Although King Qi was still hesitating, he was a little unbearable.

But the ministers focused their firepower on Lin Yan, whether it was Xuanwu Hou's people, or Qi Wang's people, or even Tian Wu's people.

But in the end, King Qi still said strongly: "An Banghou's injury is not healed and he can't walk, and this matter will be discussed later." The top priority at the moment is to defend against foreign enemies, and the secretaries of state should make reasonable suggestions on this matter and should not say anything else. ”

Seeing that King Qi was resolute, it was not easy for the ministers to hold on to Lin Yan.

The court was silent for a while, and it fell silent.

Unexpectedly, King Qi suddenly became furious: "When you wait for infighting, when you denounce An Banghou, you will work together, and no one is willing to lag behind; When Jean took the idea to defend against foreign enemies, he pretended to be deaf and dumb one by one. ”

The ministers bowed their heads and remained silent.

In the end, Xiangguo Cai Hun broke the silence: "Your Majesty, now that you are fighting on two fronts, the pressure on our army is too great, and the national strength cannot withstand it." It is better to send someone to negotiate peace with the king of Wei, as long as Wei withdraws its troops, Zhao and Han will follow him. At that time, there will be Yan Country left, and it will be much easier to deal with. ”

King Qi hurriedly asked, "What do you want to talk to King Wei?" ”

Cai Hun replied: "The king of Wei has always wanted to fight for hegemony, so the king relied on him and respected Wei as the overlord. ”

King Qi is unwilling! originally wanted to accumulate prestige for himself through the battle against Yan. But in this way, the anti-Chinese people laughed.

But I thought in my heart: At that time, I can only divert the attention of the Chinese people and put the responsibility on Anbanghou's head!

So he replied: "That's it, the matter of peace talks with King Wei will be arranged by Xiangguo." ”

Cai Hun immediately sent an envoy to Wei.

......

Ampang Houfu.

After everyone learned about the court, they were angry in their hearts!

Lin Shi scolded directly: "It's all a group of villains, afraid of death, and they have fallen into the well, it's a big deal for us to go to the front line." ”

Dongfang Jiao asked worriedly: "Young Master Qiao, what will the king do with the master?" ”

Ji Qiao comforted: "The war is important now, and the king's top priority is to find a way to resist foreign enemies, and he will not blame the master for the time being." Let's wait and see how the situation develops. ”

Lin Shi immediately said: "Then let my father keep pretending to be injured and not going to the court, so as not to be ridiculed by other ministers." ”

Dongfang Jiao disagreed: "The imperial doctors have been diagnosed, your father will be able to walk in half a month, how can you pretend again, you will be seen as a joke." ”

Ji Qiao said: "This method is feasible, but you can't pretend to be injured, you can pretend to be sick, and then you can talk about any illness, and others can't do anything about the master." ”

Lin Shi was happy again: "Ji Qiao said that I had a good way, but my mother liked to oppose it." ”

......

A few days later, the palace of Qi, the court.

The envoy returned: "Your Majesty, the King of Wei said: This battle cannot be fought by the Qi State as soon as it wants, and it can be withdrawn if it wants to. What's more, Wei has promised the three kingdoms of Yan, Zhao and Han to work together to resist Qi, and if they withdraw their troops now, they will lose their trust in the world. ”

When King Qi heard this, he suddenly became afraid! Could it be that the four countries want to destroy the Qi country?

Now he can't care about the internal contradictions, so he directly ordered the general: "Xuanwu Hou, you have followed the previous king for many years and have rich combat experience, and now you are rushing to the Western Front to lead the army to resist the Three Jin Alliance." ”

Xuanwu Hou immediately stepped forward and said, "Obey!" But the minister has a request, ask Admiral Wang to beat the culprit Lin Yan to a large prison, so that we can march for our army! ”

King Qi was a little hesitant!

But the ministers unanimously supported Xuanwu's move.

