Li Lei finished speaking triumphantly, and then knelt down in the hall, waiting for Chu Xiuran's opinion.

However, Chu Xiuran didn't speak for a long time, but sat quietly on the dragon chair, looking at the ministers below.

After a while, he said quietly:

"Do you have any other suggestions?"

Chu Xiuran opened his mouth and did not directly respond to Li Lei's words, but asked for the opinions of others.

This made the ministers in the hall couldn't help but talk to each other for a while, whispering softly, and being a little uncertain about Chu Xiuran's thoughts.

In the past, the emperor has always obeyed Li Lei's words, and it is useless for anyone to advise, and he has never listened to the advice of other ministers, but today, the emperor is unusual, and takes the initiative to ask the opinions of other ministers.

Isn't it...... This Li Lei's good days are coming to an end?

Everyone speculated in their hearts that the things in this court have always been changing rapidly, and if you are favored today, you will ascend to the sky in one step, one person below ten thousand people.

If you offend the king because of a trivial matter, he will immediately order him to be killed, the so-called companion of the king is like a tiger, accompanied by the king's side, and you must be careful with your words and deeds at all times.

And Li Lei, since the new emperor ascended the throne, has been reused by him, and his mind has also swelled a lot.

In front of the emperor, he was flattering and flattering, and won the emperor's favor, but in front of other ministers, he was arrogant and disdainful of others, and even the prime minister was not in his eyes.

On a few occasions, he openly confronted Cheng above the court, which made Xiao Cheng very dissatisfied with him.

Xiao Qian is the prime minister above 10,000 people under one person, and he should be admired by the ministers, besides, even if he puts aside his identity as prime minister, he is still the queen's father and the emperor's father-in-law.

No matter what level of identity it is, whether the ministers in the court want to or not, they have to give three points to him, but this Li Lei is just a person who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, a small Sikong, who has won the emperor's favor for a while, and he has been working with Xiao Cheng in the court three times and twice, and Prime Minister Xiao Cheng has long been very unhappy with him.

"Your Majesty, Lord Li's words, the ministers dare not agree."

Prime Minister Xiao Cheng moved from the crowd to the center of the hall and said respectfully to Chu Xiuran.

Usually at this time, it is when Prime Minister Xiao Cheng comes forward, so when Chu Xiuran asks that sentence, everyone else will remain silent, although everyone understands in their hearts that Li Leiti's suggestion will not work at all.

But Li Lei is now in the spring breeze when he is proud, and no one wants to touch his moldy head at this time, and it will be troublesome if he accidentally causes trouble at that time.

But Prime Minister Xiao Cheng is different, Prime Minister Xiao Cheng is a real high position in the court, and Li Lei has always been just a favored commonplace, so in this case, it is most appropriate for Prime Minister Xiao Cheng to come forward against Li Lei.

"Oh? What is the prime minister's opinion? ”

Chu Xiuran sat on the dragon chair, looked at Prime Minister Xiao Cheng for a long time, and asked.

"The minister thinks it is inappropriate to send General Wen Jingwen to suppress the barbarians of South Vietnam."

Prime Minister Xiao Cheng said righteously: "First, General Wen is nearly sixty years old, and he is too old to fight anymore, and second, General Wen has been guarding Xishu for many years, and the soldiers of Nanyue are taller and more ferocious than Xishu, I am afraid that General Wen will be difficult to suppress, and the third is ......"

When Prime Minister Xiao Cheng said this, he paused, and then continued: "General Qi Qinqi, who guarded South Vietnam, was originally a subordinate of His Royal Highness King Han, and I am afraid that I will rashly send General Wen over and will not be able to mobilize those soldiers. ”

Prime Minister Xiao carefully said this last point, and then waited for Chu Xiu to make a decision.

However, when Prime Minister Xiao Cheng's words fell, Chu Xiuran had not yet spoken, but Li Lei on the side was the first to speak.

I saw Li Lei sneering lightly, and said with great disdain: "The prime minister's words are wrong, when the time comes, General Wen will be sent to South Vietnam, and the emperor will give another order, are you still afraid that you won't be able to mobilize those soldiers?" ”

Li Lei's remarks can be said to be extremely wonderful, which is simply forcing Prime Minister Xiao Cheng to admit that it is reasonable to send General Wen to go.

If Prime Minister Xiao Cheng denies it, it means that he thinks that Chu Xiuran is not capable of mobilizing those soldiers at the border, isn't this embarrassing Chu Xiuran in public?

Everyone thought that Prime Minister Xiao Cheng would stop and remain silent, but Prime Minister Xiao Cheng spoke unhurriedly.

"Lord Li, you don't understand those soldiers at the border at all, in their hearts, His Royal Highness King Han once fought with them on the battlefield and killed the enemy together, they are all flesh-and-blood iron-blooded men, they are willing to submit to His Royal Highness King Han's command, in their hearts, nothing is better than their companions who have experienced life and death together, if they rashly send General Wen over, if those soldiers refuse to obey General Wen's dispatch, once something goes wrong, this is a major matter related to the survival of the country, When the time comes, will you be able to afford this responsibility, Lord Li? ”

In the face of national affairs, Prime Minister Xiao Cheng will not give in at all, he only knows that if Chu Xiuran adopts Li Lei's suggestion, it will be tantamount to pushing the entire Chu State to the blade of death, and he will never allow Li Lei to do nonsense in this matter.

"Prime Minister Xiao, you said that I don't understand those soldiers at the border, do you understand? At that time, as long as the emperor sends a holy decree, if they dare not obey the arrangement, it will be disrespectful to the decree, and it is a capital crime to resist the decree. ”

Li Lei's eyes were full of ridicule, and he didn't take Prime Minister Xiao's words into account at all, he insisted that what he said was right.

Who knows, Prime Minister Xiao Cheng just smiled contemptuously when he heard this, and looked at Li Lei with a little more contempt in his eyes.

"Capital offense?" Prime Minister Xiao Cheng sneered and said: "Do you know that those soldiers at the border pass all crawled out of the pile of dead people, what kind of life and death they haven't experienced, do you think that convicting them of a capital crime can really bluff them?" ”

"You...... If you are strong, I don't believe that those minions at the border can be so bold as to disobey the holy order......"

Li Lei was anxious, obviously speechless by Prime Minister Xiao's words, he didn't know how to refute it, and even began to be a little speechless when he spoke.

However, Prime Minister Xiao just glanced at Li Lei, and disdained Li Lei at all.

"Then who does the prime minister think is more appropriate to send to South Vietnam?"

Just as the battle between the two was getting more and more intense, Chu Xiuran suddenly asked.

"The minister doesn't know who to send to the more appropriate, the minister only knows that the reason why Nanyue has been divided for a few years is because he was scared by His Royal Highness King Han before, so he didn't dare to come nonsense, and those soldiers who guarded the border passes of South Vietnam are also the old subordinates of His Royal Highness King Han, and they must be more willing to obey His Royal Highness King Han."

Prime Minister Xiao Cheng said neither humbly nor arrogantly, although he said that he didn't know who to send to it, but what he said was all admiring Chu Xiuhan.
