Li Lin and others thought about something else. It was certain that Dongyue would go south. From a cultural perspective, in addition to Jingyang and Yanjin, the Qian Kingdom, Loulan, Dongyue, and the barbarians in the south all Considered barbarians.
This is especially true for the barbarians and the East Vietnamese. These people either rely on hunting or herding for a living.
Therefore, what they think about in their minds is not to reproduce but to occupy more territory and reproduce more offspring.
Going south is also inevitable.
But the question is, why didn’t the Minister of Rites mention it earlier, and why did he bring it up at this time?
The answer is self-evident, it is to pave the way for Lu Qingbai to ascend to the throne.
Soon, Wang Yuan also stood up and said, "Your Highness, Jin Yiwei has recently received news that Yan soldiers also intend to invade the country. I hope Your Highness will take precautions as soon as possible."
"snort……"
The prince remained silent.
The situation in the DPRK and China is like this. Although it is calm, there are turbulent undercurrents, and it can turn into turbulent waves in an instant.
Obviously today is still a peaceful and prosperous time, but once a big wave hits and the people in power capsize the boat, the result will be that the mountains and rivers will be shattered and the wind will blow.
If Yan and Dongyue invaded the country at the same time, and the situation in the court was so chaotic, how should we deal with it?
Even the prince did not dare to let Zhao Xiaole, who was a master of military skills, leave the capital. Once he left, the third prince and the queen would definitely light a fire in the backyard.
Then the whole country was in chaos.
For a time, the prince thought of many things.
The Minister of Punishment sneered and stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, there is no need to worry. King Zhenbei and King Pingxi are good at using soldiers. They can guard the border for Jingyang and everything will be safe. If Your Highness can send a letter and encourage you diligently, we will definitely do it." Protecting the country will be worry-free."
As soon as the Minister of the Ministry of Justice finished speaking, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites hurriedly said: "What the Minister of the Ministry of Justice said is reasonable. From my perspective, in addition to writing letters of encouragement, if His Highness can be promoted to the Prime Minister of the Left, King Pingxi will definitely die to serve the country."
Here we come, as soon as the Minister of Rites finished speaking, Zhao Xiaole and others sneered.
He has been talking for a long time, just for this purpose, using the border war to put pressure on the prince. To be more precise, this is considered a threat.
Why?
Zhenbei Wang's land is located in the north. If you want to go south from the East, you must pass through his land first.
Therefore, King Zhenbei and Jingyang have a close relationship.
He is finished, and Jingyang will definitely not recover. Without the King of Zhenbei, Jingyang will have to face the East Vietnamese cavalry.
As a tycoon of the generation, how could the King of Zhenbei not understand the truth?
It was impossible for him to let the Dongyue people in.
And if the Dongyue people don't defeat the King of Zhenbei, they won't dare to cross the territory of the King of Zhenbei and head south rashly. Once the battle goes wrong in the front, the King of Zhenbei will bake the dumplings of the Dongyue people behind, and the Dongyue people will Being attacked from both sides.
Defeat is a matter of time.
Therefore, Zhao Xiaole and others are not worried about this, but if King Pingxi is added to the mix, everything will be different.
The northern border is very deep and has a lot of space to fight with the East Vietnamese, but the western border is different.
The soldiers of the State of Yan could set out in the morning, go to Chuzhou, burn, kill, and plunder, and then withdraw to the State of Yan before dark.
What if King Pingxi can't resist it or lets it go?
The crisis of the East Vietnamese going south became the Sword of Damocles over the heads of the Jingyang people. Their cavalry would run thousands of miles and rush towards the capital.
At that time, the place where dumplings were made became Jingyang.
In the whole matter, King Pingxi's attitude was very crucial. If he helped block the Yan soldiers, there would be nothing to worry about when Dongnan fell.
But will he sacrifice his own soldiers to defend the country for Jingyang?
Judging from past history, King Pingxi is obviously not this kind of person.
King Pingxi is a guy who doesn't dare to do anything without profit. If there is no benefit, he will definitely not do it.
It is technically necessary to make Lu Qingbai the prime minister.
At the very least, this is a way to motivate and appease King Pingxi.
But the prince still hated this method of explicitly asking for a price and coercing the court.
Stop talking about her, anyone else would be angry.
Li Lin immediately snorted coldly, "To threaten the imperial court like this, what does King Pingxi mean?"
Lu Qingbai immediately knelt down and said, "Your Highness will atone for his sins. My father has never made such a request. I am willing to withdraw from the election to prove my innocence."
In his heart, Lu Qingbai had already scolded the Queen and the Third Prince bloody, and these people were about to screw him up.
He has now become the opponent's pawn, and he doesn't even have the right to breathe.
I remembered my master's indifference when I came down the mountain, and my original ambition.
Looking back now, I really wanted to slap myself to death.
Dominate the world?
What a joke, how can you dominate the world now that you can't even save your own life?
Before, he had no idea how deep the water was, so he dared to jump in. Now he has become a drowning man waiting to die.
However, he has no way to go on his own now. He has been labeled as the third prince and others.
No matter what he does, he will be seen as doing something for the third prince.
Just like the excuse he gave himself just now.
Lu Qingbai had nothing to say, but he had to say it. After saying it, he confirmed King Pingxi's intention of blackmailing the court.
Why?
It's very simple, things have reached this point, if the court does not encourage him, but instead punishes Lu Qingbai out of suspicion.
Then King Ping Xi still has to blow up his hair?
Originally, it was possible for him to guard the country, but now it is simply impossible.
Therefore, Lu Qingbai cannot be punished.
On the contrary, it made his position more stable, and also excused himself and Ping Xiwang.
Since the court could not punish him, it could only be forced to admit that King Pingxi had no intention of threatening the court.
It can be said that a dumb person eats Coptis chinensis and cannot tell the pain.
The officials of the Third Prince and Queen's line had sneers on their lips and secretly gave Lu Qingbai a thumbs up.
high!
This move is really too high.
Not only did he effectively respond to Li Lin's accusations, but he also cleared King Pingxi's reputation and forced the prince to admit the debt.
Li Lin also snorted angrily and stopped talking, but his expression was extremely ugly.
At this time, Marquis Heng stood up and spoke. He was a straight-minded person and never tolerated such twists and turns.
Marquis Heng said coldly: "The rules for the election of the prime minister have been set long ago. Now for a little war, the court has to grovel and try its best to please. Where is the majesty? If Jingyang is a gang of shameless people like you, I don't think so.
Without the Yan people to attack, this country will be finished sooner or later."
The words of Marquis Heng are not without boldness. If he keeps his mouth shut, the country will be destroyed. If the person sitting on top is not a kind-hearted monarch, he will be imprisoned immediately.
But now, although his words were straightforward, he happened to be helping the prince and antagonizing the empress and the third prince.
