March 17.

Zhu Qiyu didn't get up until noon, and when he got up, he had nothing to do, so he had to fish by the lake leisurely.

I fished until the afternoon, and I thought I would have a good time today. Unexpectedly, the little girl ran over to call someone again.

Zhu Qiyu put down the fishing rod and went out to the pavilion, and saw that Chen Xun, Wang Wen and others had already arrived neatly this time.

Seeing the emperor coming in, Chen Xun immediately replied: "Your Majesty, it's not good, something is wrong." ”

Zhu Qiyu reluctantly reassured: "Don't be surprised, something big is worth your panic." ”

Chen Xun replied eagerly: "Your Majesty, King Xiang met a Miao thief on the way back, and the whole family was unfortunately captured. ”

"Captured?"

Chen Xun nodded: "It's captured, and the whole family is captured." Now the Miao people have sent a letter to the imperial court, asking the army to stop the encirclement and suppression, and the emperor's envoy to go to the peace talks. Otherwise, King Xiang's entire family will not be spared. ”

When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he replied weakly: "Okay, then let's talk about peace." Isn't Yang Shan able to speak well, let him be a special envoy and make meritorious contributions. ”

Most of the people present were inexplicable by the emperor's calm attitude. This is the prince captured, and he is also the closest vassal king to the imperial family, and the emperor is neither surprised nor anxious, what kind of attitude is this?

In fact, Zhu Qiyu was not surprised, it was really because he had been mentally prepared, and the Xiangwang family was only captured, it was better to die than to live, at least it was much better than being killed.

As for Zhu Qiyu not being in a hurry, it will be simpler, King Xiang is Xuanzong's younger brother and the emperor's uncle, what does it have to do with me, the son of Concubine Wu and the heir of Empress Hu.

His family has lived in his family, and my family has lived in my family, and it is already very good that I am willing to send a minister to redeem him, and I must not be so sad that I cry bitterly.

After appointing a special envoy for peace talks, Zhu Qiyu ordered everyone to disperse on the grounds of physical fatigue.

Chen Xun and the others looked at each other, and before they could talk about it, they dispersed? Everyone ran from the city to the western suburbs, and the road was bumpy for almost two hours, just to listen to the emperor's words?

So Chen Xun asked again: "What conditions can be promised to the Miao people, and please ask the saint to show me." ”

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "You cabinet scholars and six scholars will discuss it together." After discussing the results, just write me a notebook, and if you have nothing to do, you don't have to run to the western suburbs, otherwise you will be very tired. ”

After that, Zhu Qiyu flicked his sleeves and ran away.

The ministers didn't dare to pull the emperor, so they had to surround He Yi and ask, "What's wrong with the Holy One today?" Why do you seem so upset? ”

He Yi replied helplessly: "The Holy Lord has been busy doing business recently, and giving birth to the prince as soon as possible is the top priority now."

What do you want the saint to do about King Xiang's affairs? You can't tie up the saint and send it to Miao Jiang to replace King Xiang. ”

Everyone thought about it, and the most important thing now is to give birth to a few princes as soon as possible, so that everyone's hearts can be settled.

And in the heart of every Wenchen, there is a dream to Jun Yaoshun.

The ideal state for everyone is that the emperor can create people in the harem with peace of mind, and the ministers of Zaifu will carry out the order as soon as the power is in hand.

Therefore, Zhu Qiyu hid at home and was at ease, which was also what the ministers were happy to see.

But the contradiction lies in the fact that King Xiang's family must be properly rescued, and there must be no room for mistakes.

If the rescue strategy is discussed by everyone, if something goes wrong, who should be responsible?

Zhu Qiyu was the first to run away on the grounds of creating people. He Yi used the emperor's other secret errand as an excuse to run away the second.

The rest of Chen Xun, Wang Wen, Jiang Yuan, He Wenyuan and others discussed for half an hour, and found that it was still not possible without an emperor.

Most things, without the emperor's decision, there is no way to make a decision.

For example, the Miao people asked the Ming army to stop the encirclement and suppression, did the court agree or not? If you don't agree, King Xiang's family will die, and it will be a big problem. If it is agreed, the 200,000 Ming army, the deployment of the past year will be all invalid?

Except for the emperor, who would dare to make such a decision.

In the past, when encountering things, Zhu Qiyu was often arbitrary, making his own decisions and bearing all the consequences, and the ministers looked very relaxed.

Now that Zhu Qiyu has left it alone, everyone has realized that that responsibility is not so easy to shoulder, and the pressure is far greater than everyone imagined.

In the end, there was no way, everyone looked at Wang Wen.

Wang Wen and He Yi, these are the two people who know the emperor best, and they are also the two people who dare to take responsibility the most. He Yi ran away, and everyone could only watch Wang Wen.

Wang Wen was also unambiguous, and gave everyone a very positive plan: "The most important thing now is to redeem King Xiang." Whatever the Miao people want, we will give them.

Then prepare a copy of the various articles and suggestions and present them to the Holy One. It is up to the Holy One to decide whether it passes or not. ”

Everyone listened stupidly, what the Miao people wanted, they gave them? Is this plan possible for the emperor to pass? Wang Wen, who is the best at figuring out the Sacred Heart, will give this a strategy?

Chen Xun was also infected by the emperor, and said with a wry smile to everyone: "Just do what Qianzhi said, anyway, there is a holy gate in the end, even if we do it wrong, it doesn't matter." ”

said that Zhu Qiyu returned to the room, lay down on the bed hard, and then covered his face and began to sigh.

The favorite concubine hurriedly gathered around and asked what was wrong.

Zhu Qiyu smiled bitterly: "He Xingyi, the great god, has jumped, and the Xiangwang family has all become captives of the Miao people, and I have to pay huge benefits to redeem them."

The war in Miaojiang is about to go on. ”

Even a little girl like Ning Xiang understood this question: "Isn't it a big loss for my husband, our family is extremely bad with the Xiangwang family." At this time, the husband not only had to pay a huge price to redeem people, but also had to watch King Xiang's family return to Changsha unscathed. ”

Zhu Qiyu asked Lin Xiangyu again: "What do you think?" ”

Lin Xiangyu said with a smile: "He Xingyi has long told you that something may happen to King Xiang, but the husband has always had an indifferent attitude and took his words as a deaf ear.

According to the Nu family's guess, the reason why the husband is indifferent is because you are definitely not the one who suffers. ”

Zhu Qiyu smiled when she heard this: "You little girl, you can be regarded as understanding human nature." I am 100% sure that it is absolutely impossible for the Xiangwang family to be released unscathed.

I'll also give you a big dance to see, now I dare to assert that the Miao people will definitely do something to the fertility of the Xiangwang family. ”

"Huh? Is there any basis for what the husband said? ”

"Yes, because Wang Ji and others castrated the young Miao people privately, and after the castration was completed, they were not reported to the court like the Marquis of Ningyang, but kept them for private support.

The Miao people hated this matter greatly. Now that the prince has been caught, he will definitely choose the other way and give back to him.

Although they didn't dare to do such an unseemly thing as castration, it was not difficult to use some means to make the men of Xiangwang's family infertile and infertile.

King Xiang has no grandson, and now he and his son are all in the hands of the Miao people, once they lose their fertility, it means that King Xiang's branch can only be passed on for two generations, and they will be exterminated from the country, which is definitely more cruel than killing them. ”
