Volume 10 Chapter 101

Chapter 101 Tang Yin accompanied Shao Fang to eat, drink and have fun at the largest restaurant in Yancheng, and held a banquet that night to welcome Shao Fang and wash away his dust TXT download.

During the dinner, Shao Fang took the initiative several times to bring up the idea of ​​joining forces to send troops to the Jade Kingdom, but Tang Yin cleverly avoided them. After the dinner, Tang Yin sent someone to send Shao Fang to the hotel to rest, while he found Qiu Zhen and Shangguan. Yuan Ji asked him and Shao Fang what their plans were.

Shangguan Yuanji smiled and asked, "Has your Majesty heard of any precedent of the monarchs of the two countries getting married?"

How had Tang Yin heard of this? He was also unfamiliar with history and shook his head slowly.

Shangguan Yuanji said: "That's because once the monarchs of the two countries get married, the two countries will become one country. There are no two monarchs in the country. The monarchs of the two countries have become one family. How can there be two countries again? Wei Chen feels , Shao Fang’s desire for Lingshuang’s beauty is false, but annexing the Jade Kingdom is real! He only exchanged one county of Ningdi for the entire Jade Kingdom, and this deal is a huge profit! "

After listening to Shangguan Yuanji's analysis, Tang Yin suddenly realized that no wonder Shao Fang was so generous. As long as Feng State sent troops, he would give away a county without fighting. It turned out that this was what he had in mind. Tang Yin chuckled, shook his head repeatedly, and murmured: "What a calculating Shao Fang!"

After a pause, he asked again: "How old is Lingshuang this year?"

Shangguan Yuanji said: "Twenty to five."

"Not married yet?"

"No." Shangguan Yuanji said: "The person the Jade King likes has a humble background, and the ministers are opposed to it. Although the person the ministers like has a noble status, the Jade King does not like it, so until now, the Jade King has not been able to get married. "

If that's the case, it makes sense for Shao Fang to marry Ling Shuang. He frowned and asked: "Yuanji, in your opinion, do we still need to help you with this?"

"Of course not!" Shangguan Yuanji could not speak. Qiu Zhen had already stood up to object. He said sternly: "Your Majesty, if Mo Country can successfully annex Jade Country, Mo Country's national power will be greatly increased. In the future, Mo Country will definitely become a confidant of our country. Big trouble."

"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded in agreement.

But Shangguan Yuanji shook his head and said, "I don't think so."

"Oh? What do Yuanji say?"

"It is a fact that the Mo Kingdom has helped our country. This time, King Mo personally came to ask the king for help. If the king does not agree, it will appear that the king is too ruthless and unjust, and it is true. This is one of the reasons; the second is that the Mo Kingdom becomes bigger. , will not become a threat to our country for the time being, but will form a solid barrier to keep Sichuan and Zhen other countries out of our country. Now our country's biggest worry is the two powerful countries of Sichuan and Zhen. As for whether Mozambique will become a hidden danger, That is something to consider in the future." Shangguan Yuanji expressed his thoughts.

Qiu Zhen did not agree with his point of view. "If you don't have long-term worries, you will have immediate worries! Helping the Mo Country to annex the Jade Country is raising a tiger and causing trouble, and our country will surely suffer from it in the future!"

Although Shangguan Yuanji was a smooth man, he refused to give in when it came to major national affairs. He said sternly: "Whether the Mozambique Congress will become a hidden danger or a threat is still too early to say, and we can't see that far. However, the hostility and threats from the Sichuan and Zhen countries to our country are real. Our The primary enemies are these two countries, not Mo. It would be unwise to offend Mo."

Qiu Zhen shook his head repeatedly and said: "Although the two countries of Sichuan and Zhen are enemies, they are too far away from our homeland. Even if they fight, our country still has a lot of room for maneuver. Although the Mo country is an ally, it borders our country and helps it grow bigger. , ambitions expand, and the consequences are disastrous.”

The two of them had different opinions, and the conversation was very fast, which made Tang Yin's head hurt. In his opinion, Qiu Zhen's concerns were justified, but Shangguan Yuanji's words were also correct. Tang Yin was also a little undecided whether to help or not.

Normally, when faced with such a problem, Tang Yin could choose to escape and let Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji fight for the result, but that didn't work now. He would have to give Shao Fang an answer tomorrow, and he had to come to a conclusion tonight.

Listening to the argument between the two of them, Tang Yin's mind was spinning rapidly. After a long silence, he suddenly said: "What I'm thinking about is, even if our country and the Mo Kingdom join forces to send troops, what if the Jade Kingdom still doesn't agree to Shao Fang's marriage proposal?" ? This sentence successfully calmed Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji. They thought for a while and said in unison: "Probably not. "

"Oh?" Tang Yin asked with a smile: "Are you two so sure that Lingshuang will accept it? Doesn't she have someone she likes?"

"The two countries, Feng and Mo, join forces to send troops. No matter which country it is, it will be difficult for them to resist. With the national and military strength of the Jade Kingdom, if there is a real fight, I am afraid that the whole country will collapse in less than half a year. As a monarch, the Jade King will not be ignorant of the general situation. I definitely won’t fight this battle and can only choose to compromise.”

Qiu Zhen nodded, he agreed. How about Ningguo? It was several times more powerful than the Jade Kingdom, but under the attack of the Feng Mo Alliance, it quickly collapsed and finally ended in destruction.

