"Hmph, it seems that you are still very honest, did you also incorporate that old witch Zhang this time?"

Cao Feiyan's face was so gloomy that she was about to drip water, her eyes glared at the prince fiercely, and she gritted her teeth.

"Ouch Niangniang, where did I say this, it seems that I am just an idle, hungry disciple, looking for flowers and willows all day long, as long as it is a mother, I will pounce on it, I am actually needed for the great cause." Yuan Zhi hurriedly defended.

"It's a great cause, it seems that this palace is also a pawn of your grand cause."

The prince spoke carelessly and leaked his mouth, and was caught by the queen's mother.

"Ouch, Niangniang is more and more outrageous, as if I am a ruthless and unrighteous treacherous villain, I am just the prince of the prison country with a clear distinction between public power and private weapons, please Niangniang don't be surprised, let alone substitute casually, Yuan Zhi begs you."

The prince hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Okay, this palace has not had time to talk to you these days, tomorrow my eldest brother's coffin will arrive at the house, there are a lot of things in the mourning hall, there should be no fewer people in the house, and my sister-in-law will also return to the house, I have to accompany her well and persuade her."

"Regarding a series of matters such as the Cao Mansion handing over the underground money bank to the new regime, the palace can negotiate on behalf of the Cao Mansion, but in the end, the prince needs a written guarantee, which should be signed and signed by you and Cao Xiang in person."

Cao Feiyan threw out the last question, which is also the most thorny.

Oh yes, Cao Thief also asked Lao Tzu to issue a written guarantee, as if I surrendered to him.

Do your dreams.

However, if you don't agree to this, is it forcing them to rebel?

He didn't have a holy edict in his hand, and he couldn't let Qianniuwei rush in and destroy his family.

Yuan Zhi's head turned rapidly, and he suddenly had an idea.

"That's it, Niangniang, please tell Xiangye, just say that I can issue a "Memorandum of Reconciliation" The content is what we talked about today, I immediately asked people to draw it up, send someone to send it to Cao's Mansion, if it's no problem, please copy it in duplicate, within these two days, I will go to Cao's Mansion to meet with Xiangye to sign, and by the way, pay tribute to General Yanchun, how about it?"

Although Cao Feiyan is not clear about the connotation of the new term 'memorandum of settlement', it still makes sense to understand it literally.

There is no basis for the words, but there is a written evidence, whether it is a guarantee or a memorandum, it is this meaning.

"Okay, this matter is settled, if it's okay, this palace has to prepare to drive Cao Mansion, there are still many matters waiting to be dealt with."

Cao Feiyan gave an eviction order.

"Then Yuan Zhi will retire first."

The crown prince immediately got up, arched his hands and turned to leave the Shulan Palace.

The queen sent Jasper to deliver it.

The two flirted with each other, and Biyu was extremely excited in her heart, because the prince had once again defeated the queen.

The crown prince reconciled with the queen, and of course Jasper couldn't ask for it.

Because in the future, she will have more opportunities to be with the prince, and her importance to both parties will be more prominent.

……

East Palace, West Study.

"Your Highness, Guo Dasima is asking to see you outside the gate." The autumn breeze said softly.

"What? Guo Shuai has arrived, please. When the prince heard that Guo Wei was back, he shouted excitedly.

After a while, Guo Wei walked in and knelt on his knees and bowed.

"Minister Guo Wei knocked to see His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Hurry up, please Aiqing, this is the study room, not the palace of diligence, free of gifts, give you a seat."

Yuan Zhi also got up from the armchair behind the desk, took Guo Wei's hand, and sat down together in the living room behind the screen.

The guests and hosts sat down in order, and the palace maids served tea and palace snacks.

"When did Aiqing arrive in the capital, did she return home?"

"As soon as I entered the imperial city, I first went to the military hall to meet Wen Ruyu and other generals, and arrived at the East Palace in a moment."

Guo Wei said excitedly.

After leaving the capital for more than half a year, there were two major incidents here, such as the military admonition and the assassination of Xiaohu Mountain in the Inner Palace, which were very dangerous at that time, and Guo Wei still has palpitations when he talks about it.

Fortunately, they were all saved by the prince.

There are six more days, which is the wedding day of the prince and Xiuniang, Guo Wei is on the way back to Beijing, and he is patrolling the local army and border defense while walking.

The military strength of the Western Regions was handed over to his eldest son Guo Rui and the general Yang Yunyu in front of the tent.

When he arrived at Yanmen Pass, he stopped for a few days and explained some matters to He Chengtian, the guard of Yanmen Pass.

The northern frontier of the Final Jin Empire was currently safe, as the Eastern Turks were vassal states supported by the Final Jin Dynasty.

The Western Regions, including the Western Turks, the Tuvassal States, etc., are not at peace, and these places will be war outbreak areas in the next step.

And Yanmen Pass is crucial.

The western and northern borders of the empire were stable, and the new regime of the crown prince had the energy to deal with the powerful Jiangnan feudal king.

The next step is to cut the feudal domain.

"Oh, don't be in a hurry to see Lonely, so you can briefly talk about the situation in the Western Regions, and then go back to the house to take a good bath, and meet with Mrs. and Xiuniang, I haven't seen you for more than half a year, and they are very worried about you."

Yuan Zhi was disgusted.

"Yes, the minister will simply report it..."

Then, Guo Wei took out a map from his bag and told the prince about the Western Regions.

Yuan Zhi listened very carefully, and raised some of his own questions from time to time, and the two really discussed it.

"You said that Cao Zhijun of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate has been suspended by you for investigation and came back to ask for Gu's opinion, right?"

"Yes."

"Put him back in the Guazhou military camp for the time being, and demote him."

Yuan Zhi told Guo Wei about the Cao Mansion's preparation to surrender to the East Palace this time, and Guo Wei supported it.

"This is great, once Cao Qichang gives up his original reactionary stance, it will inevitably have a great impact on Xicheng and northern Xinjiang, and those people in the traitorous camp will fall apart if they lose their backbone all of a sudden."

"And those who were originally on the sidelines will naturally fall to the side of the new crown prince's new regime, and our control will increase a lot, only when the north is stable, and then clean up the Central Plains, and finally deal with Jiangnan."

Hearing this, the prince kept nodding his head and saying yes.

"Gu is a little worried about Cao Qichang's descendants, once they accept Gu's recruitment and reconcile with the new regime, will his children and grandchildren accept it? For example, Cao Yanchun's eldest son, Cao Zewei, more than ten days have passed, and there is no news of him on the rivers and lakes, as if he is missing. ”

"Didn't he contact Cao Fu?" Guo Wei wondered.

"No, according to Ji Hong's shadow report in Cao Mansion, Cao Mansion also sent out a lot

People are looking around, and they are also offering rewards on the rivers and lakes, and they can provide Cao Zewei's news and reward.

There is no news yet. ”

"This is very abnormal, there is no news of him on either side of the Dark Guard and the Bloody Hand Gate, which is not normal in itself."

Yuan Zhi's eyebrows tightened, and he said with some worry.

"Could it be that something happened to him?"

"Not really."

Yuan Zhi stroked his beard and told Guo Wei a few points of his doubts.
