There was a hint of chill in the Jinling County Prison in the early morning.
Lin Feng got up early and did not waste time, but did morning exercises in the prison. This is a habit he has developed since time travel. If he wants to continue to improve his martial arts strength, he needs to practice martial arts on a daily basis.
Lin Feng finished the punching and then sat down to rest in the cell.
After the time had passed, there was the sound of footsteps, but it was the jailer who brought breakfast.
The meal is simple, just ordinary bread.
Lin Feng was not worried and just picked it up and ate it. He looked at Xie Xuan beside him and said while eating the cake: "Brother Xie, when we go to jail, not only will we live in a clean and bright place, but we will also have food to eat in the morning. If it were an ordinary person, , is it possible? It’s good to have one meal a day.”
Xie Xuan also picked up the flour cake and ate it, and said with a smile: "My dear brother, what you said makes sense."
Lin Feng said: "So, when Xie Jun put us in jail, it was actually a delaying strategy to control us first. Unfortunately, the matter is now spreading outside and is out of control."
"I am now waiting for the emperor's summons."
"If the emperor of Jin is a young emperor who has just ascended the throne and has no rights, I have no hope."
"But Sima Chong, the emperor of Jin, inherited the throne for almost twenty years. For such a long time, the emperor has long been no longer a puppet. Even if the Xie family is powerful, it is impossible to bypass the emperor."
Lin Feng's eyes were sharp and he said: "So I am sure that the emperor will definitely summon him."
Xie Xuan nodded, feeling a little disappointed. Because what the Xie family did this time seemed wrong to Xie Xuan. The Xie family should value profits, but what benefits can the Xie family get from starting a war with Da Qin?
Nothing good comes of it.
The Xie family and Da Qin have united, and the Xie family's strength can be further improved.
Unfortunately, Xie Jun didn't think so.
Lin Feng and Xie Xuan had breakfast and waited quietly. Less than half an hour later, there was the sound of rapid footsteps, and the jailer in the cell led a general in.
The general is tall and strong. He looked at Lin Feng in the cell and said: "Lin Feng, I, General Fei Wu, have summoned you to the palace by His Majesty's order. Come with me. In addition, Xie Xuan can be released from prison."
A smile appeared on Lin Feng's face.
coming!
The emperor's summons has come!
Lin Feng stood up and said, "I have a favor for you, General. Please."
Fei Wu nodded and walked out with Lin Feng, and Xie Xuan followed him out of prison. After Lin Feng left prison, the news quickly reached the ears of Jinling County Government Zhong Zhongkang.
Zhong Zhongkang was stunned when he learned that the emperor summoned Lin Feng and even ordered the release of Xie Xuan.
Things are getting serious.
How will he end up next?
This matter is very detrimental to him. Zhong Zhongkang suddenly realized that there was nothing he could do. Because the official position for people like him is too small. When Zhong Zhongkang was panicking, Lin Feng followed Fei Wu into the palace smoothly and went straight to the outside of the hall.
Lin Feng straightened his clothes and stepped in.
The main hall is deep and deep, but fortunately it is daytime and the sun is shining in, so the view is very good. Even so, after entering the hall, there was still a bit of depression. Especially as Lin Feng entered, the officials in the hall were lined up neatly, and everyone looked over, which made people feel depressed.
Lin Feng glanced at him, his expression as usual.
He had thought about today's scene many times in his mind and had already deduced it, so Lin Feng didn't have any worries or fears.
There are too many people, but it doesn’t mean anything.
Lin Feng walked to the center of the hall, looked at the emperor sitting directly above him, bowed and saluted: "Lin Feng, envoy of the Qin Dynasty, pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Jin."
Sima Chong looked at Lin Feng.
The look on his face was like that of a father-in-law looking at his son-in-law. His daughter Xu Liuli, who always had a cold temperament and gave people the feeling of being frozen forever, was now willing to enter the palace for Lin Feng.
This shows Xu Liuli’s thoughts.
This is also an opportunity.
Sima Chong calmed down his mind, regained his composure, and said slowly: "Pingshen!"
Lin Feng bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
After a pause, Lin Feng said: "Your Majesty, I am here on behalf of Great Qin, hoping to promote an alliance between Great Qin and Jin, so that the two countries can help each other. Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived in Jinling, I was arrested and imprisoned on unfounded charges."
"Hahaha……"
At this moment, wanton laughter came out.
A thin figure stood out.
The visitor bowed his hands to Sima Chong, then turned to look at Lin Feng. He said seriously: "I am Dou Xu, the Minister of Rites."
Lin Feng said: "Do you have any advice, Mr. Dou?"
Dou Xu said seriously: "What I am laughing at is that the Qin State is already in danger when it is attacked by the four kingdoms of Xia, Jin, Yan and Qi. Is it too late to think of joining forces with the Jin State at this time?"
"The alliance of the four countries is attacking the Qin Dynasty. The top and bottom are united and the four countries are one. The general trend has been achieved."
"If the four countries send troops, Qin will be destroyed."
"On this occasion, why did Jin give up its alliance and form an alliance with Qin?"
Dou Xu looked around, raised his voice, and said loudly: "Everyone, why do we, the Jin State, abandon the Xia State and unite with small countries like Da Qin?"
A burst of laughter came and went.
Lin Feng looked calm. He shook his head and said confidently: "What Minister Dou said is completely wrong."
Dou Xu said: "I would like to hear your advice."
