Chapter 65: Persuasion
65 persuasion pushes and rewards ah!!
Xi Fei looked at Ji Xi's inability to see the situation, worried, with tears in her eyes, and said emotionally: "Master Hou, do you still remember what you promised when the concubine hung the lamp and persuaded her that night?" You promised your concubines to care about the common people and put the people first, how could you do such a reckless thing today, didn't you violate the promise of the day? ”
Ji Xi felt sorry for Xi Fei, stepped forward and stretched out her hand to hug her, and said affectionately: "Zhai'er, why do you say that? Everything I do now is for the sake of the people of this kingdom. You are the mother of the country, and even more so, my wife, you have suffered humiliation, how can you stop there. If I don't do anything, even if you don't say it, how will the people of this world look at me, and how will people from other countries think of me, won't they all think that the lord of this country is a coward, and his wife is disgraced but indifferent, doesn't he want me to be reprimanded by the people of the world? ”
Xi Fei shook her head, Ji Xi's incomprehension made her anxious, and said seriously: "Master Hou, you still haven't seen it clearly." How many big countries are coveting our country, but everyone speculates that the heart is strong, and until now no country dares to move troops without authorization, in case a move accidentally pushes its country to the wind. Now for the sake of the bad things of the concubines, the Hou Ye has mobilized the people, and he does not hesitate to go south to borrow the power of Chu Zi to crusade against Cai Guo, and it is difficult for the concubines to atone for their sins even if they die! Thinking that Chu Zi is the most ruthless, how many countries have been conquered in the past ten years, all of them have been occupied in the southern territory, and now that Xiong Yun is on the throne, how can he not worry about the fertile land in the northern territory. It's just that this northern leader is the birthplace of the Zhou Dynasty after all, and there are many big countries and the power is too strong. After all, they are all vassal states, if Chu Zi comes here to conquer and all the vassal states unite to resist foreign enemies, Chu Zi will definitely not benefit. That Xiong Yun is not a stupid person, he can still understand the situation of the Martial King for decades, so he has never dared to act rashly. But Master Hou, you borrowed troops like this, didn't you clearly give Chu Zi an excuse to march into the Northern Territory? ”
Xi Fei stretched out her hand to caress Xi Fei's cheeks, wiped away the tears on her face, and said softly: "Zhai Er, you think too much, although this Chu Zi's army is strong, but it has not been broken in the past few years, this time to attack Cai Guo in response to the love of Ben Hou, he may not have the strength to attack my Xi Country afterwards!"
Xi Fei shook her head lightly, tightened her lips, and said slowly with tears in her eyes: "Master Hou, do you really think that there is no trouble in inviting Chu Zi to borrow troops this time?" This strategy can not only save life, but also help Chu. Breaking through the Northern Territory has always been Chu Zi's ambition, but according to the world, what is lacking is only that opportunity, and now Hou Ye, you have provided him with this opportunity, let me ask, will Xiong Yun give up? If you ask him to borrow troops, how do you know how many troops he has brought, and if he breaks the Cai State, who dares to guarantee that Xiong Zhen will not scold other countries, and whose head will this hatred of breaking the country be recorded, it is naturally me who will stop the country. This matter can be big or small, if it is small, it is just the fall of Cai, and if it is big, it is likely to affect the entire Northern Territory, and who will bear it if it is affected at that time. ”
Xi Fei's words were reasonable and well-founded, and the analysis was very thorough, which made Ji Xi and Yuan Hong who were present fall into deep thought.
Yuan Hong listened to Concubine Xi's admonition, admired Concubine Xi very much in his heart, and became more and more guilty of his behavior, all of which he had thoughtlessly agreed to this inappropriate suggestion, and his wife's worries were far greater than his.
"Master Hou, if I kill Cai alone, although I am defeated, it is righteous, and I am fighting for shame, and I will also win honor. But if you borrow troops from Chuzi, you will only be more humiliated if you lose, and if you win, you will only expand the trivial matter, and if you are a little worse, you will not only offend Southern Chu, but also break off diplomatic relations with other vassal states in the north, lest you be caught in the middle of the attack! ”
Xi Fei's words are indeed reasonable, and Ji Xi also agrees, and can't help but have some doubts about her decision, and slowly said: "What Madame said is indeed reasonable, Ben Hou wants to think about this issue carefully, it is indeed a little hasty!" ”
Seeing that Ji Xi was no longer so reckless, Concubine Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, although she didn't make a final decision, but at least she had to think twice, and she was relieved, "Master Hou, it's good that you are willing to re-examine this matter, so that it won't be in vain for me to come to ......" Concubine Xi said these words in a row, I don't know why, her heart flooded, and she squatted on the ground and vomited, Ji Xi was startled when she saw this, and quickly found the imperial doctor.
