The medical concubine is too difficult to tease

"Negotiation? Negotiation for what?"

Li Ru'an thought for a while, "Look, you have been in the northern border for six years, and the total number of wars, large and small, is no less than a hundred. Although you have never had a defeat, you still will never stop those scattered rogues. Have you ever thought about it?" Is it why?"

"Although the land of Mocang is vast, the soil is barren and farming is difficult. The common people have no food, so they throw themselves into the green forests and work hard for food." Xiao Huan smiled and poured a cup of tea for the two.

"That's right, I see that half of the battle reports are small battles. There are less than 100 people on the other side. Knowing that I am heavily guarded by Daqing, they still cross the border repeatedly, blocking roads and robbing money. They beat them away and come back a few days later. , very annoying."

Xiao Huan nodded, "Yes, so this border land must be vigilant at all times."

"The Xuanjia Army has been stationed here for almost ten years. The recruits become veterans, and the veterans survive until they return home. Take Hong Tao as an example. He stayed in the Xuanjia Army longer than you did, right?"

"Yes, Hong Tao is a subordinate of the previous Great General of Zhenbei. He stayed there for as long as the Xuanjia Army existed."

"Hong Tao has made countless achievements. As a general, he has a house in Beijing, an old mother, a wife and children, but how many days has he spent at home in the past ten years? He joked with me before, saying that he He couldn’t go back after his son got married, and now even his grandson doesn’t recognize him.”

Li Ru'an shook his head and sighed, "I know that the country is in trouble, and everyone is responsible, but there are so many soldiers in the Xuanjia Army, why are they not other people's sons, husbands, and fathers? Don't you think it is too much to sacrifice for this annoying little trouble?" Are you older?"

Li Ru'an is not the Heart of the Virgin, she is just a modern person, and her thinking is different from that of the ancients. If negotiations can avoid war and save one person from death, she feels that she should take action.

"Mo Cang has just experienced civil strife, and the whole country is in panic. Since you don't want to push Mo Cang to a dead end, let's negotiate, list our conditions, and evaluate their conditions. Right now is the best time for us to negotiate."

Xiao Huan pondered for a moment, "You mean the covenant of peace?"

Li Ru'an nodded slowly, "Don't forget, when the eldest princess and her relatives married Dazhao, Daqing and Dazhao reached a 20-year peace treaty, and now there are less than five years left? We will have another layer of worries at that time."

Facing Xiao Huan's slightly astonished gaze, Li Ru'an was calm and composed, "Xiao Jizhi, she is your imperial sister, but she is also the Queen of Jokhang, no, she is now the Queen Mother, and her son He Lianchong is the current King of Jokhang, so It is a matter of course that Dazhao comes first in every thought.”

"I understand what you mean. If the peace treaty expires, if Dazhao makes a move, and at that time we will also turn against Mo Cang, it will not be a good thing for Daqing."

"This is the first, and second, I have always heard that Mo Cang's geology is different from that of Daqing, and it is extremely difficult to cultivate food and plants, but this time I just took the road to Hongwu City. Under the corner of the city, many precious medicinal materials and ingredients were found, but these medicinal materials and ingredients are rare in Daqing, which shows that different lands have different benefits."

"If you want the country to prosper, the fastest way is to do business. You can see that Lisang County is an example. Although it is far away from the border, it is the most prosperous place within a few hundred miles."

"If we have a peace agreement with Mo Cang and Dazhao at the same time, open up trade routes, and exchange things for goods, and the countries abide by the contract regulations, and can no longer disturb the border, monitor each other, and learn from each other, then the people will eat enough to sleep, and naturally There will be less crimes, and the soldiers of the Xuanjia Army will not have to stay here year after year, separated from their families by thousands of miles."

Li Ru'an spoke dryly, took a sip of tea and looked at Xiao Huan who was looking at her without saying a word, "What do you think?"

"Madam is indeed a rare talent in the world. If this is true, then the world will be peaceful, and there will be prosperity and prosperity that have never been seen since ancient times. Even if someone thinks of such a thing, they dare not say it. After all, the man protects his family and the country It's deeply rooted."

"Of course you can't go back all of them. You can set some regulations, such as retaining [-] soldiers, set a time, three years, and change every three years. Didn't your emperor brother say a few years ago that there is an area of ​​hundreds of miles in the western suburbs outside Kyoto? Empty space? That place is quiet, with mountains behind it and the moat in the middle of the capital. I think it is possible to set up a camp there and build a training ground. Wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds to have a family reunion?”

Xiao Huan thought about the many benefits of it, nodded slowly, "I will immediately write a book and return to Beijing, and explain it to His Majesty in detail."

Li Ru'an reached out to untie the ugly purse on his waist, took out the little gold ring and shook it, with a gentle smile, "What kind of books are you repairing? I don't recognize my parents anymore."

Xiao Huan saw how much she missed her son, hugged her into his arms and smiled happily, "Okay, then tomorrow, we will leave immediately."

----

The next day, Yi Feng who was summoned by a secret letter scratched his head because he didn't understand, as if he didn't understand what the princess was talking about.

"Princess's younger sister... Li, Miss Li San?"

Li Ru'an leisurely leaned on the soft seat, directing Yi Xing Ziyan to pack up the gifts she bought for relatives and friends in Beijing, while looking up and down at the handsome Yi Feng, secretly paying attention to Ayun's good eyesight.

"Princess, although my subordinates are people close to the general, but their fame is not obvious, and the Yi family is not a big family in the capital. How can He De be qualified to marry the younger sister of the concubine, the young lady of the prime minister's mansion..."

Li Ru'an interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Don't talk about such nonsense, I'll just ask you, do you have a crush on her?"

"..." Yi Feng blushed, glared at his snickering brother, opened his mouth, and hesitated to speak.

"Marriage is of course subject to the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. I'm just asking you in private first. Do you have a good impression of Ayun? If you have, then I will notify the two parties to discuss it when I go home. If you don't, then Of course I won't..."

"No!"

Yi Feng thought of that beautiful and gentle woman, and her drunken blush cheeks, and subconsciously denied it loudly, which startled several people.

"No? Is there not? Well, then..."

"No no! I mean I don't, no no... no, uh, I have, I have a crush on her..."

Yi Xing and Zi Yan looked at each other, laughed loudly, and burst out laughing.

Only then did Yi Feng see the concubine's sly and teasing gaze, and his handsome face flushed red.

Seeing that he was about to smoke, Li Ru'an secretly sighed that this ancient man couldn't help being amused, "Well, I called you back to return to Beijing together, let's make a marriage arrangement first, my grandmother and Mrs. Jiang have been looking for Ayun for a long time. , going back late, I don’t know if it can be done.”

"Thank you, Princess!" Yi Feng knelt down and kowtowed, hurriedly retreated and went back to clean up, wishing he could return to the capital immediately.

It seems that my sister and lover are also interested, Li Ru'an stretched comfortably, leaning on her husband's shoulder, "Husband, I'm going to blow the wind on the pillow, my father, if he doesn't let him see the benefits, it's definitely You can't stop talking, go back and ask for an official position for Yi Feng Yixing, and getting married can be more lively and festive."

Xiao Huan laughed hoarsely, "Ma'am is blowing pillow wind, how can I refuse for my husband."
