When the ministers saw Prime Minister Zhou Wenbo and the leader of the Tiger Army Shi Shiyong getting out of the car together, everyone's expressions were stunned, but soon, other officials rushed over and surrounded Zhou Wenbo and Shi Shiyong in the middle. Everyone, you and I are talking about the alliance of the six major vassal states, what should we do. The question of whether the Son of Heaven intended to reconcile with the six vassal states and would rather cede land for compensation than fight a decisive battle with the six vassal states, etc.

Zhou Wenbo's head was too big to be asked, and he didn't know that it was better to answer that person. After a long time, when everyone calmed down a little, he said lightly: "The Son of Heaven has the plan of the Son of Heaven, and we, as courtiers, should not speculate on the mind of the Son of Heaven at will." No matter how unfavorable the situation is for our Datang, we must believe that Your Majesty has enough ability to deal with it, and we must believe in Your Majesty. "Let everyone disperse, don't be around the main hall like this, what kind of system will it become?

Generally speaking, for the royal relatives and nobles with the titles of three dukes and county kings, when waiting for the early dynasty, they will prepare a stool and table, and place some spiritual tea and spiritual fruits, so that these ministers have a place to rest.

Although the old man Qin is not the position of the third prince, he has a very high prestige, and the Qin family is very powerful, and he was also awarded the title of county king because of his meritorious support for the new son of heaven, which is the same as the title of Prime Minister Zhou Wenbo, therefore, according to the regulations, he was also arranged with a chair and table, which was next to Prime Minister Zhou Wenbo.

Old Man Qin saw so many ministers surrounding Zhou Wenbo and Shi Shiyong, acting surprisingly calm, drinking tea by himself, regardless of what Zhou Wenbo said to everyone. Zhou Wenbo sat next to Old Man Qin, and when he saw Old Man Qin's appearance, he said a little helplessly: "Old man, you are really leisurely and elegant! ”

Old Man Qin glanced at Zhou Wenbo, couldn't help laughing, and said: "The Prime Minister has always been unflustered, Taishan collapsed in front of him and his face did not change, this time, how could he say such a thing to the old man? Just now the Prime Minister also told everyone, don't panic, you must believe in the ability of the Son of Heaven." Don't...... Are you just talking, or do you have other worries in mind?"

Zhou Wenbo said: "Our son of heaven is many times more mature than ordinary teenagers. The ability he showed to govern the country was probably unmatched by all the previous sons of heaven. However, at present, the Tang Dynasty has experienced the rebellion of the demon clan and Li Chengqian, and many elders of the royal family are injured, dead, and retreated, which can be said to be a great injury to their vitality. I'm not going to tell you, old man, actually...... I don't have much confidence in my heart! anyone...... When you encounter such a crisis, you will not know how to deal with it. Alas, I'm afraid that the Son of Heaven will be under too much pressure and will not be able to bear to make a wrong decision? You and I are both people who assist the Son of Heaven, and if we really encounter such a thing, both of us have the responsibility to remind the Son of Heaven and correct the wrong decision of the Son of Heaven. He looked at Old Man Qin with anticipation.

Old Man Qin smiled slightly, and did not take Prime Minister Zhou Wenbo's words. This old fox has to exchange more than anyone else, he can't see the plan of the Son of Heaven?

If he saw it, then why did he say such a thing? There was only one reason, and the old fox was testing him. However, why do you want to test him? Old Man Qin frowned, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Zhou Wenbo's gourd. Before knowing the opponent's hole cards, Old Man Qin didn't want to show his views and attitudes too much, and waiting to see what happened was the best strategy. He believes that Zhou Wenbo's true intentions will be shown immediately, and it will not be too late to make another move when the time comes!

Seeing that Old Man Qin didn't speak, Zhou Wenbo smiled, alleviated his embarrassment, touched his beard, and no longer asked Old Man Qin, but talked with the ministers around him. Both of them know in their hearts that at this time, it is better to be still than to be still, look at the situation!

"Son of Heaven...... Morning. The new chief manager, Gonggong Chen, waved his sleeves and said loudly. He is the person next to Li Leng, he has followed Li Leng since he was a child, and he has won the trust of Li Leng and Yuguifei Niangniang. After Li Leng ascended the throne, he promoted him to the rank of chief governor.