Ji Xi was a little excited, and stood by the bed, holding Xi Fei's hand tightly, the joy in her eyebrows and eyes was overflowing, and she grinned: "Zhai'er, you are pregnant, and Benhou has a child again!" ”
Xi Fei looked at the person beside the bed, smiled happily at this time, and completely let go of the constraints of the lord of the country, stretched out her hand to caress Ji Xi's face, and said softly: "Master Hou, I am pregnant with your child again, are you happy?" ”
Ji Xi nodded sincerely and said, "Happy, of course happy, Zhai Er is pregnant with a child, how can Ben Hou be unhappy?" ”
Saying that, Xi Fei's eyes revealed a trace of sadness, and she said quietly: "But I'm not happy!" Mrs. Deng's child will be in labor soon, but Master Hou, you are going to fight Cai, after being born, what you saw was not the scene of Shengping, but the flames of war, isn't it sad to be born like this? I wondered what it would be like for my child to be born. If it's still like this, then fortunately not! ”
Ji Xi was shocked, and hurriedly stopped and shouted: "Zhai'er, how can you say such a thing, the last child was not related to me, and now God has mercy on us and has given us a second child, how can we miss it?" ”
Xi Fei sighed: "But this war will last for a day or two, once it gets up, there will be casualties, or a month or a year, I don't want my child to be born to see the fall, the whole country mourns for those dead and wounded, what I want to give him is a home, if you can't give it, it's better not to!" So...... Master Hou, can you promise me, don't cut Cai, don't borrow soldiers, even if it's for your children, okay? ”
Ji Xi really couldn't bear to look at the sadness in Concubine Xi's eyes, sighed lightly, and said: "It's up to you, don't cut Cai, don't borrow soldiers, you can raise the fetus with peace of mind?" ”
Seeing that Ji Xi finally agreed to herself, Xi Concubine smiled with relief, maybe she was too tired in her heart, and after lying on the bed for a while, Xi Fei fell into a deep sleep.
Ji Xi saw that Xi Concubine was asleep, so she left quietly, and when she walked out of the door, Yuan Hong was standing there.
Yuan Hong saw Ji Xi come out and asked, "Master Hou, what do you say about this war Cai?" ”
Ji Xi calmed his eyes, stared ahead, and said slowly: "It's still the same!" ”
"Ahh This decision surprised Yuan Hong, "But Master Hou, didn't you just talk to your wife......
Ji Xi glanced at Yuan Hong with cold eyes, and said, "You also know that it was said to Mrs., and you said it in order to reassure Mrs., and you also believe it." This Cai Xianwu insulted my wife, and this evil breath had to be released. Originally, I was dissuaded by my wife's kind words, and I had some doubts, but now that my wife is pregnant, if this matter is not done, won't my Ji Xi's child be laughed at in the future, saying that his father is an incompetent coward! ”
Yuan Hong clenched his fists and persuaded: "Master Hou, I didn't think about it before, but now that I have heard Madame's good words, I also feel that this matter is too risky and the potential threat is very great, after thinking about it, I think it's better not to!" ”
"Why do you say the same now, if you don't want to go out, I'll find someone else!"
Seeing that Ji Xi did not change, Yuan Hong hurriedly said: "Master Hou, think twice!" ”
Ji Xi stopped Yuan Hong's words, gritted his teeth and said word by word: "If you want Ben Hou to swallow this breath, you can't die!" Don't say anything more to anyone, Ben Hou has paid attention. ”
Yuan Hong watched Ji Xi leave, leaving no room for anything, and sighed in his heart: The lord of my country has a child's temper, but the holy order cannot be violated, I hope God will have mercy on me and keep me safe! I wish Mrs. will give birth to a dragon son as soon as possible, and there is still some hope for the future of Xiguo, but if it is really as Mrs. said, I am afraid that it will be powerful!
