Chapter 93
The emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty is 45 years old this year.

Originally, according to his age, Da Chen's current Majesty was a generation shorter than the Northern Qi emperor, so even if he really married a Northern Qi princess, it was actually not that unacceptable.

It's great to do something to make this Northern Qi princess unable to have a child.

It was for this reason that when Qian Qian proposed to marry the princess in the court hall, and even felt a little offended by the emperor, the little emperor did not immediately get angry, but left the matter to the courtiers to deal with.

but now…

The one who came from Northern Qi was not the princess, but the princess from last year, the niece of the emperor of Northern Qi. This somewhat looked down on Chen Guo.

After hearing Pei Shilang's words, even Yang Xiangguo, who had a very good temper, couldn't help frowning.

He sat on the main seat, bowed his head and thought for a while, then looked around at the people sitting there, and asked, "What do you think?"

No one answered him.

Because the issue is sensitive.

His Majesty the Emperor has been emperor for five or six years, and the courtiers are very familiar with the little emperor's temper. If His Majesty the Emperor finds out about this, he will definitely be furious, and may even whip the envoy Qian Qian. Then drove the Northern Qi mission out of Jiankang.

At that time, it will give the Qi people a reason to go south again, or to mobilize troops again.

Yang Xiangguo was silent for a while, and looked at Zhou Fu, Minister of Rites.

"Zhou Shangshu, you are in charge of the Ministry of Rites, please tell me first."

Zhou Shangshu is about the same age as Yang Jingzong, and the two have been officials for almost the same long time, and their qualifications are not much different. Although Yang Jingzong is the prime minister, Zhou Shangshu has no further plans, so he is not very afraid of Yang Xiang. After saying this, the old Shangshu looked at Yang Jingzong and sighed slightly.

"The emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty, I am afraid he is deceiving my lord..."

60 years without a winner or loser, it shows that although the national power of the Northern Qi Dynasty is stronger, it is far from overwhelming. In addition, after the barbarians who had lived a hard life in northern Xinjiang entered the pass, they suddenly became better off, and the upper class nobles would quickly corrupt.

In fact, today, just 60 years later, the army of the Northern Qi Dynasty is far from what it was before Jiazi.

The Northern Qi Emperor probably knew this very well.

Under such circumstances, the little emperor of the Southern Dynasty will soon be in charge. Of course, the Emperor Zhao in the north will feel a sense of crisis. Angrily sent troops to the north, so that while the Northern Qi emperor was in his prime of life, and defeated the Southern Dynasty again, the little Southern Dynasty emperor would most likely die like his father and become a "safe" emperor.

If you play well, you may even have a chance to enter Jiankang and dominate the world.

Therefore, at the time when the little emperor of the Southern Dynasty was about to be in charge, the Northern Qi Dynasty naturally hoped to fight a war with the Southern Dynasty.

After all, in a few years, Emperor Zhao of the Northern Qi Dynasty will be 50 years old, and the throne will also be handed over in succession. If the little emperor spends more than ten years on his own, and when the throne of the Northern Qi Dynasty is handed down, he will send troops to the north. It will be true who will win at that time Hard to say.

The ministers sitting here are all smart people. After hearing Zhou Shangshu's words, they immediately understood what he meant. A prime minister glanced at Yang Jingzong thoughtfully, and then said slowly: "Old Shangshu said That's right, the reason why the people of Qi made this move is probably because the last time His Majesty was at the court meeting... the fierce words spread to the north."

What he said about the emperor's violent words was the matter of the emperor angering Yang Xiangguo at the court meeting a few months ago, but Yang Jingzong himself was present at the moment, so of course this kind of thing cannot be stated clearly.

Yang Xiangguo didn't pay much attention to that court meeting, he sighed slightly, and said: "Before standing up, the most rare thing is the word forbearance, but the word forbearance is something that ordinary peasant boys can't do, let alone your majesty." This kind of ninety-five respect?"

He looked around and said in a deep voice, "Masters, do you have a good plan?"

The crowd fell silent for a while.

Finally, Pei Yuan, the Minister of Rites who was in charge of foreign affairs, stood up. He glanced at the prime ministers present, and then at his boss, Zhou Shangshu. The official has a way, maybe you can try it."

Yang Jingzong narrowed his eyes.

"You said."

"drag."

Pei Shilang said slowly: "Since the princess of Northern Qi is here, we don't need to drive her away in a hurry. We will find a yard in Jiankang City and offer delicious food and drink on weekdays, but they are not allowed to see Your Majesty. They are also not allowed to enter the court."

"It's been a long time. If she still wants to live in Jiankang, let her live like this. The court can afford it for ten or twenty years. If she wants to go back one day, she will go back on her own initiative. It has nothing to do with us. .”

Hearing this method, Yang Xiangguo's eyes lit up.

He looked at Pei Yuan, with an affirmative smile on his face: "What if that Northern Qi's Qian Langzhong makes trouble?"

"Then let him come to the Ministry of Rites to make trouble."

Pei Yuan lowered his head slightly, and said, "Xiaguan is the Minister of Rites who is in charge of foreign affairs. If they want to make trouble, they just come to Xiaguan to make trouble, but no matter how he makes trouble, the court will just leave them alone."

"It doesn't matter if this person is the princess or princess of Northern Qi..."

Pei Shilang's face was calm: "She may be able to survive for a year or two, but which woman can survive for ten or eight years?"

"it is good."

Yang Xiangguo finally clapped his palms, and said slowly: "Then this matter is settled like this. The Ministry of Rites will find a house for the Northern Qi mission to live in, and the specific expenses will be sent to the Ministry of Household Affairs. The old man will write a letter to Zhao Changping later. Tiaozi, let him approve the money for your Ministry of Rites."

Speaking of this, old man Yang glanced at Zhou Shangshu again, and sighed: "Old man, Your Majesty can't listen to me now, I will trouble you to go to the palace later, and explain this matter to Your Majesty, it is best ... to persuade him to calm down."

"You are His Majesty's teacher. He should be able to listen to you when you speak."

Zhou Shangshu got up silently, and sighed: "Young people's temperament, no one can say for sure, I will do my best to persuade you according to Xiangguo's instructions."

As he said that, Zhou Shangshu looked at Yang Xiangguo and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid Xiangguo still needs to go to the palace to meet the Empress Dowager Sun."

Yang Xiangguo nodded silently, stood up, and smiled at Zhou Shangshu with relief: "That's it, the old man goes to the Queen Mother, and the old Shangshu goes to His Majesty."

As he said that, he glanced at the other people in the meeting hall, and said, "As for the gentlemen, let them do their own thing."

After he said this sentence, it meant that the meeting of the council hall was "dismissed".

The other four prime ministers and the two servants of the Ministry of Rites all stood up, bowed their hands to Yang Jingzong and Zhou Shangshu, and then dispersed.

Then Yang Xiang and Zhou Laoshangshu, two 70-year-old old men, walked towards Miyagi together.

These two old people are both "old people" who are destined to retire after the little emperor took charge, and they are also "front waves" who are about to reach the shore. At this moment, the two old people are walking together in the imperial city , I can't help but have thousands of emotions in my heart.

Soon, this half of the country will no longer be managed by old guys like them.

As for what this half of the country will look like in the future, none of the two old people can say for sure.

can only say…

Let's see what happened to the younger generation.

While the two old men were trying their best to maintain the court, a young man surnamed Shen from Jiangdu Prefecture finally passed the government examination.
He stretched his waist, yawned big, and walked out of the examination shed in Jiangdu Prefecture.
