Chapter 638: Conditions
Could it be that the Qin Wangfu still didn't dare to blatantly rebel, and wanted to pretend to stage a play to support the young emperor, and then replace him?
After all, no matter how mediocre the emperor is, he has been an emperor for many years, and it is not easy to deal with, but if it is replaced by an ignorant little doll, it will be too easy!
And this child, if she had given birth - then her ending would have been very different!
As soon as such a thought came to mind, a certain thread in Wei Wan's mind stretched out for thousands of miles at once, and his imagination flowed together.
As she walked back to the main hall, she kept thinking about it.
Even when she sat next to the emperor and faced the courtiers' wives, she was still thinking about it.
If she can give birth to a prince, if the emperor finally suppresses the Qin Palace, her position as queen will still be stable, if the Qin Palace, she will not be abandoned uselessly, if she is lucky, she may be able to become the queen mother!
The Queen Mother is not only the most noble woman in this country, but also represents that she has her own status and dependence, which is the best ending she can get!
Such a thought made Wei Wan's heart throb, and her hands almost trembled!
The Emperor found out that her mind did not belong, and gently took her hand:
"Why do you look unhappy, someone is you off?"
When the handsome emperor was gentle, it was enough to eclipse everything in front of her.
She shook her head, but looked at the emperor for a long time.
Such a person, even if his love for her is just an empty mirror, she can't catch it, she can't get it, but if she can give birth to his child, in addition to those entanglements of interests, it can be regarded as a kind of compensation and comfort for her destined sad life, right?
With such a mood, Wei Wan's heart suddenly became hot.
After the banquet was over, she hurried back to Zhaoyang Hall and ordered someone to summon the imperial doctor.
It happened to be Imperial Doctor Wang, seeing that Wei Wan's face was solemn and he didn't speak, he just asked him to diagnose the pulse, although he had some doubts in his heart, he still seriously diagnosed Wei Wan.
"There is nothing wrong with the queen's mother and phoenix being healthy. β
Imperial Physician Wang bowed and replied.
Wei Wan hesitated, but still asked:
"Then the imperial physician thinks that the body of this palace is suitable for pregnancy?"
She really had a round with the emperor after the third conjuring of spirits in March, although it was less than two months, but every time she secretly drank turnip soup afterwards, so she was a little worried.
The imperial physician immediately understood, and sure enough, the concubines in this harem, from the queen to the nobles, no matter how favored they were, the most important thing was still the heir.
He laughed back:
"The queen's phoenix body is extremely healthy, and it is naturally suitable for giving birth to children. β
A look of joy appeared in Wei Wan's eyes, but it didn't take long for her to turn into worry - others didn't know, but she knew, the sleeping incense that Zhan Shichun used for the emperor has not stopped until now, who knows if the sleeping incense will affect the emperor's body?
"Then dare to ask the imperial doctor, the emperor's body ......"
Wei Wan swallowed, but Imperial Physician Wang replied:
"The emperor is the true son of the dragon, protected by gods and Buddhas, and the dragon body is naturally very healthy!
Wei Wan's smile bloomed suddenly.
She is in good health, and the emperor's body is fine, as long as she doesn't drink turnip soup anymore, then sooner or later they will have a child!
Wei Wan quietly stroked her flat lower abdomen, thinking that she would have a prince in the future, her expression was extremely gentle, but she didn't notice the cold look of the palace maid who combed her hair behind the curtain.
Because the imperial physician is the emperor's most trusted imperial physician, he is usually responsible for asking for peace for the emperor, so as soon as Wei Wan summoned the imperial physician, the emperor immediately knew.
The emperor was discussing the treaty of peace with Hu Bang with the courtiers who stayed after the banquet in the imperial study, as well as the candidate to escort the eldest princess Huixin to make peace, and when he heard Liu Defu say this, he immediately left the courtiers and hurried back to Zhaoyang Palace.
Wei Wan only heard a rush of footsteps, and when she looked up, the emperor was already seated beside her.
"What's going on, but what's wrong with it?"
Wei Wan raised her face and smiled like a flower:
"No, it was the concubine who accidentally remembered that the concubine had come to the emperor's side for more than half a year, and she hadn't been able to give birth to a dragon heir for the emperor, so she was afraid that others would gossip, so she simply let the imperial doctor come to take a look, if there was nothing wrong, the concubine would be relieved. β
"You want to have a baby for me?"
The emperor's expression seemed to be happy and sad, and such a rhetorical question made Wei Wan feel a sigh in her heart:
"Your Majesty, don't you like it?"
