Carefree Scholar Chapter 890: Proposal for peace and marriage

Jingguo’s early days have now been reduced to a form. To maintain the operation of the imperial court, there are three provinces and six ministries. In fact, there is no need for the emperor. Some important decisions cannot be made by the people below. There is also the review of the eldest princess.

On the first day of each month, the ceremonial early dynasty, if there is nothing very important, the old emperor will only show up briefly.

Her Royal Highness the princess sits on the lower left side of the old emperor to distinguish status, and Li Yi now stands in the courtroom and can no longer lean on the pillar.

His position, only after the two prime ministers, is tied with the six Shangshu.

I was a little sleepy listening to the officials in the DPRK and the central government. Suddenly the eunuch's sharp and thin voice came in my ears.

"Xuan Qi State envoys will see you!"

The envoys of the Qi State are very honest in Kyoto these days. They are not honest like the envoys of the State of Qi. However, according to the wind they revealed, this time they came to seek peace. They acted honestly and very well. normal.

Five envoys of Qi State entered the hall, and after standing still, they bowed and said loudly: "See Your Majesty!"

The attitude of the envoy of Qi State was correct and his expression was courteous, and the courtier of Jing State was refreshed.

Because of the great power of Qi, in previous years, even if he sent envoys, his attitude was extremely arrogant in front of the king and ministers of the State of Jing. He looked defiant, and was completely different from the current attitude.

The reasons for all these changes are very clear to them.

Qi State, Zhao State repeatedly offended sides, and was beaten back by the soldiers in front of Jing Guo every time. After losing a few cities, Zhao State finally calmed down, retired silently, and sent him to discuss redemption. The envoys of several cities are still hanging in the Hongyou Temple.

These envoys of Qi state were straightforward to speak, and after a few very ritualistic words, they went straight to the topic.

The general idea is that Jingguo and Qi are neighbors. They fight and fight all day long. How many people will die, how much money will be wasted, and the people who are suffering are all the people. It shouldn’t be the case. Shake hands and make peace, mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, mutual non-aggression, non-interference in each other’s internal affairs, equality and mutual benefit, peaceful coexistence...

As soon as this remark came out, not only Jingdi stood up from the dragon chair, but also in the hall, there was an uproar.

The biggest foreign trouble for Jingguo is Qi. The two countries have fought for decades. Jinggu has been weak. Over the past few decades, the price paid for this is not small. This time, it is Qi's turn. Take the initiative to seek peace?

This is really an unprecedented first time. As Jing Guo's ministers, their hearts are full of a sense of belonging and pride. Has Jing Guo grown up to a point where even Qi Guo would not dare to underestimate it?

Before the king and ministers of Jing Kingdom could say anything, the leading envoy bowed and said loudly: "In order to show my sincerity, I will wait on behalf of my Prince Qi, and ask your majesty to marry the first princess of your country. , And hereby promise that after the crown prince ascends the throne, the princess will be immediately canonized as a noble concubine..."

As soon as this statement was made, the courtroom, which was still slightly noisy, immediately became quiet.

When someone was startled, his brows frowned.

Someone froze for a moment, then ecstasy appeared on their faces.

Li Yi looked at the envoy who was holding the book of the Kingdom of Qi, and then looked up at the top, the old emperor frowned, the princess hall was expressionless, and he retracted his gaze, his complexion did not change much.

At the moment, one person stood up and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, it's okay to discuss peace. Prince Qi wants to marry the eldest princess, but he must never!"

"The minister agrees!"

"The minister agrees!"

……

As soon as Qin Xiang said this, many people in the court came forward.

Qi Guo took the initiative to negotiate a peace. This is naturally a very long-faced thing. It can be spread out to raise the country's prestige, but the Prince Qi wants to marry the eldest princess, but it is idiotic.

The importance of the princess to Jing Guo is self-evident. It can even be said that although she is a princess, she plays the role of a king, and she is also a Mingjun who has not met in decades.

Not to mention what Jing Guo’s court would be like without His Royal Highness Princess, giving this Mingjun to Qi for free, normal people can’t do such a thing.

As for the negotiation of peace, Qi Guoai does not agree, anyway, they can't beat the soldiers of Jingguo who have a natural punishment. In a word, it is not necessary to negotiate, marry a princess, it is impossible!

