Chapter 73 Ye Sucheng Comes Out

Daxia, Yingtianfu, Kyoto.

After the absence of people from various schools of thought, the life here has become peaceful and ordinary again. Apart from hearing some discussions about the war in the north from the mouths of ordinary people, there seems to be no other big news.

Compared to the Great Xia Chaotang and the court family in Yingtian Mansion, this year was simply a very bad year.

The four continents in the northern border of Great Xia were completely exposed to the iron hooves of the three barbarians, and Zhuge Fang, the commander-in-chief of the great master level, died in the northern border.

20 soldiers also fell at the border, and some of them were young people from many aristocratic families.

In today's court, the focus of the debate has also changed. It is no longer how to fight the three barbarians bloody, but whether to respond to the empress of Zhou's request for help, send troops to the northern border, and attack the three barbarian cavalry from the back to relieve the pressure. The pressure facing Da Zhou.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the four kingdoms are originally one, and they should be on the same front against the Sanman and Gudi!"

"Your Majesty, I think it's impossible. Although the three barbarians have temporarily retreated, our four continents in the north are still under the iron hooves of the three barbarians. Besides, in the battle of Yezhou, I lost 20 soldiers in Daxia. If you send troops again at this time, I'm afraid..."

Hubu's servant Xixiu walked out of the line of civil servants on weekends, glanced at his colleagues around him, and then said.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhou, your lips are dead and your teeth are cold, you must not only care about the immediate benefits!"

In Dali Temple, an old man with white hair came out tremblingly, saluted, and retorted the words of Minister of the Household Department Zhou with an excited expression.

Emperor Xia, who was sitting on the dragon chair, heard that the courtiers on both sides had different opinions on this matter, and his face showed a dignified look, and he also seemed a little surprised and uncertain.

And during the debate in the Great Xia Dynasty Hall, outside the imperial palace, in a small and magnificent courtyard exclusively for the royal family, a group of people were anxiously waiting on the hall.

"My lord, I can't wait any longer. If I drag it on, something serious will happen..."

"Master Shen has a good plan for reconciliation?"

"Immediately meet Emperor Xia!"

"Okay, I'll tell the commander outside the door right away!"

This group of people was the special envoys from Dazhou. They met Emperor Xia immediately after arriving in the capital of Daxia. After submitting the letter of credence, they were placed here and waited anxiously for a day and a night. .

On the other side, on Suzaku Street in Kyoto, the gate of Ye Mansion was slowly opening. Ye Sucheng, who was dressed in formal attire, slowly got into the carriage with the support of the old housekeeper Gu Bo.

"Go to the palace..."

Uncle Gu said something, and the driver of the carriage responded, then hung up the door curtain, raised his whip in his hand, and the horse followed the sound, and walked slowly towards the palace.

When he heard that the Great Zhou Mission had arrived in Kyoto, Ye Sucheng knew that this day had come, and his role was manifested at this time.

After being silent at home for a day and a night, he couldn't wait any longer. Even so, he still hadn't made up his mind at this moment whether to make this decision.

"I have received too many honors in my life. As a courtier of the Great Xia, how can I let the king bear such a crime?"

Sitting in the rickety carriage, thinking of this, Ye Sucheng's heart felt a lot more at ease, and some things that he couldn't let go of were slowly untied.

Since he knew what Emperor Xia had done, this day would eventually come, and this was what he had been waiting for, and only he had the qualifications to bear such an infamy for Emperor Xia.

With the sound of horseshoes, the red walls of the palace slowly appeared in the field of vision. When the carriage reached the palace gate, the servant who drove the carriage let out a groan, reined in the horse's reins with both hands, and the carriage stopped.

"Master, the imperial city has arrived."

"Old Gu, wait for me here."

"........."

Stepping out of the frame, Ye Sucheng glanced at the familiar yet unfamiliar huge building in front of him, then looked calm, straightened his body, and slowly disappeared under the guidance of the palace guard.

"Since ancient times, the ruthless emperor's family..."

In the court hall, the civil and military ministers still did not discuss a result, and no one was able to convince anyone.

As for Emperor Xia, he just sat on the dragon chair and listened, and then said nothing.

