The news that Ye Lan was caught in the enemy camp soon spread to Nanfeng Kingdom, and the court was shocked, and Emperor Yan was furious.

Prime Minister Yuan and Feng Shangshu were summoned to see the emperor overnight, and they stayed in the Heart Cultivation Hall for half an hour before leaving the palace.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that this matter should not be taken lightly, Mo Yanguo is menacing, and now General Ye has been ambushed by the enemy army and captured the enemy camp, so he should think about it in the long run. Feng Shangshu's voice sounded in the main hall, trembling with excitement.

"Your Majesty, Weichen does not agree with what Feng Shangshu said, now that our national strength is strong, we can't grow the morale of others to destroy our own prestige, since Mo Yanguo ignores the original agreement, we should strengthen our troops and take the opportunity to subdue them. Prime Minister Yuan took two steps forward and retorted.

"Prime Minister Yuan, this is a bad statement, although our national strength is strong, Mo Yanguo is not, they have been recuperating for the past three years, and what they are waiting for is this time. We don't know what their purpose is, and if they attack rashly, they will be caught in their hands and ambushed. What's more, the people have just recuperated for three years, and they haven't lived a stable life yet, and if they want to go to war again, I'm afraid that they will lose the hearts of the people, Your Majesty. Wechen is in favor of peace. Feng Shangshu anxiously retorted back.

The war between the two countries just ended three years ago, and if there is another big war now, the turmoil in the country will definitely outweigh the losses.

Five years ago, although he was a civilian official, he was also sent to the military camp to discuss the war. Because he has personally contacted, he knows the pain of war better than anyone else, and in this life, he doesn't want to see Nanfeng Kingdom and other countries at war again.

Prime Minister Yuan shook his sleeves and snorted coldly: "Feng Shangshu, even if it is strong and strong, how can it be compared with our Nanfeng Kingdom, in my opinion, this battle must be fought." And it's not like you didn't hear what the messengers said in the main hall that day, and they wanted us to exchange a woman for peace between the two countries, which is really a joke. ”

The two of them quarreled again, you and I said one by one, no one let anyone, and the sound of fierce quarrels resounded in the hall.

Emperor Yan watched coldly, and when they were almost finished, he said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's stop." ”

Only then did the two men stop arguing, looked at each other and snorted coldly, and at the same time turned their faces away.

"Please make a decision as soon as possible. Prime Minister Yuan arched his hand.

Weichen implored the emperor to think twice. Feng Shangshu continued, not willing to give in at all.

Yuan Cheng was almost so angry that he blew his nose and glared.

Emperor Yan pondered for a while, and said unhurriedly: "I came to you today to discuss this matter, and what you said makes sense, but I agree with Prime Minister Yuan's words, and decided to send troops to meet the enemy and fight another battle." ”

Prime Minister Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then a stretched smile appeared on his face, and Feng Shangshu wailed: "Your Majesty, you must not." ”

Emperor Yan coldly ordered: "Let's all retreat." ”

Feng Shangshu knew that he was speechless, so he had no choice but to retreat.

"Feng Shangshu, it's not me saying you, although we are civil ministers, but at the moment of national disaster, we should also have the arrogance of a military general, and those who retreat are not afraid of others laughing off their big teeth. After a few sarcastic words, Prime Minister Yuan shook his sleeves and left laughing.

"You ......" Feng Shangshu was speechless with anger, he sighed again and again, and walked out.

In fact, before that girl didn't let people pass the word to him, he had the same thoughts as Prime Minister Yuan, but after thinking about it carefully, he really shouldn't fight again. And what the girl told him to do was not done?

……

"Last night, Prime Minister Yuan and Feng Shangshu had a quarrel in front of me, and what everyone said made sense, but I finally decided to continue sending troops. Do you think I should send troops?" Emperor Yan asked slowly, dropping a white chess.

Su Zixu carefully considered it for a long time, and also left a son, and responded, "If the concubine says the wrong thing, please ask the emperor for forgiveness." ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

"The concubines shouldn't have said much about the affairs of the previous dynasty, but since the emperor asked, the concubines should answer. According to the opinion of the concubine, she agreed with Feng Shangshu's words. ”

Emperor Yan raised his eyebrows, and his eyes were surprised: "Oh?"

"Although the armistice conditions of Mo Yanguo sound unbounded, they can be used to test them, if what they say is true, the people can avoid the suffering of war, if they bluff people, do not keep their promises, and then the two armies will fight with the help of the people's public opinion, win a good name, it is a good strategy. The concubines are foolish, and the emperor is not surprised. ”

After Su Zixu finished speaking, he left another son and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the concubine has won." ”

She had a faint smile on her face, as if she was saying something completely unrelated.

Emperor Yan smiled lightly: "If Xu Xu is a man, he will definitely not lose to anyone, and maybe he will become my right-hand man." ”

Emperor Yan is sincerely praised, this woman, her intelligence is not inferior to anyone, and she is not inferior to him, the only pity is that she is a woman, otherwise she will definitely make a great achievement.

However, it is not a pity that such a woman can become his concubine.

Su Zixu laughed and said nothing.

She looked up at Emperor Yan and found that there was no strange look in his eyes, and she couldn't help but be full of suspicion.

Her words just now became more and more serious, and she didn't know if Emperor Yan really didn't care or if his mind was too hidden. It's just that he let him say it, she just told the truth, and there was no reason to be angry.

She said: "The concubine also hopes that she is a man and can solve problems for the emperor." ”

If she was a man, she would not have entered the palace as Emperor Yan's concubine, nor would she harm the Su family, let alone have so many things happening later.

It's a pity that there is no such word as if in this world, and many things that have happened have happened and are irreparable.

Even if she is a woman, she has the ability to do what she wants.

"I can't exchange a woman for peace between the two countries. Emperor Yan said.

Harmony has happened in all dynasties, but most of it is because of the disparity in national strength, and it is forced to do it, and they are all to let the princess go to kiss, and there has never been a harem concubine and kiss.

No emperor with a little courage and courage would agree to such an absurd and disgraceful thing for the royal family. Especially an emperor like Emperor Yan.

It is also strange to say that when Nanfeng Kingdom arrived at the generation of Emperor Yan, there was only one princess, that is, Emperor Yan's sister of the same mother, Princess Heyue, she married Jiangnan, and only returned to the capital once in three and five years.

In addition, there are several princes, most of whom died in the battle for the throne, and only one has a lame leg, living far away in Jiangnan, and the only one who is sound is Emperor Yan. Therefore, Emperor Yan has reigned for many years, and there has never been a rebellion in the palace by the king.

"What the emperor said is extremely true, it is the concubine who is ignorant. Su Zixu replied.

He knew that Emperor Yan would not agree to let Concubine Shen go to make peace, for himself and for the sake of the royal family's face.

The two of them played a game of chess again, and when they were halfway through, Su Zixu thought about it, and suddenly raised his head and asked, "Your Majesty, what if the person Mo Yanguo wants is not Concubine Shen?"

Emperor Yan's eyes flashed, with a slight coldness, and he said firmly: "No matter who it is, I will not allow it." ”
