Chapter 143 Angry Laughing
Unlike the morning when he came empty-handed and was shameless and asked him to treat him to dinner, Xi Bo came with a gift this time.
A full car, just looking at the packaging, it must be valuable.
He said that he had returned to Yangcheng before and caused trouble for him along the way. Bai Jingyuan complained that the ride-hailing fare was a bit late, and he smiled and welcomed him into the inn.
After the two of them, they sat down with their host and guests. A sweet-faced maid took Xi Bo's favorite tea and snacks, and a musician played silk strings among the bamboos in the backyard.
The elegant music faintly enters the room with the wind, the auspicious beast incense burner hides behind the curtains in the corner, and the mosquito-repellent cigarettes curl up. In terms of artistic conception, Bai Jingyuan always grasps it tightly.
Xi Bo looked very embarrassed, and stared at the white jade bowl with orange-red fragrant drinks in his hand. After talking about poetry and philosophy, and after talking about philosophy, the sun sets westward, but he doesn't mention serious matters.
Bai Jingyuan thought he apologized for Emperor Ji for the previous incident. He thought that Xibo was old and respected, and when he encountered such a thing, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and could only sigh that no one in this world was easy, and he planned to pretend that the previous incident had not happened for Xibo's sake.
Anyway, the issue of his reward is not the limit, and what he says himself does not count. Why bother to make things difficult for others?
I don’t know what Emperor Ji thought before, could he really think that he could make the decision?
With the queen's urinary nature, even if he was a stupid fool, he took Wang Ling home stupidly, could she bring people back and make trouble, and Emperor Ji could withstand it?
But when I heard that Gong Shuyu Chen's army was on the border, I was so scared that I immediately shook the white flag. What did I do before? Even if Emperor Ji was blinded by anger, would those ministers die?
Bai Jingyuan thought about this problem for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.
If Emperor Ji knew that he couldn't figure it out, he would definitely wipe his tears and feel sad for the moon.
He lived a life of no more sober.
For the old ministers around them, personal and family reputation is more important than Daji's face; for young ministers, the status and power that His Majesty can give is more important than His Majesty's feelings; as for those children who fight to the death all day long, who can get to power is what they care most about!
He couldn't understand it better!
Even the eunuchs around him whose lives were placed in his words were not devoted to him!
He has followed the rules for his whole life. When he is willful once, he will be beaten immediately by society. Even if he is unhappy and wants to bully a child and vent his anger, he will be the one who will be hurt in the end.
Why are all this?
It’s all because of the ancestors who left him a mess!
Seeing that he had been chatting with him with a smile, neither asking about the killing of King Yan of King Lu nor caring about his reward, even normal people would be curious about His Majesty's current situation, and he didn't ask more. As supper time was about to come, Young Master Bai had already ordered the meal to be passed on. Then he sighed and said depressedly:
"Young Master, I think you can guess my purpose, so I won't hide it."
Bai Jingyuan raised his eyebrows, afraid that he would see the accident in his heart, so he immediately lowered his head and drank water.
It turns out that it was not for the king's order?
That's what it is for Gong Shuyu?
Before Xibo came, he received a secret letter from Gong Shuyu, who said that he did this only because the north was not peaceful and worried about his safety, so he responded in Yingcheng.
Gong Shuyu was also very frank, saying that the reason why he didn't come to Yangcheng to pick him up was just in case. If Emperor Ji dared to do something wrong, if he had an accident, he would lead his troops north to destroy Daji, start a chaotic battle mode of the princes, and become the King of Chu himself.
Bai Jingyuan felt that he was very thoughtful, so he recognized the plan in his reply and asked him to do what he said and not to break the Mi family inheritance.
Shuyu's letter was sent by a secret spy bypassed Ren Yi. Bai Jingyuan replied on the spot and asked the spy to take it back. Ren Yi received the news later, scolded him with a cold face, and scolded Gong Shuyu from the air, and hurriedly took people out. I don't know if it was a transfer of troops or a message to the queen, but Bai Jingyuan didn't care.
For him, he could not stop what Gong Shuyu should do. It would be better to say it nicely. Maybe he was intimidated by Shuyu. No one dared to touch him. Gong Shuyu would also consider the world's long and unlucky mouth and dare not take the blame for the world.
The Jin and Zhao countries in the north have strong national strength and have formed teams to cause trouble for Yan State all year round. Although Yan State has strong combat power, it has made enemies on all sides. It is a mad dog that can bite people whenever they catch people. One of the Lu and Zheng State next to Chu State is a marriage partner, and they will not turn against each other within one or two generations. The other is too weak to dare to cause trouble. Jingshan and Daji in the middle can be almost negligible.
