Shangguan Mo was followed by the Minister of the Xiliang Ministry of Officials and the general. Last night, when they were resting in the palace, they felt that this peace talk should pay less compensation first, and slowly increase the bargaining chip. However, the sixth prince, Shangguan Mo, disagreed. He said that since the compensation was made, Da Zhou had to see the sincerity of Xi Liang. If the compensation was gradually increased and the emperor of Da Zhou was annoyed, the peace talks might collapse.
This time they came to Dazhou mainly to seek peace, not to cause conflicts. Another more important thing they came to Dazhou was to ask Mrs. Zhou to heal the leg of the fifth emperor brother. The emperor of Dazhou is Zhou Guo If the madam's adopted son offends him, the peace talks will collapse, and even Brother Wu Huang's legs will not be ruled by law.
But even if Shangguan Mo said so, Shangshu and the general still disagreed, mainly because Xiliang was too poor, and their treasury would be even poorer if the million was taken out.
Shangguan Mo ignored him and directly talked about the one million compensation.
Xiao Wenyu looked at Shangguanmo who was at the bottom. The reason why he agreed to the peace between the two countries was to give Shangguanmo some face, otherwise it would not be so kind, and Shangguanmo would definitely take Xiliang.
Xiao Wenyu looked at Shangguanmo thoughtfully and said: "Originally, I didn't want to be so kind and give up, but seeing that the sixth prince is so forthright, I would lose my composure if I don't give in, so this time we will pay this compensation. peace between the two countries."
As soon as Xiao Wenyu finished speaking, the next courtier said: "Although the sixth prince apologized to His Majesty and compensated us, who knows if you will not keep your word? According to the old minister's opinion, our two countries will marry each other, and Xiliang will marry a princess. Come here, so that we can rest assured and believe that you are really asking for peace, unlike Beiqi's gang of dishonest villains who talked about peace before changing their minds."
After the first person finished speaking, the others all agreed. . .
"The ministers believe that the marriage between the two countries is the basis for peace talks."
"The ministers and others seconded the proposal."
Listening to the words of the courtiers in the first section, Xiao Wenyu's heart beat a little faster. He thought of Shangguan Yunyan, the Eighth Princess of Xiliang.
The lower chief Shangguan said silently: "Marriage does not necessarily allow me to marry the princess of Xiliang, but the princess of Dazhou can marry me to Xiliang. Rest assured, my Xiliang will definitely treat the princess of Dazhou well. Don't teach her to suffer any grievances."
After Shangguan Mo's words fell to the ground, there was a lot of discussion, everyone discussing whether this method is feasible.
However, Xiao Wenyu's heart fell to the ground with a thud, and his whole chest was lost. Then he thought about Shangguan Mo's words, and he decided one thing, Shangguan Yunyan had no intention of marrying him, if so, Xiliang The country will not refuse.
Xiao Wenyu couldn't tell what he was feeling, lost, cold, silent, didn't even want to say anything, just listened to the discussion of the next group, and he didn't say a word.
In the end, after much discussion and discussion, the result was to ask Mrs. Zhou Guo to heal the leg of the fifth prince of Xiliang, Shangguanrong, and choose a noble girl from Dazhou to marry the fifth prince of Xiliang, Shangguanrong, to ensure peace between the two countries.
After the court meeting ended, the Sixth Prince of Xiliang brought the Fifth Prince, Shangguan Rong, to the Xie Mansion to visit Mrs. Zhou Guo.
Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao had received a letter sent by Xiao Wenyu in advance, knowing that Shangguan Mo wanted to bring Shangguan Rong to Xie's mansion to see his legs.
Lu Jiao herself has no objection to the fifth prince Shangguanrong's leg, but Lu Jiao has not forgotten that if the fifth prince of Xiliang has good legs, he will be Shangguanmo's most powerful rival for the prince, Fang Zhaoyi, the fifth prince's mother and concubine. The power of the mother clan is still very good, without Shangguan He, he is the most competitive prince in Xiliang.
