The news soon reached the ears of King Hong, who was still an envoy in Yanling, and King Hong was shocked and asked to see Sima Hongyan overnight. However, Sima Hongyan was chatting with his sisters, and he was too busy, so he had to let King Hong talk about something in the court tomorrow.

Early the next morning, King Hong entered the palace and asked to see Sima Hongyan again, but this time he didn't deal with him, and Sima Hongyan summoned him. Lan Shengwu came up and asked Yan Ling what his intention was to send troops into Dongning privately, there were alliance talks going on between the two countries, and Yan Ling secretly sent troops behind his back, which was really an unrefined behavior.

Sima Hongyan was not annoyed, and asked King Hong instead: "It's true that the alliance is being negotiated, but I haven't promised you anything about the alliance, and I haven't signed any peace treaty, so King Hong's question doesn't seem to make sense, right?" Besides, my Yanling army entered Dongning just to invite back our Yanling subjects, and they didn't do anything to you, so why make such a fuss? ”

King Hong said angrily: "How can I have any subjects of Yanling in Dongning, and even a three-year-old child can't be deceived by Lord Feng's words. ”

Sima Hongyan snorted heavily, and glanced at Ban Lingruo beside him.

Ban Lingruo told the story of those friends who died in the Dongning Wilderness, and his tone was sad and angry, and his voice was fierce.

King Hong knew about this, but he didn't know that the Yanling people who died at that time were buried there on the spot. The cause of this incident was Dongning's despicable behavior first, and King Hong was ashamed and silent after hearing this.

Sima Hongyan saw that Lan Shengwu was speechless, so he said to him: "My warriors of Yanling died innocently in Dongning and buried their bodies in the wilderness, His Royal Highness King Hong thinks that I took them back to the fallen leaves and returned to their roots, is it wrong?" ”

Lan Shengwu had long lost his previous anger, and had to reply: "Lord Feng is affectionate and righteous, this thing is right, I was abrupt just now, please don't blame Lord Feng!" ”

Sima Hongyan said: "Since King Hong thinks that I did the right thing, it means that His Royal Highness King Hong admitted that this matter was Lan Aoxin's mistake first, so how can I not repay it if I have such a deep hatred?" So it's not too much for me to ask His Royal Highness King Hong to hand over Lan Aoxin, right? ”

Lan Shengwu was stunned for a moment, wanting to defend himself, but he had no reason to refute it, and was silent for a moment before he said helplessly: "But no matter what, she is the sixth princess of Emperor Dongning after all, my niece!" Even if she did something wrong, we couldn't watch her die. ”

Sima Hongyan said in a stern voice: "Could it be that for the sake of a person who made a mistake, you did not hesitate to go to war between the two countries to maintain your so-called royal dignity?" King Hong, you must know that once the war starts, it is necessary to divide the winner and loser, and then the loser is likely to lose everyone's lives, do you think this is also worth it? ”

was shocked by Sima Hongyan's questioning, and Lan Shengwu was secretly frightened. However, it also aroused his pride, and he said loudly: "Lord Feng is also conceited, if you and I really fight, it is still unknown who will win or lose." I have been on the battlefield for decades, but I have not been wasted, if the phoenix lord really wants to break the net, I Dongning will take it. ”

Sima Hongyan looked at the indignant, but majestic Lan Shengwu, and sighed: "It's easy to say bold words, but have you thought about it, King Hong, why didn't I send troops directly to Dongning, but allowed you to come and negotiate with me?" ”

Of course, the reason will not be that Sima Hongyan does not dare, Lan Shengwu said curiously: "For what?" ”

"For the people!" Sima Hongyan said solemnly: "Soldiers are also ordinary people, and they are all old and young, and fighting a war will destroy countless families, make countless women become widows, and countless children become orphans. You royalty may not care about this, but I do, so I hope to settle the grievances between you and me in a peaceful way. ”

These righteous words came out of a woman's mouth, and Lan Shengwu actually felt a trace of shame, and sweat oozed slightly from his forehead.

Sima Hongyan continued: "Even if I don't care about the lives of your Dongning people, I still have to take care of the lives of my Yanling people. So one person can save tens of thousands of lives, and I don't feel like there's anything to lose to you at all. Your Royal Highness, I hope you can understand that human life is greater than heaven, and war is the next policy. But if that doesn't work otherwise, I don't mind fighting each other. You should consider the pros and cons carefully. ”

Lan Shengwu didn't expect that Sima Hongyan, a young girl, would still be able to realize the truth that human life is greater than heaven, but in comparison, his martial artist's reckless temperament made people laugh and be generous. The rhetoric just now is not a generous act at this time, on the contrary, it seems that the vision is too small, and it is not the work of a real hero.

For a time, the invincible King Hong fell into deep thought.

Seeing that Lan Shengwu was distracted, Sima Hongyan secretly said that this person was not a reckless man who could only fight, so he didn't bother him, got up and left quietly. She believed that King Hong would seriously rethink his suggestion when he returned.

Language is the most powerful weapon, even far beyond the role of thousands of armies. As long as you have insight into the opponent's heart and touch his most sensitive places, anyone will inevitably be moved by it.

As for how King Hong thinks about it after he goes back, it is no longer in the scope of Sima Hongyan's worries. She is now in a hurry to promote the marriage of Li Siyu and Han Miaoqi, if this matter is successful, the world will inevitably cause an uproar, and then it will be a great help to Yan Ling.

