At this moment, Chu Zhiyi also knew that it was not the time to continue making trouble.

She had no choice but to suppress her anger and turn around to follow the waiter, but the moment she turned around, when her eyes swept across Lu Yaoyao, there was a deep murderous intent.

Lu Yaoyao didn't notice it, but Qiu Yu who stood behind Lu Yaoyao felt it at the first moment.

His eyes narrowed with a hint of danger.

Dare to show murderous intentions to her young lady, this princess of Beichu probably doesn't want to leave Dongzhou alive.

It's inconvenient to tell my lady right now, I'll talk about it after the banquet is over.

After Chu Zhiyi sat down, Emperor Hongwen asked again about the purpose of the Northern Chu envoys coming to Dongzhou this time.

As soon as the envoys of Northern Chu opened their mouths, they apologized first, and then explained the purpose of their visit this time.

Simply put, for two purposes.

First of all, the first purpose is just for reconciliation. It is said that Northern Chu and Dongzhou have the same root and origin, and the people of the two countries should be compatriots.

We should not continue to fight like this. We hope to reconcile with Dongzhou, open up the mutual market, and let the two countries develop together.

At the same time, it can better guard against foreigners.

Speaking of this foreign race, he even bluntly named Nanjiang.

He was even more furious at the last time in southern Xinjiang, where a rogue randomly found an excuse to launch an attack on Northern Chu, which was empty of troops in the country.

As for the second item, it is exactly what Lu Yaoyao and others guessed earlier.

In order to better reconcile, the two countries should marry, and the heroine of this marriage is Chu Zhiyi.

He also solemnly introduced Chu Zhiyi to the people in Dongzhou.

The princess of Beichu, who is serious and honest, is also the youngest daughter of the king of Beichu, and has been loved by her since she was a child.

After the Northern Chu envoy finished speaking, Emperor Hongwen sat on the dragon chair, just nodded his head, pretending to be thinking about it, and didn't answer.

At this time, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of Dongzhou also began to discuss in twos and threes.

After a while, an official from a family surnamed Wu stood up, cupped his hands at Emperor Hongwen, and said, "Your Majesty, I think the envoy of Northern Chu's words are very good."

"As the saying goes, it is better to resolve enemies than to end them. Reconciliation is beneficial to the people of the two countries and has no harm."

There is an opening, and immediately someone follows.

Although Emperor Hongwen didn't meet the envoys of Northern Chu immediately, after a while, these people can still see something in the attitude that Emperor Hongwen showed towards the envoys of Northern Chu.

Emperor Hongwen wanted to reconcile with Northern Chu. After all, the two countries have fought for so many years, and both sides have suffered a lot. It is really inappropriate to continue to waste like this.

Especially now that there is a tyrannical Southern Border watching covetously.

If the confrontation continues, Nanjiang will have an opportunity to take advantage of it if they can't keep it. At that time, they will be in great trouble in Dongzhou.

Besides, they also took the initiative to ask for peace this time, and they didn't make any excessive demands. They even asked the Northern Chu King's most beloved prostitute to come and make a kiss.

All of these have shown Bei Chu's sincerity for this reconciliation.

"His Majesty."

At this moment, Wen Songtao stood up.

As the right minister, his status in the imperial court is very important, especially after Gao Yanming's fall, although he was promoted to a left minister, this left minister did not intend to compete with the right minister.

"Wen Aiqing, do you think there is something wrong with this matter?"

As soon as Emperor Hongwen spoke, all eyes were on Wen Songtao.

I saw him bowing his hands to Emperor Hongwen and bowing his hands to the Northern Chu envoys, "As Wu Shilang said just now, the reconciliation is beneficial to the people of the two countries and has no harm."

"The old man also agrees, but there are also some problems in it."

"Please also ask Wenxiang for advice."

The Northern Chu envoys on the opposite side also stood up and cupped their hands.

"I don't dare to give advice, the old man just has some different views."

"Dongzhou and Beichu have been fighting endlessly since before the founding of the country. After the founding of each other, they have fought again and again. There are more than a hundred battles, large and small."

"Many soldiers died in both countries. This is a blood feud. Of course, this does not refer to each other's courts."

"After all, this reconciliation is a good thing for the two countries, but we should not ignore the thoughts of the people."

"Are they willing to reconcile? This is a blood feud. In the past few years, how many fathers, husbands, and children have died on the battlefield. Can they let go of this blood feud?"

"It's fine if you can let it go, but what if you can't let it go? Have you ever thought about it?"

As his words fell, many military leaders stood up and said that what Wen Songtao said was indeed worth thinking about.

He even gave an example of how many soldiers under his command never forget this blood feud.

"I believe that there are many such people in Beichu."

"I don't mean anything else. Since it is for the good of the people, it must be accepted by the people. Otherwise, it is only the imperial courts of the two countries. If the people don't accept it, there will be big troubles."

"What about then?"

Emperor Hongwen also nodded and said, "What Wen Aiqing said is true, this is indeed a matter to be resolved."

"Otherwise, if we forcefully reconcile, I'm afraid there will be no good results. I don't want any bloodshed."

The Northern Chu envoy nodded in agreement.

"Wenxiang is right, this matter should indeed be resolved."

"However, time waits for no one. In fact, our monarch is so anxious to ask me to wait here, mainly because of southern Xinjiang."

"Before I came to Dongzhou, I received a message from Southern Xinjiang."

As he spoke, he took out a letter from his pocket.

"This matter is very serious. Please, His Majesty Dongzhou Emperor, make a decision after reading it."

Hearing this, there was no need for Emperor Hongwen to greet him. Wang De next to him asked a small servant to come forward, took the letter from the Northern Chu envoy, and delivered it to Wang De respectfully. In front of Emperor Hongwen.

Emperor Hongwen, who received the letter, opened it directly.

After seeing it, his complexion became gloomy immediately, and after he finished reading it, he handed the letter back to Wang De and said, "Let King Jin and your ministers also read it."

Wang De quickly took it and sent the letter directly to King Jin.

After Jin Wang finished reading, his complexion was also a little unsightly.

Immediately afterwards, the letters were read by the ministers in the court.

Almost everyone looked a little unhappy after reading the content.

Lu Yaoyao didn't look at it, but looked at King Jin curiously.

King Jin said, "Southern Xinjiang is hoarding food, grass and military supplies, and most of the troops from various places have been secretly dispatched to the borders of Dongzhou and Northern Chu."

It's no wonder that their faces are ugly. As far as Nanjiang's move is concerned, it is undoubtedly to say that they are preparing to launch a war against the two countries.

Today's Southern Xinjiang is very powerful, and Dongzhou is far behind. The Northern Chu side has only experienced a war not long ago, and has also paid a lot of compensation to Southern Xinjiang, and its morale is insufficient.

There is simply no ability to start a serious war with southern Xinjiang.
