"I hope that Your Majesty will agree, and the whole country will be allied!!"

Below, the two Turkic envoys bowed deeply, and the voices of the originally empty and magnificent Taiji Hall echoed.

and pro-...... To conclude an alliance between the two countries?

The retainers' breath is stagnant, and they are close to ...... Princess Baoqing?

Although Jinshang is not very close to the brothers and sisters, it is an exception for this princess Baoqing.

Maybe it's because the past experience is too pitiful, Your Majesty feels guilty, maybe you really love this girl, in short, Your Majesty is very different from this girl. Food and accommodation are in accordance with the best specifications.

They heard that the entire palace, except for the Changxin Palace, where the Queen Mother lived, and the Lizheng Palace, where Princess Baoqing lived, could get the fastest supply according to demand.

The princess likes to eat snacks and play with things, and she can always be satisfied at the first time.

You must know that today's routine frugality, even the days of Zhaoyang Hall and Taiji Hall are tight, and the funds have shrunk a lot, but that is, the Queen Mother is as much as the most favored Baoqing worship......

Princess Baoqing is so favored, how can His Majesty be willing to marry her far away to the Turkic wilderness?

In an instant, everyone's minds were like the Yellow River, which had already turned an unknown number of bends. Everyone subconsciously went to see His Majesty's reaction.

"I understand what your envoy means, so let's step back and go back to Honglu Temple to rest...... In a few days, I will naturally give you a reply......"

"Your Majesty......" Ashina Kutou was just about to speak, Gao Wei waved his hand and said, "It's really fortunate that the two of you came from afar...... Pei Duzhi must not treat the two envoys badly. Okay, I'm tired, you go down first......" Then Gao Wei's figure turned to the back of the hall and disappeared.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!" The ministers all bowed, and then dispersed one after another. Zheng Yu and other cabinet members gathered around Zhao Yanshen, "Zhao Xiang, look, what does Your Majesty mean?" The wrinkles between Zhao Yanshen's eyebrows deepened a little, sighed, and said, "You go down first, I'll go and see Your Majesty......" As he spoke, he walked out of the Taiji Hall alone, and went in the opposite direction, Zhaoyang Palace, His Majesty will definitely be there.

Pei Duzhi, the new secretary of Honglu Temple, walked in front of the Turkic envoy, smiled a little helplessly, arched his hand, and said: "Two, Your Majesty has also seen it, then, go back next......

At this time, Ashnaku came back to his senses and asked in a dissatisfied tone: "What does it mean that our Turks have asked for marriage from your country, but we came with full sincerity, but His Majesty the Emperor of your country did not reply to us?" ”

Pei Duzhi smiled like a spring breeze, "Don't be impatient, Your Majesty just said, you will inform your envoy of the result in a few days, your envoy and wait patiently, we will be entertained by the officials of Honglu Temple in the next few days, where do you want to go, what requirements for food and accommodation, within the scope of the conditions, we will try our best to meet the ......"

When Pei Duzhi pulled Ashina Kutou and Qin Mizhi to fight with him, Gao Wei had already returned to Zhaoyang Palace.

Gao Wei sat on the throne, caught a glimpse of the white jade paperweight lion on the case, remembered the threat of Ashinaku's head just now, and his heart suddenly became angry, and he grabbed the white jade paperweight lion and threw it on the pillar, and the jade pieces splashed everywhere! The chamberlains and guards in this hall all knelt tremblingly.

The wooden pole is ......, and it is too deceitful!

He wouldn't know what that old thing of the Wooden Khan meant?

The wooden pole is an old thing, and it is fake to ask his son for marriage, so as to test Daqi's reaction and true purpose is true!

So he made such a request. But Gao Wei refused to reply, let alone attack!

So Gao Wei can only drag him ...... for the time being, it's really aggrieved, extremely aggrieved!

The once glorious Qi State was threatened by a barbarian in front of the courtiers ......! Strange! Shame! Big! Insult!

Gao Wei closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and pressed the crazy killing intent in his chest......

The Turks are indeed a behemoth across the steppe, and in the more than ten years that the wooden pole has been in power, except for the Khitan and the Yan in the east, the rest of the steppe has been annexed by them.

From the fishing sea in the north to the Susan Empire in Central Asia in the west, in less than a hundred years, the Turks have become such a behemoth. On that day, Qin Mizhisili's statement that the Turks controlled the strings was one million, although it was an exaggeration, but it was not far off. Once the Turks mobilize all their strength, five or six hundred thousand can still be handled.

Cushman & Wakefield wanted to refuse outright, but at this time, ...... This juncture is ......, whether it is a blind cat hitting a dead mouse, or the wooden pole is really vicious, this time, he chose it so well, even Gao Wei has to admire him!

Not to mention that the previous imperial court's plan for Jinyang was abandoned, and it was very likely to attract the anger of the wooden pole, this moody old guy, no one knows if he will have tens of thousands of soldiers on the border of Daqi in the blink of an eye, in this case, a series of plans after Gao Wei will be disrupted!

