Chapter 381: Turn the other cheek

As she spoke, she sighed unconsciously.

Su Zixu turned around, caught the strange look between her eyebrows, and said with a smile: "I don't know if General Ye is injured, he is so old, he has not yet started a family, and injuries are common on the battlefield, and there is not even a person who hurts him." ”

Liuli was stunned, and then her face was dyed a hint of crimson.

Su Zixu turned his head and smiled helplessly, sighing that fate is really a wonderful thing.

"Liuli, if you have the intention of marrying in the future, this palace will fulfill you. Su Zixu said.

If she had a choice, she would not enter the palace, and after staying for a long time, her heart would be numb, and it would be a happier thing to be an ordinary person in an ordinary family. Liuli is still young, and if she really meets the right person, she also wants her to be happy.

Liuli's face was stained with a touch of girlish shyness, and said, "Master, the slave is willing to follow you to the death." ”

Su Zixu smiled and said: "This is the promise given to you by this palace, as long as you want, this palace can fulfill it at any time." ”

She believes that Ruri will come to her one day. Her fate has arrived, and whether she can grasp it depends on herself.

……

"Report, Your Majesty, the envoy of Mo Yanguo asks to see you. "Inform the guards to run into the hall and return.

Emperor Yan lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said coldly: "Xuan." ”

The envoy of Mo Yanguo walked in slowly, everyone's eyes were focused on them, and they stood in the hall with a calm expression.

Several people arched their hands and said, "See the emperor." ”

Emperor Yan didn't raise his eyes, and looked intently at the folds on the table, and several of them stood there in embarrassment.

Several envoys looked at each other, and after a while, one of them said with a natural expression: "Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Yan smiled lightly: "Everyone, Aiqing, do you have something to do?"

Those ministers didn't react for a while, and after being stunned for a long time, Feng Shangshu stood up and arched his hand: "Back to the emperor, Mo Yanguo is unwilling to withdraw his troops, and Weichen suggests strengthening the troops." ”

The smile on Emperor Yan's face became deeper and deeper, but several messengers changed their faces one after another, and the corners of their mouths twitched, changing into the color of pig liver, which was very ugly.

"Please strengthen the emperor's troops. The others reacted and chimed in.

The envoy of Mo Yanguo really couldn't sit still, and stood there stiffly, not a person inside and outside. Emperor Yan kept them hanging there, and when the matter was almost over, he squinted at a few envoys and said, "A few envoys have come from afar, do you have something important?"

The envoys' faces turned red, and one of them became angry, and his tone changed instantly, and said, "Your Majesty, our monarch asked us to bring a message to you." Our monarch can cease the war, there is only one condition, take Concubine Shen in exchange. ”

It is so deceitful that they are also messengers, and they regard them as empty things.

Emperor Yan commanded expressionlessly: "Come on, the envoy of Mo Yanguo is disrespectful, press down." ”

The emperor's face was obviously as usual, but the majesty of the years was overwhelming, and people were unconsciously frightened.

As soon as Emperor Yan's words fell, a guard stepped forward and pressed the envoy down, a few of them didn't expect Emperor Yan to really do this, and a messenger said loudly: "Your Majesty, we are the envoys of Mo Yan Kingdom, you can't do this to us." ”

As soon as the words came out, he was tightly covered by the guards and dragged down.

When the palace returned to calm, Feng Shangshu walked out and frowned: "Your Majesty, although those envoys are offended, they are from Mo Yanguo after all, will it be biased to put them in prison?"

His worries are not unreasonable, the envoys of Mo Yanguo represent the face of the monarch of Mo Yanguo, and taking them in is equivalent to taking in the monarch, Mo Yanguo is not pure-minded, if he deliberately lets those envoys speak disrespectfully and take the opportunity to continue attacking, he is afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses.

"Nanfeng Kingdom, it's not a place where they can come and say whatever they want, before Mo Yanguo retreated, those envoys were temporarily imprisoned in the prison, serving me with delicious food and drink. The majesty and dignity of the emperor are all displayed here, Feng Shangshu didn't dare to say anything, and the other ministers also kept silent, only saying that the emperor was wise.

Soon after Emperor Yan came down to the early dynasty, good news reached the palace, Ye Lan won the battle and forced the soldiers of Mo Yanguo to retreat from Fengyiguan to Shuangliangguan.

Emperor Yan was naturally happy, he underestimated Mo Xuanlin too much a few days ago, thinking that he would soon retire from the army, but he didn't expect that the battle would be more than a month, and there was no progress in the battle, and he couldn't spit it out in his heart in one breath, but now he is finally much more comfortable.

In the evening, he went to the Living Palace, and as soon as he saw Su Zixu, his butt was still hot, so he shared the good news: "Ye Lan has won the battle in the past two days. ”

Su Zixu knew that Emperor Yan was very happy in his heart, and congratulated with a smile: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, concubine." ”

She had been observing the progress of the battle, and she knew that he would not send Concubine Shen out. Even if the fight is mixed and the lives are ruined, with his temperament, he will never exchange a woman for the peace between the two countries.

Emperor Yan grabbed her with his gentle hand, patted her gently, pulled her to sit down on the soft couch, and said, "A few envoys came today, and they made insulting remarks in the main hall, and I sent them to prison.

Su Zixu was surprised.

After all, Emperor Yan is no longer the thoughtful and able emperor he was at the beginning. In the big battle with Mo Yanguo, when those envoys came, they provoked them in the main hall three or four times, and Emperor Yan was able to receive them without changing his face, and secretly made some small moves. It was the first time that punishment had been ordered directly up and down the main hall like this.

She understands him, Emperor Yan used three years to work hard to govern the Nanfeng Kingdom in an orderly manner, and now the Nanfeng Kingdom is strong, and it is no longer afraid of Mo Yan Kingdom, the only country that can match before.

Nanfeng country is rich in products, other countries have been eyeing the tiger, two years ago several small countries around it really couldn't sit still, joined forces to attack, less than three days were beaten to the ground, so far, Nanfeng country is famous, no one dares to give birth to other thoughts.

For the women of the harem, Emperor Yan may not be a good husband, but for the people, he is indeed a good monarch, with the capital to stand out from the crowd and be empty-sighted.

During this time, the stalemate between the two countries was because Mo Yanguo sent the most sophisticated army, with more than 100,000 people, while the army of Nanfeng Kingdom was only 50,000 people. There is a large difference in the number of people, and it is naturally laborious to fight.

Su Zixu pondered for a while, and responded with a smile: "The concubine thinks that the emperor's approach is very good. ”

If she was the emperor, the envoys of Mo Yanguo would have been splashed with blood on the spot. The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, not to mention that the national strength of the Nanfeng country is strong, even if it is a small country, the envoys of the Mo Yan country do not dare to act for the tiger when they come here, they are openly provocative, and it is cheap for them to go to prison.

……

Su Zixu slept extremely unsteadily for two days in a row, tossing and turning in the middle of the night, always feeling that something was about to happen.

On this day, she was just lying in bed when there was a slight sound of footsteps in her ears, and she subconsciously sat up and saw a dark shadow flashing outside the window.
