The man smiled and said, "The Sixth Emperor Brother really has a good memory, and he still remembers me." ”

King An Nangong Jinzhan, the son of Concubine Qing, his grandfather is the only king of the opposite sex in Yun Kingdom, King Nanyang, and he is the only prince who can compete with the prince for the crown prince.

Nangong Yue Peng reprimanded on the surface, but in fact connived, so Nangong Jinzhan was even more unscrupulous, but although it was ridiculous, he had not done anything illegal, so his reputation in the court was neither good nor bad, and some people even gave him the title of "Merry Prince", Nangong Jinzhan didn't care, and accepted it with a smile.

And although Nangong Jinchen has been far away in Chu for many years, he is very clear about the affairs of the Yun Kingdom, and he naturally understands this merry prince, but he doesn't believe it in his heart, in his opinion, Nangong Jinzhan's approach is just to eliminate Nangong Yue Peng's vigilance.

"The five emperor brothers praise falsely, and Chen is just guessing."

Now the prince who can stand in the court, except for the crown prince, is this King An, how can Nangong Jinchen not know who he is?

"Haha, that's just the truth. I think the Sixth Emperor Brother won't leave again when he comes back this time, right? Nangong Jinzhan said.

Nangong Jinchen nodded.

Nangong Jinzhan said with envy on his face: "To be honest, this king is really envious of you being able to travel to the great rivers and mountains, alas, in fact, this king has also thought about going out, how good it is to be free and easy outside, but the mother concubine is not allowed." Presumably, the Sixth Emperor Brother has seen a lot of strange things when he travels, I wonder if I can tell you about it? ”

Hearing this, Nangong Jinchen said lightly: "Brother Five Emperors laughed, where is there anything strange in this world?" ”

Nangong Jinzhan had disbelief written all over his face, and said in disappointment: "Is the Sixth Emperor Brother unwilling to share it with us?" ”

Before Nangong Jinchen could reply to him, he saw Nangong Jinheng, who was wearing a prince's python robe, walk in, and everyone stopped discussing and saluted him.

Nangong Jinheng glanced at Nangong Jinchen, who was speechless, with complicated eyes, and then walked to his position and stood up.

On that day, he was so straightforward like his father said that he wanted his life to exchange what his father wanted, although his father strongly objected, but he clearly saw the vacillation in his father's eyes, what is the important thing that makes his father feel more important than his only son-in-law?

Nangong Jinheng was full of suspicions, and after he returned to the palace, he sent someone to investigate, but there was no news so far, which made him more and more uneasy.

Now his foundation in the court is still shallow, and he still needs the support of his father, if even his father gives up on him, then it will be difficult for him to gain a firm foothold in the court.

"Your Majesty has arrived."

Nangong Yue Peng slowly walked to the dragon chair and sat down surrounded by palace people.

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live." All the ministers knelt down to worship, but Nangong Jinchen stood there alone, like a lonely cypress standing proudly in the mountains, cold and arrogant.

The person in front of him is not worthy of his kneeling at all.

In the past few days, Nangong Yue Peng has also been accustomed to his cold and arrogant attitude, although he hates it so much, he is helpless against him.

But above the court, he is so faceless, is he announcing to the world that he Nangong Jinchen is not convinced by him as the emperor?

Nangong Yue Peng's eyes were so red that he almost wanted to spurt blood, and that look seemed to be about to eat Nangong Jinchen who was standing there.

Sun Huaien, the eunuch standing next to Nangong Yue Peng, also gasped, although he had also seen the unruliness of the six princes in the past few days, he was really the first in history who dared not to kneel in the court.

The ministers naturally felt Nangong Yue Peng's anger, even they were so frightened by Nangong Jinchen that they prostrate on the ground and didn't dare to move, this sixth prince who had just returned to the palace, how dare he not take His Majesty in his eyes like this? It's bold.

Nangong Jinzhan secretly glanced at Nangong Jinchen, his eyes were full of disbelief, where did these six emperor brothers have the courage to dare to face their father like this?

Jin Zhuang also muttered in his heart, did these six princes want to usurp the throne?

They thought that Nangong Yue Peng would be angry, but who knew that Nangong Yue Peng endured his anger and gritted his teeth and said, "Zhongqing, calm down." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The ministers wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads and stood up.

Nangong Jinheng looked at Nangong Jinchen in astonishment, when he was in Chu State before, he had never seen him so rebellious, it seemed that he really hated his father.

"If there is something to start, there is nothing to retreat!" Sun Huaien preached loudly as usual.

Peng Qi, the secretary of the ministry, said: "Your Majesty, since His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince has returned to the palace, he should be crowned the king and build a mansion according to the rules." ”

As soon as these words came out, Nangong Yue Peng was stunned, crowned king? He can't wait to kill Nangong Jinchen now.

And this official is still a scholar, he never forms a gang on weekdays, and he is even more comfortable as an official, and now Nangong Jinchen has just come back to speak for him, is he actually Nangong Jinchen's person?

He restrained his emotions and said, "Aiqing is right, Jinchen is already twenty-two, and it is time to be crowned king." Spread my will, canonize the sixth prince Nangong Jinchen as King Ling, and give him the residence of King Ling's mansion. ”

Nangong Jinchen stepped forward and arched his hand: "Thank you, father." ”

It's just that the waist is straight, the king? He wants his throne!

