Chapter 125: Both
The most troublesome thing is nothing more than the troublesome and unintelligible things.
Following the succession of the six countries, they sent troops together to hostile the Xiaoqiong Kingdom, and all of them wanted to share the cup of the Xiaoqiong Kingdom, otherwise, the Mo rebellion within the Xiaoqiong Kingdom made the territory of the Xiaoqiong Kingdom sharply reduced.
At such a time, there was another piece of bad news that came back to Xiaoqiong Wangcheng and entered Qiong Haolong's ears.
The Haojin Kingdom and the Zhongtian Kingdom announced that they had merged into one, and had become the commander of the Five Kingdoms, and the banner was to destroy the Xiaoqiong Kingdom, so as to replace the status of the Xiaoqiong Kingdom.
"It's no coincidence that these six alliances are united, but now that the two countries are united, there has never been such a situation since ancient times, how is this good?"
"This calamity is a great calamity, if it were not for the favor of the heavens......"
Since the early dynasty, there has been no intention of quieting down in the court, but Qiong Haolong, who is on the throne, did not say anything, let alone stop them, and at this moment he was also having a headache for one thing after another.
In the entire court, only Feng Xiao was calm, standing quietly in his position, contemplating with his eyes, seemingly without any thoughts, but in his heart, there were constantly various schemes and possibilities, from these thousands of methods, to seek a way out for the Xiaoqiong Kingdom.
After all, this matter must be decided by the lord of the country, and the civil ministers only care about strategy and audience, and the military ministers only care about obeying orders and charging and killing the enemy bravely.
"Lord Feng, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are worried about state affairs, why are you the only one here to calm down, as if my Xiaoqiong's survival and death are irrelevant to you alone, do you have the slightest consciousness as a Xiaoqiong courtier?"
The court gradually quieted down before someone spoke, in front of officials big and small, and said that Feng Xiao was not.
And Feng Xiao, the breath is not chaotic at all, and he doesn't care too much.
However, he still spoke: "It is true that I am Xiaoqiong's courtier, but Xiaoqiong is not a shackle that binds me, I naturally stay here for the reason why I stay here, why don't I need you to talk about it." Besides, if you're saying I'm not here, why don't you look at yourself first?"
Now Xiaoqiong is embarrassed by herself, internal and external troubles abound, and the lord of the country is already a headache about this, and his heart is very tired. And you, and all of you, don't know what to say here, and your words are messy, what do you look like as a courtier?"
For a while, Feng Xiao's rebuttal directly made the civil and military capital of the Manchu Dynasty speechless.
At this moment, there was silence in the court, and there was no sound.
And after such a situation, Qiong Haolong's gaze looked down.
"Don't argue too much, this king has just succeeded to the throne, and he still needs to bother you. Qiong Haolong said, "But this king also thinks that what Brother Feng Xian said is not inappropriate, and he is kind to me, and I have no intention of leaving him in Xiaoqiong, so I also ask you Aiqing not to bother more on this topic." ”
"The ministers know their mistakes, and ask the lord of the country to forgive their sins. ”
Naturally, Qiong Haolong had already opened his mouth, and there was no point in them continuing to argue with Feng Xiao, so they could only sell a good man.
But then, an old minister immediately walked out of the ranks.
"Wechen still has a plan, maybe he can save the kingdom from danger. The man said.
These words naturally made Qiong Haolong slightly moved.
He asked, "Aiqing, what method are you talking about?"
The man immediately said: "Now that the six countries are strong, but I, Xiaoqiong, have been in a lot of holes in the internal and external troubles for nearly a year, and the strength of the enemy and us is really difficult to match. Since ancient times, when a weak country fights a strong country, it is all about cutting land and paying compensation, or breaking the law of marriage to save the day. ”
This approach, although it cannot be called a solution.
However, it is not impossible to have it both ways.
In the past, Xiaoqiong was strong, and he was able to be the courage of six countries with the strength of one country, and dominate the world with the strength of one country. But now it's different, Xiaoqiong has turned into a weaker.
On the side, Feng Xiao listened to his words, but didn't say anything.
Maybe this is not a method, the so-called big husband can bend and stretch, and the forbearance for a while is just for the sake of future ambitions, so this may also be possible.
Moreover, it is difficult to find a military breakthrough after thousands of calculations.
After all, in front of the great powerhouse, no matter how much the plan is, it will not help.
"Then according to Aiqing's meaning, how to cede the land and compensate, or where to marry?" Although he hesitated for a moment, in the end, Qiong Haolong still opened his mouth and asked.
Although this is a great shame, if you can preserve Xiaoqiong's eternal foundation, it is not impossible to try.
The man said: "Weichen alone can't be the master, and it still needs to be decided by His Majesty himself." ”
Qiong Haolong nodded lightly and didn't say anything.
At this point, there may be only one way.
