CHAPTER XLVII

Fan Zhen also stepped forward to advise: "Your Majesty, what Wang Pu said is reasonable, and I also ask the emperor to recall the two." ”

Chai Rong's anger had gradually subsided at this time, and after hearing that Wang Pu was reasonable, he ordered the two to be recalled to the palace.

At this time, Yin Ri was a lot more honest, and Wang Pu's face also lightened a lot, but he was still indignant.

Chai Rong opened his mouth and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, just talk about things, and there must be no more humiliating words. ”

The ministers should be unanimous.

Chai Rong turned to Wang Pu and asked leisurely, "You have indeed taken refuge in the Ming Kingdom?" ”

Wang Pu's heart palpitated for a while, and he bowed his head and replied, "This is indeed the case." ”

Chai Rong's eyes darkened, and he sighed: "If it is really ...... It's good, it's good, people go to high places, water flows to low places, and you take refuge in the Ming Kingdom, which can be regarded as climbing a high branch. ”

Listening to Chai Rong's heart-wrenching words, Wang Pu really wanted to tell the truth immediately, but his natural sense of mission made Wang Pu grit his teeth and resist the past after all.

Chai Rong saw that Wang Pu bowed his head and didn't speak, so he straightened his face and asked, "Wang Shizhong sent me to Zhou Guo this time, what happened?" ”

Chai Rong has also figured out a question since the day before yesterday when Concubine Fu explained, instead of asking Wang Pu, it is better to ask himself, as a monarch, he can't make his subordinates loyal, and the biggest responsibility is still on himself, so Chai Rong has not had the idea of asking Wang Pu for an audience since Li Guyu reported to Wang Pu today.

As long as you don't take refuge in Liao, I will let you go, and it will be in vain. Chai Rong looked at Wang Pu and said in his heart.

Wang Pu saw Chai Rong inquiring, and hurriedly replied: "The foreign minister was ordered to envoy to the Zhou State, and he did two things. One is the Jinling Bloody Case. China once sent an envoy to ask the Zhou State to try the case, and the Zhou State also sent an envoy to Jinling, but the envoy Zhang Zhao spoke disrespectfully in the court of the People's Kingdom. Humiliate the Ming Kingdom and ridicule our emperor. Therefore, he was beheaded by the order of my emperor ....... ”

Before Wang Pu finished speaking, there was another uproar in the court.

Taichang Qing Tian Min said loudly: "Your Majesty, Zhang Zhao is no matter how rude he is, he is also the envoy of the Zhou State, how can he allow the Ming Kingdom to kill in vain, and he will not hate it." Where is the dignity of the Zhou State? The minister is willing to persuade the emperor to die and kill Wang Pu. ”

After speaking, Tian Min fell to his knees. Tian Min knelt down. More than a dozen courtiers also knelt down with him, asking Chai Rong to behead Wang Pu, among which Xue Xun, who had just reported, was also among them, but Yin Ri did not follow. Just watching the situation develop with a cold eye. A faint sneer hung at the corner of his mouth.

At this time, Li Gu prelude and said: "Your Majesty, Wang Pufang just said one thing, it is better to wait for him to finish the second thing, and then discuss how to deal with it." ”

Chai Rong nodded slightly: "Li Qing is reasonable. Wang Pu, let's talk about the second thing. ”

Wang Pu saw that the ministers of Zhou were angry, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and this kind of scene could be regarded as the completion of a hundred miles of unscrupulous entrustment. Wang Pu could have made insulting remarks and provoked Zhou Chen's anger even more. But Wang Pu didn't want to really break the alliance between the Ming and Zhou countries, there was a limit to what he said, and even if he knew afterwards that this was a last resort, he couldn't make up for the damage to the hearts of the monarchs and ministers of the two countries.

In fact, Baili Wuji ordered Wang Pu to envoy Zhou this time, just to ask Wang Pu to submit his handwritten letter to Chai Rong, and the obvious reasons are all nonsense, but it is just a trick to confuse the Liao State spies.

Therefore, Wang Pu prepared two things, one is to use Zhang Zhao to be "killed" by Baili Wuji to provoke public feelings, and the second thing is to use himself to provoke Chai Rong's anger, only by controlling the anger between himself and himself, the relationship between Ming and Zhou will not really break down.

Wang Pu spoke again: "Your Majesty, the second thing that the foreign minister was ordered to negotiate with the Zhou State was to destroy the Ming and Zhou alliances, withdraw the Ming Special Operations Army temporarily stationed in Pizhou, and interrupt the Ming State's military and civilian material support ...... to the Zhou State. ”

This time, the court exploded, every Zhou official's face was full of anger, this more than a year of war, the economy of the Zhou State dragged into the quagmire, a large number of young people were recruited, Guo Wei, Chai Rong two generations of emperors hard to accumulate the national strength has long been exhausted, Chai Rong just lowered the tax, and had to be added temporarily, the national strength has been exhausted.

If the alliance between the two countries is really destroyed at this time, unless Chai Rong prepares for the death of Zhou and Liao, otherwise, the only way to survive is to surrender to Liao .......

Wang Pu's words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, hitting the heads of the monarchs and ministers of the Zhou State, they all thought that they couldn't, the emperor of the Ming State killed the envoy Zhang Zhao of the Zhou State without permission, this matter is always a fact, the Zhou State as a bitter lord has not officially sent an envoy to Jinling to destroy the alliance as a threat, and he is just complaining in the court of his own country, but he doesn't want the Ming State to sue the wicked people first, and send a messenger to the Zhou State to declare that he has destroyed the alliance.

Chai Rong's personality was already impatient, and the killing of Fu Lingguang in a fit of anger was proof of this, but there was still room for things to turn around and make up for it, and now Chai Rong was no longer in a hurry, he didn't even change his expression, staring at Wang Pu blankly.

The ministers of Zhou Guo all turned their heads to Wang Pu, and the hatred in their eyes burned, as if this person was going to send Zhou Guo into a desperate situation.

Wang Pu stood expressionlessly, and at this time, Wang Pu's heart really realized how weakened the Zhou State was, so weak that it only took a hundred miles of Wuji to crush the entire imperial court.

I don't know since when, Zhou has relied on Ming as a matter of course, using Ming money, eating Ming food, and using Ming firearms, as if everything is as it should be, and it is born like this.

Wang Pu knew that this was not the time to think about this, but he couldn't help but think about it, these people in front of him, including the high-ranking emperor Chai Rong whom he admired, actually seemed to be the sky of the Zhou Kingdom was about to fall because of his own words. And those ministers who had just impassionedly followed Xue Xun to ask the emperor to kill Wang Pu and the prestige of the country were already in a panic, and all that was in their eyes was shock and confusion.

Wang Pu looked at Chai Rong again, he didn't know what Chai Rong would do now, with Wang Pu's understanding of Chai Rong, now Chai Rong should have been furious and ordered to kill himself in order to motivate the ministers and save the lost morale.

But Chai Rong's reaction was unexpected by Wang Pu, Chai Rong just stared at Wang Pu, and didn't have the slightest intention of speaking.

And the ministers of the Zhou State, although they were angry, no one asked Chai Rong to kill Wang Pu.

Wang Pu did not expect such an outcome. originally thought that his second incident would inevitably arouse the hatred of the ministers of the Zhou State, arouse Chai Rong's anger, and even kill himself in a fit of anger like a slashing Fu Lingguang, so that Wang Pu would be able to pass on the request for a private meeting to him with his understanding of Chai Rong's character.

Unexpectedly, he only guessed the beginning, but he couldn't guess the ending. (To be continued......)
