Chapter 746: Above the Court
The Great Hall of the Imperial Council of the Wind Country.
At the gate of the palace, there were forbidden troops on both sides, and after walking here, Xue Huairen stood beside the soldiers, stretched out his hand towards Shangguan Jin and said, "Shangguan Cheng, please." ”
"Xue Xiang, please."
Subsequently, the two entered the hall at the same time, at this time in the hall, Lu Chen was already sitting on the throne, and the civil and military officials were also all there, after seeing Shangguan Jin, the hundred officials were located on both sides of the train, and they couldn't help but turn sideways and look back.
After the two of them walked to the front, Xue Huairen knelt on the ground and shouted loudly: "Weichen see the king." ”
"Xiangguo, please." Lu Chen waved his hand slightly to signal him to flatten.
At this time, Shangguan Jin also bowed his hand, bent down at Lu Chen, and bowed deeply, and said, "Foreign envoy Shangguan Jin, I have seen His Royal Highness the Wind King." ”
As the prime minister of a country, when he meets the monarch of another country, his etiquette is very standard and in place, neither inferior nor arrogant, but neither humble nor arrogant.
Lu Chen also smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and said, "Prime Minister Shangguan doesn't have to be polite. ”
After he straightened up, Lu Chen also asked straight to the point: "I don't know what happened to Prime Minister Shangguan this time?" ”
"Back to Your Highness, come here, especially for the alliance to destroy Chu." Shangguan Jin said directly.
Hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but be shocked, to be honest, he thought that Shangguan Jin was here because it was related to the Chu State, but he didn't expect the other party to be so direct.
And the other ministers of the Wind Country in the hall exploded all at once, and people turned their heads and ears one after another, looking chaotic.
Seeing this, Lu Chen coughed slightly.
With his cough, the hall also fell silent all of a sudden, at this time, Li Miaocai was the first to come out, he first arched his hand to Shangguan Jin, and then said: "Under Li Miaocai, I want to ask Shangguan Prime Minister some questions." ”
"It turned out to be Master Li, and I will be fortunate to meet you." Shangguan Jin faced him and arched his hand in return.
Li Miaocai said: "As soon as I entered the wind, I bluntly said that I would destroy Chu, and I dared to ask what the chance of winning was." ”
When Shangguan Jin heard this, he smiled slightly and said, "If Qing and Feng are allied, then Chu will be destroyed, why does Lord Li need to ask." ”
"Definitely." Li Miaocai said: "Chu is a big country, profound heritage, not can be destroyed overnight, and Chu has always been rich, with a large population, if Fengqing conspires to attack Chu, it will inevitably provoke the whole country of Chu to rebel, at that time, if all the people in Chu are soldiers, what should be good?" ”
His question made Shangguan Jin groan slightly, and then said: "The people of Chu are rich in life, and they are all content with the status quo. ”
Hearing this, Li Miaocai paused, then arched his hand to Shangguan Jin again, and retreated back to the train, without saying anything more.
Seeing this, Lu Chen was just about to speak, but at this time, Wang Song stood up again.
He couldn't help but be happy, but he didn't interject, but was happy to watch these ministers debate with Shangguan Jin.
After Wang Song came out of the ranks, like Li Miaocai, he first exchanged salutes with Shangguan Jin, and then said: "Dare to ask the foot, if the two countries attack Chu, how to win." ”
Shangguan Jin said: "If you talk about the wisdom of the monarch, Chu, is not as good as the Qingguo and the Fengguo, this is the first victory." ”
"If you talk about the strategy of the commander, the world's famous generals, Feng Qing each accounts for half of it, this is two wins."
"If you talk about the bravery of the soldiers in the army, the soldiers of the wind army, known as the tiger and wolf, and my Qingguo, the armament is the most in the world, with the elite division to attack Chu, the battle will be won, and the attack will be won! This is a best-of-three. ”
"If you talk about geography, the Fengguo occupies Hanyang and Sanjiangkou, chokes the throat of Chu, and Qingguo occupies Dongyang and Guiyuan, and can also attack Chu at any time.
"Moreover, the two ** teams can present things and things, and make the Chu State suffer from the enemy in the back and abdomen, and it is difficult to take care of the beginning and the end, which is a five-win victory."
He listed the five victories one after another, and then said: "With these five victories, can the Chu State not perish?" ”
When Wang Song heard this, he didn't say anything more, and after bowing his hand slightly, he also returned to the train.
After he retreated, immediately after, Wu Fang stood up again, arched his hand and said: "Although the Fengqing Alliance can destroy Chu, what if the Qingwang goes back on his word and tears up the alliance halfway?" ”
As he spoke, he hurriedly added: "Oh, I am straightforward and fast-talking, Shangguan Prime Minister is a person of elegance, I hope not to be surprised." ”
Shangguan Jin smiled and said, "My king is the king of a country, and he is full of words, how have I ever heard that my king is untrustworthy?" ”
"I'm thinking too much." Wu Fang also retreated.
"Prime Minister Shangguan, you keep saying that Chu will be destroyed, if Chu is really destroyed, how should the two kingdoms deal with post-war affairs." Another minister asked.
Shangguan Jin replied: "In this matter, there should be many capable people, and it is calculated by attacking the city." ”
"Such a military event, such a remark may represent the Qing King?" The minister asked.
Shangguan Jin said: "I am a young man, so why do I need to ask this." ”
He was right, at that time, the position of prime minister could exercise military power, not to mention that Shangguan Jin was still an envoy to Fengguo, and his remarks naturally could fully represent King Qing.
Seeing that there were still ministers to come out, Lu Chen immediately waved his hand and said, "Okay!" What Prime Minister Shangguan said, this king already knows, today's court discussion, this is the end! ”
He directly said that he would withdraw from the court, and he did not say yes or no, and after the dynasty was dispersed, Shangguan Jin was also accompanied by Xue Huairen to the outside of the palace.
On the way out of the palace, Shangguan Jin asked, "Xue Xiang thinks that the Wind King will agree to this?" ”
Xue Huairen glanced at him, shook his head slightly, and said, "My king's mind should be biased towards attacking Chu, but obviously, there will be many ministers who oppose this matter." ”
"Then it's up to the Wind King's decision." Shangguan Jin was not in a hurry.
In fact, even if Shangguan Jin didn't come to Fengzhou, Lu Chen would send an envoy to Qingqing, and in today's court meeting, many ministers also asked Shangguan Jin some questions for him. Lu Chen knew in his heart that it wouldn't be long before a minister would come to him to express his opposition to the matter.
Sure enough, after he returned to the study, it didn't take long for the ministers to come over.
Among them, led by the imperial historian Lu Boyan, together with a group of ministers, after people entered the study, they first knelt on the ground to salute, and then, Lu Boyan said: "The king, Qingxiang Shangguan Jin, clever tongue like a spring, intended to confuse my king, my king must not fall into the Qingguo." ”
"Yes, my lord." Wang Song, the head of the household, followed up and said: "My country has always been friendly with the Chu State, and there is a relationship between the princess and the princess, and the ambition of the wolf son of the Qingguo, if the king joins the Qing to attack Chu, it is tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger......"