"No, I like it very much!" the emperor held Wei Wan in his arms, not letting her see the expression of joy and sorrow in his eyes.
Finally, they can change the fate of their previous lives!
"Cheng Huan, in our life, we will definitely have a group of children and grandchildren. β
The word "Cheng Huan" made Wei Wan feel very uncomfortable, but she didn't say anything at all-since the tributes made a fuss because of this name, it was pointless to talk about it.
She let out a low "um", and most of her original joy was gone.
As soon as Bai Chenghuan stepped into the Qin Palace, Xiao Shaotang greeted him, and it seemed that he didn't know how long he had waited.
"Why don't you stay in there and run out to do something? Aren't you afraid that if I bring someone back and see you as soon as I enter the door?"
Bai Chenghuan said with a smile, but Xiao Shaotang looked her up and down before he put his mind at ease.
"Don't you know that I'm not at ease?" Xiao Shaotang's eyebrows, the smile from the bottom of his heart at the corners of his eyebrows and eyes made him as dazzling as a shining light in the afternoon sun, and his warm gaze could almost melt her.
He held her hand tightly in his palm, with some regret:
"I couldn't accompany you and let you be bullied, I can't stand you! The palace is a tiger's den in Longtan, although there are Hou Ye and his wife to protect you, in the end, you still can't prevent it!"
Bai Chenghuan was surprised:
"Someone bullied me? How did I not know?"
Xiao Shaotang's brows tightened:
"Wei Wan forced you to salute her, isn't this bullying?"
"This, what kind of bullying is this...... Bai Chenghuan couldn't cry and laughed: "She is the queen, and I am just a subject, what is there to salute, I am afraid that I will not go." β
"But I don't want you to salute those people. β
The sunshine under Xiao Shaotang's eyes turned into a haze: "Huanhuan, you wait, I will speed up my pace and let his world overturn as soon as possible!"
Bai Chenghuan's heart jumped, and he quickly reached out and pinched him fiercely on his arm!
"Xiao Shaotang, I know that you have ambitions and ambitions, but you will remember to me at any time, and you must never become a person who only has interests in his eyes and lust for power!"
Xiao Shaotang was in pain, almost jumped up, and said aggrievedly:
"Where do I have the right to lust for my heart? I only have you in my eyes!"
Bai Chenghuan was originally ready to teach him a lesson, but as soon as he said this, her face turned red, and she wanted to pinch his hand again, no matter what, she couldn't get down, and couldn't help glaring at him several times:
"It's going to be a flamboyant quibble......"
"Where am I quibbling, don't you want us to fulfill our wish sooner?"
"I naturally hope that our wish will be fulfilled as soon as possible, and the great revenge will be avenged, I will warn you first!"
"Don't worry, with you, I can't see anything else!"
Xiao Shaotang still had a hippie smile, and Bai Chenghuan was a little helpless.
In fact, she also knew that she was worried in vain, and from the bottom of her mind, Xiao Shaotang was not such a person.
But the world is treacherous, people's hearts are changeable, who can guarantee that after ascending to the peak of power of the Ninety-Five, people will not change?
Fortunately, Xiao Shaotang knew what she was worried about, and when he walked into Chang'anju, he solemnized his expression and promised her:
"Don't worry, as long as you are by my side, I will always be the me in front of you. β
Seeing him so serious, Bai Chenghuan was inexplicably happy:
"That's very good. β
Xiao Shaotang really wanted to pull the emperor down.
Now that the emperor has successfully summoned spirits, people have gradually sobered up a little, and if he is completely sober, then everything will have to start all over again.
He didn't know how sure he would be by then. That's why he was a little more eager in front of Bai Chenghuan, but it made her worry in vain.
Xiao Shaotang thought about it, and asked Bai Chenghuan to write him the four big words "Don't forget the original intention" and hung them in his study to appease Bai Chenghuan's heart.
Shaking Hui knew the cause and effect, so he secretly laughed:
"His Royal Highness the Prince is too careful with the princess, it's really rare!"
Bai Chenghuan was rare and did not refute or be shy, but hooked his head and smiled:
"Yes, I'm lucky to meet him in this life. β
After the farewell banquet for Xiao Huixin was over, the signing of the covenant between Daqi and Hu Bang was put on the agenda.
The emperor and Fang Handong both meant that Hu Bang would bow down to Daqi from now on and pay tribute every year, but Jin Nandong and the second prince Hazan disagreed.
