Chapter 921: The Skylark's Calmness

How big the mercenary appetite is, how strong is the strength, the ministers only now realize that they still know too little, so that they can't make a correct judgment at this time, and naturally they don't know what to say now.

The ministers were silent, and the palace hall could hear a pin drop for a while, and King Poramo was even more angry, and shouted loudly: "What? Are they all dumb? When you usually compete for power and profit, aren't you all able to say it? Why don't you open your mouth now? Say, Speak to the king, or else, put you in prison. ”

When Paramo is angry, the ministers cannot be without an attitude. Right Prime Minister Doon was at the head of the crowd, and he sensed that the time was almost up, so he was the first to stand up. "Your Majesty, the minister has something to say."

"Right phase, speak." Seeing Doon stand up, Borama felt his eyes light up.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Skylark, the representative of the mercenaries, has come to Phnom Penh City, and is now in my mansion, and he has brought the latest news of the loyal and courageous Duke of the Ming Dynasty, and he has asked to meet with His Majesty." Doon said as he looked up at Poramo. And after saying this, he lowered his head, looked at his nose and nose, and looked at his heart as calm as a monk.

He knew what the consequences would be if he said it. But he knew better that he would be fine. Because he represents peace talks, although this is not the king's first choice, but it is also a way out, unless the mercenaries are defeated, otherwise, no one will give up this way easily, this is where his way of life lies.

Sure enough, as soon as he said this, Doon was immediately attacked by all kinds of attacks. What traitors, what internal thieves, and what traitors have all buckled their hats. The meeting of the ministers can be described as the anger of the crowd, and it seems that whoever does not open his mouth and scold a few words now may be a fellow party of Doon.

Among them, especially the left-hand minister Ding Dingwei scolded the most. The last time the mercenaries came to raise troops, he suffered a lot because he misjudged the situation, and he was also old enough to win the king's trust, so he finally kept his position. But since then, he has been clearly at a disadvantage when fighting with the right minister.

Probably becoming the left minister of a country, Ding Dingwei's wisdom goes without saying, he quickly hibernated, and then waited for the opportunity to fight back. Now that the opportunity has appeared, he will never let it go, and immediately began to scold Duon, and after feeling that he was tired of scolding, he clasped his fists and saluted Poramo and said: "Your Majesty, Dunne's heart is no longer here in our Phnom Penh Dynasty now, he is clearly a mercenary spy, undercover." The minister asked His Majesty to order him to be killed, and then besiege the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, and take down the lark on behalf of the mercenary army, and behead him for public display. ”

"Please give your Majesty the order to kill Doon and kill the representative of the mercenaries." The courtiers spoke in unison, their expressions solemn, as if they had some kind of mortal enmity with Doon and the lark.

The officials below were so united that Poramo didn't look happy at all. He knew that this was just that the courtiers were worried that they would cut them down, and now they had another outlet to divert the contradiction.

To say that what Doon did did really annoy him, and secretly interacted with mercenaries without a will, where was this done by a loyal minister? For this reason, it is not an exaggeration to clean up him, but the murder is still avoided, the battle report ahead, the mercenaries have now occupied Suweng City for several days, and there is no intention of attacking, and he just took this opportunity to transfer troops, and if he kills other people's messengers at this time, it is to force the mercenaries to be ruthless, which is equivalent to slapping himself, and he will not do such a thing.

It was precisely because of this psychology of the king that Doon had the courage to say this. Now that the request of the ministers was shouted, and only waiting for Poramo's answer, at this moment Doon also raised his head and looked at their high king.

"Well, why don't the two countries go to war? If you let me kill the messenger, will you not condemn the king to injustice? Yes! Come on, go to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion and bring the mercenary envoy over. Polamo finally made up his mind, and then pretended to rebuke the ministers.

At that moment, many courtiers kept their mouths shut, they did not intend to oppose the right in their hearts, but the situation was such that if they did not stand up and behave, it would be easy for them to be written down and settled.

It is just a matter of shouting slogans with the crowd, and of course it is up to His Majesty to decide what kind of decision he wants. Now that there is a decision, many courtiers have wisely closed their mouths, only the left minister Ding Dingwei still shouted unrelentingly, "Your Majesty, it's okay to see the envoy, but Dun is indeed suspected of communicating with foreign countries, and he must be severely punished, otherwise, everyone will follow the same example, won't the country be chaotic?" ”

"Okay, Zuo Xiang, this king knows everything, let's talk about it when I see the messenger of the loyal and courageous prince." Poramo interrupted Tindingway's request with a remark. He was tempted to figure out what the purpose of the mercenaries was now, and he wasn't going to act rashly until he had an answer.

