Yuan Shu really wanted to step forward and beat Gao Youlou.

However, as the Emperor of Great Chu, he still cannot lose his majesty.

Yuan Shu asked the minister in the palace:

"What do you think the King of Goguryeo wants to marry the princess?"

As soon as Yuan Shu said this, Zhang Zhao, the Minister of Personnel, took the lead in making a list:

"Report to Your Majesty, the old minister believes that it is beneficial to our great Chu to propose marriage."

As soon as Zhang Zhao said this, Jia Xu, the Minister of Personnel, shook his head secretly and thought to himself that he was the deputy officer, had already finished his life.

Zhang Zhao has strong internal affairs skills, and with him there, it really saved Jia Xu a lot of effort.

Jia Xu is really reluctant to part with Zhang Zhao.

But this old man was trying to die by himself, Jia Xu really had no choice!

Yuan Shu said in a deep voice:

"oh?

Why did Zhang Qing say that?"

Before Zhang Zhao realized the seriousness of the matter, he waved his sleeves and talked:

"Now our country of Great Chu is rich and powerful, and all the world is submissive.

The barbarians from all directions also regard our great Chu as their respect.

But although our Great Chu destroyed the Xiongnu, Xianbei and other countries to establish their authority, they did not have any kindness to all countries.

Together and do good deeds are the way of the saint.

If the king could become a relative of Goguryeo, he would be able to show kindness to foreign countries and make them more acknowledge our great Chu.

Secondly, we can obtain a strong support to alleviate the border pressure on our Great Chu against the Gongsun clan in Liaodong and Wuhuan in western Liaoning.

This is a strategy that can kill two birds with one stone, why not respond?”

Zhang Zhao's statement was reasonable and evidence-based, and instantly received response from several civil officials.

Yuan Shu kept in mind the people who agreed to Zhang Zhao's words and silently labeled them.

Those who can stand in the court have absolute loyalty to Yuan Shu.

Some people are not very smart, such as Zhang Zhao.

Yuan Shu was surprised. Zhang Zhao’s intelligence value was so high, why didn’t he know it clearly at the critical moment?

It seems that the values ​​given by the system cannot be fully trusted.

Gao Youlou also showed a look of pride on his face.

Although I had expected Yuan Shu to agree to the marriage, I did not expect that there would be such a hard-core supporter among the officials of the Great Chu court.

It seems that this task is easier than expected.

Zhang Zhao also stroked his beard gently, feeling that he had given a good idea, and showed his face in front of the king.

If you show it a few more times in the future, the twelve heroes of the Great Chu Shenwei Pavilion will definitely have their own place!

"I don't agree with Mr. Zhang's words!"

A clear male voice interrupted everyone's discussion.

Yuan Shu looked up and saw that the person who spoke was Xu Shu, Minister of War.

Yuan Shu asked Xu Shu:

"What do you mean by Xu Aiqing?

Be as blunt as possible.”

Xu Shu bowed to Yuan Shu and said:

"Report to Your Majesty, Xu Shu believes that our great Chu must not be close to Goguryeo!

The establishment of the Great Chu country is due to the great king's divine power that dominates the world, and the soldiers of the Great Chu bravely fight against the enemy on the front line!

Instead of establishing good relations with neighboring countries.

Since the previous dynasty came from Emperor Gao to Emperor Jing, the strategy of marriage with the Xiongnu has never been cut off.

But what was the final exchange?

In exchange for the Huns' plunders!

It was not until the reign of Emperor Wu that the two generals Wei and Huo defeated the Huns that they brought peace to the Han Dynasty.

A powerful dynasty is made, not something that seeks peace!”

Zhang Zhao looked at Xu Shu with an ugly expression, not understanding why this person was unable to get along with him.

As soon as Xu Shu finished speaking, the Secretary of State Zhuge Liang expressed his words and said:

“What Yuan Zhi said is right.

With the current momentum of our great Chu, we completely ignore foreign races like Goguryeo.

Your Majesty ruled the world with the respect of the Human Emperor. How could a mere barbarian barbarian be worthy of my Princess of Great Chu?"

Zhang Zhao's face turned red by the anger of the two of them.

He felt very wronged. His words were all good words, for the sake of the king and for the people of Great Chu.

Why are the two bastards Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu so willing to fight?

Doesn’t it cost to fight a war?

Isn’t the soldiers recruited, the people are exhausted and the money is hurt?

What's wrong with marrying Goguryeo and attracting yourself an ally to deal with potential enemies in northern Xinjiang?

Zhang Zhao pointed at Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang and scolded:

"You are simply short-sighted!

My Great Chu has just established a country and is about to recuperate. How can we start the war easily?

Even if the country is big, war will perish!"

Zhang Zhao was just a minister, and his rank was lower than that of Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu.

If he was an ordinary minister, he would not dare to talk to the two of them like this.

The reason why Zhang Zhao dared was entirely because he was an old-fashioned official and relied on his seniority to be a veteran.

"Although the world is safe, forgetting the battle will lead to danger!"

Before Zhang Zhao could finish speaking, someone interrupted him.

Everyone looked at it, and the person who spoke was Sikong Xi Zhicai!

A major official of the Great Chu who was ranked among the three Dukes!

The king's most trusted chief adviser!

Xi Zhicai spoke as if setting the tone for this debate, and the civil officials who were arguing no longer spoke much.

Xi Zhicai took two steps forward and bowed to Yuan Shu with gaze:

"If you are not a person of my race, your heart will be different!

Even if Your Majesty is in love with Goguryeo, he cannot guarantee that they will be loyal to me.

The plan for marriage is actually the worst. I hope Your Majesty will be careful!"

Yuan Shu was originally very angry with Zhang Zhao.

Fortunately, there were Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang, and Xi Zhicai, who were sensible, which made him feel more angry.

"All the ministers should get up."

Yuan Shu sat upright and looked down at the court officials and said:

"Since I am the Emperor of Humanity, I will take charge of the world and hold the universe in my hand!

I don't care about how the previous dynasty treats foreign races.

Today is when Goguryeo is coming to marry, and I just set a rule for my Great Chu.

Also set rules for my successor!”

As soon as these words were spoken, all the court officials looked up to Yuan Shu.

Yuan Yao, Yuan Xing and other princes of Great Chu listened to their father's teachings attentively.

Gao Youlou also looked at Yuan Shu, thinking in his mind whether the Emperor of Chu could agree to King Chu's request for marriage.

Now the civil officials of the Great Chu are in anger, and no one except Zhang Zhao speaks for him.

This matter seems very difficult to deal with!
