Chapter 609: Monarch and Minister

When King Song heard this, his face turned black and he ceded Xue Di, King Song was deeply ashamed, and he didn't want to pour salt on his wound in front of the public.

It's just that Dai Yuan's weight in the Song State is also very heavy, and with Hui Ang and Dai Yuan taking the lead in opposing the Song King's large-scale attack on Chu, the ministers are as if they have the backbone of the backbone, and they are not afraid of the majesty of the Song King.

So, Dai Yuan's voice fell, and before King Song could reprimand Dai Yuan, another minister spoke:

"The king, Chu is strong and Song is weak, and now Jing Cui, a famous general of Chu State, leads an army of 300,000 to garrison Huainan, looking at both sides of the Huaishui River. Now Qi Wei and Zhao are attacking Chen, Qin and Han are attacking Han, and only I, the Song State, are in Huaibei to contain the Chu State. If our Song State invaded Chu on a large scale, not only did it make Chu feel threatened, but Jing Cui saw that our Song army was alone and went deeper, intending to break the Song army first, and then use Song State as a springboard to threaten the hinterland of Qi and Wei and force Qi and Wei to return to help, how should this be? โ€

King Song froze when he heard this, and the two reasons he had just sent troops were all refuted.

But that wasn't the end of it, and then someone spoke, "King, ...

Twilight.

The Song Dynasty Conference ended, and the dispatch of troops ended without a problem again.

King Song returned to the inner hall angrily, and as soon as he entered the hall, he saw that there was no one around, and the anger in his heart could not be held back any longer, and he pulled out his sword suddenly, and slashed at the pillar on his side, while saying angrily: "Bastard..."

After more than ten swords, a waiter appeared outside the hall, looked at the crazy King Song in fear, swallowed his saliva, and entered the hall tremblingly, saying: "King, Minister Hui'an asks to see!" โ€

When King Song heard this, his hands slammed into force, and then there was a loud "snap", and in the panic of the waiter, the sword penetrated more than an inch into the pillar.

Then, King Song pumped hard, but as a result, he didn't pull it out.

Seeing this, King Song was furious, and then took two sharp breaths, forcibly suppressed his anger, and responded: "Let him come in and see the widow!" โ€

When the waiter heard this, he immediately responded with great joy: "Yui! โ€

Soon, Hui Ang walked quickly into the hall with a smile on his face. Then, his eyes caught a glimpse of King Song's saber stuck on the pillar, and he suddenly stiffened slightly. Then, he quickly came back to his senses, smiled and saluted to King Song, who was already seated: "Great joy, great joy, king!" โ€

King Song was stunned and asked in surprise: "Huiqing, where does the joy come from?" โ€

Hui Ang bowed and said: "The king, Zuo Yin of the Chu State is visiting, and he is willing to take the three hundred miles of Huaibei as the king's birthday, and only ask the king and the king of Chu to be friends!" โ€

King Song was stunned for a long time, pondered for a long time, and then looked at Hui Ang and said: "Is Xianqing saying that the widow should take the opportunity to accept the good intentions of the king of Chu, and then make peace with the state of Chu?" โ€

Hui Ang nodded as a matter of course and said: "King, now that the State of Chu is in urgent trouble, I am willing to cut the land for three hundred miles and make peace, this is exactly what my Song State has not had a single soldier to do, not only will it not offend the State of Chu, but it will also be able to obtain three hundred miles of land, isn't this the heavens favor the king?" โ€

King Song looked at Hui Ang when he heard this, and then didn't speak for a long time.

Seeing King Song staring at him, Hui Ang couldn't help but ask in surprise, "King, is there anything wrong with what the minister said?" โ€

King Song sighed and said: "Xianqing is right, the king of Chu gave up three hundred miles of land, this is indeed the favor of heaven for the widow!" โ€

Speaking of this, King Song suddenly exuded a powerful momentum, looked at Hui Ang with confidence, and said solemnly: "But, is the widow the kind of person who needs the favor of God?" โ€

"This..." Hui Ang was speechless.

