Jiang Wei's newlywed Yan'er is intoxicated with her honeymoon, working hard every day, and living a happy life without shame.

I have been freeing myself until the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, and when I need to be on duty in the court, I reluctantly return to the court.

When he walked into the palace, Jiang Wan saw Jiang Wei and found that he was a little haggard, so he said: "Boyo, the young man is newly married Yan'er, it is indeed a beautiful thing in the world, but you must also pay attention to your body, look at you, you are all haggard!" ”

"Nonsense!" Jiang Wei immediately retorted, "General Ben is in good health!" ”

"Really? I see that your dark circles are coming out! Fei Yi said on the side.

"It's nonsense, General Ben is in good health!" Jiang Wei hurriedly argued, causing a group of people to burst into laughter.

After a while, Huang Hao walked in, pulled the male duck's throat and said, "Your Majesty has arrived!" ”

The ministers hurriedly knelt down and worshipped, and the mountain shouted long live!

Liu Chan hurriedly beckoned the ministers to calm down.

At the first court meeting of the new year, Liu Chan seemed to be very energetic, and not long ago he personally sacrificed to the temple and told the ancestors the good news of the victory in Jiaozhou.

At this moment, he has great ambitions in his heart, and perhaps the national fortunes of the Han Dynasty have really begun to move towards ZTE since then.

So he said to everyone: "Zhongqingjia, today is the first court meeting of this year, and I hope that all Qingjia can work together to forge ahead for my Han Zhongxing!" ”

The crowd shouted again: "Obey the order!" ”

"Alright, alright! Ladies and gentlemen, today's court meeting, there is a big event, I want to discuss with you Aiqing, that is, Zhuge Jin, the envoy of Soochow, has arrived in Chengdu, and the lone general will send ministers to negotiate with him. ”

As soon as Liu Chan said this, the hall suddenly exchanged ears.

Fei Yi took a step forward and bowed:

"Your Majesty, the minister suggests that it is better to renew the alliance with Soochow! For today's thirteen states, our Han and Eastern Wu each occupy two states, and Cao Wei occupies Kyushu alone. If the national war with the Eastern Wu continues, then Cao Wei will be on the other side of the river to watch the fire, and when our country and the Eastern Wu are both defeated, Cao Wei will go south in one fell swoop, and then our Han will be in danger of overturning. ”

Liu Chan nodded and said, "Lord Fei Yi, what about Jiang Wan, Aiqing, what do you think?" ”

Jiang Wan walked out of the ranks and said:

"Your Majesty, Lianwu to resist Cao is the national policy set by Prime Minister Zhuge Kongming, and the Prime Minister once said: The country of Eastern Wu is dangerous and the people are attached, and the meritocracy can be used for it, and it can be used for aid but not for it. Zhongxing Han, our primary enemy is still Cao Wei, so the ministers are also the main peace. ”

Liu Chan nodded, and then asked Jiang Wei, "Boyo, what is your opinion?" ”

Jiang Wei thought about it for a while, arched his hand and said:

"Your Majesty, the minister's opinion is very simple, three words: 'look at the benefits'. At that time, the first emperor's troops were weak, so he had to form an alliance with Sun Wu to resist Cao Cao, but he could ensure that our army was not swallowed up by Cao Wei, and the benefits were great. “

"After the Battle of Hanzhong, the power of the Han Dynasty was at its peak, and Cao Wei was still afraid, and the income of uniting Sun Wu decreased, so he gradually became hostile to Eastern Wu!"

"After the Battle of Yiling, the Han Dynasty was in danger of overturning at any time, and the benefits of forming an alliance with Eastern Wu became very large, so Prime Minister Zhuge Kongming would advocate joining Wu to resist Cao. As for now, the national strength of our Han Dynasty is thriving, and the income of Lianwu and Cao has been decreasing. ”

After listening to Jiang Wei's words, Fei Yi immediately asked Jiang Wei, "Boyo, you mean, there is no need to form an alliance with Dongwu now?" ”

Jiang Wei said:

"I haven't said anything like this, I reiterate again, my opinion is to look at the benefits, the current alliance with Soochow, the benefits of Soochow are the greatest, so my Han can take the opportunity to obtain greater benefits, at least let Soochow admit that Jiaozhou belongs to my Han, otherwise there is no need to talk about it."