Such a covenant is not a peace negotiation at all, but it is like a book, they came all the way to the capital, but they did not come to surrender to the emperor.
The reason why Hu Bang is willing to negotiate peace is only because he wants to reopen trade with the border of Daqi, and he wants to recuperate and recuperate.
The two sides froze, and you and I went back and forth several times before the treaty was finalized in mid-May.
The two sides agreed that the border should be reopened for trade in accordance with the brotherly countries, and the two sides should not encroach on each other.
This is also the only place where the Hu people can give in, after all, the Hu people do not do handiwork, such as gold, silver and ironware, and many other daily necessities are dependent on Daqi.
At this point, it should have been a happy situation for both parties, but unexpectedly, on the day of signing the covenant, there were waves again.
On May 17, the day when the two sides signed the covenant, the Ministry of Rites made all kinds of preparations early in the morning, and the emperor also sent a bachelor who was proficient in the Hu language, lest Daqi suffer a little loss because of the difference in writing.
Who knew that after Hazan and Jin Nandong arrived, Hazan didn't say anything, but Jin Nandong put forward an additional condition.
"It's okay to sign the covenant today, but the Emperor of Great Qi must promise us that the northwest will be guarded by the Qin Wangfu for generations in the future, so that we can rest assured that we can sign an alliance with Great Qi!"
Fang Handong's face immediately changed:
"What do you mean by that?"
And the emperor on the golden throne was furious in an instant:
"I see that you have no sincerity in the peace talks at all, and you are deliberately making things difficult! Why should you decide the guards of the Great Qi? How much benefit did the King of Qin give you?"
Zhao Shizhen, the secretary of the military department, was also angry in his heart, and after listening to the emperor's words, he felt that the sound was wrong - the emperor's meaning, that is, the Hu people said such things, is it the collusion between the King of Qin and the Hu people?
I saw Jin Nandong replied unhurriedly:
"The emperor also asks to calm his anger, the reason why we say such things is because the king of Qin understands the importance of peaceful coexistence to the people better than others, and only the king of Qin guards the northwest can we believe that Daqi will be good neighbors with us for generations. β
"Excuses, you're all excuses! I won't believe it!"
Before Jin Nandong could say anything more to explain, the emperor had already gotten up and roared, and then brushed his sleeves away:
"I will never agree to such conditions, love and talk about peace or not!"
The signing of the covenant was interrupted, and the emperor continued to accuse the Qin king of collaborating with the enemy and treason in the imperial study.
Zhao Shizhen's head was immediately overshadowed.
"Your Majesty, do you think this is possible, it is the trick of the Hu people, and then divide the relationship between you and the King of Qin?"
After all, the King of Qin is known as the God of War, and he just defeated the Hu people last year, could it be that the intention of them to say this is to make the emperor suspicious of the King of Qin, so as to weaken the military power of the King of Qin?
You must know that if there is no King Qin in the northwest, then the northwest of Great Qi will not become a piece of fat mutton in the eyes of the evil wolf in the eyes of the Hu people?
Zhao Shizhen can think of this, and Fang Handong can naturally think of it, the two rivals, at this time, the opinions are surprisingly consistent.
So the two took turns to speak to the emperor, and after a day of anger, the emperor's mind finally wavered.
It is true that he hates and hates everyone in the Qin Palace, but he also does not want to be calculated by the Hu people!
Xiao Shaotang and Bai Chenghuan were also very surprised when they heard the news, what did Hu Ren want to do? They almost subconsciously thought that Hu Ren was trying to plant a false accusation in front of the emperor.
It was the order that Wei Wan received, and it was also to persuade the emperor to sign an alliance and not to give the Hu people a chance.
After two or three days, the persuasion of the courtiers and the empress in turn played a role, and the emperor agreed to this condition "with hatred and humiliation".
As a result, this covenant, which had little benefit to Daqi, was signed.
The emperor didn't show it on his face, but he hated it to the extreme, and after signing the covenant, he immediately summoned two secret guards to give an order.
"The two of you go to the northwest, if the king of Qin is slightly wrong, you will be killed!"
Because the secret guards only obeyed the emperor's orders in the past dynasties, the two of them did not be as verbose as the courtiers, and simply left Beijing on the same day.
And after doing this, the emperor's heart was much calmerβeven if he promised to let them guard the northwest for generations?
On the day Xiao Huixin left Beijing, the emperor's attitude was also very gentle, and he even went to see Xiao Huixin off in person.
When Xiao Huixin left Beijing, the emperor's attitude was very gentle, and he even went to see him off in person.
