Faced with the proposal of the Chu State Ling Yin to hold an alliance meeting in Guo, the Zheng State court immediately divided into two opposing factions.

One faction is naturally the pro-Chu faction headed by Feng Duan. The reason is that Zheng and Chu are similar and they must not give Chu an excuse to attack Zheng.

The pro-Jin faction headed by Zichan was naturally firmly opposed to Zheng Guo sending envoys to participate in the Guo League.

The reason is also very good, that is, the relationship between Zheng State and Jin State has just eased. If you dare to risk the disapproval of the world and openly declare support and support for this alliance headed by Chu State, this will either be obvious or a slander.

Both ends? If so, wouldn't it directly offend the Jin State?

Isn't the experience and lesson of Zheng Guo's wavering between Jin and Chu not painful enough? If Zheng Guo had not been wavering between Jin and Chu, why would it have sunk for nearly two hundred years?

"Guoqiao! This time the Chu State is holding an alliance meeting, the prince is not the only one who invites the Zheng family. All the princes in the world may go there. If I, the Zheng State, don't go, won't I be the enemy of the princes in the world?

?”

"Furthermore, the hegemony of Jin has long since lost its former glory. Everyone can see at the meeting in Pingqiu that he is just dying! You, Zichan, can be considered to have insight into everything. How can you turn a blind eye to these facts?"

"How can the twilight Jin Dynasty be compared with the mighty Chu State in its prime? If our Zheng State cannot rely on the Chu State, will we have to be enemies of the Chu State?! By then, the Jin State will really come to rescue us? Hmph! I don't think so.

Bar?!"

Si Hei responded quickly, and his rebuttal was considered well-founded.

Nowadays, the six Jin families have their own agendas, and the entire country is in a state of semi-division. To say that he still has the strength to save Zheng Guo? It is indeed very likely that he will not be able to count on it.

Zichan actually knew this very well. But at the moment, no matter how hard he spoke, he must try his best to stop this alliance meeting.

"Zixi's words are wrong!"

"I think our country, Zheng, is suffering between Jin and Chu. If we are close to Jin, Chu will attack us; if we are close to Chu, then Jin will attack us. This is the lesson learned over the past hundred years!"

"Now that we are lucky enough to be able to avoid disasters, we still choose to stir up trouble and help others to do evil! This is bringing disaster upon ourselves!"

"Besides, as long as I, the State of Zheng, do not go to participate in the alliance, then other vassal states will naturally not go. As long as everyone does not go, then how can I, the State of Zheng, be an enemy of the princes of the world? As the saying goes, 'Public anger is difficult to bear.

If you commit a crime, it will be difficult to achieve what you want.' How could the Chu State be able to offend the public and raise an army to attack me?"

What Zichan means is that at this critical juncture, our Zheng State should retain the room for its own independent diplomacy and have its own judgment, instead of always thinking of relying on this or that.

However, this statement was obviously untenable, so it was immediately refuted by Toyodan.

"What are you talking about? Is it possible that as soon as I, Zheng Guo, got married to the Chu State, I could immediately turn my back on him?"

"If word spreads, how will the people of the world view me, the State of Zheng?"

"Zi Chan, please don't bring our country of Zheng into trouble for your own selfish reasons!"

Feng Duan's voice was stern and he described himself as very angry. At this time, the smell of gunpowder suddenly filled the temple.

"Humph! When I assumed this position of power, I only wanted to serve the country wholeheartedly. I have never shown any favoritism!"

"The disadvantages of attending the meeting are so obvious, but you are so determined to go, Fengduan. I am afraid that you are the one who wants to put our country, Zheng, into dire straits!"

Zichan was so angry for a moment that he actually started to confront each other without giving in at all.

This time, both parties finally put aside their scolding battle.

On the side of Qin Chu, Si Hei did not give any face to Zichan, the ruling minister. Although he was not one of the six ministers, he also spoke rudely and his words were particularly sharp.

"Hmph! I think of all the people in the Zheng Kingdom. You are not the only one who is dedicated to serving the country?!"

"Rejecting the Chu Alliance this time is a breach of trust! You Zichan cannot bear this responsibility!"

What he said is correct. The Song Alliance's agreement was to wipe out troops and obey it. Who dares to openly reject it?

"Haha, my son was born to stand upright with heaven and earth. Why can't he shoulder the responsibility?"

Zichan was so anxious at this time that he just laughed it off.

At this time, a handsome young man who had been standing next to Zichan suddenly stood up.

"Everyone, although the Chu Dynasty is fierce, but the Jin Dynasty is still powerful, neither side can afford to offend. Please calm down and think again."

"Uncle Zi? What do you know? How can you speak here?"

As soon as the young man finished speaking, Si Hei immediately cast a hateful look at him.

This young man whom he calls Taishu Zi is none other than the patriarch of the You clan - You Ji.

You Ji, You family name, Ji, courtesy name Zi Taishu.

In fact, speaking of it, although You Ji is not very old, he is still one of the six chief ministers! Although he is a generation lower, his status is not lower than Si Hei.

"What does Doctor Zixi mean by this? This is a court meeting, not a single statement! Since Uncle Zixi is a minister, how come he is not qualified to express his opinion?"

Zichan was very angry at that time, but due to Sihei's seniority, he did not dare to say these words too harshly.

When Si Hei heard the sound, he immediately snorted coldly and said no more.

On the other hand, when Feng Duan saw this, he couldn't help but smile coldly:

"Humph, he's just a young boy, and he's just like me giving birth to you. He's so ignorant!"

You Ji was about to retort, but unexpectedly, Han Hu, who had never spoken before, suddenly "coughed".

"Everyone has been arguing about it, but it seems that there is no conclusion that everyone can be satisfied with."

"If that's the case, how about we ask the Jin State for their opinion first?"

A tiger naturally wants to give birth to a child.

But this matter was of great importance, and he couldn't openly favor Zichan, so he came up with a compromise.

Moreover, it is still the key to this matter.

Since Chu State is going to hold an alliance meeting in Guodi, in the final analysis, whether we participate or not is a trivial matter. Whether Jin State goes or not is a big deal.

If the Jin Kingdom also goes there, then what do we have to worry about?

If the Jin State does not go, then most of the other vassal states will not go either. Then we can just follow the Jin State, right?

Just as Zichan said just now: It is difficult to offend when people are angry, and it is difficult to achieve by single-minded desire. If Chu wants to find someone to vent its anger on, it will at least have to think carefully before doing so.

"Well, what Dangguo said is very reasonable!"

Zichan was the first one to hand it over and say yes.

"However, if you go to Jin State, you will inevitably pass by Guo Di. This time, the number of people sent to Jin State should not be too large. Who should be sent?"

At this time, Yin Duan (zi Shi), who had always been the most aloof from the world, was afraid that the atmosphere of the court meeting would once again reach a deadlock. So, he immediately followed Han Hu's words and continued to pretend to ask. That is, he

With such an understatement, the matter was completely settled.

As for the pro-Chu faction, Feng Duan understood immediately when he saw this and couldn't say any more.

As for Yin Duan's question, everyone knew in their hearts that apart from Zi Chan, who was the ruling minister, who else could come forward at this time?

Of course, Han Hu had a tacit understanding with him, but there was no sign of any disturbance on the surface.

"In that case, Zichan, it's up to you to go to Jin this time. Let's ask the Marquis of Jin what he means."

"promise."

In fact, how could Zichan not know what Hanhu meant?

He said that he was asked to ask the Marquis of Jin, but in fact he was asking him to persuade the Marquis of Jin not to participate in the Guo Alliance meeting.
