Chapter 120: Cession
Conspirator?
Su Le's words really made Hua Rong smack, and he forgot the language for a while.
Calling Emperor Zhao an accomplice, Hua Rong didn't know what Su Le said to Emperor Zhao when he entered the palace alone before, but now it seems that Emperor Zhao is completely on Su Le's side, no wonder this road is so calm.
Knowing that Su Le already had a plan, there shouldn't be much of a problem if there were no accidents on the road, and Hua Rong was finally relieved.
Everything was as Hua Rong thought, and there were no obstacles along the way, but compared to the calm on their side, the Northern Palace was not very calm.
At this time, Zhao Rongdu hurried into the palace, and asked calmly with a secret anger in his heart: "Father, why are you doing this? I heard that Su Le left is what you meant? Have you forgotten her main thing?"
Emperor Zhao glanced at him lukewarmly: "I haven't forgotten, it's just that compared to her talent, there are more important things for her to do now." ”
"Father, what can compare to the benefits she brings?" Zhao Rongdu frowned, not understanding what Emperor Zhao was doing at all.
"You don't have to worry about anything, but I warn you not to touch her. ”
"Father's ......"
"Don't think I don't know what you're doing behind your back, I just don't want to bother with you. Emperor Zhao interrupted him.
Among the princes, Emperor Zhao originally intended that Zhao Chaoyang and Zhao Rongdu, the two princes, would inherit his unification in the future, Emperor Zhao took a fancy to Zhao Chaoyang's kindness and could win the hearts of the people, but he also took a fancy to Zhao Rongdu's ruthlessness and decisiveness, such a person was really decisive in major matters.
That's why he lets them compete, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know anything.
Only this time, Emperor Zhao didn't allow Zhao Rongdu to mess around, because that would only harm the northern kingdom, and ...... Southland.
After a long journey of several days, Su Le and the others finally returned to the border of the southern country.
When Su Le stood outside the city gate, Leng Junshu was really stunned for a long time, and after half a sound, he rushed over: "Madam, you ...... Why did you come back? Will Emperor Zhao let you go? Or is something happening again?"
But why didn't he get the news?
The last sentence, Leng Junxuan didn't say it, but just wondered in his heart.
But he didn't know that Su Le's return this time was very secretive, and it was a temporary decision, no matter who it was, it was an afterthought, so let alone Leng Junchou, even Shi Xiaoxiao and others didn't know Su Le's decision, how could Leng Junchou know!
"Let's go back and talk about it!"
Hearing this, Leng Junchou had no choice but to return to the tent with Su Le.
"Can you say it now?What happened?Why did you come back suddenly?Is it because of Chen'er?" Leng Jun's stunned gaze fell on Su Chen's body.
Su Le didn't speak, but ordered someone to take Su Chen down, and then said: "I came back this time to see Emperor Zhou, and secondly, to see my grandfather." ”
"You want to see them?" Leng Junchou was very puzzled, not knowing what the relationship between the two was.
"Hmm!" Su Le nodded: "Okay, I'll talk about it later, I'll rest at the border tonight and go back to Kyoto tomorrow." ”
After thinking about it for a while, Su Le added: "You can go back with me tomorrow!"
Hearing this, Leng Jun sighed: "I'm afraid this won't work, you know, Your Majesty asked me to guard the border pass." ”
Guards?
Su Le smiled coldly, and said it nicely, saying that it was a town guard, but in fact, it was a border pass, and he couldn't go back without permission.
"Okay, this time is different, you should be fine if you go back with me. "Because there are more important things than Leng Junchou leaving the border pass, how could Emperor Zhou and Leng Junchou care about whether he left the border pass.
And the current Emperor Zhou needs Leng Junchou, so he will not do anything to Leng Junchou, and he will curry favor in every way.
Leng Junchou was very puzzled, but since Su Le said that, he must have some certainty, so the next day, Leng Junchou returned to Kyoto with Su Le.
