Chapter 393 The iron hoofs of my Dajing will cross the Wei Lake and destroy them!
Yuan Xiu took the letter and asked doubtfully: "How come the eldest princess's letter is in your hands?"
Mu Shanyue said: "When I left the palace, I happened to meet the person who delivered the message. She claimed that she came from eight hundred miles away from the Prime Minister's Palace in a hurry, and said it was a private letter written by the eldest princess to His Majesty. I didn't trust others to deliver it, so I took it myself.
Already."
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Mu."
Yuan Xiu nodded, unfolded the letter, and read it quickly.
Everyone secretly looked at Yuan Xiu's face and saw that he was always frowning, so they knew that this letter must be related to the Battle of Muqiaokou.
Yuan Xiu put down the letter and said feebly: "My brother-in-law is just looking for trouble for me!"
"My imperial sister said that her child cannot be born without a father."
"Tell me, this Zhao Cheng must be saved?"
Everyone understood and had roughly guessed what was in their minds.
Wen Tai said: "From a personal perspective, Your Majesty should save him. But from a national perspective, it is inappropriate to save Zhao Cheng at this time."
Wen Tai's words reached Yuan Xiu's heart, and Yuan Xiu hurriedly said: "Prime Minister Zuo, what's wrong with you continuing?"
"First, it is inappropriate for profit. As His Majesty said, our army and the Southern Zhou Army suffered heavy casualties in the Battle of Muqiaokou. Yang Zhanbei will never let Zhao Cheng go easily, and will definitely take the opportunity to blackmail us. Yang Zhanbei
We know Bei's appetite, he must want bridges and land. Our losses are already big enough and we cannot afford to lose more."
"Secondly, it is inappropriate for the sake of face. Dajing and Nanzhou had only formed an alliance for less than a year. During the state banquet, Nanzhou and his prince came in person and regarded Dajing as a great state. I, Dajing, also slapped him in the face.
Give them the eldest princess. Now, because you want to save the eldest princess’s consort, you are begging them. Where is our Dajing’s face?”
"Third, it's not appropriate for human relations. Everyone here should know what happened to the Champion King back then. In order to protect the two bridges, the Champion King sacrificed his son, daughter-in-law, and his most beloved grandson, but he never complained to the court.
One sentence. If the imperial court agrees to the conditions of the Southern Zhou Dynasty for the sake of the consort, what will the Champion King think? Your Majesty, this will chill the Champion King's heart!"
"Yes! That's so right!" Yuan Xiu clapped his hands, pointed at Wen Tai and said: "Profit! Face! Favor! The left minister is clear and well-reasoned. Zhao Cheng cannot be saved!"
"But..." Yuan Xiu raised the letter in his hand, frowned and said, "It's not easy for me to deal with Sister Huang!"
Chen Changyun rolled his eyes, came over and said, "Your Majesty, I have an idea."
"you say."
"The eldest princess said in her letter that her child cannot be born without a father."
Chen Changyun smiled evilly, looked at Wen Tai and said: "Then let's quickly find a father for the child, right? I think Uncle Shaxian is very suitable! Uncle Shaxian has never married, and he is old, so he is a perfect match for the eldest princess!"
Wen Tai coughed a few times and lowered his head, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
Yuan Xiu thought about it seriously and murmured: "Although this idea is a bit cheap, it is still a good way. However, I have to discuss it carefully with the emperor's sister, and let the emperor's sister take over Zhao Cheng's business in a legitimate way first. We cannot let it be done.
These businesses are in the hands of the Right Prime Minister..."
"This is nonsense!" Mu Shanyue couldn't stand listening anymore and said while blowing his gray beard: "The eldest princess's marriage is a national matter, how can you arrange it like this!"
Yuan Xiu said displeasedly: "Mr. Mu, I don't think it's inappropriate at all. What do you have in mind?"
