Since Han Cha has withdrawn his hand, Lin Ge Lao naturally will not insist, Fang Yinzhi is also an expert in judging the situation, and immediately restraining the people on his side, but his prestige is still a little worse, some people are not greedy enough after getting profits, they are not very obedient in secret, and they still want to make trouble, Fang Yinzhi saw the signs, and without saying a word, he stabbed Gu Fengxun with this matter, and then the person who wanted to make trouble was kicked out of his own list by Gu Fengxun, and soon, even the vacancy that the person filled was eliminated by Fang Yinzhi's means.

At this moment, both Gu Fengxun's authority and Fang Yinzhi's deterrence have been greatly improved, and the forces formed at the beginning have suddenly become more cohesive, no longer as before, just a simple aggregation of interests.

In any case, Fang Yin was in harmony, the situation in the court was greatly beneficial to Ling Han, and the courtiers below restrained each other, and he, the emperor, naturally had more weight in his right to speak, even if he was no longer willful and arbitrary, he also had a tendency to speak his mind, and when discussing court affairs, few courtiers dared to refute his opinions.

As a result, when the proposal to reconcile with Qin appeared in the court again, and was rejected by Ling Han, almost no courtier fought with the emperor to the end.

As for why the courtiers would mention the matter of reconciliation with Qin again, it had a lot to do with Fang Yinzhi. As soon as he entered the office, he entered the Hongwen Pavilion, of course, it could not be a meritorious official, Ling Han would not break the rules even if he opened the door of convenience. As for Fang Yinzhi's credit, it was that he brought a lot of information related to the Qin and Wu wars, and in order to obtain this information, he also took a big risk, and was almost washed away by the flood.

As soon as this information arrived in Ling Han's hands, it was sent to Zheng Hou, Zheng Hou did not dare to slack off, and the staff members in the army studied it for ten whole days, and came to the conclusion that Wu Guo was afraid of losing.

The result was quite unexpected.

In fact, since the beginning of the Qin-Wu war, Western Chu has been collecting battlefield intelligence, but Western Chu and Wu are far away, and the spies sent out, from Chu State, have to face the roadblock of Chu State's West Zhenfu Division, and it is really a difficult challenge to go to Wu State alive and bring back intelligence alive, so far, there is no successful example. However, it is quite safe to detour by sea from Yue to Wu, but it takes too long, and the intelligence brought back is too lagging behind and of little significance. The last way is to go from the Qin State, but the Thousand Scales Guard is not a fuel-efficient lamp, although it can send back some information, but the accuracy will be greatly discounted.

The information that Fang Yinzhi brought back was not only detailed and accurate, but also had his own analysis, and the lag was not very serious, which was undoubtedly a timely rain for Xi Chu.

It's just that the war between Qin and Wu has been stalemate for a long time, although the incident of Emperor Wu destroying the sluice gate and releasing water was criticized by the world, but I have to say that at least purely from a military point of view, it was a ruthless hand, rushing away tens of thousands of cavalry of Qin, resulting in Qin's inability to attack later, making the war enter a stalemate, and also winning a respite for Wu. The mainstream view of the Western Chu military before was that this stalemate would probably last for at least a year or two, and Qin Qiang and Wu Fu each had their own advantages and had to fight.

However, from the analysis of the current intelligence, Wu Guo has shown his declining appearance, and if it lasts for another three months at most, it may be defeated on all fronts. This conclusion was really unexpected, not only the Western Chu military was dumbfounded, but the Western Chu court was even more in an uproar.

Regardless of whether this conclusion is accurate or not, as a courtier, I have to start thinking about what if the Wu State is really defeated on all fronts within three months?

Once the Wu defense line is defeated, the terrain of a horse and a flat river in the territory is destined to stop the impact of the cavalry of the Qin State, and the destruction of the country is only in a blink of an eye, and the Qin State has won the battle, the military prestige has risen by victory, and it has been supplemented by the money and grain of the Wu State, it will definitely not stop the truce, but the fighting spirit will be higher, turn around, is the Qin State going to war with Chu, or against Western Chu?

Western Chu had just fought a battle with the State of Chu, although it was a victory, but the consumption was not small, and it was necessary to prevent the State of Chu from fighting again, and it was absolutely incapable of fighting on both sides, so the courtiers would mention the matter of reconciliation with Qin again.

