Xiao Huangqi's attitude at today's court meeting made Dongfang Yin feel extremely unhappy and terrible.
"Your Majesty, are you very dissatisfied with Xiao Huangqi's attitude today?" Zheng Yu asked tentatively.
Zheng Yunai is Dongfang Yin's closest adviser. The monarch and his ministers have been getting along for so many years. If Dongfang Yin has something on his mind, it is almost written on his face. As soon as he guessed, he knew what Dongfang Yin was probably thinking.
But to be honest, even Zheng Yu felt that Xiao Huangqi's attitude today was indeed a bit too much.
after all! There is a difference between the monarch and his ministers, and there should be respect and reverence.
well!
Dongfang Yin let out a long sigh, and his unhappiness calmed down a lot.
Said: "He Xiao Huangqi is about the same age as Gu. His talent and ability are indeed very strong. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is comparable to the old Duke Ding."
"But after all, he was young and frivolous, and he was a little arrogant. After leading troops and fighting a few battles outside, he became very arrogant."
"But don't forget that this Chu State is Gu's, not Xiao Huangqi's. Gu can give him the position of governor, but he can also remove it."
It can be seen that Dongfang Yin is really angry this time.
Xiao Huangqi was indeed very powerful. He opened up and expanded the territory of the Chu State, conquered Yangzhou and Dingyue Prefecture, took half of Yuzhou, and fought against the Qi Dynasty. But after all, he was still a little arrogant, even thinking that Dongfang Yin was nothing more than that.
"Your Majesty, please calm down!" Zheng Yu bowed down in great humility. "The Governor is young and energetic, which is understandable. I hope your Majesty will not take it to heart!"
Xiao Huang has both talent and appearance, and has never failed since his debut.
Who else could it be, who wouldn’t be arrogant?
In addition, Xiao Huangqi is almost unique in Jiangdong. He has no comparable opponents around him. It is very normal to develop a arrogant character.
"It's not that I want to do anything to him? But after all, the king and his ministers are one and the same! If a minister doesn't even have a sense of awe, how can he make Gu feel that he is loyal to Gu?" Dongfang Yin said. After that, he stood up slowly, turned his back on Zheng Yu, and said helplessly: "I am alone after all, I am too arrogant to him."
After all, his ability to control his ministers was inferior to that of the King of Qin and the King of Qi.
"That's all!... Zheng Yu, tell me, can our alliance with the two countries withstand Qin's attack?"
"I have no idea in my heart!" What Dongfang Yin is most worried about now is the Qin army's menacing eastward march.
after all! Even if the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms amounted to one million, they might not be his opponent Dongfang Yu! The Beiliang and Huangpao uprisings are the best proof.
Um?
Zheng Yu stroked the beard on his chin, with a solemn look on his face, "The Qin State is now very powerful. The King of Qin has many powerful advisers and an army of more than 700,000. I want to defeat Qin. It is almost difficult to defeat the Qin State! The probability of being able to defeat the Qin State is still very high."
"Qin...is it really invincible?" Dongfang Yin asked.
"Dongfang Yu is a great hero in the world. From the incident of forbearance when he was a child, we can see that this man's ambition has long been tied to the world. Today's Qin State is at its peak, and the only one who can defeat Qin State is There is only one method...that is to consume, to consume King Qin to death."
"We and other countries will definitely be able to overthrow the Qin State, even if it means destroying the Qin State, it may not be possible. But in the meantime, the most important thing is to resist the Qin State's attack." Zheng Yu told a one-sided, yet extremely realistic truth .
The power of Qin is known to all the world!
If Dongfang Yin is not afraid in his heart, then he is lying.
"Sir, can you see whether this alliance with Wu and Yue can be successful?"
Zheng Yu shook his head thoughtfully and nodded again, "Your Majesty! Instead of placing your hopes on foreign countries, it is better to rely more on yourself."
"Even if it is an alliance of the Three Kingdoms, if the three countries are not united and each has their own little calculations, they may not be able to defeat Qin."
"Have you ever thought about it, your Majesty! If any of the two countries Wu and Yue does not agree to the alliance, then! It will be difficult to promote the alliance of the three countries. If during the battle, if any uncertain factors occur within the two countries, This is an extremely fatal blow to our Three Kingdoms Alliance Army!"
Having said this, Dongfang Yin's expression turned extremely ugly.
Now, he really doubted whether Zheng Yu was an undercover agent sent by the Qin State. This doesn't work, that doesn't work, then just say, Chu State is in trouble.
Will we still chat?
"Zheng Yu, as you said, is it still necessary for the Chu State to resist the Qin State? Why not surrender directly and go further?" Dongfang Yin said angrily.
If it weren't for being in the court today, Xiao Huangqi would have a strategy to defend against the enemy, otherwise! How many people in the civil and military dynasty raised their hands in favor of surrender?
Hahaha!
Zheng Yu, with a smile on his face, said: "Your Majesty, your words are wrong! All civil and military officials in this dynasty can surrender, but you, your Majesty, cannot surrender to Qin."
Dongfang Yin also knew that after all, the overlord of his side and the king of a country would not be stable if Qin's subjugation of Jiangdong was not alive.
"That's it! That's it! When the soldiers come, they will be blocked, and when the water comes, the soil will cover them up. You will go to the Xiao Mansion later, find the Grand Governor, and give him this tiger talisman. And tell the Grand Governor that all the troops in Jiangdong will be dispatched by him."
"Leave the food and grass management to Wen Xiang. If we can't defeat the Qin army, let the Xiao family go to hell with Gu Gu!"
At least Dongfang Yin is not as spineless as Dongfang Jie. If Jinling City was really captured, he would not hesitate to commit suicide on top of the Jinling Hall.
"No!" Zheng Yu accepted the order.
After chatting with Dongfang Yin again for a while, he went down.
At this time, Xiao Huangqi also received a cold treatment from Xiao Shan after returning to the Xiao family.
Although Xiao Huangqi is famous outside, he still has a sense of awe for his father. even! It's a bit stronger than fearing Dongfang Yin.
Inside the Xiaofu Ancestral Hall…
Xiao Shan sat on the high hall and looked at Xiao Shan seriously.
"Kneel down!" Xiao Shan said in a cold tone.
"Father!"
Xiao Huangqi was a little confused.
"I'll make you kneel down!" Xiao Shan roared directly, and his anger could be heard with open ears.
thump!
Xiao Huangqi lifted up his trousers and robe and knelt down without hesitation.
"Is father still angry about what happened today?" Xiao Huangqi had long realized that from the first moment he entered the hall, Xiao Shan looked at him as if he wanted to kill someone.
"You blatantly killed General Qin, so I won't pursue it. After all, what you did was for the Chu State, but! If you don't respect the king, you have to take care of it as a father."
"Do you think it's natural that you are out there, opening up and expanding the territory of Chu State, and being superior to the king?" Xiao Shan scolded.
Xiao Huangqi was naturally dissatisfied and murmured: "So what? We, the Xiao family, are opening up and expanding territory for the Chu Kingdom. Shouldn't we have a little pride?"
