This time, Xu Jiuan and Zhu Wu held opposite opinions.

Although he was very reluctant for the princess to go out and kiss for a long time, as an important minister of the emperor, everything should be based on the interest of the country, and he must not lose a big one because of a small loss.

Xu Jiuan said to the emperor: "In the last battle, we have suffered heavy losses. If we continue to fight, I am afraid that it will be difficult to maintain it just by relying on the food and grass we have and the strength of our troops. ”

Hearing Xu Jiu'an say this, the emperor was stunned

The emperor asked Xu Jiu'an: "I don't know what Aiqing means by this?" ”

Hearing the emperor ask himself, he opened his mouth for a long time to explain: "The emperor doesn't know, if the two countries continue to fight this time, whether it is for them or us, it will be a heavy loss, and both sides can't afford to consume it." ”

Seeing Xu Jiu'an say this, the emperor then asked: "Since both sides can't afford to consume, then why do we choose to compromise?" ”

After speaking, the emperor snorted coldly, "In the face of a strong enemy, I have never been afraid. It's a big deal, this time I'm going to go on a personal expedition, so that the enemy country can see our determination and perseverance. ”

When Xu Jiuan and Zhu Wu heard the emperor say that he was going to the battlefield, they suddenly became even more anxious.

Xu Jiuan persuaded the emperor to say: "The emperor is the king of a country, with us, how can we let the emperor go to the battlefield in person?" ”

For a long time, he knew that the reason why the emperor was like this was because he was reluctant to give up the princess, and he was also angry with the envoy, and felt that he had been pressed under his feet.

But the more this happens, the more you have to calm down.

Xu Jiu'an then said to the emperor: "It is true that our two countries can no longer withstand the consumption of a war, but the population of the enemy country is much larger than that of our country, so after both of us are exhausted, it is inevitable that they will recover faster." The same is true for military supplies. ”

After listening to Jiu'an's words, the emperor suddenly woke up, although he was still very unwilling in his heart, but there was really nothing he could do.

The emperor asked Xu Jiu'an, "So Aiqing, what do you mean?" ”

Xu Jiu'an saluted and said: "How this matter should be dealt with in the end, of course, it is up to the emperor to decide by himself, Wei Chen just expressed his opinion a little. Since we don't have a perfect way at the moment, it is not impossible to agree to them for the time being, and it should be taken as an expedient measure. Stabilize their minds first, and then we move on to long-term planning. ”

After hearing this, the emperor was silent and began to hesitate a little.

After thinking for a long time, the emperor waved to Xu Jiuan and Zhu Wu and said, "You guys go down first, I want to be alone and be quiet." ”

"Yes." Xu Jiu'an and Zhu Wu saluted the emperor and then left.

After walking out of the imperial study, Xu Jiuan went to Pei Yuetong.

After a long time, he came to the gate of the palace, but he didn't see Pei Yuetong.

Xu Jiu'an asked the attendant on the side, "Do you know where Pei Yuetong went?" ”

The attendant thought for a while and replied, "Pei Yuetong went to visit Concubine Xian." ”

"Okay, thank you." Xu Jiu'an thanked the attendant.

After learning about Pei Yuetong's whereabouts, Xu Jiuan went to Concubine Xian to find Pei Yuetong.

Seeing that Xu Jiu'an was coming, Concubine Xian immediately stood up and asked Xu Jiu'an: "Xu Jiu'an, I heard that after the palace banquet ended, you were called to the imperial study by the emperor?" ”

"Yes." Jiu'an nodded.

"Then the emperor asked you to discuss, but about kissing?" Concubine Xian then asked Xu Jiu'an.

Hearing Concubine Xian's question, Xu Jiuan glanced up at Pei Yuetong. After thinking about it, Xu Jiuan still decided to answer honestly.

"Yes." Chase Yo Literature

Hearing that Xu Jiu'an was called away by the emperor because of his affinity, Concubine Xian suddenly had hope in her heart.

From this point of view, the emperor still values the princess very much, and he is reluctant to let her go to kiss.

Concubine Xian smiled and asked Xu Jiu'an, "Then what does the emperor think about this matter?" What decisions have been made? ”

Of course, he knew in his heart that Concubine Xian was extremely reluctant for the ninth princess to kiss.

But how could such a thing be allowed to happen in such a situation?

Although the emperor did not give a direct reply just now, seeing the emperor's solemn expression, he also knew in his heart for a long time that the emperor was also planning to let the ninth princess go and kiss.

It's not what everyone wants to see, but it's the only best way to do it right now.

Xu Jiu'an raised his head and glanced at Concubine Xian.

Concubine Xian's eyes were red in a big circle, as if she had cried for a long time before.

I don't have to think about it for a long time, and I understand in my heart that Concubine Xian is sad because of the fact that the ninth prince wants to go to make peace.

At this moment, Xu Jiu'an suddenly felt a little ashamed in his heart.

After all, the emperor was originally going to prevent the ninth princess from making peace, but to use force to solve the problem, but all this persuaded himself.

Although he was a little unbearable, he did not regret it, for the sake of the lives and safety of the people of the whole country, Xu Jiuan had to say so.

couldn't bear to tell Concubine Xian such a fact, Xu Jiuan opened his mouth to comfort Concubine Xian and said: "Concubine Xian doesn't have to be excessive, the emperor will give the most reasonable way to this matter." ”

Speaking of which, Jiu'an didn't continue to talk about it.

"What kind of method is that?" Concubine Xian asked Xu Jiu'an.

Xu Jiu'an avoided Concubine Xian's gaze, shook his head and said: "As for what it is, the emperor didn't say it, and we courtiers naturally don't want to ask too much." ”

"Okay." Hearing such a result, Concubine Xian was a little discouraged.

After worrying about it all day, Concubine Xian felt a little headache.

Concubine Xian rubbed her temples, closed her eyes and said to Xu Jiu'an and Pei Yuetong: "I'm a little tired, you guys go down first." ”

"Yes." After saluting, Xu Jiuan and Pei Yuetong left.

On the way home, Pei Yuetong looked at Xu Jiuan with a preoccupied look, and felt that something was not right.

Pei Yuetong asked Xu Jiu'an, "What are you thinking?" Did you cheat on Concubine Xian just now? In fact, you already know what the emperor is going to do? ”

Hearing Pei Yuetong ask himself this, he looked at Pei Yuetong for a long time and was silent for a long time.

Xu Jiuan knew that Pei Yuetong and the Ninth Princess had a good relationship, and was reluctant to tell Pei Yuetong about it, but Xu Jiuan was even more reluctant to deceive Pei Yuetong.

After thinking for a while, Xu Jiuan replied truthfully: "Yes." ”

Xu Jiu'an continued: "If nothing happens, the emperor will agree to the envoy's request and let the ninth princess go and kiss." ”

Although he had already guessed this result, Pei Yuetong still felt very sad.

"Why?" Pei Yuetong asked Xu Jiu'an, "Doesn't the emperor like the Ninth Princess very much?" How could he bear to let the ninth princess marry so far away? I knew that once the ninth princess got married, she would not be able to come back in this life, and the ninth princess might not be treated by them over there. ”

The more he said this, the more Pei Yuetong felt sad and sad, and at the same time complained a little about the emperor.
