Chapter 431: Who is responsible
Shin Ji is a sober-minded person among the Korean ministers, and he knows very well that with the national strength of South Korea, he will not be able to seek peace if he does not join the alliance. The meaning of his words was obviously to remind Han Hou to stay calm and not to rush to the doctor.
When Han Hou heard Shen Zhi's words, of course he felt harsh, Shen Zhi's personality was straightforward, Han Hou knew his person and remembered his loyalty, he held back the unhappiness in his chest, and did not have a seizure.
Shen Zhi was embarrassed and couldn't move to rescue the soldiers, and Han Hou also deeply understood, because this matter could not be done with a single mouth. He looked at Shen Zhi, thought for a long time, and then made up his mind.
Han Hou said: "In order to save the crisis in Michi, the widow plans to go to Luoyang in person and discuss with Su Qin, what does Doctor Shen think?" ”
After hearing this, Shen Zhi was overjoyed, he hurriedly bowed down on the seat, and replied: "It is really my luck for Korea to have this determination, I believe that when you go to Luoyang and see Su Qin in person, he will definitely be more attentive." If the army of the Coalition is urged, our country will be saved! ”
What Shen Zhi said was solid, but it also meant to elevate Han Hou, and Han Hou Han Gu listened to it in his ears, so he was naturally very useful.
He sighed with emotion: "All for the sake of South Korea, for the sake of Michi's stay in my country's territory." Why do you care about running around Luoyang! ”
Han Hou and Shen Zhi agreed to go to Luoyang in person, and he left the next day. Han Hou deliberately drove lightly, changed into ordinary people's clothes, and dressed up as a wealthy businessman, with only Shen Zhi and more than 20 guards by his side, as well as a few eunuchs close to him.
When he arrived at Su Qin's Mingjian Garden in Luoyang, Su Qin was still anxiously waiting for a reply from the five kingdoms of Zhao, Chu, Wei, Qi, and Yan. He had urged these countries to send troops to Luoyang to rendezvous for the second time, but these letters were like stones, and there was not even the slightest word of reply, let alone sending a large army to arrive.
When the doorman in Su Qin's mansion saw Shen Zhi, he had been here twice and already recognized his appearance. After a brief interrogation, the doorman sent a message to the palace that Dr. Shin Zhi from Korea had come to visit with twenty or thirty followers.
When Su Qin received this message, he was listening to the two new ladies on the first floor of Fengxuan. Meng Ting and Wei Jiaju are already pregnant, and they need their husbands to accompany them. Su Qin knew that he would soon have to work on the affairs of indulgence again, and he could not stay with the two ladies to take care of them. Therefore, he took the time to spend time with them.
Hearing Shen Zhi's visit, Su Qin's face that was still smiling just now suddenly turned from sunny to cloudy, of course he knew what Shen Zhi was here for. said: "These people are really haunted, they have been pestering, and they can't let us stop for a moment!" ”
Meng Ting saw that Su Qin was unhappy, so she persuaded him: "Ji Zi should be impatient, don't worry about us." A manly man was born in the world, and he stood up to the sky and the earth and achieved a career. You go and yours and we'll take care of it. ”
As she spoke, she glanced at Wei Jia, and Wei Jia also nodded deeply, she didn't want her husband to worry about family and political affairs all day long, and he was exhausted to deal with it.
Seeing that the two ladies understood their situation so well, Su Qin was so moved that tears were about to flow out, he nodded and kept reading: "Okay, it's really good, it's rare to be such a virtuous lady." ”
Meng Ting and Wei Jia didn't want to disturb him anymore, so they simply got up and said goodbye and went back to the inner house by Mingjian Lake to rest.
Su Qin watched the two ladies leave, and waited until their figures disappeared from view before calling Wu Jing and asking Wu Jing to go to the gate of the mansion to greet Shen Zhi and his entourage on his behalf, and take them to Tingfeng Xuan to meet.
Su Qin cleaned up his mood and tried to keep the smile on his face, so that he could appear to be unmessed up and lift his weight lightly.
He knew that at this moment, South Korea's Shen Zhi and others were even more anxious, and they couldn't suppress it. You have to be more relaxed to make them a little more grounded.
After less than a quarter of an hour, Shen Zhi and his entourage came to Tingfeng Xuan. Su Qin got up and went outside the door to greet him, he suddenly saw that there was a person in his entourage who was very familiar, and then looked at it, it turned out that the person was clearly Hanhou Han Gu.
Su Qin said "Huh", bowed down and saluted with fists, and was about to call out Han Hou's honorific name, Han Hou stepped forward and grabbed Su Qin's hand, and said in a low voice: "Su Qing's family doesn't need to be polite, let's talk about it in the house." ”
Su Qin understood and understood that Han Hou didn't want more people to know about his personal visit to Luoyang, so he was not limited to the courtiers. Han Hou and Shen Zhi followed him to the third floor of Tingfeng Xuan, which was more hidden.
