Zhao Qi's authority is flourishing, and he is becoming more and more like an emperor. In addition to the talent of power and scheming brought by this kid from his mother's womb, coupled with the old emperor's painstaking years of secret cultivation, from provoking a death battle with the Turks and winning a big victory, to now Yang Zhi's frequent successes in commanding the army, Zhao Qi has added a lot of points.

Since Jin Zishan touched his nose last year, even if the emperor took the initiative to ask, he never commented on the important affairs of the military state. As the emperor matured, the imprint of the iron law of "no interference in politics in the inner palace" became clearer and clearer.

As a eunuch in the palace, it is the dragon who has to learn to coil, and the tiger who has to learn to lie down. People who understand this truth usually live longer. If you have nothing to do with it too many times, it is equivalent to looking for death.

The first emperor's personal servant Ma Cheng, Jin Zishan was originally not very affordable in his heart. Looking back, this old-timer never missed a word or done a thing in front of the first emperor in his life, and he died peacefully. Who would dare to say that this is not his old horse's ability?

When the emperor summoned important ministers in the imperial study, he did not like to be disturbed. The 800-mile expedited military report is an exception, as long as the generals at the front do not have water in their heads, no one will be fed up, and everything will be expedited for 600 or 800 miles.

Jin Zishan interrupted Wang Yunong, who was speaking smoothly, and presented the military report to the imperial case: "Your Majesty, this is an 800-mile urgent military report sent by Yang Hou just now. ”

Zhao Qi frowned and picked it up, and his face suddenly relaxed: "I thought something big happened to Yang Zhi!" Put aside the two pieces for the time being, you might as well discuss this military report first: Nan Chu sent people to contact Yang Zhi and begged the two countries to strike the war and negotiate peace. Ladies and gentlemen, do you think I agree or not? ”

Ning Wang Zhao Dang and Kang Wang Zhao dared to sympathize with each other because of the same illness. has huddled together to keep warm, standing on the same front. Over the years, we have always adhered to the tenet of "we must oppose everything that the enemy supports." Unyielding and futile struggle.

Both kings had led heavy troops to defend one side and had never suffered a major defeat. Originally, he still had some say in the war between the Turks and Southern Chu. Unexpectedly, Yang Zhi fought a few battles, and the two of them gradually lost much sound.

If it was like the first emperor and the Fuwang brothers, they would be a carefree prince who ate and waited for death from the beginning, but it would be fine. But how can they be willing to watch themselves being gradually marginalized and moving away from the core power center day by day?

Zhao Dang, the king of Ning, caught the rare words and said: "Your Majesty, our army has achieved fruitful results, all because of the soldiers' hard work. Now that the advantage is in my Great Xia, why do you need to negotiate peace with Southern Chu? In the opinion of this king. The emperor can't agree! ”

King Kang Zhao Dare followed and said: "Your Majesty, Brother Wang's opinion, this king seconded the proposal. ”

In Zhao Qi's mind, he has long regarded these two baby brothers as goods for others to see. No one won't let you speak, anyway, it doesn't matter if you say it or not, it's useless to say it.

He smiled and asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Wang Yunong has basically finished settling the matter of appointing officials to take over governance. took the emperor's words and said: "Your Majesty, this military report is just in line with the second thing that the old minister wants to say. ”

"Yang Hou has always seen far-reaching things, and it is very appropriate to compare Nan Chu as a behemoth that cannot be swallowed in one bite. Something swallowed. Not only can it not be spit out, but it must also be able to restrain and use. The army needs to rest, and the Great Xia needs to take a break. At the same time that Yang Hou presented two pieces of music. It is also for this reason that all the units of the army under his command have been ordered to rest and stand by in place. ”

"Nanchu sent people to beg for peace. is either for a moment of peace, or for a delay to buy time. The old minister thought. No matter what the purpose of Nan Chu begging for peace, you might as well take advantage of the situation to agree. ”

Zhao Qi nodded, and asked again, "Wen Han, what do you say?" ”

