Three days later, Li Xiaofei took Murong Ling to attend the meeting. The emperor privately rewarded Murong Ling with a set of gorgeous clothes, and Murong Ling suddenly showed a handsome and white temperament after changing into it. Even Xie Rui, who has always regarded himself as gentle as jade, has to admire.

Wang Xian also rushed back from Danyang, sitting first on the right with the respect of a general, Xiao Shan was the first on the left, Xiao Ding Yuan Kang Xie Rui sat down outside the palace gate in turn, Li Xiaofei sat in the last seat on the right, and Murong Ling sat in the last seat on the left.

Liu Xuan glanced at the ministers and spoke: "I sent an envoy to Chang'an in the first month, and after three years of hardships and dangers, I finally returned to the court. The deputy envoy Li Xiaofei was not afraid of a strong enemy, and returned the domestic situation of the Qin State and the secret letters of the state one by one, and now he will refer to them with all the important ministers."

After Liu Xuan finished speaking, Qin Zhong and more than a dozen other internal eunuchs held Cui Hong, Hu Jianmi, Hou Dong's edict and transcription copies and handed them to the civil and military officials in the main hall one by one.

While the ministers were watching, Liu Xuan spoke again: "Today's court meeting is to discuss with you the future strategy of the Qin State and the Black Flag Khanate and the Green Flag Khanate. The kings of Qin, Wenchen, and the military generals all want to cut off the land and my beam, and want to use the sword of my beam to eradicate dissidents. I'd like to hear what you think."

At this time, Li Xiaofei suddenly remembered what the three major families of the Qin State said to him in Chang'an City that the big families are all broken and inextricably linked, so Cui Hong must have contacted at least the Xiao family, the Wang family, and the Xie family before he came back, so most of the people who participated in the court meeting this time would definitely choose a strategy that was beneficial to Cui Hong. 、

Wang Xian was the first to speak: "The old minister thinks that the Qinghe Cui clan's strategy of cutting the land of Han and Qi is feasible, and his Royal Highness the King of Han and Chen Huqi will attack the land of Han, and I will lead the army out of Huai to the north and south to recover the land of Qi, so that most of the land of the Central Plains has been recovered." The most important thing is that the Qin State is simply powerless to resist the two-front battle"

Xiao Shan then spoke: "I thought that Qinghe Cui's words could not be trusted, if our Liang army and the main force of the Qin army were both defeated, and the Cui clan went east to clear the customs and reap the benefits of the fisherman, then the Han land was gained and lost, and my Liang lost the soldiers and horses in vain but took the fire for others."

Wang Xian glanced at Xiao Ding, and Xiao Ding immediately spoke: "Prime Minister Zuo is reasonable, since the two armies cannot ensure the eventuality, it is better to send another army to be led by Prime Minister Zuo to the north and then sweep through Yancheng and Zhao, so that the country is unified, wouldn't it be beautiful."

Xiao Shan nodded and looked at Xie Rui, Xie Rui was about to speak, but was preempted by Yuan Kang: "The three adults are afraid that they are daydreaming, if we can send out a three-way army, won't the Qin State resist in three ways?" If they can cut the land of Han Qi to us today, can't they cut the land of Han Qi to Mobei in exchange for reinforcements? How can there be wishful thinking in war? ”

Everyone in the court looked at Yuan Kang, and they usually thought that this old man was a stubborn nerd, but today's words were so thorough. Xie Rui couldn't help but admire, and secretly glad that he didn't say what he said to Wang Xian Xiaoshan.

Xie Rui reacted quickly, and immediately said: "Lord Yuan is thoughtful, it is the blessing of my Great Liang, I hope that the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State have long been waiting for the price to sell, it depends on which side of us and Mobei will take the bait first, it is best for our Daliang and Mobei to compete for the land of Han Qi, they watch the fire from the other side, maybe they will take the opportunity to invade the land of Shu."

As soon as this remark came out, even Wang Xian was scared into a cold sweat, Shu is also the territory of his Taiyuan Wang clan, if he didn't lay down Qi land, but was taken down by Cui's Shu land, it would be a big loss. So he hurriedly played to Liu Xuan: "Please lead the army to help Shu, strengthen the defense, and then ask Your Majesty to order the King of Han and the hussar general to attack Luoyang to buy time for our army to deploy defenses."

