Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 914 Asking for a marriage?Yes!
Liu Yu originally wanted to go to the posthouse to meet Bai Mingwei, but after being intercepted by Qin Fengye, he lost interest in going back.

So he ordered the rickshaw driver to take him for a walk on the street.

Since the pacification of Northern Xinjiang, Yujing City has become more and more lively, and it is no longer as depressed as when the Northern Yan army pressed the border.

It’s just that the constant wars have finally depleted the country’s savings.

Even though the streets were full of people coming and going, their faces still showed exhaustion and numbness.

In this capital city that should be full of flowers, the streets are full of small vendors, but no one is selling.

The bustling people seemed to have lost interest in everything.

This is the state of life of the people in a country that has been ravaged by war for a long time.

The tenacious people may still live strong after going through hardships.

But endless suffering will eventually deprive them of the sparkle in their eyes, as well as their yearning and belief in life.

The prince Liu Yu was riding a carriage on such a street.

The curtain kept moving, allowing him to take in all of this.

There was kindness on his face, like a compassionate Bodhisattva.

But what he was thinking about was how to get Bai Mingwei.

Along the way, he had been thinking about ways to fight against Yuan Wu.

At this time, the bustling crowd provided him with inspiration.

Finally, he told his confidants: "Find a lively place and let the news out that I am interested in General Zhenbei."

The groom immediately responded: "Okay, I will take you to Jinchaozui now."

No matter which dynasty, suffering seems to be exclusive to ordinary people.

The rise and fall of a country is closely related to everyone.

But before the time of life and death comes, the poor are already suffering too much, while the rich are still living a life of extravagance and extravagance.

Just like Dongling at this time, although it was full of waste and was waiting to be renovated, it did not affect the high-ranking officials and dignitaries to spend money in the gold sales cave.

If you want to spread the news, where else can be better than a place where the noble people gathered like this?
……

at the same time.

Qin Fengye hurried to the palace.

In Chengming Palace.

He knelt down in front of Emperor Yuan Zhen with a plop, and said with tears streaming down his face: "Your Majesty..."

This kneeling is like a reunion after separation in life and death.

Emperor Yuan Zhen had not seen him for a while, and looked at the familiar old face with a pair of eyes full of admiration for himself.

Inexplicably, he felt a little sad in his heart, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Qin Aiqing, I have suffered a lot from you these days."

Qin Fengye wiped the corners of his eyes: "I'm not bitter, I just miss your majesty."

Emperor Yuan Zhen showed a smile, which showed that Qin Fengye was very able to please him, and his words made him feel comfortable and comfortable.

He walked out from behind the imperial case, bent down and helped Qin Fengye up personally: "Qin Aiqing, please get up quickly. You and I, the monarch and my ministers, don't need to be so polite."

Qin Fengye burst into tears with gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty/for your understanding! I thank you, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Yuan Zhen slowly walked to the table, but was in no hurry to sit down.

He lightly tapped his fingers on the table and then asked, "You went to the post house. What did Yuan Xun say?"

Qin Fengye looked hesitant, but he did not directly tell Yuan Wu's plan.

Instead, he first expressed his doubts: "Your Majesty, no matter what the truth is about the fake envoy, I have reason to suspect that Beiyan has the upper hand in this matter."

Emperor Yuan Zhen's hand suddenly stopped.

He turned around and said, "What should I say?"

Qin Fengye knew Emperor Yuan Zhen too well.

With just this reaction, he knew that Emperor Yuan Zhen had fallen into his trap.

So, he began to tell Yuan Wu's plan: "Yuan Xun said that our Zhenbei General saved his life, and he has a special liking for him." "If His Majesty can allow Bai Mingwei to marry him, then he can Make the decision, the attack on Beiyan’s envoy will be over, and Beiyan will not pursue it.”

Emperor Yuan Zhen thought for a while.

He slowly sat back in front of the imperial case and sneered: "It's true that beauty is a curse. Beiyan has already lost a prince, but he still refuses to give up on the marriage. What do you think?"

