The snow continued for several days and did not stop until this morning. The streets and alleys in the city opened their doors to clear the snow, and the shouts of businessmen sounded on the streets again, and soon the cloud city returned to its former prosperous scene.

A young man in his early twenties was wandering around the East Street, followed by a servant-like attendant.

"Hey, this East Market is getting more and more boring."

Standing in front of a jewelry stall, the young man casually played with the gold and silver ornaments in his hand for a while, shook his head and sighed.

"Shizi, let's... Let's go back, you still have the homework that Grandpa Guo handed you today..."

The servant behind the young man hurriedly stepped forward and whispered a few words.

"What are you afraid of!" He threw down the string of bracelets in his hand, turned back to the servant and said, "With Brother Ren helping me, I don't have to pay attention to those at all!" ”

"Those things are a piece of cake for Brother Ren."

"But... The young man was bold, but the servant was not afraid of anything, "Commander Ren can't help you block it again and again!" Once found out by Grandpa Guo, both of you will be finished! And me, I'm done too..."

"Hey, I said Xiao Shunzi, why are you so timid? If you're afraid, go back by yourself, don't follow me! ”

The young man rolled his eyes and walked forward on his own.

"Hey, hey, the prince is waiting for me!"

Xiao Shunzi was hesitating, and wanted to persuade again, but when he saw that the young man left in ignorance, his face was anxious, and he chased forward with his legs.

I saw that the young man had walked a short way forward, and then he stopped to watch.

"Shizi, what's wrong?"

Xiao Shunzi finally caught up, and when she saw the young man's expression, she couldn't help but wonder.

The young man did not answer, nor did he need to answer, but saw a brief confusion in the street, and the merchants and pedestrians consciously stood on both sides of the street to give way.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Shunzi saw several war horses galloping through the middle of the street, and the people on the horses held a dark yellow flag, on which a five-clawed black dragon was painted.

"It's... Tenglong Banner..."The young man's frowning eyebrows were stretched out after a long reaction, he grabbed the back of his head casually, and muttered, "What are the people from Xiliang doing when they come to my Great Cloud Emperor?" Could it be a sum? ”

Who knew that the young man's casual speculation was really hit by him. In the imperial study, Emperor Yun smiled coldly after reading the national letter presented by Liang Envoy, "The Liang people have always been cunning and capricious, and at this time, they will actually ask me for peace with Dayun." ”

"That's because they were completely scared by His Majesty's royal master, and they really had no choice but to negotiate peace."

The old eunuch who bent over and stood beside Emperor Yun shook his head and smiled, his whole old face was like a blooming chrysanthemum.

Then the little eunuch behind the old eunuch took a golden silk quilt in his hand, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this day is getting colder and colder, and the virtuous concubine is afraid that you will catch a cold, so she spent two months sewing this golden silk quilt for Your Majesty, and now the special old slave is now offering it." ”

Emperor Yun took the golden silk quilt, and an indescribable soft texture was passed from his hand.

"Concubine Xian has a heart."

Emperor Yun chuckled, and then put the golden silk quilt on his lap.

"Nowadays, Beidi is getting stronger and stronger, especially the Yan Kingdom, and its strength cannot be underestimated. Although Yan Shizi is in Beijing as a hostage, I, Dayun, still have to readjust the northern defense line in case of contingencies. ”

"At this time, it is indeed not appropriate to continue to fight with Xiliang, otherwise once Xiliang and Beidi join forces, then my Dayun will be too passive."

Emperor Yun's self-talk was all taken into the ears of the old eunuch, "Beiyan is a neighbor of my big cloud, not to mention that with the strength of my big cloud, there is no need to worry too much." ”

"However, Your Majesty remembers the virtue of heaven and good life, and does not want to kill again, and it is also the luck of all the people to make peace with Xiliang!"

"Hmph," Emperor Yun snorted lightly and glanced at the smiling old eunuch, "You can speak." ”

Emperor Yun's words changed, and then he thought for a while, "It's okay to make peace with Xiliang, after all, I, Dayun, took advantage of this battle." But as mentioned in the book of the Western Liang Kingdom, I want to marry a county lord and enter my big cloud, what do you think of this matter? ”

"Uh..."

"Since ancient times, the two countries have been friendly, and marriage is the most common means, I don't know Your Majesty... What are your concerns? ”

"Marriage is naturally no problem." Emperor Yun waved his hand, signaling that his focus was not here, "What I think is that among the several princes of the right age, King Jin, King Jing and King Huai'an all already have a main house, and even King Su married the daughter of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites a year ago. Now it seems that the only thing left is King Qin..."

"In the final analysis, marriage is just a tool for the interests of the two countries to be connected, and the county lord married by Liang must not have too high a status in his country. I'm worried, if the lord of Liang Guo is the princess of Lan'er, will I be a little wronged by him? ”

Emperor Yun favored the King of Qin and the King of Jin, and this matter is known to the world. He had wanted to choose a wishful marriage for King Qin many times, but he put it on hold for various reasons.

If in the end, Princess Qin is the lord of Xiliang, don't talk about Emperor Yun, even the princess of Qin may not be able to accept it.

The old eunuch has served by Emperor Yun's side for more than 30 years, and he deeply understands the character and mind of His Majesty in front of him.

The marriage between the two countries is a major event, and the marriage of King Qin is also not small, so you need to make a reasonable choice at this time.

The old eunuch's eyes rolled slightly, and after a little silence, he said: "Your Majesty, forgive the old slave for being stupid, His Royal Highness the King of Qin is my Prince of Dayun, Your Majesty's beloved son, and his identity is extraordinary." With the lord of Liang as the concubine of King Qin, I don't know why not? ”

"Huh?" Emperor Yun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then suddenly glanced at the old eunuch beside him with a smile, "There is some truth in your words." ”

Originally, according to the etiquette system, marriage with other countries, regardless of whether the foreign county lord married into the royal family or the side branch of the clan, it needed to be the main family. But everyone also knows that marriages are generally given to idle children whose status is not very important, and since the founding of Dayun, there has never been such a thing as marrying a core prince.

King Qin has a special status and a high position, if the county lord of Liang State is his side concubine, no one will say much about it.

Thinking about this, Emperor Yun shouted to the palace, "Someone." ”

"What does Your Majesty command?"

"You..."Emperor Yun paused, didn't know what he thought, and then gave up, "It's okay, go down." ”

After sending away the inner eunuch, Emperor Yun turned to the old eunuch beside him, "You personally go to the Qin Palace's palace to deliver the decree..."

"Wait, go to the Changchun Palace before passing the decree, and you need to ask Concubine Xian about this matter."

"The old slave commands."

Just as Emperor Yun was worried about the marriage between the two countries, an undercurrent quietly set off in the Jin Palace.

Today, the door of the pavilion in the back garden of the Jin King's Mansion is closed, and there are two men and one woman in the pavilion in addition to the King of Jin.

One of the men, dressed in coarse linen clothes, fell to his knees with a terrified expression.

"Is what you said true?"

At this time, the king of Jin frowned and paced back and forth in the room, obviously surprised by the man's words.

"Back... Back to His Royal Highness, what the villain said is true, please ask Your Highness to help! ”
