Dugu Yeqi didn't leave time for Ning Qi to oppose at all, and directly finalized the matter.

"It's not early, the emperor should rest early! The king retired. After Dugu Yeqi finished speaking, he turned around and left, and now facing the emperor, he is becoming more and more impatient.

"Wait a minute!" Ning Qi opened his mouth unhappily, as if with a strong sense of disgust, "The regent has the heart to choose a concubine for me, it seems that he is too idle, in this case, then the matter of entertaining the Khan King of the Qilan Steppe Kamulon will be handed over to the regent to be responsible!" The regent must be conscientious and try his best to meet all the requirements of Kamulon, and I will make everything go smoothly during his stay in Beijing, and maybe in the future, if my Qianlu court wants to unify the north and south of Qilan, it will also need to rely on this Kamulon. ”

Dugu Yeyan looked at Ning Qi in surprise, a little unbelievable that he had handed over this matter to himself. You must know that Qi Lan Grassland is a big force, now he and the emperor are calm on the surface, but in fact they are already tense, sooner or later there will be a day when the two tigers will fight, and he has a hunch that this day will not be too late. At such a time, shouldn't the emperor try to win over Kamulon? How could he be so generous to push him to himself?

However, he thought about it, Kamulon entered Beijing this time, nominally to attend the emperor's wedding ceremony, but in fact he came for the purpose of food and grass for the winter. If you want to form an alliance with him, you must solve the winter grain and grass for the Qilan grassland. And the household department of the imperial court is in the hands of his Dugu Yelan, even if the emperor wants to give this grain and grass to Kamulon, with his own presence, how can he easily touch the grain and grass controlled by the household department?

Presumably the emperor is very aware of this, so he retreated?

Dugu Yeyan was secretly thinking, and heard the emperor say, "As for the selection of concubines, it will be handed over to the regent to be fully responsible." It's just that in this matter, I ask the regent to do it personally, and I can't believe it in the eyes of others! ”

Dugu Yeqian intuitively felt that the emperor was playing some kind of tricks with him, it was impossible for him to hand over Kamulon to him happily, but for a while, he couldn't understand what the emperor was thinking, his eyes flashed, and he said, "I'm afraid this won't work, now that the emperor is about to get married, this king will personally preside over the emperor's wedding ceremony, how to choose a concubine!" However, the emperor can rest assured that this matter will definitely be handed over to a safe person to handle, and he will definitely choose someone who will satisfy the emperor. ”

The emperor looked reluctant, frowned and said, "Who can those old men from the Ministry of Rites choose?" If you toss for a long time with great fanfare, and the people you choose are not what I want, what should I do? Is it possible to go back? ”

Dugu Yeqi was a little impatient, listening to the emperor's meaning, he had to let him choose the concubine in person? Are you kidding!

"Then what good idea does the emperor have?"

"Tobe Squire Zhang Zhihe is your cousin, right? I've heard that this person has some good knowledge, so I might as well leave this matter to him, and I can rest assured. ”

Dugu Yeyan glanced at the emperor when he heard this, and sneered in his heart, he said that the emperor would never obediently hand over Kamulon to himself, and he would definitely do something about it. Sure enough, he originally wanted to take the opportunity of choosing a concubine to spend Zhang Zhihe.

The emperor was right, Zhang Zhihe was indeed his cousin, and it was he who put Zhang Zhihe in the position of the head of the household. Although Zhang Zhihe is young, but eloquent and eloquent, he is a rare negotiator, the emperor thought that he wanted to form an alliance with Kamulon, and Zhang Zhihe could not negotiate without Zhang Zhihe, so he wanted to spend Zhang Zhihe and draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle, and when the time came, he could not negotiate with Kamulon, and he could not blame others.

But he thinks too simply, how can a simple-minded person like him be worthy of being the king of a country?

To form an alliance with Kamulon, what is needed is not how eloquent the negotiator is, but to figure out what Kamulon needs, which he has already figured out, as long as Kamulon's needs can be met, this matter is simply a matter of course, and anyone who talks will not have an impact on the result, but the emperor thinks that only Zhang Zhihe can complete this matter, which is too ridiculous!

However, on the other hand, it was not surprising that the emperor could understand such careful thinking. The Dugu family, that is the family that has been fighting in the Yellow Springs for hundreds of years, even if the emperor who was cut off by him and tightly bound in the palace would definitely not obediently let others slaughter, it was good for him to play such a careful mind, at least it was not used elsewhere, at least he found out.

"Since the emperor trusts him so much, then leave this matter to him!" Dugu Yeqi pretended not to find out the emperor's intentions, and said lightly.

When the emperor's eyes lit up when he heard this, he immediately said, "Then I immediately issued an order to order Zhang Zhihe to leave Beijing early tomorrow morning and go to various states and counties to select suitable women to enter the palace!" ”

Seeing that the emperor couldn't wait like this, it was obvious that Zhang Zhihe had no time to negotiate with Kamulon and was ordered to leave Beijing, Dugu Yeyan sneered in his heart, but on the surface he pretended to obey the order.

After the next day of the court, Zhang Zhihe was ordered to go out of Beijing, Dugu sent a message to Kamulon at night, and discussed the terms of negotiation with Kamulon with Helian Mingzhao in his own house, and was just about to go out to the post house, when someone suddenly came to the palace, saying that the emperor was looking for him to discuss urgent matters, and let him enter the palace immediately.

Dugu Yeqi was a little puzzled, the most important thing for the emperor now was to prepare for the wedding, what could he do? Even if there was something really going on, why didn't you say it in the early dynasty?

