"Wait." Li Ruiqing said. He waved his hand to signal the guards to step back, "Xiang Zero, sit down." ”

Tsalick, who had just returned to the line, was let go and stood alone in the center of the hall, and the emperor of the southern kingdom, who had been arrogant a moment ago, disappeared again.

She actually sat down obediently and obediently, pouting in displeasure: "What are you doing?" Could it be that the left minister wants to talk to me again? ”

Letan was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

So, is he thinking wrong? Why did the emperor of the southern kingdom listen to the words of the left minister? Reasoning again? Do they often reason with each other?

Li Ruiqing's heart was a little warm. He knew that Zhao Xiangling would not hesitate to toss and create a face for him, so that Letan would always look at him with colored eyes in the future.

She is such a smug person, and one day she will spend so much money for him.

Raising his hand, Li Ruiqing rubbed Zhao Xiang's hair, and his tone was gentle into still water: "You, you." ”

Zhao Xiangling's eyebrows and eyes also softened, but he didn't let go of it: "What's wrong?" Does Lord Zuo have an opinion about me? ”

"I don't dare." Li Ruiqing smiled.

Celadon who was standing on the side was about the most sober and understanding of the people, and he coughed twice to let His Majesty and Zuo Xiang pay attention to the occasion.

Your Majesty, Lord Zuo Xiang, now is really not the time for you two to look at each other!

Li Ruiqing is slightly thinner than Zhao Xiangling. He turned his head back to his senses, looked at the still stunned Tsalik, and said, "Do you have anything to say to your brother?" ”

Standing in the court, Charik looked very young, not as old as Zhao Xiangling, wearing a dark blue robe, revealing the white heavy clothes inside.

His brown eyes seemed to be soaked in a pool, wet, and innocent and lively.

Turning his head, Chakri said to Letan: "Brother, I'm fine here, you don't have to worry." ”

Letan would love to pull his ear and ask, what is his brain made of? Didn't he see the knife in the guard's hand just now?

His brain almost fell apart from his neck!

Letan raised his eyebrows: "I'll take you back." Don't be petty. ”

"Brother, I won't go back, I won't grab the throne with you, I'm here, and the left is good for me." Charik patted his chest and said proudly, "Prime Minister Zuo said that I have brains and have not disgraced our country." ”

Letan supports. Brother, do you think that if you say this, it will be enough to disgrace our country? How can we have such a stupid brother as you?

Zhao Xiangling looked at the two brothers, looked at Li Ruiqing's back and gave a thumbs up, and Tete pressed it on his back.

I don't know what Li Ruiqing said to Chalik to tell him to be like this...... Strong-willed?

"A-Niang told you to go back." Letan sighed, "I'll pick you up." ”

This statement exhausted Letan's helplessness. Retan was not born to the eldest princess, but he was the eldest prince, and it was a national tradition for the eldest son to succeed to the throne, so the crown fell on his head.

The eldest princess's parent, only this 'defected' to the southern kingdom of Tsalik, that is, the sixteenth son of the country.

"Brother, I originally resented you for robbing Harun, but now it's okay." Charik walked in and gave Letan a bear hug, "I didn't know you were in a difficult situation, so I will make it difficult for you everywhere, brother, in fact, you are the best." ”

Letan stiffened and didn't hug back. But Tsarik said to himself:

"Brother, when I was a child, I tripped over your jujube red horse, and I was the one who put sand in your mare's milk." Charik smiled, "Brother, you won't hold a grudge against me, will you?" ”

Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling man, Letan, who was being held, didn't know what to say.

"Actually, I know you know." Chalik said, "Brother, since I was a child, you have been punishing my aunt for me, and I should protect you this time." ”

"Who can you protect with such stupidity?" Letan said slowly. His face softened slightly, and he patted Chalik on the shoulder with one hand.

Charik let go and said seriously: "Brother, Zuo Xiang has already told me that I think Tonggong is very good, and I am willing to be the lord of the three cities." ”

Letan was dumbfounded.

The same is true for Zhao Xiangling.

Li Ruiqing didn't think about convincing Letan himself at all, he had planned to ask Tsarik to convince him.

It's just that he is clearly in the palace most of the time, when did he put on the line of Chalik, and when did he tell him to be so obedient?

Zhao Xiangling lowered his head and smiled, feeling that Ruiqing seemed to have more means than he imagined...... A little bit?

Chalik, who didn't realize that he was being used, chattered: "Brother, I will be the lord of the city, and A-Niang will definitely agree." She is not satisfied with your troubles every time, I am idle, the position of the city lord is very important, and she will not look for your trouble again when I am the city lord. ”

"But ......," Letan sighed, and did not continue. How could the eldest princess want Charik to be the lord of the city? She clearly wanted to push him and step on her skull to ascend to the throne.

"But what?" Charik tugged at Letan's sleeve, like a young child coquettish with his brother, "Brother, I haven't done a good thing since I was a child, so you agree that it's not good?" I promise that this time I will keep to myself and will never cause you any trouble! ”

Letan was so entangled by him that he had to say, "What's the use of me agreeing?" You have to agree to this matter before you have to count. ”

What is he? He's just a puppet emperor. The things he promised will not count, and the real decision is in the hands of the eldest princess.

But not in the ears of Tsarik. In his heart, Letan just agreed.

"Don't worry, A-Niang can't resist me, she will definitely agree." Charik pulled Letan up, "Let's go home now, and we'll tell A-Niang about this." ”

After saying that, he dragged Letan and was about to leave.

Letan glanced back and saw that Li Ruiqing and Zhao Xiangling seemed indifferent to Tsarik's departure. They have no intention of hindering them.

In that case, why didn't he leave?

Turning his head to let Hartun follow, Letan left the place generously.

Everyone dispersed, and Zhao Xiangling sat down with his eyebrows twisted: "Ruiqing, have you discussed this matter with others?" ”

Tonggong mutual market, even if Letan's side agrees, there will be an uproar in the southern court.

Zhao Xiangling selectively skipped the matter that he had not yet agreed to.

Li Ruiqing sat down with a smile: "I discussed this matter with Beici and told him about the pros and cons. ”

Zhao Xiangling shook his head: "It's not enough, although Chen Beici is said to be the Chen family, his weight is far from enough to be involved in this matter." ”

The Tonggong mutual market is not simply about selling something, it is not only about the livelihood of the three cities, but also about the stability of the border between the two countries.

If the weapons of the country are not perfect, they can already harass the southern country from time to time, if it is perfect, how can it still be done?

"I consulted with him on this issue when I was under the right minister of the cabinet, and he also supported the tributary exchange, and even listed a series of pros and cons on this issue." Li Ruiqing said, "I think he will support it." ”
