Hello Chang’an

 Chapter 629 There will be no more princesses to marry

Outside the big tent, Cui Jing led Xuance's army to guard it.

In the tent, Li Suining was at the top, A Dian was standing beside her, followed by shepherd's purse, Wu Jue, Tang Xing, and several counselors and counselors who were accompanying them.

A Beidi official presented the draft peace document to Li Suining for her to review.

After looking at the lines of tens of thousands of horses and animals as tribute, and the promise never to violate the country again, Li Suining showed satisfaction, closed the document, and a female soldier took it and handed it to the Several military advisors checked.

What followed was a discussion between the two parties on details. The atmosphere was generally harmonious. Dasheng's side did not feel as domineering as Beidi officials imagined, but felt very relaxed.

The Beidi officials secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Some people thought to themselves that it was fortunate that the Great Sheng court was in chaos. Just imagine, if those aggressive and scheming civil servants from the Sheng state had come today, the peace negotiation would not be so simple.

This sense of relaxation lasted until the woman in front of him spoke up and bluntly stated that she had another request.

The Beidi officials exchanged glances and heard their queen say: "Please give me your Majesty's instructions. The Khanate will not refuse anything within its power."

Under Li Suining's instruction, shepherd's purse stood up, took out the thing from the back of her waist, walked to the center of the tent, unfolded the scroll of pictures, and faced the people in Beidi.

It was actually a topographic map of Beidi.

Although the level of detail cannot be compared with maps, the various mountain ranges and major rivers are accurately depicted... This frightened Beidi officials. They still didn't know when and how Sheng people had such an understanding of their territory. , which requires many years of exploration and measurement.

Was it Mr. Sheng who planted an informant, or was there a traitor in their royal court? Or both?

It seems foolish and impulsive to ask questions at this time, not to mention that the real problem is not here...

Everyone in Beidi was in shock and doubt, and their eyes fell on the three locations circled in red ink in the picture.

They are located above, on the left, and on the right side of their Khanate's tooth tent. The upper circle is Langjuxu Mountain, the left is between Ubu Sunuoer Lake and Udtun Mountain, and the right is between Qiaoba Mountain and Ke Lulon River area.

They are all places with abundant water and grass, and they are all strategic locations.

The voice of the woman above sounded at the right time: "I want to change the Anbei Protector's Palace to the Anbei Protector's Palace, and set up three local Protectorate's Palaces in these three places, all under the jurisdiction of the Anbei Protectorate-"

Amid the tremors, she asked, "What do you think?"

"...How can this be done!" A Beidi official suddenly stood up and blurted out Beidi words: "In this case, what has become of our khanate! A domestic slave of Dasheng? This is simply too much!"

Setting up a Protectorate within them is clearly to turn them into the second Western Region!

Other officials paid attention to Li Suining's demeanor and signaled the noisy officials to calm down. He stood up, bowed his arms and saluted Li Suining seriously, and said in a calm tone: "Your Highness, your country has established the Anbei Protectorate. Monitoring borders…”

Before he finished speaking, Li Suining calmly interrupted and asked: "But you still provoked wars more than once, didn't you?"

"This shows that the Anbei Protectorate has gradually become ineffective over the years and is not enough to maintain peace between the two countries." She smiled slightly and said: "Since it is not enough, it is natural to add more chips. Isn't this reasonable?"

The meaning of her words could not be clearer. It was Beidi who failed to comply with the agreement first. The Anbei Protectorate is the bottom line of Dasheng. Since Beidi violated this bottom line, she doesn't mind moving it further. .

The bottom line set by Dasheng is not to be tested repeatedly by them. If it is not tested, it must pay the corresponding price.

Li Suining's words were not serious, but there was no room for change in his attitude.

Sheeps purse put away the topographic map, held it in his hand, and said loudly: "His Royal Highness has set up protective palaces everywhere to prevent your country from falling into a situation where the tribes are divided again! And our officials are stationed here, so But if you civilize your people’s wisdom, not to mention the diplomatic relations between the two countries, the one who will benefit and prosper must be your Khanate!”

As he said that, he slightly cupped his hands towards the Beidi officials who had complicated expressions: "I have put great efforts into Your Highness, and if you don't want to appreciate it, then you won't be able to accompany me!"

"Wait!"

The queen stood up, bowed to Li Suining, and then told the Beidi officials that she wanted to have a private conversation with Her Royal Highness.

The officials turned around and went out with different expressions. They were either pacing anxiously outside the tent or talking in twos and threes with unhappy expressions on their faces. However, when they saw the Xuanjia troops guarding them, they lowered their voices again and again.

In the tent, Li Suining's men did not retreat. She told the queen that these were her confidants and there was no need to avoid anything.

The queen nodded, first glanced at Tang Xing who was sitting cross-legged, and then said: "Your Highness, General Tang never made such a request when he discussed cooperation with me."