Mu Shanyue said seriously: "What the eldest princess expressed is not at all that the child has no father. What His Highness wants is Zhao Cheng. What he wants is that Your Majesty can protect Zhao Cheng!"
Yuan Xiu suppressed his anger and said: "Can I not know? But you also heard what the left prime minister said. If nothing else, how can you explain it to the champion?"
"Yes." Yuan Xiu suddenly thought of something and asked, "Why didn't the emperor come to report such a big thing? At least let me know his thoughts!"
"Then wait for the news from the Champion!" Mu Shanyue insisted: "Your Majesty can send people to find the Champion quickly and listen to his opinion."
Wei You also said: "Your Majesty, I also believe that the opinion of the Champion King should be respected on this matter. He is the person who knows the entire incident best."
Yuan Xiu thought for a moment, nodded, and said: "Prime Minister Zuo, does Wen Hu have a subordinate who is good at qinggong? Just send her for a run."
Wen Tai was shocked, thinking that His Majesty was paying more and more attention to his Zuo Xiangfu.
This is not a good sign.
"I understand."
At this time, the eunuch who came up before came running again.
"Your Majesty, the champion has a secret secret!"
Yuan Xiu was overjoyed and said: "I'm just telling you, how could the emperor remain silent about such a big matter!"
Yuan Xiu opened the secret folder, thinking that there would be a lot of content inside, but he didn't expect that there were only four words.
"Zhao Er must be saved."
After reading it, Yuan Xiu closed the secret fold.
Everyone was a little surprised to see Yuan Xiu looking so quickly.
Wen Tai asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, what did the champion say?"
Yuan Xiu handed the secret fold to Wen Tai and said, "You all should take a look."
Wen Tai carefully opened the secret fold, and Mu Shanyue, Chen Changyun and others all joined in.
"Zhao Er must be saved?" Wen Tai's face darkened.
Mu Shanyue said quickly: "Your Majesty, the champion has asked you to save Zhao Cheng!"
Chen Changyun also stopped talking.
Tie Ge thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, the Champion King has always been a person who takes the overall situation into consideration. The fact that he can express his attitude like this shows that saving Zhao Cheng is beneficial to the overall situation."
He Yin echoed: "Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible!"
Yuan Xiu raised his hand to silence everyone's voices, and then walked alone to the fence of the Star Observation Tower with his back to everyone.
He was silent, sometimes looking at the dark clouds in the sky, sometimes looking at the scenery downstairs.
Everyone knew that the emperor was thinking, and even his breathing became lighter.
boom!
There was a muffled sound, and suddenly heavy rain poured down.
Yuan Xiu smiled instead and said: "This heavy rain has finally fallen. The rain has fallen and the clouds have dispersed, which means the sky will not fall!"
With that said, Yuan Xiu turned around and faced everyone, his expression becoming serious.
"Profit, face, favor, as long as you save Zhao Cheng, there will be these three things wrong."
"What the Prime Minister said is right, but we got it wrong!"
"Now that the favor is settled, let's get rid of the interests and face."
"Why did we, Dajing, ask Southern Zhou to release people? Why did we have to meet their conditions? Why?"
"The battle at Muqiaokou was originally initiated by Yang Qingzhi. If the alliance is finally broken, it will be Nanzhou Fang who broke the rules!"
"Zhao Cheng wants to rescue, but he is not asking them to release him, but forcing them to release him!"
"We in Dajing drove off the pirates, controlled the Western Regions, and destroyed Ye Dan. Are we still afraid that he will not succeed in the Southern Zhou Dynasty?"
"If the Southern Zhou releases Zhao Cheng, the Battle of Muqiaokou will be regarded as an exercise between the two countries. If not, then the Battle of Muqiaokou will be the Southern Zhou Dynasty declaring war on me, Dajing!"
"Then my iron hoof, Dajing, will cross Weihu Lake and destroy them!!"
Boom boom!!
A burst of muffled thunder sounded, and Mushan, Yue Wentai and others all knelt down and shouted long live the mountain.
