Chapter 62: Ren Guo's courtiers and remnants of the party refute the governor
I don't know when it began, Emperor Wan Guifei liked to stand alone at the window and look out of the window.
"Si Kou Beixi, your death date is approaching."
Saying that, the imperial concubine suddenly laughed "hahaha", and saw tears falling down her clothes from the corners of her eyes.
"Your Majesty, Arce, who is next door to the Qinzhou tribe, wants to make friends with Beiliang."
"Oh?"
Taiqing presented the letter to His Majesty.
His Majesty opened the letter on the spot, and after reading it, he threw it to his father-in-law on the side.
"Arce is next door to the Qinzhou tribe, but its strength is far smaller than that of the Qinzhou tribe. If it weren't for Princess Xu Ming in our dynasty, I'm afraid that Arce wouldn't want to be friends with Beiliang. ”
Your Majesty is telling the truth.
As soon as His Majesty's words came out, the ministers below talked about it.
"I don't know what Zhong Aiqing's opinion is."
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is not impossible to be friendly with Arce."
"Go on."
"Although Arce is far inferior to the Qinzhou tribe, it is better to have one more friend than one more enemy."
The one who said this was the Lord Ren Du who replaced Yuan Taiqing.
"The minister thinks it can't."
Chaoyuan stood up against Rendu.
"What is Chaoyuan Taiqing's opinion?"
The minister believes that since Arce is far inferior to the Qinzhou tribe, there is no need to make friends. Although the words of Lord Rendu are not bad, the minister thinks that there is no need to make friends. Everyone is well, if you don't offend me, I won't offend you. ”
His Majesty nodded hurriedly, "This time, I agree with Chaoyuan Taiqing. Since Arce is far inferior to the Qinzhou tribe, there is no need to make friends. ”
"Your Majesty, please think again! Although Arce is far inferior to the Qinzhou tribe, there is no need to become opposites! "Ren Du did his best to make amends.
Chao Yuan turned to Rendu and said, "Dare to ask Lord Rendu, if you don't make friends with Arce, how can you stand on the opposite side of Arce?" Chao Yuan retorted to Ren Du.
Rendu was a little annoyed, turned to Chaoyuan, and said, "Bei Liang is not friendly with Arce, so he refuses to be friendly with Arce. Even if Arce is far inferior to the Qinzhou tribe, can't Arce unite several tribes to attack Beiliang? Since there is nothing wrong with Beiliang and Arce, why don't you want to make friends with one more tribe? ”
Chao Yuan smiled, "If it is according to what Lord Rendu said, then other tribes will think that Beiliang can make friends with any tribe." Over time, various tribes came to make friends with Beiliang. What do you think is good? ”
"What's wrong with being friends with multiple tribes? Is there anything wrong with this to strengthen the power of Beiliang? ”
"How can Lord Rendu confirm that Arce's friendship with Bei Liang is not for anything else? If Arce befriended Bei Liang with a purpose, if something happened, it was not something that Lord Rendu could solve. ”
"It's just to make friends, why do you want to come to Beiliang with a purpose? Wouldn't it be better to directly unite the tribes to attack Beiliang? As he spoke, Ren Du became angry.
Chao Yuan turned to His Majesty, looked at His Majesty, and said firmly, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is better not to make friends with Arce. Even if Arce uses this to attack Beiliang, then my Beiliang will also fight with Arce. If Arce is defeated, His Majesty does not need to make friends with Arce to recover Arce. ”
When Ren Du heard Chao Yuan's words, the anger in his heart soared.
"Lord Chaoyuan, what you said is easy. If it is at war with Arce, although Arce's strength is not very good. But the battle with Arce will cost many soldiers to some extent. Since you can befriend Arce without sacrificing soldiers, why not make friends directly with Arce? ”
"Lord Rendu is wrong in what he said. Although fighting with Arce will sacrifice soldiers, it can be used to warn the tribes of various continents that Beiliang is not something they can make friends with at will. In order to highlight the prestige of Beiliang. ”
"Lord Chaoyuan is simply unreasonable when he says this." Ren Du yelled.
Everyone in the court watched Ren Du refute Chao Yuan.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Lord Chaoyuan said is very true." Ren Zhongshen stepped forward and said.
