About the fact that the heir of Huajian School is a girl

Li Qingcha continued, "Master Chu, please don't be impatient. I haven't finished speaking yet."

"A chain of tricks?"

"No, I don't think it's a trick."

Li Qingcha took a breath.

"At that time, we executed the demon spy by beheading him. His head should still be kept, right? We should nitrate it and send it to the demon king's court."

emperor:"……"

The more you say it, the more outrageous it becomes.

Isn't sending the heads of civilians from the enemy country equivalent to giving an excuse for war?

No one said anything.

Even the hawkish ministers who advocated war thought Li Qingcha was crazy.

Even if you want to fight, you can't do it by attacking the enemy in the face like this.

did not expect,

"I see."

Chu Zhongtian showed a surprised expression.

He said slowly, "The demon clan sent He Xingfa to cross the border from Yanzhou, which was undoubtedly a provocation, but we couldn't justify it by using the excuse of autumn hunting. Lord Li used his own method to punish the demon clan spy, first saying that the demon clan spy was secretly in collusion with He Xingfa, and then sent the spy's head to the demon clan's royal court, saying that Daxia was helping the demon clan punish the thief."

Everyone immediately woke up.

Li Qingcha's tactics were not to sow discord, but to simply disgust people.

Although it has some trivia elements, it is really satisfying.

Hey!

Li Qingcha is the most ruthless one.

The emperor pondered.

"If we do this, will the demons get angry and start a war?"

Li Qingcha took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, I think the demon tribe made the mistake first, and Daxia is just fighting back. If they get angry because of this, then let's fight."

An official immediately stepped out and said, "Lord Li, 'Then beat them'. It's easy to say these four words, but I wonder how many people will have to pay the price for this?"

Others echoed,

"Yes."

"Your Majesty, please think twice."

……

Li Qingcha looked around.

"War is a matter of great importance to a country. It is a matter of life and death, a matter of survival and destruction. We must pay close attention to it. My Lords, I have only one thing to say: if we seek peace through struggle, then peace will survive. If we seek peace through compromise, then peace will perish."

Just this one sentence is deafening.

Chu Zhongtian's eyes lit up, and he stepped out and said, "I second the motion!"

"I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal!"

……

With Chu Zhongtian taking the lead, all the ministers who advocated a tough stance against the demon clan stood up, and others no longer dared to oppose openly.

The emperor was shocked.

Unexpectedly, Li Qingcha solved the problem as soon as he showed up.

He didn't hesitate any longer.

"Good, let's do as Li Qing said. As for the letter, let the Ministry of War draft it."

The letter should have been written by the Ministry of Rites, but this matter was unusual, so it would be more appropriate to let the Ministry of War do it.

The Minister of War came out and agreed.

The emperor nodded,

"Today's morning court session has lasted until this time. Everyone should go back to the court."

The eunuch on duty shouted at the top of his lungs: "Dismiss the court!"

The emperor stood up and walked around the screen.

As soon as his back disappeared, the ministers no longer had to pay attention to their manners. They gathered in groups of three or four to talk about the autumn hunt and cursed the demon clan for being shameless and causing all kinds of trouble.

Li Qingcha was a new official, and had few friends. No one talked to him except officials from the Ministry of Rites.

She responded with a few words, then stretched and prepared to leave.

At this time, Chu Zhongtian called her from behind.

"Master Li."

He chuckled and came closer,

"What a great saying, 'Peace survives when it is sought through struggle, but it dies when it is sought through compromise'. I have always been impressed by Mr. Siwei's insight at such a young age, and today I have to repeat it again."

Li Qingcha: ￣□￣｜｜

She said: "It's just repeating what others have said."

Picking up people's wisdom?

Chu Zhongtian had never heard anything like this.

Especially since "struggle" and "peace" are antonyms and appearing in the same sentence at the same time may seem like a logical flaw, but it actually goes straight to the point.

Chu Zhongtian said: "Mr. Siwei is still so humble."

Li Qingcha scratched his head.

"Actually, that's not entirely true."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because we have to assume that the other party is rational and is seeking peace and survival. If the demon king is a complete madman, then... well... then there will be no autumn hunt."

"Hahaha……"

Chu Zhongtian laughed.

Indeed, if the demons were really savages who ate raw meat and drank blood as the common people believed, and were not rational and communicable, then there would be absolutely no autumn hunting.

The fighting on the border between the two sides will never be stopped.

Li Qingcha said, "Master Chu, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Chu Zhongtian lowered his voice.

"Mr. Siwei, I'm just curious about how you come up with those fantastic plans. For example, what happened today, if I were the demon king, I'd be so angry that I'd die."

"This...I just thought of it casually."

"However, this move is indeed a bit... um..."

Chu Zhongtian frowned, as if he couldn't find the right words to describe it.

Li Qingcha understood.

She said: "Lord Chu is a modest gentleman, so he will naturally think that my method is a bit rogue."

Yes, it is the word "rogue".

Chu Zhongtian's eyelids twitched, and he neither denied nor admitted it.

Li Qingcha said, "Lord Chu, this is what I think. Although the demon tribe also reads the classics of the saints, they are different from us in the concept of governing the country with Confucianism. Pingping is a diplomatic mission, and they let He Xingfa lead the charge. Isn't that a rogue?"

Chu Zhongtian nodded.

"of course."

"So, to deal with an enemy who may fight at any time, I don't mind using some dirty tricks."

"..."

"..."

There was silence.

After a long while, Chu Zhongtian said: "Mr. Siwei is a truly modest gentleman. You have truly achieved the so-called 'living for the people'."

Li Qingcha waved his hand.

"In fact, we still have to take into account the face. Otherwise, I would not have proposed to forge documents to throw dirty water on He Xingfa. At least, it will give the demon royal family a way out."

Is that a staircase?

It's clearly being roasted over fire.

Chu Zhongtian could already imagine the frustration of the demon royal family.

It was their bad luck to meet such a freakish genius like Li Qingcha.

The two were chatting when they heard footsteps behind them.

The man called out, "Master Li."

Li Qingcha turned around and found that it was the eunuch who served the emperor, so he quickly greeted him.

"Father-in-law."

"The Emperor is waiting for you in the Zhonghe Hall."

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

Li Qingcha said goodbye to Chu Zhongtian and followed the eunuch towards the Zhonghe Hall.

On the way, she asked cautiously, "Eunuch, why did the emperor want to see me?"

The eunuch shook his head.

"I don't know either. But just now I heard the emperor muttering words like 'selection', so I think it should be related to this matter."

Li Qingcha's face darkened, and he thought to himself, "I hope the emperor won't let me go and deliver the head and letter of credence of that demon spy on a whim.

When two countries are at war, why don't they kill the envoys?

That's true.

But there is a prerequisite, that is, both sides still have something to talk about.

Because war is not an end, but a means. The real end needs to be discussed with envoys, fighting and talking at the same time, talking and fighting at the same time.

What's the point of discussing this after you killed the visiting enemy envoy?

It is precisely because of this that the messenger must be killed in two situations:

1. Do not accept any compromise;

2. The enemy’s main general was angry.

Li Qingcha was well aware of how disgusting his act of giving away his life was, and the possibility of being beheaded was real.

Although I am a sixth-rank master,

But the demon king's court will not be short of talent...

Thinking about all these, she and the chief eunuch came to the gate of Zhonghe Hall.

The chief eunuch said, "The Emperor has just informed you that Lord Li does not need to be summoned and can come directly to see the Emperor."