A few days later, Beilinghan's reply from Beiying arrived. As expected, Han Beiying agreed with it very much, and from the words of the reply, it could reveal Han Beiying's enthusiasm for marriage, and even said that Bei Ling had already begun to prepare Han Miaoqi's dowry. Looking at Han Beiying's urgent meaning, it seems that he can't wait to marry his daughter to Yanling immediately.

Sima Hongyan recalled Nan Guying's words and felt that Nan Guying's idea of not adopting any specific measures against Beiling was correct. If there is a marriage relationship again, it is not difficult for Beiling to be included in the territory of Yanling, Sima Hongyan already has a detailed plan in his heart, as long as he waits for the opportunity.

Although the marriage is Sima Hongyan's plan to absorb Beiling, it is also sincere to make Li Siyu and Han Miaoqi lovers become dependents, if these two have no feelings, she will not put these two people together.

After getting the consent of Beilinghan and Beiying, Sima Hongyan met with Li Mingzhong again, and the two talked privately for nearly two hours. Although everyone didn't know what they talked about, after that day, everyone in the Li Mansion began to get busy about Li Siyu's marriage.

The marriage was confirmed, and Li Siyu and Han Miaoqi were even more glued together, except for daily business, Li Siyu did not have a time when he was alone.

Sima Hongyan arranged a newlywed palace for them in the palace, and after Sima Hongyan's wedding, the two held a wedding ceremony.

King Hong and Zhuge Yu stayed in Yanling to exchange news of the alliance with their respective emperors through letters, and after a period of discussion, Nanyi first agreed to Sima Hongyan's alliance conditions, after all, they did not have the courage to start a war with Yanling now, and the deterrent effect of the fall of Western Vietnam on them was too great.

In fact, everyone understands that the so-called alliance is just a delaying tactic for these two countries, and after the alliance is formed, they will have time to make further strategic deployments, and once the time is ripe, they will not hesitate to tear up the contract and send troops to invade. Now the humiliation they have received in Yanling, they will definitely double their demand for it back.

Sima Hongyan understands this very well, but while the other party needs time, she also needs time, because she has no certainty of winning a battle, and she has no reserve force to fall into a stalemate.

We all know that it is not that there are many people who fight in a war, but who has sufficient reserves. Now in Yanling's treasury, there is no money and food to support the war, and if it is attacked by Dongning and Nanyi at this time, it will be difficult for Yanling to deal with it. Therefore, Sima Hongyan's arrogant strength is completely a swollen face and a fat man, bluffing!

These insiders are hidden very deeply, even the ministers of Yanling don't know, and the only people who have the truth are Sima Hongyan, Shi Jinyan, and Nan Guying. However, these three people secretly made arrangements, creating an illusion of confidence for Yan Ling, making everyone think that Yan Ling could fight whoever he wanted, and he was already so powerful that he could not be beaten.

This step is very risky, but it has to be done, and if you want to achieve the world-shaking achievement, you must have peerless courage. Sima Hongyan sang a perfect "empty city plan"!

Seeing that the date of Sima Hongyan's wedding is getting closer and closer, the whole country of Yanling is in a state of joy, and the topic of discussion all over the country is the upcoming Feng Lord Wedding Ceremony, which shows that under Sima Hongyan's governance during this time, it is very popular with the people.

The wedding ceremony was held in the main hall of the court, which was proposed by Sima Hongyan, because it was big enough and grand enough.

Sima Hongyan felt that the traditional royal wedding ceremony in Yanling was too complicated, and after seeing Nan Xunyan's wedding ceremony, she was even more reluctant to follow the ancient system. So she ingeniously designed a wedding ceremony for herself, in fact, that form is nothing more than copying the modern wedding model she participated in in her previous life and slightly improving it.

The Ministry of Rites made a set of wedding dresses for the Feng lord and the groom official, all of which were made of red silk and gold thread, and more than 100 embroidery girls worked in shifts. Although the time is tight, the workmanship is not sloppy, Sima Hongyan and Nan Guying are very satisfied after watching it.

Ten days before the wedding ceremony, Yanling Zhongdu and Yanling West all began to be decorated with red and hanging colors, and the Fengzhu wedding ceremony is a national event, and it must be celebrated by the whole world. Sima Hongyan originally instructed the officials not to let the people be extravagant, but who knew that after the order was transmitted, the whole country had no effect. Later, according to the understanding of the female army, the joy of the people's celebration of the phoenix lord was all from the bottom of their hearts, and it was not forcibly imposed by the government.

Since he was loved by the people, Sima Hongyan was moved and no longer blocked him.

In addition to the ordinary people, all the sects and factions in the rivers and lakes are also decorated with lanterns and lanterns, and all the leaders and heads of the gangs with heads and faces come to the capital to send congratulatory gifts. The two generations of martial arts alliance leaders of the Nan family, father and son, are all bloody men who are righteous and heroic, and they have always respected the people in the rivers and lakes, and they have done a lot of good things for the martial arts. Now although Nan Guying has stepped down as the leader of the alliance, his reputation is still there, and it has not been reduced by half compared with the beginning.

King Hong and Zhuge Yu have been staying in Yanling for a few months, and the alliance is not going very well, and the two still need to have a discussion with Sima Hongyan.

If they don't look at it, they can't imagine that Sima Hongyan has such a high status in the hearts of Yanling people. And this groom official is not a simple person, with his appeal in the rivers and lakes, he is definitely a young hero who responds to every call.

The combination of royalty and recklessness is really a shocking move that has never been seen before or since.
