After they stood up, they knelt and sat opposite each other in front of the desk. The ant king turned his attention to the little ant and its pangolin. He was very surprised and asked: "Xiangguo, pangolins have always been our natural enemies. We are afraid of pangolins. We want to hear what happened between you. Tell us about it." Other officials were also curious, as well as the people's representatives sitting here, who said, "Just tell us, we want to hear it too." The Prime Minister looked at them and then at the pangolin. The pangolin just nodded silently. Xiao Yi could only tell the story of this thrilling process slowly. They were dumbfounded and respected the little ants as gods. Conquering the pangolin was a great thing for them. Then Xiao Yi stood up and said: "Your Majesty, our ant tribe has been in war for a long time, and the country is poor and short of people. Now we mainly focus on cultivating the people, exempting taxes for three years, and encouraging production. Secondly, the border is unrest, and the termites have no control over our ant tribe. We should send troops to guard the canyon to prevent the enemy from invading. Draft laws so that the people can abide by the laws. Law enforcement must be strict. As the saying goes, laws should be used to regulate troubled times." After hearing these suggestions from the little ants, the Ant King thought that this The words made sense and said: "General Fierce Ant." General Fierce Ant stood up and said: "I am here." The Ant King added: "Do you have any outstanding generals under your command?" Fierce Ant recommended Yi Shi under his command to the Ant King. ant. The ant king cast his gaze outside the palace and said: "Call General Yi to enter the palace." The soldiers came out of the cave and told the ants of Yi to enter the cave. They entered the palace, stood on the main hall, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty." The ant king said: "Yi General, please rise." Then he said: "I will appoint you as the general on the edge of the town. You will lead 800,000 troops to guard the canyon. You can exercise the power of rewards and punishments and do things that are convenient for me. The big head of the worker ants will be the supervisor." Then, The ant king walked down the pedestal, stood in front of General Yi Shi, took off the sword hanging from his waist, and said: "This is the sword of the king. It is given to you. You can use it to kill first and then kill." The Yi Shi ant stretched out his sword. He took the sword with both hands, raised it above his head, knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me the sword." He turned around and walked up to the pedestal, stood in front of the throne, and said, "Where is my minister, Xu Yi?" Xu Yi stood up and said: "Your Majesty." The ant king sat down and faced the eunuch standing next to him. The eunuch stood up and said: "Xu ant kneels down to listen to the order." Xu ant knelt down and said: "Wei ministers accept the order." The eunuch announced: "Feng Xu ant. Yi is the chief minister, in charge of criminal law and assists the prime minister in drafting and implementing laws." Xu Yi accepted the imperial edict and said: "I accept the edict."
On the termite tribe's side, civil and military officials stood in the court, and the prime minister persuaded the termite king to use troops against the termite tribe. So Xiangguo stood up and said: "Your Majesty, according to the reports from the scouts, the canyon is empty and there are no soldiers to guard it. We urgently need to send troops to the canyon and capture it, and then the ant tribe's capital city will go to explore the bag for supplies. Your Majesty, please send troops in an emergency." Prince Division He stood up and said: "It is unjust to use the unjust to attack the right. The ants send their martyrs back to their hometown for burial to show friendship, but it is unwise for us to attack them." Facing the prince's division, Xiangguo said: " You are just a bitch. In this era of weak and strong predators, all the benevolence and righteousness you have done are gone." The prince's master replied, "Do you want to accuse the king of being unkind and unjust? Are you going to be the target of all the princes and countries? You What's the purpose of this?" He then faced the Termite King and said: "Your Majesty, the two countries are friendly to each other, establishing a brotherly state and recuperating with the people. This is the way to strengthen the country." The Prime Minister and the Prince's Division stood side by side and said: "Your Majesty, While the canyon is empty, the Ant Tribe has not yet established a stable foothold and launches an attack. This opportunity must not be missed. If we wait for the Ant Tribe to react and send heavy troops to garrison the canyon, it will be difficult for us to attack again. Please make an immediate decision, Your Majesty." Prince Division. He also argued with reason and said: "Your Majesty, no, if the war breaks out, it will consume the people's financial