Chapter 417: Conditions for the East
The soldiers outside the city, anxiously waiting, received the news of their master, and learned that they would return to the fiefdom in the near future, and the hearts of the people fell immediately.
Even the soldiers who had been captured did not complain at all.
The fact that the matter can end like this is already the result of many efforts, and there are already contradictions between the royal family, and this time it is not serious.
As Xuanyuan Zichen had expected, a few days later, the news from the frontier was delivered to the capital.
The emperor of Donglin Kingdom, Xia Feng, demanded that Xuanyuan Zichen hand over Luo Shen, and even compensated Donglin for huge losses.
The reason used was that Xuanyuan Zichen had secretly hidden the traitors of the royal family of Donglin Kingdom, which had caused huge losses to Donglin, and such compensation was already light.
But the bottom condition made Xuanyuan Zichen furious, and even stirred up shocking waves in the court.
Summer Wind asked Shen Liuyue to go to Donglin as a princess of Heqin, and said that the marriage between Xuanyuan Zichen and Shen Liuyue was just a joke.
When I saw Shen Liuyue for the first time, I had already lost my heart, if this marriage could be reached, the two countries would be able to achieve peace for many years.
Peace is indeed what the Southern Qing Dynasty wants, but no one is willing to exchange peace in this way, besides, the emperor's ascension to the throne of the Eastern Linguo is bloody in itself, and reasonable people know that even if Shen Liuyue is sent over, the peace in exchange will not last long.
In that case, why agree?!
Above the court, after the little emperor handed the letter to his father-in-law to Xuanyuan Zichen, Xuanyuan Zichen's face was gloomy after reading it, and then he tore the letter to pieces.
"The first two conditions are not mentioned for the time being, only the last one, no matter what, this king will not agree."
There are those who agree with it in the court, and there are naturally those who disagree.
Not unlike the previous peace and war, which were almost halved, this time almost all of them demanded war.
"His Royal Highness the regent has a point, this Donglin Emperor is obviously bullying my Nanqing, although there is some internal turmoil in Nanqing this time, but this is not a reason why they can march into the Donglin country, Weichen implores His Majesty to agree and lead an army to attack Donglin."
This one is obviously a military general, and between his words, he is full of admiration for Xuanyuan Zichen.
After several people reconsidered one after another, another imperial history came out.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the past, including Xuanyuan Zichen and the Little Emperor.
Even though the imperial history trembled, he still said everything that should be said.
"What the regent said is true, but it would be a good thing for the people to be able to restore the peace between the two countries for many years. I know that the regent and the princess are very affectionate, but there are more women in the world, and when the time comes, I will be ordered to choose a concubine and choose another one for the regent. ”
After these words were spoken, many of the officials present widened their eyes.
To be able to say such a thing, this is still a book, and it is simply ridiculous and generous.
Xuanyuan Zichen didn't speak, just looked at the imperial history fixedly.
Yushi originally stood upright, then slowly bent down, and finally knelt down.
completely succumbed to Xuanyuan Zichen's powerful momentum, some people couldn't stand it, and hurriedly came out to appease Xuanyuan Zichen.
"What I just said is a bit unpleasant, but after all, it is also for the people of Dawn, and the regent has the world in mind, and he will definitely be able to understand what he means."
Xuanyuan Zichen slowly raised a smile, this smile was so cold that it made people's hearts tremble, the little emperor couldn't help but shiver, looking at the scene in front of him, there was always an illusion that the scene would be full of blood in the next second.
"Uncle Huang......"
As soon as the two words were spoken, Xuanyuan Zichen spoke.
"If the emperor of the eastern kingdom wants me to be the regent princess, you are willing to give it to him, and if he wants your wife, you are also willing to give it?"
As soon as these words came out, Yu Shi was dissatisfied, and looked at Xuanyuan Zichen's gaze with stubborn firmness.
"His Royal Highness the Prince Regent wants to think about the country, if it really takes a fancy to our wife, we are naturally willing, but this is not the case."
Kneeling and talking didn't hurt his back, and many people present looked at the imperial history, almost as if they were looking at a dead man.
Xuanyuan Zichen walked down slowly, and when he passed by the two imperial historians, the two people collapsed directly on the ground.
Xuanyuan Zichen did not do anything here, but the two of them also understood that they were afraid that from now on, their careers would be buried by their own hands.
If you say that you regret it, then you will naturally regret it, but it is a pity that there has never been a regret medicine for him in this world.
The Regent's Mansion, Shen Xing and Luo Shen were all here, and they had been outside for a few days, and the two of them finally came back to be able to rest and rest, when they suddenly heard such news.
Xuanyuan Zichen's face was calm, Shen Liuyue was also very peaceful, and although Shen Xing's face was slightly distorted, it did not delay him from drinking tea at all.
Among them, the most angry is Luo Shen.
Originally, he was the emperor of the eastern kingdom and the ironclad prince, but because of the summer monsoon rebellion, he became a traitor and thief.
