host and guest department!"

Wang Kang said word by word: "Because you know my personality... I will definitely not be the kind of person who compromises!"

"You want me to take the first blow, let me lead the way, and let me propose the main battle,"

"In this case, I will bear the final result, and it has nothing to do with you... Am I right?"

After hearing this, Emperor Zhao looked at Wang Kang deeply. It was the first time he met him. After a while, he spoke.

"I really can't imagine that you would have been a notorious prodigal son before..."

"You're right, this is indeed my true intention,"

Jiang Chengli looked into the distance and said in a deep voice: "Three years ago, I signed a treaty for compensation for land cedes and paid tribute for five years, and it has been three years since then!"

"Not only do we pay compensation, we also marry the two princesses!"

"How can you bear such all kinds of things? However, no one in the court dares to propose a battle. It's ridiculous..."

He said, turning around and looking at Wang Kang, "Since you know that if you urge this, you will become the target of public criticism and even bear the infamy... are you still here?"

Wang Kang asked back: "Do I have another choice?"

After a long time, Emperor Zhao spoke, "The outside world criticizes you, but I know your talents. Now I have one last question to ask you!"

Jiang Chengli stared at Wang Kang with his eyes, and said, "Do you have ambition..."
