Come to Daming with military supplies

"Whether this opinion is true or not, we have to make second-hand preparations." Du En raised his head, and he really wanted to say that since he sent the news , he would of course think it was true.It's just that he won't say such words, he will let the king figure it out by himself.At the same time, he still wants to use this to trick some people, let alone speak too harshly.

"Well, well, it's right to make second-hand preparations." Poromo kept nodding, but quickly shook his head again, "But we have to guard against whether someone deliberately released false news to guide us, so come here People, call the left prime minister into the palace to discuss matters."

In the end, Poromo still didn't make a decision, but planned to call other people together to listen to everyone's ideas.

Hearing that the king was about to summon the prime minister, the excitement in Du En's eyes disappeared in a flash.He knows himself as the king too well, and he likes to listen to everyone's opinions on everything, and it seems that only in this way can he make the most correct choice.But he did forget one sentence, that is, the truth is often only in the hands of a few people.

The king called, and it didn't take long for the left minister Ding Dingwei to appear in the side hall in official uniform.

Ding Dingwei has a slender figure and looks in his 50s. His eyes are small but very energetic, giving people a very wise feeling.

"I see Your Majesty." As soon as he entered the side hall, Ding Dingwei bowed to the king according to the rules.

"Left Prime Minister, please get up, come on, take the things here." When Ding Dingwei entered the palace, Poromo's expression had already returned to the original, a look of old gods, obviously he wanted to see the two prime ministers. Arguments are making decisions.

Quite like a gentleman, Ding Dingwei unhurriedly took the paper that the eunuch sent in front of him, first glanced at it roughly, his eyes widened a lot, and then looked at it carefully twice , After that, he didn't speak immediately, but slowly closed his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

King Boramo was not in a hurry, he seemed to be used to the Zuo Xiang's way of dealing with things, and he just sat there calmly and calmly.Du En, who was standing on the other side, was also not in a hurry. This was a trap. He had even thought about what choice Ding Dingwei would make, so he waited for the other party to jump in.

After about five or six breaths, Ding Dingwei finally opened his eyes, and then he cupped his fists and said to Boromo, "Your Majesty, but I don't know where this news comes from?"

.

Chapter 626 The Prime Minister's Bet

Prime Minister Zuo said this, apparently because he didn't think it was news from the army, but he knew very well that it would take the day after tomorrow at the earliest to get any definite news about the development of the other two countries, and now it's here. That can only show that this news did not come from official channels.

"Hehe, Prime Minister Left is really powerful. This news does not come from the military, but Prime Minister Right." Boramo seemed very satisfied with Prime Minister Left's performance, and did not forget to praise him first.

"From the right minister? Hehe." Ding Dingwei smiled.Originally, he was skeptical about this news, because they were enemies with the mercenaries, and of course they had done research and research on the strength of the opponents.In their view, although the mercenaries are powerful, their weaknesses are also very obvious. That is, the number of troops is too small. It is impossible.

But now, the news confirmed that both the Siamese and Ava armies sent troops and were defeated and retreated. This seems too unreal no matter how you think about it.This made people a little suspicious, but now that the source of the news was from the right hand, Ding Dingwei reflexively thought it was fake news. As for why he made this up, it was very simple. Send reinforcements to the front.Because the political views of the two are at odds, once the reinforcements are sent out this time, it means that the other party has lost in the battle.

"Oh? I don't know why Prime Minister Zuo is laughing?" No one knows if Boromo thought of something when he said this, but just from this question, he is clearly a spectator who is not afraid of trouble. big lord.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being unreasonable. Now I would like to ask the Prime Minister a few questions. I don't know if it's okay." Ding Dingwei still smiled and asked Boromo for instructions.

"Presumably the right-hand man's breast cup won't mind, right?" Boromo nodded with a smile, which was equivalent to agreeing for Du En.

"Naturally." The confident Du En nodded reservedly, then looked at Ding Dingwei and said, "If you have any questions, Prime Minister Zuo, feel free to ask, and the Prime Minister will tell you the truth."

At this moment, Du En looked very calm, and even had a confident look on his face.And when Ding Dingwei saw all this, for some reason, his heart couldn't help trembling.