The hall became quiet again, and after about half an hour, the sound of footsteps finally came from outside the hall, and the people of the king's guard appeared, and behind them there was a middle-aged man in Hanfu, with a calm face and a focused gaze, and he walked forward step by step steadily and powerfully, standing in the middle of the two columns of courtiers. "The courtier's lark has met the king of Phnom Penh and greets you."

"Come and be polite." Parama had suppressed his anger and showed a very calm appearance, after all, he was the king of a country, and his grace could not be lost at will.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The lark, who had not wanted to be saluted, immediately raised his head, and then looked at Porama with a smile.

Borama's gaze at this time also looked at the other party's face, and inevitably looked at each other After insisting for about two breaths, it was Boramo who felt a kind of discomfort first, and gently turned his head to the side and said: "This time, the loyal and courageous prince didn't even say a hello, so he raised an army, killed 100,000 troops, nearly a million people, robbed my city, plundered my wealth, this kind of bandit behavior is shameful, I don't know if there is anything you want to explain?" ”

"Your Majesty is wrong. The reason why the loyal and courageous prince waved his army to the south was entirely because you tore up the previous friendly agreement on mutual trade, set up the borders of the soldiers, and blocked the trade routes. We're just passive, preemptive. In this regard, the lark had already prepared, so when he answered, he did not hesitate at all.

"Passive preemptive strike, haha, joke, big joke." Borama laughed loudly to show the anger in his heart at this moment. This is simply a strong rhetoric, but he also knows that now he is the weak side, and there is no point in continuing to fight, and in Su Weng City, which is three hundred miles away from Phnom Penh City, the mercenaries may be getting ready to go, now is not the time to be reasonable, but to find out what the other party's purpose is.

Laughing, Hiromo quickly stopped laughing, and when he looked at the lark, his voice regained his calm, "Come, will you tell me what your loyal lord wants?" ”

"Okay." The lark agreed, then raised his head and said in an extremely serious tone: "Zhong Dare Gong said, considering that the Phnom Penh Dynasty has rebelled, there is no need to exist, and now only the surrender of the whole country is the way out." Such a loyal and courageous man can ensure everyone's absolute safety, and even some of everyone's personal assets can be protected. ”

"Shut up, bastard." Ding Dingwei, the left minister on the side, finally couldn't hold back anymore and reprimanded loudly. He raised his right hand and pointed at the lark and said, "You loyal and courageous princes want to annex my Phnom Penh dynasty, and he must also have this strength and this appetite." ”

"Hehe, this is Lord Zuo Xiang. Do you have such an appetite for Zhongdan Gong You will know soon, looking at the 100,000 army of your country and several important cities, isn't it also lost in just a few days? Just ask, how many more do you have such an army and such a heavy city? How many more mercenary shocks have you experienced? By the way, there is one thing I forgot to tell you, the Loyal Courage has given you two days to choose to surrender, otherwise, after two days, you will know what is called the siege of the soldiers and what is called despair. ”

"Shut up." Seeing that at this time, the lark was still so ashamed, Ding Dingwei roared angrily, and then turned his head to look at Porama and said: "Your Majesty, this person is disrespectful to you in the main hall, and the minister is willing to punish him for the crime of disrespect and behead him for public display." ”

Ding Dingwei wanted to kill the lark, but the person who was killed had a calm face at the moment, as if he hadn't heard this sentence, and his face was still very calm, as if what they were saying now had nothing to do with him.

The lark was so calm that even the high-ranking Poramo hated it, but he knew very well that this person could not die now. Just like the right Prime Minister Doon's idea just now, this will be a way out for himself. Unless he can gain the upper hand in the situation, he will casually kill the envoy sent by the Loyal Courage, which will be a great enmity of life and death.

On the contrary, not only can you not kill the lark, but you must also protect him, at least until the overall situation is decided, this person cannot have an accident. "The right prime minister is suspected of colluding with foreign countries, but because of insufficient evidence, he is now removed from all his positions, and he is going home to wait, and he is also troubled to follow the right minister to stay in the mansion for a long time, your request will be considered by the king."

Sure enough, there were no killings, some were just house arrest. This result was expected by many people, and the right minister Dun and the messenger lark had already been in their chests, and when they heard this will, they did not distinguish or refute, but just hugged their fists, and the two of them went to the bottom of the hall.
