Chapter 114: My Woman
Li Teng'er suddenly "giggled" and laughed: "My Xiliang is not the Longtan Tiger's Den, and the queen's mother is a high-ranking person when she arrives in my Xiliang, and she will also be the queen of the six palaces in the future." Moreover, my Empress Xiliang can also participate in politics, which can be said to be power-leaning towards the government and the opposition, which is not a little stronger than being the queen of this nest in Chang'an, and she has to be pointed out by a group of pedantic old ministers. The queen doesn't need such a worrying, righteous and awe-inspiring posture. ”
The two envoys of Xiliang looked at each other, looking at Li Teng'er and feeling inexplicable, but they didn't dare to say a word, it seems that what Li Teng'er said is true, in Xiliang, women do have a certain status above the court.
Mo Guhan sat down, stretched out his fingers and tapped on the armrest of the Nine Dragons chair, his face had returned to calm, no one could guess what he was thinking in his heart?
Li Teng'er waved his hand, and the envoy behind him presented a scroll with both hands, Li Teng'er slowly unfolded it in front of the case, stretched out his finger and pointed to the two cities adjacent to Chang'an on the map, and said seriously: "As long as the queen agrees, Li Teng'er will cross out these two cities from the Xiliang territory today and return them to Chang'an, what is the intention?" ”
Seeing that Mo Guhan was silent, Yuehua secretly gritted her teeth, and almost blurted out the word "willing" angrily.
When His Royal Highness Chu Mubai heard this, he couldn't hold it anymore, took a step forward, knelt on the ground, and said in a deep and firm voice: "Your Majesty, don't do it!" ”
Mo Guhan raised his eyes, stared at Chu Mubai, and asked word by word, "Why not?" ”
"Weichen's father-in-law guarded the border pass back then, killed countless enemies, and the Xiliang people hated him to the bone, how could he treat the queen well? Today, since the princess Xiliang stepped into the Qianqing Palace, she has ulterior motives to provoke the relationship between the emperor and the queen, and now she has taken the initiative to exchange the city for marrying the queen's mother, which shows that she has been planning for a long time, and there must be some conspiracy. ”
Li Teng'er turned around, faced Chu Mubai, and said aggressively: "General Chu, I, Li Teng'er, have never done business that loses money. I Xiliang did not hesitate to cede the city, just because Li Teng'er cherished the intelligence and intelligence of the queen's mother, and wanted to marry my brother, and I had nothing else to think of. If it's just for personal vendetta or to vent anger, don't you think our price is too great? ”
"The prince of your country has not been out of the prince's mansion for several years, I am afraid that it is the prince in the palace, but it is just a puppet arranged by the emperor of your country for fear of the prince's rebellion, right?" Chu Mubai hit the nail on the head unceremoniously.
Chu Mubai's words made Li Teng'er slightly annoyed: "Hehe, on the day of the emperor's brother's wedding, Teng'er will definitely personally send an invitation to General Chu, so that you can see the peerless demeanor of my Prince Xiliang." ”
Yuehua looked at Li Teng'er, and was also full of sarcasm: "This palace is also really curious, let me ask Her Royal Highness the princess, what kind of virtue and ability can this palace have, so that you can make up your mind in an instant and ask for marriage on behalf of your brother?" Could it be that the work of the female workers in this palace can be compared to the ghost talent of my Chang'an Shao Xiang? ”
One sentence hit the nail on the head, and everyone in the hall was also suspicious, and Li Teng'er exchanged a city for Shao Ziqing, which was already a stone that stirred up a thousand waves. She doubled her bet in an instant, and exchanged two cities for marrying Chu Yuehua, in their hearts, this queen mother is useless, how can she be compared with Shao Xiang, who is famous in Chang'an?
No one in Manchang'an knows that Shao Xiang is the minister of the humerus who Mo Guhan invited to the court in the thatched house, and he wants Mo Guhan to exchange him for a city, which is absolutely impossible. What Li Teng'er used was just a roundabout tactic, throwing bricks and leading jade, the real purpose of this is the queen, not a whim.
Among the ministers were Chu Lingchuan's subordinates in the old days, who had a very personal relationship with Chu Mubai, and he also took a step forward and said to Mo Guhan: "What General Taiping said is indeed very reasonable, I am afraid that this is the divisive plan of the Xiliang people, so as to divide the emperor and queen and lose harmony, in addition to the confidant General Chu, I hope the emperor will think twice." ”
Li Teng'er wrinkled her nose, quite disdainful, and said coldly: "Why are you Chang'an people so indecisive and suspicious? Or do you not dare to ask for this surrendered city? ”
"Don't dare?" Chu Mubai snorted coldly, arched his hand towards Mo Guhan on the throne, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the Chang'an Dynasty still has me Chu Mubai, the minister is willing to lead the army to continue the westward expedition, not to mention the two cities, the minister would rather bury the bones in the yellow sand, go straight to Liangzhou, expand the territory of Chang'an to Jiuquan, unify the world, and make meritorious contributions to Chang'an." ”
One sentence completely annoyed the Xiliang envoys, Li Teng'er retracted his face full of charm, suddenly became fierce, his eyebrows were angry, and he snorted coldly at Chu Mubai:
"Chu Mubai, you are so arrogant! Even though it is true that it is my Xiliang who negotiates peace with you in Chang'an today, you must know that it is not me Xiliang who is afraid of your Chang'an army! It's just that you have the Great Wall of Chang'an, and the time and place are blessed.
