Chapter 272
King Shiyu fell into deep thought, and then spoke slowly after a while.

"Aiqing is right, Yafu, in my opinion, it's better to let Shouyangzi go, and let the young people see the world."

King Shiyu seemed to be discussing with Xu Xiang, but what he said could not be questioned.

"You guys, alas, Lizi is not enough to plan!"

The old Xiangbang was short of breath for a while.

He never expected that at this time, the pair of monarchs and ministers in front of him were still planning to make a fool of themselves.

"Master Xiangguo, what are you talking about? The official respects the old. Xiangguo is an elder, so he backed down by three points just now. The old Xiangguo is relying on the old to sell the old, but he puts the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, the princes, and His Majesty in his eyes?"

"Chetuo talent has fought a battle with Dashi, not to mention the casualties of the soldiers, the food and clothing of hundreds of thousands of troops alone is enough for him to have a headache. General Zheng only needs to fortify the walls and clear the fields, and it won't be long. The Chetuo people will retreat of their own accord."

"Old Xiangguo is too proud of others, destroy your own prestige!"

How could Xi Linan let him shake King Shiyu's hard-won determination, and he stood up and refuted without waiting for Lao Xiangbang to speak.

Shi Yu Wang also nodded when he heard the words, he also thought the same way.

It was Shanggu City, which had been fighting against the big cannibals for many years. No one knew better than him how difficult this bone was. It was undoubtedly wishful thinking for the Chetuo people to take this strong city with the momentum of victory.

"Your Majesty, King Chetuo is also a battle-tested wise commander. How could he not know the principle that food and grass go first before soldiers and horses move? He dared to take this risky move. Obviously, he was fully prepared. Your Majesty, please think twice."

The old prime minister didn't get too entangled with Xi Linan, he knew that the key to this time was to convince King Shiyu.

King Shiyu frowned, his words seemed to make sense.

But before he could change his mind, Xi Linan's staunch ally Guo An stepped forward again.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say and I don't know if I can say it or not."

"I love you, but it's okay to say."

Shi Yu Wang waved his hand impatiently, signaling him to fart as soon as possible.

"According to my minister, although King Che Tuo is a famous general on the battlefield, it is easy to attack the city to defend the city, and there is a danger of going to the valley pass. It only needs to draw [-] soldiers from the surrounding towns to resist the enemy."

"Defending the city is nothing more than forming a stronghold and fighting a dull battle. It is [-] pigs lined up for the Chetuo people to kill. He can't kill them in three to five days. I don't believe it. Tens of thousands of my soldiers were killed in battle."

"Old Xiangguo always thinks that Shouyangzi is useless, but which fierce general is not sent to the army, and has achieved today's achievements after hundreds of battles. This time, Shouyangzi will be trained in the army, and there will be no harm!"

"As for leading troops to disrupt the enemy's hinterland, it can't be solved without a wise general. In my opinion, General Xu will do his part."

Guo An's words were like a reassurance for King Shiyu, and King Shiyu finally had a decision at this moment.

"That's what Ai Qing said."

"Come here, draw up an imperial edict for me!"

The major event in the court finally came to an end, and King Shiyu's thoughts drifted back to the beauties in the Taoist garden.

"Your Majesty, Wan—"

Old Xiangguo still wanted to speak out to dissuade him, but he saw King Shiyu flicking his sleeves impatiently.

"Father Ya, don't worry, I will send a veteran of the battlefield to be the deputy commander, to take the place of Shouyangzi in the army. Young people, it would be good to give them more opportunities to practice and practice."

"What an accident, it won't be too late for the old general to turn the tide."

After saying that and waving his hands, the old Xiangguo could only go back to the row aggrieved, and shouted long live together with other courtiers.

"Retreat."

In the midst of civil and military affairs in the Manchu Dynasty, King Shiyu quickly put this troublesome matter behind him.

War?
How can it be fun to be beautiful!

King Shiyu left in a hurry, and the courtiers under the ranks were naturally well-educated, only Xi Linan and Guo An gathered together, plotting something quietly.

Xu Xiangguo glanced at them coldly, then snorted coldly, shook his sleeves and left angrily.

What happened in the court hall today made him completely disappointed in his student who is the lord of a country. If it weren't for the great things entrusted by the late king before his death, he would have wanted to hang his seal and leave a long time ago. Wouldn't it be happy to be a wild man? Zai.

On the other side, seeing all the officials scattered around, Guo An came to Xi Linan's side, and motioned to the old minister with some disgust.

"Brother Xi, that old man taunted you so much, he didn't want to give him to..."

Guo An made a movement of raising the knife with his hand.

"I'm not in a hurry, brother. What are you in a hurry for? Why, how much money did the Chetuo people give you?"

Xi Linan, however, looked at him with a half-smile, ignoring the other party's plan to kill with a knife.

"Brother, I'm just joking. I'm just a censor. I can't compare with your deputy. If the Chetuo people want to bribe, they should bribe you, old man."

Guo An is not a fool, he knows that this kind of thing should not be discussed.

"The Chetuo people gave me this number."

Xi Linan ignored it, but quietly rolled up his sleeves and made a five.

"50 million—"

Guo An was quite surprised when he saw this, and he couldn't hold back his exclamation. Seeing Xi Linan's complexion, he opened his mouth and said embarrassingly.

"I only took 10 taels. The other party said that King Chetuo's move was just to deter the king and not allow him to intervene in the war with the Dashi Kingdom. After the matter is completed, there will be a big thank you."

"It's 15 taels. It seems that my brother's status in Chetuo people's eyes is not low."

Xi Linan smiled, obviously a little concerned about the price offered by the Chetuo people.

Every censor in the capital has 10 taels, and I can't get more as a vice minister, and the Chetuo people are too rude.

"Chetuo people are afraid, I am afraid that they are worried that my brother is selfless and will not be tempted by their money, so they will give more money to my little brother, so that I can persuade you more. If you want to, you might as well go down to my little brother's house for a drink or two. "

"My little brother just got a new antique. It is said that it is the calligraphy of Qian Weiyong, a talented scholar in the former dynasty. My little brother is blind and wants to ask my brother to make more comments..."

Guo An tried his best to show his favor to Xi Linan.

"Okay, I don't mean to blame you. In the future, the Chetuo people remember to communicate with brother Wei before making a promise. You and my brother also want more money. Brother Wei has no other meaning."

Seeing Guo An's panicked expression, Xi Linan knew that the beating was almost over, so he revealed his real intention. Guo An immediately agreed with him.

"The elder brother's words are reasonable, and the younger brother will only follow the lead of the elder brother in the future."

The two looked at each other, and they were really the same.

In less than half an hour, the news that King Shiyu wanted to appoint Shouyangzi as his commander spread throughout Wangcheng. In the Chetuo embassy, ​​a few ordinary pigeons were released from the open space in the embassy.

The controversy that erupted in the Shiyu court was recorded verbatim in coded language in a fine silk that was no bigger than a palm, and it was about to be sent back to China.

And Yang Benzhong, the first Yang son who is about to become handsome, still doesn't know what kind of purgatory situation he will face.
