Chapter 563: Discussing the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations

"Don't say it, it's better to say that I have a daughter directly, these two little guys are noisy all day long, although it is lively, but it is still a little noisy. ”

Song Shuyan was made fuss by Zhiyun and Shen Muyan every day, looking at the inseparable Zhiyun and Shen Muyan, Song Shuyan couldn't help but complain to Ouyang Xue about the bitterness.

"Every morning, Mu Yan wants to exercise in the morning, and I hear the two children chattering early, and I am also worried, and I always can't sleep in the morning. ”

Song Shuyan poured a cup of tea for Ouyang Xue while complaining, Ouyang Xue took the tea in Song Shuyan's hand, nodded and replied.

"You are pregnant, and sometimes you can't take care of it, so you can ask the maid to take care of it for you, don't worry too much. Ouyang Xue took a sip of tea and instructed Song Shuyan.

However, although he was complaining, Song Shuyan still looked at Ouyang Xue with a happy expression.

"Noisy, I see that you are enjoying it, both children and daughters, how happy, I hope I give birth to a daughter. ”

Ouyang Xue smiled and touched her belly, then looked at Song Shuyan's belly and said, "Speaking of which, the child in your belly is about to be born." ”

"It's still early, it's only been more than three months now, but you, don't come to the palace again during this period of time, and raise the baby at home. ”

Song Shuyan in turn began to worry about Ouyang Xue, after all, Ouyang Xue was punched and kicked by Shen Zecang before and almost miscarried, and now the child in Ouyang Xue's belly is naturally very precious.

"By the way, where did this little girl come from, I didn't come a few days ago, and when I came today, I found that the two of them were together without any guesswork. ”

Ouyang Xue asked Song Shuyan about Zhiyun's situation while drinking tea, and Song Shuyan did not shy away from it, and directly answered Ouyang Xue's question.

"Before, because of Shen Zecang's matter, didn't I send Shen Muyan's child to the Medicine King Valley, this little girl is the little junior sister of the Medicine King Valley, the two of them have a good relationship, when I want to bring Shen Muyan back, she is unwilling. ”

Song Shuyan looked at Zhi Yun, then at Shen Muyan, and then continued: "This girl is lively and active, just take Shen Muyan to play, and it's not good to sit and read all day." ”

"Yes, what's this child's name?" Ouyang Xue looked at it for a while, and also felt that Zhi Yunsheng was beautiful and likable.

"Zhiyun, it's a good name," Song Shuyan replied truthfully, and then began to complain to Ouyang Xue again, "The two children are also noisy, so I can't be clean all day." ”

At this time, Shen Zeyuan was discussing state affairs with Xu Yanyan and Gu Fengmian, although Shen Zecang of his own country had solved it, but Wu still had to have an explanation.

"What should I do on the Wu side, although there is a truce for the time being, I feel that after Wu Qingge rests, he will still provoke a war. ”

Shen Zeyuan's face was full of worry, and he asked the opinions of the ministers, and wanted to discuss a few countermeasures.

Shen Zeyuan's worries are not unreasonable, Wu Qingge is bent on annexing the Great Li Dynasty, and when he cooperated with Shen Zecang before, he showed an irresistible trend.

If it weren't for Shen Zecang's lack of success and more failures, maybe Wu Qingge would have really succeeded at that time, and now whenever Shen Zeyuan thinks of the previous incident, he has to raise his vigilance against Wu Guo.

"According to the minister, the affairs of the Wu State really have to be settled, but whether to fight or make peace is still up to Your Majesty. ”

"Wu is now a weakened country, so it is better to take this opportunity to annex it with one sentence, and there will be less worries, what do you think, Your Majesty?"

"No, now our country has just finished fighting, and the army is still recuperating, and forcing a war will only lose our troops. ”

"Then if there is no war, what if the Wu State makes a comeback? When the time comes, the same war, it is better to annex the Wu State in one go!"

"You said lightly, we lost a lot of troops in the last war, and it is not a simple matter to recruit troops in a short period of time, besides, the grain and grass for horses, and the ammunition for fighting need to be prepared in advance. ”

······

The ministers had a lot of discussions, and each of them had different opinions, some insisted on sending troops to fight and annex Wu in one fell swoop, while others resolutely opposed the war and proposed the establishment of diplomatic relations peacefully.

Shen Zeyuan listened to it for a while, and felt that what everyone said made sense, but his heart was still biased towards the establishment of peaceful diplomatic relations, after all, Song Shuyan was about to give birth now, and the second child said that he could no longer live in war.

Gu Fengmian also agreed to establish diplomatic relations peacefully, and like Shen Zeyuan, his wife was about to give birth, and if he sent troops to fight, he would definitely go to the border pass.

"Okay, what the Aiqing said makes sense, but in my opinion, it is better to establish diplomatic relations peacefully, and it is better to use this time to rest and recuperate, and if there is a war in the future, it will be easy to deal with it. ”

Shen Zeyuan thought about it and decided to establish diplomatic relations with Wu State, since when it comes to establishing diplomatic relations, it is more useful to have political marriages, and now it is a matter of marriage.

"Your Majesty, if diplomatic relations are established, it must be married, it is better to ······" A minister suddenly spoke up, "It's better for you to marry Wu Qingge, Your Majesty, and in this way, the military strength of Wu is also in our hands." ”

Hearing the minister's proposal to marry Wu Qingge, Shen Zeyuan was first surprised, and then amused, so he went back with ease.

"Then why don't you marry Wu Qingge? The military power is in your hands, and Wu Qingge has the appearance of a captivating city, so you won't suffer. ”

Hearing the emperor say this, the minister immediately shut up.

Xu Yanyan, who was on the side, spoke, he neither supported sending troops to fight nor supporting the peaceful establishment of diplomatic relations, but since Shen Zeyuan chose to establish diplomatic relations peacefully, then Xu Yanyan was only responsible for coming up with clever plans.

"Emperor Qi, according to the ministers, if Your Majesty has no idea of marriage for the time being, it is better to choose a woman from the clan lady to marry the little emperor of Wu State. ”

Shen Zeyuan thought about it and felt that Xu Yanyan was right, so he nodded and replied:

"This is also a good way, so as to avoid a head-to-head confrontation with Wu Qingge, the little emperor is not yet mentally mature, and it is naturally easier to deal with him than Wu Qingge. ”

"So, who to choose to marry Emperor Wu Guoxiao, I'm afraid that everyone is afraid of going to a foreign country alone, after all, it is very dangerous. ”

At this time, Gu Fengmian put forward his own ideas, which made the ministers fall silent.

"In this regard, there is no need to worry, I already have a candidate in mind. Shen Zeyuan was full of confidence, and he had already decided in his heart who would marry Emperor Wu Guoxiao.

After discussing with several ministers, Shen Zeyuan finally selected the county lord of the Xi Dynasty.
