I, the queen and the father, start with a deer as a horse

Chapter 34 Wu State Mission
One is born, the second is cooked.

Fang Xiu didn't bother to care when she arrived, and asked directly, "What's the matter?"

Shangguan Haitang took out a letter from her bosom, handed it to Fang Xiu, and said seriously:

"Wu Guo sent a mission, and it will arrive in Chang'an within two days."

Fang Xiu reached out to take the letter and read it from top to bottom.

The letter said very clearly.

The grain merchant incident spread to the capital of Wu State.

Wu Guo was furious!
The Emperor of Wu even made an angrily decree in front of all civil and military officials!
Denounce Fang Xiu, Prime Minister of the Qian Kingdom!

At the same time, a mission was sent to Qianguo to discuss the matter of compensation!
Fang Xiu looked at it for a while, then raised his eyes to Shangguan Haitang, and asked, "Do you have any information about this mission?"

Shangguan Haitang said: "I only know that the leader is Hu Shifan, the son of the chief assistant of the state of Wu and member of the Ministry of Rites."

Listening to the name is not a good thing.

Fang Xiu complained in his heart, thought for a while, and then asked: "How is the war between Wu and Yue?"

Shangguan Haitang replied: "Still anxious, Yue State has occupied a quarter of Wu State's fertile land, and the Emperor of Wu State is calling on the gentry to donate money and recruit soldiers."

A quarter of the fertile land has been occupied by others.

Do you still care about the life and death of a group of grain merchants?

Aren't they afraid of offending Qianguo and putting themselves in a situation where they are enemies?
Hearing this, Fang Xiu frowned slightly, as if he didn't understand Wu Guo's brain circuit.

Shangguan Haitang seemed to see Fang Xiu's doubts, and said hesitantly: "Master, according to my humble knowledge, the reason why Wu Guo still sent a mission at this time is because"

"Because of what?"

Shangguan Haitang hesitated for a moment, and said: "Because in their eyes, the court of Qian Kingdom has always been weak, so they must not dare to offend Wu Kingdom."

"As long as we send out missions and exert pressure, the imperial court of Qian Kingdom will definitely back down and sign a compensation agreement."

"."

What Shangguan Haitang said was very cryptic.

But Fang Xiu could understand.

The so-called imperial court of Qianguo actually refers to one person——Fang Xiu, the minister of power!
That is himself!

"It seems that the previous one was a scumbag! He only knew how to bully his own family, but when he got outside, he became a soft bone and a doormat."

"Otherwise, the country of Wu, which is still mired in the quagmire, would dare to send a mission at this time."

"It's just that the truth is not the bullying Baozi before!"

"As long as they dare to come, they have to leave a piece of meat before leaving!"

When Fang Xiu thought of this, a bright light burst out in his eyes, and he had already made a decision in his heart.

He looked at Shangguan Haitang, and ordered: "Leave the rest for now, and do our best to investigate the Wu mission. After two days, I will see the information of each of them!"

Shangguan Haitang said seriously: "Yes, Master!"

The next day, early in the morning.

A gleam of light on the eastern horizon.

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Wu Mingkong, who was dressed in a dragon robe, sat on the dragon chair, propped his head on his small hands, staring blankly at the memorial in front of him.

His eyes were a little loose, with an absent-minded look.

Yesterday, when she woke up on Yi Renju's bed, she felt a headache.

The picture of memory stays at the scene where the guy hugged him.

What happened after that, but I can't remember at all.

It would be fine if he couldn't remember everything that happened in Yirenju.

But the memory before entering the wing room is inexplicably profound!

Those pictures seemed to be imprinted in her mind, lingering.

The thought of showing such a weak side in front of that guy.

He even almost called him Xiangfu.

Wu Mingkong couldn't help scratching the ground with his toes, wishing he could bury his head in the memorial.

"His Majesty!"

Lin Wan'er stood behind the empress, glanced at the sundial outside the hall, and reminded in a low voice, "It's time to go up."

The Empress seemed not to have heard it, and stared at the memorial in a daze, with an absent-minded appearance.

Seeing this, Lin Wan'er raised her voice and reminded, "Your Majesty, it's time!"

Is it time?
Startled, Wu Mingkong raised his eyes and looked out the window.

The position where the sundial is aligned is indeed Maoshi!
She took a deep breath, shook her head, regained her calm appearance, and said lightly, "Go up."

Done.

Stand up and walk towards Fengtian Temple.

After a while.

Inside Fengtian Temple.

Wu Mingkong sat high on the dragon chair, with a dignified appearance and a cold expression, like an iceberg, inaccessible!

offstage.

Civil and military officials line up on both sides.

Missed two morning courts in a row.

Taiwei Tian Runyu finally returned to the top position of military officer.

Fang Xiu's scolding directly made him sick for a week.

As soon as my body got better today, I couldn't wait to return to the court.

Because the day before, he just got a piece of news!
Wu Guo sent a mission and arrived in Chang'an within two days.

One is to denounce Fang Xiu!
The second is to negotiate compensation!

He dragged his still sick body back to Fengtian Temple just to take a look.

How will Fang Xiu, a bastard, face Wu Guo's condemnation!
All officials stood still.

Next to the empress, the court lady shouted in a shrill voice: "If there is a book to play, there is no book to retreat!"

The voice just fell.

Zhou Zheng, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, stood up and said loudly: "I have a book to play!"

The queen's cold voice sounded.

"allow!"

Zhou Zheng saluted, and then said: "Your Majesty! Yesterday Wu Guo sent a letter, and the letter stated that they will send a mission today to visit me!"

The empress frowned slightly when she heard this, and she had already guessed the purpose of the Wu mission's visit to Beijing, but she still asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhou Zheng hesitated for a moment, and said: "It should be because of the execution of the Wu State grain merchant!"

The voice fell.

There was a burst of heated discussions in Fengtian Hall.

"I know that more than 300 grain merchants have been killed, and the Wu court will never let it go!"

"Although Wu people don't practice martial arts, they are rich in products and strong in national power. If the emperor of Wu is determined to stand up for those Wu merchants, what should I do?"

"The war between the imperial court and the state of Zhou has just ended. If there is another war, I fear that the country will be shaken!"

"War together, it is the people who suffer after all!"

"Now the imperial court has only one way out, which is to agree to the request of the Wu State Mission to avoid another war. Even if we bear the infamy, we can no longer suffer the common people!"

Above the court hall, hundreds of officials talked about it.

Among those who spoke, no one advocated being tough on Wu Guo!

Everyone kept their mouths open and closed, saying, don't start wars lightly, don't suffer the people, Wu Guoqiang, Gan Guowei, etc.

on the dragon chair.

Wu Mingkong frowned slightly when he heard these words.

She knows it too.

The imperial court does not have the capital to fight Wu Guo now.

but!
Right now, the mission of the State of Wu has not arrived in Beijing, and all the officials in the court count as one, but they are all scared out of their wits!

It seems to be facing an unstoppable scourge!
It must be chilling!

Wu Mingkong looked at all the officials who were spitting, and felt that his heart had sunk to the bottom of the valley.

at this time.

Taiwei Tian Runyu suddenly stepped out, saluted tremblingly, and shouted in an old but powerful voice:
"Your Majesty! I have something to say!"
