Chapter 170: Foolish Minister

The majestic hall has been lit up, only here is dazzling and brilliant in the night, the front hall is the place where the main world is done, its atmosphere is different from the apse relaxed and leisurely, even the palace people on duty here, each of them is holding a serious face, solemn and waiting.

Ling Feng came in a hurry, and the servants dismounted and rushed to the palace, and the armor on his body had not had time to be removed, and he had been waiting in the palace for a long time, with joy and sorrow in his heart, and he was very anxious, and he couldn't help pacing left and right. I was about to see through it, and finally I heard someone sing from afar: "Your Majesty has arrived-"

With this voice, Ling Feng couldn't wait to meet it, opened the curtain in person, and when Chu Zikai came in, he retreated to the side and knelt down and bowed his head. "Your Majesty."

Chu Zikai walked straight to the top and sat down, waved his hand to excuse himself, picked up the map on the table to check, and asked without raising his head: "Is the news presented by Yan Ling reliable, do you plan to officially make a war with Xifan after a month?" ”

Ling Feng replied: "Your Majesty's opinion, everything is expected by Your Majesty, but the minister listened to General Zhenguo and said that Your Majesty's intentions, this battle Dachu does not want to interfere, and let them kill each other and fend for themselves." But according to the spies, the king of Yanling got the news that Da Chu did not want to interfere, and this time he was high-spirited, and it is said that he had the idea of exterminating the West with all his national strength. ”

However, after a few glances, Chu Zikai saw the current situation clearly from the picture, threw the map in his hand on the table, listened to Ling Feng's words, shook his head and sneered, and said disdainfully: "He is confident, he is really arrogant, greedy and not enough to swallow elephants, Xifan Yu Dachu must indeed be bad, but it is not so weak that he can easily destroy Yan Ling." ”

"But the two countries are both vassals of Dachu, once the war is fought, give each other a huge blow, the loss of people and property is inevitable, the resumption of trade after the war, the resettlement of the fugitive people, etc., in the end, it is not necessary to rely on the aid of Dachu to deal with the aftermath."

Speaking of this, Ling Feng frowned and asked:

"Your Majesty, forgive the minister's courage, the minister wants to know if His Majesty's choice to stand by and watch the difficulties of the West Fan this time is because the crown prince of the West Fan refuses to let the Rong Mansion and the Ning County Lord go out of the customs and kiss."

"Indeed."

Without the slightest evasion, after Chu Zikai replied casually, he casually took the folds next to him and looked at it, and there was not too much unnaturalness on his face.

However, Ling Feng heard him admit it so bluntly, and after being surprised, he was so excited.

"Please also ask Your Majesty to think twice, if you lose the support of the people of the vassal country in order to get a female streamer, it is definitely not a wise move!"

Chu Zikai flipped through the book again, still too lazy to give him a look, and only replied: "The stars show that Hening is a blessed star from the sky, and the people expect her to marry into Dachu, alleviate the plague, and the matter of harmony is expected by everyone, but the prince of the West is too ignorant of lifting, and I naturally want him to see the power of the Heavenly Empire." ”

Ling Fengfu knelt down and arched his hand, and sincerely persuaded: "Your Majesty and Si Tiantai's words, if you say it, you won't believe it anyway. The minister just wanted to solve the question in his heart, since it was the lucky star to save the world, Nanrong and Ning, who had grown up in the west since childhood, why did he have a connection with the Chen Concubine Yu clan who had rebelled in Luoyuan before? ”

Chu Zikai was not afraid at all, and said lightly:

"Si Tiantai has already made the observed celestial phenomena public to the world, and the two stars have descended into the world one after another, first disaster and then blessing, the first emperor's concubine is that disaster, and my harmony is blessing, I don't even know that Ling Shilang will also watch the stars? You don't think it's right, what's wrong? ”

"Your Majesty and the ministers know what is wrong." Ling Feng's waist stood straight, the anger in his heart surged, he strengthened his courage, and said coldly against Long Wei: "The two stars of fortune and misfortune have come into the world one after another, and their faces are the same, is this really a coincidence, or is it that Your Majesty deceived the world because of love?" ”

Hearing this, Chu Zikai glanced at him sharply, stood up, propped his hands on the table, and said with a sneer: "You have the heart and ability, and the affairs of Xifan can be investigated so clearly, which gives you a lot of confidence to dare to question the king, do you think my decision-making is wrong?" Since you are not satisfied, why don't you help me rule the world? ”

Ling Feng felt that he was reasonable, and still said loudly: "Your Majesty's internal court, the minister has never had the right to manage it, but the minister has to think about the common people, and the act of harmony is a lot of trouble, and I really don't see what the effect of the epidemic is, and I ask Your Majesty to give an explanation, why do you have to do this?" ”

"Ling Feng, you are so open-minded, it's hard for you to rack your brains, and I am willing to be tired to help me think about the safety and interests of the people in the world."

After Chu Zikai finished mocking, he asked rhetorically:

"Since you care about the world and think that my idea will have no effect on curbing the cold plague, then Ling Shilang has other ideas?"

As soon as this question came out, Ling Feng was stunned and speechless. The cold epidemic is a matter related to the lives of tens of millions of people, and if you are not completely sure, no one will dare to answer it easily.

Seeing this, Chu Zikai sat down, raised his hand and threw a book on the table in front of him:

"The previous corruption of officials has made the people lose trust in the imperial court, so that people everywhere are scattered."

"The people did not trust the government, so they ran around like headless flies, and began to seek crooked ways in a vain attempt to save themselves."

"There will always be people with ulterior motives, those people want to take advantage of the country's difficulties to be demons, deceive the people's property, pretend to be gods, and evil factions will rise."

"The people are simple, easy to be deceived, and they are sick and do not want to believe the words of the government to be cured in time, and many people gather in one place to pray to God and worship Buddha, and it is a large piece of dye! This is the reason for the recurrence of the epidemic. ”

"I put forward the idea of the Heavenly Maiden to save the world, and to cure foolishness with foolishness, so that the people of the Quartet can feel at ease, and once again choose to trust the government and obey the disaster relief."

Seeing that Ling Feng's face was unnatural, and sweat was oozing from the corners of his forehead, Chu Zikai shook his head with a sneer, and the words changed:

"Why, these news came through your people yesterday, Ling Shilang is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, every word reveals his concern for the people's livelihood, and the words he said are all criticisms of the faint monarch to protect the people, but I don't know how many news came from the disaster area. What's going on? I want to personally open my mouth and explain to you word by word, what is the role of disaster relief strategies? ”

Coming in a hurry, Ling Feng really only cared about whether Nanrong and Ning and Yu Zhao were the same person, and actually ignored the fundamental matter, and at this moment, he was asked by Chu Zikai's words and sarcastic, and he couldn't help but feel empty, and hurriedly bowed his head and asked for guilt: "Your Majesty forgives you, it's the ...... of ignorance."

The attitude of admitting mistakes is quite sincere, Chu Zikai has always known that Ling Feng has brute force and impulsiveness, but his heart is still loyal, and he doesn't want to embarrass him more, so he is polite:

"Since you know your mistakes and admit your mistakes, it is not hopeless, and then you will use your energy where it should be used, this time you dare to rashly inquire about the details of He Ning, I will detain this crime for the time being, if you commit it again, deal with it together, get up."
