Chapter 1003: Putting on a Show (1)
So there is such a paradox naturally within Xianguo, Bailiyan doesn't need to wag his tail and beg for mercy to do any private transactions related to Weiguo, but Weiguo believes that this is true. The reason for this lies in the fact that the strength and thinking horizons of the two countries are not at the same level in space. If you really do this, won't your IQ be dropped?
But King Xian knows, and at the same time, Lu Gao, Jiang Hao, Jiao Muhua, and the three of them know about it, Bailiyan did this, if he doesn't do this, can the cattle, sheep and horses of the country be easily sold to Xianguo? Can the eldest grandson willingly give up six pieces of land? Apparently not.
Regarding the malicious slander of the rumors, King Xian was extremely indignant:
"The person who spreads these rumors intends to sow discord between the widow and the Marquis of Yongxing, in order to achieve ulterior motives, and the sinister crime of his intentions should be punished, Gao Qing."
"Minister, what does the king command?"
"Draft a document for the widow to refute such malicious slander and slander, and to stir up the relationship between the monarch and the minister of our country, and publish the full text tomorrow in the newspaper office, not only in the capital county, but also in five times and send it to all counties, so that the widow will let the world know that the Marquis of Yongxing is a loyal minister loyal to the widow and loyal to the Xian country."
"No, the minister will do it immediately."
Although he agreed, Gao Xun learned from external channels two years ago that Bai Liyan and Lu Jia had a secret agreement, and the current situation reminded him that this matter should have been a trap from the beginning, and King Xian must have known the content of the secret agreement in advance, but after thinking about it, Gao Xun was shocked again.
When the cabinet disbanded, it was dusk, Zhao Xun and Lu Gao rushed to the Yongxing Marquis Mansion to visit Bailiyan, and at the same time, the prince was very dissatisfied with King Xian's decision and the attitude of the cabinet, and complained after returning home:
"I think my father is really old and confused, and he just trusts Yongxing Hou, but he makes a conclusion without checking the rumors, which is simply unreasonable."
At this time, Xihuan said:
"After all, the Marquis of Yongxing is a great hero of the Xianguo, if this kind of chasing after the wind and shadows is allowed to develop, it will undoubtedly embarrassing the Marquis of Yongxing, and the loss is the Xianguo, and the profit is the foreign thief, and what the father did is still reasonable."
When the prince heard this, he pretended to be annoyed, and said:
"Why does Feng'er want to speak for Yongxing Hou, this is not your character."
"If it weren't for Feng'er speaking for Yongxinghou, this would be the case. Now that the Marquis of Yongxing is in power all over the world, if he falls out with his father, this is the unlucky Xianguo, if the Xianguo is in civil strife, the Xianguo will not be taken advantage of by foreign thieves. ”
Xihuanmian hid a needle with a knife in his words, and invisibly put an eye medicine on Jiang Yu. The prince felt justified when he heard this, and most of his anger suddenly disappeared, and he took Xihuan's jade fat hand and said kindly:
"It's still Feng'er who is reasonable, the Marquis of Yongxing is leaning towards the government and the opposition, how can my father rashly provoke him."
"That's it, now that the three marquis of Xianguo are in-laws of each other, my father has to consider the meaning of the two families of Luhou Xuanting, and he has to worry about the idea of Yongxing Hou, and the news of chasing wind and shadows will move the public to ask for the guilt, so wouldn't it offend the three marquis."
"Well......" The prince nodded meaningfully, expressing his agreement, and then said: "Yes, now the three marquis are in-laws of each other, and everyone in the country can't avoid the three marquis, let alone the Yongxing marquis." In the long run, the government was controlled by the three marquis, which was not a blessing for the court. ”
"But now that Xianguo relies on the strength of Yongxing Hou alone, if he offends him, Feng'er has some heart." Xihuan pretended to be worried, and looked at the prince strangely distressed.
"Feng'er, don't worry, after I take charge, no one will dare to threaten you, not anyone!"
The prince swore that he would make a great wish, but he secretly set a goal in his heart.
When he was young, Xihuan escaped in the name of preparing dinner, and came to a place where no one was, Ji Jinsheng and Gu Chen's "two elders" were already waiting here, in addition to Ji Jinsheng's son Ji Ning.
Ji Jinsheng has two sons, the eldest son is Ji Ning, who has been brought in the Xianguo saddle before and after the horse, and the second son stays in the country, which is not only a hostage for the control of the King of Jin, but also convenient for obtaining an official and a half position and even the title of Gonglu.
Ji Ning and Ji Jinsheng have general personalities, to be precise, Ji Ning has been in Xianguo for a long time, has a better understanding of the situation in Xianguo, and is very secretive in doing things, and now he seems to be Xihuan's henchman.
"General Ji, what's the news of Qiguo?"
"Your Highness Qiqi, the information that should be provided from the inside, the envoy did not know about this matter at all, and it is inferred from this that either Wei Guo and Bailiyan privately made a secret agreement, or someone maliciously spread rumors to divide the relationship between King Xian and Bailiyan."
Ji Jinsheng reported in detail, Xihuan always felt that this matter was a little strange in her heart, but she couldn't say where the strangeness was. Then he asked Ji Jinsheng again:
"Then according to General Ji's wishes, what should be the situation in this matter?"
"The subordinates thought that Baili Yan was determined to be in Xianguo and no longer disagree, if he intended to help Qi, he should also sell some weapons and even arms at a low price, in fact, Baili Yan has never stopped exporting weapons to Qi Country over the years.
