The world of bad people is invincible

Chapter 342

In Ma Xiyue's mansion, Ma Xiyue is receiving guests in the living room.

"You want me to surrender Chu to your Tang?"

Ma Xiyue looked directly at Shi Yao, and sneered at the corner of his mouth: "Go and live your Spring and Autumn Dream!"

As soon as the ironic voice came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly froze, and everyone sitting around looked at each other.

Shi Yao, who was sitting on the side, didn't think so, just smiled slightly and said, "Young Master, do you think we are bad people and don't have the strength anymore?"

"The martial arts are high and the martial arts are high. No matter how high your martial arts are, do you know how to govern the country?"

Ma Xiyue didn't speak, but Xu Dexun, the Right Minister of the Chu Kingdom beside him, turned his head to look at Shi Yao, and said in a calm tone, "You say that bad guys are handsome and martial arts are unrivaled in the world, so I would like to ask you, since you bad people are so talented Jiji, who thinks he has the most orthodox bloodline of the Li Tang royal family, why has he curled up all these decades and dared not show his face at all?"

Xu Dexun is a scholar who loves to read history. He is not self-willed, and he is straightforward when he speaks.

He also said: "Since you bad people are so capable, how can you let Tang Xizong have fun and appoint Jiannan and Shannan Road Jiedu envoys by playing polo?"

Shi Yao was not from Tang Xizong's era, but he had heard of Tang Xizong's stupidity.However, as a minister of the Tang Dynasty, she still explained: "The monarch and the minister, as a minister, how could it be possible to disobey the emperor's holy order?"

"What happened to Wei Zheng in Zhenguan in the past? What about Emperor Taizong?"

Xu Dexun has always admired Wei Zheng's outspoken advice, and he is not afraid of disaster.He said righteously: "As a subject, I should have the duty of admonishing the king. Death is not a pity, instead of letting the king be fooled and the dynasty collapse!"

"Besides, when Huang Chao's uprising attacked Chang'an, Tang Xizong's monarchs and officials were helpless and crying, where were you bad people? It's ridiculous that when Huang Chao's army approached Chang'an, you actually pushed out the prime minister at that time, Lu Xie, as a scapegoat! I know that Duke Lu has made a lot of contributions to put down the rebellion!"

Shi Yao said: "Huang Chao's soldiers are powerful, and they are at the top and bottom of the feudal town. The situation is compelling, and there is no other way."

"Since bad handsome martial arts are unrivaled in the world, wouldn't it be enough to kill Huang Chao directly? If Huang Chao died, the rebellion would be over. Why would the people of the world, displaced, and clan children all end up being slaughtered?"

"Besides, the Tang Dynasty has been eight generations since Muzong, and there were seven monarchs established by eunuchs. But the decline of the Tang Dynasty is not limited to the troubles of Huangchao Fangzhen? The one who builds the court is the foundation of the world, and the ruler is the foundation of the court. The person who ascends the throne is the foundation of a ruler. Its origin is not correct, if you want to correct the world, can you obtain it?"

"What did you say!"

In front of the table was a sword eyebrow and starry eyes, and the young man in red immediately slapped the table, his palm on the table made a deafening sound.

"Who are you? Is it your place to interrupt here!" Xu Dexun pointed his hand at the young red-clothed man with an angry face, and said sternly.

"I, I am..." The young man looked at the old man, and just said something, but felt that he had nothing to say.What he said was meaningless, because although what Xu Dexun said was ugly, none of it was true.

The reason why he took the case was actually because Xu Dexun meant to offend the ancestors.

But I have to say that Xu Dexun, as the governor of a country, does not mean that he is not worthy of virtue.

Shi Yao beside him said to Xu Dexun: "This is our Majesty, why don't Prime Minister Xu hurry up and salute?!"

Shi Yao stood up and gave a deep bow to Li Xingyun.

"The king of the enemy country, why do you salute?" Xu Dexun said with a firm attitude: "However, since you are the king, please sit down."

