"This is a family matter of the emperor. Everyone is keeping silent and not saying a word. However, this matter concerns the world. As ministers, how can we all be like clay sculptures and say nothing?" Xiao Chen said, "I don't know. Mr. Wang, what kind of charter are you? In short, I, Xiao Chen, will say whatever I think in my heart, even if the emperor asks me, I will answer like this!"
"Why don't you say that your brother is a hero!" Wang Anbang said, "But this is just a talk to my brother. If the emperor asks, you must not answer like this. Isn't this causing trouble for the emperor?"
The emperor is already troubled enough!
"It's like it's stuck in your throat, and you won't be able to spit it out!" Xiao Chen was still feeling energetic.
"Actually, I think both princes are good." Wang Anbang said, "One is extremely brave and powerful, and the other is wise and resourceful, and has worked hard for the country... It can be said that they are evenly matched, and it is difficult to tell them apart. Don't say that we, as ministers, feel unhappy. It’s a good choice, even the Emperor must have found it very difficult.”
Wang Anbang said that the two princes were equally divided, but in fact they had already separated.
Being extremely brave and powerful is certainly a great advantage, but in the final analysis, he is just a general. He is good at fighting, but not necessarily good at running a country.
The true nature of a king is to be profound in wisdom and hardworking in state affairs, because as we all know, the world is not about fighting and killing, but about human relations... The world is like this in the world, and the country is also like this.
If you don't know how to recognize people and how to use them, you can't be a king.
"Since the Emperor has a problem, we ministers should speak out and give advice!" Xiao Chen said, "When I see the Emperor later, I will definitely report this matter."
"Your brother refuses to listen to me!" Wang Anbang said, "If you suffer a loss, don't say that I didn't predict what I said!"
"Isn't Mr. Wang saying this out of kindness?" Xiao Chen said, "It's just that I have made up my mind. Regardless of whether I'm walking on thin ice or not, I just step on it, even if I fall into the abyss, I won't hesitate!"
In fact, Xiao Chen just wants everyone to know that I clearly support Li Shi, so and so!
Just as he told Zhu Xiaochuan, a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water!
Now that things have come to an end, I will make it clear to you, Li Feng, that I will always think of yining against you and treat me like a ball of soft mud, ready to be kneaded by you!
If the tiger doesn't show its power, you don't know what it means to be the king of beasts!
If I, Xiao Chen, bite someone, I'm just like a beast, I tell you.
Wang Anbang left, and Ma Wuming came again. Xiao Chen and he were considered good friends, so I didn't wait for him to test him, and directly stated that I support Jiangdong Wang Li Shi, just like you brother... Otherwise, I can protect Lin. Dongyang? Of course, the prince may have some misunderstandings about me, but my loyalty to him can only be demonstrated by heaven and can be learned from the earth!
Never wavered.
Then came Lu Jing, Minister of the Ministry of War. He did not test Xiao Chen's tone. He just asked Xiao Chen directly if he knew about the British coming to declare war.
"I just heard from the emperor, why are you keeping this kind of thing a secret?" Xiao Chen said.
This matter has always been kept secret, not even the Xuanyi Wei brothers know about it.
"In order to calm people's hearts, we have to block the news temporarily." Lu Jing is a real person and speaks the truth.
The situation is already in turmoil, but we can't let another thunder strike... You, Xiao Chen, are a thunder yourself!
But your coming back is really beyond our expectations.
It seems that not only did we misunderstand you before, but we may also have misunderstood the Emperor...
Xiao Chen suddenly returned, and not only Li Wanjiang was dodged, but Zhu Xiaochuan, Wang Anbang, Ma Wuming, Lu Jing and others were also dodged.
Some of them even suspected that Xiao Chen had always been the most trusted minister of the emperor. All the previous events were deliberately staged by the emperor and his ministers for everyone to see.
Otherwise, at this juncture, why would Xiao Chen have come just as he said?
Maybe it was the emperor who sent a secret order to recruit him.
So the emperor’s mind is really unfathomable...
Xiao Chen himself didn't know that coming back this time would make the already muddy waters of Fengyang City even muddier...
"The emperor wants me to lead Yanyun's troops to have a battle with the English. Do you, Mr. Lu Jing, have any reaction to this?" Xiao Chen said.
"The English country's arrogant attitude, rude words, and arrogant behavior are unprecedented!" Lu Jing said, "Don't say that you, Mr. Xiao, took the initiative to invite me, even I, Lu Jing, want to fight them to the death!"
"Hey, Mr. Lu, are you mistaken? The emperor wants to send me, but it's not me who takes the initiative." Xiao Chen said.
"I believe Mr. Xiao, you can't bear to say this!" Lu Jing said, "You haven't seen that English envoy, what the hell is his name... Pete's guy, his virtue is really irritating, I have a good temper. Yes, but I almost couldn’t help but take off my boots and slap the dog!”
"Hahaha, then why don't you slap him?" Xiao Chen laughed.
"How can I whip him in front of the emperor?" Lu Jing said, "In fact, at that time, I suggested that the emperor just chop him off with a knife and send his head back. This is our big Zhou's reply to that bullshit Duke Winters! "
Lu Jing was really angry. He had never seen such an arrogant and domineering foreign devil!
"When the two countries are at war, it is a rule not to kill the envoys." Xiao Chen said, "Master Lu, please calm down and let's talk about business, okay?"
"What business? Isn't this business!" Lu Jing said, "Didn't you ask me what I wanted to say? The emperor will humiliate his ministers and die, and I, Lu Jing, am ready to die loyally!"
"Oh? What about the salary and armaments for our battle this time..." This is what Xiao Chen asked.
"I risk my life, but I will still fight this lawsuit with you? Whatever you, Mr. Xiao, want, I will give it to you if I have it in the Ministry of War. This time, even if it is selling iron, I will teach those foreign devils a profound lesson!" Lu Jing But he changed the topic, "But as far as I know, your Yanyun's military equipment is better than ours in Great Zhou, especially the navy..."
"As long as you have Lord Lu's attitude!" Xiao Chen said, "If the emperor really sends me, then everything will depend on Lord Lu!"
"This is a matter of due course. It doesn't matter whether you rely on it or not. I don't have any problems with armaments, but I don't have any money either. You still have to go to Mr. Chen Wenqi." Lu Jing said.
"In the final analysis, isn't war just about fighting for money?" Xiao Chen said, "If you want soldiers to use their lives, you must have generous rewards. Otherwise, if the military morale is low, why fight? I also know that you, Mr. Lu, have no money, but if you want to go to court in the future, When discussing this matter, you have to say a few words for me."
"Master Xiao, no matter who is fighting for this, everyone will give their full support. This is a national crisis and it is extraordinary. Who dares to shirk the responsibility?" Lu Jing said.
"What Mr. Lu said is reasonable, but I'm afraid of going to court with you." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"It's not just you, Mr. Xiao, who is afraid, we are also afraid." Lu Jing sighed, "I am afraid that the national treasury will be empty, the armaments will be insufficient, the people's livelihood will be difficult, and the burden will increase... After several wars have been fought in the past few years, our great Zhou Dynasty has also been damaged. Quite a few, and I don’t know how much more labor this battle will bring to the people, and how much silver will be spent?”
How many bones are added?
