The assassination in the palace had just faded, and General Yan Yan actually killed himself in the palace, which could be regarded as alarming the government and the opposition, and the courtiers who did not know the root cause felt that it was weird. This is also a lot of whispering in private, there must be speculation among the courtiers, but these speculations only dare to hide in the shadows, Liqing has already issued an order on this matter, how dare to disobey the holy will.

Yan Que's funeral was handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and as for the burial place, it was also at Murong Duanruo's request, and finally chose to be buried on the rocky slope. That was the place where he and Dump Yujun first met, and it was also the place where he buried Dumping Yujun's clothes, even though the two were fated, but in Yan Ran's heart, his wife was only Dumping Yujun's person, and now Dumping Yujun is dead, and he doesn't want to live in the world, so he ends everything with one life.

If Murong Duan and him are also old friends, Yan Que hopes that he should be able to understand, so he asked for a decree and asked Liqing to surrender a decree. What Yan Que has been hanging on all these years, how can Liqing not know, since he has acquiesced to the clothed mound on the rocky slope, Murong Duanruo's kneeling plea, he has also acquiesced.

Everything that Liqing asked for was answered, that is, he handed over all the qiē to the Ministry of Internal Service and Murong Duanruo to take care of, after all, as the king of a country, he should be the people of ten thousand dynasties in his heart, but he has no leisure to worry about a courtier.

There are many things in the court, that is, there is a very heavy thing recently, Chongwang iron cavalry stepped on, Zhao Guo's soldiers were defeated again and again, because it was shocked by the deterrence of Jiang's army, Zhao led the army to surrender, and now sent envoys into Kyoto, wanting to take this opportunity to make peace and take this opportunity to seek marriage, in order to ensure that everything between the two countries is reconciled.

In order to ensure the well-being of the people of the two countries, marriage must be the best way, since Zhao intends to seek peace, in order to avoid the war between the two countries and add to the soul, this time the courtship Jiang Guo should respond. It is to reply to the post, which means that the envoys of Zhao State will be able to enter Jiang Kingdom Kyoto in the near future.

Zhao sent envoys to make peace with his relatives, and such a major event has been spread in the palace since it was long ago, and after hearing about it, Nan Zhi should have entered the palace to give Qin Shujiu. Sitting on the concubine couch and putting the peony in his hand, while listening to Nanzhi Hui Qin Shujiu while doing his own thing, when he heard the envoys of Zhao State and his relatives were about to leave for Jiang Guo's Kyoto, Qin Shujiu's movements on his hand were also paused.

Holding the peony he had just picked up in his hand, Qin Shujiu inserted the peony flower into the celadon bottle in front of him after some rolling in his hand, and after a careful appreciation, Qin Shujiu moved his eyes and said: "Envoy of Zhao State? But this time the Zhao country called Chongwang Iron Cavalry all over the country? After inquiry, Nanzhi answered, and then said.

"Exactly, since the general of the auxiliary country called His Majesty to cut down the official and abolish the lord for his crime, all the military power in his hands was handed over to King Chong. Chongwang is unstoppable, repeatedly attacking the enemy, it is this time to raise troops to attack Zhao State, but in January will be the previous attack on the plundered city all recaptured, even Zhao State many pond cities are now also called Chongwang Iron Cavalry to step down. Zhao Guo is afraid that this time King Chong is afraid, and he came to ask for peace overnight, but he was afraid that King Chong would raise troops to attack the capital directly, and he would not even be able to keep the throne at that time.

This time, he raised troops to attack Zhao State, and it was also rumored to come to the palace of King Chong's victory, so Nanzhi also felt surging after hearing it, and the more he wanted to say it, the more he felt excited. Qin Shujiu was still calm after smelling it, and he was not as happy as Nanzhi, so he smiled softly and said.

"The general of the auxiliary state colluded with the state of Zhao to resell the military supplies and made a windfall, and this evil account can not be punished by the general of the auxiliary state to dispel his anger. This is sold and should be bought, Zhao Guo bought the military supplies of our dynasty with silver taels, and then used the military supplies of our dynasty to beat the generals of our dynasty, how could His Majesty swallow this breath. Attacking the Zhao State, I was afraid that when King Chong's secret entered the court to investigate and deal with this matter, our Shengming's majesty had already made this calculation in his heart. The old department of the auxiliary generals was all under the command of King Chong, and the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household were also prepared early, in order to return all this humiliation to the monarch of Zhao State, and now King Chong is about to enter other countries all the way to Kyoto, and Zhao State has to send envoys to the court to seek peace in order to protect the immortality of the dynasty. Marriage is just the most commonly used technique between countries, you just wait, this marriage, I'm afraid Zhao Guo is not pleasing to the place. ”

is a soft smile, Qin Shujiu said with a smile, after this words, he saw Nan Zhi nodded slightly, and then continued: "Our majesty is the most calculating, and now that he is raising troops to attack suddenly, the old hatred of the defeat of Minzhou back then can also be repaid." However, although His Majesty is attacking mental arithmetic, he is the most kind person on the face, even if Jiang Guo is victorious under the two countries, but now Zhao Guo is weak and sends envoys to sue for peace. I'm afraid that His Majesty should also do his kind side, even if he really took the opportunity to mention an unfair treaty, but this matter of harmony, I'm afraid it will be answered. ”