Chao Yuan turned to look at Ren Zhongshen and smiled secretly.
"The minister seconded the proposal." Zhenrui, Puquan, Nanyuan, Xuxu, Liu Qing and other five people seconded the proposal.
"You .....," Ren Du was so angry that he pointed his hand at them.
"The minister thinks that if His Majesty is friendly with various tribes, it will make many tribes think that Beiliang is easy to bully." Ren Zhong said in detail.
"It's just a good friend, why do you think Bei Liang is easy to bully? What Lord Ren said was really vexatious. Ren Du yelled.
"Lord Rendu is just thinking about this matter from his own point of view, if you look at it from the perspective of the entire Beiliang, it is not a good thing to be friendly with Arce." Ren Zhongshen retorted.
Rendu is about to be so angry that his veins will burst.
"This official has been in the DPRK for many years, how can he just stand from his own point of view?"
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he can't be on good terms with Arce." Pu Quan said.
His Majesty has carefully analysed what they have said, and thinks that he cannot be on good terms with Arce.
"Okay, this time, I agree with Chaoyuan Taiqing and the others, and don't make friends with Arce." His Majesty makes the final decision.
"Your Majesty!" Ren Du shouted.
"Alright, I've made up my mind. Retreat. ”
After the next court, Ren Zhongshen and others came together.
"How's your preparation?" Ren Zhong asked in detail.
"The swords and arrows are almost ready, and there are still 30,000 left. What about arms? Pu Quan asked.
"It's been more than ten days, and only 10,000 munitions have been prepared, which is still far away." Ren Zhong sighed carefully.
Liu Qing was surprised, "This is only 10,000 arms?" Although he was surprised, he still controlled his volume.
Ren Zhongxian nodded helplessly, "If you prepare 100,000 swords and arrows, you will help prepare the arms." ”
"We all know that." Nan Yuan looked around and said, "Emperor Wan and Concubine Wan will help prepare 50,000 arms, we only need to prepare the remaining 100,000." ”
Ren Zhongshen nodded, "That's good, that's good." ”
Ren Zhongshen heard Nanyuan say that Emperor Wan would help prepare the arms, so he breathed a sigh of relief and felt that his shoulders were not so heavy.
Among the seven people of Zhenrui, Puquan, Nanyuan, Xuxu, Liu Qing, Chaoyuan and Ren Zhongshen, four of them are martial artists.
Bei Ran and Mo Ran were surprised when they heard about today's incident.
His Majesty has always listened to Ren Du very much, and this time he will listen to Chao Yuan and others.
"Hasn't my father always listened to Rendu? Why did you listen to Chaoyuan's people this time? Mo Ran asked suspiciously.
Bei Ran thought about it, but he couldn't figure out why.
Arse is obviously far inferior to the Qinzhou tribe, but if Arce and Beiliang are friendly, it is equivalent to Beiliang and Qinzhou tribes, Arse, and Qinwen tribes, and the combined power is far more than what they know. But why is His Majesty reluctant to make friends with Arce?
"There is also Chaoyuan, Chaoyuan is only willing on weekdays. Why are you arguing with Rendu in the main hall today? ”
In the past ten years, Chaoyuan has always been very careful and never argued with Taiqing in the court. Today is different.
"What I didn't expect was that Ren Zhongshen also agreed with Chaoyuan." Beiran said.
"Yes! It's just weird. Mo Ran echoed.
Although Bei Ran and Mo Ran are not in the early dynasty, they will care about the daily arguments in the court.
For every minister in the court, Bei Ran and Mo Ran will have some basic understanding.
Following the death of Fu Taiqing and Yuan Taiqing, the celebrities in front of His Majesty are Ren Du and Ren Zhongshen.
Although Ren Zhongshen has always been neutral, it does not prevent him from being a celebrity in front of His Majesty.
After the next dynasty, His Majesty recruited Ren Zhongshen to the Xuyang Palace.
"Your Majesty."
"Flat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Although I have made up my mind, I still have to ask."
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"I know that you have never had an argument with Taiqing in the early dynasty, but why today?"
Ren Zhongxian did not answer His Majesty immediately, but thought clearly and organized the language before speaking.
