The queen has so many tricks

Chapter 160

Nie Chuanzhen pretended not to hear, bowed to Chang'an, turned around and was about to leave, the Empress Dowager said angrily, "Nie Chuanzhen, stop!"

She turned her head to look at Chang Ji and said: "Nan Zhao's envoys are here, you have to summon them. Whether it is war or peace, the courtiers must know clearly. If you don't see him, you will kill him. Why don't you let Luoshui Suicide?"

Chang Ji said: "It's very strange. The Empress Dowager has been mentioning Nanzhao envoys since she came in? What's so special about this Nanzhao envoy? The empress dowager must meet Nanzhao envoys?"

The Empress Dowager hesitated, and the Cangyu family had already communicated with Nanzhao, and Nanzhao sent envoys to force Changzhan to abdicate the throne with the marriage of the two countries.If Chang Ji didn't meet with the court, or killed Nan Zhao's envoys, their calculation would be in vain.

The Empress Dowager said: "You are well aware of the marriage between Luoshui and Nanzhao. Are you afraid that Nanzhao's envoys will cause trouble in the court and you will not come to Taiwan, so you dare not see him?"

She actually wanted to provoke Chang Ji, Chang Ji smiled and said: "Indeed. I just can't see the envoy of Nanzhao. If that's the case, Prime Minister Zuo, go and kill the envoy of Nanzhao."

The queen mother said: "You... can't!"

Chang Ji said: "It's not impossible for the Empress Dowager to ask me to summon the envoys. Luoshui's financial power is in the hands of the Cangyu family. Please ask the Empress Dowager to send a decree to send 100 million stones of grain and grass to Shenshan Mansion. I will then agree to summon Nan Zhao. Envoys, check out the words of Nanzhao's envoys, if Nanzhao really wants to attack Luoshui with all his strength, I am willing to make a compromise for the people of Luoshui."

"One million stones of grain and grass?" The queen mother called out, "You have a big appetite. You want to fight Nanzhao wholeheartedly. With this one million stones of grain and grass, wouldn't the Shenshan Mansion fight desperately for you?"

Chang Ji smiled lightly and said: "The queen mother is right. I want to go to war, but I haven't ascended the throne yet, so I have to bear with it. After I ascend the throne, the war will break out and push me into a hurry. Don't talk about the 100 million shi For grain and grass, even if the granary and treasury are emptied, I have a way to do it. Today, on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and the day after tomorrow, I will be officially enthroned as the Empress of Luoshui. Just wait and see, the Queen Mother."

She got up, cupped her hands to the Queen Mother and said: "It's late at night, please come back, Queen Mother, I won't see you off."

Nie Chuanzhen also said: "Your Majesty, please rest, and I will leave."

Give food and grass, and summon Nanzhao's envoys.Without food and grass, go to war directly.

This condition sounds familiar.

The Shenshan Mansion surrendered military power and provided food and grass.If the military power is not surrendered, the Shenshan Mansion will fend for itself.

It was exactly the same as when they forced Shenshan Mansion to hand over military power, and treated him in his own way.

Chang Ji had already got up and went to the sleeping hall, the Queen Mother suddenly said: "The Ai family promises you, and immediately issue an order to distribute food and grass to Shenshan Mansion. But the Ai family also has conditions. First, when you summon the envoys of Nanzhao tomorrow, you must bring all the civil and military officials Two, if you fail to ascend the throne, the military power of Shenshan Mansion must be turned over to the royal family."

Chang Ji turned around and said, "Okay."

The Empress Dowager issued an order to distribute food and grass to Shenshan Mansion, and led the ministers who were kneeling outside the hall away.

When it was almost midnight, Tan Qing, while serving Chang Ji to change into pajamas, said, "The Empress Dowager has repeatedly asked Your Majesty to summon Nanzhao's envoys, and all the officials to be present together. There must be fraud, and Your Majesty must be on guard."

Chang Ji tied up his pajamas, and sat on the couch with his legs bent: "They have already handed over to Nan Zhao, and I was in a hurry when I mentioned the war queen mother, I am afraid that they have already set up a trap and waited for me to drill." Woolen cloth!"