Tang Xing smiled and replied instead: "That was the original way of cooperation, but the Queen thought about it too long and agreed too late. But for the peace talks here today, in addition to the Queen's contribution, more of it is me. The conditions for the situation that the imperial concubine and the soldiers fought with their own flesh and blood cannot be generalized."

If King Beidi Khan returns to the west as soon as possible, the war is expected to calm down as soon as possible, and there will be fewer casualties as soon as possible, and Her Royal Highness may not need to risk her life.

The queen felt a little depressed: "Didn't General Tang know the situation at that time? At first, the battle situation was not clear, and Tilie was still in the royal court. How could I dare to agree rashly because I was weak and weak?"

"Queen, your difficulties are not a problem that our army needs to consider." Tang Xing still smiled. He was never arrogant and always spoke in a clear, forthright and uninhibited way:

"Risk-taking is also the price of cooperation. You don't want to take too many risks. You always weigh the pros and cons and wait for the opportunity. Naturally, the results will be different."

"Besides, the defeated party doesn't have much bargaining power -" Tang Xing said with a smile: "The winner and the loser will all depend on their abilities. If the queen has enough skills, she can first get rid of the Khan by cooperating with me, and then preside over The general situation continued to fight against our army, and then turned around and silenced Tang Mou, who had nothing to say. "

After hearing such words, the queen loosened her clenched fists, breathed out her heart, and slowly showed a smile: "Yes, I have learned a lesson."

She has her own intelligence and calculations, but it is true that she has not had much exposure to real politics, and in this regard, she does seem too naive and naive.

She still needs to learn a lot.

The queen bent her arms, bowed her head and saluted upward: "The Khanate is willing to comply with the wishes of Her Royal Highness."

Li Suining: "Can the Queen have full authority to decide this matter?"

The Queen raised her head slightly and smiled: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you hold your hand high. My brother is still here, so people can feel at ease."

It was not until this moment that she truly understood the purpose of the Dasheng Princess in sparing her brother's life.

That day, Li Suining did not kill Asteh Yuanli.

Yuan Li is a talented general, which Li Suining admires but also fears. Although removing him is a safe choice, it will not be conducive to her next actions -

Queen Beidi needs Yuanli's help to stabilize the situation.

And Li Suining needed this queen to control Beidi for her.

It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a woman to become the ruler of Beidi. Women are more cautious and good at avoiding danger by nature, which is extremely beneficial to Dasheng. And this queen has not yet had time to become a mature and qualified politician, which is undoubtedly more appropriate.

Killing Yuanli at such a juncture would shake the situation again and create a rift between her and the queen - there was absolutely no need for her to test humanity and the queen's obedience in this way.

Only by giving them the sense of security they deserve, making them calm, and preventing them from being dominated by meaningless negative emotions can we achieve long-term cooperation.

In small matters, there is no need to test or test, but grace and forgiveness will be given. When it comes to the big picture, one must show dignity and leave no room for discussion.

The queen observed the way this was done, and she felt more sincere towards the young woman above her.

At this moment, she almost firmly thought that if the other party could become the Lord of Dasheng, she and her Anai would also be able to own a brand new Northern Desert Khanate. Even if it was suppressed by others, it would be able to stand under the wings of the great one. Well, how can it not be regarded as a kind of steady luck?

The queen put forward her conditions, the conditions she had told Tang Xing that she wanted to interview the princess.

The ten-year-old girl walked into the tent, stood beside her mother, and bowed her arms upward together with her mother.

The queen's voice was like the most sacred oath on the snowy plain: "Your Highness, please allow my daughter Anai to become the new king of Beidi. From now on, Anai and I will be your loyal ministers."

This was what she had in mind when she decided to kill her husband.

Kill the most noble person and become the most noble person. Killing in this way makes sense.

Li Suining's eyes fell on the little girl: "Princess Anai is the only bloodline of the King Xianhan. The queen's invitation will be approved by our court."

She is very young, but her mother, her uncle, will teach and support her.

Anai finally came back to her senses. Her eyes widened in disbelief and she was a little incoherent: "...Am I going to become a person like a Khan? Am I going to become a Khan that everyone respects?" She spoke Beidi dialect, Li Suining answered her in Beidi language: "You will become the queen of the Khanate. Whether you can be respected by others depends on your ability."

Anai's heart was beating wildly. She didn't know what power was yet, but she thought of her father. Such a comparison made her palms full of sweat. She saluted uprightly again and straightened her little back: "Ah Nye took note of it!”

Seeing that she straightened her back and looked very majestic, A Dian also hurriedly straightened her back even more, for fear that his Highness would be outdone.

Anai noticed his movements and subconsciously stood up straighter.

A Dian followed suit and raised and tensed his chin.

Five days later, everything was settled. In addition to Da Sheng's plan to set up three protective palaces in Beidi, the royal court also announced the decision to establish Princess Anai as the new king, with the queen as regent.

The turmoil under this measure is rising and is being suppressed.

In the evening, the queen formally held a grand dinner to entertain the queen.

A Dian ate roast lamb and drank hot goat's milk wine as he wished.

