Chapter 35: Zheng Guo's conditions
Looking at Nie Hongyu standing tall in front of him, Wu Qian was a little surprised, his own cultivation did not deter this middle-aged man. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info But Wu Qian never dared to release coercion on Nie Hongyu, because there was also a master in Beiliang whose strength was comparable to that of his own leader.
So, Wu Qian arched his hand and said: "Emperor Beiliang doesn't need to be nervous, the old man came this time to negotiate peace on behalf of Zheng Guo." ā
When the word "Yihe" came out of Wu Qian's mouth, there was an uproar in the court.
Zheng Guo and Northern Liang have been fighting for five consecutive years, and each time Zheng Guo took the initiative to attack, why did they suddenly come to negotiate peace?
Nie Hongyu took a few steps forward, and suddenly turned to Wu Qian and said, "Can you represent Zheng Guojun?"
At this moment, Wu Qian took out a jade pendant from his body: "This is a jade pendant given by Emperor Zhengguo, seeing this pendant is like seeing His Majesty himself." ā
took a closer look at the jade pendant in Wu Qian's hand, and saw that the jade pendant was as warm as water, the jade surface was crystal clear, and there was a faint trace of cold air diffusing from it.
Nie Hongyu slowly sat down on the dragon chair: "I believe you, let's say, what are the conditions for peace?"
Wu Qian's eyes looked around the courtiers, and then he said, "I, Emperor Zheng, am sincere in negotiating peace with you, and there are no conditions. ā
After a pause, Wu Qian continued: "However, in order to show your sincerity, His Majesty the Emperor of our Zheng State wants your daughter Nie Ling'er to marry his son. Since then, the two countries have always been on the good terms of Qin and Jin, and they have not invaded each other. How?"
"What?" Nie Hongyu's heart chuckled. "And what if I don't agree?"
"Don't agree?" Wu Qian's face instantly turned gloomy, "If you don't agree, it means that Northern Liang has no sincerity to negotiate peace at all, then our Zheng and Liang will be enemies for generations, and the war on the border will never stop!"
"Could it be that I, Beiliang, am afraid that you won't succeed?" Nie Hongyu was a little angry, and a faint majestic aura was released.
Feeling that anger, Wu Qian smiled playfully: "Hmph, I didn't expect that the Emperor of Northern Liang would not hesitate to put the people in the flames of war for the sake of one of his daughters, which really made the old man admire." ā
Nie Hongyu was about to speak, but Wu Qian instantly turned into a cyan figure and swept out of the hall, only to hear a long howl reaching everyone's ears: "Emperor Beiliang, I advise you to think about it carefully, if you figure it out, come to Mingyue Tower in the south of the city to find me." ā
After Wu Qian left, Nie Hongyu immediately summoned his ministers to discuss the matter. As a result, the ministers were divided into two factions, and the faction led by Nalan Rongruo thought that they should not agree to Zheng Guo's request, and the result of compromising was that the enemy became even more serious.
The faction led by Li Guangxi persuaded the emperor to immediately agree to Zheng Guo's request and adopt a peaceful approach in exchange for the peace of the Northern Liang State. Especially Li Guangxi, whose sons and grandsons are now stationed at the border passes, and once the war is over, they will be able to return to the capital.
"Your Majesty, since ancient times, there have been many examples of peace between the two countries in exchange for peace, after Princess Ling'er marries, presumably Zheng Guo will also treat her with courtesy, for the stability of the border people and the peace of the country, please Your Majesty must think twice!" Li Guangxi bowed deeply, looking worried about the country and the people.
Nie Hongyu is in a very bad mood at the moment, in his heart, he definitely doesn't want Nie Ling'er to marry to Zheng Guo, but countless soldiers have sacrificed their blood at the border, and as the king of a country, he can't even give up a daughter, and it will be chilling to spread it.
After the meeting, Nie Hongyu, who had a sad face, left sullenly, while the ministers of the two factions still held their own opinions, and the two sides broke up unhappily.
Back in the dormitory, Nie Hongyu sat in front of the desk and frowned, recalling the first time he saw Nie Ling'er, he liked it very much, watching her grow up day by day and become a little princess loved by everyone in the palace, whenever he thought of Ling'er's two shiny little tiger teeth, Nie Hongyu couldn't help but show a knowing smile.
The lively and lovely petite figure crawled onto his head playfully, pulling his hair and laughing: Father, father.
In the memory, this happy little girl knelt in front of her knees countless times, beating her father's legs with her little hands, and her bright eyes were full of happy light.
But then, the smile that just bloomed instantly froze on his face, and his beloved daughter was about to leave me, could she still be as happy as before?
Thinking of emotion, there are faint tears rolling in his eyes.
If I can't even protect my own daughter, then what kind of father is I? My future must not be exchanged for Ling'er's happiness.
