Ten days have passed in the blink of an eye. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Why has the envoy been here for a few days, and there is still no rumor outside, hasn't Qi Jun summoned the envoy yet?" Ling Tianxu lingered behind Xiao Junxuan.

Xiao Junwan took a sip of tea, looked at the chess game on the table, and said unhurriedly: "Since Qi Jun is not in a hurry, what are you anxious about?" ”

"When I first heard about this, I don't know who was anxious."

"I'm worried that Qi Guochuang's disaster will damage the interests of Yan Guo, although the matter is big, but it's good that the soldiers are not killed or injured, and I don't need to worry about the rest of the people, some people are sad about it."

"With what you know about him, will he let Qi Guo go easily?"

Hearing Ling Tianxu mention this, she was also a little puzzled, with her understanding of Ling Hao, Qi Guo flooded the Yan State military camp such a thing as intolerable, although sending envoys to ask Qi Guo Xingshi for guilt, not to let Qi Guo go, but whether this kind of treatment is lighter, it stands to reason that it is more appropriate to let Qi Guo send envoys to Yan State to beg for mercy, if he is angry, how can he take the initiative to send envoys.

What was he thinking? Xiao Junwan couldn't understand this.

"Why don't you speak?"

"The conditions have been prepared in advance, whether this matter can be settled or not is all in Qi Jun's thoughts, Qi Jun agrees, and the contradiction can be resolved."

"What if you don't?"

"The prince never does things that he is not sure of, since he has sent an envoy over, he must have expected that the Qi State will agree, otherwise he will let the envoy run for nothing and waste all these days."

"It's too early to say this, last time he used Prince Qi as a threat to force Qi Guo to agree, this time it was the envoy who took the initiative to send it to the door, the situation is different, there is no bargaining chip, can Qi Guo agree?"

Xiao Junwan raised his lips and smiled: "Nonsense, when did the prince force Qin He?" At the beginning, no one tied him up to write letters, and he was willing to go to the peace talks. Although the essence of that withdrawal was indeed to make it difficult for Qin He to be forced to agree to the terms of the withdrawal, on the surface, Yan Guo neither wanted to coerce Qin He to go to Handu, nor did he imprison Qin He in Handu, everything seemed to be Qin He's willingness. While Yan Guo got the benefits, he did not fall into the world's mouth, this is a clever strategy.

"As you said, Uncle Huang's treachery, I can't learn it."

"How can this be called treacherous! Your uncle is doing this for your country, you are good, just travel outside the mountains and rivers alone, and talk cool words. ”

"I also want to reply to the letter as soon as possible, but some people disagree and complain about me, and if they want to say that they are misleading the country, it is also because of you."

"I can't afford such a big crime." Xiao Junwan said lightly, picked up a chess piece and landed on the chessboard, she had only played half of the chess in front of her, how could she withdraw.

"If you want to know the news, why don't you go to Yipinju and sit down?"

"I heard Ziying say that Yipinju's business has been bleak these days, and at this juncture, which minister has the heart to only care about eating and drinking well for himself." Xiao Junwan knew that behind the empty building of Yipinju was the officials who were worried about this matter, but not all officials were righteous and awe-inspiring and cared about the people. Some are indeed worried about Qi Guo and Emperor Taihong; Some are thinking about themselves, because whoever can resolve the contradiction between Qi and Yan will have a bright future.

Last time, Ling Hao made Emperor Taihong and the ministers of Qi State think that she persuaded the Yan army to retire, and Emperor Taihong named her a maid who had been in the palace for less than a year. Now this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity has come again, and everyone wants to seize this opportunity to be promoted and receive rewards, except for her.

It is not only the ministers who want to make meritorious contributions, there are Xiao Junjuan as an example, there are many concubines and female officials in the harem, and there are also people who are working hard, and it is not only men who can make this contribution.

The concubines and ministers of the harem became ants on a hot pot in a hurry, but Xiao Junwan played chess here peacefully and stayed out of the matter.

"When are you going to play this game?"

"If you go down alone, it's boring to win or lose, so naturally when you are tired, when you go back to rest."

"I'll accompany you, and after the next game, I'll go to Qi's mansion."

"What are you going to do in Qi's mansion?"

"Of course, I asked Uncle Huang what conditions he had made, you said I was superficial, but what could I mention if I didn't mention those conditions?"

"I have already sent someone to ask, and I will know as soon as there is news, how can I ask His Majesty to make a trip himself." Xiao Junwan glanced at Ling Tianxu with a smile, and was ridiculed by her, he was still unwilling, thinking that Yan Guo had no other conditions to mention, which also proved that it was not that he was superficial, but that the countries between countries wanted money in addition to asking for food.

She laid out the chess pieces, waited for the response, and knew what the conditions were, so she had the idea to make Su Xiang fall on her heels, and she was in a hurry.

Seeing that Xiao Junwan was not in a hurry at all, Ling Tianxu also had to calm down and wait until Yin Feng and Zi Ying came back.

Ling Tianxu couldn't wait to ask, "Qi Jun only summoned the envoy now?" ”

"Hui Gongzi, Qi Jun has summoned the envoy before, expressing his willingness to discuss with Yan Guo to solve the matter of Dongzhou, and the envoy then submitted the terms, but Qi Jun and the group of ministers have not said yes or no, and Qi Jun also ordered the ministers who know the terms not to leak the news, so the subordinates have just learned from Lord Qi."

"Why did Qi Jun block the news?"

"I don't know yet, it must be that the conditions proposed by Yan Guo are too harsh in the eyes of the people of Qi State, Emperor Taihong doesn't want to agree, and he is afraid that he will have to agree in the end, in order to prevent being criticized by the people, he simply does not let the people know what he promised Yan Guo."

"What are the conditions?"

"Lord Qi said that the other terms are easy to discuss, and there are actually only two things that make it difficult for Qi Jun and the ministers to accept."

"Which two?"

"Cut the defense, cut the ground."

Xiao Junwan couldn't help but laugh, Ling Hao's conditions always made her admire. Reducing defense refers to reducing the size of the border garrison of the Qi State, which is conducive to the tranquility of the Yan border now and the Yan State to attack the Qi State in the future.

Qi State flooded the military camp, whether it was an accident or not, Yan State can understand that this is a tactic implemented by Qi State against the Yan army, so Yan State can say that this move is just to let Qi State prove that it will not start a war against Yan State, although it is not difficult for the world to see the ambition behind Yan State, but this condition is extremely reasonable on the surface.

Even if Qi Guo saw through Yan Guo's thoughts, Emperor Taihong did not dare to refuse rashly, otherwise he would have decided to start a war against Yan Guo.

Xiao Junwan thought for a moment and said: "Reducing defense refers to reducing the size of the Dongzhou garrison of Qi State, so that the number of Dongzhou garrisons will not pose a threat to Yan State, so what does the land cutting refer to?" ”

"It's not just about reducing the garrison in Dongzhou, but about letting the Qi State reduce the deployment of troops in all the cities on the Qiyan border."

Xiao Junwan was taken aback: "All the cities bordering must be reduced?" ”

Ling Tianxu sneered: "Where did Uncle Huang get the confidence to expect Qi Jun to agree to such conditions." ”

"As for cutting the land, it is to let the Qi State return to Xunzhou Mansion." (To be continued.) )