"Congratulations to His Royal Highness King Ling." The ministers congratulated one after another.

Suddenly, a small soldier rushed into the hall with a letter in his hand, knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor of Chu has sent someone to send a letter of state, please take a look at it." ”

"Bring it in."

Sun Huaien walked down, took the letter from Xiao Bing's hand, and respectfully presented it to Nangong Yue Peng.

Nangong Yue Peng opened the letter in front of everyone.

After a while, he spoke: "Emperor Chu intends to seek peace, what do you think?" ”

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other and begged for peace?

Immediately, Jin Zhuang expressed his opinion: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this battle has been stalemate for a long time, and it is not beneficial for Yu Yunguo, since Chu State intends to seek peace, then it is not impossible to agree." ”

Jin Zhuang originally disagreed with this war, and he also strongly admonished Nangong Yue Peng, but Nangong Yue Peng insisted on going his own way and insisted on starting a war.

Although this war is also considered a victory in Yunguo, it is empty inside, and I don't think it will take a few years, and I am afraid that it will not be able to recover. Jin Zhuang sighed in his heart.

Nangong Jinheng also said: "Father, the son also thinks that the prime minister's words are reasonable, not to mention that we have taken the five cities of Chu State, and this battle will not be lost." ”

"Does anyone else disagree?" Nangong Yue Peng asked.

A few more people came out and said, "The minister also thinks that it is okay to make peace." ”

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

For a time, almost all the ministers agreed with Jin Zhuang's opinion.

Only Nangong Jinchen still didn't say a word, like a transparent person.

While listening to the opinions of these ministers, Nangong Yue Peng was also thinking about whether the current situation should be peaceful.

Since the spy of Ye Zichen was excepted, the state of Chu has indeed not lost as much as before, but after fighting for so long, the state of Chu has also suffered a great injury, and now the two sides are still deadlocked in Anyang.

And because the Chu State had suffered a locust plague before, the harvest was very small, although Mu Xuanche had come up with a countermeasure before, but it could only deal with the non-wartime situation.

Now that there is a war, the demand for food is naturally more, and now that the Chu army is trapped in Anyang and lacks food, if it continues like this, I am afraid that it will starve to death inside.

Mu Xuanche originally wanted to borrow grain from Yanguo by virtue of his in-law relationship, but who knew that Ye Xun didn't give face at all and directly asked him to exchange the city for it, how could Mu Xuanche do this? So he had no choice but to repair the book and make peace with Nangong Yue Peng.

And the situation on the Yun country's side is actually not much better, in order to attack the Chu country, Nangong Yue Peng almost exhausted all the strength of the Yun country, others don't know, but he knows that in order to make weapons, he spent almost all the silver deposits in the treasury, and almost all the middle-aged men in the Yun country were pulled to the battlefield.

And he also knew that if this war continued, Yun Guo would not necessarily win, and besides, Yun Guo was now empty inside, if Yan Guo took advantage of the weakness, it would be worth the loss.

After a while, Nangong Yue Peng spoke: "Since this is the case, then let's make peace." ”

At this time, Taifu Xie said humbly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is time to reconcile. It's just that the state of Chu first sued for peace, and if we agreed without mentioning any conditions, wouldn't it be cheaper for them? ”

Nangong Yue Peng's eyes lit up, and he said approvingly: "Taifu's words are very reasonable, I don't know what Taifu thinks?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that he can let Chu send a princess to make peace." Xie Qian said.

The ministers are all whispering, and that's a good idea. It can not only win over the relationship between the two countries, but also earn face for Yunguo.

Nangong Yue Peng frowned: "Send the princess and relatives?" ”

"Father, the emperor and his sons also think this is a very good idea." Nangong Jinheng immediately said, "Erchen doesn't have a concubine yet, so it's just right for Erchen to marry the princess of Chu State." ”

The ministers also nodded approvingly, it is indeed most appropriate for the prince to marry the princess of Chu State.

Nangong Yue Peng was a little surprised in his heart, he also said that he wanted to give Nangong Jin Hengli the crown princess, but he refused, and in desperation, he had to let him accept a few beautiful beauties first.

And now, he actually offered to marry the princess of Chu State, what did he want?

"Prince, why do you want to marry the princess of Chu?" Nangong Yue Peng asked.

"Back to my father, the son-in-law is for the sake of Yunguo, the princess of Chu and the pro-Yunguo, it should be the most suitable to marry the son-in-law." Nangong Jinheng explained.

He has long wanted to find a chance to marry Yue'er, but because the two countries are at war, there is no good time, and now that someone has proposed peace, why don't he take this opportunity to marry Yue'er?

Now, in addition to the daughter of the clan, there is only Yue'er in the Chu State who can be a princess who can be married.

Thinking of this, he turned his head to look at Nangong Jinchen again, wanting to see a change in expression on his face, but he was disappointed after all.

Could it be that Nangong Jinchen really doesn't have any feelings for Yue'er? The affection he saw from his face before was just his disguise? If this is the case, then Nangong Jinchen is really a man who is too terrible.

"In that case, let's do it." Nangong Yue Peng thought for a while.

Nangong Jinchen finally raised his eyes and said lightly: "Father, do you know how many princesses of the right age are there in the Chu Kingdom?" ”