A huge dragon flew into the air of the Qiankun Palace. Li Leng's sword flew down and slowly landed on the dragon chair. Wearing a dragon robe, he has a domineering aura on his body, especially his eyes, with a chilling murderous aura. As soon as the new emperor fell into the dragon chair, the civil and military officials stood in formation, knelt down and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

Li Leng waited for a full ten seconds before he said unhurriedly: "Flat." Then, he sat down on the dragon chair, his fingers lightly tapping on the tabletop, and calmly looked at the civil and military ministers below. Half a minute later, he said: "In the past few days, there have been rumors in the market, and they all say that I ...... It is necessary to cede the land of the Tang Dynasty and beg for mercy from the six vassal states in exchange for the temporary peace of the Tang Dynasty. I pondered, how could a resolution have been formed before this matter was discussed with the ministers? This world is not the world of me alone, but the world of all Aiqing. Anything...... I will consult with all the Aiqing. Today...... We, the monarchs and ministers, will discuss this matter, and in the face of the six major vassal states, whether our Tang Dynasty is peace, or war, and what will be used to make peace. war, and what to use to fight. Peaceful, what good is it for my Datang, and if it is warped, how much harm it will be to my Datang. Zhong Aiqing should not have any scruples, but know everything and say everything, and say everything in your heart and the thoughts in your mind, what I want to hear is your big truth. ”

Spiritual tea has been served, which is specially brewed with spiritual water. Li Leng picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea gently, and looked at the civil and military ministers below with motionless eyes.

Zhou Wenbo didn't move, his expression was still calm, and the old man Qin also looked at Yu Jian, the prime minister was the head of the civil and military officials, and he didn't express his opinion first, so others were even less qualified to express their opinions.

As for Shi Shiyong, he seemed a little anxious, everyone didn't speak, he wanted to break the deadlock, but suddenly saw Li Leng's eyes, a little suppressed his meaning, he had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and suddenly understood the meaning in Li Leng's eyes, pressed his anxious heart, and also learned the posture of Prime Minister Zhou Wenbo, looking at his nose and nose, and not saying a word.

After being silent for ten minutes, a soldier finally stood up, knelt on the ground, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to say." ”

Li sneered and said, "I remember you, your name is Sunshine Lotus, and you are a squire of the military department. It's okay, you are a squire of the military department, and you must know a lot about the war, so you can tell you about it, if our Tang Dynasty starts a war with the six major vassal states, what are the chances of victory. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister must know everything and say everything, and dare not have the intention of half of the Majesty. Sunshine Lotus calmed down and said, "Before I tell Your Majesty, I want to tell you about the actual strength of my Datang. At present, we have seven armies in Datang, in addition to the armies of the four major territories, there are also tiger army, heavy iron cavalry, and a garrison army defending Gyeonggi. These are the main military forces of our Datang. But you may not know that only four million can be mobilized by the armies of the four major territories, and the Tiger Army, like the garrison, is an important force to protect Gyeonggi. As for the heavy iron cavalry, it is a living force to guard against the iron cavalry of the Yuanrong clan, and it cannot be mobilized at will. Once mobilized, relying only on the northern Xinjiang army will not be able to defend our northern gate. According to the information obtained by the ministers, each vassal state sent a total of 1 million soldiers and horses, making a total of 6 million. And that's not even counting the reserves, and the secret army on special missions. From the military comparison, we can see that Datang does not have any advantage. ”

One of the ministers said disdainfully: "Yang Shilang, you are growing the morale of others and destroying your own prestige! The strength of my Tang Dynasty cannot be compared with the strength of the six major vassal states." But the war is not only a matter of troops, but also the rule of the monarch behind it, the support of the monks in the world, and the supply of grain and grass. These are also the key factors that determine the outcome of a war. But when I heard Yang Shilang say it, it's just a simple comparison of troops, which is a bit unfair!"

Sunshine Lotus said: "Since you want to know about other factors, then I will also tell you about our other factors. In terms of grain and grass, we supply millions of troops, which will cost half of the national treasury. At the moment, we can only supply for half a year. If we can't win the battle against the six vassal states in this half a year, then we will definitely lose. Sometimes, we don't have to fight this battle, as long as the world of the Tang Dynasty is still in the hands of His Majesty, as long as the six major vassal states withdraw their troops, we will have time to breathe, and we will have a chance to turn defeat into victory. ”

"What do you mean...... Make peace with the six vassal states?" Li Leng sat on the dragon chair and asked unhurriedly drinking tea.

