Chapter 259: Counterattack
The controversy in the imperial study in the afternoon, as Prime Minister Shi said, was full of gunpowder from the beginning.
The chief minister Mo Yang took the lead, "Your Majesty, the purpose of this person is already known, it is nothing more than to say that the situation in Biyu City is unstable, and Jinpeng Fort will either fall to the Central Plains, or take refuge in Beiting, thus threatening the security of Shule Kingdom, he wants to replace Dubu King with Daxue Mountain, hoping to get His Majesty's support, borrowing money, borrowing food, borrowing and borrowing soldiers, in short, a borrowed word, and there is a borrowed word." ”
Fang Wen was shocked in his heart, the old guy guessed his thoughts to eighty and ten, and his refusal to make a statement in the morning turned out to be a test of the military situation, the scholar shook his tail and said with a smile: "Let's not talk about my purpose, as far as the adults can see, is Jinpeng Castle as stable as Mount Tai?"
"Whether Jinpeng Fort is stable or unstable, my king has his own way to deal with it, but it's you, an ownerless strategist, who gives money to say good things for whom, can you really think about the sake of Shule Country? Your Majesty doesn't need to hesitate, this son's intentions are sinister, nothing more than lying and intimidating, and taking advantage of the opportunity to make profits. This will be driven out, and wait for the army of this dynasty to destroy the snow bandits, and then see if he is still loyal. ”
Still silent, he had been trained as an emperor since he was a child and knew how important it was to remain silent when there was a dispute between his courtiers.
Fang Wen clapped his palms and shouted "good" three times in a row, the sound was loud, which startled Moyang, and King Shule's body shook slightly, the scholar actually had no intention, just used this short period of time to sort out his thoughts, "The adult is worthy of being a gentleman, and he is very right." There are some things that cannot be said in the court, there are few people here, and there is no record of historians, so there are things to say directly. Fang has been studying hard for more than ten years, full of economy, and naturally wants to sell and know people, but every word I say is not a 'lie', as the saying goes, 'it is convenient for others and convenient for oneself', since I am the messenger of the Great Snow Mountain, I naturally want to speak for the Great Snow Mountain, but if it is not good for Shule, I dare not speak. ”
Mo Yang snorted, and was about to open his mouth to refute, but Fang Wen sped up his speech and continued, "Loyal ministers may not have loyalty, the world is like a chess game, and the bystanders are clear." Caring about loyalty and disloyalty, not listening to the words of non-confidants, it is tantamount to closing your words and listening, your lord is known as the king's teacher, is the way of loyalty is Du Youyou's mouth, so that Your Majesty only listens to one person?"
Mo Yang's face was swollen and red, he raised his hand and pointed at Fang Wenshi, and said sharply: "You say that I blinded the Holy Hearing?"
Fang Wen bowed slightly, "Don't dare, what Fang means is that sometimes good intentions do bad things, and the old man's loyalty is enough, so I am afraid that if I am too loyal, it will cause Your Majesty not to hear the news that should be heard." ”
Mo Yang was furious, instantly controlled his emotions again, and sneered: "What a 'loyalty is harmful', Your Excellency is going to say 'disloyal words' next?"
"If you listen to it, you can see that there is also merit in 'disloyal words'. ”
Moyang glanced at the king and tilted his head to the side, "See what you can say." ”
Fang Wen coughed twice, and continued along the morning's train of thought, "The location of Biyu City is critical, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the center of the Western Regions, connecting Shule in the west, Beiting in the north, the Central Plains in the east, and more than 20 countries in the south. Decades ago, the countries disputed, Jinpeng Fort took advantage of the chaos, to the killer of the world, to the Quartet to settle, only Biyucheng disputed, the Central Plains, Beiting almost rekindled the war for this, the critical moment, the first king of Shule put forward a suggestion, the three kingdoms to manage the Biyucheng, to avoid the border of the big countries, there are many less disputes, but let the power of Jinpeng Fort swell, in fact, occupy hundreds of miles of land in the east and west, only a real king. ”
"As a scholar, I remember a lot of things from the past. Moyang sarcastically said that his opponent had not yet reached the point, and he had nothing to refute.
