Chapter 171: Stratagem

After Ling Feng Xie En got up, he patted the dust on his body, he was unwilling, and quickly adjusted and returned to his awe-inspiring and righteous appearance.

"But although this move is settled, in terms of the overall situation of the world, the disadvantages have been revealed."

"Your Majesty's tough decision to make peace with the county lord of Hening has already made Xifan feel embarrassed. Why did they intensify their efforts and force them to hand over the territorial governance rights east of Yecheng? ”

"It is already rude to have unprovoked dignitaries, and the unwarranted invasion of the territory of other countries makes me even more arrogant!"

This time, Yan Ling also took the opportunity to surround the west, and His Majesty chose to watch from the sidelines regardless of the suitability of the two countries for a hundred years. It's just a matter of not helping them, and even has the intention of fanning the flames, coming and going, if Zephan succeeds in saving himself, the people will definitely not really surrender to the Celestial Empire again! ”

The long passage of words was full of the meaning of elbows turning outward, how Chu Zikai listened to it, how unpleasant it was, and replied sharply: "I personally decreed to ask for marriage, for Xifan, it is a holy grace, but the crown prince of Xifan did not obey the will and vigorously opposed it, and even incited the people to slander me in every way, and was rude first." Could it be that the dignified Emperor of Chu would have to succumb to the demonstrations of the prince of the vassal state? ”

Ling Feng didn't seem to be a Great Chu person, and argued with Chu Zikai:

"It is clear that the prince of the West Fan has a marriage contract with the lord of Hening County first, His Majesty does not care about the feelings of others, he will naturally not stand idly by, if it is forced, even if His Majesty finally wins, I am afraid that this twisted melon, even if it is sweet, if you want to eat it in your mouth, you will have to go through a thousand difficulties."

It has already been eaten in his mouth, sweet and spicy is very appetizing, Chu Zikai was happy and happy in his heart, a trace of cunning flashed in his eyes, and he said proudly: "So I simply opened my mouth a little wider for the first time and asked for the right to govern the territory east of Yecheng." ”

This remark made Ling Feng puzzled, and he said it all, doesn't this suddenly show that Da Chu is domineering and unreasonable? Ling Feng was full of doubts, but he really couldn't figure out Chu Zikai's chess routine, for fear that he would be stupid again, so he asked tentatively, "What is the effect of this move?" ”

Chu Zikai was secretly glad that he was not in such a hurry to bring Ling Feng to the position of Shangshu, sighed, and made a regretful statement: "Ling Feng, Ling Feng, you are a general brought out by General Zhenguo, it is really a shame for him to be an old man, the more he lives, the more he goes back, he only cares about dancing and playing with swords on weekdays, so that his brain is empty, and the things in it are not as good as Wen Luoduo!" ”

was scolded, Ling Feng was unwilling but couldn't refute it, because he still didn't know that the clear-eyed people who Chu Zikai practiced could see the reason for making things difficult.

Chu Zikai reluctantly explained:

"He Ning is the only bloodline of the Xifan Nanrong clan, and her status is noble, I know that it is not so easy to marry her, and I must negotiate."

"Since it is a negotiation, the best way is to leave a way out of negotiation first. The lion's mouth is wide open at the moment, it doesn't mean that he really wants those things. ”

"When the time comes, step by step, let alone the territory east of Yecheng, let it go, don't accept a penny, and hire with heavy gifts, the people of the West will definitely be grateful to Dade for blessing me and Hening."

This explanation made everything clear, Chu Zikai deliberately showed his greedy side first, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked for the right to govern the country, and completely touched the bottom line, so that everyone in the West felt that Da Chu's behavior was incredible, unreasonable, unreasonable, and unacceptable.

After pretending to negotiate several times, Da Chu first lowered his posture and made concessions, step by step, and finally only wanted to marry someone over, and hired him with a lot of money. Zai Dayi took action to wipe out the war and chaos that Yan Ling wanted to provoke, and saved the peaceful life of the people of Xifan.

