Chapter 282 Retreat or push forward This is a problem

Chapter 282 Concession or advance? This is a problem

In the ten-mile station on the outskirts of Chendu, the officials in the mission were talking about it.

There are two factions of opinion, one faction advocates never backing down: “Although the Black Armored Army is just accompanying guards, it also represents the prestige and face of our country, and must not back down at this time!”

Someone nodded in agreement: “That’s right, His Majesty sent a thousand black armored troops to promote the national prestige. If it turns out that you can’t even enter the capital of the Chen Kingdom, what kind of national prestige is there? We are not here as an envoy, but to make trouble joke!”

It was the second youngest official in the envoy besides Cheng Ling who was filled with righteous indignation.

This person was born in the He family, yes, it is the He family of He Han.

In this year’s Chunwei Jinshi Examination, He Yanqing achieved a medium grade in the second class. Although this ranking is not excellent, it is also very good.

At least he is an orthodox Jinshi, and he has the most orthodox sign in the officialdom of Wei State today.

Cheng Ling did not have a Jinshi background, which is why she has been criticized for a long time.

After He Yan obtained a Jinshi degree in the early Qing Dynasty, he was left in the Third Division of Wei Jing and became a junior official from the seventh rank. He has not been released, so he lacks some convenient ways that are easier to achieve results.

Entering the envoys this time, in the eyes of outsiders, He Yanqing came to be gilded. But in Cheng Ling’s view, going on a mission is risky. Even if the subordinate officials in the mission are not as eye-catching as Cheng Ling, they still have to bear certain risks.

Therefore, this He Yanqing should also be an ambitious person, otherwise, with the backing of the He family, he wouldn’t have to do such a dangerous job at all.

Officials like He Yanqing are people that Cheng Ling is willing to make friends with, and can also make friends with.

At this time, the opposing faction in the mission spoke up: “Everyone, it’s not that I want to amplify the aspirations of others and destroy my own prestige, but that aspirations also depend on the actual situation. We brought a thousand black armored troops, but the thousand black armors Army, can you penetrate the capital of Chen State?”

Those who advocate seeking stability are mainly relatively older officials.

For example, Zou Wei, the deputy envoy of the mission, was originally the prime minister of Honglu Temple, his official position was one level lower than Cheng Ling’s, but his age was thirty years older than Cheng Ling’s, and he is now in his forties, close to knowing his destiny .

In this day and age, the forty-five-year-old Zou Wei can be regarded as an old man.

There are also a few people who agree with him, and their views are similar to Zou Wei: “Exactly, if the court of Chen Guo does not allow our black armored army to enter the city, we can’t force it in, right? It’s good if we can break in.” If you can’t break in, wouldn’t that be a loss of face?”

Not to mention the loss of face, if a fight really happened, you would have to lose your life!

However, this kind of words is suspected of being greedy for life and fear of death, so this person only talks about face, but does not mention safety.

Others said: “Cheng Shaoqing, our purpose of this mission is to appease Chen Guo so that he will not participate in the war between our country and Qi country. Since this is the case, we should act on the safe side, so as not to cause violent conflicts.” .”

“That’s right. In fact, it doesn’t matter if the Black Armored Army enters the city or not. Now that we have arrived in Chendu, we might as well be generous and take the initiative to keep the Black Armored Army outside the city to show our sincerity. It also prevents Chen Guo from speaking out to drive them away. When it is, it is not beautiful.”

Still the same sentence, if you are expelled: Shame on you!

Shame, everyone wants face, and I can’t afford to shame that person.

Another person said: “It has been a rule since ancient times that the two countries do not cut each other! As long as we follow the rules, can Chen Guo guarantee our safety? But if he insists on bringing the Black Armored Army into the city, then what will happen?” The consequences are unpredictable!”

A sentence, a sound, can also be called earnest.

From this point of view, it seems that no one is deliberately against Cheng Ling, everyone just has different opinions and expresses their own opinions.

Cheng Ling sat in the first place and listened quietly. After everyone had finished speaking, he said, “I would like to ask you all, the rumors circulating in Chen Guo are about the absurd, fatuous, cowardly and fawning words of Mr. Chen Guo… What do you think?”

Well, remembering the rumors relayed by Yang Lin earlier, the officials of the mission present could not help but blush for Emperor Chen.

He Yanqing said disdainfully: “It’s not a day or two for Emperor Chen to be stupid. He just relied on the shadow of his ancestors to enjoy his current status. Cheng Shaoqing, I think that Emperor Chen is greedy for pleasure and would never be willing to start a war lightly. There is a saying that the enemy is weak and we are strong, the more so, the less we can back down!”

Zou Wei frowned and said, “My lord, don’t you understand the principle that arrogant soldiers are bound to be defeated? Although the Emperor Chen is fatuous, there are not no capable ministers in the Chen Kingdom. When you are envoys to other countries, you must not act recklessly, otherwise It made Chen Guo **** and rebellious, can you take responsibility?”

Come on, the two factions are arguing again, and this is endless.

Cheng Ling was still not in a hurry, and calmly waited for their quarrel.

After another half-a-quarter of an hour, Cheng Ling, the “referee”, finally officially entered the court when the two sides couldn’t think of new words after tossing and turning.

Cheng Lingdao: “Everyone, have you ever thought about why, as the king of the country, Chen Guozhu can spread rumors about him? The majesty of the king has been so discredited. What does this mean, you should know?”

represents what?

Of course, it represents that the monarch has almost become a mascot in Chen Guo!

Chen Guo’s words are not about the monarch, but the powerful families!

Among the countries, Qi State was divided by warlords, but Chen State was controlled by aristocratic families. They are all deformed countries, which also shows that the top speakers in a deformed country will never think of national interests first, but their own interests!

Once the position is refined, you see, this matter will be very interesting.

The next day, the official responsible for receiving the envoys of Chen Guo came to Shili Station.

Cheng Ling also asked someone to inquire beforehand. The main official in charge of Wei Guolai’s affairs this time is named Zhang Jingxian, who was born in the Zhang family of the Chen Guoda clan. His family roots are mainly in the north of Chen Guo. The official went to Chen Guoda Sima.

Da Sima general commander Chen Guobing, of course, this is only in name. In fact, the local tyrants in Chen State are very powerful, and each of them only wants to manage their own interests. When it comes to a critical moment, everyone may not listen to the orders of the great Sima.

The north of Chen State is just close to Wei State, and the main forces of the Zhang family are among the counties in the north of Chen State.

Then, let’s just guess, will the Zhang family want to have a big conflict with Wei?

When Zhang Jingxian came to the station, his attitude was quite satisfactory, neither arrogant nor presumptuous, nor obsequious.

He was accompanied by five or six officials and two hundred guards.

Among the 200 guards, there were about 30 cavalrymen. Unlike the black armored cavalry with long spears and cold light clothes, most of Zhang Jingxian’s 200 guards had light footsteps and harmonious blood. In the eyes of experts, these were all cultivation A master of internal martial arts with good martial arts!

A guard team of this level! Is Zhang Jingxian here to show off his majesty?

It seemed like yesterday, when I suddenly discovered that “Signing in in the World of True and False Prostitutes” received a reward from a leader, and the finished book can still be loved so much by my friends, I am moved! Thank you for the encouragement of the leader who stayed in the Mood for Love at the age of 18. The old book over there has been finished and no more chapters can be published. Thank you for speaking here~