Helian Mingzhao frowned impatiently, "Lord Wang, don't pay attention to him!" Do you think that if we call him the emperor, he will really be supreme? As long as the prince is willing, he can be dragged off the throne at any time! Why do you have to accommodate him, my lord! The time you agreed with Kamulon is coming up, my lord, it's important to go to see Kamulon! ”

Dugu Yeqi thought about it for a while and said, "This king will enter the palace immediately, Mingzhao, have you remembered all the conditions we discussed just now?" You go to Kamlon on behalf of the king, and tell him all the stakes clearly, and the king believes that he will make the right choice! ”

"Lord Wang!" Helian Ming said hurriedly, "You can't really be afraid of the emperor, right?" What's the point of going to see him? ”

"Mingzhao, you don't understand." Dugu Yeqi said, "As long as he is still on the throne for one day, he is the emperor, at least the superficial work should be done enough." Don't worry, there will be no problem on Kamulon's side, he has no other choice than to cooperate with this king, you can rest assured to go! ”

When Helian Mingzhao arrived at the inn, Jiang Yushu was angry at Luo Yunshuang, who was depressed on the hospital bed, "Either you go and tell him who you are and snatch him back to your side, or you forget him and start a new life, what do you mean by torturing yourself here like this?" When did you become a timid coward? ”

Luo Yunshuang buried her head in the quilt with a lazy expression and muttered, "What do you know!" ”

Jiang Yushu ripped off the quilt and pulled her head out, sneering, "What do I know? What am I not aware of? Aren't you just embarrassed that he didn't go to you? Don't you just mind if he wants to marry another woman? So why don't you ask? You obviously care about him in your heart, why do you say those words to stimulate him? But I can tell you, I don't think he is the same person he used to be now, not to mention the words he said in the hall that night, just now, he is not only going to get married, but also to be established, and even to go all over the country to select beautiful women to fill the harem! I think he's probably completely forgotten about you, so you'd better forget about him too! ”

"What did you say?" Luo Yunshuang was stunned and asked puzzled, "What is in the harem, and who wants to fill the harem?" This must be groundless, he said that he would never have three wives and four concubines! ”

"Absolutely not?" Jiang Yushu sneered, "Let me tell you, three wives and four concubines are a man's nature, nothing is impossible, and nothing will definitely not!" He can marry someone else, why can't he have three wives and four concubines? You don't still believe what he said, do you? Don't be stupid, now everyone outside knows that in the early dynasty, the emperor issued an edict and appointed Zhang Zhihe, the head of the household department, to choose concubines all over the country, and the facts are in front of you, what else do you not believe? ”

Jiang Yushu's words shocked Luo Yunshuang's heart, yes, he had said before that he would only love her in this life as long as she was alone, but didn't he still want to marry someone else now? A man's words can't be trusted at all, she should have known this a long time ago, shouldn't she? But she was stupid and stubborn to believe what he had said before!

No, maybe she already knew in her heart that what he had said before would no longer work, but she was still subconsciously unwilling to break her beautiful dream, and Jiang Yushu's words were like a hammer, knocking her awake fiercely.

Luo Yunshuang gritted her teeth and muttered to herself, "Ning Qi, no, Dugu Yeli, hello, you are so good!" ”

At this moment, the servants came to report that Helian Mingzhao had come, and the king of Khan had asked her to meet her.

Luo Yunshuang was stunned for a moment, and then said in a cold voice, "What is he doing here?" Missing! ”

She's so angry right now! Ning Qi's betrayal of her must have a copy of Helian Mingzhao's embarrassment! As soon as Luo Yunshuang heard his name, she couldn't wait to kick him out of the door, how could she be in any mood to see him!

"Wait!" Seeing that the man was about to turn around and leave, Jiang Yushu called him and said to Luo Yunshuang, "Don't be impulsive, Helian Mingzhao is here, it should be for the grain and grass that Qilan Grassland needs, how can you not see it?" ”

Luo Yunshuang reacted immediately, she had already agreed with Kamulon and the others before, she was solely responsible for the matter of grain and grass, and Kamulon and his party knew that she was eccentric and had a lot of ghost ideas, and she would never let the Central Plains people deceive her, so everyone was very relieved to hand over this matter to her.

If Helian Mingzhao came to the post house for something else, how could the eldest brother ask her out? Jiang Yushu is right, presumably Helian Mingzhao really came here for grain and grass!

Luo Yunshuang patted her head, sighed and said, "I'm almost confused by them, let's go!" Let's go meet this Helian son for a while! ”

Luo Yunshuang and Jiang Yushu came to the front hall after putting on their masks, and saw Helian Mingzhao drinking tea and talking with Kamulon, because of the contradiction between Luo Yunshuang and the emperor last night, these two people were really intimate, so they had to drink tea silently, and the atmosphere was really a little weird.

Just when Helian Mingzhao almost couldn't stand the atmosphere and almost jumped up, a low and sexy voice suddenly came from the door, "Helian Gongzi is here, it really makes us shine!" I wonder if there is something important for Prince Helian to come to our brother and sister? ”

The corners of Helian Mingzhao's mouth twitched, this woman is too self-righteous to speak, right? This is in the land of Qianlu, does she really regard herself as the master?

Fortunately, Helian Mingzhao hasn't forgotten what he is here for? He said with concern, "I wonder what is the condition of Princess Phoenix?" On behalf of the Qianlu Imperial Court, I came to visit Princess Phoenix. ”