Moreover, the focus of the defense of the country is now on the eastern front, and the defense line in the west sea is weak, and if the country makes some moves in the west sea, it will be beneficial to reduce the pressure on the Xian country. If the arms are sold again, I am afraid that the defense of the country may not be the opponent of the Qi army.
In addition, Bai Liyan and Wei Guo discussed the matter of disagreement with the country, and it was just that the country did not know about it, and if there was no consent of our country, it would be useless for the two of them to say that the heavens were broken. ”
"What does General Ji mean that the rumors in the market are a plan to sow discord in the country?"
"But if it is to sow discord, it is too clumsy. The subordinates thought that Bailiyan and Weiguo must have talked about something unspeakable, which must have talked about the disagreement of the country, and the other content must be unfavorable to the country, so the Weiren only released news that was unfavorable to Bailiyan, and did not mention anything unfavorable to the country. ”
"Oh, what could it be to the detriment of the Patriotic Nation." Xihuan was suspicious, and what Ji Jinsheng said seemed to confirm her intuition.
At this time, Ji Jinsheng said again:
"Maybe it has something to do with my country."
"Go on, what does it have to do with our country."
"The minister judged that Bailiyan would definitely not be stupid enough to give someone a handle, unless Weiguo and Bailiyan each took what they needed and had a handle on each other. In fact, there is nothing to worry about when the country goes eastward, and the real threat is Xianguo Zhiguo and our country. And Zhiguo is now more than infighting, but I am afraid that there will be major events, if Zhiguo is chaotic, Zhiguo will be greatly weakened, then the rest is our country and Xianguo.
However, Wei Guo could not swallow the eldest grandson in a short time, so he could not bypass the Sishui River through the north of the eldest grandson, unless the eldest grandson declared himself a vassal to the Wei Guo and turned against Xian. If this is the case, Liang Guo will never agree.
Bailiyan saw this, so after Wei Guo defeated the eldest grandson, Wei Guo needed to recuperate for a few years before fighting, at this time, if the Xian army attacked our Jin State, Wei Guo also attacked our northern army in the West Sea, which was a profitable move for both Xian and Wei countries. ”
"In other words, Baili Yan is plotting against my Jin Kingdom, but this palace is still in the dark!" Xihuan was furious, and then said: "Such a big thing, doesn't King Xian know? ”
"I'm afraid King Xian knows, otherwise he wouldn't be able to cover it up so quickly for Baili Yan. It has only been less than half a day since he hastily came to this conclusion, obviously because he had been prepared for a long time. It's just that his subordinates thought that Bailiyan should have made two preparations. First, if the defense of the country fulfills its promises according to the agreement, the Xian country will not send troops, and if the defense country does not fulfill the promises made according to the agreement, it will send troops.
The promise should be related to Qiguo, and Wei Guo went back on his word, pretending to agree to Bailiyan's request, but in fact, after attacking the eldest grandson, he cultivated and recuperated, and did not intend to fulfill his promise at all, so Bailiyan's plan failed completely. But Wei Guo didn't expect that Bai Liyan made preparations for sending troops and not sending troops, so now a stalemate has formed. ”
Ji Jinsheng's analysis is basically inseparable, but the part involving the defense of the country has not really been put on the table, and it is more of Bailiyan's psychological activities. Bailiyan originally planned to attack the Jin Kingdom, especially before the crown prince succeeded to the throne, so that he could solve the cancer of Xihuan once and for all. But it is only an intention, and it has not been implemented into actual action.
At the same time, the pace of the armpit people going south made Bailiyan forced to change the established policy, all to give priority to solving external threats as the primary goal, the fight against the Jin State obviously outweighed the losses, not only the loss of mankind's own national defense force, but also the heavy economic burden for this, set up more political enemies, the cost is not cost-effective.
The next day, Bai Liyan continued to recuperate at home, and in the morning Sima Luting Xun visited the mansion, then went to the Luhou Mansion, and then went to the Xuanting Hou Mansion in the afternoon, which was not a good sign for Xihuan.
On the second day of the visit to the three marquis, the early dynasty of King Xian issued the first edict, announcing the establishment of the Ninth Town Army, and Lu Tingxun served as the general of the Ninth Town Army, and also led the Sima of the Lingling City Mansion and entered the cabinet to senate.
As soon as the news came out, the foreign courts talked about it like a frying pan. At the cabinet meeting, Lu Tingxun attended the meeting for the first time, and King Xian attached great importance to it and consulted on important military and political affairs.
"Regarding the new town army, what do you think about General Lu Da's management of the army?"
"King Qiyu, the town army is different from the auxiliary soldiers, the auxiliary soldiers are mainly garrisoned and there are few field battles, and the town army is long in the field of attacking the city and pulling out the village, and the minister has served as the Sima of the city government for many years, and the training of the field army is already rusty, and the minister also expects General Zhao Shuai Lu and the old generals to give more guidance."
"Hehaha...... General Lu is really modest, Ling Zun was a tiger general under the command of Ding Yang Hou back then, and few people look at General Lu quite Lingzun's legacy. ”
"The king praises falsely, and the ministers are afraid."
Lu Tingxun is more humble than his father Lu Jing, and he looks at the word "respect" in Lu Jing's name, but this Lu Jing has a moral character with the early Ding Yang Hou, and he has no respect in his heart, and he is very arrogant.
Lu Jing was transferred to Yinling as the Sima of the city government, and Lu Tingxun was transferred to Yinling with him to take charge of the defense of the capital, and Lu Jing inherited the official position after his death until now.
Therefore, Lu Tingxun's time in the field army was relatively short, and he did not fight with the army when the black scarves were quelling the rebellion, and he really lacked experience in large-scale field battles and commanding large corps operations, but he was still quite sincere.