Now that we are snowing heavily in the west, we have lost three cities, and the army is not strong enough to support the grain and grass, so we are forced to sue for peace. But you also have to know that your Chang'an army can't cross the sea of snow and invade my Xiliang.
If you set foot on my Xiliang land and try it, see if you can find things like you said? There is no need for me Li Teng'er to personally go into battle, just my Xiliang heavy snow can swallow your tens of thousands of troops, so that you can really bury your bones in the yellow sand and shroud in horse leather! ”
Li Teng'er burst out with a terrifying aura all over his body, and his words were sonorous, so that the timid did not dare to look up, where did the ministers dare to underestimate him?
Yuehua knows Chu Mubai's temperament, he is too upright, not as slippery as others, he was provoked by Li Teng'er, filled with righteous indignation, and he is not sure what kind of words he will say. Falling into the ears of those who have ulterior motives will definitely give birth to what is right and wrong.
So she couldn't care about it, snorted coldly, and hurriedly took over the conversation: "Since Princess Li Teng'er is so domineering and has something to rely on, it's strange, what is the reason why Xiliang is willing to swallow his anger and ask me for peace in Chang'an?" Don't tell the palace that the Xiliang monarch is compassionate and compassionate, and he doesn't want to see high-sounding excuses such as the misery of the lives of the two countries. ”
Li Teng'er's eyes turned around, and she avoided the important and light: "Why your country agreed to negotiate peace is naturally the reason why I asked for peace in Xiliang." Doesn't the queen approve? ”
Yuehua was about to answer, Mo Guhan snorted coldly: "It's really arrogant." ”
Yuehua knew each other and said no more.
Mo Guhan picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a small sip. The tea was no longer hot, and even when it was cold, he didn't seem to be aware of it.
Above the main hall, there was silence for an instant, and everyone watched his movements with their eyes open, waiting for the final decision.
Yuehua lowered her eyelids, her palms unconsciously oozed fine beads of sweat, clutching the brocade sleeves tightly, but she had to feign calmness.
She knows that her future fate is in the hands of Mo Guhan, as long as his thin lips open and coldly spit out a "good" word, then it is a foregone conclusion that she will marry Xiliang, and her affection for him will be stifled forever in these days.
It is said that men are thin and lucky, will he sacrifice her Chu Yuehua for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji?
Mo Guhan has been unhurried and leisurely, waiting until a cup of tea is drunk, then he put the empty lamp on the golden dragon case, raised his eyes and coldly swept over the ministers with ghosts on the main hall, and finally fixed on Li Teng'er's body, took the discussion and document on the case, glanced at it, and threw it on the ground.
"Asking for a queen? You Xiliang is arrogant! She Chu Yuehua is the queen of the world, so she will be my woman for the rest of her life, husband and wife are one, valuable and unexchangeable. I don't care about relying on women in exchange for a small amount of money.
If you Xiliang don't have the sincerity to negotiate peace, it's fine. Wait until next year, when the ice and snow melt, you will lose your moat, and then see you on the battlefield with General Chu, and see if the princess will still be so arrogant?! ”
At that moment, Yuehua's eyes instantly filled her eyes with tears. No matter if Mo Guhan said such a thing, it was because of his face, or his integrity, or because he really recognized himself, anyway, he gave up the two cities and kept her Chu Yuehua!
Conquering two cities requires the lives of thousands of soldiers, and she is just an insignificant woman who annoys him and is suspicious of him, and harems abound.
Which is more important?
She was already on the verge of despair, but this man suddenly gave her a turnaround!
Her clenched hand slowly loosened, and the bones all over her body seemed to collapse in pieces, barely having the slightest strength, and completely collapsed. At this time, she felt a tingling pain in her palms, which were as hot as burning.
She lowered her head to hide her tears, not wanting others to see her vulnerability and touch. The moment she lowered her eyes, the tears in her eyes could no longer be contained, and they fell like rain. She sniffed lightly, then gritted her teeth, forced the tears in her eyes back into her sockets, slowly stretched out her fingertips, and tightly grasped the corner of Mo Guhan's robe.
Like a helpless child who is lost and helpless, she finally has a trustworthy support, can deliver herself with confidence, she grabbed a corner of his coat belt, and felt that she finally caught a life-saving driftwood in the almost suffocating lake, and could poke her head out and breathe greedily.
Mo Guhan glanced sideways at Yuehua's quietly stretched out hand, and a smug look flashed at the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, but he just snorted coldly, and threw down the word "breath" in disgust.
