302 Main Battle and Main Draw (2)
Zhou Qing also nodded approvingly: "Pavilion elders, I think what Lin Xiang said is not wrong at all, it is difficult for the treasury to come up with enough silver taels to support the war at the moment. What's more, in the end, this battle will have to send a commander. "It's enough to talk about it, the Chang Sheng generals back then were not all driven out of the capital by these old ministers, how can they lick their faces and invite him back?
The corners of Zhou Qingshu's mouth slightly swayed a subtle smile, flashed, and then said, "Brother Huang, I think your words are wrong." It is difficult for the treasury to come up with enough silver taels to support the war, which does not mean that the country of Da Yue has no money. We can completely raise donations from the people, and there are rich places such as Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and there is no shortage of silver taels at all. I believe that as long as the Great Yue Kingdom is united, it will definitely be able to defeat the Yueli Kingdom and teach them a painful lesson.
Do you still have to worry about not being able to recover this money in the future? Besides, how can there be no generals who are in command of the expedition, if the imperial brother and the elders of the cabinet are embarrassed, the palace can ask Ying, and must find a victorious general who has galloped on the battlefield for many years, and guarantee to defeat the Yueli Kingdom and flee, and see that they dare to invade the Dayue Kingdom in the future. ”
If they don't teach Yueli Kingdom a lesson, let them remember that Da Yue Guo cannot be violated, otherwise they will fuel their arrogance, and they will make them unscrupulous, thinking that Da Yue Guo is afraid of them, so that the loss is not just as simple as two cities. Maybe they can conquer the capital and make the entire Dayue country panic and shattered. By that time, it would be too late to concentrate the country's forces to deal with Yueli Kingdom.
First of all, the people did not have the determination to win, and Zhou Qingshu was not alarmist. When Pingbohou heard this, he nodded and agreed: "What the second prince said is not wrong at all, it must not contribute to the arrogance of the Yueli Kingdom, if they are allowed to continue to run rampant." What will be lost is not only the two cities of Mandu and Lanjun, but more cities. I don't believe that the Yueli Congress invaded for no reason, for so many years, everyone has always kept the well water from the river.
Their move must have a deep meaning behind it. Lin Xiangqi deliberately glared at Ping Bohou, where did he have the right to speak. He had thought about it behind closed doors in the house because of his family ugliness, but now as soon as he came here, he went against them and supported the second prince in the main battle! The second prince is not the eldest son, and the possibility of winning the throne in the future is very small, he doesn't believe that Ping Bohou can't see it, but he is still facing the second prince, the second son, against the eldest prince.
If the eldest prince succeeds to the throne in the future, he will definitely remember the opposition of Pingbohou today. Lin Xiangqi scolded Ping Bohou fiercely in his heart, stupid. As everyone knows, Ping Bohou is also scolding Lin Xiangqi, as well as the elders who oppose the main battle, if they continue to let the Yueli Kingdom invade, I don't know how many cities they will lose. If you don't stop them now, wait when.
In the end, of course, there was no final result today, and everyone broke up unhappily, agreeing to continue to discuss with the cabinet after the next day. Chang Mingsheng stroked his beard, thinking about everything that happened in the cabinet today, the eldest prince and several cabinet elders insisted on peace, and there was no need to make a big move to solve this matter. How dare the Yueli Kingdom dare to use all the strength of the whole country to compete with the Great Yue Kingdom, this is true.
The Yueli State has bowed down to the Dayue State for so many years, not to mention paying tribute every year, and in the border trade, it is often bullied by the merchants of the Dayue State. He had heard all of this, and he had mentioned it heavily in the eight-hundred-mile rush that had just been sent from Pyeongchang. This time, the reason why the Yueli Kingdom invaded Pyeongchang and captured the two cities of Xiamandu and Lanjun was also a rebellion against this.
Who made them have a low status in the mutual market. It is inevitable that I will be dissatisfied and want to win some power. Obviously, Chang Shoufu is more inclined to settle this matter in a peaceful way, but he didn't expect Ping Bohou to insist on the main battle so much, but there is a second prince behind him to support him. The eldest prince can't suppress the second prince, and the emperor's attitude towards the two princes is unclear at the moment, and no one is sure which prince will inherit the throne in the future?
So it made Chang Mingsheng have an abnormal headache, and at the same time, the two princes couldn't be offended, and at the same time, they wanted the two princes to stutter, which made him bend in disbelief and hit the table directly. Zhou Qingyou just came out of Wu Guowei's house, and now Wu Guowei is slowly coming back to his senses, he must not lose Zhou Qingyou's liking for him, otherwise he is afraid that he will not even be able to stay in the Great Prince's Mansion, and he will have to leave the capital, he is unwilling.
