Princess and the General

Three days later, the palace envoy Beili envoy.

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

The center of this palace banquet was on the people of Guhou House. Both sides knew this. Before Yufu entered the palace, Master Ji and other people sent secret messages.

Yu Fu was dressed up by Li Zhu and others in the room. While looking at many news, she smiled.

Yao Lan was picking jewelry for her, and when she saw her smile, she suddenly realized, "Miss, what's the good thing?"

"Mr. Ji, they have convinced Ning Emperor, the atmosphere of the palace banquet tonight will be much more relaxed. When tonight passes, tomorrow will leave."

"Really?"

Everyone was very happy. Lianzhu and Lianbi could not wait to go to Beili for a long time. They knew that the affairs of the Korean Central could be easily resolved, and everyone was relieved.

Yaolan picked from the jewelry box of Yufu, with red gold dots on her head, Cui Jiufeng dangle pearl beads, silver silk beads on the edge, peony flowers, and hibiscus flowers on the forehead.

In the end, Yufu said, "Go and take out the seven treasures sent to me by the former general. I will wear that one."

Yao Lan said for a moment, "Miss, does Mr. Chen say that Miss's clothes and jewelry are not available in the past, do you want to use Beili?"

Yu Fu smiled, "The seven treasures were left by the deceased wife. It was a gift from the general. It was different from other jewellery. I wore the pair when I entered the palace for the first time. It may be the last time I entered the Dongling Palace, and I want to wear it again. "

Yao Lan nodded. "Okay, slavers will find it."

The drum music was grand, and the feast in the palace had been opened. All the courtiers and Ning Chengzhi had arrived at the Golden Hall, and officially received Beili and his party as a courtesy.

Yufu slowly walked in from outside the hall, and the Beili Palace skirt with bright yellow patterns was wide-sleeved, and the majesty was daunting.

She was followed by Gu Huaijiang's father and son, Chen Jingxing, Ji Chengfa and others, as well as a number of Beili's ambassadors and attendants, solemn and solemn.

Ning Chengzhi's eyes fell on Yufu, and suddenly remembered the first half of the banquet, Yin Shuo quietly entered the palace and said to him--

"Your Majesty, does Your Majesty's Palace Banquet tonight allow Gu Hou and his son to leave Dongling?"

Ning Chengzhi was dressed up in the dorm, preparing to attend the state banquet tonight, and he didn't want Yin Shuo to break into the dorm to startle him.

He busily said: "How did you come into the palace? It is already the best of you to preside over the funeral of the old prime minister. How dare you come to the palace?"

Yin Shuo arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the court is compelled to do so. There are a few words that must be told to His Majesty. It is too late to be late!"

Upon hearing, Ning Chengzhi knew that it was about the state banquet tonight. This matter is about the safety of Dong Ling. He didn't dare to kick out Yin Shuo at will, and hesitated for a long time to decide to hear what Yin Shuo said.

Yin Shuo said: "Your Majesty must not let Gu Hou's family leave. Their family has a grudge against His Majesty, but it is the Beili people who saved them. His Majesty thought that Princess Yufu was Beili Chujun. Gu Hou and his son treated her like a kiss As a daughter, I will definitely help Beili against my Dongling in the future! "

Ning Chengzhi shook his head, "No, this has been discussed with Mr. Ji, and Guhou is not such a person. Besides, Beili has never fought for many years, even if the Guhou family is loyal to Beili Dong Ling uses force, and He believes in his loyalty to the Emperor. "

Yin Shuo's eyes flashed coldly, "Your Majesty believed in Gu Hou, and did you trust Gu Shubai? Gu Shubai escaped from the dead. Gu Hanmo's arm was cut and it is still unknown whether they can be preserved. They will not Do you hate Her Majesty? There is also Princess Yufu, who has always been resentful about Her Majesty's intention to marry her. Will she really not fight Dongling when she returns to Beili? "

Ning Chengzhi frowned and said impatiently: "Even if Yufu resents it, what can I do? She is the prince of Beili Tangtang, and she can hold her back?"

