In the past few years, the three prime ministers have indeed been loyal to their duties, and the operation of the Ming decree is also quite good.

Therefore, this time, Wang Pu's letter of state was submitted to the court, which was contacted by Honglu Temple, which also caused the shock of the entire Ming court.

Any Ming courtier, or even the ordinary people of the Ming Kingdom, although they dare not say it clearly, but who in their hearts does not think that the Zhou State is just the meat in the pot and the dish of the Ming Kingdom?

On selfishness, his emperor is the sworn brother of the emperor of Zhou, on the public, these years, where there are natural and man-made disasters in Zhou State, Ming State has done its best to support and maintain, and now, in the war that began last year, Ming State has spared no effort to aid Zhou State in the case of its own attack, the so-called Heavenly Reason is clear, and it is at ease in the hearts of the people.

Now the emperor of the Ming State proposed to build two official roads for the smooth progress of the war at the expense of the Ming State, but the Zhou court was perfunctory with such harsh conditions, which was really unbearable.

Above the court, hundreds of miles of unscrupulous were covered by snowflakes, and the officials of the Ming State were hoarse and tried their best to denounce them, and there were those who were righteous and strict in their words, and even those who destroyed the Ming and Zhou alliances.

In short, this letter from the State of Zhou hurt the dignity of the State of Ming, and the State of Zhou was suspected of revenge.

The situation became more and more intense, affected by this wave, the students in Jinling University began to join it, and this caused the solidarity of the students of Tanzhou Bo College, and this wave began to spread to the whole country.

The scholars of Jinling Academy gathered and marched towards the official post. Prepare to denounce Wang Pu, the envoy of the Zhou State who lives in the official post.

Wang Pu, who was waiting for the call of Baili Wuji in the official post, was shocked by the national condemnation in Jinling Mansion.

He didn't expect that because of his own strategy, it would cause such a huge reaction from the government and the opposition in the Ming Kingdom. Wang Pu's heart began to rise. If this really makes the Ming and Zhou countries hostile, then not only will they lose power to Chai Rong, but they will also become the sinners of the Zhou State.

In the Ming Kingdom, Wang Pu could not do anything to help ease the situation, he could only apply to the Ming court to meet with the emperor Baili Wuji, hoping to get Baili Wuji's understanding.

Wang Pu had a good impression of Baili Wuji, and when he followed Chai Rong to meet Baili Wuji for the first time in Xuzhou. Wang Pu thought that this was a king of Zhongxing, if it weren't for the fact that he already belonged, Wang Pu would not hesitate to join the command of Baili Wuji.

For such a king of ZTE. Wang Pu didn't think that he would be angry with Zhou because of this official road construction, even if Zhou Guo categorically refused, it would not be said that he deliberately destroyed the alliance between Zhou and Ming. After all, the two emperors had just met. And according to Chai Rong. Baili Wuji finally took the initiative to give up this suggestion. What's more, although Zhou and Ming are allies, they are two completely independent countries, and it is natural to refuse.

Wang Pu could only pin his hopes on Baili Wuji, but Wang Pu never imagined that this turmoil would become more and more intense until it was out of control.

Baili Wuji didn't care about the turmoil between the government and the opposition. The Ming State he established adopted a high degree of centralization. In Baili Wuji's heart, he holds the military power of the Ming State, and the internal power is concentrated in the hands of Xu Shiming and other three people, and the lower-class people will not have problems because of their rich lives, and those who let these middle-level officials toss and students "mess around" can't make any big waves. As long as he convinces Xu Shiming and the other three, then the resolution of this matter will be easy.

Baili Wuji ordered Zhou Xingfeng to send a team of Imperial Forest Army to guard the official post, which was already a very careful move. He himself secretly summoned Xu Shiming, Sun Guangxian, and Feng Dao to persuade them in the study.

"Three Aiqing, what do you think about this matter? Let's talk about it, and I'm listening. "Baili Wuji is in a good mood, in fact, he is very happy that Zhou Guo agreed to build an official road, as for Zhou Guo's request, Baili Wuji does not take it to heart, this is originally the land of Zhou, even if the Ming army really can't enter and exit, it is also reasonable, not to mention, isn't this allowing people to come and go? With this alone, it is also worth it for the Ming Kingdom to pay for road construction.

Xu Shiming glanced at Sun Guangxian and Feng Dao, and took the lead in playing: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the conditions proposed by the Zhou State are indeed too harsh, just imagine, my country pays for the construction of the road, and after the repair is completed, the passage of the Ming army needs the approval of the Zhou State, and the official roads are all guarded by the Zhou army, so there is nothing to do with the Ming State." The minister did not agree. ”

Sun Guangxian said: "What Xu Xiang said is very true, originally the Ming State paid money, the Zhou State went out of the land, repaired the road, and the two countries shared it, this party is reasonable, although the road is built on the land of Zhou, but after all, the Ming State contributes money and efforts, and the interests and pay are equal to the party called cooperation, and the minister thinks that the Ming army needs the approval of the Zhou State, which is reasonable, but the army guarding the official road should be shared by the Ming army. Otherwise, unless Zhou Guo is asked to jointly bear the cost of building the road. ”

Feng Dao didn't speak, he kept squinting and groaning over his several gray beards.

Baili Wuji knew that this old man was "treacherous", and he didn't force him, so he wouldn't take the initiative to speak.

"What does Feng Xiang think?"

Seeing that the emperor opened his mouth to inquire, Feng Dao naturally couldn't stay silent anymore, he opened his squinted eyes and said, "The emperor has already made a bamboo in his chest, why should the old minister waste his tongue?" ”

"The old fox." Baili Wuji slammed.

Xu Shiming and Sun Guangxian felt strange when they heard it, the emperor had already made a decision? I was a little dissatisfied in my heart, this internal matter had already been delegated to the three of them, and the three of them had not come to a conclusion, and the emperor had already made a decision, wasn't this a slap in the face? In this way, it is better to let the emperor take back the power, and the three of them will obey the order.

Baili Wuji saw that Xu Shiming and Sun Guangxian's faces were a little uneasy, and said with a smile: "Three Aiqing, I just have some ideas, not a bamboo in my chest. After speaking, he glared at Feng Dao.

"You all actually know in your hearts what Zhou Guo is afraid of in this move. Put yourself in your shoes, if you were a courtier of the Zhou State, maybe the conditions would be even harsher than this, and you would not even agree to build the road at all. ”

Baili Wuji glanced at the three of them, and saw that no one could tell the difference, so he continued: "The three of them all know that the reunification of Ming and Zhou is the goal of our country, although now that foreign enemies are coming, reunification is not the time, but this goal has been in your hearts for several years, right?" ”

Xu Shiming and the three of them looked at each other and smiled, naturally, with the national strength of the Ming State, if it were not for the current pressure of foreign enemies, if it were not for the opposition to the use of force, the annexation of the Zhou State would only be a matter of a few months.

Baili Wuji said: "In this case, the Ming Kingdom contributed money and efforts to cultivate two official roads in the Zhou Kingdom, isn't it for himself?" In my opinion, no matter what conditions Zhou Guo proposes, this road must be repaired, what do you think? (To be continued......)
