Chapter 237: Wait for the times to change

In less than half an hour, the three divisions entered the hall, and the Imperial Soul Division came to win the person Meng Yuan, and the chief priest Qi Renquan knew that the Spirit Emperor did not want to see him, so as soon as Chu Qin left, he said that he was sick and recuperated at home, and the Spirit Emperor was too lazy to pay attention to him, so he let Meng Yuan take charge of the affairs of the Royal Soul Division.

Meng Yuan was able to be a priest, thanks to Chu Qin's recommendation, in fact, whether it was ability or qualifications, no matter how it was calculated, it was not Meng Yuan's turn, but Chu Qin said to the Spirit Emperor that Meng Yuan was a person who was clear about right and wrong, chivalrous, and a person like Dongfang Xuan.

When the boy waiter was selected, he reminded the people of the cage fight, so he was disqualified and participated in the cage fight for the second time, but he didn't hold a grudge against Gu Du, he just looked down on Gu Du.

When Gu Du's name moved the world, Meng Yuan had already abandoned his previous suspicions, and when Gu Du was in trouble, Meng Yuan not only fell into the ground, but also helped Gu Du.

Although from the perspective of the regulations of the imperial court, Meng Yuan is suspected of helping the enemy, he is a very good person and trustworthy.

Emperor Ling did not object, although he understood the meaning of Chu Qin's words, but he did not delve into it, so he appointed Meng Yuan as a priest.

After the three divisions saw the ceremony, the Spirit Emperor said: "Chu Qin told Gu Du about the artillery, and said that although Gu Du didn't say anything, he must have a long-term plan, what do you think about this?" ”

Chu Huaizhong, the head of the Civil Affairs Department, asked: "Your Majesty, what you mean by your words, but you see that the high priest told Gu Du about the artillery?" ”

The Spirit Emperor frowned slightly, hesitated and did not answer.

Shangguan Mingfeng, the head of the Military and Political Department, said: "Your Majesty, since it is the defense of the two countries, Gu Du will know sooner or later, besides, our envoy has been gone for more than a month, and he should have already arrived in the Dragon Kingdom at this time." ”

The Spirit Emperor said: "It's better to know later than earlier, besides, the Bear Man Country has not shown hostility, wouldn't it be better to delay it for a while?" ”

Meng Yuan said: "The emperor, the so-called generals are outside, the king's orders are not subject to it, the high priest is dedicated to the country, and will never show favoritism, since he told Gu Du, there must be his intentions, or difficulties, and I hope the emperor will understand." ”

The Spirit Emperor glanced at him and said coldly: "Now that Gu Du knows about the artillery, he also let Zhu ...... through torture Let the envoy of the Xiongren Kingdom surnamed Zhu explain the structure and principle of the artillery, he will inevitably ask Emperor Ze to send an envoy to the Dragon Kingdom, how do you think it should be handled? ”

Meng Yuan said: "Your Majesty, since the two countries have signed a letter of permanent alliance, they should naturally treat each other with sincerity, and the ministers think it is ......."

"From the priests." Chu Huaizhong interrupted Meng Yuan.

Chu Huaizhong and Chu Qin's views were contrary, he did not agree with Chu Qin's evaluation of Meng Yuan, but felt that Meng Yuan was a little pretentious, especially after being promoted to priesthood.

Chu Huaizhong felt that none of the people who could become a soul master were lacking in heart, but Meng Yuan's performance was really a bit lacking in heart.

Jun Qianqian is right, there is no Meng Yuan who speaks like this, not only to explain the truth, but also to pay attention to the way of speaking, as well as the wording and tone.

Meng Yuan wouldn't not understand this truth, so Chu Huaizhong felt that he did it on purpose.

Meng Yuan is Dongfang He's child attendant, and he also gave the soul of Conghai to Gu Du for Dongfang He, and with such an identity, he can also be recommended by Chu Qin to be a priest, Meng Yuan will naturally speculate about the deeper reason, which is nothing more than the word chivalry.

