This news made the civil and military officials of Huan Guo panic and were at a loss.
Someone said sadly: "Your Majesty, once this happens, if the Qin army attacks me, what should I do..."
"With the domineering power of King Qin, he will never give up..."
After hearing these words, King Huan's heart went cold. He slumped back on the king's chair. He looked at Qiu Rong and said sternly: "It's all you! It's all your bad idea! I, Huan Guo, have been ruined." In crisis!"
Qiu Rong lowered his head, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I never thought that someone like Ji Ao would appear among our Huan army. This person became greedy when he saw money. I really didn't expect that..."
"Calm down your anger? Calm down your anger!" King Huan's eyes were almost splitting: "Now Yang Qing'an is dead! That was the third-grade governor of the Qin State! Anyang's official silver was robbed again! It was all done by the generals of Huan's army, you let me How to explain to Qin!"
"This, this..." Qiu Rong lowered his head and felt regretful. In fact, I don't blame him at all for this matter. Who would have thought that Ji Ao would be so bold.
Seeing that the prime minister was being trained, Guo Kai was secretly happy and went out and said: "Your Majesty, the matter has come to this. In my opinion, I should send an envoy to Qin as soon as possible to explain the matter to the King of Qin. At the same time, I immediately issued a notice that he was wanted throughout the country. To capture Ji Ao and others, as long as the thief can be arrested and sent to the King of Qin, this matter may be settled."
"Did you hear that? Did you hear that? This is the advice of a good minister!" King Huan said with a glare.
"I am scared, but my only wish in my life is to share my worries with the king." Guo Kai quickly saluted.
At the same time, the Qin Dynasty court.
After reading Anyang's letter, Xiao Yuan became furious, slapped the Wang case in front of him, stood up and said angrily:
"How unreasonable! King Huan, a common man! How dare you kill my minister of Qin!"
His thunderbolt was furious, and the jade beads on his forehead trembled. When the ministers below saw this, they all lowered their bodies. Liu Yuzhi stepped out and said, "I dare to ask the king, why is he so angry?"
Xiao Yuan glanced at him and said angrily: "Anyang County Governor Yang Qing'an, Mr. Yang, has always been self-denial and diligent, and his merits are in the country. However, the Huan Army not only unreasonably detained Mr. Yang's official silver shipped to the country, but also brutally killed him. !”
What! ? Hearing this, not only Liu Yuzhi was startled, but the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty also exploded.
The scene was a bit chaotic for a moment, and then Jiang Yi stood up and said seriously: "Your Majesty! Mr. Yang governs Anyang, and his political achievements are obvious to all. However, Anyang and Huan have always been in harmony with each other. Huan Jun's actions are obviously intended to provoke !”
"That's right." Another minister said: "I heard that Anyang County is more prosperous and stable than the nearby counties of Huan State. This must be because Huan State was jealous of Mr. Yang's talents and used this to get rid of a good minister of our country. , Your Majesty, you must keep an eye on it."
"Master Yang is the third-grade county guard of our Qin State. No matter who kills him for no reason, he must give an explanation to the Qin State!"
After listening to what the ministers said, Xiao Yuan took a deep breath and said in a loud voice: "Listen, sir! Mr. Yang is an official of our Great Qin and an important minister of my king! I will never give up on this matter!" I will seek justice for him!”
He was really angry because Yang Qing'an's political achievements were so good and he was loyal to Xiao Yuan. He was a rare and good minister with excellent political performance, and Xiao Yuan regarded him as an important minister in the future.
His unprovoked murder also made Xiao Yuan feel like he had lost his arm.
After the shock, he also glanced at Shangguan Wenruo and others, but the latter did not express his opinion, nor did he dare to look at Xiao Yuan. He lowered his head slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Quit!" In anger, he was too lazy to talk nonsense, and he also needed to calm down about this matter.
He was dressed in royal robes, with a royal crown on his head, and nine strings of jade beads on his forehead. He strode out of the hall. All the ministers naturally bent down and saluted: "Best farewell to your Majesty——"
After the court meeting, people gathered together and discussed today's events, and there was a lot of anger in their words.
study.
Xu Hu, with a battle sword hanging on his waist, a suit of armor, big arms and a round waist, was waiting at the palace gate.
At present, Shangguan Wenruo and Jia Youzheng came here unexpectedly. Neither of them said anything in the court. When they met at this time, they would also smile.
Seeing the two of them, Xu Hu stepped aside and said, "My lords, please."
After hearing this, the two couldn't help but look at each other, and then entered one after another.
In the study, Xiao Yuan was standing behind the case. When the two of them saluted, he said concisely: "Say it."
Shangguan Wenruo pondered for a moment and then spoke first: "Your Majesty, Mr. Yang's murder is actually a loss for the Qin State, which is also saddening. In this matter, the Huan State will definitely send envoys to Qin."
Xiao Yuan glanced at him.
Shangguan Wenruo continued: "I dare to ask your Majesty, if Ruo Huan's arrival and repeated lobbying can calm the anger in your Majesty's heart."
"Master Yang's death cannot be solved by lobbying!" Xiao Yuan said directly.
Hearing this, Shangguan Wenruo and Jia You couldn't help but look at each other, and the latter immediately said: "I would venture to guess that the king is both angry and sad, but also happy."
"I am angry at Huan Jun's actions, sad at Master Yang's death, and happy that the opportunity to pacify the north has come."
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan's eyes narrowed and he looked at him faintly.
Seeing this, Jia You was shocked and quickly bowed his head: "I'm talking nonsense and mistaking the king's will. I really deserve death."
Xiao Yuan still stared at him, and the latter seemed to feel the gaze, lowering his body, while his Adam's apple slid, and he swallowed secretly.
"Master Jia, continue."
"Yes." Jia You responded quickly and said, "I believe that Master Yang's death is the best opportunity for our country to send troops to conquer Huan. If the soldiers and civilians in the country know about it, they will also resent Huan's actions. This is because the division has a reputation and the military's morale It can also inspire great excitement!”
"With the force of tigers and wolves, if we attack Xiaoxiao, we will be able to defeat the enemy like a bamboo!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shangguan Wenruo followed up and said: "I agree that this is a God-given opportunity to pacify the north. The king should order the three armies to destroy the Huan Kingdom in one battle!"
When they first wanted to go south, the two of them strongly opposed it, but now they unanimously advised against it, which shows the importance of pacifying the northern border.
When Xiao Yuan heard this, he said calmly: "But the war is going on, what if Lingguo insists on interfering?"
"Therefore, Your Majesty needs further planning." Jia You received it immediately.
Xiao Yuan was shocked: "Oh? Master Jia, what's the best plan?"
Jia You said directly: "The border between Ling and Xuan seems to be peaceful now, but in fact, the Ling Army has several garrison troops. Your Majesty should use a caravan to sneak into the Xuan Kingdom border fortress, and then put on the armor of the Ling Army and use more than a hundred riders to wreak havoc on Xuan. land, burning and killing their villages.”
"King Xuanhui will be furious when he hears this! Even if he doesn't send troops to attack Ling, he will be in the same boat as the Ling Kingdom."
"At this point, the Spiritual Army will never dare to move again."
