Zhou Li Wang Jihu had just turned eighteen years old in the spring of the year when he was wiped out in Hubei, and there were still two years before he was crowned at the age of 20. It is precisely because the Son of Heaven is not in power, so except for the spring and autumn seasons of the ploughing and the autumn harvest ceremony, the Hokyo Dynasty never held a large court meeting, and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs only had to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to make a decision.

However, after the emergency military report of the Hou Yu Fang Ping to destroy the Fan State was submitted to the Prime Minister's Mansion, because the incident was sudden and urgent, and Zhao Bohu felt embarrassed by his position, in Wang's study, in front of the case of King Zhou, a small-scale court meeting was being held.

In addition to Zhou Li, Wang Jihu, the actual ruling Zhaogong Bohu, the participants of the court meeting are naturally indispensable to Zhou Gongding, who is single-minded, Rongyi, a close minister who can only hibernate because the Son of Heaven is not in power, and Rui Liangfu, a doctor who is responsible for recording and reference, plus an inner servant Qi Zhong who serves tea.

The opening of the small pilgrimage meeting began with the summoning of Bohu's plea.

"Great king, the minister is guilty. The minister was slow to deal with, and he had been hoping that the Ying clan would support him, so as to eliminate a military disaster invisibly. didn't want the world to be impermanent, so Ying Yuan actually poisoned Gongzi Yan, so that things were out of control. Now, the Eyu side has completely annexed Fanguo, and the matter is already difficult to recover. The sin of this minister is also to ask the king to surrender. ”

Ji Hu's answer was both official and sincere: "The young father is in charge of the complicated government affairs, and it is not easy to be left and right, how can a person be a sage, how can he be comprehensive?" This matter is not the sin of the young father, and there is no need to say it again. Ministers, discuss what to do with it! ”

"Thank you, my king!"

Rui Liangfu stepped forward: "King, summon the prime minister, the current situation is very clear. Eyu annexed Fanguo, that is, the export of Suizao Jin Road in his hands, in the future, Suiguo will collect gold from the Tonglu Mountain, how much can be sent into the capital of the eighth division of Chengzhou and my pickaxe Jingwang, but it is up to him to decide. How to deal with this matter must come up with a strategy. There are no more than two ways, whether it is war or appeasement, there is no third way. ”

A few people frowned at the words, and the soldiers of the Hubei side were in full swing, and there was no doubt that the battle would be won; In case of defeat, the prestige accumulated by the Zhou royal family's several victories will be wasted again. But to take this road------ what he wants most is the Copper Green Mountain, which can't be given------- so what to caress it?

Even the scheming Zhou Gongding shrank his neck and stopped talking, if he rashly put forward the idea of fighting the main battle and the main caressing, he would not be able to eat and walk around when something went wrong. Anyway, it was to summon the princess to be in power, he suddenly figured it out, and bowed slightly to Zhao Bohu: "Zhaogong is young and promising, and he is the first king entrusted a lonely minister, and he is in charge of the country, so he has to summon the prince to take the idea." The old ministers and others have no objections. ”

Zhao Bohu glared at him, took out a roll of parchment from his sleeve and respectfully handed it to the king's case: "King, this is a letter from General Cheng Zhou's fake handsome Ziliang, and I ask the king to adjudicate." ”

Ji Hu was surprised: "Why can't the young father decide by himself, why should he rule alone?" ”

Ziliang blamed himself for the matter of Hu Yufang, thinking that he was just avenging his daughter, and he didn't want to have the ambition to destroy the country. In order to show his reproach, he asked the king to remove his national surname and restore his original surname Kui as a punishment. ”

"What's the problem?" As soon as Ji Hu took the case, he was a little unhappy in his heart, whether the surname Ji was not surnamed Ji was just a formality, but Duoyou's solemn book made him feel that this person had long been not rare in his surname, so he was waiting for such an opportunity to clear it up? As soon as he made sex, he simply waved his sleeves: "Let's go, since he is so stubborn, then he will obey his will and still return to his surname." ”

"The minister thanked the king for Kui Ziliang." Zhao Bohu bowed solemnly.