Although it is repaired, the Qin State may not attack Western Chu, but at least, having a name will be an obstacle, and the Qin Emperor will not be willing to leave a villain image in the history books, even if the Qin State fights, Western Chu can be regarded as a reason. The best result is that Western Chu and Qin join forces to overturn the Chu State first, and then it is time to fight and talk about it, if it is the other way around, if the Qin State and the Chu State join forces, then the Western Chu will be unlucky.

It's just that Ling Han refused, and the courtiers had no choice, so they simply had some time, and maybe there was another way to deal with this crisis. However, some preparations had to be made, for example, a conscription order. In addition, they raised food and wages, made armor, and so on, and prepared for war.

Gu Fengxun's new gold creation drug has finally made great progress, he tried to make a batch, and asked Fan Jiujin to take it to Fengyitai for trial, secret guards are also high-risk trades, not to mention when there is a task, when there is no task, there is also an internal fight, and injuries are commonplace.

The effect of the trial was quite good, Ling Han immediately took the prescription and ordered the Imperial Pharmacy to make a batch of Jinchuang medicine with all its might, and distribute it to the border gate. As a result, before the medicine was delivered, Fan Jiujin sent a secret report, Fengyitai detected the secret pile in the Chu realm, and the Chu emperor was assembling troops again, with the intention of committing a crime.

All of a sudden, the situation in Western Chu became tense again, and the courtiers didn't have the heart to think about it anymore, and someone once again suggested that they should reconcile with Qin, preferably by marrying the Qin royal family. And the courtiers who came out to play were particularly weighty, none other than Tao Huaping, the secretary of Zongzheng Temple.

However, this time, he committed Ling Han's taboo, he didn't give this uncle face at all, and before Tao Huaping finished speaking, Ling Han brushed his sleeves in front of the hall and left all the courtiers in the Chengtian Palace.

Tao Huaping was so embarrassed that he couldn't do it, as Zongzheng Siqing, he couldn't help but care about the inheritance of the royal family's heirs, but the emperor had been on the throne for more than a year, not to mention the queen, even the original Princess Han was sent back to Yuedi, seeing that Princess Han was gone and never looked back, the emperor's harem was still empty, how could he not be in a hurry. This time coincided with the predicament of Xichu again, reconciled with Qin, and by the way, he could also give the emperor a princess of Qin as the queen, which is a good thing for both worlds, as for some vague rumors that the emperor's body was injured when he was a child and could not be humane, Tao Huaping did not believe it, if this is the case, how could Emperor Cheng marry the princess of Yue for Ling Han to be the princess of Han, and even before his death, he has been looking forward to Ling Han being able to open up branches for the royal family of Western Chu.

That's why Tao Huaping suddenly came out this time, and played a book, but Ling Han didn't even give him a chance to finish speaking, so he lost face on the spot, and in addition to being embarrassed, Tao Huaping was also so angry. His good intentions are for whom, not for the peace of Western Chu, for the continuation of the royal family, even if the emperor has more dissatisfaction in his heart, he should not lose his face like this.

Han Cha sighed, waved off the other courtiers, then walked over and patted Tao Huaping on the shoulder, and said: "Tao Siqing, you really don't open a pot, Your Majesty has rejected the advice of Qin Xiu, you just bring up the old matter again, and you want Your Majesty to marry Qin State, how can you not anger Your Majesty." ”

In fact, he didn't approve of reconciling with Qin, but he didn't suppress the courtiers from moving this thought, and at this time, he could just see some people and some things. It's just that Tao Huaping's marriage proposal really stabbed the emperor's heart and lungs, but he just brushed his sleeves in front of the court, and did not directly scold Tao Huaping for blood, which was already the result of the emperor's sufficient restraint.

Tao Huaping is not like Han Cha, he has already guessed a few points about the relationship between Ling Han and Gu Fengxun, and he is still annoyed: "Even if Your Majesty is unwilling to marry with Qin, but the discussion of reconciliation with Qin should not be imprudent, besides, it is not a matter of having no owner in the harem, Your Majesty must come up with an explanation, the princess of Qin is not good, the princess of Yue is not good, Your Majesty doesn't like it, is there no good daughter in Xichu?" ”

Han Cha laughed, shook his head, and said, "You're ......", but there was no follow-up. He is always not good at gossiping about His Majesty, there are some things that a clear-eyed person will not say when he sees it, and a person who can't see clearly is useless even if he runs high. The same hall is a minister, he stayed and said these words to Tao Huaping, it was already a reminder, and he did his best to do the friendship of his colleagues, Tao Huaping didn't understand, and he couldn't do it, and when Tao Huaping ate a few times at the emperor's place, he would probably understand.
