The general strategy of regaining Shunfeng Port has been decided, but the specific affairs still need to be planned in detail, so there is no need to discuss it at the court meeting. As for the time to launch the attack, it is initially set around the beginning of summer.
What Li Wanjiang was most worried about was that when he attacked Shunfeng Port, the tribes from Northern Xinjiang would go south to attack, so Xiao Chen took advantage of the situation and put forward a suggestion to give titles to the kings of the tribes in Northern Xinjiang.
There is no problem with this in itself. Li Wanjiang and others all agree in principle, but Xiao Chen's suggestion to crown Wanyan Pingqiu as Mojiu King is beyond everyone's expectation.
Isn’t Wanyanhong, the old prince of Mojie, not dead yet?
A Mojie country cannot have two princes with royal title.
"However, as far as I know, Wanyanhong's physical condition has not been very good and he may die at any time. We should also prepare in advance." Xiao Chen's words sounded like he was referring to something else...
But what he said next still makes sense.
Xiao Chen believes that once Wanyanhong dies, his sons will definitely compete for the throne, but those princes are all ambitious people, and their relationship with our Zhou Dynasty is also very alienated. If any of them did something King, they are all very detrimental to us.
It is better to support Wanyan Pingqiu as the Mojiu King.
There are three reasons. First, Wanyan Pingqiu and I have formed an alliance, and allies must not invade each other. Therefore, if he becomes the king and I am still in Yanyun County, the Mojie Kingdom will be destroyed. They will not attack us.
Because northern Xinjiang tribes attach great importance to promises, once he breaks his promise, he will no longer have a place there.
Second, Wanyan Pingqiu is a talented and extremely smart person. It is much better to deal with such a person than to deal with those idiots. In addition, Your Majesty, please don’t forget that Queen Wu Luolan of Xianbo is also a heroic woman. Among the tribes in Northern Xinjiang, the only one who can check her is Wanyan Pingqiu, and vice versa.
In this case, both of them will have to make good friends with us, Dazhou, otherwise no matter which side we prefer, it will be a disaster for the other side!
The third reason is also very important, that is, Wanyan Pingqiu's mother Qiu Ruolan is Chinese, so Wanyan Pingqiu is also half Chinese, and we have a relationship where blood is thicker than water...
Everyone nodded after hearing this, Xiao Chen's words made sense.
"Of course, this Mojie King's gift cannot be given to him now, so it should be given to me first to keep it for the best. When Wanyanhong dies, I will immediately go to the nearest place to announce the decree to them in the name of mourning, and then ask General Qin Gang to send A troop will follow me, so that the other princes will not dare to play any tricks." What Xiao Chen said was true enough.
"Hahaha, Aiqing said this so easily, okay, that's it!" Li Wanjiang laughed and agreed happily.
Seeing that it was getting late and everyone was tired after a day of meetings, Li Wanjiang announced his resignation. Everyone left one after another, but Xiao Chen did not leave because he still had a few things to do with Li Wanjiang. List'.
He also left Li Shi, Chen Wenqi, Wang Anbang, and Zhu Xiaochuan behind and asked them to go with him to the Qinzheng Palace to meet the emperor.
Several people were confused. Didn't the emperor just leave the court? Why do you want to see him again?
"Let's go have a meal with the emperor." Xiao Chen said.
It's definitely not as simple as just grabbing a meal. I don't know what bad idea this kid is holding back!
But they all stayed because they were all curious about what this kid wanted to do mysteriously.
Li Wanjiang had just taken off his court clothes and was about to have a meal. He was quite surprised to see several people coming together and asked them what else they wanted.
The answer was that he came with Xiao Chen to have some food.
Li Wanjiang was still very happy and hurriedly ordered the imperial kitchen to bring a banquet. Today, he and his beloved ladies will have a few drinks to enhance the relationship between our monarch and his ministers.
There is also the affection between father and son.
"Li Shi, how have you been lately? I've entrusted you with the errands of the official department. Although the responsibility is heavy, you should not overwork yourself. Your health is still important." Li Wanjiang looked at Li Shi at this moment, and his eyes were serious. Full of love, after all, he is his own.
"If I go back to my father, I am in good health. Wang Anbang is mainly responsible for the affairs of the staff. I won't worry too much and don't feel tired." Li Shi said hurriedly.
"Well, Xiao Chen brought me a lot of wild ginseng this time. I'll reward you with a few decoctions to replenish your body. It's easy to get sick when the seasons change... Why does your chair look like this? Weird?" Li Wanjiang glanced at Li Shi's wheelchair and felt that it was different from before.
"Thank you, Father!" Li Shi said with a smile, "This wheelchair was also given by Xiao Chen. He saw that it was inconvenient for my son to get in and out, so he built it for me with his own hands."
As he spoke, he also controlled the wheelchair and walked around the hall a few times to demonstrate to Li Wanjiang.
Everyone was amazed when they saw it. Only Gong Shouli was extremely jealous. Xiao Chen, even though he was not a big deal, he was really ingenious. It was a shame that he could think of it and make it!
But you kid only knows how to flatter the prince, so you don’t show any respect to me!
It's not convenient for my legs and feet to get in and out. It would be much easier if I had this wheelchair.
"This is actually an idea I had, and it was created by Liu Fuhai from the Imperial Treasure Prison." Xiao Chen mentioned Liu Fuhai and gave Gong Shouli some eye drops.
Sure enough, Li Wanjiang snorted softly and glared at Gong Shouli, who was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head.
"If people can make the best use of their talents, I think Mr. Xiao is quite suitable for the position of chief eunuch of the Imperial Treasure Palace." Chen Wenqi is someone who doesn't say nice things.
"That's not making the best use of people's talents, but overusing their talents!" Wang Anbang said with a smile, "Our Lord Xiao is now a serious feudal official, a second-grade official. It is said that since ancient times, all dynasties have counted, but there is no one like him. Mr. Xiao is so favored and used by the Emperor."
This sounds nice, but in fact it also carries a hidden thorn.
Because no matter how capable Xiao Chen is, he is still a eunuch. The matter of eunuchs taking power has been quite taboo in all dynasties.
Any king who reuses eunuchs will not end well.
"Actually, I quite agree with what Xiao Chen said just now. We need to break the rules and use talents in an eclectic way. It doesn't matter whether the person is a Jinshi or not, whether he is a eunuch or a lowly slave, or whether he is a surrendered general and a traitor. As long as he can do things, We should all boldly encourage reuse. No matter what kind of cat it is, white or black, if it can catch mice, it is a good cat!"
Li Shi's words seemed to belittle Xiao Chen, comparing him as a eunuch to a slave, but in fact he was supporting him.
So these guys are all human sperm!
Only Zhu Xiaochuan was more realistic, "Anyway, I think Xiao Chen is very capable. With all the things he has done and the achievements he has made, no one in our entire court can compare with him, right?"
"Master Hou, are you flattering me or trying to trick me?" Xiao Chen grinned when he heard this.
Looking at the entire imperial court, how many people hate me so much, why don't you say anything?
