Chapter 497

Huan Guo sent an envoy to ask for the land he deserved from An Guo. Not only did An Guo not give it to him, but his minister Jiang Yi also criticized Huan Guo. The Huan Guo envoy couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily: "Is it possible that the alliance between Huan and An will not end? Isn’t it as important as this county?”

His words caused the expressions of Minister Anguo present to change, and Yue Ze's body subconsciously leaned forward.

Jiang Yi sneered and said: "If your country tears up the alliance between the two countries just because of the land of one county, then your country Huan is too stingy. Now you use the alliance between the two countries to talk about things, but you are threatening my king. If If we don't separate a county, the alliance between the two countries will end here? Don't you think it's too outrageous to say this?"

When Yue Ze heard this, his face darkened. It would be best if An and Huan could form an alliance, but if Huan thought that he could bully Anguo at will, that would be a big mistake. Anguo could not be bullied by anyone.

He said seriously: "I am a little tired. If envoy Huan has nothing else to discuss, please go back to the hotel to rest!"

"His Royal Highness Prince An..." After hearing Yue Ze's order to expel the guests, the envoy of Huan State became anxious and wanted to speak, but Yue Ze turned his head away and no longer looked at him.

Seeing this, the Huan envoy looked ugly and stared at Yue Ze for a long time. Finally, he shook his sleeves fiercely, turned around and left in anger.

After the envoys of Huan Guo left, people were whispering in the court room.

The opinions of the ministers of Anguo were not unified. Most of them supported Jiang Yi and did not agree to separate a county to Huan State. However, some ministers believed that a county should be separated. The representative of them was Sima Gu, the right prime minister.

There was an envoy from the state of Huan just now, and it was difficult for Sima Gu to express his disagreement with Jiang Yi. Now that the envoy from the state of Huan has left, he has no worries anymore.

Sima Gu stood up and handed over to Yue Ze and said: "Your Majesty, compared with the alliance between An and Huan, the land of one county is really insignificant. If this matter damages the alliance between the two countries, it will really outweigh the gains. I hope your Majesty Think twice before you act!”

What he said was exactly what Yue Ze was worried about, otherwise he would have rejected the Huan envoy on the spot.

As soon as Sima Gu finished speaking, Jiang Yi immediately answered: "The land of one county is insignificant compared to the covenant between the two countries. What about two counties, three counties, four counties or even more counties? Today, if If Huan Guo threatens us with an alliance and our country allocates a county to it, then tomorrow, Huan Guo will use this as a threat and our country will allocate more counties. People will be dissatisfied. Once Huan Guo is made to think that our country is weak, it will be better If you cheat, the consequences will be endless in the future!"

After hearing this, Yue Ze's eyes suddenly widened and his body trembled. Yes, this matter is no longer a question of whether to separate a county, but a question of who is in charge of Anhuan and who is second. If Jiang Yi hadn't reminded him, I might have become confused.

Sima Gu disagreed. He waved his hand and said, "Master Jiang, don't be alarmist. Your Highness King Huan is not a greedy person. What's more, this land division is indeed unfair to Huan Guo. Huan Guo wants a county from our country. It is not an insult to our country, that is what Huan Guo deserves..."

Before Sima Gu could finish speaking, Jiang Yi turned red with anger, pointed at his feet, and roared loudly: "Prime Minister Sima, please see clearly, this is the Anguo court, not the Huanguo court, you are my Anguo The right minister of the country, not the right minister of Huan Guo, who are you talking about now? "

Feng Chang is in charge of etiquette and sacrifices. In name, he is classified in the ranks of civil servants and is under the control of the right prime minister. In fact, the right prime minister is really not able to take charge of Feng Chang. Feng Chang is generally directly responsible to the monarch. In addition, Jiang Yi is the oldest minister in the court. Counting that, Sima Gu, the right minister, is also his descendant. Therefore, Jiang Yi is quite dependent on his elders in the Anguo court. No one takes him seriously, even the right minister. , and dare to contradict or even be disrespectful.

Sima Gu's face turned red and white after being scolded by Jiang Yi, but Yue Ze agreed with Jiang Yi's words. Sima Gu sighed helplessly, raised his hands to Yue Ze and said: "Please make sure to distinguish the light from the heavy. Don’t let the small lose the big!”

"Hmph! If you cede the land of a county just to please Huan Guo, that would be short-sighted, and you are losing a lot for a small amount!" Jiang Yi sneered from the side.

Yue Ze pondered and nodded slowly, feeling that what Jiang Yi said was reasonable.

He pondered for another moment, then raised his head and said to Sima Gu: "Prime Minister, I think what Jiang Aiqing said is not unreasonable. As for the matter of ceding a county to Huan State, we will discuss it later. I have to consider it carefully. ”

"Your Majesty..."

"No need to say more, let's do this for now!" Yue Ze waved his hand and said, "Retreat from the court!"

At this time, Jiang Yi cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"If you have anything to say, Jiang Aiqing, please speak." Yueze was also very polite to the oldest minister in the court. When he inherited the throne of King An, the ceremony was presided over by Jiang Yilai.

Jiang Yi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the jade discovered in Chizhou County not long ago has been made into a jade horse and has been transported to the capital. Do you want to take a look, Your Majesty?"

