Episode 10 Chapter 3
The person who stood up to support Qiu Zhen was Liang Qi, commander of the Sanshui Army. Read the full text.
Liang Qi said bluntly: "Du Ji is definitely not hostile to our country. I can even assert that Du Ji had the intention to send troops to invade our country."
This statement shocked everyone present. Did Du Ji intend to send troops to Feng Country? Where did Liang Qi figure it out?
Zhang Xin said seriously: "General Liang, this matter is of great importance, you can't make any assumptions!"
Liang Qi said: "When the Ning army invaded the Feng Kingdom, my Sanshui army, on the order of the king, bypassed Du Ji and attacked Tongmen. I wonder if you still remember this?"
The Sanshui Army's sneak attack on Tongmen was a classic tactic of taking the enemy by surprise and attacking them unprepared. It was a great success, and it also directly caused the 400,000 Ning Army to lose their way back home. In the end, the entire army was annihilated in the Feng Kingdom. Regarding this matter, no one present had any idea. Not knowing, everyone nodded in unison, but still looked at Liang Qi in confusion.
Liang Qi continued: "The land where Du Ji and I are bordered by the strong wind are both barren mountains and bad rivers, filled with miasma, making it impossible for humans and animals to cross. However, our Sanshui Army passed smoothly. Do you know the reason?"
"This..." Most of the people present have never experienced it personally, so how can they know the reason?
Shangguan Yuanrang continued: "It is because of the medicinal materials provided by Du Ji. These medicinal materials have the effect of preventing miasma, so our army can successfully pass through the mountains and forests north of Tongmen."
"That's right! What Yuan Rang said is absolutely true!" Liang Qi said quietly: "The territory of Duji is all desert, how can there be a place filled with miasma? Why did Duji prepare so many medicinal materials to prevent miasma? Could it be that Duji knows Unexpectedly, a few years ago, they had planned to form an alliance with our country and help our country to attack Tongmen? This was obviously Du Ji's preparation for sending troops to our country! If I expected it to be true, Du Ji had already sent troops to our country! I mean, it was only later that I saw that the wind was strong, so I saw the wind and formed an alliance with our country. It is difficult to conspire with a barbarian and evil country. Our country sent troops to help Tia defeat Duki and destroy Tia. Your Majesty is wise and must think twice. Let’s go!”
As the commander-in-chief of an army, Liang Qi was known as a genius. The analysis he made carried much more weight than Qiu Zhen's words. Du Ji might never have imagined that when they kindly lent the road to Feng Jun and provided Feng Jun with medicinal materials to prevent miasma, Liang Qi would come to such a conclusion.
There is no way to prove whether the inference made by Liang Qi is right or wrong. Perhaps only King Duji himself knows this.
After listening to Liang Qi's words, Tang Yin and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty all took a breath. Yes, Du Ji is a desert country. Why does it prepare so many medicinal materials to prevent miasma? Could it be that, as Liang Qi said, he had already intended to invade Feng Country? If this is the case, our alliance with it will undoubtedly be a conspiracy against the tiger, let alone sit back and watch it annex Tia.
After Liang Qi finished speaking, the court fell into silence, and everyone frowned and pondered in silence.
Shangguan Yuanji first broke the silence and said: "Even if what General Liang said is true, we have no real evidence. If we send troops to attack Du Ji just because of this, it will be difficult to convince people, and it will also offend the Morpheus Federation. If many city-states in Morpheus Join forces to attack our country, the situation is critical.”
Before Liang Qi could speak, Qiu Zhen said first: "As long as our country can stabilize Bessa, Morpheus will not be able to send troops to our country."
Besa is the largest and most powerful kingdom in the Morpheus Federation, and it is also the actual country in power. If Besa can ignore the Feng Kingdom's violation of the covenant and send troops to help Tia and Duji fight, that would of course be the best, but Besa will Do this? Shangguan Yuanji sighed softly and said: "Although the trade between our country and Besa has increased and the ties are close, this is not enough for Besa to help the wind and not Duji."
"That's right!" Qiu Zhenda nodded, smiled slightly, and said: "So, the king has to come forward in this matter. As long as the king nods and agrees to something, Besa will not only help me, but also will do it for decades to come. Be my most reliable ally and supporter."
oh? Is there such a good thing? Everyone's eyes lit up and they all turned to Tang Yin.
Tang Yin was listening to their analysis with great interest, but he didn't expect Qiu Zhen to suddenly bring the topic to himself. He was stunned at first, and then muttered angrily and funny: "I really didn't know that just a nod from me would have such a big impact." Big effect!" After a pause, he raised his head and said, "Qiu Zhen, tell me, what do you want me to promise?"
"Make peace!" Qiu Zhen said seductively: "Make peace with Besa!"
Tang Yin burst into laughter, knowing that Qiu Zhen would not be able to say anything good at this time. He said half-jokingly and half-sarcastically: "Which girl from Besa does Mr. Qiu like? I can propose marriage to Besa on your behalf!"
Qiu Zhen didn't mean to joke at all. He frowned and said: "We can see that Princess Xiaona of Besa has already fallen in love with the king. The king should quickly propose marriage to King Pros, as long as the king can marry Princess Xiaona. , The relationship between me, Dafeng, and Bessa will be inseparable, and Bessa will also become my strongest support, Dafeng!”
