The provocation of leaving the country is clearly testing the reality of the Yan country, or testing the bottom line of the Yan country.

If you don't respond strongly, the other party will definitely get an inch, this truth is understood by both Emperor Yan and the ministers, only by punching open, can you avoid a hundred punches.

But the problem is that there is no evidence to prove that he left the country to kill the hundreds of soldiers of the patrol team.

So how exactly to deal with it remains to be discussed.

Emperor Yan looked at Sun Yi, who had not spoken, and asked, "What advice does Taishi Sun have?" ”

Everyone turned their eyes to it.

Sun Yi is an old minister of the Three Dynasties, his own prestige is extremely high, and at the same time, he has a unique opinion on major events, if he makes suggestions, it is very referential.

So they all want to hear what he thinks.

Sun Yi pondered for a while before he arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that this matter should not be rash. ”

"It's naturally not okay to swallow your anger, this will only chill the hearts of the border soldiers, and it will make the arrogance of leaving the country even more arrogant."

"But we have no evidence on this, and even if we do, we can't go to war. What Han Shizhong said is not wrong, fighting a war now is not in line with the national policy of my Yan country. ”

You can't swallow your anger, and you can't make trouble leaving the country.

Sun Yi's words seemed to be the same as if he didn't say them.

Who doesn't know this? The key is to find a compromise solution, a way to save face without going to war and suppress the departure from the country.

"So what does Sun Taishi mean?"

Emperor Yan's eyes moved slightly, and he continued to ask, he knew that it was impossible for Sun Yi to say some nonsense.

Sun Yi expressed his thoughts unhurriedly and said: "First, we must appease the border soldiers, give grand rewards and pensions to the dead soldiers, and give the attitude of the imperial court. ”

"Second, in response to this matter, a large number of troops have also been deployed at the border, practicing every day, strengthening patrols on the border between Yan and Yan, and allowing small frictions to occur."

"Third, regardless of whether I admit to leaving the country or not, I Dayan will publicly condemn this matter, and guide public opinion to direct the anger of the people to leave the country."

"The more they don't admit it, the stronger the people's anger will be, which will greatly mobilize the people's hearts and morale, and the court will have more confidence."

Sun Yi said three strategies and suggestions in a row.

Everyone else is focused on how to save face or retaliate against leaving the country, but his focus is different.

Since the matter has happened, no matter what, as long as it does not directly start a war against the departure of the country, the Yan country will inevitably lose face, not only in front of other countries, but also in the hearts of the people and soldiers at home.

It is okay to lose face in front of other countries, but the people's will and morale cannot be lost.

"Fabulous!"

Lin He stroked his palms and praised, his eyes were full of admiration, "What Sun Taishi said is extremely true, stabilizing public opinion and the military spirit of the officers and men in the army is the most important thing at the moment. ”

"Only by stabilizing the morale of the army and public opinion, can I Dayan grasp the initiative and have more confidence to fight back and leave the country!"

After hearing this, Han Rui also deeply agreed, and stroked his beard and said: "Chen Bing's border, allowing small-scale friction and conflict, not to the point of starting a war, but also to let the country see my attitude of Dayan, very good." ”

Sun Yi's strategy won their unanimous approval.

It's not that it's clever, but it's a clear idea for them to know what to do and what to focus on.

"The will of the people, this is what Confucianism has always valued and emphasized, and those who win the hearts of the people will win the world."

"If I want to become stronger, I must not lose the hearts of the people, please think twice."

Sun Yi saluted Emperor Yan tremblingly.

These words made Emperor Yan fall into deep thought, and the hall became silent.

After all, these are the suggestions made by their courtiers, and as for the final decision, it still depends on Emperor Yan.

"Just do what Master Sun said."

After a long time, Emperor Yan agreed to the three strategies proposed by Sun Yi and looked at the ministers below.

"The specific implementation will be discussed by the three provinces, and after it is drafted, it will be handed over to me for review."

"It will be the National Day in a few days, and this matter will be left after the National Day, and don't make a noise until then."

National Day is a national ceremony.

If the conflict with the departure from the country is spread before this, it will be too bad for the face of the imperial court.

"Obey the order—"

Sun Yi and other five ministers bowed down one after another to receive the order.

Although this matter was concluded, Emperor Yan was still in a bad mood, and sighed deeply: "If Su Sheng is still there, how dare he be so arrogant when he leaves the country?" ”

The fundamental reason for the arrogance and provocation of leaving the country is that because of the absence of the Confucian saint, the Yan country lacks a Dinghai God Needle.

If there is a Confucian saint sitting in the Yan country, then even if he gives a hundred dares to leave the country, he will not dare to send troops to provoke like this.

I think that when Confucianism was still an official in the Yanguo court, he was also faced with the desire to leave the country to send troops to Yanguo, and Confucianism was sent as an envoy to leave the country to negotiate.

Faced with the threat of the angry emperor leaving the country to send troops, the Confucian sage only said a word lightly.

"The wrath of the Son of Heaven ambushes millions of corpses and sheds thousands of miles of blood; Although the minister is a mortal, he has the wrath of cloth. ”

"The anger of the cloth clothes is splashed with blood five steps, and the foreign minister is now only five steps away from His Majesty, Your Majesty wants to taste the anger of the cloth clothes today, so that the people who leave the country are not so simple?"

These resounding words shocked the departing emperor to the point of not daring to speak, and respectfully agreed to the peace.

After this incident, everyone in the world saw the backbone of Yanguo, and the reputation of Confucianism also soared.

