The fifth wife wants to escape marriage: marry the princess

Chapter 219 Three Years Later 3
However, if it continues like this, perhaps, it is not alarmist talk, and it really can only sit and wait for death.

The situation in the past three years did not allow Xiao Xuanyu to fight abroad, so he was busy at home.And now, perhaps, it's time to stop being silent.

Half a year ago, when I heard that Xiao Junyi had stopped expanding his territory and was actively withdrawing his troops to return to the court, Xiao Xuanyu knew what he wanted.They understand each other so well, and he himself has accumulated a lot of troops in the past six months.

Looking at the troops counted by the Ministry of War and the deployment of the Quartet, Xiao Xuanyu felt uneasiness caused by the war in his heart, as well as excitement. It turned out that he had been looking forward to this battle for too long.

There must be a settlement between him and Xiao Junyi after all.

The ministers were still arguing, Xiao Xuanyu looked at them with an attitude of knowing everything in his heart, and Lian Cheng stood beside him, looking at Xiao Xuanyu, he already understood his decision in his heart.

He is the Minister of the Ministry of War, how could he not know about the mobilization of troops? !

The courtiers were discussing, and suddenly, Li Ping, who had been waiting outside all the time, entered the hall and said, "Your Majesty, the envoys of Qi State are asking to see you!"

"No see!" Xiao Xuanyu is annoyed when he mentions Qi now, but the envoy is so rude that he didn't summon him. He followed Li Ping and entered the hall to speak nonsense, "It turns out that the emperor of Liang is nothing more than that, shrinking all day long." I dare not even meet a foreign envoy."

When everyone heard about it, they were furious.

Xiao Xuanyu said with a sneer, "Rebellious ministers and thieves really have no rules and no boundaries when they become emperors. Even the people under them are so rude and presumptuous. They are not allowed to declare that they trespassed on the imperial study. Are you guilty?"

"What crime do you know?" The envoy was arrogant, "If you want to put on airs of the emperor, wait until you unify the world. This is not Qi, and you are not my lord. Why should I be polite to you and obey your rules?"

"You know best!" Xiao Xuanyu said angrily, "You know that this is not Qi, but you still dare to be presumptuous, how many heads are enough to cut off?! I am the emperor of Liang, and this is my territory, so I can do whatever I say! "

"What do you want to do?" The envoy was startled by his roar, "Even if the two countries are at war, they will not kill you, let alone we are not at war, you..."

"Even if there is going to be a war, it will be forced by you ignorant things." Xiao Xuanyu said sullenly, "Come on!"

"Your Majesty..." Lian Cheng stopped him, and said in a low voice, "You can't kill me if you come here!"

"You can't be beheaded, but you can always fight! Such a disrespectful, contemptuous look at us, without wind and waves, I'm afraid Xiao Junyi won't be able to spare him if it gets to Xiao Junyi's ears! Today, even if I do Xiao Junyi a favor, Train the people below for him." As he spoke, he took a sip of tea from one side and kissed, "The envoy of Qi State is disrespectful to me, slap your mouth!"

The envoy was furious, "I represent the emperor of Qi, you slap my mouth, but you don't pay attention to my emperor, you..."

"You are very sensible, I really don't take him seriously." Xiao Xuanyu said, frowning, Li Ping immediately stepped forward to slap the envoy for Xiao Xuanyu.

There was a loud "pop".

Everyone was stunned, but after thinking about it, since the discussion was so intense just now, and they don't want to live in peace with Qi, why should they be polite to them?What's more, the envoys of the Qi State have never treated them with courtesy, and they don't know where the courage came from in such a tiny place, but they are arrogant and domineering again and again.

This slap really relieved my anger!
All the ministers secretly rejoiced, although this matter should be treated with courtesy, but the envoy of Qi State offended him first, if he doesn't teach him a lesson, he will really think that I am a coward!
After thinking about it, some people actually feel that a slap is not enough. Such presumptuous and arrogant people should be taught a lesson.

The envoy was slapped and felt so humiliated that he was speechless for a long time.Originally, he was staring at Xiao Xuanyu angrily, but he was frightened by the other party's seemingly gentle but calm and hostile eyes, so he dared to hang his head.

Although, when he was in Qi State, Xiao Junyi told him repeatedly that there was no need to be afraid of Liang State, let alone give Xiao Xuanyu any good looks.

However, the envoy was still afraid of such a person who seemed to be smiling like a spring breeze, but was extremely calm and powerful.Perhaps, the only person who dared to challenge him was Xiao Junyi.

The two of them have completely different impressions. Xiao Junyi is stern and reserved, and a cold look is enough to make people shudder.However, Xiao Xuanyu laughed so hard that it made people's backs shudder.

At this moment, Xiao Xuanyu was laughing, and said in an extremely cordial voice, "Didn't you want to see me these days? Now that I see you, tell me, what's the matter?"

"Originally, my lord wanted to talk to you about repairing peace and forming an alliance, but now it seems that this is completely unnecessary." The envoy covered his face, full of resentment.

"Oh? Form an alliance? Let's hear it!"

"Isn't the emperor not interested?"

"I'm not interested, but since you've come here, you've been beaten. Do you want to suffer for nothing?" Xiao Xuanyu smiled, then paused, "Do you want to talk? If you don't, please go out!"

The envoy came here to talk about forming an alliance, and now he would retreat because he was beaten, but he still knew in his heart that forming an alliance was useless.However, according to him, Xiao Junyi didn't really want to form an alliance.

