Chapter 384: It's a Bolt from the Clear
Tang Yingying didn't care what these courtiers thought, she took a sip of strong tea to suppress her sleepiness. From the aspect of the early court, she really admired these courtiers, and she had to get up in the middle of the night.
Sure enough, courtiers are not ordinary people.
Mo Chen coughed lightly twice, drawing the courtier's attention back: "There are two things in the court this morning, the first is the signing of a peace agreement with Zhu and Yue, do you have any opinions?"
The courtiers said no, jokes, who dares to give an opinion on this matter, is it because they think they have a long life? Moreover, this is an excellent thing for the Western Dynasty, which is in the leading position.
Seeing this, Mo Chen motioned for Mo Yuankai to preside over the next matter.
Mo Yuankai slapped his slap twice: "Let's talk about it first, this peace agreement has been signed, it doesn't mean that it will be stable. Those who should be trained should be trained, and those who should be guarded against should be guarded."
The courtiers replied "yes", and it is true, there are many people in history who have used peace agreements to paralyze other countries, and they cannot afford to make such a mistake.
After Mo Yuankai finished beating, he asked the forbidden army to invite the envoys of Zhu, Yue and Liang to come in.
The envoys of the three kingdoms saluted.
The envoys of Zhu and Yue saw the haggard, emaciated and old appearance of Qian Shangshu and the others, and once again felt that they had done the right thing, fortunately they did not do anything that should not be done in the Western Capital, otherwise they would be like Qian Shangshu and the others.
Qian Shangshu and the others were angry and afraid, they were afraid that they would be imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department again and continue to live that inhuman life.
But they are on the territory of the Western Dynasty, and as long as the matter is not resolved for a day, the Western Dynasty has countless ways to lock them up.
"His Royal Highness the Regent......" Qian Shangshu had just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by Mo Yuankai.
"Qian Shangshu, I invite you here today to ask you to see the signing of a peace agreement between our Western Dynasty and Zhu and Yue."
Qian Shangshu and the others widened their eyes violently, and looked at the envoys of Zhu and Yue so much, these two countries were about to sign a peace agreement.
The envoys of Zhu Guo and Yue Guo didn't care about the eyes of Qian Shangshu and the others at all, and they smiled.
"Oh, it is an honor for me to be able to sign a peace agreement with the Western Dynasty. Speaking of which, I don't like a certain country where I am capable of being extraordinary."
"You're so right. Our country is weak and wants to sign a peace agreement. Okay, okay, let's not talk too much, and sign a peace agreement quickly, so that we can really feel at ease."
Qian Shangshu and the others never thought that this would be the case, in their expectations, the Zhu State and the Yue State would discuss with them and wander between the Liang State and the Western Dynasty, so that it would be convenient for them.
However, the fact is that Zhu and Yue signed a peace agreement very happily.
How can this be?
Looking at the freshly released peace agreement, Qian Shangshu and the others were even more confused, no, shouldn't the Western Dynasty take the opportunity to put forward a lot of conditions, and then slowly annex Zhu and Yue?
Such a good opportunity, why did the Western Dynasty give it up?
Mo Yuankai deliberately praised the peace agreement, and smiled extremely kindly: "Oh, peace agreement, what a beautiful word, just looking at it makes me feel happy."
The courtiers were more able to speak than one another.
"What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is that this peace agreement has brought prosperity to the country. Next, our Western Dynasty will start a long-term trade with Zhu and Yue, which will make the people's lives better all of a sudden."
"It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity that Liang Guo can't experience it. In order to prevent accidents, my Western Dynasty did not dare to trade too much with the Liang State, for fear of being calculated."
"When the three countries join forces to get rich, they will become stronger and stronger. However, we will not take Liang Guo to get rich together, and let Liang Guo become worse and worse."
Qian Shangshu and the others were so angry that they choked: "You, you ...... The Western Dynasty deceived people too much."
The courtiers were happy: "Ouch, where is your Liang country bullying people in our Western Dynasty. Lin Die'er's substitution for marriage, you Liang Guo has not solved it so far, and you are still delaying there, and even dare to make a fuss about Lin Die'er's murder, do we really know nothing?"
No matter how good Qian Shangshu is, he can't talk about a large group of courtiers, and Qian Shangshu and others have it
Scruples, the courtiers had no scruples.
The envoys of Zhu and Yue looked at Qian Shangshu and others with the eyes of fools, and Qian Shangshu and the others didn't even want their lives for the sake of profit, which is really "admirable".
After the peace agreement was signed, there was nothing to do with Qian Shangshu and the others, and they were sent back to the prison of the Criminal Department to wait.
When did Liang Guo give a satisfactory answer to the Western Dynasty, and when did he release Qian Shangshu and others.
Mo Yuankai arranged for the forbidden army to send the envoys of Zhu and Yue back to the royal palace, and ordered people to entertain them with good food and drink.
After the others left, he glanced at Tang Yingying: "Princess Regent, can we do the second thing?"
Tang Yingying finally came to some spirit: "Listen to the prince. I'm not very good at talking, so I'll trouble the prince to talk about it."
