Two days later, the envoys of Ningguo and his entourage arrived in Cangshan. Due to the urgency of time, Yunchen directly asked King Jiang to omit the reception banquet, and entered the agenda of peace talks with Yan Guo on the same day. Wei Nong still hadn't figured out how to face Yunchen, and he was afraid that his appearance would be wrong, so he didn't participate in the peace talks, and just waited silently for all kinds of news.

On the first day, the two sides argued endlessly about the disposition of the army, and Du Zhong, the general of the Yan State Auxiliary State, had an extremely passionate voice, and he could be heard indignantly scolding and questioning from several rooms, while Ning Guo was much quieter.

On the second day, the military situation was still deadlocked, and the two sides put aside this point for the time being, and turned to talk about whether to establish a new dynasty, who would be the emperor of the new dynasty, and how the princes should divide the feuds, and so on, and they were still arguing.

Day 3 & 4...... Wei Nong heard countless news every day, but there was no condition for Yanning and Ning to reach an agreement, so tossed for half a month, or the dust did not settle, the two sides decided to suspend the peace talks, and wrote letters to tell their respective masters on the core issues in the peace talks.

Ming Chenyuan and Definition Hou and Du Zhong got together to discuss every day, but Wei Nong couldn't interject at all, and no one listened to her. She was helpless, but she couldn't leave, so she spent a whole month on Cangshan, and everyone was worn out impatiently. In order to avoid this noisy and contentious environment, Wei Nong even went to Nie Xingji's cemetery for a few days, until Ming Chenyuan came to pick her up in person, saying that Yan Ning had reached an agreement on a major matter, and she did not return.

From beginning to end, she had never seen Yunchen.

When Mingchen returned to the place of peace talks, Wei Nong unexpectedly found that Hou Duhao and Du Zhong, the general of the auxiliary state, were in her room, she looked at this person who should not have appeared in her room, and asked politely: "Are you two looking for me for something?" ”

Du Zhong and Hou Qi looked at Ming Chenyuan together, but the latter had a struggling expression, and finally stomped his feet, and said without a beginning or an end: "You still tell her, I really can't say it!" Without waiting for a slight reaction, he pushed the door straight out.

Wei Nong saw that his mood was wrong, and he seemed to have something difficult to say, and thought that something had gone wrong in the peace talks, so he hurriedly asked: "Is the peace talks not going well?" ”

Du Zhong shook his head: "Fortunately, several issues that were disputed a few days ago have been solved one after another recently, and the old man has submitted a letter to send back to China." ”

Wei Nong was puzzled: "Why is the Marquis of Zhenguo not very happy?" ”

Hearing this, Du Zhong was silent for a moment, and said without a beginning or an end: "In this month, the matter of reunification has basically been decided, and Ning Guo can barely be regarded as sincere. ”

When he knew that it was Yunchen who came forward to represent Ning Guo in the peace talks, Wei Nong had already expected that it would be the result of reunification, so he was not too surprised, nodded and said: "That's fine, at least in the evaluation of future generations, we are not sinners in history." ”

Du Zhong also nodded: "Yes, this is not a break in the national honor of Yan Kingdom, at least we haven't lost yet." ”

didn't lose, and it was the same as losing, Du Zhong's words were just self-comforting. But Wei Nong didn't break it, and asked, "Is it the Yuan clan who is the emperor?" ”

"Yes," Du Zhong confirmed, "it has been preliminarily decided, the Ning royal family is called the emperor, the Yan royal family is the successor, and the new dynasty has established the position of three kings, which can be hereditary." ”

The Yuan clan is the emperor, and the Nie clan is the queen, and the two countries are also closely related. At least in the hearts of the people of Yan Kingdom, they can probably accept this result, Wei Nong thought about it, and reminded: "It is not enough for the Nie family to be the next generation, you have to make it clear, and the candidates for the throne of the new dynasty in the future must be selected from among the princes who will come out." Only in this way can we ensure that every emperor has the blood of Yan State, and only in this way can the two countries truly become one! ”

Du Zhong had already thought of this: "The old man has already mentioned it, and King Ning has also agreed." ”

This is the biggest problem, only by selecting the emperor and queen can we truly get rid of the grievances and grievances between Yan Ning, and the rest of the problems can be solved.

Wei Nong didn't think so much, and asked again: "Which three kings do you refer to when you set up the three kings?" Will it be too little? ”

"Not a lot," replied the Definition Hou this time, "these three kings are the kings of Yan and Jiang, and the Marquis of Zhen. ”

Ming Chenyuan is also crowned king? This surprised Weinong. After all, King Jiang is the king of a country, and it is natural for him to be crowned the throne in the new dynasty, which can be regarded as an explanation to Jiang Guo. And although Nie Xingyi is a fake Yan royal family, it is understandable that he is the king in name, and if he is not crowned king, I am afraid that there will be a period of turmoil in the Yan Kingdom, and this cheap can barely be given to him. But Ming Chen is far from the king? Will King Ning agree?

