Chapter 55: The Plague - Amazing

"I disagree!" As soon as the proposal to march into the Western Mountains came out, Xiao Huang, who was the king of Shu, immediately expressed strong opposition to it, "Rashly marching will only attract extraordinary crazy revenge, isn't it already good to have such a peaceful situation now?" ”

Hearing Xiao Huang's words, Feng Rui, the Duke of Min, was not to be outdone, and then said, "His Royal Highness the King of Shu, you and I both know why Jueqi would agree to maintain a temporary peace with us. When he said this, Feng Rui and some of the courtiers present looked at Xiao Huang with a little unkind eyes, and Xiao Huang was so angry that his whole face turned red when he heard Feng Rui humiliate himself in public like this.

The reason why Feng Rui said this somewhat inexplicable sentence to Xiao Huang has to start from the strange rebellion many years ago, before the strange rebellion, the local ruler of the Western Mountains was the protector king of the Great Liang, the so-called protector was originally the religious leader of the local animism, due to the complex terrain of the western mountain range, in order to better manage the mountain residents, the local religious leader was named the protector of the Great Liang, under the jurisdiction of the protector, the entire western mountain range has been safe and sound for several years, and everything is developing in a good direction. It seems that it will not be long before the Great Liang will be able to completely rule the land.

But once there is a seem, it means that there must be some accident happening, this accident is naturally the aforementioned Jueqi and its rat clan, one night in the eighth year of Daxing, Jueqi led hundreds of its black warriors to attack the palace of the Cathar King, and killed the Cathar King and all the Animistic Elders in the palace. As the first to learn the news, Xiao Huang, the king of Shu, instead of leading his army to quell the rebellion, chose to order the soldiers to sit quietly on the border of Shu, and watched the Guardian Palace being occupied by these thieves, and after occupying the Guardian Palace, Jueqi also changed its name to a new name, the Dark Castle, and Jueqi himself called himself the King of Darkness.

Xiao Huang didn't choose to march at that time, and he was worried that he was waiting for him on the road in case of Jueqi, or what he was waiting for was to march by himself and then take advantage of the emptiness of Shu to wait for an opportunity, although Xiao Huang was right to have these concerns at the time, but later facts proved that Jueqi was busy cleaning up the troops of the Protector at that time and had no time to take care of Shu, that is to say, as long as Xiao Huang chose to march at that time, he could defeat the rebels in one fell swoop, and it was precisely because of this incident that Xiao Huang was regarded as timid and afraid of war by many ministers in the southern court. It's just that no one usually dares to mention this matter in front of him, but now Feng Rui mentions the past in public, which naturally makes Xiao Huang feel embarrassed.

"Feng Rui! What do you mean? Could it be that for you, the peace of the people of Shu is not as good as that broken palace? Xiao Huang roared at Feng Rui, his angry roar echoing throughout the hall, "The life of the people on the border of Shu is hard enough now, they have survived by relying on the gifts of the mountains for generations, and now that the two sides have finally reached a reconciliation, their lives have just improved, do you want to let them fall into war again?" I know what you guys are calculating, once the war starts, Shu will become the front line of the war, and under the revenge of those monsters, the people of Shu will only reproduce the tragic situation of the Dian people. ”

"King Shu! None of what you say should be a reason for your weakness, the Protector is the lord of the Western Mountains personally appointed by the saints, and he symbolizes the authority of His Majesty the Emperor there, and now that he dares to offend the majesty of His Majesty the Emperor in such a way, shouldn't we, as courtiers, do something? Could it be that this little thing still bothered His Majesty in the middle of the play? Feng Rui's rough voice instantly overshadowed Xiao Huang's roar, and as he spoke, he waved his powerful arm in the air, "As for the border people you mentioned, I don't think they will be interested in these poor ghosts, their annual taxes are not as good as the monthly benefits of a brothel, should we give up this opportunity for these worthless guys?" ”

Feng Rui's words instantly caused a lot of dissatisfaction from the border lords, although as Feng Rui said, he really can't pay much tax in these places in a year, but comparing them with brothels is unbearable no matter what, as a representative of the border lords, Shen Ming replied without showing weakness, "Min Guogong, please pay attention to your words, if we didn't guard the border for Daliang, how could you have such a good life now, Don't think that we don't know how you lords profit from our suffering! Whenever the border people are suffering, you don't think about how to help us, but how to raise prices and sell those materials that are several times higher than the usual price to us. ”

"Then why don't you border lords each give some money to the forest ghosts and mountain ghosts, and they will always come to invade your poor land." Han Cheng drank wine and watched the excitement as if admiring this fierce quarrel, and he didn't forget to say two stupid words that were out of place.

"Enough!" As the shouts rang out, everyone stopped the endless argument, and the man who spoke was tall, with a pair of bright red eyes and long red hair that was even more fiery red, and was dressed in a black python suit, and beautiful ornaments were all over the man's body.

General Han Cheng showed an extremely contemptuous expression on his face after hearing the man's voice, "King Han, I didn't expect your old man to be quite angry, I don't know if you have any objections to what General Ben said?" "The King of Han in Han Cheng's mouth was originally a lowly half-human, half-demon lowly race, and any half-race in Daliang is the lowliest race, but instead of living the lowest life like other half-bloods, the person in front of him has become a member of the royal family, for a noble-born nobleman like Han Cheng, Xiao Mo's position in the position of King Han is the biggest humiliation for him.

The surname Xiao of the Han King Xiao Mo was given by Xiao Jing's father, according to the generation, Xiao Mo is still the uncle of Xiao Guang and others, although Xiao Mo has also made great contributions to Daliang, but his unusual appearance can be seen at a glance that he is definitely not a human being, and Xiao Mo was ridiculed by others in the early days, even when he became the king of Han, there were still many people who joked about his blood in private, but for him, others said it, and he had been used to it for so many years.

Therefore, when Xiao Mo heard Han Cheng's slightly mocking tone, he didn't feel angry because of this, and said in a calm tone, "The Great General has misunderstood, I just think that several important people in the Southern Kingdom, making such groundless and highly targeted accusations to each other will be detrimental to the unity among the courtiers, if my words hurt the dignity of the Great General, please forgive me." ”

Han Cheng saw that Xiao Mo's attitude was so low and it was not easy to continue to be embarrassed, after all, no matter what people said, he was also a decent Han King, so he put on a smiling face and said to Xiao Mo in a good voice, "Where did King Han say, how dare Han be dissatisfied with you." Then Han Cheng picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in front of everyone, "Forgive me, Han Mou just drank a little high, and what he said was all nonsense, punish himself with a cup and punish himself with a cup." ”

"Things have to be solved one by one, and if you are in a hurry, you will not be able to solve anything like today." Every time Xiao Guang spoke, the timing was always so ingenious, he glanced at the courtiers present, and finally stopped at Huo Boyo, who had been eating from beginning to end, "Prime Minister, you haven't said a word since the beginning of the argument, could it be that you have already thought of a countermeasure?" ”

Huo Boyuo, who was suddenly named by Xiao Guang, wiped the grease stains on his mouth unhurriedly, then slowly got up and saluted Xiao Guang and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the matter of the Dian land sergeant is actually not difficult to deal with. ”

"Oh? Let's hear it. Not only Xiao Guang, but all the people were interested in Huo Boyuo's words, and they all wanted to hear what His Excellency the Prime Minister had to say.
