Chapter 53 Mutual Compromise
They wanted to shake off today's confusion, and Shang Zeyi finally created an opportunity, which would not be so easily eliminated.
"This matter is not appropriate, whether Li Konghan is a spy of Dongli still needs to be cautious, after all, this is a major matter related to the friendship between the two countries, and it needs to be based on real evidence. And if it is found out that he is really an assassin sent by Dongli, he can't go around lightly, and he has to let Dongli suffer a little and have a long memory, otherwise it will make people underestimate our Shangguo. ”
Shang Zeyi looked righteous and stern, but he just bit this matter to death.
If these people must close their eyes and blindly accuse Li Konghan of being a person from Dongli, then Shang Zeyi would dare to force them to talk to Dongli, because Shang Zu was humiliated, he sent the entire Zhendong army to defeat Dongdao, and now everyone is provoking to the doorstep, the situation is even more serious, and the hardness is no worse than last time.
Shang Ze remembered that he didn't let go, and ordinary courtiers didn't dare to answer, otherwise if there was a mistake in his words and caused diplomatic problems between the two countries, it would be a responsibility that they couldn't afford.
The law of officialdom is the most important thing to protect oneself, and those who can really make the first bird are those who have to do it with high power, or have ambitions to take the opportunity to fight.
The only people who can answer this talk and are qualified to answer the call on the current scene are Xu Qingyin and Shang Zejin.
The other two high-ranking people, Shang Zerui and the mud, can't easily express their position, and Lin Zixuan is a person from Qi State, this matter is sensitive to her, any words will be quibbles, not suitable for succession.
Xu Qingyin had already expressed his position before, but now he didn't know what he was considering, so he didn't speak.
And Shang Zejin had been watching the play all night, and finally got up at this time, saluted Shang Zerui slightly in the center, and then said: "This person is indeed a spy of Dongli, the emperor's brother has already found out before, but he wanted to put a long line to catch a big fish, so he didn't expose it, but he never expected him to take the initiative to show up." ”
Shang Zejin said it calmly, and when he lied, it was the same as the truth.
Everyone knew that Shang Zejin was holding the blood horse, and it was up to him to testify, and it seemed that Li Konghan's identity as a spy in Dongli had been decided.
Shang Zeyi had already guessed that Shang Zejin would come out to stand up for Lin Zixuan, and he was not surprised by this, but he was already a broken man, and he had no bottom line in doing things.
"If that's the case, then they can't just let go of the East Fence, today they kill people in front of the saint, tomorrow they dare to send assassins to the Imperial Palace, if something like this happens, they need to pay the price, and it hurts. ”
"Your Majesty, please allow me to send troops to fight against Dongli, so that everyone in the world will know that the prestige of my Shang country cannot be violated. ”
Shang Zeyi clenched his hands into fists and said indignantly.
Shang Ze Jinrui naturally won't agree, today's matter was originally a dump of the pot, if they sent troops because of this, but the division was nameless, and the thief shouted to catch the thief and was laughed at by the world.
Moreover, the dispute between eastern Anhui has only ended for a few years, and the army in Zhendong needs to recuperate, and the newly incorporated eastern Anhui Province also needs time to operate well, so it is not suitable to move troops at this time.
"Sending troops is not child's play, this matter needs to be considered in the long run. Shang Zerui deliberately shirked.
The emperor's procrastination is also an art, procrastination, big things can be turned into small things, and small things will be turned into small things.
Although Shang Zerui is young, he is already perfect, and some things that are difficult to conclude will be delayed, and after today, the matter has been half resolved.
Shang Zeyi also understands this art of the emperor, but he obviously doesn't want to drag things out for Shang Zerui, he took a step forward, frowned and said sternly: "This matter is related to the state of Shang, please think twice." If he is easily allowed to pass and is known by the subjects of the world, it will hurt their hearts and chill their minds, so that when the merchants of the world go to other countries, they will no longer be able to raise their heads. ”
"Even an assassin can enter the imperial city to assassinate unharmed, so what about bullying your people? People in the world will not praise my merchant country for his generosity, but will only think that my merchant country is easy to bully, so that he will be embarrassed everywhere. I want to work hard for two generations of my Shang country, so that the Shang country can finally dominate the world, and I don't have to live a life of slaves and maids. ”
Shang Zeyi made up nonsense, how serious it was, and the courtiers in the hall had a pain in their heads, but after tasting it carefully, he also found that what he said did make some sense.
