Chapter Eighty-Seven: Jing Ci Enters the Palace

After Ouyang Qi left, Jingci sent someone to Shan Hou's Mansion to ask Shan Zhengmin to come to the National Teacher's Mansion.

At this time, Yang Miao knew that Shan Zhengmin was the little marquis of the Shan Hou Mansion of Dazhiguo, and his father was the current Changxin Marquis Shan Jiayun, the Shan family was hereditary and could be hereditary for three generations, and Shan Zhengmin was the third generation of Hou Ye and the last generation.

When Shan Zhengmin came over, Jingci and Yang Miao were playing chess, the chess board was equal, Shan Zhengmin stood on the side and watched, knowing that the two of them had finished playing.

After accepting the chess pieces, Jingci asked Yang Miao to explain the matter again.

After hearing this, Shan Zhengmin said: "Teacher, the students feel that the border issue should be solved first, after all, this is just that both sides are unwilling to make concessions, and the teacher coordinates in one of them, maybe the problem will be solved." As for the crux of the Sky Wolf Gang, it is with the gang leader You Shengjie, as long as You Shengjie can wake up, this matter can be negotiated, otherwise, it will be very difficult. ”

Jing Ci thought for a while, "It's similar to Ouyang Qi's thoughts, I naturally try my best for the first thing, but for the second matter of the Heavenly Wolf Gang, I need to ask the Lord of the Country what he means." ”

The three of them chatted for a while later, and Jingci told Shan Zhengmin by the way that he would be busy, and asked Shan Zhengmin to take Yang Miao to Youcheng for a visit and introduce some reliable friends to Yang Miao.

Shan Zhengmin agreed, he said that he had just come back, and there would be a party in a few days, and when the time came, he would take Yang Miao over to have a look and meet the young talents of You Cheng.

The next day, Jingci was sorted out early in the morning, and took a carriage all the way to the palace gate, and the palace gate guards saw Jingci's frame, and the captain of the guard stepped forward to say hello, and then let him go directly.

Jingci's six-seater carriage could also travel some distance in the palace, and it was not until the gate of the inner palace that Jingci got out of the carriage and the guards knelt down to greet him.

Jingci was led by two internal officials to the imperial study.

"Mr. Jingci, the lord of the country said, let Mr. rest for a while, and he will come to see Mr. after the morning court. A leading officer said.

Jing Ci also said politely: "The internal official, please, I will read the book and taste the tea first." ”

When the internal official went out, the leader left the internal official who was with him, and said, "You stand at the door, if the gentleman is in need, you must meet it, and if you can't do it, come and tell me in time." ”

"Yes, father-in-law. The officer who followed him replied with a hunched back.

Jingci didn't wait long, and the lord of the country Murong went down to the imperial study, and the lord of the country went directly without letting the internal officials report it.

The lord of the kingdom saw Jingci sitting on a chair and falling asleep.

The internal officials wanted to come forward to wake up Jingci, but they were stopped by the lord of the country, so that the internal officials all stepped down, and the lord himself began to correct the twists and turns.

After a while, Jing Ci woke up and saw that the lord of the country was correcting the folds, so he stood up, walked to the side of the lord, arched his hand, and said, "The old minister respectfully respects and respects His Majesty the lord." ”

The lord of the kingdom got up and held up his hand with respect, and said with a smile: "The teacher doesn't have to be polite, let's sit and talk." ”

After Jingci sat down, he said: "The old minister is old and loves to doze off, which makes the lord of the country smile. ”

The lord of the country said: "The teacher has traveled from Wangcheng in the mountains and has to come here in a few days after arriving in Youcheng, and the teacher is hard. ”

Jing Ci said: "The lord of the country is polite, for the border matter, the old minister thinks that he is still the most suitable person, the main thing is not to find the old minister, the old minister will be sad." ”

The lord of the country said: "When the teacher said this, I was relieved, and I asked the teacher to mediate and withdraw the confrontation between the two armies on the border." ”

Jing Ci said: "The lord of the country, the old minister thinks, this matter needs to be achieved by both sides, for example, if the lord of the country gives up building a dam to stop the water, Dazhi will naturally not send troops to obstruct it." Jingci said this, glanced at the lord of the country, and saw that the lord of the country did not speak, so he asked: "The lord of the country, what do you want the minister to do?"

