Liu yuanzhan is worried. Although there seems to be no threat in the western regions, the western region Lord is not a good liar. I'm afraid he won't easily make concessions in such things.
The chaos of Qin, Kang and an in the imperial court has just been settled. Now the internal worries have not been solved, so we can't introduce foreign aggression.
But Qin Jiayan didn't agree with this. Instead, he pointed to a small piece of collar and said, "although this place is not rich, it is better in its geographical location. If we can take this territory, we can hold this critical pass, which is of great benefit to our Dynasty."
After all, as a leading general, he will still have more military considerations.
These words also made Liu yuanzhan fall into meditation. Lian Chengming bowed his head and held his hands on the table. Looking at a small piece of territory on the table, he asked, "what does the western region Lord mean?"
"The Lord means that the territory can be handed over to us, but he wants to exchange it to reduce the annual tribute of the western regions." Qin Jiayan looked a little dignified, holding his chin in his hand.
This exchange cost a lot. A large part of the income of the Central Plains comes from tributaries in various fields. Although the western regions are remote, they are also rich, and there are not a few tributaries every year.
If you want to exchange this territory, I'm afraid the western region Lord will have a big mouth.
Liu yuanzhan ordered the territory, shook his head and said, "I don't think it's right. Although the territory has a good geographical location, we may not be able to use it. It's too bad to exchange the tax of the western regions."
However, Qin Jiayan disagreed with this remark and said, "it's not good. The state treasury in my dynasty is empty now. Even if it is allowed to pay tribute to the western regions, how can it be? There are few territories with such an excellent location. I think it's worth the exchange."
"The little prince can't always think about war. It's the most important thing to make the country rich and the people strong!"
They quarreled endlessly and insisted on their own opinions. The quarrel made Chengming have a headache, so they had to raise their hands and interrupt: "just come here first today. Go back and have a rest first. It's not urgent for the time being. It's getting late. We'll discuss it tomorrow."
"Yes." several people looked at each other and immediately left.
When he got out of the tent, Liu yuanzhan patted Qin Jiayan on the shoulder and said with a smile, "young man, I have the style of my year!"
Qin Jiayan, rather embarrassed, raised his hand and grabbed his hair. He hugged Liu yuanzhan and said, "Xiao Wang is offended today."
"If you don't know where you are, everyone doesn't have the same opinion in politics. We express our own opinions and have their own views. It's also a good thing for Yu Bi to come down and say that he can better see the pros and cons." Liu yuanzhan laughed happily and patted Qin Jiayan on the shoulder. "Let's go and have a rest."
When Lian Chengming returned to the inner room, he found that Liu Ruyan had fallen asleep on the table, with a snot bubble hanging on his nose and several pieces of paper under his hands. It seemed that he was practicing calligraphy.
After taking a look, Lian Chengming picked up the note pressed under Liu Ruyan's hand and looked at it, then hissed.
Many personal names are written on the paper, including Chengming, 15th and Xima. Just looking at the handwriting, it is really different from the beautiful font before Liu Ruyan. It seems that Liu Ruyan's memory loss is really comprehensive, and he has forgotten how to write.
He raised his hand and picked up Liu Ruyan. Liu Ruyan opened his eyes slightly. He was a little confused. He blinked. Seeing that it was lianchengming, he went to sleep safely and rubbed in lianchengming's arms. It was very clever.
Lian Chengming smiled, kissed Liu Ruyan on the cheek, and lay down with Yi beside Liu Ruyan. It was a good dream all night.
The next day, Lian Chengming is still investigating about the territory. The newly discovered territory is not far away. Lian Chengming plans to take Qin Jiayan and others to have a look first.
Liu Ruyan was a little tired these days, so he didn't go with him. He rode the little red horse sent by the western region Lord to the horse farm to practice his riding skills.
The little red horse is very clever under Liu Ruyan's training recently. He snorts and strolls leisurely on the racecourse. When people around saw Liu Ruyan, they all saluted and greeted him, quite enthusiastic.
In a good mood, Liu Ruyan rode a little red horse for a few laps. Not far away, he met Beihe who also came to the racecourse. But Liu Ruyan was not familiar with the North crane. He tightened the reins and asked the little red horse to stop. Looking at the North crane, he said, "you are the son-in-law chosen by Princess Xima?"
Beihe rode his horse to stop beside Liu Ruyan, saluted Liu Ruyan with a fist and said, "it's just me. Princess Hui is so interested. It's better to be together."
"Good!" seeing the sunshine of the North crane, Liu Ruyan immediately put down his guard, pulled the reins and asked the little red horse to turn around. He walked with the North crane with a happy smile on his face.
However, Beihe on the other side looked worried. They exchanged greetings for a long time. Beihe finally got to the point and said, "can I dare ask Princess Hui to help me with the next thing?"
"Hey?" Liu Ruyan was stunned. He looked at the North crane in the twinkling of an eye and said with doubts on his face: "me? What can I do for you? It's good if I don't help!"
Liu Ruyan was very self-conscious. She smiled softly. She knew the hypocritical faces of those western people around her. They all looked respectful to Liu Ruyan on the surface, but in fact, they always looked at Liu Ruyan with different eyes behind her back.
Beihe couldn't help laughing and said, "it's about Princess Sima."
Seeing Liu Ruyan's eyes, Beihe also sighed. Although he didn't know whether Liu Ruyan could really help, he always felt that Sima was very close to Liu Ruyan, so he held a glimmer of hope and wanted to have a try.
"Although I have discussed marriage with Sima, I can see that the person in Sima's heart is not me. Since your majesty brought the little prince to the western regions, the princess has often been absent-minded. I have never seen the princess like this..."
Then the North crane lowered his head, and his face was stained with some haze: "Princess Xima is very close to her mother. I hope her mother can help me more."
Liu Ruyan raised his hand and scratched his hair. He didn't understand: "why can't I understand what you're talking about? How can I help you? Doesn't Sima like you?"
After a pause, Liu Ruyan saw that Beihe's very good at riding, so he smiled lightly and said, "but it's not difficult. You can get along with Sima more. Don't worry, it's up to me. If you have time, please bother your son-in-law to teach me more about riding!"
"Of course, Princess Hui, don't worry. I'll give it to you." she solemnly hugged her fist and promised Liu Ruyan. Beihe made Liu Ruyan laugh, and the atmosphere became more active.