Cui Qingming looked at the old man who stood up, his expression calm, his fists in his sleeves were clenched tightly.

He turned his head to look, and an official stood up and said: "Your Majesty, how many souls will be burned when the two countries fight, and how many heroic soldiers of our Jingguo will be sacrificed. Now Qi Guo has proposed a peace. It is a blessing to all people. I hope your Majesty will think twice!"

After the official spoke, many people came forward to agree, and the two sides held their own opinions and argued endlessly.

Jingdi put down the letter of the country, stretched out his hand and pressed it down, and Chaotang immediately returned to silence.

"You can talk about peace, so please don't mention it again." He said lightly, giving the most obvious attitude.

The envoy of Qi State raised his head and said: "It is beneficial to both countries to negotiate peace. I, Qi, has given enough sincerity. Should your country show some sincerity?"

As soon as this statement came out, the courtiers all over the hall looked at the gazes of the envoys of Qi State, and they began to become uncomfortable.

The implication of the envoy of Qi State is that if Jing Guo does not marry the eldest princess, and does not show enough sincerity, then there is no need to discuss the matter of peace...

"Your Majesty, this matter is beneficial to all people, please think twice!"

"Your Majesty, don't let the living beings be burned again!"

"Your Majesty, please also consider the people of Jingguo and the soldiers in front of you!"

……

When a few more people stood up, Jingdi frowned and looked down somewhere.

Li Yi stood up at the right time, looked at the few people, and asked: "Accepting Qi State's negotiation and marrying the eldest princess will save thousands of people and save lives from being burnt?" /

The leader snorted coldly and said: "If the war between the two countries can be avoided, why not?"

"So, is it exempted?" Li Yi looked at him, then looked at the people beside him, and asked again: "Jing Guo and Qi Guo have negotiated so many times, they really did it. Like what this adult said?"

"This..."

The official was speechless. If the peace talks are really useful, then one peace talk is enough, and the envoys of Qi will not appear in the hall now.

Li Yi looked at the courtiers in the hall, and said: "The heart of the tiger and wolf of Qi is known to all. He has done more than once to abandon the covenant. What credibility is there? What's more, your Majesty Dragon has Chao, the eldest princess serves as the country’s governor. It’s a critical moment. How can you marry Qi country far away and take a step back to say that the prince of Qi country has lost the hearts of the people in the country, and even the throne may not even sit on the throne. Promise!"

"Haha, yes, yes!" Old General Xue came out with a big smile and said: "Sincere, what kind of sincerity do you want, do you want God's punishment?"

Another veteran walked out~IndoMTL.com~ laughed and said: "The invader is your Qi country, so how can you talk about peace? ?"

Shen Xiang stood up, nodded and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Doctor Li is right."

Shangshu Yan Bing of the Ministry of War stepped forward and said: "The minister seconded."

Hube Shangshu Qin Huan stood beside him: "The minister seconded..."

Shang Shu Zuo Cheng, Dong Wenyun...

At this moment, those who are standing in front are all important ministers in the central government. The two prime ministers have the same opinions. The Wangs of the Shen family are also standing behind Doctor Jin Zi Guanglu. The opinions of others are actually insignificant.

Cui Qingming looked at the row of figures standing in front of him, his fists clenched, his nails sinking deeply into the flesh, and quickly and weakly loosened.

As for the envoys of the Qi state, the opinions of the big brothers in the DPRK are very unified. They can be discussed. It is impossible to marry a princess. If you do, you can negotiate or get out. Qi is still the Qi country of the year, but Jing has already Not the weak Jingguo back then.

……

Li Yi took a bite of fried rice with eggs, looked at the princess, and said, "You are right, the envoys of Qi State have negotiated the peace. He wants to get Jing Guo's help and help the prince ascend to God. Bit is true."

Li Mingzhu held the wine glass, but didn't eat. He didn't seem to have a high mood. He looked at him and asked: "What do you think about the marriage?"

Li Yi thought for a while, and said, "Keeping together...disharmony is a means of integrity, and peace is also a diplomatic method. As for how you look at it, you cannot generalize."

"This is what you usually use to prevaricate your father." Li Mingzhu shook the glass and said, "I want to listen to your heart."

"What's in my heart..." Li Yi picked up the wine glass and touched her, and said without hesitation: "Whether he is Qi Guo or Zhao Guo, of course I won't let you marry..."
