Chapter 463: The Position of the Wugu Clan (Part II)
The door of the hall was quickly opened, revealing several people sitting in the separate hall, their faces were obviously unhappy, obviously Wugu Boqi's sudden disturbance made them deeply unhappy, especially the Liao Song envoys who were sitting on the left and right sides of the head, and their eyes were even more annoyed.
It's no wonder they behaved like this, they used to expose each other's old secrets behind closed doors before, even if they said something ugly, it didn't matter, but now that they were listened to by others, their faces were a little unbearable, after all, they each represented Song and Liao.
Uguruga also glared at his son with some dissatisfaction at this time: "Boqi, why are you so ignorant of etiquette, don't you know that your father is talking to two distinguished guests, and you actually broke straight in?" ”
"The son knows his mistake, and the son is reckless. But because this matter is also related to them, I ......" Ugu Boqi lowered his head and admitted his mistake, and then looked at the king of Yue beside him, obviously wanting to explain it.
At this time, King Yue also hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Don't blame Brother Boqi for the privy envoy, it's really this king who wants to ask him for a recommendation, so he will rush here, if you want to blame, blame me." ”
"How dare you, the prince naturally has something important to discuss when he comes to see this official at this time." Ugurugya's face finally softened a little at this time, and he made a gesture of please: "Since the things you want to say are related to this, please come in and talk." ”
So so easily, Sun Tu and the three of them were able to enter the hall and sit in the position behind the two messengers, which made the faces of the two of them a little ugly, because this was really too unruly. In fact, not only them, but even Sun Tu felt that such a hasty behavior was really unreasonable, and the reason for inviting them in was even more far-fetched.
"Could it be that this is what Uguruga wants to see, which is why he insists on letting us in and talk despite his apparent dissatisfaction? Also, he looked at it without the slightest hint of surprise, he should have known this a long time ago, could it be that someone gave him relevant news first......" Sun Tu quickly turned his mind after sitting down, and then his eyes fell on King Yue, and only King Yue could do this.
In connection with Uguboqi's previous mention that his father avoided the envoys of the two countries some time ago, but today he suddenly agreed to meet the envoys before they arrived, which is even more interesting! It's just that Sun Tu can't see through what kind of purpose the other party has in order to do all this.
Seeing them sit down, the hall was deserted, and there was no more for tat before. In fact, after this interruption to calm down, the two envoys also realized that their previous words were inappropriate, and they did not dare to speak casually at this time.
Since the guests didn't speak, the host of Uguruga could only break the cold: "King Yue, what are the important things you said about the envoys of the two countries?" ”
"Well, it's up to the fine seal." King Yue glanced at the fine seal next to him. The latter was a little restrained at this time, but he still said after a deep sigh: "Privy envoy, my Xifeng clan has always advocated peaceful coexistence with the Liao and Song dynasties, and this time it is the same. But the emperor has the intention of using swords and soldiers these days, so I am here to hope that the privy envoy can persuade the emperor and make less fighting......"
This person spoke directly enough, so he told the whole meaning completely in front of the envoys of the two countries, and several people present were stunned when he heard it, and Uguruga frowned even more: "Since the emperor has a holy judgment, how can we, who are courtiers, question the intervention?" ”
"The so-called loyalty of our ministers is not only to obey the will, but also to prevent the emperor from making wrong decisions, so that my Xia country can prosper and prosper." Sun Tu saw that he didn't know how to say it, so he hurriedly helped explain: "If Song Liao has a dispute, it will not be the blessing of the people of the world, and it will be even more inappropriate if my Xia Kingdom rashly participates in it." In this way, although the privy envoy can get a lot of credit, who should be responsible for the casualties of the soldiers on the front line? What's more, as the two envoys just said, there are constant worries in their respective countries, and if there is a real war at this time, the consequences will not be easy to say. What do you think? ”
"Hmph, what do you know about a milky kid? He dared to say anything about the pros and cons of his country in front of us! The Song envoy was already angry in his heart, so he couldn't help but reprimand him at this time. On the contrary, the Liao envoy showed a thoughtful expression at this time, and his eyes only moved back and forth on King Yue and Uguruya, obviously suspecting that Xi Feng Chang and Sun Tu's words were completely instructed by them.
Everything in front of him really looks too suspicious, even if Xia Guo is not as polite as the Han people, but he will not do such a thing, he actually forcibly broke in when the guest was discussing things with the host, and said such a thing.
Seeing that today's words could not be continued, the Liao envoy simply stood up: "Since the privy envoy has another guest to entertain today, the envoy will no longer bother and leave!" So saying, he walked out without looking back.
