Chapter 1281

On the Jinluan hall, the faces of the courtiers of the southern Wei Dynasty changed greatly and there was an uproar.

"What, is the Western Chu really going to war against the southern Wei Dynasty?"

"Didn't there be any sign before? Now I sent the king of Chu to provoke. It seems to be true!"

"After the Western Chu annexed North Vietnam and Dongwan, I'm afraid it was plotting against me in the southern Wei Dynasty. But now the king of Chu is in the southern Wei Dynasty. Why don't we take the opportunity to catch Nalan night and threaten the Western Chu, and maybe we can counter balance them."

"You are a vegetarian king of Chu, waiting for you to catch him? He is not only proficient in military skills, but also first-class in martial arts. It's useless to send dozens of dead soldiers!"

"Now I'm in trouble. Do you really surrender..."

Listening to all the ministers talking, Mrs. Xiao was expressionless and looked at everyone's expressions one by one.

Worry, fear, anxiety, anger, loss... But she didn't see the confidence, courage and strength to resist all this. She didn't speak until the ministers gradually calmed down. Empress dowager Xiao coughed a few times: "are you sure?"

At the bottom, a minister hesitated for a moment and stood up and said, "tell the Empress Dowager that now the Western Chu is like a rainbow. We shouldn't fight directly with it. We should take detour as the strategy. When the defensive heart of the Western Chu is eliminated, we can try it slowly."

When her eyes narrowed, Empress Dowager Xiao said faintly, "Oh, Wang Shilang, is this your way?"

Wang Shilang said, "yes, Empress Dowager. I think it's not suitable for me to use force in the southern Wei Dynasty, mainly because your Majesty's dragon body is not safe. At least wait until your majesty recovers before we can discuss the matter against the Western Chu. Now it's better to be quiet than moving..."

"Presumptuous!"

Suddenly, Empress Dowager Xiao was furious: "do you mean that it was your Majesty's fault that I was bullied by the Western Chu in the southern Wei Dynasty?"

Wang Shilang jumped in his heart and hurriedly said, "no, no, empress dowager, that's not what Weichen meant. Weichen just wanted to say..."

"Shut up, you should blame your majesty. It's treacherous! Somebody drag Wang Shilang down to the mourning family, beat 50 boards again, demote him to the official position of Shilang in the Ministry of rites as an example!"

Suddenly, several bodyguards with swords rushed in outside the hall, dragging the king's bodyguards who begged for mercy down.

This scene happened so fast that other ministers simply didn't react. Some people have been severely punished. For a moment, the atmosphere in the Jinluan hall was dignified. People looked at me and you. They just felt that the power of heaven was unpredictable. Even the once gentle empress dowager Xiao seemed to have changed.

For a long time, Empress Dowager Xiao, who was excited, gradually slowed down, and her face returned to the previous calm.

After looking at the officials who bowed their heads and said nothing, Empress Dowager Xiao said faintly, "well, go on. Is there anyone else to play?"

As soon as the voice fell, someone stood up.

Ji Hong, the Minister of household, swallowed his saliva and thought like a spring.

This man was his confidant and he signaled to speak.

Whether or not to confront the Western Chu is not the key point. Ji Hong knows very well.

The strength of the southern Wei Dynasty is not strong. It used to be inferior to Dongwan, but now it is inferior to the Western Chu, but it is very embarrassing to talk about strength. If not, I'm afraid that when the former Emperor was there, he would not be able to fight the Western Chu. If North Vietnam was not at the bottom, I'm afraid that the southern Wei Dynasty would be the last of the four countries.

Now the first emperor has gone, and his majesty has just ascended the throne. I thought his Majesty was brilliant, but I didn't expect his health to be so bad.

And

Ji Hong couldn't bear to think of that special woman

He smiled quietly.

Princess Luo qingluan of Chu, this woman is a monster. She is not only fascinated by the famous God of war, the king of Chu, but also their majesty.

It is unknown that the former North Vietnamese emperor also offended Nalan night because of Princess Chu, which eventually led to the destruction of the country. And Dongwan... Although Ji Hong is not sure whether the crown prince's current Dongwan emperor Xiao Yuqi has an affair with the princess of Chu, they used to have a good relationship and close relationship, that's for sure.

Princess Chu, this is a gorgeous woman, otherwise it won't attract a personal hero to be confused by her, which can almost be said to be a figure of all countries and cities.

Now his majesty is ill in bed. Ji Hong knows that it is related to Luo qingluan. Empress dowager Xiao's most important thing now is his Majesty's safety. Just now, Wang Shilang even led the responsibility to his majesty. No wonder it made the Empress Dowager so angry. It's a fool!

Therefore, Ji Hong figured out the holy meaning. As long as he caught empress dowager Xiao's mind, he would be fine.

"Back to the empress dowager, Wei Chen thought that the southern Wei Dynasty should not fight with the Western Chu, and peace should be precious." Fan Changli, the household doctor, said respectfully. Then he lowered his head and showed a smile on his face.

Hehe, this is what Lord Shangshu told him. Naturally, it can't be wrong.

Empress Dowager Xiao's face did not move and said expressionless, "Oh, fan Langzhong, tell me, why?"

