Chapter 711 To fight, or not to fight?

In the main hall, all civil and military officials were divided into two factions.

One faction advocates fighting, while the other advocates peace.

"Your Majesty," Mo Zhanhua sat with Ma Jian on the seat, "It is the custom of all countries to have a three-year truce for the late emperor's funeral. Moreover, when the late emperor passed away, Southern Chu had announced to the world that No civil engineering, no diplomacy, and no war within three years. Now that troubles have just started in Jingnan, we have to fight there, regardless of the letter of credence that was announced to the world? Wouldn’t it be a blow to Nanchu’s own face?"

"According to what the regent said, even if someone attacked outside our city of Tanzhou, they couldn't resist?" Ma Jian retorted.

"Little Jingnan, even if they open the city gates to let them come, I'm afraid they won't have the guts to go to Tanzhou." Mo Zhanhua was extremely disdainful, "We will be polite before we fight, if Chu Xiu doesn't listen to the advice, it's not too late to fight. "

Ma Jian was naturally unwilling.

After the death of the first emperor, there was a three-year truce. Although the surrounding countries were eyeing each other, they followed the rules and never took the opportunity to attack the city.He couldn't wait for Jing Nan, who didn't follow the routine, to provoke a war. He wanted Mo Zhanhua to lead the troops to fight, so that he could take full control of the court situation.

Fortunately, he actually advocated not fighting!

If he doesn't fight, how can he take all the power back into his hands?

His gloomy eyes swept over everyone in the court, "My dear friends, do you also think it's appropriate not to fight?"

It's not difficult for people to hear his displeasure in the cold voice.

Minister of the Ministry of punishment stood up.

What happened last time, he was a little wronged, and he was afraid that Ma Jian would alienate him, so he was eager to show his loyalty.

"Qi Zou the emperor, I have something to say."

"allow."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." He bowed, with a dignified look, and said: "I think that although Jingnan is small, it has been disturbing our border all these years, making the people on our border miserable. If we can send troops to attack it in one fell swoop, Retiring, let it stop my Southern Chu continuous thoughts from now on, this is a blessing for the people in the northern border. Therefore, I feel that this battle should be fought."

"Aiqing's words are exactly what I want." Ma Jian nodded in satisfaction, and looked at Mo Zhanhua, "The regent pushes all the way, but is he unwilling to send troops?"

The corners of Mo Zhanhua's lips curled up, a smile that was not a smile.

How could he not understand Ma Jian's thoughts?
If he doesn't agree to fight, then he has ulterior motives.If he agrees to fight, he will personally lead the troops out of the city.As soon as he leaves, the power of the government will fall into the hands of Ma Jian alone.Not to mention how long it will be, but it will last for three to five months, and when he returns to the court, it is estimated that the power in the court will fall to one side again.

His hard work this year cannot be wasted!

Instead of answering Ma Jian's words directly, he turned his eyes to Xiang Feng, "Master Prime Minister, you have always been able to distinguish right from wrong, what do you think about this matter?"

Feng Jingyuan has always been conservative.

I saw him bowing to the two of them, and said preachingly: "The old minister thinks that what the regent said is right. The dignity of the country needs to be practiced. If you don't even abide by the national letters and the rules of the past, I'm afraid It will be ridiculed by other countries in the future."

After a pause, he continued: "In the small corner of Jingnan, there is a battalion of dogs and dogs. Although he provoked the incident, if we rush to send troops, the nations will think that we are bullying the weak. It is better to follow the Regent's construction. First, to show our benevolence and righteousness, and second, if Chu Xiu does not listen to the advice and insists on going his own way, if we send troops again, it can be regarded as a teacher who is famous and does not follow the truth."
