"Report! Your Majesty, the garrison of the Northern Liang Kingdom is 300,000 guarding the frontier! ”

When Emperor Wei heard the news below, he couldn't help frowning, the two countries have always been very friendly, why is it that they are now provoking war for no reason? Emperor Wei was not a belligerent person, nor was he a mediocre and incompetent person, and Emperor Wei wanted to understand what the reason behind this was more than having a bad relationship with Bei Liang.

"What do you think?" Emperor Wei sat on top of the high hall, one hand banging on the tabletop, and the sound of "dong dong dong" made it impossible for everyone to guess what Emperor Wei was thinking.

"I think that Bei Liang will definitely not make trouble for no reason, there must be a reason behind it." A minister stood up and looked at Emperor Wei with a look of firmness.

What this minister said hit Emperor Wei's heart directly, "What is Aiqing's insight?" ”

The minister was also a little happy to see that one of his own things was heard by Emperor Wei, "Since our purpose is to find out the reason for Bei Liang's move, it is better to send an envoy over to check the situation, and if there is really a war, we can discuss it in advance." ”

"Aiqing is reasonable, then the choice of the messenger will be decided by Aiqing." The minister knew his mind very well, and hoped that everything would go well. Recently, it seemed that there were a lot of things, and Emperor Wei nodded and retreated.

However, things were unexpected by Emperor Wei, and the envoy sent was only seven days old, and he directly returned the body of the envoy. Emperor Wei was furious above the court, and threw down the letter, "Okay, he is the king of Beiliang, the two soldiers will not fight each other, not to mention that there is no war now, what does this mean." ”

The ministers below were trembling on their knees, and did not dare to say a word. Emperor Wei looked at the ministers below condescendingly, "Why are you all dumb!" Now that our country's national prestige has been provoked, and you, as our country's humerus minister, are now not saying a word, don't you feel ashamed! Emperor Wei's voice was three points stern, and his eyes were extremely sharp when he looked at the ministers.

"Last time you said that there must be a reason for Bei Liang's move, and now you have the face to directly kill the envoys sent by our country." As he spoke, Emperor Wei threw another letter into the face of the minister who had proposed to send an envoy last time.

The situation above the court suddenly became very serious, and everyone was in danger and did not dare to say another word. And the minister had already knelt down directly at this time, without saying a word, kowtowing vigorously.

Emperor Wei had already breathed a sigh of relief in his heart at this time, and when he calmed down, he felt more and more that this matter was tricky, "Okay, okay, don't knock, no matter how much you knock, you can't get back the life of that messenger." Emperor Wei glanced at the minister deeply, "You have also seen the current situation, what do you think?" ”

At this time, a minister stood up tremblingly, obviously his hair was gray, but his voice was extraordinarily loud, "The minister thinks that we have only seen the body of the envoy now, but we can't directly say that Bei Liang did this." We still need to investigate before we can make a final decision on this matter. ”

This reminded Emperor Wei that Emperor Wei originally wanted to attack Bei Liang directly about the envoy, but if Bei Liang didn't know anything about it, and started a war in advance before the matter was clear, it would make the relationship between the two countries worse. Emperor Wei didn't speak, nodded, and sent a servant down to check on the envoy's injuries.

Judging by the injuries on the messenger's body, it has been further confirmed that the messenger's death was caused by the Beiliang people. Emperor Wei's heart was stunned and couldn't get out, they wanted to solve the matter well, but the other party deceived people too much, and even openly provoked, either not sending troops or afraid of them.

As soon as the results of the work came out, Emperor Wei called a few ministers to the study, "You all know the results of the autopsy, and today I want you to give me a solution." ”

"Bei Liang provokes my Great Wei like this, my Great Wei must fight them and retreat, let them see the demeanor of Great Wei." A general stood up, he was the most disgusted with Bei Liang's actions, and he had long wanted to fight them, but Emperor Wei had always advocated recuperation and couldn't find a chance.

"Never, Your Majesty!" An older minister stood up, with a bit of sincerity in his words, "Although Beiliang was the first to provoke, but now we are short of food and the treasury is not abundant, and even our army, the number of conscripts is declining year by year, I'm afraid we will suffer a loss if we fight that Beiliang!" ”

"My lord, what you said doesn't make sense." As soon as the general heard the old minister say this, he became unconvinced, "There are countless battles in history where we have won more with less, not to mention that we haven't fought yet, how do you know that we will lose?" ”

Seeing that Emperor Wei had been listening silently, the old minister already knew Emperor Wei's thoughts in his heart, so he didn't dare to say anything more about refusing to fight, "Since you have to fight, how to solve the problem of soldier rations and soldiers?" "Lao Chen hopes that Emperor Wei can focus on the people's livelihood and not add too much pressure to the people, because war is not a good thing for the people.

When the general heard that the old minister had taken a step back, he said with great interest: "We can collect more taxes and use them as soldiers' rations." After all, this is a glorious event to contribute to the country, and I believe they will be willing. ”

Emperor Wei nodded silently, "The general is reasonable, everything should be done according to what the general said." ”

The old minister still wanted to say something, Emperor Wei looked over, his deep eyes made the old minister's heart frightened, and some cold sweat broke out on his back, he wanted to say something for the people at any time, but Emperor Wei had already made up his mind in his heart that he could not change. The old minister closed his mouth appropriately, lowered his head and stopped talking.

"This time the battle with Beiliang will be led by you, and the household department will fully cooperate with your mobilization, and you must stop coming from Beiliang, so that they can know how powerful our Great Wei is." Emperor Wei pointed at the general, and his heart to fight Beiliang became even more firm. Bei Liang is so arrogant, then he is not to blame Da Wei.

"The minister will definitely return triumphantly." The general's heart was faintly excited, and then he finally had the opportunity to make a contribution, he thought that Emperor Wei would recuperate for a while, at least there would be no war during this time, who would have thought that Bei Liang didn't know what to call the door, the corner of the general's mouth hooked up a smile, and looked at the old minister next to him proudly.

The old minister sighed deeply in his heart, didn't say anything more, and still silently pitied those people in his heart.
