Chapter 101: The Inside Story of the Peace Talks
Huzi knew that his prince was angry, and he didn't dare to ask more, so he took a broom and a dustpan, cleaned the ground, and then ordered someone to re-put on the charcoal basin, and made a pot of weak tea for the owl with his own hands.
Seeing that Xiao Xiao's face was a little pale, Hu Zi asked the question in his heart, "How could the saint be good and think of peace talks?" We have always had the upper hand in the war, and it should be Dayan who wants to seek peace, why should we bring this matter up first? ”
He sat down on the circle chair, and the corners of his lips curled into a mocking arc, "Isn't that very clear." ”
Huzi scratched his head, "Master, I don't understand. ”
"We have been fighting with Northern Hebei for many years, and after the victory, we took over the devastated mess, and then we started a war with Dayan, and the northern Tatars have also been disturbing the border burning, killing and looting, Ji Zeyu's defenders in the north also want people to eat horses, how many silver taels do you have in our treasury?"
"But, but our Great Zhou soldiers are strong and strong......"
"No matter how strong a soldier is, no matter how strong a horse is, he must have enough food to have the strength to fight. After the Holy Lord ascended the throne, he immediately declared war on Dayan, was it just to dominate the world? ”
Huzi blinked his big eyes, and it took a long time for him to let out a long "oh".
"I see! The saint has taken a fancy to the rich land of Dayan, and they are soft persimmons, so they want to feed the war with war. ”
Xiao Xiao poured himself a cup of tea and sipped it slowly.
Huzi turned around on the ground a few times, patted his head and said, "This time the saint doesn't really want to negotiate peace at all, right?" I'm afraid that the silver on the front line is not enough, so I lied about peace talks for the time being, and coaxed out a sum of money first, so that I could continue to fight the soft persimmons in the Yan Dynasty? ”
Xiao Xiao nodded, staring at the white porcelain teacup in his hand, his eyes were unfathomable.
"Tsk, that's interesting. The group of pus bags in the Yan Dynasty can't wait to make peace with us, I'm afraid that this time they came with 120,000 sincerity, otherwise Old Dog Wei Chi would not let Qin Huaiyuan sacrifice Miss Qin Si. If they come down to peace talks and find out that they have been deceived, won't it arouse their people's anger? ”
"The anger of the people of the Yan Dynasty has long been aroused." The slender and calloused powerful fingers turned the teacup at once, "The old dog of Yu Chi spoiled the demon queen and brutalized Zhongliang, whether it was the death of the Tang Imperial Doctor, or the death of Sun Yuanming, or the full door of the Dingguo Mansion, one by one, all the people of Dayan saw were how the faint monarch was mediocre, greedy for life and afraid of death, regardless of the life and death of the people and soldiers, whenever he faced danger, the faint monarch pushed his subjects out to block the knife for himself, and after repeatedly, the soldiers and people of Dayan had already been disappointed in the faint monarch. And this is exactly what our saints want. ”
Huzi said clearly: "That's why the saint said that he wanted Sun Yuanming's brain, in order to make the Yan Dynasty people angry and hate the faint monarch even more?" ”
"Yes."
In this way, Huzi understands better.
This time the peace talks not only wanted to get money and use Dayan's silver to fight Dayan, but also to use Qin Huaiyuan's good reputation to once again arouse the dissatisfaction of Dayan's soldiers and people against the faint monarch.
Last time, in order to curry favor with Da Zhou, the faint monarch and the demon queen asked for Sun Dacaizi's brain.
This time, he didn't even want to face at all, and the big man wanted to hide under the woman's skirt and push a beautiful girl out.
Even if the old dog of Wei Chi is at ease, the slightly bloody man of the Dayan Dynasty will only feel humiliation and anger.
After all, Da Zhou had just killed 20,000 of Dayan's captives! There are more than 20,000 good men who can never go home again!
20,000 people, with parents, relatives, and friends.
The revenge of killing is as deep as the sea, and the faint monarch does not support them for revenge, but kills the men of the Dingguo Mansion to curry favor with Da Zhou, and now he has to sacrifice all the daughters of Qin Taishi!
In this way, if Dayan wants to work together, I am afraid it will be even more difficult.
Huzi had to give a thumbs up to Emperor Zhou's shrewdness.
"What a genius the Holy One! But what are you going to do this time? Last time, you didn't agree to slaughter the city, and the saint ordered someone to kill Dayan's captives in a blink of an eye, and still achieved the purpose of scaring Wei Chi Laogou, and also took your generalissimo position by the way, if you stop it again this time, I am afraid that the saint will be even more angry. It's not sure what will happen then, your Tiger Army is fighting too fiercely, and it only obeys you, which has already made people fearful. ”
"No matter what, Qin Si can only be mine." He put down his teacup and said firmly.
"I'll just say that the master must like Miss Qin Si!"
Xiao Xiao sneered: "Who said I like her?" ”
"Huh?" Huzi opened his mouth wide in surprise.
"The master kept her by his side and looked at her as a painting, can't he?"
Huzi lowered his head and pouted secretly: "Okay, whatever the master says." ”
Xiao Xiao's slender index finger tapped on the table, and after a while, he said: "Since I was injured in order to save her, she only sent her maidservant to see me, and she didn't even look at me, this is also the attitude towards the life-saving benefactor?" You Ming'er will tell Bingtang to tell her young lady that if Qin Si refuses to come to see me, I will go to see her. ”
With that, he stood up and walked to the inner room.
Huzi pouted again.
Do you say you don't like people? I don't look at what I have become.
The people who used to be unapologetic to women are now actually rolling around and forcing other girls to come and see themselves!
If the old lady and the lady know about this, they will have to keep their mouths crooked.
Amitabha, finally their precious son (grandson) doesn't have the quirk of breaking the peach sleeve!

At this time, in the city of Kyoto, Da Zhou took the initiative to sue for peace, and the emperor arranged for Qin Taishi to preside over the peace talks, and the news that Qin Taishi was ordered to sacrifice his concubine had caused a storm in the city.
I don't know who preached it, everyone is spreading: Shang Shulian of the Great Zhou Military Department is a womanizer, and he has a quirk of abuse, and I don't know how many flower-like girls have been tortured and killed.
This news was spread in several versions in the blink of an eye, and the more it was spread, the more terrifying the content became, so that many women and people with daughters at home pinched a cold sweat for Taishi Qin's daughter when they heard it.
The soldiers, civilians, sons and courtiers with a little conscience in the army were already mourning the misfortune of the Dingguo Gong who had been fighting all his life. Now I heard again that the granddaughter of Dingguo Gong was going to be given to an old pervert to play with, not only was her chastity difficult to protect, but her life was even more worrying, and everyone was angry!
Many teahouses and liquor shops had people secretly talk about this matter, cursing the faint king, forcing the emperor to send people from the yamen to inspect the streets, everywhere to catch the rebellious ministers and thieves who dared to say the emperor's right and wrong, for a while, the entire city of Kyoto was filled with a tense atmosphere.
In the Qin Mansion, Qin Yining naturally got the news.
She is not like Sun, who fainted in fright when she heard this, nor like Bingtang and Songlan, whose eyes were swollen when they cried.
She was calm and calm, and she could even get a good night's sleep.
Early the next morning, as soon as Qin Yining got up, he heard a maidservant girl outside reply: "Fourth girl, the people around the eldest master are waiting outside before dawn, saying that it is the master's order, please go to the outer courtyard for breakfast together." ”