The ministers nodded while listening, thinking that Qiu Zhen's idea was a great one. If the marriage was successful, it would be of great benefit to Feng Country without any harm.
Tang Yin looked at Qiu Zhen with a smile, his face was smiling, and his teeth were itching with hatred. He asked in a calm tone, "What? I, Dafeng, have now fallen to the point where I can only survive by betraying the monarch? "
As soon as these words came out, Qiu Zhen's body was shaken, and he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "I don't dare!"
As soon as Qiu Zhen knelt down, the surrounding civil and military ministers also knelt down one after another.
Tang Yin ignored the others, stood up, pointed at Qiu Zhen below, and said angrily: "What else do you dare not do? You have been scheming and scheming, and now you are scheming on me. How can it be so? Today No more discussion, quit the court!" As he spoke, Tang Yin flicked his sleeves and walked out.
When he walked past Qiu Zhen, the latter immediately straightened up from his body lying on the ground, grabbed Tang Yin's back collar tightly, and said urgently: "It has not yet been decided whether to send troops to assist Tia. How can the king Retreat? The king can’t leave!”
Tang Yin looked at Qiu Zhen in disbelief, his eyes almost bursting with fire. He gritted his teeth and said, "Who I want to marry or who I don't want to marry is my business. It's not your turn to intervene yet! Let go!" "
Qiu Zhen said loudly and without fear: "As the king of a country, your first priority should be the interests of your country. How can you make decisions based on your own preferences? This is a sign of the destruction of the country!"
Tang Yin really couldn't stay any longer. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would be unable to control himself and slap Qiu Zhen to death. He held Qiu Zhen's head with his fingers and said word by word: "Even if you die, our Feng Kingdom will not perish!"
Qiu Zhen still held on to Tang Yin's lapel and said, "If a person has no foresight, he will have immediate worries. If a country has no foresight, it will suffer. If the king just sits back and watches Du Ji annex Tia, there will be endless foreign troubles in the northwest of Feng Kingdom." , The king must send troops to aid Tia, and he must also marry Princess Shauna!”
In fact, Tang Yin's impression of Xiaona was not bad, but now Qiu Zhen's overbearing attitude aroused Tang Yin's rebound, or in other words, rebellious psychology. The more Qiu Zhen said this, the less he wanted to agree. While pulling Qiu Zhen's hand away, he scolded: "I don't need you to teach me how to do things, so let go!"
Qiu Zhen also had a bad temper and refused to let go of Tang Yin's clothes. The two men, the monarch and the minister, pushed and pulled each other in the court hall. In the end, they only heard a hiss, and Qiu Zhen tore off the back of Tang Yin's clothes.
Tang Yin's face was red, and he didn't know whether he was angry or ashamed. He pointed his finger at Qiu Zhen and said in a ferocious voice: "Qiu Zhen, I will kill you! I will kill you!"
Qiu Zhen held a piece of rag in his hand, but his attitude was still tough, and he said: "Sending troops to assist Tia and marrying Princess Xiaona is a clear move that will benefit me. If you don't do it today, you will regret it in the future!"
Tang Yin almost roared and shouted: "Then let's wait and see!" After saying that, he walked out of the court quickly as if he was avoiding the plague. Qiu Zhen hurriedly stood up from the ground and chased out quickly. Qiu Zhen's voice could be heard faintly outside the lobby: "Your Majesty, wait! Your Majesty, wait!"
Tang Yin left angrily, Qiu Zhen followed closely behind him, leaving all the ministers standing in the hall dumbfounded. Although the Feng ministers were shocked, they had seen some scenes like this before, while the Ning ministers, led by Zuo Shuang, were all dumbstruck, and each one of them almost wondered if they were dreaming.
In Ning State, the king is the king and the ministers are ministers. How can any minister dare to argue or even tear up with the monarch in public? Even the closest ministers must be respectful to the monarch and dare not violate the emperor's orders. If he was like Qiu Zhen, the monarch would have ordered him to be dragged out and chopped off.
However, the Feng King Tang Yin, who has always been famous for his cruelty, only said that he wanted to kill Qiu Zhen, but actually ran away as if he was fleeing for safety. Such a monarch and his ministers made Ning people feel incredible, and it can be called unique. At the same time, people felt that A feeling of warmth arose. Tang Yin may have been cruel, but that was towards his enemies and his country's ministers. His tolerance even exceeded that of the enlightened kings of the past dynasties.
If Tang Yin wanted to run, few people could stop him. It would be even easier to get rid of Qiu Zhen, who didn't know martial arts. Tang Yin finally ran into Wu Mei's courtyard. He knew that Qiu Zhen, the madam's inner courtyard, would not dare to chase her in.
Seeing the disheveled Tang Yin, Wu Mei was also startled and asked hurriedly: "The king's clothes..."
"Don't mention it." Tang Yin sat down angrily and gritted his teeth and said, "Qiu Zhen is lawless. Sooner or later I have to kill him!"
Hearing what he said, Wu Mei roughly understood what was going on. The hole in his clothes must have been torn by Qiu Zhen. Instead of being angry, Wu Mei even smiled and said, "The king must have had a dispute with Mr. Qiu again and made Mr. Qiu anxious, right?!"
Tang Yin gasped and said, "I'm going crazy because of him..."
