In the Bishui Pavilion, Xiao Wenxuan played with the glass for a while. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Seeing that Concubine Zhen still looked worried, she comforted: "But you don't have to worry, the barbarians going south is a major matter of the country, I won't be a child's play, if the king of Qi can't hold on, I will let the king of Wei send troops to help, this west is the king of Yong, the south is the king of Wei, if you can't resist, there is also my Praetorian Guard." ”

Concubine Zhen originally wanted to say that King Wei may not be reliable, but she suddenly swallowed these words, which was just Queen Zhao's words.

Speaking out at this time, there is no tangible evidence that will definitely anger Xiao Wenxuan, after all, Xiao Wenxuan has always trusted King Wei very much.

"If this is the case, the concubine will be at ease, and all that is left is to look at this providence, I just hope that the emperor can support Ming'er more." Concubine Zhen said softly.

Xiao Wenxuan nodded, as if he didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, but pointed to the goblet and said, "By the way, did King Qi say what this cup is used for?" Is it also an ornament? ”

"Ming'er said that this is for drinking, and he said that this glass can see the transparency of Drunken Qingzhou." Concubine Zhen said.

Xiao Wenxuan seemed to like the glass very much, and he couldn't put it down, "Well, that's a good thing, it's indeed a wonderful thing for drinking, but it seems to be too little." ”

"What's so hard about that?" Concubine Zhen smiled: "The concubine asked him to send some more." ”

"It's not proper, Qingzhou is facing such a dangerous situation now, and I will take his things for nothing." Xiao Wenxuan said.

Concubine Zhen smiled: "What the emperor said today is worth countless glasses, how can it be taken for nothing." ”

Xiao Wenxuan laughed when he heard this, this concubine Zhen has always been smart, and her speech is also extremely pleasing.

After lingering in the Blue Water Pavilion for a while, Xiao Wenxuan left with the glass.

Even so, he still wanted to help Xiao Ming, after all, the barbarian southward movement was not Xiao Ming's business alone, but related to the safety of the Great Chongqing Kingdom.

But it was only a letter three days later, and he knew what Xiao Ming needed now.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you have also read the excerpt of the King of Qi, the evidence of the barbarian collusion with the Qingzhou Hao clan to attack Cangzhou in the autumn is conclusive, what should be done about this matter?"

In the Chengqing Palace, Xiao Wenxuan sat on the throne, under the steps, and the ministers were on both sides.

The civil officials on the left, the military attache on the right, and the princes such as the crown prince are listed in the front.

"Your Majesty, the annual tribute demanded by the barbarians has increased year by year, and Youzhou and other places have also been ceded to the barbarians, and the barbarians are still not satisfied, and they will still be eyeing my Dayu country, which shows the ambition of the barbarian wolf, and the heart of my Dayu country will not die.

A minister in a purple robe stepped forward, his voice impassioned.

As soon as his words fell, another minister came out and said: "General Luo Quan's words are wrong, the barbarians are fighting this time, but they just want to increase the number of annual tribute, which has been the case in previous years, and they only need to give some silver to send it. ”

"Doctor Cui, this is another New Year's tribute, is the New Year's Tribute less than these years? The barbarians are afraid of power but not virtue, the tribute given over the years not only did not make the grassland people grateful to Dade, but it made the grassland people more soldiers, stronger horses, sufficient grain and grass, and sharp swords, but I am afraid that the more tribute this year, the more unstoppable the barbarian army will become, and after a few years, the Great Yu Kingdom will be destroyed and extinguished, not just to say, at that time, you Cui Hao will definitely leave a stench for 10,000 years. Luo Quan glared angrily and scolded.

Cui Hao's face turned red, and he also said angrily: "General Luo really doesn't know how expensive rice, oil and salt are, how much silver will cost to fight this battle, have you calculated?" How many soldiers and generals will be killed and wounded? The most important thing is that you can't beat it? With the sharpness of King Zhao's soldiers and horses, he is still at a disadvantage, who can fight with the barbarians in Cangzhou. ”

"That is, if it weren't for the annual tribute, when King Zhao Liangzhou was besieged, would the barbarians withdraw their troops?"

"A bunch of cowards, it is you who have raised the barbarians into today's power, killing talents!"

"Stupid Warrior!"

“……”

As the two quarreled, the court became a pot of porridge, and the ministers attacked each other.

"Don't say anything!" Xiao Wenxuan said angrily, as before, every time the barbarian clan is mentioned, the minister will always be divided into two factions: the main battle and the main peace.

Since he ascended the throne, the more powerful the barbarians were, and at that time his ascension to the throne was not stable, and the barbarians took advantage of the situation to come, Lianke Youzhou and other places.

Having lost the important pass of Shanhaiguan, he had to negotiate with the barbarian appeasement in exchange for time to stabilize the throne by ceding cities in Youzhou and other places.

At the same time, the city of Cangzhou was rebuilt to resist further invasion by the barbarians, because he knew that even if these cities were not ceded to the barbarians, they would not be able to keep them, and he would also face the risk of losing Qingzhou and even the area north of the Yangtze River.

In addition, the king of Wei tried hard to persuade at that time, and he was afraid of the barbarians in his heart, and finally promised to pay tribute to the barbarians every year in the advice of the lord and faction.

Originally, there was nothing to do with this, but the barbarians were not greedy enough, even if they took the annual tribute, they still continued to intrude, and asked for the annual tribute many times, and this annual tribute gradually became a heavy burden on the Great Chongqing State.

And when the throne was stable, he turned back, the barbarians holding the annual tribute became more and more powerful, and the Great Yu Kingdom became weaker and weaker, and the voice of the lord and faction of the court and the central government had the upper hand.

He knew the fear in the hearts of these ministers, and this was his fear, for it was better to spend some money than to lose glory and wealth.

But now that the barbarians have invaded again, he has no way to retreat, but to end the war with war.

The ministers were cheered by Xiao Wenxuan, and they all stopped.

At this time, Xiao Wenxuan said: "King Qi said very clearly, this time the barbarians colluded with the Qingzhou Hao clan to jointly capture Cangzhou, it can be seen that the barbarians have been planning for a long time, this time the purpose is not to pay tribute, but to take Cangzhou to threaten the hinterland of the Central Plains, this land south of the Yangtze River, the rich hometown is the source of food and money in the Great Chongqing Kingdom, if it is lost, the Great Chongqing Kingdom is in danger." ”

"The emperor is wise, this rich land in the south of the Yangtze River cannot be lost." A minister shouted.

"The emperor is wise." Luo Quan clenched his fists and said.

At this time, the second prince said: "Father, this matter needs to be cautious, the barbarians have always liked to attack the east and the west, maybe this attack on Cangzhou is just a false shot, the real purpose may not be Cangzhou, even if you want to fight, you can't put all your troops into Qingzhou, but you should let the king of Qi defend Cangzhou first, and we wait for it to change." ”

"Let the King of Qi guard Cangzhou? Could it be that the second brother forgot that the king of Qi fled back to Chang'an three years ago? At this time, the four princes suddenly spoke sarcastically.

As soon as these words were spoken, the ministers in the palace all showed ridicule.

"So the fourth brother is willing to go to Cangzhou?" The crown prince squinted his eyes and glanced at the four princes, and said lightly.

The fourth prince's face turned pale, "I didn't say that, after all, this Qingzhou is the fief of the King of Qi, and it is inconvenient for outsiders to interfere." ”