There was a bonfire burning outside the tent, and Anai took A Dian out to play. Over the past few days, the two had become friends and playmates.

When Anai and Ah Dian arrived at the viewing corner, a figure came over. Anai shouted happily: "Uncle!"

Asteh Yuanli came over and saluted her with a gentle expression.

Anai asked him: "Is uncle's hand still hurting?"

"Much better, don't worry."

Li Suining did not kill Yuan Li, but Yuan Li cut off four fingers of his right hand with a knife to show his sincerity in apologising.

Yuan Li asked Anai at this time: "Where is your mother?"

Anai raised his hand and pointed in the direction.

Beside the bonfire, the queen was chatting and laughing with Tang Xing.

Yuan Li walked over, and Tang Xing greeted him with a smile, then left with the wine bottle.

Seeing the queen looking after Tang Xing with undiminished smile, Yuan Li was silent for a moment and asked: "Lanna, do you like this Han general?"

The queen turned her gaze back and replied with a smile: "Brother, he is very different from others. And if it weren't for him, Anai and I wouldn't be here."

Yuan Li clenched his fist slightly, and after a moment, he still said: "If you like it, I will keep him."

"No need." The queen said, "He can't be trapped here."

"He said that if we are destined to meet again, we will meet again." She said, looking at her brother with a calm smile: "These are small things. The future between me, Anai and Brother is a big deal."

Yuan Li raised the corners of his mouth slightly and nodded to her.

At this time, Anai ran over, and the queen waved to her daughter.

Yuan Li looked at the mother and daughter in front of him, with a steady warmth between his brows.

Tang Xing, who had walked some distance away, looked back at the three people and said with a smile: "There are means."

The unmarried General Yuanli probably treated her more than a brother and sister, but how could she not notice it, pretend not to know, yet control everything just right, making him willing to be used by her? This is also a very remarkable thing. ability.

And you love me as much as you like, and it's not the turn of outsiders to judge.

Tang Xing drank a pot of wine, threw away the flask, drew his sword and danced. The more he danced, the more he felt his mood was soaring.

Not far away, Cui Jing pushed Li Suining away from the crowd, looking at the stars and the moon quietly outside the hustle and bustle.

Li Suining talked to Cui Jing about many old experiences in Beidi.

Cui Jing looked at the person in front of her, the moonlight fell lightly on her hair and shoulders. She talked about the stretching mountains and rivers, the blue lakes, and the gorgeous bonfires, but there were no scars from the past.

Finally, she raised her hand to point to the mountains and the bright moon in the distance, and asked him with a smile: "Cui Jing, do you think I have brought the mountains and the moon of the Northern Desert to entertain you now?"

"Forget it." Cui Jing: "I will take good care of them and keep them safe for you."

"I knew you would say that." Li Suining's voice sounded very good.

The two of them sat and stood together and stayed here for a long time.

When the bonfire died down, Cui Jing pushed Li Suining back.

He walked slowly, talked to her about something, and asked for her opinion. The queen proposed to build a temple for Princess Chongyue, so that she could receive incense and merit here forever to show the Khanate's apology.

"No need." Li Suining said, "Chong Yue doesn't want to stay here. She has already gone home."

"From now on, I, Da Sheng, will never have a princess to marry."

She finally said in a relaxed tone: "Cui Ling'an, it's time for us to go home."

"Okay." Cui Jing: "Let's go home."

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, Sheng Jun officially embarked on his return journey.

Li Suining was sitting comfortably in the car, and Cui Jing was leading the way for her.

A Dian Ye and Wu Jue got into the carriage together. At this moment, the two of them were staring at the two little things wrapped in blankets in the carriage.

That was thrown in by Yufeng before leaving.

First one, then another, and both of them were thrown into A Dian's arms.

A Dian, the child caretaker who was personally chosen by Yu Feng, was holding the fluttering little eagle in his arms. He was at a loss and begged Wu Jue to help him find a solution.

The two of them hurriedly took off the two eaglets, which had already grown brown feathers, and carefully wrapped them up, regardless of whether they were needed or not. This is not the case with babies.

At this time, A Dian stared at them, looking at their sparse heads, and suddenly discovered some secret, and said in surprise: "Master Wujue, they seem to follow you!"

Wu Jue was very angry, and even more angry was that he understood it all at once!

"You unlucky kid!" Wujue was so angry that he wanted to hit someone.

"I mean before!" A Dian quickly hugged his head and said, "It's not like that now!"

Wujue withdrew the hand that hit the person, touched the false bun on his head, snorted twice, slept on his arms, and ignored A Dian.

A Dian soon became worried about the names of the two eaglets. He begged Wu Jue to come up with their names, but Wu Jue still ignored him angrily.

Yufeng, who was dragging his family along with him, took the initiative to explore the road ahead and was a very competent scout.

The eagle screams clearly, the sky is high, and the snow melts, gradually revealing the green color of new grass.

The soldiers walking on the way back from the great victory were all in high spirits and eager to bring this great glory of victory back to their homeland.