Now that the war is imminent, King Qi had no choice but to say against his will: "Okay, Lone, let people bring An Banghou." ”

......

After the people of the king of Qi arrived at the Anbang Houfu.

Ji Qiao knew she had to face it.

So he made some explanations with Dongfang Jiao and others, and then went to the palace with Lin Yan.

As soon as the two entered the court, someone began to read out Lin Yan's crime: Anbang waited for the evil words to bring disaster to the country, regardless of ......

Unexpectedly, Ji Qiao stopped directly: "Don't read it, isn't it just to convict my master, but I want to know the reason for this conviction?" If it is unreasonable......"

Before Ji Qiao finished speaking, someone scolded loudly: "You are so presumptuous!" dared to disturb the court. ”

Ji Qiao ignored this person, but asked unhurriedly: "Ladies and gentlemen, is it true that if this battle is won, my lord will not be guilty, and if he loses, he will be guilty?" ”

The ministers did not reply.

Ji Qiao continued: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, who will dare to admonish the court in the future?" If you say the wrong thing, you will go to jail! What's more, my lord didn't say it wrong, he had reminded him of the Three Jin Dynasty at that time, but the king was careless, the courtiers were incompetent, and the soldiers couldn't fight. According to this reasoning, should they all go to jail? ”

Immediately, someone shouted and accused: "You say that I am incompetent, but I dare to slander the king!" ”

King Qi said: "Gongzi Qiao is right! It is careless, and it should be held responsible. ”

Ji Qiao said again: "Actually, the king is not responsible at all, the matter has already been arranged." It's just that these civil and military generals are incompetent, afraid of death and have no ideas, and they are even more incapable. ”

Many ministers immediately disagreed: "You are not afraid of death, you go to the front." ”

Ji Qiao replied: "What's the matter! But when I came, I heard from the people who invited my lord that it was the king who wanted Xuanwu to share the worries of the country, but he took the opportunity to vent his personal hatred. In that case, if my lord agrees to go to the front, can he also designate one of you to go to prison at will? ”

The crowd was refuted by what they said unreasonably.

Ji Qiao said directly to Tian Ren: "Xuanwu Hou, if my master is willing to go to the front line, can you also ask the king to put you in prison?" ”

Tian Ren knew that he was not right, so he argued: "If you go to the front line, you will also be sent to death!" ”

Ji Qiao smiled proudly: "Xuanwu Hou, you can't say that, you don't want to think about it, you can win once when you fight with my master?" The first time you lost, you can be considered careless, but what about the second and third time? Don't you think it's your own incompetence to lose again and again? ”

Tian Ren yelled angrily: "The child is presumptuous! ”

King Qi didn't want to annoy Xuanwu Hou, and expected him to lead his troops to resist the enemy, so he persuaded: "Young Master Qiao, some words can be stopped!" If you have a unique view of the war, you can boldly put it forward. ”

The ministers said in their hearts: How can you be bold? They didn't take us seriously.

Ji Qi immediately replied: "Your Majesty, there are not two fronts now, I want to make a bet with Xuanwu Hou, choose one each, if whoever fights the enemy outside the country first, will be counted as the one who loses." ”

The ministers thought to themselves: This kid is so angry! War is not child's play, will you?

Tian Ren said: "The northern line is to resist the Yan family, and the western line is to resist the Three Jin coalition forces, and the Three Jin Dynasty invaded the Qi State in a long depth; In addition, there are more soldiers on the northern front and more enemy troops on the western front. Therefore, the difficulty of the war on the two fronts is too different, and how should it be chosen? ”

Ji Qiao is very generous: "My lord chooses the western route, and the northern route will be given to you." ”

Tian Ren was very surprised! Why is this kid so sure? I couldn't help but ask curiously, "What is the bet?" ”

Ji Qiao replied: "If we lose, I will lose my life; If Xuanwu Hou loses, he will hand over the army of Fuzhong to the king. ”
