v2.Chapter 269

Three days later, there was a banquet in the palace for the envoys of Beili.

Ning Chengzhi asked Gu Shubai to go to the palace with Gu huaijiang, but Yufu didn't stop him.

The center of this Palace Banquet is on all the people in Gu Hou's house. Both sides know this. Before Yu Fu enters the palace, Mr. Ji and others ask people to send news secretly.

In the room, Yu Fu is dressed up by Lianzhu and others. She looks at many news and smiles.

Yao LAN is choosing jewelry for her. Seeing her smile, she immediately knows, "Miss, what's the matter?"

"Mr. Ji, they have convinced Ning Di that the palace banquet tonight will be much more relaxed. When tonight is over, you can leave tomorrow. "

"Really?"

Everyone was very happy. Lianzhu and Lianbi could not wait to go to Beili for a long time. They were relieved to know that the affairs of Chaozhong could be solved easily.

Yao LAN chooses from Yufu's jewelry box, with red gold on her head, nine Phoenix on her head, pearl on her temples, peony on her temples, and lotus on her forehead

At last, Yu Fu said, "go and take out the seven treasures that the former general sent me. I want to wear that one."

Yao Lan was stunned. "Miss, didn't Mr. Chen say that the clothes and jewelry of miss can't be used in the past, but Beili?"

Yu Fu said with a smile, "that pair of Qibao Yingluo is left by the deceased wife. It's a gift from the general. It's different from other jewelry. I was wearing this pair of Yingluo when I first entered the palace. Now it may be the last time I enter the Dongling palace. I want to wear it again. "

Yao LAN nodded, "OK, I'm going to find it."

The drum music is grand, the banquet in the palace has opened, and all the courtiers and Ning Chengzhi have arrived at the golden hall to officially receive Beili and his party as state guests.

Yufu walks in slowly from the outside of the hall. The Beili palace skirt with bright yellow pattern is wide sleeve and majestic, which makes people dare not look directly at it.

She was followed by Gu huaijiang and his son, Chen Jingxing and Ji Chengfa, as well as a group of envoys and attendants of Beili.

Ning Chengzhi's eyes fell on Yu Fu, and suddenly remembered what Yin Shuo had said to him half an hour before the banquet --

"Your Majesty, will your Majesty's banquet tonight allow Gu Hou and his son to leave Dongling?"

Ning Chengzhi is dressing up in the bedroom and preparing to attend the state banquet tonight. He doesn't want Yin Shuo to break into the bedroom and scare him.

He said hastily, "why did you come into the palace? It's the end of my duty to allow you to preside over the funeral ceremony of the old Prime Minister. How dare you come to the palace? "

Yin Shuo arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, I have to tell you a few words. If it's too late, it's too late!"

Ning Chengzhi knew that it was about the state banquet tonight, which was related to the safety of Dongling. He did not dare to drive Yin Shuo out at will. He hesitated for a long time and decided to listen to what Yin Shuo said.

Yan Shuo said: "Your Majesty can't let Gu Hou's family leave. They hold a grudge against your majesty, but the Beili people saved them. Your majesty, Princess Yufu is the crown prince of Beili. The father and son of marquis Gu treat her like a daughter. They will help Beili fight against Dongling in the future! "

Ning Chengzhi shook his head. "No, I have discussed this with Mr. Ji. Gu Hou is not such a person. Besides, Beili has never fought abroad for many years. Even if the Marquis Gu's family is loyal to Beili, they will not fight Dongling. I believe his loyalty to the former Emperor. "

A flash of cold light flashed in his eyes. "Your Majesty believes in Marquis Gu. Can you believe them? Gu Shubai came back from a narrow escape. Gu Hanmo's arm has been cut. I don't know if it can be saved. Won't they resent your majesty? There is also Princess Yufu. The princess always has a grudge against her Majesty's strong intention to marry her. When she comes back to Beili, won't she really fight Dongling? "

