Chapter 23 Fan Li enters the court!

Borrow troops instead of sending them out!

Just one word difference, the meaning is completely different!

The courtiers raised their heads one after another and looked at the emperor on the dragon throne in shock.

Although they were almost stunned by the previous twists and turns, they were still stunned this time.

You have been in court for many years, but you still can’t figure out the pros and cons of borrowing troops?

It does not consume the treasury, but can also punish the state of Wu and maintain the authority of the court.

If the troops and horses were handed over to the King of Yue, even if they had any military exploits, it was because the King of Yue was able to control the troops well and restricted the generals.

This can be said to kill two birds with one stone!

The minds of the ministers went blank, with only questions in their hearts.

Is this really your Majesty's idea?

Your Majesty has such power and scheming??

The tricks used by the ministers to spin around and the incomparable tactics of borrowing troops...

Looking at Li Qian's smile, the ministers felt that it was extremely unfathomable!

Wei Zheng also stared blankly at Li Qian on the dragon throne. How could His Majesty come up with such a good plan?

Yesterday, so many ministers in the DPRK and China were at a loss what to do and got into a quarrel.

But after just one night, His Majesty actually came up with such a practical strategy?

Is it possible that the former His Majesty was really hiding his clumsiness?

But besides Wei Zheng and the others, there are also well-informed people in the court!

After Qin Hui, Zhao Kuangyin and others were surprised, a name appeared in their minds:

Fan Li!

After Fan Li was summoned by the emperor, the news was sent to them.

Now that I have heard of this method of borrowing troops, how can I not make associations with it?

Whoever benefits the most will be the most suspect!

Now the one who benefits the most is Yue State!

If the imperial court does not send troops, the more it will be destroyed by Wu!

If the imperial court sends troops to rescue, how can those wolf-like and tiger-like imperial sergeants let go of this fat piece of Yue?

Being robbed and then supporting a puppet king to ascend to power is the best ending!

Only by borrowing troops can the Yue State not only retreat the Wu soldiers, but also protect itself!

Today's rhetoric must have been taught to Your Majesty by that traitor Fan Li!

On the dragon throne, Li Qian looked down with interest:

"Now that I have finished speaking, who agrees? Who opposes?"

He originally thought that the ministers would spend time with him, but as soon as he finished speaking, He Shen stood up and said in a loud voice, as if he was afraid of being slowed down.

"Your Majesty is wise! The strategy of borrowing troops is indeed the best choice! I, He Shen, agree with this strategy!"

Li Qian had a smile on his face, but he was a little surprised in his heart.

He Shen expressed his stance so easily?

When I was being criticized by the ministers yesterday, I didn't see him being so active!

Li Qian looked at the ministers below and saw Yan Song and Qin Hui standing up one after another.

"Your Majesty is wise! I think the strategy of borrowing troops is feasible!"

Finally, Cai Jing glanced in the direction of the generals calmly, then stood up and replied:

"Your Majesty is wise, and I also think that the strategy of borrowing troops is feasible."

After them, the civil servants also stood up and reported: "Your Majesty is wise, this strategy of borrowing troops is feasible..."

They have nothing to complain about.

After all, borrowing troops can restore the power of the imperial court without spending any money, and can also curb the expansion of the military attachés' power.

The atmosphere among the generals in the audience was somewhat tense.

If you borrow troops to go out, the greatest credit will belong to the King of Yue, not to them. The money and land you can obtain will also be greatly reduced...

However, now that the civil servants are standing together with His Majesty, if they want to oppose it, they will only bring humiliation to themselves.

"His Majesty……"

It was Zhao Kuangyi who stood up. There was still a bit of hesitation on his face: "I also think that your Majesty's plan is indeed the best choice."

"It's just that the country of Yue is in war. Can you provide money and food to the army?"

"What if the King of Yue doesn't agree to lend troops to the imperial court? Wouldn't the imperial court lose face in vain?"

Hearing this, the civil servants frowned.

What Zhao Kuangyi said is not entirely unreasonable.

In case the King of Yue is a stubborn person, even if the country is destroyed, the unspoken rules among the princes must be maintained...

The court would be in disgrace.

First, the imperial edict to the Wu State was refuted, and then he went up to the pole to find the Yue State to lend troops to them, but was rejected again.

Such successive humiliations will definitely affect the court's image among the princes, leading to a worse situation.

"Huh! General Zhao, don't talk nonsense!"

Wang Mang stepped forward, pointed at Zhao Kuangyi's nose, and angrily said:

"If the King of Yue really refuses to borrow troops from the imperial court! An Hui will send an envoy to the imperial court to ask for help??"

The civil servants immediately realized the problem.

yes!

If the King of Yue was really so upright, why would he come to the court to ask for help?

That made Fan Li spend all day long begging to see the ministers of the DPRK, asking them to support sending troops. Who in the capital didn't know about this?

Riding on a horse!

The civil servants gritted their teeth and stared at Zhao Kuangyi, almost being fooled by this weakling!

However, before they could start complaining, Zhao Kuangyi was no longer willing!

He stared at Wang Mang and said loudly and plausibly: "I originally asked for soldiers from the imperial court. The country will not cost one meter per cent!"

"Now that they are asked to provide money and food, how does Wang Zongbo know that the King of Yue will definitely agree?"

Hearing this, the civil servants suppressed the elegant words they were about to curse.

It seems possible...

The Yue Kingdom wanted to come with nothing, but now they are asked to pay, will he still be willing?

What if the king of Yue takes advantage of the situation and his integrity changes? Even if the country is destroyed, it is possible to make a comeback, but it will break the unspoken rules among the princes...

"okay!"

The emperor's voice suddenly came from above, awakening the officials who were thinking.

Li Qian looked around and said slowly: "Why bother with this useless argument?"

"The more you send Fan Li, he will be in the capital. Just call him and ask."

"Big companion, please send someone to find Fan Li, the envoy of Yue, and bring it to the palace!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Wei Zhongxian bowed, then turned around and shouted to the guards outside the palace: "Xuanyue sent Fan Li to the palace!"

That's right, just call Fan Li and ask!

Although the civil servants showed no expression on their faces, they were still very happy in their hearts.

After all, the chance of Yue's opposition is slim, and they are about to die, so who cares about money?

The faces of the generals turned dark.

In front of them, the expressions of Zhao Kuangyin and the other three people were even more condensed!

OK!

It really has something to do with the thief Fan Li!!

If you wait for me, I will definitely reap the rewards!

Outside the temple, the sun has risen high, dispelling the morning fog, and began to cast thousands of rays of light onto the ground.

The atmosphere in Qianyang Palace also began to become stuffy.

After Li Qian's order was issued, the officials waited boredly below.

The capital is so big, whether or not Fan Li can be found is a problem.

When I bring him here again, it might already be noon.

You might be hungry again today!

The Five Zang Temple will suffer another disaster...

The ministers sat on cushions, and some secretly rubbed their stomachs.

Since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has gone to court twice and gone hungry twice.

If they are hungry a few more times, they will probably develop "dynasty aversion".

Just when he was bored, there was suddenly a burst of hurried footsteps outside the hall.

The ministers turned their heads and looked outside.

In the daylight, a man with a somewhat dazzling figure wearing a black curly robe walked into the hall under the guidance of the court attendants.

"Your Majesty Fan Li, please see my emperor."

Fan Li knelt down to greet him.
