Zhao Changqing said to Mi Yue again: "I've seen you too, so I didn't deceive you, right? Okay, that's it for today, please go back first."

Otherwise, if you wait until dark and you still stay in the palace and spread the news that the princess of Chu is staying at the palace of the King of Wei, it will have some impact on your reputation."

Mi Yue's eyes were dim and she said: "Your Highness, King Qi, ten million taels of silver is really too much. How can we raise it all at once? So, how about asking His Highness, King Qi, for something pragmatic?"

Zhao Changqing sneered and said: "To be honest, I am only short of money now. As you heard just now, there is going to be a war soon. Do you know how much military supplies are needed in a day for war?

I have hundreds of thousands of troops to support under my command, so let’s talk about money, otherwise...Old Liu, see the guests off!"

After Zhao Changqing gave orders to Jianliu, he went to the main hall.

Mi Yue looked at Zhao Changqing's leaving figure with mixed feelings in her heart.

Jianliu stretched out a hand and said at this time: "Your Highness, please!"

Mi Yue glanced at Wei Wuji who was sleeping now, sighed in her heart, and left the palace.

After Zhao Changqing came to the main hall, all the eunuchs and generals stood together and bowed, "I will see His Highness the King of Qi!"

Zhao Changqing waved his hand, sat on the main chair, and said: "In extraordinary times, these complicated etiquette are unnecessary. Can anyone tell me the details of the Jin Kingdom?"

All the ministers were whispering to each other and talking. Only Zhuge Liang saw Zhao Changqing's frowning expression as he looked at the hustle and bustle, and then he bowed his hands and said:

"Your Majesty, we have learned from reliable information that the Jin State does intend to attack Qingzhou on a large scale. Currently, there are at least 150,000 enemy troops gathered on the border, and their strength is still increasing.

However, according to the speculation of the minister, the Jin State's move was just to shock the mountains and shake the tigers. Their real intention was actually the Chu State. After all, in the battle between Wei and Chu, the Chu State lost all its elites, and the Chu State's borders were not as sophisticated as our Wei State.

Danger can be defended.

Therefore, for the Jin State, the best target of attack is the Chu State, and the purpose of hoarding them at the Qingzhou border is just to prevent the Wei State from taking advantage of the opportunity."

After hearing Zhuge Liang's long speech, Zhao Changqing understood it, but before he spoke, the prefects couldn't sit still and retorted Zhuge Kongming one by one:

"The military advisor's words are a bit greedy for comfort. If the Jin State does not intend to capture Qingzhou, why does it station more than 100,000 troops? Wouldn't it be better to dedicate some troops and attack the Chu State?"

"Yes, the Jin Kingdom is approaching fiercely, we must not be careless. As far as our current situation in Qingzhou is concerned, we have recovered our strength and have an army of 400,000, so why should we be afraid of the Jin Kingdom?"

"That's right, let all counties prepare money and food urgently and be ready for war with Chu State!"

"..."

Hearing that so many people were opposing him, Zhuge Liang looked very indifferent. He kept looking at Qi King Zhao Changqing, as if he didn't pay attention to what others said or acted as if he hadn't heard anything.

Zhao Changqing tilted his head slightly and stroked his forehead with his hand. It had to be said that he still liked quiet situations. He really didn't like it when you and I were arguing every word.

When everyone was done arguing, he looked at Zhuge Liang and said, "According to what the military advisor said, everything is fine?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "I dare not make any rash judgments. If General Zhao Yun does not rush forward on this trip, nothing will happen for a short period of time."

Zhao Changqing nodded, and kept tapping the table with his fingers. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Kong Ming, here is a letter, reporting all the actions of the Jin State to the court. We are looking for someone to pass on Zhao Yun, so don't rush in."

This matter has been settled for now. Just go ahead and do whatever you need to do. Don’t be impatient when things happen. The sky won’t fall down yet.”

After saying this, he stood up, stretched, and left the room, preparing to go back to the house and take a nap.

Anyway, he thought very simply. If Zhuge Liang said it would be fine in the short term, then it would be fine in the short term. If you don’t believe it, everyone has to believe Zhuge Liang!

Moreover, it's good to stand still like this. Maybe you can still look at the right opportunity and get some stupidity?

These are all things that can’t be said for sure, so just love it as much as you like!

In the eyes of everyone who couldn't believe it, King Qi really just left like this.

Then everyone looked at each other:

"Are we just going to do nothing? The enemy army is already approaching. Can General Zhao alone withstand Jin's attack?"

"Yes, the prince just told us not to be impatient, but this is imminent. How can we, the ministers, just sit idly by and ignore it?"

"After much thought, I still feel that the Jin Kingdom matter is not that simple..."

Hearing everyone's discussion, Zhuge Liang seemed confident. He took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "How about you guys just listen to me?"

When they heard Zhuge Liang speak, they did not dare to be careless and all made a listening gesture.

why?

Just because of the attitude of His Highness King Qi just now!

The King of Qi, a wise and powerful man, would accept the advice of the military advisor. Who do we have to disobey?

Then I heard Zhuge Liang speak again, "Actually, King Qi's intention is not that we should do nothing. On the contrary, we should take active actions.

Just like what the prefect of Qi County said just now, we must actively prepare money, food, and supplies to turn Qingzhou into a wartime state. All institutions must be actively operated to always be prepared for the invasion of Jin.

Why do you say this? It's because His Highness King Qi understands better than anyone else. He asked Liang Liang to write a letter and report it to the court, hoping that the court would also pay attention to this matter.

If His Highness the King of Qi really didn't pay attention to Jin's invasion, how could he ask Liang to write a letter and ask the court to make preparations as soon as possible?

As for sending someone to send a message to General Zhao, this sentence is easier to understand. We want General Zhao not to underestimate the enemy and to pay close attention to the movements of Jin. In this way, we will not fall into passivity.

And asking you not to be impatient and just do whatever you have to do means that now that we are in such a situation where we are overwhelmed by the enemy's army, we naturally have to actively prepare for war and prepare some things needed for war.

As for the last sentence, it is to appease everyone and prevent everyone from panicking. Even if the situation has reached the most serious level, everyone does not need to be in danger, because today, His Highness King Qi is still supporting us."

If Zhao Changqing didn't plan to go to bed this time, but listened to Zhuge Liang's long speech, he would definitely stamp his feet in anger.

What are the words? This is.

I meant what I said literally.

Let the imperial court know that if there is a war, my Qingzhou cannot be the only one to contribute. The imperial court will also have to pay for it and provide military pay, so we must inform them in advance.

I hope Zhao Yun won’t rush in. Didn’t you, Zhuge Liang, say so? I just asked you to send someone to tell him!

And what should you do? Isn’t it good to have fun in time?

Oh, the sky is falling?

What does the sky fall have to do with me? What does it have to do with me?

…

It's a good thing that Zhao Changqing didn't hear it, otherwise he would have been so angry that he vomited blood!
