Chapter 257:-for-tat
For a moment, Li Sangruo almost burst into tears.
In fact, she didn't need others to tell her why Feng Twelve Niang was here, she had the answer in her heart.
It's Pei Zhen.
Pei Zhen took her with him, and he couldn't leave for a moment, Pei Zhen gave her this peace and security, so that she could sit in the ear room and drink fragrant tea in such a major event of the country, without fear of wind and rain.
She is the only one who is pitiful.
Without the protection of her husband, she still has a child under her knees......
It seems to be extremely noble, and he is cold, but in fact, his back is cold, and it is all disguise.
If you can, who wouldn't want a bird to be by the side of a loved one?
Li Sangruo looked at Feng Yun in a daze, and his eyes crossed the door of the main hall that was opened, trying to find the tall figure......
Tang Shaogong glanced at her with a bdifferent expression and lowered his eyes.
"Your Highness, the hour has come, and you should go in."
Li Sangruo secretly gritted his teeth, took two steps, and turned his head to look at it again.
"This Ao Qi, what's going on?"
A woman's intuition is very keen, and she can see that Ao Qi's courtesy to Feng Yun is far from being a nephew to an uncle.
Tang Shaogong glanced at it and remained silent, "He has been guarding Feng Twelve Niang for a while, and his feelings are different from others. β
"Why? It's as close as ......."
A pair of small mandarin ducks.
Li Sangruo didn't say it, and snorted, "Didn't Ao Qi just get engaged to Ah Zhi?" How can you do such a thing? β
Tang Shaogong: "His father and uncle are there. Why don't you discuss state affairs first? β
Ao Zheng and Pei Zheng are here, seeing that Ao Qi doesn't care like this, what does it have to do with others?
A sentence is neither salty nor light, which stabbed Li Sangruo's heart like suffocation.
This Tang Shaogong!
For her father's sake, she gave him a little thin noodles and called him "uncle", he really regarded himself as an uncle, and he wanted to discipline her at every turn, and didn't take her seriously......
If it weren't for the fact that there was no suitable person around him at the moment, Li Sangruo wouldn't want to see Tang Shaogong's face collecting debts at a glance.
It's still good to be Fang Fu, he will look at his face and please him......
Li Sangruo was so angry that his teeth itched, and he was a little deflated when he thought of Fang Fucai, who was imprisoned by Wei Zheng.
I can use Tang Shaogong now, put up with him first.
"The mourning family knows."
-
At this moment, Feng Ying was sitting in the ear room not far away.
What to say to the parliament, what disputes between the two countries are out of her control, and she will not think deeply.
All she could think of was what she saw.
saw that the envoy praised Feng Yun for his talent and lived up to the name of a prodigy.
I saw the laughter of the eldest uncle and the embarrassment of the father.
and Xiao Cheng.
When he looked at Feng Yun, there seemed to be a fire in his eyes, burning wildly, scorching brightly, but the expression on his face refused to show half a change, faintly, pretending to be like he really didn't care......
She wanted to laugh.
Third Brother Xiao will also have today, which is really unexpected to her.
Those who are sanctimonious, those who are cold and reserved, just because the people in front of them are not the people in their hearts?
Feng Ying closed her eyes slightly, "Ning Xiu, close the window." β
"It's not fair." Ning Xiu is the little steward of Fanghua Palace, and she is the most favored by Feng Ying, and she hummed in a low voice: "Twelve Niang is the wife of a courtier, but she can swagger and be prominent in front ......of people, the head of the family and the mansion are still polite to her, even the mansion has changed, and her eyes are not as good as before."
Feng Ying looked at her coldly.
Ning Xiu immediately shut up, seeing that the master's eyes were sad and not angry, she pursed her mouth again.
"She is a courtier, Mrs. is the emperor's wife, I don't know how much more noble than her, the monarch and the head of the family also want to be trained, why should they be polite to her? Madame can only sit here, why did Twelve Niang go out and show her face......"
With her husband to give her decency.
Feng Ying's mouth moved, swallowed back, and said lightly:
"If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person."
Feng Ying reprimanded Ning Xiu, and chuckled again at the end.
"She's my sister. She is glorious, and my face is shining. β
-
The hour has come.
The door to the main hall slammed shut.
The arguments between the two sides have been going on for a long time. Kind words, beautiful words in turn, that is, no one can convince anyone, and they are unwilling to give up Shinshu.
During this period, the servants served tea, and some people came out to change their clothes in the interval. For such an hour, the patience of both sides was exhausted, and the words gradually became sharper.
"My elite of the Great Jin Dynasty is all in the Beiyong Army, and now I am in Xinzhou. You have already fought a war, so why not fight again? If your country is not convinced, you can come back ......"
"The Beiyong Army is famous all over the world, and we admire it very much. I only heard that the treasury of the Jin court was depleted and the financial resources were scarce. The deterioration of people's morale is also an internal and external trouble. When it really comes, it is necessary to fight, the Jin side is under the siege of my 500,000 army, people eat horses and chew, I don't know how many days the grain and grass can be supported? β
"Humph! Talking about 500,000 troops in vain, losing a mess in Bingzhou, embarrassed to fight? said that the treasury of our dynasty is depleted, have you made up for the mess left by Emperor Yanping? β
"I have a fertile land, the people's aspirations, the money valley is abundant, the good man hates not to be afraid of death, the big deal is that the fish die and the net is broken, and then the nine clans die......"
