All the ministers were silent. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info they can be dissatisfied, but they can't deceive themselves. For so many years, Changyi City has relied on weapons and a god of war, Guo Xi. Now the weapons are still strong, provided that the gunpowder of Dragon City does not need to be used in war. But the god of war is really gone.

Dongfang Xu took advantage of the silence of the ministers and said: "It's not that this king doesn't want to seek more benefits for Changyi City, but it's better to lose a grain city than to lose a city-state!" The Dragon Monarch promised the king that as long as Changyi City no longer had such thoughts and accompanied a grain city as compensation, he would persuade the city-states that were friendly with Longcheng not to target Changyi City again. ”

"At that time, the emperor was drugged and placed under house arrest by Prince Jue, and he knew about the existence of the Nine Princes by chance, so he took great pains to meet the Nine Princes." Father-in-law Pan stood up at this time and said: "The emperor asked the ninth prince to go to Yuncheng to see Princess Anping, and he didn't tell the ninth prince what the emperor and Prince Jue had done to hurt Princess Anping before. only told him that as long as it didn't endanger the survival of the entire Changyi City, he could make decisions about everything. In the heart of the old slave, in the face of such a predicament, the fact that the Nine Princes were able to meet Princess Anping and Lord Xiao showed that he had good abilities. ”

Pan's words dispelled some of the ministers' doubts. In their hearts, they were reluctant to give up a grain city to fall into the hands of Longcheng like this, but if they were them, they might not have the courage and ability to meet and meet Princess Anping and Xiao Chengyi under such circumstances.

"And what about the other city-states?"

"Lord Chen is talking about some city-states in the north, right? Yesterday's banquet Bachelor Liao's words made the king feel that he knew more about the customs of the northern city-states, so the king wanted to let him go to some city-states in the north as an envoy after Mu Xiu. Dongfang Xu took the opportunity to push Liao Haoyu out.

Feeling the many eyes, Liao Haoyu said: "Weichen must live up to the emperor's trust and do his best to persuade those city-states in the north to coexist peacefully with Changyi City forever!"

Liao Haoyu and the ministers in the morning believed that Dongfang Xu was their future monarch. But in order not to attract whether, he still didn't dare to show it too obviously. The trust of the prince who originally wanted to talk about it has also become entrusted by the emperor.

Dongfang Xu said: "This king thanked Master Liao for his father's dedication to the city and country!" It's time to fulfill yesterday's promise. Father-in-law Pan, my father is like this, and you can only replace your father to go to Liao's Mansion to announce the decree and give gifts! ”

"Yes." Father-in-law Pan, who had been discussed in advance, readily agreed.

After talking about foreign affairs, Dongfang Xu said: "The adults are so reluctant to give up on the twilight, I don't know what you think about Liang Cheng?"

The ministers were silent again. It's not because they want to abandon Liangcheng, but the ministers who are familiar with Liangcheng know that it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to deal with the floods in Liangcheng. Before getting the exact news that other city-states would not embarrass Changyi City, how could they dare to express their opinions lightly.

After not getting a response from the minister for a long time, Dongfang Xu said: "Do you adults have no ideas or do you want Liang Cheng to fend for himself?"

The ministers looked at the people around them for a while, and muttered to each other, but it was Lord Chen who stood up and said, "There is no one who doesn't want their city and country to be strong. But to get Liang Cheng back to the way it was before, it will take a lot of time and energy, and more importantly, manpower, material resources, and even silver. The ministers also knew that in the long run, the sooner they dealt with the floods in Liangcheng, the better it would be for Changyi City, but in the current situation, can Changyi City really focus on Liangcheng? ”

Dongfang Xu said: "This king knows that this king's words cannot convince your lords, so I won't let you put the soldiers of the city country in the affairs of Liangcheng." But the Guards can always take a part, right? ”

If you really want to be serious, the ability and strength of the Royal Forest Army are no worse than any other army. But not a single city council used the Imperial Guards for matters related to the royal people.

Master Chen hesitated, "Is this appropriate?"

Dongfang Xu said: "Why is it inappropriate?"

Master Chen thought that Dongfang Xu didn't grow up in the palace, so he didn't know the meaning of the existence of the Imperial Forest Army: "The matter of Liangcheng is not a trivial matter, but after all, it is not a matter related to the royal family."

Dongfang Xu said: "Which one of the things in Changyi City has nothing to do with Dongfang Clan?" The Dragon Monarch can bring the Imperial Forest Army of Dragon City to control the flood, why can't Changyi City? ”

"What do you mean by the Nine Princes, you are going to Liangcheng in person?" Master Chen once again misunderstood what Dongfang Xu meant.

Dongfang Xu said: "If my father can wake up in the next few days, or if someone in the imperial city is taken care of, this king doesn't mind taking the Imperial Forest Army to Liangcheng."

No one agreed with what Dongfang Xu said, and they couldn't find a suitable reason to refute it. The main hall fell silent again. Even the open-minded Concubine Jin fell into deep thought. Although she is not deserving of straightforwardness in some things, she is a real ancient, and she has been instilled with women's precepts, ethics and morals since she was a child, so she still has some scruples about things that are beyond the scope of her acceptance.

When Dongfang Xu and the others frowned slightly, a voice finally sounded: "If the Nine Princes can trust Weichen, Weichen is willing to take the Imperial Forest Army to Liangcheng!"

Dongfang Xu didn't expect that the first person to defend himself was Cheng Jianhui. He still has the right to speak for other people, but even if Cheng Jianhui has a bad relationship with them, it is difficult to guarantee that others have other ideas: "I believe that none of the adults here do not think that this king believes in the general, so this question should be asked to all the adults here!"

What Cheng Jianhui said was exactly what Dongfang Xu wanted. As Dongfang Xu thought, if he made a decision directly without considering the ministers, they would definitely find some reason to refute it. Now that Dongfang Xu has put the decision in their hands, he really doesn't know whether to agree or stick to his own opinion.

Liao Haoyu said: "Although the weather has been sunny recently, it can be regarded as cold. All the water sources in Kyoto except for the well were frozen, so Wechen wondered if the water in Liangcheng was also frozen? ”

Master Chen's eyes lit up and said, "What Master Liao said makes sense, don't say it's a human being on such a day, even horses and carriages can't pass." Even if all difficulties are eliminated, General Cheng took the Imperial Forest Army to Liangcheng, how could he pry out such a thick block of ice? ”

Judging from the attitude of Lord Chen and many ministers just now, if he sits on the top in the future, Dongfang Xu feels that the problems he will encounter in the future will not be ordinary.

Now that he has decided, Dongfang Xu feels that he really can't be as gentle as before, otherwise he will be able to stand it in the future.

"It seems that all of you adults don't agree with this king at all! It just so happens that this king doesn't want to take on such a big mess. ”

Although the ministers didn't know Dongfang Xu, they still heard about the matter of the prince of Cheng Mansion. The Cheng Gongzi in front of him is not as easy to talk as they have heard! No king wants to be subject to any courtier, and the same courtier does not want their king to be arbitrary, even though he has the right to do so. (To be continued.) )
