The ruthless prince and the enchanting concubine

Chapter 196 The Conditions of Negotiation

There was a lively atmosphere in the palace, because today was the day when the Beiyuan envoys came to Beijing again, and their presence today brought the final conditions for the peace talks.

Above the main hall, several envoys dressed in Beiyuan lined up, and the leader was holding a long letter with gold silk shoes in his hand. The content on it was according to the meaning of Beiyuan Emperor Mu Lingxun The book.

Hundreds of civil and military officials gathered, but there was only one missing person, and that was Jing'an Wang Nangongjin.

Nangong Jin has always had a bad impression of Beiyuan Kingdom, so she didn't come here today. Nangong Jin didn't really care about the peace talks. Nangong Huan didn't say much about such an imperial brother, she just acquiesced .

Nangong Huan, who was dressed in a gorgeous dragon robe, was sitting on the dragon chair. His silver hair made him look even more radiant. He glanced around at the people below, cleared his voice, and said leisurely.

"All the envoys of Beiyuan Kingdom, you have traveled thousands of miles to come to Fengnan in the Central Plains again. I am very happy! The peace negotiation between Fengnan Dynasty and Beiyuan Kingdom has been decided. It is a blessing for the world and the people! Now please Let me convey your conditions, what exactly does your emperor want?"

Nangong Huan had already made up his mind in secret. As long as the conditions of Beiyuan Kingdom were not particularly unreasonable, he would try his best to satisfy them. After all, compared with the peace of the border between the two countries and the relationship between the two countries, a little bit of condition is really insignificant. So insignificant.

The envoy of Beiyuan knelt down to salute, and held up a long scroll of letter. Nangonghuan flicked the sleeve of his robe, and the eunuch next to him hurried down, took the letter with both hands, and presented it to Nangonghuan.

Untiing the gold belt, Nangong Huan gently unfolded the rolled gold cloth, laid it flat on the Longshu table, and took a closer look.

At the beginning, the letter was full of words of praise, stating that the truce between the two countries was of great significance, benefiting the common people, and being praised for generations...

Nangong Huan glanced lightly, with a look of disdain in her eyes.

Below are the conditions for Mu Lingxun's peace negotiation. With a little observation, Nan Gonghuan's face gradually changed, his two eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and his eyes were slightly narrowed.

His eyes stopped on the few lines above.

"... My Emperor Beiyuan wants to accept Ning Yan, a woman from your country, as his concubine. The two sides will forever be good friends between Qin and Jin, and form an alliance to benefit the world..."

Nangonghuan didn't expect that he thought that Beiyuan Kingdom's condition was that Feng Nanchao would donate some horses, some cloth, gold and silver, etc., but he never thought that Mu Lingxun actually proposed the condition of marriage.

What made him even more unexpected was that the object of the marriage was Ning Ningyan...

What kind of magical power does this woman possess, not only making King Jing'an and General Changning jealous, but now she has become the favorite of the emperor of Beiyuan Kingdom?All this is simply unbelievable.

After pondering for a while, Nangong Huan put down the letter and asked the messenger below in a cold voice.

"Is this all your emperor's request?"

The envoys kowtowed again, and the leader nodded, explaining that everything in this letter was their emperor's will.

The corner of Nangong Huan's mouth twitched slightly. Unexpectedly, Mu Lingxun was also a licentious person...

Nangong Huan leaned lightly on the back of the chair, crossed her hands together, and thought to herself, can she agree to this condition?Considering the overall situation, such a trivial matter as a marriage is nothing to worry about, what Feng Nanchao lost was just a woman.But Ning Ningyan is now the wife of General Changning Shen Haoyue. He still hasn't forgotten the scene where Shen Haoyue and Nan Gongjin were fighting for Ning Ningyan. Shen Haoyue is now at the forefront of the battle with the Western Jin Kingdom. If he hears the news, What kind of reaction will there be?Will you agree?What is even more worrying is whether the battle ahead will be affected by this?

Nangonghuan was strategizing, and naturally knew these entangled matters well. It was a big deal to discuss peace with the Beiyuan Kingdom, but the ongoing Fengnan battle in the Western Jin Dynasty cannot be ignored. How to resolve everything perfectly so that he is not in a kind of Amid internal and external troubles?
"Come here, hand it over to the ministers for circulation." After a moment of contemplation, Nan Gonghuan said, and handed over the golden cloth long letter to the eunuch, first to the current prime minister Liu Wenshuang, and then circulated it one after another.

Nan Gonghuan could see clearly that everyone's faces were more or less surprised, only Liu Wenshuang's face was relatively calm.

"How about it, dear ladies, what do you think of the conditions mentioned above? Feel free to tell me." Nangong Huan asked softly.

The ministers looked at each other, all speechless, in the end it was Liu Wenshuang who knelt down and spoke first.

"Your Majesty, I think this is a great thing. The peace of the two countries can be exchanged by marriage. This is the blessing of the people in the world. However, I think that compared to an unknown woman like Ning Yan, I don't think so. A princess should be selected in the court to replace Ning Yan and marry, if she is a princess, she will be ten thousand times stronger than that Ning Yan, please think twice." Liu Wenshuang made it clear, he naturally considered Nan Gonghuan's thoughts, after all, as a married Women and relatives have been considered rare since ancient times.

