In order to appease the Southern Jin Dynasty, a special envoy was sent to Jinling, only talking about the withdrawal of troops from Jingzhou on both sides.

Although the old emperor Sima Zhen lowered his eyebrows, he couldn't hide his excitement, and warmly welcomed the envoys of Beiliang with a grand pomp, and cherished the delicious taste with good wine and meat, so that the banquet hall was staggered and staggered.

At the banquet, the old emperor praised the Northern Liang's resistance to the barbarians, saying, we are all Han people, we all uphold Confucianism, and the education of the people is also self-cultivation, family harmony, governing the country, and leveling the world. The world is the world of our Han people, so we don't want to fight in our own family, what can't we sit down and talk about? This time, Liu Xun, the emperor of Shu Han, Huangkou Xiaoer, the milk smell has not dried, and the little rabbit cub attacked Daliang again, I have sent a messenger to severely reprimand him, and I also told him that if he dares to go further, I will block the trade road and send troops to attack. He is still young and does not know how to enjoy peace, and as his senior, I have the responsibility to educate him well.

The envoy of the Northern Liang Dynasty, Wu Yinyin, was highly regarded in the Southern Jin Dynasty, and from the emperor to several ministers in the cabinet, they were all polite. Seeing that Wu Yongyin was so young and famous, the monarch and ministers cooperated with a rainbow fart to coax Wu Yongyin, who had always adhered to etiquette, into a little unbearable.

The two sides reached an agreement that on June 15 in the eighth year of the Liang Dynasty (72 years of Huabao in the Southern Jin Dynasty), the two sides withdrew their troops together. Liang Tianzi returned to China and said that he agreed.

Until June 19, after receiving a message from Xiangcheng, the Southern Jin Dynasty had really withdrawn its troops, and Wu Yiyin felt that his task had been completed and planned to leave, but the emperor Sima Zhen personally came forward to keep him and let him stay in Jiangnan for a few more days.

Needless to say, Yin couldn't refute the emperor's face, so he stayed for half a month.

wanted to leave again, Yan Songling, the first assistant minister of the Southern Jin Dynasty cabinet, stayed for another ten days.

This cabinet chief assistant has a lot of prestige in the Southern Jin Dynasty, and he is also quite appreciative, so it is difficult to refute his face.

After ten days, he was leaving, and the deputy minister of the cabinet, Xin Wudao, stayed for another five days.

The face of Lord Shoufu was given, but the face of Lord Suke was not given, so I was afraid that it would not be reasonable, so I stayed for another five days.

On the fifth day, Wu Yiyin said that he missed his mother and became ill, and he couldn't go anymore, so don't persuade me again. In this way, the emperor of the Southern Jin Dynasty let him go, and gave Wu Yinyin's old mother a thousand taels of gold, a nine-beaded jade golden phoenix crown, ten top-quality silk, and ten horses.

If these gifts were brought back, Wu Yin would be too ignorant, but he would only symbolically receive an ingot of gold, and all other gifts would be politely declined, and he would set off on the same day.

When he came to the riverside, he was just about to board the salute boat, and the waiter of the Southern Jin Dynasty Rite Department hurriedly ran over, asking Wu Yuyin to accept these gifts, otherwise he would not be able to be an official, and said that if you don't accept it, you can give it to the emperor of your country, which is also a beautiful thing.

Since people say so, the private gift has become a national gift, and it is not good for him to refuse the gift for the emperor, so he agreed.

Back in the Liang Dynasty, put the gifts in the Ministry of Rites first, and came to see Emperor Zhao Ce with the gift list in hand.

After the emperor saw it, he said, "Keep the horses, and you can take the rest." ”

"The minister is terrified."

"Why?"

