The general said she doesn't take a wife

Chapter 122 Southern Border Upper

"The two of you have no objections, so I will write back to Grassland."

While talking, Lin Aoxue took out a pen from the desk, and began to write a reply letter to Zhe Ji. She ticked off a few of the plans listed in Zhe Ji's document, and proposed amendments. There are no other commercial contacts, so it is better to build a small trading city at the junction of the northern border and the grassland.

The city is divided into north and south sections. The south is guarded by Ningguo troops, and the north is managed by the prairie barbarians. The two sides work together to maintain harmony and stability in the city. Once entering the city, weapons are not allowed in the city, so as to ensure the safety of merchants traveling between small trading cities.

Lin Aoxue wrote down her thoughts and suggestions on trade in detail, and finally wrote:

If your country intends to do business with Ningguo and sign a contract, please send important officials, agree on a place, and discuss in detail face to face.

After she finished writing, she gave the document to the old prime minister and Bei Chenling for review, and after they both nodded in agreement, Lin Aoxue asked her cronies to send the document to the north.

During the next three months, Lin Aoxue and Zhe Ji communicated with each other through letters, and basically determined the main points of the trade between the two countries.

When the cooperation between the two countries was initially decided, Lin Aoxue and Zhe Ji each sent people to the border to check the terrain and prepare for the construction of a small trading city in the future. A little place called Shengshi.

As for the written contract, Bei Chenling took some of Lin Aoxue's personal guards and a small seal to the northern border to have an interview with the grassland envoy, and the meeting place was set at Shengshi.

Ningguo and Grassland each sent ten thousand soldiers and horses to set up a temporary camp in Shengshi. Bei Chenling rushed to the northern border before winter came, and arrived at Shengshi's camp in Ningguo at the appointed time under the escort of Pei Qing. Half an hour later, the people from the grassland who came to negotiate also arrived.

Bei Chenling opened the curtain, guarded by the guards outside the tent carefully. She raised her eyes to look not far away, and saw a few tall horses running towards them. A woman wearing wolf skin clothes arrived at the station first. Turning over and dismounting, all the people following behind were respectful, and Bei Chenling knew that this woman was the new Barbarian King of Boka, Zhe Ji.

The two parties sat down to discuss the contract. When Zhe Ji saw Bei Chenling, the first sentence she said was:

"The girl looks a bit like an old friend of this king."

Yunyan used to serve Bei Chenling, and Bei Chenling knew about her connection with the grassland, so she laughed when she heard that:

"Then the old man that the barbarian king mentioned must be my sister Yunyan."

Zhe Ji raised her eyebrows, a little surprised, but after a closer look, it seemed that Bei Chenling's eyebrows and eyes gradually overlapped with Yun Yan's.She laughed, held the pen in her hand, looked at Bei Chenling and said:

"I don't know if there is a chance to be friends with the girl after today?"

Bei Chenling didn't say no, she didn't say yes, she just pursed her lips and smiled, saying:

"The two countries are in business, and there are exchanges."

Zhe Ji failed to strike up a conversation, so she shrugged helplessly.

Afterwards, they discussed the business contract for about two hours before finally finalizing the plan. Zhe Ji was a straightforward person and immediately signed the document. Bei Chenling also signed her name, and then used Lin Aoxue's small seal stamped.

Because it was the first time for Ningguo and Grassland to do business, Lin Aoxue and Zheji didn't take too long, they just tried to do it for ten years first, and if necessary in the future, they would sign an extended contract.

Bei Chenling took the signed document and left Shengshi. Zheji glanced at the leaving team, curled up her lips, and said with a smile to the people beside her:

"This female official from Ningguo is as eloquent as her elder sister! Both sisters are good people."

When negotiating the contract just now, Bei Chenling brought out the aura and majesty she had when she was the princess. In some controversial places, she pointed out the possible conflicts in the future, and then asked them for a solution. The solution had to be what she said.

Zhe Ji was amazed, she turned around with a smile on her horse, and the people around her quickly followed her, and then she heard her talking to herself:

"Oh, I never thought that Lin Aoxue is actually a woman, heh, when will I find a chance to go to Ningguo to see it."

The sound of her words spread out in the wind and slowly disappeared.

After the contract was signed, the northern border and the grassland sent troops to build a small trading town in Shengshi. When the pass was covered by heavy snow, the soldiers and horses of both sides simply stayed in the small town. The grassland people are very curious about the silk and porcelain from Ningguo, and they also bring their furs to trade.

After coming and going, these two armies were the first to start the trial trade between the two countries.

By the second year when the ice melted and the snow melted, Shengshi had already been built, and there was an endless stream of businessmen. In the following two years, there was no war between the northern border and the grassland. With development, the northern border, as a bitterly cold place on the border, has unexpectedly become the most prosperous place in Ning Kingdom.

Three years passed quickly amidst the busy government affairs. Recently, Lin Aoxue often frowned and even didn't want to go to court.

Just after the New Year's Eve, Lin Aoxue woke up, and when her consciousness gradually returned, her face was wrinkled.Yesterday was the last rest day after the New Year's Eve, which meant that when I got up this morning, I would go to court.

The palace people were already waiting outside the imperial study room, just as Lin Aoxue woke up, the voices of the palace people came from outside:

"Your Majesty, it's time to change clothes."

Lin Aoxue was extremely helpless, but fortunately the capital city was not as cold as the northern region, so she stood up and quickly put on her underwear before allowing the palace servants to enter the palace.

