Outside the palace. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Since Zhang Li fainted last time, he has been sick at home and refuses to go to court to discuss matters again. After many defeats on the front line, he didn't get the news, but he didn't want to help Han Xiu with advice.

With Han Xiu's current temperament, Dashun is bound to die in the country, so why should he struggle in vain?

"Zhang Xiang, there are people outside asking to see you! It was sent by Lord Shi. "Someone came to report.

"Shi Lao Fox? Didn't he leave Beijing? Zhang Li was stunned for a moment, remembering the last meeting with Shi Wen, and then nodded and said, "Bring people in!" ”

After a while, a man dressed as a small servant was brought in by the porter.

"What's the matter with Shi Shousuke?" Zhang Li glanced at the little guy, and for some reason, an awkward feeling rose in his heart. This little guy seems to be a little ...... I can't say what it feels like, but it's just a little weird.

Shi Jingyan took out the letterhead from her sleeve, took two steps forward, presented it to Zhang Li with one hand, and said, "When my father left, he left a letter, instructing me to hand it over to Zhang Xiang with my own hands. ”

"Father? You are...... Lady Van ?! Zhang Li frowned puzzled at first, and then, suddenly remembered something, and looked at Shi Jingyan with a shocked expression.

Shi Lao Fox has a total of four children, in addition to the second son who has died in battle, there are also the queen and Shi Bo who he is more familiar with, and only Shi Wen's youngest daughter, Mrs. Fan, is left.

Thinking of it just now, the "little guy" only used one hand to hand him the letterhead, and the other hand was obviously a little inconvenient, so he understood the identity of the person in front of him. This little guy who sent the letter turned out to be Shi Jingyan!

"Fan......" Zhang Li arched his hand and wanted to salute, but was interrupted by Shi Jingyan.

"Zhang Xiang doesn't have to be so polite, the woman is just here to deliver a letter, and she doesn't deserve your courtesy. Moreover, the Van butcher is dead, and there is no more Mrs. Van in this world. Shi Jingyan waved her hand calmly, with a decent smile on her face.

"Shi ......" Zhang Li opened his mouth and stopped awkwardly. He didn't know what to call the person in front of him, if he was called Shi Girl, the other party was already married; If you call Mrs. Fan, then the Fan butcher died because of the abuse of his wife, and it is obviously a shame for her to take the surname Van by the name of Fan.

So, what should I call it?

"Zhang Xiang doesn't have to be polite, it's still important to read the letter." Shi Jingyan bowed her head again.

"Yes, yes! Look at the letter, read the letter. Zhang Liyi said two voices in a row, obviously driven by emotions, and even the operation of his brain became slow.

He tried to retract his gaze, quickly opened the letterhead, took out the letter inside, shook his hands slightly, and after just one look, his eyelids trembled rapidly.

"This ...... This...... Is it really an epistle from Lord Shi? Zhang Li gasped, looked up at Shi Jingyan, then looked at the letter in his hand, and asked in disbelief, "Lord Shi, ...... Crazy? ”

Crazy?

Absolutely insane!

He expected that the emperor would take the queen as a hostage and give it to Chuyang, the king of the Northern Jin Dynasty, in exchange for peace between the two armies. However, not only did he not want to stop it, but he even pleaded with himself to facilitate it.

Not only that, Shi Wen also said in the letter that he wanted him to send the prince over.

Right! Prince!

The old fox used the word "prince"!

Not only did he not stop Han Xiu, but he also sent the queen and the crown prince to the Northern Jin Dynasty as hostages. And who this "prince" is, it is naturally self-evident.

Zhang Li didn't know what to say, and he didn't seem to understand every move of Shi Lao Fox. Whether it was when he was sick in the court for three months, or Shi Bo withdrew from the military department to go to disaster relief, every move of Shi Lao Fox revealed some indescribable deep meaning.

As long as the mystery is not revealed, no one will be able to understand his layout!

"The letter was handed over to the woman by her father, and she carried it with her all the time, without going through the hands of others." Shi Jingyan said lightly.

However, carrying it with you is the same as keeping it close to you!

Zhang Li's hand shook involuntarily, and the letter in his hand seemed to be hot, and he almost threw it out. Although he tried his best to control it, his cheeks were still faintly red.

"Can Zhang Xiang deal with this?" Shi Jingyan didn't think much about it, and asked very seriously.

Before leaving, her father told her that she must get this matter done, because it is related to the well-being of the entire Shi family. Only by accomplishing this matter can the Shi family jump out of the circle of fate!

"This ......" Zhang Li hesitated a little, thought about it for a while, and then agreed.

……

Palace.

Han Xiu waited for about an hour before waiting for Zhang Li's arrival.

"Zhang Aiqing, the army of the Northern Jin Dynasty has captured four cities, and it is about to reach Xianyang. It's a matter of life and death for the imperial court, and I really need your help this time. Han Xiu bowed to the end, and actually saluted Zhang Li first.

Zhang Li moved his body to the side, dodged Han Xiu's salute, and stretched out his hand to stabilize Han Xiu's body, and then said: "Your Majesty, you are torturing your subordinates, sharing worries and solving problems for the court, this is your duty as a courtier." ”

"It's my incompetence!" Han Xiu looked ashamed, and said with tears in his eyes: "It's my trust in the officials, my trust in the people, and my advice to Aiqing......"

"Nowadays, the army of the Northern Jin Dynasty is rampant, and our dynasty is invincible. At the time of life and death, I have an idea, but I just need Aiqing's help. Han Xiu slowly reined in his sadness, revealing a sad and unbearable expression.

Zhang Li still didn't speak, just looked at him silently.

Han Xiu couldn't care so much, and directly blurted out his calculations, saying, "I hope Aiqing can be a messenger and ask to see Chuyang, the king of the Northern Jin Dynasty." Tell Chu Yang that I am willing to take the queen hostage in exchange for a truce between the two armies! ”

Take the queen hostage in exchange for a truce between the two armies!

How shameless does it take for someone to say such a thing?

Zhang Li only felt as if he was in an ice cellar, surrounded by bursts of cold air, and in just a few moments, his hands and feet were all frozen numb, and even his breath was covered with white frost.

"Your Majesty's ......" Zhang Li found his voice after half a sound, lowered his eyelids, and said in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, this move is a little inappropriate. ”

"What's wrong?!" Han Xiu's expression immediately became gloomy.

Zhang Li shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "I'm afraid that as the queen, I'm afraid it's not enough for the Northern Jin Dynasty to collect troops." After all, the last time the two armies confronted each other, the king of the Northern Jin Dynasty threatened the queen's life, and the emperor had already chosen to sacrifice the queen. ”

"So what?" Han Xiu's eyes flickered, and he asked unwillingly.

"The minister thinks that if you want to be a hostage, it is better to send a prince......"
