Just when the imperial court was shocked by the re-invasion of the Qishan bandits, I didn't expect that just one day later, Tong Guan's recital came again, and the content of the recital also made the emperor and ministers angry and helpless.

Tong Guan said in the recital that he and Wang Hao thought that the Qishan bandits were going to attack again, and at the same time sent an urgent report to the imperial court, they immediately ordered the army to prepare for the enemy, but there was no movement on the side of the Qishan bandits, and after waiting for a day, they received a handwritten letter written by Zhu Wu from the Qishan bandits.

Zhu Wu said in the letter that the Qishan army's attack on Hongzhou this time was completely the private act of a general of the Qishan army who did not obey the command, not his order, and that he had ordered all the Qishan troops that had invaded Hongzhou to withdraw from Hongzhou again, and promised to severely punish the general who acted privately afterwards, and he hoped that the "misunderstanding" would not have any impact on the peace talks between the two sides. But at the end of the letter, Zhu Wu also euphemistically revealed a "news" to Tong Guan and Wang Hao, saying that he himself very much hoped to be able to turn the war with the imperial court into a jade silk, but the Qishan army had not yet formed a unified opinion on peace talks with the imperial court, and there was still a huge opposition force that did not want peace talks with the imperial court, and although he was the lord of the Qishan army, he had nothing to do about it, and this attack on Hongzhou was a proof. At present, he can still try his best to control the situation, but it is difficult to guarantee that as the peace talks drag on for a longer time, he can only make concessions to the generals who oppose the peace talks, so he hopes that the imperial court can give an answer as soon as possible, otherwise, the 300,000 Qishan army is very likely to launch an attack on the Great Song Dynasty when it is out of control!

Threat! Although Zhu Wu said it well, saying what kind of "misunderstanding" it was, and what kind of "private behavior" of a general who did not listen to the command, the emperor and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military personnel understood very well that this was a naked threat! Who is Zhu Wu deceiving, who doesn't know that he is among the thieves in Qishan, who dares to oppose him?! This is Zhu Wu and Qishan Thief Kou using this way to prove their strength and urge the imperial court to make a decision quickly, they are already a little impatient to wait, if the imperial court does not give a reply, they will not talk about it, they will start a big war again!

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all scolded the Qishan thieves for being shameless, but they could not but face them squarely. Because Tong Guan said at the end of the rush play, although the southeast army has been replenished a lot by relying on the negotiation period of more than a month, the current total strength is only 130,000, and most of these 130,000 people are new recruits who have not experienced the last war, and have not yet formed an effective combat effectiveness, if there is another big war at this time, the situation will be very unfavorable to the southeast army! Tong Guan implored the emperor to immediately dispatch the forbidden army of the Beijing division or the main force of the western army to the south to support the southeast!

The Jingshi Forbidden Army must not move casually, otherwise what if Zheng Linfeng reverses again? Although the western army can be mobilized, the northwest is three or four thousand miles away from the southeast, and even if they are dispatched at this time, it will be a month or two before they reach the southeast, and far water will not quench their thirst!

Finally, in this grim situation, the emperor once again had no choice but to make the decision he wanted to make, the imperial court has been mired in the southeast quagmire for too long, since it is impossible to quell the southeast rebellion in a short time, then accept the conditions of the Qishan thieves, you can marry the princess!

Now that the emperor has decided to marry the princess, the first problem to be solved is to determine which princess should be married.

The eldest princess, Emperor Jiade, Zhao Yupan, has married Zeng Kun, the general of the Left Guard, at the beginning of this year, and the eldest princess is definitely not good. The third oldest third princess, Emperor Ande, Zhao Jinluo, has just turned thirteen years old this year, and it is even more impossible to be a child. Therefore, there is only one candidate to choose from, that is the second princess Rongde Emperor Ji Zhao Jinnu, the second princess has just turned eighteen this year, and there is no marriage contract, she is naturally the most suitable and the only candidate!

This is also the reason why the crown prince Zhao Huan took the risk to strongly oppose the marriage, because he knew very well that as long as the emperor agreed to the marriage, the second princess could only be the only person to marry the Qishan thief leader, but the second princess was his half-sister, the only sister left to him by his poor mother, Queen Wang!

When Queen Wang died of a tragic illness, her little sister Zhao Jinnu, who was still ignorant, cried in front of her mother's coffin and asked him, "Brother, where did my mother go?" Jin Nu misses his mother. ”

He was only eight years old and hugged his little sister and said to her in tears, "My mother is gone, I will never come back, my sister don't cry, my brother will take care of you in the future!" The palace maids and eunuchs present burst into tears when they saw this.

