Lu Qinghe didn't know if he knew about these, so he just opened his mouth to lead the topic and prove his guess.

Although he had already inquired with the eunuch before, he had not heard Yan Huaiqian say it in person after all.

Yan Huaiqian was waiting for them to speak, and when he heard Lu Qinghe's question, he suddenly came to his senses, picked up the good news that was put aside and handed it to the little eunuch on the side, "Take it down and let all the ministers take a look." ”

After speaking, he looked at the ministers who were waiting below, pursed his lips and tried to restrain the smile on the corner of his mouth, and then spoke, "Don't worry about anything first, the ministers will take a look at this good news first." ”

At this time, the good news has been handed over to Lu Qinghe by the little eunuch, there is no nonsense in the good news, Lu Qinghe read it quickly, and after reading it, he looked sluggish.

"What's the matter, what's in this good news?"

"Lord Lu is okay, is there anything wrong with the good news?"

"Lord Lu?"

"The old man is fine, you adults can see for yourself."

The calls brought Lu Qinghe back to his senses, and then he glanced at the good news in his hand with a complicated face, and handed him to the next person.

Then every minister passed on the good news and read it, and then everyone fell into a stupor, as if they had made an appointment.

It wasn't until an incredible voice sounded that interrupted everyone's thoughts that they came back to their senses.

"Is this true, King Yan really occupies the seven cities of the Zhou Kingdom?"

Yes, how could this be true, it was seven cities, why hadn't we received any news before?

Even Lu Qinghe was shocked, he only knew that it was good news, they defeated the Zhou State, but he didn't expect that there were still seven cities, this is really good news.

"Ahem."

Yan Huaiqian originally wanted to wait for everyone's joy to subside a little before talking about things, but he didn't expect everyone to be immersed in joy and not come out, and couldn't help coughing lightly to remind everyone where they are now.

"Your Majesty."

Everyone replied to His Majesty, and a trace of shame flashed on their faces.

Really, they haven't seen any strong winds and waves, how can they be caught by this little scene, and after coughing embarrassedly, they all sat up straight seriously.

"Then what does Your Majesty think?"

In the end, it was Lu Qinghe who opened it first, after all, he was the head of the civil officials, and now among the people in the hall, he was the most qualified to speak.

"King Yan means to negotiate peace, to sign a peace treaty." After speaking, without waiting for everyone to prompt objections, Yan Huaiqian added, "I think so too. ”

For a while, everyone swallowed the words they were going to persuade into their mouths, and they were red and red.

"Your Majesty, this is a good time for us to attack the Zhou State, why do we want to negotiate peace? We should take advantage of the victory to pursue at this time" Gongliang Chun, as a privy envoy in charge of military affairs, is the most reluctant person to negotiate peace at this time.

After all, if a military general wants to be promoted, he still has to have military merits, and at this time, it is clear that they have the upper hand, and they can fight until the Zhou State bows down and pays tribute, and then he can ask for merit and rewards for a group of cronies, and maybe he can also have a knighthood.

"No!" As soon as this man finished speaking, someone stood up and objected, "Your Majesty, after the two years of war, the military salary has been seriously depleted, and there have been several disasters in the country, and after a large amount of disaster relief, there is no spare energy to bear the excess military salary. ”

The one who stood up to oppose it was one of the three envoys, the governor of Salt and Iron, who was in charge of the salt and iron tax of the whole country, and the military salaries for the past two years were mainly paid from this area, and at this time the opposition was the most fierce, and the others were also watching from the sidelines, obviously in favor of the armistice.

Everyone knows that the messenger in charge of money and food is fat, but because they have been fighting for the past two years, Yan Huaiqian personally stared at them, and asked the group of people in Yushitai to supervise from time to time, they can be said to be more frugal than Qingshui Yamen in the past two years, and now they finally heard that the war can be ended, and no one wants to continue.

Wen is dead, and martial arts are fighting to the death.

If the opposition of the people of the three divisions is for their own interests, then the people of the Imperial Observatory are for that little bit of fame, no matter what they are for, they all agree to the peace talks at this time, and an agreement has been reached between the eyes of each other.

Hearing the opposition, Yang Biao stood up and spoke for Gongliangchun, "Short-sighted, if you give up now for a little military salary, then the Zhou State will inevitably make a comeback in the future, on the contrary, if we can take advantage of the victory and pursue, we will not worry that the Zhou State will not bow down to our Yan State." Obviously, Yang Biao and Gong Liangchun are in the same mind.

"Who is short-sighted, and it sounds so good, why don't you take out a child for military salary."

"Raising military salaries is your obligation, and with a huge country, I don't believe that you can't get a little military salary."

As you came and went, I began to get excited, and every word began to smell of gunpowder.

The two sides quarreled over whether to fight or make peace, Yan Huaiqian didn't say a word, and when the two sides quarreled red-faced, he found that the emperor sitting on the throne had not spoken.

Suddenly, their voices were lowered until they were gone.

"How did you discuss?"

