Chapter 1442: What to Fear
Ximen Yuqing respectfully saluted to Ximen Longao, and said with a straight face: "Father, first of all, Qing'er thinks that the Nanyue Kingdom will definitely not dare to be our opponent of the Xiling Kingdom first. If Hong Qiong concentrates his forces to start a war with our Xiling Kingdom, is he not afraid that General Zhao, who has been holding on to the southern city of Fengnan, will take this opportunity to attack the Nanyue Kingdom and directly approach the Yuecheng Kingdom? ”
Ximen Longao's face turned slightly pale, nodded slightly, and motioned for Ximen Yuqing to continue.
Ximen Yu glanced at Ximen Hucheng lightly, and then swept to the civil and military officials in the hall, and said coldly: "As for the situation in the court of the capital of the Great Sealing Kingdom, this prince will not comment for the time being. However, if we Xiling Kingdom cannot be concentric and unanimous to the outside world. Perhaps, before the Great Feudal Kingdom is in chaos, we will already be in chaos first. ”
The civil and military officials were shocked when they heard this, and when they touched Ximen Yuqing's fierce gaze, they all lowered their heads in unison, and their hearts were worried.
Ximen Yuqing faced the civil and military officials, and continued sternly: "Historically, it is normal for dynasties to change, the prince to seize the throne, and chaos in the court. And the Great Feudal State has remained standing for so many years, because no matter how chaotic their court is, no matter who is the emperor, there is a group of unswerving courtiers who defend the country and the people of the Great Feudal State. Twenty years ago, there was General Feng, and now there is General Zhao, and there are many loyal ministers and good generals who silently stick to the Great Feudal State like General Zhao. Therefore, this prince believes that no matter how chaotic the capital of the Great Feudal State is, no matter how weak the Great Prince Zhou Tianhong is, the Nanyue Kingdom will not be able to move the Great Feudal State in the slightest. Otherwise, Hong Qiong would not have spent so much effort and price to borrow from our Xiling Kingdom. ”
After listening to Ximen Yuqing's analysis, the civil and military officials thought that what Ximen Yuqing said was also reasonable, and they relaxed a little, and once again discussed in a low voice with their colleagues, and nodded their heads to express their agreement with Ximen Yuqing's remarks.
Ximen Yuqing hooked his lips and smiled, turned to look at Ximen Hucheng, and said sincerely: "Uncle Huang, the prestige of your Hucheng general back then was not under the flood sky. Now that none of Hong Qiong's sons have become a weapon, and my three cousins are all great generals who have terrified the enemy, is it not enough to compete with the Nanyue Kingdom with the current strength and morale of our Xiling Kingdom? Why should Uncle Huang grow the morale of others and destroy his own prestige? Not to mention the 200,000 troops, even if Hong Qiong transfers all the 700,000 troops of the Nanyue Kingdom, we are not afraid!"
As soon as Ximen Yuqing said this, the palace applauded, and the civil and military officials suddenly boosted their morale and rejoiced, and cast their admiration and admiration at several generals in the hall, and praised King Qi and his three equally heroic sons again and again.
Above the court, the gloomy and gloomy atmosphere suddenly vanished, and all the officials of the Xiling Kingdom seemed to be full of confidence in their crown prince and several great generals. Even the faces of Ximen Hucheng, Ximen Yuling, and Ximen Yumin couldn't help but show a smug look.
The first to applaud Ximen Yuqing was Ximen Longao, who saw him pat the armrest of the dragon chair and said arrogantly: "Okay! The prince is right, our Xiling country has plenty of grain, grass and weapons, so many loyal civil servants and military generals, and such unique geographical conditions. The time and place are right, we have all accounted for it, what is there to worry about?"
An elderly general stepped forward and said loudly: "What the emperor said is very true, although the old minister is old, but if the army of South Vietnam is pressurized, the old minister is also willing to go into battle again and die on the battlefield, which can be regarded as seeking benevolence and deserving death!"
A civil official also stepped forward and echoed in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, Old General Chen's loyalty and courage are admirable! However, according to the ministers, the current crown prince of Nanyue Kingdom, Lan Ziheng, his future crown princess, and Hong Qiong's precious daughter, Princess Hongde, are all in the palace of our Ximen Mausoleum. Even though Hong Qiong was strong in martial arts and excellent in tactics, the soldiers of the South Vietnamese Kingdom were brave and good at fighting without fear of death. It is inevitable that because their prince and princess are in our hands, they will not dare to mess around. We don't have to worry about the sky. ”
Ximen Hucheng saw that the matter had come to this, the general trend had gone, and there was nothing to say, he took a step forward, bowed to Ximen Long, and said loudly: "The emperor's brother is blessed with all the heavens, and the eternal generations will be born! Thanks to the blessing of the emperor's brother, our Xiling country is rich and safe, and the soldiers are strong and strong, as the general of the Xiling country, the emperor's brother Hucheng and the three dogs are willing to swear to defend the territory of Xiling country, and will never let the enemy country despise it, let alone let Xiling country be violated in any way. ”
Ximen Yuling and Ximen Yumin also stepped forward together, bowed to Ximen Long with Ximen Hucheng, and said in unison: "Swear allegiance!"
Ximen Long Aolong's heart was happy, he laughed, nodded again and again, and said loudly: "Okay! My Xiling Kingdom is united, and no one is afraid! With the crown prince, the imperial brother and the three imperial nephews here, I am very relieved." We, the hundreds of officials of Xiling Kingdom, the monarchs and ministers are united, and we have won the hearts of the people, so why be afraid?"
"The Emperor Shengming!" The hundred officials knelt down, singing and shouting in unison, the sound shook the sky, and even the Jiangtian and the gale outside the hall were also excited.
Gale originally wanted to quietly approach the court and wait for the opportunity to transmit the news to Ximen Yuqing. However, not long after he came, he was discovered by Jiang Tian.
Jiang Tian hurriedly stopped the gale, and after listening to the gale wind's intention, he pondered for a moment, still shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "It's useless for you to go in now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't get out at all at this moment." Moreover, if someone with a heart knows about it, wouldn't it be even more worth the loss to criticize His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Her Royal Highness Princess Wan in this way? Let's wait for a while, and when the atmosphere in the court eases up a bit, I will find a way to go in and report the matter to His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
Gale couldn't, so he had to nod his head and wait anxiously outside the hall with Jiang Tian. Fortunately, the gale did not wait too long, and the laughter of Ximen Longao and the singing and drinking of hundreds of officials came from the hall.
Jiang Tian was about to make an excuse to enter the hall to report the matter to Ximen Yuqing, when he saw that Ximen Yuqing had already taken the lead in walking out of the hall quickly.
Ximen Yuqing has been thinking about Lin Wan in his heart, worried about her cold poison attack. Before in the court, he was already anxious, and his words were extremely polite, so the two factions did not give in to each other and disputed.
Later, seeing that he really couldn't leave, Ximen Yuqing settled down and said the words that elevated Ximen Hucheng and his three sons, blocking the mouths of Ximen Hucheng's faction and ending this controversy.
As soon as Ximen Longao announced his retirement from the court, Ximen Yuqing immediately saluted Ximen Longao and hurriedly retreated, and walked out first.