As if knowing the slight doubts, Du Zhong opened his mouth to explain: "Everyone knows that His Royal Highness the Prince Regent was at odds with the king during his lifetime, and the world also knows that the Marquis of Zhenguo is a close confidant of His Royal Highness the Prince Regent. This reward, one is to give His Royal Highness an explanation after his death, which can reflect the recognition of His Highness's achievements during his lifetime by the new dynasty; Second, with the Marquis of Zhenguo in front of the king, His Royal Highness's followers will understand that the new monarch will not care about the past, and they will be willing to worship the new dynasty; Moreover, the prestige of the Marquis of Zhenguo in the army is too high, and giving him a good position is conducive to stabilizing the situation and stabilizing the morale of the army. ”

This explanation is plausible and impeccable. And in Wei Nong's heart, Ming Chenyuan is also worthy of such a position, and he can't help but agree: "You are really thoughtful." ”

Du Zhong seemed to be very satisfied with this decision, and said: "Also, in order to show the importance of the three kings, the new dynasty will no longer carry out the same rewards within a hundred years, including the princes and grandsons of the new dynasty, they will only be divided into marquises, and will never be equal to the three kings." I have to say that at this point, King Ning made our courtiers of Yan and Jiang have nothing to say. ”

Wei Nong was surprised that King Ning suddenly had such a mind, but after thinking about it, I am afraid that it was Yunchen's idea again. The descendants cannot be crowned king within a hundred years, this move seems to be a loss, but in fact, it is to retreat and advance, taking advantage of it. It must be known that the position of the emperor has been given to the Yuan family, and even if the descendants are not crowned kings, they are still the royal family of the new dynasty, and where will the status be worse?

Wei Nong finally floated a smile: "This decision is very good, the unification of Kyushu is not the credit of the Ning family, the establishment of the Three Kings is a full recognition of the merits of Yan and Jiang, and it also teaches the world that reunification is not easy to come by, and all countries have made sacrifices." ”

"Having said that, the three kings do not enjoy the fiefdom, only Tang Muyi, and they all have to go to the national capital to live after the establishment of the new dynasty." Du Zhong was a little regretful: "At this point, Yunchen and Shen Jue are very persistent, we can't fight." ”

That is to say, the three kings are famous and rich, but they have no power. Since there is no fiefdom, it is impossible to raise soldiers, they can only obediently live under the nose of the new emperor, take the silver paid by Tang Muyi every year, and be a rich and noble person?

In all fairness, this is fine, many wars in history were provoked by vassal kings and princes, and the reason is that these people have land and soldiers in their hands, which breeds rebellion. King Ning's method is better than prevention, at least it can prevent Nie Xingyi and Mingchen from regretting it in the future, and from the overall situation, it is not a good thing.

However, as the position of the Yan people, what should be fought for is still to be fought for, and Wei Nong then expressed his opinion: "If there is no fiefdom, it is okay to move to the new capital, but the three kings can't be idlers, and the new dynasty must give them a certain amount of real power, otherwise what will the people of Yan and Jiang think in their hearts?" ”

Definition Hou and Du Zhong nodded at the same time, and the former said: "We have already raised this point, and Yunchen has also agreed, and we will discuss the details again." ”

This is slow work, and the Three Kingdoms need to sit down and grind slowly, and they also have to ask the Three Kings for their own will. But as long as the general direction is set, there should be no further changes.

Generally speaking, Wei Nong has no opinion, only one point - where did this candidate come from. Among the three people in the room, Ming Chenyuan and Du Zhong are all Nie Xingji's henchmen, and they have long understood Nie Xingyi's life experience, and Wei Nong is sitting upright, and he is not afraid to define Hou Duo, so he mentioned it in front of him: "The original family is the emperor, and the Nie family is the queen, it seems that there is no problem, but the Nie family has no woman who can be the queen." Nie Xingyi's daughter...... Nor is it orthodox blood. ”

Seeing that Wei Nong took the initiative to bring it up, Du Zhong did not hide it: "Gaozong also has a sibling who is still alive and has been exiled to the southern border for decades, and I heard that he left behind a great-granddaughter named Nie Yuqing, but she is only five years old this year. ”

Five-year-old? Then when she grows to marriageable age, won't she have to wait for ten years? And reunification waits for no one! Suddenly, Wei Nong thought of another question: "King Ning is already over the age of old, it is impossible for him to marry again, for today's plan, it depends on who he chooses as the heir and then makes plans." ”

Hearing this, Du Zhong and Definition Hou glanced at each other, and the former said first: "Even if Nie Yuqing is of the right age, we don't dare to let her be the queen." First of all, regardless of the fact that she was born with the crime of exile, she must have a grudge against the Yan royal family, even if she is a good princess and county lord, growing up in a border land with limited education, how can she be worthy of the important responsibility of the queen? It is impossible to expect her to fight for any benefit for the people of Yan Kingdom. ”

Definition Hou also echoed: "The founding queen of the new dynasty, such an important position, must not be entrusted to others." ”

The attitude of the two was so resolute that Wei Nong couldn't understand it. What does that mean? Do you want Nie Xingyi's daughter to pretend to be the real princess of the Yan royal family and become the queen of this new dynasty? Won't Nie Xingyi become the ruler of the new dynasty? The position of the definition Hou has also been secretly improved! It's also too cheap for their father and son!

The more Wei Nong thought about it, the more she felt that she couldn't agree, she believed that Ming Chenyuan would not agree, and was about to veto, but at this time, she suddenly heard a report from outside the door: "Lord You, Lord Ning Guoyun wants to see you." ”

Yunchen is here? I haven't said I want to see her for more than a month, why did I come here today? Wei Nong really didn't know how to face him, hesitated for a moment, and was about to open his mouth to refuse, but a question suddenly flashed in his mind: Yan and Jiang are among the three kings, what about the Chu royal family? Is there nothing?

Wei Nong didn't believe it. It was at this moment that she immediately changed her mind and decided to probe Yun Chen's tone, so she replied outward: "Please Lord Yun take a break in the side hall, and I will go over immediately." ”
