Chapter 284: In Controversy
As soon as Jiang Ge finished talking about his thoughts on the Mongol war, some officials who supported the main battle, of course, most of them were military generals, and they all agreed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but after all, this is only a small number of people, and most of the officials shook their heads in disapproval.
The princess was very disappointed when she saw that the ministers were all in this reaction, it was rare for someone to have the same idea as her, and she told the specific methods, but she was not recognized by everyone, it seems that Xixia is really going to end.
Looking at Lu Xiaoyu, Yang Xiangwu and Lu Xiaoyu over there, the three of them were still silent, and the princess first praised Jiang Ge, thinking that he was loyal and courageous, and then motioned for him to sit down.
She smiled and said to the three stuffy gourds over there: "The original masters of the three middle schools, if you have any good suggestions, two of you are candidates for the pony." ”
Lu Xiaoyu and Yang Xiangwu thought that as long as they didn't speak, the princess would default to her taking the initiative to give up, but she didn't expect her to come to ask them in person about whether to fight or not, Lu Xiaoyu was even more innocent, aren't the two of them the protagonists today? Why do you have to answer this assassin's question now?
Empress Dowager Li Ping'er didn't know the true purpose of Yang Xiangwu's visit to Western Xia, but she only heard Yang Xiangwu say that she would help him at the banquet for choosing horses in the evening. She thought that Yang Xiangwu was asking him to help the two young people he brought to sit in the seat of the horse, so she said out of kindness: "Good granddaughter, in fact, the older Mr. Yang was a good friend of grandma when she was still in the Central Plains, and you can also see that he can be a grandfather at his age, so he came to the election to help us build in Western Xia." The one who really came to participate in the election, I think it is the son surnamed Lu. ”
Yang Xiangwu heard that Li Ping'er excused herself, and she didn't care what Lu Xiaoyu would say for a while, she just hoped that he would ask for more blessings. He said smoothly: "That's right, Your Royal Highness Princess, the grass people were only invited by the Queen Mother to discuss the state affairs of Western Xia, and they didn't want to come over to choose any horses, but they just came with my two little apprentices. If His Highness has any problems, he must know everything and say everything. ”
After speaking, Yang Xiangwu kept glancing at Lu Xiaoyu, while Lu Xiaoyu made a bitter look at Lu Xiaoyu. Lu Xiaoyu said in his heart: "Brother Bao, what kind of international joke is this, what kind of politics do I know, now it is difficult to do a wooden job and recite a spell, I still know more about modern things than in ancient times, or you can help me answer." This old Yang is not kind, in order to put a high posture in front of the old friend, I have to put us in, and now he is safe, which makes it difficult for me to ride a tiger. ”
Everyone saw that Lu Xiaoyu's face was difficult, and he didn't speak for a long time, thinking that he didn't have any high opinions, and the most proud thing was that he was finely sealed Chengjie, and his two biggest competitors had all taken the initiative to withdraw, leaving only this poor boy who was not in the climate, and he was a concubine.
"Master Lu, just say what you think, right? Whether it's good or bad, this palace won't blame you. The princess encouraged.
Lu Xiaoyu hesitated for a long time and didn't know what to say. Just when everyone thought that he had given up on his own initiative, suddenly a voice broke the silence of the scene.
It's Brother Bao! My mother is the one who gave birth to me, and Brother Bao is the one who knows me. Lu Xiaoyu stood up at this time and came out to save the scene in time.
"Your Royal Highness the Princess is really sorry, my brother he was so happy after passing the selection this afternoon, I don't know why he lost his voice after coming over, and it is not convenient to speak now, so he has just conveyed all the things he wants to say to me, asking me to tell His Royal Highness the Princess."
When Lu Xiaoyu heard Lu Xiaoyu say this, he nodded like garlic and motioned to let Lu Xiaoyu speak for him.
"Since that's the case, then please ask this son to explain his opinion on behalf of Gongzi Laolu." The princess knew that this excuse was full of loopholes, not to mention how Lu Xiaoyu could lose his voice for no reason, even if he really couldn't speak, it was impossible for him to know what question he was going to ask him tonight, how could he be ready to tell Lu Xiaoyu in advance and let him help him answer? But the princess was still very curious about what Lu Xiaoyu would come up with, so she let him speak freely without exposing him on the spot.
Seeing that the princess agreed, Lu Xiaoyu cleared his throat and said: "Western Xia is to Mongolia, which is equivalent to Khitan to Western Xia, the former is higher than the latter in strength on both sides, but the latter repeatedly likes to invade the latter's territory. The reason for this must be known to everyone, this is nothing more than the latter's unwillingness to be suppressed by the former and deliberately. I think that as the princess of Western Xia, you should understand what I said. ”
The princess nodded, it is true that there are often contradictions between Western Xia and Khitan, especially in recent times, due to the change of Jinshui Fort, the uneven distribution of spoils between the two sides, so that the contradictions between the two countries are getting deeper and deeper. Western Xia is actually already in an embarrassing situation on all sides, but the imperial court has not pierced this layer of window paper.
Lu Xiaoyu saw that the princess agreed with his point of view and continued: "So think about how the Western Xia survived with the Khitan in this situation before, not to let us bully the weak and be suppressed by the powerful, but on the contrary, to form an alliance with those who are relatively weak, and join forces with the originally strong one to take down first." Think about who is the real enemy of Western Xia now? ”
"It's Khitan!" All the ministers were shocked, didn't this kid deal with Mongolia and directly target the Khitan? Isn't this an act of striking a stone with an egg?
"The Khitan is now strong, I heard that recently I also got a Zhongnan Mountain master who went to the Central Plains to help, the Khitan Emperor is even more high-spirited than before, although our Western Xia will not be weaker than them, but really want to fight with them, the final result is only a lose-lose, fisherman profits." The princess said with some concern.
Lu Xiaoyu had already guessed that although the princess was tempted, she might not really dare to do so, so he said his true purpose, "Actually, it's not difficult to deal with the Khitan, isn't Mongolia forming an alliance with the Khitan now, then we will also form an alliance with Mongolia, the reason why Mongolia has been sparing the border is nothing more than wanting to negotiate terms with Western Xia, so let's talk to them." Not only to talk to them, but also to talk to Nanchu, when it comes to the last three countries joining forces, there is only one Khitan left, even if he has three heads and six arms, no matter how strong the national strength is, if he wants to deal with three countries at once, it will be a lack of skills. I wonder what the princess thinks? ”
