Tang Yin accompanied Shao Fang to eat, drink and have fun in the largest restaurant in Yancheng. He held a banquet that night to welcome Shao Fang.
During the meal, Shao Fang took the initiative to join forces to send troops to Yuguo several times, but Tang Yin cleverly refused. After the meal, Tang Yin sent someone to send Shao Fang to the temple to rest, while he found Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji and asked him what the two of them were about.
Shangguan Yuanji smiled and asked, "Have you ever heard of a precedent for the monarchs of two countries to get married?"
Tang Yin had never heard of this? He was not familiar with history and slowly shook his head.
Shangguan Yuanji said: "That's because once the monarchs of the two countries get married, the two countries will become one country. There are no two kings, and the monarchs of the two countries become one family. How can there be another two countries? I think that Shao Fang's greed for Turing Frost is fake, and annexing the Jade Kingdom is real! He only used one county in Ningdi to exchange the entire Jade Kingdom for this transaction, and this transaction is a big profit!"
After listening to Shangguan Yuanji's analysis, Tang Yin suddenly realized that no wonder Shao Fang was so generous. As long as Feng Kingdom sends troops, he will send a county without fighting. It turned out that he was following this thought. Tang Yin burst out laughing, shook his head repeatedly, and murmured: "What a calculating Shao Fang!"

After pausing, he asked again: "How old is Lingshuang this year?"
Shangguan Yuanji said, "Twenty-five."
“Not married yet?”
"No." Shangguan Yuanji said: "The people who like the Jade King are humble from a humble background and the ministers oppose it. Although the people who like the ministers are noble, the Jade King looks down on them, so until now, the Jade King has not been able to get married."
If that is the case, it would be reasonable for Shao Fang to marry Lingshuang. He frowned and asked, "Yuan Ji, in your opinion, should we still help with this?"
"Of course not!" Shangguan Yuanji could not speak, Qiu Zhen had already stood up to oppose it, he said seriously: "King, if Mo State is allowed to successfully annex the Yu State, then Mo State's national strength will increase greatly and will become a major concern in our country in the future."
"Yeah!" Tang Yin nodded in agreement.
But Shangguan Yuanji shook his head and said, "I don't think so."
"Oh? How do Yuan Ji say this?"
"It is a fact that the Mo Kingdom helped our country. This time, King Mo came to ask the king for help. If the king did not agree, it would appear that the king was too ruthless and unrighteous, and the population was actually affected. This is one of them. Secondly, the country will not become a threat to our country for the time being, but will form a solid barrier, which will regard Chuan Zhen and other countries outside our country. The biggest worry in our country now is the two powerful countries of Chuan Zhen. As for whether Mo Kingdom will become a hidden danger, that is something to be considered in the future." Shangguan Yuanji expressed his thoughts.
Qiu Zhen did not agree with his point of view. "If a person has no long-term plan, he will have immediate worries! Helping Mo to annex the Jade Kingdom is to raise a tiger as a disaster, and our country will suffer in the future!"
Although Shangguan Yuanji is sleek, he refused to let him go when it comes to major issues of the country. He said seriously: "Will Mo Guo become a hidden danger and a threat? It is still too early to say that we can't see that far. However, the hostility and threats of the two countries of Chuan Shizuo to our country are real. Our primary enemy is these two countries, not Mo Guo. If you offend Mo Guo now, it would be an unwise move."
Qiu Zhen shook his head repeatedly and said, "Although Chuan Zhen and the two countries are enemies, they are too far from our country. Even if they are in war, there is still a lot of room for our country to deal with each other. Although Mo is an ally, it is bordered by our country, helping them grow bigger, and their ambitions expand, and the consequences are unimaginable."
The two of them had different opinions, and they talked very quickly, and Tang Yin's mind was heartbroken. In his opinion, Qiu Zhen's concerns made sense, but Shangguan Yuanji's words were correct. Tang Yin was also a little confused whether to help or not.
If you encounter such a problem in normal times, Tang Yin can choose to escape and let Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji fight for the result, but now it doesn't work. He will reply to Shao Fang tomorrow and must draw a conclusion tonight.
Listening to the argument between them, Tang Yin's brain was running rapidly. After a long silence, he suddenly spoke: "What I think is, even if our country and Mo Guo jointly send troops, what if Yu Guo still refuses to agree to Shao Fang's proposal?"
This sentence successfully calmed Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji. The two of them thought about it and said in unison: "It shouldn't be."
"Oh?" Tang Yin asked with a smile: "You two are so sure Ling Shuang will accept it? Don't she have a favorite?"
"Which Feng and Mo jointly sent troops, no matter which country it was, it would be difficult to resist. With the national strength and military strength of the Jade Kingdom, if the country really fought, it would probably be a collapse in the whole country in less than half a year. As the monarch, the Jade King would not be ignorant of the general situation, nor would he fight this war, so he could only choose to compromise."
Qiu Zhen nodded, he agreed to this. How about Ningguo? It is several times stronger than Yuguo's national strength, but under the attack of Fengmo coalition, it quickly collapsed and finally ended in destruction.
