Chapter 259

This early dynasty did not come to a conclusion. Although there were still ministers who proposed to fight back, because the prime minister was dragged down, they had no confidence in their advice. After being refuted by the national teacher for a few words, they were completely afraid to speak.

The prime minister is tough and has achievements. Maybe he will be released in a few days. But these young people are different. If they offend the national teacher and the emperor, they will be copied and beheaded.

After retiring, several ministers who were usually loyal to the prime minister walked together.

They dared not refute the emperor, but they were deeply helpless and angry after going down.

"Beiqing is really arrogant. They show that they bully me. There are no generals in the dynasty. The former four princes died in the war. Xiaobaoshan heard that they were also dead. The Qian Qi family went to the northwest again, so they provoked again and again."

"Can't I really pick out the talents who can send troops to fight with so many people? I don't think so. It's just that our new emperor has just ascended the throne. He doesn't want to cause war and is afraid that the country will be lost."

"I think the worst thing is the national teacher. There are no people in the eyes of the national teacher. He is greedy for pleasure. He just wants to have fun in his old age. He doesn't care if the frontier is not frontier."

"Shh, be careful. Walls have ears. You know what I know. Don't talk nonsense, lest we be punished."

"Alas!"

"..." several young ministers felt very helpless.

……

After going down the court, the emperor summoned the national teacher and asked him, "do you really think we shouldn't go to war with the Northern Qi?"

The national master waved his hand: "Your Majesty, think twice. The old minister thinks it's best not to go to war. There are two reasons. First, your majesty, you have just ascended the throne for more than a year, and your foundation is not stable enough. Especially some ministers who follow the prime minister, don't think I don't know. In fact, they are waiting to see your jokes. Even if you want to fight, you have to wait until you remove these rebellious ministers one by one and replace them with our people.

Second, I am an unscrupulous general. If your majesty really goes to war hastily with one breath, he will not only lose the war, but also cause losses to the national treasury. It is really the next policy. "

Li Chengkun thought for a long time.

Finally, he said to the national teacher, "in this case, please bother the national teacher to go to Beiqing and talk about peace with them. If they agree, they will seal a princess as Princess Ning'an and let her marry Beiqing with Heihe Zhuang as her dowry."

After hearing this, the national master was stunned for a moment: "Your Majesty, do you mean I'll go?"

"Yes, this plan was proposed by the national master. Of course, you go. Besides, don't go alone. I'm not at ease. You are in a high position and can also well represent great prayer. It's most appropriate for you to go."

The National Teacher's eyes are turning all the time, with all kinds of abacus in his heart.

"This matter concerns the country of our Dynasty. Don't the national teachers want to?" Li Chengkun asked again.

The national master immediately said, "of course, I'm willing, old minister... I don't dare to shirk."

"Then hurry and start."

"Yes, your majesty!"

……

The national teacher went out of the emperor's bedroom and angrily went to the back palace.

This time, he didn't even avoid suspicion. He directly wanted to find the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager was teasing her Persian cat. When she saw the national teacher hurried in, she hurriedly asked, "what's the matter? Who annoyed you? And why don't you tell me when you come?"

"Hum!" The national master sat down, picked up the cup on the table and drank the water.

It's too late for the Empress Dowager to stop. She just fed the cat that glass of water.

However, since the national master has drunk it, it's no use stopping him. Let him drink it. There's no poison anyway.

"Your Majesty actually let me go to Beiqing. I'm so angry, and there's no room for discussion!" The national teacher was indignant.

"Ah? You're old enough to be an envoy to Beiqing. Isn't that a tossing man?"

"I think the Emperor just wants to trouble me. No matter whether it is successful or not, I will carry the pot in the end. If it is not successful, I will become a criminal minister. All officials will say that your majesty is bewitched by national teachers. If it is successful, I will not benefit, because many people in the court oppose peace talks, and I carry the pot on both sides."

The Empress Dowager saw that the national teacher was so angry, so she had to carry him smoothly.

At the same time, I thought: the emperor is also very fine, but who doesn't carry this pot?

Around her is the Empress Dowager. Although she has been fooling around with national teachers, she must be on the side of the royal family in front of such things.

"Calm down, calm down. Maybe it was the emperor who asked you to go because he couldn't find the right person? Someone wanted to go anyway, didn't he? I heard that Beiqing's fur jacket is well done and can prevent cold in winter. If you go there, bring me one."

The national teacher asked the empress dowager, "aren't you afraid I can't come back? If I die on the way, maybe I can't talk to Beiqing and be killed?"

"How? Even if the two countries go to war, they don't cut off envoys. How can Beiqing cut off your head? You're worried. By the way, I learned a song and dance recently. Why don't I show you?"

The national master's face slowed down a little.

"Where did you learn singing and dancing?" He asked.

"Naturally, I learned it from some theatrical troupes."

The National Teacher touched the Empress Dowager and said, "how can you still learn these?"

