Chapter 321: Pang Xuelin's Choice
"Your Majesty!"
When Pang Xuelin heard this, he wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Emperor Qi waving his hand.
"King Ming, the battle on the battlefield is not a child's play, besides, I also think that our Southern Qi does not need to go back to this backwater at all, if King Ming can break through the Heavenly Pass, it is better to say, if it fails......"
Emperor Qi wanted to speak and stopped.
"Your Majesty, I don't know if there are some things that I, a foreign minister, should say?"
At this moment, Chu Mo suddenly spoke up.
Emperor Qi frowned slightly, but he still opened his mouth to let Chu Mo continue.
"Your Majesty, this Western Chu is ambitious, although on the surface it seems that Western Chu has not made any excessive moves against Southern Qi, but in fact, in private, there should still be small disputes between the two dynasties, right?"
"Your Majesty, just imagine, my Dawu Dynasty and Northern Yan and Southern Qi can be described as a cold relationship, if this time the Western Chu army is attacking our Dawu Dynasty, once the Dawu Dynasty falls, what will Western Chu do next?"
Listening to Chu Mo's words, Emperor Qi fell into deep thought.
Seeing this, King Ming on the side came to strike while the iron was hot, and said: "Your Majesty, what the foreign minister said is not alarmist, the ambition of the wolf son of Western Chu, there will often be a large army to harass the people of my Southern Qi border pass, for our Southern Qi, Western Chu is also a potential threat, once the Dawu Dynasty is broken by Western Chu, maybe our Southern Qi is alive and Northern Yan, which is their next target!" ”
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Ming is right, if the troops in Yuguan are weak today, it is a good opportunity for us to send troops!"
"Please also ask Your Majesty to give the order to send troops!"
"Please give your Majesty the order to send troops!"
All of a sudden, many generals made an accusation, hoping that Emperor Qi would order troops to attack the Western Chu Tianyu Pass.
"Your Majesty think twice!"
Many scholars, led by Pang Xuelin, raised opposing opinions.
The entire court suddenly fell into a stalemate.
At this moment, Emperor Qi's brows have never stretched a little, and it is difficult for him to judge whether he will send troops or not.
Judging from the current situation, sending troops at this moment is indeed beneficial to their Southern Qi, Tianyu Pass is the most important border fortress in Western Chu, if it can be broken, their Southern Qi army will drive straight into the territory of Western Chu, whether this battle is won or lost, this is not a bit of harm for their Southern Qi.
But Emperor Qi also knew that if they sent troops at this moment, it would mean that their Southern Qi had completely embarked on the point of becoming enemies of Western Chu, and they and the Dawu Dynasty would be grasshoppers on the same rope, and they would lose their glory.
"Your Majesty......"
Seeing Emperor Qi's entangled face, Pang Xuelin's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly stood up again, but before he could finish speaking, Shan Guangyao unceremoniously interrupted him and asked sharply.
"Prime Minister, this king wants to know why you keep stopping us from sending troops? No matter what aspect of this matter is, my Nanqi has a reason why I must send troops, is the Prime Minister worried about something? Or is the Prime Minister worried about Xichu? ”
Listening to Shan Guangyao's words, an imperceptible smile flashed on Chu Mo's face, and Pang Xuelin's face changed again and again after hearing this.
"What does King Ming mean by this? Could it be that King Cheng Ming thought that there was something to do with this phase and Western Chu? ”
Pang Xuelin said with a frown.
"This king didn't say that, but the prime minister's current behavior has to make people guess like this."
"The prime minister keeps saying that it is for the sake of Nanqi and the people of Nanqi, but in this matter that is originally beneficial to my Nanqi, the prime minister is obstructing everywhere, and this king wants to know what kind of heart the prime minister has!"
King Ming pressed step by step.
"Hmph, I don't want to argue with King Ming! There is no excuse for the sin you want to add! ”
Pang Xuelin said coldly.
"Prime Minister, there's nothing to say? It seems that those rumors are not groundless. ”
"Your Majesty!"
King Ming sneered, and immediately turned to look at Emperor Qi above, and immediately said righteously: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Pang Xuelin is ambitious, and I still hope that Your Majesty will be Mingjian!" ”
"Please also ask Your Majesty to know clearly!"
"Your Majesty, please!"
People in the single glorious vein echoed one after another.
"Your Majesty, King Ming's words are completely alarmist, the Prime Minister is dedicated to the country, and I hope that Your Majesty will return the Prime Minister's innocence!"
"Please restore the Prime Minister's innocence!"
Seeing that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty fought again, Emperor Qi above was completely one head and two big.
Looking at the actions of the person in the Shan Guangyao lineage at this moment, and seeing the embarrassing application on His Majesty's face at the moment, Pang Xuelin couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face, and a sense of disappointment arose in his heart for His Majesty and for the entire Southern Qi.
"Your Majesty! Since His Majesty felt embarrassed, the minister had a solution. ”
Pang Xuelin's faint voice sounded, and the entire court minister of civil and military affairs couldn't help but look at Pang Xuelin, and even Emperor Qi above looked at him with a suspicious look on his face at this moment.
The originally noisy hall became quiet in an instant, Pang Xuelin first smiled bitterly, then looked at Shan Guangyao and the others, and slowly spoke.
The meaning in His Royal Highness King Ming's words is obviously not enough, but the old man still says the same thing, the clear is self-purifying! The old man has been an official for decades, counting His Majesty today, he has assisted the three emperors of the Southern Qi Dynasty, if the old man has two hearts, why wait until this old age. ”
"Your Majesty, with all due respect, since Your Majesty ascended the throne, this Nanqi is no longer the former Nanqi. The old man's hard work in this life has been spent in this court, counting, the old man is almost seventy this year, and the old guys who once assisted the emperor with the old man are now also dead, and they are retreating, and now it seems that this may be the best result......"
Pang Xuelin spoke slowly, but every word he said was touching Emperor Qi's heart.
For Pang Xuelin's loyalty, he is obvious to all, so he didn't take the things rumored by the folk to heart, because he knew that even if Pang Xuelin was different from him as an emperor in terms of governing the country, the starting point of the two of them was undoubtedly not to make Southern Qi more prosperous.
"Prime Minister ......"
Emperor Qi wanted to speak again and again, because at this moment he no longer knew what to say.
"Your Majesty doesn't need to say much, the old man has been thinking about this matter for a long time, the old man is old, and he is already powerless for many things, so the old man pleads with His Majesty in this palace today to allow the old man to take the blame and resign from the office, and tell the old man to return ......to his hometown."
As he spoke, Pang Xuelin slowly took off the official hat on his head, and when a minister on the side saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward to take the official hat in Pang Xuelin's hand, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.
"Lao Pang, you ......"
Before the minister could finish speaking, Pang Xuelin interrupted him with a smile.
"Old Sun, in the future, the affairs in the court will have to bother you more."
After speaking, Pang Xuelin bowed to Emperor Qi again, and then resolutely turned around, and walked towards the outside of the hall under the gaze of everyone......
