"The minister very much agrees with the truth that the previous lords said that the lesser of two evils should be chosen."

As soon as Xia Jingyun opened his mouth, the first sentence made the staunch main battle faction stunned, and then disappointed, while the main and faction that was originally afraid of being refuted by him was instantly overjoyed.

The old god Su and Zhao Laozhuang, who were originally there, were still sitting on the stool, like an old monk in a fixed place, and they didn't even lift their eyelids.

"Now the court is in turmoil, the war in the four directions is not settled, if it angers the Northern Liang, the Northern Liang army to attack, although there are the western and central line border troops to defend, but there are also great difficulties, this is a harm."

"If you agree to the proposal of the Northern Liang, the Swift Prefecture will fall into the hands of the traitor Dongfang Ping, and the eastern line of the Northern Xinjiang where the Swift Prefecture is located will be in danger, and the Northern Liang army will be able to leave the Langya Prefecture from the Swift Prefecture at any time.

When Xia Jingyun said this, everyone's faces changed again, as smart as they all reacted, what was Xia Jingyun's purpose.

"What's more important is that if we agree to what Beiliang said, what is the difference between what we do and what we do and seek peace by cutting the land? Is it the decision of an emperor who raises the people to put his people under the rule of the barbarians and traitors of the empire, wailing and suffering without being saved? If this proposal is successful, it will be stinking for thousands of years and spurned by future generations! ”

"It is true to choose the lesser of two evils, but we must distinguish their essence and truly weigh the severity! If the war stops for a year, how can we only see the moment when the Northern Liang will not invade the south for a year, and not see that we will not be able to recover the land of Swift Prefecture for a year? Don't we see that we want to connive at traitors and enemy nations to show off their might in our land? Can't you see where this move will put the Queen Mother and Your Majesty? Can't see the infamy behind it? ”

"Here, I have a message for you, if you seek peace through struggle, you will live in peace, and if you seek peace through compromise, you will die in peace! The two countries are fighting, you live or die, Beiliang will never stop because of our retreat, he will only be jealous because of our strength! ”

The loud words echoed in the hall for a long time.

The sentence "if you seek peace through struggle, you will survive peacefully, and if you seek peace through compromise, you will die peacefully", also trembled in people's hearts for a long time.

But the court argues, and it is never reasonable to argue about who is arguing.

The position that everyone stands on has never been a simple matter of who is unreasonable.

Wan Wenbi slowly spoke, "Marquis Jianning's words are reasonable, but the old man still wants to ask, if the Northern Liang comes from the country, how can we deal with it?" If we are not willing to do this thing of losing power and humiliating the country, but the matter has come to this point, it will be like the clever woman who is difficult to cook without rice, and the plan will be safe? ”

Hearing this unremarkable sentence, Old Lady Su and Old Farmer Zhao opened their eyes together, and Old Farmer Zhao frowned slightly.

Wan Wenbi's words seem to be bland, but in fact, he hides a bit of evil, now Xia Jingyun is already a central minister, if he opens his mouth, there will be an inch of mountains and rivers and an inch of blood, I can wear armor and other things that seem to be bloody but are useless, coupled with his own youth, this will inevitably be looked down upon.

And after a person has been fundamentally denied and questioned, what he said before is no longer so convincing, no matter how plausible.

This is why many people choose to attack the private morality of their opponents in the event of political disputes.

Xia Jingyun obviously realized this problem, and was not fooled, but said slowly: "Wan Xiang said this, he asked the point, presumably this is also your worry, right?" ”

"We might as well calm down and analyze it. We have sent a large army to meet the battle in Langya Prefecture, the arrival of the envoys of the Northern Liang has confirmed that the Northern Liang did not use the power of the country to help Dongfang Ping's idea, as long as this battle is won, Dongfang Ping's troops will naturally stop, we also have time to rectify the civil strife and gather troops to counterattack, what is the need to make an oath to yourself to restrain your behavior? You don't think that Beiliang is so good, only they swear by themselves and ignore us, right? ”

"As for what the Northern Liang is pouring into, this official has sent a letter to the king of Anguo, and the reply of the king of Anguo is to reassure us that there will be no problems on the western and central lines."

Xia Jingyun looked around, "Don't we believe in the Wudang army who has saved the society and the danger countless times, and don't believe in the little military god who broke 50,000 in front of the Bishui Pass, but to believe in the ambition of the wolf Tiger Wolf of Beiliang with a fluttering promise?" ”

Everyone was speechless by these words, it seems that to support peace is not to support the king of Anguojun, so who dares!

When the king of Anguo returned to Beijing, he really dared to beat people.

When the ministers were silent, the old owner of Zhao said slowly: "Marquis Jianning, what you said is good, but the situation on the eastern front is undecided, and the results of the battle are unknown!" ”

"Then wait for the results to come out!"

"Wait?" Old Zhao raised his eyebrows, "What about the people of Beiliang?" ”

Xia Jingyun knew that the old owner of Zhao was helping him check and fill in the gaps, so by the way, he talked to hand the ladder, and sneered when he heard the words: "Their so-called price change is nothing more than intimidation." Besides, I'm really reduced to the point of letting people eat meat, even if we have signed the peace papers, can Beiliang really be able to endure it without invading? Xue Wenlu came from afar, thousands of miles away from Liangdu, and everything had been planned a long time ago. ”

Hearing this, the old owner of Zhao Zhuang nodded, "In this way, the old man will have no opinion." ”

When he said this, except for a few central ministers, who would dare to make a fool of himself.

And the central ministers are better able to judge the situation and understand the inside story, so they all shut up.

