Chapter 163 Wu Yunwan

As Prime Minister Chai Jiliang finished speaking, the Dawu Court Hall was extremely quiet at this time.

The officials looked at Chai Jiliang, who was standing at the front, with disbelief. Obviously, no one expected that Chai Jiliang would persuade Emperor Wu to end the war.

After Emperor Wu ascended the throne, he has been waging wars with foreign countries. Now the area of ​​the Wu Dynasty is one-third larger than before. These are all the achievements of Emperor Wu, and they are also things that Emperor Wu always likes to brag about.

Now, someone actually dares to stand up and advise him not to start a foreign war, and even says that the Dawu Dynasty is in danger of overthrowing. Isn't this a suicide attempt?

Although Chai Jiliang is the prime minister, in the Dawu Dynasty, the position of prime minister is not stable. Since Emperor Wu ascended the throne, he has eliminated many prime ministers. Some people even doubt whether Emperor Wu intends to directly depose the prime minister in the future and never give up. Establish the position of prime minister again.

Chai Jiliang’s head is so strong!

The war between Dawu and Daxia had just begun, and he actually dared to jump out and persuade Emperor Wu to end the war.

How could Emperor Wu agree to end the war? Not long after the war started, Dawu occupied two counties in Daxia.

It was obvious that Daxia was not going to work. For a king who was obsessed with land expansion, this was a very good opportunity. How could he stop at this time.

At this time, Emperor Wu, who was wearing a black gold-trimmed dragon robe on the dragon stage, was staring at Chai Jiliang under the dragon stage.

The atmosphere in the main hall seemed extremely dull. All the officials under the dragon platform were sweating. The hot air made it difficult for people to breathe.

After an unknown amount of time, Emperor Wu snorted and said, "Chai Jiliang, I think you have been the prime minister for a few years, and you are a little confused about your position."

"Since I came to the throne, I have laid down so much land for future generations. In your eyes, Chai Jiliang, I have turned into a tyrant who doesn't care about the life and death of the people and only knows how to launch wars?"

After hearing what Emperor Wu said, Chai Jiliang continued without being humble or arrogant: "Your Majesty has laid down countless lands for future generations. This is indeed your Majesty's achievement. At first, the people also praised your Majesty. However, the wars every year have made Dawu The common people are tired of it. No matter how much land your Majesty conquers, there will be no smile on the faces of the common people. Your Majesty is walking too fast, and the common people can no longer keep up with His Majesty’s pace.”

"Your Majesty, it's time to rest!"

"You need to rest, the Dawu Dynasty needs to rest, and the common people need to rest even more!"

Hearing Chai Jiliang's words, Emperor Wu sneered. Seeing that the expression on Emperor Wu's face became increasingly gloomy, Geng Chengguang, the Minister of Rites, stood up and said, "Xiang Chai, are you accepting the benefits of the Great Xia Dynasty?" , that’s why you stood up to persuade His Majesty to end the war, right?”

"Who doesn't know that Daxia is full of internal conflicts and its strength has been greatly weakened. At this time, Immortal Daxia may not have such an opportunity in the future."

Chai Jiliang said coldly: "Geng Shangshu, I'm afraid you are the one who received the money. I have long heard that you have close contacts with the Chu family of Daxia. Every year, the Chu family gives you many gifts, and Xia The emperor has long wanted to destroy the Chu family."

"You have repeatedly encouraged His Majesty to attack Daxia, regardless of the life and death of the people of Dawu. You know your intentions.

Geng Chengguang immediately said: "Prime Minister Chai, don't slander someone's innocence with your words! You must provide evidence in everything!"

At this time, Chai Jiliang was about to say something, when Emperor Wu on the dragon stage said in a strong voice: "That's enough!"

After the words fell, Emperor Wu looked at Chai Jiliang and said indifferently: "Prime Minister Chai is ill. He will take good care of himself at home from today on. The post of prime minister will be temporarily replaced by Geng Chengguang."

