On the Hall of Light, Ji Fang stood in the main hall, looked at the fat emperor on the throne with a calm face, bowed slightly, and said, "Nine shadows envoy Ji Fang has come to see Emperor Dayin, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live." ”

"Bold messenger, why don't you kneel when you see the emperor." At this time, a minister stepped forward and accused.

Zhu Ming's eyes narrowed, and he didn't mean to stop it.

This envoy came to the court, and according to diplomatic etiquette, there was no need to kneel, and the minister clearly meant to make things difficult.

Ji Fang smiled indifferently and said, "In the fourth year of Xuande, when the envoy of the Great Yin met the first emperor of Jiuyou, he did not kneel. ”

"You" The official looked at him with a look of humility and humility, and just wanted to reprimand angrily, Zhu Ming looked stunned, and said, "Okay, the distinguished guest has come from afar, I am not a stingy person, I don't know what you mean by coming here?" ”

Ji Fang bowed again and replied, "The little envoy is here to give gifts to His Majesty. ”

"Gift-giving?" Zhu Ming raised his eyes and looked at Ji Fang a few times, he only had a scepter in his hand, and there was no so-called gift.

I saw Ji Fang continue, "Dare to ask Your Majesty, among the four great powers of Nanshang, Donghua, Xiluo, Jiuyou, which country poses the greatest threat to you?" ”

Zhu Ming was stunned and fell silent, and the ministers below stepped forward one after another to try it.

An official stepped forward and said, "Nanshang is far away from our dynasty, there are few contacts, and there is no border, so naturally there is no threat; Donghua is a vast country with vast resources, and it is suitable for marriage with our dynasty, and it is a friendly state, so how can it threaten; ”

When the official said this, he looked at Ji Fang, with contempt in his eyes, and said, "The Nine Shadows Kingdom, whether it is financial, material or human, is the weakest of the five countries, can the envoy have doubts about this?" ”

Ji Fang said with a smile: "What my lord said is extremely true, I am indeed the weakest one among the nine shadows. ”

When the ministers heard this, they all smiled and pointed out, but Ji Fang suddenly said loudly, "However, our dynasty is indeed the first country to dare to fight against Da Luo. ”

"Hmph, Jiuyou is hitting a stone with an egg, arrogant, don't you want to annex Da Luo?" The ministers replied disdainfully.

"Da Luo has a standing army of 30 million, a population of 1 billion, and a small Jiuyou army of 15 million, what strength does it have to compete with Da Luo?"

"It's arrogant."

The discussion of the ministers revolved around Ji Fang, and the contempt was fully revealed, Zhu Ming squinted his eyes, listening to the accusations of the ministers, he wanted to see what kind of face this Ji Fang had and dared to speak wildly.

Not to mention that Jiuyou attacked Da Luo, it stands to reason that Jiu You has just stabilized the princes, and it is the most important thing to stabilize the domestic experience at present, but I didn't expect that this little emperor who had just ascended the throne would have the audacity to want to annex Da Luo, not that he looked down on Jiu You, but he really couldn't do it.

"According to the words of the ministers, it seems that the dignified Da Yin Empire also feels that Da Luo is the most threatened, or in other words, the most feared is the Da Luo Empire." At this time, Ji Fang replied unhurriedly.

Hearing this, the ministers were shocked, and Zhu Ming frowned slightly.

"Little envoy, speak wildly, when will my Great Yin Dynasty be afraid of Da Luo." An official shouted.

Ji Fang didn't pay attention to it, turned to face the emperor, and said, "Your Majesty, according to the small envoy, the population of Daluo is the largest among the five countries, in other words, the combined population of Jiuyou and Dayin is less than half of it, and in terms of land area, Jiuyou and Dayin combined, it is less than two-thirds of it. ”

The ministers were stunned, Zhu Ming fell silent, and saw Ji Fang continue, "In other words, if Da Luo wants to swallow Jiuyou and Your Majesty, it is very easy. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Zhu Ming frowned and said, "What does the envoy mean by this?" ”

Ji Fang smiled and said, "Among the five countries, Da Luo has the largest population, and His Majesty's rivers and mountains are the most fertile, and Da Luo borders Jiuyou and Da Yin, if you want to attack Da Yin, it will be a matter of time, isn't Your Majesty or the ministers aware of this crisis?" ”

The ministers were stunned, and Ji Fang sneered and said, "Although our dynasty is the weakest, it is self-aware, and the sages and sages are wise and wise, and Da Luo has repeatedly violated the border, what is the purpose?" I know that Your Majesty and Da Luo have a marriage, but in the eyes of the little envoy, this is Da Luo's gentle strategy, if Da Luo really destroys my Nine Shadows Dynasty, I believe that the next target should be Your Majesty. ”

The ministers were startled and wanted to come forward to theorize, but Zhu Ming's expression was cold and he glared back.

Ji Fang continued, "The first emperor and His Majesty have always intersected, and the border has been the most peaceful in recent years, because the former emperor knew that Jiuyou and Da Yin are two benefits when they are combined, and two evils are divided into two evils, and they are each other's lips and teeth. ”

Zhu Ming listened to Ji Fang's words, he was silent for a long time, and the other ministers were also silent, Ji Fang's words are not unreasonable, according to him, Da Luo has repeatedly violated the border of Jiuyou, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is only a matter of time before Da Luo wants to start a war against Jiuyou, and Liu Xuan's dispatch of troops to Da Luo can also be regarded as a preemptive strike.

And Da Luo doesn't know about Da Yin, Jiuyou, he Da Yin knows, the border is not very peaceful, although there is a marriage, but it was many years ago, how can there be any bullshit marriage.

Ji Fang is right, since Da Luo has already made a move on Jiu You, it is only a matter of time before he makes a move on Da Yin, in Da Luo's opinion, Jiu You and Da Yin are just small countries, and they are not qualified to be called among the five great powers with him.

Thinking of this, Zhu Ming's gaze turned to an old minister on the right, and said, "What does Fan Aiqing want?" ”

Ji Fang looked stunned, turned his head to look, and a hunched old man who was about forty years old, but with a little vicissitudes of life, stood up, he was the prime minister of Dayin's dynasty - Fan Wei.

Fan Weizhicai, it is no exaggeration to say that he is the first in Da Yin, even among the nobles of the Five Kingdoms, everyone knows his name, and Ji Fang also admires him very much.

When the emperor and Da Yin fought several times, they were all resolved by Fan Wei one by one, whether he was leading the army or governing the country, he could be at ease, the first emperor also sighed, "Fan worry's talent, my generation is not as good, Da Yin has Fan worry, no plan." ”

Although Fan Wei is only more than forty, he looks older than Zhu Ming, and looking at Zhu Ming's expression, he has great respect for Fan Ming.

I saw Fan Wei step forward and bow slightly, "Back to Your Majesty, the envoy's words are unreasonable." His voice was a little old, but it was sonorous and powerful, full of energy, and he continued, "Daluo has a very large population, and the land area is overwhelmed, if you really have the ambition to expand your territory, the first thing to attack is my Dayin and Jiuyou." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and then they all nodded yes.

Fan Wei's gaze glanced at Ji Fang, which shocked Ji Fang's heart, and then his eyes narrowed and he groaned.

Zhu Ming heard Fan Wei's words of approval, and made a decision in his heart, and looked at Ji Fang and said, "The envoy has worked hard this time, since it is already like this, let's stay for a few days, and tomorrow, I will reply after careful discussion with the ministers." ”