Pingbohou was ruthless enough, he didn't even recognize his own son, drove him out of Pingbohou's mansion, and removed him from the family tree. The whole capital knew about it, and he didn't have the face to step out of the Great Prince's Mansion at all. At present, he can only hold on to the big tree of Zhou Qingyou tightly, waiting for the future when the eldest prince succeeds to the throne, he will definitely repay the humiliation he suffered today to Pingbohou.
Zhou Qingyou also heard about Yueli Kingdom's invasion of Dayue Kingdom, and thought that this matter had nothing to do with her. This should be decided by the courtiers, and she doesn't have to follow the girl's family. But Wu Guowei told her just now, when she felt that this matter had a very important relationship with her, she must not sit idly by, let alone treat it as if it didn't happen.
Zhou Qingyi looked at Zhou Qingyou who walked in, shook off the troubled thoughts in his chest, got up and walked to her, helped her to get up, and said, "Sister, when did you use such politeness and such a big gift with the imperial brother?" "Brother Huang, it was my sister who was reckless before, and collided with Brother Huang and Concubine Yin, and when I meet my sister, I will go to make amends to Concubine Yin." A trace of displeasure flashed in Zhou Qingyou's eyes, and she couldn't like it when she mentioned Concubine Yin.
It's just that Concubine Yin has been favored by Zhou Qingyi in every way, if she often blows the pillow wind in Zhou Qingyi's ears, I believe it won't be long before her life in the Great Prince's Mansion will be difficult.
"Sister, you don't have to excuse her, she's just a side concubine, you're my own sister. If the queen mother had knowledge, she would not have agreed. You, don't think about anything, stay in the house with peace of mind, if you need anything, just tell the housekeeper. While speaking, Zhou Qingyi gently stroked her hair, Zhou Qingyu heard this, raised his head and smiled.
"Brother Huang, I know that only you are the best for me, unlike the second brother of the emperor, whether I live or die, forget it, don't mention it. But Brother Huang, I can't think about nothing, now that the Yueli Kingdom invaded the Great Yue Kingdom and took away the two cities, it has long caused panic in the hearts of the people, what are you going to do next? Her straight eyes made Zhou Qingyi couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Sister, I didn't expect you to care about national affairs." ”
It really impressed him, but he really didn't believe it, and he was sure what Wu Guowei said in front of her. When Zhou Qingyou heard this, he raised his lips and said: "Brother Huang, you can't help but underestimate me, the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, although I am a girl's family, but I am also a citizen of the Dayue Kingdom, is it wrong to care about state affairs?" Zhou Qingyi hurriedly made amends to her and pulled her to the side to sit.
told her about some of the things that happened in the cabinet today, Zhou Qingyou didn't expect that the second prince would not only oppose the idea of the eldest prince's lordship and peace, but also find a victorious general who had been galloping on the battlefield for many years. Sure enough, she was guessed by Wu Guowei, Zhou Qingyou was very happy at this time, she listened to Wu Guowei's words, went on this trip, and got so much useful care.
Zhou Qingyou waited until he finished speaking, and then slowly spoke: "Brother Huang, in fact, I don't think we should stand on the same front as the second prince, and resolutely advocate using war to solve this matter, and teach a hard lesson to the Yueli Kingdom, and not encourage their arrogance." "The Yueli Kingdom, which has been paying tribute to the Great Yue Country for many years, dares to invade them, if you don't give them a little bit of power, I think that the Great Yue Kingdom is afraid of the Yueli Kingdom.
Zhou Qingyi's eyes flashed slightly, and he didn't come to his senses, he was able to say these words from her mouth, he needed to think about it carefully. "Brother Emperor, don't think about anything else, nothing else is a problem. Do you know why the two emperor brothers are bent on the main battle? Zhou Qingyou calmly looked at Zhou Qingyi's suspicious eyes, "Sister, you say that, can you guess his thoughts?" ”
"Brother the Great Emperor, Brother Second Emperor's move is first to buy people's hearts, and now everyone is terrified, if they go to war, they can not only extinguish the arrogance of the Yueli Kingdom, but also help the national prestige of the Yue Kingdom. Secondly, it can also establish the prestige of the second prince among the people. Brother Emperor, don't tell me, you don't want to fight for the throne. Even if you don't want to compete for the throne, do you think that one day in the future, if the second emperor brother ascends to the throne, he will let you go?
What about a brother of a mother's sibling, I am the best example. The second emperor brother doesn't even care about me for the sake of power now, do you think you can let him inherit the throne? Brother Emperor, I don't know what my father thinks, but I will definitely stand on your side and support you! You are the eldest son of your father and mother, and you should inherit the throne, and you must not let the second emperor brother succeed.
