Chapter 1384

Huan sent envoys to ask Anguo for a proper county. Instead of giving it, his minister, Jiang Yi, criticized Huan. Huan's envoy couldn't bear to say, "is the alliance between Huan and an not as important as this county?"

His words made the Anguo minister's face changed, and Yueze's body inclined forward subconsciously.

Jiang Yi sneered and said, "if you tear up the Treaty of the two countries just because of the territory of one county, then you are too stingy. Now you use the Treaty of the two countries as an example, but you are threatening my king. If you don't separate out a county, the alliance between the two countries will stop here? Don't you think it's too much for you to say so? "

Hearing this, Yue Ze's face sank. It is naturally the best that an and Huan can ally. But if Huan thinks that he can bully Anguo at will, it will be a big mistake. Anguo can not be bullied by anyone.

"I'm a little tired," he said, "if Huan Shi has nothing else to discuss with him, let's go back to the guild hall and have a rest first."

"His highness of king an" listened to Yueze's order. The envoy of the state of Huan was in a great hurry and wanted to speak. Yueze turned his head away from him and stopped looking at him.

Seeing this, the ambassador of Huan looked ugly. He stared at Yue Ze for a long time. At last, he threw off his robe sleeve and turned away.

After the envoys of Huan left, people's whispering voices were heard immediately above the court.

The opinions of the ministers of Anguo were not unified. Most of them supported Jiang Yi and disagreed with the division of a county to Huanguo. However, there were still some ministers who thought that a county should be divided, and the representative was Sima Gu, the right prime minister.

A moment ago, there was an envoy of Huan state. Sima Gu could not express his views against Jiang Yi. Now that Huan envoy has gone, he has no worries.

Sima Gu stood up to Yueze and said, "king, compared with the alliance between anhuan and anhuan, the territory of a county is really insignificant. If the alliance between the two countries is damaged because of this, the gain is not worth the loss. I hope the king will think twice and do it!"

What he said was exactly what Yueze was worried about, otherwise he would have rejected the ambassador of Huan state on the spot.

As soon as Sima Gu's words fell, Jiang Yi immediately said, "the land of one county is insignificant compared with the agreement between the two countries. What about the two counties, three counties, four counties or even more counties? Today, if Huan state is forced to take the covenant as a threat, and our country will give it a county, then tomorrow, the state of Huan will use this as a threat. Our country will divide more counties, and people will not be able to swallow the image. Once Huan is made to think that our country is weak and easy to cheat, then the bitter consequences in the future will continue to flow and come one after another. "

After hearing this, Yueze's eyes suddenly widened and his body trembled. Yes, this matter is no longer a matter of dividing a county, but a question of who is in charge of the two states of anhuan. If not for Jiang Yi's reminding, he would have been confused.

Sima Gu did not think so. He waved his hand and said, "don't be alarmist. His highness, King Huan, is not greedy. What's more, the division of land is really unfair to Huan state. It's not to insult our country to ask for a county. That's what Huanguo should have."

before Sima Gu finished speaking, Jiang Yi's face turned red and pointed Under his feet, he roared: "prime minister Sima, please see clearly that this is the Anguo court, not the Huan state hall. You are the right Minister of Anguo, not the right Minister of Huan state. Who are you talking for now?"

Fengchang is in charge of etiquette and sacrifice, which is nominally divided into the ranks of civil servants and under the control of the right prime minister. In fact, the right prime minister is not able to manage the head of Fengchang, and Fengchang is generally directly responsible for the monarch. In addition, Jiang Yi is the most senior minister in the court, and Sima Gu, the right prime minister, is also his younger generation. Therefore, Jiang Yi has a certain posture of relying on the old and selling the old in the court of Anguo, and no one cares. Even to the right prime minister, he dares to contradict or even disrespect him.

Sima Gu's face turned red and white when he was reprimanded by Jiang Yi. However, Yue Ze agreed with Jiang Yi. Sima Gu sighed helplessly and said to Yueze, "please tell the great king who is more important. Don't let small things lose big things."

"Hum! If it was to cede a county in order to please Huan state, it would be short-sighted and lose a lot because of small things. " Jiang Yi sneered.

Yueze slowly nodded as he pondered. He felt that Jiang Yi's words were reasonable.

He pondered for a moment, then Fang 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 Huanguo, I will discuss it later. I have to think about it carefully."

"No need to talk about it. Let's do it first." Yue Ze waved his hand, then stood up and said, "retreat from the court!"

At this time, Jiang Yi arched his hand and said, "king, I have one more thing to tell you."

"If you have anything to say, please speak." Yueze was also very polite to the minister with the oldest qualifications in the imperial court. When he inherited the throne of Anguo, the ceremony was presided over by Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi said with a smile: "king, not long ago, the jade found in Chizhou county has been made into jade horses, and has been transported to the capital. Is the king going to have a look?"

