Chapter 160 It is difficult to distinguish between right and wrong
Sovo didn't say anything long, stood up and left.
In the study, Zheng Hesheng sat behind the bookcase with a heavy face, not knowing what he was thinking? Zheng Heyuan got up and came to the bookcase, his fat body stood in front of Zheng Hesheng's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Can we build so many Ugin chariots in a year?" ”
Zheng Hesheng raised his head suddenly, and a wave of anger on his face was undoubtedly revealed, "What else can you do?" Let you go to Danzhou to be the city lord, you were beaten down by the yellow-haired child, if I didn't take the risk of falsifying the edict, how would you be alive? I don't care what method you use, you must seize that black gold vein for me within a year, and I promise that the thousand chariots of the Eternal Halberd Country will not be delayed for a day! ”
Zheng Heyuan was stunned by Zheng Hesheng's reprimand, but he didn't dare to refute it at all, lowered his head and let endless anger spray towards him, and after Zheng Hesheng stopped, Zheng Heyuan said solemnly: "I will leave for Danzhou tomorrow, first seize the ore vein occupied by the Liu family in Danzhou, and wait for the opportunity to snatch the Wujin ore vein in Langzhou." ”
At this point, Zheng Heyuan slurred: "But ......"
"But what? Say! ”
"I'm not going back to Danzhou this time as the city lord, and I will definitely get in the way when I get things done, and you have to give me some military strength."
"Needless to say, I will hand over the Wind Camp led by the Wind Envoy to you this time, fully cooperate with your actions in Danzhou, and if necessary, kill the city lord directly, and I will carry the consequences for you."
Zheng Heyuan smiled, and when he heard that his brother handed over to him the Wind Camp with the overall strength of the Tongshen Realm, he felt relieved, looked at the sky outside the window and sneered: "Danzhou, I, Zheng Heyuan, will go back soon, you wait for my revenge!" ”
……
Early the next morning.
The ministers in the Pilu palace had already lined up in front of the government hall to wait, and as soon as the hour passed, the eunuch dragged a long voice and shouted: "Shang-chao-"
The ministers were divided into two teams, and they walked towards the government affairs hall.
Zong Taiji had already sat on the throne, looking at the ministers who came in with burning eyes, and after the ministers knelt and bowed, he ordered the eunuch on his side to announce - there is something to start, nothing to retreat.
Ministers, look at me, I look at you, and no one will stand up first. At this moment, the national lieutenant Meng re-lined up and arched his hand: "The minister has something to do to start the king." ”
"Captain, please."
"The minister has been analyzing the situation in the world for the past few days, and I feel that this time the five countries have come to force me to kill Shangqing."
"What's the matter?"
"The minister analyzed the mountains and rivers drawn by the previous Shangqing, according to the soldier's analysis of the war, the minister thinks that it is unreasonable for the Yongji country to come out of the world now, although the Yongji country is strong, but the general of the Yongji country is a famous general in the world, not an arrogant person, he can't not know that the situation of the six countries in the world is actually containing each other, I am afraid that this time the five countries to make it is just a show."
"The meaning of the national captain is that even if Gu doesn't listen to them, they won't send troops to Pilu if they don't kill Kong Rong?"
"That's exactly what it means." Meng Zhong then said: "If the Eternal Halberd Kingdom destroys my Pilu Kingdom, let's not say that we will not sit idly by, and even the neighboring Jingliang Kingdom will not agree. Jing Liang Kingdom is not a fool, if they help the Eternal Halberd Kingdom to destroy the Pilu Kingdom, Jing Liang Kingdom will become a force of enemies on their backs, how can they dig their own graves? The minister thought that there must be another reason for this matter, and hoped that the king would take back the order to kill Shangqing Kong Rong, and then make careful plans. ”
Zong Taiji did not rush to answer, but intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Zheng Hesheng, the court commander who was thinking down, according to the past practice, after Meng Zhong spoke, he would inevitably refute, and he would definitely not be silent like a lamb today.
However, what Zong Taiji did not expect was that although Tingwei spoke, he did not refute Meng Chong's intentions, and his words revealed his approval of Meng Chong's words.
Zheng Hesheng said: "The minister thought that the analysis of the national captain was extremely serious, the five countries came to blindly force the king to kill Shangqing this time, but there was no other action, if the Eternal Halberd Kingdom really wants to take this opportunity to destroy my Pilu, the envoy should go first, and the army will follow, which also responds to the saying of salute first and then soldier." The minister thought that the envoys of the five countries were just bluffing, and there must be other plans. ”
Zong Taiji looked at Zheng Hesheng, the court commander, and secretly said in his heart that Zheng Hesheng's Chengfu was really good, he expected that he would definitely kill Kong Rong, and he was able to put down his son, take the initiative to cater to his rival, and skillfully avoided his suspicion of wanting to put Kong Rong to death.
