Chapter 632: Misfortune is not a one-way street

"Destiny!" When the prince heard this, he was immediately moved. If he can also get a piece of the pie in the Mandate of Heaven, then whether it is Zilan or...

No matter who it is, he will not be able to shake his position in the state of Chu.

Seeing that the prince was moved, Doctor Shangguan continued: "Prince, the contradiction between the Jianghan feudal monarch and the Jianghuai feudal monarch seems to be irreconcilable, but in fact, there are commonalities. The reason why Jianghuai Fengjun refused to send troops to attack the Song Dynasty was because he was afraid that once the battle was defeated, Huainan would not be able to defend. Therefore, they would rather give up this opportunity to defeat the countries, and let the army of the Zhu State guard Huaishui for them.

However, as long as the Zhu State returns victorious, then all the dissatisfaction of the Jianghuai feudal monarch will dissipate. And you, the crown prince who is the leader of the Pillar State and the Song Dynasty, will greatly increase your prestige, and you will be flattered by them in every way. This is the way for the prince to gather all the feudal monarchs at the same time without being restricted by the feudal monarchs in various places! ”

The prince smiled and nodded.

With Zhaoying's defeat of the Song army and the news of opening up Chendi and Shou County in Yingdu, the people's hearts were excited, and at the same time, the call for Zhuguo Jingcui to send troops to attack the Song Dynasty rose again.

December 15th.

The Great Dynasty of the State of Chu.

After the ministers saluted, Zuo Yin Zhaochang took the lead in speaking: "King, now that General Zhaoying has broken through Yingshui's Song army, Yingshui has returned to the hands of our Chu army, Sima's retreat has been opened, and the Song army has been newly defeated, and morale is low. Therefore, the minister thought that at this time, he should take advantage of the victory to pursue, break the Song army in Huaibei in one fell swoop, and then the army went straight to the Song State, supported the Song prince to ascend the throne, and let the Song State fall to us again! ”

After Zhao Chang spoke, Shangguan Dafu and others immediately followed up and bowed to Xiong Huai one after another: "King, please give the order to send troops to attack the Song Dynasty." ”

Just when Jing Li was about to refute it, the crown prince Heng took the lead in saying: "Father, the Song army is newly defeated, and the morale of our army is flourishing. ”

As the crown prince opened his mouth, more than half of the courtiers in the entire courtiers suddenly asked for the Song Dynasty. Even some ministers who were still hesitant, inspired by this great victory over the Song army, also turned to support the Song Dynasty.

Seeing this, Xiong Huai's eyes glanced at the ministers, and saw that at this time, except for Jing Li and other people who opposed the sending of troops, there were only a few people left who did not speak.

Then, Xiong Huai set his eyes on Fan Huan, an important minister who was still neutral, and saw that he was unmoved by the plea in the main hall, so he shook his head, and then looked at Sun Yan and others, who opposed the sending of troops.

It's just that when I saw that their faces were heavy and they wanted to speak, but they didn't want to speak for a long time, they knew in their hearts that they still had scruples about the prince.

After thinking about it, Xiong Huai spoke: "The widow has always believed in and listened to the rule, and the widow still has doubts about the Song Dynasty, Ling Yin is the head of the hundred officials, I don't know what Xianqing means?" ”

When Jing Li heard the name of the King of Chu, he could only stand up helplessly and said: "King, the minister thinks that this is not the time to attack the Song Dynasty on a large scale..."

After Jing Li objected, Gongsun Yan and others immediately had a backbone and spoke up one after another.

Night.

Shotsune Fuchu.

"Damn, if it weren't for Jing Li, an old horseman, who opened his mouth today, and forcibly suppressed this matter with Ling Yin Zhizun, the matter of cutting down the Song Dynasty would have been done!" Zhao Chang remembered that in today's court discussion, Jing Li and others were sprayed by the ministers with poor reasoning, and finally in the bystander of the king of Chu, they actually relied on their strong status to block the matter of the Song Dynasty, thinking about it, full of anger gushed out, and scolded angrily.

