Chapter 537, Using the Queen Mother as a bargaining chip

The minister guessed who that person was when he heard this, and immediately frowned and asked, "Eunuch Mo, are you talking about the Queen Mother?"

The Queen Mother of Donglin Kingdom is the birth mother of the king and the princess, and Xia Siheng should call her grandmother.

At that time, the Queen Mother loved Xia Siheng's birth mother the most, the little princess of the Donglin royal family.

I think the little princess also misses her mother very much.

And Xia Siheng also has a family affection for their Queen Mother because of his birth mother. They can use the Queen Mother to force Xia Siheng to withdraw his troops!

"It's the Queen Mother." Eunuch Mo raised his eyebrows and looked at the King of Donglin.

His expression was shy, revealing a kind of faint charm.

The King of Donglin withdrew his hand with a sullen face, glared at Eunuch Mo impatiently, and was rebuked by another old minister before

he could speak. Grand Tutor Peng said coldly: "What kind of bad idea is this? That is the Queen Mother of our Donglin! We Donglin can take out anything, but we cannot lose face. What is the difference between your proposal and stepping on the face of the royal family?"

"What will others say about us Donglin? Will they say that we can't beat Daxia, so we use the Queen Mother of a country as a bargaining chip? Where is your Majesty's reputation?" As

soon as Grand Tutor Peng opened his mouth, he led the ministers to refute.

They didn't know the secrets of the royal family. Everyone thought that the King of Donglin refused the demon god to massacre the city and was a wise monarch who cared about the people!

They would never allow a wise monarch to do such a thing. Too

shameful, too despicable.

"Master Peng, now that our Donglin gate has been broken down, what face do you still have? For your so-called face, are tens of thousands of civilians and soldiers going to sacrifice their lives?" Eunuch Mo had a hint of sarcasm on his face.

Yes, the Queen Mother was already blind and mute, and now she is bedridden with only one breath left.

It is a great deal to exchange a mere old lady for the withdrawal of Daxia troops.

The king, who is the ruler of a country, certainly cannot say such words.

Eunuch Mo, who has served the king since he was a child, naturally knows what the king is thinking, so he will make this proposal.

He will just play the role of the villain.

"Who do you think you are? We are discussing matters with the king, when is it the turn of a eunuch to interrupt? King, the Queen Mother is your mother after all. If you listen to the advice of this eunuch, what will the people say about you?"

Grand Tutor Peng was so angry that his beard stood up. There has been no precedent of eunuchs interfering in government affairs in Donglin since ancient times. Has this eunuch Mo become arrogant after being with the king for so many years?

"Master Peng is wrong. When the troops of Daxia chased the king to Donglin that day, they had already spread the news in Donglin that the king had assassinated the emperor of Daxia. We have made many efforts, but to no avail. Today, even Daxia has sent troops to attack our doorstep."

"If we have no countermeasures, are we going to watch them break in?"

"I have to say something unpleasant. When the people heard the false news from Daxia, they chose not to trust the king. Why should the king care about the reputation of the people?"

In short, the reputation has been ruined, who cares about a worse reputation?

The king did not stop Eunuch Mo from speaking, which means he acquiesced.

It was because what Eunuch Mo said was what he thought in his heart, but it was not appropriate for the king to say it.

"What do you know, you eunuch? When the South Vietnamese drug powder invaded Donglin, it harmed countless people. At that time, the Queen Mother was still the Queen. Relying on her friendship with the leader before she left the palace, she hid her identity as the Queen and sneaked into the drug den alone. She worked with the court to eliminate the South Vietnamese drug den. The Queen Mother also injured her eyes and has been unable to see since then."

"The people are grateful to the Queen Mother. If you make this plan public, the people will probably go to the palace in anger and tear your mouth apart!"

Master Peng had experienced it at that time and knew what kind of torture a spy would suffer if he was discovered.

Fortunately, the Queen Mother was only blind at that time and her life was not in danger.

Those people who were freed from the sea of ​​suffering of drug powder were grateful to her and even spontaneously built a temple for the Queen Mother.

Later, the Queen Mother gave birth to three children, two princes and a little princess, who made great contributions to the royal family.

Unfortunately, the fourth prince accidentally fell to death, and the princess was also killed by Daxia after marrying to Daxia. The former king could not bear such a blow and vomited blood and died. Only the current king was left and ascended the throne to become emperor.

The deaths of the above people are all one-sided news known to the people of Donglin.

These news were all passed on by the king himself, and there must be no mistakes. The

Queen Mother has made such great contributions to the people. How can such a person who is deeply loved by the people be used as a bargaining chip to exchange with the enemy when she is enjoying her old age! ＷＷw.lＩｎＧㄚùＴχτ.nétNo

matter who it is, they will not agree.

"Lord! Why don't you just mind this eunuch's mouth?" Seeing that the king was still hesitating, Grand Tutor Peng immediately scolded him.

He was an old minister who had assisted the previous king and was very important in the king's heart.

King Donglin came to his senses, without showing any dissatisfaction with Grand Tutor Peng on his face, and turned to Eunuch Mo and said, "This matter still needs to be discussed. You are too presumptuous to talk back to the Grand Tutor. Go out and slap yourself." Eunuch

Mo felt aggrieved, but when he thought that the king was going easy on him by punishing him, he felt happy. He

immediately went down and slapped his face.

"My dear ministers, I think what Eunuch Mo said makes some sense, but what Grand Tutor Peng said is also good. How about I ask my mother about this matter?" King Donglin said with a smile. As long as he went to discuss it with the queen mother, the queen mother would have to agree even if she disagreed.

Anyway, she has been tortured by herself, what else can she do?

Some people agreed, while others discussed.

Only Grand Tutor Peng firmly opposed: "I think that this matter should not disturb the Queen Mother."

She is already at the age of recuperation, how can she worry about these things.

The face of the King of Donglin twitched for a moment, and he suppressed his dissatisfaction in his heart, and said hastily: "Okay, Xia Siheng has just fought a battle, and he will have to rest for a while for the second battle. During this time, I will discuss this matter with my mother. If she agrees to persuade the peace, it will be a good thing for Donglin."

Persuade peace?

Instead of being a bargaining chip?

When the ministers heard this, they all agreed and called the king wise.

Only Master Peng walked out of the study with an unhappy look on his face. He heard that the king had been taking good care of the Queen Mother in Cining Palace to enjoy her old age.

And they, the ministers, including the female relatives, had heard that the Queen Mother was ill and had never seen her.

This made Master Peng very worried about the Queen Mother, and he paused.

He decided to visit the Queen Mother!
