The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 218

[Chapter 218 The Battle for Marriage]

When Yang Zheng, the Minister of Rites, heard this, he frowned slightly, glanced at the general, and wanted to say something, but in the end he did not speak.

Emperor Chu remained calm, looked at the other ministers present, and asked, “What do you think? You can speak freely about today’s events.”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere became a little heated.

Suddenly, the entire Nuan Pavilion was filled with the impassioned words of those generals.

At this moment, a figure slowly stood up.

The discussion gradually weakened.

Yang Zheng, the Minister of Rites, stood up, walked to the middle position, bowed to the Emperor of Chu upright, and said: “Your Majesty, I think that the marriage with the Qiyan Department needs to be discussed with the civil and military officials at the court meeting. After that, make a decision.

After all, this matter is not a trivial matter. If it can be done, our Chu border will be worry-free for a hundred years. This is the blessing of the world and the blessing of the people.”

When the general who spoke before heard his words, his face showed dissatisfaction. Colorful, he said: “How did Mr. Yang know that this marriage would make the borderland worry-free for a hundred years?

How did those prairie barbarians pay attention to the marriage?

Furthermore, if they were really sincere, why did they gather a hundred thousand cavalry to march on the border? Want to invade my country, Chu?”

The Minister of Rites glanced at the general and said slowly: “This is a means of negotiation. You yourself once said that the people in the grassland are barbarians, so naturally you don’t know much about the etiquette of our country. “

I believe that as long as the marriage is completed, the 100,000 cavalry will retreat.” The general

looked at Yang Zheng and said, “I have been guarding the border for more than ten years, and I am more concerned about those grassland barbarians than Lord Shangshu.” They know a lot.

Their attitude shows that they did not take the marriage seriously in the first place. Once the marriage is

completed

, these 100,000 cavalry will turn their heads to attack the other tribes in the grassland who are not convinced by the Qiyan tribe.

If things don’t work, they will invade our Dachu border.”

Before he could speak, he was interrupted by Yang Zheng: “This is just your imagination.”

“Yang Zheng!”

When the other generals heard this, their faces showed. Angry look.

There were even some people with hot tempers who roared angrily.

Yang Zheng looked indifferent to this, as if he was not the one being glared at.

“That’s enough!”

Emperor Chu looked at the scene that was happening below and gave a sharp shout. He said in a cold voice: “I let you come and discuss the countermeasures with your envoys. This is not a shrew.

How unbecoming are you to look like this!”

“I will die forever.”

When these ministers heard this, they stood up quickly and saluted and apologized.

When the Emperor of Chu saw this scene, his brows relaxed a little, waved his hands, and said: “You are all our important ministers of Chu. No matter what ideas you put forward, it is for the sake of the court and the people of Chu, so that you can be kind to each other.” “

I understand.”

The ministers saluted again.

Emperor Chu nodded, and then, as if he thought of something, he looked at Fang Xiu, who was standing at the back, and asked: “Fang Xiu, what do you think about this matter?”

After hearing this, Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Have a rest?

Although a fledgling boy won the first place in the review and led the right wing Lin Wei to win the first place in the pro-military review, what mature advice can he give on such a major event.

Why didn’t Your Majesty even ask the three bachelors in the cabinet, but directly asked this young boy?

For a moment, everyone looked at Fang Xiu in a strange way.

Fang Xiu was also very surprised by Emperor Chu’s sudden question.

He originally just wanted to stand back quietly, but when the time came, the group of guys discussed a rough result so that he could go back home for dinner. Unexpectedly, he was suddenly asked.

Moreover, the three old guys in the cabinet who couldn’t be more shrewd didn’t say anything. What could they say? Their

hearts were racing, but they still stood up. After saluting, they said: “I am thinking about something.

If this time After the marriage is completed, will the prairie people really stop invading our Chu country’s border?

I think there are two answers to this question.

The first is that they tore up the treaty and invaded our Chu country’s border again regardless of the marriage. The question of whether to marry or not does not exist.

Secondly, I have another question:

how

long can this peaceful state last?

Year?

Ten years?

A hundred years?

I have never been to the grassland, but I know one thing, that is, the grassland is poor in supplies, especially tea and other daily necessities, which can only be obtained

if we do not invade the border .

, Where did they get these materials?

Therefore, I think that if they do not trade with my country, even if they marry, it will be meaningless.

Within ten years, they will still gather their cavalry to invade my country to obtain it .

resources they need”

Before Fang Xiu finished speaking, Yang Zheng realized the key to it and argued with some urgency: “As you said, if the grassland tribes trade with me, Da Chu, the two countries can maintain peace?”

Fang Xiu heard this. After saying this, he glanced at Yang Zheng with a smile on his face and said, “That’s right.”

Yang Zheng smiled and said, “In this case, the marriage is the best opportunity. There are many brave people in the court. Guarding the border is not difficult.

Even if the grassland people on horseback want to invade the border of our country, it is definitely not easy for

the

tribal leaders of the grassland tribes.

, will send an envoy, hoping to form a friendly alliance with our great Chu.

The imperial court can also take this opportunity to trade with the grassland, and the two countries will conclude a covenant of never invading. The world will be stable and will be just around the corner, which is really a blessing to the people. , The world is lucky!”

As soon as these words came out, even the three bachelors in the cabinet frowned subconsciously.

Several generals were even more angry to the extreme, and some even laughed angrily and said sarcastically: “Master Shangshu really cares about the world and never leaves the people of the world.

I wonder if Master Shangshu knows why the grassland people are called Shengshu.” On horseback?

The grassland is so vast. Lord Shangshu, have you ever thought about why the grassland people did not cultivate such a vast land, but instead invaded our country with war?”

Yang Zheng glanced at the man who spoke. The expression on his face did not change much, and he said calmly: “What the general wants to say, just say it directly. If you beat around the bush like this, you look like a cunning villain.”

“Yang Zheng, don’t bully others too much.” ! “

Finally, the general couldn’t bear it any longer, and his eyes seemed to be on fire as he stared at Yang Zheng.

Seeing that the situation was out of control again, Fang Xiu stood up in time, winked at the general, and said: “General, please calm down. Lord Shangshu has lived in the temple for a long time and does not know much about border affairs. This is human nature. Please give me some advice, General.” Don’t argue with him”
