Chapter 463: Wugu's position (2)
The door of the hall was opened soon, revealing the few people sitting in the hall. Their faces were obviously unpleasant. It was obvious that Wuguboqi's sudden disturbance made them feel deeply unhappy, especially the Liao and Song envoys sitting on the left and right sides of the lower head, with even more annoyed eyes.
I think it's no wonder they have such a behavior. They closed the door and exposed each other's old secrets, even if they were said badly, it doesn't matter. But now that they are heard by others, their face is a little unbearable. After all, they each represent the Song and Liao countries.
Uguruga glared at his son with some dissatisfaction: "Bochi, why are you so rude? Don't you know your father is talking to two distinguished guests, and you actually broke in?"
"My son knows his mistake, but his son is reckless. But because this matter is also related to them, I..." Wuguboqi lowered his head and admitted that he was wrong, and then looked at the King of Yue beside him, obviously wanting to explain it.
At this time, the King of Yue also hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Prince Envoy, don't blame Brother Boqi. It's really because I want to ask him to recommend it, so I came here rashly. If you want to blame me, blame me."
"How dare you? The prince comes to see me at this time and naturally has important matters to discuss." Uguruga's face finally eased a little, and he made a gesture of invitation: "Since what you want to say is related to this, please come in and speak."
So, with this ease, Sun Tu and the other two were able to enter the hall and sit behind the two envoys, which made the two look a little ugly, because it was too inconsistent with etiquette and rules. In fact, not only them, but also Sun Tu felt that such hasty behavior was a bit unreasonable, and the reason for inviting them in was even more far-fetched.
"Did Uguruga want to see this, so he insisted on letting us in and speak in the face of dissatisfaction? Also, he looked at it without any surprise. He must have known this a long time ago. Could it be that someone gave him relevant information first..." Sun Tu quickly turned his mind after sitting down, and then his eyes fell on King Yue again. The only one who could do this was King Yue.
When it comes to Ugubochi, he mentioned that his father was avoiding the envoys of both countries some time ago, but today he was suddenly willing to meet the envoys before they arrived, which is even more interesting! But Sun Tu still can't see through what purpose the other party is doing.
Seeing them sitting down, the hall became deserted, and there was no such thing as before. In fact, after this interruption and calm down, the two messengers also realized that their previous words were inappropriate, and they did not dare to speak casually at this time.
Since the guests didn't speak, the owner of Uguruga could only break the cold: "Why are you talking about the important things related to the envoys of the two countries?"
"That's right, it's up to Xifeng Chang." King Yue looked at Xifeng Chang beside him. The latter was a little restrained at this time, but he still pondered for a while and said, "Prince Secretary, my Xifeng family has always advocated living in peace with the Liao and Song dynasties, and this is the same. But the emperor has been using a rash move these days, so I hope that the Privy Secretary can persuade the emperor and make less war..."
This person spoke very directly enough. He was so impressed by the envoys of both countries that he had the whole meaning. He heard that the people present were stunned. Uguruga frowned even more: "Since the emperor has a holy dictator, how can we ministers question the intervention?"
"The Privy Councilor's words are wrong. The so-called loyalty of our ministers is not just about obeying the will. It should also be blocked by the emperor's wrong decision, so that our Xia Kingdom will flourish and prosper." Seeing that Xi Feng Chang was a little unaware of what to say, Sun Tu hurriedly explained: "If a dispute arises in the Song and Liao dynasties, it is not a blessing for all the people of the world. It would be even more inappropriate if our Xia Kingdom rashly participates. In this way, although the Privy Councilor can obtain a lot of credit, who should be responsible for the casualties of the soldiers on the front line? What's more, as the two envoys said just now, they are both worried in their respective countries. If the war really starts, the consequences will be hard to say. What do you think?"
"Hmph, what do you know about a boy who is still not dry? He dared to talk about the pros and cons of the country in front of us!" The Song envoy was already angry, and at this time he couldn't help but reprimand him. Instead, the Liao envoy showed a deep thought expression at this time, and his eyes were only moving back and forth between King Yue and Uguruga, obviously suspected that the words of Xifeng Chang and Sun Tu were completely instructed.
Everything in front of me really looked so suspicious. Even though Xia State is not as polite as the Han people, it would not have done such a thing. He even broke in while the guest was discussing with the host and said such words.
Seeing that he could not continue to say this today, the Liao envoy simply stood up and said, "Since there are other guests to entertain you today, the envoy will not disturb you anymore and say goodbye!" As he said that, he walked out without looking back.
