Chapter 0298 Good fortune and misfortune are unpredictable
As soon as Tang Qing left, Wanyan Shouxu lost his temper. He glared at the civil and military officials of the court and said, "What should we do now? I'm asking you, are you mute?"
Mu Yanfengguan was the first to say: "Master Lang, Mongolia has the intention of destroying me. Tang Qing is here to seek death. He just wants to find a reason for Mongolia to start a war. Since a war is inevitable, I think Tang Qing should be killed."
Celebrate and set your sights straight."
"No."
Wanyan Bojia, a political advisor to the Council of Political Affairs, objected. He said: "Mongolia has just destroyed the Xia Kingdom, and the war is at its peak. It would be disadvantageous for me to start a war at this time."
Mu Yanfengguan pressed him and asked: "If we don't start a war, do we want Master Lang to surrender to Genghis Khan?"
Let's talk. Mu Yanfengguan looked at General Wanyan Yinke and asked: "General Yinke, if the country goes to war, do you dare to die?"
Wanyan Yingke was asked, how did she manage to get herself in? And is there a second answer to your question?
Naturally, Wanyan Yoke could not be timid, he said: "I am going from north to south, why should I fear life and death!"
Mu Yanfengguan nodded, looked at General Obotai, and asked: "General Obotai, are you afraid of death?"
Obotai was stunned, then straightened his waist and said: "I have killed countless enemies, how can I be afraid of death!"
Mu Yanfengguan immediately turned to Wanyan Shouxu and said: "Master Lang, if the general is not afraid of death, then the soldiers will dare to fight. Why is it that I, the great king of heaven, are so afraid of war? If Mongolia wants to fight, then fight with him. If it is true,
Even if the country is subjugated, it will not lose the image of a great country."
Chen Gui, a doctor in the Ministry of Personnel, spoke out against Mu Yan Fengguan's proposal to start a war. He said to Mu Yan Fengguan: "Mu Yan's words are wrong. The generals in the court are brave, but they cannot represent the entire army. I have been here many times."
As an official in Shaanxi, I have a lot of contact with its soldiers and generals. The soldiers and generals are so redundant and cowardly that they may not be able to carry out major tasks."
As soon as Chen Gui finished speaking, another minister immediately opposed his point of view.
I only heard the supervisory censor Wu Gulun Sihe retort: "I don't think so."
He said to Chen Gui: "You have been to Shaanxi many times as an official, and I have also visited Shaanxi many times. I have seen that the Shaanxi soldiers are brave and can't stand the Mongolian bullying. Everyone wants to fight, but I have never seen anyone change his face when talking about Mongolia.
On the other hand, many officials in the court are not as good as them."
The main war faction and the anti-war faction had a heated argument. Finally, they all looked at Wanyan Shouxu and asked him to make a decision.
Wanyan Shouxu was like being roasted on the fire at this time. If he didn't fight, he would be said to be bloodless and lose the integrity of the country. If he fought, he was afraid of destroying the country. Then Li Sui's tragedy would happen to him again.
Wanyan Bojia, the political advisor, saw through his mind and immediately came out to relieve the siege. He said to Mu Yanfengguan: "The affairs of the imperial court are not so simple. If everything is to be surrendered without fighting, and fought without surrender, then why is it necessary?"
Hundreds of officials discuss government affairs?"
Mu Yanfengguan refused to give in, "The Mongolian envoy just now was so arrogant. With his attitude, is there any other possibility for the Jin Kingdom besides accepting the challenge?"
"Of course, it is possible to negotiate peace. Mongolia has just experienced a war. Don't they want to recuperate? As long as they are given benefits, it is possible for the two countries to stop fighting."
Wanyan Bojia advocated for peace, and then raised his hand to Wanyan Shouxu and said: "Master Lang, there were rumors earlier that Genghis Khan's health was deteriorating, and now Genghis Khan has established Wokuotai as the crown prince. In this way, stability is the key to Mongolia today.
