Liu Yu slept comfortably, got up and took a shower, saw that Chu Yuan was still asleep in a very sleepy state, and didn't want to wake him up, but considering that there were some important things to discuss with Su Tao, if Chu Yuan It's not good for Yuan to wake up and hear it.

It happened that Wang Gougou had prepared ginger soup to warm his body and brought it up. Liu Yu beckoned and called him over, leaned over his head and sniffed it: "Ginger soup? Newly brewed?"

Wang Gougou was about to nod his head, but he was horrified to see Liu Yu take out a small porcelain bottle from his belt, pull out the stopper and pour a lot of suspicious white powder into the ginger soup.

What do you mean, this is the rhythm of killing people?As the person who served Liu Yu personally, Wang Gougou knew very well that this was definitely not the tonic that Liu Yu drank by himself, and it was probably for Chu Yuan.

Liu Yu raised his eyelids and glanced at his expression, and said with a half smile but not a smile: "What are you thinking, this is the soothing powder that I bought with Ermao a few days ago, it can prolong sleep time, increase sleep quality, and improve living standards .”

Wang Gougou didn't believe this kind of cheating explanation at all, but he didn't dare to ask him in detail, so he could only say embarrassingly: "Then you give it to Mr. Chu?"

After hearing this, Liu Yu was stunned for a moment, and asked rather puzzled: "Why did I send it to Chu Yuan? Isn't it you who do the job of serving people like this?"

Wang Gougou was also stunned. Liu Yu didn't expect Liu Yu to be flirtatious at all. He looked down at the glass of ginger soup he was holding in his hand, and swallowed: "Yes. .”

After he finished answering, he saw that Liu Yu didn't pay attention to him at all, and just lowered his head to correct the memorial. He felt a lot of psychological pressure, and walked tremblingly to the side hall. He saw that all the clothes were scattered beside him, and he didn't even know his hands and feet. Where did you put it.

Wang Gougou didn't dare to open the curtain, and stood far away and said, "Master Chu, are you up yet?" There was no answer for a while, Wang Gougou barked several times, only to see a shadowy person inside. The figure sat up.

Chu Yuan wrapped himself in a quilt, supported his sore waist with one hand, and propped up the bed with the other. It took him a while to sit up, looked at the other end of the curtain in embarrassment, and said in a hoarse voice: "Prince Wang ?”

Wang Gougou slightly raised the ginger soup in his hand: "The emperor ordered the second dog to bring you ginger soup to warm your body. Do you want to drink it now?"

Of course, Chu Yuan was embarrassed to let him open the curtain and come in. He hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "If it's not too troublesome, please put it outside, Mr. Wang. I'll tidy it up and go out."

"Okay, remember to drink." Wang Gougou put it on the ground, quietly backed out, stood at the corner connecting the main hall and the side hall, and watched Chu Yuan stick his head out from the curtain to drink the ginger soup. left.

As soon as he returned to the main hall, Liu Yu asked, "Did he drink?"

"Er Gou watched Mr. Chu drink and then fell asleep with his own eyes, and he came out just now." Wang Gougou replied.

Liu Yu was very satisfied with this answer, so he nodded and said: "Let Su Tao come into the palace, I have something to tell him."

So Su Tao came. Seeing Liu Yu's expression, he knew that what he was going to talk about today must be a serious matter, so he subconsciously glanced in the direction of the side hall.

Liu Yu understood, and said, "Don't worry, there is no one else here." He didn't further explain that Chu Yuan was fast asleep in the side hall, and directly used "no one else", although it is not true, but the meaning is not much different.

Su Tao nodded, and agreed: "If you have any orders from the emperor, you can tell me, I will do my best to solve your problems, and I will go through fire and water without hesitation."

Liu Yu repeated the latest news that he got yesterday: "Northern Wei and Rouran are at war?"

Su Tao said seriously: "Back to the emperor, yes, the dispute was initiated by Rouran."

Liu Yu patted the golden-yellow armrest of the dragon chair, held his chin and thought for a while, before he said with deep meaning: "Do you remember that when I ascended the throne, I deliberately had a big fight with the Northern Wei Dynasty?"

Su Tao was keenly aware of the deep meaning behind his words, raised his head and glanced at him quickly, and then said: "At that time, the emperor consolidated his position by virtue of this victory."

This is a big truth, Liu Yu nodded and said: "Exactly, don't you feel that Tuoba Shou's current situation is very similar to the situation when I ascended the throne?"

Both internal and external troubles, when domestic conflicts are sharp, it should be said that Tuobashou's situation is even worse than his time. Although Liu Yu did kill his own father who was in power, most courtiers and people all over the world are against him. This is uninformed.

At any rate, he still has the reputation of righteousness, and the moral condemnation he receives is much lighter, unlike Tuoba Shou, after all, he is plotting to usurp the throne, and his foundation is particularly weak.