Seeing the prime minister speak, all the ministers present came out of the class and knelt down one after another in agreement.

"Your Majesty, the matter of getting married is for the country and the people, I think it can be considered! But the prime minister's words are very reasonable, please think twice, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, if I, Feng Nanchao, can change the world to peace, it will be very good. I hope Your Majesty will approve."

"Your Majesty, I think..."

Nangong Huan's slender fingers tapped the Long Shuan lightly, making a soft click.Slightly closing his eyes, he was meditating while listening to the opinions of the ministers. Few people objected, and they all agreed with him. However, when it came to Ning Yan, the object of the marriage, no one gave a direct answer. .

Shen Aiqing, I am thinking about you...

For Nangong Huan, it is far from enough to only have a good relationship with Beiyuan Country.

Countless things flew into his mind, how can he answer the foreign envoy correctly without losing Shen Haoyue, a sharp weapon to check and balance Nangong Jin?

Nowadays, among the civil and military forces of the Manchu dynasty in the Fengnan Dynasty, the only one who can compete with Nangong Jin's powerful force is Shen Haoyue, General Changning. Nangong Huan hopes to keep Shen Haoyue firmly by his side anyway, but if he abruptly agrees to Bei The conditions of Yuan Guo's marriage will definitely offend Shen Haoyue. He has seen how Shen Haoyue and Nan Gongjin entangled with Ning Ningyan back then, so he understands how important this woman is to Shen Haoyue...

All of this was so difficult, Nangong Huan thought about it, but she still didn't want to do something that lost the inside.

Suddenly, Nangonghuan opened his eyes, starry in them, and he stood up.

"My loves are all thinking about my Feng Nanchao. I am very pleased. I have already made plans in my heart for this important peace negotiation. All the envoys who came from afar, I wonder if your emperor is not clear about it. Ning Ningyan is now the wife of my General Chao Ning, is it inappropriate to marry as a married woman?"

Several envoys above the main hall could understand what they heard, and then looked at each other face to face, for a moment they didn't know how to answer, and after a long time, the leading envoy saluted upwards.

"Since the emperor said so, it seems that this matter needs to be discussed with our majesty again. After all, peace talks are important. However, according to your opinion..." The envoy raised his eyes slightly, and secretly looked at Nangong Huan's complexion.

"Hehehe." Nangong Huan just laughed lightly, and then stood up.

"The emperor of your country is willing to end the years of war between the two countries with marriage. This is a very good move. To show my sincerity, Feng Nanchao, I am willing to choose a princess in my country to replace that Ning Ningyan. I don't know if this is possible? Don't worry, everyone. , choosing a princess must be a golden branch and jade leaf, which is ten thousand times better than that Ning Ningyan." Nangong Huan said softly, wondering if such a request would win the other party's consent.

"Your Majesty is wise, this is the best policy." Prime Minister Liu Wenshuang knelt down again, strongly agreeing with Nan Gonghuan's proposal. As soon as these words came out, the hall was full of approval.

"This..." Facing Feng Nanchao's unanimous attitude, the envoy of Beiyuan Kingdom seemed to be in a dilemma. Regarding such a situation, their emperor Mu Lingxun did not explain it, so I don't know if it is possible.

Several people whispered to each other in secret, and after a while, they said respectfully to Nangonghuan.

"Your Majesty Fengnan, the marriage is a very important matter, and I may not be able to make the decision, but the monarch of our country has appointed Ning Yan, so..."

In the next second, Nangong Huan raised his eyebrows, and there seemed to be a trace of displeasure on his face.

"Hmph! For the peace talks between the two countries, I have decided to marry the princess to your side outside the Great Wall. Could it be that the princess with golden branches and jade leaves is not as good as an ordinary woman? Is it possible that the people of Beiyuan Kingdom are so short-sighted? I don't understand the reason?"

Facing Nangong Huan's sudden anger, several envoys hurriedly bowed and said long live to appease the anger.

After slightly calming down the excitement in her heart, Nangong Huan returned to the dragon chair and waved her long sleeves.

"Listen up, envoys, since you can't make a decision, go back and discuss it with your monarch, and ask him if he can replace Ning Yan with a princess to make a marriage. After your monarch makes a decision again, we can discuss the peace. Discuss."

The few people in Beiyuan Kingdom understood that they were afraid that the stalemate would continue. If Nangong Huan got angry again, it would be really hard to deal with. The few people looked at each other again, and then knelt down and agreed to Nan Gonghuan's request, saying that they They returned to the country immediately, discussed with their emperor, and got the final answer as soon as possible.

After staying for a while and saying some irrelevant words, the envoys left the Golden Palace. Having learned about Nan Gonghuan's thoughts, they planned to return home as soon as possible to discuss with Mu Lingxun.

Seeing the figures of several envoys slowly exiting the Golden Palace, there was a slight commotion among the officials. Nan Gonghuan's eyes were slightly locked, and she didn't care, just thinking lightly.