"Empress dowager, if the southern Wei Dynasty wants to declare war on the Western Chu, you must first send troops to the border. The troops and horses have not moved, and the food and grass are the first. But you are afraid that you don't know. In fact, there is not much silver in the household. If there is a war on the Western Chu, it will take at least 3 million liang of grain and grass to barely support half a year, but when will it be possible to fight once there is a war It's over. No one can tell. "

Fan Changli talked confidently: "now the Western Chu is powerful. If we want to win, we must take the southern Wei by surprise. Once the Western Chu reacts, we will lose the first chance. But the Western Chu has annexed North Vietnam and made Eastern Wan a subsidiary country. Our strength has greatly increased. The Southern Wei is not an opponent in terms of military strength and financial resources. If we want to fight hard, we will definitely lose."

Empress Dowager Xiao became more and more unhappy. She pressed down her anger and said with a faint look: "according to fan Lang's meaning, how should peace be valued?"

Seeing empress dowager Xiao more and more serious, not only Ji Hong, Even fan Changli said more and more vigorously: "Weichen, the best way is to get married! As long as you marry the Western Chu, you can at least exchange 50 years of peace for the southern Wei Dynasty. With these 50 years, the southern Wei Dynasty will have the opportunity to develop. When the Western Chu takes it lightly, we will attack it unprepared. At that time, the southern Wei Dynasty may still dominate the world!"

"Ha ha ha... What a master of the world. Fan Lang's strategy is really wonderful!"

In front of the officials, Empress Dowager Xiao laughed excitedly, but no one saw the killing in her eyes: "doctor fan, since you proposed a marriage, who should you send? After all, I have no princess in the southern Wei Dynasty, and the only princess ever..."

"Hehe, fan Langzhong, AI family heard that your daughter is just 14 years old and looks beautiful. AI family can call her Tianhe Princess and send her to the southern Wei Dynasty for marriage. What do you think, fan Langzhong?"

When he said it before, fan Changli thought that empress dowager Xiao had really adopted his opinion. However, he didn't know that empress dowager Xiao was angry after hearing Sen Leng's words and sarcasm.

"No, no, no, the empress dowager, the little girl is vulgar and ugly. How can she marry? Please choose someone else..."

"Shut up!"

Empress Dowager Xiao roared, and the gold hairpins on her excited head were shaking: "fan Changli, you put forward the idea. Now AI Jia asked your daughter to make a marriage. Don't you want it? Do you want the daughter of other ministers to make a marriage?"

With that, her eyes fell on Ji Hong, the Minister of household affairs, and her tone was a pick: "Ji Shangshu, your daughter..."

Ji Hong was so flustered that he shook his head like a rattle: "no, Empress Dowager. Although Weichen's daughter has been 15, she was just engaged last month. Weichen is not unwilling to let her go to make a marriage, but this marriage... I hope the Empress Dowager will have mercy on her."

As he spoke, he scolded fan Changli bloody.

"Fan Changli was ill intentioned and bullied the king. Someone came and stripped fan Langzhong's official clothes, dragged him down and cut him down." Empress Dowager Xiao said that her eyes were like a knife and her killing intention was awe inspiring.

At this moment, she was not a woman at all, but the king of a country who lost her mind because of anger.

As fan Changli was dragged down by the bodyguard with a knife, there was a panic in the Jinluan hall.

No one thinks that empress dowager Xiao is talking casually, and no one thinks that casually speaking can perfunctory empress dowager Xiao. Even if her majesty does not face the court, Empress Dowager Xiao, a woman who has experienced two dynasties, has absolute rights at this moment.

There was silence, no one spoke, the atmosphere did not dare to go out, and even the head did not dare to lift up.

"Why, you are all mute?"

"Say, you are all ministers of the southern Wei Dynasty. Why don't you speak at the critical time? Now the king of Chu is threatening the palace, and your Majesty's dragon body is not safe and can't go to the court. Do you want to mourn a woman's family to decide the future of the southern Wei Dynasty?"

"Say! If you don't come up with an idea today, you don't have to go back."

No one has ever seen empress dowager Xiao so murderous. Almost whoever comes out is unlucky. You can't say it. Being a mute can't escape your responsibility.

Ji Hong thought about it for a long time. Seeing that empress dowager Xiao's face became more and more ugly, he finally dared to say, "empress dowager, Wei minister dared to speak..."

Since she can't, does the Empress Dowager mean to stand?

What happens if you guess wrong?

Secretly glancing at empress dowager Xiao's face, Ji Hong said carefully: "Weichen thinks it's better to fight!"

After a meal, take another look at empress dowager Xiao's expression, eh... It doesn't seem to have changed?

Ji Hong slowed down his speech and said tentatively, "the Western Chu is ambitious. If I had been retreating from the southern Wei Dynasty, the result would be like this today. The king of Chu sneaked directly into the southern Wei Dynasty and killed the Guangbo Hou family. It's crazy."

"If they are allowed to be presumptuous, we are the next to die."

"Oh? What does Ji Shangshu mean? Are we going to send troops to the Western Chu in the southern Wei Dynasty?" Empress Dowager Xiao lengthened her voice and said word by word.

To suppress the palpitation, Ji Hong said, "we must send troops! Now your Majesty's dragon body is ill, and the government depends on the assistance of the Empress Dowager. Our ministers should work with one heart and one mind to share your worries. How can we escape like a turtle? The attitude of Western Chu has been incisively and vividly shown from the king of Chu, and it is not something we can or can't change."

Since it can't be changed, fight!

Vaguely felt that he felt the meaning of Empress Dowager Xiao. Ji Hongyue said with more confidence: "I suggest that we'd better catch Nalan night, the king of Chu, and send troops secretly at the same time. We're unprepared to hit western Chu. This is our only chance of winning."

As soon as the voice fell, Empress Dowager Xiao patted the Dragon chair and said, "good, good! That's what mourning for home means!"
