Jingguo's early dynasty has now long been reduced to a mere formality. [△网WwW.] To maintain the operation of the imperial court, there are three provinces and six ministries. In fact, there is no need for an emperor. Some important decisions cannot be decided by the people below. There is also the eldest princess to review, and even the eldest princess cannot decide. Ask the old emperor what he means.

On the first day of each month, there was a ceremonial morning court. If there was nothing very important, the old emperor would only make a brief appearance.

Her Royal Highness the Princess, who is assisting the government, sits on the lower left side of the old emperor to distinguish her status, and the position Li Yi currently stands in the court can no longer lean against the pillars.

His position was only behind the two prime ministers and tied with the six ministers.

I felt a little sleepy while listening to the official report of the imperial court, and suddenly the high-pitched and thin voice of the eunuch came to my ears.

"The envoy of Xuan Qi State is here to see you!"

The envoys of the State of Qi are very honest in Beijing these days. They are not as honest as the envoys of the State of Qi. However, according to the rumors they revealed, they are here to seek peace this time. It is normal to behave more honestly.

A group of five envoys from the State of Qi entered the main hall. After standing still, they bowed and said loudly: "See His Majesty the Emperor!"

The envoys of the State of Qi had a correct attitude and a humble expression, which made the courtiers of the State of Jing feel relieved.

Because of the great power of the Qi State, even when envoys were dispatched in the past, their attitude was extremely arrogant in front of the kings and ministers of Jing State. They looked arrogant and arrogant, which was completely different from their current attitude.

The reasons for all these changes are also very clear to them.

The State of Qi and the State of Zhao repeatedly invaded the border, and each time they were beaten back by the soldiers of the State of Jing in front. After losing several cities, the State of Zhao finally calmed down, silently withdrew its troops, and sent troops to discuss the redemption of those cities. The envoys are still being hung up in Honglu Temple.

These envoys from Qi State were straight to the point. After saying a few words in a very ritualistic manner, they went directly to the main topic. 【△网WwW.】

The general idea is that Jingguo and Qi are neighbors, and they fight all day long. How many people will die and how much money will be wasted. It sounds like the people who suffer are the common people. It really shouldn't be done. How about the two countries shake hands and make peace from now on? , mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, mutual non-aggression, non-interference in each other's internal affairs, equality and mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence...

As soon as these words came out, not only did Emperor Jing stand up from the dragon chair, but there was also an uproar in the court.

Jingguo's biggest foreign enemy was Qi. The two countries had been fighting for decades, and Jingguo was weak. Over the decades, Jingguo had sued for peace several times, and the price paid was not small. This time, it was Qi's turn to take the initiative to sue for peace. Already?

This is really the first time. As Jingguo's ministers, their hearts are filled with a sense of belonging and pride. Has Jingguo now grown to a point where even Qi State dare not underestimate it?

Before the monarchs and ministers of Jing State could express anything, the leading envoy bowed forward and said loudly: "To show our sincerity, on behalf of His Highness the Crown Prince of Qi State, I would like to request to His Majesty the Emperor to marry the eldest princess of your country. This promise is that after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, he will immediately designate His Highness the Princess as a noble concubine..."

As soon as these words came out, the originally noisy court immediately became quiet.

Some people frowned after being stunned.

Some people were stunned for a moment, and then their faces showed a look of ecstasy.

Li Yi looked at the envoy holding the credentials of the State of Qi, and then looked up above. The old emperor frowned, and the princess was expressionless. She looked back, her expression not changing much.

At that moment, someone stood up and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, we can negotiate for peace, but the prince of Qi wants to marry the eldest princess, but it is absolutely impossible!"

"I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal!"

…

As soon as Prime Minister Qin said this, many people in the court stood up.

The leader of the State of Qi proposed peace, which was naturally a very shameless thing. If word spread, it would enhance the country's prestige. However, the prince of Qi State wanted to marry the eldest princess, but it was just a dream.

The importance of Her Royal Highness to Jingguo is self-evident. It can even be said that although she is a princess, she plays the role of a king, and she is also a wise king who has not been seen in decades.

Not to mention what the court of Jing State would be like without Her Royal Highness, giving this wise king to Qi State in vain is something that normal people would not be able to do.

As for negotiating peace, Qi State prefers to negotiate or not. Anyway, they can't defeat the soldiers of Jing State who have heaven's punishment. In a word, peace can be negotiated, but marrying a princess is impossible!