Furthermore, taking a step back, Tuoba Tao has worked hard for decades. After all, he is a fairly passable emperor, and he is still very popular among the common people in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

As for Liu Jun, to be honest, even if the world knew that Liu Yu was the murderer of his father, they would not care much at all. This person's reputation is extremely bad.

Liu Yu sneered: "Under such circumstances, the smartest way is to divert the attention of the people and provoke a foreign war before domestic conflicts intensify."

This kind of behavior is not uncommon. External fighting is always higher than internal fighting. The two world wars were more or less related to economic crisis and development obstruction. In each war, the cohesion of the Chinese people can reach the highest peak.

The most obvious and classic case is that the United States immediately chose to send troops to Afghanistan after the September 911 terrorist attacks, in order to gain the cohesion of the American people during World War II.

Su Tao said: "The Rouran Kingdom has already started war against the Northern Wei Dynasty. Although the new emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty did not think of diverting domestic conflicts, it has already achieved the effect of diverting conflicts."

This is a typical representative of Wuxin and willows and willows. As long as the Northern Wei Dynasty is not beaten to the ground this time, even if it suffers a few defeats, it should be said that the advantages will definitely outweigh the disadvantages.

So although Liu Yu enjoyed watching Northern Wei and Rouran dog-eat-dog, but at the same time he was a little regretful. It would have been better if Rouran had fought Northern Wei two months later, and the result would be that neither side would be able to please.

Liu Yu smiled and said: "Since Tuoba Shou didn't know this truth in a short time, you might as well find a way to let him know."

What's the meaning?Su Tao was really dumbfounded by what he said, and he finally understood after a while, and asked tentatively, "Do you hope that the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty will also go to war at this time?"

Liu Yu could see what Su Tao was surprised at a glance, and further explained: "Tuoba Tao will be defeated by that trash of Tuoba Shou, the big reason is that he was defeated by my Great Song army at the border. .”

It was this devastating defeat that caused Tuoba Tao's reputation in the Northern Wei army to plummet. The people could accept the defeat, but they could not accept being defeated so easily. Before this, the cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty had never been insulted like this .

Su Tao's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he almost understood it. He couldn't help raising his voice and said, "You mean to find a way to let the current emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty know that defeating my Great Song is the best way to let him Now is the time to consolidate his position, so he is likely to act on two fronts?"

"Of course, if it wasn't for the fact that I didn't want to conflict with Rouran, the matter wouldn't be so troublesome." Liu Yu sighed, everything was because the strength of the Southern Dynasty and Song Dynasty was the weakest among the three parties, which led to him It takes dexterity to act.

Now can be regarded as the best time to take advantage of the fire and loot. If this opportunity is missed, Rouran will not know how much territory in the Northern Wei Dynasty will be swallowed up by the opportunity.

There are risks, but once successful, the rewards are also considerable. Su Tao also understands the truth of "seeking wealth and wealth in danger", but still finds things a bit tricky: "The situation in the Northern Wei Dynasty itself is not optimistic. Ba Shou intends to avenge his shame as soon as possible, and I'm afraid he won't choose to clash with our country when there is still a war with Rouran?"

Although Tuoba Shou's brain is not good, but I'm afraid it's not so bad. Su Tao also wants to express painfully that although he is capable, he is definitely not so capable.

Liu Yu rubbed his chin: "That's why we have to give him the illusion that there is a big advantage here." If you don't open for three years, you can eat for three years after opening. With his head on, many things will become much easier for him in the future.

Su Tao looked at him and asked, "Big deal?"

"The most urgent thing is to find a way to cause internal chaos in our country, but at the same time not to hurt the country." Liu Yu narrowed his eyes and said with a half-smile, "How about I find someone to rebel?"

Although he said this sentence with a smile, there was a sense of coldness. After Liu Yu finished speaking, he quickly returned to his usual expressionless face: "You said that if I entrust the weight of a country to uncle, uncle will definitely Will you agree?"

Su Tao felt a little cold in his body, and bowed his head without making a sound.

Liu Yu didn't care about his reaction at all, and he held his chin with great interest and said, "Then I will turn my face and deny anyone, never admit that there is such an agreement, and just deal with the Wang family as real treason?"

After he finished speaking, he raised his eyes to look at Su Tao, who suddenly became very well-behaved and didn't dare to say a word. After staring at him for three seconds, he suddenly laughed: "I made a harmless little joke, you don't have to take it seriously. .”

Su Tao didn't know if Liu Yu had really thought of this method of slander, but he knew very well that Liu Yu said this method in order to warn him.

Liu Yu wanted to tell him that the minds of the two were indeed far behind, at least Su Tao understood that even if he killed himself, he would not be able to think of such a way to kill both the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Wang family with one stone.

He didn't dare to say more, he quickly responded, and left the main hall with cold sweat all over his head.
