Chapter 584 The Emperor's Attitude
After hearing what the minister said, Guan Chong couldn't help but sneer, and then said, "The military report, did n't you see it? Their several tentative attacks caused us to suffer heavy losses... Do you think that was a false report of military intelligence?"
After hearing what Guan Chong said, the man didn't waste any words and directly said to Guan Chong, "Prince Guan..."
After Guan Chong saw that person speak, he quickly said, "Don't call me Prince Guan... call me Lord Guan... I am not speaking of these things as a prince, I am speaking of these things as the Minister of War..."
"Master Guan, we all understand your feelings... However, how did the aliens from the southern border come here? In fact, there have been invasions in the southern border in the past. However, there has never been a large-scale attack... So, we think this matter is a bit inappropriate... If we send a large number of people over... By then, there will be no movement. Isn't it a waste of money and manpower?"
"It's a waste of money and manpower. Why do we keep soldiers here? Our relationship with the Great Zhou is the best it has been in hundreds of years... But we have stored most of our troops on the border of Xia and Zhou. Do you think this is necessary?"
"And General Shi over there has repeatedly said that, whether judging from their attack methods or the prisoners they have captured... they have the potential to launch a full-scale attack..."
Looking at Guan Chong arguing with reason.
Xie Xunfeng couldn't help but smile faintly as he looked at him. This Guan Chong has really matured.
If he had the same temper as before, someone would have argued with him like this.
He would have started scolding a long time ago, and would not have spoken nicely like he is now. And explained patiently...
"Lord Guan, you are right. It is true that we have a very good relationship with the Great Zhou... However, you have also seen the kind of relationship through which this relationship is maintained... Therefore, we must be on guard..." A minister on the side said to Xie Xunfeng.
Guan Chong was immediately displeased after hearing this. "Master Zhang, what do you mean by this? What? Do you have any evidence to show that the Great Zhou is going to harm us?"
A chubby man at the side said, "Of course it's better to take precautions before it happens? In my opinion, the threat from the Great Zhou is far greater than that alien in the southern border. Lord Liu is right. The danger in the southern border is actually imagined by the commanders... It didn't really happen. However, once we withdraw our troops... Once the Great Zhou sends troops, half of our country's territory will be lost... So, Lord Guan, you have to figure out... which one is more serious..."
“Well, if you don’t believe it... just go and see it... and after you see it, you will believe it. You people... have been living in comfort for too long... When you come to your senses, when the aliens from the southern border attack you, I’m afraid you won’t believe it..." Guan Chong said.
At this time, Xie Xunfeng was somewhat impressed by Guan Chong.
You know, this guy is usually very impatient...
Xie Xunfeng listened to these ministers, who were obviously talking nonsense, but he still patiently explained.
"Master Guan, you are talking nonsense. How can we possibly go and see it..."
"Yes, Lord Guan, I know you have a good relationship with the Great Zhou... but you have to know that in front of the country, there is no such thing as private relationship... It just so happens that Prince Xie is here today... I am not afraid to say it in front of Prince Xie..." A fat minister said, and bowed to Xie Xunfeng.
Then he said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. To be honest, you must think that we have been trying to sow discord between the two countries..."
Xie Xunfeng said with a smile, "Sir, you don't have to follow what I say... This matter actually has nothing to do with me. I don't care much about these things..."
Seeing Xie Xunfeng say this, the chubby man said, "If the king of the Great Zhou is you, Prince Xie, I have no objection to the army here going anywhere..."
"But, first of all, the army of the Great Zhou said that they were going to hold a joint military exercise. At first, because of your honor, Lord Xie, we naturally didn't even think about it... But after the joint military exercise, they simply stationed there..."
"Tell me, isn't it obvious that they have ill intentions? So, they have stockpiled so many troops on the border... Do you think this is appropriate? So, do you think we can transfer the troops away?"
After hearing what Xie Xunfeng said, he couldn't help but smile and said, "This is the military and political affairs of your two countries, and it is not convenient for me to get involved... No matter what you want to do, I will naturally support you..."
Xie Xunfeng's Tai Chi move made everyone a little dazed...
At this time, Xiao Shentian also slowly said, "Prince Guan, let's wait and see about the troop deployment... You should also contact the Southern Territory. If there is substantial evidence, we will definitely deploy troops there..."
After hearing what Xiao Shentian said, Guan Chong didn't say anything...
After all, it was obvious that the whole court refused to help Guan Chong finish his words because of the emperor's attitude...
Next, the affairs of state they discussed were all led by Xiao Shentian.
Obviously, during this period of time, Xiao Shentian has completed the full strength change very thoroughly.
After the morning court session was over, Xiao Shentian said to Xie Xunfeng, "Xiao Xie, hurry up... come here... tell me what you have been doing recently..."
After hearing what Xiao Shentian said, Xie Xunfeng nodded and followed Xiao Shentian to his bedroom.
Guan Chong naturally followed.
After arriving at Xiao Shentian's bedroom, Xiao Shentian said to Xie Xunfeng, "Xunfeng, seeing you come back alone... it's obvious that you didn't find Yi Ran... don't worry... I'm also helping you find someone..."
Xie Xunfeng said to Xiao Shentian, "Your Majesty, in fact, I have already found it..."
After listening to Xie Xunfeng's words, Xiao Shentian couldn't help but be stunned.
Then he said, "Found it? Where is she?"
Xie Xunfeng said to Xiao Shentian, "She doesn't want to live this kind of life anymore... She wants to change her way of life... So, she didn't come back..."
After listening to this, Xiao Shentian said to Xie Xunfeng with an expression of disbelief on his face, "Xunfeng, are you kidding me...Xiao Yiran likes you to the core, and you said she doesn't want to come back with you..."
