As soon as Zhou Yuanqing heard the old eunuch Tang Fuquan's reply, he first suddenly realized 'oh', and then leaned down slightly, carefully looking at Shen Gui's appearance again.

"Hmm...... It really has eight points of resemblance to Shen Ang back then...... Hey, Shen Gui, Shen Gui, when I saw you today, I remembered the past with your father again...... That's it, the past of Chen Sesame and rotten millet will not be talked about at the court meeting, let's talk about the issue of Donghaiguan first, right? Now that the King of Zhongshan is coming to Yanjing City in person, you must be the little ...... in Youbei Emperor Xingping, like me, also hoped that the two norths could live in peace; Then in that case, you can also speak up in this hall! What are your plans for the East China Sea Xiongguan that has been turned into a scorched earth? ”

Even if Shen Gui was anxious at this time, it was not good to abolish the public for personal reasons, and in front of the ministers of Beiyan, he asked about his own housework......

"Back to the words of Emperor Beiyan. I think that in the past hundred years, the never-ending war between the two norths has made both you and me pay an extremely painful price. Innocent people have been displaced, and countless soldiers have been bloodstained at the border; Now the land within more than 200 miles of the East Customs has been soaked in blood...... My Emperor Xingping of the Third Road in the North is a rare benevolent and righteous monarch in ancient times! He really didn't want to start a war lightly, and he didn't want to see the tragic situation of living and corpses all over the field; It is precisely because of this that His Majesty will appoint Xiao Wang as an envoy to the Northern Yan Dynasty to discuss with His Majesty the matter of the restoration of peace between the two norths. In order to show the sincerity of the peace talks, His Majesty the Emperor Xingping of my family is willing to withdraw from the country of Youbei Third Road - East Customs; And I hope to work with the Northern Yan Dynasty to turn this murderous battlefield into a bazaar for two traders......"

"Presumptuous!"

Just as Shen Gui's saliva was flying, an old man in his sixties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a voice like thunder, suddenly shouted; As soon as the end fell, he didn't wait for Emperor Tianyou or Shen Gui to continue speaking, but hurriedly took two steps and stood beside Shen Gui.

"Your Majesty, in the past hundred years, the Liaodong Road of my Northern Yan Dynasty has been 'stolen' by these barbarians who 'drink blood'; But instead of repenting and not reciting His Majesty's kindness, they also 'attacked' the east gate of my Northern Yan Dynasty all year round! Not only that, but even Guo Xiao, the old marquis of our Pingbei Army, died under the conspiracy of this son; And Liang Jing, the old minister's beloved son-in-law, also died in the fire of the East Customs...... Ultimately...... In the end, he ended up with no bones left......"

Wang Fang's words were sincere! And when he talked about the son-in-law who died tragically in the Donghai Customs, his eyes were even redder, his words were choked, and he said that those colleagues who were good friends with him on weekdays also said that they had the same hatred and hatred, and turned his head to look at the 'Fanbang envoy' who was wearing a 'fur' - Shen Gui.

But the most regrettable thing is that Wang Zuocheng's words not only did not move the 'murderer', but also did not move his own master, Zhou Yuanqing.

"Wang Zuocheng is slow...... Shen Gui, as the king of Zhongshan on the three roads of Youbei, will not abandon thousands of miles away to send an envoy to my Northern Yan Dynasty, isn't it just for the peace and tranquility between the two norths? I believe in him and in the sincerity of the Emperor of Youbei; And for this, I also believe that all my ministers in Beiyan can also feel it. Since we claim to be Huayu orthodoxy, how can we be rude to others on top of this purple and gold ceremony? I would also like to remind you once again: Today we will only talk about the peace talks between the two norths; As for the grievances and grievances of the past, put them aside for the time being! ”

"Your Majesty... Ay... The old minister obeys the order! ”

Wang Fang, the widowed prime minister of Zuo, who felt sorry for his daughter, gave Shen Gui a vicious glance before retreating from the queue, but from beginning to end, Shen Gui's eyes were never on him at all.

"Your Majesty, just what Wang Zuocheng said, but the old minister didn't dare to agree! The minister thinks that this peace talks between the two countries are really a matter of course and the interests of the people! Because of the endless disputes between the two norths, it has been nearly 100 years; But these battles have been fought in tens of millions, and neither of our two families has gained anything from it! As the so-called sandpiper and clam compete, the fisherman profits! The protracted and meaningless war of attrition between our two families has taken advantage of the situation to rise up the Nankang Dynasty! Therefore, according to the old minister's humble opinion, now is the perfect opportunity for the two norths to strike the army and make peace! Because Lao Chen can almost assert that as long as the struggle between the two norths continues, within twenty years, Nankang will definitely wave his army to the north, and then take advantage of the situation to unify the Huayu continent! ”

At this time, the person who came out of the column to start the performance was the right prime minister of Youbei Third Road - Cai Xi and Cai Xianyang. Don't look at him, he is only one year older than that Wang Zuocheng, but the appearance of the two is very different! This Cai Youcheng's eyebrows and beard are now gray; His face was full of wrinkles, and it looked as if one foot had stepped into a coffin; And when he walked, he also looked crumbling; Shen Guizhen, who was standing next to him, was afraid that he would be careless, stumble on his right foot with his left foot, and then 'bump' to death on this golden palace......

But Shen Gui looked at Emperor Tianyou's indifferent expression again, as if he had long been accustomed to this right prime minister who could die suddenly at any time; Not only did he not mention his physical condition, but asked his opinion with great interest:

"Then, according to Cai Youcheng's opinion, in the two northern peace talks, what kind of attitude should my Northern Yan Dynasty have?"