And Emperor Zhou also received the news as soon as possible, so he summoned Leng Junchou into the palace, but there was one more Su Le with him.
Seeing Su Le, Emperor Zhou was happy and angry at the same time.
He was happy that Su Le had returned to the southern country, but he was also angry, because Su Le actually let Leng Junchou come back without authorization, isn't this equivalent to rebelling against the monarch?
Seeing the anger in Emperor Zhou's heart, Su Le was not surprised, she just slowly took out a death-free gold medal, this death-free gold medal was different from the other one that Emperor Zhou gave her, because this was the death-free gold medal in the north, in addition to the word-free on the front, there was also a north-free character on the back.
"What do you mean, do you want to blackmail Emperor Zhao?" Emperor Zhou squinted slightly.
Su Le smiled faintly: "Your Majesty misunderstood, I mean that this time I came on behalf of Emperor Zhao, and this is the fold that Emperor Zhao handed over to you on my behalf." ”
After saying that, Su Le took out another thing from his arms, and the slave on the side immediately took it smartly, and then handed it to Emperor Zhou.
Emperor Zhou took it and opened it, and when he saw it, he was surprised, and there was ...... Heaviness.
"Is this true?" Emperor Zhou raised the fold in his hand.
"I have no reason to lie to you, and Emperor Zhao has no reason, after all, you know better than me about the relationship between the two countries, if it is not true, why should Emperor Zhao bow to you. ”
Su Le nodded, and said: "So now is not the time for the two countries to go-for-tat, you should think about how to join forces to protect your country, otherwise with the current situation, I am afraid that it will not be long before the northern and southern kingdoms will be replaced by people unconsciously, at that time, is there still any point in the fight between the two countries? I'm afraid it will only be a wedding dress for others, so I have a proposal now, that is, to ease the relationship between the two countries on the grounds of harmony." ”
"And pro?"
Emperor Zhou was slightly stunned: "But the princesses of the northern kingdom are all married, and there is no suitable candidate for a while, or is it that the princess of the northern kingdom is going to marry him? ”
"It's just a princess, what do you think of Miss Wanyun and His Royal Highness Chaoyang? Miss Wanyun is gentle and decent, and she has saved His Royal Highness Chaoyang, which can be regarded as the fate of the two of them. Su Le said.
Originally, Su Le wanted to say that she and Leng Junchou would hold another wedding banquet, on the grounds of harmony.
But think about it, Wanyun's name in the north is not justified now, and Wanyun's affection also makes Su Le admire, so Su Le thought, maybe he could help her.
Emperor Zhou groaned for a while, and then said resolutely: "Okay, pass on the will of Lonely, Miss Wanyun is gentle and skillful, talented, specially canonized as Princess Wanyun, and sent to the north to make peace with His Royal Highness Chaoyang on a certain day, stabilize the two countries, and wish the friendship between the two countries will last forever." In addition, Prince Leng guarded the border with dedication and loyalty, and specially allowed Prince Leng to return to Beijing. ”
In the latter words, Emperor Zhou completely gave Su Le a face, and Emperor Zhou's actions also shocked Leng Junshou, he really didn't understand, what Emperor Zhao said to Emperor Zhou in his compromises, why did the two countries become a joint situation, could something big happen?
And it threatens the stability of the two countries?
Leng Junxuan had endless doubts in his heart, and he hadn't come back to his senses until he walked out of the palace.
"What's the matter, I'm wondering, isn't it?" Su Le said.
Leng Junshu nodded: "What happened?"
Su Le didn't answer directly, but said: "A long time ago, I looked at the map and all the fields of the two countries, but I found that there were still many empty places, so at that time I was thinking, in addition to the north and the south, maybe there are also national borders that we don't know, and it turns out that there are still people in those barren places, and those people have been planning for a long time, and they have begun to act more than twenty years ago, they may be eager for rich regions, so they started the plan of invasion." ”
"But they can't blend in all at once, so they're just invading little by little, and their current lords ......"
