It’s so deceiving! When she was still young, he should have persuaded Asano Shuangshu to kill her. If she was killed, there would be so many things happening today.
Jiang Xiong Dawu always despised the shrewish behavior of the ministers who sat down, and now he was so angry that he couldn't avoid becoming like them. People just don't become worse for a while, they will become completely worse when given the opportunity.
Bitch! Why should a bitch who has an affair with a monster become the lord of the city of Salo Kingdom?
Sara didn't know what he was thinking, but judging from the change in his expression, he must have said something nice. Anyone who is insulted will get angry, and no matter how good-natured Sara is, she will be no exception.
"Huh?" Sara leaned slightly and asked, "Minister of state affairs?"
"I have accompanied the old city lord to defend the city for many years. As I get older, my reaction is not as fast as when I was young. Please forgive me." Jiang Xiong came to his senses. This step of retreating is a smart one. First, it shows the merits of hard work. Secondly, To excuse my previous silence.
"It's okay. Now that my beloved has reacted, you should share your worries with me, right? The other ministers have said that the evidence in the hands of Tata Kingdom is very important, and the war should be suspended at this moment. You said that the war should continue, how to convince them?"
Jiang Xiong realized that he would not fall into Sara's trap, so he turned around and asked: "You are the city lord of Sara State. Whether the war should stop or continue is entirely up to you. I just want to ask, what does the city lord think about this matter?" What’s your opinion?”
Of course Sara's idea was to continue the attack, but wouldn't he fall into the opponent's trap if he really said that?
The second god Kyosuke saw that the two of them were setting up traps one after another, and he had to stand up on impulse.
Seeing this, Sara signaled him not to act rashly.
Unable to do so, Ergami Kyousuke could only retreat temporarily.
"My idea? Of course my idea is that we can attack or negotiate." Sara's answer was ambiguous, just like Jiang Xiong Dawu didn't want to face the question.
Who didn't know what she was thinking when Kyousuke the Second God was so verbally critical of other ministers? To say this was just for the sake of rebuttal. The ministers in the palace looked a bit embarrassed for a moment.
Did Sara explicitly say that she wanted to continue fighting? No, it’s Nigami Kyosuke who has always been refuting the anti-war opponents. Who says he can’t express his political opinions?
The corners of Ergami Kyosuke's mouth turned up, feeling a little relieved.
When Jiang Xiong Dawu heard what Sara said, he wanted to say: Then listen to everyone, negotiate for peace, and get back the evidence in the hands of the Tata Kingdom royal family. Does he dare? He didn't dare.
Kyosuke, the second god, knew that Sara had a solution, and he was so happy to see this that he grinned from the corner of his mouth to the back of his ears, frequently attracting the eyes of the surrounding ministers.
See what you can do. Why are you so happy following a city lord with potential?
Faced with these sour looks, Ergami Kyosuke stared back, "Yes, why not?" He was happy that he had surrendered early. Unlike the sour ministers like them, they still have to carefully figure out when to stand in line.
Jiang Xiong Dawu was used to covering the sky with one hand. This was the first time he tasted the feeling of being forced into a corner. It was bitter and unacceptable.
Just when everyone thought that Sara would still win this battle, and even Sara thought so, a person that no one expected appeared. That person was none other than Jiang Xiong Dawu's biggest rival in the past.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Shu Bengui knew that if Jiang Xiong Dawu fell like that, he would be the next one. What's the saying in that country across the sea? The rabbit dies and the fox is sad.
Zhou Bengui served as the chief official in the court and was in charge of the appointment and dismissal of the court. In the past, he could be said to be on an equal footing with Jiang Xiong Dawu. There were also many ministers behind him, which was the second biggest obstacle to Sara's complete control of the court.
During this period of time, Sara was only trying to deal with Jiang Xiong Dawu, but she didn't have time to deal with him. She didn't expect that he would step up on his own and help his former rival.
Sara's back relaxed slightly, and she felt bad in her heart.
"City Lord, I have something I don't know whether to say or not." Zhou Bengui stood up and gestured to Sara with his hands raised.