Cui Qingming looked at the old man who stood up with a calm expression, but the fists in his sleeves were clenched tightly.

He turned his head and looked, and an official stood up and said: "Your Majesty, if the two countries are fighting, how many lives will be lost, and how many brave soldiers of our country of Jing will be sacrificed. Now that Qi has proposed peace, it is a blessing. I hope Your Majesty will think twice about Yu Wanmin’s affairs!”

After the official spoke, many people stood up and echoed. The two sides had their own opinions and argued endlessly.

Emperor Jing put down the letter of credence, stretched out his hand to press it down, and the courtroom immediately returned to silence.

"Peace can be discussed, but don't mention the marriage proposal again." He said lightly, giving the most obvious attitude.

The envoy of Qi State raised his head and said: "Peace negotiation is something that benefits both countries. We, State of Qi, have shown enough sincerity. Your country should also show some sincerity, right?"

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the courtiers in the palace began to look unkind to the Qi envoy.

The implication of this Qi envoy is that if Jingguo does not marry the eldest princess and does not show enough sincerity, then there will be no need to discuss the peace...

"Your Majesty, this matter will benefit all people, please think twice!"

"Your Majesty, don't let any living beings suffer anymore!"

"Your Majesty, please also think about the people of Jingguo and the soldiers at the front!"

…

When several more people stood up, Emperor Jing frowned and looked somewhere below.

Li Yi stood up at the right time, looked at those people, and asked: "Is accepting Qi's peace proposal and marrying the eldest princess to save thousands of people and save living beings from misery?"

The leader snorted coldly and said, "If we can avoid a war between the two countries, why not?"

"So, is it exempted?" Li Yi looked at him, then at the people around him, and asked again: "Jing Guo and Qi Guo have negotiated peace so many times, have they really done what this person did?" That’s what the adults said?”

"this……"

The official was immediately speechless. If negotiating peace was really useful, then negotiating peace once would be enough, and the envoys of Qi would not appear in the hall now.

Li Yi looked at the courtiers in the palace and said: "Everyone in the Qi Kingdom knows that he has abandoned the covenant more than once. How can he have any credibility? What's more, His Majesty is ill and has a long-term illness." It is a critical moment for the princess to assist the country, so how can she marry far away from Qi State? To say the least, the prince of Qi State has lost the hearts of the people in the country and may not even take the throne. Why should we make such a promise! "

"Haha, it's the best, it's the best!" Old General Xue walked out with a big smile and said, "Sincerity, what kind of sincerity do you want, do you want heaven's punishment?"

Another veteran general came out and laughed and said: "The aggressor is your Qi State, so why talk about peace? If you want to retreat, then retreat quickly. If you want to fight, I, the soldiers of Jing State, are afraid of you?"

Prime Minister Shen stood up, nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I think Doctor Li is right."

Yan Bing, the Minister of War, stepped forward and said: "I second the proposal."

Qin Huan, the Minister of Household Affairs, stood beside him: "I second the proposal..."

Shangshu Zuocheng Dong Wenyun...

The people who stood forward at this moment were all important ministers of the court. The two prime ministers had the same opinion. The Shen family and the Wang family also stood behind Dr. Jin Ziguanglu. The opinions of other people were actually insignificant.

Cui Qingming looked at the row of figures standing in front of him. His fists were clenched and his nails dug deeply into his flesh. He quickly and feebly let go.

Regarding the peace negotiation between the envoys of the State of Qi, the opinions of the big shots in the court are very unified. Peace can be negotiated, but marrying a princess is impossible. If it works, just negotiate, if not, get out. The State of Qi is still the same State of Qi of the past, but the State of Jing is no longer the same State of Qi. The weak Jingguo.

…

Li Yi took a bite of egg fried rice, looked at the eldest princess, and said: "You are really right. The envoys of Qi State's peace talks are fake. They want to use this to get help from Jing State and help the eldest prince ascend the throne. real."

Li Mingzhu held the wine glass but did not eat. She seemed to be in a low mood. She looked at him and asked: "What are you thinking about the marriage?"

Li Yi thought for a while and said: "Make peace... Discord is a matter of integrity, and peace is also a diplomatic method. As for how to view it, we cannot generalize."

"This is what you usually use to excuse your father." Li Mingzhu shook the wine glass and said, "I want to listen to what's in your heart."

"What's on my mind..." Li Yi picked up the wine glass and clinked it with her, and said without hesitation: "It doesn't matter whether it's Qi or Zhao, of course I won't let you marry him..."
