Chapter Ninety-Six: Reconciliation

Shen Tianao took her into the room, and he said as he walked: "The princess should stay in the house and take care of the fetus, how can she run around." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

He kissed Gu Tingcheng's forehead gently, Gu Tingcheng's heart was empty, what he overheard just now was obviously seen by him, why was he still indifferent, she really couldn't figure it out, so she nodded in confusion, thinking that she could fool the past like this.

"Lord Wang, I'll pay attention." She cautiously cooperated with him.

Suddenly, Shen Tianao laughed, he held her in his arms and said, "Princess, as long as you are obedient, I will not embarrass you, although you know some things that you shouldn't know." ”

A trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, and Gu Qingcheng was frightened when he saw it, he said this to her on purpose, she tensed her expression, and said with a smile to Shen Tianao: "The more the prince says, the more confused I become, I will do what you tell me, what is so difficult." She was ready to obey Shen Tianao first, lest she would suffer.

Shen Tianao was slightly satisfied with her answer, and after dealing with her affairs, he arranged to deal with the royal family again.

Long Ziqi's body recovered for the most part, and he stiffened his body and said to Long Yuting: "Uncle Huang, I am going to discuss with the vassal kings to stabilize them for the time being. ”

Long Yuting looked at his still pale face, and said worriedly: "Your Majesty, this matter can't help but be left to me, you can rest well." ”

"No problem." Long Ziqi waved his hand, got up from the bed, and asked the palace people to change his clothes, he stood in front of the bronze mirror and saw that he was not in good spirits in the mirror, so he held up his spirit and said, "Uncle Huang, sooner or later, I will have to govern this country alone, Uncle Huang has done enough for me, and I will leave the rest to my nephew." ”

His back was straight, after this poisoning, although he lost a lot of weight, there was a firmness between his eyebrows, which made Long Yuting sigh with emotion, Long Ziqi became more and more like an emperor under his cultivation, and finally lived up to the imperial brother's deathbed entrustment.

Long Yuting came to the main hall with Long Ziqi, the vassal kings had been waiting for a long time, seeing that His Majesty and the regent had arrived, the vassal kings saluted them one after another, even if the relationship was now stiff, but it was not yet the last step, and the vassal kings did not want to tear their faces.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please get up." Long Ziqi raised his hand to the vassal kings and said.

Seeing that his illness had not yet dissipated, the vassal kings must have come here with a hard hold, and the king of Zhenbei first said: "I don't know if Your Majesty has caught the real murderer?" ”

Long Ziqi smiled faintly, there was a trace of forbearance in his eyes, in fact, he knew that the assassination must be the mastermind of the vassal kings, but even if the assassin was brought to the palace to confront the vassal kings in public, but without the support of General Wang and others, he did not dare to take the vassal king abruptly, so as not to tear his face, and the vassal kings made an incident and forced the royal family and the court into a dangerous situation.

He said patiently: "It's a pity that the assassin has died of taking medicine, but the palace will strengthen its vigilance, please rest assured that the princes will be on guard." ”

The vassal kings looked at each other, and Shen Tianao, the king of Anqing, broke the peace between each other, and he said to Long Ziqi seriously: "Your Majesty, now that your birthday banquet has passed, and your body has basically recovered, it is time for us to leave." ”

Hearing Shen Tianao say this, Long Ziqi's face relaxed, and he said with a smile: "Since the Aiqing are going back to their respective territories, then I will not force them to stay, and I will prepare a generous gift for each of you." ”

"But Your Majesty, the ministers have one more request." Shen Tianao continued to say to him, his eyebrows furrowed, which made Long Ziqi's heart tighten, only to hear Shen Tianao say, "Your Majesty, the ministers and others hope to reduce or exempt some territorial taxes in the past few years, you know that there have been many disasters this year, and the harvest of the people is not as good as before, so please consider it as appropriate." ”

His tone was very sincere, almost unbearable to refuse, Long Ziqi looked in the direction of Long Yuting, he wanted to ask the imperial uncle for help, only to see Long Yuting nodded, he also put his mind at ease.

"I have granted your request, and within three years I will only collect sixty percent of the taxes of the previous year." Long Ziqi said sonorously.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." The vassal kings knelt on the ground and bowed in thanks.

The hall fell into silence again, and King Huai suddenly took a few steps forward and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has another request, and the minister hopes that Your Majesty will not reduce the forces of the vassal kings again, in case a foreign clan comes to attack, we will have enough troops to deal with the foreign clan." ”

As soon as these words came out, Long Ziqi's face stiffened, what King Huai said was nothing more than to make the court make the greatest compromise, this approach made Uncle Huang's efforts over the years in vain, his face was heavy, and he was not in a hurry to answer King Huai.

Long Yuting walked down the steps step by step, he came to King Huai, glanced at the vassal kings and said, "As long as you promise absolute loyalty to the imperial family, this matter can be promised to you." ”

Shen Tianao looked at Long Yuting, his expression was indifferent, his dark eyes revealed a little bit of light, and his words seemed to carry a promise: "The ministers hereby agree that they will never invade the imperial court." ”

For the sake of prudence, Long Yuting instructed the palace people: "Go and bring the pen and ink." ”

He took the pen and ink handed by the palace people, and personally drafted an agreement with the vassal kings, he handed the agreement to the vassal kings and said, "If there is no objection, please put your respective handprints on it." ”

The other vassal kings were still a little hesitant, but Shen Tianao took the lead in stamping a handprint of his own on the paper, he looked at the bright red handprint, and said to Long Yuting: "So the regent can rest assured." ”

Seeing him like this, the other vassal kings also pressed their own handprints on the paper, Long Yuting looked at the five handprints on the paper, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and he ordered the palace people to put away the paper with the agreement.

The atmosphere in the main hall also eased, and the vassal kings said goodbye to Long Ziqi one by one: "Your Majesty, the ministers will retire first, but on the day of departure, I hope Your Majesty will go to see you off." ”

"Okay." Long Ziqi replied, as long as these vassal kings were sent out of Liangdu and the temporarily dangerous situation was solved, it was nothing if he was wronged.

When the figures of the vassal kings disappeared from Long Ziqi's sight, he breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the agreement in the hands of the palace people, and said to Long Yuting: "Uncle Huang, as long as we have this in hand, I'm afraid they won't come to commit it in the past few years, otherwise the teacher will be unknown." ”

Long Yuting's expression was slightly nervous, he didn't let down all his guards, and said to Long Ziqi: "I hope so, as long as the vassal kings don't come to invade Liangdu, take advantage of the past few years, we must recuperate, and take down the vassal kings in one fell swoop in the future." ”

He was much older than Long Ziqi, but he felt that the vassal kings suddenly left Liangdu a little suddenly, and they easily agreed to the request, which had to make him suspicious. (To be continued.) )