Sara put one hand on the table and rested her chin on the palm: "If you know you shouldn't say it, then don't say it."
Sara didn't play according to common sense, and Zhou Bengui's follow-up words suddenly got stuck in his throat.
"Wei Chen feels that this battle must still be fought. Although I have always had political differences with the Minister of Political Affairs, I have to say that his views are very suitable for the current situation of the Salo Kingdom. The war consumes too much. If we retreat, we will lose more than a little bit."
Zhou Bengui ignored Sara's words and said everything he wanted to say. The reason for doing this was to try not to lose too badly for Jiang Xiong Dawu.
Jiang Xiong Dawu saw that this old man, Zhou Bengui, stood up to speak for him. He was not weird in his heart, and he was not grateful. The other party would do this just for profit, and he had no need to be moved.
After receiving Jiang Xiong's speechless glance, Zhou Bengui raised his eyebrows and looked fiercely. Something ungrateful!
Gishu Hongui is wearing a jungle green silk crane cloak, with a dark brown gold belt with auspicious cloud patterns tied around his waist. He has long black and white hair, piercing eyes under his eyebrows, and a strong body. He is really an artist. A wise man is bold.
"The chief officer is right, and I also think the war should continue."
"The same is true for ministers."
"City Lord please make a decision as soon as possible!"
The ministers standing behind Zhou Bengui came out one by one, and they all said that they also agreed that the war would continue. These people, plus the supporters behind Jiang Xiong Dawu, the number of courtiers who agreed to the war was considerable, accounting for more than half of the courtiers.
Numbers win. At this point, Jiang Xiong realizes who else needs to be convinced? It was difficult for Sara to make the other party bleed.
Sara put down her supporting arm, her eyes showing no emotion. Either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind. This is always the case in any circle.
This court meeting was so exciting that the ministers who were interested in siding with Sara couldn't help but sweat for her. How to deal with the two major forces of North Korea and China at once? General Zuo has also gone on an expedition. Now the troops in the city are only enough to protect him. It is impossible to take down the two major forces. It seems that he can only compromise temporarily.
No matter how you compromise, people have to bow their heads under the roof.
There is no shortage of brave people everywhere. Some continue to wait and see, while others naturally feel that this is a good opportunity, a God-given opportunity that can give Sara enough sincerity.
"I don't think we should continue the war! Jiang Xiong Dawu and Zhou Bengui both saw that the losses were irreparable. Did you ever think that the subsequent military expenditures would be unbearable for the Salo Kingdom?"
The person who stood up was none other than Yuuto Matsushiro, who had a huge quarrel with Kyousuke the Second God. Otherwise, he had the word "brave" in his name. He had a huge quarrel with Kyousuke the Second God, the favored minister next to Sara, and now he has another one. Named Jiang Xiong, Dawu and Zhou Bengui.
When the master is named, minions naturally come out to protect him.
The young man was wearing a low-level official uniform, speaking arrogantly, and his eyes were like sharp swords: "You dare to speak out about the names of two ministers! As for the war, the city lord had already arranged it well before the war, how could you fail to succeed!"
"The successor is still weak, do you know better or do I know better?" Matsushiro Yuto almost laughed at this popularity. Before speaking, he did not check who he was or whether he had any official position in the court.
He is the waiter in charge of army logistics!
The young man who stood up knew who this person was after being reminded by the people around him, but his mouth was so soft that he didn't know how to reply.
"City Lord, what Wei Chen said is absolutely true. The army is overspending! Wei Chen is not saying that General Zuo is ineffective in leading the troops, but he is just saying that there is always a gap between reality and reality." Matsushiro Yoshito knelt down and expressed his grievances again.
Before, Matsushiro Yuto went to the city lord's palace and told Sara about this matter. At that time, Sara had no choice but to let him go down first.
He went down, and tried every means to stop the war whenever he had the chance. Even if he failed to sue for peace with the enemy, he would risk offending her and have a life-and-death quarrel with Kyousuke the Second God in the court.
Sara looked down at the people below and covered her forehead with a headache.