Xu Wenhan responded: "Your Majesty, the words of the king, the ministers also agree. Weichen also has a suggestion, why didn't the emperor issue a clear decree to hand over the peace between the two countries to Yang Zhi? Other than that, it's business as usual, and there is no such thing. ”

Chen Wenyuan couldn't help but smile and said: "Your Majesty, the scene where Marquis Yang negotiated peace with the Turks back then, the old minister once witnessed it with his own eyes. Yang Hou is a good hand at fighting, and negotiating peace is even more unambiguous! ”

Zhao Qi slapped his hands and smiled: "Wonderful! They talk about theirs, and we do what we have to do. Then do as Wen Han said! ”

The so-called peace, of course Yang Zhi understands what is going on. It's like two people fighting, one of them has the intention of fighting to the death, but he gets tired and can't fight halfway through, and the other person is also scared and takes the initiative to say that he doesn't want to fight.

If you hit a child on a rainy day, you are idle and idle, so let's negotiate peace! The first person to say that he will not fight usually has to pay the price. In other words, in addition to relieving boredom, you can also make a fortune.

Yang Zhi could affirm with his eyes closed that for the emperor, it was also a good thing for someone to send a pillow as soon as he was sleepy, and it was strange if he didn't agree. But this Daxia is his old Zhao family after all, so he has to say hello. There is no need for a foreign commander to negotiate peace with the enemy country without authorization, to conspire in rebellion, and to fall into this kind of pit with no technical content in a foolish manner. As a result, the 800-mile expedited military report was released.

It is worth mentioning that the person sent by Nanchu to express the sincerity of peace was actually an unexpected non-governmental person.

According to Yang Zhi's estimate, the matter stated in the two recitals submitted to the emperor will be preliminarily resolved, not to mention until the end of the year. On this day, I was wondering if I should take this opportunity to go home and take a look at my father, wife and children.

Long Yu, the lieutenant of the Chinese military colonel, came to salute and said: "Marshal, there is a merchant from Southern Chu who is asking to see him outside the gate. There were twenty-two people in the group, three of whom were dressed as servants, and eighteen strong men with sabers were supposed to be accompanying guards. The leader is a handsome young descendant, who claims to be surnamed Qin, and is a son of the handsome family of world friends. ”

Since Long Yu received Ah Fu, the chief domestic servant of the Yang Mansion, in a special way, his violent temper has been restrained a lot. Although his family is rich, it is all real swords and guns that fight the battlefield. According to Long Yu's statement, just "casually" taught Brother A Fu a few times, and he lost 1,000 taels of silver, which still makes him feel painful.

A thousand taels of silver bought a lesson. The loser can't be such a defeat: as long as he comes to see the handsome, he is definitely not easy to beat. No way. It's too expensive to beat!

"The son of a family friend surnamed Qin?" Yang Zhi subconsciously muttered. Tengdi got up and said, "Hurry up and invite him in!" ”

In less than a cup of tea, a young man with a smile and a chubby little guy entered the handsome tent.

The young man calmly bowed to Yang Zhi and bowed: "Villain Qin Ruju, meet the handsome!" The villain has admired the handsome name for a long time, and it is a great honor to finally see his face today! ”

The young man who claimed to be named Qin Ruju was dressed in a royal blue silk shirt and held a folding fan, and his eyebrows were indeed handsome. Personable.

Yang Zhi took his hand affectionately, led him to the guest chair in the lobby of the handsome tent and sat down, looked at him again, and sighed: "The three sons of the Qin family are indeed all dragons and phoenixes among people!" I have been friends with Ling Zun and your two brothers for many years, and today is the first time I have seen you. ”

Then he returned to the Lord's seat, and although he was still smiling, he said no more.

Qin Kongyun and Qin Jiaoyang kept this third brother very secretive, in Yang Zhi's memory. It seems that it was never brought up. The old fox of Qin Gong was also a god to his youngest son, and he didn't even tell him what his name was or where it was.