The lord of the country said, "Teacher, there is a drought in the north of the country, and if there is no water storage, many fields will fail to harvest, and even some people will starve to death." ”

Jing Ci said: "The lord of the country insisted on damming and storing water, resulting in no water downstream, and the land of the Grand Duchy will definitely fail at that time." ”

The lord of the country thought for a while and said: "Teacher, I have asked the prime minister's drainman to measure and calculate, the Grand Duchy will not need so much water, I think it is enough to hold a certain height, store a part of the water, and flow into the tributaries of our country, which will ensure that the Grand Duchy will be given enough agricultural water, after all, the water they can't use up will also flow to the sea in vain." ”

Jingci heard the lord of the country say this, it really makes sense, if the water is all gone, Dazhi Country will indeed have no water available, and the water that the Grand Duchy can't use up is also a waste.

Jing Ci relaxed a lot, and said, "My lord, according to what you said, I summoned the envoy of the Grand Duchy and asked the two sides to negotiate, and the key to the negotiation is at this level, I will personally check and negotiate the height of this barrage, so that both sides will not lack water." ”

When the lord of the country heard Jingci say this, he laughed and said, "I still have to rely on the teacher." ”

Jing Ci hurriedly said: "The lord of the country has won the award, and this matter is just the most suitable for the minister." ”

After chatting with the lord of the country for a while, Jing Ci said: "The lord of the country, I met with the prime minister yesterday, and in addition to talking about the matter of the Zhigong River, I also talked about the matter of the Heavenly Wolf Gang. Jing Ci looked at the lord of the country and did not speak, and continued: "The play of several children finally reached the point where the water and fire of a country and a local power are incompatible, and it is not worth it. ”

The lord of the country said, "What does the teacher think?"

When Jing Ci saw that the lord of the country was questioning, he said: "There is no way to do what has happened, and now the confrontation between the two sides is even more unfavorable to our country, they can retreat on the mountain, but we need a lot of troops to defend, and the whole cost is very large." ”

The lord said, "What the teacher said is that the whole of me knows it, and the whole court knows about it, but there is no feasible way. The teacher is very knowledgeable and has many disciples, so help me think about it. The last word "think" raised the tone of the lord, meaning that Jing Ci said that there was no way.

Seeing that the lord of the country said this, Jing Ci said bluntly: "The key to the problem now is You Shengjie, as long as this You Shengjie wakes up, he will be willing to take a step back to negotiate, I still believe that he is a person who takes the overall situation into account." ”

The lord asked, "What if he never wakes up, or even dies?"

Jing Ci's heart also sank a little, yes, what if he really died. Jing Ci replied: "If this is the case, then it can only be done by a strong man to break his arm, and both sides will lose." ”

The lord of the kingdom asked, "Why did the strong man break his arm?"

Jing Ci looked at the lord of the country, gritted his teeth and said: "Build a wall, tear down bridges and destroy roads, destroy all the roads going down the mountain, set up checkpoints on the main road down the mountain that cannot be destroyed, repair passes, and make preparations for a long-term confrontation." ”

The lord of the kingdom slapped the table and said, "Okay." is worthy of being my teacher, who can be literate and martial, soft and strong. The lord of the country stood up and took two steps and said, "I have also thought of these two methods, but I am still not satisfied, and I finally thought of a bold method, and the teacher will see if it works." ”

Jingci asked, "Lord of the country, please speak." ”

The lord of the country picked up a pen and wrote two words on the paper: "Zhao'an." ”

When Jing Ci saw these two words, he suddenly thought of a person, and thought of Jing Cicheng, but he didn't say it, just looked at the two words on the paper.

Seeing that Jingci looked at the words on the paper and didn't speak, the lord asked, "What does the teacher think?"

Jing Ci said: "It is indeed a very bold idea, if it succeeds, it will naturally be a blessing for Dazhiguo." "The latter words should be that it is very difficult to recruit An, and the possibility of success is very small, Jingci did not say this.

The lord of the country said with a smile: "I want to hand over the unsuccessful sons to the teacher for training, so I will take this recruitment as the assessment point, if anyone succeeds in recruiting security, I will appoint whoever is the prince of Dazhiguo." What does the teacher think? ”

Jing Ci smiled and said, "Lord of the country, the old minister can't teach anymore. ”

The lord of the country said softly: "The teacher doesn't need to teach, I let the teacher adjust, in fact, it's just a fair judgment, my ministers will be biased, but you won't, teacher, this is the point." ”

When Jingci heard this, it seemed that he couldn't pass the buck, so he bowed, "The old minister obeys the order." ”
