On the same day, after Shen Gui, who was seriously injured and unconscious, was 'kidnapped' by Liu Banxian from the Prime Minister's Mansion, the civil strife in Youbei also entered the finishing work step by step. And Yan Shuqing, the 'archery master' who just shined in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Princess Yan Shuqing of Fengyang, no longer asks about any 'mundane things' and chooses to return to the peaceful life of the past.

Where she settled, she did not choose the palace Ouchi who grew up since she was a child, nor did she choose a mansion that Yan Qinghong rewarded her; Instead, he chose to return to the Shen house in the back street of the river and lived in the library again.

When the secret envoy sent by the four princes of Northern Yan presented the secret letter stamped with the 'Baili Hand Seal' at the end, Yan Qinghong and Wan Changning Junchen remembered this eldest princess who had no news.

Anyone can see that the so-called 'peace alliance' mentioned in this letter is a deal intended to repair the relationship between the two countries on the surface, but in fact, it is clearly the initiative of Emperor Tianyou, who was entangled by the Nankang people, to make an active concession to the defeat of Youbei!

If the person in charge of the house today is the crown prince Yan Day, or even the first emperor Yan Hunt, he will not have the slightest hesitation about this 'big pie' that fell from the sky, I am afraid that he will directly send Her Royal Highness Princess Fengyang to Beiyan and her relatives with gongs and drums! Moreover, even if this matter seems to be in the eyes of later historians: only one royal princess can be used to promote such a peace, it is absolutely blameless for the Holy Monarch.

Moreover, even if there are no additional conditions for the benefit of the country and the people, if you simply send Princess Fengyang to Beiyan, there is no problem.

First of all, Princess Fengyang herself has reached the age when she should leave the cabinet, although Youbei Sanlu is now not the set of etiquette of 'parents' orders and matchmakers', but she is not a commoner after all, and marrying away from home is also the fate of the princess;

Secondly, marrying Beiyan and marrying Mobei, although they are both relatives, there is an essential difference. Because the initiative of this peace and pro is the Youbei Sanlu that has just won a big victory. If it is changed to a folk saying, the girl who married in the past under such circumstances will also have a very hard waist after entering the door; Secondly, although the Youbei Sanlu also claims to be a country, it cannot be compared with the Northern Yan Dynasty with the right roots.

Moreover, the reconciliation between Youbei and Beiyan is not without precedent. For example, Princess Heyang, that is, the eldest sister of Yan Qinghong and Yan Shuqing, is now also a concubine in the Beiyan Palace; In addition, the first emperor originally intended to let Yan Shuqing marry Mobei; Now that it can be replaced by a more prosperous and lively Fengjing City, what is there to dissatisfaction with?

Regardless of whether the letter with strong pen and vigorous font is the handwritten letter of the fourth prince Zhou Chang'an; But just by looking at the attitude of the person who is neither humble nor arrogant, and he is not surprised by changes, it can be seen that this fourth prince must not be the kind of gentleman who only knows pleasure.

Despite so many reasons and so many benefits, Yan Qinghong and Wan Changning still put off this harmless matter until today.

Because the only thing that worries them is the delicate relationship between Shen Gui and this Fengyang princess. At least at this point in time, Yan Qinghong, the Xingping Emperor who had just ascended the throne, still regarded Shen Gui as a friend of life and death who could share the country.

“…… Did you ask her for her own opinion? ”

Shen Gui, who had been silent for a long time, finally took the lead in breaking the embarrassing atmosphere. And Yan Qinghong, who is an elder brother, also replied with a look of embarrassment at this time:

"This thing...... We don't have to ask too much! I'll leave it to the two of you to handle it yourself. ”

Immediately afterwards, Wan Changning added:

"Shen Gui, although this matter is not urgent on the part of Beiyan, if it can be successfully resolved before the winter solstice, it can greatly alleviate the urgent need of our Youbei Third Road......

Shen Gui nodded, then stood up and was about to leave; Before going out, he looked at He Wendao who was walking behind the wheelchair:

"Great shaman? Aren't you going out of the palace with me? ”

He Wendao smiled and shook his head:

"No, I still have to go to Beilan Palace to protect the soul of Concubine Lan......"

Shen Gui didn't use the carriage transferred by Fang Junping, but walked out of the palace by himself.

After wandering aimlessly for a while, he suddenly felt that the scenery around him was somewhat familiar. looked up sharply and found that this was actually the back street in the river, near his house......

"How did you get back here......

Shen Gui smiled bitterly, and was just about to push the door into the house, when suddenly the corner of his eyes swept to the window on the third floor of the library building at home, and the flickering candle flame was reflected......

Shen Gui knew in his heart that this must be Yan Shuqing reading at night; But he doesn't have a good idea yet, and he doesn't know what to do with this matter of friendship; In addition, it is now past the third watch, and if I venture to go in and talk to her, I am afraid that it will be even more unclear in the eyes of those who have a heart......

