Secrets in the Imperial Study

Li Xiuzhu was a little disappointed in Su Chengcheng, although a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, but this is a bit stupid.

"First, you can think about it, you can ask, but you can't question it."

"First of all, we are our own people, we are a family."

"Second, you can find out that woman's lies as long as you think about them carefully, but she was led by the nose the whole time."

"Even if you really can't figure it out, you can ask us first, instead of subjective speculation."

Su Chengcheng looked at Li Xiuzhu blankly, then at his mother, and asked, "She lied?" ”

Su Ru held her head with one hand and sighed: "Cheng Cheng, didn't you find out?" ”

"The woman named Mingyue said that she and Xiuzhu had a private agreement for life, it was a year ago, but when I saw her in person, I didn't know Xiuzhu."

Yes, for this alone, Nalan Mingyue's lies are self-defeating.

At this moment, Su Chengcheng suddenly knew that he had wronged Li Xiuzhu, and he was also guilty in his heart.

"I'm sorry Brother Xiuzhu, I was wrong."

"Hmm." Li Xiuzhu didn't comfort him, but just answered and continued: "Think about it, what are you going to do if I really do this?" ”

"If you can't stand on my side unconditionally, you might as well be a sister."

At this moment, Su Chengcheng was extremely uncomfortable, but he did not refute.

Anyway, it was a foregone conclusion, and she thought about it instead.

When the carriage arrived at the Hou Mansion, Li Xiuzhu was not in a hurry to bring people in, but instructed the old horse: "Old horse, go to the city gate to see whose carriage has entered in front of our carriage." ”

"Go ahead and check three or five."

Lao Ma also heard what Li Xiuzhu said just now, although he didn't really listen to it.

So although the old horse didn't understand, he still nodded in response.

"Yes, uncle, I'll go check it out."

Li Xiuzhu looked at Su Ru and Su Chengcheng at this time.

"Let's go, let's go in."

When Su Chengcheng heard this, he suddenly spoke: "Brother Xiuzhu." ”

"Huh?"

Su Chengcheng raised his head, looked at Li Xiuzhu seriously and said, "Brother Xiuzhu, I have thought clearly, Cheng Cheng is indeed wrong. ”

"From my brother's point of view, if the person I like the most doubt me, I can't stand it."

"And even if I do something wrong, I want the person who loves me to stand by my side, not hurt me from the other person's stand."

"Help relatives first and then take care of them, this is what it feels like to be at home."

Li Xiuzhu nodded with satisfaction.

"Go in, Yunshuang, Baguio, Langyue and Yuehua are all waiting for you."

The former of these four people had a good relationship with Su Chengcheng, and the latter also shook hands with Su Chengcheng and got along well.

"Uh-huh!"

As soon as the three of them entered the courtyard, Fu Yunshuang and the others saw the three of them in the front yard.

Yunshuang: "Sister Cheng Cheng, you're fine." ”

Lang Yue: "Cheng Cheng, welcome home." ”

Baguio: "I'm thinner, and I look better." ”

Fu Yuehua: "This will be your home in the future." ”

Although the other women did not speak, they all nodded in acknowledgement.

At this moment, Su Chengcheng felt unprecedented warmth.

Li Xiuzhu looked at it and smiled: "Why are they all in the front yard?" What if we don't come back today? ”

Fu Yunshuang smiled when she heard this.

"We all thought that my brother-in-law would come back, and we didn't wait, we played cards."

"Where to fight or not, I can see Sister Cheng Cheng a little earlier here."

"By the way, brother-in-law and Sister Cheng Cheng, you haven't eaten yet, I asked people to reserve the ingredients, and you can eat them right away."

Li Xiuzhu quipped when he heard this: "Yunshuang is really becoming more and more like a housekeeper's wife." ”

"Don't say it, I set off in the morning, it's been three hours, and I'm really hungry."

At the same time, the Imperial Study

At this time, the imperial study was a bit lively, not only the prince was there, but three of the six servants were there, plus Fu Wenhan, the prime minister, and Gao Taiwei.

"Half an hour ago, the Silla envoy entered Beijing."

"According to the spy report, my princess is also here, what do you think about this matter?"

Several people glanced at each other, Fu Wenhan thought for a moment and said first: "It seems that Silla is not just a simple surrender, otherwise a princess should not be allowed to come." ”

At this time, Tian Yi, the squire of the military department, shook his head and stepped forward and said, "According to the report of the spies, the three adult princes of the king of Silla were all killed by us, and the only youngest son who exists is less than ten years old. ”

"Surrender is a big deal, but the words of the envoy are not enough to show humility, so it is normal for the princess to come."

Sun Jingyang, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, stepped forward and said, "Lord Tian's analysis is reasonable, but we also have to make other preparations. ”

"If the other party wants to marry, who should be chosen to marry, is it Your Majesty or the prince?"

"How much should the bride price be given, and how should it be given."

"Everyone knows that Silla is now suffering from natural and man-made disasters, and what they want must be not small, so the minister thinks that marriage is very likely."

Li Kuo nodded when he heard this.

"Then let's treat the other party as preparing for marriage, be prepared."

"Prince, do you think we should marry?"

Hearing this, Li Chengze stepped forward and said calmly: "Erchen thinks that whether or not to marry depends on whether the father intends to keep Silla. ”

Li Kuo's expression moved, and he was very satisfied with this answer.

"Oh, tell me what you think."

Li Chengze was not stupid, as the emperor's successor, he was qualified in everything except for the rabbit master, and when he heard this, he said: "Silla is just surviving now. ”

"At this time, Silla was less than half of its heyday, and it was even shrouded in natural disasters."

"Maybe your lordships are a little disapproving, thinking that Silla will definitely be able to have more food if nearly two-thirds of the people were killed and killed."

"But in fact, when we captured the Silla women, we burned everything we could burn, and the cattle and sheep were also driven back."

"The local area of Silla is not only small and thin, but in their base camp, food and materials are not abundant."

"The second is that although our army has reached the Silla royal fortress, there has been no loss at all near the royal fortress."

"So they must still be in a difficult situation now, and it will be a disaster year."

"If the father doesn't want to keep Silla, then refuse to make peace, refuse to surrender, and take Silla in the spring."

"Father, that's all the sons and daughters can think of."

Li Kuo nodded with satisfaction and said, "What you said is right, but it is not so comprehensive. ”

"Taking Silla may not be as easy as we think."

"The so-called mourning soldiers will win, your brother-in-law's champion Hou is too ruthless and desperate."

"If we fight Silla again, they will think that we don't want male captives, but only kill and conquer."

"If Silla can be taken at that time, there will definitely be a lot of casualties, and I am afraid that there will be changes around Dazhou."

Saying that, Li Kuo looked at the ministers below and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Hearing this, Fu Wenhan said, "Your Majesty, the prince's analysis is also very accurate. ”

"I thought I could keep Silla first."
