When I just got divorced, I was overheard

Chapter 225 Silla's letter of submission, the old man made things difficult for him

Hearing Li Xiuzhu's analysis, the prince was silent for a while.

One group of people must have been sent by his father, he can be sure of this, but what about the remaining two groups?

"If my brother-in-law didn't speak up today, I wouldn't know that my little East Palace hides so many eyeliners."

But the prince didn't take it seriously after he smiled.

It's not that he doesn't care, but that he can't handle it.

Among other things, as far as his father's staff is concerned, if he is handled carelessly, he will be in big trouble.

Li Xiuzhu didn't say any more, and got up to leave after eating.

After he left, the princess Xiao Rongyu looked at the prince in silence for a long time, and finally couldn't hold back when the prince was about to leave.

"Your Highness, have you ever felt any reluctance?"

The prince paused as he was about to leave.

"Just do what you're supposed to do. If someone finds out, your family's life will be lost."

Xiao Rongyu pulled out a weird smile.

"I didn't want to resist. In fact, I still have a good impression of our sister-in-law. I just wonder if His Highness really has no reluctance or hesitation at all?"

"After all, I am the princess!"

The prince turned his head to look at Xiao Rongyu, stared at her for three breaths, and then said: "I do have hesitation, I hesitate to make your child the prince in the future."

"After all, this is my royal heritage."

"After thinking about it, it seems that the problem is not too big. I can leave the throne to my younger brother."

"If you don't have my younger brother to live up to, it's not impossible to give it to your children."

"Anyway, I have sat on this throne before, and it will not make much difference to anyone in the future."

"All I want is freedom and the ability to protect the people I love in the future."

Xiao Rongyu didn't expect to get such an answer.

What kind of mental illness is this person?Try to stay away from this idiot in the future.

Well, I feel like plugging in the door when I sleep at night.

But Xiao Rongyu has no courage to disobey this kind of mental illness.

"Your Highness, don't worry, I will do what I have to do, and give birth to 'Your Highness' as soon as possible."

"Well, take a good rest!"

When Li Xiuzhu went back, he unexpectedly found that his wives were still awake.

"What? Is this waiting for me?"

Fu Yuehua frowned, and asked, "Why have you been here for a day and a night?"

Li Xiuzhu smiled: "I drank too much last night, so I didn't wake up until the afternoon today, so I might as well have a meal."

"I remember that I asked the prince to tell the old horse to report back, but the old horse didn't come back?"

"I'm back, but the old horse said he didn't see you, and we haven't come back since it's dark, so we're a little worried."

Li Xiuzhu stepped forward and hugged Fu Yuehua and said, "Aren't you back? It's because I drank too much this time, which made you worried."

As he spoke, he took a deep breath of the aroma from Fu Yuehua's neck, and he became much more energetic.

Suddenly he thought of the blood-stained scenes of the Crown Princess, and suddenly became interested again.

Looking at the women on the side, they asked, "Sleep together at night?"

Immediately, the women's faces turned red, and Li Biyao, Nong Yue, and Xi Honglei stood up first.

"My husband is back, so I'll go to bed first."

"Well, it's not convenient for me."

"Me too!"

"..."

While talking, six or seven people left one after another, only Fu Yuehua, Li Liuli and Li Shishi remained.

In the morning of the next day, Fu Yuehua, who had regained his strength, suddenly remembered something, looked at Li Xiuzhu, but found that her husband was no longer there.

Fu Yuehua got out of the master bedroom after getting dressed and asked, "Did you leave?"

"No, I'm having dinner with some ladies in the lobby."

Only then did Fu Yuehua heave a sigh of relief, and walked towards the front hall.

At the same time, in the Council Hall.

"There is a book to play, and there is no book to retreat."

Minister of Rites Sun Jingyang stepped forward.

"My minister, Sun Jingyang, has a book to play."

"allow!"

"The envoys of Silla have set off two days ago and are preparing to hand in the letter of surrender before the end of the year."

"I wonder if His Majesty has a bottom line?"

Li Kuo immediately showed a smile when he heard the words, no one who is an emperor can refuse the achievement of expanding the territory.

"Let them cede the north of Liaodong, how do you talk about your Ministry of Rites, my bottom line is five big cities."

Is the bottom line five big cities?At this moment, the pressure came to the Ministry of Rites.

You must know that there are only eight cities in the north of Liaodong, not counting the rear of Silla, which is a loss of two-thirds of the territory.

Even if it is regarded as the rear of Silla, this is also a smaller half of the country's territory.

Sun Jingyang asked with a tingling scalp, "Your Majesty, is this... asking too much?"

"A lot? If they think there are too many, they can wait until the spring to destroy the country."

Sun Jingyang was taken aback when he heard the words, well, the situation is indeed different now.

If that's the case, it's not impossible to talk about it.

"The minister leads the order!"

Li Kuo looked at Fu Wenhan.

"Fu Aiqing, Silla Shichen came to Beijing recently to submit the letter of surrender. You should prepare for the matter of the Grand Canal."

Fu Wenhan already knew that this day would come, and he had prepared a lot, not to mention a feasible plan for his son-in-law.

Fu Wenhan cupped his fists and saluted.

"Your Majesty, the minister is almost ready, and the work can start after the next year."

"However, the permafrost in the north is still a bit hard after years. If you go from north to south, you will get twice the result with half the effort."

"I suggest digging the Grand Canal from south to north."

Li Kuo nodded when he heard the words. His time is running out, and he hopes to see the opening of the Grand Canal in his lifetime.

"I leave this matter to you. I want to see the Grand Canal before May."

At this moment, Fu Wenhan felt that Li Kuo was crazy.

Five months to see the Grand Canal?Why don't you fly?

"Your Majesty, let alone five months, the Grand Canal may not be dug through even in five years."

"Five months, I... can't do anything."

You must know that in the history of Li Xiuzhu, Yang Guang used 500 million manpower to dig the Grand Canal for six years.

"If you don't have enough manpower, recruit more. You don't need to worry about money, but in five months, I will definitely see the Grand Canal."

"This……"

Seeing that Fu Wenhan wanted to say more, Li Kuo waved his hand impatiently.

"Okay, if Fu Aiqing didn't pay attention, you can ask Champion Hou for advice."

"The champion, Hou Cai, is quick-witted and capable of extraordinary tricks. I believe that with his help, there shouldn't be a big problem."

The corner of Fu Wenhan's mouth twitched.

Is that what you said?Isn't this just a trick?Even if you are quick-witted and skilled, you can't turn a few years into a few months, can you?

If you really want to do that, I'm afraid it will be the same as Qin Shihuang's repair of the Great Wall, and it will arouse people's resentment.

But Fu Wenhan didn't say any more, but planned to go back and ask his son-in-law.

If he still can't do it after asking, then he can't help it.

What followed were some daily chores. Fu Wenhan was so distracted that he didn't listen carefully.

At the same time, Fu Yuehua sat next to Li Xiuzhu, first filled a bowl of porridge, and then said: "Xiuzhu, you can go and bring Cheng Cheng back when you see."