If the second emperor brother can really find a general who has galloped on the battlefield for many years to fight, and return to the dynasty victoriously in the future, this general will definitely accept the reward of his father. He will definitely be grateful to the second emperor brother and become a help for him to seize the throne in the future. Zhou Qingyou's black and white eyes burst out with a blazing luster, shining and full of expectations. Zhou Qingyi was a little upset by what she said at the moment, and he hadn't figured out why Zhou Qingshu insisted on the main battle during the day.
There is only one person who supports him, Chang Shoufu and so many elders are on his side, and he is still scolding Ping Bohou in his heart, and he is not interested. At the moment, it seems that it is not so simple, the inside information contained in it is too important, if it weren't for Zhou Qingyu's advice, he would probably not have thought of it. If it were someone else, even if he knew, he wouldn't dare to tell him.
When he arrived at the cabinet the next day, Zhou Qingyi's attitude changed, which made Chang Shoufu a little confused. At present, the two princes are in favor of fighting against the Yueli Kingdom, and if he opposes it, I am afraid it will not be justified. At the beginning, he took the initiative to invite the two princes, and now they both have the same opinion, if he continues to oppose it, he will not be able to keep it even, and which prince will hate him in the future. Pulling him down from the position of the first assistant, Chang Mingsheng also changed the direction of the wind this time.
Zhou Qingshu frowned, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, why did Zhou Qingyi become like him, what was going on? Didn't you swear that you couldn't go to war yesterday, Zhou Qingshu asked angrily: "Brother Emperor, you didn't say that yesterday." ”
"Brother Huang, who stipulated that I can't change my mind, after I go back, I thought about it for a long time, and I definitely can't bear it!" The firmness in Zhou Qingyi's eyes made Chang Mingsheng involuntarily echo: "The old man has also thought about it for a long time, and it is true that he can't let Yueli Kingdom go on so rampantly. "The other pavilion elders who were originally determined to be peaceful now don't dare to squeak.
If they continue to oppose it, they will be embarrassed by the two princes and Chang Shoufu, and they will have a hard time in the future. If they were wise, they should keep their mouths shut. The next thing is to discuss which general will fight, which is another topic that is difficult to unify, and in the end it is still unhappy. After Zhou Qingyou's reminder, Zhou Qing also discussed with his staff to promote his cronies to fight.
Zhou Qingyi also has to send cronies, otherwise the credit for the future will fall on Zhou Qingyi's head. Let him get the emperor's praise, not to mention, but also get such a powerful boost. Wu Guowei was desperate to find Lin Dongxian, but he searched for Zhou Qingyou for several days, but he still didn't have his whereabouts. Zhou Qingyou walked in with the decoction and said kindly: "Come, drink the medicine quickly." ”
Zhou Qingyou was still uneasy, thinking that Wu Guowei would lose his temper, but he didn't expect him to show a bright smile to her, and said thank you. It wasn't loud, but she could hear it clearly. Zhou Qingyou then began to tell him everything that happened in the court, and when he heard that the cabinet and Lin Xiangqi had not yet decided who to let fight, Wu Guowei suddenly had a thought in his mind, and stood up abruptly and said, "Princess, can you do me a favor?" ”
Zhou Qingyou subconsciously replied: "You say." "Whoever made her have no resistance to Wu Guowei, as long as he is not angry, she is willing to do anything. Of course, Lin Dongxian, who was raising a baby in the inn, also heard the rumors outside, the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, and under the nest, there are no eggs. If the Great Yue Kingdom ceased to exist, she and the child in her womb would not have a stable life.
So she is always inquiring about the movements of the DPRK, if she is still in Qingping Town, she may not know this. Now that she was born in the capital and can't leave, she must care about these things. Now because the two princes of the DPRK and China are in favor of sending troops to the Yueli Kingdom, the call for the main battle is getting louder and louder. The ministers of the Lord and the faction kept silent, they didn't want to become the sinners of the Great Yue Kingdom through the ages.
Today in the court, the emperor asked about the Yueli Kingdom, Chang Shoufu took a few steps forward and told the emperor that they were going to send troops. Only in this way can Yueli continue to submit to the Great Yue Kingdom, after he finished speaking, he glanced at the emperor quickly, and found that the emperor's face was as usual, and he slowly put his mind at ease. Then the emperor asked who to send troops, and Chang Shoufu couldn't answer for a while.
It's not that he really doesn't have a candidate in his heart, but the two princes haven't decided on this candidate yet. If the person he chooses is not the one they are satisfied with, they will definitely incur their resentment. Besides, he felt that the reason why the eldest prince changed his mind must be that someone behind him must be pointing him out.
