Send a prince!

Han Xiu's pupils shrank, and his eyes stared sharply at Zhang Li, wanting to see something from his face. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

He is indeed very shameless, and extremely shameless. Even, using his wife and children as bait to lure away the enemy army, abandoning his old father and running for his life alone, this is not the first time that such a thing has been done.

However, when these words came out of Zhang Li's mouth, he still had an unhappy feeling, as if he had been stepped on his tail, and he instantly became angry.

"According to Zhang Xiangguo's opinion, which prince should I send in order to show sincerity?!" Han Xiu squinted his eyes, and there was a strong killing intent hidden in his eyes.

"The emperor can imagine that if the Northern Jin Dynasty is defeated and sues for peace, and Chu Yang sends hostages to the emperor, how can the emperor agree? Naturally, it is the closest and most important person to the emperor that is more qualified to be a hostage. Zhang Li lowered his eyebrows, as if he didn't see Han Xiu's expression, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"The most intimate?" Han Xiu groaned.

To tell the truth, if the Northern Jin Dynasty was defeated and sued for peace, no matter what hostages Chu Yang sent, he would not agree! On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly?!

However, with Chu Yang's upright and gentlemanly temperament, there is still a glimmer of hope.

"I have a total of three princes, and Han Fei is obviously not suitable, so only Yi'er and Han Lang are left." Han Xiu frowned, his eyelids constantly shaking, as if he was entangled and hesitant.

However, judging from his title, the estrangement of distant relatives has long been exposed.

Han Fei, Yi'er, and Han Lang...... Two of them are called with a surname, and one has omitted a surname, and the name is more intimate.

Yi'er, in the end, was once his favorite son, although he had experienced a blood test, his status in Han Xiu's heart was much more important than that of other sons.

Weichen thought that the third prince was too young, and if he was taken hostage, he didn't know if he would be able to live to adulthood. As for the second prince, after all, he is the queen's concubine, occupying the position of the queen, and with the bond of the queen, it is very suitable as a hostage. Zhang Li made a choice for Han Xiu.

Most of the time, the emperor hates that others make decisions for him, or use words to influence his judgment. But there are also times when the emperor wants his courtiers to make a choice for him in order to take care of his face.

Of course, the premise is that the choice of the courtiers is actually the emperor's own will.

"This ......" Han Xiu hesitated for a moment, nodded decisively and said: "Zhang Aiqing is right, the third prince is indeed young, and his identity is not valuable enough, so it is more suitable for the second prince." ”

It's more appropriate for the second prince - after all, it's Shi Jiao'e's son, it's best to be trapped in the enemy camp all the time, lest Shi Jiao'e have a crooked mind and want to kill him and help his son take the throne!

"Your Majesty, there has been a proton since ancient times. It's just that the prince who is a proton must be noble. Even if the second prince is born by the queen, as long as the queen is still in Dashun, she can give birth to more sons-in-law and replace the second prince in the future. ”

Zhang Li pondered for a moment, and finally said: "Your Majesty, if you really want to send a proton, it is better to improve the status of the second prince and make him the crown prince, so as to increase the bargaining chips in the negotiation." ”

This is the meaning of Shi Lao Fox. Although Zhang Li couldn't understand Shi Wen's calculations, he didn't mind helping him and making him owe him a favor.

Shi Wen's favor, a critical moment can save his life!

"Prince?! That's impossible! Han Xiu slapped the table suddenly, his eyes widened into fists, and his face burst into bruises.

"One prince is not enough, just add a queen! And if that's not enough, add another princess! I won't make him the crown prince! Han Xiu looked resistant, and angrily brushed the teacup in his hand to the ground.

Zhang Li didn't speak, but took a step back.

After Han Xiu vented, he finally calmed down again, but he still blushed and said with a rather unpretentious expression: "How sure is Aiqing?!" ”

"Not a cent." Zhang Li shook his head, and before Han Xiu got angry, he continued: "But the minister will definitely do his best to live up to the emperor's trust." ”

Who wouldn't say high-sounding words? Let's talk about it, and I don't need money! In case it really can't be discussed, Zhang Li may go directly to the Northern Jin Dynasty!

After all, compared to Chu Yang, Han Xiu's personality is really bad!

……

The morning pilgrimage of the second day.

Zhang Li came to the court for the first time. It's a pity that he waited in the court for a long time, but he never saw the emperor speak.

He raised his head suspiciously, and the moment he saw Han Xiu's expression, he "chuckled" in his heart, and immediately understood Han Xiu's intentions.

Some people want to be bitches and set up archways. is obviously doing shameless things, but he still cares about his face and wants to deceive the world and steal his name.

That's how Han so is.

Obviously, he came up with an idea by himself, and he was afraid of being infamy, so he had to let someone else speak for him.

"The minister has the right to play." Zhang Li estimated the current situation and had to stand up.

"Your Majesty, the king of the Northern Jin Dynasty treacherously tore up the peace covenant unilaterally, and now he is leading a large army to crush the city, and the situation of our army is not optimistic." Zhang Li lowered his eyebrows and said with a glance.

"What can Aiqing do?" Han Xiu asked eagerly as if he didn't know at all.

"The minister thinks that the king of the Northern Jin Dynasty is a righteous gentleman, as long as he moves with affection and understands reason, he can naturally let him withdraw from the army." Zhang Li deliberately avoided talking about it.

"Then Aiqing is willing to persuade Chu Yang for me?" Han Xiu narrowed his eyes, trying to suppress his anger and did not explode.

"The minister is willing to share the emperor's worries and solve problems. It's just that, in order to show his determination to make peace, the minister suggested sending a prince to the Northern Jin Dynasty as a hostage. ”

There was an uproar in the court.

Send hostages to the Northern Jin Dynasty, or send a prince!

Zhang Xiangguo's proposal is really quite bold! Aren't you afraid of angering the emperor and being directly imprisoned by the emperor?!

Moreover, there have indeed been many cases in history of sending protons to seek peace, but they are all small countries giving in to big countries, how can a big country be so disrespectful?!

"The emperor must not—" Before the minister's voice fell, he was interrupted by Han Xiu.

"I think Zhang Xiangguo's proposal is good. In exchange for the withdrawal of the Northern Jin Dynasty, I think such a sacrifice is meaningful. Han Xiu said righteous words.

Sounding! Zhang Li's eyes hooked up a touch of mockery, and quickly reined in again.

After a short argument, the matter of sending the second prince to be a proton was almost decided.

……

"Mother, no! News came from the vestibule that the emperor wanted to send the second prince to the Northern Jin Dynasty as a hostage in exchange for the withdrawal of the Northern Jin Dynasty!! As soon as Wanru received the news, her face changed drastically, and she hurriedly ran in to report.