The corners of Mo Yuankai's mouth twitched, and he saw that the princess regent was too lazy to say it, so he let him say: "...... Yes."
He looked at the courtiers with sympathetic eyes.
Seeing that the courtiers were confused, there was a faint feeling in their hearts that they were not very good, could it be that the prince and the regent and his wife wanted to make a big move?
Mo Yuan laughed very happily: "That's right, after my discussion with the Prince Regent and his wife, it was decided to establish a women's army."
He bit the three words of the Women's Army.
It's like a bolt from the blue.
The courtiers were stunned, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time, what did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just say?!
Mo Yuankai was happy to see the courtiers like this, and repeated again: "Gu thinks this is a good idea. Some women are so good that they can't bury them, so it's very necessary to build a women's army."
The courtiers finally came to their senses, still a little dazed.
"No! His Royal Highness the Prince, this is against the rules of etiquette, how can a woman show her face to be a women's army, it is simply unseemly."
"Yes! Your Royal Highness the Prince, I am against the establishment of the Women's Army, this is really not true."
"I think I can build a women's army. If it weren't for the so-called rules, women wouldn't necessarily be worse than men."
"There are those rules, and there are a lot of outstanding women. It's good to have an army of women, and in many ways, it's easier for women than for men to do it."
Disagree and agree quarreled.
Most of the people who disagreed were civil ministers, and most of the people who agreed were military generals, and there were civil ministers and military generals in the center, and they persuaded a few words from time to time.
Mo Chen, Tang Yingying and Mo Yuankai sat there watching the play, and they didn't mean to stop it at all, and it was healthier to be noisy.
The two sides quarreled so much that no one could convince anyone. The courtiers who were not very good-tempered rolled up their sleeves to fight.
Tang Yingying grabbed a handful of melon seeds out of nowhere, and gave some to Mo Chen and Mo Yuankai, and the three of them watched the play while knocking on the melon seeds, and commented a few words from time to time.
"In terms of lip service, the military general can't say anything about Wenchen. But in terms of momentum and force value, Wenchen is much inferior to a military general."
"Each has its own advantages. However, it is not so easy to build a women's army."
"There's not enough to stake. There are enough interests for these people to want to build a women's army."
Everyone knows this truth, in the face of sufficient interests, who cares whether you are a man or a woman, only cares about whether it can bring the desired benefits.
The courtiers quarreled so much that their mouths were dry, and they didn't get a result, so they thought about asking Mo Chen and the three of them to call the shots.
Who knows, well, the three of them are sitting there eating melon seeds and watching the play.
In an instant, the tense atmosphere and the anger were gone, and only anger and fun remained, and there was nothing left to do about it.
Tang Yingying and the three of them were all thick-skinned, and they didn't care about this look at all.
"It's all over?" Mo Yuankai clapped his hands, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea: "Now that the quarrel is over, it's time for us to continue talking about this matter."
The opposing courtier wanted to speak, but Mo Yuan gave him a cool look, and retreated to his position with his neck bent.
Mo Yuan smashed it, smashed it, and smacked his mouth: "You people who oppose it don't want to think about it, when the women's army is established, your daughters and nieces can't also enter
Finish? Especially the daughters of the family, who have no sons."
"My daughter has made great achievements, isn't it good to recruit a son-in-law? When the time comes, the reputation, the official position and the grandchildren will be there, and it will be better than having a son, right?"
The opposing courtiers didn't listen to this taste.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, this rule that has been handed down since ancient times is that women have three obedience and four virtues, and they teach their husbands and children at home, how can anyone show their heads outside."
"yes, it's not like a woman showing her face outside."
Mo Yuan sneered, "It's not like a woman showing her face outside? If you have the ability, you can let them live a comfortable life, don't take concubines and visit flower houses."
"You want a good name and a good future, and you want a woman to be obedient to you, why don't you dream? Besides, if it weren't for a woman who gave birth to you and took care of the housework, would you be comfortable?
Don't forget, your mother's sister is also a woman, so you belittle your mother and sister like this? What qualifications do people like you have to continue to be officials?"
It's all some kind of stuff, just looking out for your own disgusting stuff.
These courtiers who opened their mouths lowered their heads red-faced, where did they dare to say another word. Besides, their official positions will really be gone.
The courtiers who agreed agreed with Mo Yuankai's words.
"What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is that if there is no woman to take care of us, we can fight outside and be so comfortable?"
"I'm afraid that the person who says such things has no conscience, and his own mother and sisters are also women, so he can belittle a woman like this, which makes his mother and sisters feel so cold."
"There are a lot of concubines in this family, and I usually visit the flower building, and I also boast of being a famous person, so I don't have to be disgusted."
Mo Yuankai applauded: "That's good! can slander his own mother and sisters like this, and he also boasts of being a famous person, I think he is an official."
"Who does it start with?" He casually pointed to the opposing courtiers: "It just so happens that there are many capable and capable people who cannot be reused, and I am worried that there is no place to place them, but now there is a place."
The opposing courtiers panicked and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Please forgive your sins with His Royal Highness the Prince."