Lin Feng looked solemn and continued: "The alliance of the four countries looks strong and strong, but in fact they all have their own agendas and their own interests. Your so-called alliance of the four countries is a joke."
Dou Xu said: "You are just using your words."
Lin Feng retorted: "Since Shilang Dou disagrees, I will elaborate on it below. Let's talk about the Yan State first. Over the years, the Yan State has been fighting with the Qin State. From the beginning to the end, the Yan State has been defeated and has not gained any advantage. "
"This time the Four Kingdoms attacked the Qin Dynasty, the Yan State was determined to get a share of the pie. But the people of the Yan State have always been dishonest. They did not care about the overall situation and only cared about their own interests."
"If there is a profit, they will rush forward like a mad dog. If there is no profit, they will hide behind and wait for the opportunity."
"The people of Yan are like jackals."
Lin Feng said: "So the army of Yan State cannot really obey the orders of Xia State and will only act in accordance with the interests of Yan State. They may even let Xia State, Qi State and Jin State contain the Qin army first, and then Waiting for an opportunity to take action.”
Dou Xu's eyes were stern.
Lin Feng is not simple, he is quite knowledgeable.
Dou Xu said: "Although Yan State is only interested in profit, Qi State is different. Qi State is a state of etiquette. If you agree to send troops, you cannot refuse."
Lin Feng said: "Shilang Dou is very wrong."
Dou Xu snorted, flicked his sleeves, cupped his hands and said, "I would like to hear your advice."
Lin Feng said: "The State of Qi is indeed like the State of Jin. They are both states of etiquette and trustworthiness. However, the interests of the State of Qi are different, and the territory of the State of Qi is not adjacent to the Great Qin. Even if the State of Qi defeats the Great Qin, what can be done by the State of Qi? What’s the benefit?”
"Why did Qi send troops? It was just because of Xia's prestige that they had to send troops. Even if they sent troops, they would definitely be fishing in troubled waters, or even work without any effort."
"So Qi's troops and horses, even if they reach the border, cannot attack with all their strength."
"Even the Qi State itself has countless conflicts with the Xia State, and it is even less likely that it will fully help the Xia State. If it really takes the territory of Qin, the Xia State will be strengthened, and the Qi State cannot get a share of the pie, so why should he attack Woolen cloth?"
Lin Feng said seriously: "Shilang Dou, what Qi State considers here is not etiquette and justice, but the actual national interests."
Dou Xu's complexion changed slightly.
He didn't expect that Lin Feng's starting point had completely changed.
Dou Xu was unwilling to give in, and said again: "Even so, so what? The strength of the Xia Kingdom is extremely powerful. With the Xia Kingdom taking the lead, the four-nation alliance will still be stable."
Lin Feng sighed and said: "Speaking of the Xia Kingdom, you are not from the Xia Kingdom and have never been in the Xia Kingdom, so you don't know the roots of the Xia Kingdom. Everyone in the Xia Kingdom in Zhongzhou praises it. In fact, today's Xia Kingdom is already as big as it used to be. Are not the same."
"In today's Xia Kingdom, Emperor Li Chong's mansion uses traitors more heavily, and he is more dedicated to cultivating Taoism and building large-scale construction projects. As a result, the Xia Kingdom suffers from constant disasters and the people impose excessive taxes and heavy taxes."
"The current general at the head of the Xia Kingdom is Xu Gaoyang. This person was single-handedly promoted by Yan Wuji, the Minister of Household Affairs. He climbed up by following the trend and has no ability."
"The army commanded by Xu Gaoyang looks strong, but in fact it is strong on the outside and weak on the inside. Does the Xia Kingdom have combat effectiveness? It has long lost its former combat effectiveness and its former ruling power."
Lin Feng said: "What's funny is that in the Jin court, there are actually people who are afraid of Xia."
Dou Xu's expression changed again and again.
Lin Feng's step-by-step debate refuted Yan, Qi and Xia as worthless.
Of course, this is also a problem.
Dou Xu rolled his eyes and suddenly said: "Lin Feng, we don't know how other countries are doing. But our country, Jin, has strong soldiers and horses, which can determine the outcome in a single battle."
Lin Feng chuckled, with a hint of ridicule.
He glanced at the officials in the court, glanced past Xie Chong, then withdrew his gaze and continued: "The State of Jin is rich, and because His Majesty the Emperor of Jin has worked hard to govern, the army and horses are strong. However, the State of Jin is in a corner, and its specialty is naval warfare, Infantry.”
"Once such a large army goes to fight in the open areas in the north, on the one hand, it is not accustomed to the climate factors, and on the other hand, the army's arms are different. Once it encounters a large number of cavalry fighting, for the Jin State, the Jin State's infantry will not occupy the same place. Advantageous.”
"What's more, there are not many places where Jin State and Da Qin border, and the bordering areas are mainly between Qin State, Jin State, and Xia State. Will Xia State surrender to Jin State and control the main road to Qin State?"
"impossible."
"For the Jin State, attacking the Qin Dynasty will cost a lot of soldiers, but there will not be much benefit on the other hand."
"Why attack?"
Lin Feng was talking eloquently. He stared at Dou Xu and said loudly: "The four countries each have their own thoughts. Minister Dou, the so-called four countries are powerful, but in fact there is nothing to be afraid of. If you talk about a way to break a jar, the Jin Kingdom To participate, Da Qin concentrated all its forces on the showdown with Jin. What does Jin think?"