"What a big breath. Among the Three Kingdoms, Qi has the largest population, and millions of people have to eat, are your nobles willing to support so many soldiers and so many civilian soldiers who can't eat enough? β
"Don't worry about it. Raise the whole country's troops to the Northern Expedition, and you will not have a peaceful birthday......"
"Then you have to think about it. The second battle is the battle to destroy the country. I can take peace in Dajin, I can take Andu, I can take Xinzhou, can't I take Taicheng? β
The envoys of the two sides came and went, deducing the way of the world and the survival of the country, arguing so much that their faces were red, their mouths were foaming, and when it came to the excitement, some people even stood up, pointed at each other's noses and scolded, and almost rolled up their sleeves to fight.
"Everyone, can you listen to meβ" Xiao Cheng said suddenly.
Facing the envoys of the Jin side, he stood up from the table, with one hand behind him, with a strategizing bearing.
"Meng Ziyun: Fight for land and kill people; Fight for the city, kill the city. This so-called cannibalism of the land is a sin that does not allow death. β
Looking around again, he said coldly.
"War, fighting for the emperor. Chaos, suffering is the common people. The wickedness of the people will kill one person. The evil of the monarch is full of corpses. Today, the two sides are sitting here together, in order to help the world and decline the weak, not to fight for the ability of the tongue. β
Everyone nodded frequently.
"Under the nest, how can there be eggs? If this war continues, neither country will benefit, and it should not be ......."
"Since neither side is willing to budge, I have a way to compromise."
The candle flame on the high platform illuminated Xiao Cheng's handsome face, a little pale and blurred, but the voice was calm and melodious.
"Everything in the world is a gift from the people. Why don't the two countries ask Providence together? See how God answers? β
The envoys on both sides looked at him.
Ao Zheng arched his hand and said: "What is Qi Jun's good plan, you might as well say it clearly?" β
Xiao Cheng glanced at Li Sangruo opposite, with a faint tone, a gentle face, and a slow pace of speech.
"The two sides bet on three questions. Win the second one, you win. How? β
The crowd was in an uproar.
The style of gambling in the Jin and Qi dynasties prevailed. From the princes and princes to the common people, it spreads like poison. The more chaotic the world, the more the gambling habit reaches its peak. People are precarious, so they seek timely pleasures, and even wander to avoid the difficulties of reality......
Xiao Jue, the Yanping Emperor of Qi State, is a person who loves gambling very much, and is so obsessed with promoting people who are good at gambling that they are extremely ridiculous.
Xiao Cheng is a righteous gentleman and has always been shameless.
After becoming emperor, he issued an edict prohibiting gambling with his wife and daughter as bargaining chips. β
Xiao Cheng smiled faintly: "In this way, the dispute can be settled and the friendship between the two countries can be reached." β
Qi Fang was silent.
The Jin side exchanged heads, some nodded, and some shook their heads.
Feng Jingyao said: "I have heard that your country can produce many people, and it is difficult for you to come......
Isn't this the method of agitation?
Li Sangruo smiled, "Qi Jun's proposal is excellent, but the mourning family wants to change the rules." β
Xiao Cheng chuckled lightly and raised his hand to signal, "Queen Mother, please speak." β
Li Sangruo glanced at his envoys, his gaze swept over Pei Zhen, and said lightly:
"Winning or losing, it will inevitably hurt the harmony. It's better to be like this, the winner, to get Shinshu. The loser may make a request to the winner. If you don't involve the land and don't do political affairs, within the scope of reason, the winning side should agree. β
It sounds reasonable and reasonable, so that both parties have face.
Pei Zhen's black pupils shrank slightly and looked at Xiao Cheng.
Xiao Cheng lowered his eyes and saluted, "The Queen Mother is merciful." β
Such a bold proposal, the two supreme rulers coincided, laughed and finalized, and the other envoys in the hall said a few words, and it was inconvenient to oppose it.
Li Sangruo said: "Who came up with the question?" β
Xiao Cheng smiled, "For the sake of fairness, the Jin side will come up with one question, the Qi side will come up with one question, and the remaining one question will be handed over to Yunchuan." β
Everyone's eyes fell on Chun Yuyan's hands.
His face was covered by a mask, and he couldn't see any reaction, but he didn't object.
Pei Xian sat quietly, calm as an outsider.
He has always been taciturn, and others don't think much about it, and he was immediately aroused by Xiao Cheng's proposed gamble, and discussed it with their own opinions......
In the end, both parties agreed that in order to give each other enough time to consider, the test game was scheduled for the next morning.
After the discussion, they all took their hands and came out of the main hall.
Feng Yun sat under the window of the ear room, looking at the crowd of people talking in twos and threes, and when everyone was gone, he found that Pei Yan had not come out yet.
"Where's your uncle?"
Ao Qi frowned, "Go over and take a look." β
Feng Yun glanced at her, gently tugged at her skirt, and Shi Shiran walked out of the ear room.
Feng Ying came over, stood under the porch and waited for Xiao Cheng, saluted when she saw her, and then stepped forward to wait affectionately, and greeted Xiao Cheng warmly.
Xiao Cheng glanced at it, his dark eyes were deep, but he didn't say much.
Feng Yun walked over without squinting, as if he didn't see them, and followed Ao Qi slowly.
Unexpectedly, at the door of the main hall, he was stopped by two guards with horizontal knives.
Tang Shaogong slowly came out of the room, cold and cold.
"The general is talking to His Highness, Madame." (End of chapter)