Li Xingyun sat down and sighed softly. He looked at the table and remained silent.

In fact, what Shi Yao said before is also true.

Monarchs and ministers, the bad guy really didn't intend to coerce him, otherwise he would never have come to Chu.Of course, there is one exception, and that is the matter of proclaiming himself emperor.

But once proclaimed emperor, everything changed.He doesn't understand the government at all, Yuan Tiangang doesn't care about the government, and the ministers can't come up with any good policies.

It is said that Wu Guoquan originally relied on Xu Wen and his son to preside over the government, but Xu Wen was dead, and his adopted son Li Min led countless officials to surrender to Jin State, and Tang State, which was transformed from Wu State, no longer had any good officials.

The person in charge of the negotiations was still Shi Yao.She whispered to Ma Xiyue: "My lord, there is a reason for the hiding of bad people. But you may have misunderstood us. We don't want you to hand over the Chu Kingdom. We just feel that the puppet dynasty in the north is now The power is great, if the other princes want to defend the land, they should unite together."

After Shi Yao's words fell, the hall was suddenly silent, and everyone immediately cast their eyes on Ma Xiyue.

"Then what do you mean?" Ma Xiyue asked while sitting still.

"If the eldest son accepts our canonization, then your father, Ma Yin, is still the king of Chu, and you are still the eldest son of Chu." Shi Yao said.

"So Chu State has become your vassal state?" Xu Dexun argued vigorously: "After all, you still want to annex our Chu State."

As he said that, Xu Dexun actually laughed out loud, revealing all the sarcasm.

"Since ancient times, I have never heard that a strong country is a vassal of a weak country! Just like China is a vassal of a small country such as Goryeo! It's ridiculous!"

Ma Xiyue nodded, and said: "Your Minister is right, I, Ma Xiyue, am the next King of Chu, so why do I have to send myself under the fence?"

"Of course the eldest son is not entrusted to others, but formally accepts the canonization of the imperial court in order to get a good name." Shi Yao looked at Ma Xiyue with a hint of sharpness in his eyes.

"Our Majesty is the descendant of the Li Tang royal family, which symbolizes the orthodoxy of the Tang Dynasty. It has been true since ancient times, and it is still an indisputable fact today. If the eldest son can get His Majesty's approval, it will be justified. Everyone will be happy, so why not Why not?"

Ma Xiyue curled his lips, he was naturally not interested in Li Tang's canonization.

He is about to be the king of Chu, with a high position and authority, so why does he have to accept the canonization of a dead dynasty?

He glanced at Xu Dexun, and Xu Dexun spoke again.

"Accepting your canonization, what good will it do for our country Chu and for the eldest son?"

Xu Dexun said: "At this moment, your Tang State is not as rich as our Chu State, nor is it as powerful as Chu State, and it is not as stable as Chu State. Today, the king of the Jin State in the north is restoring the imperial examination and allocating land. Settle refugees to make the country rich and strong; our state of Chu is also rewarding agriculture and mulberry, developing tea, advocating textiles, and emphasizing trade, so that the economy of Chu can develop. However, your lord put aside the government and came to other countries alone, trying to steal country of others."

"What Xu Xiang said is a bit inappropriate, isn't it?" Shi Yao raised his eyes and looked at Xu Dexun who was opposite him.

"So what? I, Xu Dexun, have lived most of my life, and I'm not afraid of death!" Xu Dexun nodded without fear, and said bluntly: "If you, the Tang State, let the government ignore it like this, I'm afraid there will be internal problems first!"

Xu Dexun's words were too heavy, and the situation seemed to have froze again.

Shi Yao didn't speak, she just sat silently, seeming to be thinking about something.And the other people around did not speak, they all looked at Shi Yao, quietly waiting for her answer.

At this moment, bursts of applause suddenly came from outside the door.

Everyone looked around and saw a man in black wearing a bamboo hat walking in from the door.He chuckled hoarsely and clapped as he walked.

"Xu Dexun, you are not afraid of death, but some people may not be afraid of death!"