"The Three Kingdoms Wheel Tube, in fact, is equivalent to the Three Kingdoms no matter what, everyone knows that the city governor is a fat shortage, 'don't speak for three years, and bring ten thousand gold when you leave', what you are talking about is the city governor. Jinpeng Fort relied on the three kingdoms to suppress each other to dominate one side, so any change in any country would make it difficult for the Dubu King to sleep. The lord just said that Jinpeng Fort would choose between Beiting and the Central Plains, which is a little inappropriate, and it really underestimates the ambition of King Dubu, and all signs show that the Shangguan family wants to really claim the throne before the chaos in the Western Regions and monopolize Biyu City. At that time, according to the danger of the Tianshan Mountains, the Central Plains guards the desert of Liao, and only Shule is connected to the mountains and rivers in the Three Kingdoms, and there is an extra tiger and wolf on the side of the couch. ”
"King Dubu wants to be the real king? Haha, joke, his king title is the same as your master's 'King of the Five Peaks', he is self-proclaimed, and it is impossible for all countries to recognize it, Shule was the first to disagree. Moyang was much more down-to-earth, this scholar went around in circles for a long time, and finally came to a conclusion that was still nonsense.
Fang Wen said coldly, "What if Beiting admits it?"
"More unlikely. Mo Yang shook his head again and again, and his heart became more and more bottom-up, "When the first king proposed the wheel management of Biyu City, Beiting was the most unwilling, you also said, Beiting and the Western Regions are separated by the danger of the Tianshan Mountains, Shangguan is the king, once the east and west mountain passes are blocked, the Central Plains may also come from afar across the Gobi Desert, but Beiting will completely lose its entrance and be isolated from the Western Regions." ”
Fang Wen smiled slightly, and turned to the silent King Shule, "What a coincidence, what the monarch said is exactly what Fang Mou thought, but the conclusion is diametrically opposite, the old Khan King of Beiting is seriously ill, several princes are openly vying for the throne, civil strife is about to break out, and there is no strength left to compete with the Central Plains at this time." So, what is the best choice? Naturally, it is to build a country of servants in the Western Regions and take care of the two mountain passes for Beiting. Looking at the Western Regions, what country cares more about the Central Plains' invasion of Biyu City than Jinpeng Castle? The old man felt that Fang was alarmist, but he didn't know that there were tigers and wolves around him, and once Shangguan Fa obtained the king's title, he would inevitably take advantage of the situation to move westward, and the Shule country would be in danger. ”
"Hmph, Mr. Fang is really thinking about the Shule country, every sentence is not separated from the destruction of the country, in the morning he said that the Central Plains was violated, and in the afternoon he talked about Jinpeng being the king, but it seems that people are swords and I am fish and meat, and my country has no power to fight back. You said that Shangguan Fa has the intention of being the king, but is there any evidence?"
"Evidence?" Fang Wen held his head high, and said in a slightly disdainful tone: "The current governor of Biyucheng is a native of Shule State, and his three-year term will expire, and he will return to the country in a few days, please ask Your Majesty to investigate, whether the 'peace charm' received by this person is far superior to that of his predecessor, and the evidence that Shangguan Fan intends to be the king is in the hands of this person." Also, the governor of Biyu City was originally a Qing position, and the people who were routinely selected by various countries were all idle nobles, if what Fang said was right, in the next three years, the governor sent by Beiting would be a royal family with real power. ”
Mo Yang still shook his head, and also turned to King Shule, "Your Majesty, according to this person, all the countries in the world, even Jinpeng Fort, which has not yet obtained the title of king, are enemies of our country, isn't this alarmist? Even if the Shule country is in trouble, a group of barbarians in the Great Snow Mountain can change the situation in the Western Regions?"