Yue Ze's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked with a smile: "It's so fast...has Jiang Aiqing seen it?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the jade horse is as tall as a person, the same size as a real horse, its body is crystal clear, it is very spectacular, and it is now placed in the sacrificial temple."

"You can go, I have to see it with my own eyes." Yue Ze laughed and said to the left and right: "Chizhou County is really a treasure land. It can make jade as big as a real horse. Have you ever seen it? ?Ha ha--"

As he spoke, Yueze was filled with pride.

Seeing this, Sima Gu slowly lowered his head. Now that Jiang Yi has spoken out about this, it will undoubtedly add insult to injury. The king may be even more reluctant to give up Chizhou or Gurao.

After accompanying Yue Ze to the sacrificial temple and admiring the jade horse, Jiang Yi returned to his residence. In his room, there was a person who had been waiting for a long time. The minister of Feng Kingdom, the censor Zhongcheng Zhou Ye.

Seeing Jiang Yi come in from the outside, Zhou Ye immediately stood up, bowed his hands and saluted, and asked at the same time: "Is Mr. Jiang going well in the court?"

Jiang Yi looked up and burst out laughing. He didn't say anything. Instead, he slowly cleaned his hands and wiped his face. After everyone had gone out, he said, "The king has rejected Huan Guo's envoy."

oops! Zhou Ye mentioned that the heart in his throat finally fell back into his stomach, and he said with a smile: "It must be Mr. Jiang's great help that made His Royal Highness Prince An reject Envoy Huan!"

"I don't dare to take this seriously." Jiang Yi waved his hand and said, "But I have been an official for decades, and even if the king grew up under my watch, the king will still listen to my words."

"Yes, yes, yes! Mr. Jiang is highly respected in Anguo. No one can compare with Mr. Jiang." Zhou Ye smiled and nodded repeatedly. At the same time, he took out a long brocade box from his sleeve and said respectfully He handed the land to Jiang Yi and said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang, this is a little bit of my king's wishes."

"Oh?" Jiang Yi calmly took the brocade box and opened it. Suddenly, light shot out, which made people feel blinding. After he calmed down for a while, he looked at it again. It turned out that there were four stars placed side by side in the brocade box. Night Pearl.

The luminous pearls themselves are very precious, and what is even more valuable is that these four luminous pearls are the same size, and the same crystal clear, without any impurities. It is obvious that the four beads are a set, which undoubtedly doubles their value.

Jiang Yi is a person who knows things well. He knew at a glance that this was a priceless treasure, much more valuable than the gold and silver that Zhou Ye had given him previously. Jiang Yi stared at the four luminous pearls intently, and it took him a long time to recover from the shock. The hand holding the brocade box was shaking suddenly, and he stuttered: "This... this is too precious, I really I don't dare..." He wanted to say that he didn't dare to take it away, but he still held on to the brocade box with both hands, as if he was afraid of being taken away.

Zhou Ye secretly smiled in his heart. The king was absolutely right. He was not afraid that the other party would be greedy for money, but that he would be afraid that the other party would not be greedy for money so that he would not be able to catch his weak point.

He patted the brocade box gently and whispered: "Mr. Jiang has helped our country this time. It is appropriate for our country to express its gratitude. Mr. Jiang, please accept it with peace of mind!"

After all, Jiang Yi is a man who has seen the world, and he quickly recovered from the shock. He put the brocade box on the table aside as if nothing had happened, and then said seriously: "Mr. Zhou is wrong, this time I am not helping you Feng Feng." country, but sincerely think about our Anguo, and do not want to hand over the land that belongs to Anguo to other countries. "

"Yes, yes, yes! What Mr. Jiang said is absolutely true. Wan Sheng also admires Mr. Jiang's loyalty to the emperor and protects the country." After a pause, Zhou Ye cupped his hands and said: "Mr. Jiang, I won't disturb Wan Sheng anymore. I'll take my leave first. , we may need help from each other in the future, and I hope Mr. Jiang can help me a lot, so that our two countries, Feng'an and An'an, can have a good alliance and prosper forever. "

"Yes!" Jiang Yi nodded and said: "I will naturally help you if you do something that is conducive to the alliance between the two countries. Mr. Zhou walks slowly, and it is inconvenient for me to go far to see you off."

"Oh, Mr. Jiang is so polite, so polite! Say goodbye to me later!" Zhou Ye saluted again, then turned and left.

After he left, Jiang Yi picked up the brocade box again, carefully admired it, and at the same time a smile appeared on his face. What happened today was that he had not only curried favor with Feng Guo, but also protected An Guo, and got a treasure. It was really killing three birds with one stone. Come on!

I don't know if Jiang Yi was confused or pretending to be confused. His three-fold success could break the alliance between Anhuan and Anhuan and lay endless seeds of trouble for the two countries.

Li Xin was not a gentleman, but he would not bully his allies. However, Anguo's unrestrained behavior made Li Xin angry and discouraged. The most important point was that he was unable to explain to the court or outside the court.

In order to destroy Mo, Huan Guo sent hundreds of thousands of troops and spent huge sums of money and food. In the end, he got nothing. How could the people and ministers be willing to do so? In order to calm domestic dissatisfaction, Li Xin could only maintain a tough attitude towards the outside world.
