Hearing this, Tang Ling nodded, didn't stop any longer, was supported by the female official, and walked towards the dormitory.

Looking at Tang Ling's back as he walked away, Ian sighed softly, and under the guidance of the female official, he walked towards the outside of the palace.

In the early morning of the next day, Tang Ling told Besa about his request to form an alliance with the Wind Country, and asked the ministers for their opinions.

When Cai Xiao heard this, he immediately stepped out of the ranks and said: "Your Majesty, the country of Besa has always been a great trouble in the north of our country, and now the country of Besa has taken the initiative to form an alliance with our country, which can just eliminate the northern threat of our country, and it will be beneficial to our country without any harm." ”

Song Sheng followed closely and said: "Your Majesty, what Lord Cai said is extremely true, our country has just eliminated internal and external troubles, the national strength is exhausted, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be rebuilt. ”

Qiu Yi looked at Cai Xiao and Song Sheng, lowered his head, and was silent in thought.

The three giants in the court of the Wind Country, Cai Xiao, Song Sheng, and Qiu Yi, two of them made it clear that they supported the alliance with Besa, and the civil and military officials also followed suit, and for a while, the voices of support for the alliance between the two countries were endless.

Just when everyone praised the alliance between the two countries, in the military general train, Nie Zhen came out of the ranks, meddled in the salute, and said: "Your Majesty, Besa has always coveted our territory, wolf ambitions, passers-by know, this time proposed an alliance with our country, I am afraid that there are other plans, with ill intentions, and I hope Your Majesty will be cautious." "Kneel and beg for a hundred eyes to sing

Jiang Leopard looked at Wenchen on the other side, snorted coldly, and said: "Besa Chen has a million soldiers on the Duki border, and Ningnan has also Chen has a million soldiers on the Duki border, obviously, both countries have the intention of invading Duki and want to fight a national war, at this time Besa wants to form an alliance with our country, which is obviously a woo to our country, and is intended to appease, not to be friendly, and now if our country accepts an alliance with Besa, it will be disadvantageous to our country." ”

At present, the 2nd and 7th Army Corps of the Wind Country have withdrawn from the border of Fengjun to Shangjing, and the commanders of the two armies, Zi Yiling and Jiang Leopard, have also returned to Beijing to participate in politics.

Cai Xiao looked at Nie Zhen and Jiang Leopard, sneered, and said, "Is there anything wrong with my country forming an alliance with Beisa to fight against Ningnan?"

Jiang Leopard shook his head and said: "Beisa and Ningnan want to fight a national war, our country's position is very important, before our country makes a clear statement, Beisa and Ningnan will definitely curry favor with our country in every way, and our country can profit from it." Even if our country does nothing, it is better to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, than to participate in it. ”

Qiu Yi, who had been silent, finally stood up, and he said cautiously: "Weichen thinks that the matter of using troops should be notified to the prince of Zhenguo. Whether or not to form an alliance with Besa is very important, and it also determines who our country will use troops against in the future.

Qiu Yi's words made many ministers present stunned. In people's hearts, Qiu Yi and Cai Xiao and Song Sheng have always been in collusion, and they are all at odds with Shangguan Xiu, in the matter of the Ninth Army stationed in Huya Pass and cutting off the logistics supply of the Zhenjun Army, Qiu Yi is the biggest behind-the-scenes promoter, but now he is uncharacteristically on Shangguan Xiu's side, how can it not be surprising

Even Cai Xiao and Song Sheng, who were closest to him, frowned secretly, turned their heads to look at Qiu Yi, and didn't understand what medicine he had taken wrong today.

Nie Zhen and Jiang Leopard were also surprised, looked at Qiu Yi in surprise, and muttered secretly in their hearts, when did Qiu Yi change to Ah Xiu's side Today's thing is really weird, the sun is rising in the west

The two stared at Qiu Yi for a moment, then turned to look at Zi Yiling, and motioned to him with an inquiring gaze, what the hell was going on. Zi Yiling smiled silently, others may not have seen it, but he could see it, Qiu Yi is moving Ah Xiu out now, in fact, it is a pretense, it is a delaying tactic, he should not approve of the alliance between the Wind Country and Besa, as for what it is for, I am afraid only he understands.

However, it is said that Ningnan has sent a secret envoy to Shangjing and brought a large amount of gold and silver, in order to buy off the officials of the court.

The ministers have now formed three factions, one faction has clearly expressed its support for an alliance with Besa, the other faction has made it clear that it should not form an alliance with Besa, and then there is Qiu Yi's faction, which is dragging it out until Shangguanxiu returns to Beijing and let him participate in the discussion of this matter.

Tang Ling, who was sitting on the dragon chair, looked around at the ministers below and did not make a statement for a long time. After a while, she asked, "Where is Zhen Guogong now?"

"Back to Your Majesty, Zhenguo Gong is still three days away from going to Beijing. You Ling stepped out and replied.

"Well, if you want to form an alliance with Besa, just wait for three days later, and the prince of Zhenguo will return to Beijing to discuss it. Tang Ling made a decision and delayed the matter until three days later.

Without waiting for others to speak, Qiu Yi took the lead in bowing and said loudly: "Your Majesty Shengming"

A group of officials who were headed by Qiu Yi also echoed the voice.

