When Zhou Jin's mood gradually calmed down, Su Shi sighed lightly and said to Lan'er, "You go down first." ”

Lan'er hurriedly got up, bowed down, lowered her head and retreated, and didn't forget to close the door when she left.

After Lan'er left, Zhou Jin also let go of his hand, took a few steps back with a red face, and then stood in front of the window helplessly.

Su Shi walked to the desk, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea, and after taking a sip, he slowly asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Zhou Jin vented just now, his mood had calmed down, and when he heard Su Shi mention the matter again, he looked out the window silently, and said gloomily after a long time: "I left the palace early today and didn't go back until after noon." After returning to the palace, I heard that the envoy of Hu in the capital entered the palace today to meet his father and the emperor, and reiterated the matter of the peace between Daqian and Hu Ting. ”

"When was the last time Hu Ren proposed a peace affair?"

Zhou Jin's face turned red again: "Three years ago, Hu Ting sent an envoy to Beijing to ask his father for marriage, but his father naturally refused and categorically refused. I didn't expect Hu Ting to bring up this matter again today. ”

Su Shi was puzzled in his heart, and couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty really has the intention of being friendly this time?" ”

Zhou Jin was silent for a long time, and there was a trace of sadness in his eyes: "When I went back to the palace and heard the news, I didn't care about it in my heart, I just thought that Hu Ren was a fool's dream." However, when I met my father, he seemed preoccupied and stared at me for a long time, as if he was hesitant in his heart. ”

At this time, Zhou Jin thought that his father was worried about political affairs, and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him: "Although the political affairs are heavy, please take care of your father's body." ”

Zhou Yi woke up as if in a dream, his face was solemn, and he said slowly: "Pingle, you should have heard that Hu Envoy entered the palace today, and then mentioned the matter of peace and affection. ”

Zhou Jin nodded indifferently: "It's just that the father and the emperor will refuse the Hu envoy, and the daughter will never marry into the Hu court." ”

However, Zhou Yi seemed to be in a dilemma, and his eyes flickered: "After Envoy Hu raised this matter, I summoned your two imperial brothers and Zuo Qing's family to discuss, and they all thought that making peace with Hu Ting was the best policy. ”

Zhou Jin only felt a buzz in his head, and the whole person almost couldn't stand, and Zhou Yi's words seemed to come from a distant horizon.

"Then Hu Ting Khan begged Yuanlu to let out his words, if Da Qian did not agree to make peace this time, it would be an intention to humiliate the Khan, Hu Ting will raise 300,000 troops to invade the country, and then Da Qian will shed blood into a river and lose his lives."

Hearing this, a huge sense of absurdity rose in Su Shi's heart, and he couldn't help laughing: "This khan is a seed of infatuation, and he actually did something that made him angry and angry. ”

Seeing that Su was still in the mood to laugh, Zhou Jin couldn't help but glance at him.

Su Shi was surprised: "Don't you think it's ridiculous? ”

Zhou Jin said quietly: "The war is about to start, I don't know where it's ridiculous." ”

"Isn't it strange that you don't think it's ridiculous?" Su Shi said with a strange face: "Raising 300,000 troops to invade Daqian, which is equivalent to fighting a national war, but the reason is that Daqian refuses to make peace, can this reason convince his soldiers?" ”

"Lord Zuo Xiangting also thinks that Qi Yuanlu said that the Xingbing army is mostly a fearful word, but he has to guard against it, but the eldest brother and the second emperor brother don't think so."

"What do they think?"

They thought that Hu Ting had actually invaded Daqian, but because his father was unwilling to start another war, he tolerated Hu Ting everywhere, so they couldn't find an excuse to go south. And the reason why Qi Yuanlu mentioned the matter of peace again should be expected that his father would refuse, so he could use this as an excuse to violate Daqian. ”

Su Shi's tone suddenly became cold: "So what? They think that by sacrificing you, a war can be avoided? ”

Zhou Jin muttered, "They think that this will at least not allow Qi Yuanlu to find an excuse to start a war. ”

Su Shi seemed to smile: "Actually, Qi Yuanlu should propose to let His Majesty send King Qi and King Zhao to Hu Ting as protons, so that I believe that he has a more sufficient excuse to start a war." ”

Speaking of this, Su Shi suddenly frowned: "No, there is a problem with this matter." ”

Zhou Jin hurriedly asked, "What's the problem?" ”

Su Shi pondered: "The eldest brother once talked to me about the situation around Daqian, and the eldest brother told me with certainty that within three years, no foreign enemy would dare to invade Daqian, including Hu Ting. ”

"The eldest brother and his father have been guarding the border for many years, so they naturally know Hu Ting's situation well, so his judgment should not be wrong."

Zhou Jin was overjoyed in his heart, and couldn't help but say: "So, that beggar Yuanlu is really just bluffing?" ”

However, Su Shi still frowned: "This kind of military situation should have been known to His Majesty for a long time, and I believe that your two imperial brothers and Lord Zuo should also know, why do they still agree to the matter of harmony?" Why did Your Majesty hesitate? ”

Zhou Jin's eyelids drooped, as if he had infinite emotion: "I can roughly guess what the reason is why the two imperial brothers agree to the matter of harmony." ”

Su Shi asked, "What is the reason?" ”

However, Zhou Jin didn't answer him, just a silence for a while.

Su Shi thought for a while, and suddenly sighed: "Is it because of me?" ”

At this time, the moonlight was like water, sprinkled on Zhou Jin's face, and her face showed deep tiredness.

"Three years ago, Qi Yuanlu proposed to make peace, in addition to his father, the two imperial brothers were also resolutely opposed, but now they will try their best to agree."

Su Shi said lightly: "Because three years ago, in addition to being their royal sister, you were still helping them make money, but now you are on the opposite side of them, so they naturally will no longer care about family affection." ”

Zhou Jin was confused again, and a look of panic appeared on his face: "Then what should I do now?" If Hu envoys enter Beijing to put pressure on their father, and the two imperial brothers fan the flames on the side, I am worried that my father will ......."

Su Shi suddenly interrupted her and asked, "How long does it take for Hu Envoy to come to the capital?" ”

"It will take at least a month for Hu Envoy to set off from Hu Ting to the capital."

"A month?" Su Shi's eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth showed a hint of unpredictable smile, making him look like a little fox.

"Interesting, but a month is enough."

Seeing Su Shi's expression, Zhou Jin was surprised and delighted in her heart, and she couldn't help asking, "Have you thought of a way?" ”

Su Shi smiled and said: "You can be your princess Pingle with peace of mind, if you want to enjoy the grassland scenery one day, I will take you there." ”

Even though Su Shi didn't answer her question directly, Zhou Jin saw Su Shi's calm face, as if he had taken a reassuring pill, and his heart was no longer hesitant and frightened, and Su Shi's words made her face red, but her heart was as sweet as eating honey.