Shangguan Yuanji shook his head and smiled bitterly. He said quietly: "King Mo is really smart. He came to the king for help. Firstly, he wanted to get the king to send troops. Secondly, he also wanted the king to give him a legitimate reason to send troops."

Tang Yin wondered: "What reason can I give him to send troops?"

"The king can't, but the king has the ability!" Shangguan Yuanji said: "Because the emperor is in the hands of the king. If the emperor decrees this marriage, and if the Jade King does not agree, then Feng Mo and the two countries can Using the Jade King's disobedience as an excuse, he justifiably sent out troops."

Yo! It turns out there is such a relationship. If Shao Fang really planned this, then his calculation was quite thorough. Tang Yin said: "It seems that Shao Fang's trip to Feng Country has been planned for a long time."

"You can say that. In other words, Shao Fang is bound to win the Jade Kingdom!"

"Even so, I still want to help him?"

"I feel that it will be temporarily beneficial to our country if the country of Mo grows bigger."

Tang Yin turned and looked at Qiu Zhen. The latter still objected, saying: "If Mo gets bigger, in the long run, it will do more harm than good."

Shangguan Yuanji sighed softly and said: "Now is the most difficult period for our country. The national strength is weak, the military strength has not returned to its peak, and the eight counties in Ningbei have not been completely absorbed. What our country needs most is time, and what we fear most is that foreign enemies will regroup and come again. Attack. Even if King Mo marries King Jade, the integration of Mo and Yu will take a long time. During this period, it will be enough for our country to recover with Mo and Yu as a barrier. Even if Mo has ambitions in the future, we I won’t be afraid of it.”

After hearing this, Qiu Zhen did not immediately refute, but calmed down and carefully considered Shangguan Yuanji's analysis.

Tang Yin also nodded repeatedly and said, "I think Yuan Ji's words are reasonable. Qiu Zhen, what do you think?"

Qiu Zhen didn't object, but he didn't agree either. He just said, "The king will decide everything."

"Okay." Tang Yin took a deep breath and said, "This time we will follow Yuan Ji's wishes. We accept Shao Fang's request and send troops to help him." After saying that, he asked Qiu Zhen: "How many troops are appropriate? ?A legion?"

Qiu Zhen smiled and said: "Since the king has decided to help King Mo, don't be too stingy. Only the direct troops will be left to defend the country. Other legions can be sent out. This is also an opportunity to train troops. Besides, the money and food for sending the troops will be paid by the Mo Kingdom. Our country has nothing to lose.”

Tang Yin praised: "It makes sense!"

After the discussion came out, Tang Yin was relieved. Seeing that it was getting late, he said to the two of them: "You two should go back early to rest and recuperate. You will have to continue dealing with Shao Fang tomorrow!"

"Yes! Your Majesty! The humble minister resigns!" Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji bowed their hands and left the study.

Even outside, Qiu Zhen was still brooding. He pulled Shangguan Yuanji's sleeve and said that it was too dangerous to help the country of Mo grow bigger. King Shao Fang of Mo was not an ordinary person. He had great talents, great strategies, and ambitious ambitions.

Shangguan Yuanji very much agrees with Qiu Zhen's point of view, but in his opinion, things should be prioritized. Currently, for Feng State, Mo State is only a secondary hidden danger, and Chuan Zhen is the biggest threat.

The two walked and talked. After walking for a while, Shangguan Yuanji refused to leave. When Qiu Zhen asked, he found out that he was going to visit the seriously injured Yuan Wu.

Qiu Zhen patted his head. He had really ignored Yuan Wu and hadn't visited his injury for so long. Qiu Zhen was not in a hurry to go home and went with Shangguan Yuanji to the courtyard where Yuan Wu lived.

The next day, Shao Fang came to the palace early in the morning and asked Tang Yin about his decision to send troops to the Jade Kingdom.

Although Tang Yin had decided to help him, he didn't want to simply agree and made a lot of excuses to shirk.

After listening to his words, it seemed that he had no intention of helping him. Shao Fangke became a little anxious and used the same story about Mo Guo's kindness to Feng Guo.

This time Tang Yin was not as polite as yesterday. He said with a smile: "Mo Guo is kind to Feng Guo. Even if Brother Shao doesn't mention it, I will never forget it. However, the reason why Mo Guo helps Feng Guo is not actually helping himself." What? Brother Shao is a smart man and understands the truth of the relationship. In this case, Brother Shao should not mention it again, so as not to hurt our feelings. "

Shao Fang's face suddenly darkened. Before he could speak, Tang Yin smiled and pointedly said: "It's like I have helped Brother Shao before, but I have never mentioned it in front of Brother Shao."

Stunned by Tang Yin's sudden words, Shao Fang pondered for a moment before suddenly understanding what Tang Yin was referring to. He was talking about his own throne.

Shao Fang blushed slightly and swallowed back the words that had just reached his lips. He changed the topic, nodded with a smile and said, "What Prince Tang said is reasonable, but he made a mistake because of his mistake."

It's rare for Shao Fang to take the initiative to surrender. Tang Yin looked up and smiled, waving his hands and saying, "Brother Shao, there's no need to say that. Brother Shao has always been someone I deeply admire!"