"Naturally, I should show my Huayu's orthodox broad mind to the Youbei Yan family, and by the way, I can show His Majesty's generosity and benevolence to the people of Youbei. According to the old minister, since the three roads in Youbei have released enough goodwill in advance; Then our Northern Yan Dynasty should naturally repay the favor and promote peace talks between the two countries as soon as possible, so that the people on both sides can get peace and stability. As for the disputed East Customs? The old minister thought ......"

Next, it was this Cai Youcheng who was talking about the details of the transactions reached between Shen Gui and the four princes that day; Although there is a slight discrepancy in the specific number, under the 'check and fill in the gaps' of Emperor Tianyou, the two monarchs and ministers actually finished singing a double reed lively; it was not until the two monarchs and ministers finally 'discussed' a 'bottom line' that Emperor Tianyou Zhou Yuanqing smiled at the stunned Shen Gui:

"We and the other monarchs and ministers have now discussed the final result, I don't know if the envoy heard this, do you think this method is feasible?"

In addition to praising their monarchs and ministers in his heart for their 'superb acting skills', what else could Shen Gui say?

Frankly speaking, in fact, the result of this negotiation has greatly exceeded Shen Gui's expectations. Because the real situation of Youbei Third Road is actually as embarrassing as the Beiyan people expected, and it may even be more dangerous than what Shen Gui himself knew. To put it bluntly, even if they really hand over the East Customs to Youbei Third Road, then it will not only be a very heavy burden for Youbei that is now 'leaking around', but also in the future 'peacetime', it may not be able to bring rich economic benefits to Youbei Third Road!

You must know that there are many important trading towns in the Northern Yan Dynasty, and there is no shortage of this East Customs at all! There is no need to mention the far ones, and a single 'north gate' located in Yanjing, Yanzhou, Sanjin, and Mobei is enough to make the East Customs completely useless after the reconstruction.

This is also the reason why Shen Gui has tried his best, and he has to pull the Northern Yan Dynasty! And he also had to give away that piece of the pie in a way that was almost 'for nothing'! After all, although the Beiyan Zhou family is clever and cunning, it is estimated that they do not have the "courage" of 'kicking their own pots and smashing their own dishes and chopsticks' that 'six relatives do not recognize'!

Sometimes, cutting flesh and letting blood is also a means of inviting you into the urn.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Shen Guizheng withdrew from the Zijin Hall with the crowd, but Tang Fuquan, the great eunuch of the Standing Palace, who was caught up, was quietly pulled aside:

"Your Majesty will hold a banquet in the garden to wash the dust for you......"

When Shen Guiyi heard this, he finally cheered up some spirits: It seems that it is time to 'talk about business'!

Shen Gui, who went to the back garden for the banquet, followed behind Father-in-law Tang and walked a long distance around the corner. It wasn't until Shen Gui, who was seriously lacking in sleep, came back to his senses again that the two of them were already in a pavilion......

After all, Shen Gui is also a person who is used to seeing 'big scenes', and in his previous life, he had also made many 'field trips' to the splendid royal palace gardens. But the Qionglou Yuyu he saw at the beginning were all 'relics' that had gone through the invasion and turmoil of the years, and then been repaired and restored by later generations, and the picture scroll that unfolded in front of him today was the original face of the royal palace.

Although Shen Gui's vision and spirit are very high, he also has to admit one thing in his heart: if you compare it only with the scale of the palace, then Youbei Sanlu is regarded as a 'grass platform team' dynasty, and it is indeed not wronged!

When the Emperor of Heavenly Blessing, who had changed into civilian clothes, slowly walked in front of him, Shen Gui switched back from the 'travel mode'......

"It's hard for you to wake up early in the morning today, and you haven't had time to eat yet, right? Come on, follow me to the warm pavilion and take a rest; Let's fill our stomachs while watching the snow......"

As Zhou Yuanqing spoke, he excitedly pulled up Shen Gui's 'Maomao' cuffs, and the two walked into the warm pavilion behind them one after the other.

At this time, in the warm pavilion, a charcoal stove had already been put into a charcoal stove by the palace maid; On top of the burning charcoal, there is also a pot of multigrain rice porridge; And around this small charcoal stove, there are all kinds of pickles and snacks, and Shen Gui, who has been hungry for a long time, really can't pull it out......

"Shen Gui, you sit, whatever you like, eat something to cushion your stomach first. This is not the Purple Gold Palace, and you don't need to be too formal. And the reason why I let Tang Fuquan keep you in the palace is also to talk to you about a private matter. ”

After hearing this, Shen Gui tilted his head and thought about it, and then, as if he had made up his mind, he looked directly at the Tianyou Emperor who was sitting opposite him with some rudeness:

"Your Majesty, do you want to inquire about the relationship between the four princes of Beiyan and the eldest princess of Youbei? Forgive Shen for being rude, in fact, for this matter, Shen can fabricate some excuses to prevaricate the past; But now in front of His Majesty, Shen is really not good at bullying the king with those lies...... Frankly speaking, the eldest princess Yan Shuqing did not want to marry the Northern Yan Dynasty. Fortunately, this matter has not been made public yet, and you and I have both ...... back."

"Regarding the matter of the two norths and relatives, in fact, I have no interest in it. After all, you bastard boy has already ruined Princess Fengyang's reputation......"

"Wait !! later"
