After the grassland tribesmen left, the civil and military officials in the palace started a heated discussion.

"Your Majesty, how can you tolerate these impudent people who humiliate our Dayun Dynasty like this?"

"If the grassland people dare to raise troops to invade, I am willing to send troops to march on the grassland to level the grassland and show the prestige of our country!"

"Well said! How can we, the great human nation of Yun Country, be afraid of the grassland tribe? There are only a hundred thousand cavalry, so what should we be afraid of!"

Many generals are filled with murderous intent and are already eager to lead their troops to the borders of the Western Region, waiting for the 100,000 cavalry from the Prairie Tribe.

The Yun Kingdom is also a big country among the human nations. How could it tolerate being so humiliated by the grassland tribe?

These grassland people are so reckless and bullying. Do they think Yun Guo is a sick cat?

It's ridiculous to think about it. Even if Yun Guo is a sick cat, there is absolutely no way he will be bullied by a little mouse.

"Your Majesty, you are too impulsive! The prairie clan's cavalry are invincible and can defeat our Yun Kingdom's 200,000-strong army. Don't underestimate them!"

"Once there is a war with the grassland tribe, even if we can defeat them, we will pay a heavy price. After the war, the Yun Kingdom will be devastated and the people will not be able to survive!"

"Your Majesty, you are Hutu! You are Hutu! As the king of a country, you don't know how to advance or retreat, and you don't know how to be patient. You are trying to harm our country, Yun!"

There are also many officials beating their chests and stamping their feet, feeling as if a disaster is imminent.

The 100,000 cavalrymen of the Prairie Tribe are not vegetarians. They are extremely powerful when charging on the battlefield.

At that time, Emperor Jingwen was also afraid of the prairie tribe's cavalry, so he established diplomatic relations with the prairie tribe.

Now that Emperor Hongxuan is at odds with the Prairie Tribe, the Prairie Tribe will definitely raise an army to attack.

This is of no benefit to Yun State at all.

If the border cannot be defended and the grassland army is allowed to advance straight in, it will lead to an irreversible disaster.

I believe this is something no one wants to see.

Emperor Hongxuan looked at the ministers without saying a word.

As an emperor, he has long been accustomed to various debates in the court.

Emperor Hongxuan listened more seriously than anyone else to comments that were beneficial to the country.

And there are some words that you cannot listen to, so you have to filter them out in your own mind.

A strange color flashed in the eyes of the wise king, and he stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I dare to ask you, if the Yun Kingdom loses to the grassland people and causes a catastrophe, should you then ask the civil and military officials and the Yun Kingdom?

The people will give an account? Or when that time comes, can you take on this responsibility?"

As soon as the words fell, the Jinluan Palace fell into silence.

The officials of the Xian Wang Party sneered, while more than half of the officials glared at the Xian Wang.

The wise king is directly showing his sword to Emperor Hongxuan.

If things get out of hand, the wise king will have an excuse to force Emperor Hongxuan to abdicate.

This is indeed an opportunity to force a woman to have a baby, but taking advantage of the country’s crisis to force a baby to have a baby makes people feel very disgusting.

"Lao Ba, what do you mean by this?"

The King of Yan looked directly at the Xian King with a look of displeasure on his face.

Now that the Yun Kingdom is about to face a declaration of war by the grassland people, the wise king should be in the same boat as the civil and military officials. How can there be internal strife at this time?

"What do I mean? Don't you still know, Fourth Brother?"

The wise king said fiercely: "One hundred thousand cavalry! The emperor broke up with the grassland people without even consulting us. Has the emperor considered the consequences? If the Yun Kingdom is destroyed because of this, how can we face the late emperor in the future?

, go to see the ancestors of the Mu family, how can they be worthy of the tens of thousands of people in the Yun Kingdom!"

"Well said!"

The officials of the Xianwang Party were filled with indignation, and their expressions looking at King Yan were more or less mocking.

"I understand the mood of my eighth brother, but you have also seen that the grassland tribe took advantage of our Yun Kingdom's crisis, let alone marrying my Yun Kingdom royal family to the prairie prince as a concubine, even if we kneel down

By kowtowing to the Khan of the Prairie Tribe, can we guarantee that the Prairie Tribe will not touch our country of Yun! Who can guarantee that? Who dares to guarantee that?"

"Even if the grassland tribe regrets it later, we can buy time by making peace!" the Xian King argued.

"Do you think the grassland people are so stupid? Do you think the grassland people all have pig brains? If you were the Khan of the grassland people, would you give the Yun Kingdom a chance?" King Yan asked back.

"This..."

The wise king was speechless, but he still had a very unconvinced expression.

It's not that I'm dissatisfied with King Yan, but I'm dissatisfied with Emperor Hongxuan's handling of this matter.

"Ahem!"

Emperor Hongxuan suddenly coughed, and everyone immediately fell silent.

"My dear friends, it was not my original intention to be an enemy of the Prairie Tribe. It was because the Prairie Tribe bullied others too much, forcing us to become enemies of the Prairie Tribe."