"It's not to please you, otherwise who wants to learn these things."

"OK, then jump and show me..."

……

The national teacher went to Beiqing the next day.

However, the prime minister in prison has not been released. The prime minister's son is also an official. He has been in the palace for several times and has not had a chance to see the emperor.

In addition to the prime minister's son, several sons also admonished, hoping to release the prime minister. The prime minister is old and can't stand the moisture in the prison. Besides, he worked hard and made great achievements, and he shouldn't end up like this in his old age.

However, the emperor did not respond.

For a time, there were rumors in the capital that the emperor could not tolerate the Prime Minister for a long time. He wanted to get rid of it and then hurry up.

Half a month later, the national master came back from Beiqing and brought back "good news". Beiqing agreed to negotiate peace and marry the princess here.

Those who advocated war were discouraged all of a sudden. They just felt that the emperor was too weak and listened to the national teacher.

Of course, the most people scold the national teacher.

But the national teacher is not rare. When the task is successfully completed, he can go to the Empress Dowager again.

And now that the national teacher has successfully negotiated peace, he has the confidence again.

During that time, he constantly attacked and said bad things about the prime minister in the imperial court, about the current relationship between the two countries, how serious the current situation is, and how Beiqing would deal with them if there was a war. In short, a war would do all kinds of harm without any benefit.

……

This time, we need to choose a princess to go out and kiss.

Beiqing's combat capability has improved in recent years, and its troops and horses have become stronger and stronger. However, the conditions there are not as good as Daqi. Because it is Mobei and has been attacked by wind and sand for many years, no one wants to go.

Although Li Chengkun has few sons, he has several daughters.

Besides, you don't have to send your own. It's OK to choose a princess to marry.

The one chosen this time was the granddaughter of one of his uncle Huang, aged 16, named Li Xiaoyue, who was granted the title of Princess Ning'an from the princess.

Li Xiaoyue fainted as soon as she got the news.

Beiqing emperor is now more than 50, older than her grandfather. After she married, she had to serve an old man. In that case, she might as well die.

Li Xiaoyue cried every day and wanted to ask the emperor to take back his life, but no one cared about him, and her family couldn't keep her. Her parents washed their faces with tears every day, thinking that they would be raised in vain.

Li Xiaoyue was almost blind with tears.

In prison, the prime minister knew this and scolded in prison for several days and nights: "I'm a great country. I have to sacrifice a little girl and send the young girl with cardamom to be insulted. What's the truth, what's the world? What kind of thing can a foolish king do..."

These words spread to the court and to the emperor.

The national teacher advised again: "Your Majesty, the prime minister made rude remarks in prison and scolded you as a fool. This behavior should be punished by the nine families, the emperor."

The ministers immediately trembled with fear.

Someone came out to intercede for Chengxiang and said that he was just angry for a moment. That's why he offended.

The national master accused the man: "you speak for him, don't you think so?"

The minister dared not speak at once.

In the hall, Li Chengkun waved his big hand: "what the national teacher said is very true. Now he is sentenced to death for the former prime minister, kill the nine families, and make a decision!"

Officials: "

Li Xiaoyue got married crying. Her cry was so loud that the people along the way heard it. There was no way. The media delivery man had to give her a brightening dose of Mongolian medicine and let her eat and sleep well.

On the day of Li Xiaoyue's marriage, the prime minister's family will also be taken to the Meridian Gate to prepare for beheading.

The prime minister's name is Xun Jian'an. On the day their family was beheaded, many Jianghu xias rushed out from nowhere. These Jianghu xias came from all directions and fought with officers and soldiers. Finally, they rescued Xun Jian'an and his youngest grandson, little Xunzi.

The Jianghu Xia protected Xun Jian'an and fled the Imperial City in a hurry.

……

On the other side, Li Xiaoyue also left the city from the north gate.

Due to the dosage, Li Xiaoyue slept until dark.

When it was dark, she found that she was far away from the capital. She suddenly felt hopeless. When she arrived in Beiqing, she didn't know what kind of days to face.

It is said that emperor Beiqing was not only old, but also bloodthirsty. He was extremely cruel to women and liked to torture young women.

It is said that more than ten years ago, a princess married to Beiqing and died of illness within two months.

Will she feel better when she goes?

The more Li Xiaoyue thought about it, the more she felt wronged and hated it. She secretly swore in her heart that she must let Daqi pay the price and the emperor pay the price.

……

After another two days, I finally reached the Beiqing boundary.

That night, the matchmaker came and asked Li Xiaoyue to get off for dinner.

Li Xiaoyue was quiet in the past two days, but the matchmaker was very happy and said to the others: "women, it's the first time they make trouble. When she knows that her life is beyond her control, she will accept it. In fact, what's wrong with marrying Beiqing? At least it's also marrying the emperor. If she marries this dynasty, she can only marry some ministers, and her status is several steps worse."
