Wei Ziheng was thinking about it, and King Yue suddenly interjected: "Think about it, what is relevant now." It's better to be related to us. ”

"Okay, good, good ......" Wei Ziheng, at this time, his brain was running rapidly, and suddenly an inspiration flashed through his brain, and then he took two steps forward. This question is read out as usual when reading the announcement document: "Three ministers, the election of the prime minister is quite serious, and all three of you have the ability to stand alone. Now come up with an exam question, you can answer it at will, and whoever can satisfy King Yue can serve as prime minister. ”

The three people in the audience were serious. Wei Ziheng slowly exhaled, sorted out his language, and then said: "This exam question is to seek a solution that you think you think. As we all know, the state of Wu was shattered, and our country prospered, and I became the ruler of the Central Plains and dominated for a while. However, the previous Wu State attacked Chu and occupied a lot of Chu land, and when the Wu State was destroyed, it failed to subdue all the land of Wu State. There are a lot of land problems left behind. The first king Goujian granted amnesty to the people of Wu, so that the people of Wu were happy and convinced, but the Chu State had no choice but to forcibly occupy the land when the Wu State broke the country, and the disputes on the Chu-Yue border came. General Hua Qi has already led his troops to recover the land, but war still cannot be used as the best solution to the matter, I don't know what your strategy is. It can quell the border land dispute. ”

As soon as the words came out, the court was silent, and many ministers looked at each other, at a loss for a while. This question is really tricky, and it is extremely difficult to answer it even if you are not careful. We can't generalize or pick one point of view, and at the same time, we must stand from the perspective of the country. What's even more troublesome is that this problem is a major national headache for Vietnam itself, and if the solution is good, maybe it will be adopted and used in the future, so we should be cautious and cautious in the next words.

Yue Wang Bushou smiled involuntarily in his heart at this time, and secretly sighed: It is really a great thing to ask Wei Ziheng for help and take him as his personal guard. He is really still needed at the critical moment, whether it is standing up at the time of the assassination, or improvised thinking in the court now, he is worthy of being a talent!

Looking at King Yue's longevity, he was a little complacent there. Wei Ziheng turned his head and looked at him with a dark face: You really treat me as a tool man!

Soon, the three of them had serious expressions, and this kind of exam question really made them feel tricky, but fortunately, they were experienced, and they had also thought about this question, so they still spoke their answers fluently.

First of all, the first one was Mu Renhe, I saw that he was full of confidence and spoke very imposingly: "The Chu-Yue border issue is indeed the top priority of my country today, it cannot be avoided or ignored, and it is imperative to solve him."

In my opinion, this problem comes from the amnesty of the people of Wu by Goujian, the king of Yue, who was strong in the past, and the people of Wu were convinced, and all the fanatics who disobeyed the Yue country by force were brought to justice. Chu crosses the border, and we can't make the slightest concession. This is the land that our country deserves. Of course, we can assist in the repatriation of those Chu people who remain in our country. It's good for both parties. After all, our Yue country is now a hegemonic country, and there will never be the slightest concession in the territory, otherwise it will damage the national prestige and the majesty of the Yue king. ”

Wei Ziheng has been standing beside King Yue, paying close attention to King Yue's expression. These were the words of the past, and when he heard these compliments, he might have begun to be proud, but now he didn't do this, just nodded slightly. However, the reaction of the ministers was fierce, as if this practice represented the majority of the Vietnamese courtiers, and they all expressed their approval. The heart of the strong country in their hearts is still very strong, and now the state of Chu is declining, and the country of Yue is at the time of its strength, why should it give the state of Chu a few points in the territory?

The second Lu Li took a few steps forward, lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said: "The State of Chu has been a great country since ancient times, they are fertile for thousands of miles, with mountains and rivers, millions of people, and even more big rivers flowing, Dongting Lake, Yunmeng Ze, and countless high-quality environments. There are many Jinshi mountain mines, alpine forests, and rich resources in China, which is the capital of a big country!

Judging from the history books, the state of Chu has always been a tiger in the south, and during the period of King Zhuang of Chu, the state of Chu has always been concerned about the position of the overlord of the Central Plains, and the allusion of winning the Central Plains must be familiar to everyone. Chu Ba's heart is known to passers-by. This hidden evil, why do we give him portability? In my opinion, the land disputed on the Chu-Yue border must be taken back, and in addition, it is necessary to attack the Chu State again, seize more land and people, and not only plunder wealth, but also plunder all kinds of rare minerals. Our metallurgical iron-making technology in Yue is famous in China, and the Jin Kingdom in the far north even asked us for a batch of high-quality weapons and goods, all kinds of metallurgical materials, Chu has everything.

Under all these conditions, why do we, as the hegemonic powers, have a reason not to continue the hegemony? How heroic the first king Goujian was, pointing at the Central Plains and shocking China, my juniors should have been not to be outdone and fought to catch up. It is necessary to suppress the state of Chu and prevent them from having the possibility of becoming strong again, and at the same time continue to target the state of Qi. Compared with the state of Chu, which was attacked by the state of Wu, the state of Qi in our north is now the real blocker of our hegemony.

I have some news in my hand, and the magnates of the Qi royal family may be the driving force behind the murder in our Chu State Palace this time. They hired the Night Ghost to carry out the assassination. This is a provocation to the status of our hegemon, the enemy has already bullied the head, why can't we draw our swords? Fight back! Are we all cowards? ”

These remarks shocked the world, and all the people present looked at each other sideways, and the remarks full of passionate patriotic feelings immediately attracted the attention of a large number of courtiers, and they immediately whispered in the audience.