The cause of the front and the effect of the back, when compared, it seems that Da Chu is simply not too tolerant.

The people of Xifan have been in panic for a long time, and they must be anxious to be stable in their hearts, and they will accept it when they see it, not to mention a Hening county lord, even if they damage the entire Nanrong Mansion, the people may feel that they have earned it. Maybe I'll be grateful to Dade for rushing to help Da Chu count the money.

At that time, if Ye Geqi still insisted, everyone would only see the big step that Da Chu gave up first, but they would feel that he was careless about the livelihood of the people.

This plan uses the momentum of the torrent to lead a trickle, messing with people's original intentions, and it must have taken a lot of effort to complete this game step by step, which shows that Chu Zikai cares about Yu Zhao beyond everyone's imagination.

Thinking of this, Ling Feng sighed helplessly. "That woman, she was originally a guilty person, not to mention the cruelty and cruelty of the methods, even the death of the first emperor was related to her, Your Majesty is sure to adhere to the ......"

"Shut up...... Chu Zikai's face was instantly gloomy, and he cut off his words in a cold voice: "These words will rot in my heart in the future." ”

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent, mentioning the death of Emperor Yuan, Chu Zikai was sad from his heart, and his face was ugly, although Emperor Yuan said before he died that without that knife, I am afraid that he would not live long, and he did not have to worry about Yu Zhao. Now Chu Zikai still feels ashamed.

I couldn't resist the love in my heart, I was reluctant to let go of Yu Zhao, and I didn't leave her by my side, so I felt that this life was hopeless, leaving her by my side, thinking of the origin emperor, the shame urged my heart to hurt, so I could only choose to hide and escape, once I was turned out, I felt that the guilt was peeled out with a knife and burned on the fire, and I was anxious.

Suddenly reprimanded, Ling Feng looked at what he had done today, knowing that among all the things he had just discussed with Chu Zikai, there was a suspicion of confrontation. At this moment, seeing Chu Zikai's face completely changed, he didn't dare to touch any of his bottom lines again, and kept silent with interest.

Seeing that he stopped talking, Chu Zikai calmed down for a moment, put pen to paper, and ordered: "From tomorrow, you are responsible for leading the troops to defend Luoyuan, and my future queen is the dazzling pearl of Nanrong Mansion. ”

Ling Feng raised his head in astonishment when he heard this, and said incredulously: "Your Majesty is going to give her the position of queen?" ”

Chu Zikai didn't raise his head, and replied while writing: "Please also ask Ling Shilang to know who my wife is, I can only make my own decisions, and anyone who opposes it will be considered trespassing!" ”

"Please think again, Your Majesty. The position of the queen is related to the inheritance of the Great Chu River, a foreign noblewoman is absolutely not qualified to enjoy the dignity of the Middle Palace, and that person is still ......"

The warning was ahead, the power was still there, Ling Feng didn't dare to say any more, and seeing Chu Zikai's insistent appearance of being deaf and unmoved, he also knew that persuasion had no effect, so he had no choice but to stop his mouth, his fists clenched and gurgling, trying his best to suppress his dissatisfaction.

Chu Zikai finished writing the edict by himself, and after stamping it with the seal, he waved his big hand in front of him: "If there is nothing to report, I will take the edict and retreat." ”

Ling Feng nodded helplessly, stepped forward to pick up the edict and took it, his mood gradually stabilized, and after recovering his demeanor, he saluted solemnly: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, the inheritance of the heirs of Da Chu is promising, Concubine Ling is happy in March, and the minister is here to give good news." ”

Suddenly, Chu Zikai's heart sank, and he involuntarily exerted force in his hand, and the good wolf pen was folded into two sections with a "card erase", and the ink on the pen splashed everywhere, dyed on the clothes, so it was not embarrassing......