Emperor Hongxuan said: "A moment of forbearance will indeed bring about short-term peace, but it will also encourage the arrogance of the grassland people. We, the people of Yun State, must stand upright and would rather die than become a slave!"

"That's nice to say, but why do you have to drag down thousands of people in the Yun Kingdom to fulfill your noble character, Emperor Hongxuan!" the Xian King said disdainfully.

This sentence is extremely lethal, almost pointing at Emperor Hongxuan’s nose and calling him a coward.

Using the sacrifices of thousands of people to exchange for Emperor Hongxuan's noble integrity and his name in history, what is he but an unjust and cowardly king?

Emperor Hongxuan's face changed when he heard this, and he felt angry.

"Presumptuous!"

King Yan said angrily: "Eighth brother, please stop talking nonsense in the Jinluan Palace. Do you think the emperor is willing to fight with the Prairie Tribe? If the Prairie Tribe wasn't so aggressive, why would he be like this?"

"I think it would be better to let my fourteenth brother abdicate the throne for you, and let you bow to the grassland people as emperor and kneel under the grassland people's khan to survive, so as to protect thousands of people.

People, what do you think of fulfilling your daring loyalty?"

"What nonsense!"

The wise king looked ugly. He really wanted to be the emperor, but if he was asked to be the emperor but surrender to the grassland people, he couldn't do it.

That would be a shame to Emperor Yun!

A joke in the literary world of various countries, an existence that will last forever!

At that time, everyone will think that the wise king became the lackey of the Khan of the grassland tribe in order to become the emperor of the Yun Kingdom, and he will be scolded by later generations as a shame to the human race.

It would be impossible for him to be such an emperor.

If he wants to be the emperor, he must be the emperor who creates a foundation for eternity, leaves a glorious legacy in history, and is admired by all people.

Only in this way will there be a queue.

"Hmph! Even you are not willing to surrender to the grassland tribe, so what are you talking about here?" King Yan said coldly.

"Perhaps, we should agree to the Prairie Tribe's marriage conditions from the beginning, so that we can stabilize the Prairie Tribe." The Xian King said still unwilling to give up.

King Yan retorted: "On the contrary, once we agree to make peace, the grassland people will think that our Yun country is afraid of the grassland people, and will instead let the grassland people attack the Yun country in advance and make peace? Ridiculous! Only weak countries will make peace! Only weak countries will make peace.

Only a country would use such a shameful way to beg for mercy from the grassland people!"

"Your Majesty, Lord Yan, said it well!"

"We, the Dayun Dynasty, will never be ashamed of marriage!"

Many officials agreed.

The wise king wanted to retort, but he hesitated, not knowing what to say.

"Your Majesty King Yan is right, we would rather die than surrender! We would rather die than surrender!"

"Even if I die on the battlefield, I will never be a foreigner's dog!"

"You guys who are greedy for life and afraid of death, don't stand in front of the Jinluan Palace and embarrass yourself!"

"There is no way! After all, when the country is in crisis, there are always some people who want to help other people's country instead of doing good things."

Officials of the King of Yan Party asked for war one after another, and their murderous intent was boiling.

"You... are so presumptuous!"

The wise king's face was ugly. He couldn't tell that those officials were criticizing Sang and Huai, or that they were scolding the wise king and his party.

The officials of the Xian Wang Party were so angry that they could not bear the humiliation.

King Ji, who had been silent for a long time, said loudly: "I support the emperor and am willing to share the emperor's worries, even if I die!"

King Chong also said: "Scholars protect their families and their country, why should they fear that they will be returned wrapped in horse leather?"

The King of Heroes geared up, "So what if there are a hundred thousand cavalry? They will attack me as if they were violating our borders!"

"The King of Heroes is right!"

"Hit! Beat them to pieces!"

"Kill! Kill them without leaving any trace behind!"

At this moment, with the support of the kings, more than half of the officials are on the side of Emperor Hongxuan.

Main battle!

If you want to hit, hit hard!

The Yun Kingdom is not afraid of war, nor is it afraid of being shrouded in horse leather!

Emperor Hongxuan looked at King Xian without saying anything, but his look was more intimidating.

The Xian King gritted his teeth. Now everyone is taking the initiative to challenge, even he can't resist.

Emperor Hongxuan has won the support of officials. Although he is still young, he still maintains the emperor's demeanor.

Other officials of the Xianwang Party also looked at the Xianwang, hoping to get instructions from the Xianwang.

After hesitating for a moment, the wise king said slowly: "Since hundreds of officials are in charge of the battle, I should do my best to help. Long live my emperor!"

"Long live my emperor!"

"Long live my emperor!"

The officials of the Xianwang Party also roared, and the entire Jinluan Palace was filled with fighting spirit.

…………

The next day.

"Yunjing Wenbao" published the latest news that Emperor Hongxuan rejected the prairie tribe's proposal for marriage and ordered the prairie tribe's envoy to return home.