King Song then said to himself: "In the past, the son of the Emperor was self-reliant, and he had a country for more than 40 years, his position was stable, and the people's hearts were attached. At that time, the widow was just an ordinary prince, and he was not qualified to inherit the throne of the monarch at all. But the widow did not believe in the mandate of heaven and did not accept his fate, but raised an army to expel the culling and set himself up as the king.

When the widow had just ascended the throne, the nobles in the country were greedy for pleasure under the leadership of Culling, and they were tyrannical at home and serving the powerful country externally, and the land was lost one after another, and the country was weakened day by day. The widow received a country in which the people were poor, the nobles had no fighting spirit, and there were many foreign powers, and they looked down on the wolves, and it was a country in turmoil.

However, the widow still did not accept his fate, but reformed the customs internally, widely applied benevolence and righteousness, practiced the royal road, and connected Qi and Chu to Wei externally, and strengthened the army to protect itself.

Then, after more than ten years of painstaking management, it was only after reversing the decline of the Song State and realizing the prosperity of the country and the strength of the people, so that the surrounding three kingdoms of Qi, Chu and Wei did not dare to bully the Song State easily. โ€

Speaking of this, King Song raised his voice: "The ministers all think that the widow has achieved this step today, which is already a high achievement, and he has surpassed the previous emperors, and he should be satisfied." After all, the surroundings of the Song State were either rich Qi, Great Chu, or Qiang Wei. These three countries are all countries that can compete for hegemony in the world, and if the Song State is the enemy of the three kingdoms, it will inevitably cause disaster.

However, is the purpose of the widow just to allow the Song Kingdom to protect itself? โ€

When the king of Song heard this, he immediately asked himself and replied: "No, the goal of the widow has never been self-preservation, the ambition of the widow is to restore the hegemony of the Song State and dominate the world again.

For this goal, the widow has been waiting for an opportunity. Finally, the opportunity came, and the Qi country destroyed Yan, which attracted the opposition of all countries in the world. However, when the widow decided to take action against the Qi State, everyone from the ministers to the common people, and even the officers and soldiers in the army, were all terrified, believing that this move would cause disaster to the Song State. โ€

Speaking of this, King Song looked at Hui Ang gratefully and said: "In the opposition of the ministers, it was you, Huiqing, who still stood firmly by the side of the widow, gave advice to the widow, and finally subdued the ministers and was able to gather troops to fight together."

In the end, it turned out that Lian Chu Vaqi's strategy was extremely correct, and for this reason, the widow obtained more than two hundred li of land from the Qi State, and the national strength increased greatly. โ€

Hui Ang listened to the words of the King of Song, and remembered that at the beginning of the reign of the King of Song, he followed his uncle Huizi from the Chu State to the Song State, and together with the King of Song, he went through bitterness, step by step, and changed the Song State bit by bit, turning the rich and weak Song State in the eyes of all countries into a strong and rich Jin Song.

It also eliminated all difficulties, broke the fear of the Chinese people for the three kingdoms of Qi Wei and Chu, and cut flesh from Qi Wei to fatten himself.

When I think of the difficulties, my eyes are moistened, and my emotions are difficult to control.

At this time, King Song's eyes were also moistened, and he said emotionally: "Huiqing, now that the state of Chu has destroyed Yue, it has caused all countries to besiege it. At this time, the situation of the Chu State is even more dangerous than that of the Qi State, and it is a good opportunity for our Song State to take the opportunity to attack the Chu State in order to strengthen itself. Huiqing, why don't you stand on the side of the widow and support the widow as before, but work with the ministers to oppose the widow? โ€

When Hui Ang heard this, his head suddenly cleared, and he quickly gathered his thoughts, and persuaded in a mournful voice: "Great King, this time is different from the past, in the past, we had the State of Chu as an ally, so we can naturally use the strength of the State of Chu to confront the two countries of Qi and Wei. However, now, the relationship between Qi and Wei and our Song State is bad, and Qi Wei forced the king to cede Xue Di, which is proof of this.

If the king offends the state of Chu again, it will be an enemy of the three surrounding powers at the same time. Once one of the countries peeped into the Song State, and the other two countries were angry that the Great King had attacked them, not only did they not send troops to rescue, but they jointly attacked the Song State, how could the Song State protect itself at that time? โ€
