Bo Yan pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, in my opinion, the barbarians should not agree to force the palace in the short term. ”

When he first came in, it could be seen from the barbarian's expression that he had obvious rejection. But it seems that King Yong'an did not notice this.

Nan An followed Bo Yan's meaning and smoothed out his thoughts, and suddenly understood the reason why the barbarians didn't want to force the palace in the near future: "Is it because King Yong'an betrayed them last time?" ”

Obviously, they said that they would assassinate together, then even if they failed, the charges were both sides. Even if the barbarians have no brute strength, they will feel a lot of resentment in the face of such unfair treatment.

That is, the barbarians, if they had changed to others, they would have defected a long time ago.

"Why don't we contact the barbarians first and let them have them all for us?" Bo Yan suddenly said: "King Yong'an betrayed first, and with a little kindness, we may be able to turn the war into a jade silk." ”

Nan'an thought about it, and didn't quite agree with Bo Yan's idea: "Since ancient times, the barbarians have been at odds with the Central Plains, and all dynasties have used force to deter barbarians. Now I want to reconcile......"

"It's not hard."

Bo Yan interrupted Nan'an's words and said thoughtfully: "Actually, this matter is far from being as difficult as you imagined, it's just that no one in the past dynasties is willing to calm down and truly reconcile with the barbarians. ”

As soon as these words came out, they were shocked.

Huo Qi listened beside him, and couldn't help but interject: "But how can you guarantee that you can succeed this time?" ”

If contradictions are provoked, a war will inevitably ensue.

"See what the barbarians want?" Bo Yan dipped his fingertips in tea and drew a large circle on the table: "This is the Central Plains, with a vast territory and abundant materials. ”

As he spoke, he drew a few smaller circles next to the big circle: "Nanban, Beidi, Dongyi, Xirong." ”

"They have poor climatic conditions and are not rich in materials," Bo Yan said, knocking on the four small circles: "Actually, how much power they have is not what they really want, what they really want is only rich material things." ”

Nan'an stared at the picture drawn by Bo Yan and pondered for a long time: "But what if they are given rich material things, they want more?" ”

"Man's greed is boundless." Bo Yan said: "So we don't give them material abundance directly, but ......"

Halfway through his words, Bo Yan smiled slyly and drew a few lines connecting the Central Plains and other tribes: "Wouldn't it be beautiful to give them a passage where they can exchange their own tribe's things for the materials in the Central Plains, no one on both sides suffers, and exchanges have been strengthened?" ”

Nan An was a little dizzy by Bo Yan's words, held his forehead and thought for a long time, and finally figured out Bo Yan's intentions: "Mr. is really wise, admire, admire!" ”

This trick, if used well, can indeed achieve its purpose.

"Without further ado, let's enter the palace immediately and consult with the Holy One." Bo Yan took out a handkerchief, wiped the tea on the table, got up and said, "This matter must first be approved by the Holy Lord before it can be implemented." ”

Nan'an nodded and said, "The Holy Sage, I will definitely be able to understand Mr.'s intentions." ”

Bo Yan nodded, but there was a slight worry in his expression.

In fact, this matter has nothing to do with whether the saint is virtuous or not, and he also understands that his idea is unprecedented, and ordinary people may not be able to accept it.

When they entered the palace, the Holy Lord was playing against the Empress.

"Why are you here?" The saint seemed to be very happy, and when he saw Nan An and Bo Yan, there was a smile between his eyebrows: "Come on, give me a seat." ”

Bo Yan and Nan An looked at each other and smiled, the saint was in a good mood, and it would be easier for them to talk about this matter.

The queen was astute, and when she saw this, she knew that she was going to discuss the government, and it was naturally inconvenient for her to be present, so she raised her hand and dropped a son, and played a chess move to kill herself: "Shengshang, the concubine lost." ”

"This chess is also shrewd." As the saint spoke, he took out a golden hairpin from his sleeve and inserted it diagonally into the queen's bun: "You go back to the palace first, and I will look for you at night." ”

When Bo Yan saw the queen leaving, he talked to the saint about the matter he had just discussed with Nan'an. Unexpectedly, the saint quickly agreed to Bo Yan.

"Then leave the matter to the two of you, and any official may be at your disposal if necessary." The saint said, looking at Nan'an with satisfaction: "You really found a virtuous minister for me." ”

Nan'an hurriedly made a gesture together: "It is the saint who thinks of the virtuous and thirsty, and the heavens send down the virtuous ministers." ”

"It's still early, why don't Bo Aiqing learn chess skills with me?" The saint came up to Yaxing, raised the sunspot in his hand, landed on the chessboard, and looked at Bo Yan with a smile: "I have heard that Bo Ai is proficient in chess, and I really want to take a look." ”

Bo Yan didn't shirk, leisurely walked to the opposite side of the saint and sat down, picked up the white son and fell next to the black son.

There was silence in the hall, except for the crisp sound of the chess pieces touching the chessboard.

Nan'an watched the chess next to him, and the more he watched, the more anxious he became. Bo Yan played this chess game fiercely, leaving no flaws at all, and pressed the Shengshang chess step by step. This is the current saint who is playing against him, so he has to keep some affection in it.

Thinking about it, Nan'an secretly looked at Shengshang's face, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

With a smile on his face, the saint fell on the chess game with all his attention, looking like he was enjoying it.

The two were inseparable, but gradually, Bo Yan gained the upper hand.

"Holy Lord, I have conceded."

Bo Yan fell a son, and the victory or defeat was obvious.

This game of chess was played for two hours. Nan An rubbed his neck and smiled ashamedly: "Today's game between the Shengshang and Lord Bo is really exciting. ”

Shengshang waved his hand to find the palace people to clean up the chessboard, and smiled: "If Bo Aiqing is free in the future, come and play with me." ”

The implication is that he is very satisfied with this game, even though he is the one who loses.

"I'm afraid that the saint is busy with government affairs, and the minister will miss the saint's business when he comes." Bo Yan said, taking a few steps back: "Shengshang's chess skills are exquisite, although the minister wins chess, he also admires it." ”

Sheng Yi raised his hand and said, "Don't say beautiful words, you go back first, tomorrow in the court, I will bring up this matter again, and let other officials assist you." ”

"Thank you."

The matter was successfully resolved, and Nan An and Bo Yan were both relaxed. On the way back from the palace, I happened to meet Qi Rui with a sad face and an absent-minded look.

"Ziri? What's wrong? ”

Qi Rui heard Nan'an shouting to himself, and raised his head: "The princess went to the poison saint, let me come back to give her a holy name." Can...... Oops, how do you say that? ”

Nan An patted him on the shoulder soothingly, and said, "Don't worry, after retiring from the court tomorrow, I will make it clear to the Holy Lord for you." ”

Anyway, Zhang Ying will not be in any danger with the Poison Saint, so it is up to her.

"Thank you." Qi Rui could be regarded as having a smile on his face, and said, "When I sent the princess there, I saw that Yun Ge and that little medicine boy were having a lot of fun, so you don't have to worry about Yun Ge." ”
