Chapter 474: Negotiation
"He wants to negotiate? What to talk about? After receiving the letter from Wu Qian, Li Changqing felt a little surprised, feeling that things were expected and unexpected.
He guessed that Wu Gan took refuge in Hu Yanting to deal with him, he didn't expect Wu Gan's actions to be so fast, he had been fighting with Hu Yanting for so many years, but he never thought that he would overturn it in a short period of time and completely take over his power.
What surprised him even more was that he would choose to negotiate with himself.
He once thought that Wu Qian was not a person who was greedy for power, but now what did he ask for?
"What did my father say?" Li Changqing asked, but after asking, he shook his head and smiled, "My father is unwilling to admit defeat, at this time he would rather end up with blood flow at the end than bow his head and admit defeat, my father's character is like this, but the lives of my Chen soldiers are innocent." Passed on the order of the main palace, and the main palace is willing to negotiate with him to see what he really wants! ”
Both of them are cool people, and they have decided to meet, so they quickly set the time and place.
It was the beginning of September, and the sky was high and cloudy, and it was cool.
In a pavilion outside the capital, Li Changqing and Wu Qian met.
There was a simple pot of wine on the cyan stone table, and the two met alone, without any retinue by their side. Not far away, golden chrysanthemums are in full bloom, blooming with the beauty of this season.
"You're amazing, I admire you!" Li Changqing said, "I didn't expect you to solve Hu Yanting in such a short period of time, this may also be beyond everyone's expectations, I originally planned to do something to cooperate with you, but I didn't expect to use me at all!" ”
"Did you already know what I was going to do?" Wu Qian asked lightly.
Li Changqing smiled warmly and said: "Although we haven't met for many days, I always feel that I still understand you, you are not greedy for the powerful, if you just want revenge, you will not invite me to negotiate, so I want to know, what do you want!" ”
Wu Gan's lips were tightly pursed, and he drank a glass of wine in silence and said, "I want to get back what belongs to me!" ”
"The throne you mean?" Li Changqing was slightly surprised, but there was a feeling of expectation, "This is what I'm curious about?" Why is there a sudden interest in the throne? ”
"I don't need to explain anything to you!" Wu Qian said lightly.
"Naturally, I'm just curious, just say it if you want!" Li Changqing paused as he spoke, "What if I don't want to return the throne to you?" ”
"Then, I may choose a more intense way, or maybe I will lose both!" Wu Qian put down his wine glass, looked at Li Changqing coldly and said.
"I know, if you say it, you will do it!" Li Changqing smiled faintly, "Actually, I'm thinking that maybe it's the will of heaven, this throne is destined to return to your hands, I have been fighting with Hu Yanting for so long, but he was planted in your hands, maybe you are more suitable to be an emperor than me, it may not be necessarily, Chen Guo is in your hands, maybe it will be brighter!" Believe it or not, I already had the idea of returning the throne to you before you made this request, I admire you, you will do better than me! ”
Wu Qian was silent and did not speak, Li Changqing paused and said: "But I need you to wait, this is my decision, my father may not be willing, if he chooses the way of losing both, I am helpless, but I pity the soldiers who were killed and injured during this period, so I hope you wait a little longer, my father's body is not as good as day by day, I am afraid that there will not be too long of time, and I, Li Changqing, will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation, this is my only condition, for the life of Chen Guo's soldiers, I hope you can agree!" ”
Wu Qian thought for a moment, then nodded. But after a slight pause, he said: "But compared to Hu Yanting, the person your father wants to kill is me, the secret letter that Hu Yanting received that day, about the matter of me saving you, there were not many people who knew my identity at that time, I guess this letter should be sent by your father, and you want to borrow Hu Yanting's hand to kill me!" ”
"With his temperament, he can do it!" Li Changqing smiled, "But the matter has passed, and you are unharmed, I hope you don't take this matter to heart anymore!" ”
"I'll wait a little longer, but there's a limit to my patience!" Wu Qian said.
"Got it, got it!" Li Changqing smiled, "It seems to have let go of a stone in my heart!" By the way, how is Jingyun now? Now that Hu Yanting has been removed, there shouldn't be much danger in this capital, can you let her come back, it can be regarded as the last time to see her father! ”
"I'll let her know!" Wu Qian said, "Besides, Jingyun is fine, don't worry!" ”
"Thank you!" Li Changqing got up, "Since the purpose of our meeting is this matter, since this matter has been concluded, I will go back first!" But can you answer this question in my mind? ”
He looked at Wu Gan and didn't speak, smiled and said, "If you don't say it, I can probably guess that it's for your junior sister, right?" He didn't wait for Wu Gan to answer, and shook his head with a smile and left.
