Yan Tianji had a bad feeling in his heart. Emperor Yan was always suspicious. Yun'anzhi was also a wall grass on both sides. No one could catch up with him. He had always been good at observing words and colors. Today, the wind direction suddenly changed. Did he hear something?
Now he suddenly agrees with his own ideas. With the temperament of Emperor Yan, he will doubt whether they collude secretly.
Without waiting for yun'an's explanation, I really listened to Emperor Yan's words. Tiger eyes looked at Yan Tianji with dignity, "Duke Cheng, tell me your opinion."
Yan Tianji jumped in his heart but didn't move his face. After kneeling down and saluting, he replied in a dignified manner, "tell your majesty, my minister's opinion is still the same as before. The two countries have been fighting on the border for many years, and the people have been starved everywhere. If you can return the proton to one side in exchange for peace, it will be a credit for thousands of years."
Although the northern kingdom is a subsidiary of the state of Yan, in recent years, the emperor of the Northern Kingdom has been seriously ill, and the Regent Hao Lianchen has begun to be militaristic again. The Northern Kingdom has long been unwilling to yield to others and wants to start a war.
He neither said he agreed with Yun Anzhi's opinion nor attached to it, but insisted on his own point of view.
Yan Di's face suddenly looked much better. "Aiqing, get back on your feet. Since they all advocate 'Peace', let's talk about how to make peace today."
"Your Majesty, I think that since it is reconciliation, the two countries should show sincerity. I heard that the envoys of the northern kingdom came and brought the land seals of the sixteen border states. Then we can't be too stingy in return."
It's yun'an again!
Yan Tianji thought he said a lot today.
"The sixteen border states are relatively fertile land in the north. I'm also satisfied with this great gift. Let's talk about how the state of Dayan should return the gift?"
Emperor Yan is also very patient today and has been encouraging the ministers to speak.
One of yun'an hurried forward, "Your Majesty, I think it's better to choose a high, young and beautiful princess and marry the North proton to express our sincerity. In this way, first, the northern kingdom will not feel that we have neglected the prince of the northern kingdom. Second, with the relationship of in laws, the northern kingdom will no longer have indiscriminate thoughts in a short time. "
As soon as his voice fell, Emperor Yan said, "this is a good way." Then his eyes turned to Yan Tianji, "what does Cheng Guogong think?"
Yan Tianji didn't think deeply at that time and pondered for a while, "since your majesty thinks it is feasible, I have no objection."
Yan Di took a deep look at him and then looked away.
"Just now I thought about it. It's OK to say that I respect my identity. I'll just give it to you. But there is no princess in the palace who meets the age requirements. If Qing'er marries later, maybe he can solve my urgent need..."
!!!
Until now, Yan Tianji didn't understand why his eyelids had been jumping wildly!
It turned out that he was digging a pit here waiting for him!
As long as he is not a fool, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty can hear the meaning of Emperor Yan's words. What is "not old enough to meet the requirements"? What is "Qing'er is suitable if she doesn't get married"? Every word and sentence was directed at his Chengguo mansion. Only princess Yan Qiqi of Chengguo was respected and suitable in age!
The reason why the Emperor didn't say it clearly was that he had foresight and asked him for an edict. Otherwise, the emperor must have given it directly to the north without saying a word!
Since ancient times, few people have come to a good end if they marry and marry far away. The protons of the Northern Kingdom have been under the yoke of Dayan state for so many years. Now when they go back, they are afraid that they will release the tiger and return to the mountain. How good can they expect him to reward a woman who is actually monitoring the transaction in the name of marriage?
This is not the case, so the sheep enter the tiger's mouth!
Yan Tianji was so angry that he was shaking.
However, at this time, yun'an Zhi did not stop, echoing Emperor Yan, "Your Majesty, the princess of Chengguo government is about the same age as the eldest princess, and it is also the year of hairpin. This is a great thing to honor the whole family!"
"Your Majesty, Qiqi is still young and not sensible. I'm afraid she doesn't understand the rules..."
Before Yan Tianji finished his words, Yun Anzhi interrupted him again.
"Duke Cheng is worried about it. The rules are simple. He can teach it as soon as he teaches. Besides, the princess Huizhi Lanxin will certainly win the favor of the crown prince of the north."
Yan Tianji endured again and again, and finally couldn't help it.
His voice rose abruptly, interrupting yun'anzhi's long speech. "As far as I know, you have seven daughters. In addition to three married, there are four waiting for words in the boudoir, and they are the same age. They also contribute to the imperial court. How about letting your daughter go?"
Yun'an's joy begets sorrow. Over the years, he and Yan Tianji have looked at each other in the court. As long as they catch the opportunity, they can't help stepping on each other's feet. He just wanted to embarrass Yan Tianji. Unexpectedly, Yan Tianji gave him this reason instead.
In addition, Emperor Yan seems to be seriously thinking after listening, and yun'anzhi is even more flustered. "Your Majesty, the old minister has reached the age of knowing his destiny. Unfortunately, there is only one sick child around him. Maybe he will go ahead of the Minister one day. As the saying goes, if the married daughter spills water, if he sends the minister's daughter to a marriage, he will not even have a person to support his old age and die..."
He looked miserable. Emperor Yan was upset. Today, he just came to test Yan Tianji's attitude. He didn't want to settle the matter. Emperor Yan also said, "OK, don't be like a great enemy one by one. I just mentioned it casually. The envoys of the Northern Kingdom haven't come yet. Let's let go of other things for the time being."
After returning to the mansion, Yan Tianji thought more and more wrong and ordered the servant girl, "go and call the princess."
Yan Qiqi came quickly. She was always good at observing words and expressions. She soon found something wrong. "Father, who made you angry?"
Yan Tianji has always been a person who is neither happy nor angry. Unless he is annoyed, it is difficult to find that he is in a wrong mood.
Yan Tianji looked up at his daughter standing in front of him and looked at her face more and more similar to her dead wife. The bottom of her heart was as painful as a needle.
He sighed a long sigh, "77, what did your majesty say to you when you entered the palace the day before yesterday?"
Yan Qiqi shook his head and answered honestly, "no, why did my father suddenly ask?"
