Chapter 32: Beifeng's Envoy

Jiang Lige raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in his heart: This princess is really not simple.

The prince was also a little frightened: Beifeng sent her, what did she want?

In the middle of his thoughts, the leading official and the princess made a national salute to the prince and said: "Beifeng Nangong Yi (Beifeng) Feng Chaoyang has seen His Royal Highness the Prince of Nanchu." The others followed suit.

The prince smiled gently, returned a state salute, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be the prime minister of Nangong and the eldest princess of Chaoyang, and the representative of Nanchu in this palace welcomes your arrival to cultivate the good of the two countries."

Jiang Lige raised his eyebrows, she was actually the eldest princess of Chaoyang, although it was rumored that although this woman was a daughter, she was extremely smart, the old emperor of Beifeng once said: If Chaoyang is a man, I Beifeng can go further. And although Nangong Yi is in the position of prime minister, he is in this position in the year of his establishment, and now he is only in his forties, and he is extremely talented.

Although the prince was smiling, he also had the same worries.

Prime Minister Nangong said politely: "It is an honor for this official to be greeted by His Royal Highness the Prince."

The prince said gently: "The capital post station has been arranged, please get into the carriage, go with me to rest first, and arrange a palace banquet for you to wash the dust on a certain day."

Nangong Yi saluted and said, "Then trouble His Royal Highness the Prince."

A group of people marched into the city.

The matter came to an end.

In the evening, in the imperial study of the palace.

Emperor Jianwen's majestic voice sounded in Nuoda's study: "Shuo'er, how is the situation?"

Chu Tianshuo said respectfully: "Erchen has arranged for the prime minister of Beifeng Nangong and the eldest princess of Chaoyang to stay at the post station."

Emperor Jianwen said again: "What do you think of the eldest princess of Chaoyang?" Emperor Jianwen had the intention to exercise the crown prince.

Chu Tianshuo was not ambiguous, and said directly: "I heard that the previous emperor of Beifeng once said: If Chaoyang is a man, Beifeng can go further, this woman can be so praised, and she can protect herself under such a reputation, which shows that she is also extremely smart." This time I came to Nanchu, probably to find a husband who can compete with the little emperor of Beifeng, after all, the little emperor of Beifeng is extremely suspicious and brutal, so that not only can she solve her predicament, but also get help, and most importantly, he has also gained a good reputation for the country and the people. ”

A trace of satisfaction flashed in Emperor Jianwen's eyes, and he praised: "You are becoming more and more assertive, and you really deserve to be my son."

Chu Tianshuo was happy in his heart for the praise from his father, but he didn't show half a point on his face, and said respectfully: "It's all taught by my father."

Emperor Jianwen was extremely happy to see that he was now more and more like a prince. He asked again: "Then do you say that the Beifeng envoy's desire for peace is sincere?"

Chu Tianshuo thought for a while, and then said: "As far as the gifts they brought this time are extremely heavy, it seems that they have the intention to seek peace, but the ministers are puzzled, and the little emperor of Beifeng is not a person who has the intention to seek peace, even if an agreement is reached this time, I am afraid that it will not be long before they raise troops to Southern Chu, why do they still bring such a heavy gift?"

Emperor Jianwen looked at his son who humbly asked for advice in front of him, a little complacent, and said directly: "Just look at Princess Chaoyang."

Chu Tianshuo suddenly realized and said calmly: "I see, it's still my father's old plan, and my sons still have to learn a lot from my father."

Emperor Jianwen laughed and said meaningfully: "You still have a long way to go, and you will slowly become like your father in the future."

Chu Tianshuo: "Yes, Erchen understands."

Post.

The eldest princess of Chaoyang leaned lazily on the chaise longue and said lightly: "What does Nangong Cheng think about what Nan Chu is doing today?"

Nangong Yi was at the bottom, his tone was flat, and he said: "Since the Emperor of Southern Chu sent the crown prince, it shows that he also wants to promote this matter. As a victorious country, it is natural to put on a show for a while. ”

The eldest princess of Chaoyang smiled lowly, extremely lazy, and asked, "What does the prime minister think of General Lige?"

Nangong Yi said disdainfully: "It's just a little girl, what kind of climate can it become?"

The eldest princess of Chaoyang seemed to say unintentionally: "This palace thinks she is very good, at least she lives like a person, doesn't she?"

Nangong Yi said politely: "She's just a little general, how can she compare to the princess Jin Zhi Yuye?"

The eldest princess of Chaoyang sneered: "Where is the golden branch and jade leaf in this palace, it is just a little bird in the golden wire cage, and this time it is our emperor and His Majesty feels that this palace is in the way."

Nangong Yi asked lightly: "The princess is also extremely willing, isn't she?"

The eldest princess of Chaoyang sneered: "The prime minister is really clear-minded, which makes the palace admire."

Nangong Yi said respectfully: "The minister can't afford the admiration of the princess, the princess has tormented the minister."

The eldest princess of Chaoyang continued: "Does the prime minister think that the prince of Nanchu is really the best candidate for harmony?"

Nangong Yi has been in the officialdom for many years, and naturally knows how to accompany the monarch like a tiger, although the eldest princess of Chaoyang is not a monarch, she is much more powerful than the monarch, so she avoids the important and said lightly: "Your Majesty hopes so."

The eldest princess of Chaoyang said lazily: "The palace only promised to make peace, but did not agree to make peace with the prince of Nanchu."

Nangong Yi thought about it slightly, and quickly understood what was powerful, and said respectfully: "The princess is in charge."

