Chapter 233: There Are Women Like This
In the perception of most Qi people, the balance of power within the royal court, if in terms of power, is of course the queen's power, which has always been supported by the common people, is stronger. Especially at the moment, those doctors and nobles also secretly began to move closer to the queen. Combined, these two forces clearly have the upper hand.
But in reality, the complex relationship is not so easy to judge. Perhaps, only those who really know the actual situation in the royal court know that if it comes to the comparison of real strength, the queen and the doctors do not have much advantage.
Because, the reason is very simple. Qi Guoxiang and the generals who had great influence in the army had already clearly supported the eldest son Tian Xian. And the other princes, although they don't have much ability, they are all important members of the royal family after all. For the sake of their own future, they have always been optimistic about the horses. In this way, the combined power of them is huge.
If it weren't for the fact that King Qi had not expressed his position, Gongzi Tianxi's status would not have been established. It is likely that they will have many more followers. But the current situation is not weak at all. Especially the army near Wangcheng is in the hands of those generals, and with such a powerful help, Tian Xian can have no fear.
Just like at today's meeting in the main hall, Lanling Jun, who represents the queen's intentions, has clearly publicly expressed the words of sending troops with Zhao State, but Gongzi Tian Xian directly stood up and refuted him. This is enough to show that their faction has reached a consensus. It is to refuse to send troops to King Qin, and it will even hinder the multi-faceted cooperation with Zhao State.
In fact, if according to Chu Jiangmian's original intention, he wanted to decide all the things that should be discussed as soon as possible together with these important ministers who could represent the Qi State in today's hall. Time was of the essence, and he had to hurry. There are so many things waiting that there is no delay at all.
However, things turned out to be the opposite of what he wanted. Before some cooperation matters could be discussed, the military cooperation between the two countries first proposed by Lan Lingjun was strongly opposed. Chu Jiangmian sat on the side, looking at the fierce argument scene in front of him with a somewhat indifferent face, and he couldn't stop sneering in his heart. If this was in Zhao Kingdom, if there was such a stupid guy who was so forceful and reasoned wasting time here, he would have jumped up and unceremoniously gave them a few big mouths! But now that he is a guest, he can't act too much, he can only hold back the impatience in his heart and wait for a final result.
Bai Ye and Blue Bird, who were standing behind Chu Jiangmian, also wanted to rush over and beat people. The king of his own family gave Qi Guo such a good opportunity, but they didn't know how to seize it, it was just too stupid. Even the two of them can realize how much impact the joint dispatch of the two countries to the king will have among the princes of the world. This is a good opportunity for Qi to reshape the image of a great power! I think that the king of Qi was called the overlord of the East and the princes of Jiuhe, and he almost commanded the world. That is a figure who is regarded as a strong backing by the Great Zhou royal family. But now the Qi country is afraid, but he doesn't even have the courage at all. This cannot but be said to be a kind of sadness.
Seeing that most of the hours have passed, the noisy people in the hall have not figured out a clue, and it seems that there is no unanimous opinion for a while. The current situation is that Lanling Juntian Wuzhao and Shangdafu Gongsun Ji resolutely support sending troops together with Zhao to relieve the siege of Zhongzhou. The Minister of State, Gongzi Tian Xian, and General Tian Ji, who were standing opposite them, were opposed, saying that they did not agree to this matter either. Things were at an impasse for a while.
Doctor Gongsun Ji was arguing with the other party, and he really couldn't help the anger rising in his heart. Zhao Wang Chu Jiangmian has been sitting next to him. However, there was such a huge disagreement within the Qi royal court. King Zhao saw it in his eyes, what would he think in his heart?
In the past half a year, the doctors led by Gongsun Ji have been inseparable from the relationship with Zhao State. They have all benefited greatly from the previous cooperation, and they are full of infinite expectations for more levels of cooperation to be carried out in the next step. Whether it is for the sake of Qi or for the future of their own family, these people have decided to unconditionally support the cooperation between the two countries.
Gongsun Ji was very eager for Zhao Wang Chu Jiangmian to take the time to talk to them in person. This time, the other party came to Canghai King City, and they had already read a cooperation document brought by them. The list is extensive. Development cooperation, including agriculture and the economy, seems to have opened up a new world before their eyes. In particular, the other party offered to help them mine and unearth the treasures of the East China Sea. This is especially exciting.
The vast East China Sea has always been an important source of wealth for the people of Qi. The sea salt and pearls that are now produced alone account for almost half of the revenue of the national treasury. How many treasures are hidden in the sea? They couldn't wait to find out with the help of King Zhao's means.