His beloved father and queen mother all died there, and he was burdened with a sea of blood and hatred.
The only ones who could give him warmth were Xuanyuan Zichen and Shen Liuyue.
But how could the shameless summer monsoon not make him angry? 678
At the moment when Luo Shen was about to go out with his long sword, Xuanyuan Zichen and Shen Liuyue got up at the same time and let him press down.
"Luo Shen, I know you're unhappy now, but this matter can't be solved if you're unhappy."
"Sister, you and the prince let me go, I want to go back to the eastern capital, I want to kill that traitor and thief, and avenge my father and mother."
Luo Shen almost gritted his teeth and said such a sentence, his eyes were red as if they were about to drip blood, and his face was distorted, but he suppressed a huge hatred.
Shen Liuyue glanced at Xuanyuan Zichen, and then Xuanyuan Zichen knocked him out directly.
Just when Shen Liuyue was about to help Luo Shen, Xuanyuan Zichen directly pulled her over.
"I'll send him down later, let him rest well, and when he wakes up, he should be able to return to normal."
Shen Xing, who was just sitting and drinking tea next to him, who would have thought that he had watched such a play, quickly got up, carried Luo Shen up at a very fast speed, and smiled at the two of them with extra flattery.
"This won't bother my sister and the prince to worry, I'll send him down immediately, and I won't let him bother the two of you."
After speaking, he disappeared in front of Xuanyuan Zichen and Shen Liuyue like a gust of wind.
It wasn't until he passed that Shen Liuyue reacted.
"Was what we just said scary?"
Xuanyuan Zichen shook his head calmly: "It's because his guts are too small, and he still needs to exercise well."
It was originally a joke, but who knew that it was approved by Shen Liuyue.
"What you say makes a lot of sense, and I agree with that."
So, Luo Shen's matter began so heroically, but ended peacefully.
On the second day, the three vassal kings and Xuanyuan Zichen reunited in the imperial study.
This time, everyone's expressions were very solemn.
"This time it's just the eastern bordering country, and next time there must be other countries, and we can't sit idly by."
The one who spoke turned out to be the King of You.
This prince, who looked very gloomy and usually very quiet, actually showed a character that was completely inconsistent with usual at this time, King Ning and King Wei didn't feel anything, but the little emperor felt a little strange.
"That's true, the conditions of the Eastern Emperor are too harsh, and we can't agree to it. Once these conditions are agreed, then the next time there will be more stringent conditions, and we cannot compromise every time. ”
Because no matter how much you compromise, there is a degree.
Once that degree is exceeded, it causes a huge backlash.
In that case, it is better to agree to nothing from the beginning.
"This incident is indeed because of us, and if we hadn't rushed into the capital, they wouldn't have taken advantage of the situation. Your Majesty, starting tomorrow, Weichen will leave the capital and garrison the fiefdom. ”
The fiefdoms of these three princes happened to be adjacent to the Donglin Kingdom, and they were not stupid, so they could naturally think that after so many actions before, there must have been the intervention of the Donglin Emperor.
The three vassal kings expressed their position together, and the little emperor was very shocked in his heart.
Xuanyuan Zichen had a calm face, and he had already drunk several cups of tea sitting there.
"This matter is so decided, we will discuss the rest at that time, and the princes will go back first starting tomorrow."
Speaking of which, it was time to leave, because there were a bunch of things to deal with when he wanted to go back, but none of the three princes moved.
In the end, it was King Ning who spoke.
"Before, because of the rebellion in the south, we lost a large number of soldiers in the capital, and this time, the soldiers we are in are also elite soldiers in the fiefdom, although I don't know if it can reach the previous level, but I hope to be able to set aside half to guard the capital."
King Ning's tone was very light, but his attitude was very resolute, and the little emperor was also deeply moved, he never thought that several princes would think so much about Nanqing.
"Thank you, Grandpa."
King You and King Wei saw the little emperor's reddish eyes, as well as the corners of Xuanyuan Zichen's slightly hooked mouth, and the scene became very warm for a while.
"The past is not to blame, Your Majesty should be able to understand a lot this time, I hope to be able to become a wise Majesty and live up to the wisdom of the previous emperor."
If the first emperor can sit on this throne for another ten years, I am afraid that by then, the Southern Qing Dynasty will be the most powerful of all countries.
Since there is no what if, then they wait patiently.
"Thank you to a few imperial grandfathers, I was young and bewitched by villains before. In the future, we must be cautious in our words and deeds, and we must consult the Pope's uncle and other ministers for all important matters. ”
"Listen to and believe, the regent is the most literate and martial, and he has everything, but after all, there is something he doesn't understand, and His Majesty should ask others more to improve himself."
Several princes stayed in the imperial study for an afternoon, and their words were serious, most of them were persuasions to the little emperor.
And this afternoon, the little emperor benefited a lot.