From the moment he saw Han Hou, he thought: "It is impossible for his leisure life to last any longer, and Han Hou came in person, which shows that the situation of Michi is difficult to solve." ”
From the letter sent by Ning Jun, he had already learned about the situation in Mianchi and was well aware of the difficulties. Now that Han Hou has condescended to his dignity and visited his door, it seems that even if he personally presides over the battle in Mianchi, he may not be able to make any improvement.
Su Qin let Shen Zhi and Han Hou sit down on a few seats near the window, and sat down himself. His mood was very solemn, and he endured the heaviness with a smile on his face.
Han Hou had a dull face and a bitter expression. As soon as he sat down, he couldn't wait to speak: "The widow came to Luoyang, so what happened must be based on the wisdom of the Su Qing family, and you don't need to guess to know." Michi may completely fall into the hands of the Qin people at any time, and the widow has trouble sleeping and eating for this reason, so he has to disturb Su Qing's family Qingxiu, I hope to forgive me! ”
Han Hou's tone was very polite, and before Su Qin could reply, Shen Zhi pretended to be black-faced, and said indignantly: "Prime Minister Su has repeatedly promised us to invite the army of princes to come to the rescue of Yu Han. What a reason! ”
Han Hou pretended to be red-faced and had a soft tone; Shen Zhi was blunt and aggressive. This was obviously arranged in advance, and there was a division of labor. Su Qin was extremely smart, as soon as he heard the words of the two and looked at their expressions, he understood the details.
Su Qin was not very happy in his heart, and thought to himself: "You singing and harmonizing, treat me as a fool." However, after all, this is the case, and it is completely understandable that the parties concerned will inevitably be in a hurry because of the panic.
Su Qin thought to himself: "You are in a hurry, I can't be in a hurry like you, then no one can keep a clear head, it will not help, but it will be harmful." He secretly reminded himself: the more urgent it is, the more calm you must be!
Su Qin didn't make a sound, he raised his eyes and looked out the window, at this time, the bright sunlight was shining on the surface of Mingjian Lake, the lake surface was like a mirror, clean and crystalline.
Su Qin pondered for a while before replying: "I am also a good woman, and it is difficult for me to cook without rice, and I ask Han Hou to understand." Now that the princes' reinforcements have not been delayed for a long time, I can't help it! ”
Shen Zhi originally thought that Han Hou had arrived, and he said such a heavy reprimand, Su Qin would at least show eagerness and sincerity like last time. He didn't expect Su Qin's attitude to take a big turn, lukewarm, and even revealed a situation of letting go.
Shen Zhi immediately jumped up, he stretched out his hand, pointed at Su Qin, and said: "We in South Korea are not thin on you Su Cheng, and you have also sworn that the advantage of cooperation is that the princes take care of each other and resist Qin together. What you said before was empty words without any basis. ”
Shen Zhi's words were clearly angry, and he spoke straightforwardly, without beating around the bush. If these words were said to a person with the same temperament as him, he would have already burst into a rage, and the two quarreled in person.
Su Qin was not as eager as him, he thought to himself: "If I am like you, wouldn't I seem uncultivated, not deep enough!" Therefore, he suppressed the disgust in his heart, waved his hand to Shen Zhi, motioned for him to sit down and speak, and did not jump up without moving.
Han Hou listened to Su Qin's words, and he was actually angry in his heart, but he took into account that the current South Korea must rely on Su Qin and his alliance, so he also turned his head to look out the window for a while to calm down the emotions in his heart.
Shen Zhi said cruelly, as if he had punched the other party hard, but this punch was like hitting cotton wool, and there was no way to focus on it. Su Qin didn't have the same knowledge as him, he looked at Su Qin, and sat down again in a daze.
Han Hou continued to stop and said: "The widow knows the difficulties of the Su Qing family, but everything has a reason, and the cause of this battle must be understood by the Su Qing family. To untie the chain, you must tie the bell, and Su Qing's family is this bell-tying person. ”
Although Han Hou's words were not rushed, he also skillfully put Su Qin in his words, which clearly meant that the disaster in South Korea was provoked by Su Qin, and he couldn't stay out of it, and he had to find a way to make up for it and solve it.
Han Hou's gentle words made Su Qin upset, he had always been reluctant to hear similar words from the princes, because they only thought about the benefits of the alliance, but they always wanted to blame others, which was the biggest weakness and gap faced by the alliance. If it hadn't been handled skillfully, the alliance would have fallen apart.
The first thing Su Qin had to do was not to analyze the current situation, but first to correct Han Hou's mentality, not to let him be like the princes of Wei, Chu, Qi and other princes, and only use the alliance he founded as a tool to use, without thinking about the overall situation of the world and the responsibilities they should bear.
Su Qin turned his gaze back from the window and said to Han Hou: "When there is today's strife, I don't know what kind of way Han Hou has to put South Korea in war and war?" ”
After hearing this, Han Hou thought for a long time, but he didn't know how to answer Su Qin, he felt that he really had no good way, he was speechless.
Su Qin turned to Shen Zhi and asked, "Then what about Doctor Shen, do you have any good way to protect Korea?" ”
When Shen Zhi asked Han Hou a question just now, he had already seriously thought about Su Qin's question, and he hadn't come up with a foolproof solution.
