Chapter 48: Decree
Nuo Min also looked at Yu Zhi. When she entered the door, she saw the young man sitting in the corner, and she didn't know what she was planning in her heart.
The person who could make the final decision in this negotiation was Nuo Min. Just like on Da Chu's side, only the Crown Prince of Chu had the final say. What Yu Zhi said greatly eased the tense atmosphere between the two parties.
Weak countries have no diplomacy. But Yu Zhi has been to the grasslands and these men are all bloody people. They would rather lose their country than surrender. Therefore, the so-called threats will only irritate the other party.
If there is a war in the north and there is wind and snow, the number of casualties will be several times the usual number. It is really not worth the gain.
Nuo Min did not answer immediately. After thinking about it some more, he took the people back to Zizhu Villa. Before leaving, he took a deep look at Yu Zhi.
…
Yu Zhi huddled behind, avoiding Xiang Jinghao's gaze. He openly opposed Xiang Jinghao without any official position. Such a bold idea was not something ordinary people could have.
Cui Wenqi whispered in Xiang Jinghao's ear, and Xiang Jinghao looked at Yu Zhi after listening. His dark skin made Xiang Jinghao look older than his actual age.
"You should not participate in the following negotiations." Xiang Jinghao ordered Yu Zhi.
The commanding tone made Yu Zhi unhappy. Although he was used to the bossy attitude of these people, this time he was angry for no reason.
When Cui Wenqi saw this, he took a step back quietly. He was a veteran in the officialdom and knew very well when to advance or retreat. Now, he knew that Qiu Ruoruo and Xiang Jinghao were bound to have a quarrel.
In the eyes of Honglu Temple, King Yizi is someone who cannot be provoked, but not in Qiu Ruoruo's eyes. There are big trees like the Qiu family behind her, which can provide shelter from the wind and rain if it is not furious and thunderous.
"What the Crown Prince said will only cause another war in the north. I just want to let the other party know our sincerity. I... don't want to withdraw." Yu Zhi said directly.
Xiang Jinghao squinted his eyes, and an extremely sharp light shot out from the slits in his eyes, making people feel like thorns were piercing their backs. This was the first time he saw someone who dared to resist him.
"I said you must withdraw. Your Majesty has ordered me to take charge, and I will make the final decision on all matters big and small. I have already taken a high look at the fact that you have no official position and can enter and leave the Honglu Temple. You are not allowed to interfere in the border war." Xiang Jinghao was very domineering and said exactly what he said.
The look is irrefutable.
Qiu Ruoruo took a step forward and stood in front of Yu Zhi. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, your Majesty's decree is to allow us and other pacification missions to open the racecourse. It is not to provoke a war and put the two countries into a situation where there is no room for change. If Your Majesty, Your Majesty, insists on having his own way, Ruoruo will
I have no choice but to meet with His Majesty and explain the whole story of this negotiation."
Qiu Ruoruo's threat was very powerful. When Xiang Jinghao stood up, he suddenly discovered that the Kyoto he had left for two years was a little different from what he had imagined. There were some people here who dared to resist him, and they were not afraid of him.
Xiang Jinghao felt an unprecedented sense of freshness.
"Everything I do is for the great Chu. The new king of the northern grassland has succeeded to the throne, and it is difficult to control the four major tribes for a while. It is the time when the fighting power is weak. Taking this opportunity to destroy them in one fell swoop and open up the territory is the best strategy." Xiang
Jinghao said rationally.
When Yu Zhi heard this, he didn't take it seriously. Naturally, Qiu Ruoruo didn't think it was right either.
"Your Majesty has your own opinions regarding the peace talks, and the edict has clarified everything. I, as a minister, can just do as you are told. Do you think that your Majesty is not as good as you?" Qiu Ruoruo's voice was also loud and clear, no weaker than Xiang Jinghao's.
No one expected that after the negotiation, the Prince of Chu and the Miss Qiu family would actually get together, and the intensity would reach a higher level than before. The officials of Honglu Temple all lowered their heads, and could only see this in their eyes.
The shoes of three young people, but these people's ears are extremely long.
Some of the excitement is invisible, but the more invisible it is, the more novel it is.
Xiang Jinghao didn't say anything. After a long silence, he said: "Your Majesty, how can I guess your mind? I am far inferior to your Majesty. Today I will go to the palace to explain everything. If your Majesty agrees with my idea, this person
You must never enter Honglu Temple again or participate in the mission."
"Okay." Yu Zhi responded, and then pulled Qiu Ruoruo out of Honglu Temple under Xiang Jinghao's gaze.
Walking out of the door of Honglu Temple, Qiu Ruoruo threw away Yu Zhi's hand and said angrily: "Brother Xiaoyu, why did you agree to him? The crown prince of Chu has been training in the army for two years. As soon as he returned to Kyoto, he
If you dare to resist the decree, I can certainly argue with him. How can you allow him to go and stir up trouble in front of His Majesty? Do you really want to withdraw by then?"
Yu Zhi said confidently: "Of course not. You said that His Majesty is better than that prince, how could you believe the words of the prince of Chu?" As he said that, Yu Zhi took out a letter from his sleeve, opened the envelope, and put the letter paper
He presented it to Qiu Ruoruo. The paper was densely covered with ink, and the paper was a little rough. It was obviously not made by the craftsmanship of Da Chu. The handwriting on it was pretty, much better than Yu Zhi's.
His words are like his person, so he must be a handsome person. Qiu Ruoruo thought to herself.