"Your Majesty naturally cannot detain Princess Yufu, but Her Majesty can detain the hostage to threaten the princess. Her Majesty thought, as long as the Guhou family went to Beili, the princess would have no worries about Dongling and could use force at any time. If the Guhou family stayed In Dongling, in the future, if the princess wants to use force against Dongling, she must consider the safety of the Guhou family. Isn't this more useful than diplomatic relations that can be repented at any time? "

Yin Shuo was sincere, and Ning Chengzhi fell into deep thought.

After a while, he said, "You are right. Xi Kun sent a princess to kiss her. Didn't she say she turned her face? Only when the Guhou family stayed in Dongling was the best way to check and balance Beili."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"

Ning Chengzhi awakened from the memories, and saw the palace person beside him quietly remind him, "Your Majesty, please invite the envoys of Beili to sit down!"

Ning Chengzhi said busyly: "Ah, yes, yes, Princess Yufu, please sit down, all envoys, please sit down."

After Yufu took his seat, Ning Chengzhi was about to order a dance performance. Yufu smiled upwards and said, "Dance music is unnecessary. In the past few days, we are waiting for the Ning Emperor to call in Guhou House. I watched it all. Presumably, Master Chen doesn't want to watch it now, does he? "

She looked at Chen Jingxing next to her, and Chen Jingxing immediately agreed, "Yes. I waited for the mission to establish diplomatic relations. Her Royal Highness is Chu Jun. The middle school affairs are too busy to delay for too long. Ning Emperor has let us wait a lot. Day, do n’t waste time now? ”

Ning Chengzhi abandoned the bed and forgotten food and talked with the ministers of the DPRK and China over and over again how to negotiate with Beili envoys, but Beili envoys watched song and dance performances in Guhou House.

How does this sound angry? Ning Chengzhi spent a lot of effort to keep the corners of his mouth from falling and forced a smile. "Since the princess and the envoys have seen enough of Dongling's dance music, then Just avoid it. "

Yu Fu laughed: "This is the truth, this palace came with sufficient sincerity. Speaking without evidence, please ask Master Chen and Ning Emperor to speak with the ministers."

Chen Jingxing immediately got up from his seat, and the Jin Dian suddenly felt completely calm. Everyone stared at Chen Jingxing and waited for his next words.

Chen Jingxing said loudly: "Dongling is a water country in the south of the country. There is no extensive pasture and grassland, and it is difficult to cultivate strong and powerful horse farts. I have a vast and extensive pasture, and the horses carefully cultivated can travel thousands of miles. Once the two countries are established, Friendly exchanges, I will send a hundred miles of good horses to Dongling to help you improve the bloodlines of the war horses. "

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

It is a fact that the southern part of the country is small, and it is not possible to cultivate good combat horses. Gu Huaijiang has also allocated a lot of funds in the army for the careful cultivation of horse breeds, but these years have had little effect.

Once Chen Jingxing's words were fulfilled, this meant that Dongling's war horses could soon surpass Xikun's war horses within a few years, and by then, they would have a great advantage over the cavalry on the upper Xikun.

Although Ning Chengzhi could not communicate with military affairs, watching the military generals in the seat seemed to be boiling, he also knew how good it was.

Chen Jingxing didn't seem to notice the response of the Minister, and continued to say: "Beili has good precious bird's nest, snow lotus and other precious medicinal materials, as well as artillery and crossbow. It never trades with foreign countries. Once the two countries establish diplomatic relations, Beili He is willing to open five trade barriers and Donglinghu City, and guarantee that in the advanced arms trade, Dongling will always receive lower prices than Xikun. "

There were already generals in the seat who couldn't help but stand up.

The price of the weapon that Beili sells to Dongling is always lower than that of Xikun. Then Dongling can buy a large number of artillery to fight against Xikun's invasion. Xikun people ca n’t get such a low price if they want to buy. Dongling will be bound to be a weapon. Press one head.

