Chapter 497 Huan sent envoys to ask An Guo for a county that he deserved, but An Guo not only did not give it, but its minister Jiang Yi also said that Huan Guo was defeated, and the Huan State envoy couldn't bear it, and said angrily: "Is the alliance between Huan and An not as important as this county?"
His words made the faces of the ministers of Anguo who were present also change, and Yue Ze's body also subconsciously leaned forward.
Jiang Yi sneered and said, "If your country tears up the alliance between the two countries just because of a county, then your Huan country is too stingy."
Now you are talking about the alliance between the two countries, but you are threatening the king of my family, if you don't divide a county, the alliance between the two countries will end here, don't you think it's too much for you to say this?"
When Yue Ze heard this, his face sank.
It is naturally best for An Huan and Huan to ally the two countries, but if Huan Guo thinks that he can bully An Guo at will, it is a big mistake, and An Guo is not something that anyone can bully.
He said: "This king is a little tired, if the envoy has nothing else to discuss, go back to the hotel to rest first."
"His Royal Highness King An" Hearing that Yue Ze began to give an order to expel guests, the envoy of Huan was in a hurry, and he wanted to speak, but Yue Ze had turned his head away and no longer looked at him.
Seeing this, the envoy of Huan Guo had an ugly face, stared at Yue Ze for a long time, and finally shook the sleeves of his robe fiercely, turned around and left in a bad mood.
After the envoys of Huan Guo left, the sound of people's heads and ears immediately sounded in the court.
The opinions of the ministers of Anguo are not unified, most people support Jiang Yi and do not agree with the division of a county to Huan Guo, but there are still some ministers who think that a county should be divided, and the representative of them is Sima Gu, the right minister.
There was an envoy from Huan State just now, and Sima Gu was not good at expressing his disagreement with Jiang Yi, but now that the envoy Huan had left, he had no worries.
Sima Gu stood up and bowed his hand to Yue Ze and said: "King, compared to the alliance between the two countries, the land of a county is really insignificant, if it damages the alliance between the two countries because of this matter, it will really outweigh the losses, and I hope the king will think twice."
What he said was exactly what Yue Ze was worried about, otherwise he would have refused the envoy of Huan Guo on the spot.
As soon as Sima Gu's voice fell, Jiang Yi immediately answered: "The land of one county is insignificant compared to the covenant between the two countries, what about the two counties, three counties, four counties or even more counties Today, if Huan Guo is allowed to use the covenant as a threat, and my country divides a county to it, then tomorrow, Huan State will also use this as a threat, my country will divide more counties, and the people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, once Huan Guo thinks that my country is weak and easy to bully, then the bitter fruits in the future will continue to come."
Yue Ze's eyes suddenly widened after hearing this, and his body trembled, yes, this matter is no longer a question of whether to divide a county, but a question of who is the master and who is the second in the two kingdoms of An Huan, if it weren't for Jiang Yi's reminder, I'm afraid I would really be confused.
Sima Gu disagreed, he waved his hand and said: "Lord Jiang, don't be alarmist, His Royal Highness King Huan is not an insatiable person, not to mention that this division of land is indeed unfair to Huanguo, Huanguo asked for a county from our country, it is not to bully our country, that is what Huan Guo deserves."
Without waiting for Sima Gu to finish speaking, Jiang Yi's face turned red with anger, pointed to his feet, and roared loudly: "Prime Minister Sima, please see clearly, this is the Anguo court, not the Huanguo court, you are the right minister of my Anguo, not the right minister of its Huanguo, who are you talking for now?"
Fengchang is in charge of ceremonies and sacrifices, nominally divided into the ranks of civil officials, under the control of the right minister, in fact, the right minister is really not very able to control the head of Fengchang, Fengchang is generally directly responsible to the monarch.
In addition, Jiang Yi is the oldest veteran minister in the court, and in general, the right minister Sima Gu is also his junior, so Jiang Yi has a bit of a posture of relying on the old and selling the old in the Anguo court, and no one takes it seriously, even if he is against the right minister, he dares to contradict it, or even speak disrespectfully.
Sima Gu's face was red and white when he was reprimanded by Jiang Yi, but Yue Ze agreed with Jiang Yi's words, Sima Gu sighed helplessly, and said to Yue Ze: "Please be sure to distinguish between the important and the important, and don't lose the big because of the small."
"Hmph, if it is to cede a county of land in order to curry favor with Huan State, then it is short-sighted, and it is a big loss because of a small one" Jiang Yi sneered beside him.
Yue Ze nodded slowly while pondering, feeling that what Jiang Yi said was reasonable.
He pondered for a while, then Fang raised his head and said to Sima Gu: "Prime Minister, this king feels that what Jiang Aiqing said is not unreasonable, as for the matter of ceding a county to Huan State, let's discuss it later, this king has to think about it carefully." ” "The King" "Needless to say, 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, Weichen still has something to do." ” "Jiang Aiqing has something to say, please speak."
For the oldest minister in the court, Yue Ze was also very polite, and when he inherited the throne of An, his ceremony was presided over by Jiang Yilai.
