Don't tell His Majesty?
When everyone heard this, they were suddenly confused.
This is great news. The situation in Zhenbei Pass is critical now.
The entire court was shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere. If the news about Tiandu Kingdom were to get out, it would definitely be inspiring.
However, after a moment's thought, Song Gongwen suddenly spoke up, "I understand what Grand Tutor means. The military report sent by Lord Yue says that the situation in Tiandu Kingdom is changing daily and should be clear soon. That's why the report ends with the latest news that will be coming in a while."
"Now, although we have received good news, to be frank, it is still inconclusive. Duke Aqin has not yet officially defeated Tiandu's capital army. However, if we wait for a while until the news becomes clear, it would be best to tell His Majesty now."
After these words were spoken, the other cabinet ministers finally understood.
The lack of conclusive news means that there are still many variables.
Even if His Majesty knew about it.
But in this situation, there is nothing that can be done.
But if the situation in Tiandu is clear, either King Aqin has the upper hand or Duke Aqin succeeds.
For the Wei Dynasty, various reactions could be made to this, but informing Your Majesty now would not have much effect at all.
"That's right." Zhang Zhengming smiled, looked at the crowd and continued, "Think about it, if Duke Aqin succeeds this time and replaces King Ali, it will definitely be a good thing for our Great Wei. A new monarch, especially in a chaotic situation, must calm the domestic situation and win the support of neighboring countries."
"Although the Great Wei of the Eastern Continent may not have the final say, it cannot be ignored. If Duke Aqin wants to secure his position, he must cultivate a good relationship with the Great Wei. You must know that Yue Ziyi is still stationed at the border with his troops."
Whether it was Song Gongwen or Zhang Zhengming, they both meant the same thing.
That is to wait until the matter is settled before informing His Majesty.
in this way.
This is a real surprise for the court and His Majesty.
At this time, Minister of War Lin Yuansong and Minister of Rites Wang Lun looked at each other and agreed with this point of view.
Anyway, what was sent by Wusudu Protector Yue Ziyi was just a military report, so there is no need to report it to Your Majesty.
"Okay, then let's wait for the next news from Master Yue."
"I hope that after this civil strife, Tiandu's national strength will be greatly damaged and it will never recover. This way, there will be no more major wars in the southwest of our Great Wei."
The two cabinet ministers spoke, their eyes filled with anticipation. Although they sometimes had different political views and even disagreed on various aspects, they were completely united in their foreign affairs.
Just as when Song Gongwen implemented the reform, he offended many people and even directly infringed the interests of some cabinet ministers.
However, the Battle of Gaoyang enhanced the prestige of the Wei State and caused the surrounding countries to calm down.
So they still did not hesitate to praise Song Hongzhi.
At the same time, I also have a better impression of Song Gongwen.
"Alright everyone."
At this time, Zhang Zhengming looked at everyone and said, "Things have been almost dealt with, and it's time for you to go back. As for finishing the matter, let me and Lord Song go together. There are still some issues with the military pay at Zhenbei Pass that need to be checked."
Upon hearing this, the people present nodded and had no objection at all.
During this period, because of the events at Zhenbei Pass, the father-in-law and the Grand Tutor often stayed in Wenhua Palace.
After all, one is the chief minister of the cabinet and the other is in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, so matters in this regard must naturally be handled properly.
So after everyone bowed slightly, no one said anything more.
As for the problem between King Yan and Marquis Shenwu.
I also think I can deal with it later.
Now that bloody battles are being fought at Zhenbei Pass, if the imperial court does something at this time, it may indeed shake the morale of the army, which would be counterproductive.
It would be better to wait until the matter is settled before bringing it up for a proper discussion.
After all the cabinet members and the chief secretary have left.
A smile suddenly appeared on Song Gongwen's face. He said, "This Chen Xuance is amazing. He actually encouraged Duke Aqin to send troops to fight against the capital's army. It was really unexpected. Now, not only the northern part of Tiandu, but also the various tribes in the south are ready to make a move."
"If these two forces unite, King Ali's rule will undoubtedly be greatly threatened. If we send troops directly, I'm afraid he will be overthrown in no time."
Others may not understand, but he knows it very well.
The reason why Tiandu Kingdom is in chaos is all because of Chen Xuance's instigation.
Not only did he move among the major forces in Tiandu, he was also treated as a guest of honor, and then united those forces to deal with King Ali.
It is precisely for this reason that such changes occurred in the Tiandu Kingdom in a short period of time, easing the situation in the southwestern region of the Great Wei.
"Yes." Zhang Zhengming couldn't help but sigh. "Originally, His Majesty selected Chen Xuance as the top scholar. I don't understand why. In terms of talent, he is indeed not as good as Ouyang Ji. However, his strategy of forming alliances is superb. With his own strength, he has plunged the entire Tiandu Kingdom into civil strife."
"Although the situation in Tiandu is already unstable due to King Ali's ruthless tactics, it is very difficult to completely provoke a conflict. Even if I were to go, it would be impossible. Chen Xuance is a real talent!"
Tiandu Kingdom and Dawei are both powerful countries in the Eastern Continent, but their national conditions are different, and the former is not as centralized as the latter.
But his strength should not be underestimated, so he has always been feared by the Wei Dynasty.