In fact, what is there in this world that cannot be explained? It's just something I haven't thought through.

If you look at it according to the aesthetic standards of Huayu's mainland counterparts, Li Le'an's appearance can only be regarded as a little cute 'little jasper' at most, except for the youth, the others can only be classified as ordinary;

Moreover, because Li Le'an has been practicing medicine with Lin Siwei for many years, her 'skin condition' is slightly darker than that of ordinary ladies; Not to mention with this Fengyang princess who is like a 'ice muscle and jade bone'.

Therefore, if you compare Li Le'an and Yan Shuqing together, it seems that except for the treatment of diseases and saving people, Yan Shuqing won a big victory.

Of course, in the relationship between men and women, these so-called advantages and disadvantages are not as important as imagined.

Shen Gui still couldn't push away his house after all; Instead, he returned to the prime minister's chamber, and with the remnants of the wine that had not yet dissipated, he slept until the third pole of the sun......

As soon as Shen Gui, who had finished washing, walked out of the room, he saw Shan Qingquan, whose injuries had healed. He took over from Li Fu, the butler who had died in battle, and was lying on the bench in front of the mansion with a big grin, shaking his calves leisurely......

"Lao Dan, are all the injuries on your body so neat?"

"Don't you know our young lady's medical book? It's all good, and the slightest root of the disease has not been left behind......"

"But I listen to this voice of yours...... It's not like he doesn't have any roots......"

"I don't have time to talk to you poorly, the letter left by the prime minister ...... you"

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and flew out a letter with a white cover, and flew to Shen Gui's hand in a whirlwind.

After Shen Gui carefully read through the letter, after a little thought, he exhaled his palm and shook the letter into fragments......

"Lao Dan, send someone to the Great Wilderness City and take the Prime Minister back to Fengjing......"

"You're the one who fell to the root of the disease, right? The prime minister has only returned to his hometown for two months, and his ass has not been hot......"

"I'm going to get married with your young lady!"

At the same time, in the Zijin Palace of Beiyan and in the upper study.

"Chang'an, do you think that you can maintain the peace of the northern front of the dynasty for twenty years with just a few marriages? Moreover, I heard that you still want to reopen the trade market, and give up the world's first male pass, the East Customs, to the Yan family in Youbei? Just taking advantage of the fact that there is no need for a court meeting today, you carefully explain to your father. After all, in my father's mind, you've never been a fool who can do mixed business! ”

Emperor Zhou Yuanqing looked at the four princes who were cut first and then played, and the expression on his face was not only like a teacher asking for guilt, but also like humbly asking for advice; In a short period of time, Zhou Changan was a little uncertain, so he had to tell the truth......

"Father, in fact, the opening of the trade market and the transfer of the East Customs are two different things on the surface; In reality, it's the same thing. You think, the bulk goods between us and Nankang used to be waterways, that is, the Yanlin Grand Canal dug by Qianyan; And if we can re-establish trade with Mobei through this peace, then we can specially purchase some materials needed by Youbei, and then open up an additional offshore trade route...... According to Er's original idea, it should be from Shencheng Wharf to Weijin Wharf in Dongyouwan......"

This idea of his is actually very consistent with the secret plan of Nan Kangdi; The only difference is that Di Ting has a greater appetite and plans are more concrete.

This is like a child's play, and a few words made Emperor Tianyou's eyes light up when he heard it. However, he was not in a hurry to praise his son, but picked up a pair of exquisitely made glasses on the table, and carefully observed the map of Huayu Continent on the wall:

"Yanjing is about ...... away from Weijin about two hundred and forty miles; And if we can renew trade between the two norths...... Then, in addition to the East Customs, the location selection must not be done in another way...... In this way, it is ......"

"My father is wise, if this is the case, it means that in the future, we can not only be a comfortable 'God of Wealth', but also through negotiation and negotiation with the people of Nankang, completely control the water and drought trade routes between Nankang and Youbei... In just a few years, every piece of Su embroidery and rice paper purchased by those Youbei people will bring countless taxes and silver to our Northern Yan Dynasty. Moreover, the most immediate benefit is that it can enrich the national treasury and relieve the tense and congested river conditions of the Yanlin Grand Canal......"

Emperor Tianyou smiled, pointed to his nose, and said helplessly:

"I'm afraid you kid has other plans that you haven't said, right? In normal times, there is naturally a mutually beneficial cooperative relationship between the two norths; But once all the foreign trade routes in Youbei are under our control, once the situation changes in the future, we can beat the three roads of Youbei back to their original shape at any time......"

After Zhou Changan listened, he smiled with a little shyness:

"Father said it very ...... Silver is far more powerful than a samurai's steel sword or a warhorse's iron hooves! ”
