Regarding the terms of the negotiation, on the surface, Qingling still insisted on his own views and refused to back down. Secretly, but he is also searching for a solution.

After careful investigation, the reason why she was so anxious to promote the peace negotiation with Chaoyan Jiuqiu was nothing more than to free Luo Yao from the contradictions between the two countries as soon as possible, so that he would no longer have to be restrained and be free.

But on the other hand, she can't ignore Mu Chen's position and seek the smooth progress of the peace talks at the expense of Chaoyan's interests.

Since the beginning of the new policy, in order to calm the resistance of the important ministers of Lingxiao City, and at the same time to appease and control a noble family like the Mo Nan clan, every step Mu Chen took was also very difficult. If there is another move that seems to put Chaoyan at a disadvantage in the peace proposal he proposed, then I am afraid that there will be another round of storms in the court.

These entanglements, she didn't want to tell Luo Yaoming.

To this day, she is still a little taboo about mentioning Mu Chen in front of Luo Yao, mentioning her concern for him that she can't give up......

But Luo Yao vaguely guessed Qing Ling's thoughts, and comforted her from the side: "I said it early in the morning, these things are not in a hurry, so you don't have to put too much pressure on yourself." ”

Qing Ling said: "Then you can't wait without thinking." ”

Luo Yao hugged Qing Ling from behind, rubbed his chin against her forehead, and said slowly, "As long as you are willing to wait, this matter will not be too difficult to do." Now both sides are unwilling to budge, because they have their own misgivings, and they have no hope of trusting each other and the prospect of negotiating peace. When you led the implementation of the New Deal, didn't you encounter a similar situation? Since everyone has doubts, we will find ways to dispel them and experience the benefits of peace for each other. ”

Qing Ling turned his head, "You mean ......"

Luo Yao took over and said slowly: "I mean, find a way to make a gap and make some results first." ”

Qing Ling silently pondered Luo Yao's words, and for a while, sighed in a low voice, "To be honest, I can't really afford to wait. I just don't want us to be caught between the contradictions of the struggle between the two countries, and we are always worried that one day we will start to fight again, and we will not be able to live at ease, and we will not even have a good normal life. ”

"I understand." Luo Yao tightened his arms slightly, hugged the person in his arms tighter, and said with a smile in a perk-hearted tone: "Then let's find a place to try to implement the political actions on the terms of the peace talks, and live the life we should live on the other, okay?" ”

This person, every time he encounters a particularly difficult and important matter, he can face it with a calm and breezy appearance, as if he can easily solve the most complex situation and find the shortest path to the goal in a conversation and laughter......

Qing Ling turned his head to look at Luo Yao inquiringly, but he grabbed his hand, walked to the side of the desk and sat down.

Luo Yao slightly straightened his expression, and slowly recounted some of the ideas in his heart.

Qing Ling didn't feel serious after hearing this, thought for a long time, and based on his previous experience in implementing the new policy, he raised a bunch of questions, and discussed with Luo Yao for half a day.

At the end, she raised her cheeks and asked, "Do you think your mother and those courtiers in Jiuqiu will agree?" ”

Luo Yao said: "I will convince them. After a pause, he raised his eyes to look at Qing Ling, "Chao Yan, are you sure to convince?" ”

Qing Ling said: "This is not a loss to Chao Yan, I can try my best." ”

That night, she considered her tone and wrote a letter to Mu Chen, and Luo Yao also went to see her mother alone, talking with candles until late at night.

A few days later, Luo Ji announced in the court that the Chaoyan Empire had opened Wutong Town, which was at the junction of Jiuqiu and Daze, and allowed the people of Jiuqiu to enter and exit freely, trade and trade. All the people of Jiuqiu who moved into Wutong Town to settle down can be exempted from all kinds of regular and miscellaneous servants in Jiuqiu, and at the same time, they do not have to pay taxes to Chaoyan or any of the countries in Jiuqiu.

As soon as the news came out, the whole country was a sensation, and the people who watched the notice in Zhangyao City exchanged their heads and talked about it. The Jiuqiu people who had experience in business and peddling in Wutong Town were all dug up and played the role of answering questions.

Because Wutong Town is located at the junction of Chaoyan, Daze and Jiuqiu, the geographical environment is excellent, and before the southern expedition of Chaoyan, it was a place where prosperous and lively merchants gathered. Many people from the demon clan also had business there, and took charge of most of the town's black market, prostitution parlors, and underground casinos. After the war, Chaoyan blocked the border, and these people who went out to do business returned to Jiuqiu one after another, but the impression of the rich and comfortable life in the past is still vivid and attractive.

With the descriptions of these people, many of the people who still hesitated and speculated in the streets, especially the young people who were eager to make a career, gradually began to move.

In the palace, Luo Yao also tried his best to persuade the courtiers who disagreed.

He said to Chi Wangji, "Last time, didn't your lord say that you should consider the wishes of the people? Now the choice is in their own hands, and they are free to stay, and there is no such thing as selling. ”

Chi Wangzhu pursed his beard, "What if you can be exempted from forced labor and not pay taxes?" Isn't this a blatant deficit in the treasury? ”

Luo Yao smiled politely: "The difference will be borne by the Daze Imperial Marquis Mansion." ”

When the ministers heard this, they looked at each other and exchanged glances with each other.

To tell the truth, Jiuqiu's relatives and close ministers have always been quite taboo about the fact that their heroine had married Baili Yu and gave birth to a pair of children of the gods.

According to the most ideal state, after Luo Jia and Baili Yu reconciled, he should have chosen another husband among the demon clan and gave birth to an heir to the throne with pure demon blood. However, for hundreds of years, the queen has refused to remarry, let alone produce a new heir. And Luo Heng, the other remaining person in the Luo clan, was originally very qualified to lead the demons and dominate the Eastern Continent, but since the Great War, his temperament has become more and more crazy, not to mention, he was sealed by Luo Ling, and it is really difficult to ascend to the throne again.

