The next morning, the crown prince announced the results of this envoy to Dayuan, affirming the merits of Gu Zhouzhu and Ji Yunchen, and the officials were shocked.

Yesterday, it was only said that Gu Zhouzhu and others had made great contributions, and only a few officials knew how much credit they had, and now they learned that Gu Zhouzhu and Ji Yunchen actually took back the four cities without spending a single soldier, and the annual tribute was halved, and Dayuan also made a promise not to meet with the Great Qi soldiers within ten years.

Even if Dayuan has never kept his promises, but the return of the four cities to Dayuan is real, Ji Yunchen is already handling the handover, and the halving of the annual tribute is also real, but unfortunately, this year's annual tribute has been sent out, and it will be sent a few days later if I knew it.

The officials of the household department were happy in their hearts, no wonder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked them to put the annual tribute in advance, which directly saved one million taels, and suddenly felt that their pockets were thicker.

At this time, Gu Zhou stopped out of the column: "Your Royal Highness, this time the envoy to Dayuan can go so smoothly, the lord of Qingping County should be the first to take the lead, the chief doctor of Qingping County is clever, and he cured Prince Tudor's strange illness, and it is also the county lord of Qingping who took great risks to send Prince Tudor back to Wuda City to help Duye Khan quell the civil strife." ”

He knew that Jiang Wanning didn't want to take credit, but the facts were the facts, and he couldn't do anything to take credit.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said in his heart, both of you are too humble.

"Lord Gu is reasonable, the chief doctor of Qingping County has opened the way, the hussar general is deterred by force, Lord Gu, you are strategizing and leading the overall situation, and if you miss any link, you can't achieve great success."

"The prince's words are wrong, we are just doing things according to His Highness's orders, and it is His Highness who really plans to lead the overall situation, and it is His Highness who is far-sighted and far-reaching."

The officials were surprised, Master Gu, who has always shown himself as an upright person, actually began to pat himself on the back, and he also filmed such righteous words.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince laughed.

Everyone on this mission was duly rewarded, Gu Zhouzhu was promoted to Taifu, Ji Yunchen was named Anhou, and at the same time announced that Jiang Wanning was the princess of Chiayi, and the others were either promoted to a higher level or received a rich reward.

Everyone is envious, and they dare not disagree, but if they change to themselves, they are afraid that they will not be able to give you such an opportunity, and they will not be able to achieve such results.

Gu Zhou stopped restarting negotiations with Dashu.

This time, the Dashu side did not dare to bargain anymore, and honestly put Sun Zhao back, let it go back to Longshan, and made a huge amount of compensation, Gu Zhouzhu counted the pox epidemic in the spring on Dashu, saying that Shen Jingshan had admitted that he was ordered to spread the pox epidemic.

The envoys of Dashu want to cry without tears, anyway, no matter how much there is in Daqi now, they have to pinch their noses and admit it.

The only thing they got was that Daqi was willing to release Princess Lingxi back.

Negotiations that dragged on for months ended in a resounding victory.

Dashu steals chickens and rice, and his vitality is greatly damaged, and he does not dare to make small moves for a long time.

Jiang Wanning's canonization ceremony was very grand, which fully demonstrated the royal family's attention to Jiang Wanning, and at the ceremony, the emperor also issued two decrees for marriage, one for Jiang Wanning and Gu Zhou, and the other for Ji Yunchen and Shang Yu.

Gu Zhou stopped happily accepting the order, but Ji Yunchen was reluctant.

He had just come back, and he had come to watch the ceremony today, but he didn't know that a disaster came and hit him on the head.

No one had told him about the marriage before.

Ji Yunchen stared at her mother depressedly with the holy decree, Princess Changping only didn't see it, and laughed and talked with the queen.

After the ceremony was completed, Ji Yunchen was about to go to find his mother, but was pulled away by Gu Zhou.

"Her Royal Highness the princess is with the queen right now, what are you going to do? Resisting the decree in front of the queen? ”

"It's me who is taking a wife, why doesn't anyone ask me for my thoughts?" Ji Yunchen said angrily.

"Ask for your ideas, can this thing be done?"

"Gu Zhouzhu, you have married the person you like, and you got what you wanted, if the emperor forced you to give you a woman that you are not familiar with, what do you think?"

"Then I will definitely not agree, I will have to resist the marriage on the spot, and I will never accept the order." Gu Zhou stopped and looked at the holy decree in Ji Yunchen's hand.

Ji Yunchen is so angry, this guy is ridiculing him for having the heart to resist the will, but he doesn't have the courage to resist the will.

"I'm here for the emperor."

"Now that you have given face, do you want to return it? Don't you still make the emperor unhappy? Don't take it in the first place! ”

Ji Yunchen was speechless by him, hated himself for being soft-hearted for a while, and took a hot potato.

"I think it's good, Miss Shang Yu is very good, and anyone who can make Wan Ning treat each other as sisters will not be bad, Wan Ning is very accurate in seeing people." Gu Zhou stopped and comforted.

Ji Yunchen and Shang Yu are also a good match.

"You think she's good, you can marry her." Ji Yunchen said stupidly.

"Don't say this kind of scoundrel words, if you really want to withdraw from the marriage, think of a perfect strategy, you know, this is not only a matter of the face of the saint, but also about the face of the Rongguo Mansion, the Rongguo Mansion and your Ji family are world friends, the Rongguo Mansion has a great prestige in the court, when you were asked to lead the Beidaying and form the Tiger Army, the Rongguo Gong played an important role in it, you yourself weigh it yourself, of course, if you feel that the fact of this marriage is difficult to accept, I support you."

Hearing Gu Zhouzhu say this, Ji Yunchen felt a little better, and his mood gradually calmed down.

His mother's trick forced him to have no way out, he was naturally annoyed, but it had happened, it was useless for him to be annoyed, and it was impossible for him to withdraw the marriage without offending the emperor and the Rongguo Mansion.

Ji Yunchen had one head and two big, and the joy of taking back the four cities was gone.

Gu Zhou stopped persuading him to go home first to calm down, but Ji Yunchen went to the barracks, and now he will definitely quarrel with his mother when he goes home.

Gu Zhou stopped outside the palace and waited for a long time before Jiang Wanning came out of the palace.

Seeing Gu Zhou waiting for her, Jiang Wanning smiled and said, "If I don't come out, won't you wait in vain?" The queen mother still wants to stay in Fengzao Palace for a few days! ”

Gu Zhou stopped laughing and said, "I know you will come out, we have a soul." ”

"Who's got to know you?" Jiang Wanning glanced at him.

"Get in the car."

"Where?"

"Go to my house, my mother wants to see you."

"Does my aunt want to see me, or do you want me to see her?"

"Both."

Jiang Wanning smiled: "Then let's go." ”

Sooner or later, the ugly daughter-in-law will have to see her in-laws.

On the way, Jiang Wanning asked Ji Yunchen: "I see that his face is wrong, is he very resistant to this marriage?" ”

Gu Zhou stopped and sighed: "He is not resisting this marriage, he is resisting all marriages." ”

Jiang Wanning could understand Ji Yunchen's thoughts: "Shang Yu is very good, the family is prominent and reasonable, but the imperial aunt should not hide it from him, cut first and then play, which will arouse his rebellious psychology." ”

"I persuaded him to stop him, and I asked him to calm down first and think clearly before making a decision."

"Where is he now?"

"I'm going to the barracks."

Jiang Wanning thought for a while: "Another day, I will ask Shang Yu to come out, you call Ji Yunchen, give them a chance to get along alone, so that they can understand each other better. ”
