Chapter 481 Summation
Chapter 481 Summation
Not only him, but several more intelligent ministers in the court also quickly pointed out this problem.
When it comes to kings, Emperor Daqian is obviously better than Emperor Shang now.
When it comes to ministers, they are also relatively self-aware. Lin Xiaofan and Jianfeng alone are not comparable to them.
As for the army's combat power, Daqian's Qingzhou Army alone could kill them to pieces.
Talking about national strength, now that Daqian has conquered all the surrounding countries, there will be no war in a short time, and national strength will definitely recover quickly. Their great merchants also have to deal with enemy countries in the northwest, so it would be good if their national strength does not decline.
If this momentum continues, it will take less than a year for Dashang to attack again with an army, and it will be almost impossible for them to hold on.
"My dear friends, do you have any good ideas?"
The Great Shang Emperor thought for a long time, but could not think of any good countermeasures, so he asked many ministers for their opinions.
The ministers who were still discussing loudly fell silent when they heard this.
The gap in strength is so obvious, what countermeasures can be taken?
"What, you're all mute?"
Seeing that no one spoke for a long time, the Great Shang Emperor raised his eyebrows and asked.
After a long time, the prime minister of Dashang stood up, his tone full of hesitation:
"Your Majesty, it seems to me that today's big businessmen need cultivation most."
"Correct."
The Great Shang Emperor nodded without any doubt. Dashang has been at war for years, and the situation in the country is too bad now. It would be best if he could cultivate himself.
"So, if we can't fight, it's best not to fight. But the problem is, if this momentum continues, Daqian will definitely not do what we want. I believe that in a few years, Daqian will definitely come to attack us."
The Prime Minister continued.
"That's right, go on."
The Great Shang Emperor thought for a moment and nodded slightly.
"So, Wei Chen suggested... to seek peace."
"puff!"
The Shang Emperor just took a sip of tea and spat it out instantly.
After talking for a long time, I thought I had some good ideas, but it turned out to be... seeking peace?
"What are you talking about? What are you talking about! How can I, the Great Shang, seek peace with the Great Qian? Pull him down and kill him!"'
A fire of ignorance arose in the heart of the Great Shang Emperor.
"emperor!"
The Prime Minister of Great Shang had expected that the reaction of the Great Shang Emperor would be greater. It was also because of this that he thought about it for a long time before he offered to surrender in a roundabout way.
"Your Majesty, think twice, Your Majesty, think twice!"
The surrounding ministers hurriedly gathered around, asking for mercy whether they were compatible with the Great Shang Cheng or not.
"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister also considers the great merchants."
"Your Majesty, you must not do it! The Prime Minister has been in office for decades and has worked day and night for the great merchants. How can he be beheaded at the drop of a hat?"
After everyone persuaded them for a long time, the Great Shang Emperor waved his hand.
"Forget it this time, dear friends, do you have any good strategies to deal with the enemy?"
he asked next.
If Daqian is not solved, he will have trouble sleeping and eating in the future.
After the words fell, the entire court fell into silence again. All the ministers returned to their respective positions, lowering their heads and saying nothing.
"What's going on? Everyone is mute by now?"
Seeing that no one spoke for a long time, the Great Shang Emperor frowned and asked.
Seeing that the Great Shang Emperor was on the verge of getting angry, the Taiwei and the imperial censor looked at each other, and finally the Taiwei took a step forward.
"Your Majesty, I suggest that we should avoid being aggressive, pretend to be suing for peace first, and send some tributes to Da Qian. In this way, Da Qian will destroy Daliang first. By then, we will definitely lose some troops, and we can seek stability. If If the situation is good, there may be a chance to counterattack. "
The imperial censor also hurriedly said:
"Yes, Your Majesty, Daliang and we have been at war anyway. Although we are allies now, this relationship may break down at any time."
After hearing this, the Great Shang Emperor took a deep breath and said:
"Do you still want me to go and seek peace with Da Gan?"
"Your Majesty, this is not asking for peace, this is pretending to be asking for peace."
Seeing that the Great Shang Emperor was about to explode, the Taiwei said with an apologetic smile on his face.
"Your Majesty, I also have this intention."
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen thinks what the Lieutenant said makes sense."
"Your Majesty, let's endure it for a while, wait until the time is right, and then snatch it back with profit!"
"Your Majesty, let's calm down first."
Many ministers spoke out to make suggestions.
Seeing this, the Great Shang Emperor thought for a long time and then said:
"Since you insist on this, then do as you say."
When things got to this point, he really couldn't think of any good solution. Moreover, none of the ministers below have the intention to fight. If he still insists on fighting, he will definitely not be able to win.
But he was still a little unwilling in his heart. After fighting with Da Gan for so long, he had now reached the point of asking for peace.
Why, Da Qian has so many capable ministers like Jian Feng, Jian Bai, and Lin Xiaofan, but his D Shang doesn't have any useful ministers.
Is it possible that the Great Shang Emperor is worse than the Great Qian Emperor?
Why is Da Gan so lucky!
"By the way, those agents deployed in Qingzhou County haven't started taking action yet, right?"
The Great Shang Emperor suddenly thought of this problem and looked at the Taiwei who was in charge of this matter.
The lieutenant who had already breathed a sigh of relief suddenly felt his heart in his throat again when he heard this.
yes! How could I have forgotten this!
"This...has already been taken action."
"What! Then you asked me to send someone to sue for peace. Isn't this pushing the great merchant into the fire? Come on, pull him down..."
The Great Shang Emperor kicked the desk in front of him away, his face turning red with anger.
This group of people under his command really succeeds more than fails.
"Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty, please calm down!"
The lieutenant immediately fell to his knees on the ground, his mind was racing, and he said:
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, no one in Daqian Kingdom knows about this matter. At that time, the conflict between Lin Xiaofan and the Chen family of Daqian was intensifying, so I sent our spies to pretend to be members of the Chen family and poison Lin Xiaofan's daughter to make trouble."
"The matter was successful. None of our people were caught. Moreover, Lin Xiaofan directly destroyed the Chen family. I think he believed it. In short, the emperor can rest assured that it will never affect the peace process."
The Taiwei spoke hurriedly and made up all the information.
Now the Great Shang Emperor is on the verge of an explosion. No matter what he says is true or false, let's fool him first.
As for the future, when the Great Shang Emperor's anger has subsided, he will not be killed if he mentions it again.
"You'd better wipe your ass! If suing for peace doesn't work out because of this, come to us with your head up."
The Great Shang Emperor snorted coldly and sat back on the dragon throne.
"By the way, I'll leave it to you to sue for peace. If you do it well, I will reward you greatly."
"Yes, your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely handle things beautifully."
The Taiwei hurriedly responded, feeling very happy. Leave this matter to him. Even if Lin Xiaofan discovers what one of his people did, there is still some room for change.