Wang Yongnian stood beside him, looked at his feet, and was not moved by the noise of other court officials. All of this was not something he should care about.

"Your Majesty, the old lady Fu has an audience!"

"........."

"Xuan!"

A commander on duty entered the court hall and spoke, and the rest of the civil and military officials were silent for a moment when they heard this.

After hearing this, Emperor Xia kept his face calm, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

He knew in his heart that yesterday the members of the mission of the Great Zhou visited the heads of various departments of the court one by one with rich items, that's why such a situation happened in today's court.

Although he was very happy, he couldn't show it. He could only watch from the sidelines. When he heard the old matriarch enter the palace gate, he knew that his matriarch had already done a lot for him.

"Ye Sucheng, I have met His Majesty, colleagues..."

"The old lady Fu is free, and I will give you a seat!"

Emperor Xia opened his mouth, and Wang Yongnian next to him immediately stepped down. There were already two young eunuchs moving up the seat beside him.

Wang Yongnian supported the old master's hand, helped him to sit on the seat, and returned to Emperor Xia's side.

"How could the old matriarch have the heart today to come to the court?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the old minister heard that the 20 vanguard cavalry of the Sanman did not attack the second pass of Daxia, but diverted from Pizhou to the Great Peripheral Pass. The Empress of the Great Zhou sent a special envoy to Beijing to seek help. Therefore, the old minister Came here especially for this.”

Ye Sucheng glanced at the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs behind him, and there was some firmness in the dark color.

The rest of the ministers of civil and military affairs became a little nervous after hearing what the old matriarch said. They didn't know what the old matriarch meant, and they stopped talking about it.

"Unexpectedly, the old matriarch still has such a heart. All the ministers, in the future, you should follow the old matriarch as an example and do your best for my great summer!"

"The ministers and others lead the decree..."

"Old Madam Fu, do you have an opinion on this matter, Professor and I?"

Emperor Xia spoke with doubts in his tone, then stared at Ye Sucheng sincerely.

After meditating for a moment, Ye Sucheng was about to speak when the commander on duty outside the hall entered the hall again.

"Report to Your Majesty, the Special Envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the King of Qingjian County has an audience..."

"Xuan!"

After a pause, Emperor Xia responded.

Outside the hall, there was a young eunuch immediately announcing Emperor Xia's will at the top of his voice, and after a while, the three main and deputy envoys of Da Zhou entered the Da Xia court hall.

"Foreign envoy Zhou Wuqing, has met His Majesty..."

"........."

"The special envoy is here in a hurry, but there is something important?"

"exactly!"

At the head, a man in his early thirties said, glanced at the civil and military ministers around him, and then saw Ye Sucheng who was sitting in the first seat, and also stepped forward to ask a question.

"The foreign envoy has something to let His Majesty know that my Great Zhou is being surrounded by a million cavalry from Gudi Sanman at this moment. The border is critical and the people are in dire straits. Xia sent troops to help!"

"I already know about this matter. Today, the court is discussing this matter. The special envoy still needs to wait patiently for a while..."

"His Majesty……"

"His Majesty……"

The special envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty, King Qingjian, was about to make an excuse, but the old lady Fu Ye Sucheng, who was sitting in the first seat, also spoke out, interrupting Prince Qingjian's voice.

"What's the matter, old lady?"

Emperor Xia glanced at Prince Qingjian, and then asked Ye Sucheng.

"The old minister has something in his heart, and now he will say it in front of many colleagues in the hall and the special envoy of Da Zhou..."

"Old Madam Fu, it's okay to say, even if it's my fault, Tai Fu doesn't have to be shy!"

Emperor Xia felt at ease, he had finally reached this step, and he just had to watch it carefully.

"Your Majesty, colleagues, we all know that half a month ago, the three barbarians invaded our border with 30 cavalry, and General Zhuge led 20 soldiers from Daxia to fend off the enemy. However, under the enemy's conspiracy, the impenetrable city of Yezhou collapsed. My Great Xia sergeant resisted desperately, but the three barbarians did not care about the cost, and piled up corpses to make a way..."

"Despite the bravery of my Daxia soldiers, the city of Yezhou fell in the end, and the four continents in the north were exposed to the iron hooves of the three barbarians. Our 20 ordinary soldiers in Daxia and General Zhuge all died for the country."