At the beginning, because Luo Jia seemed to be quite cold to his son, he had been turned away and refused to meet him for hundreds of years, and everyone secretly had some expectations, thinking that the heroine would eventually figure it out one day, and she would eventually remarry and have children. However, somehow, the last time this Baili boy came to visit again, he was suddenly accepted by the heroine. Not only was he accepted, but he also took a group of people to listen to politics and participate in deliberations.

The courtiers looked at Luo Yao's demeanor and demeanor calmly, and he knew how to grasp the balance between his words, and he seemed to be extremely intelligent, even Luo Heng, the national teacher who has always been arrogant, had personally said that with Luo Yao's cultivation today, it is not impossible to surpass him in the future.

This is undoubtedly of subversive significance in Jiuqiu, where the heroes of military cultivation are the heroes......

But just when everyone gradually accepted Luo Yao as the crown prince of Jiuqiu, the news of Emperor Hao's marriage daughter came from Lingxiao City......

This kind of factors and complex background implication have made old ministers like Chi Wangqi always have a contradictory attitude towards Luo Yao, and they have added a sensitive vigilance and uncertainty to the scrutiny of the future crown prince.

So no matter how seamless and comprehensive Luo Yao's answer is, everyone in the hall always has a kind of reluctance to be manipulated and deceived.

In the end, Luo Jia stood up and said in a categorical tone: "No need to talk about it. The Imperial Decree has been issued, and it would be a waste of time to argue about right and wrong here. Chaoyan dared to withdraw the garrison and open the door, did the people of Jiuqiu only dare to curl up at home and not get out? Wutong Town is just a small land, and even if the border is opened, it can be closed at any time. Whether those clauses in the peace talks are good or bad for Jiuqiu, then you just need to wait and see the results and make a decision! ”

Although Luo Jia is not good at using iron and blood to control the court, he is also a very shrewd and intelligent person, and he knows how to grasp the opportunity very well, and he hits with one blow, making it difficult for the other party to refute. In order to test Qingling's bottom line before, there had not been too many positive interventions, but at this time, he opened his mouth clearly, as if he had the majesty of instantly deterring the ministers.

After the matter was settled, Qing Ling and Luo Yao set off to return to Liangxia City and began to prepare for the opening of the boundary of Wutong Town.

On the way, Qing Ling asked Luo Yao with some doubts: "How did you convince your mother?" Her previous attitude of refusing to give in was very clear. ”

Luo Yao glared at Qing Ling, "After all, my mother has been the daughter-in-law of a businessman for two hundred years, and she knows how to bargain, and the most taboo is to expose her bottom line at the beginning. The more stringent the initial conditions, the greater the room for concessions in the future. At this point, you really are no match for her. ”

Qing Ling feigned anger and said, "Since you can see it clearly, why didn't you mention me earlier?" ”

Luo Yao joked: "Didn't you try your best to please her?" Do you know what my mother is most afraid of? It's not how ostentatious you dress, it's how deep your mind is. In fact, she doesn't mind that I marry the emperor of Chaoyan, and she is worried that a woman from a background like you is too calculating and manipulates her son. If you are stupid, she will like you more. ”

"You're stupid, you're stupid!"

Qing Ling was angry, and snorted and said: "No wonder they all say, cunning son cunning mother, you are really similar to your mother!" ”

Luo Yao hugged Qing Ling, and whispered doting and gentle, "Isn't it good for me to be cunning?" Leave it to me whatever you want to do, even against a shrewd person like my mother, and you don't have to bother with it, just sit back and enjoy it, isn't it? ”

Qing Ling shook his head, "Not good." ”

"Then you strategize, and I'll be at your disposal?"

"It's not good. I love to do it myself! ”

Luo Yao lowered his head and kissed the corner of Qing Ling's lips, and sighed helplessly: "It's okay to do it yourself, just practice your brain, and the son born in the future can also be smarter." ”

Qing Ling was stunned, then reacted, and then there was another laugh......

In Liangxia City, Chun Yuyan and other officials and generals stationed here had already received the imperial order from Mu Chen from Lingxiao City, and began to evacuate the Chaoyan garrison around Wutong Town.

After Chun Yuyan saw Qingling, he teased: "What are you saying is to carry out large-scale reform measures in the southern realm, but as soon as you come, you only care about helping Jiuqiu solve the problem." It seems that once this person becomes a relative, he will begin to favor his own small family. ”

Qing Ling looked at Chun Yuyan, her eyes were full of sympathy and pity, "When you become a relative in the future, you have to be partial if you are not partial, otherwise you will ......" shook his head and sighed, "Anyway, you are miserable enough......"

When your kid marries Ning Yan and harvests such a cunning mother-in-law, the hard days are still to come!

Chun Yuyan was confused when he heard it, "What's miserable?" What's miserable? ”

Qing Ling pursed the corners of her lips and calmly dusted her sleeves, and Bai Yun took the wind away, leaving Luo Yao in place, smiling silently.

Half a month later, Qingling moved to Wutong Town, and moved into the manor where Xian Xian had lived before with Luo Yao.

Several confidant officials sent by Mu Chen from Lingxiao City arrived in Wutong Town one after another to assist Qingling in handling various matters such as withdrawing troops and opening the border. Qiu Zhi, Qingling's maid who stayed in the capital, also moved over with other servants to serve the daily life of the emperor.

Soon, this small garden in the town seemed to have the momentum of the former Kyoto Imperial Palace's crowded visitors and secret control.