"Brother Feng Xian, what do you think?"
In the blink of an eye, Qiong Haolong asked Feng Xiao.
Feng Xiao's gaze leaned down slightly, and after pondering for a while, he raised his head and said: "In my opinion, if the enemy five countries are divided more or less, one side will always be unhappy, but if it is divided equally, there will be people who chew their tongues in terms of national strength, so the matter of land cession and compensation can only be made after consultation with the five countries." ”
"So, according to what you mean, do you want to invite the five countries to send envoys to come and discuss with me Xiaoqiong?" Qiong Haolong asked.
Feng Xiao nodded and said, "When the time comes, I hope that the lord of the country can leave a few strategists who can speak well to argue with the five countries, and protect Xiaoqiong's land as much as possible." ”
"So, can you?"
Qiong Haolong asked.
"If the lord believes me, I can try. ”
Feng Xiao replied.
And in the end, Feng Xiao didn't say a word about the marriage.
Even though he is cold-blooded and ruthless, he also understands that marriage is a major event in his life. If you ruin the happiness of your life for the sake of others, it is too bleak and cruel, and for some people who are in love, life is worse than death.
Moreover, now that Xiaoqiong is almost facing the death of the country, if she only sends the princesses of the palaces or the first princes to marry, I am afraid that the position will be insufficient. If the position is enough, it must be the sister of the lord of the Xiaoqiong Kingdom, Qiong Yueluo.
Qiong Yueluo is kind to him, after all, it was also Qiong Yueluo who was reluctant to take care of herself day and night. Moreover, for such a long time, no matter how dull he is, he will not fail to see Qiong Yueluo's feelings.
The phrase "I will believe you for the rest of my life" is not something she would say to anyone.
After everything was stated, he retired from the early dynasty.
After the early dynasty, Qiong Haolong sent envoys to various countries to convey the things decided by the early dynasty today.
The palace was busy, and there was nothing he needed to deal with, so naturally he didn't plan to stay in the palace. After leaving the palace, he went straight to the inn that he had kept for a long time.
It can be said that he is also the only important minister in Xiaoqiong's history who lives in an inn.
Once in the room, he sat down on the bed and began to meditate with his eyes closed.
Of course, he didn't have any hope of breaking through or anything.
In a flash, it was already night.
He couldn't help but open his eyes, and in a trance, he felt a little bored in his heart, and with such a mentality, it was difficult to continue cultivating, so he left the inn and walked on the street.
During the war season, the lights on the streets are dimmer than usual, but after all, it is the capital of a country, and it is still brightly lit not long after nightfall.
On foot, he also walked aimlessly.
It's just that unconsciously, I came to the edge of Bitian Lake.
And when he came back to his senses, there was already an empty pavilion in front of him, and the plaque on the pavilion was the three words "Lanfei Pavilion".
On the side of the stairs below the attic stood two guards.
Feng Xiao looked up, although the lights in the pavilion were bright, but they were empty, but they looked a little desolate.
However, when he was about to turn and walk back, the guards behind him stopped him.
"Lord Feng stays, the eldest princess is waiting for you in the attic. ”
Hearing this, Feng Xiao couldn't help but settle down, and her eyes turned back again.
With a look on his face, he was a little puzzled: "Princess Moonfall?"
The guard nodded, not saying anything more.
And Feng Xiao, without much hesitation, took a step and walked up to the attic.
Pushing open the attic door, he could see the moon setting on the trunk facing the lake.
"Yue'er. ”
Feng Xiao walked slowly towards her, and her mouth was calling.
Qiong Yueluo didn't react much, still looking at the lake in a daze.
Subsequently, Feng Xiao also leaned on the gan.
"Why do you think I'm here today?"
Feng Xiao asked.
At this time, Qiong Yueluo spoke: "I don't know, maybe it's intuition." ”
And before the words fell, she didn't wait for Feng Xiao to say anything, just continued to speak.
"Today, Brother Wang sent several envoys to the enemy country, it seems that it is for the matter of ceding land with the five countries for compensation, can you tell me, is Xiaoqiong really weak to such a point now?"
Qiong Yueluo's words seemed mature.
When Feng Xiao heard this, he was silent and answered by default.
After waiting for a while, Feng Xiao didn't speak, and Qiong Yuelou also understood.
"Brother Wang once said when he was a child that he would pass on his father's thoughts in the future, and if he took over his father's position, he would make Xiaoqiong more prosperous in his hands. Qiong Yue said, "Now, it doesn't seem to be like that, so I just want to know how Xiaoqiong is now." ”
It's not like she doesn't know it.
Six countries are in a row and attack the Xiaoqiong Kingdom, this is already a well-known thing. And the Xiaoqiong Kingdom, the whole country is vast, and it is naturally impossible for her, as the eldest princess, not to know.
Now Xiaoqiong's momentum is not as good as it used to be.