After the words fell, Nan Zhi thought for a moment and then said lightly, although she said this lightly, she also hit the point, so she called Qin Shujiu on the side to nod her head, and then responded: "Since Zhao Guo has the intention to seek peace, if His Majesty takes the opportunity to attack again, he is afraid that he will end up with an infamy of being unkind and unjust, our Majesty has never liked these, and he will not do such a thing that makes people's livelihood miserable, and Zhao Guo's harmony will definitely be successful." Besides, Zhao is now at the end of the crossbow, and if he continues to fight, Chongwang's victory must be of course, but the Zhao army will resist strongly, and it will inevitably be a heavy blow to Chongwang. At this time, if the other countries have ambitions again and think about the interests of the fisherman, then the dilemma may be our majesty. ”

Liqing is not such a stupid person, he will not commit this kind of thing that traps himself in a disadvantageous situation, now that the Zhao State has been defeated, he will take a letter of resignation and seek peace, and Liqing, who has a good face, should accept it when he sees it, so as not to fight too much and make people resist, and then it will be more than worth the loss. Qin Shujiu's words can be regarded as clarifying the thoughts of the saint, but after these words, Nan Zhi frowned slightly, and then said after thinking for a while: "It seems that harmony seems to be a matter that must be done at the moment, but can I have a prince of the right age to marry Zhao Guo?" ”

If it is a marriage, it must be the royal family to show friendship and sincerity, but the heirs of the royal family are really withering, and it is really not easy to find a person and relatives at the moment. It is because of this thought at this time, Nanzhi said: "Your Majesty's dragon descendants are really thin, there are only three princes and Princess Anping, although Princess Anping is also in her prime, but after all, she is the only daughter of Her Majesty, and now she is raised under the queen's knees. As for the eldest princess of Tongyang, Nanzhi felt that it was not feasible, although the eldest princess said that her status was noble, but the eldest princess had separated after all. Although Zhao Guo was defeated, King Zhao was the king of a country after all, and marrying this eldest princess who had been separated from him would probably make people feel that Jiang Guo would take advantage of the situation to humiliate, and it would be even worse at that time. ”

The matter of harmony is very important, this person who is close to him should be difficult to choose, and he also saw Nanzhi hit his mind on the eldest princess of Tongyang, Qin Shujiu couldn't help laughing and said: "I ordered the eldest princess to go to kiss, I am afraid that only you dare to move such a thought, what kind of temperamental person is the eldest princess, not to mention whether she is separated from her, it is the temperament of the eldest princess, and she has to ask for the life of King Zhao if she marries it." Even if King Zhao is willing to marry the eldest princess, His Majesty will not agree. ”

Seeing that Qin Shujiu was so sure, Nan Zhi was also suspicious, and immediately asked, "How can my sister be so sure?" After asking, he saw a trace of an unknown sneer on Qin Shujiu's face, and then said: "Don't forget, the eldest princess is the sister of King Chong, and King Chong's heart is the person who remembers him the most." King Chong has always been able to guard Ba Yi and not disobey His Majesty's holy decree, because the eldest princess is in Kyoto, under the nose of our Majesty. Back then, King Chong only had an army in his hands, so His Majesty had to keep an eye on him, not to mention that now the rest of the auxiliary kingdom was under his command, and he hit Zhao Guoguo's great military exploits, how could His Majesty be willing to marry the eldest princess at this time? Zidang has always stayed by his side, and carefully did not give half of the grievances. ”

The eldest princess of Tongyang is the blade that regulates King Chong, and it is absolutely impossible for Liqing to send such a chess piece to his relatives, and it is only after saying this that Nanzhi responded, and then said: "Even if it is for King Chong, the eldest princess will never become a pawn in this marriage, I am afraid that it will be Princess Anping who suffers in the end, and the marriage between the two countries can only be her." ”

I don't know whether it's a pity or a sigh, Nan Zhi's words are a little sighing, and it also makes Qin Shujiu can't help but raise his eyebrows lightly, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Nan Zhi and sighed softly, Qin Shujiu said: "What? Could it be that she feels sorry for Princess Anping? ”

"It's not that I feel distressed, I just feel ......"

"If you feel anything, Nanzhi, you have to remember, no one can control His Majesty's thoughts, so who goes and who doesn't let him go, it's up to His Majesty to have the final say. We are just one of the many women in the harem, even if we think too much, we are confused. ”

When the words fell, Nanzhi said in a deep voice, and then responded: "Nanzhi understands." ”

"Of course you do." It was because of these words that he showed a little smile, and it was only after the smile that Qin Shujiu smiled and sighed, and then moved his body slightly to pick up the side peony again, that is, while rewarding the side and playing carefully, Qin Shujiu said with a smile: "Is it an envoy of Zhao State?" This envoy of Zhao came at the right time. ”

Originally, he was still talking about harmony, but in the blink of an eye, he saw Qin Shujiu smiling and saying such strange words, but he didn't know what Qin Shujiu's sudden smile meant, Nan Zhi couldn't help asking, "Sister, what did you think of?" ”

If you want to say that in this palace, it is still Nanzhi who knows Qin Shujiu's mind the most, so that the smile on his lips rises, he already knows that Qin Shujiu has a plan, and he should ask out of words. Nanzhi inquired, Qin Shujiu would not hide it, and after fiddling with the peony in the bottle, Qin Shujiu smiled.

