"Hahahaha, Su Qing's proposal is very good, saving a lot of silver for the treasury."

A thick laugh sounded in the hall, and the hall knelt on the ground, Li Ruyan broke out in a cold sweat, looking sad and angry, "Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

Behind him, a group of civil officials followed and bowed, and begged one after another, "Your Majesty, please think twice." ”

Xiao Ye had long expected that it would be today's scene, and snorted coldly, "What I do, you all let me think twice, I ask you, which of you can play against the enemy." ”

No one spoke, Li Ruyan was about to speak, "What's the big deal about ceding the three cities in the west, it's just a delaying tactic, and in the future, the army will be strong and the country will be snatched back, and now the treasury is empty, and it is not enough to support the continuation of the fight!"

"But?"

"Okay, don't say it again, I have already issued an order to divide the eastern border to the barbarian country, and whoever dares to say more will be disobedient."

Leaving such a sentence, Xiao Ye retreated angrily, and didn't take care of them anymore, for him, this group of civil officials will be replaced sooner or later, and it is not worth him to entrap.

"Lord Li, Lord Li!" As soon as he retreated, Xie Chen hurriedly found Li Ruyan, with a sad expression on his face, "Lord Li, this eastern border is really just handed over to people, Dayan is guarding the four realms, if the eastern border is divided, won't the country be opened and let them in?" ”

"yes, not really!" Someone behind him chimed in.

Li Ruyan sighed, "Who knows what this majesty thinks." ”

"However, the eastern border used to be guarded by His Majesty, and there has been nothing wrong with each other for many years, and at this time, His Majesty must have a number in his heart to sign such an agreement."

What's the number? When Xiao Ye guarded the eastern border, who didn't know that Xiao Ye and those barbarians in the east did not interfere with the river water, and even had a good relationship, Xiao Ye had opened up trade with the help of the relationship between the two countries, and now the barbarians suddenly attacked, which was already suspicious, but Xiao Ye signed such an agreement with them at this moment.

It is true that the treasury is empty, and it has taken a lot of money to prepare for the scientific expedition this year against the enemy in the southwest, and the seizure of the Golden Bird Hall can definitely fill the emptiness of the treasury.

It is a joke that the barbarians came to commit no general, after Xiao Ye took the throne, he pulled down the military attaches who did not obey him and replaced them with his own people, saying that no one would consume the country is an excuse, and now Xiao Yuanjun's henchman Yan Zijun is guarding the eastern border, Xiao Yu'an has also arrived in the north, and everyone speculates that Xiao Ye has a cooperation with the barbarians, with the help of their power to control the eastern border, and open their chips.

Everyone thought so, and they didn't dare to say it, Xie Chen sighed, and several people behind him also sighed, and those soldiers who guarded the border were guilty on the left and right.

"No matter what the reason, as long as there is no war, it is good, and the snow disaster in the east this year, I am afraid that I will not be able to bear it, and those soldiers will also have a hard time."

Long sighs came into Xiao Jie's ears one after another, and he followed behind them slowly, listening to them analyze the situation in front of them, his eyes dark, and his fists clenched.

As soon as he left the palace gate, he asked the palace guards at the door, "Where is Mr. Su?" ”

According to Su Li's official position, there is no way to go to the court, Xiao Ye gave him privileges, and allowed him to participate in politics without giving him real power, in the eyes of everyone, he Su Li is Xiao Ye's entire civil official mechanism, and everyone in the court is just here to go through the motions.

The palace man lowered his head and pointed in his direction, Xiao Jue turned his head to look, and saw that Su Li was still dressed in white, his clothes were fluttering, and he hurriedly walked through the corridor, as if he was in a hurry to do something, or he wanted to escape from this place quickly.

Xiao Jue hurriedly chased after him, walked to his side in three or two, and clasped his wrist, Su Li frowned and turned back, as if he was a little surprised, and then saluted, "Attend His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Xiao never ignored him, looking at him quietly, Su Li didn't understand what he meant, but he was patient and could wait.

"Mr. Su, do you know what kind of consequences your proposal will bring to Dayan?"

"Oh?" After hearing this, Su Li seemed to realize that he had come to him to say this, and smiled lightly, "What do you think the prince will do?" ”

Xiao Jie's eyes were sharp, dyed with a bit of murderous intent, his appearance was very distinctive, he was handsome, especially the red lips, like a little lipstick, ruddy and shiny, and some women, with a pair of eagle eyes, when he looked at people, he felt sharp, and now he was looking at Su Li like this.

"Mr. Su will not fail to understand, it is not beneficial to divide the eastern territory to the barbarians, don't use the excuse that my father has any agreement with the barbarians, my father is not that kind of person."

