The capital, the Imperial Palace.

The emperor called Duan Yinzhou into the palace overnight, and then handed him the letter he had received.

"This letter is Ah Zhen's, take a closer look."

Duan Yin Zhou had a bad premonition on the way here, and now when he heard the emperor say this, he felt even more unlucky.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Duan Yinzhou looked at the thin letter, and his hand even trembled a little when he opened the letter.

After everyone had finished reading everything, the emperor handed the jade pendant to Duan Yinzhou, "This is sent with the letter." ”

Duan Yinzhou was still holding a few lucky pieces of luck and shattered clean, this jade pendant was given by Qin Yunluo, even if anything else was lost, he dared to guarantee that this fast jade pendant would definitely not appear here at this time.

When the emperor saw Duan Yinzhou's face, he understood everything.

"Is this really Ah Zhen's?"

Duan Yinzhou nodded affirmatively, and said, "This jade pendant was given by Yunluo's girl, if it wasn't for something extremely urgent, or something that endangered his life, he would never let this jade pendant out of his sight." ”

Duan Yinzhou's voice trembled a little, "So, something must have happened to him." ”

If... If something really happened to Duan Xingzhen, then ......

Duan Yinzhou suddenly stabilized, and then said, "Since they sent a letter, it means that there is still a glimmer of opportunity for the better, Your Majesty, we can't mess with ourselves." ”

"As you say, how?"

Duan Yinzhou said calmly, "Gather the ministers and discuss the final solution." ”

"Pass the decree and immediately summon the ministers into the palace."

The emperor did not delay, and immediately ordered the eunuchs to follow.

The eunuch waited for this order, and when the emperor relented, he flew straight out of the palace.

Whether it is the emperor or Duan Yinzhou, they are very nervous now.

For the two of them, Duan Xingzhen is a pillar of talent that the Ji Dynasty cannot lack, and he is also the only son of a father.

The emperor first explained this matter clearly, and then said, "What do you Aiqing think?" ”

When they were just called into the palace today, they knew that things would not be so simple, but they didn't expect that things had already gone so bad.

"Your Majesty, has this matter been verified?"

One of them, who was not very old, but very old, walked out and asked with some surprise.

The emperor was a little impatient, and did not answer his question, but said, "What do you Aiqing think, just speak freely." ”

Liu He didn't expect that what he heard when he entered the palace was such a bad news, if Qin Yunluo knew......

No, you can't let her know.

"Lord Liu, Your Majesty is asking you about you."

A civil official next to him bumped into Liu He, who was distracted, and he didn't know what he thought of, so he was distracted at this time.

Liu He didn't react unusually, and then said, "Your Majesty, Weichen believes that this matter should be negotiated first, if they still think that this matter must be warned, our Ji Dynasty is naturally not afraid." ”

Fang had already argued about this matter, and the emperor was a little brain-sore by them, and it happened that Liu He brought it up like this.

"If that's the case, according to what Liu Aiqing said, send the minister to negotiate first."

After the crowd dispersed, Duan Yinzhou had not left, and similarly, Liu He did not leave.

"Prince Rui, this matter is still hidden from Prince Rui and Princess Shizi."

Duan Yinzhou nodded, "I think the same way, but how long can I hide it?" ”

His son's ability, he knows it well in his heart, if he is really controlled by others, it is really a very big thing.

Either he met someone who was on the same level as him and was slightly inferior to others, or he was seriously injured now and had no ability to resist, or he was threatened by something he cared about.......

According to Duan Xingzhen's character, there is only the second possibility now.

As long as he thought of this, Duan Yinzhou's mood was extremely heavy, and now he could only wait for the envoy to come back.

After more than ten days, the envoy did not return, but the envoy's letter arrived early.

"Your Majesty, the Qi State believes that this matter is Duan Shizi's fault first, no matter what the purpose is, it has already caused losses to their country, so the price must be paid."

"What a big breath." The emperor was furious, "It's just a small country." ”

That being said, the emperor also knew in his heart that this was just a momentary breath.

Their most powerful men are in their hands, and no matter what they may be, if war arises at this time, it will do no good.

"As mentioned in the letter, Duan Shizi killed a lot of people after he went to Qi State." Liu He said quite calmly, "This is just a means for them to find an excuse to start a war." ”

"Duan Shizi's letter has already said that they have prepared enough food, grass and weapons, so this time they are bound to take advantage of this opportunity." Liu He looked at the emperor, "Their purpose is to help the territory of the dynasty. ”

The emperor's face changed suddenly, and the faint discussion among the ministers became silent, and his eyes looked at Liu He with some solemnity.

"That.... What do you Aiqing say, is there a better way? ”

If they didn't come up with a solution at this time, they could guarantee that this time the emperor would find someone to vent his anger.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Liu He's body, but Liu He still just wrinkled his brows and thought about something, and didn't notice their expected gaze at all.

"Wang Aiqing, you say."

Lord Wang walked out of the second row of military attachés and trembled for a long time before he said, "If they Qi are so ignorant, you might as well teach them a lesson directly." ”

"This is what Wang Aiqing just thought?"

"Your Majesty Hui, our Ji Dynasty has abundant national strength, sufficient food and grass, and even more weapons, if the Qi State is so provocative, there is no need to be too emotional."

The emperor glanced around, looked at Liu He, who was still thinking with his eyebrows, and suddenly spoke, "What about Liu Aiqing?" ”

"Your Majesty, it's too early to talk about war." Liu He analyzed in an orderly manner, "Now that Duan Shizi is in their hands, they undoubtedly have a bargaining chip, which is especially unfavorable to us." ”

The emperor's face was not soothed in the slightest, and Liu He also said the things he had just thought of one by one.

"If you want to win the war, you must rescue Duan Shizi, so that you can have no worries."

"If something happens to Duan Shizi, it will definitely be a big loss for Ji Dynasty."

"If the people of the northwest, who have just experienced drought, experience war again, the peace that Your Majesty and Duan Shizi have spent a lot of effort on will also be broken, and the people will be even more displaced."

"Therefore, Weichen still suggests that you don't talk about starting a war lightly."