Yue Ze's eyes lit up and asked with a smile, "how fast has Jiang Aiqing seen it?"

"Yes, my king, the jade horse is more than one person tall. It is the same size as the real horse. It is crystal clear and magnificent. It is now placed in the temple of sacrifice.""You can go. I have to see it with my own eyes." Yueze laughed and said to the left and right: "Chizhou county is really a treasure land. Can you make jade of the size of a real horse? Have you ever seen it? Ha ha "

between the words, Yueze is full of pride.

Seeing this, Sima Gu slowly lowered his head. Now that Jiang Yi said this, it was undoubtedly worse. I'm afraid the king would not give up Chizhou or Gu Rao.

Accompanied by Yueze to the temple for a visit, after enjoying the jade horse, Jiang Yicai returned to his residence. In his study, a man had been waiting for a long time. Zhou ye, the Minister of the Fengguo state, was the imperial historian.

Seeing Jiang Yi coming in from the outside, Zhou Ye immediately stood up, bowed his hands and asked, "is old Jiang going well in the court?"

Jiang Yi looked up and burst into laughter. Instead of speaking immediately, he slowly cleaned his hands and wiped his face. When people went out, he said, "the king has rejected the ambassador of Huan."

Oops! When Zhou Ye mentioned that the heart in his throat finally fell back to his stomach, he said with a smile: "it must be the help of old Chiang that his highness Wang an refused Huan Shi!"

"I don't deserve it." Jiang Yi waved his hand and said, "but I've been an official for decades. Even if the king is an old man, I'll listen to my words."

"Yes, yes, yes! No one can compare him with him. " Zhou Ye nodded with a smile. At the same time, he took out a long brocade box from the cuff and handed it to Jiang Yi respectfully. He said with a smile, "Mr. Jiang, this is a bit of the king's wish."

"Oh?" Jiang Yi quietly took the brocade box and opened it. There was a flash of light, which made people feel dazzling. When he slowed down for a while, he looked at it again. It turned out that there were four night pearls in the brocade box side by side.

The night pearl itself is very precious, and what is more valuable is that the four night pearls are the same size, and they are the same crystal clear, without any impurities. Obviously, the four beads are a set, which undoubtedly makes its value doubled.

Jiang Yi was a man of discerning goods. He knew at a glance that it was a valuable treasure, much more precious than the gold and silver that Zhou ye had given him earlier. Jiang Yi's old eyes were fixed on the four night pearls. It took a long time for Jiang Yi to recover from his shock. His hands holding the brocade box all jerked and trembled. He stammered: "this is too precious. I really dare not." he wanted to say that he did not dare to accept it. However, he still held the brocade box with both hands for fear of being taken away.

Zhou Ye laughs in his heart. The king is right. He is not afraid of the other party's greed for money, but is afraid that the other party will not be greedy for money, so that his side will not catch the weak spot.

He patted down the brocade box and whispered, "this time, Mr. Jiang has helped our country. It is also proper for our country to express our gratitude. Please take it with ease."

Jiang Yi, after all, is a man who has seen the world, and soon recovered from shock. He put the brocade box on the table beside him as if nothing had happened. Then he said in a positive tone: "Mr. Zhou is wrong. This time, I'm not helping you Fengguo, but sincerely thinking for our country. I don't want to hand over the land that belongs to the country to other countries."

"Yes, yes, yes! In his later life, he admired his loyalty to the monarch and his country. " After a pause, Zhou Ye bowed his hand and said, "Mr. Jiang, I don't want to disturb you in my later life. I'd like to leave first. I hope you can help me a lot. Let's make a good alliance between our two countries in peace and prosperity in the world."

"Yes Jiang Yi nodded and said, "if it is good for the alliance between the two countries, I will help you. Mr. Zhou walks slowly. I can't go out to see him off. "

"Oh, Mr. Jiang, you are very kind! Farewell to my late life Zhou Ye saluted again, and then turned away.

After he left, Jiang Yi picked up the brocade box again and enjoyed it carefully. At the same time, he also showed a smile on his face. Today, he not only flattered Fengguo, but also protected Anguo. He also got a treasure. It was killing three birds with one stone!

I don't know whether Jiang Yi is confused or pretending to be confused. His killing three birds with one stone can break the alliance relationship between anhuan and Anhua, and it also lays an endless disaster for the two countries.

Li Xin is not a gentleman, but he will not bully his allies. However, Li Xin is angry and disheartened because of his unremitting efforts in Anguo this time. What's more, he can't explain to the court inside and outside.

In order to destroy Mo, the state of Huan sent hundreds of thousands of troops, spent a lot of money and food, but got nothing. How could the people and ministers be reconciled? In order to pacify domestic discontent, Li Xin can only maintain a tough attitude towards the outside world.
