Qin Yun couldn't hold it in any longer and laughed heartily.
"Your Majesty, what is it? Tell Xiang'er quickly, or Xiang'er won't obey!" She puffed up her cheeks and said coquettishly.
Qin Yun stretched out his hand to straighten her soft black hair, and quietly made a reminder with his hand under the quilt.
Concubine Xiao Shu's delicate body trembled, and Danfeng's eyes were watery.
The next second, she reacted.
Unbearable shame and anger: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... you!"
"Why are you teasing Xiang'er with such erotic words!" She blushed as red as blood, thinking that she had just kept guessing, and the result was such a shameful thing.
"Xian'er is ignoring you!" She buried her head deeply into the quilt and refused to come out.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Qin Yun's evil laughter spread throughout the Yangxin Palace. Sometimes he teased Concubine Xiao Shu, and it was fun to see her shy, giving people unlimited reverie and beauty.
A night of spring breeze melts the frost under the eaves, just like the sweet whispers between flowers in midsummer.
Two days later.
A piece of breaking news excited Qin Yun so much that he jumped up from his throne.
At the same time, it also pulled him out of his rosy life!
"Ha ha ha ha!"
He let out a hearty laugh, making the officials in the Tai Chi Hall look at each other in shock.
Gu Chuntang cupped his hands and smiled: "Your Majesty, it has been a long time since the spring breeze blew on your face. I wonder if the situation in Xiliang has eased?"
"Haha, Gu Aiqing, that's right!"
"The King of Zhenbei has just received a letter. There was civil strife in Xiliang three days ago. My alienation plan worked. Sima Zong and Sima Cang fought hard to seize power. Sima Cang has been arrested!"
"The King of Zhenbei took my command and took advantage of the chaos to attack the Xiliang granary and win a complete victory!"
"Now there is a civil war in Xiliang. Fifty thousand soldiers and horses have disobeyed Sima Zong and sneaked out of the city. They abandoned the secret and turned to the light to plead guilty to me."
"At the same time, Xiliang is short of food in the winter and is forced to apply for peace talks with me!"
Hearing this, the Taiji Hall started discussing in excitement.
"Haha, great, Your Majesty is wise!"
"Little Sima Zong, there is no need to worry!"
"If he still wants peace talks, what qualifications does he have to ask him to come to see His Majesty himself!"
"..."
Qin Yun suppressed the agitation of the ministers and said with a smile: "My dear friends, please be quiet for a while."
"I want to accept this peace negotiation and calm down the Xiliang incident. What do you think?"
The ministers looked at each other and Gu Chuntang and others.
Gu Chuntang said: "Your Majesty, I wonder how you want to negotiate peace?"
Qin Yun's eyes were cold: "Master Sun and other corpses must be returned, and the heavy troops who climbed the city must be withdrawn. This is a prerequisite for peace talks!"
Xiao Jian stood up and asked again: "Your Majesty, what about the military and political power of Xiliang?"
"Sima Zong holds great power and commits heinous crimes. It is impossible for him to be arrested without hesitation."
Qin Yundao: "Of course I know that he will not be captured without mercy, and of course I know that he will support his troops and respect himself."
"So for peace talks, he must come in person!"
"Behind him is Wang Min's plan. This vicious woman is absconding and causing trouble. I must catch them all!"
Xiao Jian and others looked stern.
He frowned and said worriedly: "But Your Majesty, will Sima Zong come?"
"And Wang Min is even more elusive. I haven't been able to catch anyone for so long. I'm afraid she won't show up."
Qin Yun tapped his fingers on the table and said, "Sima Tu has learned from his past mistakes. He will definitely not come forward in person. He will only send a scapegoat."
"I also understand that the matter in Xiliang cannot be settled by talking."
"But I want to minimize the impact and try not to cause internal friction and give the aliens an opportunity."
"So the right way to negotiate for peace is to first stabilize Sima Zong and not do stupid things, and then eat away at the hearts of everyone in Xiliang. Now that 50,000 soldiers and horses have returned to the court, there will definitely be more in the future."
