Chapter 166: To help? or not to help
Feng Shanyue was stunned, she couldn't directly tell the lord of the country that Zhao was Wu Ding, right? She suddenly remembered what the high priest had said to her, so she changed her words: "Father, if we support Ming Zhao to ascend to the throne of Shang Jun, he will definitely treat the Fire Phoenix Kingdom differently in the future, isn't this good?"
The Lord of the Kingdom shook his head, "We, the Fire Phoenix Country, have always maintained the position of loyal ministers, and whoever ascends to the throne will be loyal to whomever we are. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIt's not a good thing for us to meddle in the struggle for the throne casually. ”
"But Ming Zhao is indeed a Ming Jun, if he is supported to become a Shang Jun, the people in this world will be better off. ”
"Yashi, we can't even take care of the people of the Fire Phoenix Kingdom, can we still take care of the people of the world? That's Shang Jun's business. Besides, whether this Ming Zhao is a Ming Jun or not, I can't tell at this time. ”
"How come? He is very kind, and he can also understand the sufferings of the people, and even Master Gan says that he is a benevolent talent!"
The lord of the country looked at her suspiciously, "Yashi, you have been talking about how good this Ming Zhao is, are you in love with him?" In his opinion, when a woman is carried away by love, she will blindly believe in how good a person is. In fact, people are complex, and what can be shown to others is often the good side.
"How can there be!" Feng Shanyue hurriedly denied it, but secretly reddened the root of her ears, "I'll just talk about things! If the crown prince of Shang Junli is not good, and he ascends to the position of Shang Jun, it is not a good thing for us in the Fire Phoenix Kingdom! If he is very warlike and raises troops everywhere, then our Fire Phoenix Kingdom will not be able to escape, and we will definitely send troops to support it!"
"But the current prince's reputation is very good!" the lord frowned, "Who told you that he was not good?"
He ...... Is he good?"
Feng Shanyue was stunned, isn't history often written like this? The original crown prince always had such and such problems, and then other brothers could justifiably snatch the throne, such as the Yinren prince who was abolished by Emperor Kangxi.
The lord shook his head, "Daughter, you are still too young! you can't listen to one-sided words and affirm or deny a person." Today's crown prince has grown up under the strict education of the queen since he was a child, and he is a decent person and cautious, but he does not lose the bearing that a prince should have. He is also both civil and military, the last time Shang Jun eliminated the Bian Ren Kingdom, the leader of the army was him, and it only took three days to destroy a country. Such a person, how can you say that he is not qualified to be a merchant king?"
"It's too cruel to destroy a country in three days, isn't it?he'll definitely be a tyrant!" Feng Shanyue said without thinking.
The lord of the country sank his face, "Yashi, have you forgotten what your father told you just now? You can't affirm or deny a person at will, let alone make conclusions about people." For Bian Renguo, he may be a little brutal, but for Dashang, he is a meritorious person who has opened up his territory. Besides, mercy does not command the army, if he is always merciful, such a leader will harm his own country's army!"
At this time, Feng Shanyue felt that she was still too rash in national affairs, not like the lord of the country who was thoughtful, but Ming Zhao was so helpful, she must help, how to convince the lord of the country?
"Father, what is the status of our Fire Phoenix Kingdom in the Fang Kingdom of the Great Shang?"
"Fang Country is Fang Country, what status can it have?" the country lord smiled and shook his head, "We are not a Great Shang clan, because our ancestors are the heroes of Great Shang, so we were given this land." No matter what happens in the future, the Fire Phoenix Kingdom will always be a courtier of the Great Shang, pay tribute on time, obey the dispatch, and when needed, the Great Shang Kingdom will also help us. ”
"I don't think it's that simple. What if in the future Shang Jun wanted to take back the power of all the countries and unify all of them himself? Then then his father might not be a lord of the country, but a magistrate! At that time, he would replace whoever he wanted to be a magistrate. Isn't my father afraid that one day he will be an ordinary person?" "In history, there have been endless cases of kings taking over local powers, although the Shang Dynasty does not seem to have such a thing, but it does not prevent Feng Shanyue from using it to scare the lord.
"It's impossible. The lord of the country was not frightened at all, "The land of the Great Shang is vast, and the Shang monarch cannot govern it alone." Instead of bothering to manage it himself, it is better to divide it into Fang Guo, let Fang Guo manage it himself, and then pay tribute. ”
Feng Shanyue shook her head, "Father, leaving aside the matter of Ming Zhao, I don't think Shang Jun trusts Fang Guo as much as you said. When he was sick this time, why did he rush to recruit the lords of all the countries into Yindu, wasn't he afraid that Fang Guo would take the opportunity to rebel? I even wondered if he would fake his illness and then summon the lords of the country to Yindu, put you under house arrest, and then blackmail all the countries to hand over power!"
The face of the lord of the country changed, although he has been defending the great business, but in fact, in recent years, the king of Shang has become more and more stupid, and the will issued is unreasonable, and there is indeed a suspicion of weakening the strength of the country.
Feng Shanyue saw that her words seemed to work, and hurriedly said, "If my father can't decide who to support as a merchant for the time being, then at least he can help bring Ming Zhao into Yindu, right?"
"How do you bring it?"
"Let him pretend to be your entourage, and after entering Yindu, he will go about his own affairs and will not involve you. ”
"Well...... this"
"Father, you can help, it's just a small thing, and you don't need to do anything. And I will tell him not to tell him about you bringing him into Yindu, so what happens to him in the future has nothing to do with you. If he succeeds, he will naturally think of you. Is that okay?"
The lord of the country thought about it, but he just brought people into Yindu, but it was not a big problem, so he nodded. Feng Shanyue was very happy, and after a night of saliva, she finally achieved the first step. As for whether the lord of the country will stand on Ming Zhao's side, it depends on the contact between the two sides in the future. However, she is confident that the lord of the country will definitely stand on Ming Zhao's side.
"Okay, hurry up and go back to rest, tomorrow morning morning, I will announce the matter of your prison country!"
"Yes!"
The next day, the lord of the kingdom announced his decision in the morning court, which immediately caused an uproar. Except for the high priest and Yu Shuai, who knew Feng Jiu's true identity, they were relatively calm, and the other ministers were very shocked, and they all came out to ask the lord of the country to choose another supervisor.
"What's the matter? My daughter is the princess of this Fire Phoenix Country, and she has my blood on her body, so she is qualified and responsible for this country!" The attitude of the lord of the country is very tough, and it is completely different from the usual attitude of being humble and accepting advice.
The lord of the country looked at the few courtiers who insisted that Feng Shanyue could not be allowed to supervise the country, and smiled, "You want the prince to supervise the country, right?"
Old ministers, you look at me, I look at you, they don't dare to speak, they all know that since they know the prince's cowardly performance in the rebellion of King Yiyang, the lord of the country has been very disappointed in the prince.
"The old minister just thinks it's not appropriate for a woman to be in charge of the country!" said one of them, stubbornly.
"Woman, then may I ask, a woman who repelled the 5,000 soldiers and horses of the Quchi Kingdom with a small stratagem, and also captured 5,000 excellent war horses, is she qualified to supervise the country?"
