The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 220
[Chapter 220 Impressive]
When Yang Zheng heard this, he just snorted and turned his head, obviously not willing to have too many conversations with Fang Xiu.
Or, in other words, he is unwilling to put Fang Xiu in his eyes anymore.
Fang Xiu didn’t say much about his behavior. He still looked at him as before and continued: “Then, Lord Shangshu, can you answer another question for me?”
Yang Zheng still didn’t look at Fang Xiu and said calmly. He said: “Say.”
There was still only one word, as if talking to someone like Fang Xiu, saying one more word would be an insult to himself.
“Junior, this question is also very simple.”
A smile appeared on Fang Xiu’s face, he took a few steps in the direction of Yang Zheng, and asked: “Sir, can you tell this junior, since you have not had in-depth communication with the prairie people? How do you know that after the marriage, they will trade with our great Chu and maintain peace with me?
How do you know that the grassland tribes will not go to war with my great Chu and the people of the world can be at peace?”
Yang Zheng looked at Fang Xiu ?
He glanced at it and said, “You are not me. How do you know that I don’t understand prairie people?” When
Fang Xiu heard this, he looked very disdainful and said, “Why does Lord Shangshu say such angry words like a child? Since Lord Shangshu is like this “
The junior wants to answer, Lord Shangshu is not a junior, how do you know that the junior doesn’t know that Lord Shangshu doesn’t understand prairie people?”
Everyone smiled when they heard this.
When Yang Zheng heard this, his old face twitched. Apparently he didn’t expect Fang Xiu to be so quick-witted. In just a moment, he thought of how to answer him.
He was silent for a moment, obviously knowing that what he just said was indeed a bit like a child’s anger, and could not reach the level of elegance.
So, after thinking about it, he said: “Have you ever been to the grassland? Have you had in-depth communication with the grassland people?
Since you haven’t, how do you know that after the marriage, they will not do business with me, Da Chu, or do business with me, Da Chu?” Keep the peace?”
This sentence can be said to be the way to return the favor.
It has to be said that Yang Zheng has been in the officialdom for many years, and he really has his own way of life and wisdom. Since he can’t solve the problem, he will try his best to solve the problem of the person who raised the problem.
Avoiding the question raised by Fang Xiu and returning the contradiction of this issue to Fang Xiu himself was a way of handling it that the few old and rough generals present could not think of.
When Fang Xiu heard this, he smiled and said: “Junior and several generals have just made it very clear. Didn’t Lord Shangshu hear it?
First of all, the people of the grassland and our great Chu are friends and have contact with each other. It has been a hundred years, and they are obviously very familiar with the customs and etiquette of our country.
However, at the critical moment of the marriage negotiations, they still gathered a hundred thousand cavalry to march on the border. Could their attitude mean they want to fight with me? What is Chu’s attitude towards the marriage?
Obviously, they did not take the marriage seriously from the beginning. Whether the marriage is successful or not will not have much impact on their Khan’s decision-making,
even if it does, it may only be in a short period of time .
There is a certain weak influence.
Secondly, we cannot just think about this matter from my perspective. Knowing ourselves and the enemy will ensure victory in every battle,
and only by understanding the other party’s intentions can we accurately analyze the pros and cons of this marriage.
Regarding this point, the previous general has already analyzed it very well.
However, considering that Lord Shangshu may not have listened carefully or taken this matter to heart, I will explain it to Lord Shangshu in
the grassland .
In other words, from the standpoint of the Qiyan tribe, if the marriage with Da Chu is successful, we can gather 100,000 cavalry to attack the rest of the grassland tribes who are not convinced by the Qiyan tribe.
We will be in trouble with the alliance .
Chu will definitely not send troops to stop us. With the strength of the Qiyan tribe, we can definitely sweep through the grassland tribes by gathering 100,000 cavalry, thereby integrating the forces of the grassland and expanding our own strength.
The Qiyan tribe is now very powerful, even if it is me. Even if
the strong soldiers of Da Chu work together to fight, they may not be able to win,
let alone the Qiyan tribe that has integrated the entire grassland.
Another possibility is that the marriage with our Chu country will not work out. Then they can use this matter to accuse Chu of being the culprit of destroying the peace between the two countries, and then invade the Chu border.
In addition, several generals who have fought against the grassland people on the border have already said a lot. Clearly.
The people in the Qiyan tribe are ambitious. Even if His Majesty agrees to their request for marriage, it is impossible for them to maintain a peaceful relationship with Da Chu.
Moreover, there is a lack of supplies on the grassland. If you want to obtain tea and silk. Such materials can only be obtained from the Central Plains.
And the way to obtain them is very simple, four words, burning, killing and looting!”
“This”
Yang Zheng’s expression became a little uncomfortable when he heard this, and he opened his mouth. He wanted to say something, but before he could speak, he heard Fang Xiu raise his voice and continue: “There is no doubt about what this junior just said! The
grassland people have plundered the frontiers of our country in the past hundred years. This is a common sense that is known to every household, women and children.
If Lord Shangshu has to defend the grassland people, then I really don’t know whether Lord Shangshu is the Minister of Rites of Da Chu or the grassland people. Of course, the juniors don’t know much about the etiquette of the grassland
people.
Of course, based on their behavior, we can probably guess something. It’s just two words, rude!”
These words are very resonant !
, making it impossible to find any flaws, and even made several generals have the urge to applaud.
Even the three cabinet bachelors sitting on the chairs showed more or less approval on their faces, and they were obviously very satisfied with Fang Xiu’s words.
Seeing this scene, Yang Zheng’s face turned completely gloomy. After thinking about it for a while, he finally decided not to dwell on this issue.
Although he didn’t agree with what Fang Xiu said just now, if he defended the prairie people, today’s incident would spread out from the cabinet and be heard by the people all over the world.
He is afraid that he will be drowned by the people of the world, or the people of Chu State. It is not impossible to be despised by thousands of people and be infamy for thousands of years.
Therefore, he did not dare to take the risk and could only glare at Fang Xiu with a somewhat angry look.
The underlying meaning is obvious, that I don’t agree with what you said!
In fact, Fang Xiu didn’t care whether he recognized himself or not.
Anyway, he didn’t want to let him agree. As long as Emperor Chu agreed and Emperor Chu was satisfied, then he would have achieved his goal.
Fang Xiu raised his head, glanced at the Emperor of Chu, turned his head, and continued: “Prairie people were nomadic in the past. This has been the case for hundreds of years since the existence of the grassland and the existence of the Central Plains.
Lord Shangshu just said that he wanted to be with the grassland People do business, so I have a question to ask Lord Shangshu, is Lord Shangshu willing to ride a horse and herd sheep?”