The court, in fact, is a place where various factions pursue profits, no one is forever friends with whom, and their positions are always the same, some are only friendly on the surface, and they are intrigued behind their backs, even if they are two people who call brothers and sisters on weekdays, once their interests conflict and damage their heads, they will also kill each other, stab them in the back, and do everything they can.

In the next three days, the relationship between Tang Ling and Ian has improved greatly.

From the beginning of the rustiness, to the gradual familiarity, there is a tendency to restore the intimate relationship of the year. In the past three days, Ian entered the palace in the morning and did not leave the palace until the evening.

Tang Ling and Ian are getting closer and closer, Zi Yiling, Nie Zhen, Jiang Leopard, Qi Fei and others are naturally looking at it, and everyone is secretly anxious, if it continues like this, I am afraid that the marriage between His Majesty and Ah Xiu will have variables.

After three difficult days, Shangguan Xiu finally returned to Beijing.

As soon as he returned to the Zhenguo Mansion, Zi Yiling, Nie Zhen, Jiang Leopard, Qi Fei, Hua Ning and others came to pay a visit.

Shangguan Xiu was very happy about their arrival and held a banquet in the mansion to entertain them. This time, Shangguan Xiu returned to Beijing with the military division of the Zhenjun Army, Meng Qiuchen, Shangguan Xiu just took this opportunity to introduce Meng Qiuchen to everyone.

Although Zi Yiling and others have never seen Meng Qiuchen, they also know a thing or two about his life experience, in the second national war, the reason why the Zhenjun army was able to successfully loot the western treasury of Ningnan was all due to Meng Qiuchen's advice, which was a great merit, but unfortunately, he was not a wind man, but a Ningnan person, and the court did not give him any substantial reward, in Tang Ling's words, not killing him, and retaining his position as a military advisor in the Zhenjun army, it was the greatest reward for him.

During the banquet, Jiang Leopard took the lead in losing his breath, he drank a glass of wine, and then said to Shangguan Xiu with a red face and a thick neck: "Ah Xiu, why did you come back, you don't know, these days, Ian's guy runs to the palace every day, and he almost doesn't even eat in the palace, if you don't come back, I estimate that the position of the prince of the country will change hands." ”

His words attracted everyone's eyes, and Zi Yiling reprimanded dissatisfiedly: "Ah Leopard, don't talk nonsense. ”

Seeing that everyone was looking at him dissatisfied, Jiang Leopard said angrily, "What I said is the truth." ”

Everyone ignored him and looked at Shangguan Xiu in unison. The latter smiled lightly and said: "Your Majesty and Ian are old friends, we haven't seen each other for many years, and it is rare to meet again, so it is understandable to talk to him for several days." ”

During this time, although he was not in Shangjing, the dark flag personnel were there, and the wind and grass on the side of the palace could not hide from his ears.

The relationship between Tang Ling and Ian is getting closer and closer, and he naturally knows it, as far as his heart is concerned, of course he feels uncomfortable, but feelings are not something that can be controlled by personal will, just like him and Pan Mengjun back then, if a woman changes her mind, no one can stop her.

Jiang Leopard stood up suddenly, and said urgently: "Ah Xiu, I think you don't want to drink with us here, enter the palace immediately, now that kid Ian is still in the palace, who knows what he is doing secretly with His Majesty"

Before he finished speaking, the faces of everyone present also changed greatly. Zi Yiling took the case and scolded sharply: "Ah Leopard, you must not talk nonsense" How can this kind of thing be spread nonsense, it is a capital crime of losing your head, and it is not too much to kill you all over the house.

Seeing that the eldest brother, who had always been calm and kind to everyone, looked nervous at this time, glaring at him angrily, Jiang Leopard also realized that he had lost his words, his face turned pale, and he sat back with his shoulders bent, not daring to say a word again.

Shangguan Xiu waved his hand to Zi Yiling and said with a smile: "Brother Zi, sit down, Ah Bao is also unintentional, not to mention, there are no outsiders here." ”

"Trouble comes from the mouth, you always speak so casually, and sooner or later you will poke out the big Louzi" On the issue of principle, Zi Yiling has the courage of a big brother and will not tolerate his brother.

After easing down for a while, Zi Yiling said to Shangguan Xiu: "Ah Xiu, it's okay for you to enter the palace now, after all, you have just returned to Beijing, and you should inform Your Majesty." ”

"Hmm. Nie Zhen nodded his head and said, "Your Majesty has been waiting for you to discuss the alliance with Besa, and it is also appropriate to communicate with Your Majesty privately before the court discussion." After a pause, he asked curiously: "Ah Xiu, do you think our country should ally with Besa now?"

"Even a fool wouldn't do such a stupid thing. Shangguan Xiu took a deep breath, stood up, and said, "Okay, I'll take a trip to the palace." As he spoke, he turned his head to Meng Qiuchen and said, "Sir greets you brothers on my behalf." ”

Shangguan Xiu asked Meng Qiuchen to preside over the banquet on his behalf, which shows how much he attaches importance to Meng Qiuchen. Through Shangguan Xiu's attitude, everyone was a little more polite to Meng Qiuchen.

Meng Qiuchen knew that the purpose of the Lord was to let these core backbones of the Shura Hall who were in high positions and had prominent family backgrounds accept him as soon as possible, and he was inexplicably moved in his heart, and he replied: "Yes, my lord"
