"Your Majesty, the eldest prince and the second prince are now holding their own opinions, but both sides are reasonable. It's not too late for us to send a team of people to probe each other's tone before making a decision. Seeing that the two parties were arguing for a while at this time, Jiang Fengmao stood up and said loudly.

"Breathe? Does the Protector want Qing Qi to bow his head to Nanyue and reconcile? Now that the fourth brother is still in their hands, there is no need to explore at this time to know what they want. Zhao Yu stood aside and retorted in a cold voice, and his eyes were also full of ice, which made people feel daunted.

Jiang Fengmao was choked by Zhao Yuhuai like this, his eyebrows couldn't help frowning slightly, his eyes flashed slightly, and he measured the situation in the court now.

Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, Bai Bin, the secretary of the military department standing behind, stood up, looked at Zhao Yuhuai with a tiger-like gaze and a stern tone, and said, "Then according to the eldest prince, are you planning to fight hard?" At that time, if Nanyue moves the four princes to the central side of the two armies, will you let our soldiers step forward and charge into battle or stand in place and stand still?

Moreover, the fourth prince is one of the commanders of this battle, and now being captured like this must be harmful to the morale of the army, if it is not appeased, I am afraid that if the enemy does not make a move, our army itself will be torn apart. ”

At this time, Zhao Duqi above turned his gaze from the three of them to Bai Bin's face, and then said: "Then according to Bai Shangshu's meaning, is it the main battle or the main peace?" Now that I've been arguing for half a day, you can't even say a specific plan, what's the use of the court raising you? ”

The voice quickly turned cold, and Zhao Duqi's face was full of frost at this time, and his cold eyes were as cold as arrows, faintly flashing with irrepressible anger.

The appearance of being angry made the hundred officials immediately stop the dispute, and one by one they all returned to the appearance of not saying a word, bowing their heads and not speaking again.

"Your Majesty, the urgent document for eight hundred miles just came." At this moment, the chief eunuch who had just gone out while everyone was arguing walked up to Zhao Duqi and whispered in his ear.

"Pass it on." When Zhao Duqi heard this, his face became more and more ugly, and although the hearts of the hundred officials did not know the specific situation, they were all a little stunned, I don't know what happened at this time? Everyone only felt that today's night was too difficult, and they couldn't be sure if they had a life to enter or not to come out.

"Passing on the ......" After getting Zhao Duqi's approval, the chief eunuch immediately straightened up and pinched his throat and shouted loudly outside the hall.

"Knock on the emperor." As soon as the voice sounded, I saw a dusty figure quickly rushing into the main hall, and a soldier in a gray herald dress immediately knelt down on his knees in front of Zhao Duqi.

"Get up and speak." Zhao Duqi saw the herald running all the way, and after kneeling down, he was still a little gasped, his gloomy face softened slightly, and his tone became calmer, so he got up first and then replied.

"Yes." Hearing this, the herald stood up, although his movements were straightforward, but he was less calculating and cunning than the hundred officials above the main hall.

I saw him quickly take off the bamboo tube from his back, raise his hands above the top, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, this is an eight-hundred-mile urgent document, and please ask the emperor to take a look." ”

Zhao Duqi handed his father-in-law a look, and his father-in-law immediately ran down the steps with his clothes in small steps, and then took the bamboo tube in the herald's hand and quickly returned to Zhao Duqi's side.

In front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, he opened the bamboo tube and took out the fold inside.

Zhao Duqi stretched out his hand to take the fold, read it quickly, and then closed it again, and once again looked at the silent hundred officials below with a gloomy face, and said in a cold tone: "Aiqing, you might as well guess what is in this document." ”

Everyone looked at each other, this Zhao Duqi was expressionless at this time, and his voice was as cold as ever, so how could they guess?

"Your Majesty, Weichen dared to guess. Isn't there good news in this document? At this time, Jiang Fengmao said slowly after pondering for a moment.

provoked Zhao Duqi who sat down to look sideways slightly, and asked him with interest, "Why does Guogong have such a guess?" ”

Jiang Fengmao, on the other hand, glanced up at Zhao Duqi above, and there was no anger in his face, so he replied again: "As a citizen of Qingqi, Weichen naturally hopes to have good news every day. ”

"Hahaha...... It is really the prince of the country who has won the heart. Unbeknownst to him, Zhao Duqi laughed out loud after hearing Jiang Fengmao's compliment.

His smile instantly broke the air that had been frozen for a long time above the hall, and the other officials breathed a sigh of relief silently, and some of the timid ones even grabbed their sleeves and quietly wiped the cold sweat that came out of their foreheads.

"I don't know what good news has made the emperor so happy?" Jiang Fengmao saw that he had guessed correctly, so his face relaxed slightly, but his tone was still cautious and asked.

"Everyone doesn't have to argue anymore, Guo Guochen mentioned in the excerpt that after he heard that the four princes were captured, he immediately led 10,000 troops to sneak attack the garrison camp on the Nanyue border at night, and actually captured the general of the garrison in the camp tent, which was actually the famous Weiyuan general in Nanyue.