"Five days ago, the three barbarians set off from the city of Yezhou to rest and reorganize. They joined the follow-up army of 30 and formed nearly 60 cavalry. For the souls of the three barbarians who fell under the scimitar..."

"In order to defend against the nearly 60 huge cavalry of the Three Barbarians, my Great Xia has mobilized the whole country. Food, supplies, weapons, and war horses are all available. These supplies have been sent to the second pass city..."

"Now, the three barbarians have suddenly moved to the Great Zhou Pass, cooperating with the Gudi people in the northern city of the Great Zhou to invade the Great Zhou. I, Daxia, can't do nothing about this matter..."

When Ye Sucheng said this, many ministers in the court were startled, then silently raised their heads to look at Emperor Xia on the dragon chair, and came back to their senses.

Even standing at the end, Li Yanjing, who was recuperating, couldn't help frowning.

He thought of the scene when the schools of thought were besieged by many great masters, and the words said by the great master Wu Ye, the number one killer in the world, before his death, and he couldn't help looking at the dragon chair Emperor Xia on the road.

But then, he shook his head again. If Emperor Xia had such ambitions, then the national strength among the four kingdoms would not be like this long ago.

Daxia's strength, military, economy, etc. are not what they are now, neither good nor bad.

Ye Sucheng paused for a moment, then continued to speak.

"If Da Xia sent troops to attack from behind at this time, the three barbarians would definitely suffer a heavy blow, but the three barbarians still have nearly 40 follow-up reinforcements?"

"What if the three barbarians are in a hurry and join forces with the Gudi people to attack Xia? Will Daxia be able to withstand such a huge pressure like it is now?"

"Furthermore, although the three barbarians are barbaric and vulgar, there are dozens of their masters and great masters. We cannot underestimate them."

"Old Madam..."

Hearing this, all the ministers in the court hall were already shocked, their eyes flicked back and forth between the special envoy of Dazhou and Ye Sucheng.

"The old minister does not agree with sending troops."

Ye Sucheng's last words left many ministers in the court stunned.

The three special envoys of Da Zhou were already shocked by Ye Sucheng's words.

After all, they were well aware of Ye Sucheng's weight in the Great Xia court. If he disagreed with sending troops, even Emperor Xia himself would not be able to refute.

However, why would the old lady Fu Yesu refute it?

One must know that the empress of the Great Zhou had studied under him for three years before she came to the throne, and it was a veritable master-student relationship.

Moreover, Jiuye Sucheng was assassinated by the three barbarians, and was seriously injured to the point of death. After hearing the news, the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty also issued an imperial order at all costs.

No one knew what the old lady was thinking.

However, after the old matriarch Fu made his statement, all the civil and military ministers in the court were silent, and then waited for Emperor Xia to make a decision.

Even Li Yanjing, who only wanted to eat melons, was in deep shock at the moment.

Then, he seemed to understand something, glanced at Emperor Xia, then at Ye Sucheng, then at the three special envoys of Da Zhou, and then fell silent again.

These things have little to do with him.

On the other side, on the dragon chair, Emperor Xia was still shocked when he heard Ye Sucheng's words, but he already knew the result in his heart.

After a moment of silence, Emperor Xia showed a heavy look on his face. He glanced at the faces of the three special envoys of the Great Zhou, and then said: "This matter will be postponed and discussed later. The Special Envoy of the Great Zhou should not be anxious, and go back Wait one or two."

"Retreat!"

"........."

Emperor Xia felt refreshed. Although the officials in the court had different ideas, they could only do so at the moment.

And the most uncomfortable ones were the three special envoys of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

They already understood in their hearts, and many ministers also understood in their hearts that Emperor Xia had made up his mind, otherwise he would not have hurriedly finalized his words after Ye Sucheng said it, and then retreated.

"Old Madam Fu, Your Majesty, please..."

"........."

Follow Wang Yongnian towards the palace.

In the imperial garden, Emperor Xia had already been waiting here, his gaze was still steady, but after seeing Ye Sucheng who came in with Wang Yongnian, there was a hint of emotion in his gaze.

"master!"

