In the main hall.

The lights are dim, and the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace has entered the second half.

Li Zhaoyang, the young emperor of Daji, sat behind the dragon case, on which were placed exquisite dishes and a pot of fine wine.

He frowned, pinched the wine glass in his fingers, put it between his nose and sniffed it, and listened to the chatter of the ministers who were not yet drunk during the banquet.

I was talking about negotiations with the State of Chu.

The battle of Yunzhou ended with our side capturing Chu Yan, the sixth prince of Chu State, alive, and the Chu army withdrawing from Yunzhou, and this battle was a great victory for our army!

After the war, the negotiations between the two countries were put on the agenda, the two sides fought with each other, pulled each other, our side took Chu Yan as a threat, opened his mouth to the lion of Chu State, and asked the other party for a sky-high compensation, but the envoys of Chu State were not jealous, and they did not let go, and the negotiations reached a deadlock for a while.

"If this king wants to say, if the Chu State does not agree to our conditions, let's make this matter clear, let several countries, let the people of the whole world see the ugly face of the Chu State, they secretly sent troops into our Daji territory, and lost the battle, they are still reasonable?"

These few words were said by Li Wei, the king of Guangling, who was only fifteen years old.

Since the fall of Li Yu, the king of Yan, is not in the limelight, the most popular in the capital is this little prince, and he wants to inherit the name of Li Yu Xiaoyao King.

Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, how could he not come to participate.

"That's it, what the little prince said is right, if Chu Guo doesn't agree, let's make this matter clear and see where Chu Guo's face goes."

As soon as Li Wei's words fell, several ministers were busy patting him on the back, for fear that he would be one step behind others and not be noticed by Li Wei.

In this regard, Emperor Yongxing just smiled, took a sip of wine, and did not express any opinion.

It would be nice if this matter could be handled on the bright side, and there would be no need to be so troublesome.

Today, relations between several countries are very delicate.

In the south, Wu and Chu have a good relationship, like wearing a pair of pants.

Daji and Qin in the north, although they have been mortal enemies for a hundred years, have eased their relations in recent years, after all, everyone respects the Li family of the imperial family.

As for the other small countries, it is entirely the role of the wall.

The state of Chu has long had the intention of dominating the world, and testing in Yunzhou is the first step.

Although Daji won on the battlefield of Yunzhou, he won miserably, and the cost of winning was extremely great, and the entire Yunzhou was almost destroyed.

At this time, because the state of Chu refused to pay, he made this matter clear and put it in front of several countries, did he want everyone to help Daji denounce the state of Chu?

Relying on the advantages of the armor, the Qin State is estimated to say two fair words.

How many other countries?

I guess I don't even dare to fart.

What if this matter completely annoys the Chu State and people send troops to fight?

So.

It's hard to do this, it's hard to get to the sky.

You need to strike that delicate balance.

Emperor Yongxing was very angry, to be exact, he was extremely angry!

Obviously, it was their own side that won the battle, so why should they even ask for compensation?

There is no such truth in the world.

But what can he do?

Zhou Mi, who was in charge of negotiating with the Chu State, meant that he would be in a stalemate with the envoy in charge of the negotiation with the Chu State for a few more days, and if the Chu State still refused to let go, he would lower the conditions until the other party agreed.

Although Emperor Yongxing is unwilling, who can have a better way to do this?

What if Chen Chaolai did this?

What will he do?

A bold idea suddenly appeared in Emperor Yongxing's mind. What if it wasn't Zhou Mi who was in charge of negotiating with the Chu State, but the Chen Dynasty?

With Chen Chao's temperament, he naturally refuses to suffer, will he ask for more compensation?

Emperor Yongxing thought about it and frowned.

Chen Chao was afraid that in front of the envoys of the Chu State, he would put a knife on the neck of Chu Yan, the sixth prince of the Chu State, and threatened: "Say it quickly, do you agree?" If you don't agree with the original appearance, you will cut off the heads of your six princes. ”

"Count three numbers in this phase, you guys hurry up and decide."

"Three, two......"

Poof, Emperor Yongxing couldn't help but laugh loudly, Chen Chao estimated that he would really do this.

This is also the reason why he negotiated with Chu State and did not let Chen Chao interfere.

Emperor Yongxing was afraid, afraid that the Chen Dynasty would really slaughter Chu Yan with a knife.

Emperor Yongxing suddenly couldn't help laughing, and the eunuch standing on his side chuckled in his heart, thinking to himself what was wrong with the emperor?

Do you think that the suggestion of Li Wei, the king of Guangling, is too unreliable?

Emperor Yongxing laughed for no reason after the dragon case, and the ministers present at the banquet frequently turned their heads to look, and then pursed their lips to ponder, secretly figuring out the emperor's intentions.

After a long time, Emperor Yongxing stopped laughing, raised his throat and drank the wine in the cup, and his expression slowly calmed down.

After thinking for a moment, Emperor Yongxing was about to speak, but he suddenly heard the eunuch outside the palace shouting at the top of his voice: "The prime minister has arrived!" ”

In the main hall, beside the emperor, the Empress Dowager Murong Yue participated in the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, waiting from noon to the present, just to see the person she cared about.

But after waiting for a day, no one from the Prime Minister's Mansion entered the palace to attend the banquet.

Now he is sleepy, and his head sinks and sinks, like a chicken pecking rice.

The words of the prime minister sounded in his ears, and Murong Yue suddenly came to his senses, stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes vigorously, and looked in the direction of the palace gate like everyone in the hall.

Chen Chao happened to walk in with a smile on his face.

"Minister, see Your Majesty!" As usual, Chen Chao leaned over and bowed to Emperor Yongxing without kneeling.

Emperor Yongxing's face was flat, and he said: "Yafu is late, but he has to punish himself for three cups." ”

After fighting with Chen Chao for so long, Emperor Yongxing has not won a single game.

Now I can only get some face on this, and it would be good to let Chen Chao drink three glasses of wine.

Chen Chao didn't care and punished himself three times.

During this period, the smile on his face did not decrease.

"Father, what great joy has come your way? So happy? After Chen Chao sat down, Emperor Yongxing asked casually.

Chen Chao looked in the direction of the Empress Dowager Murong Yue and said, "Thank you for the words given by Your Majesty, there is indeed a great joy today, my wife is pregnant." ”

Emperor Yongxing opened his mouth wide in astonishment.

Giving words? What word to give?

Give it to Chen Chao and his concubines, a hundred years of good together, and give birth to a noble son early?

He just wanted to simply disgust Chen Chao.

Why, Chen Chao said that his wife was pregnant?

"Pregnant? Which lady? Emperor Yongxing asked casually.

The concubine who was just accepted a few days ago was pregnant so soon?

"Of course it's the minister's wife, Song!"

Chen Chao replied.

Hearing this, the corners of Emperor Yongxing's mouth couldn't help twitching, and he scolded secretly.

Depend on!

Chen Chao is going to have a child again.

Chen Chao is already a winner in life, power and wealth are in his hands, the only unsatisfactory thing is that there are fewer children under his feet, and there is only one baby girl for so many years.

But now, Chen Chao's wife is pregnant again.

If this fetus is a son, Chen Chao is estimated to be happy.

As soon as the words fell, the minister of the full hall stood up and congratulated.

Chen Chao responded one by one, and said that when the child was born in the full moon, he would do a big event, so that everyone would come and be happy.

The Queen Mother was mixed in with many ministers, and she also congratulated Chen Chao, and her emotions were more sincere and heartfelt than other people's words.