The conditions put forward by Bei Li's envoys are not only good, but also the piles and pieces are improving Dongling's military strength and combat power. Why?

Chen Jingxing continued: "There are gold, twenty thousand silks, thousands of silks, ten precious medicinal herbs, etc. as gifts for the establishment of diplomatic relations between Beili and Dongling, and they will be delivered to Dongling within half a month."

He said so much in one breath, and finally relieved, "The above are the conditions offered by Her Royal Highness. As long as Ning Emperor agrees, everything will be processed immediately. Our only condition for Dongling is to let the Gu Houye family follow us. Leave Dongling. "

The enthusiastic courtiers who had just turned away calmed down and waited to see what response Ning Chengzhi would make.

Ning Chengzhi has not yet spoken. Ji Xuanxian has helped the old man Ji to stand up tremblingly. "His Majesty, the old man thought that the conditions for the opening of Beili were very good, and His Majesty could answer. Not only should the Gu Houye family leave, but also It should be prepared with a corresponding generous gift in return to Beili. For example, Beili wants to give us lower weapon prices, and we should also lower the price of porcelain and woodware when trading, and gifts are still exchanged. "

Ning Chengzhi almost couldn't help glaring at him.

Would you like to let Yu Fu take them away from Gu Huaijiang? He is still hesitating. This season, Dao Gong is better, and he will help outsiders let him post things out.

Chen Ge Lao originally thought that the condition of Yufu was to take away Gu Huaijiang's family. At most, he promised verbally not to use Dongling in the future. She didn't want her to have so many favorable conditions.

He knew that Yufu was trying to reassure them, and indirectly assuring them that Dongling would not be easily attacked in the future.

He held Chen Chuyi's hand and stood up and said, "His second opinion. Your Majesty, Princess Yufu's conditions are sincere, and once we have those excellent warhorses and advanced weapons, Dongling's military strength will surely rise to a higher level. . At that time we don't have to worry about Xikun's invasion year after year, please let His Majesty promise! "

"Secondary minister!"

"The minister also seconded!"

All the ministers were attracted by those conditions in Chen Jingxing's mouth. Ning Chengzhi naturally knew that the other party's conditions were excellent. The only thing he wanted to exchange was the life of the Guhoufu family. For him, it was a sale that made no loss.

But he was a little hesitant to think of those words of Yin Shuo.

In the eyes of everyone's expectations, Ning Chengzhi slowly said: "The conditions of Beili are indeed sincere, but-"

Yufu glanced upward, everyone's complexion changed.

Didn't the palace banquet have been discussed long ago, why did Ning Chengzhi say it again?

Mr. Ji frowned and looked at him, Chen Ge old gave him a worried look, and Gu Shubai became nervous.

I only listened to Ning Chengzhi: "But in the end, Lord Gu Hou is my general of Dongling. Now that he has been charged with treason against the enemy, he has left the Dongling to Beili without knowing it. ? "

"Broken, this is not your Majesty's tone."

Suddenly, Yu Fu heard Gu Shubai behind her softly speaking. She turned to look at Gu Shubai and said, "This must be said by Yin Shuo and His Majesty."

Yin Ye had just died, and Yin Shuo was still suspended for review. He still had the heart to deal with the Guhou family?

Yu Fu's eyes were gradually frozen, and the coldness suddenly appeared.

Gu Shubai stood up and said, "As a Dongling courtier, Your Majesty may not allow my father and son to leave Dongling, but our Guhou Mansion will never accept any unreasonable crime. None of the Guhou Mansion, including the Gu Family Army, treason against the enemy. The truth should not be confused. His Majesty ordered people to check it for so long, but have he found any evidence? My Guhou government loyal to His Majesty, but His Majesty tried to copy my Guhou Mansion because of some fabricated evidence. Do you blame us? "

Ning Chengzhi was speechless for a while. In fact, he didn't really want to kill the gate of Guhou Mansion at first. It was Yin Shuo who made an idea for him to force Yufu back.

