Travel through ancient times and become a great hero
Chapter 76: Khan's Enlightenment
Although the majority agreed to a ceasefire, there were still a few who supported the eldest prince.
If you eat someone's food, you should feel guilty about it; if you take something from someone, you should feel guilty about it.
Eat and drink well, the palace banquet is over. No need to negotiate. They retreated on their own.
Qingyang felt more relaxed than ever before.
He thought he was eloquent and the emperor sent him as a lobbyist, but he was like a mute, with no room for him to speak.
Princess Huilan used practical actions to make other countries retreat without fighting.
A remarkable woman. Qingyang was convinced.
As for the eldest prince, he has been very angry ever since his food and supplies were lost and his camp was burned down last time.
He didn't understand why his father, the Khan, asked for a ceasefire for his sister. Moreover, the Khan disliked him more and more. This time, he even asked his second brother to come from the Western Xinjiang to pick up his sister, and he didn't trust him as the crown prince.
He felt that his position as the crown prince was about to be removed by the King of Han. He tried to please them carefully, but no one understood him.
In order to save himself, he withheld the silver given by the court for buying food and fodder over the years.
Let the officers and soldiers eat the worst food and feed the war horses the worst feed.
Fortunately, the war has ceased. He can use the money to support his own soldiers, and from now on he can have his own power and no longer be controlled by the old man.
So he put the silver and all valuables inside the fake stone so as not to arouse suspicion.
This hole was dug by one of his trusted followers from outside. Later, he blocked the hole from outside and dealt with that person as well.
Late at night, Xia Luo and Situ Jin came behind the fake stone wearing black clothes.
Charlotte pressed the mechanism with her hand and the door opened. The two of them quickly went in and closed the door. Charlotte took out the night pearl from the space.
It was as bright as day in the cave.
I saw that the entrance of the cave was a semicircle. I walked a long way inside before I saw a stone house.
Leaning over to take a look, he discovered that it was filled with silver.
Then they went to see another room. It was fully equipped with all kinds of weapons. There were also fire guns from the South Seas. This surprised Situ Jin and Xia Luo.
It seems that they have been to Southeast Asia, or someone from Southeast Asia has visited them.
The two of them didn't understand the situation here, so they continued to move forward and discovered another huge secret.
This place actually leads to the King of Han's bedroom.
Because Charlotte found a mechanism above her head. She pressed it and found that she was in the concubine's small kitchen, a place she was very familiar with.
She closed the mechanism and continued to move forward. There were three paths.
She patted Situ Jin's arm and pointed forward, meaning to move forward first.
After walking for about an hour, they saw a stone blocking the entrance of the cave, and the moonlight could be vaguely seen through the narrow gap.
Charlotte decided that this was the exit.
Charlotte was puzzled. Why did the eldest prince jump over the wall? Wouldn't it be better to leave from here?
The two of them did not dare to act rashly and walked back along the cave.
When they reached the three cave entrances, Charlotte pointed to one, meaning to go there first.
It turned out that the direction was the treasury, because there was a mechanism at each hole.
Needless to say, the other one must lead to the main hall or the imperial study.
Charlotte and Situ Jin walked around in the cave, exhausted, and too lazy to go to the other cave entrance.
They went back and put everything into the space. Why keep it? Rebellion?
The origin of this silver is unknown. I believe that even if the eldest prince finds out, he will not go to anyone to confide in.
Charlotte and her family live outside the palace.
For safety, Situ Jin asked Qingyang to bribe a businessman to buy a house. After they left, the house would belong to the businessman.
But there is one thing that he has to keep secret.
So every time they come out, they go through the back door.
Charlotte always goes out alone.
Situ Jin and Qing Yang stayed in the house.
The Khan verbally announced a ceasefire, but no written agreement was reached.
It’s better for Situ Jin and Qing Yang to show up less often.
It was said impromptu last night. If anything changes, they will have a plan.
Charlotte came to the palace to take care of the princess.
The princess drank a big bowl of rice porridge this morning and her complexion is much better.
Charlotte puts some spiritual spring water into her medicine every day.
I have been taking Chinese medicine for several days now, and I feel more comfortable than ever before.
"I'm going to give you an acupuncture injection in your leg today. If you feel any pain, numbness, or soreness, just tell me."
"Can I still stand up with this leg?" The princess didn't believe that her leg could recover.
"I can't guarantee that your legs will be able to recover to their previous state, but you should be able to stand up. After all, it's been several years, so you have to take it slow."
Charlotte couldn't say for sure, because everyone absorbs medicine differently, and even the effect of acupuncture is different. It varies from person to person.
The Khan mentioned the border war at court this morning.
"Khan, the northern border is now militarily strong and guarded by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so it is difficult for us to enter. They took the initiative to negotiate peace, which shows their sincerity."
"Khan, I think the drunkard has other intentions. He is here with bad intentions."
"Khan, I don't know if I should say this or not, but there's a rumor going around that the eldest prince has been withholding military rations for several years. The soldiers all say that they don't eat as well as the second prince's troops."
"Khan, Subutai returned last night to receive orders."
"My dear ministers, I know all your complaints. The treasury is empty and we have no source of income. The only thing we can do now is to open up trade. Let us, the common people, seek opportunities in business."
"Princess Nalan has returned and brought us news. We must seize this opportunity. The ambassadors from Mobei are also here. While they are here, as long as they are willing to teach us, we must learn with an open mind."
"Tomorrow morning, please invite the ambassador of Mobei to come here to discuss all matters. I hope all civil and military officials will come to the hall to listen. If you have any objections, you can point them out in person. This is a major event for our country and cannot be ignored."
They discussed important matters in the court.
Nalan found Xia Luo and accompanied her to see the location of the restaurant.
Nalan is also a woman who does what she says.
The Northern Capital is not as prosperous as the Northern Capital, probably because the temperature is low and the winter is cold. Few people migrate here.
Charlotte accompanied her walking on the streets of the capital. It was just the beginning of autumn and people had already put on thick cotton clothes.
Wearing a heavy hat.
The shoes also looked heavy. It felt like the whole city was wrapped in cotton.
Charlotte walked around and looked at what they were doing.
There were some in the pharmacy, but they were all herbs for typhoid fever, and there were no rheumatism or painkillers.
There were no money houses and no timber markets.
She knew it.
We came to a restaurant, which was a two-story restaurant with an area of about 500 square meters. All the buildings were made of wood.
"Since you want to start a hot pot business, this is all made of wood. If it catches fire, it will be terrible."
"What should we do? We can't build a tall building on flat ground, right? All the second-floor buildings here are made of wood."
"Then find a house that is not made of wood. A one-story house will do. A restaurant, a restaurant, doesn't necessarily have to be a building." Charlotte thought Nalan's train of thought was a little funny.
"There are many one-story houses. You see, the shops over there are all one-story." Nalan reacted.
When Charlotte looked around, it didn't look like a store at all. It felt more like a hall with an area of more than 2,000 square meters.
The area of each house is about the same, probably because the land is vast and the population is sparse.
"The room is a bit empty. I'll go back and draw a blueprint for you. Then buy tables, chairs and benches and decorate the room according to the blueprint."
"Fairy sister, how about we sign an agreement?" Nalan said suddenly.