"The powerful one, intricate, and the whole body will be affected by one hair, and the Great Snow Mountain will naturally not be able to shake the situation in the Western Regions, but as long as you find a place to be willing and go down, you can win thirty years of stability for the Shule Kingdom. ”
Mo Yang was just about to refute, but King Shule raised his right hand in a rare way to prevent the monarch from speaking, and let the envoy of the Great Snow Mountain continue.
Although the king has the final decision, he rarely shows his tendencies in the debate, so his move surprised Moyang, but Fang Wenshi was greatly encouraged, "Biyu City is Kenqing, the Central Plains is ready to complete, it will definitely strike first, and the Western Regions will be returned to the emperor's ownership; ”
"Jinpeng Castle has ambitions, doesn't the Great Snow Mountain?"
Fang Wen laughed twice, "Yes, there is no one in the world who has no ambitions, but most of the ambitions cannot be realized, Jinpeng Fort has occupied Biyu City for more than 30 years, Shangguan Fa dared to take the step of being the real king, the Great Snow Mountain attacked Jinpeng Fort thousands of miles away, and the foundation behind it was all under the control of Shule, even if he was ambitious, how could he dare to do it? Your Majesty is clear, there is no lie in Fang's mouth, and the eternal alliance sounds good, it is better to hold the handle firmly, and the handle of the Great Snow Mountain is in the hands of His Majesty. ”
Mo Yang opened his mouth to laugh at the scholar, but when the words came to his mouth, he changed his mind again, and said to King Shule: "Your Majesty, what this son says is false and true, and you must not be deceived by him. At present, the situation is extremely clear, the big snow mountain in Shule country seems to have a pain on the back, this disease is not removed, there is no time to look east, now the five peaks are one, it is a good opportunity to completely eradicate it, only 50,000 troops, can be eliminated forever. The snowy mountain is weak, after all, it is not the opponent of Jinpeng Castle, and it is tantamount to driving sheep and fighting tigers, which is neither false nor profitable, and must not. ”
"Junshi's words are bad, the Western Regions are three-legged, Shule is the weakest, the Central Plains and Beiting can forcibly take Biyu City, only Shule can't, this is a move to set fire to the body, and the Snow Mountain is in the name of revenge......"
Fang Wen still had a stomach to say, and was once again interrupted by the eunuch beside King Shule, "It's not early, please rest the envoy, and we will discuss it in three days." ”
The envoy of the Great Snow Mountain was invited out of the imperial study, but Moyang stayed behind and had a private conversation with the king of Shule.
Fang Wen glanced at the bright sun, his heart was not as confident as at the beginning, as soon as he left the palace, he whispered to the dragon king who pretended to be a swordsman of the Great Snow Mountain: "The king was moved by me, it is that Moyang, I'm afraid it will be a trouble." ”
This is the same as Prime Minister Shi Cheng reminded in advance, Gu Shenwei is facing stubborn obstacles on the way forward, the swordsmen must leave the Great Snow Mountain, stay in place and sooner or later consume their strength, but they can't touch Jinpeng Castle at all.
In the afternoon of the same day, Xu Xiaoyi passed the message on his behalf, and in the second watch at night, Gu Shenwei went to visit Prime Minister Shi Cheng alone, which was an adventure, and Prime Minister Shi Cheng showed goodwill with practical actions, he prepared a secret room, and discussed with the Dragon King for a long time, during which he put his heart in his heart, analyzed the interests and disadvantages, and made the other party have to agree to his plan.
When Gu Shenwei left the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was already the middle of the night, but he still woke up the military advisor and discussed with him whether Prime Minister Shi Cheng's intentions were credible or not.
Fang Wen was pacing back and forth in his pajamas, thinking for a long time, "I'm afraid this is the only choice." ”
Gu Shenwei knew this, but the habit he had developed over the years allowed him to smell the smell of conspiracy from anyone's advice, and Prime Minister Shi wanted to borrow the Dragon King's knife to kill King Shule and Moyang together, and there were things that the killer didn't like.