Although the wooden pole is old, although the tiger is old, the residual power still exists. As long as he is alive, a series of cries of division within the Turks will only disappear! It can be said that the current Turks, as well as the Turks with the wooden pole Khan, are at the peak of history at this moment!

[I still need time...... As long as two years, just give me two years! Even if the wooden pole is not dead in two years, I will not be afraid of him! 】

[However, now that the Turkic problem is in front of me, I must make a choice......]

The temperature in the main hall seemed to be affected by the ups and downs of Gao Wei's mood, cold and oppressive.

The warm sunlight could not dispel the gloom in this hall, and the chamberlains and guards all lowered their heads, and even breathed quietly, for fear of disturbing the emperor who was on the verge of eruption.

The door of the inner hall creaked with a sharp and piercing sound, and Gao Wei's blade-like gaze instantly swept over, and the small yellow door that pushed open the door trembled, and stepped forward to report, "Your Majesty, Zhao Xiang asks to see ......."

Gao Wei's brows were still furrowed, but his tone was a little softer, "Announce him in......"

"Minister, Zhao Yanshen knocks on Your Majesty'......!" Zhao Yanshen bowed to the emperor on the throne, and when he entered the door, he caught a glimpse of the white jade paperweight lion on the ground, which was a small gadget that His Majesty liked very much, and he often played with it in his hands, and now it ended up like this...... Look at the atmosphere in this temple. He would not understand what His Majesty was thinking at this time......

Gao Wei's brows gradually relaxed, and said, "Yuanfu is here, what is the matter?" ”

"The old minister is here to ask Your Majesty, how do you want to respond to the Turks?" Zhao Yanshen is not twisted at all, he is not afraid of offending Cushman & Wakefield, and goes straight to the point.

Gao Wei sneered and said, "My thoughts, hum......" Gao Wei restrained his smile, "I want to kill him......"

There was silence all around, and only Gao Wei's sentence "I want to kill him" echoed.

Zhao Yanshen looked up at the emperor, just with this fluttering sentence, he knew that the emperor was not joking, he really wanted to kill the Turk.

"Your Majesty, your heart is in turmoil...... Zhao Yanshen lowered his eyebrows and said: "The so-called emperor, you have to eat accurately, hold it steadily, and hold ......!" Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, his face did not change color, His Majesty used to do a good job, didn't he do a good job? ”

“…… Your Majesty has been out of order, why? Because you can't bear to give up Your Highness?" Zhao Yanshen said: "The ministers secretly think that Your Majesty must not forget the great righteousness of the country because of petty affection......"

Gao Wei said: "What does Yuanfu mean?"

Zhao Yanshen raised his head, looked at Gao Wei with the same blade, took a deep breath, bowed down and said, "Old minister, I implore Your Majesty to agree to make peace with the Turks!"

"......" was silent for a long time, Gao Wei stared at Zhao Yanshen stubbornly, and the two monarchs and ministers confronted each other, but they were all silent.

After a long time, Gao Wei sneered, "What if I say no? ”

Zhao Yan sighed deeply and said, "Your Majesty, this is a major national event, don't be impulsive!" Not to ...... Be willful! ”

"Does Motosuke think I'm acting rashly?"

"Isn't Your Majesty going into a hurry?" Zhao Yanshen's face became firm, "Your Majesty can obviously agree directly, but hesitating here!" The old minister doesn't believe that His Majesty can't see it, marrying the princess to the past, for my Daqi, it will be beneficial and harmless! ”

"But that's not absolute!" Gao Wei also shouted: "He just used this to probe my bottom line, and kiss, it's just a bait he made, I won't marry Baoqing, does he really care so much?"

"Then Your Majesty is gambling on this? Since Your Majesty knows that this is just a temptation of the wooden pole, why does he refuse to give even an attitude? When the time comes, will the wooden pole use this as an excuse to send troops south, has Your Majesty thought about it? Now that our dynasty and Zhou are in a big war, the situation is already difficult, if the Turks intervene, what will Your Majesty do? Mutual market, reclamation ...... Many matters need domestic stability, and if the Turks send troops, then all the efforts I have made will be wasted! What should Your Majesty do?"

"Now that the national strength is declining, it is not easy to have this opportunity, Daqi has the image of Zhongxing, is it because of this matter, and His Majesty's hard work has been wasted? Your Majesty...... Think!! ”

Gao Wei calmed down, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, and after a long time, he said, "Baoqing her...... She was still young, let her go to the Turkic wilderness, she ...... Can you endure that kind of suffering? ”

Zhao Yanshen also had red eyes, he was one of the few people who knew who Baoqing's biological mother was, and he also knew that His Majesty had always felt guilty about what he had done for the first emperor, and he was so good to Princess Baoqing, in fact, a large part of the reason was to compensate for the sins of the royal family. However, sacrificing a princess for the sake of the country is nothing!

"Your Majesty, the old minister knows that Your Majesty loves Princess Baoqing, but Your Majesty must distinguish between family affection and national affairs!"

"It's not shameful to be friendly, it's the most shameful to have no ability to wash back the humiliation you have received!"