Sunshine Lotus bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, fighting, it is extremely unfavorable to our Datang, and it may even wipe out our entire army." Therefore, Chen felt that instead of trying everything he had, it was better to leave a living force and plot slowly. With His Majesty's wisdom, ten years later, he will inevitably lead Datang to greater glory. The minister had the courage to make peace with the six vassal states, and would rather cede land than have any military confrontation with the six vassal states. ”

Li Leng tapped his fingers on the table, listened quietly, was silent for a while, nodded, and said, "I know everything you said, get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty. After Sunshine Lotus finished speaking, she glanced at the three princes in the first row, and then obediently returned to her place.

"Is there anyone else?" Li Leng was not in a hurry, glanced at everyone, and asked lightly.

The other ministers of civil and military affairs, you look at me, I look at you, they don't dare to say a word.

At this moment, Shi Shiyong was anxious, he stood up, and said a little angrily: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to say." ”

"If you have anything to say, say it!" Li Leng seemed to have guessed that Shi Shiyong could speak, took a sip of spiritual tea, and said slowly.

Shi Shiyong said angrily: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Yang Shilang said just now is really a big rebellion. Anyone can make peace with the six major princes, but His Majesty cannot. Once Your Majesty makes peace with the six major vassal states, then our Datang will lose all dignity, and don't think about being a man in front of other vassal states in the future. Let's not forget that the wolf ambitions of the six major vassal states, if they have temporary interests, they will want more benefits. They got so much benefit from this alliance, then there will be a next time, a next time...... Could it be that every time the six major vassal states form an alliance, do we in the Tang Dynasty have to cede land to seek peace? Let me ask you, how much land can be ceded?"

"The present state of affairs cannot be judged by the events of the future. Sunshine Lotus stood up a little unconvinced and said, "In the future, Datang will definitely move towards greater glory and prosperity under the leadership of His Majesty." When the time comes, will the six vassal states still dare to use troops against us?"

Shi Shiyong sneered and said coldly: "I can't control it now, what about the future? Once the opening is torn open, it will get bigger and bigger in the future, even if Your Majesty is a genius, he can't stop this huge opening." ”

"Shi Shiyong, you are so bold! You actually doubt Your Majesty's ability in public, this is questioning Your Majesty. Sunshine Lotus scolded angrily, bowed down to Li Leng and said, "Your Majesty, Shi Shiyong is very disrespectful to the king, and he should be beheaded according to the law, please take down Shi Shiyong and correct the law of the Tang Dynasty." After speaking, he knelt down and asked Li Leng to convict Shi Shiyong of his great disrespect in public.

Shi Shiyong snorted coldly, knelt down, made a big salute to Li Leng, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the heart of the micro-minister can show the sun and the moon, and I dare not have any disrespect to Your Majesty." ”

Li Leng smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Shi Shiyong and Sunshine Lotus said at the same time, and they all stood up and retreated to their original positions.

Li Leng stood up, walked down unhurriedly, and said slowly: "Today's discussion, only the facts, everyone can speak freely, there is nothing disrespectful." As long as everyone's heart is for the good of Datang, I will not cure anyone's crimes. ”

Shi Shiyong's heart flowed through a warm current, knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "The minister just now had inappropriate words, and asked His Majesty to forgive him." ”

"Haha...... General Shi, what I just said...... To put it very clearly, today...... I will not cure anyone for the sin of great disrespect. Li Leng smiled and said, "What's more, General Shi is loyal and patriotic, so what's the crime!? Get up!" walked to Shi Shiyong's side, slowly helped Shi Shiyong up, and smiled at him.

This is undoubtedly telling everyone that Shi Shiyong is not guilty, or that the Son of Heaven trusts him very much. For a time, many ministers in the court secretly stood on Shi Shiyong's side. The atmosphere is a bit ...... Uncanny!

Sunshine Lotus's heart sank suddenly, and she felt that something was wrong. If you can't wait to jump out so much, will your majesty be very disgusted......? What His Majesty wants to do to him, you can pinch him to death with your fingers.

For a while, he regretted jumping out so early to show his attitude clearly.
