Chapter 801 Playing

What does it mean to send troops unconditionally? To put it bluntly, if there is a war on Xuanguo's side, there is no need to send envoys to Qin. Qin will immediately join the war after learning about it.

The Qin army is brave and good at fighting, and is known as tigers and wolves in the world. It is undoubtedly very exciting to have such a strong and reliable ally.

King Xuan had previously declared war on the four kingdoms, which would definitely lead to resentment among the four kingdoms. This was also something that Xuan's ministers were worried about.

Xiao Yuan's words can be said to have solved this problem exactly.

Many ministers showed joy on their faces, and some couldn't help but say: "Does His Majesty the King of Qin really mean what he said? If Wu Chu intends to attack, Qin will stand on our side unconditionally?"

"I, the king of a country, will talk nonsense in this court meeting hall, in front of Lord Xuan and other ministers?" Xiao Yuan asked rhetorically.

"Ah, my words were inappropriate. Don't blame me, Your Highness." The minister said quickly, his face even more joyful.

Wang Su also stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Since Your Highness wants to enter into a long-term alliance, do you have a letter of credence?"

"Of course." Xiao Yuan did not hesitate.

"In this case, I agree with His Highness the King of Qin's proposal to use World War II as the fourth war. If Qin Xuan can always be united, they will indeed not be afraid of any country." Wang Su said.

Xiao Yuan was delighted and just about to speak, Yao Tingyu stood up again and said: "This alliance is good, but..."

When King Xuan saw this, he said in a calm voice: "Prime Minister, you don't have to look forward and backward. If you have anything to say, just say it directly."

Yao Tingyu swallowed, as if he wanted to say something, but didn't know how to speak. He seemed hesitant to speak, and subconsciously looked at Xiao Yuan.

He was a veteran of the two dynasties of the Xuan Dynasty. He had always been loyal and assisted King Xuan. It is understandable that there were some small actions between the king and his ministers.

King Xuan understood that he might have something to say that was not convenient for him to say in front of Xiao Yuan.

But after thinking about it for a while, King Xuan directly ignored the issue and said to the ministers: "What do you think about the permanent alliance between the two countries proposed by Brother Qin Wang? If you don't have any opinions, it's settled.

"

All the ministers looked at each other, and then saluted in unison: "May the two countries always form an alliance--"

"Okay!" King Xuan was overjoyed and said with a smile on his face: "I have hosted a banquet in the palace. Today, all the ministers will not leave. They must entertain King Qin well on behalf of our country."

"I obey your orders——"

Xiao Yuan smiled bitterly. Needless to say, he must have been drunk again.

King Xuan also stood up and walked off the throne, came to Xiao Yuan's side, stretched out his hand and said: "Brother Wang, please."

"please."

The two kings began to walk side by side towards the outside of the palace, and the ministers naturally followed closely behind them.

On the grand 100-step steps outside the main hall, every few steps on both sides, there are palace guards and civil and military officials with straight waists, all wearing official uniforms. The team is still very large.

As people walked to the banquet place, they naturally gathered in groups of twos and threes and talked about it.

Someone said: "The King of Qin came to make an alliance in person, which shows that the Qin State attaches great importance to it..."

"After the long-term alliance is confirmed this time, Qin and Xuan will be connected in a line. Between advancement and retreat, other countries may not dare to provoke them easily..."

"Yeah..." Someone else sighed: "In the past, Chu State had always been helped by Wu State and often invaded our Xuan Kingdom border. Now it's time for us to be invincible..."

Many ministers were very optimistic about this, but Yao Tingyu sighed softly.

Wang Su was walking with him. Seeing this, he smiled slightly and said, "Is the Prime Minister worried?"

Yao Tingyu glanced at him and said: "To be honest with you, Mr. Wang, I just came to the court. With the King of Qin here, I really can't say anything. Qin declared a mutual alliance, which is good, but it is equivalent to tying our country to Qin."

On the chariot."

"Just imagine, the King of Qin said this today. If the Qin army attacks Ling tomorrow, should our country send troops? If we send troops, we will help the King of Qin conquer the world. If we don't send troops, it will not be justified to our allies. This is a dilemma.

"

"Well... the Prime Minister's concerns are not unreasonable." Wang Su agreed at first, but then smiled and said: "If that's the case, then why doesn't the Prime Minister think the other way around."

"What's more, this alliance is just to ensure that Qin Xuan will never be hostile in the future. Regarding the issue of sending troops, when it is beneficial to the country, he will join the war. When it is not beneficial to the country, with the wisdom of the king, I am afraid that I will not make a decision.

?”

Hearing what he said, Yao Tingyu thought about it carefully, then nodded and said: "After listening to Mr. Wang's words, I suddenly became enlightened."

"No, the prime minister's words are serious." Wang Su smiled. He was the first adviser to King Xuan. How could he not see these things before? As a minister, sometimes he has to understand the king's intentions.

The fact that King Qin can come to the court meeting hall today has already explained the problem and shows that King Xuan has already agreed in his heart.

Even if he objected, it would probably not help the matter, but would make King Xuan unhappy. Wang Su was very smart and would not go with the flow. In his opinion, this was not a bad thing anyway.

Near noon, all the ministers sat down.

Directly above, King Xuan still set up two diagonal tables.

On both sides below, there were several cases in front of the ministers, which were almost packed into the main hall.

This is a state banquet. Needless to say, the food is delicious, and the wine is also a unique collection of Xuanguo wine.

Xuanjiu is not as strong as Qinjiu, but it has a characteristic that it is intoxicating without even realizing it.

Xiao Yuan suffered a loss last time, so he was more careful this time.

As soon as the banquet started, as the two kings took their seats, all the ministers also saluted and then took their seats.

At this time, the wine and food were almost ready. To show the friendship of the landlord, King Xuan of course had to be the first to serve the cup.

"Here, take this glass of wine to congratulate Qin and Xuan on the alliance and friendship between the two countries."

All the ministers held cups together: "Congratulations on the friendly alliance between the two countries, and jointly respect the king and His Highness the King of Qin——"

When drinking at banquets, the ancients paid attention to etiquette and would cover their mouths with their sleeves.

After finishing the first glass of wine, King Xuan immediately winked at a minister.

The latter understood the situation, stood up quickly, and began to persuade Xiao Yuan to drink with his eloquent words.

There is no need to say more about the outcome of this banquet.

The atmosphere became lively. After three or five cups, Xiao Yuan panicked a little. He leaned forward and whispered to King Xuan: "If Sister Wang does this again, please don't go to Qin. Otherwise, you will retaliate with tooth for tooth."

King Xuan narrowed his beautiful eyes, the crescent moon was crescent, and when she smiled, she was still as beautiful as ever.

The next day, Xuandu Posthouse.

Xiao Yuan finished washing and just wiped the water stains on his hands when there was a knock on the door outside.

When he opened the door and took a look, he was obviously stunned: "Wang Mei?"

King Xuan smiled and said: "It's a beautiful spring day. Brother Wang, do you want to go out and play together?"

She came alone, and she was not dressed like a normal young lady, but had a graceful temperament, which made her even more attractive.
