Chapter 890: Negotiation and Marriage

The early dynasty of Jingguo has long been reduced to a formality. To maintain the operation of the imperial court, there are three provinces and six ministries, in fact, there is no need for an emperor, some major decisions, the people below cannot decide, and the eldest princess can not decide, even the eldest princess can't decide, so you need to ask the old emperor what he means.

On the first day of the new month, the ceremonial early dynasty, if there is nothing very important, the old emperor will only appear for a short time.

Her Royal Highness the Auxiliary Princess, sat on the left side of the old emperor to distinguish his status, and the position where Li Yi was now standing in the court could no longer lean against the pillar.

His position is only after the two prime ministers, and he is tied with the six Shangshu.

Listening to the work report of the officials of the DPRK and China, I was a little sleepy, and suddenly the shrill and thin voice of the eunuch came from my ears.

"Xuanqi envoys come to see you!"

The envoys of the State of Qi are very honest in Kyoto these days, and they are not like the envoys of the State of Qi, but, judging from the rumors they revealed, this time they are here to seek peace, and it is normal to behave honestly.

The envoys of the Qi State and a group of five people entered the main hall, and after standing still, they bowed down and said in a high voice: "See His Majesty the Emperor!" ”

The attitude of the envoys of Qi State was upright, and the expressions were humble, and the courtiers of Jingguo felt refreshed in their hearts.

Because of the great power of the Qi country, even if the envoys were sent in previous years, in front of the monarchs and ministers of Jing Guo, the attitude was also arrogant to the extreme, and there was no one in his eyes, and the current attitude was simply different.

And the reasons for all this change are very clear in their hearts.

After losing a few cities, Zhao finally calmed down, silently retreated, and sent the envoys to discuss the redemption of those cities, and now they are still hanging in Honglu Temple.

These envoys of Qi State also went straight to the point, and after saying a few words very ritually, they went straight to the point.

The gist of it is that Jingguo and Qi are neighbors, and they fight and fight all day long, how many people have to die, how much money is wasted, and it is the common people who are bitter to say, so it is really not right, it is better to shake hands and make peace between the two countries from now on, respect each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity, non-aggression against each other, non-interference in each other's internal affairs, equality and mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence......

As soon as these words came out, not only did Emperor Jing stand up from the dragon chair, but there was also an uproar in the court.

Jingguo's biggest external trouble is Qi State, the two countries have been fighting for decades, Jingguo is weak, for decades, several times to make peace, the price paid for this is not small, this time, it is actually the turn of Qi to take the initiative to sue for peace?

This is really the first time in the world, as the courtiers of Jingguo, their hearts are full of a sense of belonging and pride, and now Jingguo has grown to the point that even Qi Guo dare not easily underestimate it?

Without waiting for the monarch and ministers of Jingguo to say anything, the leading envoy bowed forward and said in a loud voice: "In order to show sincerity, on behalf of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Qi Kingdom, I will ask His Royal Highness the Emperor to marry the eldest princess of your country, and hereby promise that after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, I will immediately canonize Her Royal Highness the princess as a noble concubine......"

As soon as these words came out, the court, which was still slightly noisy, immediately became quiet.

Someone was stunned and frowned.

Some people were stunned for a moment, and then their faces showed ecstasy.

Li Yi looked at the envoy holding the letter of Qi State, and then looked up, the old emperor's brows furrowed, and the princess was expressionless, retracting his gaze, and his face did not change much.

At that moment, a person stood up and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, it's okay to negotiate peace, the prince of Qi wants to marry the eldest princess, but he can't!" ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

……

As soon as Qin Xiang's words came out, many people in the court stood up.

Qi Guo took the initiative to negotiate peace, this is naturally a very long-faced thing, and it can raise the prestige of the country if it is passed out, but the prince of Qi wants to marry the eldest princess, but it is a fool's dream.

The importance of Her Royal Highness the princess to Jingguo is self-evident, and it can even be said that although she is a princess, she plays the role of a king, and she is also a Ming monarch who has not met for decades.

Not to mention that without Her Royal Highness the Princess, what would the court of Jingguo become, giving this Ming Jun to Qi State for nothing, normal people can't do such a thing.

As for the peace, Qi Guo loves to discuss it or not, anyway, they can't beat the Jingguo soldiers who have heavenly punishment, in a word, and can not be discussed, marrying a princess, impossible!

Cui Qingming looked at the old man who stood up, his face was calm, but the fists in his sleeves were clenched together.

He turned his head to look, and an official stood up and said: "Your Majesty, how many lives will be lost when the two countries are at war, and how many brave soldiers will be sacrificed in my Jingguo. ”

After the official spoke, many people stood up and agreed, and the two sides insisted on their own opinions and argued endlessly.

