Chapter 41: Peace Talks
The two walked for a while, and soon the city gate was in front of them, guarded by officers and soldiers in the distance, and thanked them, "Don't forget what you promised me last night." ”
Yes?
Gu Rong looked at him suspiciously.
Xie Yi looked disappointed and said, "So you want to talk without words?" Didn't you say you wanted to invite me to dinner? ”
Gu Rong was amused by his pretence.
"Shizi!" Someone shouted from afar.
Both of them looked at the gate of the city, and the general who patrolled the city was dressed in a strong suit and was riding a horse.
Gu Rong smiled, "Naturally, I mean what I say." ”
The general came to him, turned over and dismounted.
Gu Rong naturally recognized him, bowed his head slightly, counted as a courtesy, and said, "General Yan." ”
Yan Feng was taken aback, and hurriedly replied, "Girl, don't be bothered." ”
At that time, I didn't know her identity in the army, but now the wind and rain have spread all over the city, Wang Yan is extremely fond of his sister, and he does not hesitate to turn his face with the Fang family for her. And recently, she and her own son have made a lot of noise, at this moment, it seems that the rumors may not come true, he has never seen the son of the world so close to any girl, if he still doesn't know the etiquette, it is really a bit rude.
After Yan Feng finished speaking, he said, "Shizi, the envoy came to Xiyuan the day before yesterday to negotiate peace." ”
Peace talks?
A few days ago, the epidemic was rampant at the border of the north, the infected people were killed, injured and cremated, none of the cattle and livestock could escape, and countless injuries and deaths were killed.
The two countries finally made peace with the truce, and the Western Yuan sent people to discuss the matter in detail.
"The old prince asked me to come to you, saying that someone is waiting for you, if you arrive in the imperial capital, go back to the house immediately."
Since Yan Feng had made a trip in person, he thought that there must be something important when he came to the mansion, so he thanked him and said, "Rong'er, I won't send you back to the house, be careful on the way." ”
Gu Rong nodded and watched him go away.
At this moment, in the study of King Xie's mansion, the young man was sitting by the window, and he was the only one in the elegant study.
Xie Yi changed into a clean robe, the sun was hanging slightly, there was still some time before the morning court, Xie Yi walked in the direction of the study.
His chest was tight, and his complexion was not as good as before, but his expression was still dazzling, not at all like a seriously injured person.
The door of the study was wide open, and when Xie Yi stepped into the room, the young emperor had already gotten up, and when he saw him returning, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "You are back." ”
The day before yesterday, the Western Yuan came to enter Beijing, and according to the etiquette, the Ministry of Etiquette took the tour for a day, and today, it is time to enter the palace to discuss relevant matters in detail.
He didn't sleep all night, Wang Yan returned to Beijing for the second watch, and the trial of the Yandu case has not yet been concluded, he thought about it, changed his regular clothes, and went out of the palace to find Xie Changfang on the fourth watch, and just received the news that Xie Yi returned to Beijing.
Xie Yi did not salute and sat down beside him.
There were many speculations and thoughts on this short journey, but when he arrived at the house, the housekeeper told him that someone was waiting for him in the study, and Xie Yi was very surprised. His study, except for his father, no one has ever stepped in, every time the little sister sneaks in, I don't know how much he was punished for this, the identity of the person who can make the Xie family invite him to his study is self-evident, thank you originally had a lot of feelings, but at the moment of seeing him, she just said, "You should try to make your own decision." ”
The young emperor looked at him in bewilderment.
Xie Yi said again, "I did have selfish intentions when I went to Yandu, but if you think about it, isn't the reason for this because of the Gao family?" ”
The matter between the two sides of the strait has already been recognized, and Wang Yan has done a very good job on this errand, and after all the dust settles, no one will look down on Gao Jian.
It's all in one sentence.
Gao Jian suddenly realized, a little unbelievable, his chest surged in an instant, and in a short moment, it seemed to have been tortured by ****.
The eyes met, and there was silence for a while.
Gao Jian opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but at this moment, he suddenly had nothing to say, and after preparing for a long time, he sank silently.
He stood up with his sleeves upright, his weak figure was straight, he stood with his hands in his hands, looking at the sunrise outside the window, but his heart was like a sea of clouds churning, the waves were roaring, and he didn't speak for a long time.
After a while, Gao Jian laughed at himself in his heart, father, father, do you know what you have failed in?
He pushed the door open and left.
Xie Yi sat in his seat just now, the pen inkstone was placed on one side, and the snow-white paper was dyed with a drop of black ink, fainting a little, obviously the writer was restless, hesitant and did not know how to write.
Xie slowly crumpled it up and discarded it to the ground.
You have been in the East Palace for many years, you should grow up, the king of a country, since you should learn to take over the world of the Gao family, although the Xie family is standing behind you, but you can't always be strong, you are the king, I am the minister, the monarch and the minister are different, how can you talk and do things like in the past.
You are the only friend I am grateful for, and I should believe that you will be a good king, but there are some things that you have to give up if you want them.
Thank you for her slight gloom.
Today's early court, thank you still went, but never said a word, regardless of the many discussions in the court, he stood on the far right, the head of the ministers, the dark red court clothes were worn on him, the sword eyebrows and stars, and he had a heroic spirit that no one else could match.
The dispute was fruitless for a long time, and the young king on the high seat swept past the Manchu civil and military affairs, and finally, slowly quieted down, and he came to a final conclusion, saying, "The relevant peace talks will be presided over by the Ministry of Rites." ”
Is this agreeing to peace talks?
Many officials under the court had different faces, and some of them came out of the ranks and shouted, "The Holy One cannot be ......"
Immediately, someone chimed in and shouted, "The emperor is wise! ”
Someone on the left side came out and said, "The minister thinks it's not appropriate......
The king sat on his high seat, as if he couldn't hear it, and said, "Shangguan Wenqi! ”
A young courtier came out and said respectfully, "The courtier is here!" ”
"I'll leave it to you. ”
Shangguan Wenqi said more respectfully, "The minister obeys the order!" ”
The matter of peace talks was thus settled.
During the night, the winter rain began to fall, and in the morning it stopped again.
In the afternoon, the garden of Xie Mansion was hung with lights, Xie Junwan was ordering people to carry screens, people set up tables and chairs, prepare tea and snacks, and the huge courtyard was not lively.
This poem will be personally arranged by Princess Xie, and the invitation was sent out early, and Zhang Luo in Xie's mansion has been busy for several days, and today can be regarded as the real beginning.
A young lady came early, and went to the back garden to ask Princess Xie a question mark, it was still early, and the house was very happy to talk, and there were bursts of laughter.
Xie Junwan was busy with all this, and after paying tribute to his mother, he went out of the house, and couldn't help whispering, "One by two, I am in a hurry to offer courtesy, and I have the ability to go to my brother to offer it, and I bully my mother to talk well, and I can't get rid of it like a fly......"
Her personal maid is called Qing'er, and she also knows the temper of her county lord, so she hurriedly comforted, "Miss, don't be angry with them, you let them be courteous to the son of the world, I'm afraid that if you don't forget the lessons of the past, the prince will not pity the jade." ”
Xie Junwan's face turned a little pale, "Hmph, that person who comes to my house every time he comes to my house, he is vying to show his face in front of my mother, and he can't help himself!" ”
Qing'er helped her and comforted, "Okay, my good county lord, don't be angry, they don't do anything about themselves, we don't pay attention to them, the county lord is tired for a long time, hurry up and rest, the poetry meeting is about to start." ”
Xie Junwan was half-coaxed and half-persuaded by Qing'er and took her back to the garden to rest.