At this important juncture, it is necessary to maintain relations with Zhao State. Since the King of Qi is now ill and ignores government affairs, of course, these people have the obligation to help the queen's forces with all their might, which is where their best interests lie. Because of this, Shangdafu Gongsun Ji stood on the same front with Lan Lingjun at all costs. Even if he offended Gongzi Tian Xian because of this, he admitted it.
"The king is not here, and I, as an important minister of the royal court, can't we even decide this little thing? What Lan Lingjun said is not wrong at all. If you want to restore the prestige of Qi among the princes of the world, this time it is a good opportunity to send troops to Los Angeles. Don't waste any more time, let's decide! ”
Gongsun Ji has a clear banner and a resolute attitude. And Qi Guoxiang on the opposite side sneered at him and said word by word.
"The king is not here, and the eldest son is here! How can it be someone else's turn to decide on military and political affairs? Hum! Gongzi has just said that the Qi State will not send troops...... No further discussion! ”
"You! Hum...... For the sake of your own selfishness, do you want to take the opportunity to delay the country's major affairs? ”
Gongsun Ji was angry and angry, and he was no longer polite when he spoke. The prime minister only glanced at him faintly, his face full of contempt.
"Doctor, don't you spew blood! This is not only the opinion of me and the eldest son, but also the officers and men in the army. They don't just go into these irrelevant wars. ”
"Prime Minister, when will you be able to speak on behalf of the officers and men in the army again? Hum! ”
"Doctor, the Prime Minister is right. We do not agree to send troops! So...... Do you understand? ”
General Tian Ji stepped forward with a gloomy face and repeated a sentence heavily. He believed that everyone present would understand the meaning of the words. The command of the armies near Wangcheng was in the hands of these generals. As long as they are resolutely opposed, no one will want to mobilize their troops. That's where their confidence lies.
Doctor Gongsun Ji almost crooked his nose. These guys in the army are both generals and members of the royal family, and they really have no way to be arrogant with such an attitude. And Childe Tian shirt became even more proud. As long as he has the support of the minister and the generals, his position is extremely important. Even if it is not yet clear that he is the heir to the throne, it is believed that there will be more and more followers in the future. If there is anyone who dares to ignore current affairs, he does not mind using the most ruthless means to deal with it.
Lan Lingjun sighed, reached out and grabbed Gongsun Ji's robe sleeve, signaling that he didn't have to argue forcibly. If there was really no way, he had to go to the sick King Qi and ask him to pass on the royal decree in person.
It's just that he didn't expect it. Seeing that their side was overwhelmed, Gongzi Tianxian refused to stop there. He turned his gaze and looked at Zhao Wang Chu Jiangmian, who was silently watching on the side, and raised his eyebrows provocatively and said.
"Since the Qi Kingdom is fine, then please ask King Zhao to quickly lead the troops to save the Son of Heaven! This is a hundred thousand urgent things, if you go late, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up with anything...... Hehe! ”
In front of everyone, his demeanor was frivolous, his words were rude, and who couldn't hear the meaning of the words, which was obviously deliberately trying to ridicule Chu Jiangmian. Many people's faces can't help but change color. Even a humble gentleman like Lan Lingjun couldn't help but feel a sudden surge of anger.
"Childe! King Zhao has a deep affection for Qi Guo, you must not be rude! ”
"I'm not rude! But let's be honest. Anyway, our Qi country will not send troops, and the soldiers are unwilling to go, so there is no way! Isn't it? ”
Tian Xian not only did not relent, but looked even more arrogant. Looking at him with a look of being beaten up, Chu Jiangmian narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that his hands were a little itchy. It's just that before he could put the idea of beating people into action, he heard a crisp voice suddenly sound.
"Who said the soldiers didn't want to go! If you people are greedy for life and afraid of death, I am willing to lead them on the expedition for the general! ”
In the empty hall, everyone could hear it clearly. When everyone looked up, many people couldn't help but have stunned expressions on their faces. Chu Jiangmian moved the corner of his eyes, and he suddenly laughed. He doesn't have to look to see it, he knows who is speaking. The woman in armor and the sword, looking back now, seems to be very strong!
I saw that behind the screen on the throne side of the main hall, it was Queen Wuyan who came out of the circle of chamberlains and palace maids. And the carefree princess who spoke just now strode forward and had already taken the lead to the steps.
This royal princess, who is still only a young girl in the impression of many people, wears a casual dress with arrow sleeves and a cape. She clenched the sword in her hand tightly, met many surprised eyes, and repeated it loudly without timidity.
"You're not going, okay! I would like to be a general, on behalf of the Qi country...... Go to the king of diligence! ”