Emperor Jing put down the letter of state, stretched out his hand and pressed it down, and the court immediately returned to silence.

"Negotiation of peace can be discussed, and the matter of asking for relatives should not be mentioned again." He said lightly, giving the most obvious attitude.

The envoy of the Qi State raised his head and said: "The negotiation of peace is a matter that is beneficial to both countries, and my Qi State has given enough sincerity, and your country should also show some sincerity, right?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the courtiers of the full hall looked at the envoys of the Qi State, and they began to become unkind.

The implication of this envoy of Qi is that if Jing Guo does not marry the eldest princess and does not give enough sincerity, then there is no need to talk about peace again......

"Your Majesty, this matter is beneficial to all the people, please think twice!"

"Your Majesty, don't let the living soul suffer again!"

"Please also ask Your Majesty to think about the people of Jingguo and the soldiers ahead!"

……

When several more people stood up, Emperor Jing frowned and looked somewhere below.

Li Yi stood up at the right time, looked at those people, and asked, "Accepting the peace of the Qi State and marrying the eldest princess is to save thousands of people and save the lives from misery?" ”

The first one snorted coldly and said, "If you can avoid war between the two countries, why not?" ”

"So, is it dispensed with?" Li Yi looked at him, then at the people beside him, and asked again: "Jing Guo and Qi Guo have negotiated peace so many times, and they have really done what this adult said?" ”

"This ......"

The official was speechless for a moment, if the peace negotiation is really useful, then the peace negotiation once is enough, and the envoys of the Qi State will not appear in the main hall now.

Li Yi looked at the courtiers in the palace and said: "The heart of the tiger and wolf of the Qi State is well known, and the abandonment of the covenant has been done more than once, what credibility is there, not to mention, Your Majesty is in poor health, and the eldest princess is in charge of the country, it is a critical moment, how can she marry Qi Guo, and then take a step back and say, the prince of Qi has lost the hearts of the people in the country, and he may not even sit on the throne, why give such a promise!" ”

"Haha, it's extreme, it's extreme!" Old General Xue walked out laughing and said, "Sincerity, what sincerity do you want, do you want heavenly punishment?" ”

Another veteran walked out and laughed and said: "The aggressor is your Qi country, how can you talk about peace, if you want to withdraw the army, you should retreat quickly, you want to fight, I Jingguo soldiers, I am afraid that you will not succeed?" ”

Shen Xiang stood up, nodded and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that what Dr. Li said is reasonable. ”

Yan Bing, the secretary of the Ministry of War, stepped forward and said, "The minister seconded the proposal." ”

Qin Huan, the head of the household, stood beside him: "The minister seconded ......"

Shangshu Zuo Cheng Dong Wenyun ......

At this moment, the people who stood in front of them were all important ministers of the court, the two prime ministers had the same opinion, and the Shen family and the Wang family were also standing behind Doctor Jin Ziguanglu, and the opinions of others were actually insignificant.

Cui Qingming looked at the row of figures standing in front of him, his fists clenched, his nails sunk deep into the flesh, and quickly, he released weakly.

Regarding the matter of the envoys of Qi to discuss peace, the opinions of those bigwigs in the court are very unified, and they can be discussed, it is impossible to marry a princess, if you can't do it, you can discuss it, if you can't get out, Qi is still the Qi country of the year, but Jingguo is no longer the weak Jingguo of the year.

……

Li Yi took a bite of egg fried rice, looked at the eldest princess, and said: "You are really right, the envoys of the Qi State are fake to discuss peace, and it is true that you want to get the help of Jingguo and help the eldest prince ascend to the throne." ”

Li Mingzhu pinched the wine glass, but did not eat, his mood did not seem to be very high, looked at him and asked, "What do you think in your heart about kissing?" ”

Li Yi thought for a while and said: "Harmony, ......, discord is integrity, and harmony is also a means of diplomacy, as for how to look at it, you can't generalize." ”

"This is what you use to prevaricate your father's emperor on weekdays." Li Mingzhu shook his wine glass and said, "I want to listen to your heart." ”

"What do you say in my heart......" Li Yi picked up the wine glass and touched it with her, and said without hesitation: "It doesn't matter if he is Qi or Zhao, of course I won't let you marry......"

[ps: It's really a model of death, there are a lot of buried lines in front, and now I want to take it back one by one, and I can't mess around, I write carefully, I don't dare to hit the keyboard easily, and I guess I have to lose my hair...... It's the end of the month, and of course it's not a complaint to say this, it's a request for votes......]