"Ah?" Tan Qing said in surprise, "Since your Majesty knows, why did you agree to her? Isn't this a self-inflicted trap... Bah, bah, bah!"

Tan Qing poohed a few times, and said anxiously: "I was so anxious that I said the wrong thing, what is your Majesty going to do?"

Chang Wei lay on the couch alone, while Tan Qing sat on the footrest and tucked her in the quilt. Chang Wei looked at her with a smile and said, "Tan Qing, tell me, who is this envoy from Nanzhao? Could it be the prince who is too busy?"

Tan Qing was startled again and said: "Ah?? He...he is His Majesty's fiancé, could it be...Could it be...Could it be that the Empress Dowager invited him here to force His Majesty to fulfill the marriage contract face to face?"

Chang Ji remembered that day when she was hunted down by a killer in the wilderness, Nan Zhaozhuo came to rescue her, standing beside Chiye Sword, with his back to the common people on the earth, dressed in red, ostentatiously like fire, and black gauze like smoke...

She smiled, lying on the bed and muttering to herself: "Zhen, I suddenly want to know what this prince looks like."

On the second day, Chang Ji summoned Nan Zhao's envoy.The internal officials who delivered the decree went for half a day, but the Nanzhao envoys did not come.The envoys from Nanzhao did not come, but the civil and military officials had already arrived.

All the ministers gathered in the Shanghe Palace, and when Chang Ji came, all the officials chattered about saying that the overall situation should be the top priority, that wars should not be started at will, that Nan Zhao could not be defeated, and so on.

In short, it is to persuade Chang Wei to give up tomorrow's enthronement hall, and quickly show his favor to Nan Zhao, and it is best to marry Nan Zhao tomorrow and get married.

The Empress Dowager asked all the officials to meet with the envoys of Nanzhao, probably for this purpose.Said to be civil and military officials, the queen mother who could come was also screened.

Chang Ji took a rough look, and found that almost all the officials of the Shen Shan family and the Nie Chuan family were assigned to other places by the queen mother, only Nie Chuanzhen, Shen Shanze, and Shen Shanzhi were forced to squeeze into this "hundred officials" by the empress dowager. In the ranks, they were debating with the officials who were asking for peace, and the whole hall of the Shanghe Palace could only hear the buzzing sound after another.

Xi Pu, the patriarch of the Kanmu Clan, probably was pulled to make up the numbers, so he made up the numbers meticulously, stroking his beard quietly without saying a word, and not helping anyone.

Chang Ji sat on the emperor's throne in the main hall, as if he was about to fall into meditation, he didn't care about them, let them quarrel as much as possible, as long as they didn't fight.

An elder of the Cangyu clan suddenly shouted loudly: "Your Majesty—why do thousands of soldiers have to sacrifice their lives for a matter that can be solved by sacrificing one person? Why do the people of Li suffer from the flames of war? If your majesty insists on not going to Nanzhao Sue for peace, the old minister will be the first person to die in battle!"

As he said, he was going to hit the pillar again.

Chang Wei closed his eyes, and everyone hurriedly grabbed the clan elder. When they were in a hurry, the internal official who passed the news outside the hall raised his voice: "Envoys from Nanzhao come in—see—"

"Entry" was still echoing in the hall, and before seeing the figures of Nanzhao's envoys, all the officials had already knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, please put the overall situation first, and the lives of the common people..."

I'm really afraid that foreigners don't know that they are a bunch of soft bones.

Chang Ji rested his arms on his shoulders and looked at the entrance of the main hall, wanting to see who this envoy from Nanzhao really was.

A moment later, a bright red figure appeared at the entrance of the main hall, holding a 24-bone folding fan in his hand. On the snow-white fan surface were the dense ink and light dyeing of Nanzhao Mountain and the red and red Flame Maple.

As soon as the fan was opened, it covered the face, and a pair of peach blossom eyes on the edge of the fan shone straight towards the long shaft, as if saying: Long time no see, it's me again!
Depressing Chang's enthusiasm, she let out a long sigh. Last night, she asked someone to investigate the identity of Nanzhao's envoy, but there was no news.She still thought that it was so mysterious that it was Nan Zhaozhuo who came here in all likelihood, but she didn't expect that this person was playing tricks.