Qiu Ruoruo opened the letter and read the contents. She was shocked. Then she raised her eyes and looked at Yu Zhi and said, "Is everything in the letter true?"
Yu Zhi nodded. This letter came from a distant grassland. It was sent by a snow eagle on the snow-capped mountains. It flew for three days and three nights before it was delivered to Yu Zhi's hands.
"If it is true, as Xiang Jinghao said, we can really wipe out the grassland wolf court and bring the grassland into the territory of Chu. Does Xiang Jinghao also know this news?" Qiu Ruoruo said suspiciously.
Yu Zhi shook his head, "It's impossible for him to know. These things are top secret in the Steppe Wolf Court. Their Khan has blocked all information, and even the Northern Army has no way of knowing."
Qiu Ruoruo looked at Yu Zhi suspiciously and said, "Then how did you know?"
Yu Zhi thought about it and smiled mysteriously: "I went to the grassland when I was a child and made some friends there. I heard that it was the mission of the Grassland Wolf Court, so I just wrote a letter and asked him a few questions. I didn't think he was
Give me a reply like this."
Qiu Ruoruo didn't believe Yu Zhi's lies and said, "Why didn't I know when you went to the grassland? You were actually lying."
Yu Zhi just smiled, showing the stupid look on his face, and did not argue.
The content of the letter is extremely simple. Although the letter is full of words, most of them are chatting with Yu Zhi about when they will go to the grassland to get together again. The last few sentences at the end of the article read - Xin Ke
Khan Temurong was imprisoned by the four major tribes and wanted to depose the new king. One of the reasons why the envoy came to the court was Temurong.
When Yu Zhi received the letter, he told Qiu Jinfeng about it. This was a major event, and the situation in the north would change as never before if he was not careful. Yu Zhi also admitted that Xiang Jinghao made a mistake.
Chong said this was a good time to destroy the Steppenwolf Court. At first, he thought it was a great idea.
An idea is an idea. Yu Zhi repeatedly warned Qiu Jinfeng not to take advantage of others' danger to destroy the grassland. This was news from the grassland, and he could not betray his friend on the grassland because of it.
Fortunately, the emperor's attitude was clearly stated in the edict, and Yu Zhi also guessed that Qiu Jinfeng had never told the emperor about this matter.
"Qiuqiu, this is top secret. If because of this letter, a war breaks out in the northern border, people will be devastated, and evil will be committed. We are the ones who are harming people. So we must not let others know." Yu Zhi ordered.
, I don’t know where the fire folding piece came from to light the rough letter paper.
Qiu Ruoruo nodded, she was a kind-hearted woman, and she couldn't bear to see the scene of mourning everywhere.
...
The carriages and horses of Nuo Min and his entourage did not return to Zizhu Villa, but walked directly onto Qinglong Avenue and headed towards the Imperial City.
Nuo Min's request for an audience surprised the emperor. Today was the day for the mission's negotiation. Even if there was a result, Xiang Jinghao or Qiu Ruoruo should have presented the memorial, but why did Nuo Min come?
In the deep palace, the emperor arranged his clothes and sat majestically on the dragon chair in the Chengming Hall. The candlelight flickered in the broad hall, and each candlestick had accumulated a lot of wax oil. It was unknown how long it had been burning.
Nuomin's carriage and horses were left outside the palace wall, and she walked into the imperial city alone. Today she is still wearing the clothes on the grassland, and her style is completely different from the women's clothes in Dachu. Women in Dachu are gentle, pleasant, virtuous and dignified.
Most of them are light colors such as pink and white. The clothes on the grassland are not as exquisite as Dachu, and most of them are dark colors such as blue and gray.
Nuo Min was wearing a black skirt and a gray velvet robe. She walked into the Chengming Hall alone, looking very heroic.
This was the second time that the Emperor of Chu met Nuo Min. He could only think of one sentence in his mind - who said women are inferior to men? He couldn't help but wonder if the princesses under his knees were as calm and courageous as Nuo Min.
"Nuo Min pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Da Chu." Nuo Min clenched his right fist on his chest and bowed.
This is etiquette on the grassland.
The emperor was in a high position and looked down at Nuo Min. "Princess, are you satisfied with today's discussion?" The conditions he personally set have given the Steppe Wolf Court enough face. If he doesn't know the importance, there will only be war.
Walk.
Nuo Min raised his head, no matter how majestic the other party was, he looked directly into his eyes. "His Majesty's idea of opening up a racecourse makes Nuo Min admire him. Being able to put aside hatred, think about the safety of the people, calm the war, and benefit the people of the two countries is really what a benevolent king calls Nuo Min."
There is no reason not to agree. But as your majesty said, it is hard for Nuo Min to obey the order of destroying our Prairie Wolf Court. Even if he is in a foreign land, Nuo Min will not live without seeking safety."
To be sure, Nuomin's words were full of anger.
"Who said this?" The emperor slapped the dragon chair, and an angry voice resounded throughout the hall. "My edict is to open up a horse farm for mutual benefit with the grassland. How can there be any talk of destroying the Wolf Court!"
"Today in Honglu Temple, what the Crown Prince of Chu said personally, could it be that it was not His Majesty's instruction!"
"Prince of Chu?" The emperor stood up, thought for a few moments, and said, "Princess Nuomin, it is absolutely impossible for me to say such words as to destroy the Langting. Otherwise, why would I open a racecourse with the Langting? Wait for me
Find out the truth and give an explanation to the princess."
