"You say." Zun Motian waved his hand.

"From the front, there are several foreign tribes in the west today, and they have repeatedly sent troops to provoke the soldiers of our Great Zhou State who are defending on the border, because King Xuan of Zhou has ordered any border guards not to act without authorization, and the soldiers are bearing the burden of humiliation."

Zun Motian was very angry when he heard Gu Houye's tone, and he knew it in his heart. This old man is probably making a big fuss.

Finally found out the handle of Zun Mojun and shared his worries.

Gu Houye continued, "Last night, a rented barbarian sneaked into our army's camp, robbed the military rations for several days, and killed a soldier guarding the grain depot. ”

Hearing what Gu Houye said, Zun Motian knew that this time was simply a great opportunity for him to take back the military power in his hands, and he took the case, and all the ministers were so frightened that they hurriedly knelt on the ground together.

"Bold foreign thieves, rob my Great Zhou Dynasty military rations, and kill my Great Zhou Dynasty hot-blooded soldiers."

Zun Motian glanced at Zun Mojun who was kneeling in the front row and said.

"King Xuan of Zhou, this king has said many times that the matter of the commander of the military power is in your hands, and naturally all the frontier guards and the affairs of the conquest in various places have to be dealt with by you, Gu Hou Ye reported this matter to the court this morning, it is your dereliction of duty, my Great Zhou State is strong, how can it be humiliated by foreign thieves around the borders?"

Zun Mojun, who was kneeling on the ground, clasped his fists with both hands, and stepped forward.

"In the early days of the border harassment, someone informed me of the incident, and the younger brother sent an envoy to defend and find out the reason, and found that the environment of the foreign tribe there was bad, the snow flew all year round, the four seasons were not distinct, and the life of the foreign people was miserable, and a large number of people often starved to death."

Zun Mojun took a step forward, stood in front of Gu Hou Ye, and continued to say to Zun Motian.

"Because of the difficult conditions, the foreign people who survived were exceptionally strong."

"After hearing this, the younger brother felt that such a group should not be an enemy of it, and should be used by my Great Zhou Kingdom for some benefits."

Hearing this, Zun Motian took a sip of tea, raised his eyebrows, and said to Zun Mojun defiantly, "What does the younger brother mean is to educate this king on how to govern the border?" ”

Zun Mojun hurriedly knelt down and said, "The subordinates don't dare." ”

"My Great Zhou Kingdom is strong, so do I need to accept other foreign races for me? How could this alien race be so easy to recover? ”

"He came to rob my army of food and kill my soldiers, and you, as their commander, are so careless about people's lives here, how can you let me rest assured that you will be in command?"

Standing up with a slap on the table, Zun Motian angrily yelled at Zun Mojun.

Zun Mojun knew that his imperial brother had always been jealous of the military power in his hands, and it was not the first time that he exaggerated the atmosphere of such a trivial matter in front of the civil and military officials, and wanted those civil and military ministers who did not understand to follow the review.

He said unhurriedly, "Your Majesty, your brother is brave." The people of the foreign tribes in the territory do not have a specific country, or a few tribes, or a few groups of villages, and there are about more than 100 households in the liquidation of personnel, and the men of each family have been hunting and farming against the bad weather and climate for many years, and their bodies are extremely sensitive. ”

"Because it's winter on the border, the dawn lasts no more than two hours a day, and often a large number of people starve to death at this time."

Therefore, the ministers and brothers allocated a small amount of military rations and put them where they could get close, and sent a few soldiers with high martial arts skills to garrison them, the purpose of which was to let them seize them and then let them go when they came to rob them.

Zun Motian listened to his explanation, and immediately understood that Zun Mojun was trying to win the hearts of those foreigners.

However, there were many Chinese officials in the court, and they could not understand what Zun Mojun was doing, so he continued to ask.

"Then why are some people dying at the hands of foreigners today?"

"It was the dereliction of duty of the younger brother, presumably there must have been a disobedient subordinate who fought with foreigners, and died in severe cold weather. The younger brother will definitely show great compassion for the soldier's family. Zun Mojun didn't give his imperial brother a chance to relax.

The ministers of the court were discussing, and a doorman under the emperor stood up and spoke.

"The subordinates felt that King Zhou Xuan's actions were extremely inappropriate. Our country's military rations are all national grains collected from the domestic people every year, according to the practice of King Zhou Xuan, wouldn't it be for our citizens to feed the people who do not belong to our territory? ”

Another civil official under the Zunmo Heavenly Sect stood up and said, "The minister seconded the proposal, King Xuan of Zhou is the head of a hundred soldiers, if you want to recover the foreign people, you should lead the troops to attack, our country is strong, and it will definitely win, not to play some small tricks here, not to mention that now that a soldier has died, it is a good time to go on the expedition." ”

The corners of Zun Motian's mouth hooked upward, and he said to Zun Mojun, "What do you think?" ”

"Brother Chen thinks this is not possible." Zun Mojun clenched his fists, turned to the ministers who had just stood up to refute him, and said to them.

"At this time, the climate in the territory is extremely poor, and it is dark almost all day, and foreigners are naturally more suitable and understand the terrain there than our soldiers, so they should not go on an expedition at this time."

Zun Motian continued his words and said, "Brother Chen, are you afraid? ”

"The subordinate has led the army to fight for many years, and there is nothing to be afraid of or not afraid in his heart."

"Brother Chen, this is considering the overall situation, and can be recovered in a more ingenious way, why do you need to consume troops to fight an inevitable battle?"

After listening to Zun Mojun's words, the ministers behind them all retreated one after another and did not speak again.

Zun Motian thought for a long time and said to him, "After all, it was your negligence that led to the death of a soldier, and you will not care about this matter of managing the frontier in the future." ”

Zun Mojun sneered, looked at Zun Motian with cold eyes, and whispered in his mouth, "The minister knows." ”

He thought about it for a while, before the two of them were still planning in the room to help his imperial brother create a picture of his encounter with Gu Muqi, and now he put on a yellow robe and tried his best to empty himself.

He knew that the war between the two brothers had never ended.

There are still two days left before the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, which can make Gu Muqing very busy.

She told the maids in the room to take out their clothes and put them on their bodies.

When Zun Mojun, who was physically and mentally exhausted, returned home, he came to Gu Muqing's room as soon as possible, looked at the scene in front of him, and asked puzzledly, "What is Madam doing?" ”

Gu Muqing saw that it was Zun Mojun who was coming, and ran to his side happily, "Lord Wang, you're back, the concubine is picking out clothes here." ”

Usually when he goes to the palace, Gu Muqing needs to wear heavy court clothes, this time because it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, it has the meaning of family reunion, so the emperor ordered it to be regarded as a family banquet, and there is no need to live in the weekday etiquette.
