Chapter 136 The Emperor's Scheme

Originally, Zhunli had already completed the peace negotiations, and it was time to set off to return to Dongqi, but when he was preparing to return, he received a letter from Dongqi. The king of Dongqi hoped to make arrangements for the marriage as soon as possible, and also hoped that Zhunli, as the messenger to welcome the bride, brought Heyuan's princess back to Dongqi.

Originally, there was still time to delay things, but now that Dong Qi was pressing so hard, He Yuan had to hurry up.On the other hand, Dong Qi thinks that the sooner the opportunity, the later the change, especially when Dong Qi learned that He Yuan wanted to get the half of the city, he felt that He Yuan was deliberately delaying.

There are two countries that don't trust each other. In order to quell the war and seek peace, they naturally want to take the lead.Thinking about it this way, it's not surprising that Dong Qi was overwhelmed.

But fortunately, Zhunli did not behave excessively in the remaining days, and spent most of the time in the post house, which made the emperor feel relieved.

It was night, before the key of the palace gate was released, Prince Jingshuo hurried to the palace, and as soon as Fang entered the palace, he rushed to the Emperor's Chongyun Palace.

"My lord, is my father in there?"

"Return to Prince Jingshuo, the emperor is true, but the nobleman is serving inside right now."

"Please ask the prince to pass the news to the king, saying that the king has something important to say to the father."

Seeing that Prince Jingshuo was in such a hurry, Wang Gonggong thought that he had something urgent to do, so he went in to pass it on to him.The emperor didn't seem to be surprised by the arrival of Prince Jingshuo at all, and after confessing a few words, the nobleman left first, and passed the news that Prince Jingshuo entered the palace.

"My son sees my father, my son has something to report to my father."

"Go back, I know what you want to say, but now is not the time to talk about it."

"Father!"

"Jun Tingye, do you know why He Yuan wants to get along with Dong Qi? I hope you can distinguish between priorities and priorities."

Faced with the emperor's accusation, Prince Jingshuo was speechless by the emperor's words, and was denied by the emperor even before he said it.Even if he tried to say something, it was useless.

"You have been indifferent all these years, and I thought you were not interested in anything. It's getting late, and you don't have to go out of the palace today." After saying that, the emperor looked at him with a slightly cold gaze, which was mixed with A little disappointed.

Thinking of how all his children are so sentimental and indecisive, the prince's unfeeling is more prominent in comparison.Sending King Jingshuo down, but not letting him out of the palace, was just because he was afraid that he would do something wrong in a moment of impatience, and now that he was in the palace, he felt more at ease.

On the next day in the court hall, the emperor brought up the marriage again.

"Dong Qi wrote a book again, saying that he wanted to persuade the prince to return with his princess. Since this is the case, I have no choice but to bring this matter up on the itinerary. It's just that I said earlier that the princess in the harem is so young. I don't have the conditions for a marriage, so I want to hear the opinions of all my lovers."

"I believe that Princess Kangjia is the best candidate for marriage. If Kangjia has a noble status, if the emperor marries Dongqi in the name of Princess Heshuo, it will not hurt Dongqi's face, and it will also show Heyuan's sincerity."

"My minister agrees."

"Your Majesty, I think it's wrong."

The emperor looked at a bunch of seconders, and suddenly there was a voice of disapproval, and he became interested, "Why does Ai Qing think it's inappropriate?"

"Although Princess Kangjia has a noble status, she is also Lord Ding's daughter in the final analysis. It is well known that Lord Ding is involved in the dispute between wives and concubines. If Princess Kangjia is married at this time, I am afraid that it will damage the emperor's name."

"What do Ding Qing think?"

"Back to the emperor, the ministers have been loyal to He Yuan for generations, everything is up to the emperor, I dare not have any objections."

"In that case, then instruct the supervisor of ceremonies to prepare according to Princess Heshuo's wedding etiquette, and prepare for Kang Jia's enfeoffment ceremony two days later."

Hearing the emperor's decision, Prince Yu was a little stunned. Although the emperor's attitude had been ambiguous, he could somewhat feel that the emperor's original intention was not to let Kang Jia marry. How could he suddenly change his intention and allow Kang Jia to marry proposal.

"Let's retreat, the crown prince and Luo Xun stay here, I have something to discuss with you two."

The emperor pushed Prince Yu and others out, except Luo Xun and the crown prince.Needless to say, the prince, the prince of He Yuan must preside over some matters in place of the emperor, but the emperor's general Luo Xun also stayed, which is a bit intriguing.

"Do you think Dong Qi and He Yuan will be able to repair this marriage for several years?" The emperor pointed out the key points directly.

"I think that with Dongqi's current situation, it will be finished within two years."

"What about He Yuan? How many years will it take for He Yuan to raise his troops again?"

When the emperor asked this question, Luo Xun glanced in the direction of the prince, hesitating for a while on how to answer.

"Returning to the emperor, even if He Yuan has a fight with Dongqi now, it's just that the situation after the war is not optimistic. Moreover, in recent years, there have been heavy rains and no crops in some places. The combination of these factors... "

Although Luo Xun didn't finish speaking, the emperor also understood the meaning.The emperor obviously asked how long it would take for He Yuan to fight Dong Qi, but Luo Xun talked about him, only saying that He Yuan could also fight now, but food and grass were in short supply and the people were in turmoil, so it was not appropriate to send troops to fight.

But Luo Xun's analysis is not wrong, He Yuan's foundation is very stable, it is not impossible to raise troops, but the people after the war may find it more difficult to live.After all, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, natural disasters and even man-made disasters, and the situation where the people have no means of living is He Yuan's disaster.

"The prince thinks there is any way to prolong the time for Dong Qi and He Yuan to reconcile?"

The emperor's eyes turned to the prince, and there were some answers in his eyes that seemed to be waiting for someone to say it.When the prince received the emperor's gaze again, he understood a little bit, but he just thought about it deeply, but he didn't dare to speak out his thoughts.

"My son thinks that Dongqi dare not fight right now because of the civil war in his own country, and if Dongqi is forced to fight now, or Dongqi can give in for the sake of his immediate interests."

The prince's analysis is not unreasonable, otherwise, how could Dong Qi let a city be given away by reason, there is no way to think about it, even if he is not reconciled, there is nothing he can do now.Coupled with the civil war, Dongqi also urgently needs a backer who can consolidate his foundation, so getting married with He Yuan is a matter of great benefit and no harm.

"I have to fight, heh, what do you think if the married princess dies at the hands of Dongqi people?"

Luo Xun was a little dazed when he heard the words. Although they had long ago realized that they would sacrifice for their family and country, when the emperor said these words easily, Luo Xun couldn't help feeling a little regretful.Yes, this kind of emotion is pity. It is pitiful for a young girl to be sent to marry at the best age, but now she has to bear the conspiracy of the country and die because of it. How can it not be a pity.

In comparison, the crown prince understood the emperor's intentions better than Luo Xun, so naturally he didn't think there was anything wrong. "Father is wise."
