The best ring

After Sun Zhongcai finished speaking, the imperial study fell into an unusual silence. No one spoke, as if they were considering the feasibility of the method Sun Zhongcai said.

"Well said!"

After a long time, Emperor Qi Feng spoke, breaking the silence in the imperial study room. After hearing his words, Sun Zhongcai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression became calmer and calmer. No matter what the reaction was from Shuiyue Kingdom, at least, he His position was saved.

"I think General Sun's method is completely feasible!" Qi Feng looked at Sun Zhongcai approvingly. The previous indifference had disappeared, and his eyes when looking at Sun Zhongcai also became softer: "Before, Shuiyue Kingdom has been forcing us I am in a dilemma when the Blackwater Kingdom sends troops. I feel really unhappy if I send troops. It will also make our country of Blackwater even more empty. If we don’t send troops, we will definitely make the Shuiyue Kingdom unhappy. When the time comes, they will blame us for being frivolous. , it is not impossible for them to really make them anxious and send troops to attack us. Now, with General Sun's suggestion, it is no longer us who are in trouble, but the Shuiyue Kingdom's turn. General Sun, I give When you took over Peng Chuan’s position, you were indeed right.”

Obviously, at this time, Qi Feng had no idea of ​​deposing Sun Zhongcai. He even felt that Sun Zhongcai's ability was no worse than Peng Chuan, and he might not have known him well enough before.

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. I am just pursuing my own affairs in my position and do not dare to be greedy for credit." Sun Zhongcai said modestly.

"If all my ministers can share my worries like General Sun, why should I be so worried?" Qi Feng looked at the other ministers in the imperial study and said lightly.

The ministers quickly lowered their heads, not daring to look at Qi Feng, feeling envious and jealous of Sun Zhongcai in their hearts.

"Your Majesty, the situation at Yangyu Pass is critical. Without further delay, we must seek help from Shuiyue Kingdom as soon as possible." Sun Zhongcai said to Qi Feng.

"General Sun is right, I will write the letter personally." Qi Feng said.

"Your Majesty is wise," Sun Zhongcai said.

"Your Majesty is wise." Other ministers also said one after another.

A rare smile appeared on Qi Feng's face. Although the situation in Yangyuguan was very critical, he was still very happy to be able to solve the troubles in Shuiyue Kingdom. You must know that the affairs of Shuiyue Kingdom had troubled him for a long time. He couldn't eat well or sleep well. Now that he finally has a solution, he is naturally in a happy mood.

"It's hard to say what kind of response the Shuiyue Kingdom will have. We can't pin all our hopes on them. General Sun, you should mobilize the army immediately, especially the troops near Yangyuguan, and be ready to support Yangyuguan at any time. "Qi Feng said to Sun Zhongcai.

"Wei Chen accepts the order." Sun Zhongcai responded.

"Remember, until Shuiyue Kingdom gives a clear answer, the reinforcements will be put on hold for the time being. I will ask the people on the Yangyuguan side to hold on. You just need to wait for the news." Qi Feng warned.

Now the matter of Yangyuguan is no longer just a matter of Yangyuguan. It is related to the relationship between Blackwater Kingdom and Shuiyue Kingdom and cannot be dealt with casually.

"Weichen understands."

"Okay, let's all disperse."

"Wei Chen, please retire!" Everyone responded in unison.

After everyone left, Qi Feng immediately wrote a letter to the emperor of Shuiyue Kingdom. The letter naturally described the situation in Yangyu Pass as extremely dangerous, as if it was about to be breached at any time and Blackwater Kingdom could be destroyed at any time.

After writing the letter, Qi Feng waved to the eunuch next to him and said, "Send this letter to Shuiyue Kingdom as quickly as possible."

"yes."

As a subsidiary country of Shuiyue Kingdom, the connection between Blackwater Kingdom and Shuiyue Kingdom is relatively close. In this palace, there are air couriers used for high-level communication between the two countries. It is not difficult to quickly deliver news.

Soon, a flying messenger flapped its wings, took off from the palace, and flew into the distance.

On the other side, Sun Zhongcai and others walked all the way outside the palace. Along the way, there was no verbal communication between them. Sun Zhongcai ignored these people and walked straight to the front.

Finally, when everyone was approaching the carriage, an official couldn't help but said to Sun Zhongcai: "General Sun is really capable and has solved another problem for His Majesty."

"It is our duty as ministers to share your Majesty's worries." Sun Zhongcai said calmly: "However, I am just letting you down. Sun is here to give you some trouble."

After saying that, Sun Zhongcai ignored those people and got into the sedan directly.

The bearers carried the sedan and left under the angry eyes of other officials.

"Look at how proud he is of being a villain. When Peng Chuan was here, he was like a loser. Now that he has gained power, he no longer knows his last name."

"Do you really think that you are the leader of a hundred officials? You are arrogant and arrogant! You are so weird!"

"Relying on His Majesty's favor, you don't take us seriously. This person is really hateful!"

After Sun Zhongcai left, other ministers reprimanded one after another, and the target of the rebuke was naturally Sun Zhongcai.

"However, this time he helped His Majesty solve the trouble. I'm afraid his status in His Majesty's heart will become even more important." One of the officials said.

"Resolved the trouble? It's still early!"

"How to say?"

"Do you think the crisis in Yangyuguan can be resolved so easily? Since Nanping Kingdom has come to attack, it is natural to come prepared. Perhaps, before Shuiyue Kingdom makes a decision, Yangyuguan has already been breached. ”

"Then aren't we all in danger?"

After Yangyu Pass was breached, Linshui City was also under the attack of Nanping State. Although it was still far away, it was no longer safe. It was not impossible for it to be attacked by Nanping State's army.

"If that happens, Shuiyue State will not sit idly by." The man said before: "However, Shuiyue State will definitely understand that they have been used by us and will be furious. Our Majesty will definitely find a way to calm them down. By then, our General Sun will probably be pushed out again, just like Peng Chuan before!"

The person next to him was silent for a while, thought about it for a while, and felt that what he said made sense.

When Shanling Pass was defeated before, Qi Feng pushed Peng Chuan out without hesitation, and even killed Peng Chuan's family. If Shuiyue State gets angry and can't bear the anger, Qi Feng will definitely push someone out to take the blame. Sun Zhongcai is naturally the most suitable candidate.

Although Sun Zhongcai had come up with a solution to solve the crisis of the Black Water Country this time, which was considered a great achievement, when it came to finding someone to take the blame, Qi Feng would definitely not be polite to Sun Zhongcai. Think about how much contribution Peng Chuan had made to the Black Water Country throughout his life, and Qi Feng just gave up on him. Compared to Peng Chuan, Sun Zhongcai was nothing!

Thinking of this, everyone looked in the direction where Sun Zhongcai left, with a gloating look on their faces.