Ning Chengzhi frowned and said impatiently, "even if Yu Fu resents me, what can I do? She's the crown prince of beilitang. Can I hold on to her? "

"Your Majesty can't take Princess Yufu, but you can take hostages to threaten her. Your majesty thinks that as long as the Marquis Gu's family goes to Beili, the princess will have no scruples about Dongling and can use force at any time. If the Marquis Gu's family stayed in Dongling, the princess would have to consider the safety of the Marquis Gu's family if she wanted to use force against Dongling in the future. Isn't this more useful than the diplomatic relations that can be turned back at any time? "

Yin Shuo was sincere and Ning Chengzhi was deep in thought.

After a while, he said, "you're right. At the beginning, Xikun sent a princess to make up with her. Didn't she say that she would turn over? The best way to check and balance Beili is for the guhou family to stay in Dongling. "

……

"Your Majesty, your majesty?"

Ning Chengzhi woke up from his memory and saw the palace man beside him quietly remind him, "Your Majesty, please take the seats of the envoys of Beili!"

Ning Chengzhi said: "ah, yes, Princess Yufu, please take a seat. All the envoys please take a seat."

After Yu Fu took his seat, Ning Chengzhi was about to give orders for dance music performance. Yu Fu said with a smile to the leader, "it's not necessary to dance music. We've been waiting for emperor Ning to summon us in guhou's mansion these days, and we've seen Dongling's dance music all over the place. I think Mr. Chen doesn't want to see it anymore, does he? "

She looked at Chen Jingxing beside her, and Chen immediately agreed, "yes. I waited for Dongling to establish diplomatic relations, and her royal highness was a prince. Ningdi has made us wait for many days, so don't waste time now? "Ning Chengzhi forgot to eat and sleep, and discussed with the ministers of the central court over and over again how to negotiate with the envoys of Beili, but the envoys of Beili were watching a song and dance performance in guhou's house.

How to listen to this, how to make people angry, Ning Chengzhi spent a lot of effort to make his mouth not droop down, forced to smile, "since the princess and all the envoys have enough of Dongling's dance music, it's free."

Yu Fu said with a smile: "this is the truth. I came here with enough sincerity. There's no basis for your words. Please tell Mr. Chen and Emperor Ning to your ministers. "

Chen Jingxing immediately got up from his seat, and the golden hall was filled with awe. Everyone was staring at Chen Jingxing and waiting for his next words.

Chen Jingxing said in a loud voice: "Dongling is a water town in the south. It's hard to cultivate strong flattery without broad pasture and grassland. There are thousands of vast pastures in Beili, and the horses carefully cultivated can travel thousands of miles every day. Once the friendly exchanges between the two countries are established, Beili will send 100 horses to Dongling to help you improve the bloodline of your horses. "

As soon as he said this, the general in the seat was so excited that even Gu Shubai couldn't help looking at him.

It is a fact that the southern land is too small to cultivate excellent fighting horses. Gu huaijiang has also allocated a lot of funds in the army to let people carefully cultivate horse breeds, but it has had little effect over the years.

Once Chen Jingxing's words are realized, it means that Dongling's horses will soon surpass those in Xikun within a few years, and then they will have a great advantage over the cavalry in Xikun.

Although Ning Chengzhi didn't know military affairs, he also knew what a favorable condition it was to see the general's passion seething.

Chen Jingxing didn't seem to notice the minister's reaction. He continued: "Beili has excellent bird's nest, snow lotus and other precious medicinal materials, as well as artillery, crossbow and so on. It never trades with foreign countries. Once the two countries have established diplomatic relations, Beili is willing to open five trade ports to donglinghu City, and guarantees that Dongling's price will always be lower than that of Xikun in the trade of advanced weapons. "

There are already generals in the seat who can't help but stand up.