"My lord said that the queen misses her daughter very much. If the emperor agrees to send the little princess to the Qi country, he will vow to reconcile with the Liang country forever, and the iron hoof will never step into the Liang country."

"He really said that?" Xiao Xuanyu asked indifferently.

"Yes."

"Tell me about the second half of the sentence, what if I don't?"

"If the emperor disagrees, it is for his own selfishness to put the people in dire straits, and even give you a chance if you don't grasp it, then Qi has no choice but to send troops to Daliang." When the envoy said, his eyes returned previous arrogance.

As soon as "war" is mentioned, the imperial study room becomes lively.

The few ministers who had just said that there was going to be a war were afraid when they heard that it was going to come true, and they talked in low voices.

After all, who wants to fight when there is peace.

What's more, whether it is in the hearts of the people of Liang State or Qi State, their struggles are more or less personal grievances.

The atmosphere suddenly became subtle and noisy, Xiao Xuanyu's face did not change, he was not frightened by the envoy's threat at all, instead he said to Li Ping, "Grind for me, I want to write a book for an old friend."

"Yes." Upon hearing this, Li Ping was busy respectfully grinding, only to see that Xiao Xuanyu was actually writing a proclamation, accusing the countries of the world that they were originally an alliance, and their territories had long been divided. However, after Xiao Junyi became emperor, he did not actively promote the harmonious coexistence of all countries. Instead, they tried to strengthen themselves, and for their own selfishness, they did not hesitate to use force to occupy other people's homes, causing the people everywhere to live in poverty.At present, it is even more daring to humiliate the old lord of the motherland. The behavior is vile and disgusting. Therefore, Daliang can't bear it anymore and decides to send troops to crusade, only wishing to return peace to all parties.

Li Ping was very disturbed when he saw this crusade, but he also knew that it was definitely not for the emperor's whim.He couldn't help turning his head to look at Situ Liancheng, and Liancheng also took a step forward, and whispered to Xiao Xuanyu, "It's snowing heavily today, and the weather is extremely cold. Your Majesty, don't work too hard and get caught in the wind and cold. Let's deal with political affairs in another day. Eunuch Li, Send the emperor back to the palace to rest."

"No need." Xiao Xuanyu was stubborn, wrote the letter and put it away, Li Ping took the letter and handed it to the envoy of Qi State.

"Your Majesty, this is..." The envoy was curious.

Xiao Xuanyu said, "It's nothing that you, an envoy, can ask. You just need to hand over this letter to the emperor of your country. Li Ping, see off the guests!"

"Yes." After Li Ping finished speaking, he stepped forward and said, "My lord, please."

The envoy bowed to Xiao Xuanyu and retreated thoughtfully.

The rest of the officials didn't know what Xiao Xuanyu wrote, but they also had some speculations in their hearts. They only heard Xiao Xuanyu say, "According to the current development trend of Qi State, do you think that Liang State can protect itself in a neutral way? Qi State is like this, and it is targeting Liang State. , if peace is the most important thing again, and everything is tolerated, I am afraid that we will really have to sit and wait for death. Now, before Qi is not really strong, we must preemptively strike. Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. Don't be idle, go to the court room now, and draw up a battle plan for me to attack Qi State overnight."

"Yes, I will obey your orders." The ministers withdrew one after another.

Lian Cheng was the last to go out, Xiao Xuanyu stood up and said, "Lian Cheng."

Lian Cheng obeyed his orders and stayed, but his face was much more respectful than before. Xiao Xuanyu felt a little uncomfortable at that moment of alienation, "Lian Cheng, I didn't get angry just for a while, I knew it well."

"It's good that the emperor has a count, and the minister will go to the court room first." Lian Cheng was about to leave, but seeing Xiao Xuanyu's face lost, he finally said, "The emperor is right, there is no need to be uneasy."

"But you..."

"You are a good emperor, but I am not a good servant, at least not an excellent servant of the Ministry of War." Lian Cheng was helpless, "With my temperament, I am afraid that the servant of the Ministry of Rites is suitable."

Lian Cheng made fun of himself, but he also knew very well in his heart that the Ministry of War has a lot of soldiers in its hands, and Xiao Xuanyu gave him the greatest trust by letting him be the servant.

"In fact, I also want peace to be the most important thing, but there has never been peace between Qi and Liang, between Xiao Junyi and me." Xiao Xuanyu said, waving his hand at Liancheng, "Go, tonight Maybe I can't go back to my residence, so I can just live in the palace, Hua'er lives in Chunhua Palace, Ruyi will take care of her, don't worry!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Lian Cheng turned around and walked out of the imperial study room, both he and Xiao Xuanyu clearly understood that they couldn't be weak at this time.He has pampered the Qi State for three years, and at this moment, when everything in the Liang State is stable, it is also the best time to go abroad. If we wait any longer, there may really be no hope of winning.

After all, no one knows when there will be civil strife in the Liang Kingdom, and if the civil strife encounters the invasion of Qi, it will be too late.

However, Lian Sheng always hoped that peace is the most important thing, after all, they were such good brothers.

The threesome who were once young, now go farther and farther.

Back then, they both attended classes in the palace together and rode horses in the countryside.But now, it is necessary to fight to the death to be at ease.

If he had known earlier that this had to be the case, he shouldn't have let Wushuang and Xiao Junyi leave in the first place, and he should have let them decide the outcome at that time, maybe they wouldn't have to worry about it for so many years.

No matter who wins or loses, since everything is coming, let's come earlier.

In the capital, Lian Sheng lived in a state of tension, and so did Xiao Xuanyu.And Wushuang and Xiao Junyi of Qi State must also be like this.