Speaking of this, Su Le sighed deeply and said helplessly: " That person is my grandfather, when my mother approached my father, and married my father because of Sun Zhiqian's order, but my mother had feelings for my father, so in the end I couldn't bear to do it, and was discovered by my father, my father wanted to persuade my mother, persuade Sun Zhiqian, but accidentally died in the hands of my mother, my mother was very remorseful, very sad, and finally went with my father, and over the years, Sun Zhiqian has been lurking, he has another plan. ”
And Zhao Huangji was afraid that he would not return, so before persuading, he had already planned something else, hiding the story in Tianlin Mountain, that is, those murals, and finally handed over the key (dagger) to Zen Xianzi before going to negotiate with Sun Zhiqian.
It's just that Sun Zhiqian is very cunning, after Zhao Huangji and Sun Funiang died, Sun Zhiqian faked everything, making people mistakenly think that the reason why Zhao Huangji and Sun Funiang died was because of the battle for the throne, and he specially handed Su Le over to the Su family for adoption, so that others were convinced.
"This plan is you, right?" Leng Junchou took Su Le's words, and had already thought of some possibility.
Because Sun Zhiqian was very persistent in Su Le at the beginning.
"Yes, it's ridiculous, right?" Su Le smiled self-deprecatingly: "At first, I thought that he asked me to go back to the northern country just to take revenge, but now it seems that he wants to avenge his daughter and find a place for his people, so now whether it is the southern country or the northern country, there are his people." ”
"I think we were too stupid before, how could we believe that Purple Valley is a place where there is no world, if it is really not out of the world, how can there be secular children of Purple Valley outside, and how can there be any casinos and inns and the like, if we can get involved in those things, we are already in the rivers and lakes. ”
"Then what are you going to do? He's your grandfather after all. Leng Junxuan said.
Su Le looked at the moon that had risen in the sky: "Let's see him first! I want to hear what he has to say." ”
"What does this king need to do?"
Su Le shook his head: "Not for the time being, okay, let's go back to the house to rest first! I'm tired!"
Leng Junxuan looked at Su Le who was gone, and sighed helplessly, because he knew that Su Le's real tiredness was in his heart, not his body.
In the long river, a world as beautiful as a peach orchard, at this time, Su Le was not in any mood to appreciate the grass and trees, she sat in front of an old man, bowed her head slightly and said nothing.
On the other side, Sun Zhiqian had a cold face and said indifferently: "Why did you come back? Didn't I warn you that you can't go back to the south without the permission of the deity?"
"You hate my father, and you hate the people of the North, no wonder you always said you wanted to avenge my mother, but you never said strongly that you wanted to avenge my father. Su Le's question was not answered.
Hearing this, Sun Zhiqian frowned: "What do you mean?"
"Don't pretend, I know everything, including how my parents died. Saying that, Su Le smiled coldly: "It's really true, I have always been asked to take revenge before, but I didn't know that it would be you who caused all this." ”
"Nonsense, who told you that it was the deity's fault? The deity is not wrong, it is your father who is at fault, and all the people in the northern kingdom, who must be buried with your mother. Sun Zhiqian was furious.
Su Le had already said this, and Sun Zhiqian also knew that Su Le must know something, otherwise he wouldn't have said this, and he wouldn't have come back at this time.
But in Sun Zhiqian's eyes, everything he did was not wrong, what was wrong was that Zhao Huangji refused to cooperate, if he could cooperate with Sun Funiang back then, things would not have developed to this point, and Sun Funiang would not die, so Sun Zhiqian felt that it was all the fault of Zhao Huangji and the people of the North, and it was they who let his daughter die.
