It's not easy to be an emperor, not to mention every opportunity, but also to think about the harem. Although Liu Yong is still very relieved of Lin Qingrou and others. But the other concubines are not difficult to rest assured. He didn't know them, he just had a skin-to-skin relationship with them. As for their exit from the palace, it remains to be seen, and if there is any accident, they will be stopped immediately.

He told Lin Qingrou his thoughts, and he still had to count on Lin Qingrou for this harem matter, because she was the master of the harem. And Lin Qingrou is also willing to take on these responsibilities, she thinks that this is to share the emperor's worries.

Liu Yong, Lin Qingrou, Ouyang Lanlan and others ate wine for an afternoon, and then dispersed when they arrived at the East Mountain. He also felt playful and refreshed. Take a bath and fall asleep.

The next day, Chen An brought the reformulated plan to Liu Yong, Liu Yong read it and said, "Okay, let's do it according to this plan!" ”

After receiving the emperor's satisfaction, Chen An was also very happy, and immediately bid farewell to Liu Yong and went down to arrange negotiations with the Dayue Cui clan.

The first line conveyed the opinion of the Huahan Emperor that the land of Liyue should be incorporated into the Huahan Dynasty to the Dayue Cui clan. Liu Yong personally wrote an edict to the emperor of Liyue. The content is also very simple, and the general meaning is that I want to incorporate the land of Liyue into the land of the Huahan Dynasty. Please act at your discretion.

Then there was a handwritten letter from Chen An, and all the edicts of Liu Yong came to the hands of the Emperor of Liyue. Chen An's handwritten letter was to negotiate with Cui's.

Emperor Liyue's name is Cui Zhengchun, forty-two years old this year, with three strands of long hair, fair skin, and a bookish fragrance. He was astonished when he received these two letters. Although he already knew that the Western Land had been incorporated into their territory by the Hua Han Dynasty, the situation in the Western Land was different from that of the Liyue Kingdom.

The Westlands is a borderland, a land of turmoil. On the contrary, his Liyue Kingdom has always been ruled by their Cui clan. This is his kingdom, how can it be given up to others?

Absolutely not. This was my first thought after receiving the edict of the Emperor Huahan and the handwritten letter of the Prime Minister of Huahan. But the departure only stopped for a few seconds and then disappeared. Because he really doesn't have the confidence to realize his words.

There was no way, he could only come to the royal family in a hurry to study the matter.

Five brothers, three sons, and four nephews came. This is his dearest person. It is also the person who can best represent the interests of the Daiyue Cui clan.

When these people came, they saw the edict of Emperor Huahan and the handwritten letter of Prime Minister Huahan, and the degree of surprise was almost exactly the same as Cui Zhengchun.

"How can this be? So what about our Cui family? Cui Zhengchun's eldest brother slapped the table and said angrily.

Cui Zhengchun was able to calm down, and only heard him say: "Big brother, don't be impatient, aren't we studying countermeasures together?" ”

Cui Zhengchun's eldest brother said: "What else are you studying? A direct reply to the veto is. This land of Liyue is the ancestral land of our Cui family, and it must not be given to others. Absolutely not. ”

"But big brother, what if Hua Han uses troops against our Cui clan and forces us to step down?" Cui Zhengchun looked at his eldest brother and asked.

His eldest brother said, "Come on, I don't think our people will agree." ”

Cui Zhengchun said: "Big brother, you must know that our Liyue people and Han people are of the same origin." Our people have a high sense of identity with the Han people. To be a citizen of the Huahan Dynasty, our people may not be unwilling! ”

Cui Zhengchun, who said it in a word, his eldest brother was speechless.

At this time, Cui Zhengchun's third brother spoke, only to hear him say: "Your Majesty, although our Cui clan has ruled this land for hundreds of years. However, it is undeniable that we do have a strong relationship with the Han Chinese. We are of the same lineage. To be honest, it is not impossible to merge into Huahan.

Just twenty years ago, when we were threatened by the Tartars, my father intended to merge Liyue into the original Dahua Dynasty, but the Dahua Dynasty at that time was unwilling to accept us. At that time, the emperor's intention was to merge the land of Liyue into the Dahua Dynasty, and then the Cui family continued to govern the land of Liyue. Even if it is a prince. Here, our Cui clan can still form our own army, but this army will be subject to the control of the Dahua Dynasty. ”

Cui Zhengchun nodded after hearing this and said: "What the third brother said is very true, the eldest brother, the fourth brother and the fifth brother also know about this situation. At that time, although the eldest brother was opposed, the threat of the Tarslavs was imminent. At that time, my father also wanted to ask the Dahua Dynasty to help us fight against the Tatars. It just didn't work out. ”

Cui Zhengchun's eldest brother said: "Hmph, at that time, the Dahua Dynasty was afraid of the Tartar slaves, and they couldn't wait to throw us as far away as possible." And help us, fart. ”

The third child said: "Big brother, but now the Hua Han Dynasty has helped us drive away the Tartar slaves!" In this way, people are still kind to us. ”

The eldest brother glanced at the third brother and said, "So the third brother agreed to give Li Yue to the Hua Han Dynasty?" ”

The third child said: "Big brother, if you don't give it to the Hua Han Dynasty, do we have any other countermeasures?" Like you said and the Hua Han Dynasty, big brother thinks we can survive for a few days? ”

The eldest brother was dumbfounded by the third child, according to the comparison of the strength of the two sides. It's going to be a one-sided war of eggs against stones. The egg is their Liyue country, and the stone is the Huahan Dynasty.

If this battle is to be fought, they will definitely die. Cui Zhengchun's eldest brother naturally knows the truth of this. He stopped talking, just sulking from the sidelines.

At this time, the atmosphere in the hall was a little depressing, and those juniors did not dare to interject, so they could only listen to it from the sidelines.

Cui Zhengchun's eldest brother broke the silence again and said: "Then we will give the land of Liyue to the Huahan Dynasty, then what should we do with the Cui family?" How will my people survive in the future? ”

Cui Zhengchun said: "Big brother, the prime minister of the Hua Han Dynasty said that he was looking for us to negotiate." It seems that they are not bullying with guns yet. still gave us enough face for Cui's family. ”

Cui Zhengchun's eldest brother said: "Negotiation? We can't beat others, so what can we do to negotiate with them? Isn't this the same as fighting a war, where an egg hits a stone? ”

In fact, what Cui Zhengchun's eldest brother said is not unreasonable, because negotiation requires weight. It also relies on strength as much as fighting a war.

Without strength, you will be at a disadvantage at the negotiating table.

Cui Zhengchun's eldest brother continued: "Then the Hua Han Dynasty said that it was looking for us to negotiate, and it was not that it didn't want to use force with us. It's called surrendering without a fight. Let's give in without fighting. I think it's even more humiliating. ”

At this time, the third child said: "Big brother, you can't say that." ”

"What do you say?" The eldest brother asked.