Joke! Even if you buy something on the street, you have to check the goods a priori! You say yes, yes?

Qin Ruju smiled suddenly, and took out an object from his sleeve and presented it to the handsome case: "The villain came in a hurry. I only brought this small object for the handsome to play with. The villain feels ashamed and has no place, and hopes that the handsome man will forgive him. My father's favorite somen soup is a noodle soup. The villain will do it too. If the handsome man has leisure and does not dislike it, the villain can also be invited to taste. ”

Yang Zhi recognized the small object presented by Qin Ruju at a glance. On the surface, it seems to be a Qin's jade emblem with exquisite workmanship, but it is actually a secret seal. With this seal. All Qin's semicolon coins and hands can be called at any time. In addition, he mentioned the clear soup and somen noodles that Yang Zhi ate when he left with Gong Qin, and his identity should be confirmed.

Handed the secret seal back to Qin Ruju and said: "There is a way that a gentleman does not take the favor of others, this object is too valuable, I'm afraid I can't afford it." The third prince doesn't have to be too polite, even if you don't feel tired when you talk like this, I feel awkward to listen to. Let's be brothers! ”

Qin Ruju presented the secret seal, originally to verify his identity, obviously he didn't really plan to give it to Yang Zhi, so he put it away as he said. changed his tone and said: "Yang Shuai, don't hide it, the little brother is here to be entrusted by others." ”

Whether it is the children of the world, or the first time they meet, Yang Zhi doesn't like this kind of speech similar to praise. Frowning and asking, "Who?" So what's going on? ”

Qin Ruju saw that Yang Zhi's face was unhappy, and replied bluntly: "The junior brother was entrusted by Tan Chongyuan, the minister of Southern Chu, to inquire about the war and peace between the two countries. ”

"Strike the war and negotiate peace? …… What a good thing! Yang Zhi thought for a moment and asked: "It's a big matter, and it's not for me to call the shots." Besides, there is no basis for his words, why did Tan Chongyuan find you? ”

Qin Ruju explained: "Tan Xiang also knows that Yang Shuai is difficult to call the shots, doesn't this let the little brother come to find out first?" Boycotting war and negotiating peace is just a nice way to put it, but in fact it is begging for peace, and it is only one step away from surrendering. Of course, it is a good thing for Great Xia, but it is not very glorious for Nan Chu, how can it be openly publicized? It is not known whether Daxia will agree, if it is rejected, it will be shot in two, how can it leave the credentials? ”

"The Qin family is known as the richest man in Great Xia, and everyone in the world knows it. Nanchu's detective office is not an ornament, not to mention the background of the Qin family, it is not difficult to inquire, what is the relationship between Yang Shuai and the Qin family, and it is not a secret. Find the younger brother to explore the way, if there is a chance to succeed, you can send officials to discuss the details in detail. If you can't do anything, it has nothing to do with the official. ”

Yang Zhi further asked, "What are the conditions of Nanchu?" ”

Qin Ruju smiled bitterly: "A strike is the minimum. As for the other conditions, how did Tan Xiang know what Daxia wanted? It should be proposed by Great Xia first, and then Southern Chu can consider whether it can be accepted. ”

According to Yang Zhi's understanding of Zhang Bohu, Xia Jun's current situation cannot be hidden from him. Emperor Chu and Tan Chongyuan may sincerely ask for peace, while Zhang Bohu and Wen Huanzhang are nine times out of ten a delaying strategy. But so what? Anyway, I can't move.

He was no longer entangled, and said with a smile: "I will report this matter to the emperor immediately, and you go back to Tan Chongyuan first to report the meeting with me today." Merely...... That fat guy you brought must stay! His dad told me to call him back to dinner! ”

Qin Ruju and the little guy who brought him into the tent were stunned when they heard this, and before they had time to react, Yang Zhi smiled and said: "Your Qin family's father and son are only honest and honest in the sun, and the others are all the way!" Qin San Fatty, is it fun to sing such a play in front of me? (To be continued.) )