Su Le sneered: "You are really unreasonable, why don't you think about it, if you didn't want to occupy everything from others and want to use my father to hurt the foundation of the northern country, would my father not listen to you? ”
"Since ancient times, the king has become a king and lost a king, I have sought heaven and earth for my people, and sought benefits, why should I be wrong?" Sun Zhiqian's tone was tough, and he didn't feel that he was at fault.
Su Le shook his head: "I see that you are really hopeless, but let me tell you, what my father didn't do back then, I, as a daughter, will not do it, and I tell you the truth, your conspiracy has been known by Emperor Zhao and Emperor Zhou, and the northern and southern kingdoms have decided to join forces, so I advise you not to do stupid things again, otherwise even if you are my grandfather, I will not forgive you." ”
"You ......"
Sun Zhiqian pointed at Su Le angrily: "You unfilial grandson, I am your grandfather, you threaten me like this?"
"I just don't want you to be wrong any more. ”
"Hmph!" Sun Zhiqian snorted coldly: "The deity is not wrong, the deity is absolutely not wrong, the deity still has many clansmen to arrange, and there are many people who are not warm enough to eat and wear, I am just doing something beneficial to my clansmen, so there is absolutely nothing wrong with the deity, it is you who are wrong, and your father, you are obviously all relatives of the deity, but none of you help the deity." ”
Su Le was really speechless, there are many kinds of help, without hurting others, it is right to help others, but if you need to sacrifice others to help others, it is wrong.
And what Zhao Huangji did back then was just not wanting to violate his conscience.
"You're really stubborn. This was Su Le's final conclusion: "No matter what you think, but this is my last piece of advice, and I also advise you to stop, otherwise both you and your people will be robbed, because once the two countries are united, how can you little foreigners resist? ”
"No, it's not, the deity is for their good, for them to have a better life. ”
Su Le stood up: "I have nothing to say to you, I will say it all for now, you think about it yourself, don't worry about it yourself and affect your people when the time comes." ”
After that, Su Le was about to leave, but Sun Zhiqian snorted coldly: "Did the deity let you go? Since you are here, then stay! I believe that Prince Leng or His Royal Highness Chaoyang will be interested in this matter." ”
Things have come to this point, Sun Zhiqian is ready to take Su Le as a hostage, because there are too many people who care about Su Le, why don't he take advantage of one or two.
Hearing this, Su Le shook his head in disappointment: "I think you are really crazy, I am your granddaughter, you want to keep me as a hostage?"
"The deity is only doing something that is beneficial to my people. Sun Zhiqian said coldly.
Su Le snorted coldly: "Then I have to disappoint you, because before I came, I had already told Emperor Zhou that if I didn't come out within two hours, let him send troops to attack Purple Valley, Purple Valley is your main domain, if Emperor Zhou sends troops to attack, even if you are the patriarch, it will be difficult for you to explain to your people, right?"
"You ......"
Sun Zhiqian was furious, but Su Le turned a blind eye and turned around and left.
It wasn't until he walked out of the Purple Valley that Su Le was truly relieved.
Hua Rong on the side was already drenched in sweat: "Girl, didn't you tell me at the time because of this?"
Hua Rong didn't expect that what happened back then would be like this, no wonder Su Le didn't say a word to her, because this matter was too important, before Emperor Zhao and Emperor Zhou didn't nod and join forces, Su Le had no confidence at all.
That's why Su Le couldn't tell the matter, because Su Le was worried that if he spread the matter, it would be detrimental to the south and the north.
It wasn't until now, when it was time for the showdown, that Su Le let her know.
"I'm sorry, I didn't even hide it from you. Su Le said with some guilt.
Hua Rong shook his head: "It's okay, you are also thinking about the overall situation, it's just that Sun Gu Lord is so tough, what should I do in the future?"
In the final analysis, no matter how wrong Sun Zhiqian is, he is also Su Le's grandfather, and Su Le can't really be so ruthless, so Hua Rong is a little worried that Su Le is in a dilemma.
One side is the people of the two countries, and the other side is his own relatives, how embarrassed Su Le is!
