The fighting on the front line of Mingsha Mountain was fierce, and the political division in the rear was becoming increasingly prominent, among them, the main battle faction led by the great Sima Huermu and the main peace faction led by the great Situ Zhong Dalu were the leaders, and the whole country was also divided into two factions.

Every day, a large number of old, weak, sick and disabled, children and women participate in this kind of meaningless procession, they either support the main station faction, or support the main peace faction, or both factions, or support the main battle faction today, and support the main peace faction tomorrow, and the noise is not over. From time to time, there have been some skirmishes between the two sides.

"We have already done two national mobilizations, and people over the age of 14 and under the age of 60 have been sent to the battlefield", at the court meeting, Han Dongjun, the young secretary of the Ministry of Rites, as the backbone of the main peace faction, took the lead in making a challenge: "If we continue to fight, who else is available?" Sixty years old? Children under the age of fourteen, or old, weak, sick, and disabled, widowed and lonely"?

"Even if there are people available, there is no food", Hu Songhua, the head of the household, did not wait for his words to land, and then continued: "We ran out of reserve grain in the first half of the first year, and the grain of that year was also transported to the front line. And the war has been going on for many years, Ding Zhuang who can farm has gone to the front line, the old and young women and children are trying to make a living, the cultivated land in the country has gone to six or seven, and the remaining three or four percent of the children have gone to the uneven drought and flood, how much is left? This year, what will happen to the New Year"?

"The Ministry of Industry is no better", Chu Tianyao, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, also lamented: "The five elements and eight works are basically in a state of stagnation, not to mention the business depression, even the basic daily necessities, and they cannot be supplied.

The heads of other departments also complained, telling their difficulties and worries about the future.

"We are waiting for the Lord to cooperate, not for our own selfishness", as soon as the voice of Da Situ Zhong Da Lu sounded, the hall immediately returned to calm.

"It's really out of necessity. Nowadays, the front line is tight, the national strength is weakened, and although there are peripheral countries to help, the income is limited, and the income cannot make ends meet. Even if Dongduo can relieve the siege of the Dome, it is nothing more than to restore the old territory and gain temporary happiness, and can he still hope to work with him to destroy the well-being and divide the world? People who have been sick for a long time still hope to defeat strong men? Once we can't do it, we will make a comeback, and at that time, how will we respond"?

"Then according to the meaning of Da Situ, there is no other way but to seek peace"? Xiao Beichen, the head of the military department, waited for him to finish speaking, and asked.

When Zhong Dalu saw that it was him, he was furious in his heart, and he endured it without having a seizure, and said coldly: "Master Xiao thinks that there is a good way to bring the dead back to life, to heal the person who is about to die"?

"If you are strong and strong, why die"? Xiao Beichen said excitedly: "Han Shaoqing is worried about the lack of troops, the Ministry of Rites is worried about the soldiers, the household department is worried about food, and the Ministry of Industry is worried about commerce, although the current predicament is not completely helpless."

"I want to smell it in detail", although it is just a simple sentence, it is full of provocative smell.

"I won't talk about the aid of the four countries, why can't the Ministry of Rites see the ready-made troops in my own country?" This time, it was not Xiao Beichen who spoke, but Liang Shutong, the director of the Criminal Department.

"Hehe", Han Dongjun, the young secretary of the Ministry of Rites, sneered a few times and said, "Do you really want the old, weak, sick and disabled to go to the front line?" Or do you all go to the criminal department? Or are these of us in the court going with their families"?

There was a burst of laughter in the lobby.

Liang Shutong smiled slightly, and when the laughter stopped, he turned around and bowed deeply to Qiu Shenghong, who was high above, and continued: "I said yes, naturally there is, how can I bully the king in person?" If the king can pardon his guilt and make it work together, then the crowd of 10,000 people can come to ...... in an instant."

"This is not possible"! Before he finished speaking, Han Dongjun, the head of the household, immediately refuted: "If this plan works, what is the use of the law?" Besides, outlaws are difficult to restrain themselves, and once released, they will be scattered. and not for the eternal law".