Seeing that they were about to overwhelm Sara, Yuuto Matsushiro appeared halfway. Exiong Dawu and Shu Bengui were almost furious to death. They just hoped that no one would stand up again in the future.
Sometimes the more you are afraid of something, the more it will happen, before they can send someone to interrupt. Someone has made a good start. I originally wanted to wait and see, but don’t you think this is a good opportunity? They all stood up and knelt behind the man, saying please make peace.
Harmony and harmony, nothing but harmony! Jiang Xiong Dawu could hardly control his expression and scolded these people severely.
Why do these accidents always happen every time he thinks he can overwhelm Sara? Why? Jiang Xiong Dawu's old face was distorted.
Is it possible that despite his age, he is still no match for a little girl without the protection of her father?
The second god Kyousuke smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed, and he didn't care about the political differences with Yuuto Matsushiro. He also knelt down next to him and said he only said that he had no rules before, but now that he has changed his past, he felt that it was good to be reconciled.
One after another, the ministers knelt down behind them one after another. Their numbers were so huge that they were not much different from those of Jiang Xiong Dawu and Zhou Bengui.
Suo Luo spread his hands in front of the officials who were divided into two groups. Although his face was cheerful, he was full of embarrassment: "My dear friends, what do you think about this? If you can come up with something for follow-up." If you don’t pay for the army, I will allow you to continue the war. Otherwise, you can only negotiate for peace.”
Sumoto Guicai didn't listen to her nonsense. She was the one who wanted to fight the most in the whole country. He looked at Jiang Xiong Dawu, expecting the other party to say something he couldn't tell. In this way, even if there is a loss, no matter what, Sara's loss is not greater, and it is not impossible to injure the enemy by one thousand and damage himself by eight hundred.
This matter had nothing to do with him. Of course he said it lightly. Jiang Xiong realized how could he abandon his daughter Tomoko. Tomoko said that day that if her son-in-law died, she would not survive. Tomoko is the only bloodline left to him by his lover, which is tearing out his heart.
The hall was quiet, everyone was waiting for a result. Jiang Xiong Dawu gritted his teeth and said a number. "For the sake of the Salo Kingdom and to avenge the sacrifice of the soldiers, I am willing to pay one million taels. Does the city lord think it is enough?"
Sara pursed her lips and said nothing.
"Three, three million!" The old man pinched his thighs until his thighs were bruised, and he forced out the number three million. It’s not that he can’t produce more, it’s just that producing more is indistinguishable from admitting to robbing the people.
If the situation continues, the situation will not look good. Sara realized this and looked at Zhou Bengui: "Where is Aiqing? How much is Aiqing willing to give?"
"Wei Chen's family is poor and cannot afford any silver, so please forgive me, the city lord." Adhering to the fact that the matter had nothing to do with him, Zhou Bengui simply refused.
Sara was noncommittal and waved the kneeling ministers in the palace to get up. Kneeling for a long time was not good for the knees. These people were all manpower who continued to work. At least that's the case before integrating into the new blood.
Matsushiro Yuto almost laughed out loud, thinking that he would be able to receive three million taels in the future and he could not wait to rub his hands like flies.
Jiang Xiong Dawu was naturally dissatisfied after being manipulated by Sara. When he stood up, he looked at Zhou Bengui for a few seconds and said nothing. For their mutual benefit, they might be able to work together for a while later.
Sara is their most important enemy.
After getting up, the two separated with a tacit understanding.
"By the way, after this battle, the Sarawak Kingdom has entered a stage of recuperation. I think many of the beloved ministers in the court are already old. It's time to go home and enjoy a happy life, entertain grandchildren, and share a family relationship."
Sara didn't care what kind of bomb he dropped, he just made decisions: "I love my father, so I naturally sympathize with you. Let's do this. Next, I will make a list of people who can be returned home and be honored, and when the time comes, it will be announced in the court."
It is definitely impossible to dismiss the two old guys, but the minions behind them are still simple.
Isn't it cooperation? She sees how they work together.
Sometimes, people cannot stick to their own decisions, and the people behind them will coerce them into making another choice.