Jiang Yi said with a smile: "King, the jade found in Chizhou County not long ago has been made into a jade horse, and it has now been transported to the capital, does the king want to take a look?"
Yue Ze's eyes lit up suddenly, and he asked with a smile: "Jiang Aiqing has seen it so soon."
"Yes, the king, the jade horse is more than one person tall, the same size as the real horse, the whole body is crystal clear, very magnificent, and it is now placed in the sacrificial temple."
"You have to go, this king has to see with his own eyes."
Yue Ze laughed and said to the left and right: "Chizhou County is really a treasure land, it can be made into jade the size of a real horse, have you ever seen it haha" Between the words, Yue Ze was full of pride.
Seeing this, Sima Gu slowly lowered his head, now that Jiang Yi said this, it would undoubtedly make matters worse, and the king was probably even more reluctant to give up Chizhou or Gurao.
Accompanied Yue Ze to the sacrificial temple for a trip, and after admiring the jade horse, Jiang Yi returned to his mansion.
In his study, there was already a person who had been waiting for a long time, the minister of the Wind Country, Zhou Ye in the imperial history.
Seeing Jiang Yi coming in from outside, Zhou Ye immediately stood up, bowed his hand, and asked at the same time, "Jiang Lao is still going well in the court." ” Jiang Yi laughed on his back, did not speak immediately, but first cleaned his hands slowly, wiped his face, and waited for everyone to go out, then said: "The king has rejected the envoy of Huan State. ” Oh, Zhou Ye mentioned that the heart in his throat finally fell back into his stomach, and he said with a smile: "It must be the help of Jiang Lao that His Royal Highness King An rejected the envoy."
"I don't dare to do that."
Jiang Yi waved his hand and said: "But the old man has been an official for decades, even if the king is also watched by the old man, the old man will still listen to one or two." ” "Yes, yes, it is Jiang Lao who is highly respected in Anguo, and no one can compare with Jiang Lao."
Zhou Ye smiled and nodded, and at the same time, he took out a long brocade box from his cuffs, respectfully handed it to Jiang Yi, and said with a smile: "Old Jiang, this is a little bit of the heart of the king of my family." ” "Oh" Jiang Yi quietly took the brocade box, opened it, and suddenly a fine light shot out, which made people feel dazzling, and when he slowed down for a while, he looked at it again, and it turned out that there were four night pearls placed side by side in the brocade box.
The night pearl itself is very precious, and what is even more commendable is that these four night pearls are the same size, and they are the same crystal clear, without the slightest impurity, obviously the four pearls are a set, which undoubtedly makes its value even more doubled.
Jiang Yike is a knowledgeable person, and at a glance, he knows that this is a priceless treasure, much more precious than the gold and silver that Zhou Ye gave him before.
Jiang Yi's old eyes stared intently at the four night pearls, and it took a long time to recover from the shock, and the hand holding the brocade box trembled suddenly, and he stammered a little: "This is too precious, the old man really doesn't dare" He wanted to say that he didn't dare to accept it, but he still held the brocade box with both hands, as if he was afraid of being taken away.
Zhou Ye smiled secretly in his heart, the king was right, he was not afraid that the other party would be greedy for money, but he was afraid that the other party would not be greedy for money, so that he would not be able to grasp the weakness.
He gently patted the brocade box and said in a low voice: "This time Jiang Lao has helped my country, and my country should express its gratitude, Jiang Lao, please accept it with peace of mind."
After all, Jiang Yi is a person who has seen the world, and he quickly returned to normal from the shock, he casually put the brocade box on the table on the side, and then said: "Mr.
Zhou is wrong, this time the old man is not helping you Fengguo, but sincerely thinking about my Anguo, and I don't want to give up the land that belongs to Anguo to other countries." ” "Yes, yes, it is what Jiang Lao said is very true, and he admires Jiang Lao's loyalty to the monarch and the country in his later life."
After a pause, Zhou Ye arched his hand and said: "Elder Jiang, I won't bother much in my later life, I will leave first, there may be something to ask for in the future, and then I hope that Elder Jiang can help me a lot, so that my two countries can always form an alliance and prosper forever." ” "En" Jiang Yi nodded and said: "If it is conducive to the alliance between the two countries, the old man will naturally help him."

Mr.
Zhou walked slowly, and it was inconvenient for the old man to go out to send him away. ” "Oh, Jiang Lao is polite, polite and late goodbye" Zhou Ye saluted again, and then turned to leave.
After he left, Jiang Yi picked up the brocade box again, carefully admired and played with it, and at the same time showed a smile on his face, today's matter, he flattered Fengguo, protected Anguo, and got a treasure, it is really a triple win I don't know if Jiang Yilao is confused or pretending to be confused, his three wins can break the alliance between An Huan and the two countries, and also lay endless banes for the two countries.
Li Xin is not a gentleman, but he will not bully his allies, but this time Anguo's inconsistency made Li Xin angry and discouraged, and the most critical point is that he can't explain to the court and outside.
In order to destroy Mo, Huan sent hundreds of thousands of troops, spent huge sums of money and grain and grass, but got nothing, how could the people and ministers be willing to calm the domestic discontent, Li Xin could only maintain a tough attitude towards the outside world