That's all, if we send envoys to negotiate peace with them, we may not be unable to succeed."
Wanyan Shouxu was overjoyed. As long as he could reach a peace agreement, he could delay it for a few more years and enjoy a stable life. This would be the best thing.
So Wanyan Shouxu immediately ordered the imperial censor Wanyan Hazhao to be the peace ambassador and go to meet Genghis Khan to discuss the matter of friendly coexistence between the two countries and the withdrawal of troops to rest.
After the dispersion of the dynasty, Mu Yanfengguan was so worried and angry that he fell ill when he returned home.
When a friend came to visit him, he said, "My big brother is going to die, and my heart aches."
Friends say he is too pessimistic and a bit unfounded.
Mu Yanfeng Guan shook his head, with tears in his eyes, and said: "The Mongolian army is very powerful. If you want to negotiate peace with them, you must first have the determination to fight to the death before you can have the chance to negotiate peace. Now the whole court is filled with the voice of timid peace negotiations.
We have lost our determination to fight for death, so by negotiating peace, we are actually proving to Mongolia that our Jin country is incompetent. In the future, Mongolia will come with the power of destroying Xia, how can I, Dajin, resist it?"
Mu Yanfengguan was worried, but Wanyan Shouxu was cheerful. At this time, he realized that he was out of trouble, so he went to the garden with his concubines to enjoy the scenery, without any worries.
While having lunch, there was a cook named Wang Zhi in the kitchen. He was creative and made a strange raw white noodles for Wanyan Shouxu.
This raw white noodle is made of dry white noodles that are wrapped together and then pressed deliberately to form a round block the size of a bowl. It is not heavy to hold and is very light.
Many cooks were surprised when they saw this food and wanted to try the taste, but Wang Zhi told them that it was still half-raw. Although it was edible, it didn't taste cooked and delicious.
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly advised Wang Zhi not to send it away, so as not to taste bad and make the husband angry.
Wang Zhi, however, was full of confidence. He said: "I am a noodle chef who will definitely like it. I will only be successful today."
When the white noodles were served, Wanyan Shouxu's attention was indeed caught.
Wanyan Shouxu took it in his hand, looked at it for a while, and asked, "What is this?"
The waiter looked at Wang Zhi, and Wang Zhi took a step forward and said: "Reporting to Master Lang, this thing was recently developed by a villain. If it is to be eaten, it needs to be soaked in hot water, add a little seasoning, and it can be soaked and eaten immediately.
It is extremely delicious, very convenient and light, and if stored, it will last for many years without going bad.”
Wanyan Shouxu became interested and immediately asked Wang Zhi to demonstrate the soaking process.
Wang Zhi was very skillful. He soaked the white noodles in hot water, added seasonings, and covered the bowl with a porcelain plate. He did nothing else, and with just a little effort, a steaming bowl of noodles appeared, filled with fragrant aroma.
.
Wanyan Shouxu was surprised and said: "I didn't expect this pasta to be prepared so easily. It has a pleasant aroma and a pleasant aroma."
After praising it, Wanyan Shouxu started eating.
The bowl was eaten quickly, but Wanyan Shouxu felt that he was not full yet. Wang Zhi felt happy and hurriedly made another bowl for Wanyan Shouxu.
Halfway through the second bowl, Wanyan Shouxu was full. He threw away his chopsticks and said with an unhappy face, "What kind of white noodles is this? You can't finish one bowl or two bowls. Are you kidding me?"
After saying that, Wanyan Shouxu waved his hand, "Come on, pull this dog slave down and chop him down."
"Yes, Master Lang."
The guards were ordered to pull Wang Zhi down and behead him, one on the left and the other on the right.
Wang Zhi was shocked and scared out of his wits. He shouted loudly: "Mr. Lang, please spare my life. Master, please spare your life. I just want to please Mr. Lang. Mr. Lang is not full in one bowl. I just need to increase the portion."
He cried loudly, but no one paid attention to him. Soon, Wang Zhi was beheaded.