"This privilege is appropriate to respond to the immediate urgency and the law of the time", Liang Shutong defended: "Besides, it has been used in all dynasties, and it is not my originality.

Of course, everyone in the court knows, let alone Han Dongjun, who is famous for his historiography? He didn't have a good time saying anything.

"I'm afraid we can only rely on neighboring countries for the problem of grain", Xiao Beichen is also a little difficult about this problem: "As Master Hu said, the first grain has been exhausted, the second grain has not been continued, and it is indeed difficult to be caught off guard when the green and yellow are not available. But I think that if it is an alliance, it will be a blessing and a blessing, and an envoy will come to the aid of all countries, and even if it is too late, the front line will still be able to hold out. Commerce is not an urgent issue at the moment, the only thing to worry about is the problem of troops."

"Why not win people with trees"?

This proposal was put forward by Jiang Yuyuan, the secretary of the ministry, and it immediately aroused heated discussions. It turns out that although Shuying is a small country, it has the most feared support corps in the entire Kyushu continent, they are not only disciplined, brave and good at fighting, but also cruel methods, where they pass, there is no grass. As a result, although they have played an important historical role in every historical moment of the change of power, they have always been hated by the people, and no one wants to touch them unless absolutely necessary.

"If you have to win people with the help of trees, it is better to negotiate peace", Da Situ Zhong Dalu took the lead and said: "Although Kangle people are fierce, they are still people in the end, and trees can still be regarded as people?" Needless to say, those sensational legends, we have seen such things as skinning people, cutting off limbs, and cutting off eyes and noses, how can such a cruel devil be provoked"?

"Our relationship with Kangle also has room for maneuver, and it doesn't have to be solved by military", Han Dongjun continued: "Now the two sides are in a stalemate militarily, Kangle can't advance, I can't retreat, often go on like this, consume each other, and disadvantage each other. But if they unite with each other and take a step back from each other, and the people of Kangle return to the land they invaded, I will leave them to their subjects, and each according to his own strength, why not"?

"Is he a man with long brains who speaks like this"? There was a loud shout, like a thunderclap sounding from the ground, and the pure water on the royal case rippled. A big man with a height of more than 1.9 meters, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and a leopard's head and eyes, stepped in front of the emperor, turned around, and said loudly to the crowd: "Is the war provoked by us?" When someone knocks on the door, I don't fight back, do I still have to invite him to drink? When you talk about the past and the present every day, and talk about morality and righteousness, do you soften this bone? Don't say that now that the Kangle people have been defeated, and now the soldiers are coming to the city, we can only fight to the death, and can still be shameless and surrender to people? You and I endure shame, how can our ancestors endure it"?

And when the Lord and the Pai saw that he was angry, they said no more.

He came to Han Dongjun again, looked at him with his eyes, and said indignantly: "You are going to give Mingsha Mountain to the Kangle people as a vassal country, is it easy for a vassal country to do?" Men are slaves, women are maids, slaves of the Xiling people, Baiyu people, slaves of the Huxia people, Kangle people, have you never seen it yourself, and you have not read history? Or is it a fluke, thinking that Kangle people can accommodate different races and treat each other as equals"? Speaking of this, he turned around: "Lord Wang, the lack of ants and the things of the world, I hope that the prince will concentrate on military affairs and not be disturbed by mosquitoes and flies."

"The Dongduo people have promised to send troops, and the deadline will come", Qiu Shenghong, the king of Mingsha Mountain, who had been listening quietly and secretly observing, said with a smile: "Let's wait for them to arrive at the dome and see how the war will be discussed again", as he spoke, he stood up and turned around and entered the apse.

"What kind of eyes"? Da Sima suddenly became wooden, looking at the people in the three departments of work, household, and ceremony, and he was angry: "The country and the family are all useless people"!

After that, he flicked his sleeves and walked out of the hall in a huff.