This is true, Xiao Ye is indeed not that kind of person, he will not give up Ning Yi for the sake of one benefit, he is very ambitious, he wants both fish and bear paws.

These are only known to those who know Xiao Ye well, Su Li met his gaze, "The prince is right, it's all an excuse." ”

Xiao Du suppressed his anger, "Why do you want to do this? In this way, the soldiers in the east fell into injustice, lost the morale of the army, and how to lead a hundred armies. ”

"Didn't His Highness the Eastern Frontier Army bring it back to Kyoto?" Su Li said lightly, Xiao Jue looked stunned, his face was a little bad, Xiao Jue was the one who led the soldiers, he was right to care about the soldiers, but he only cared about the soldiers in his hands.

"Your Highness thinks that Your Majesty will cede the eastern border to the barbarians, then you are wrong, Your Majesty is the enemy from beginning to end, and now General Yan Zijun is guarding the eastern border and suppressing the barbarians, Your Highness will agree to the past, do you say those barbarians will not?"

"But His Highness seems to have forgotten that the jade seal is not in His Majesty's hands."

In a trance, Xiao Jue reacted and looked at Su Li in a daze.

Su Li saluted and hurriedly walked by, his white sleeved robe rose with the wind, and his back disappeared into the corridor after a while.

The jade seal is not in Xiao Ye's hands, Yan Zijun will not admit the paper agreement, but the barbarians are not willing to give up such a good opportunity, the two sides face off, and at this time, what choice will Xiao Yu'an, who is far away in the north, make?

If he turns back to help, Xiao Ye will immediately lead the army to attack Xiao Yu'an, and execute him for the crime of plotting chaos, if he won't, Xiao Yu'an's honor guard will also lose the people's support, and they are equal in terms of troops, but only after recovering the northern border, they lost the people's hearts and waited for them to rush to Kyoto, which consumed a lot, how could it be Xiao Ye's opponent, this is another dead move.

No matter how they go, the best outcome is a lose-lose situation, but this is not what the Iraqis want.

The news of ceding the eastern city is like venom swimming in the body, the news of the secret whistle has not yet arrived, and the people have already spread, Xiao Ye's purpose is so obvious that he has to make a choice.

An Sheng hurriedly came back from outside, and the eyes of the three of them instantly focused on him, only to see An Sheng nodding with a dark face, and the three of them took a long breath, hiding their anger.

With a "bang", the glass cup in Xiao Yu'an's hand shattered, and bright red blood flowed out of his fingers, he put his hand behind his back with an expressionless face, and ordered An Sheng, "You go out first." ”

An Sheng glanced at Seventeen uneasily, but didn't say anything.

Yiren and Seventeen glanced at each other, there was gloom in their eyes, and they didn't speak first.

"How long will it be before we meet General Zhenguo?"

"Five days at most!"

"Five days!" Xiao Yu'an slowly closed his eyes, five days is too long, anything can happen.

Jingling, the sound of bits and pieces falling to the ground, Xiao Yu'an waved away the things in front of him with one hand, and swept all the documents and cups in front of the case to the ground.

"Brother Xiao?"

The people of Iraq, who had never seen him so angry, called him out uneasily.

Xiao Yu'an sat down in a chair decadently, "I'm going to the East." ”

"No!" Seventeen stepped forward and stopped him.

Xiao Yu'an raised his eyelids and stared at him, for some reason, Seventeen felt that his eyes had changed, not as pure as before, there were more things he couldn't understand, even if he said that he was going to the East, he didn't see blood in his eyes, as if he just said this.

"Why?"

Yiren also looked back at him, and said in a deep voice: "Our troops are insufficient, if you return to Beijing at this time, Xiao Ye will definitely arrange someone to ambush you, if you are defeated in this battle, you will be completely lost."

"So what to do?" Xiao Yu'an spoke at the right time, and there was no emotion in his voice.

Yiren was stopped by his words, turned his head to look at him, and saw that his expression was indifferent, and there was some imperceptible disdain in his eyes, which was fleeting, and Yiren thought that he was wrong, but that second of illusion made her creepy.

"The jade seal is in the hands of the princess, Yan Zijun will not compromise so easily to defend the eastern border, we just need to hurry up and join the northern army, only if our forces are strong enough, we will have the qualifications to be the enemy against him."

Xiao Ye has nothing, only sufficient troops, they have everything, but they don't have the capital to confront Xiao Ye, and now time is their only hope.