"That's right, we're the overlords, so why be afraid? Whether it is the state of Chu or the state of Qi, we should not be weak and retreat, and take the strongest posture to deal with it. ”

"Is it really the group of people from the Qi royal family? It's simply terrible, our Langya City, over the years, has repeatedly suffered from threats and provocations from the Qi State, the border fighting is unstoppable, the relationship between the two countries has dropped to the freezing point, and there is a possibility of a large-scale war breaking out at any time. We can't just let Qi go away! They must be beaten hard! ”

For a while, the ministers were angry and impassioned, and everyone showed an extremely fierce side. But it is true that the Yue Kingdom, as the overlord country, was assassinated by the enemy, and even the King of Yue was almost killed, so deep hatred, if it was really done by the Qi State, I am afraid that a big war is inevitable. Wei Ziheng thought carefully on the side, looked around at King Yue beside him, and saw that his expression seemed to be infected by these words. The corners of his eyes moved slightly, thoughtfully.

After a moment of pause, the third master walked out, he was very decisive, and said directly: "My opinion is different from that of the first two ministers. In analyzing such a major national event, we must focus on the overall situation and must not be emotional. It is important to take into account both national capacities and other countries' responses.

Our country is located in the southeastern corner, and if it is not connected with the Central Plains, the small countries in the Central Plains cannot pose a threat to us. However, we have two very powerful neighbors, the state of Chu and the state of Qi. If we imagine that for the sake of hegemony, we have an unfriendly attitude towards these two countries at the same time. What if these two countries are forced to cooperate in attacking our country?

In terms of the art of war, it is a time of danger, and it is a national taboo not to be able to live in harmony with neighbors. In order to continue our hegemony and continue to dominate the Central Plains, we can also continue the hegemony and policies left by the wishes of the past generations. Starting from Goujian, the king of Yue, to Luying, the king of Yue, the situation and policy of our Yue country are actually very obvious, but it is not right for us to try our best to change this.

First of all, for the state of Chu, whether it was in the era of King Goujian of Yue or the era of King Luying of Yue, our relationship with the state of Chu has always been relatively friendly. After all, we have personally eliminated the state of Wu, the henchman of the state of Chu, and the state of Chu has no reason to refuse our friendship. It's just that the border dispute that is happening now is that there are some voices that are not very friendly to us in the government of Chu State. That's why some unfriendly things happen.

But after all, this is the opposition of the courtiers, and in front of the king, the relationship between Chu and Yue has always been relatively harmonious. In the event of wanton destruction, the consequences will be borne by our border people.

However, looking at our northern Qi country, that is the thorn in our eye and the nail in the flesh. Langya, the capital city that threatened us several times, wars between Qi and Yue occurred from time to time, and we did not pay attention to the danger that was so close at hand, but instead went to target the Chu State, which was far away from us. You must know that the distance from our Langya to the capital of Chu is even farther than the distance from the Central Plains. With such a geographical situation, why should we provoke the Chu State?

In my opinion, the division of the territory was still not clear enough, and Gou Jian, the king of Yue at that time, was anxious to plot the Central Plains and neglected the division of the Chu-Yue border. Specific measures should be to actively coordinate with the king of Chu to appease the feelings of the border people and redivide the territory. It is necessary to take into account the interests of both sides, you must know that these lands on the Chu-Yue border are actually dispensable for the fertile Chu State, and now they are taking it out to talk about things, but those courtiers of the Chu State are just trying to earn a breath. Those frontier lands are barren, wild beasts are infested, and the people are scarce, and arguing with us in such a wild country is nothing more than a matter of face.

We must focus on the vicinity of Langya City, deal with the Qi State in the north, and continue to build momentum in the Central Plains. This is the perfect policy, if it is as radical as Minister Lu Li said just now, once the war is lost, the hegemony of the Vietnamese country will be ruined. I hope you will think about it. ”

Such an emotional narrative, as well as an analysis of the world's major events, and worries about the fate and future of the country, are vividly expressed in words.

Yue Wang Bushou was suddenly a little surprised, he lowered his head and touched his forehead with his right hand, thinking carefully. Wei Ziheng also felt a look as a minister of the DPRK and China at this time, he was still young, he didn't know a lot of things, and he didn't express himself in words.

In the end, Yue Wang Bushou stood up and announced his final answer: "The three ministers have their own opinions, and their words are reasonable. Among the three analysis schemes, I agree with the one who is higher! His words deeply affected me, and I felt that people should have a far-sighted vision and be able to think about the world. Born can retreat with the whole body, and the hidden world can be famous all over the world. I'm the prime minister I need! ”

Suddenly, some uproar voices gradually appeared, but they quickly disappeared, and more of them were Daohe, the group of courtiers who originally supported the high, and now their faces were happy.

Next, Wei Ziheng read out the congratulatory words in a very stylish manner, and also took out some items and symbolic official seals about the prime minister. The Prime Minister's investiture ceremony began simply.

This was followed by a national announcement of the Assassin incident, as well as condolences for the assassinations of several old ministers, and congratulations on the appearance of a new prime minister.

When the people of the country heard what was being said from the officials, some of them were furious and expressed their support for the capture of the assassins. Soon, patriotic enthusiasm rose throughout the country. At the same time, the news that the Qi royal family may be behind the scenes gradually flowed into the private market, and soon the hostility towards the Qi State became increasingly strong. Border relations between the two countries are tense, and a major war seems imminent.