Since then, although there is still a father, there is also a large group of half-brothers and sisters around, but this pair of brothers and sisters only regard each other as their only support, and now the brothers and sisters have grown up, Zhao Huan planned to choose a wishful husband for his sister last year, so that his sister can marry as a princess in a beautiful manner, so as to stay away from this cold and impersonal palace, but this matter was delayed with Zhao Huan going to the southeast to suppress bandits, but unexpectedly, today was hit by this heavy blow!

Zhao Huan's bowels are green, he really deserves to die, why do you have to go to that damn southeast, otherwise the little sister may have promised to marry someone else at this time, won't she be able to avoid this disaster?!

Zhao Huan wanted to make amends, he rushed to beg the emperor to change his mind immediately after the emperor retreated, "Father, Jin Nugui is the daughter of the Son of Heaven, how can he marry a thief?!" ”

The emperor said, "Since you are the daughter of the Son of Heaven, you must have the consciousness of sacrificing for the country at all times!" Which dynasty and generation have not been like this throughout the ages?! ”

Zhao Huan hurriedly said, "Even so, why do you have to sacrifice a real emperor?" Wouldn't it be okay to choose a woman of the right age from the clan and make her a princess and then marry? Isn't that the case with Princess Wencheng in ancient times? ”

The emperor refused again, "Princess Wencheng is married to Tubo, how can Tubo know if she is a real princess." Qishan thief Kou is not a barbarian outside the Saiwai, the whole world knows how many daughters I have, how can they not know? If you anger the thieves because of this, won't you give up all your efforts! ”

Zhao Huan was so anxious that his tears were about to fall, and he cried unscrupulously under the stimulation of the little sister being hit by this catastrophe and the resentment caused by years of suppression, "Father, please have mercy on our brother and sister, the child is just this one sister, the mother died so miserably, how can the sister ......,"

Hearing this sentence, the emperor was angry, good boy, are you blaming me for killing your mother? It turns out that you have been close to your father for so many years as close to your other brothers because of this?!

The emperor stretched out a trembling finger at Zhao Huan and said angrily, "You...... You......! But he didn't say anything after a few words of "you", and finally flicked his sleeves and left angrily, leaving Zhao Huan alone to kneel and ...... on the spot.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

On the second day when the emperor decided to agree to the marriage, a decree was issued from Tokyo and sent to the southeast as quickly as possible, a few days later, Tong Guan and Wang Hao received the decree in the southeast, but the content of the decree was actually known to them, and more than that, the prince was really angry with the emperor in the palace that day, and they also knew about it, and the two of them took the decree to the end, took the decree in their hands and smiled, and then sent someone to inform the Qishan thieves that they could start new negotiations.

Not to mention, with the special significance of the princess's marriage, the negotiation really went a lot smoother, only after two days of consultation, the negotiation had a preliminary result, and then Wang Hao and Fang La respectively reported to Tokyo and Hangzhou, and then the emperor and Zhu Wu made the final decision.

Ten days later, the emperor's reply arrived in the southeast, and there was only one word, quasi! As early as seven days ago, Zhu Wu's approval had already been issued.

At this point, the negotiations finally had an accurate result, that is, the Qishan Army returned the Jiangnan East Road to the Great Song Dynasty, retaining only the Liangzhejiang Road, and at the same time, the Great Song Dynasty could send a total of no more than 20,000 troops to the Liangzhejiang Road, and could station civilian governors in some prefectures and counties on the Liangzhejiang Road.

As a condition, the Great Song Dynasty will Rongde Emperor Ji Zhao Jinnu marry Zhu Wu and canonize Zhu Wu as the Duke of Wu Guo, the two Zhejiang Road through a slightly pacified envoy, Zhu Wu on behalf of the Great Song Dynasty in charge of the Qishan Army, in the future Zhu Wu after receiving the order of the Great Song Dynasty, need to send a total strength of not less than 100,000 troops to help the Great Song Dynasty. At the same time, the Qishan Army enjoyed the right to tax revenue on the Liangzhejiang Road, and the Great Song Dynasty carried out normal trade with the Liangzhejiang Road!

On the tenth day of October in the seventh year of Zhenghe, Emperor Rongde Zhao Jinnu left Tokyo and went to the southeast under the escort of the royal master of ceremonies.