After Seventeen finished speaking, he stood there quietly, the bright candle flame illuminated his face warmly, and after a long time, Xiao Yu'an spoke, "Then do as you say, set off immediately, and hurry overnight." ”

Seventeen Yeyi people were both stunned, glanced at each other, and did not speak.

They felt that today's Xiao Yu'an was very different, he was surprisingly calm, and even weird, which made them feel inexplicably chilled.

The result was what they wanted, but it inexplicably made them feel that they were being led by the nose, and the two of them were out of the main account, and there was a sense of relief.

"Do you feel that Brother Xiao feels a little different?"

Seventeen glanced back at the curtain that had been lowered, lowered his eyes, and stepped forward to hold her hand, "Maybe it's different, after all, I've been through so many things." ”

That being said, there are some things that the people of Iraq don't want to think about, "Why don't you want him to go to the East?" ”

Seventeen sighed, a little helpless, "It's not that I don't want him to go back, but I can't go back." ”

"We know Xiao Ye's character, Xiao Ye may not know the personality of His Royal Highness the Prince, our prince has lived in a family since he was a child, where have he seen any sinister people, and he has a benevolent and compassionate morality in his heart, Xiao Ye just grasped his characteristic, and was sure that he would definitely return, so it's not that I don't want him to go back, but I can't let him go back."

A person like Xiao Yu'an is indeed a little more benevolent, according to his temperament, it is impossible to give up the lives of those people in the east, Yiren recalled what Xiao Yu'an meant just now, she wanted to go back, she thought about it, hesitated, and looked at Seventeen uneasily, "But I look at him, and he doesn't seem to insist too much on going." ”

Seventeen's persuasion was too easy, it was definitely beyond Xiao Ye's expectations, and Seventeen didn't expect that as soon as he stepped along, Yiren bumped into his back, and she rubbed her forehead aggrievedly, "What's wrong?" ”

Seventeen came out of nowhere, "Maybe I've experienced so many different things." ”

Yiren understood this, but she didn't know what she understood, if he closed himself off because of these things, then he would have endured too much, if it was the second, Yiren felt a chill rise in his heart, and he felt that his whole body began to stiffen, and he shivered, and he didn't think about it.

Seventeen took her hand and picked her up in the air and put it in the crook of his arm, "Let's go, take you to eat delicious food before leaving, you see you're all gone." ”

As he spoke, his other hand reached over and grabbed her waist and gestured, "Look, it's better to breathe out of your head." ”

Iren looked at his perfectly developed skull, and then thought of his face that was so angry and unaware that he didn't care about him touching her waist.

However, what invited him to eat delicious was to eat a bowl of clear soup and salted water, which had to be carefully calculated.

So the next day, Yiren wore a white cloud smoke, with hollow lotus flowers on his chest, a white feather pendant hanging from his waist, a hairpin plain and elegant, red lips, and fluttering clothes.

When Yiren got up one day, he saw a crimson dress hanging beside the bed, and the white cloud smoke could not be found in any way, and Seventeen passed by her, humming a song leisurely, and was in a good mood.

Yiren laughed and didn't bother with him.

During this period, they have been on the way north, rushing overnight, occasionally resting, and the original five-day journey took only three days.

They saw the deputy general of the northern border at sunset, and Xiao Ye's affairs had long been in their ears, but the order of King Qin had not arrived, and they did not dare to leave the eastern border without authorization.

General Zhenguo didn't deal with Xiao Ye, Xiao Ye had long been afraid of the military strength in the north, and he was guarding Kyoto now, if he was allowed to seize the handle, the gains would outweigh the losses, so he could only wait here.

The deputy general is the confidant of the old general, named Chen Yi, who is an honest person, and when he saw them, especially Xiao Yu'an, he hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

Xiao Yu'an was a little uncomfortable, and stiffly helped him up, Chen Yi didn't dare to get up, and the seventeen beside him quipped, "Old Chen, get up quickly, you don't want this knee anymore." ”

Chen Yi took a sip of him, then got up on his knees, turned his head to look at Yiren, and looked at it, his face was stunned, "This girl, look so familiar, have we met somewhere?" ”

Iren hurriedly buried his head and turned sideways from him.

Seventeen stepped forward to block Chen Yi's sight, and grabbed his shoulder, "Of course it's familiar, my daughter-in-law, you may have seen me and loved each other in your last life." ”

"Slap", everyone can even hear the sound of Seventeen screaming in his heart, and if the palm is slapped down, the injury on Seventeen's back is afraid that it will recur.

"Just your kid has no skin and no face, you have been in Kyoto for three years and have not learned anything except to kidnap a daughter-in-law, what are you doing in Kyoto."

"I'm going to beg my daughter-in-law, hehe!"
