The weather in Jiangcheng is getting colder day by day.

The cold wind is howling, which makes people a little unbearable.

Jiangcheng is actually not a particularly cold city, but there are no cotton clothes, and for many people, the winter here is still very difficult.

Early in the morning, the cold wind was howling, the sky was just bright, and there were few pedestrians on the streets of the entire Jiangcheng.

In front of the palace, a group of officials waited for the court.

It's just that because the weather is too cold, the people who come to the court hide in their carriages and refuse to come out.

Fan Zeng, as the prime minister, his carriage is naturally the most luxurious.

And in the cold wind, his carriage stopped at the front of the palace, and it seemed very quiet.

It's quiet all around.

Fan Zeng sat in the carriage and suddenly sighed.

In the past few days, he has been thinking about whether to propose peace with Tang Guo, he has been thinking about it for a long time, and it was not until last night that he finally made a decision.

Seeking peace is a must, otherwise the state of Chu will really be wiped out, but it's just a matter of face, what is it?

This morning, he was going to bring up this matter.

And just now, he thought about it carefully again and felt that his choice was not wrong.

The cold wind was still blowing, the palace gate opened, and a eunuch ran out and shouted: "Go to court!" ”

With a shout, the ministers walked out of their respective carriages, and then shrunk their necks and rushed to the palace, the wind was too strong, and only when they entered the main hall could they be a little warmer.

Not long after the ministers came to the main hall, Chu Yu came.

Although Yu Ji is beautiful, Chu Yu is not obsessed with beauty at this time, and the major affairs of the DPRK and China should be dealt with, and with someone like Fan Zeng, Chu Yu does not dare to sleep lazy.

Once, Chu Yuxin was fortunate to have a concubine, but he couldn't get up in the morning, Fan Zeng didn't give any face, and rushed in with his ministers, scaring the concubine at that time.

Since then, Chu Yu didn't dare to go to the early dynasty easily.

After the ministers saluted, they began to discuss government affairs, but Fan Zeng didn't speak much today, until the sun had risen and the temperature gradually increased, Fan Zeng finally spoke: "Holy Lord, the minister has something to say." ”

For Fan Zeng, Chu Yu was still very respectful, and asked, "Oh, what does Fan Aiqing want to say?" ”

"Shengshang, before General Yingbu and the Han State fought a big defeat, the strength of the Han State is not what it used to be, if the Han State and the Tang State join forces, my Chu State is in danger, yes, the minister thinks that he should find a way to avoid this crisis."

Fan Zeng's words came out, and the ministers looked at each other, and there was a sudden noise in the entire hall.

Yingbu was defeated, this is the shame of their Chu State, after returning from Yingbu, few people dared to mention it in the court, because whoever mentioned it would make Chu Yu angry, but now, Fan Zeng, the prime minister, has mentioned it.

And after he mentioned it, many people were a little frightened, but at the same time they felt that it was very necessary, because this problem did not exist if they didn't mention it, and after this winter, if the Han State and the Tang Kingdom really joined forces, their situation would not be good.

The discussion was endless, and Chu Yu's expression was a little ugly, but now that Fan Zeng had raised this question, he couldn't help but face it, and after thinking about it, Chu Yu asked, "Then Fan Aiqing thinks that how to solve this matter?" ”

Everyone looked at Fan Zeng, and they felt that since Fan Zeng had raised this question, he must have an answer. Fan Zeng said: "Shengshang, the Han State and my Chu State are incompatible, so naturally they can't plot anything with them, but the Tang State and my Chu State do not have much grudge, and the Tang State and the Han State join forces, just to get angry, so the minister's meaning, you might as well make peace with Tang, in this way, Tang does not interfere, just rely on the Han State, want to fight with my Chu State, but it is unlikely, and after we destroy the Han State, we will turn our heads and deal with the Tang State." ”

This is a very good way, but after Fan Zeng finished speaking, Chu Yu's face became more and more difficult to look at.

"Make peace with the Tang Kingdom?"

Speaking of this, Chu Yu smiled again: "Who have I asked for peace with in the Chu State?" Although Han Xin is powerful, if I make a move, I will definitely be able to destroy him. ”

Chu Yu opposed peace, Fan Zeng had already expected this, he knew Chu Yu very well, it was really not easy for him to seek peace, but for the sake of Chu State, he had to take a risk.

"Holy Lord, it's just a temporary compromise, as long as we get through this difficulty, we will still take revenge in the future."

Chu Yu pursed his lips: "I don't expect them to dare to do anything to my Chu State." ”

Chu Yu's meaning was still to oppose peace.

Seeing this, Fan Zeng continued: "Holy Lord, please think about it for the Chu State, the Tang State and the Han State are two, the situation of my Chu State is not good, do you want to watch the Chu State in your hands and forget it?" ……”

Fan Zeng muttered, every word he said was very reasonable, but Chu Yu heard it, but he couldn't accept it, he asked for peace, he was too wronged, he Chu overlord fought all his life, when did he ask for peace with whom?

Moreover, what is the matter of suing for peace before the war is fought?

"Enough!"

Just when Fan Zeng was still talking, Chu Yu suddenly drank all his life, interrupting his words, Chu Yu didn't want to continue listening, he glanced at the ministers in the main hall, and shouted: "Retreat from the dynasty." ”

Retreat, the wind outside is still cold.

When Fan Zeng left, he didn't feel anything, because he knew very well that if he wanted to make Chu Yu sue for peace through an early dynasty, it was unlikely, and he would continue to say that within a few days, he should be able to impress Chu Yu.

This matter, as long as he Fan Zeng wants to do it, there is nothing that he can't do.

It's just that just when Fan Zeng was thinking like this, an official named Sun Yaowu from the Chu State came to the imperial study.

Chu Yu was originally angry, but when he saw Sun Yaowu coming, he glared at him and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Holy Lord, the minister has something to tell you."

"Say it quickly." Chu Yu was a little impatient, but Sun Yaowu was not in a hurry, and said: "Holy Lord, my Chu State has not yet fought with the Tang State, and the Prime Minister asked us to ask the Tang State for peace, this matter is really weird." ”

When Sun Yaowu said this, Chu Yu also felt a little weird, because Fan Zeng was not like this before, he glanced at Sun Yaowu: "Go on." "Oh, Holy Lord, the Prime Minister's move is to look too highly on the Tang State, and let the Chu State ask the Tang State for peace, isn't this belittling our Chu State? I heard that the Prime Minister has been very close to that Chen Ping recently, this matter is too strange, this Chen Ping used to be a poor man, but recently he suddenly became rich

He has frequent contacts with the prime minister, but he is afraid that he has given the prime minister a lot of benefits, and the source of Chen Ping's money is very problematic. ”

"What do you mean by this, do you suspect that Chen Ping is from the Tang Kingdom?" "Exactly, the Holy One should send someone to investigate."