This made Zong Taiji a headache, through this matter, he saw that Zheng Hesheng was not easy to deal with, so he pretended to be a little annoyed, waved his hand and said: "Don't waste time on this matter, Gu has already decided, Kong Rong violated Ji Tianzi's regime, and bewitched the people in my Pilu country, claiming to implement a new law, which has brought indelible contradictions to Ji Tianzi, and if you don't kill him, you can't solve Ji Tianzi's worries, Kong Rong must be killed." ”
When Meng Zhong heard this, he wanted to say something more, but at this moment, a notice came from outside the door of the government affairs hall, "The envoys of the five countries have come to ask for a meeting-"
Hearing this, Zong Taiji's heart was churning, and he guessed that the envoys of the five countries came at this time, and they must have forced him to execute Kong Rong as soon as possible, so he immediately waved his hand, and the eunuch immediately responded, Gao Xuan: "The envoys of the five countries have come to see you——"
The five envoys of different appearances were majestic and high-spirited, and under the leadership of Sowo, the envoy of the Eternal Halberd Kingdom, they entered the hall with their heads held high, and did not salute Zong Taiji, Sowo said arrogantly: "King Pilu, you should know what we are here for, right?" We, the King of Yongji, have sent a letter to inquire when Pilu will execute the people who have changed the law privately, and if your country does not take action again, the army of the five kingdoms will immediately come to the city. ”
Zong Taiji's face gradually became gloomy, and he said in his heart, even if you are a special envoy, don't you understand any etiquette when you come to my Pilu country? Then he said coldly: "Kong Rong is the secretary of my Pilu State, although it is against Ji Tianzi's regime to advocate changing the law, but you don't need to dictate when it will be implemented!" ”
"You ......" Sowo saw that Zong Taiji was so tough, and the posture of a strong country that had been formed all along was undoubtedly revealed, "Monarch of Pilu, aren't you afraid that I will pass the book back now and let the army of the five countries immediately set out to fight against Pilu?" ”
Zong Taiji had long seen through the intention of the envoys of the five countries to come, and the day before yesterday he personally went to Yunyang Prison and received confirmation from Kong Rong that they would definitely not come to attack with a large army. Today, the national lieutenant Meng Zhong also made a detailed analysis, which coincided with Kong Rong's conjecture. Thinking of this, Zong Taiji squinted at Suo Wo, suddenly patted the book case, and stood up, "Although you pass the book back, I, the Pilu people, would rather die in battle than be scared to death!" ”
Sowo's beard shook by Zong Taiji's words, and he said three words in succession, but he couldn't say the following.
Zong Taiji had long expected that as soon as he sang with a red face, Zheng Hesheng would inevitably jump out and sing with a white face, and there was really nothing wrong with it, Zheng Hesheng bowed his hand at this time, and said softly to Sowo and other envoys: "Envoys, don't be impatient, the king has already condemned Kong Rong to death, and he will definitely carry it out in the near future, and I hope that the deep-rooted friendship between our countries will not be ruined because of a mouse." ”
After listening to Zheng Hesheng's words, Suo Wo surprisingly stopped entanglement, and his tone softened, and he arched his hand towards Zong Taiji and said: "Our Yongji Kingdom has always been friendly with all countries, if it weren't for someone in your country to maliciously overthrow Ji Tianzi's regime, we would definitely not come to Xingshi to ask for guilt, and I hope that King Pilu will take this matter seriously." ”
Zong Tai was extremely careful about Sowo, who began to understand it, and also pretended to be helpless, and said angrily: "After all, Kong Rong has assisted the government for many years, and he has always been loyal before, and Gu is also a little unbearable, but the crimes he committed make Gu really have no way to cover up. Alas! ”
Sowo glanced at Zheng Hesheng intentionally or unintentionally, and when he saw his gaze moving forward, he immediately realized that he would let himself take advantage of the victory to pursue, so he said: "We can understand the feelings of the monarch, but we are also ordered to come to supervise the execution of Kong Rong by the Pilu State, and we also have to suffer, and I hope that the monarch will focus on the overall situation and kill Kong Rong as soon as possible, so that we can go back as soon as possible." ”
At this moment, among the envoys who had not spoken, Ulatto, the special envoy of Jingliang State, who was wearing a one-sleeved robe, also stepped forward to convince him, "I also hope that the monarch of Pilu will put the overall situation first and kill Kong Rong as soon as possible." ”
It didn't matter what Ulatto said, the national lieutenant Meng Zhong walked out of the queue with a solemn face, and teased: "You Jingliang Country and Yongji Country have been fighting all day long, but today you have become a lobbyist of Yongji Country, don't you know what Yongji Country wants?" Are you not afraid that they will do something to you in the future? ”
Urato and Mengzhong are old acquaintances, Mengzhong has been fighting with Jingliangguo in the border for many years, and Urato, as a special envoy, travels between the two armies all day long to spread words, and they are naturally very familiar. Meng Zhong also clearly knew that Ulato did not have a good impression of the Eternal Halberd Country, and it was really a bit reluctant for them to form an alliance this time, maybe with a little provocation, the alliance would fall apart.
To Mengzhong's surprise, Ulato replied without hesitation, "That's a matter between our two countries, and there is no need for Captain Mengzhong to worry, if Captain Mengzhong feels that it is too stable to be closest to the Stone Fortress, I will go back and ask my king to come to the border battle a few more times." ”
"Humph!" Meng Zhong snorted coldly, "I'm afraid you won't make it?!" ”
As soon as Meng Chong's words came out, Ulato had not yet spoken, and Zheng Hesheng interjected first, "Captain, you must be cautious in the war, if you continue to fight like this, it will not be good for any country, and I still have to deal with this matter, right?" ”
"You're going to handle it?" Meng Zhong said disdainfully: "I think you can't wait to kill Shangqing, who of you here doesn't know your thoughts?" ”
"Lieutenant! Please speak in a measured manner, I will not reason with you today in front of the envoy, because I don't want to make jokes in front of outsiders, and I advise you to stop messing around. Zheng Hesheng replied in a straight voice.
Meng Zhong wanted to refute it again, but Zong Taiji hurriedly stopped, "Don't argue anymore, the meaning of the envoy of the five countries is already clear, that is, he wants to kill Kong Rong as soon as possible to prevent future troubles, since it is difficult to ride a tiger at present, it is okay to kill Kong Rong a day earlier, pass on the order, and behead him at the noon gate tomorrow." ”
Hearing this, Sovo and the others glanced at each other, their eyes full of joy.