The whole capital was in an uproar, and the streets and alleys were hotly discussing this matter.

"What! Refuse to make peace with the grassland people? This is impossible! How could the emperor make such a decision?"

Wu Xiangwen, who was enjoying the shade under a tree outside the imperial examination class at the Guoxue Palace, had a look of disbelief on his face after reading the "Yunjing Wenbao".

Yesterday, he also analyzed that the imperial court would definitely agree to make peace with the Prairie people for the sake of the overall situation, and even ridiculed some students who advocated war with the Prairie people.

He even sprayed Du Ning in front of the students.

However, now, the "Yunjing Wenbao" has published the news that Emperor Hongxuan refused to marry. It is simply a slap in the face from reality! A slap in the face of Wu Xiangwen.

"Brother Wu, you are mistaken this time. The imperial court did not make peace with the Prairie tribe, but warned them that if the prairie tribe's cavalry dares to step into the Yun Kingdom, they will take the Western Region grassland into the territory of the Yun Kingdom. My emperor is mighty!

My emperor is domineering!"

"This is the style our big country should have! Good!"

"Master Du, I didn't expect that you and the little emperor would actually get together."

"He is indeed the most talented person in Suzhou, I admire him!"

Many students cast admiring glances at Du Ning.

Wu Xiangwen felt a surge in his chest, as if he was suffocating.

"The foolish king has misled the country! The foolish king has misled the country!"

Wu Xiangwen's eyes suddenly burst into tears, and he gnashed his teeth and roared: "How could he be so impulsive! If the prairie tribe's cavalry came to kill, how could the Yun Kingdom resist? The late emperor really shouldn't have passed the throne to the fourteenth prince!"

"Foolish king! You are harming others and yourself! You are harming the country and the people!"

Wu Xiangwen was extremely sad and angry.

Someone sneered: "Brother Wu, you are too impatient. The cavalry of the grassland tribe have not yet come to kill, and the border of the Western Region has not been breached. How can you say such rebellious words?"

"You don't understand! You don't understand at all!" Wu Xiangwen said fiercely.

"I'm afraid you don't understand." The man sneered.

Du Ning said to everyone: "No matter whether the little emperor's decision is right or wrong, we should fully support it. If someone spreads some unpleasant rumors to shake the people's hearts, that is the real harm to the country and the people."

"Master Du's words make sense." Everyone nodded.

"Du Ning, what did you say!"

Wu Xiangwen was furious, thinking that Du Ning was mocking him, and cast an unkind look at Du Ning.

"Master Wu, what's wrong with you? Why are you so angry?" Du Ning asked in confusion.

"Du Ning, this is all your fault!"

Wu Xiangwen pointed at Du Ning's nose and said: "If it weren't for you, the Eight Wise Kings would not have missed the throne of the crown prince. If it weren't for you, Emperor Jingwen would not have passed the throne to the fourteenth prince. If the Yun Kingdom was flattened by the prairie tribe, the palace , you are the eternal sinner of the Yun Kingdom!"

Du Ning was stunned, and many people present were also stunned.

Good guy, you can still play such a fancy way of blaming someone, I really learned a lot today.

Is there still such an operation?

"Brother Wu, isn't it bad for you to slander Mr. Du's literary name so much?" someone said with a sneer.

"What does Du Ning have to do with the fact that the wise king cannot become the prince? If it weren't for the corrupt officials of the wise king's party, maybe Emperor Jingwen would have passed the throne to the eight wise kings."

"I think it's a good thing that Emperor Jingwen didn't pass the throne to the Eight Wise Kings, otherwise he might really agree to make peace with the Prairie people, and then we Yun people will not be able to hold our heads high in front of the Prairie people."

"That's right."

Wu Xiangwen was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He didn't expect that since the wise king lost the qualification to elect the prince, the tone in the Guoxue Palace would be like this.

The wise king has gradually lost the support of the people.

But even so, Wu Xiangwen believed that Emperor Hongxuan was worse than a wise king.

After all, Emperor Hongxuan is too young.

Doesn’t this mean we are at odds with the grassland people?

"Maybe you are right. A virtuous king may govern the Yun Kingdom better than a little emperor, but he may not have the imperial backbone of a little emperor." Du Ning said.

"Presumptuous!"

The look Wu Xiangwen looked at Du Ning at this moment was already full of hostility.

"Bold! Who dares to insult the name of the wise king!"

At this moment, a group of Juren students came in an aggressive manner.

The leader, Ju Ren, stood proudly, looking around, and finally landed on Du Ning.

Du Ning knew in his heart that these were the pawns of the Xianwang Party in the Guoxue Palace. They built a "Xianwen Society" in the capital to attract scholars from all over the country. When Emperor Jingwen elected the prince, they had won many votes for the Xianwang.

And because the wise king failed to choose the crown prince, they also felt very disgusted with Du Ning, and even had a lot of hatred.
