Chapter 89: Arguments and Compromises

Yue Qingrou and Leng Ling'er galloped all the way, and finally arrived at the Night Moon King City, Yuehua City. "Words * love * first * hair

Unlike the longevity and magnificence of Smoke Cloud City, the history of Yuehua City is only about a thousand years.

Since the founding of the Night Moon Kingdom, it has developed steadily under the system of four princes and three auxiliaries.

For thousands of years, the Night Moon Kingdom had fought with the Snow Night Dynasty countless times, and one hundred and ninety-eight years ago, the Snow Night Empire disintegrated and split into six kingdoms.

Thirty years ago, Ling Tianhe of the Tianhua Kingdom ascended the throne at the age of nine, but it was this young emperor who unexpectedly beheaded several ministers who intended him and consolidated the throne. After that, he promoted the young general Yun Bufan unusually, and then went east and west to fight, destroying the four kingdoms in a row. The only empire in the Shenwu Continent was established.

During that time, the Night Moon Kingdom's then Four Princes and Three Auxiliaries and the Night Moon King also wanted to send troops to expand their territory, but they missed it due to the sudden death of the Night Moon King.

After the new king succeeded to the throne, that is, the current Night Moon King, he had no great ambitions, only knew how to keep it, and vetoed the original opinions of the four princes and three assistants, so that in the end he missed the opportunity, the Tianhua Empire was established, and another great enemy appeared on the side of the Night Moon Kingdom.

Yue Qingrou knew that the Night Moon King did not want to use troops externally, let alone expand his territory externally. He feared both that the war against the empire would be lost, and that the balance of the four dukes would be unbalanced after the expansion of their territory, which would make his throne unstable.

"It seems that His Majesty is really angry." Leng Ling'er yawned a little boredly, they hadn't been received for three consecutive days after they arrived in Yuehua City, which was usually impossible at all.

Yue Qingrou put the sword on the table and hummed, "That dead old man, if you don't summon you tomorrow, I'll go back." I didn't bother to wait. ”

"Hmph, it's rude, I don't know any etiquette." Leng Ling'er said sarcastically: "I really don't know how you learned the etiquette in the Moon Immortal Pavilion. ”

"Ice cube woman, you don't come, is it etiquette to twist and pinch like you" Yue Qingrou immediately retorted.

"Yue Qingrou, you want to fight, right?"

"Cut, we haven't played much along the way, it seems that I have won more times."

"Nonsense, after 477 games along the way, you just won one more game than me. Now it's the 478th game, and this time I have to win. Leng Ling'er drew her sword angrily.

The two were about to fight in the room, but unexpectedly, a white light flashed, and a figure appeared in front of them.

"You two can really quarrel at any time." The person who came was wearing a white dress and long hair fluttering, and it was Ye Shi'er, the head of the three auxiliaries.

As soon as they saw Ye Shi'er, the two girls immediately knew that the opportunity to fight was gone, and they each put away their swords.

"Do it all, why are you still stunned" Ye Shi'er pulled over the chair and sat down, and then patted the table: "Do you know why His Majesty asked you to come back?"

"I still need to ask, it's my majesty, that old guy is not satisfied with the conditions." Yue Qingrou said angrily.

"There is nothing to dissatisfaction with the conditions." Ye Shi'er shook her head: "After I came back, I told my majesty the conditions, and he was not dissatisfied." It's just that he can see that he is still worried. ”

"What are you worried about, are you still worried about the balance of power" Leng Ling'er immediately thought of what the Night Moon King might be worried about.

"That's right." Ye Shi'er smiled bitterly: "First there was civil strife in the empire, and then there was internal strife in the Piaoyun Kingdom. You two are still sending troops to the Empire. However, now that the shape is very good, Yunqing is bound to become the most powerful nobleman in the empire in the future. And the two of you who are good friends with him, how can you reassure Your Majesty?"

Yue Qingrou and Leng Ling'er couldn't help but look at each other, they didn't expect that the problem was actually Yun Qing, which really made the two of them unexpected.

It's just that the two of them understood after a little thought, and unconsciously, Yun Qing actually reached such a point that he could make the Night Moon King care about this Cheng dΓΉ.

Thinking about it, it is true, Yunqing successively accepted a large number of soldiers who surrendered from the Duke of Yunshan and the Duke of Donghai, and after successive battles, these soldiers have grown into elite soldiers who are not weak in combat.

And many of those soldiers have to move to Longlin County, and even many people from all over the empire want to move to Longlin County.

It is conceivable that after the empire is stabilized this time, Yunqing's Longlin County is bound to develop greatly.

Coupled with his trade treaty with the Night Moon, although he did not collect taxes from the Night Moon merchants for ten years because of the treaty, it was enough to only collect taxes from the merchants of the Empire.

What's more, Longlin County itself also has a lot of business to do, and it is conceivable that even if Longlin County is not as good as the old dukedoms such as Donghai County in a few years, it will definitely not be much weaker.

And Longlin County is even more talented, Ziyan and his wife, who are in charge of financial power, Ke'er who is in charge of political affairs, Hong Xiao, who is in charge, and even the old general Li Qingfeng said that he would resign and go to Longlin County for retirement after this time. It is absolutely impossible for him to really retire when he goes, and it is conceivable to help train the army.

