Chapter 255: Trying to Overcome Public Opinion

The Chinese book made the face of the fifty-year-old man redden, and explained embarrassedly: "Your Highness misunderstood, not blindly seeking peace, but reconciling with the Southern Liang, lest the Southern Song Dynasty, the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the Northern Qi Dynasty take advantage of the situation to enter the ......."

However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Su Yang.

"The news of Nanliang's invasion was sent by Wei Taishi, right?"

When Wei Taishi saw Su Yang suddenly looking at him, his heart moved, and then he said without changing his face: "The Nanliang informant sent the news, and the old minister entered the palace to report to His Majesty as soon as possible. ”

"In other words, Nanliang hasn't really violated the border?"

"It stands to reason that this should be the case, but it is too late to prevent trouble before it happens, and when the Southern Liang attack comes, it will be too late to discuss countermeasures. Wei Taishi said softly.

Many ministers nodded one after another, all agreeing with Wei Taishi's statement, but at the same time, they didn't understand what Prince Yu Wenxin wanted to say.

Su Yang just nodded silently, he couldn't guess the real reason for Nanliang's attack, but it was the news sent by Wei Taishi, which had to make Su Yang suspicious.

Even if the informant delivers the news, it should be Emperor Zhou who knows it first, why do you have to let Wei Taishi explain?

"Prince Ben is just puzzled, whether the news of Nanliang's invasion is true or false. Su Yang bowed slightly, and said: "The countermeasures need to be discussed, but we must also send people to investigate, if the news is false, once the peace or war starts, it will only make a big joke, and even if there is no war, it will be a war." ”

"What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is very true, Nan Liang's offense was only mentioned by the informant, and it was not confirmed, and I don't know when Nan Liang will take action, if it is just a sign of it, and the action will be launched in a few years, we are arguing now, it is really not very useful. "The Minister seconded.

"Once the time of Nanliang's attack is determined, we can also have more time to prepare, if Nanliang is about to invade now, it is not too late for us to choose whether to make peace or fight with it. ”

"That being said, but prevention is better than prevention, what we are discussing today is how to deal with the Nanliang offense, and there must always be a result, and it is possible to find out that the virtual and the real can be carried out at the same time, and there is no conflict. The right servant said.

"The minister still thinks that it is safest to be friendly, please don't hesitate anymore, you need to make plans in advance. Zhongshuling followed and said.

Emperor Zhou frowned tightly and did not speak.

And Su Yang looked at Taishi Wei and said, "Taishi thinks it's better to seek peace or go to war?"

Wei Taishi said with a smile: "Although it is the safest to seek peace, it will extinguish the momentum of my Great Zhou, and it will make Nanliang look down on it, and it will not solve the root." In the end, as long as Nan Liang wants to, they will still invade my Da Zhou. ”

"And if we want to declare war, it is obvious that my Great Zhou is no match for Southern Liang, and it will only perish earlier. ”

Wei Taishi bowed his hand slightly towards Emperor Zhou and said: "So the old minister thinks that harmony is still the only way, at least it can delay us enough time, and when we have the ability to fight against Nanliang, we are naturally not afraid of whether they will violate the border." ”

Even if they are against Heqin, they are silent at the moment, what Wei Taishi said is already very clear, they are not idiots, they naturally understand the truth, this is really no other way.

Emperor Zhou must also know this, putting aside the Northern Qi, he really can't bear to let his only princess marry Nanliang far away.

Su Yang suddenly chuckled and said, "Master Wei really thinks that by taking the princess and kissing, he will be able to make Nanliang temporarily withdraw from the army?"

"The ambitions of the Southern Dynasty are well known to everyone, will they not understand the truth of this? Just because of a princess and a few pieces of land, they will give up this good opportunity to completely annex the Great Zhou?"

The palace was silent for a while, and what the prince said was not unreasonable, if Nanliang insisted on attacking the Great Zhou, I am afraid that even if the princess marries, they will still send troops to attack.

"The so-called compensation will only make Nanliang's footsteps closer, and they can almost set foot on the land of my Great Zhou without a single soldier. At that time, does Da Zhou really have the ability to resist again?"

"They will take the gift of my Great Zhou Peace Prayer, turn it into a sharp sword, and slaughter the people of my Great Zhou, and they will not be like you wastes who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and they will not retreat in the middle of the court. ”

Su Yang's words were a bit too much, but the ministers dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak.

"What does the prince think we should do to start a war with Nanliang?" said the right servant angrily.

"Why not?" Su Yang sneered: "If you don't fight when you still have the ability, will you wait until you are completely suppressed and then rise up to resist?"

"Fight now, maybe there is still the possibility of victory, once Nanliang feels that our Da Zhou is just a bunch of weak waste, their arrogance will only be more arrogant, and the fighting spirit of the soldiers will be even higher, fighting against a group of soft troops without a fight, it is clear that tens of thousands of elephants crushed thousands of ants, and it is effortless at all. ”

"This ......"

Those ministers who supported the peace quest were all purple-faced, and they couldn't find anything to refute.

Emperor Zhou was also surprised, obviously he didn't expect his 'son' to say such a thing.

"The emperor really thinks that if the war starts at this time, we will have a chance of winning in Da Zhou?"

"As long as you believe that you can win, the odds of winning will not be low, and if you think that it is impossible to win, then there is no hope of winning. Su Yang said.

"The last general agrees with His Highness's statement, my Great Zhou generation is by no means a coward. General Lu Yu stepped forward and said in a deep voice.

Emperor Zhou's face was calm, he looked at Su Yang and said, "What do you mean, you want to declare war with Nanliang?"

Su Yang said with a smile: "Father, because of amnesia, the child has basically forgotten everything he learned before, but I know that if someone hits you, you should fight back, and you can't back down because the other party is strong...... Once you back down, the other party will wantonly bully you because you are cowardly and bullied. ”

The words are not rough, but these words have attracted the admiration of a group of generals.

Emperor Zhou was silent for a moment, and then suddenly asked, "But what if you are not that person's opponent?

"We have to fight, and we have to risk our lives to fight! There are not many people who are really not afraid of death. If you can't beat it, you will bite and tear it...... It doesn't matter how many punches you take, once you bite it, you will never let go, and bite off a piece of meat from the opponent!"

“......”

Emperor Zhou was slightly moved, and asked again: "But what if there are several people behind you who want to beat you?"

Su Yang said with a smile: "Don't talk about the Southern Dynasty, my father is worried about the Northern Qi and Northern Wei...... I'm afraid that my father knows better than anyone why the Southern Dynasties are so strong is because they are united and there are not so many barriers. The Southern Dynasty attacked my Great Zhou, and the people who were afraid of it were not our family, if we were honest, would my father really think that the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty would be indifferent?"

"Don't spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, instead of suspicion, it is better to talk face-to-face. Once the Southern Liang invaded the Great Zhou, the next targets would be the Northern Qi and Northern Wei, and they would never sit idly by and ignore the overall situation. ”