What kind of person is Du En, as an old opponent, he is too clear.It is unscrupulous in order to fight for power and profit. Such people are often willing to call black things white.Because of this, this person has done too many things that make people feel guilty, and it is difficult to put adjectives like self-confidence on him.But now, he is so calm. Could it be that this information is true?

As soon as this idea passed in his mind, Ding Dingwei quickly rejected it.If it was true, His Majesty would not have called him over.Now that he was called here, it only shows that His Majesty is also skeptical about this information.When I thought that once I and His Majesty both recognized this information, I was afraid that the matter of increasing troops to the front would be postponed indefinitely. It means that the opponent is stronger than oneself.

Thinking of this, Ding Dingwei put aside the suspicion that had just arisen. "Master Right, may I ask where did you get this news?"

"To be honest, Mr. Zuo, this news was sent to my house by a businessman who claimed to be from Laos." Du En, who had been prepared for a long time, replied calmly.

"Laos businessman? But I don't know if Mr. Right has seen him with his own eyes?" Hearing that the source of the news is such a joke, Ding Dingwei is more sure of his guess at this moment. It must be a smoke bomb thrown by Du En. The most important thing is to win the battle on whether to send troops or not.Now that you know what's going on, it's absolutely impossible for the other party to succeed.

"No." Du En replied happily.But he still didn't forget to add a sentence, "Although I haven't seen anyone, I still believe in this information. Therefore, according to what I mean, whether to send troops to Su Weng City needs to be studied carefully."

"Hahahaha." This answer finally aroused Ding Dingweiyin's uncontrollable laughter.If there is no explanation behind, maybe he can't be so sure, but he actually took the initiative to talk about the issue of sending troops, it means that there is no silver 300 taels here, and he is not asking for it.

After so many years of being the leftist minister, Ding Dingwei believed that he had already reached a very high level of so-called ability to observe words and emotions, and Du En's words were equivalent to corroborating his previous guess.

Now that a decision has been made, Ding Dingwei is not looking at Du En at the moment, but turns to face Boromo and clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, this news is not credible, and it is completely groundless. So please give me your majesty's holy order, It is permitted to send reinforcements to Su Weng's front line, and when the time is right, we will counterattack with all our strength, recover the lost ground, and show our country's prestige, which is also the king's prestige."

Ding Dingwei finally made a move. Du En, who had been waiting for a long time, also turned around and clasped his fists and said to Boromo, "Your Majesty, I think this news is true, and it is also the same as my previous speculation, so I am sure that your majesty will send troops cautiously, even I can use my official position as a guarantee, if the news is not true, I am willing to resign from my position in two days and return to my hometown."

"Ok?"

"Ok?"

At this moment, both Boromo and Ding Dingwei were shocked by Du En's words, and they did not expect this scene at all.

Originally, after hearing Ding Dingwei's words, Boromo could basically confirm that this was a false information specially made by Du En in order to delay sending reinforcements, so he was still a little angry in his heart.He can allow the two prime ministers to fight each other, but the premise is that the development of the country cannot be disturbed, otherwise, he will not hesitate to pick up a big knife and chop off the head.But suddenly Du En was so confident that he gambled with power. At this moment, he hesitated.

It wasn't just Boromo who thought this way, the leftist Ding Dingwei was also caught off guard by Du En's move.

what happened?But it's just a plan to delay it. How did you make such a big bet?Why did the prime minister dare to make such a big bet?What is he relying on?

Ding Dingwei looked at Du En seriously, but he couldn't tell anything from his face, especially at this moment he deliberately closed his eyes, which made him feel that he had nowhere to start and nowhere to analyze.

The hall became quiet because of this, both the king and the left minister were shocked by Du En's bold words, and they had to wonder if their thoughts just now were really wrong?

At some point, Du En had already opened his eyes, and then he said in a non-surprising way, "This information must be true. Not only must we stop the increase in troops, but we must also find a way to negotiate peace with the mercenaries. The earlier the talks, the more sincere we are, and the less we will pay. On the contrary, when the overall situation is settled, we will have to pay several times the price for peace talks."

