dream of red mansion

Seeing this, Wang Ziteng said: "Come here, send Jinwu Khan back to rest."

Jinwu Khan did not refuse, he knew that Wang Ziteng and others were going to discuss more confidential military affairs, and it was already inconvenient for him to be here as an outsider.

As soon as he left, Wang Ziteng was about to arrange the specific deployment, but he received a tip from the court.

"Marriage, the imperial court actually accepted their marriage proposal! They can't understand such a simple plan to slow down the war!"

Prince Teng said angrily.

......

The south study room was silent.

After a long time, Emperor Zhengqing said to Fang Shou and the others, "How sincere do you think the Russians are in negotiating peace this time?"

Here, sitting at this moment are all his most confidant courtiers.

"Less than five floors."

After thinking for a moment, Cui Wenlong spoke first.

"Their 20 cavalry came aggressively. They have only been fighting for half a year, and they have not yet shown a defeat. How can they sincerely negotiate peace with us?"

"However, they took the initiative to agree to marry the princess to our Dachu."

Wu Hao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, also said, and immediately said: "Is it true that what Wang Ziteng said, this is their plan to delay the army. They really have run out of food and grass. Seeing that they have been unable to attack for a long time, they are planning a temporary truce. The intention is to completely occupy Tatar first. Fight again?"

Hearing this, Emperor Zhengqing seemed very hesitant.

Wang Ziteng has given him several memorials in succession.In fact, he agrees with many of Wang Ziteng's views.

How...

"Father, I have already made preparations. I am confident that I will win this battle..."

"Soldiers are weapons. There is no sure way to win. You have to remember the ancient saying that war is dangerous. Now that the other side has offered to negotiate a peace, there is no reason for you not to."

"But......"

"You don't have to. Before you wanted to fight, I won't stop you. Because peace without the baptism of blood cannot be maintained.

Now half a year has passed since the war, and the people are trapped in the quagmire of war. As the king of a country, you can't bear it!

All right, back off. "

This is a conversation he had that day when he went to pay his respects to the Supreme Emperor.

"His Majesty?"

Dai Quan called out.

Emperor Zhengqing came back to his senses, and said to Lin Ruhai, "How is the household department?"

Lin Ruhai replied: "The treasury's money and food can still support the war ahead for more than a year. If the imperial court does not spend too much in the next three years, the whole country is stable, and there are no excessive natural disasters, even if we fight for a few more years, we can still support it!"

Emperor Zhengqing's heart felt hot when he heard this, and he calmed down immediately.

He probably guessed the reason why the Supreme Emperor wanted to discuss peace.

The whole country is stable, and it can be supported by fighting at the border for several years!However, what is the stability of the whole country means that there are no natural disasters or rebellions in Dachu, and the imperial court spends all its money on wars.

The Supreme Emperor, he is already in his 80s, and what he hopes is to enjoy his old age peacefully.

The Supreme Emperor is not an emperor who advocates frugality.Perhaps, he was already dissatisfied with the reduction of expenditure by the court before.

The most important thing is that the Supreme Emperor may not necessarily want him to win this battle...

When Emperor Zhengqing thought of this, his pupils shrank.

"In any case, let the Ministry of Rites proceed with the peace negotiation, and we will discuss other matters in the light of the current situation." In the end, Emperor Zhengqing concluded in this way.

"Yes."

Everyone is not fully sure of the current situation.The main reason is that Emperor Zhengqing's own attitude is very vague, and it's hard for them to make too many assertions.

"Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

Emperor Zhengqing nodded, and suddenly said: "Cui Aiqing stay."

Cui Wenlong stayed behind, and the others left one by one.

"The Ministry of Rites wrote a letter today asking about the candidates for the wedding envoy. Do you have any suggestions?"

Emperor Zhengqing said.

The other party took the initiative to send the princess to Da Chu to make a marriage, and Da Chu naturally had to show his attitude.

Therefore, the selection of the welcoming envoy is particularly important.

Too high a status seems to be flattering, after all, the two countries are now at war.If the status is too low, he will be accused of being negligent.

Cui Wenlong is the person who understands Emperor Zhengqing's thoughts best, and he knows Emperor Zhengqing's attitude.

Originally, it would be best to choose someone from the royal family as the envoy, but it seems that Emperor Zhengqing didn't want that, so...

"The minister has a candidate."

"who?"

"What do you think of Jia Qing, Your Majesty?"

Emperor Zhengqing frowned.

Cui Wenlong continued: "Your Majesty, don't forget, he is the younger brother of Concubine Jia."

Emperor Zhengqing gradually understood what Cui Wenlong meant, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"The one who knows me is the only one who loves you."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The winter sky is always so cold, so gloomy, so people have the urge to go home and get under the covers.

"Stinky, tell me another story."

The voice that was like a nightmare came from my ear, and I couldn't get rid of it all the time.Jia Qing turned his head, and saw Princess Xingyue lift the curtain of the phoenix chariot, and asked him with a blushing face.

"No more." He rode on a tall horse, tightened the general's cloak around him, and refused politely.
