Donghai Palace, Jiang Zhen's dormitory.

Jiang Zhen sat on the bed, his face was full of iron, and beside him was the queen Yun Jing with an angry face.

A young girl in a pothos shirt knelt down, several scars on her cheeks ruined her handsome face, and she burst into tears, "Your Majesty, please be sure to make decisions for the Yun family!" ”

"Ling'er, you get up first, this matter must be explained to your Yun family!" Jiang Zhen said comfortingly.

The girl stood up, tears rolling in her eyes.

"Beimeng is really deceitful! Your Majesty, don't let Mu Jun leave Linzi! He can insult my Yun family today, and tomorrow he will ride on the top of the king's head! Yun Jing spoke angrily.

Jiang Zhen looked at Jiang Fu, who was fighting on the side, and asked, "Fu'er, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Jiang Fu is very disgusted with this unbeatable third prince of Beimeng, but he is a very rational person, Beimeng is now in full swing, and after taking Dachu, he let the world know how strong its military strength is, and now he is sharpening his knife against the other five countries.

The thought in his heart was that he must not let Beimeng find any excuse to start a war towards the East China Sea!

For a while, he didn't have any good solutions, but Jiang Zhen asked him that he could only take a step forward and express his opinion, "Beimeng's deceptive move is both reasonable and unexpected. ”

"Oh? How so? ”

"Father, we originally thought that Beimeng wanted to take Xu Changsha as a puppet to form a situation where the two Xu were fighting each other and quickly stabilize the Chu State. Then take the opportunity to raid Minzhou. But I found that as long as a discerning person can see the false trick, Beimeng will not only do such a plan! ”

"Looking back, Beimeng sent Mu Jun over, Mu Jun is definitely not a straw bag. Why did he commit such a provocative act when he first arrived in the East China Sea? It's nothing more than trying to provoke our East China Sea and find an excuse to send troops to us! ”

"From this point of view, the military strength of Northern Mongolia is only afraid that it is not far from the heyday of Great Xia! At least, there is no pressure to open up the two battlefields of Dachu and Donghai. ”

After Jiang Cheng finished speaking, he took a small step back, he had already said his thoughts, and everything else was left to Jiang Zhen to decide.

Jiang Zhen pondered, his eyes looked out, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart.

After a few breaths, he said to the queen, "You take Ling'er down first, and let the imperial doctor heal her wounds." ”

Yun Jing naturally understood what Jiang Zhen meant, women should not be involved in this national event, she just needs to be the master of the Yun family, so she said: "That child retired first!" ”

So he got up, saluted Jiang Zhen with Yunling, and left the dormitory.

"Fu'er, if Beimeng starts a war with me in the East China Sea, what are the odds of winning?"

"Father, the military strength of Great Chu is slightly weaker than that of my East China Sea, but it has also struggled to support it for three years. Throughout the three-year battle, the Northern Mongolian Third Route Army suddenly attacked, and only lost the two cities of Tuyang and Qingshui. ”

"When the state of Chu reacted, organized the defense line, and borrowed troops from our East China Sea, it was difficult for Beimeng to advance an inch, and he was stuck in Dangyang! Of course, if it weren't for the fact that Dangyang's guard Chen Jianzhong was framed a year ago, and the King of Chu didn't replace Chen Jianzhong, Dangyang would have been able to hold on for at least five years! ”

"It is precisely because of the loss of Dangyang that the Chu army has no fighting spirit, and Beimeng can quickly take so many cities in a sweeping manner!"

Jiang Wei paused, his face began to stretch, and he continued: "It's just that the Northern Mongolian Iron Cavalry seems to be sweeping the world, but they are all powerful in encounters and are not good at attacking cities! Therefore, Erchen believes that once Beimeng sends troops to our East China Sea, as long as there is no change of generals, the entire East China Sea will unite as one, and Beimeng will not want to achieve victory within ten years! ”

Jiang Zhen nodded again and again when he heard this, "The widow also thinks so, but you also know that our East China Sea is composed of strong and powerful, and it is difficult to unite as one. ”

At this time, Jiang Zhen's eyes showed a strong sense of worry, although he was the lord of the East China Sea, he was not in power. The army of the East China Sea was divided into three factions, one was loyal to the royal family, and the other two were in the hands of the Marquis of Minzhou and the Five Monarchs of the East China Sea.

"If my father has the idea of fighting with Beimeng, then the power in the army must be fully held in our hands, otherwise we have little chance of winning!"