Zhou Gongding was anxious: "Summoning the prime minister, it's far away." What kind of strategy should be adopted for the Hubei side? It's a battle or a fussing! ”

Zhao Bohu was not in a hurry to answer, slowly walked to the middle of the study, and arched his hand and said: "King, there is a chance to fight or settle the moment, and it will be decided by the king." ”

"Oh? What chances? Ji Hu leaned forward, obviously very concerned.

Zhao Bohu handed over a thin and bright mud-sealed copper pipe with both hands, and Qi Zhong took it with both hands. Ji Hu picked up the narrow knife on the case, cut open the mud seal, unscrewed the copper pipe, took out a roll of parchment and unfolded it, only read it for a moment, his slender and handsome eyebrows were locked, and he was silent.

"King, summoning the prime minister, who is in the book? So what's going on? Rui Liangfu asked.

"This is the book of the Hou Yufang." ъìＱυＧΕtＶ.℃ǒΜ

"Could it be for the affairs of Fanguo?" Rong Yi, who had not spoken, also asked.

"I don't know what this book is about. It's just that Hangu Guan Ling and Luoyi stayed behind all have books into the Prime Minister's Mansion, and after the beginning of spring, the Marquis of Ehou sent a concubine to Haojing, thinking that he wanted to offer a daughter to the palace to serve the king, in order to show his submission. Zhao Gonghu raised his eyes and glanced at Ji Hu, whose face was getting more and more gloomy, and said in a low voice.

"He doesn't think about it!" Ji Hu swept the brass pipe and parchment to the ground, and said hatefully: "How can the daughter of the E family enter the palace again? He is delusional! ”

Seeing that the young son of heaven was really angry, a few courtiers, you look at me, I look at you, no one dares to brush the dragon's scales again. In the end, everyone's eyes focused on Zhao Bohu, as if to say: You are the prime minister and the master of the Son of Heaven, who do you not advise?

Zhao Bohu had no choice but to step forward and persuade: "The king is at ease." This move should be a test of our king's attitude towards his annexation of Fanguo, if the king insists on refusing to accept his daughter, then this person will be strong. Hubei has just annexed Fanguo, the national strength has risen sharply, and there are Huaiyi tribes secretly communicating with the song, mastering the road with Zaojin; At present, it is spring, and it rained continuously in autumn, and the grain harvest in Chengzhou and Guanzhong is insufficient. If the war is rashly started, not to mention the copper, even the corn grain is not enough to support. For the sake of the stability of the country, the king can't bear many things! ”

"But ------" Ji Hu raised his head and said hatefully: "Lone saw it, and when he heard the word 'Eyao', he felt disgusted, how could he let another Eyao enter the palace?" Wandering in front of the lonely eyes all day long? Besides, the lonely has already made a marriage, and the woman surnamed Jiang of the Shen family has not yet entered the palace, so there will be a daughter of the E family first, what is the matter? ”

"The king is too worried!" Rong Yi interjected with a smile: "The seventy-second woman of the Son of Heaven, what does it matter if there is one more and one less?" Let her enter the palace, take care of her food, clothing and shelter, birth, old age, sickness and death. No one forced the king to spoil her, but the harem just opened more mouths, what does it matter? In this way, let the Eyu Fang settle down, and my Zhou Dynasty will also gather strength and slowly figure it out! ”

Ji Hu's heart swelled with sadness, and he muttered: "Back then, the first king once said to Gu that as the Son of Heaven, he should not have the love of ordinary people. Some women have to marry whether they like it or not; And some, no matter how much you like it, you can't be with it. Lonely now I can feel it! That's it, it seems that this pickaxe palace is going to have another Eyao! ”