Qin Fengye spoke cautiously: "Your Majesty, I feel that this matter is fishy."

Emperor Yuan Zhen motioned for him to continue: "Oh?"

Qin Fengye said slowly: "With regard to the assassination of the Beiyan envoy, we still don't have a clue as to where we are now and what is going on."

"Logically speaking, Yuan Xun should wait until the results come out before raising conditions to Dongling, but he raised them at this juncture."

"Either he knows the inside story of this matter, or he is the maker of this matter. Because all the evidence is in his hands, he can make the request with confidence."

This is where Qin Fengye is smart.

He knew that this was what Bai Mingwei, Song Chengzhang and others said in front of Emperor Yuan Zhen regarding the attack on the envoy.

Because this idea was already preconceived in Emperor Yuanzhen's heart, he did not refute their idea.

Rather, follow these words and ask the question at the end.

Emperor Yuan Zhen leaned back: "This Beiyan person is really troublesome!"

Yes, in front of Emperor Yuan Zhen, he only saw trouble and just wanted to reach a peace agreement as soon as possible.

He didn't care at all whether the negotiation was from the perspective of a victorious country, as long as he didn't suffer a loss.

He didn't want to have people go to find out the truth and have to argue with Beiyan at the same time.

It's okay to say that everything goes well then, but if it doesn't go well, wouldn't it only increase the trouble?
The corners of Qin Fengye's lips raised slightly. He knew that when His Majesty said such words, he had already won half the battle.

So, he said: "Your Majesty, I think we have a choice in this matter, and we may not necessarily follow Yuan Xun's wishes."

Emperor Yuan Zhen frowned: "Tell me, what choice?"

Qin Fengye spoke slowly: "First, let's hold Yuan Xun down first. After the truth of the matter comes to light, we can discuss the solution with Bei Yan."

"In this way, we are still the victorious nation and still have the initiative. When Beiyan wants to have a truce, we will have to offer our treasures and surrender to Dongling."

"Secondly, we can also fulfill Yuan Xun's wish and let Bai Mingwei and Qin Beiyan. When Bai Mingwei leaves, the military power will automatically be relinquished."

"Not only that, if Beiyan does not pursue the matter of the attack on the envoy, then a peace agreement can be reached soon and the gods of Beiyan will be sent away."

Emperor Yuan Zhen touched his beard, as if he was deep in thought.

This state did not last long before he spoke: "Yuan Xun's intention to marry Bai Mingwei, according to Yi Aiqing, is he sincere?"

This result was completely within Qin Fengye's expectation.

The reason why he proposed one of the options was simply to make Emperor Yuan Zhen feel that he was in a neutral position.

In fact, he had been guiding Emperor Yuan Zhen to choose the second option.

From the mention of military power to Bai Mingwei's marriage to a distant relative, every word pierced Emperor Yuan Zhen's heart.

Whatever Emperor Yuan Zhen chooses, the result is obvious.

As for Emperor Yuan Zhen's question about Yuan Wu's sincerity, it was naturally not because of Bai Mingwei's plan, but because he wanted to know whether the chance of a successful marriage would be high enough if he agreed.

When Qin Fengye heard this, he deliberately paused for a moment, and then said: "I dare not say whether I am sincere or not. After all, at my age, I don't understand the so-called love at first sight."

"So whether Yuan Xun is interested because Bai Mingwei saved him remains to be considered."

"But from another perspective, I think Beiyan does have the intention to get Bai Mingwei to Beiyan."

Qin Fengye has been observing Emperor Yuan Zhen's expression.

He paused and saw that Emperor Yuan Zhen was very interested, so he continued.

"Your Majesty, think about it, how many Beiyan people Bai Mingwei led his troops to kill? According to the Beiyan people's vengeance, Bai Mingwei will never come back."

Emperor Yuan Zhen laughed, his face almost ferocious: "Then let's do it! I agree to Yuan Xun's request!"

Qin Fengye held up his hands: "Yes, Your Majesty."

The monarch and his ministers looked at each other and smiled, reaching a consensus on this.