The Song envoy on the side also frowned when he saw this, and after weighing it, he also said goodbye and left. Obviously, today's events were too unexpected for them to think of a better solution for a while, so they could only go back and discuss with the people below before talking.
After also getting up and sending the two envoys out of the second gate to turn around, Uguruga looked at King Yue and Xifeng Chang with a wry smile: "It's not the right time for the two of you to come today, this will make me embarrassed." ”
"Huh?" The seal often asked with some puzzlement: "Where did the privy envoy say this?" ”
"Do you know why I've been avoiding them before, but now I've changed my mind? Truth be told, this is what the emperor meant. Uguruga said with a wry smile, but it made everyone's faces change again. King Yue hurriedly said: "Father, is this a privy envoy for you to negotiate terms with them?" ”
"That's right, that's why I called the envoys of the two countries to negotiate with them. It's just that as soon as they met, they were accusing each other of demolishing the platform, and before they could talk about what benefits the two countries could give me, you suddenly came in......" Uguruga sighed and said, "In this way, I can't go to the emperor today." ”
"Privy envoy, this king thinks that what Sun Qianli said just now is very reasonable, my father's decision on this matter is indeed a little inappropriate, Song Liao should only be neutral and self-defending for my Xia Kingdom, and it is not good to participate in the war lightly. Moreover, if we really use this as a threat and want to gain benefits from the Liao and Song countries, it would be good to say if they really went to war, but what if they didn't fight in the end? In this way, not only did not we reap the benefits, but instead offended a great enemy in plain terms?
"Although I know that my father and emperor have been in the Liao and Song dynasties many years ago, thinking about provoking a war between the two sides, this is not easy to say. If they really find out all the truth, then the two countries will join forces, and it will be a catastrophe for our Xia Kingdom. I hope that the privy councillor will consider it in detail, and if you feel that there is some reason, please turn your father! Speaking of this, King Yue stood up solemnly and saluted to Ugurugya.
Seeing this, Uguruga also hurriedly got up to avoid it, and even said that he didn't dare. Then he sighed: "Actually, how can the minister not know the danger, but this is the emperor's meaning after all......"
"In fact, there are many people in the DPRK and China who oppose mixing in the Song-Liao dispute, and if the privy envoy can take the lead, I think there will be many responders in the DPRK and China. At least I, the Seal Clan, will definitely be involved! The fine seal often said in this hurry.
"Yes, in fact, I also said that I was not optimistic about the emperor's plan, so if the privy envoy really gave advice, even the Zhongshu order would echo it. At that time, the Manchu officials will follow in all likelihood, and even if the emperor has made up his mind, he will take back his fate. Sun Tu also said.
"Father, son also thinks that it is more advantageous for my Xia Kingdom not to participate in this matter!" Ugubochi, who had not spoken much, also agreed at this time, and then looked at his father expectantly, waiting for him to nod in agreement.
Ugurugya's face changed several times, and finally he sighed: "Since you all said so, I will take responsibility for it once and think of advising the emperor...... However, there was just a court meeting today, and in five days it will be the emperor's birthday, and I am afraid that I will not be able to be on the table during this period. ”
"Then it's not too late to wait for the holy life to speak. Anyway, the envoys of the two countries have to wait until after their birthdays before leaving, and we still have opportunities and time. King Yue said disappreciatively.
Uguruga nodded in agreement. In this way, it seemed that it was a very difficult thing to do, but it was actually done by their words, and the fine seal was naturally overjoyed, but Sun Tu always felt that things were too light, as if everything was deliberately arranged by someone.
Thinking of his previous speculation, Sun Tu realized that the relationship between Uguruga and King Yue was not simple. And this time, once they really helped the Xifeng clan in this matter to prevent Li Qianshun's plan to get involved in the Song-Liao War, then the Xifeng clan would probably be tied to them in the future.
No, not in the future, but now they have become beings in the same boat!
Once the matter comes true, whether it is Li Qianshun or other courtiers in the court, when they look at these three parties again, they will treat them as one - a prince and prince who is known to be virtuous, a privy envoy who holds the power to raise the country's military power and the second-in-command among the courtiers, plus a tribal force that is on the frontier and has a heavy army, when these three forces are suddenly combined, this force is that the emperor has to retreat three points, right?
Sun Tu's gaze swept over the few people present, and he secretly sighed in his heart, I am afraid that all this has already been arranged by the main figures of several forces, and the only thing that is still unknown is the fine seal.
And this Ugurugya, who was regarded by the emperor as a pure minister, was the one who could seek the most benefits in this matter, because in this way, he would definitely be able to rise quickly and become a force that could compete with Moyuhe!