"This time the minister went to the Southern Jin Dynasty to know what a prosperous world is, which is really an eye-opener, in comparison, the treasury of my Liang Dynasty may not be as much money as a wealthy merchant in the Jin Dynasty. In such a time of national crisis, how dare the minister accept this generous gift, and ask the emperor to accept it and fill the treasury. ”

"Hey." Zhao Ce sighed and said, "It's hard for you to be sincere, okay, a phoenix crown and a silk cloth will be rewarded to your mother, you won't postpone it any longer, right?" ”

"The silk is accepted by the ministers, and the phoenix crown is the crown of the queen's level, and the ministers dare not accept it."

"Look at you, I reward you, are you still worried about trespassing? Your mother is not a lady of the decree, take it, and enjoy the national gift. ”

Zhao Ce is already twenty-one years old, with a long body, thick eyebrows and short beard, and he looks more majestic as an emperor.

But now Zhao Ce is also more and more able to see the situation clearly, knowing what he should do, what he should say, and what he shouldn't do, he doesn't try to do it, and he doesn't say a word about what he shouldn't say. He has one queen, two side concubines, and all the others are vacant.

The emperor didn't say it, but Wu Yiyin understood that the emperor wanted to save the expenses of the harem.

Emperor Zhide was really a good emperor, but unfortunately he didn't catch up with the good times and couldn't give full play to his benevolence in governing the country. Since his accession to the throne, the national strength of the Liang Dynasty has declined instead of increasing, the population has decreased, the finances are stretched, and the annual military expenditure has overwhelmed him.

According to the regulations of the Ministry of Rites, the emperor has several sets of clothes every year, and the emperor exempts them, and the queen Tang Qi is doing needlework in the harem, and others don't believe it. Once, because eggs were expensive, the emperor was furious and held all the relevant responsible persons (including supervisors) responsible for twenty and expelled them from the palace. The emperor's frugality is already famous. The imperial kitchen and eunuch had to bargain for food, and they didn't even dare to buy the top dishes, but bought the middle food, which was unheard of in history.

"Tang Xiaoyu is naughty again, you don't care."

Emperor Zhao Ce came to the queen's house and saw that Tang Xiaoyu was bullying the little princess Zhao Jue, he didn't speak, but the eunuch was so frightened that he hurriedly ran over to separate the child, and cursed the palace maid who looked at the child, is she blind, the palace maid just ran out of the toilet, and she was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and trembled.

"A three-year-old baby, who knows what bullying is, is just playing." Tang Qi is four years older than the emperor, and his tone of voice is becoming more and more like the queen mother, and he does not save face for the emperor, "I heard that Cao Sheng withdrew his troops from Jingzhou." ”

"Well, the troops are withdrawn."

Tang Qi sighed, "I don't think we should withdraw our troops." ”

"If the Southern Jin Dynasty calls, what should you do? The million-strong army of the Southern Jin Dynasty, who will resist? Zhao Ce had a cold face.

Tang Qi raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Ce, lowered his head and continued to sew clothes for the child, "Now, the Liang Dynasty is supporting so many soldiers, and the treasury expenditure is beyond its means, so it should not stop attacking at this time." Liu Xun led 200,000 troops to attack Hanzhong, we concentrated 300,000 troops to counterattack, Zhang Yunlong has already disabled the main force of the enemy, and took this opportunity to let Cao Sheng, Xiao Han, and Bai Ke take Shu Han in one go. When the Southern Jin Dynasty called, we still had 200,000 troops, and it was a fight to carry them for three months. Even if we can't fight, we can retreat to Chengdu and defend Hanzhong, but if we block it, we will get the country of abundance, and then fight to the death with the Southern Jin Dynasty. ”。

In fact, Tang Qi just has nothing to do, she doesn't have to sew clothes by hand at all, she is just uncomfortable.

Zhao Ce looked at it, Tang Qi was sewing clothes for Tang Xiaoyu again, this child was so naughty, and his mouth was very broken, he was just three years old and wowed in the house all day long, claiming to be the king and dominating in the palace, and always bullying other children.
