Su Zongshan responded with a smile, walked straight to Lian Chongwen, bowed and said: "Envoy Lian, I am not quibbling, but your country's conditions are really too much. Ye Bingbu and Lu Libu have never participated in the New Deal. It has nothing to do with Fujian, which is thousands of miles away. This is clearly a false accusation. You were also seen on another ship that day. It was undoubtedly a mistaken attack by soldiers. How could it involve many officials from the capital? Although the country has grievances, it can’t be unreasonable and act haphazardly, right?”
Lian Chongwen had already colluded with him and wanted to write off the matter. But he was afraid that he could not hide it from others, so he imitated the play played by Ye and Chen. He stood up immediately, blushed and said angrily: "Your Majesty If the country has done such a great evil, even if we don’t ask for fault, we still have to ask for dereliction of duty, right?”
Su Zongshan laughed disdainfully: "Dereliction of duty has its own consequences. How can we generalize it with dismissal from office! Your country is so ignorant of human rights. Could it be that you want to force me to go to war with China?"
"This, this..." Lian Chongwen was choked for a moment, pretending to be embarrassed, and sat back dejectedly: "Okay, okay. It is also appropriate for our country to reconcile the two countries, and we will never force others to make things difficult. You guys said it is free of charge. , just skip this one.”
Niu Yuan supported his chin with one hand and was listening to their argument drowsily. Unexpectedly, the other party agreed without any warning. He was so stunned that he suddenly felt like he had regained consciousness. He sat up straight and glanced around blankly, then stopped turning his head and stared blankly at the scene in front of him.
"Su Zongshan is really the pillar of the country! You have the ability!" The tense heartstrings of the ministers finally let go, and each showed a relieved smile. They gathered around Su Zongshan, bowed and bowed, and the noisy voices of praise could not be heard. , making the atmosphere in the entire hall extremely lively.
But the more lively the scene in front of him became, the more depressed Niu Yuan felt. He had no choice but to look back at Liu Zhennian with a sad look. Liu Zhennian had never seen him look like this before. Thinking that the once high-spirited and arrogant man would be as humble as he is now, he couldn't help but sigh suddenly and couldn't bear it. Immediately, his face sank, he reached out and patted the pillars in the hall, and shouted: "Okay! Now is not the time for small talk. The official business has not yet been completed. How can we be so unorganized and disrupt the order? Everyone, please retreat quietly. Don't leave." It hinders the discussion between the prince and the envoy."
"What Mr. Liu said is absolutely true. Everyone, please retreat. Don't let foreigners see the joke." Su Zongshan also quickly persuaded everyone to move away, and then they were all silent.
"Do you have any objections to the third article?" Lian Chongwen waited for them to return to the train, then returned his eyes to the credentials and asked.
Ye Yongjia was anxious to come forward for this matter, but he was afraid that he would be reckless and did not dare to move without permission. He only moved his feet slightly back and glanced at Cai Xianqing to see what he had in mind.
All the officials knew that this was Ye Yongjia's achievement, but in view of his close relationship with Niu Yuan and his activeness in implementing the New Deal, they had to get into a dilemma: if they protected him, it would probably lead to the tragedy of raising tigers. He will also be squeezed out by the group of loyal people; if he is not protected, Ye Yongjia will fall. Not only will the military situation at the border not be guaranteed, it is also foreseeable that there will be another storm of liquidation in the government and the opposition.
As for the "Liu Party" who hold great power, their attitude is also vague and they each have their own thoughts. Niu Yuan was eager to wipe out this man's achievements so that he could take over the power of the Ministry of War and hope to make a comeback; Su Zongshan was unwilling to offend others; it seemed that only Liu Zhennian could say a word for Ye Yongjia.
But he was still worried about Ye Chen's quarrel just now. Of course a person like him who is experienced in the world can understand it, but it is very difficult for him to understand. He is still thinking in a trance: "Ye Tinglong has always been close to me, and I have no doubts about him. He can also use his intelligence to do his best." I cut through the thorns and thorns to dig out the bad government. Nothing major has happened so far, so why... ugh! Is it possible that the hatred of killing his father is still unforgettable? If he goes to join those hypocritical villains, there will really be no one around me who can save the people at all times. How can I be entrusted with it...' Thinking of this, the loss and guilt in his heart surged up, making his emotions mixed. Chen couldn't help but shed a few old tears from his eyes, moistening his drooping pale eyebrows - he finally chose to be indifferent to Ye Yongjia's life and death.
"Are you okay with this?" Lian Chongwen asked again when he saw no one answered.
Ye Yongjia looked around and saw that all the so-called 'benefactors', 'colleagues' and 'close friends' who usually spoke one after another had disappeared. None of them were willing to stand up and say even a fair word, and none of them were willing to give up the interests between the families. , all looked at him numbly, as if they were looking at a person they had never met. Ye Yongjia saw Liu Zhennian's tears, but in his heart there was only hatred and anger at the false love, and despair at them watching the fire from the other side.
"Get out of the way."
He heard an old and powerful voice coming from behind, and when he looked back, it was Cai Xianqing, the minister.
"Get out of the way!" Cai Xianqing pushed him hard, strode out of the train, looked straight at Lian Chongwen, and fisted: "I have some objections to this, the Minister of War, Cai Xianqing."
Everyone looked at each other and secretly said they were surprised.
"I'm afraid this is the bad idea of the criminal Wu Sixing!" Cai Xianqing said with a sneer, "How vicious, clearly pointing at Ye Shangshu, this is a personal grudge!"
No one expected that he would actually say this. Lian Chongwen was even more surprised, and his face suddenly turned pale: "I'm afraid our king doesn't mean this..."
"Yes, your king must have thought not to do this," Cai Xianqing continued calmly and followed his words, "Wu Sijing must have thought of the past, so he made trouble and wanted to make Ye Shangshu die without a burial. Land! Guys, can you possibly tolerate the Fan people taking advantage of the opportunity of negotiation to drive a wedge and harm me, the ministers of China and North Korea!"
Cai Xianqing has clarified all the self-evident problems, so how can everyone still have a way out? In order to show their tough attitude of not surrendering to foreign countries, they all stood up to accuse Lian Chongwen, and there was a lot of curses.
Seeing that it was difficult to disobey the public opinion, the prince asked categorically: "Envoy Lian, you only have intrigues and intrigues. How shameful! Where is the sincerity of the negotiation?"
Lian Chongwen's face turned red and white after being scolded. He was so ashamed that he could not bear it. He replied in a low voice: "I...I don't have such intention."
"Then erase this one too!" Niu Yuan slapped the table and shouted.
Lian Chongwen saw that this matter could never be accomplished. After hesitating for a moment, he had no choice but to nod his head and said that everything would be done. So, as if someone else was holding his hands down, he had no choice but to erase the two lines of text on the certificate of credence with a thick pen.