Now that his legs are disabled, he has no chance to compete for the crown prince, but once his legs are good, the fifth prince will strive for the crown prince.
Lu Jiao asked someone to call Shangguan Mo over to talk alone.
"Are you sure you want your mother to heal Shangguanrong's leg?"
As soon as she asked, Shangguanmo laughed, he knew what mother meant, wasn't he just afraid to heal Shangguanrong's leg and compete with him?
Shangguan looked at Lu Jiao with a silent smile, and said sincerely: "Mother, the reason why I asked you to heal Shangguanrong's leg is because of my intention. Think about it, mother, although I am the sixth prince of Xiliang, I have always In the decline, no one in the Xiliang court knows my ability. Even if the fifth prince is excluded, others have no way to choose me as the prince of Xiliang, but everyone doesn't take me seriously in their hearts, but with the fifth prince Shangguanrong In contrast, others will see my ability, Shangguanrong is my stepping stone, I will step on him to become the prince of Xiliang."
If he couldn't even deal with a small Shangguanrong, he would have been a power minister for ten years in vain, and he was still a prince.
Lu Jiao understood, and responded with a smile: "Okay, then according to what you see, I will perform this operation for him."
"Thank you ma'am."
The mother and son went out laughing all the way to see the fifth prince, Shangguan Rong.
"My wife generally doesn't perform surgery on others now, and the surgery is performed by Qi Yuyi in the palace."
Ruan Zhu on one side said quickly: "The Imperial Physician Qi in the palace is my wife's disciple. Our wife has not performed much surgery in the past two years, and it was all done by Imperial Physician Qi."
After Ruan Zhu finished speaking, Lu Jiao continued, "But the Sixth Prince has been asking me to perform the operation on you personally, so Madam Ben will perform the operation on you."
Lu Jiao said this to make the fifth prince grateful to the sixth prince.
Sure enough, as soon as she said it, the Fifth Prince was indescribably grateful to the Sixth Prince.
He stretched out his hand to hold the hand of the sixth prince Shangguan Mo, and said emotionally: "Sixth prince, don't worry, if the prince sits on the crown prince in the future, he will treat you like a younger brother."
Inside the house, not only Xie Yunjin, Lu Jiao and the others were speechless, but even the Xiliang envoys were speechless. Your leg is not healed yet, and you are thinking about becoming the crown prince, and you still say it in front of Da Zhou. Isn’t that stupid? what is it
Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao immediately felt relieved after hearing what the Fifth Prince of Xiliang had said. If Mo'er couldn't deal with such an idiot, he wouldn't be worthy of being a prince.
With a smile on her face, Lu Jiao stretched out her hand to check Shangguanrong's leg. After the examination, she was gentle: "The fifth prince will live in the palace first, and I am going to prepare. Later, I will go to the palace with Imperial Physician Qi to perform surgery on the fifth prince."
"Okay, thank you Mrs. Zhou Guo."
The envoys from Xiliang were also relieved. When they came earlier, they were afraid that Mrs. Zhou would not perform the surgery for the Fifth Prince.
It doesn't matter whether they do it or not, the key point is that if Mrs. Zhou Guo doesn't do it, she will not give Xiliang face.
Fortunately, no one disagrees now.
However, everyone subconsciously looked at the sixth prince, thinking that the sixth prince was very capable, so he rejected all the arguments and directly raised the compensation to one million taels of silver.
Didn't you hear what the Great Zhou Emperor said? If the sixth prince hadn't been forthright, he wouldn't be so kind at all. Looking at the fifth prince's legs now, it was the sixth prince who asked Mrs. Zhou Guo to take action, and she agreed.
The Sixth Prince's ability is very good. I heard that the reason why His Majesty was able to survive the disaster was because the Sixth Prince was worried that the Prince would kill His Majesty.
The envoys from Xiliang are more optimistic about the sixth prince's position. As for the fifth prince, they don't think he can be a prince, he is a fool, what to do.
