Chapter 744: Join forces to destroy Chu
(); Shangguan Jin has assisted King Qing for many years, and the two of them are naturally familiar with each other.
And his coughing sound, neither big nor small, just made Qingwang notice him.
Seeing this, Qingwang's heart moved slightly.
In fact, his words had already reached his lips, but he hurriedly changed his words at Chu Xiang: "Chu Xiang is tired of traveling, please go to the post house to rest first, and then make a decision after this king and the ministers have discussed it." ”
"This ......" I thought that King Qing would agree without hesitation, but I didn't expect it to be like this again, Chu Xiang was helpless, but this kind of national event, people want to discuss it with their courtiers, and it is also reasonable, he has no choice, in the end, he can only give a salute to King Qing, and then retire.
After he left, King Qing immediately looked at Shangguan Jin, and couldn't help asking, "What did the prime minister mean by hinting at this king just now?" ”
Shangguan Jin stood up and said, "Did Wei Chen see that the king was about to agree to Chu Relative just now?" ”
Qingwang said: "Of course! If you can get Chu's help, this king has absolute confidence that he can annihilate the Wind Country! What is it to give up a Dongyang and Guiyuan! Why did the prime minister stop it? ”
Shangguan Jin explained: "I'm afraid the king is too underestimated by this new King of Chu, if the Chu State really allies the youth to attack the wind, then after the destruction of the Wind Country, the next one is the Chu State, such a cold truth, doesn't the King of Chu understand?" ”
"This ......," Qingwang said.
Shangguan Jin continued: "What the State of Chu has to do is either to remain neutral, or to unite weak countries to resist the strong, he will definitely not help one country destroy another, this is also the old King of Chu's way of checks and balances." Therefore, the real purpose of the Chu State is just to return to the two counties of Dongyang and Guiyuan, once the goal is achieved, does the king think that the Chu army will continue to attack the wind? ”
"How dare he!? If the state of Chu dares to tease the king, then the king will lead the army to attack Chu! Qingwang said with a glare.
"He will definitely dare, because once the king defeats Chu, the state of Chu will inevitably lean towards the country of wind, and then the alliance will attack the country, what can the king do?" Shangguan Jin said bluntly.
"This ......," the Green King said again.
After a pause, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "What about the prime minister's opinion?" Should not be at the request of the state of Chu? ”
Shangguan Jin said: "Not only should it not, but it should be annihilated!" ”
"What!?" When Qingwang heard this, he was taken aback, he really hadn't thought about it that way.
Shangguan Jin continued to explain: "If Chu is destroyed, then there are only two countries left in the world, and the national strength of the Wind Country is not as good as that of our country. And before the wind is extinguished, the wavering factor of the Chu State must be eradicated! Because of the presence of the Chu State, Qing will never be able to extinguish the wind, and the wind will never be able to extinguish the Qing. ”
As he spoke, he said: "And within five years, in the battle of Fengqing, my country's chances of victory are even greater!" Once it drags on for five years, it will happen! At that time, it will be impossible to know who will win and who will lose in the battle of the world. ”
After listening to his explanation, the Qing King couldn't help but take a deep breath, and asked with a gloomy gaze: "But if the alliance is destroyed, will the Wind King agree?" I'm afraid he doesn't want to fight our country in the next five years, right? ”
"En......" Shangguan Jin pondered for a moment, and then arched his hand to King Qing and said: "Great King, Weichen is willing to go to the Wind Land and send an envoy to the Wind Country to lobby the Wind King about this matter. ”
Hearing this, King Qing's eyes couldn't help but widen, Prime Minister Shangguan Jin, a high and powerful position, for so many years, he has rarely had an envoy, but now, but he personally asked for his life, at this time, what else can King Qingwang say, after he reacted, he also said: "Prime Minister, Qingdu is far away from Fengzhou, not to mention thousands of miles, the boat and car are tired, this king can't bear it." ”
"Thank you to the king, it is the honor of your ministers to share the worries of the king." Shangguan Jin said.
Qingwang just wanted to warm Shangguan Jin's heart, but in fact, of course, he was willing to go to Shangguan Jin to envoy Fengguo, because in that case, the chances of success would be much greater!
Now hearing Shangguan Jin say this, he no longer hesitated, but immediately said: "Okay, this trip, there will be Prime Minister Lao." ”
The decision-making on Qingguo's side, due to Shangguan Jin's advice, was almost the same as that of Fengguo's, in fact, at this time, Lu Chen had already planned to use Li Miaocai as an envoy to Qingguo, but he didn't expect that Shangguan Jin came first.
After hearing the news, Lu Chen was amazed, and at the same time, he immediately ordered Xue Huairen, the right minister, to let him personally receive Shangguan Jin.
It is not difficult to see how much Lu Chen attaches importance to Shangguan Jin.
Because Shangguan Jin, in the imperial history books, is known as a generation of famous figures, he assisted King Qing in his life, attacked several countries, and made the already good national strength of Qingguo stronger! Qingguo can be ranked the first power in the Central Plains, and Shangguan Jin is absolutely indispensable!
Such a generation of celebrities, no matter which country he goes to, will be highly respected, especially some of his statecraft theories, Lu Chen has carefully read them, and he is also sincerely admired for his talent.
When Shangguan Jin's envoy guard of honor arrived in Fengzhou, it was greeted by Xue Huairen on behalf of Fengguo, the two prime ministers, both literati, after meeting, the etiquette was in place, and then, Xue Huairen invited him into the prime minister's mansion.
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, the two sat down as guests, and after Xue Huairen ordered his subordinates to serve tea, he also stretched out his hand slightly, and said with a smile: "Shangguan Prime Minister please." ”
"Xue Xiang, please." Shangguan Jin also said something, and then the two of them each picked up their teacups and took a sip gently.
Shangguan Jin's age is younger than Xue Huairen, but the two have one thing in common, that is, their temperament is very similar.
Shangguan Jin's body is wearing the official uniform of the prime minister of Qingguo, and Xue Huairen is wearing the official uniform of the wind phase, although the colors are different, but they generally look similar, of course, both of them are not wearing official hats.
After taking a sip of tea, Xue Huairen put down the teacup and took the lead in speaking: "Shangguan Prime Minister Wang Zuozhicai, who has the strategy of rejuvenating the country and securing the country, is the first minister in the world, and has admired the name for a long time, but he has never had the opportunity to meet. ”
What he said was too polite, Shangguan Jin heard this, and hurriedly said: "Xue Xiang praises absurdly, how can he be virtuous in the next, how dare he teach, but Xue Xiangyou, among the people of the world, is known as a virtuous name, and is respected by scholars from all over the world. ”
"Huh? Prime Minister Shangguan is too modest......"
The two exchanged pleasantries, and after being polite, Xue Huairen also began to ask: "When does Prime Minister Shangguan plan to enter the palace to meet my king?" ”
Shangguan Jin pondered for a while, and said with a slight smile: "This is not in a hurry, if Xue Xiang doesn't dislike it, I want to bother here for a day and discuss some governance issues with Xue Xiang." ”
When Xue Huairen heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he hurriedly said: "It's so good, and I have this intention in the future." ”
