"How can an ambitious man be willing to be a minister all the time? Therefore, Emperor Yan will certainly betray the alliance. At that time, his majesty will be able to attack the state of Yan and pacify the world. "

"I see." Zhang Jin suddenly realized and said with emotion: "I can't imagine that there are so many mysteries hidden in a short sentence. If it wasn't for Zhang Xiang, I would never have thought of my humble position in my whole life."

Zhang Qiling smile, "well, go back, there should be news tomorrow."

On the other hand, as soon as Zhang Qiling left, he immediately ordered his confidant ministers to come to the palace for consultation. There were three people, namely, the Prime Minister Wang Qian, the Minister of the Ministry of household Yu Tong, and the General Chen Yijing.

After knowing the whole story, Chen Yijing was the first to object, "no way. It took a hundred years for our Dayan to have the foundation today since the founding of emperor Taizu. How can we give it to the Northern Zhou Dynasty? It's absolutely impossible."

Yu Tong sighed: "but if your majesty does not agree, Emperor Zhou will tell emperor Chu about the spy. At that time, the two countries will surely go to war, and their lives will be ruined. Moreover, there is a great disparity between China and Western Chu. Once a war begins There is no doubt that he will be defeated. "

"Not necessarily!" Chen Yijing hummed coldly: "although the national strength of the Western Chu is stronger than ours, there are also many enemies. Which is the fuel-saving lamp in the Northern Zhou Dynasty or the state of Qi, and which can really accommodate the Western Chu?"

Yu Tong hesitated and said, "that's what I said, but In the end, the risk is too big, or have to consider in the long run

"No matter how we think about it, we must not lose our century old foundation." With that, Chen Yijing arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to defend Dayan to the death with your majesty!"

Seeing that Chen Yijing and himself were against each other, Emperor Yan was displeased and said calmly, "it's rare for Chen Qing to be loyal, but as Yu Qing said, this matter needs to be considered in the long run." Then he turned his eyes and looked at Wang Qian with his eyes half closed. "Where's the prime minister?"

Wang Qian raised his eyelids, arched his hand and said, "I would like to inform your majesty that it is a good policy to form an alliance with the Northern Zhou Dynasty."

Before Emperor Yan spoke, Chen Yijing was already angry and said, "as a prime minister, you should share your worries for your majesty. How can you abandon your country and your majesty because of a little danger?"

Wang Qian was not angry either. He stroked his half white beard and said, "General Chen's words are not good. It is because I have taken care of your majesty and the people in dayanjiang mountain that I suggest your majesty agree to form an alliance."

Chen Yijing sniffed at his words, "it's obviously an excuse!"

Wang Qian did not argue with him, but said to Emperor Yan: "Your Majesty, now the chaos has appeared. On impulse, it will only bring the disaster of subjugation to the state of Yan. It is absolutely not advisable."

Emperor Yan nodded, "how can I make a decision according to the king's opinion?"

Wang Qian said with a low eyebrow: "with respect, your majesty is ambitious, but our Dayan land is too small to be compared with other countries. If we want to survive in this chaotic situation, we must find a strong enough alliance. Western Chu was a good choice originally, but as Zhang Qiling said, the emperor of Chu was too ambitious. If he really let him destroy the Northern Zhou Dynasty in the future, we would be next. As for the state of Qi, I believe we had the same idea. In the past, we were forced to make an alliance with them. So if we had to make a choice, the Northern Zhou Dynasty It's more appropriate. At least the emperor of Zhou has his word. "

This is exactly what Emperor Yan meant. He nodded his head and said, "what the prime minister said is true."

Seeing that Emperor Yan inclined to Wang Qian, Chen Yijing said, "Your Majesty can't do it. The Chu emperor is sinister, and the Zhou emperor is not a good friend. On the surface, he is in alliance. In fact, he wants to accept the Yan kingdom without any cost. Once he agrees, there will be no Yan Kingdom and no more..." He looked up at Yandi and said, "there is no Yandi."

Wang Qianhua raised his eyebrows and said in a cold voice, "General Chen, this is not true."

Chen Yijing, holding his breath, arched his hand and said, "please give me the advice of Prime Minister Wang."

"As a big man, you should be flexible and compromise for a brighter future." With that, Wang Qian knelt down and said solemnly, "please bear the humiliation for a while. After the chaos, I will do my best to help your majesty regain the throne and expand the territory, just like my predecessors."

Emperor Yan came down and helped him up. "How can I not believe the prime minister? Please get up quickly." Then he said with emotion: "when my father was alive, he taught me more than once that anyone could not believe, that is, he could not believe the royal family; without the royal family, there would be no Yan today."

Wang Qian's face was full of fear and said, "Your Majesty is very serious. The Wangs have been ministers of the state of Yan from generation to generation. They should devote themselves to your majesty and the state of Yan and die."

A hundred years ago, the ancestors of the Wang family followed the first generation of the Yan Emperor to fight in the East and West. They were the founding ministers of the country. Their descendants were all the important ministers of the Yan state and assisted the emperors of the past dynasties. About thirty years ago, some people in the royal family started to fight for chaos. It was a general of the Wang family who led less than 10000 soldiers to fight a bloody battle to calm the rebellion and keep the throne of the last Emperor Yan.

Seeing that Emperor Yan was leaning towards Wang Qian, Chen Yijing stamped his feet and blurted out: "Your Majesty, the prime minister is old and confused. How can you even be confused?" As soon as the words came out, he knew that he had said something wrong. Sure enough, Emperor Yan's face became extremely ugly in an instant, and he said, "yes, I am confused with the prime minister, only Chen Qing is the most sober."Chen Yijing knelt down in a hurry and said in a flustered voice: "I have lost my word for a while. Please punish your majesty."

Emperor Yan leaned over and said, "how dare I treat Lord Chen for your sin?"

Chen Yijing was cold and sweaty, and his fingers were nervously clenched between the bricks. "I deserve to die, but I meant to be for your majesty and for the good of Zhou."

Emperor Yan stood up and looked down at him coldly, "do you think I don't know your mind? You always think that you are good at both literature and martial arts, and you are not willing to be inferior to the prime minister and fight a war But Chen Yijing, I tell you, war is not so easy

Chen Yijing was very surprised and said in a hurry: "I have no such idea. Please see clearly!"

"Enough!" Emperor Yan brushed his sleeve impatiently and said, "I don't care what your thoughts are. In a word, from now on, you should shut your mouth for me!"

Chen Yijing didn't know what to say, so he could only say over and over again: "Your Majesty, think twice! Your majesty, think twice

Emperor Yan was more and more annoyed by what he said. He said angrily: "step down, I don't want to see you again!"

"Your Majesty..."

"Back off!" Under the rebuke of Emperor Yan, Chen Yijing had to withdraw from the main hall. Wang Qian arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, calm down. I believe that General Chen is also loyal, but he has different ideas. In time, he will understand your Majesty's difficulties."

Emperor Yan hummed coldly: "just his little nineties, that is to say, they are loyal. They are insulting these four words." Then he turned his eyes and said, "where's Yu Aiqing?"