But Meng Yuan is fundamentally different from Dongfang Xuan, Dongfang Xuan is really chivalrous, and Meng Yuan is just a show.

The reason is very simple, Dongfang Xuan is bent on death to prove his innocence, but Meng Yuan is putting his mind on fame and fortune, a person like Meng Yuan, with Chu Qin pressing on it, he will be loyal to his duty, once there is no suppression, it is difficult to say what will happen to him.

And the matter under discussion at the moment is very delicate, Chu Qin is Gu Du's soul master after all, although the Spirit Emperor has grown, but the so-called country is easy to change, and the temperament is difficult to change, for Chu Qin to inform Gu Du about the artillery, Chu Huaizhong can feel that the Spirit Emperor is extremely displeased, and even has some suspicions.

In this case, Meng Yuan still talking like this would only make the Spirit Emperor even more annoyed in his heart, and it would be harmful to Chu Qin, it was difficult to say what calculations Meng Yuan had in his heart.

Chu Huaizhong said: "There are no two days in the sky, there are no two kings in the country, don't say anything from the priest that the two countries have signed a letter of state, the two countries are at war, and the war is clear, the war is planned, and the soldiers are all reasonable, I know that the priest is chivalrous, but after all, the priest is the important minister of the country, not the man of the rivers and lakes, or should be less Jianghu and more planning for the community." ”

Meng Yuan lowered his head and responded, "Lord Chu is right. ”

The Spirit Emperor asked, "What is Chu Aiqing's opinion?" ”

Chu Huaizhong replied: "Back to the emperor, the minister thinks that it is not appropriate to move lightly at this time, let alone speculate, or to wait for the times to change." ”

Linghuang said: "Wait for the result of the change of time, that is, the spirit country has it, and the Ze country will also have it, since Gu Du defected to the Ze country, in just ten years, the Ze country has become strong rapidly, if it still goes hand in hand, the spirit country is afraid that it will be difficult to turn over." ”

Shangguan Mingfeng said: "Your Majesty, the minister also thought about intercepting and killing at sea, but it was not easy, not to mention that the two countries are far away and the sea area is wide, so it is difficult to determine the time and route of the interception. ”

The Spirit Emperor glanced at Zhong Chenghou, who was meditating with his eyes closed, with an unhappy expression.

Shangguan Mingfeng said again: "I received a rumor yesterday that a few days ago, Dongfang Bin personally led more than 30 people to Lingbo County, presumably Gu Du summoned him to discuss the matter of the envoy. ”

The Spirit Emperor was silent for a long time and said, "I'm tired, you can retreat." ”

The three of them replied together: "The minister retires." ”

After the three of them left, the Spirit Emperor looked at Zhong Chenghou and said, "Elder Zhong, do you think the Spirit Kingdom can still win?" ”

Zhong Chenghou closed his eyes and replied: "The grass people dare not speak falsely about military affairs. ”

The Spirit Emperor said: "If the Spirit Kingdom dies in my hands, you will win when you are old, and you will meet the first emperor underground in the future, and you can ridicule the first emperor for not knowing people." ”

Zhong Chenghou opened his eyes, looked at the Spirit Emperor and replied: "The grass people think that if they fight, they will not win, and if they don't fight, they will win." ”

The Spirit Emperor asked, "Chu Qin can't beat Gu Du?" ”

Zhong Chenghou replied: "Chu Qin is a genius, and Gu Du is the will of heaven, and it is not the same day. ”

The Spirit Emperor frowned slightly, pondered for a long time before asking, "What do you mean is that Gu Du had the opportunity to advance to the pinnacle because he defected to Zeguo?" ”

Zhong Chenghou replied: "The emperor finally understands, what the emperor has been thinking about is nothing more than Jin Lan's tragic death because of the emperor's suspicion, Gu Du will never give up, in fact, he does not complain about the emperor, it is difficult to disobey the will of heaven, and it is always better to follow the trend than to sail against the current." ”

The Spirit Emperor asked, "What you always said about following the trend is that you can't move Gu Du, right?" ”

"Yes." Zhong Chenghou replied calmly and closed his eyes again.
