Today Liu Xiyuan contradicted Xu Xiangfeng in the court, and it was impossible to stay in the court for long.

Fortunately, his original intention was not to stay in the court anymore, but he just happened to find a reason to decentralize. After he killed these old men in the future, there would always be a chance to promote him back.

The emperor was wondering how long he had to live before Xu Xiangfeng died, but Xu Xiangfeng stepped forward to trouble him: "It is precisely because of the grudge between the two parties that His Highness King Shu should marry the Princess of Xirong, so that he can show his love."

The two countries are determined to have a good relationship. As for what Mr. Liu said, the fact that Princess Xirong’s status is higher than that of the generals will cause dissatisfaction among the soldiers, I think it is really too much."

"After Princess Xirong married His Highness King Shu, she was just a housewife living in the back house. She had no contact with the soldiers of Western Xinjiang."

After saying that, Xu Xiangfeng asked again, "In terms of status, if Princess Xirong marries Prince Duan as the princess, her status will be the same as those of the soldiers, or even higher. Master Liu, do you think this is the case?"

"What the Prime Minister said seems reasonable, but in fact it is not."

Liu Xiyuan was not afraid of the implicit threat in Xu Xianfeng's words, and immediately retorted, "His Royal Highness King Shu is the Marshal of the Western Xinjiang Army. Even if Princess Xirong lives in the back house, if she marries His Highness King Shu, she will inevitably

She has had contacts with the soldiers and people of Western Xinjiang. Considering the hatred of Xirong by the soldiers and people of Western Xinjiang, Princess Xirong may have a difficult time arriving in Western Xinjiang."

"And if she is married to His Royal Highness Prince Duan as a concubine, and Princess Xirong lives in Kangdu, it will be difficult for her to adapt to the customs and customs of Kangdu. However, she will not be as miserable as in Western Xinjiang. And with Princess Duan taking care of her, it will be faster.

It adapts well to the customs of Wu'an."

Liu Xiyuan smiled and threw the question back to Xu Xiangfeng, "Even if it is a marriage, Princess Xirong should naturally be considered. Does the Prime Minister think this is true?"

Xu Xiangfeng raised his eyes and looked at Liu Xiyuan and said: "Master Liu came to Kangdu for the first time and was involved in government affairs for the first time. He is still not very familiar with state affairs. In Wu'an, the relatives of the border guards all live in Kangdu. So Xirong

When the princess marries His Highness King Shu, she will also live in Kangdu City and does not have to go far to Western Xinjiang."

"This is an oversight on the part of Wei Chen."

Liu Xiyuan laughed, smiling, but refused to give in, "But since it's a marriage, why does it have to be the prince marrying Princess Xirong?"

"The two princesses are married."

Xu Xiangfeng reminded Liu Xiyuan, "Master Liu is still young, so you should not be too impetuous. You should be careful about everything to avoid being said to have a bad memory."

"Thank you, Prime Minister, for your advice. The students are very grateful."

Liu Xiyuan praised the meeting and said, "The student just thinks that since Xirong is a defeated country and has broken the treaty first, it seems too much for us to marry the prince to the princess of Xirong or marry the princess to the imperial city of Xirong.

Lift up Xirong."

"The Analects of Confucius says: How can we repay kindness with kindness? I think that Xirong did something unjust this time. Even the prince and princess can also be included in the candidates for this marriage."

Liu Xiyuan advised the emperor, "Xirong did an unjust act this time, and used the marriage as a threat to influence the peace talks and compensation. The ministers thought that if their wish was really fulfilled and the prince and princess got married, it would not be the case.

You fell into the opponent's trap and got the short end of the stick in the peace talks."

"Wei Chen still said the same thing. Since it is a marriage, we should also consider Princess Xirong. As long as Princess Xirong nods to marry, then everything will be uncontroversial."

"Liu Aiqing's words make sense."

Xu Xiangfeng wanted to argue coldly, but was interrupted by the emperor, "In this way, Mr. Zhong will also include the princess and the princess in the selection of relatives. How should we arrange it so that the prince and princess can have peace talks with Xirong who is on an envoy to our country this time?"

The prince and Princess Xirong live in harmony and friendship, I believe Aiqing will be able to give me a satisfactory answer."

"Since the two countries are negotiating peace, it is natural to deepen their understanding of each other in order to better promote win-win cooperation."

The emperor was very happy and said, "We old people are all stubborn and have become irreversible. But there is no harm in the young people communicating with each other and learning from each other's strengths. Why not, please invite the Prince and Princess of Xirong,

Entering the Imperial Academy, I will study with the princes and princesses for a period of time, deepen our relationship, and play in Kangdu for a while, so that we can fulfill our friendship as landlords."

"What do you dear ladies think?"

Valley

The ministers looked at each other and looked at Xu Xiangfeng.

Liu Xiyuan glanced at Xu Xiangfeng, who had a cold expression, and stood up first, saying, "I think this is a very good move."

If someone takes the lead, naturally there will be others who want to follow suit.

It's just that Xu Xiangfeng didn't speak, and those who were afraid of offending Xu Xiangfeng didn't dare to speak.

"I think this is feasible."

Wang Weitao echoed, then glanced at Xu Xiangfeng and put him on the shelf, "The Prime Minister has always put the country first. I think he was worried about the Western Rong's power, but he was unwilling to let him arrogantly overwhelm us in the peace talks.

Colleagues are humiliated.”

"The Prime Minister loves all officials as much as he loves his own children. He must not want to see the adults who are going for peace talks. He also wants to see the faces of those unjust people in Xirong, and he feels aggrieved."

Liu Xiyuan followed Wang Weitao's words and blocked Xu Xiangfeng's refusal.

Xu Xiangfeng glanced coldly at Wang Weitao and Liu Xiyuan who were singing together.

Each of these two people seemed to be praising him, but in fact it made it difficult for him to refuse the emperor's proposal.

If he refuses, it means that he saw Xirong's power and was afraid, so he bowed his head to Xirong and wanted the civil and military officials of the court and even the entire Wu'an Kingdom to pretend to be a grandson in front of Xirong.

It is important to assess the situation, but a country's pride should not be lost.

As a prime minister who serves the country and the people, and the head of a hundred officials, he is the one who should retain the pride of the country after assessing the situation.

Otherwise, the popularity and popularity he has accumulated during most of his life in government and opposition will be greatly reduced.

Xu Xiangfeng turned back and looked at the emperor in the high position with his half-lidded triangular eyes.

The little emperor finally raised two good dogs and learned how to drive them away from biting people.

Xu Xiangfeng lowered his eyes, suppressed the cold light in his eyes, cupped his hands and said, "I have no objection to this."

Xu Xiangfeng lowered his head.

The rest of the people naturally agreed one after another.

But among the remaining people, there were two who couldn't help but agree.

The emperor glanced at Xu Kaida, who was full of resentment and reluctantly seconded the proposal, and turned away silently, not daring to ask.

To keep an envoy in Beijing, the expenses would naturally be astronomical.

But now the state treasury is running deep in debt, waiting for Xirong's compensation to settle the accounts. As a result, he still has to drag out the peace talks.