resources, and the national economy will regress for ten years. If other countries take this opportunity to attack, what can we do to resist? Your Majesty, we We should develop post-war production, increase revenue, and fill the national treasury so that we can compete with other countries." The Prime Minister insisted on urging the King to send troops, but the Prince's division objected, so they argued endlessly in the court and left the Termite King aside. Look at them stupidly. He slapped his hand on the desk, stood up and said angrily: "Okay." The Prime Minister immediately knelt down, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty." The prince's master walked up and bowed, holding the tablet in his hand, and said: "Your Majesty, you must not say anything to The ants are sending troops. This is an unjust army. A war without the heart of insects will be defeated." Xiangguo stood up and faced the prince's division, then faced the termite king and said: "Your Majesty, sir, he is using strong words to make sense." The termite king stood up and faced the prince's division. , said: "Baizhen is exempted from the post of admonishing the officials. There is no need to go to court in the future. Go home and reflect." The prince's master knelt down and put down the wat board and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty." Then he stood up and walked out of the court with a flick of his sleeves. Hall, walked out of the cave, looked up at the blue sky and white sun, and said: "The blue sky and white sun are in vain." Then he looked back, and it took him a long time to leave. The Prime Minister stepped forward, bowed and held his scepter, and said: "Your Majesty." The Termite King said: "Retreat from the court." Then he withdrew.
Bai Zhen, the admonishing doctor, completely offended the prime minister this time. Last time, the envoy of the Ant Tribe, Xu Yi, first came to visit Bai Zhen, the admonishing doctor, instead of the Prime Minister. In other words, the Ant Tribe only knew that Bai Zhen, the admonishing doctor, had ignored the Prime Minister, so how could he not feel resentful. This clearly overwhelms the prime minister. How can he accommodate an admonishing doctor, Bai Zhen? Bai Zhen is an expert in governing the country and a versatile military expert, and is stronger than the Prime Minister in both aspects.
After the Prime Minister returned to his palace, he was very angry. Now he went against it again and said, "I will definitely kill this old man Bai Zhen." When the Termite King ascended to the throne for the first time, kings from various countries sent envoys to congratulate him. When envoys from Ruluo Nanzhou, Ruluo Xizhou, various ant countries, and insect countries arrived, the Prime Minister prepared etiquette matters and first arranged for these envoys to settle down in the post house. The envoy from Ruluo Nanzhou stood up and said, "I am going to see the king tonight, and I would like to ask the Prime Minister to make arrangements." After saying this, he secretly handed some silver objects and said, "There will be a generous reward when the matter is completed." The Prime Minister weighed it. The silver in his sleeves said happily: "Okay, I will arrange for your envoy to see the king tonight. I also ask your envoy to have a good rest in the post house. If you have any inappropriate words, please just tell me." The envoy from Luo Nanzhou looked at him. The Prime Minister said: "Okay, I will wait for the good news from the Prime Minister in the post house."
In the middle of the night, the Prime Minister brought the envoy from Ruluo Nanzhou into the palace. The envoy from Ruluo Nanzhou stood in front of the palace gate waiting for the termite king's summons. The Prime Minister entered, faced King Termite, and said: "Your Majesty, the envoys from Ruluo Nanzhou are waiting in front of the palace gate to be summoned." King Termite asked: "What kind of things must be requested late at night without waiting to be discussed in the hall tomorrow?" ." The Prime Minister was even more respectful and said: "Your Majesty, the envoy said that this matter needs to be discussed in detail with you alone." The Termite King said: "Okay, let it come in." The envoy from Ruluo Nanzhou walked in and looked up. The termite king sitting in front of the desk said: "Your Majesty, do you still know me?" The termite king looked at it and said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, I don't know why you came here late at night?" After the envoy sat down, he kept looking at it. The termite king said after a long time: "My king, have you forgotten the promise you made to my king?" The termite king suddenly remembered this matter, and the envoy said again: "My king is very unhappy." He said, "I dare not forget. Aren't you planning to discuss this matter with the Prime Minister?" The envoy looked at the face of the termite king and said, "Okay, I will wait for the good news from the king in the post house." After saying this, After that, he glanced around the palace and walked away.