Chen believes that Beiliang is not friendly with Arce, in addition to being far inferior to the Qinzhou tribe, there is another reason. If His Majesty is friendly with all the tribes, although the Arce and Qinzhou tribes and the Qinwen tribe are united, it will be very good. But if one of the tribes had a dispute with the other one day, what would Your Majesty choose? Who should I help? ”
Ren Zhong got to the point.
His Majesty nodded approvingly, "I agree with Chaoyuan Taiqing, and there is also this reason. ”
"So, is Your Majesty still hesitating?"
His Majesty shook his head.
"Since Your Majesty did not hesitate, then Your Majesty summoned the ministers to come just to ask the ministers this question?"
"It's just one of them. I have one more task for you. ”
"Your Majesty, please command."
"It's up to you to respond to the refusal to befriend Arce!"
After Ren Zhongshen heard this, he was very happy in his heart.
"Minister, obey the order."
"Alright, you can step back first! If you think of how to respond, tell me. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After Ren Zhongshen left the Xuyang Palace, he went to the Mianwan Palace.
"Niangniang, Ren Zhongshen asked to see my lord."
"Bring it in."
Aunt Su went outside the hall and brought Ren Zhongshen in. Then, Aunt Su waited outside the hall as usual.
"Is there something wrong?"
"Presumably Niangniang has heard about the better things between Arce and Beiliang."
Emperor Wan nodded.
"Your Majesty has decided not to be friendly with Arce, and the matter of not befriending Arce in response to it will be left to the minister."
When Emperor Wan's concubine heard this, her eyes were full of light.
"Your Majesty entrusted it to you?" Emperor Wan couldn't believe her ears.
Ren Zhongshen nodded, "Yes, so as soon as I got out of the Xuyang Palace, I came to this Mianwan Palace to tell my mother." ”
Emperor Wan's concubine was very happy, with a smile on her face.
"Good, very good."
"I wonder if my mother wants to do anything?"
Emperor Wan thought for a while, and said with a smile on her face, "Didn't Your Majesty let you do this?" ”
Ren Zhongshen nodded.
"Your Majesty must have asked you to figure out how to respond and tell Your Majesty, right?"
Ren Zhongxiang nodded, "Exactly." ”
Emperor Wan's concubine could guess, there was nothing to be surprised about. For so many years, the pillow people will have some understanding of His Majesty.
"You follow your own plan of response and tell Your Majesty. When you respond, you must go to Arce. When the time comes, you tell the palace in advance, and the palace will go to Arce with you. ”
"Mother is going to Arce?"
Emperor Wan's concubine nodded, "Arce is far inferior to the Qinzhou tribe, and Arce was refused to be friendly by Bei Liang. Arce not only will not send troops to attack Beiliang, but will always propose to make friends with Beiliang. ”
"Why is Niang Niang so sure?"
"You'll know when the time comes."
"So, Niangniang, do you want Arce to send troops to attack Bei Liang, so as to reduce the strength of Bei Liang?" This is the only possibility that Ren Zhongshen can think of.
Ren Zhong said in detail what Emperor Wan was thinking, and nodded in agreement.
"You're right. Even if Bengong knew that Arce would be captured by Bei Liang in the end, it didn't matter. The important thing is that what the palace wants is to want Beiliang to lose his troops because of this. Once the strength is lost, it is impossible to recover without two and a half years. ”
"Niangniang deserves to be a mother."
When Emperor Wan was a child, she read some military books, but she never expected that one day she would use this knowledge.
"Do you have a picture of how to do it?"
Ren Zhongshen nodded, "The minister has thought about it." ”
"How are you going to politely refuse Arce?"
"There are no plans to make friends with any tribe at the moment."
After hearing this, the smile on the face of Emperor Wan became even more.
"Neither offend Arce, nor lead to war."
"Anything else?"
"The minister retired first."
Emperor Wan nodded.
Ren Zhong walked out of the Mianwan Palace, and Aunt Su entered the hall.
As soon as Aunt Su entered the hall, she saw the smile on the face of Emperor Wan's concubine.
"What's so happy about Niangniang?"
"Aunt Su, ........ soon"