On the high platform, seeing that the debate was over, Concubine De said slowly: "The ambition of the wolf son of Beiliang should not be credulous, Xia Aiqing's words are penetrated, and the mourning family agrees." According to this theory, the envoys of the Northern Liang will be stabilized for the time being, and wait for the results of the battle in Langya Prefecture. White clouds. ”

Bai Yunbian responded to the call, "The minister is here." ”

"Your errand is well done, and then you will continue to accompany the Beiliang Mission to stabilize it."

"Minister, obey!"

——

In the post house of Honglu Temple, the Beiliang mission asked his subordinates to guard the door, and the three of them gathered in the room and talked.

After all, it was in the capital of the enemy country, even in the secret room, Yelu Wende subconsciously whispered: "Your Royal Highness, do you think that lady of the Southern Dynasty will agree?" ”

Xue Wenlu smiled faintly, "Girl? As far as the demeanor of the Queen Mother of the Southern Dynasty, how many people can compare with my Liang? Even if you are an enemy country, you still have to have basic respect. ”

Yeluwende smiled awkwardly, "Slip of the tongue, it's not important. ”

Xue Wenlu didn't grasp this point and shook his head slightly, "Actually, I can't say anything about this." ”

He looked at the two deputy envoys with puzzled faces, and said leisurely, "Do you remember what I said to you?" The Southern Dynasty has been able to compete with my Liang for many years, and there are outstanding people in both the government and the opposition, not to mention the court. It's just that after being immersed in this world of flowers for a long time, it is inevitable that the temperament will slowly become cowardly and timid, and the iron-blooded things of the sword and soldiers have become rejection and fear in their bones for them. Therefore, this son doesn't know which one can have the upper hand. ”

He picked up the teacup, took a sip of the expensive and delicate tea of the Southern Dynasty, and let out a sigh of satisfaction, "But what this world can confirm is that no matter what, today's matter is thrown out, and they who are afraid should not dare to let that annoying white cloud side cause trouble anymore." ”

Yelu Wende and Yuan Wenjing couldn't help but pull the corners of their mouths when they remembered yesterday's experience, they were also well-informed, but they had never seen anyone more irritable than that one.

Just as he was thinking, there was a knock on the door, "Your Royal Highness, someone from the Southern Dynasty is coming." ”

The three people in the room glanced at each other, tidied up their makeup, got up and walked out.

As soon as they opened the door, the three of them saw the smiling face by the white clouds.

The expressions of the three of them froze in unison.

"Huh? Your expression doesn't mean that you don't welcome this official, right? ”

Bai Yunbian seemed to not know how annoying he was, and his face was simply puzzled.

"Ahem." Xue Wenlu laughed embarrassedly, "Lord Bai is here, but your country has already made a decision?" ”

"I'm still young after all, it's just so anxious."

Bai Yunbian didn't seem to have a B count for his age, shook his head and sighed, "This matter, although it is not small, but we have a lot of things in the court, and the Queen Mother and Your Majesty also have many things to deal with, so they have to come one by one." It will be your turn, rest assured. ”

Xue Wenlu, who was obviously a few years older than Bai Yunbian, pressed his heart that couldn't help but be restless, and said slowly: "The internal affairs of your country, the envoy will not interfere. But don't forget that today's words will not be the price after today. ”

Bai Yunbian disagreed, "Do you know what you look like now?" It's like that silver-like pewter head with a sullen look on his face, and he can't get out of bed for a while. ”

He leaned forward, "It's really fierce, well, just like this official, he never bothered to use verbal intimidation, he was directly conquered with practical actions." But the question is, can you do it? ”

"Presumptuous! I don't see you see the coffin."

Yelu Wende's angry shout was held down by Xue Wenlu's outstretched hand, Xue Wenlu squinted his eyes slightly, "Lord Bai, who was born as a dignified scholar and is known for his talent, can say such vulgar words when the two countries have diplomatic relations, which is really unbelievable and eye-opening. ”

Bai Yunbian was stunned for a moment and sighed, "Isn't this official accommodating to you, I think you Beiliang people like this tune!" It seems that the official has overestimated your vulgarity, and the official will pay attention to it in the future. ”

Honglu Siqing followed behind him, burying his head lower, Lord Bai is simply singing and dancing on people's faces, if I were a person from Beiliang, I would probably be unable to help but draw a knife.

But Xue Wenlu was not such a simple person after all, he just took a deep breath, "If Lord Bai has nothing else to do, then please go back." ”

Bai Yunbian hurriedly said: "Don't, this official is ordered by the Queen Mother and Her Majesty, and I want to accompany you today, so that I can enjoy the scenery of my Zhongjing!" ”

I'd love to experience it, but I don't want to talk to you. Xue Wenlu snorted and said coldly: "The journey was tiring, but today I am tired and I don't want to go out." ”

"That official is waiting here, call me when you want to go out today."

"We're not going out today!"

Seeing Bai Yunbian leave with a regretful face, everyone in the Beiliang Mission had a kind of relief to escape.

That night, a carrier pigeon fluttered its wings and landed in the pigeon house of Liuyun Tianxiang Pavilion, and almost at the same time, another carrier pigeon also flew into the rebuilt black ice platform.

The next day, early in the morning, before dawn, Xue Wenlu's door was slammed.

"Who!"

Xue Wenlu, who hadn't woken up yet, opened the door angrily, and under the lights, the annoying face by the white clouds appeared in front of him like a nightmare.

"Your Royal Highness, it's the second day today, what is your price today?" (End of chapter)