The price of weapons sold by Beili to Dongling is always lower than that of Xikun, so Dongling can purchase a large number of artillery to fight against the invasion of Xikun. Xikun people can't get such a low price even if they want to buy them, so they will be overwhelmed by Dongling in weapons.

The conditions put forward by the envoys of Beili were not only favorable, but also improved Dongling's military strength and combat power. Why?

Chen Jingxing continued: "there are ten thousand taels of gold, thousand pieces of silk and ten chariots of precious medicinal materials as gifts for Beili to establish diplomatic relations with Dongling. They will be sent to Dongling in half a month."

he said so much in one breath, and at last he slowed his breath. "This is the condition of the princess's Royal Highness. As long as emperor Ning agrees, everything will be dealt with immediately. Our only condition for Dongling is to let the Marquis Gu's family leave Dongling with us. "

Just now, the passionate courtiers calmed down and waited to see what kind of response Ning Chengzhi would make.

Ning Chengzhi hasn't said a word yet. Ji Xuanxian has helped elder Ji to stand up tremblingly. "Your Majesty, I think the conditions offered by Beili are very favorable. Your majesty can agree. Not only should we promise to let Marquis Gu's family leave, but also we should prepare corresponding gifts to give back to Beili. For example, if Beili wants to give us a lower price for weapons, we should also lower the price of porcelain and wooden ware in our trade. Reciprocity is the only way

Ning Chengzhi almost couldn't help staring at him.

Whether to let Yufu take Gu huaijiang or not, he is still hesitating. This Ji Daogong is very good, and he helps outsiders to let him paste things.

Chen Ge thought that Yu Fu's condition was to take Gu huaijiang's family away. At most, he promised not to use force against Dong Ling in the future. She didn't want to prepare so many favorable conditions.

He knew in his heart that Yufu's purpose was to reassure them, and indirectly assured them that he would not attack Dongling easily in the future.

He took Chen Chuxiu's hand and got up and said, "I'm seconded. Your majesty, Princess Yufu's offer shows sincerity. Once we have those excellent horses and advanced weapons, Dongling's military strength will go to a higher level. At that time, we won't have to worry about Xi Kun's invasion year after year. Your majesty, please agree

"I agree!"

"I also agree!"

All the ministers were attracted by Chen Jingxing's conditions. Ning Chengzhi naturally knew that the other party's conditions were excellent, and he only wanted to exchange the life of Gu Houfu's family, which was a business for him.

But he hesitated when he thought of Yin Shuo's words.

In the eyes of the people, Ning Chengzhi slowly said: "the conditions offered by Beili really show sincerity, but --"

Yufu's eyes swept up, and everyone's faces changed.

The Palace Banquet was discussed long ago. Why is Ning Chengzhi so good?

Mr. Ji frowned at him. Mr. Chen looked at him anxiously. Gu Shubai was also nervous.

Ning Chengzhi said: "but Marquis Gu is the general of Dongling. Now he is still charged with treason. I'm afraid it's not good to leave Dongling and go to Beili

"No, it's not your Majesty's voice."

Yu Fu suddenly heard Gu Shubai's voice behind her. She turned her head and said, "this must have been said by Yin Shuo and his majesty."Yan Yan has just passed away, and his body is not cold. Yan Shuo himself is still in the process of suspension examination. Does he still have the mind to deal with the family of marquis Gu?

Yu Fu's eyes were gradually frozen and cold suddenly appeared.

Gu Shubai said: "as a courtier of Dongling, your majesty may not allow my father and son to leave Dongling, but we guhou house will never accept any unnecessary crime. No one in the guhou's family, including the gujia army, collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country. The truth can not be confused. Your majesty has ordered people to check for so long. Have you found any evidence? My lord Gu's family is loyal to your majesty, but your majesty wants to kill all the family of my lord Gu's family because of some fabricated evidence. Do you want to impose charges on us now? "

Ning Chengzhi's words stopped for a moment. In fact, he didn't really want to kill the whole house of marquis Gu. It was Yin Shuo who gave him the idea to force Yu Fu to come back -

Yu Fu really came back, but it was not the princess of Zhenjiang, but the prince of Beili when he came back.

