Volume 10 Chapter 69

After listening to Qiu Zhen's words, Tang Yin sneered and said: "It's ridiculous that Sun Yuanhong, the first chief of the district, has left the huge Mo country helpless." After a pause, he asked again: "What if Shao Fang really did it for this matter?" Come on, do I agree or not?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu She stepped out of the queue and said loudly: "Your Majesty, you absolutely cannot allow this?"

"Oh?" Lu She, who has always been poor at speaking, must have a good reason to stand up and object. Tang Yin asked: "Lu She, what do you say?"

Lu She said seriously: "Looking around our country, there are only two countries that can be called our strong rivals. One is Besa, and the other is Mo. The king has married Princess Besa, and Besa and I are in alliance with Dafeng. The relationship is already very stable, but this is not the case with Mo Country. With Changsun Yuanhong here, Mo Country can be restrained to the greatest extent. Instead of helping Mo Country, the king should find opportunities to help Changsun Yuanhong secretly. "

"Master Lu's words are wrong." Among the ministers, Zhang Han, a bachelor, stood up and objected, saying: "The princess of Besa married to the Feng Kingdom and married me, Dafeng, while the princess of the Mo Kingdom had already been sent to the Feng Kingdom. , as long as the king is willing to nod, our two countries, Feng and Mo, can marry at any time. The king and the king of Mo have a close personal relationship. Not only did they send troops to destroy the Ning country, but when the four countries united to fight against the wind, the Mo country also stood on our side. In the end, he openly sent troops and completely broke up with the Sichuan and Zhen Kingdoms. Isn't this enough to prove that Mo Country is our most reliable ally? I think Bessa is a greater threat than Mo Country. After all, Non-my family, its heart must be different!

Lu She shook his head repeatedly and said: "Although Besa is not of my race, Besa people have a straightforward character. Once they recognize that the other person is a friend, they will not become hostile again. But Mo Guo is not like that. He is cunning, changeable and capricious. Even if I The marriage between the two countries will not guarantee that Mo will never be an enemy of me, Dafeng!"

Zhang Han disagreed and said with a smile: "Master Lu is really alarmist and wants to destroy the Feng Mo Alliance with ulterior motives!"

"The lower officials have no second thoughts about Da Feng and the King. On the contrary, some people are short-sighted and will cause trouble in the future!"

"you……"

Zhang Han and Lu She said something to each other, and the discussion gradually turned into a personal attack. Tang Yin was annoyed by the quarrel between the two of them. He waved his hands and said, "Okay, stop arguing!"

After listening to Tang Yin's words, Zhang Han glared at Lu She fiercely and returned to the train. Lu She also lowered his head and stopped talking.

What the two of them were arguing about was not an inconsequential issue, but related to Feng Guo's future national policy. Tang Yin looked at Shangguan Yuanji and Qiu Zhen and asked, "Two prime ministers, what do you two mean?"

Shangguan Yuanji and Qiu Zhen looked at each other, but neither of them answered immediately. Whether Besa is reliable or Mo Guo is reliable, no one dares to make a guarantee now. Lu She’s words make sense, but Zhang Han’s words are also correct. How to correctly handle the relationship between Feng Guo and the two countries also requires Put a lot of thought into it.

After a long silence, Shangguan Yuanji slowly said: "Bessa and Mo are both our allies in Dafeng. Of course, they may also be potential enemies of our country. Now our country is in the stage of recovering its national strength. Regarding the relationship between the two countries, We must be careful and treat it with caution. I agree with Mr. Lu's advice not to help Mo Guo, but I think it is inappropriate to help Sun Yuanhong in turn. Once the matter is exposed, wouldn't it put me in a bad position and be unjust? It will add another powerful enemy to Feng Guo. The risk is too high. Compared with it, the benefits are very small, so we must not do it. "

Qiu Zhen nodded, cupped his hands and said, "What Yuan Ji said is absolutely true!"

"Well!" Tang Yin stood up while thinking about it, and said quietly: "Yes, how can there be eternal friends between countries? When the interests of the country are at the forefront, anything can happen."

There are no permanent friends, only eternal interests. Tang Yin understands this very well.

After the dynasty ended, a maid from the palace came to the palace with a message from Princess Yin Rou, inviting Tang Yin to enter the palace.

It was rare that Yin Rou took the initiative to invite her, so Tang Yin went happily. In Yin Rou's palace, Tang Yin saw Yin Rou sitting in the pavilion enjoying the cool air.

Yin Rou was wearing her favorite white dress. As usual, the dress was spotlessly clean. She was in the pavilion, with the breeze blowing and the skirt flying. She looked like a fairy in a painting. It even gave Tang Yin the illusion that if he didn't hold her tight, she would It could fly away at any moment.

Tang Yin stepped forward, grabbed Yin Rou's catkins from behind, put his other hand on her waist, and asked with a smile: "What are you doing?"

Yin Rou was startled at first and instinctively retracted her hands, but when she heard Tang Yin's voice, she immediately relaxed. She turned back and said dissatisfiedly: "Why don't you make any sound when you walk?"

Tang Yin shrugged innocently and said, "You are too lost in your thoughts."