Jiang Zhen frowned deeply, "How easy is it to talk about?" The most powerful army in the East China Sea is the Minzhou Army, but the Minzhou Army is in the hands of Wei Ping. Linzi is so far away from Minzhou, our hands can't reach through it at all! For so many years, Wei Ping has never been to Linzi to see him, I'm afraid he will be antipathetic early! ”

Jiang Fu shook his head and expressed his opinion, "With Erchen's understanding of Minzhou, although Qin Xu will not approve of his father's battle with Beimeng, if it really starts, he will not stand idly by!" I'm afraid that the five monarchs of the East China Sea will have different thoughts! ”

"Let's look at Mu Jun's attitude first, if you can, you won't fight......" Jiang Zhen didn't seem to be willing to go to war with Beimeng in his heart.

"What should the Yun family's affairs do?"

"Let Mu Jun hand over the murderer!"

Jiang Fu shook his head, with a worried look on his face, and said, "I'm afraid that Mu Jun won't." ”

When night came, the Linzi city gate was brightly lit, and Mu Jun simply camped at the city gate, with soldiers from Beimeng on the third floor and soldiers from the East China Sea on the outer three floors. So many people gathered that the people could not enter or leave the city, and they had to go far to the other three gates.

Mu Jun was lying on the rocking chair, and the maid pinched his shoulders for him, looking like he was enjoying it.

"Your Highness, do we really have to wait for the King of the East China Sea to come to greet us before entering?" A clerk beside him asked cautiously.

Mu Jun smiled, "That's not it. If you were the king of the East China Sea, would you go and greet a prince from another country? ”

"This ...... The villain doesn't know ...... However, if it is a prince like His Royal Highness, the villain will definitely go out of the city for ten miles to greet him! The clerk slapped a sycophant without missing a trace.

Mu Jun's face showed a smug smile, his mood was still very good, the reason why he wanted to camp at the city gate was to test the king of the East China Sea, if the king of the East China Sea confessed, then everything would be easy.

But it was already evening, and the King of the East China Sea obviously had no intention of coming to greet him, and he had a conclusion in his heart: "It seems that the King of the East China Sea is not as mediocre as the rumors, and Jiang Fu is not a good stubble!" ”

Before he arrived in Linzi, he had already received the news that Xu Xiang had been rescued, and the Donghai royal family was afraid that they had seen through Beimeng's plan to ask for Xu Xiang, so I was afraid that the purpose of their trip would not be achieved.

The smile on his face did not decrease, and there was a gloomy look in his eyes, and he muttered: "It seems that you have to change your mind to deal with Donghai." ”

"Yu Hu, get ready." He said to the clerk next to him.

The clerk was stunned for a moment, and then asked puzzledly: "Your Highness, what are you preparing?" Is it going to a post house? ”

"The inn? Not ......"

Different from the court system of Great Xia, there was a great court meeting in the East China Sea every five days, and hundreds of civil and military officials from Linzi would come to the palace to participate in this great court meeting.

Just yesterday, all the officials in Linzi had received a notice to come to the court meeting, which had just passed two days since the last court meeting.

Early in the morning, hundreds of civil and military officials came to the palace gate one after another, waiting for the palace gate to open.

"Master Wu, this great court meeting was held just the day before yesterday, why did the king summon us and others today? You are in charge of the palace defense, you should know why, right? A man on the left side of the palace gate dressed in crimson civil attire asked a burly military attache next to him.

The other officials around were whispering about the reason why they suddenly summoned hundreds of officials for a grand court meeting. Hearing someone ask, he hurriedly stopped talking, looked at the military attaché, and pricked up his ears to listen.

The martial arts official worshiped the commander of the Sanpin Inner City Palace, often went in and out of the palace, and got the news faster and more than other officials, so everyone chose to ask him.

He whispered: "I heard that the envoy from Beimeng came to Linzi yesterday, but he did not settle in the post house, but camped in front of the city gate. The king suddenly summoned everyone over, presumably because of this. ”

"Huh? Why did this Northern Mongolian envoy camp at the city gate? The official asked, puzzled.

"I heard that His Royal Highness went to greet him in person, but the envoy of Beimeng was not satisfied, so he had to let the king greet him!"

As soon as Wu Hao's words fell, all the officials showed angry looks on their faces, muttering, "What kind of thing is this Northern Mongolian envoy?" Do you have to let the king greet you? ”

"Beimeng is strong by force, this is with the power of destroying the Chu State, and he has come to my East China Sea to spread wild!"

"How can it be!"

At this time, an old man wearing a purple and gold trimmed court robe stood up, raised his hand and said: "Beimeng is indeed a little unreasonable, all this is still waiting for the king to decide!" I'll wait for a while, and I'll go to the court meeting after the palace door opens! If the king finds out that we are making noise outside the palace gate, it will be out of character! ”

As soon as the old man spoke, everyone fell silent, bowed respectfully, and responded, "Obey Muyangjun's order!" ”