"Originally, I didn't know how to start, but now that Zhao Guo has sent an envoy to my Jiang country, it is a rare and good opportunity."

"A rare opportunity, is my sister planning to ......" Suddenly, Siming Qin Shujiu's words were slightly startled and then smiled lightly, Nanzhi said: "Sister is planning to use the envoys of Zhao State to bring down the Yuwen family." After the words were spoken, he saw Qin Shujiu looking at her, and a smile lingered in the blink of his eyes, Qin Shujiu looked at her and smiled: "Sure enough, you understand me best, and you can understand it at all." ”

"After following my sister for so many years, even if I can't think of such a wonderful way as my sister, I understand my sister, and I should do it." When the words fell, Qin Shujiu raised his hand and nodded her forehead, and then said: "Shao Poor Mouth, I just want to ask you something, how many days will it take to enter my Kyoto from Zhao Kingdom?" The inquiry Luo Nanzhi said: "The reply has been sent back to Zhao State, and the envoys of Zhao State should also be enlightened, Zhao State is a long way from Jiang State, and it will inevitably take some time on the way." In addition, this envoy has always been a civil official, and he can't stand the excessive bumps on the road. ”

"It's been a month." The answer was attached, and Qin Shujiu said: "A few months, I think there is enough time." "The calculation has been unfolding in my heart, and how to lay it out now depends on when the envoys of Zhao State arrive. The smile in his eyes was a little more, and the smile that was revealed was like a starlight, and after the smile, Qin Shujiu said: "It's time to invite her, Nanzhi, hurry up and find Xiao Suzi, that is, ask him to spread the news quickly, and he will invite General Yunlu back when the envoys of Zhao State enter Beijing." ”

The envoy of Zhao State is her bargaining chip to take down the Yuwen family, if the envoy enters Kyoto, but the Yuwen family has no one in Beijing, wouldn't it be in vain to waste such a good opportunity. Smelling Qin Shujiu's words, Nan Zhi showed that he understood, but he understood the meaning but didn't understand the root cause of Qin Shujiu's trip, so he thought for a moment and then said.

"Sister's orders, Father-in-law Su should follow them, but Yu Wenhao is now on an expedition, without His Majesty's will, how can my sister let General Yunlu return to Beijing?" This is a big difficulty, Nanzhi really didn't know what to think, but after seeing Nanzhi's inquiry, Qin Shujiu smiled and said: "How to ask General Yunlu to resist the decree and return to Beijing, this is not something you and I should think about, but we have to look at her wrist." Whether she can complete this errand at that time really depends on her ability, but you can rest assured, with her ability, she will definitely be able to persuade Yu Wenhao to resist the decree and return to Beijing. ”

The last four words bit very hard, but they also entered Nan Zhi's heart, Qin Shujiu had already concluded like this, why did Nan Zhi say more, just nodded and then exited the inner bed, and asked Su Yi to pass on the news.

Zhao and Jiang are separated by thousands of miles, and it should be time-consuming and laborious for the envoys to enter the court, which is more than a month after waiting for the envoys of Zhao to enter the court. Jiang Guo has always been known as a great state of etiquette, and he treats the envoys of other countries with all things thorough. As soon as the envoys of Zhao State entered Kyoto, they were greeted by court officials and arranged for them to enter the post house to rest. The envoys of Zhao State entered Beijing to see Jiang Guosheng, and when they entered the post house, they had already handed over the letter of state, asking for a pilgrimage to Jiang Guoshengjun. It's just that the official who was in charge of receiving the envoy laughed and didn't do it, because the road was far away, and the envoy was tired of traveling and traveling, so he should have a good life and rest, and when the Holy One was ready, he should receive him.

The court official refused to accept the letter of state, and the envoys of Zhao State could not force it, so they had to obey the wishes of the court officials and stay in the post house for the time being. It's just that he is also the mission of his country, and he didn't see Liqing for a day, and the envoys of Zhao couldn't help but feel anxious in their hearts, so they handed over the national letters several times in a row, but in exchange for the old words, the envoys of Zhao also understood the meaning of Jiang Guo.

Now that they are defeated in the war to negotiate peace, they have no position with many demands, and Jiang Guo's words are not easy to hit their fighting spirit, that is, they will become more and more chaotic under the anxiety, and when they finally meet, they can refute their many peace talks.

Liqing's ambition is clear, and the envoys are also clear-hearted, how can they be in their land now, even if there are many grievances and helplessness, they have to wait slowly.

It was in the post house for more than half a month, and the envoy waited for Liqing to meet him. (To be continued.) )