Jiang Wan asked, "Then Boyo, your opinion is war or peace?" ”

Jiang Wei said categorically: "My opinion is that if Dongwu understands the general situation and recognizes that Jiaozhou belongs to the Han Dynasty, it can be reconciled; If Soochow can't see the general trend of the world clearly and wants to get back Jiaozhou, then the enemy wants to fight, so he will fight! ”

"If the enemy wants to fight, he will fight! You can say that again! Liu Chan praised loudly on the dragon chair:

"Boyo said it well, when Dongwu reneged on the covenant, crossed the river in white clothes and attacked Jingzhou, and now he has invaded the territory and invaded Nanzhong, which shows that Dongwu is a wolf's ambition, and Sun Quan is also a shameless villain without faith. Gu decided that Boyo would be the ambassador and negotiate with Zhuge Jin for Gu, even if Wu resisted Cao, he would have to defend the national prestige of my Han. ”

Liu Chan has always had a grudge against the repeated betrayal of the alliance by Eastern Wu, but the ministers of the DPRK and China basically advocated joining Wu to resist Cao, and it was difficult for him to force the courtiers to agree to his own proposal.

Now Jiang Wei is the only minister who advocates the end with Eastern Wugang, which makes Liu Chan very satisfied, originally he was going to send Jiang Wan to negotiate with Zhuge Jin, but now he has temporarily changed his mind and sent Jiang Wei to talk.

In Liu Chan's view, sending Jiang Wei to negotiate can at least ensure that Jiaozhou is included in the big man's bag, and with Jiang Wei's character, at the negotiation table, he will not easily compromise and make concessions.

Jiang Wei never expected that he would be sent as a negotiation ambassador, and he didn't know anything about the process of ancient negotiations, so he hurriedly said:

"Your Majesty, the minister is a military general, I am afraid that I will miss state affairs, and the minister wants to ask Your Majesty for someone to accompany the minister to negotiate."

Liu Chan smiled and asked, "Who does Boyo want?" ”

Jiang Wei hurriedly replied: "Governor of Jiangzhou, Deng Zhi!" ”

At the first court meeting of the new year, Deng Zhi's residence in Jiangzhou was very close to Chengdu, and he returned to Chengdu as usual, and he happened to be in the middle of the court at this moment.

Hearing Jiang Wei call his name, Deng Zhi immediately looked at Jiang Wei, only to see Jiang Wei smiling at him, and Deng Zhi also nodded lightly at Jiang Wei.

Originally, Jiang Wan was still a little worried about Liu Chan's appointment of Jiang Wei as the ambassador for negotiations, worried that Jiang Wei, as a military general, would advocate confrontation with Eastern Wu to the end, but when he heard the name Deng Zhi, Jiang Wan was immediately relieved.

After all, after the Battle of Yiling, the key person to rebuild the alliance with Eastern Wu was Deng Zhi, and Deng Zhi was also a firm advocate of joining Wu to resist Cao.

Liu Chan's trust in Deng Zhi is also very high, one of the four major governors of Shu Han, each of whom is an important feudal member of Shu Han, and Deng Zhi has always been allowed to be literary and martial, Jiang Wei named Deng Zhi's name, and Liu Chan was also very satisfied.

"If you are lonely, let Deng Bomiao and Boyo go together to meet Zhuge Jin of Dongwu for a while."

At the first court meeting of the new year, there were many court discussions that needed to be discussed, and the court did not disperse until the afternoon.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Jiang Wei caught up with Deng Zhi who was walking in front of him, and hurriedly said, "Deng Gong, can you come to my house to talk!" ”

Deng Zhi readily agreed.

Jiang Wei took Deng Zhi back to the house together.

Guan Yinping saw that the guests were coming, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to prepare a dinner, while Jiang Wei took Deng Zhi into the study to discuss the matter.

After the two sat down, Jiang Wei said to Deng Zhi: "I wonder if Duke Deng agrees with the negotiation strategy I said in the court today?" ”

Deng Zhi smiled and said, "Boyo's words are exactly what I want!" ”

Jiang Wei saw that Deng Zhi was very in tune with his own thoughts, so he hurriedly continued to ask: "Deng Gong, what do you think is the biggest benefit that my big man can get at the negotiation table in this negotiation?" ”

Deng Zhi thought for a while and said, "Dingjiao Prefecture and look at Jingnan!" ”