Shangguan Yuanji shook his head and smiled bitterly. He said quietly: "King Mo is really smart. He came to ask the king for help. First, he wanted to recruit the king to send troops, and second, he also asked the king to give him a legitimate reason to send troops."
Tang Yin said in confusion: "What reason can I give him to send troops?"
"The king cannot, but the king has the ability!" Shangguan Yuanji said: "Because the emperor is in the hands of the king. If the emperor issued an order and ordered this marriage, if the Jade King disagreed, then Feng Mo and the two countries can use the excuse of the Jade King's resistance to the order and send troops legitimately."
Oh! It turns out that there is still this relationship. If Shao Fang really planned this way, then he had a good plan. Tang Yin said: "It seems that Shao Fang's trip to Fengguo has been planned for a long time."
"It can be said that. In other words, Shao Fang is bound to win the Yu Kingdom!"
"Even so, I'll help him?"
"I think it is temporarily beneficial to our country to grow bigger."
Tang Yin turned his eyes and looked at Qiu Zhen again. The latter still objected and said, "If Mo's country is bigger, it will be more harmful than good in the long run."
Shangguan Yuanji sighed lightly and said, "Now is the most difficult period for our country. The national strength is weak and the military has not recovered. The eight counties in Ningbei have not yet been completely absorbed. What our country needs most is time, and what we fear most is that foreign enemies regroup and attack again. Even if King Mo married King Yu, the integration of the two countries between Mo Yu will take a long time. During this period, with the two countries of Mo Yu as a barrier, it will be enough for our country to recover. Even if Mo Country has ambitions in the future, we will not be afraid of it."
Hearing this, Qiu Zhen did not refute it immediately, but calmed down and carefully pondered Shangguan Yuanji's analysis.
Tang Yin also nodded repeatedly and said, "I think Yuanji's words make sense, Qiu Zhen, what do you think?"
Qiu Zhen did not object, but he did not agree, and just said, "Everything is decided by the king."
"Okay." Tang Yin took a deep breath and said, "This time we will do it according to Yuan Ji's wishes. We accept Shao Fang's request and send troops to help him." After that, he asked Qiu Zhen again, "How many troops are appropriate? A legion?"
Qiu Zhen smiled and said, "Since the king decided to help King Mo, don't be too stingy. Only leave the direct troops to defend the country. Other legions can be sent out. This is also an opportunity to train troops. Moreover, the money and food sent by Mo Kingdom will be paid by our country, and our country will not lose much."
Tang Yin praised: "It makes sense!"
After the discussion came to an end, Tang Yin breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that it was getting late, he said to the two of them: "You two should go back to rest early to nourish your energy. You have to continue dealing with Shao Fang tomorrow!"
"Yes! King! I'm leaving!" Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji bowed and both left the study room.
Even when he got outside, Qiu Zhen was still worried and pulled Shangguan Yuanji's sleeve, saying that it was too dangerous to help Mo Kingdom become bigger. Mo Wang Shao Fangfei and other people were both talented and ambitious.
Shangguan Yuanji strongly agreed with Qiu Zhen's point of view, but in his opinion, things must be divided into primary and secondary. At present, for Feng Kingdom, Mo Kingdom is only a hidden danger, and Chuan Zhen is the biggest threat.
The two of them talked while walking for a while, but Shangguan Yuanji stopped leaving. After Qiu Zhen asked, he realized that he was going to visit the seriously injured Yuanwu.
Qiu Zhen patted his head, and he really ignored Yuan Wu. He had visited his injuries for so long. Qiu Zhen was not in a hurry to go home, and followed Shangguan Yuanji to the yard where Yuan Wu lived.
The next day, Shao Fang came to the royal palace early in the morning to ask Tang Yin's decision on sending troops to the Yu Kingdom.
Although Tang Yin had decided to help him, he did not want to simply agree. He found a lot of excuses for shirking.
Listening to his words, he seemed to have no intention of helping him. Shao Fangke was a little anxious and brought out the words Mo Guo had to be loving to Feng Guo.
This time, Tang Yin was not as polite as yesterday. He smiled and said, "Mo State has kindness to Feng State. Even if Brother Shao doesn't mention it, I will not forget it. However, why Mo State helps Feng State is actually helping him? Brother Shao is a smart person and understands the truth that his lips are dead and his teeth are cold. In this case, Brother Shao will not mention it again in the future, so as not to hurt each other's feelings."
Shao Fang's face suddenly darkened. Before he could speak, Tang Yin smiled and said with a different point of view: "Just like I have helped Brother Shao before, but I have never mentioned it in front of Brother Shao."
Was stunned by Tang Yin's sudden words. Shao Fang pondered for a moment before he suddenly understood what Tang Yin was referring to. He was talking about his own throne.
Old Shao Fang's face turned slightly red, and he swallowed the words he had just said. He changed his mind, nodded with a smile, and said, "What Brother Tang said is reasonable, because he has made a mistake for his brother."
The rare Shao Fang could surrender. Tang Yin smiled and waved his hand and said, "Brother Shao doesn't have to say that. Brother Shao has always been a person who makes me deeply 'admired'!"