Yu stood up and looked at him. "Even if Marquis Gu is a courtier of Dongling, now I'm offering such generous terms from Beili. I just want to ask emperor Ning for a few people, but emperor Ning won't give them?"

Pei Zheng quickly got up and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you ask the meaning of marquis Gu. Marquis Gu is an old minister who has been loyal to Dongling for decades. If he is tired of fighting in the court and wants to return home in advance, will his majesty force him to stay? "

He cleverly described Gu huaijiang's departure from Dongling to Beili as an early return home, which made Ning Chengzhi speechless.

People's eyes suddenly fell on Gu huaijiang. Gu huaijiang slowly got up from his seat and bowed his hands to the top, "I have been fighting for the former Emperor and his majesty for decades. I ask myself that I am worthy of all the people and the monarch. I'm not young either. I'm getting old and ill. Although I have several sons under my knees, I can't be used by your majesty. Please let my father and son leave Dongling for the sake of my pommel horse

Gu huaijiang himself said so. What's the meaning of forcing people to stay?

The courtiers whispered that instead of leaving a great general who had already given up his heart to the court, he should be let go in exchange for making friends with Beili and getting Beili's good horses and weapons.

"Your Majesty, please allow your majesty to attend to the Marquis!"

Most of the courtiers spoke out and persuaded Ning Chengzhi to agree to Beili's terms. Ning Chengzhi, however, bit his teeth and refused to let go.

Yu Fu looked at him coldly. For a long time, he said, "Gu Hou is not only Gu Hou, but also the commander of Gu's army. I don't need to say how loyal Gu's army is to the general. You should know. Have you ever thought that once Marquis Gu leaves Dongling, will the morale of Gu's army also leave Dongling? "

Gu's army is the mainstay of Dongling's army and an indispensable lifeline. Once Gu huaijiang leaves, it's really hard to predict what will happen to Gu's army.

Yu Fu said in his heart: This is still not Ning Chengzhi's words, but Yin Shuo's words.

Yan shuoren was in the prime minister's residence, but his will was passed on to the golden palace and controlled Ning Chengzhi through many courtyard walls and Daodao palace city.

The man in front of him was not Ning Chengzhi, but a puppet controlled by Yin Shuo.

Yu Fu suddenly lost the patience to negotiate with him again, and said: "is it too late for emperor Ning to worry about Gu's army's separation? When you wanted to cut off all the doors of marquis Gu's house, did you ever think that Gu's army would separate from the court hall? "

Yu Fu's words made the hall silent again, and Ning Chengzhi's face turned red with shame. "At that time, I was not thinking about it, but now it's different. I have cancelled the intention of cutting off the whole house of marquis Gu. I promise I won't kill Marquis Gu and others any more, as long as they don't leave Dongling. "

Yu Fu sneered, "the meaning of emperor Ning is that he doesn't agree to the conditions of Beili and doesn't want to make friends with Beili, does he?"

"No, naturally, I'm willing to make friends with Beili and exchange them on the same terms. But the guhou family... "

Ning Chengzhi gritted his teeth, "they can't leave with you. I will not refuse anything but this offer. "

Yu Fu did not give up. "In addition to this condition, I don't want anything else in my palace."

The two sides fell into an unexpected impasse, and no one would give in. Their eyes met, as if there were sparks exploding in midair.

Just when Ning Chengzhi could hardly resist it, Yu Fu suddenly laughed.

"Well, since Ningdi refused to give in, there was nothing to talk about. This palace will leave Dongling and move southward. When the army of Beili takes up half of Dongling, I'll ask emperor Ning to replace it with all the people in guhou's house! "

Ning Chengzhi suddenly changed his face, and all the ministers were equally frightened.

"Never, Princess
