Chapter 1 Peace?

Next Chapter

After a long period of unification, the Kyushu continent was once again fragmented.

Two hundred years ago, the mainland of Kyushu was originally the state of Chu, and later the last emperor of the state of Chu, Emperor Ping, was obsessed with beauty, ignoring the government and politics, and the vassal kings scattered all over the country were already ready to move in their hearts, so they united to kill Emperor Ping and finally established himself as the king.

For example, today it is divided into four major powers, among which there are various small countries that are dependent on large countries. Great Xia is located in the southernmost part of the Kyushu continent in all seasons, and rich, Liang is the smallest country in the four countries, only 100 miles away from Great Xia, bordering on the border, and there are many cities. Among them, the most harmonious is the Southern Qi and Beirong, located in the north, thousands of miles apart, and there is no war all year round.

No one knows what lies behind this peace.

Emperor Yuan of Great Xia is in the prime of life, and his national strength cannot be underestimated, and the Liang Kingdom has had many contradictions with Great Xia in the past three years, but it has never been so tragic as this time.

At this time, the Great Xia Palace, in the early dynasty, the emperor sitting on the dragon chair was not angry and arrogant, the majesty of the emperor made people dare not look directly at the heavens, and the ministers below stood respectfully, and no one spoke.

"Report" A soldier said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, General Murong defeated the Liang army in less than a month, the Liang army was defeated and retreated, Emperor Zhao of the Liang State has written to discuss peace, and the general asks Your Majesty to decide." ”

Emperor Yuan got up happily when he heard the news and said with a smile: "General Murong really deserves to be my first general in Great Xia, and he is really brave and presents the peace documents." ”

The attendant next to Emperor Yuan immediately presented the paperwork, and after Emperor Yuan opened it and read it, he looked up at the official who was whispering to him, and ordered: "Take it to the prime minister and all the adults." ”

Prime Minister Su Qi has always been a special existence, probably the youngest prime minister in the history of Great Xia, now only twenty-four, handsome, really gentle as jade, humble gentleman. In the entire Great Xia, only Jiang Shizi compared. But he has thunderous methods and scheming that do not match his face, which makes the ministers both respectful and awe-inspiring, and also deeply respected by Emperor Yuan.

After the documents were passed on to the ministers one by one, Emperor Yuan glanced at everyone and said, "What do the ministers think of this proposal and documents?"

Yushi took the lead and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it is feasible, although the Liang Kingdom is defeated now, it is one of the four countries after all, and now there are Southern Qi and Beirong eyeing each other, we should not make a big move and hurt our vitality." It's better to negotiate peace and take a good rest. ”

Since ancient times, the military generals of Wenchen have been antagonistic after all, and as soon as the imperial history finished speaking, General Liu Shen standing on the right side was not convinced, and sneered: "Lord Jiang is too heavy, my Great Xia is strong, Your Majesty is wise and martial, and the Weiyuan army led by General Murong is huge, and it is like a bamboo all the way, and my monarch should take advantage of this time to pursue it." ”

Jiang Hengzhi frowned and still disagreed: "Your Majesty, the minister does not agree with what General Liu said, please think twice, Your Majesty!" ”

Emperor Yuan listened quietly from beginning to end without saying a word, and when he saw that they had finished speaking, he looked at the young and handsome young prime minister at the front and how he reacted, and only spoke after a while: "What does the prime minister think?"

"The minister thinks that what Lord Jiang said is reasonable, we don't know the situation between Southern Qi and Beirong now, the best way is to maintain balance, if my Great Xia directly sends troops to attack Liangguo, no matter whether it wins or loses in the end, our army will suffer a huge price. And if Liang is annexed, the balance of the four kingdoms will be broken, and if Southern Qi and Beirong cooperate, our situation will be very dangerous. The voice was every word, knocking on everyone's heart, and immediately woke up most of them. This prime minister looks as warm as jade, but he doesn't leak a drop in his words and deeds, and he is really young and old.

After listening to this, Emperor Yuan also felt reasonable, "What the prime minister said is very true, then inform General Murong that I agree to negotiate peace." ”

All the ministers said: "Your Majesty is sage! ”

Emperor Yuan: "In this case, let's retreat!" ”

The ministers walked out of the Taihe Hall and walked towards the gate of the palace.

After Su Qi sent away those flattering ministers, he walked straight out of the palace. At the same time, a carriage slowly drove towards the city, but because of its simple appearance, it did not attract much attention.