The eldest princess of Chaoyang said again: "This palace hopes that the prime minister will remember the promise to his father."

Nangong Yi said respectfully: "The minister naturally obeys the will of the emperor."

The eldest princess of Chaoyang said with satisfaction: "Just remember, the prime minister should go and rest." He muttered to himself: "This Southern Chu Capital is going to be lively."

Seeing this, Nangong Yi retired silently.

After Nangong Yi left, the voice of the eldest princess of Chaoyang was empty and reminiscing: "Father, you let your sons learn politics from an early age, but you pushed your sons into a dilemma, I don't know if you have any regrets in the spirit of heaven?" Now, it's a lot of fun. ”

The next day, Nangong Yi handed over the excerpt of the visit, but it was deduced that the envoy of Beifeng came from afar, and he must be tired, so it was better to rest for a few days to understand the customs and customs of Nanchu. An accompanying official immediately got up, patted the case, and said to Nangong Yi: "Prime Minister, this Nanchu is too rampant, this must not be tolerated."

Nangong Yi said calmly: "What's so strange about this? Nan Chu is difficult, didn't he already know it? Why should you be angry? ”

The official was still dissatisfied: "Aren't they afraid of war......

Nangong Yi interrupted him and said, "Don't forget what you're here for."

The official only felt that his face was red, and he confessed: "The lower official knows his mistake."

Nangong Yi said flatly: "Always remember your identity, don't let people see our Nanchu jokes."

Another official said, "Are we going to endure this?"

Nangong Yi smiled: "How come? Since the Emperor of Southern Chu let us rest, then let's rest, and when the time comes, he will issue an edict to let us go, and wait patiently. ”

Only then did the envoys have a bottom in their hearts, and a few of them discussed other matters.

The eldest princess of Chaoyang sat lazily at the table, leaning lightly on the table, as if thinking about something.

At this time, the maid walked in with brisk steps, and said, "I have seen the princess, and the slave and maid have something to tell you."

The eldest princess of Chaoyang said lightly: "Say, what's the matter?"

Qingshang said respectfully: "General Nanchu Lige is asking to see him outside, and the princess wants to see him."

The eldest princess of Chaoyang seemed to find a little fun and said, "Please come in with General Lige, you will see you sooner or later."

Qingshang answered yes, and retreated, and after a while, he led Jiang Lige in.

Jiang Lige was already dressed in a black robe, his hair was simply tied up, and he hugged his fists and saluted: "Jiang Lige has seen the eldest princess of Chaoyang."

The eldest princess of Chaoyang slowly stood up, dressed in red, and returned the salute slightly. After the two sat down, the eldest princess of Chaoyang spoke: "I don't know what General Lige is doing here?"

Jiang Lige smiled lightly: "It's nothing, it's just that it's a good day today, it's better for the princess to go out with General Ben to have a look, the scenery of our Southern Chu is very different from that of Northern Feng." She was very curious about this eldest princess of Chaoyang, this is a strange woman.

The eldest princess of Chaoyang also knew that it was not easy to refuse, so she said politely: "Then there is General Lao Lige."

Jiang Lige suggested: "The Mingyue Lake in our Southern Chu Capital is extremely beautiful, you might as well go there today to have a look."

The eldest princess of Chaoyang smiled lightly: "This palace has heard of Mingyue Lake, the world is humane and the moon is reflected in Mingyue Lake in Nanchu, I don't know that the lake is bright and the moon is bright, and it is also extremely beautiful to think about it, and it is not in vain to go and see it."

The two took a few entourages and rode to Mingyue Lake in a carriage. In the carriage, the eldest princess of Chaoyang smiled lightly: "General Lige is bold, and he didn't even bring an entourage when he went out." That's right, the people who accompanied him were all the people of the eldest princess of Chaoyang.

Jiang Lige said conceitedly: "General Ben doesn't dare to say anything else, this ordinary assassin is still fearless?"

The eldest princess of Chaoyang said lazily: "It seems that the rumors in the world are indeed true, and General Lige really does not let her eyebrows."

Jiang Lige smiled: "Each other."

The eldest princess of Chaoyang opened the curtains, looked at the passing streets, felt that it was very prosperous and lively, there was a smile in her eyes, and sighed: "The people here are living very comfortably."

Jiang Lige didn't say anything.

After a while, I arrived at Mingyue Lake, where Miss Gongzi liked to go most in the capital, got off the carriage, and saw the willows slightly blowing, the water surface was sparkling, and I could see the waterfront people on the other side of the shore from a distance. Both of them couldn't help but feel much lighter.

The two of them stood at the water's edge, and at this time, the pedestrians who enjoyed the scenery passed by in twos and threes, and they couldn't help but sigh that these two people had extraordinary temperaments, but they also knew that the two of them were not easy to mess with, so they could only peek from afar.

Jiang Lige took a deep breath and sighed, "It's so comfortable to have such a quiet day!"

The eldest princess of Chaoyang said lightly: "It's just that the tree wants to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop."

Jiang Lige said casually: "It's also great to have a moment of leisure."

The eldest princess of Chaoyang chuckled lowly and quipped: "I don't know that General Lige is so small as he wants, and he really doesn't look like a female general galloping across the field."

Jiang Lige replied: "The princess is not like a princess confined to the deep palace."

The eldest princess of Chaoyang said: "Yes, we are not like it, this palace would rather this palace is just a princess of the deep palace, and it doesn't hurt to be ordinary and ordinary all your life."

Jiang Lige was puzzled: "Why is this? Where can the princess in the deep palace control her own destiny, it is better to live as enthusiastically as a princess. ”