Yin Rou smiled sweetly, pulled Tang Yin to sit down, pushed a plate of snacks on the stone table in front of Tang Yin, and said, "Try it and feel how it tastes?"

Tang Yin picked up a piece of snack, looked at it, sniffed it, and asked, "What is this?"

"Osmanthus cake."

Before she finished speaking, Tang Yin had already thrown the snack into his mouth. He's never picky about what he eats, and he's even less interested in snacks. He eats what he can and doesn't care if he doesn't. He chewed two mouthfuls, smacked his lips, nodded and said, "It tastes pretty good."

Yin Rou looked happy and said, "I did it."

"Oh?" Tang Yin's eyes widened, and he looked at her from head to toe as if he didn't know her. He really didn't expect that Yin Rou, who was spoiled in the palace, could actually make snacks. Seeing his surprised look, Yin Rou burst into laughter and asked back: "Why? Are you so surprised by the sweet-scented osmanthus cake I made?"

"Yeah!" Tang Yin nodded honestly, then grabbed another piece without hesitation and put it in his mouth. This time he tasted it carefully, unlike the three or two bites he swallowed just now. Yin Rou's craftsmanship can't be said to be good or bad, just average, but it tasted completely different in Tang Yin's mouth. It felt that there was nothing in the world more delicious than this little sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

"Delicious!" Tang Yin praised while eating, making Yin Rou laugh.

Seeing the cake residue hanging on the corner of his mouth, Yin Rou took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped it off for him. Just this action made Tang Yin feel that the cake in his mouth was sweeter, and the smile on his face became more intense, as if he was a child who had eaten candy.

The Shangguan brothers, who were used to Tang Yin's iron-blooded and cold side, couldn't stand it anymore. They turned around at the same time and stood with their backs to the pavilion.

It didn't take long for Tang Yin to eat up a whole plate of cakes on the stone table. Looking at the empty plate, he wiped his mouth with reluctance and sighed: "I really want to take you home and let you cook for me every day."

Yin Rou blushed and asked shyly: "Is it really that delicious?"

"Of course!"

"But I gave it to my brother, and he only ate one piece and stopped eating."

Tang Yin's face was stern, and he said slowly: "In the future, you only cook for me."

While speaking, a maid brought osmanthus sake. This is a special wine for the palace. Compared with Feng wine, it is similar to water and is usually drunk by female relatives.

Yin Rou took the initiative to pour wine for Tang Yin and drank with him. The two chatted while drinking, and laughter could be heard from time to time in the pavilion.

Tang Yin enjoyed the time with Yin Rou very much. There was no pressure, and his body and mind were completely relaxed. He felt nothing but happiness.

Perhaps because of drinking, Yin Rou's cheeks were flushed, her beautiful eyes were blurred, and her noble and holy appearance was full of charm. If Tang Yin had not been so determined, I don't know what he would do at this time.

The slightly tipsy Yin Rou gently leaned on Tang Yin's shoulder and whispered: "I heard that the Feng army sent back a victory report in Tia."

The news spread so fast! Everyone in the palace also knew about it. Tang Yin raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, saying: "Yes, the Sanshui army fought beautifully, defeated the main force of the Du Ji army, and lifted the siege of Tia City. Now, our army has taken the initiative in Tia, and the people of Tia regard us Feng people as saviors!"

"But in this way, we will offend the Du Ji people." Yin Rou frowned and whispered.

"Du Ji is just a small country in the borderland, not worth worrying about." Tang Yin said indifferently, and then found that Yin Rou's expression was unnatural, he asked: "Are you worried?"

Rou said worriedly: "I wonder if Feng Country will go to war with Du Ji Country next."

If Besa does not send troops, Feng Country and Du Ji will definitely have a national war. Tang Yin did not hide it and said: "It is very likely."

"Why... always have to fight?" Yin Rou raised her head, looked up at Tang Yin eagerly, and asked: "Can't we not fight? Yin... why are you always so warlike?"

This is the first time that Yin Rou has expressed dissatisfaction with Tang Yin's warlike personality. Tang Yin gently pushed Yin Rou away, stood up, and said solemnly: "It's not that I like war, but I can't help it!"

"You are the king. If you are unwilling to send troops, no one can stop you."

"No! The current situation is overwhelming!" Tang Yin put his hands on Yin Rou's shoulders and said softly: "I will help you conquer a vast territory and rebuild an indestructible empire. I will never let you leave your homeland again, and I will never let you be bullied again."

But these are not what I want. I just want to live with you in peace! Before Yin Rou could say what was in her heart, Shangguan Yuanwu walked quickly into the pavilion, came to Tang Yin, and whispered: "King, General Lei Zhen is asking for an audience outside the courtyard!"

Oh? How did Lei Zhen find the palace? Tang Yin frowned, raised his head and said, "Let him in."

"Yes!"

Not long after, Lei Zhen hurried over from outside and entered the pavilion. He didn't dare to look sideways, lowered his head, knelt on one knee, and saluted, saying, "I pay my respects to the king and princess!"

Tang Yin waved! What's the matter? "

"My king, a ranger came to the palace to cause trouble and injured several guards." Lei Zhen said cautiously.