The maids in the palace washed and tidied up Lin Aoxue as usual, and changed the court clothes. When Lin Aoxue finished tidying up and headed to Xuande Hall, all the ministers had already arrived.But the ministers in the hall obviously haven't recovered from their laziness during the rest period. Lin Aoxue yawned a few times herself, but when a minister named Wang Desheng stepped forward in the hall and spoke, she was shocked:

"Your Majesty, the New Year's Eve has passed. As for the matter that the ministers mentioned the day before yesterday to accept the imperial concubine for His Majesty, how is Your Majesty thinking?"

Lin Aoxue's sense of sleepiness immediately dissipated completely, and even felt a chill down her spine.

She is thirty-three, if she is called another emperor, there are at least seven or eight princes and daughters under her knees.

But Lin Aoxue's status is special. She used to disguise herself as a man to fight in the army, and she has nothing to do with men. But now that she is on the throne, the government of Ningguo is stable, the country is prosperous and the people are peaceful. There is no war or natural disaster. The country is thriving under Lin Aoxue's governance. The ministers inevitably began to think about the successor of their family and country.

Lin Aoxue is a woman, so of course she can only accept the emperor's husband. Since Lin Aoxue came to the throne, she has been in control. Many dignitaries in Beijing wanted to send their children to the palace. However, Lin Aoxue focused on government affairs.Although Lin Aoxue is talented and virtuous to rule the world, but she has no successor. When Lin Aoxue abdicates in the future, who should be in charge of the Ningguo world?

Therefore, recruiting the emperor's husband for Lin Aoxue, in the eyes of these ministers, on the one hand, it fulfilled their selfishness, on the other hand, it was also for the sake of the country and the community.

The ministers were so cautious that Lin Aoxue couldn't understand. Their old thoughts had not been completely let go. After Lin Aoxue accepted the emperor's husband, no matter whether the prince or the emperor's daughter came to the throne in the future, in a sense, it could be regarded as leaning towards the power of the court. On the side of the emperor's husband.

Although Lin Aoxue has blemishes on her face, as the king of a country, she has countless people who are plotting secretly. The scars on her face cannot be a reason to discourage those who put their interests first.

In the first two years, not many ministers brought up this matter. Maybe it was because the new dynasty of Ningguo was first established, and it still focused on pacifying the country. At the end of last year, Wang Desheng advised Lin Aoxue to accept the emperor's husband. At the beginning of the new year, he did not give up and brought up the matter again.

Wang Desheng is a fourth-rank civil servant. If Lin Aoxue remembers correctly, he has three sons in his family. The eldest son has grown up and is not yet married.

Lin Aoxue is one head and two big, and Wang Desheng's performance is too obvious.

She secretly thought about how to tactfully fool her, but at this moment, an urgent message came from outside the Xuande Hall:

"Southern Xinjiang Urgent Report!!"

Lin Aoxue is now extremely sensitive to the word Nanjiang. The messenger was kneeling outside the hall. Lin Aoxue waved her hand, ignored Wang Desheng, and shouted directly:

"Bring it in!"

Wang Desheng looked embarrassed, but now that the urgent report came from southern Xinjiang, the state affairs must be more important, so although he was not reconciled, he couldn't say anything, and reluctantly took two steps back to vacate the seat in the palace.

The messenger stepped forward quickly, and handed over the urgent report just received in his hands, and immediately a palace official took the urgent report from him, and presented it to Lin Aoxue's desk.

When Lin Aoxue heard that the urgent report came from southern Xinjiang, she had a vague premonition in her heart. After opening the document, she scanned the content of the urgent report at a glance, and her complexion changed drastically. Have a drink:

"No reason!"

All the ministers were shocked, and all the ministers in the hall fell to their knees and shouted:

"The body of the phoenix is ​​the most important thing, Your Majesty calm down!"

The veins on Lin Aoxue's forehead twitched rapidly, and there seemed to be flames burning in her eyes.

She snorted coldly, gritted her teeth and said:

"Southern Border is really rampant!"

Beichen Ling understood, immediately stepped forward two steps, bowed and asked:

"I don't know what happened in Nanjiang that made His Majesty so angry?"

Lin Aoxue handed the urgent report to Bei Chenling, and Bei Chenling's expression suddenly changed after seeing it, and then picked up a few important sentences and read out:

"Southern Xinjiang sent troops to Ningguo, and the army marched to [-] li outside the southern border of Ningguo, with the intention of attacking the city."

After saying that, she frowned and asked suspiciously:

"Nanjiang has never had any disputes with Ningguo. What is the reason for doing this?"

Lin Aoxue showed a sneer on his face:

"Nanjiang seems to be peaceful these years. In fact, they are secretly calculating. In the chaos at the beginning of the dynasty, the six princes of the former dynasty were killed by Nanjiang assassins. If it weren't for Doctor Yun's ancestors to have some connections with Nanjiang , I learned some techniques, and I might have been succeeded by that most sycophantic minister!"

She said this on her lips, but she was thinking secretly in her heart, it happened that the three-year period between her and Yunyan had arrived, and if the people in Southern Border were making noise at this time, could it be related to Yunyan?The monthly secret letter from southern Xinjiang should arrive today. If there is any change, it must be mentioned in the secret letter.

The author has something to say: strive to see Yunyan in today's update!