And Yun Qing himself has gone through this series of wars, and his vision is no longer what it used to be, whether it is political, military or economic, all aspects have shown unique insights.

The two women glanced at each other, and both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

When they think about it now, they know that Yunqing has grown so much.

"Looks like you get it." Ye Shi'er smiled bitterly: "I finally know why you appreciate him so much." It was not unreasonable to be able to help him like that before he even showed this. ”

Yue Qingren said that I didn't see that guy had such abilities at the beginning, and I just admired his archery skills at the time. As for the later dispatch of troops, it was only because of interests.

"That's true. In this case, it is a bit troublesome to dispel His Majesty's doubts. Leng Ling'er held her forehead with her hand, feeling that this matter was a little difficult to do.

"Indeed, it is not your fault that Your Majesty is worried about." Ye Shi'er nodded: "So before you enter the palace, you must find a way to deal with it." I know that even if Your Majesty opposes it now, you will not withdraw your troops lightly, so you must think of countermeasures that can make Your Majesty feel at ease. Otherwise, with his gentle and reckless character, I am afraid that I will fall out with His Majesty. ”

"Who is reckless" Yue Qingrou was very dissatisfied when she heard this: "Even if I am dissatisfied with that old man, I will not really fall out with him." ”

"Hmph, don't make a fuss If I say to you, Yufeng Gong, hurry up and withdraw the army. What would you say" Leng Ling'er rolled her eyes and asked.

"You don't have to ask about it." Yueqingrou's answer was categorical.

Ye Shi'er sighed: "You won't answer tactfully, how can you get off the stage like this, sure enough, I was right to come today." ”

"But what should we do" Leng Ling'er asked, "Since you are here, you already have a way to come?"

"Nope." Ye Shi'er smiled bitterly: "The reason why I only came now is because the three of us are about to quarrel about the matter of Viscount Yunqing." ”

Mengfan, she proposed to let Viscount Yunqing come to Yeyue as a hostage. In this way, the empire can be blackmailed and dare not offend. The three of us have been arguing for days about this. Ye Shi'er groaned: "His Majesty doesn't speak at all, for him, the more we quarrel, the happier he is." It's just that I don't think he dares to speak lightly about this matter, but now, Yunqing's coalition army has reached its peak in terms of strength and prestige, and he is afraid that such an imperial nobleman will be a hostage, and his majesty is afraid that it will lead to a full-scale conflict with the empire in the future. Although the imperial throne dispute has not yet ended, the one supported by Yun Qing still has a chance to win. And even if he failed, with Yunqing's prestige at this time, the new emperor would not dare to do anything to Yunqing. ”

"What" Yue Qing stood up softly: "That cunning woman actually came up with such an idea, this is really too much. What did Bai Zhuojun say?"

"She's okay, at least not so much. She meant to let Yunqing go to your office. It can be regarded as a testimony to the friendship between the empire and the night moon. Ye Shi'er shook her head: "Thinking about it, what she means is to control Yunqing in the night moon." It's just to let Yunqing be there for you. ”

"Well, that seems like a good idea. And with what I know about Yunqing, he may really agree. Yue Qingrou laughed: "He always puts the people of his territory first. Even if it is for the sake of those people not to suffer from war again, he will agree. ”

"That's true." Leng Ling'er also agreed: "If Yunqing is with you, it will not prevent him from governing the territory." The territory of the two of you is adjacent to each other, and if you use the Spirit Eagle to communicate, all kinds of affairs will not be delayed for long. ”

Ye Shi'er smiled bitterly and said, "You two don't know the consequences of doing this. This is tantamount to directly pushing the relationship between the empire and the night moon to Qingrou. If something goes wrong, it's you who blame you. ”

"It's weird, that old man never had a good face for me anyway." Yue Qingrou rolled her eyes and said categorically: "The matter is so decided." Wait for the old man to summon us, and we will accept this. ”

Ye Shi'er was quite helpless when she heard this. Not to mention that the Night Moon King has no good face for Yue Qingrou, and Yue Qingrou has never given the Moon Night King a good face since inheriting the position of the Grand Duke, Yue Qingrou has not saluted the Night Moon King. This made the Night Moon King so embarrassed and unable to get off the stage.

After Ye Shi'er went back, she seemed to have said something to the Night Moon King. Soon the two were summoned.

As Ye Shi'er said, the Night Moon King mentioned Yunqing's matter without saying a few words, and even asked the other two assistants Mengfan and Bai Zhuojun to talk about their thoughts.

So the two opinions that Ye Shier said were put on the table.

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were in an uproar when they heard these two items, they were all old fritters, and they didn't know what meaning these two items contained.

But Yue Qingrou directly proposed that Bai Zhuojun's opinion could be considered, and she would persuade Yunqing to agree.

It seemed that he was a little sorry for Yue Qingrou, and the Night Moon King changed some conditions, changing the condition of tax exemption for merchants who went to Longlin to do business for ten years to a reduction of 30%.

This made Yue Qingrou somewhat different from the Night Moon King.
