Chapter 65 Are you so brave?

The court officials' attitude was indeed beyond Xiao Zicheng's expectations.

Although he used to hear the cheap father talking about how the civil servants were up, he was a little dissatisfied at the time.

I thought it was because of the dispute between civil and military affairs that Xiao Fangzhi looked at people with tinted glasses, so he naturally had many complaints.

When Xiao Zicheng saw him today, he realized that he was not cheap, but his father was stingy. It was obvious that these civil servants were so annoying.

It was unimaginable that Chen Guo had already sharpened his knife and was moving frequently on the Western Front. If it weren't for the winter, he might have called him.

These ministers in the court are still thinking about seeking peace?

Yes, it is undeniable that after the Great Zhou passed by the Qifengkou, the national strength was indeed inferior to that of the Chen State.

Once caught in the quagmire of war, Chu and Zheng are very likely to intervene.

It's like fighting a tiger in the yard, but two wolves are touched in the backyard.

Instead of doing this, it is better to discuss with the tiger, give him a piece of fat and dispose of it.

It’s also good to take out your strength to prevent the wolf in the backyard from rushing in.

Although this is true, what makes Xiao Zicheng feel sad is that the person who shouted to drive away both ferocious beasts was regarded as a lunatic.

Simply put, most of these civil servants are cartilage without any blood.

The words of the Minister of War were even more ridiculous. You can beat them, but you can't exaggerate them.

How can the frontline soldiers implement such difficult demands?

Xiao Zicheng could see clearly that the Minister of War was very good at everything on the surface, and it was him who fought and he was also him.

In fact, his real intention was to make peace with Chen State. The reason why he called for a fight was simply to see Emperor Jingping as the war and show his loyalty.

Simply put, it is to fight a tough battle to fight Chen Guoliang's strength, so that they realize that they cannot swallow the Great Zhou Dynasty. They can pick up some benefits and go home.

This method seems wonderful. It can not only allow Chen to withdraw its troops with minimal casualties, but also alienate Chen and Chu.

But what if the appetite of Chen State is not satisfied with Yunzhong County? What should we do then?

Xiao Zicheng only wants to say four words about this behavior of placing his life on the enemy's appetite:

"Fuck you!"

When he finished tidying up his clothes, he stepped out of the line under Li Fan's surprised gaze.

Emperor Jingping seemed to have noticed Xiao Zicheng's actions.

In fact, Emperor Jingping paid attention to Xiao Zicheng from time to time, wanting to see if he would raise objections.

After all, judging from his strategy of raising war with war, Xiao Zicheng is a passionate young man.

But what surprised him was that even Zhou Chongguang, the Minister of War, proposed to fight first and then negotiate, and to use the cemetery as a breakthrough.

Xiao Zicheng still did not make any objections.

This made Emperor Jingping feel a little disappointed while surprised.

"Xiao Qing, do you have any unique insights on this matter?"

Suddenly, the hall became quiet, and the ministers in the court turned their heads and looked at Xiao Zicheng and Xiao Fangzhi and his son.

Although it is due to the previous incident of Jiangyuan Academy, and the recent fire in Kyoto, chimneys, essential oils and other novel objects.

The court officials had a new understanding of the famous playboy of the Xiao family.

But it was the first time for most of them to really get close to this playboy.

Even if these novel objects are very useful to them, they are only limited to appreciation.

Now, Emperor Jingping has actually granted the playboy a viscount, and the Xiao family has the glory of two ranks.

This made many court officials feel dissatisfied, especially Yang Dang, who was headed by Yang Yi, regarded Yong Yibo as a thorn in his eyes.

Therefore, they have a somewhat slight attitude towards watching jokes in their hearts:

"Let me see today, this playboy has the ability to be favored by His Majesty?"

"Is Your Majesty asking me?"

Xiao Zicheng pointed at himself and looked unexpected.

However, Emperor Jingping would not be deceived by his pretended surprise and said lightly:

"Don't talk about those useless things, I just ask you, what do you think about the results discussed by the ministers?"

"Ah?" Xiao Zicheng looked surprised, "Have you guys discussed what result just now?"

Emperor Jingping frowned. Based on his understanding of Xiao Zicheng, the little monkey must have wanted to make trouble when he put on such a look.

Thinking of this, Emperor Jingping looked at Zhou Chongguang, Minister of War. Although the latter was a little confused, he understood the meaning of Emperor Jingping.

He immediately explained to Xiao Zicheng in a low voice.

"Oh! So that's it!"

Xiao Zicheng nodded as if he suddenly realized his head and said with a smile:

"Ceave land, pay compensation, and seek peace, right? Lord Zhou, if you don't have any idea in your head, would you be wrong?"

“….”

The courtiers looked a little strange. They had already thought of a word, but once Xiao Zicheng proposed an objection, they would attack him.

Who would have thought that this guy was so shameless and said directly that he was not smart?

Not only that, they also said what they thought without any modification...

Although they are dedicated to seeking peace, which one should not put the righteousness of serving the country and the people as a guise?

Now, Zhou Chongguang, the Minister of War, was almost fifty years old, and explained embarrassedly:

"Shan Chengzi misunderstood that he was not just seeking peace, but to make peace with Chen Guo to protect the foundation of the Great Zhou..."

However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted directly by Xiao Zicheng.

"Can Lord Zhou be a Buddhist?"

The court officials looked at each other and couldn't understand why Xiao Zicheng was involved in Buddhism.

Zhou Chongguang, Minister of War, immediately turned dark.

Emperor Jingping hated the rest of the people because of the Manichaeism and deeply hated Buddhism. He made a lot of decisions about the destruction of Buddhism.

Now Xiao Zicheng actually said that he is a Buddhist? Isn’t this giving him eye drops?

"Don't swear by Shanchengzi. I hate Buddhism deeply. How could I be a Buddhist?"

Xiao Zicheng smiled:

"Oh, then I blamed the adults wrongly. I think so, the adults are great Confucian scholars, so how can they believe in Buddhism?"

Zhou Chongguang's face was full of confusion:

"Although I am the Minister of War, I am from a military background, how can I be called a great Confucian scholar..."

"Military origin?"

Xiao Zicheng showed an exaggerated expression when he heard this and said in disbelief:

"It would be fine if you are a civil servant, but you shouldn't be the most bloody person?"

Zhou Chongguang, Minister of War, changed slightly, while the faces of the other court officials also became strange.

Then they realized that Xiao Zicheng was scolding Zhou Chongguang in a corner, and he had no blood and moral character and was not incompatible with his position.

He also criticized all the Chinese officials in the court.

"I'll go, Lao Xiao is so brave..."