Later, Xiangguo walked in and saw the termite king sitting in front of the desk, worried, and said: "Your Majesty, are you worried about Bai Zhen?" He is good at figuring out the king's thoughts. The termite king raised his head and asked: "Xiangguo, how do you think this matter should be handled?" Xiangguo just said: "Kill Baizhen." The termite king was embarrassed by this matter and asked: "Baizhen is the gentleman of the few ants. In addition, it has won the hearts of the people, is loyal to our termite clan, and has thousands of customers. How can the ants kill it? It needs a reason to kill it, a reason for the people to believe it." The Prime Minister was also embarrassed by this matter. This thing is really difficult to handle. It kept thinking and suddenly turned its eyes. At this time, it thought of some bad idea and said: "With Bai Zhen here, it is difficult for us to attack the ant tribe. If we don't kill Bai Zhen, how will we attack the ants?" King Luonan told me, if King Ruluonan sends an army to attack me, how will we resist? Is Bai Zhen more important or the termite tribe more important? I think the king knows it. I know that Bai Zhen has been dissatisfied with the king for a long time, so I will give it up before the king When it was about to become an official, it came out of the cave and said, "The blue sky and the bright sun are all in vain." "What does this mean? This is a crime of great disrespect. Also, when Ruluo Xizhou was resisting the Qin army, he shot and killed the great king Fu Yi and his son. He was punished for several crimes. It was enough to convict him of death. This would also be a good way to treat Ruluo. King Nan has an explanation. If we want to kill Baizhen, we can use the name of being summoned by the king to trick him into entering Da Sikou Yamen for trial, and then put him on death row." The termite king was happy and said: "The Prime Minister has the best solution." The Prime Minister knelt down and said, He said: "I am willing to help you solve the problem for your Majesty." The Termite King breathed a sigh of relief, as if opening his heart, and said: "Okay, let's leave this matter to the Prime Minister." The Prime Minister accepted it happily, stood up and said: "I'll do it now."
Xiang Guo walked out of the palace, went to Sima Mansion, and led his troops to Bai Mansion. Soldier Jia stood in front of the gate of Baifu, stepped forward to knock on the door, and then broke in. The Prince's Master came out to greet him and said, "Why did the Prime Minister come to my White House with all his troops?" The Prime Minister looked around and saw the Prince's Master standing among his students. The red-headed ant rushed out, drew out his long sword, and shouted: "I see Which of you dares to touch my husband?" The red-headed ants swarmed forward and scolded. The Prime Minister was frightened and stepped back quickly. He immediately said: "It is the king who has summoned your husband to enter the palace." The prince's master faced the red-headed ants and said: "Don't be reckless." When the master left, he ordered the students standing behind him, saying: "You must stay in the house and don't act rashly." Then he walked out and saw these soldiers and horses, and asked: "Since the king wants to summon me, why do you bring so many soldiers?" Horse?" The Prime Minister immediately explained and said: "The King is going to send troops to the ant tribe. You are the King's husband. The King listens to you. Only you can persuade the King." The Prince's Master asked again: "Then what is the Prime Minister doing? What do you think?" Xiangguo hurriedly replied: "The king of the ant tribe worships Xiaoyi as his prime minister, and he has millions of elite soldiers who are difficult to attack." The prince's master was very pleased and said: "It is not easy for the prime minister to understand the power of it, good! You and I will go together to meet the king." Xiangguo turned sideways and said, "Sir, please get in the car." All the disciples rushed out of the mansion and called: "Sir."