Upon hearing this, Chai Jiliang immediately bent down and saluted and said, "Your Majesty, thank you for your kindness."

Emperor Wu was too lazy to continue talking nonsense. He stood up directly, waved his sleeves and said: "Retreat from the court!"

Then Emperor Wu left the Li Zheng Hall.

As soon as he left, some officials gloated about his misfortune and made sarcastic remarks.

"Master Chai, why are you doing this? It's better now. You've lost your official position."

"Master Chai, I think your majesty is absolutely right. You have been the prime minister for a few years and you no longer understand your position."

"My Dawu army is about to reach the capital of Daxia, and Master Chai actually jumped out to oppose His Majesty. If you say that Daxia's money will be confiscated, I won't believe it."

"Master Chai, you'd better go back and recuperate. It's best to ask a doctor to take a look at your brain, hahaha."

…

Hearing the officials' cynicism, Chai Jiliang didn't take it seriously at all. He walked directly out of the hall.

This is the case in Dawu. The prime minister is just a worker. If he has power, he does have some power.

But in terms of how much power he has, it can be seen from the officials who just laughed at Chai Jiliang that the little power he has is nothing at all.

His power can be taken away at any time, so not many officials in the court are afraid of him as the prime minister.

…

Dawu.

Imperial Palace, Qingyun Hall.

A woman in a purple dress sat on the couch, her slender legs crossed.

The woman is stunningly beautiful, with beautiful face, icy muscles and jade bones, and her body seems to exude a holy light.

At this time, she was holding a bamboo slip in her hand, and her eyes were focused on the bamboo slip.

At this time, a maid entered the hall and said: "Princess, Prime Minister Chai is here."

The woman whispered: "Let him in."

The woman's voice was mature and full of charm, making people feel like they were bathing in the spring breeze.

Soon, Chai Jiliang entered the hall.

"I pay my respects to the princess."

Wu Yunwan said "hmm", and then asked: "I wonder why Prime Minister Chai came to Qingyun Hall in my palace today?"

Chai Jiliang said directly: "Your Highness, I advised Your Majesty to end the war with Daxia today, which angered Your Majesty and was eventually deprived of the position of prime minister by Your Majesty. Now I am no longer the prime minister."

Hearing Chai Jiliang's words, Wu Yunwan raised her beautiful eyes and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Let my father end the war? Lord Chai, you really love to joke."

Speaking of this, Wu Yunwan looked at Chai Jiliang, and then said: "Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about? Are you going to ask me to persuade my father to end the war?"

"If Lord Chai thinks so, then Lord Chai, please go back."

Chai Jiliang immediately said: "Princess, you misunderstood. I came to you because I hope you can use your relationship to let Emperor Yue pay attention to the situation in the north."

Hearing Chai Jiliang's words, Wu Yunwan was immediately confused.

"North?"

"My relationship with Emperor Yue is good, but why should I let Emperor Yue pay attention to the north?"

Chai Jiliang said: "There are 50,000 heavy cavalry from Daxia in the north. If these 50,000 heavy cavalry pass through Dayue, they may directly cut off the retreat of the Dawu army."

Hearing Chai Jiliang's words, Wu Yunwan still smiled.

"Master Chai, are you referring to the 50,000 heavy cavalry in the hands of the Northern King of Daxia?"

Wu Yunwan is not an ordinary princess. She has great power, which makes her very familiar with the affairs of the major dynasties and countries. She also knows what the 50,000 heavy cavalry Chai Jiliang is talking about.

Chai Jiliang said: "That's right."

Wu Yunwan then said disapprovingly: "Master Chai, don't worry, the 50,000 heavy cavalry can't pass through Dayue. In order to prevent the barbarians from going south, Dayue has transferred 200,000 soldiers to the north."

"Not to mention that the Northern King will definitely not agree to pass through Dayue. Even if they pass through the land of Dayue Dynasty quietly, the 200,000 troops will stop them."