On the way back, his subordinates asked worriedly: "Prince, this matter is very important, don't you really need to talk to Your Majesty?" ”
"No need!" Li Changqing shook his head gently, "My father's body is already exhausted, and there are really not many days left, why worry about my father during this period, besides, hiding it is also for the sake of the lives of the soldiers on both sides, no matter who it is, they are all the sons and daughters of Chen Guo!" ”
"The prince has the world in his heart, and he is willing to sacrifice for the people of Chen State, and his subordinates admire him to the fullest!"
"Sacrifice?" Li Changqing raised his eyebrows, the meaning in his eyes was unclear, "It's hard to say whether it's a sacrifice or not!" Who died after all? It's a question worth pondering! ”
He looked at the blue sky, a few geese flew by, and said lightly: "Some things that others want to get, not everyone may care!" ”
After Wu Qian went back, he thought about it for a long time, and then he began to write a letter and send it back to the mountain medicine house.
Three days later, Jiang Xiaoyu in the mountains received a letter from Wu Qian, but their moods were different.
Jiang Xiaoyu and Liu Ruli were naturally happy for Wu Qian, not only was he safe and sound, but he also did what he wanted to do, such abilities and strategies had never been revealed to him before.
And Princess Jingyun paid more attention to Emperor Chen's life, no matter what others said about him, for her, he was indeed a good father, and he loved himself and the prince's brother very much.
"I want to go back and see my father one last time!" Jing Yun wiped away tears and said, "Although I always knew that my father's health was not good, I didn't expect it to be so serious, I am really unfilial, my father is seriously ill, but I can't serve by his side!" ”
"Don't think about it, since Senior Brother said that there is no danger in Jingzhong now, let's rush to the capital now!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "Pack up your things now, we'll leave tomorrow morning!" ”
"But your body?" Jing Yun asked with some unease.
"My body is fine, but I'm more worried about you than me!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "Go and clean up!" ”
"Okay, I'll clean up now!"
Jingyun left, Jiang Xiaoyu's face sank, because she knew that the purpose of her senior brother's visit to Chen Country was not only to eradicate Hu Yanting, but also to regain the throne, but what was he going to do next? Does he want to reproduce the events of the past, retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, and force the palace to let Emperor Chen abdicate?
"Master, do you want to go with you?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked.
"You two go, I can't rest assured, naturally I want to go with you!" Liu Ruli said, with a rare coldness in his eyes, "It's also good to revisit the old place and get back to the feeling of the past!" ”
Early the next morning, the three of them set off from the medicine house and rushed to the imperial capital of Chen State, because Jingyun was pregnant, so the speed was not too fast, and then arrived at the imperial capital on the fourth day, Jiang Xiaoyu and Liu Ruli went to find Wu Qian to get together, Jingyun and Wu Qian were sent to the palace after a short reunion.
"Dead girl, you're finally back safely!" Li Changqing saw her sister who she hadn't seen for a long time, her eyes were red, and when she saw her slightly bulging belly again, she was even more emotional, and hugged her sister in her arms, "It's good that the girl is back, it's good to be safe!" In the most dangerous thing for you, my brother can't be by your side, it's my brother who can't stand you! ”
"Brother Prince, don't say that, I know your situation here is not much better than mine!" Jingyun comforted.
"My silly girl, the baby who grew up in her arms, why did she suffer so much when she grew up!" Li Changqing sighed and said, "Don't be afraid in the future, my brother will always be by your side, and he will not let you be in any danger again, and he will not let you be scared again!" ”
"I know, Jingyun knows!" Jing Yun smiled slightly, "By the way, how is my father's condition now?" ”
"Father's body...... Not very good now! Li Changqing let go of Jingyun, "You have to be mentally prepared and comfort your father, as for Li Chengqian's matter, it's best not to mention it!" ”
"Good!" Jing Yun nodded, "I will take good care of my father!" ”
Thinking of losing her husband and about to lose her father, Jingyun didn't feel sadness and gave birth to a sense of sadness.
"I've seen the princess!"
Hearing the voice of the eunuch outside, Emperor Chen hurriedly got up, trotted out, and when he saw his most beloved daughter, his spirit was much better, and he hurriedly said: "My little princess, you have finally returned to my side again!" ”
"Father!" Jingyun also shed tears, "Jingyun is back, Jingyun will never leave you again!" ”
The father and daughter talked about the old times together for a long time, carefully avoiding some sad topics, and Emperor Chen also felt the warmth that he hadn't seen for a long time, "I really didn't expect it, my little princess is now grown up and is going to be a mother!" I'm going to be my grandfather! ”
