Chapter 253 The emperor’s mind, checks and balances!
When Zhou Yunyue was taken down, she cried heartbreakingly.
No one sympathized with her, they just felt that she had brought it upon herself.
Even with the antidote prepared by Bansicao, Princess Kangzhu of Wala has not improved. It is said that it will take at least a year and a half to completely eliminate the remaining poison.
After receiving the secret report, Emperor Renxiao was very angry.
"Zhou Yunyue is so brave, he dares to ruin the marriage!"
Wang Bao: "Your Majesty, please calm down, there may be something inside!"
Emperor Renxiao's eyes were cold, and he was full of the imperial family. Ruthless, he thought over and over again and said: "From now on, there will be no Zhou Yunyue in the Great Zhou Dynasty, only the Zhou family. I care about the last bit of blood and family ties, so let her enter Shen Yuanjing's room!"
Wang Bao: "Old slave, this is Just let someone go and deliver the order!"
Emperor Renxiao frowned and stopped the person.
"Wait a minute, the Zhou Dynasty was sorry for the Wei family's army, and made Wei Dongzhu the general of Polu, and cooperated with Lan Xi to manage the Zhenbei army!"
"Yes!"
The content of the imperial edict is very fast. In the hands of Shen Lanxi.
Wei Dongzhu immediately expressed his loyalty: "My subordinates will always be loyal to the general, and only the general will follow his lead!"
They are all people who wield power. Who doesn't know that Emperor Renxiao seems to be encouraging, but in fact he is intentional? Let Wei Dong divide Shen Lanxi's power one by one.
The emperor's mind is still thinking of checks and balances even when the great Zhou is about to fall apart.
Shen Lanxi smiled and said: "I understand, and all the soldiers also understand that we can get to where we are today by uniting as one. As long as someone turns their elbows outward and has different intentions, we will not be able to get out of Dongchuan. ! ”
This means to beat, but also to remind.
Che Mingyuan continued to report on the progress of the peace talks.
"The general expected it to be true. The three Turkic tribes really fell out over a city!"
Shen Lanxi nodded with satisfaction: "That's it, keep talking!"
"Yes!"
After that, Shen Lanxi left Shen Yuanjing alone.
"Yuanjing, how do you plan to arrange the Zhou family?"
Shen Yuanjing said angrily: "Sister, what do you mean by your majesty? Is it just because Zhou Yunyue is his daughter and of royal blood? Shouldn’t you be punished for making such a big mistake?”
Shen Lanxi warned lightly: "This is your Majesty's intention. Your Majesty only allowed Mr. Zhou to enter your room, and did not say in what capacity. Think about it yourself!"
Shen Yuanjing slowly calmed down.
"Since His Majesty no longer recognizes her royal status, then I will ask her to move out of Shen Mansion and find another place to live outside!"
Shen Lanxi nodded and handed him the imperial edict.
“Let’s make arrangements!”
...
Afterwards, Wei Dongzhu approached Shen Lanxi.
"I will never be incited by others to be your enemy!" He said every word as seriously as if he had made a vow.
Shen Lanxi looked at the white jade mille-feuille cake on the table, gently raised her fingers, and pushed it in the direction of Wei Dongzhu.
“The north wind is cold, let’s eat some pastries and drink some hot tea!”
A smile slowly appeared in Wei Dongzhu's eyes. He sat down solemnly and clenched his palms hard before reaching for the cakes on the plate.
“It’s delicious!”
Shen Lanxi also picked up a piece, took one bite, and immediately took two sips of hot tea.
I don’t know who made this sweet and greasy texture!
The northwest wind blew loudly, blowing open the gaps in the windows that were open for ventilation. The wind like a knife swept away all the heat in the room with just a few breaths.
Wei Dongzhu stood up and closed the door. The snowflakes caught in the wind hit his hands. When he looked out the window, the ground was already a layer of silver. "It's snowing again!"
Shen Lanxi: "I didn't expect it to be so cold in the northwest!" Although the previous snow was not as thick as Dongchuan, the ground was also frozen. It is very strong, and Qinglong Lake has been frozen due to the severe cold for days.
Wei Dongzhu: "The four seasons in the northwest are distinct. It will be better when spring begins."
Shen Lanxi ate up all the cakes in his hand, and Wei Dongzhu was also ready to leave.
"It's late at night, go to bed early!" Wei Dongzhu said softly.
Shen Lanxi nodded: "You too!"
When Shen Yuanhao went to watch the night, he happened to see Wei Dongzhu coming out of the eldest sister's yard.
It's so late, haven't they finished talking about business yet?
Before the beginning of spring, the three Turkic tribes negotiated a marriage between the Turks and the Zhou Dynasty.
This time, Abe Hiroshi came alone to talk to Che Mingyuan.
“We, the Sixth Prince of the Great Turks, are born with bravery and extraordinary intelligence, and we just happen to marry your Princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty!”
Che Mingyuan smiled lightly and said: “I wonder if the Sixth Prince of the Great Turks can come here. "Would you like to meet me in advance?" That useless and useless sixth prince?
“The Sixth Prince is busy with official matters and will not find time until the wedding day!”
Che Mingyuan: "I, Dazhou, are willing to use the Loess City as a dowry. I wonder if the Turks can prepare the betrothal gift?"
Abe Kuan's heart rose with anger, and he said with a flash of eyes: "Of course, the betrothal gift is two thousand tons of grain. , This is what I negotiated with your previous peace minister."
Che Mingyuan kept a faint smile on his face and nodded slowly.
“Since we have already discussed it, let’s do this!”
Hearing Che Mingyuan’s concession, Abe Hiroshi’s anger immediately disappeared. He despised Che Mingyuan and Da Zhou even more.
"You guys should free up Loess City as soon as possible!"
Che Mingyuan: "Give us two months!"
So long?
Abe Hiroshi said with a dark face: "I'll give you a month at most."
Che Mingyuan bargained: "Loess City is full of old people and children, so it will take at least fifty days. time.”
Abe Hiran: "Forty days, forty days at most."
Che Mingyuan hesitated and said: "General, that is a city. You Turks can take our city without spending a single soldier." Zhou territory and cities, I still need to convince As you know, the generals in the army and the people in the city, not everyone of them is a peacemaker like me, and they are not as flexible as me in dealing with things."
Hiroshi Abe was defeated by Che Mingyuan without any effort! Yizu's words moved him.
“Fifty days, at most fifty days, one more day, don’t blame me for the Turkic troops coming to the city!”
Che Mingyuan: “Of course, after all, we are marrying His Majesty’s favorite daughter , the princess’s dowry alone will take some time to prepare!”
Abe Hiroshi was completely happy when he heard this. It is best to bring more good things to their great Turks!
......
"General, do we really want to give up Loess City?" Xiao Fang couldn't understand.
Shen Lanxi glanced at him: "There are only a few people in the city, what's there to defend?"
Xiao Fang raised his voice: "That's my territory of Great Zhou!"
Qian Feng: "I have more territory in the Great Zhou Dynasty!" In fact, he also disapproved of it in his heart.
If they gave in, wouldn’t it make the Turks think that they were afraid?
What will their soldiers think? What would the people in the northwest think?
Wei Dongzhu also disagreed. His teaching since childhood was similar to what Qian Feng said.
I would rather die in battle in front of the city gate than let foreigners step into the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Cheng Zheng wrote: "Listen to the general!" The general has not missed his decision until now, there must be profound meaning!
Wei Dongzhu was upset that he had questioned her decision just now. He should have believed her.
"Does the general have a plan?"
