Fan Yao and Gao Yan talked a few more words outside, and after a delay of some time, the two hurried to the court, but fortunately they did not miss the early court.

Gongsun Xue sat on the dragon chair and talked about Huaiguo: "Ladies and gentlemen, it has been a few days since the mission of Huaiguo to seek peace came to the capital, and I now want to hear your Aiqing's opinion on this matter!" ”

When Gao Yan heard this, he immediately said: "Qiqi Sheng, the minister thinks that since Huaiguo has sued for peace, my country should show its magnanimity and agree to righteousness, but the bargaining chips of righteousness need to be discussed. ”

As soon as these words came out, the court immediately began to discuss it. But Gao Yangui is a general and the emperor's brother-in-law, and others dare not refute it directly.

Gongsun Luo was very angry on the side, he didn't expect Gao Yan to be inclined to righteousness, but he didn't dare to take the initiative to stand up and raise objections, after all, Gao Yan held the military power and was the person he had to woo.

Gongsun Ze saw that the hundred officials only dared to discuss but did not dare to speak, so he took the initiative to ask: "Do other people have different opinions?" ”

Officials, you look at me, I don't think you dare to stand up. Sun Kang, the prince of Qi, couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to stand up: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Huaiguo is at the end of the crossbow at this time, and it is a good time for me to send troops." After laying Huaiguo, my Dayan will have a foothold in the Central Plains and lay the foundation for winning the world in the future! ”

When Gongsun Luo heard this, he was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately stood up: "Father, the son thinks that what the two adults said is right. In comparison, it seems that the benefits of sending troops are greater. And Zheng Guo also promised my country, as long as the territory we have laid belongs to our country, if we are late, Huaiguo will be taken by Zheng Guo in one fell swoop! ”

As soon as the ministers of the main battle faction heard this, they immediately began to echo it, and for a while, the wind direction above the main hall was inclined to send troops.

At this time, Gongsun Zhi also stood up: "Father Qi, the son thinks that what the general said is reasonable, at this time, righteousness and benefit are greater than sending troops!" ”

When Gongsun Luo heard this, he immediately asked: "I remember that a few days ago, the second brother took the initiative to meet the envoys of Huaiguo, could it be that the second brother accepted any benefits from Huaiguo?" No matter how you look at it, it is more advantageous to send troops! ”

"Big brother, don't worry, let me speak slowly!" Speaking of this, Gongsun Zhi looked at Gongsun Ze: "Father, there are three advantages to choosing to be with Huai Guoyi!" ”

"First, give Huaiguo time to breathe, and let Huaiguo become a buffer between Yan and Zheng! Defeat Huaiguo, then my Yan Kingdom will border Zheng Guo in a large area, Zheng Guo's wolf ambition, and my Yan Kingdom will become its next target. Leaving Huaiguo, we can develop secretly, taoguang and obscurity, and bring it to the south in one fell swoop when the strength allows! ”

"Second, the foundation of our country is in the north, and the country of Huai is in the southwest of our country, and after it is laid, it is necessary to send a large army to station, which must have many inconveniences. And Jingguo in the northwest of our country is also in civil strife now, and Huaiguo Yihe can free up his hands to fight Jingguo closer to my country! ”

"Third, our country's acceptance of Huaiguo's righteousness at this time is to send charcoal to Huaiguo, and in the future, Huaiguo will be the only one who will look forward to our country!"

As soon as these words came out, the court immediately quieted down, and everyone was savoring Gongsun Zhi's words, only Fan Yao couldn't help but admire in his heart, and looked at Gongsun Zhi and nodded with satisfaction.

Gongsun Zhi also wondered in his heart, Gongsun Zhi's opinion was actually the same as Fan Yao's, could it be that Fan Yao had ventilated with Gongsun Zhi in advance?

Gao Yanzheng was struggling to refute well, and when he heard Gongsun Zhi's words, he was overjoyed, and immediately said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what His Royal Highness said is extremely true!" Now is a good time to send troops to Jingguo, and at the same time can sell favors to Huaiguo, why don't we do it? ”

Gongsun Xue squinted his eyes and looked at the military officials under the hall, and now the prime minister, the general and the second child are all inclined to righteousness, and I am afraid that others will not dare to refute. It's just that what Zhi'er said today could it be instructed by Fan Yao?

Thinking of this, Gongsun Xue immediately announced his retirement from the dynasty, and the matter will be discussed tomorrow.

After getting out of the court, Gongsun Xue summoned Fan Yao to his bedroom: "What Zhi'er said today is your instruction?" ”

Fan Yao smiled: "The minister guessed that His Majesty would come to ask the minister, what His Royal Highness said today is definitely not the meaning of the minister, it should be the situation analyzed by His Royal Highness himself." ”

"That's too much of a coincidence, isn't it? The two of you are actually analyzing eight or nine and ten? With what I know about Zhi'er, he shouldn't have imagined this kind of situation! ”

"His Royal Highness is diligent and inquisitive, and it is reasonable to have such progress, this is the luck of my Yan Kingdom!"

Gongsun Xue narrowed his eyes: "What about your son?" I heard that Fan Yi has been getting closer to Zhi'er recently, could it be that Fan Yi accidentally learned about your analysis and then secretly told Zhi'er? ”

Fan Yao hurriedly shook his head: "Your Majesty, do you know that I will never be involved in the affairs of His Highness and Second Highness." Fan Yi has his own choice, but after all, he has to rely on himself, and the minister will never make such a mistake! ”

Gongsun Xue sighed after hearing this, he has known Fan Yao for many years, Fan Yao has no need to lie to himself about this kind of thing, so it can only be analyzed by Zhi'er himself.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Xue said: "Now that I think about it, it makes sense to be the prime minister, Jingguo and Huaiguo are also fat, why should they go far and near?" Eating the fat of Jingguo, my country can dominate the Central Plains and Jiangnan in the north, and this is also the safest choice at present. Tomorrow I will announce the same meaning and peace, and then summon Zhang Shumo! ”

"Oh, yes!" As soon as he talked about Zhang Shumo, Gongsun Xue continued: "Rong'er told me that Zhang Shumo is willing to stay in Yan Country for Gao Ning'er, what do you think of this?" ”

Fan Yao raised his eyebrows: "Weichen doesn't know what Zhang Shumo thinks, but obviously the general's family has accepted Zhang Shumo!" ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"The general suddenly leaned towards Yihe, it must be for Zhang Shumo's sake. And earlier today, the general stopped me and wanted me to hold a poetry party, and asked me to ask Zhang Shumo. I think the general wants to build momentum for Zhang Shumo and accumulate talent and fame for him, so that he can marry Gao Ning'er. Fan Yao said.

Gongsun Ze's eyes widened in surprise: "There is still such a thing?" But the military power of my Yan Kingdom will definitely not be handed over to an outsider, and it is difficult to beat Lao Gao, so he plans to let go? ”

"So it must be so! The general is old and has a daughter, and there is only one daughter Gao Ning'er, his love for his daughter is known to the world, so it is not surprising that he chose this way, but ......" Fan Yao did not finish his words.

"Just how?" Gongsun Ze immediately asked.

"It's just that the minister is worried that Zhang Shumo doesn't really like Gao Ning'er, he just wants to use Gao Ning'er to control the general, so as to wait for the opportunity to provoke our court. After all, according to Weichen's intelligence, Zhang Shumo already has a wife in Huaiguo, and he is very affectionate! ”

Gongsun Ze narrowed his eyes after hearing this: "Since this is the case, the prime minister will find a way to reveal the news to the general and let him choose for himself!" ”