Thinking about how high-spirited the Confucian sage was back then, in the face of leaving the country at the peak, he could be fearless in the face of the emperor who left the country, and the Yan country was still very weak at that time.

Now the Yan country has the national strength not to lose much to leave the country, but there is no one like the Confucian saint.

"Your Majesty, where is the Confucian Sage now?"

"I haven't returned for fifteen years, isn't it because I fell into the trap of the Demon Emperor on the side of the demon clan and couldn't get out?"

Cheng Hongwu hesitated for a moment before asking.

The government and the opposition have always had similar speculations about this matter, otherwise there is no way to explain that the Confucian saint has not returned for so long.

Cheng Hongwen, who is the elder brother, immediately denied it: "Impossible! How arrogant is the Confucian Sage, and the Demon Emperor is only a defeated general under him, how can he be trapped? ”

Cheng Hongwu wanted to refute one or two, but Emperor Yan interrupted the dispute between the two of them.

"Let's go and draft a strategy to counter leaving the country first, I'm a little tired of going here today."

Emperor Yan sat on the dragon chair and reached out to rub his eyebrows.

When the ministers heard this, they bowed down and retreated one after another, leaving the Heart Cultivation Hall in turn, but their hearts were still very heavy.

In today's era of saints, Confucianism is the backbone of this country.

……

Fengyi Palace is the residence of the queen.

The current queen is not Emperor Yan's original match, and Emperor Yan's original match, the crown princess, fell ill and died shortly after Emperor Yan ascended the throne, and did not give birth to an heir.

But as an emperor, it was naturally impossible not to establish a queen, so after only a year, a second queen was established.

The queen gave birth to a son and a daughter, one is the current crown prince, and the other is Princess Yong'an.

The night is dark, and the lights in Fengyi Palace are still bright.

Today, the queen personally prepared a table of dinner, and called the crown prince and Princess Yongan over for dinner.

Now that Emperor Yan has not arrived, the mother and son are chatting in the palace, and bursts of laughter are heard from time to time.

"The queen mother is really looking more and more beautiful recently, and if we mother and daughter walk on the street, we will definitely be considered sisters."

Princess Yongan leaned on the queen and said coquettishly.

In front of the queen, she is completely different from outside the palace, she is not wearing men's clothes, but wearing a white fairy dress, with long hair on cloud sideburns, bright and moving.

The queen smiled at the corner of her mouth, but she still glared at her, and said angrily: "Young poor mouth, don't think that you can not be scolded by saying good things about this palace." ”

"You take money from your royal brother every day and sneak out to play, do you really think that this palace doesn't know?"

Hearing this, Princess Yong'an's face stiffened slightly, and she couldn't help but glare at the prince on the side.

The prince smiled after spreading his hands: "This is not the imperial brother I sued, but the queen mother asked, and I had to answer." ”

"You can't deceive the queen mother, can you?"

He naturally knew about Princess Yong'an going out of the palace to play, after all, he took money from him every month, and borrowed his tokens to enter and leave the palace.

After glaring at the prince with resentful eyes, Princess Yongan pouted and said, "It's just going out of the palace to have fun, what's the matter, who made the palace too stuffy." ”

The queen didn't eat her set, and continued to teach: "If you only go out of the palace occasionally to play, the palace is too lazy to talk about you." ”

"But you have to go out for four or five days almost every month, the palace school is absent, and the female workers don't study either, where is the slightest princess demeanor?"

"That is, the palace still helped you hide it from your father, otherwise your father might not know how to punish you."

As soon as she heard Emperor Yan, Princess Yong'an's face froze.

Although her father loves her, if he knows that she is not good at studying palace studies when she goes out of the palace to play, he will definitely confine her in the palace.

"Queen Mother, the sons know that they are wrong, don't tell your father, the sons don't want to be grounded......"

Princess Yong'an's beautiful eyes were full of tears, and she was about to cry.

Sure enough, as soon as this trick came out, the queen couldn't help but soften, so she had to say: "Then you have to study female virtue well in the future, and you can't slack off anymore." ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother! The queen mother is the best! ”

Princess Yongan smiled instantly, and hugged the queen for a while.

The prince looked at this scene, and he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, he knew his sister's character, although she was born beautiful, but she acted and spoke like a man.

Let her learn female virtues and female workers, it is more difficult than letting the demon clan not eat people.

Retracting his gaze, the prince continued: "Queen Mother, my father should have forgotten to come over because of his busy government affairs, so it is better to let his sons go over and invite his father." ”

Today was supposed to be a family of four to eat together, but now it has been waiting for more than an hour, but Emperor Yan has not come, and even the meal has been heated three times.

Hearing this, the queen looked at the sky, although she was a little disappointed in her heart, she still smiled lightly and shook her head and refused.

"No need, your father wants to deal with state affairs, don't bother him, let's eat first."

As she spoke, she instructed the maid to heat up another hot meal.

The crown prince and Princess Yong'an could see that their mother was in a bad mood, and after the two glanced at each other, they took the initiative to change the topic and tell some interesting stories outside the palace.

"A few days ago, I heard that the son of the Confucian sage asked Zhuge Shangshu to set up a spirit gathering array in the mansion, and the momentum is not small."

"I don't know what he wants to cultivate, but he needs to use such a huge spirit gathering array, it's really curious."

The prince talked about the turmoil in the aura some time ago, and the turmoil caused by this incident was not small.

After all, such a large Spirit Gathering Array changed the direction of the aura in the entire Shengjing City and even a large range of nearby ones.

If it weren't for Su Mu, the person who set up the formation would not have ended the matter, and the Demon Town Division might have intervened.