"It's useless to shout indomitable, not to bow to the enemy! It's all empty words! If you are not strong, then you will suffer ten times more humiliation than this! ”

"As long as the princess can marry far away, when the time comes, when I can breathe and the country is strong, then the princess will naturally not suffer grievances! Perhaps, one day, we will be able to bring the princess back ............"

Zhao Yanshen smiled bitterly, when did he also learn this kind of white lie?

However, since he has said so, of course he has to continue, His Majesty has begun to seriously consider it, his attitude has loosened, and he must strengthen His Majesty's position!

"What was the Han Dynasty like? Conquering the four seas and coming to the court from all directions, didn't there was also the danger of Bai Deng and the shame of kissing? Princess Baoqing, as a royal noble, should sacrifice herself for the country! ……”

Zhao Yanshen said loudly: "Your Majesty, if you can't give up, you have to give up!"

"Princess......" Gao Wei closed his eyes tiredly, "she is a princess, but she has only lived the life of a princess for a few days?" She was still so young and had suffered so much...... You're going to let me trade her away like a trade now...... Your name is me...... How can I bear it?"

"Helping the country and rejuvenating the country is a man's business, and it shouldn't involve her. If the Turks want to fight, it is useless to send them as many princesses as they want......"

"Your Majesty......" Zhao Yanshen was about to speak, but was stopped by Gao Wei raising his hand, "I said earlier, I am tired, Yuanfu will go down first." ”

Zhao Yan sighed deeply and said, "But Your Majesty...... On the matter of harmony, I hope that Your Majesty will not make a decision too early, and careful consideration is the ......, and the old minister will retire first. ”

Seeing Zhao Yanshen's figure disappear, Gao Wei smiled bitterly.

This emperor is really not so easy to do...... How good it would be if he was an ordinary scholar and scholar, he could wantonly propose not to be in harmony with the land, and whoever dared to propose peace and kiss would spray that person as cowardly as a rat and shameless scum!

But how can things in this world be so easy?

Being an emperor is really not happy for a moment. Every step of the way must be considered......

By the way, he should be called me now......

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.

"The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies...... Hard, hard, hard! He muttered a few words, and then there was no sound.

When the chamberlain peeked over, he saw the emperor leaning on the dragon couch with one hand, closing his eyes, as if asleep. A few attendants lifted an incense burner and put in a little soothing incense, and green smoke rose up.

Several men in official uniforms crept out of the corner. Gao Wei's personal attendant Lu Ran smiled apologetically at Pei Shiju and Yan Zhitui, and said in a very low voice: "Several, Your Majesty is taking a nap, please go out first......"

Pei Shiju nodded and said, "I understand, it's hard work......

Yan Zhitui was not very reluctant, and kept pulling Pei Shiju's hand and asked him to let go of his sleeve, "What are you doing, let go of me, I will leave ...... after recording the last sentence!" ”

Yan Zhitui is still in a state of excitement, as a living houser, one of his responsibilities is to record the emperor's words and deeds on weekdays, but the emperor doesn't talk much about anything other than government affairs all day. He wants to perfect the image of His Majesty, and there is no other adjective except for early wisdom and deep understanding, diligence and love for the people.

However, today's words between His Majesty and Zhao Xiang made him see another side of the emperor. This can help him record His Majesty more truly and completely!

Especially the sentence "The Son of Heaven guards the country" stimulated his enthusiasm. Yan Zhitui is calm and moderate, and rarely loses his temper because of anything or words, and he has really gained a lot today! He had to record it.

Lu Ran's complexion changed, and just as he was about to remind them to be quiet, Gao Wei opened his eyes and looked at this side unhappily, "Why is it noisy?"

Due to the bad mood, Gao Wei's tone was very angry, and the chamberlain and several officials bowed down.

"Pei Shiju, what are you arguing about?" Cushman & Wakefield directly called names.

Pei Shiju smiled bitterly: "Minister...... Fang Cai had some disputes with Yan Sheren......"

"What?"

Yan Zhitui was a little reluctant to let everyone be reprimanded, and took the initiative to say: "It's Weichen's fault, Weichen wants to record today's living notes before leaving, and Pei Sheren is worried about disturbing His Majesty's rest, so there is a dispute, the minister is guilty, and the minister is willing to receive punishment......"

Well, the attitude of admitting mistakes is still very positive......

Gao Wei didn't plan to pursue him, but Pei Shiju didn't have such a good time, "Pei Sheren, I just heard so much, what do you think?" ”

What do Pei Shiju dare to think? He is a sesame petty official, does he dare to speak like a cabinet boss? What if it's wrong? So Pei Shiju is very conflicted now.

"Why, don't you want to worry about me?"

In a word!

It's not going in, it's not going back, you can only fight!

Pei Shiju's heart beat violently, giving full play to his clever head, and suddenly a flash of inspiration, "Your Majesty, the minister has a way, maybe he can not only block the mouth of the Turkic envoy, but also prevent the princess from marry......ing far away."

Pei Shiju swallowed his saliva, he was really a dangerous move! If you bet right, you will be promoted and make a fortune, but if you bet wrong, your future will be worrying!

Sure enough, the lazy color on Gao Wei's face was swept away, and his eyes stared at him with burning eyes, "Say!" ”