Yufu actually returned, but unfortunately when she returned, she was no longer Princess Zhenjiang, but Beili Chujun.

Yu Fu stood up and looked at him. "Even if Gu Houye is Dongling's courtier, now I have such good conditions in Beili. I just want to ask Ningdi for a few people, and Ningdi would not give it?"

Pei Zheng got up and said, "Your Majesty, it is better to ask Gu Houye for his meaning. Gu Houye is a veteran who has been loyal to Dongling for decades. If he is tired of fighting in the court and wants to tell his old man to return to his hometown, is it necessary for His Majesty to stay? ?"

He cleverly described Gu Huaijiang's departure from Dongling to Beili as saying that he would return to his hometown in advance, and this reason made Ning Chengzhi speechless.

The eyes of the people immediately fell on Gu Huaijiang. Gu Huaijiang slowly got up from his seat and bowed his head in a ceremony. "The minister has fought for decades for the emperor and his majesty, and he is worthy of the world and the people and the monarch. The minister is not too young. It ’s getting old and sick. Although there are a few sons under the knee, it is useless to be used by Your Majesty. Please read His Majesty on my saddle horse for decades and let my father and son leave Dongling! "

Gu Huaijiang himself said so, what's the point of forcing people to stay?

The courtiers quietly discussed, instead of leaving a general who had already given up on Chaotang, it was better to let him leave in exchange for Beili, and to exchange Beili's good horses and weapons.

"Your Majesty, please Her Majesty promise to pay attention to Hou Ye!"

The courtiers mostly spoke and persuaded Ning Chengzhi to agree to Beili's conditions, but Ning Chengzhi gritted his teeth and refused to relax.

Yufu looked at him coldly, and he said for a while: "Guhou is not only Guhou, but also Gu Jiajun's general. Gu Jiajun's loyalty to the major does not have to be said, you adults should know. You may have thought , Once Gu Hou leaves Dong Ling, will the army of Gu Jiajun leave Dong Ling also? "

Gu Jiajun is the mainstay of the Dongling Army. It is an indispensable lifeblood. It is really difficult to predict what will happen if Gu Huaijiang leaves Gu Jiajun.

Yu Fu secretly said: This sentence is still not Ning Chengzhi's own words, but Yin Shuo's words.

Yin Shuo was in Xiangfu, but his will passed through the walls of the courtyard and across the palace, and passed to the Golden Hall to control Ning Chengzhi.

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

Suddenly Yu Fu lost his patience in negotiating with him, Huo Ran said: "Ning Emperor is now worried about Gu Jiajun's centrifugation, is it too late? When you were going to cut off the gate of Gu Hou Fu, you thought of Gu Jia Jun And Chaotang centrifugal ?! "

Yu Fu's words caused the palace to fall into silence again, and Ning Chengzhi's face was red with embarrassment. "At that time, I was lacking in consideration. Now it is different. I have canceled the intention to cut off the gate of Guhou House. I promise not to Killers like Gu Houye, as long as they don't leave Dongling. "

Yufu sneered, "Ningdi meant not to agree to my Beili's conditions, and he didn't want to make good friends with me, didn't he?"

"No, I am naturally willing to make good friends with Beili, willing to exchange on the same terms. But the Guhoufu family"

Ning Chengzhi gritted his teeth. "They can't leave with you. Except for this condition, despite mentioning it, I will never refuse."

Yu Fu refused to budge. "Except for this condition, all other houses are not required."

The two sides fell into an unexpected deadlock, and no one was willing to give in. The two eyes met as if sparks exploded in midair.

Just when Ning Chengzhi could hardly resist, Yufu suddenly laughed.

"Well, since Ning Emperor refuses to concede, there is nothing to talk about. This palace will leave Dong Ling to march south and wait for the Beili Army to occupy half of the Dong Ling mountain, and then invite Ning Emperor to use Guhou Mansion change!"

Ning Chengzhi suddenly changed his face, and the full house was equally astonished.

"Princess, absolutely!"
