Taishi Xiao suddenly laughed, which surprised the ministers, and the emperor frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Why is Taishi laughing? ”

Xiao Taishi smiled, arched his hand, sighed, and said: "Think about how domineering Emperor Yanwu was back then, and how powerful the generals under his command were, when there were six counties in the east, there were countless Qi troops, and Emperor Yanwu relied on three hundred iron horsemen, high morale, and invincible, which laid down the great mountains and rivers of the Great Yan Kingdom." The vicissitudes of life, a hundred years of time, but the hearts of the courtiers of the Great Yan Kingdom have become cowardly, they are afraid of wolves and tigers, and let this great opportunity be missed in vain, the old man's heart is really painful! ”

His remarks were very straightforward, and many officials' faces suddenly changed color.

Taishi Xiao smiled coldly and continued: "As the saying goes, be prepared for danger in times of peace, now that I am a hundred officials in the country, I should think about danger and death, how can I be depressed because of Antai's life, afraid of wolves and tigers?" Today, the Wei State Chen soldiers are at the border, tens of thousands of iron horsemen are waiting for the Dan, and my Dayan soldiers are also brave and good at fighting, the two countries work together, and they attack before and after, how can they not destroy Qingguo? The purpose of spending money and food is just to get more territory, more money and food, and more to dominate the world and bring peace to the four seas. Once Qingqing is extinguished, it will confront the east and west of Wei, and it is not yet known who will kill the deer, but it is much stronger than living in the east now, and it is always much more difficult to enter the map! ”

In today's court, several family giants have their own reasons, but the courtiers are also at a loss, and they really don't know how to choose for a while.

The two factions are full of affection and righteousness, but everyone knows what they are thinking about, and everyone knows why they made such a choice, and everyone knows it, and those smart courtiers in the court can also figure out a little bit about it.

From beginning to end, Su Guanya, the secretary of the ministry, looked calm and didn't say a word, and the emperor obviously noticed this, glanced at Su Guanya, and then said slowly: "Su Aiqing, the Taishi has the meaning of the Taishi, and Han Aiqing has Han Aiqing's plans, but I don't know what your opinion is?" ”

Su Guanya came out and arched his hand: "Back to the saint, the minister doesn't have too many opinions, everything depends on the saint's instructions!" ”

The emperor smiled faintly and said: "Su Aiqing, at this time, it is related to my Dayan national fortune, it is unusual, you are an important minister of the cabinet, you always have to say your opinion, I really want to know what you think in your heart!" ”

Su Guanya pondered for a moment before he said slowly: "Holy Lord, no matter what kind of choice you make, it will be both good and bad for me Dayan. Chen felt that before making a decision, he might as well see what kind of bargaining chips Wei Qing and the two countries would come up with. In today's situation, they are also very clear, and if they want to reach an agreement with my Dayan, they naturally have full sincerity. Before the Wei envoys arrived, we were not in a hurry to make a decision, and when the Wei people also arrived, we sent people to negotiate with them separately, and we were afraid that we would get unexpected gains. After a pause, he smiled slightly and said: "Taishi has a sentence, but when it comes to Weichen's heart, that is, whoever joins forces will get the most benefits, and I Dayan will unite with whom!" We didn't know what price they would offer until the Wei envoy arrived, so we weren't in a hurry to make a decision! ”

Su Xianshi, the Qing of Honglu Temple, was also in the court, and the head of his own family said this, he didn't want to interject, but after thinking about it carefully, he finally came out and asked: "Su Shangshu, now the Qing envoy is waiting in the Sitong Pavilion, and he is preparing to go to the court today to meet the saint and the lower official...... How do I reply? ”

Half of the officials in the court are family officials, and the major surnames are mixed together, and adults can be added to the surname in a single place, if the officials gather, in order to prevent not knowing who is called, they can only add official positions after the surname, which is also a very strange thing in the political arena of Yan State.

Su Guanya didn't speak immediately, but the emperor said lightly: "What Su Aiqing said is extremely true, this matter is very important, and how to make a decision still needs to be discussed." The Wei envoys have not yet arrived, wait until they come to make a decision. After a pause, he said to Su Xianshi: "Qingguo people, let them rest for two days first, I think that before my Dayan has not expressed his attitude, Wei and Qing will not be in a hurry to go to war!" ”

When Han Xuandao and Xiao Taishi saw the emperor say this, it was inconvenient to fight anymore, knowing that this matter could not be decided at once, so they both bowed down and went back.

After a few more discussions, the court dispersed.

When the ministers arrived at the Yan'an Palace, Taishi Xiao slowly came to Han Xuandao's side, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Lord Han, the court is arguing, you and I are for my Dayan's future, although I have seen different things, but my intentions are good, but I don't think that the old man is raising the bar with you!" ”

Han Xuandao arched his hand and smiled: "Where does the Taishi say, the court debates, that is also a normal thing, how can Xuandao be cranky." Taishi is highly respected, worried about national affairs, and the strategies he offers, that is also to make my Yan Kingdom stronger, Xuandao is very admired in his heart. It's just that what Xuan Dao thinks in his heart is quite different from that of the Taishi, so he came out to state his opinions, which made the Taishi smile! ”

Master Xiao sighed: "Lord Han really understands the old man's thoughts. What the old man did was ...... for me to be strong and prosperous for Dayan! Shaking his head, he looked left and right, got closer, and asked in a low voice, "Does Lord Han know that something happened when the envoy entered the city yesterday?" ”

