Dani read the secret letter carefully again. Yes, it was a letter from the Chu people asking for help. Instead of asking for help from the neighboring Tang Kingdom, they asked us for help.
Su Lu walked towards the door and gave instructions:
"Develop a new type of flying bird carefully. Whether we can defeat Mali and defeat Taixi depends on whether your Ordnance Mansion can build a powerful flying bird."
Dani stood upright and her voice was pleasant:
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Dani promises to complete the task."
Su got on the carriage and went to the palace.
Dani looked at the back of the carriage, her cheeks full of hesitation and her eyes full of attachment. After a long while, she turned around and entered the Ordnance House.
Meeting Qingfeng with an ugly face, Dani lowered her tone and said, thinking of the prince's explanation:
"Qingfeng, I see that your mind is unstable. Please don't come to Feiniao Division again these days. Go to Beijing Camp and stay for a year and a half."
With that said, Dani ordered the commander of the Forbidden Army of the Ordnance Mansion next to her, "Go and arrange Qingfeng's matter so that he will try not to come into contact with the production of important weapons, and let him wait for a while first."
Qingfeng almost broke his teeth.
This is so disrespectful. They arranged my whereabouts and even told me in front of me that they would leave me alone for a while.
The clay figurine is still very angry, so I won't do it anymore.
"If you don't bother to make arrangements, I'll quit."
Qingfeng took off his robe, threw it to the ground, and strode out of the Ordnance Mansion.
Walking out of the door of the Ordnance Mansion, Qingfeng felt a sense of relief in his heart. He no longer had to suffer this humiliation, but what he said next made him almost run away.
"Qingfeng quits, then send an order saying that Qingfeng abandoned his official position and left, and is not allowed to enter the Ordnance Mansion again."
Qingfeng almost turned around and cursed, but thinking that this was the Ordnance Department, which was heavily guarded, he gritted his teeth and turned around to leave.
When Su Lu returned to the palace, he was invited to the imperial study room by the guards and met a group of ministers who were discussing matters.
"For the current plan, we must help the people of Chu. To help them is to help ourselves."
This is Qian Qianyi's voice.
Su Lu was a little surprised. When did Qian Qianyi become so impassioned? Helping the Chu people is helping ourselves. This statement is quite novel.
Dong Ling interrupted Qian Qianyi and said:
"Chu land and I are thousands of miles apart. I don't know how Qian Shangshu realized that helping the Chu people is helping ourselves."
Zhou Ping also spoke:
"Old Qian, this is nonsense. If the Kingdom of Chu is destroyed, what does it have to do with me?"
Qian Qianyi became a little angry:
"Sit back and watch the Chu Kingdom collapse. Below is the Tang Kingdom, and below that is our Han Kingdom."
"As the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and the skin is gone, the hair will not be attached. Our country of Han, Chu, and Tang Dynasty are interdependent on each other..."
"Qian Shangshu, I remember that your family is from a wealthy family in Chu. Why, are you homesick?"
Sitting next to each other, Qi Qi smiled and said with squinted eyes.
Qian Qianyi stood up suddenly, his face turned red, and he pointed at Ping Qi:
"Your Majesty, Ping Qi is too humiliating, and I am at odds with him."
"sit down"
Li Qing got angry and slapped the table.
"This is a place to discuss military matters, not a vegetable market where you quarrel. Everyone, sit down."
Qian Qianyi snorted and sat down.
Dong Cheng spoke:
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is here. We might as well listen to Your Majesty's thoughts. Saving Chu or not saving Chu will have certain interests for our country of Han. We are certainly not as clear-eyed as Your Majesty about the merits of this."
Su Lu randomly chose a chair and sat down, and said with a smile:
"Old Dong, you think highly of me. I don't think further than you. At most, there is no interest entanglement. If you don't care, it will be chaos."
Li Qing asked:
"In this case, should we save Chu or not?"
"Why should we save Chu?"
Su Lu asked, scanning the crowd and stopping Qian Qianyi who wanted to stand up and speak.
Qian Qianyi sighed and sat down helplessly.
Forced by Qian Qianyi's gaze, Yu Wei stood up helplessly:
"Your Majesty, Shangshu Qian just said that Chu and Han are as dependent on each other as lips and teeth. If Chu dies, Han will lose their dependence on each other..."
Yu Wei waved his hands in annoyance:
"In my opinion, it doesn't matter whether we save Chu or not. It all depends on whether the benefits are sufficient. If the benefits are sufficient, let alone saving Chu, we will do it even if we destroy Mali."
Zhou Yuan said beside him:
"What Yu Shangshu said is absolutely true. To save Chu, it was the life of our son of the Han Kingdom. If there were not enough benefits, the life of our son of the Han Kingdom would be sacrificed in vain. This would be dereliction of duty by our officials and waste of consideration for the people's respect for us.
expect."
"To save Chu, Chu will naturally give up its interests..."
For a time, the imperial study room turned into a vegetable market again.
Li Qing held his forehead and sighed.
Su Lu glanced at Gao Dabao at the door. Gao Dabao waved his hand, and two guards came in deftly. One on the left and one on the right, they set up Qian Qianyi.
"Let me go, I have something to say."
"I am loyal and outspoken for the Han Dynasty, you can't do this."
"Gao Dabao, you are not a son of man."
Qian Qianyi was dragged out and shouted all the way.
After leaving the imperial study, Gao Dabao saluted Qian Qianyi:
"Shang Shu Qian, please forgive me. This is my duty as a subordinate. Please forgive me for any offense I may have offended."
Qian Qianyi gently stroked his beard, his face full of a calm smile.
"It is the duty of a high school captain to fulfill his duties. There is nothing sinister about it."
"I'm sorry, I just said something indiscriminately. If I offended you in any way, I hope the captain won't blame me."
After saying that, the old man walked out calmly, with no intention of returning to the imperial study, leaving behind Gao Dabao and a group of guards who were waiting for him.
Gao Dabao shouted from a distance:
"Shang Shu Qian, are you not going to speak up for Chu State?"
Qian Qianyi waved his hand and walked away quickly.
In the imperial study room, Su Lu gave instructions:
"The Kingdom of Chu is asking for help. Now that there is no old money to disrupt the situation, please tell me what we should do about this matter."
"Of course I won't save you."
Dong Ling was the first to stand up and said:
"As Mr. Qian said, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. The Chu State is not our barrier to the Han State. It doesn't matter whether we save it or not."
Cao Hua also spoke:
"If we can bulldoze the Tang state now and make the Tang land Han territory, then we will naturally save Chu. But now, there is no need."
"On the contrary, it is the Tang State. We can incite the Tang State to send troops to fight against Mali, who will lose his lips and teeth and consume the strength of the Tang State."
Zhou Ping said beside him:
"The two generals are right. I am powerless to save Chu. But if you persuade Tang to send troops, we can do a lot for Han."
Li Qing focused his attention on Su Lu.
Su Lu nodded:
"Okay, then Chen Bingtuojiang will make a gesture of saving Chu. I believe Gao Lan will understand whether to save Chu or let me, the Han Dynasty, save Chu."
"Send a message to the envoys of Chu, saying that our country of Han wants to send troops to rescue Chu, and we need to falsely go to the country of Tang, and ask them to help lobby the Tang court to allow our Han army to pass."