However, today, the relations between the four countries are not as friendly as they seem, and there are also a lot of open and secret fights in secret, and how the subjects are treated in other countries depends on the strength of the country.
Now the Shang Kingdom has already risen, and it is not inferior to any other three countries in terms of strength, but if it is because of some things that people have the idea of weakness and deception, it is definitely not a good thing for the Shang people who are traveling around.
A hundred years ago, the Shang Kingdom is the best example.
In this world, there has always been only the cruel truth that you retreat and I advance, each step back, that is the benevolence and righteousness that exists in the novel, and it is not true.
If today's events spread to the sky, the situation that Shang Zeyi said is indeed very likely to occur, and the undercurrent of White Deer City is the world's No. 1 intelligence organization, if Shang Zerui and these people insist on cutting off the opportunity that Shang Zeyi has worked so hard to create, he will not care about Shang Guo, and the next day will let this matter spread all over the world.
Chickens fly and eggs fight, and both lose.
Shang Zeyi had already spoken so clearly, Shang Zerui couldn't drag it out any longer, he glanced at Shang Zejin and asked, "What does King Jin want?"
He couldn't express his position, so he pushed the matter to Shang Zejin, let Shang Zejin think of a way, and also made him a buffer between himself and Shang Zeyi.
Shang Zejin did not continue to say anything after he testified that Li Konghan was a spy of Dongli just now.
Originally, with his character, since he spoke out, he must have had a perfect countermeasure, but he didn't know why he let Shang Zeyi make things bigger and bigger, which was almost forcing Shang Zerui to start a war with Dongli.
"The East Fence does want to fight, but not now. Ze Yi your White Deer City has just been encircled and suppressed by the Three Kingdoms, and you should also know that the soldiers need to recuperate, Bailu City is now protected by the armor soldiers of Beiliang Road, and there is only the Zhendong army in Anhui East Road. Shang Zejin turned his head and said to Shang Zeyi.
He had something to say, talking about the rest and recuperation of the soldiers, in fact, he was telling Shang Zeyi that the strength of Bailu City was no longer strong, and it was still under the protection of the soldiers of Beiliang Road, if the matter really froze, the consequences of breaking up would definitely be something that Shang Zeyi did not want to bear.
If the state of Shang is damaged, White Deer City will cease to exist.
White Deer City is Shang Zeyi's handle, and with the handle in Shang Zejin's hands, he can't do many things without scruples.
He sighed, there was no way they were going to fool this matter today.
The marriage can't be canceled, but Shang Zeyi doesn't mind taking some benefits from it.
"Brother Huang said it very much, but I didn't understand it. ”
"Today's incident Qi envoys were also frightened, and in the future, I will receive them and suppress the shock for the envoys. ”
Shang Zeyi said hypocritically.
What he meant in his words was that he would not bite today's matter again, but in exchange, the reception of the Qi delegation would be entrusted to him with full responsibility.
With this meager right, he can not only make it difficult for the envoys of the Qi State and set up some obstacles for the marriage, but if the mission allows the Li family to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors in the future, he can also follow up and deal with it as soon as possible, and buy more time for Su Jingluo.
"That's right. This request is not excessive, it has no impact on the overall situation, Shang Zerui suddenly became very happy, and agreed without thinking about it.
There was no surprise in what happened next, Li Konghan was put on death row, because everyone knew that this was Qi Guo's own business, so they would not be executed directly, but tossed around and waited until the Qi State delegation returned to return to China and then handed it back to them.
Because of these troubles, the night banquet became no longer pleasant, and the courtiers on both sides were cautious in their words and deeds until the end of the dullness.
The night banquet dispersed, the ministers rushed out, and Xu Qingyin walked out of the palace alone along the Imperial City Avenue with a cane.
On the city wall under the moon, a figure was leaning against the wall and getting drunk alone, and both of them saw each other, looked at each other and immediately staggered their gaze.
Xu Qingyin continued to walk slowly, his steps were very slow, and the words in his mouth were very light, like a mosquito, only he could hear it.
"Is it worth it to give up the third child just for Shang Zeyi?"