Zhao Heng, Minister of War, immediately seconded the proposal.
"Your Majesty is right, it is wise to stabilize the situation first!"
"Winter is coming, there are at least two months left, and the journey is long. It is really difficult to march and fight at this time. If we rush to fight, the court will pay a huge price."
"It's better to wait until spring and use both soft and hard tactics to kill Sima Zong and regain control of Xiliang!"
Qin Yun nodded: "That's what I mean."
"I am willing to endure this tone to protect Daxia's national foundation by enduring it for a while!"
Many ministers agreed.
They knelt down and shouted together: "Your Majesty is wise and endures for the prosperity of Daxia. We admire you!"
Qin Yun waved his hand: "Gu Aiqing, you should be responsible for this matter. Issue an imperial edict to Sima Zong, asking him to hand over the bodies of Master Sun and others, and come to the imperial capital for peace talks as a confession."
"Otherwise, the territory will be blocked by heavy snow and there will be no food for the winter, and the rule of his Sima family will be prematurely terminated!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Gu Chuntang bent down and said.
"Oh, by the way, I only give him four days. Within four days, I want to see his people in Xiliang!"
"Otherwise, there will be no need for peace talks. And if Xiliang dares to rebel openly, let him spend the winter by himself, command the so-called three hundred thousand cavalry, and fight with me in the Climbing City!"
Qin Yun's eyes shot out a sharp light that made it impossible to look directly at him.
War is the worst plan. If he doesn't obey, he will have no choice but to fight in person, even if it involves internal friction!
"Wei Chen understands the size, please rest assured, Your Majesty." Gu Chuntang held his hand.
"Well, that's it. My dear friends, you have to follow your own rules. If you don't have the rules, you can retreat from the court."
…
The imperial decree departed from the imperial capital and was rushed to Xiliang and then to the governor's mansion on the second night.
Heavy snow roared, covering the entire courtyard.
Xiliang's military and political officials gathered together.
At this moment, the lights are flickering, and everyone has sad faces.
"Grand Governor, what should we do? Our army has very little military rations left, and we can only survive for twelve days at most."
"Oh, our troops are even worse. They can only last for seven days at most. Once the food is gone and they starve in the winter, the soldiers will inevitably mutiny."
"Grand Governor, think of a solution quickly. There are more than 200,000 soldiers waiting for food. If..."
"Enough!!"
Sima Zong was dressed in a military uniform and roared angrily. His young face was a bit vigorous but not steady enough at the same time.
He cursed angrily: "A bunch of trash, haven't you run out of food yet? Why are you making such a fuss!"
The generals were silent and frowned.
"This Sima Cang, you bastard. If he hadn't mutinied, how could the imperial court take the opportunity to sneak attack on my Xiliang granary!"
Sima Zong cursed angrily and blamed others for the failure.
Bang!
He punched the table again: "Humph, this bitch emperor really doesn't take Sima Zong seriously. He will go to the imperial capital to see him in four days!"
"Who does he think he is? Does he still think that I, Xiliang, am the former Xiliang?"
"When I rebel, I will attack your city sooner or later and threaten your imperial capital! Humph!"
His complaints and venting did not solve the problem, but instead caused the displeasure of many military generals.
Although he didn't say it, he felt in his heart that Sima Zong was too young to face the wind and rain.
Involuntarily, many generals looked towards the side of the hall, the figure behind the red gauze curtain!
That was Wang Min. Unknowingly, she had climbed to the backbone of Xiliang's military affairs. It seemed that Sima Zong was in charge of many things, but in fact she was just an obedient puppet.
Many generals would rather point their fingers at Wang Min for advice than listen to Sima Zong's incompetent rage.
The red gauze bead curtain reflects Wang Min's graceful figure, mysterious, charming and wise!
She was like a queen mother who "listened to politics behind the curtain" at the moment. When everyone was silent, she smiled sweetly and spoke slowly when needed.
"Grand Governor, generals, there is no need to panic."
"Even if the food is lost, we in Xiliang will not be in chaos. If there is really chaos, Qin Yun will not dare to watch it."
