CHAPTER XXIV

Xu Shiming and Sun Guangxian suddenly realized that the emperor had such a "sinister" idea in his heart, in fact, this was also thought of by the intelligence of the two, but he had been pressed by Baili Wuji and could not annex the Zhou State by force, and now he was pressed by foreign enemies, so he didn't think about it.

Now that everything has been said about this, Sun Guangxian needs a clear answer from Baili Wuji, and he stepped forward and asked: "Your Majesty, after the Liao and Bu armies are repelled, how to unify the Zhou State, is it still a peaceful evolution as you said, or a direct northern expedition to the Zhou State?" ”

This question is also what Xu Shiming and Feng Dao want to ask. As the three people with the most power in the Ming Kingdom under one person and above ten thousand people, the idea of achieving their own generation of famous ministers has been deeply rooted in their bone marrow.

At this time, the hearts of these three people are undoubtedly connected, and they will inevitably be connected with the Ming Kingdom.

As Wenchen, there is no opportunity to expand the territory like a military general, and this dream of peaceful reunification of the Zhou State has inspired them for several years, and they hope to see the moment of reunification in their lifetime.

Baili Wuji is actually more anxious than them, but this matter is not urgent, Baili Wuji knows that according to the historical process, Chai Rong's lifespan is not long, otherwise there is nothing to do with Zhao Kuangyin. Baili Wuji is willing to wait a few years, and when the old and new powers alternate, with the support for the Zhou State over the years, he will definitely be able to win over many Zhou ministers, and at that time, even if there is a war, it can be controlled within the smallest range. Such a natural thing, even if you wait a few more years, Baili Wuji is willing.

For Sun Guangxian's question. Baili Wuji also asked himself from time to time, in fact, everyone understands the true meaning of Sun Guangxian's question, and what he really means is that once the Liao and Bu armies are repulsed, the continuous war will inevitably weaken the Zhou State, even if it is a direct use of force. It's also very convenient.

Baili Wuji naturally knows, but taking advantage of the weakening of the Zhou State is suspected of taking advantage of people's danger. , Baili Wuji doesn't want to carry this black cauldron, compared with the Ming and Zhou countries, time is on the side of the Ming Kingdom. Case. Why not go with the flow.

Wouldn't it be more in line with the royal way to let the ministers and people of Zhou make their own choices.

Baili Wuji replied categorically: "The strategy of peaceful evolution remains unchanged. ”

Xu Shiming and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, after waiting for so many years, if Baili Wuji chose to solve it by force at the last moment, then wouldn't it be that the patience of the three of them in the past few years was in vain, and it was solved by force, then there would be nothing to do with the three of them, and the greatest merit would all go to the soldiers of the Ming army.

Baili Wuji said: "I have made an agreement with the Emperor of Zhou. Prepare to deploy 100,000 new troops to the front line of Long, Jian, and Bizhou, and launch a counterattack against the blocking army in the territory of the Ming Kingdom. In order to break the current stalemate and regain lost ground. The three Aiqing, all the materials needed by the army, need to be prepared by the three of them. ”

Xu Shiming and the three responded: "The minister must do his best." ”

Baili Wuji persuaded Xu Shiming and the three of them, in his opinion, as long as these three people are convinced, then the government and the opposition will calm down, and everything will return to the original track, but he doesn't want to, but this matter is beyond the scope of Baili Wuji's understanding, like a wild horse on the ground, deviating from the track and deviating away.

The students of the official post were in front, and the people were behind, and they passionately denounced the envoys of the Zhou State in the official post.

Wang Pu was restless in the house, he was very strange, how could the official government of the Ming Kingdom condone the students and the common people to besiege the official post? Could it be that this is due to the instructions of the Ming court, or even Baili Wuji?

No, it won't. Wang Pu shook his head, he never believed that this was due to Baili Wuji's instructions, and with Baili Wuji's impression in his mind, he was definitely not such a treacherous person.

Moreover, the siege of the envoys of the Zhou State has seriously damaged the relationship between the Ming and Zhou countries, although the construction of the road was proposed by the emperor of the Ming State, but for the current alliance of the two countries to fight against foreign enemies, it is just a small matter, and it is impossible for the Ming State to destroy the good situation of the alliance between the two countries for this, which is completely harmful to others and not beneficial to themselves.

Wang Pu couldn't figure it out, and he didn't have time to think about it anymore, and the crowd outside the official post gathered more and more.

In the crowd, whether it is a student or a common person, every face is full of anger, and everyone has a fire in their hearts, maybe Baili Wuji underestimated the "sport" he once thought he was good at, the popular movement is a double-edged sword, it can hurt people, and it will be injured, and its destructive power is infinite.

This road construction matter, which was regarded as a small piece by Baili Wuji and Wang Pu, has become a big matter under the instigation of round after round, and it is related to the dignity of the Ming State and the ingratitude of the Zhou State.

Since the establishment of the Ming Kingdom by Baili Wuji, the pride of the people, especially the students, as Han and Ming people, has been endlessly swelling in the victories of the Ming army again and again.

When the matter escalates to the issue of dignity, then it all becomes crucial, even if it costs the students their blood and even their lives.

"Drive the ungrateful Zhou people out of the Ming Kingdom."

"The shameless envoy of the Zhou State came out to apologize."

……。

Even "declared war on the state of Zhou." "It's all shouted.

The situation is no longer beyond the control of the dozens of defenders of the official post.

More and more crowds of people rushed towards the defenders, and the defenders could not stop the crowd and began to retreat.

Seeing that the crowd was about to break through the resistance of the defenders and rush into the official post.

Wang Pu had no choice but to come out. Unbeknownst to him, his appearance had nothing to do with the peace of affairs, but it undoubtedly poured a spoonful of oil on the ignited passion.

When the crowd saw the envoy of the Zhou State appear, the burning anger was even higher, and in the midst of the commotion, several people who looked like students broke through the resistance of the defenders and rushed towards Wang Pu.

Seeing that Wang Pu was about to be beaten by the students, Wang Pu's four entourages hurriedly stopped Wang Pu.

At this time, if Wang Pu took the opportunity to escape, maybe things would have gotten worse, but Wang Pu chose to explain to the students who rushed over.

Wang Pu believes that students are scholars, and if they are scholars, they can speak reasonably, and if they can speak reasonably, they can calm down this chaos, or at least persuade this group of students to quit.

But Wang Pu didn't understand that the students in the "movement" were irrational at all, and when the students met Wang Pu's entourage, a "hand-to-hand" battle began.

At this time, the situation was still under control, after all, the students did not carry weapons, and the rough movement in anger was just skin trauma.

But at this time, one of Wang Pu's four entourages "choked" and drew his saber, shouting as if "Ruotong...... in his mouth. He slashed at the student with a knife. (To be continued......)
