Chapter 372: Compromise

Jiang Heng didn't seem to be surprised at all to hear such a question from Emperor Jingwen's mouth, and immediately said: "Holy Lord, if it is usual, since it is the Xiyi people who take the initiative to sue for peace, even if you refuse to make peace, it will not have much impact, but this time it ......."

Speaking of this, Jiang Heng pursed his lips, obviously a little embarrassed.

As soon as Emperor Jingwen saw Jiang Heng like this, he immediately knew that there was something hidden in this matter, and asked, "Jiang Aiqing, how is it this time?" ”

Jiang Heng thought about it carefully: "Back to the Holy Lord, according to the news obtained by the minister, the reason why Xiyi took the initiative to sue for peace this time is not only because Xiyi can no longer afford to delay it after twenty years, but also has another extremely important reason. ”

Emperor Jingwen quietly waited for Jiang Heng's next words.

"Xiyi people believe in shamans, if there is a major event has always had the habit of asking the shaman for good luck, before this decision to sue for peace, the khan of Xiyi had consulted the great shaman of the royal family on this matter, and the instructions of the great shaman there are that if you can achieve peace at the same time this time, it will be the greatest auspicious omen, if not...... Jiang Heng paused, "According to the trust of the Xiyi people in the great shaman, if the matter of peace cannot be negotiated, the minister is only afraid, and the matter of peace will be reborn......

Emperor Jingwen frowned tightly.

The matter of negotiating peace is not only extremely important to Xiyi, but also extremely important to Jing Dynasty.

The Xiyi people can't afford to drag on for more than 20 years, and the same is true of Jing Chao, and even the pressure on Jing Chao is even greater.

Over the years, because of the existence of Jiang Heng, although the Jing Dynasty has an advantage in the war at the border pass, and even firmly blocked the Xiyi people from the border, and did not let any Xiyi people step into the range of the Jing Dynasty for half a step, but the Xiyi people are like hungry wolves, and they have been biting Jing Chao tightly for more than 20 years.

And this battle, like the mouth of a giant beast, is constantly devouring the silver in the treasury of the Jing Dynasty, if it weren't for the fact that the Jing Dynasty has a powerful Hubu Shangshu, I am afraid that the silver in the treasury would have been filled in the war at the border gates.

Even so, the silver in the treasury is pitifully small now, and what Emperor Jing Wen hopes most over the years is that all parts of the Jing Dynasty can be smooth and rainy, and no major disasters will occur.

The reason why there is such a wish is that Emperor Jingwen, as the king of a country, naturally hopes that his country can be stable for a long time, but another important reason is that there is not enough silver in the treasury to deal with a big disaster.

Fortunately, I don't know if Emperor Jingwen's prayer has worked, although there have been small disasters in the Jing Dynasty over the years, but major natural disasters have never happened, so that the treasury has been held up until now.

If the war continues......

Emperor Jingwen was afraid that he would have to figure out where to find silver to fill the hole.

At this time, Xiyi took the initiative to sue for peace, which was undoubtedly great news for Emperor Jingwen and the entire Jing Dynasty.

Friendly ......

This is indeed not what Emperor Jingwen wants.

It's okay if the princess sent by Xiyi is peaceful, and the harem is not unaffordable, but if that one likes to stir up trouble, with her special identity, I am afraid that she will be able to stir up the harem continuously.

Emperor Jingwen has never been bothered by the harem in the past few decades, is it possible that he is now over half a hundred years old, but he still has to experience such a feeling?

Thinking like this, Emperor Jingwen's brows couldn't help but tighten more and more.

Seeing this, Jiang Heng said: "Shengshang, Xiyi took the initiative to seek peace, which is also a good thing for our dynasty, the two countries have been at war for many years, and the people of Jing Dynasty have been worried about this for many years. ”

Although Jiang Heng did not explicitly persuade Emperor Jingwen to accept the matter of harmony, this is clearly what he meant in his words.

When Emperor Jingwen heard this, his heart couldn't help but move slightly.

As an emperor, there is no doubt about it, after all, this great river and mountain, this supreme power, although it is in his hands, how can he not doubt that others will try their best to snatch all this over?

It is precisely because of this that the Ping Wangfu has been as low-key as it has been for many years.

Over the years, because the merits made at the border pass are really impossible to ignore, Jiang Heng has become the current Zhenguo Duke step by step from the general of Zhenguo, and it has almost reached the point of being rewarded, to say that Emperor Jingwen has no fear of Jiang Heng in his heart, of course it is impossible.

However, even if he was jealous in his heart, Emperor Jing Wen knew that Jiang Heng was still needed at the border pass, and Jing Chao also needed Jiang Heng, so he had always suppressed this jealousy in his heart and never showed half a point.

Emperor Jingwen knew that he was suspicious, but as an emperor, if he didn't even have this jealousy for a powerful minister like Jiang Heng who held military power in his hands, how could he firmly suppress the courtiers below for so many years?

He originally thought that Jiang Heng should know that if the war at the border subsided, he was afraid that he, the prince of Zhenguo, would no longer be as beautiful as he is now, and even Emperor Jingwen thought that even if the two countries had the opportunity to negotiate peace, he was afraid that Jiang Heng would also get in the way and stir up the possibility of peace at all.

But I don't want to......

The first to persuade him was Jiang Heng.

Is he really too suspicious, and he actually suspects such a courtier who serves the country and the people, or is it because Jiang Heng hides his thoughts too deeply?

Emperor Jingwen paused slightly, and then said, "Jiang Aiqing, I will consider this matter carefully." ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Jingwen couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

said that he would consider it, but in fact, as early as when he said this, he already had the answer in his heart.

If it is just one more beauty in the harem, the war between the two countries can be completely calmed down, even if it is conceivable that there will be some trouble in the future, but Emperor Jingwen will definitely agree.

After all, having been an emperor for decades, Emperor Jingwen already knew that even as a king, it was impossible to really do what he wanted, and he still needed to make some compromises for many things.

For example, the matter of kinship.

Thinking like this, Emperor Jing Wen was inevitably a little bored in his heart.

He waved his hand towards Jiang Heng, "Jiang Aiqing, the matter of placing Xiyi to envoy will be handed over to you." ”

"Holy ......" Jiang Heng still wanted to speak.

The matter of receiving envoys from other countries should have been taken over by Honglu Temple, if he, the prince of the town and country, took over this errand, wouldn't he be robbing people's jobs?

The people of Honglu Temple may not be able to play any role all year round, and now it is not easy for the Xiyi people to take the initiative to send a mission to sue for peace, and it is time for them to show their talents, but Jiang Heng has taken the lead, isn't this a plain hate?