When Ye Sucheng arrived, Emperor Xia pushed everyone back, and after only two people were left, he, the king of the emperor, knelt down towards Ye Sucheng at this moment.

"Your Majesty, no!"

Ye Sucheng was taken aback, and then lifted Emperor Xia up, but he felt a heavy feeling in his hand, and Emperor Xia's body was motionless.

"Boom!"

Emperor Xia's forehead hit the ground heavily, making a crisp sound.

After three clicks, he got up with Ye Sucheng's support.

"Why do you need to do that!"

"........."

Faced with Ye Sucheng's sigh, Emperor Xia's heart moved, and his emotions changed a little.

"Or, am I just like a human being at this moment?"

Such thoughts flashed by, as if returning to the time when I first became a teacher.

A lot of pictures flashed in his mind, and then a broken brocade, a broken arm, a golden mask, and many other pictures that he couldn't forget.

Holding the old master's hand, Xia Di sighed, the master is really old, and there are wrinkles on his hands.

"Master has done a lot for me, and now I have to bear the world's infamy for me, I feel ashamed."

"You don't have to be like this. As a subject, the lord humiliating the subject to death is just some infamy. What is that?"

"By the way, master, I heard that Wushuang also left for the northern border?"

"Hehe, I set off two days ago, so I must have reached the northern border by now."

"Okay, I have such a young man in Daxia, I will definitely be able to achieve great things..."

In the imperial garden, Emperor Xia and Ye Sucheng were chatting.

In the huge palace, apart from the empress, there are three or five concubines, five underage princes and princesses, and then there are only eunuchs in the palace and so on.

If Emperor Xia wanted to talk to someone, most of the time he would just chatter with Wang Yongnian and the commander of the imperial guards, Li Huo.

In the early morning of the second day, Wang Yongnian was reading Emperor Xia's will in the court hall. Zhou Wuqing, the special envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Qingjian County King Zhou Wuqing pinched his fingers, and then led the mission out of Kyoto, heading towards the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

After the court retreated, a piece of news slowly spread among the people.

The Great Zhou was besieged by millions of troops, and was in danger. The Empress of the Great Zhou sent a special envoy to Xiaxia to ask for reinforcements, but was vetoed by Mrs. Ye in front of the special envoy of the Great Zhou in the court hall.

On the second day, Emperor Xia made the same will as the old master's attitude.

In the hall, many people shook their heads and sighed, and then fell silent. They all understood, but they couldn't say anything.

Just discussing one or two in private, Ye is already taboo.

The reaction of the people to this news was still a little slow, and there was not much reaction, but the various schools of thought, including the Da Xia family, etc., had already had a clear understanding.

Different people have different views on this matter, but there will never be a shortage of smart people in this world.

"Sir, can you teach me anything?"

"Grandpa, the situation is clear now, if you want to go further, you need to take action."

"Oh? Why?"

"The knife in His Majesty's hand is less."

"Let me think about this..."

In the Great Xia Academy of Literature, as soon as the realm of the great master was consolidated, Long Xiaowen summoned several vice presidents and other senior trainee doctors to gather in the Holy Palace.

"Dean, is it okay for the old dean to do this?"

"I don't know. The master should have his own considerations for making this move..."

"Cang Hai, how long has it been since you visited Master and his old man?"

"Back to the dean, it has been more than three months..."

"Well, this is not appropriate. Tomorrow, you can go to the manor for me to visit the master."

"it is good!"

Wen Canghai responded with a solemn expression, and then said nothing.

Outside the gate of the Most Holy Palace, a Confucian scholar was holding a jug in his hand, his mouth was open, and his behavior was flirtatious, but none of the Confucian disciples passing by dared to step forward and stop him.

"Cang Yuan, as a disciple of Confucianism, why is he so disregarding etiquette, justice, and shame?"

"Hehe...haha...propriety, righteousness and shame...haha"

Looking back at the visitor, Wen Cangyuan let out a maniacal laugh, then took another sip of wine, and walked out of Daxia Academy of Arts with unsteady steps.

Wen Canghai frowned, but didn't go forward to chase Wen Cangyuan back. He just stayed where he was for a while, and walked out of the Academy of Arts.