This Weiyuan general is a famous general in Nanyue, not only for Nanyue to subdue the surrounding tribes, but also for the third princess of Emperor Xiaozhen, now he is also unaware of the abduction of the time, I am afraid that it will give Emperor Xiaozhen a headache for a while. At that time, we can naturally use this mighty general as a hostage and exchange with Nanyue. ”

Zhao Duqi said in a steady and slow tone, but there was a touch of calculation and shrewdness in his eyes, and there was a frightening coldness in his smiling eyes.

Presumably, he must have hated Nanyue very much in the previous incident, but now Guo Guochen immediately helped himself to give the other party a dismount, which was very happy.

The ministers never expected that this matter would turn around so quickly, and they all had expressions of disbelief on their faces.

It's just that the person who said this was Zhao Duqi, so that even if they still had doubts in their hearts, they could only believe the fact in front of them, and the hundred officials who were silent at this time actually congratulated Zhao Duqi in unison: "Congratulations to the emperor." ”

Gu Jinshu looked at Baiguan's ability to slap horses, and the corners of his mouth hooked up an extremely sarcastic smile.

His eyes swept lightly at the eldest prince, and then he spoke: "Your Majesty, the mighty general is infinitely powerful and good at fighting, and Weichen thinks that it is safer to escort him back to Kyoto at this time."

And in this way, Nanyue will also have scruples about Qing Qi, so naturally he will not dare to act rashly. It's just that this matter of escorting the prisoners, King Guo Junwang is afraid that he is also lacking in skills at this time, and Weichen also asked the emperor to send another trusted person to the border to escort the prisoners, so as not to go wrong halfway. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal." At this time, Jiang Fengmao stood out of the queue.

"The minister also seconded the proposal." This was followed by Bai Bin.

"The minister also seconded the proposal." For a while, the voices of seconding the court came and went, and Zhao Duqi, who was sitting on the dragon chair, couldn't help but nod.

It's just that the candidate for this escort is naturally to choose loyal and reliable, Zhao Duqi swept his eyes over the court, and finally stopped on the body of the eldest prince, and was about to open his mouth to give an order, but saw another urgent report of eight hundred miles coming from outside.

"Xuan." Zhao Duqi put away the words that had reached his lips, and asked his father-in-law to immediately publicize the order to enter the temple to face the saint.

At this time, the herald was sweaty and raised the bamboo tube in his hand, and quickly handed it over to his father-in-law, Zhao Duqi took the fold and read it, and after reading it, he was a dragon heart and a great joy, and immediately said: "Nanyue has already sent a messenger to our army's camp at this time, and asked to reach a truce agreement with Guo Guochen. He also plans to attend the canonization ceremony of the concubine on the ninth day of the ninth month of September, when the two sides will exchange hostages from both sides in Kyoto. ”

This time, even sending someone to escort can be omitted.

It's just that Jiang Fengmao, Gu Jinshu and Zhao Jinhuai looked serious, and they saw Jiang Fengmao's eyes full of incomprehension, and then asked, "Your Majesty, is this Nanyue's attitude changing too fast?" Although this mighty general is indeed important, compared with the identity of the fourth prince, it is a little worse after all.

And now Nanyue didn't wait for our side to propose reconciliation, but sent an envoy so quickly, and happened to come to Beijing just in time for the canonization ceremony of the concubine, I'm afraid there is fraud in this. ”

"I don't know if there is any mention in this compromise, whether the meaning of this reconciliation was proposed by Emperor Xiaozhen or Prince Nanyue." Gu Jinshu asked a question at this time that everyone was puzzled.

If the meaning of reconciliation is without the approval of Emperor Xiaozhen, no matter how much Wu Jingqi is favored by his father, this prince cannot act so ultra virescent.

After all, it is not trivial to send envoys to reconcile, Nanyue has already invested a lot of manpower and material resources to support this battle, how can he say that he has given up so easily now?

Although there is a saying that the prince did the things of the Son of Heaven, if the truce and such a major event were only the crown prince, I am afraid that the hundred officials of Nanyue would not agree.

"In this excerpt, it only says that Nanyue will send an envoy. What did Gu Xiaohou have in mind? Zhao Duqi asked his father-in-law to take the fold in his hand and show it to Gu Jinshu, and then gently tapped the table with his right index finger, but there were many speculations in his heart, presumably he also had doubts in his heart at this time.

After Gu Jinshu took the fold, he read it carefully, then handed it back to his father-in-law, pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, there is nothing special about the content of this fold. At this moment, King Guo Jun is writing, he should be waiting for the emperor's decision. Now that Nanyue is proposing reconciliation, and we are exchanging hostages in Kyoto, even if the other party really has any ideas, with the defense force of Kyoto today, it is enough to deal with it, what do you say, the eldest prince? ”
