Lady Wan Guan

Chapter 399 Which is more important?
"Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. Even if Jiang Wanning is just an imperial doctor, she has done so many things for you Dayuan. It is not an exaggeration to say that she saved Dayuan and the building from collapse, but you repay kindness with hatred. It cannot be justified no matter how you say it. ." Gu Zhou was unreasonable and unforgiving.

"Yes, yes, yes." Trida was annoyed in her heart. The concubine made a mistake this time and kicked the iron plate.

"I heard from Princess Chiayi that the Khan, in order to express his gratitude to Daqi for his help, promised to return the three northern cities to Daqi and not to engage in military conflict with Daqi within ten years. The Khan will not fail to fulfill his promise. Count?"

Trida sweated on her forehead: "I have never heard Khan mention this matter."

"Then when Lady Trida goes to see the concubine and the Khan, please remind her that a country cannot stand without trust."

After Gu Zhouting finished speaking, he left first.

Trida's face was so gloomy that water dripped from her face.

Reguna said: "Uncle, if Du Yi didn't run away, we don't have to worry about Da Qi. The problem is to let him run away. If he angers Da Qi again, it will be very detrimental to Dayuan. I heard that Jiang Wanning saved His Royal Highness lives his life, and this prince is a man of temperament."

Trida said gloomily: "What a temperamental person, Jiang Wan Ning is just an excuse. Da Qi is bent on regaining the thirteen states in the north."

"So, we can't give them this excuse. I have been in Daqi for a while, and I have a little understanding of the temperament of Daqi people. What Daqi pays attention to is famous teachers. By doing this, doesn't the concubine just give them an excuse? ? After several years of self-cultivation, Daqi’s national strength has gradually recovered, and it is no longer a wealthy and weak Daqi.”

Trida said: "I will go to the palace first to talk to the concubine."

After Trida left, Shangguan Beiqing came out of the side hall. He heard everything they said just now.

"Sang Zhi, I really didn't expect the concubine to do this. What should I do if my uncle can't convince the concubine?" Reguna felt very apologetic, feeling that she was the one who put Jiang Wanning in a crisis.

Shangguan Beiqing consoled her: "You don't have to worry, if Lord Trida takes action, the concubine will change her mind."

Gu Zhouting has made it very clear. If you don't let him go and fulfill your promise, then don't blame Da Qi for taking advantage of the situation. The concubine will weigh the pros and cons.

In the previous court, Shangguan Beiqing would not have such confidence, but in today's court, the prince is in power, Gu Zhou has stopped assisting the government, and many veterans of the peace faction have retired. The voice of the peace faction can no longer influence the court's decisions. Shangguan Bei Qing is still very confident in the current court.

However, he didn't know until Wan Ning became a princess.

It should be true!

As for Gu Zhouting and Wan Ning being engaged, he didn't believe it. Wan Ning would definitely tell his brother about such a big matter. Since his father was gone, Wan Ning could not ask for the opinion of his only brother on the important matter of Wan Ning's marriage. ?

However, he agreed with Gu Zhouting becoming his brother-in-law and was very happy.

Trida hurried into the palace and saw the princess.

Zaina was very surprised: "Isn't Jiang Waning just an imperial doctor?"

"Even if she is an imperial doctor, if she insists on staying, Daqi will definitely use this as an excuse. If she is not a princess, she will tell the world that she is a princess. By then, Daqi will have a reputation as a teacher, and it can also arouse public anger. Let all the people of Daqi share the same hatred."

Once the whole country of Da Qi shares the same hatred of the enemy and arouses new and old hatreds, morale will inevitably be boosted.

Zaina secretly took a breath. She didn't expect that things would turn out like this. When she told Jiang Wanning about this before, Jiang Wanning didn't tell her her true identity. Zaina was a little suspicious of Jiang Wanning. Wan Ning was deliberately digging a hole for her to put her in such an embarrassing situation.

"Furthermore, Jiang Wanning has an engagement with the envoy who came this time. This envoy is still an old friend." Zaina's breath was stagnant: "You are talking about..."

"He is Gu Zhouting, Gu Yan's son."

Zaina was silent for a long time: “I want to see him.”

Unexpectedly, the envoy would be Gu Yan's son. Jiang Wanning mentioned Gu Zhouting and said that he had already become the prime minister at a young age and was the most trusted minister of His Royal Highness.

"The matter about Imperial Doctor Jiang..."

Zaina sighed. This was what Tudor meant. Tudor fell in love with Jiang Wanning and begged her to help him keep Jiang Wanning no matter what. She thought that Jiang Waning was a skilled doctor and good at strategy. With her, she It is also good to assist Tudor. Once the overall situation is stable and Tudor doesn't care about Jiang Wanning so much, it is not appropriate to deal with it later. There is a Daqi woman in the court of Uda who is also the closest person to the Khan.

It doesn't matter whether she repays kindness with hatred or burns bridges across rivers, her starting point is for the great abyss.

I just didn't expect that Jiang Wanning was Princess Chiayi of Daqi and Gu Yan's future daughter-in-law, so I had to be cautious.

I believe Tudor understands whether Tudor's personal emotions are more important than the national security.

“I will consider it carefully,” Zaina said.

"And Khan's promise...is it true?" Trida asked.

Zaina nodded: "The situation was critical at that time. Only Jiang Wanning's medical skills could help Khan. Khan did make this promise."

But the Khan only wanted to fulfill his previous promise of one city, and the Khan was reluctant to part with three cities.

After the thirteen northern states were returned to Dayuan, the taxes and output of the thirteen states, as well as the tribute from Da Qi, became Dayuan's most important sources of income. How could Khan be willing to give back the fat meat he got?

Trida said: "In the current situation, the top priority is to quell the civil strife. It is best not to quarrel with Daqi first, otherwise we will lose more than we gain by focusing on one and the other. Dayuan needs time to breathe."

Trida is most aware of Dayuan's current military strength.

Although he has 150,000 troops, half of them remain in Bahrain. The chaos in Bahrain will not be settled for a while, and the remaining half of the troops must be used to protect Ouda. If the Khan is gone, can the Thirteen Tribes survive? It is not necessary to obey Tudor's orders. It is still good to obey on the surface or disobey secretly. It is also possible for them to collude to rebel. Therefore, it is not suitable for Dayuan to fall out with Daqi now.

The reason why he was not too opposed to issuing a gauntlet to Da Shu was because Da Qi was also dealing with Da Shu now. Dashu does not dare to go to war with Dayuan easily. What will happen will only lead to negotiations, and Dayuan may be able to gain benefits from it.

"I know, I will advise Khan." Zaina didn't want to lose the rights she had finally obtained.

Gu Zhouting was summoned by the princess that day.

Before coming, Jiang Wanning told him that the princess asked Tudor to inquire about his father in Daqi.

Gu Zhou stopped to hear the elegant meaning of Xian Ge. Jiang Wan Ning was telling him that his father had an unknown relationship with Princess Zaina.

He didn't believe that his father would fall in love with someone else. The men in the Gu family were very dedicated, and it was even less likely that his father would like a girl from Dayuan.

In any case, having this relationship exists, I believe it will be beneficial and harmless to the negotiations.