Han Xuandao frowned, then unfolded, and said with a faint smile: "But I don't know what the Grand Master is referring to?" ”

"Yesterday, the Qing envoy entered the city, and An Yuqing, the deputy envoy of the Qing State, was arrogant and arrogant, and there was no one in his eyes, and he clashed with the city gate guards...... The guards at the city gate didn't know that they were the Qingguo Mission, and the conflict was fierce, and it happened that my eldest grandson Mingtang went out of the city to hunt, and saw a group of people making trouble at the city gate, and they were filled with righteous indignation, and they taught An Yuqing ...... who was making trouble a lesson! Taishi Xiao's expression was calm, and his seemingly dim but sharp eyes stared at Han Xuan and said, "But as far as the old man knows, Lord Han's nephew Han Mo also happened to pass through the West City Gate at that time, and for some reason, he actually did something to my eldest grandson...... We know what is going on, but we know that it is children playing around, but ...... Those outside who don't know, I'm afraid there will be some gossip! ”

Han Xuandao knew that this was the old fox who wanted to clear Xiao Mingtang's responsibility for beating the Qing envoy, and even took the opportunity to fabricate charges for Han Moluo, his face was calm, "Oh", and asked, "But I don't know what gossip will be?" ”

Master Xiao stroked his beard and laughed: "It's all some gossip, nonsense, but it's not a good thing...... It's just that Han Mo has something to do with the Qingguo people, so he helped the Qingguo people beat the old man's grandson...... Lord Han, gossip is inevitable, and you don't take the words that spread rumors to heart about it. ”

Han Xuandao said calmly: "What the Taishi said is very true, the children are playing, let's be elders, we know it in our hearts." Don't hide it from the Taishi, I am quite clear about this matter, that An Yuqing stayed in the Sitong Pavilion, and sent people to Yanjing Mansion and Dali Temple to report the case, saying that there was a group of ruffians and hooligans who disregarded diplomatic etiquette and rode on horseback on the street, just because the convoy of the Qingguo mission blocked the road out of the city, and the leading gentleman violently injured people, and even drew more than a dozen whips from An Yuqing, the deputy envoy of Qingguo, and beat his head to the point of bleeding...... Later, Xuan Dao learned that the ruffian hooligan in An Yuqing's mouth actually referred to the grandson of the Taishi, Mingtang Xian. Lord Hu of Dali Temple told me about this matter, and only said that the Qingguo delegation wanted my Yan Guo to find out the culprit and punish him severely...... This is a diplomatic matter, and Lord Hu didn't dare to slack off, he wanted to continue to investigate, but it was Xuan Dao who felt that Mingtang's virtuous nephew was definitely not such an unreasonable person, so he pressed it down...... I was going to tell the Taishi, but I didn't want the Taishi to know about it! ”

Taishi Xiao smiled and said, "That's because Lord Lao Han suppressed the case. Fu Xu said: "But after the old man learned about this, it doesn't matter if Mingtang is right or wrong, beating the Qing envoy is a big deal, before I went to the court, I have sent someone to tie Mingtang to the criminal department, so that the criminal department can thoroughly investigate this matter, the prince broke the law, and he is still guilty of the same crime as the common people, not to mention the old man's unscrupulous grandson!" ”

A light flashed in Han Xuandao's eyes, and he sighed: "The Taishi has a clear distinction between public and private, and he is really a model for the ministers, and Xuandao admires it!" ”

He naturally knew very well that Xiao Taishi seemed to have handed over Xiao Mingtang to the Criminal Department for punishment, but after He Qingzhi was beheaded, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department did not fill the vacancy, and the temporary replacement of Shangshu was Xiao Wanchang, the former left attendant of the Criminal Department, that Xiao Wanchang was not someone else, but Xiao Taishi's own nephew, and the eldest son of Xiao Tongguang, the current household servant, that is, Xiao Mingtang's cousin.

Xiao Taishi did not hand over Xiao Mingtang to Dali Temple, nor to Yanjing Mansion, but to Xiao Wanchang of the Criminal Department, and the intention was self-evident.

Taishi Xiao smiled faintly and said softly: "But then again, Lord Han's nephew is also a master who likes to cause trouble. There is a saying that is good, and a lie is said a hundred times before it becomes true...... There is a lot of gossip, and many things are difficult to explain, so ...... Lord Han still has to restrain his nephew, don't give someone a handle, and someone has been caught with the evidence of the crime! ”

Han Xuandao arched his hand and said, "Thank you for reminding me." Master Tai rest assured, Xuan Dao will tell Han Mo to do things in the future, be cautious, and don't be caught! ”

Taishi Xiao smiled, said no more, and walked away slowly.

Han Xuandao looked at Taishi Xiao's back with an indifferent expression, and there was no trace of a smile on that old-fashioned and solemn face.

After the Honglu Temple Qing Su Xianshi dispersed the dynasty, he went to the Sitong Pavilion, politely, and said: "Originally, the saint wanted to summon the prince today, but the dragon was unwell in the past two days, so the saint sent a decree to let the prince and you rest for two days, but the dragon's body has improved, and I will summon you immediately." He apologized with a smile: "I'm really sorry, I'm sorry...... But what do you need, even if you tell the lower officials, the lower officials will do their best! ”

The prince of Xihe and Yun Canglan glanced at each other, and suddenly understood in their hearts that the people of the Yan Kingdom were delaying time, waiting for the Wei delegation to come, and then make a decision.