On the contrary, the State of Chu has been developing in the south for thousands of years, and is least afraid of starting the battle mode of princes. It is probably the State of Chu.
If this era hadn't been focused on father-son inheritance and people care about reputation over life, he would have died hundreds of times long ago.
He believed that Uncle Yu would not do that unless he had no choice, Ren Yi reacted so much, and was simply a nervous allergy and thought too much.
Seeing that he was just lying down and drinking water without responding, Xi Bo coughed awkwardly, and then whispered: "Yan Bo's move is no different from plotting against him. If he does not attack, he may all the countries in the world will become a joke!"
The State of Lu is now in chaos of the new king ascending the throne. Zheng is far southwest, and the far water cannot quench the near thirst. Only the State of Chu happens to have soldiers on its side, and the only heir happens to be in Yangcheng. Isn’t it God’s will?
The envoys sent to the Jin and Zhao countries have already set out. When they are united with Chu Lu, the King of Yan will be skinned even if he does not die this time!
Although the Daqiu has declined, it is orthodox. It is legitimate to want to do such things.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Ji, who was already so weak, still had the courage to give the King of Yan a cruel thing.
The domineering spirit in the bones of the king of Shangguo has never been lost.
Xi Bo said a lot, afraid that he would not understand it, so he spoke very briefly. Bai Jingyuan just pretended not to understand it and asked him naively: "That is, what does it mean to let my uncle lead the troops north?"
Go north?
Xi Bo's eyelids twitched. Could it be that he still wanted to lead his troops into the Great Era?
Don’t let the matter not be resolved at that time, but instead, the Yan army hides in the grassland and cannot find it, and take advantage of Wang Ling to be here!
Xi Bo couldn't help but get angry. It would be fine if he quietly led his troops in, but how could he be open and honest?
"This is avenging the country of Lu. If you want to borrow Lu, Lu will not be dissatisfied at all."
That is to say, if you want to go north, go to Lu, don’t think about passing by Daji!
Daji and Jingshan are located between the countries. If a fight starts, everyone wants to fight. The kings and ministers of the two countries have always been very alert in this regard. Even though their claws have been designed to be cleaned by the major princes over the long years, the tradition has never been forgotten.
“Oh~”
Bai Jingyuan immediately stopped talking.
Xi Bo came with the determination that he would succeed. Even though he knew that this kid was sloppy, how could he let him get sloppy?
"Now that the King of Chu has passed away, the young master must be in a hurry to succeed to the throne to stabilize the domestic situation. Your Majesty said that if the State of Chu agrees to send troops to attack Yan this time, I will give you what you want immediately!"
Xi Bo doesn’t want to practice Tai Chi anymore.
He now understood that although this kid seemed to be incompetent, he was the only child of the King of Chu. He was born to understand some things and was born to know them.
Oh, is this to threaten the title?
I had been together for so long before, but I didn’t expect that when political affairs were involved, my true colors would be revealed immediately.
He is an old politician in his seventies!
Bai Jingyuan sighed and said without hesitation: "Whether to send troops to attack Yan, I have to send a message back to discuss with my uncle and mother. You shouldn't expect me to make the decision, right?"
Xi Bo still has a lot to do. Anyway, when he spoke about this, his face would not be saved and he didn't want to waste time. He threw a sentence, "Since that's the case, then the young master should write a letter immediately! There have been many wars recently, and the young master does not have enough staff around him. I will send some people to guard the door for the young master!" and wanted to leave.
He actually planned to put him under house arrest and coerce the Chu State to send troops?
Bai Jingyuan immediately smiled angry: "Please send a message to Your Majesty and ask him if he has thought about it? If he has thought about it, Gu will wipe his neck!"
Once Prince Bai dies, Chu State will rebel.
Not to mention that even Yan State can bully Emperor Ji, and with Chu State, what would Emperor Ji's life be like, just say that when facing the danger of leaving the country, Chu State will do its best to protect itself. Now, the domestic chaos in Lu is in chaos, and if the north is in chaos, it will destroy the Daji and then destroy the Lu State. As long as it can withstand the demise of the world, the success rate is 80%.
Xi Bo is no longer respected, but he is not the lord after all.
He is just a minister.
Bai Jingyuan wanted to make him realize this - first find out your identity, and then talk to me!
Have you given you a face before?
I want to put a house arrest!
Mr. Bai, who looks very good-tempered, is not bad.