"Let's clean up the 'battlefield' first!" Su Le said pointingly.
It's just that in her heart, she can't bear it.
Su Le didn't know how many people Sun Zhiqian's clan had, but with the current financial resources of Purple Valley, Su Le felt that even if they couldn't eat enough, they should not be hungry, but it was a problem that they didn't have a place to stay.
Because the people in the barren land have no survival, they can only move to rich places, but the southern two countries are very xenophobic, as long as the identity of the unknown will not let them into the city, so this is probably the reason why Sun Zhiqian and his people want to seize something else in every possible way.
Therefore, in Su Le's heart, Sun Zhiqian's clansmen are both pitiful and hateful.
"Maybe I should talk to Emperor Zhou again. Su Le said.
Su Le actually wanted to help Sun Zhiqian's clansmen, because they were also barren and couldn't survive, but she was also a drop in the bucket now, and she couldn't take care of all the people with her own strength.
Therefore, she could only ask Emperor Zhou and Emperor Zhao to see if she could solve this problem, so that Sun Zhiqian's people might not think about anything to replace the north and the south.
Just do it, Su Le went to tell Emperor Zhou about it first, but Emperor Zhou immediately vetoed: "Lele, it's not that Lone doesn't believe you, but Lone doesn't believe Sun Zhiqian and his people, if Lone gives up part of the territory, can you guarantee that they won't ask for more?"
Hearing this, Su Le was silent.
People are sometimes so insatiable, they want to get more when they get the sweetness, not to mention that Sun Zhiqian has no intention of repenting until now, so Su Le can't guarantee anything.
Seeing that she was silent, Emperor Zhou said again: "You can't guarantee it, right? And don't say anything else, even if Gu agrees, do you think Emperor Zhao will agree?"
Su Le's proposal was for the north and south to cede part of the territory so that Sun Zhiqian's clansmen would have a place to stay, which could be regarded as Zhao'an in disguise, but no matter what Emperor Zhou thought and what Emperor Zhao thought, they didn't know.
"If Emperor Zhao agrees, can you agree?" asked Su Le.
Emperor Zhou pondered for a while, and then said: "If Emperor Zhao agrees, there is no reason for Gu to disagree, after all, the two countries are now in a joint situation." ”
"Okay, since that's the case, then Emperor Zhao will leave it to me to persuade, of course, Your Majesty, please rest assured, before handing over their territory, I will negotiate with Sun Zhiqian on the terms, they must sign a peace treaty before they can get the territory, so if he really has the heart to think about his people, I believe Sun Zhiqian will also agree." ”
"Since you have said so, then I will leave this matter to you! You first go and ask Emperor Zhao what he means, and see what he says" Emperor Zhou nodded.
"Okay, I got it. ”
After Su Le left, Emperor Zhou returned to the Qing Palace with a sigh, and when he came back listlessly, Empress Zhou said with some doubts: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
Emperor Zhou glanced at Empress Zhou, and then talked to her about it, after listening, Empress Zhou frowned slightly: "Do you have to cede the territory?"
Emperor Zhou: "If you can do this, Lone doesn't want to do this, it's just that Purple Valley has a long history, how many people have been placed in Sun Zhiqian's clan, Lone doesn't know, now the enemy is in the dark, we are in the light, we really have to fight hard, I'm afraid it's us who suffer, so Lone has to let Su Le maneuver around." ”
"That said, if some territories can be ceded to peace, it is worth it, and the concubines are worried that they will have one thing behind their backs, then we will suffer. ”
Emperor Zhou sighed: "It's not, so Lone is also worried about losing his wife and breaking his army, and it's not okay to give, and it's not okay not to give, so I'm annoying!"
"In that case, let's see how Lele and Emperor Zhao talk first!" Empress Zhou said.
Emperor Zhou walked to the side and sat down, his heart was dull, he nodded with a sigh: "Things have come to this point, and it can only be like this!"