At this time, Doctor Shangguan, who was sitting on Zhaochang's side, said with a gloomy face: "Since Ling Yin doesn't follow the rules, then we don't have to stick to the rules!" ”

"What do you mean?"

"Zuo Yin, Jing Li has served as Ling Yin for nearly ten years, but he has no meritorious service, this is simply a corpse vegetarian meal. Therefore, I thought that Jing Li should be allowed to follow Sikong Zhaoyu and take the initiative to give up Ling Yin's position. As long as Jing Li is not in charge of Ling Yin, then the next court meeting, the matter of cutting down the Song Dynasty will be imperative! ”

Zhao Chang's heart moved, a flash of anticipation, and then he shook his head again and asked, "After Jing Li, who can inherit Ling Yin's position?" ”

Doctor Shangguan was stunned for a long time, and then spoke: "Zhuguo Jingcui has the merit of breaking through, and this kind of feats are even better than Yin Zhaoyang, I don't know what Zuo Yin thinks?" ”

Zhao Changyan nodded slowly.

A few days later.

Jing Li looked at the departing lobbyist, and said angrily: "Zhuzi, how can this be reasonable, you actually want me to take the initiative to let Xian resign from Ling Yin's position." I want to see if I resolutely refuse to retreat, will you still be able to force the king to depose me at the next court meeting? ”

As he spoke, he scolded again...

Just when he was scolding, the guest of Jinglimen invited him to report: "Your Excellency, there is a distinguished guest visiting..."

Jing Carp was stunned.

In the Chu Palace.

Xiong Huai looked at Gongzi An, who was brought by Jing Li, and asked curiously, "I don't know what Gongzi is here?" ”

"This..." Gongzi An looked ashamed, as if he had something unspeakable, pondered for a moment, and then sighed: "The king, although this matter is difficult to talk about, the minister still has to tell the king.

In the past year, all countries have invaded Chu, and the widow does not measure his own strength, and wants to help the king, but it is a pity that Yan is too far away from Chu State, and the whole country of Yan is looking forward to sighing, and there is more than enough strength but not enough. ”

Xiong Huai smiled: "King Yan has a heart, and the widow will remember it." ”

Gongzi An bowed his hand, and then said: "Great King, since the Six Kingdoms deliberately besieged the Chu State, I learned that Chu and Yan had a close relationship, and they frequently exerted pressure on our country, and even the king of Zhao and Han, who strongly advocated the accession of the widow monarch, also exerted pressure on our country. Under the strong pressure of various countries, the widow had no choice but to withdraw the troops in the south to Jidu, and could no longer contain the forces of Qi for the king. ”

Xiong Huai thought deeply and said: "Few people know much about the pressure of the Six Kingdoms, and in this regard, I understand the helplessness of King Yan." ”

"King Xie understands!" Gongzi replied, and then continued: "King, two months ago, the Donghu people were about to move in the northern land of Yan and Zhao, which caused great pressure on me and Yan and Zhao. Therefore, King Zhao sent a message to the widow and wanted to let the country send troops to the Northern Expedition to relieve the pressure on the Donghu people.

In the past, King Zhao had a great favor to the widow, this time the king of Zhao wrote a letter to ask the widow for help, the widow could not refuse, so he could only meet the requirements of the king of Zhao, and prepared to go north to Donghu with the power of the whole country at the end of January or early February, after the weather warmed up slightly.

However, the widow was worried that after the northern expedition of the Yan army, the Qi State would no longer have any scruples, and would transfer all its troops to the south to threaten the Chu State. Therefore, the widow sent a minister to inform the king and ask the state of Chu to prepare.

Order, in order to express the apology of Yan to Chu State, in the case that the countries blocked the road to Chu State, the widow sent a minister to Chu State from the sea, willing to present a total of 30,000 cattle, sheep and horse skins, three boats with shin horns, and one million arrows, thinking that the king would have a long life. ”