Liu Xuan nodded: "That's very good, attack Luoyang first to see how the Qin State reacts, and throw stones to ask for directions." But Qi Di also had to be guarded, and I ordered Sikong Xie Rui to rush to Huainan to control the counties of Huainan, train soldiers and horses, and prevent the Qin army from going south! ”

Xiao Shan Xiao Ding was about to speak, but Wang Xian glanced at him, so he swallowed the words back.

Yuan Kang continued to speak: "Deputy envoy Li Xiaofei, envoy to Qin State, but unable to protect the deputy envoy Zhou Quan, the peace agreement is not successful, it is humiliating to the mission, please behead Li Xiaofei to revitalize the dynasty!" ”

Everyone in the hall was stunned, which one is this Situ going to play, who doesn't know that Li Xiaofei led someone to cure the emperor's stubborn illness for many years a few days ago, Yuan Kang actually openly proposed to behead Li Xiaofei, could it be that this old man's head is broken?

Li Xiaofei was originally extremely angry, but when he thought that Yuan Kang was a nerd, he didn't care, and hurriedly knelt on the ground to plead guilty. Wang Xie and others hurriedly played a round, saying that Li Xiaofei had worked hard and hard, and brought back a soldier and horse, and invited Li Shenyi's successor to cure the emperor's illness and so on.

Who knew that Yuan Kang would not forgive: "Private placement of soldiers and horses, but you want to rebel?" Li Xiaofei is suspected of rebellion, and the minister will ask Li Xiaofei to be killed again to thank the world."

Even Liu Xuan on the throne couldn't cry or laugh, he didn't know where Li Xiaofei offended Yuan Kang, so he hurriedly appeased Yuan Kang: "Lord Yuan adheres to the court system and is loyal, Li Xiaofei has confessed everything to me, and he has taken the capital crime, I have spared his life, and I ask Lord Yuan to let him go."

Even the emperor came forward to intercede, Yuan Kang stopped, and Li Xiaofei also breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Xuan looked at Murong Ling and remembered something, so he said to the courtiers: "Murong Ling on the last seat is a disciple of Divine Doctor Li, I want to appoint him as the commander of the guards, what do you think?" ”

Wang Xian, Xiao Shan, Xiao Ding, and Xie Rui all agreed, after all, the commander of the guard did not have much oil and water, and there were only a hundred people under him, which had nothing to do with the overall situation, so he pushed the boat down the river to give the emperor a favor.

But Yuan Kang hit the bar again: "This person's origin is unknown, and he is not from my Central Plains, so you can't give this person the responsibility of guarding the forbidden palace!" ”

Liu Xuandu almost got angry, but he still couldn't help but smile and said: "Since Yuan Situ is against it, then grant him the post of guerrilla general and continue to serve in the army."

Wang Xie and the others heard about Murong Ling's ability, and when they heard that they were going to appoint him with a military position, they almost shouted out the words "no", but they even agreed to the position of the commander of the four-rank guards in front of them, and at this time, when they came to oppose Murong Ling to be a seven-rank guerrilla general, others would feel that they were not normal, and their opinions would often be opposed by others in the future. had to applaud them all, and praised the emperor and Yuan Kang again.

Murong Ling knelt down and thanked him: "Thank you Emperor", Liu Xuan motioned for him to get up, walked to the main hall and untied his jade belt and gave it to Murong Ling: "General Murong, this is my personal belonging, if you see this jade belt, you can use this jade belt to enter and exit the palace, and wait for my call at any time."

Murong Ling thanked him again, and the court meeting ended after a while. The ministers dispersed, and Wang Xian walked to Li Xiaofei's side: "You kid, it's best not to come to Jinling again, otherwise one day Yuan Situ will kill you according to the court system, haha", Xie Rui also smiled: "Li Xiaofei, congratulations on meeting Yuan Situ, at least you can be cautious at all times, and you will not be easily caught by Yuan Situ"
