Daimyo's Mansion, inside the Imperial Palace.

Today's court meeting of the Mingwu Empire can be regarded as a real court meeting.

The ten kings are on the side, the ministers are in the ranks, and the talents of the whole country are all inside and outside the palace.

Zhengyang Emperor Ji Hao sat on the dragon chair and said softly: "Zhong Aiqing is flat." ”

"Emperor Xie!"

After everyone got up, Ji Hao said softly: "If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat." ”

Imperial Prime Minister Niu Zhi immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do." ”

"Please play!"

"Now under His Majesty's rule, the world is peaceful, but there are always people who provoke wars. ”

Niu Zhi raised his head and said: "I beg Your Majesty to severely punish King Ye who has repeatedly provoked civil wars!"

"Oh?"

Zhengyang Emperor Ji Hao raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhao Kuan, and said, "King Ye, is there such a thing?"

"No, I didn't. ”

Zhao Kuan smiled and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, my country is located on the border, and it is a problem to keep soldiers in captivity, where can I have the ability to provoke a war." ”

"Your Royal Highness King Ye, what you said is a bit untrue. ”

Shi Xiaoxuan, the prime minister of the imperial court, almost pinched his throat and said: "As far as I know, four years ago, the former King Ye provoked a dispute between Ye and Qi, causing hundreds of thousands of people to be displaced, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers died on the battlefield, and at the beginning of this year, His Royal Highness King Ye provoked the dispute between Ye and Shu, causing more than a million people to be displaced, and 800,000 people fell in this war, does King Ye still dare not admit it?"

"Why don't you dare?"

Zhao Kuan shrugged his shoulders indifferently, looked at Xiao Xuan, and said: "How is the Yeqi war, it is not our Ye family's business, so I don't bother to explain to you, as for why our country is at war with Qianshu, then let's just ask Brother Shu Wang, because a slap can't make a sound, and the two families make mistakes, and it's not just a matter of one family, right?"

Zhengyang Emperor Ji Hao looked at Wuyang, the king of Shu, and said, "King Shu, what do you think?"

"The minister disagreed. ”

Wu Yang, the king of Shu, came out of the queue and said: "Since King Ye now wants to pull our former Shu into the water, then I have to say that in the past few years, the people of Ye have recruited craftsmen in our country, and at the same time, they have also used our country's business for many years, and I just plan to ask for some business taxes with Brother Ye, but instead of giving, Brother Ye Wangdi not only did not give, but made the army overwhelm the border and slaughtered the people in our country, according to post-war statistics, our country suffered a total of 800,000 casualties of soldiers and civilians. ”

When the words fell, Wuyang, the king of Shu, turned his head to look at Zhao Kuan, and said, "Brother Ye Wang, am I right?"

"Yes. ”

Zhao Kuan chuckled and said: "But Brother Shu Wang, I just succeeded to the throne at the beginning, you, as the eldest brother, don't say that you come to congratulate the younger brother, and the younger brother doesn't mind, right." ”

"And since Brother Shu Wang mentioned the matter of commercial taxes and craftsmen, then I have to talk about it. ”

"The craftsmen of all countries are not private property, they are all from the Mingwu Empire, and even our Ye country is also from the Mingwu Empire, is it possible that I recruit craftsmen in my own country, and it is not okay?"

"If you want to talk about this business tax matter, if Brother Shu Wang could send an envoy to communicate with me, maybe I would have agreed, but you took the lead in seizing our caravan, do you think, what you did right?"

Wuyang, the king of Shu, looked at Zhao Kuan coldly and said, "Then if you slaughter 800,000 people, you think you did the right thing?"

"What do you mean by slaughtering people?"

"Could it be that if there is a war between my country and your country, I still have to protect the safety of your people?"

Zhao Kuan said with an innocent face: "Your people attacked our army with the army, can't our army fight back?"

Zhao Kuan looked at Emperor Ji Hao of Zhengyang and said, "Your Majesty, do you think there is such a reason in this world that you can't fight back when you are beaten?"

"But you shouldn't have slaughtered those people......"

Zhengyang Emperor Ji Hao frowned and said: "This is 800,000 lives, no matter what, you should also make up for the loss of Qianshu......"

"Make up for the loss?"

King Wu Yang of Shu sneered: "I still have two county fiefs in the hands of Brother Ye Wang." ”

"Oh?"

Ji Hao looked at Zhao Kuan and said, "King Ye, this is your mistake, how can you occupy his land if you kill the people of Shu?"

Wu Yang, the king of Shu, added coldly on the side: "Not only that, he also forcibly ordered me to pay him 90 million taels of silver. ”

"And that matter?"

Ji Hao sealed his eyes slightly, and said, "King Ye, I'm afraid this is unreasonable, right?"

"Your Majesty, you are wrong about that. ”

Zhao Kuan still looked so happy, and said: "The land of the two counties was leased to Shu by our Ye State at the beginning, and even now there is a contract signed between the two countries, and the 90 million taels of silver are the military expenses for me and the money for building roads and trade roads in my Ye Kingdom when Brother Shu saw that my Ye Kingdom was barren, which was given to me by Brother Shu Wang, how can it be said that it is not in harmony with the cleanup." ”

Who can say anything after these words?

Even King Wuyang of Shu was only so angry that his face turned red, but he couldn't say a word to refute it.

Because these things are the original facts......

Now the only thing they can control Ye Guo is the massacre of 800,000 soldiers and civilians, but those 800,000 soldiers and civilians are now also said by Zhao Kuan to be people who are attached to the army, and they are not ordinary people at all, and there is a reason for the massacre of the army.

And at the beginning, some of those people also participated in the defense of the city, which is well documented, and some people attacked the Northwest Army that entered Qianshu, which is also a fact.

Therefore, in the end, Ji Hao couldn't say anything about this matter.

Ji Hao took a deep breath and said: "Since this is the case, then I can only say one sentence, His Royal Highness King Ye, in the future, you will let Gu Province have a snack and honestly be optimistic about the northwest gateway, don't provoke a war in your country, the current people have just lived a few good days, and you don't want to start a war, right?"

Hearing this, Zhao Kuan narrowed his eyes.

What Emperor Zhengyang said is interesting.

This is obviously threatening yourself......

However, Zhao Kuan did not reply directly, but said with a smile: "The minister respectfully obeys His Majesty's teachings." ”

Next, Emperor Zhengyang spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you still have something to play?"

"The minister has something to do!"

General Xiang Yong walked out of the crowd and intervened: "The minister and the king of Ye connived at his subordinates, committed murder in the streets, killed the people, and killed the soldiers, causing a bad impact in the capital. ”

"Or King Ye?"

Emperor Zhengyang raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhao Kuan, and said, "His Royal Highness King Ye, how should you explain this matter?"

Zhao Kuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "There's nothing to explain. ”

"Good. ”

Zhengyang Emperor Ji Hao nodded and said, "Where is that person now?"

"It's outside the temple. ”

"Oh......"

Zhengyang Emperor Ji Hao narrowed his eyes and said, "Then bring people in, I also want to see who dares to make trouble in the capital......"

After a short time, Chu Yujia entered the hall.

When Zhengyang Emperor Ji Hao saw Chu Yujia's appearance clearly, he couldn't help but be shocked, and said, "You are the guy who dared to commit murder in the capital?"

"Exactly. ”

Chu Yujia has nothing to deny.

"Are you guilty?"

"Minister, I don't know ......"