Well-meaning is now the best way to describe Du En.Judging from what he meant, it was entirely for the sake of the Phnom Penh Dynasty to reduce losses, and it seemed to have nothing to do with any power struggle.

"This" King Boromo was indeed frightened by Du En's courage, and hesitated involuntarily.But before he could say anything, Ding Dingwei, Prime Minister of the Left, also spoke in a shocking tone, "I think this news is false. Although the mercenaries are powerful, their strength is limited, so it is impossible At the same time to block the armies of Siam and Ava, it is the right time to increase the troops, and I am willing to guarantee my position, if I am wrong, I will retire and return to my hometown."

Well, Ding Dingwei also spent his money, and what he said was so sure, now Boramo became in a dilemma.

It is said that such a thing would not happen in general, the official word is two mouthful, how can there be.Real officials, especially important ministers, are very measured in their words. Even if they are more than 90.00% sure, they generally don't say dead words. He always leaves a way out for himself, doesn't he?

But today, the two prime ministers are betting on their official positions, and the opinions they give are still so different. This is so abnormal, and it makes Boramo even more hesitant.

Du En, on the other hand, first showed a look of surprise, and then he was overjoyed.Someone finally jumped into this pit, and he was still an old opponent. At this moment, he really wanted to shout out to vent his excitement.

I was so excited in my heart, but on the surface, Du En suppressed the excitement, clasped his fists and said to Ding Dingwei, "Okay, Mr. Zuo Xiang, if that's the case, we might as well make a bet, and we will see it in two days." I understand. But I still say that if I was thinking about peace talks with the mercenaries at that time, the price I paid would definitely be more."

"Let's take a gamble, but I still support the increase of troops. If the dispatch of troops is late, we can't afford to lose any losses on the front line." Ding Dingwei said without hesitation.Afterwards, he didn't go to see Du En, but put all his attention on King Boromo. Obviously, he was obeying the king's order now.

The two prime ministers each used their official positions as bets, and they talked about their incomparable self-confidence. In this way, it was Boramo who had a headache.This is different from the result he expected. He wants to support whoever side's argument is reasonable, but now that they are all so strong, how should this decision be made?

He really wanted to insert his hands into his hair to calm down, and Boromo knew that if he did this, he would lose the king's demeanor, but facing the two prime ministers, he had to give an explanation. After much deliberation, he finally decided to continue. He Ximu, you can't make the decision yourself, so let the facts make the decision. "Okay, even if the two prime ministers believe in their negotiations so much, why don't you all calm down and wait a moment, there should be news in two days, and then the king will know how to make a decision. "

.

Chapter 627 Of course it was a joke

The king actually chose to wait, and Ding Dingwei's expression changed, "Your Majesty, you can't do this. This is what some people are planning to delay. If this happens, there will be big problems if there are no reinforcements ahead."

"Your Majesty, what should be done now is not to send any reinforcements, but to immediately send envoys for peace talks to contact the mercenaries. Only in this way can the incident be quelled at the lowest cost. There are many dreams in the night." Du En also shouted there, looking He looked very anxious, but only he knew in his heart how happy he was at this moment, he had already cheated Ding Dingwei, and he just had to wait two days to see the result.

As for whether the king agrees to the current peace talks, anyway, he is not the one who loses. People are not in a hurry, so why is he in a hurry.

The two prime ministers wanted to quarrel again, and Boromo suddenly felt dizzy, and said in a somewhat angry voice, "Okay, okay, it's just that nothing big will happen in two days tonight, and the matter will be settled like this." Come down, don't talk too much."

The king was angry, both Ding Dingwei and Du En knew enough was enough, but they both stared at each other, saluted and left the palace.

Not long after the two left, the whole story of the matter began to spread.First, some important ministers knew about this matter, but soon the common people in the street also knew it very clearly.King Boromo didn't say anything about this. He even knew that the two prime ministers must have spread the news on purpose, just to demolish each other.And it's better for him to keep himself out of the way, so that he can hold more initiative.

His Majesty the King is preparing to watch the excitement, especially the officials and people below.And they soon formed two factions, and began to have a heated discussion on who would win.