Knowing that they hadn't discussed much just now, Yan Huaiqian deliberately asked like this, and for a while, the atmosphere in the entire hall began to freeze, and no one spoke.

In the end, it was Lu Qinghe who opened his mouth and calmly analyzed the current situation.

"At present, the new emperor of the Zhou State has a friendship with King Yan, and we can also take advantage of this time to recuperate, and if the two countries can really be peaceful for a hundred years, they can try to open up trade, and it will only be better for the Yan State at that time."

"What the prime minister said is good, you have other opinions." Yan Huaiqian looked at Lu Qinghe and smiled with relief, this is where he is still willing to put up with this guy, and after finishing speaking, he looked at the others, but his faint gaze brought huge pressure.

Others didn't dare to quarrel blindly, and everyone began to argue with reason.

After intense discussions, it was finally decided to hold peace talks, but the candidates for the peace talks need to be carefully considered.

For the sake of the candidates for the peace talks, the two sides quarreled again, and at this time, the strength of the previous alliance also had a tendency to split, after all, the matter of peace talks is now a certainty, as long as the specific matters are handled.

As long as the treaty is signed well, it is a matter of fame in history, and what an official pursues is nothing more than those two things, either fame or fortune, this incident is the best opportunity to pursue fame, and naturally no one wants to let it go at this time.

After arguing for a day, he still didn't decide who to let go to the peace talks, Yan Huaiqian kept watching everyone arguing and arguing, didn't speak, and didn't know what to think again.

After two or three days of stalemate over the selection of candidates for peace talks, Yan Huaiqian finally spoke up and said his decision, but as soon as he opened his mouth, everyone's jaws were shocked.

"Your Majesty is saying that King Yan will preside over this peace talk?"

"Yes, since you can't find a suitable candidate, then let King Yan come, after all, he is familiar with things over there."

"But ......"

"That's it." Yan Huaiqian didn't give the man a chance to continue, interrupting his unspoken words.

But Lord Yan is a military general.

A sentence that everyone knows well, there is no plan to say it anymore.

This matter was settled, they quarreled for a long time, and finally all of them were fulfilled Huai Yanqing, everyone felt a little uncomfortable, but they didn't dare to say anything.

Of course, although it was decided to let Huai Yanqing be in charge of the peace talks, it did not mean that the capital would not send people over, they still needed to send some literati over to take charge of some specific matters.

Then there was another bit of bickering, several forces compromised with each other, and finally decided on the next candidate, and when everything was packed, they hurried to the border pass.

Huai Yanqing didn't know what happened in the capital, he was taking Lin Jinxiu and a few people to Qin Shuyao at this time to join them.

Qin Shuyao and Qin Zhonglan, who received the news, were waiting outside with people to greet them, followed by Cui Hao, who didn't dare to make any more trouble, and Gonggong Li, who was always incomprehensible.

Huai Yanqing's eyesight was excellent, and he saw Qin Shuyao and their waiting figures from a distance, and after saying a word to Lin Jinxiu, he waved his horsewhip and continued to run over here.

Qin Shuyao and they only felt that bursts of vibration kept coming from afar, and their feet were a little numb from the shock, and when they reached the back, Qin Shuyao and they had clearly felt the tremor of the ground, Huai Yanqing arrived.

The team that followed also stopped after the sound of powerful footsteps.

Everyone, the order is forbidden, and it is only a moment from extreme movement to extreme quiet.

Qin Shuyao took a step forward, looked up and down at Huai Yanqing and Lin Jinxiu who got off the horse, and after finding that everyone was indeed not injured, he put his mind at ease.

"Shu Yao, Second Brother Qin." Lin Jinxiu and the others greeted Qin Zhonglan and them one after another.

"Lord Wang, Miss Lin, I wish the general." Qin Zhonglan greeted them one by one, and paid special attention to Huai Yanqing's situation, after all, this was the first time they had met since Huai Yanqing's accident, "I'm relieved to see that the prince is fine." ”

"Second brother, I said it a long time ago, the prince is very good now, you are just blindly worried." Qin Shuyao couldn't help but complain on the side, and then beckoned a few people to go in and rest, "Lord Wang, let's go in first." ”

"Hmm."

Huai Yanqing answered, and led people into the camp where he had been away for almost three months, and the Hu Xiaojun and Zhu Jiajun's own lieutenants behind looked at the arrangement, and there was no need for Huai Yanqing and Zhu Hongyu to worry about it.

Qin Shuyao followed Huai Yanqing and the others to walk inside, Qin Zhonglan waved his hand and motioned for someone to take Cui Hao down, looking at the man's decadent back.

A sneer flashed in his eyes, he just wanted this person to come out to see their current victory, and he was in the fear of being punished at any time.

Thinking of Qin Shuyao's original nine deaths, Qin Zhonglan couldn't let go of these people generously, the people brought by Cui Hao basically all died on the battlefield, Cui Hao and they were ready to take them back to the capital and convict him of death in front of those people, but it didn't mean that he would let him have a better time before that.
