Chapter 84: Launched

Yan Yan didn't think about it so much, she gained a lot from this trip to the palace, not only two plaques, but also two packs of top blood swallows and a bunch of clothes sent by the queen, plus a few white porcelain ornaments from the official kiln sent by the queen mother, but what moved her the most was that the prince actually gave her a phoenix crown, saying that it was in the name of her brother.

The phoenix crown and the white porcelain ornament Yan Yan put it away by himself, and the blood swallow and the clothing Yan Yan divided half of it to Ma Shi and Yan Yu Yan Tong.

I don't know why, such a big happy event, even Yan Peng almost jumped up with Yan Yan after hearing about it, but Yan Yan saw a touch of melancholy on the faces of Ma and Yan Yu.

As a result, Yan Yan faintly had an answer in his heart, most of the resignation was really caused by the conspiracy of the Ma family Yan Yu and the Lu family, and now seeing that Yan Yan is becoming more and more famous, even the emperor and the prince treat her differently, so the Ma family is worried that the Lu family will regret coming to such a show.

Of course, this is just Yan Yan's conjecture.

It's not that she didn't want to go over to find the maid and mother-in-law to inquire about the events of that day, but those mothers-in-law are selling and selling, where can Yan Yan find someone?

Moreover, although this is Yan's house, it is not Yan Yan's home, and the Ma family is the hostess of this family, so Yan Yan doesn't want to alarm the Ma family, in the absence of conclusive evidence, she doesn't want to make a storm in the city, after all, the original owner still has a lot of feelings for this family, not for Ma, for Yan Peng, for Yan Tong and Yan Zhang.

For this reason, Yan Yan quickly put aside this speculation.

Who knew that the next afternoon, when Yan Yan was going to the room to check the dowry list with Ma, Yan Peng brought back a piece of good news, saying that the emperor praised her in front of the civil and military officials at the morning meeting.

The reason is that the court meeting on this day talked about the marriage between the Western Xia and the Liao State, and some people at the meeting also put forward a point of view, the Great Zhou can also marry the Jin people or the Mongols, so that the Liao State and the Western Xia are sandwiched in the middle must also be difficult to sleep, maybe the Great Zhou can also take this opportunity to join forces with the Jin people to destroy the Liao State.

This point of view was put forward by Lu Duan, and at the same time it was echoed by Wu Qi, the protector of the country, and Song Ye, the marquis of Zhenbei, plus Xu Liangxing, the left minister of Menxia Province, and other officials with lower ranks.

However, this view was unanimously opposed by Wang Shixiu, the right minister of Zhongshu Province, and Wen Wenshan, the left minister of Shangshu Province.

The views of these two people are similar to Yan Yan's, and it is not recommended to join forces with the Jin people, not that they know the history in advance, but that the treasury is empty, and it is really not enough to support this war, which is one of them; Second, along with the war, it will inevitably be these noble families who will be reused, and the little status that they can easily have as literati should be shaken; Third, whether this war is won or lost, it is not good for the Great Zhou, because if it wins, it means that the Liao State is destroyed, but who can ensure that the Jin people will not go south after the Liao State is destroyed? And if you lose, it is even worse, the typical loss of the wife and the loss of soldiers, a waste of manpower, material and financial resources, maybe it will give the opponent a chance to take advantage of it, rather than so, it is better to keep the Liao State and maintain the current status quo of small fights.

When Li Cong heard what the left and right prime ministers said, a large part of them matched Yan Yan, and he was both surprised and delighted, you must know that the left and right prime ministers have achieved this high position after decades of officialdom baptism, and their knowledge and experience are many times stronger than Yan Yan, a young girl who doesn't go out, but Yan Yan actually stood at the same height as them when he saw the problem, which was really rare.

"Actually, I also heard a person yesterday persuade me to keep the Liao State and the Western Xia, saying that the marriage between the Liao State and the Western Xia State will not pose a threat to my Great Zhou, and they have to join forces in order to fight against the Mongols and the Jin, I only felt that her words were very naïve and ridiculous at first, but after careful analysis, there was some truth, she said that the Liao State and us have coexisted peacefully for decades, if there is a different heart, it should have been sent to the Tang Dynasty when Emperor Taizu went south to clean up."

"Back to the emperor, the ministers dare not agree with this point of view, there was no ambition in the Liao State at that time, it does not mean that there will be no one in a few decades, because the current emperor of the Liao State has changed." Rikuduan stepped forward.

"Yes, Your Majesty, what if the Liao Kingdom and the Jin people join forces to deal with our Great Zhou?" Zhenbei Hou Song Ye stood up.

"There is also Mongolia, Mongolia has recently become a hegemon of the steppe, if these small countries in the north join forces, then the northern defense line of my Great Zhou is in danger." Wu Qi, the protector of the country, stood up.

"But what if they don't join forces? What if the Liao State and the Jin people went to war? Yan Peng stood up.

For some reason, he was more convinced of his niece.

"In that case, why don't we wait and see what happens, and wait until the war is clear?" Menno stepped forward.

He didn't know that this point of view was Yan Yan's, but he really didn't approve of Da Zhou standing in line so quickly.

"Everyone, don't be impatient, my words haven't been finished yet, I say this to you today, not to ask for an answer now, but to feel that a fifteen-year-old girl who stays at home has this kind of vision and worry, it's really not simple, it can be seen that talent can't be faked, it's a pity, if it's a man, maybe she will be like her father, and worry about me." Li Cong deliberately pushed Yan Yan out, he just wanted to see Lu Duan's reaction.

"What? A fifteen-year-old girl? Soon there was a buzz in the hall.

Many of them guessed that it was Yan Yan, because they knew that the Queen Mother invited the ladies of the Yan Mansion to a banquet in Cining Palace yesterday, saying that it was for Yan Yan to marry.

There are two fifteen-year-old girls in the Yan Mansion, but the emperor said that it is obviously not Yan Peng who can share his worries, but the dead Yan Rui, that is to say, the little girl in the emperor's mouth is Yan Yan, the eldest lady of the Yan family who came back from the dead.

Lu Duan was indeed taken aback.

In fact, after his wife came to apologize in person and was rejected and asked his wife to admit her mistake in public at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, he felt that this little girl was not simple.

Later, after listening to his wife's recounting of the conversation between the two at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet that day, he regretted it a little.

This family affair was missed by the Lu family, and it was his son who did not have this blessing.

Later events confirmed this, for example, Yan Yan did not accept the gift book, but asked the Queen Mother to take a look, and as a result, the Queen Mother directly pointed out the two most critical Zhuangzi and two shops.

Later, Yan Yan rescued the emperor's eldest grandson Li Xi, and the emperor promised to give her a mansion as a dowry, obviously to support her.

What a good little girl, what a good officialdom to help, but it's a pity that she gave him this concubine, but this concubine is still a useless mute.

Therefore, Lu Duan really regretted that the Lu family had handled this matter too much.

It's a pity that the world didn't know earlier, and he can only blame his son for having no eyes.