The Song Envoy, who was standing by, frowned when he saw this, and after weighing the pros and cons, he said goodbye and left. Obviously, today's incident was too unexpected to them, so they couldn't think of a better solution for the time being, so they could only go back and discuss with the people below before talking.
After getting up and sending the two envoys out of the second door to turn around, Uguruga looked at King Yue and Xi Feng Chang with a wry smile: "You are really here today, it's not the time for me to make a deal."
"Huh?" Xifeng Chang asked in confusion: "Where is the Privy Councilor saying this?"
"Do you know why I have been avoiding them before, but have changed my mind today? To be honest, this is what the emperor means." Uguruga said with a wry smile, but everyone's faces changed again. King Yue even hurriedly said: "Father, is this to let Privy Council ask you to negotiate terms with them?"
"That's why the envoys of the two countries were called to discuss together. But as soon as they met, they criticized each other and hadn't talked about what benefits both countries could give me, you suddenly came in..." Uguruga sighed and said, "In this way, I can't go to work with the emperor today."
"Prince Envoy, I think what Sun Qianli said just now is very reasonable. My father's decision on this matter is indeed a bit inappropriate. For our country of Xia, we should only be neutral and self-reliant and not easily participate in the war. Moreover, if we really use this as a threat to get benefits from the Liao and Song dynasties, it would be fine if they really started a war, but what if they did not fight in the end? In this way, wouldn't we not only fail to get the benefits, but also offend a powerful enemy in vain?
"Although I know that my father had already made arrangements in Liao and Song years ago and wanted to provoke war between the two sides, it was not easy. If they really asked them to find out the truth, then the two countries would join forces and would be a disaster for our Xia Kingdom. I hope the Privy Councilor will consider the importance of this. If you feel something is reasonable, please report to the father!" Speaking of this, the King of Yue solemnly stood up and saluted Uguruga.
Seeing this, Uguruga hurriedly stood up to avoid it, saying that he didn't dare. Then he sighed: "Actually, why don't you know the danger, but this is what the emperor wants after all..."
"In fact, there are many people in the court who oppose the incorporation into the Song and Liao dispute. If the Privy Councilor can take this lead, I think there will definitely be many responders in the court. At least I, Xiaofeng, will definitely participate!" Xiaofeng also spoke in this busy manner.
"Yes, I actually heard from the Minister of the Central Secretariat that he was not optimistic about the emperor's plan, so if the Privy Councilor really advised him, even the Secretary of the Central Secretariat would agree. By then, seven or eighteen-year officials in the court would follow, and even if the emperor had decided to take it back, he would take it back." Sun Tu also said.
"Father, my son also thinks it is more beneficial for me, Xia Guo, to not participate in this matter!" Wuguboqi, who had not spoken much, agreed at this time, and then looked at his father with anticipation, waiting for him to nod to agree.
Uguruga's face changed a few times, and finally sighed: "Since you all said that, I will take responsibility and I will try to persuade the emperor... But there has been a court meeting today, and five days will be the emperor's holy birthday. I am afraid I will not be able to preach during this period."
"Then it's not too late to wait for the Holy Birthday before making any comments. Anyway, the envoys of the two countries have to wait until the birthday before leaving. We still have opportunities and time." King Yue said disrespectfully.
Uguruga nodded in agreement. In this way, something that seemed very difficult to do was actually done by their words. I was naturally very happy when I sealed it, but Sun Tu always felt that things were too light, as if everything had been deliberately arranged by someone.
Thinking of his previous guesses, Sun Tuyue realized that the relationship between Uguruga and King Yue was not simple. This time, once they really helped the Xifeng clan stop Li Qianshun from interfering in the battle between Song and Liao, then the Xifeng clan might be tied with them in the future.
No, it is not in the future, but now they have become the same person on the same boat!
Once the matter comes true, whether it is Li Qianshun or other ministers in the court, when looking at these three parties, they will treat them as one - a prince who is well-known for his reputation, a Privy Councilor who holds the military power of the whole country and is like the second in command of the court officials, and a tribal force on the frontier and holding heavy troops. When the power of these three parties suddenly merges together, this force will be retreating three points, right?
Sun Tu's eyes swept over the people present, and he sighed in his heart, probably all this had been arranged by the main figures of several forces. The only thing that he still didn't know about is Xi Feng Chang.
And this Uguruga, who was regarded as a pure minister by the emperor, was the one who could seek the most benefits this time, because in this way, he would inevitably rise rapidly and become a force that could compete with Moshok!
