Nie Chen's meaning is very simple.
His response was also extremely simple.
The court asked him for money. Others said he had no money, but he asked the court for more money.
The imperial court asked him for troops, but others refused to give them, but instead he asked the imperial court for more troops.
The best defense is offense, and the best way to bargain is to offer a price that is completely unacceptable to the other party.
General Sima Luan was shaking with anger, pointed at Nie Chen and shouted,
"Huangkou boy, how dare you say that my general's ability to command troops is not as good as yours? As a high-ranking general of the imperial court, I am a high-ranking official. I am in charge of the country's troops. I have been familiar with military books since I was a child..."
"Then I dare to ask the general, how many battles have you won?"
Nie Chen asked lazily.
"I...this general has never commanded an army, so how can I have any chance of winning a battle?"
"Yes, how can there be any natural talents? Which commander who is famous throughout the country has not been tempered in one war after another and used war to prove his talents?
Which person is famous for reading military books?
You people who are ruining the country by talking on paper and empty talk are the worms in my gale!
If the whole country's troops and horses are put into your hands, it will be a disaster for the country and the people! "
The general stared and said angrily,
"Hmph, as long as you give me time and military power, I will be able to hone my skills and come up with a decent victory!"
Nie Chen snorted and countered,
"What kind of training are you going to use? I'm going to use the life of Feng Guo'erlang to test you? I'm going to use the safety of my country, Feng Guo, to test you?"
Instead of cultivating a new talent, it would be better to use a ready-made person who has been tempered.
In terms of qualifications and experience in fighting, which of the four kings is not better than you?
In terms of talents and skills in military management, which of the four kings is not more mature than you?
If you really want to elect a general marshal of the country's military forces, among the five of us, any one of them is more qualified than you! "
After speaking, Nie Chen hugged the emperor and said,
"Your Majesty, I ask each of the four kings to lend me 200,000 horses. I will definitely lead the troops out of the customs, wipe out Qi State, and take all their money and food to our Feng Kingdom. By then, will our Feng Kingdom still be short of money and food?" All crises have been solved!”
Everyone's eyes turned to the emperor again.
The emperor smiled bitterly and said,
"Nie Aiqing, sit down first, and we will discuss this matter slowly."
"yes!"
Nie Chen went back and sat down again.
Before the emperor could speak again, King Zhennan stood up and said,
"Your Majesty, I think the proposal to conquer the Northern Marquis is a good one, but the person to lead the army needs to be changed.
I feel that I am the most suitable candidate. Each of the four of them borrows 200,000 troops from me, and I will definitely be able to defeat the Qi State. After all, no one knows the Qi State better than I do! "
The emperor smiled bitterly and was about to speak when King Anton stood up again and said,
"Your Majesty, I also think that the proposal to conquer the Northern Marquis is a very good one. If you give these soldiers and horses to me, I will be able to wipe out the Qi Kingdom and avenge the previous humiliation!"
King Jingshan also said,
"Your Majesty, I also feel that the Sichuan Kingdom has been too restless recently, and we should destroy it. After taking control of the Sichuan Kingdom, we will dominate the north and southwest. At that time, we can advance, attack, retreat and defend, and deal with Qi and Chu The country can attack from both sides.
I volunteered to destroy the Sichuan Kingdom! "
Seeing the three kings scrambling one after another, the emperor smiled bitterly.
He wanted to seize power, not give military power to the four kings to make them stronger.
If these kings really took over more military power, the first thing they would do would be to destroy the other kings first.
Then, the emperor turned his attention to King Pingxi, who had been silent.
"King Pingxi, what do you think about this matter?"
King Pingxi said lightly,
"Your Majesty, you want to seize our military power because you are worried about our rebellion, but have you ever thought about what would happen if all our military power were handed over to Sima Luan.
What should you do if he rebels? "
As soon as King Pingxi said this, everyone present changed their expressions and became as silent as a cicada.
If it was true that Nie Chen and the three kings were quarreling with the emperor, the right minister and the general, and there was still a fig leaf lying around, then now, King Pingxi ruthlessly tore off this fig leaf.
Not only was it torn off, but the fig leaf was also balled up and hit hard on the emperor's face.
As soon as King Pingxi said this, King Andong immediately burst into tears.
"Your Majesty, my Qian family has been loyal to the country for generations. Three generations have served the country. We have devoted several generations of hard work to the country. You cannot be so unjust.
I am extremely loyal and dedicated to my country. How can you suspect that I am going to rebel?
Even if I die, I will not dare to have the slightest intention to rebel. Your Majesty is aware of this. "
The emperor felt a headache when he heard it, and quickly waved his hands and said,
"Okay, okay, dear, don't cry anymore."
King Anton's crying stopped suddenly, and he continued eating and drinking leisurely.
The main focus is to retract and retract freely.
After the emperor secretly cursed the old fox, he turned to King Pingxi and said,
"My dear, I don't doubt that you want to rebel, I am very clear about your loyalty.
It's just that today's strong winds have really reached the point where the country will perish if it is not governed. I have to make changes. "
King Pingxi stood up and said coldly,
"I request your Majesty to kill the two rebels, Tong Yuan and Sima Luan!"
The emperor smiled awkwardly and asked,
"What does Aiqing mean by this? How did the two of them become rebels?"
King Pingxi said coldly,
"With the military power in our hands, strong winds can be stabilized, and if the military power is separated, we can ensure mutual restraint and no one rebels.
Under the leadership of people like us who are good at fighting, foreign enemy armies will be frightened and dare not invade!
But Tong Yuan and Sima Luan have repeatedly encouraged Your Majesty to seize our military power and concentrate all military power in the capital and in the hands of Sima Luan. What is the purpose of this?
It must be for rebellion and to take His Majesty's life.
Even if they don't resist, if the enemy country sees that our country has abandoned those who can recruit and fight, and instead handed over military power to a man who has nothing in his heart, he will definitely think that our country can be bullied, and attack it in groups, killing my people and occupying our territory. My land!
Your Majesty, take back our military power,
This is a self-destructive move!
This is a subversive move!
This is an act of subjugation to a country and a species!
These two people are not stupid and have no talent, but they have sinister intentions and want to destroy me, Dafeng! "
As soon as King Pingxi said this, all the officials present took a deep breath.
This taciturn King Pingxi would never speak, but when he spoke, his words would shake the world like thunder, deafening and enlightening!
Sima Luan was shaking with anger and said,
"King Pingxi, please don't talk nonsense, we have no intention of rebellion!"
King Pingxi was too lazy to answer him and sat down directly. Nie Chen took the words and replied,
“That’s because you don’t have the strength to rebel.
If you don't rebel without strength, you just don't have the ability and the opportunity.
Having strength but not rebelling is called loyalty. "
