Yun Shuxian frowned and looked at the tall city wall that was majestic but also looked old.

Of course he heard clearly the conversation between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Li Wenyuan just now.

He also heard a strange smell from it.

He also wanted to know who gave Ning Guo such strong courage!

When he was in Dongxu City, the capital of Wu State, the emperor was very happy that His Highness the Crown Prince went to Ning State to negotiate in person. The ministers also greatly praised His Highness the Crown Prince at the court meeting.

Although this negotiation is not a war, the result of the negotiation is no different from that of a war.

Even more important than conquering other countries!

They were able to open up territory for the Wu Kingdom without losing a single blow, and they won the Wuya Pass, which was the greatest threat to the Wu Kingdom.

This achievement is enough for His Royal Highness to enter the history books, and it is also enough for His Royal Highness to stabilize the entire court after he ascends the throne.

Although it seemed that this trip was not difficult, His Royal Highness did not take it lightly, and even took it very seriously.

Therefore, the staff of the East Palace made many assumptions about the setbacks that the trip might encounter——

For example, Wen Boyu knew about the state of Wu.

Since he has become the chief minister of Ning Guo's cabinet, it is very likely that he will personally participate in this negotiation.

Just because he understands Wu State, he understands the current situation of Ning State better. His attitude should be tough at first, then take a small step back, and then... It should be to talk about the old feelings with His Highness the Crown Prince and cede Wuya Pass.

Let Ning Guo's army retreat to the line of Yudan River.

Back a hundred miles!

The hundred miles between Wuyaguan and Yudan River is the buffer between the two countries.

Ning Guo's loss was not too great, but it gave Ning Guo a chance to breathe——

Civil strife usually harms the country.

Ningguo was already poor. The Shixian Regent must have stabilized the internal affairs first so that Ningguo, which had been harmed by Ji Tai for more than twenty years, could have a chance to recuperate.

Wu State currently has no intention of attacking Ning State again.

As long as this boundary is redrawn, Wu State can even give Ning State some help.

Because Ningguo has enemies on three other sides!

The timing of this negotiation was also carefully considered.

The civil strife in Ning has just subsided, the emperor of Ning has passed away, the Jitai family in the DPRK has been crowned, and the officials of Ning will be purged.

The regent was only eighteen years old!

He had just grasped that authority, and he still didn't know how to use it.

Behind him, there was an expert who recommended Wen Boiyu to him.

But no matter how powerful Wen Boyu is, he still doesn’t have three heads and six arms!

It would take him at least two years to change the Ningguo officialdom, so within these two years, he would not be able to spare the energy to deal with the border war.

What he needs is a stable word!

All the thinking of all the staff in the East Palace were based on Wen Boiyu's analysis.

No one pays attention to the Shixian Regent Li Chenan!

Even he, Yun Shuxian, is the same way——

Government affairs and writing poems and articles are two different things!

Li Chenan’s poetry must be the best in the world!

But when it comes to governing the country...he is just a clueless idiot!

Just look at what he introduced to emphasize industry and commerce and then support agriculture, as well as the ridiculous constitution, etc. This is a typical scholar's rule of the country.

It all depends on the ideals in your mind!

There is simply no feasible national policy formulated in line with the reality of the country.

In addition, for the sake of a woman, he actually abandoned the urgent state affairs and ran away!

This is still the behavior of a scholar.

After watching too many dramas, I feel that the country is not important. There are no common people in my heart, but his confidante.

Such a person is still the most powerful person in Ningguo...

"I'm thinking about the meaning of Xi Wei's move... He left Ningguo's country to Li Chen'an... That's great!"

Wu Qian was startled: "Where is Gao?"

"Ning Guo was destroyed by fake Li Chenan's hands!"

"He Xi Wei did not choose to become the emperor himself when he captured the Jade Capital City. I'm afraid he was too old to have any children."

"Secondly...his reputation in Ningguo is really not very good. If he becomes emperor, I'm afraid many people in Ningguo will stand up against him."

"Instead of that, it's better to let that Poet Immortal ascend the throne as emperor!"

"Li Chenan's reputation is so good that it is almost flawless."

"Such a person will be supported by the people of Ning State, and at least the officials in the DPRK will not resist strongly."

"He doesn't know how to govern the country!"

"Now it seems that he is still arrogant."

"Although he left Kyoto, it is clear that the power was not really handed over to Wen Boiyu."

"Otherwise, how could it be that his uncle Li Wenyuan came...Li Wenyuan has such an attitude. It should be that he, Li Chenan, gave him the opportunity to do this before he left Kyoto."

Wu Qian was stunned for a moment and did not speak out against the teacher's words. He felt in his heart that the situation was not that simple.

He still didn't underestimate Li Chenan!

Because he understands Wen Boiyu better than Yun Shuxian!

If Li Chenan is so unbearable and still monopolizes power, Wen Boiyu will definitely not come out!

Yu Dingzhi, the Minister of Rites on the side, was deeply convinced.

He said angrily: "Ignorant child!"

"He should have stayed in Kyoto to prepare for His Highness's trip!"

"He actually sent a young young minister here. This is simply a humiliation to us!"

"Your Highness,"

He bowed and said, "Why don't we just go back and attack Ningguo!"

Wu Qian smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, we're here."

"After walking such a long way, everyone is tired. Let's go to the city."

"... Still going to Honglu Temple?"

"No, let's find a better inn where everyone can have a good rest."

"What about negotiations...?"

Wu Qian waved his hand, "Negotiations are still necessary!"

"But it can't be tomorrow at Tatsuki!"

"The time for negotiation is decided by this palace!"

He walked up to the carriage and said something to Yu Ding: "After settling in, you go to the Ministry of Rites of Ningguo and say... that I caught the cold on the way, and negotiate... wait until I get the cold."

Let’s talk about it later!”

…

…

It is certainly a big event that Prince Wu personally leads a delegation.

Government Hall.

Wen Boyu put down the memorial in his hand, looked at Li Wenyuan who was standing with a bow, and said with a smile:

"Afraid?"

"Afraid!"

"What are you afraid of?"

Li Wenyuan straightened up: "I'm afraid they will really run back and fight us!"

Wen Boyu stood up and walked to the tea table, "Don't worry, Wu Qian will definitely come to the city!"

"...Why?"

"Because he'll be curious."

"I wonder why we did this to him?"

Wen Boyu sat down and nodded, "He is a very scheming prince. This kind of person usually thinks more and is usually not swayed by other people's opinions."

"Besides, the purpose of this prince's coming here is to get a big credit!"

"I estimate that if he wins the negotiation this time, Emperor Wu will probably pass the throne to him after he returns."

"He will not return without success."

Nian Chengfeng, who was sitting on the side of the tea table, poured a cup of tea for Wen Zhuiyu, looked at Li Wenyuan, and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, just go prepare for the negotiations tomorrow."

Wen Boyu pondered for a moment, "Well, I have to be prepared, but based on my understanding of him, I'm afraid he won't be led by the nose by us."

"Ignore him for now,"
Chapter completed!