However, I am not only a father, but also the king of a country, and although my daughter is precious, is it not true that the sons and daughters of millions of people on the border are not precious? As the king of a country, how can he put the people in fire and water for his own selfishness?
This is a difficult choice that every emperor will encounter, and Nie Hongyu is no exception. Since ancient times, emperors have been affectionate, for the well-being of hundreds of millions of people, and for the sake of the country, emperors can only sacrifice their own flesh and blood. In the end, only the emperor was left as an exclusive widow, a widow, a widow, isn't that what it means to be a person like me?
For a long night, Nie Hongyu's majestic figure sat in front of the case for a whole night, and the next morning, the ministers were surprised to find that His Majesty the Emperor of Beiliang had gray hair overnight, and a middle-aged man in his early forties looked twenty years old.
All the ministers knelt down and shouted, "Please take care of your majesty's dragon body!" Even Li Guangxi, who was in favor of marrying Nie Ling'er to Zheng Guo, couldn't help but look sideways, who doesn't know the hearts of parents in the world, who doesn't understand?
Nie Hongyu only said one sentence in the early morning: "I have decided to marry Nie Ling'er to Zheng Guo, and Zhong Aiqing does not need to persuade him." Retreat!"
When Nie Chen got this news, his mood sank suddenly, but he heard that Nie Hongyu had lost his head overnight for this matter, and then gradually understood his choice. How could Nie Chen, who had already been reincarnated for the third generation, not understand the difficulties of being an emperor?
He doesn't blame Nie Hongyu, he only blames his strength for being too weak, if he can have the cultivation like Nie Tianya, then he can go to Nie Hongyu and ask him to take back his life. Beiliang also does not need to be threatened by Zheng Guo.
But no matter what, Nie Chen would not let Nie Ling'er marry Zheng Guo far away.
At this moment, Nie Ling'er had already appeared at the door of Chenwang's mansion, and as soon as she entered the door, Ling'er pounced on Nie Chen's body, her big eyes full of tears: "Brother Nie Chen, my father doesn't want me anymore, woo woo!"
Nie Chen patted Ling'er's delicate neck lovingly, and said softly: "Ling'er, don't cry, my brother won't let them take you away!"
At this moment, in the Demon Realm, a huge palace stood out of thin air above a cloud that was pink. Inside the palace, there was the singing of birds and flowers, the trees were dense, and the golden leaves fluttered all over the sky, landing on the vast blue grass. Yes, the grass here is as blue as the sea, but the lake water is clear and holy, and the golden lotus flowers bloom on the surface of the lake covered with white mist, which looks like the Lingxiao Treasure Hall nine days away, but there is a bewitching aura everywhere.
A beautiful woman with a captivating face is standing on the railing overlooking the demon beings at her feet, her temperament is like frost dripping dew, the twilight snow is melting, her eyebrows and eyes are wide and horizontal, and the people are in her hands.
A man with a tiger's head was kneeling in front of the beautiful woman, and it was not difficult to see from his expression that he was full of respect for this beautiful woman.
"How's it going?" The beautiful woman's eyes were still looking at the demon world under her feet, but there was a voice that seemed to come from ancient times, and the faint sound reached the man's ears. The man stood up respectfully, lowered his head and sighed: "Back to Our Lady of the West, I have led people to search for the demon world, but there is no trace of her. ā
Seeing that the beautiful woman was still silent, the man continued: "Three days ago, Baguio and I opened the 'Nine Shadows Gathering Soul Array' to go to the underworld, but not only did we not find anyone, but we were almost discovered by Lord Hades, so we quickly fled back. ā
Hearing the man's words, the beautiful woman's eyes closed slightly, raised her head and took a deep breath. With the breath of the beautiful woman, the cloud that held the palace began to slowly shrink, and the color gradually changed from pale red to purple, and then to dark blue.
At the same time as the cloud contracted, the demon realm below suddenly became boiling, tigers and apes roared everywhere, beasts roared, and the birds in the sky stopped flapping their wings and slid towards their nests.
In the mountains, countless demon beasts fled in panic, desperately running away in the direction of their backs to the clouds. The powerhouses of the demon clan stepped on the vast land, but they all looked up nervously, beads of sweat rolled on their heads, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably.
After a long breath, the beautiful woman's face gradually calmed down, and at this time, the cloud gradually turned back to a pale red color, and its volume returned to its original speed visible to the naked eye. The demon realm below calmed down again
And in Cangzhou, Nie Chen and Nie Ling'er stayed by the lake in the Chenwang Mansion for a whole afternoon, two pairs of small hands clasped tightly together, and the younger sister's mouth kept telling something, but the elder brother wiped the tears from the corners of his sister's eyes with his sleeve countless times.
Looking at his sister Chu Chu's pitiful face, Nie Chen's heart seemed to be twisted together, and after pondering for a moment, Nie Chen raised his head suddenly: "Ling'er, let's just leave Beiliang!"
