Chapter 711: Peace Talks (3)

The Ruyi courtyard is very quiet, not even the cry of insects on this hot day.

Ah Bao came back from the outside and consciously lowered his footsteps when he entered the house. After entering the room, I could smell a faint fragrance, which was the spice that Yuchen mixed himself. This scent just overwhelmed the smell of medicine now.

Abao walked into the room lightly, saw that Yuchen had fallen asleep, and backed out gently. In the yard, Ah Bao saw Nanny Gui and asked, "Mommy, how is Mother Concubine feeling better today?"

On the night when Yuchen received several boxes of gifts from Yan Wushuang, he had a nightmare and developed a high fever. Yuchen usually looks soft and weak, but he is actually in good health. Of course, the main reason is that she has a good foundation and has paid great attention to maintenance in recent years. She rarely gets sick. Even if she is sick, just drink some medicine. But this time it didn't work as usual, and it still hasn't recovered after lying on the bed for half a month.

Nanny Gui said: "Your Majesty is mainly suffering from a heart disease. If the heart disease does not go away, it will be difficult to recover from this disease." The main reason for Yuchen's illness is that she often has nightmares, dreaming that the old lady and Han Jingyan scolded her angrily, saying that she is the daughter of the Han family. sinner. In this situation, it's no wonder that the disease can be cured!

Ah Bao's complexion is not very good-looking, it's too much for her to call her father. It's not good to dig someone's house, but I went to dig up my grandfather's house. It's strange that my mother can feel better after knowing it. Just asking her to blame Yan Wushuang, A Bao didn't have the courage.

Nanny Gui said a lot to Abao. Before the two could finish talking, Shi Xiang came out of the room and said softly: "Princess, mother, your mother is awake."

Hearing this, Ah Bao hurried into the house. Seeing Yuchen leaning against the head of the bed with a pale face, Ah Bao cried out in distress: "Mother..."

Yuchen forced a laugh and said, "Mother just caught the cold, so don't worry, Ah Bao."

A Bao's eyes were red: "Are you still a little sick? I've been taking medicine for more than ten days and I still haven't recovered." Speaking of this, A Bao's tears fell down.

Yuchen took the handkerchief, and gently wiped Abao's tears: "Silly girl, you said you just got a cold, and it's not a serious illness. Why are you crying?" Those who didn't know thought she had an incurable disease.

Abao persuaded: "Mom, I know everything, so don't hide it from me anymore. Mom, things have already happened and there is no way to change them, so don't think about them any more." Thinking about it won't help up.

Yuchen's complexion changed slightly, and he said, "How did you know? Who told you?" Nanny Gui is not the kind of talkative person.

Abao sat up straight and said, "Father dug up the Korean government and found a lot of treasures. Everyone in the capital knows about it. Mom, it's not my father's fault. You should be angry. But you can't sulk yourself."

Speaking of this, Ah Bao burst into tears again: "Mother, you must be good. If you have an accident, my brother and I will become motherless children. They say motherless children are like grass, Mother, I don't want to be a weed that no one cares about."

Hearing this, Yuchen hugged Abao and said, "Abao doesn't cry, it's all mother's fault, it makes Abao worry."

Nanny Gui glanced at A Bao very appreciatively, the princess's strategy of mourning soldiers was used very well. I believe that my master will get better soon.

Just as Nanny Gui thought, Abao's crying made Yuchen feel very distressed. On the same day, I started to cooperate with the doctor, tried my best to drink the medicine, and tried my best to relax. Within two days, more than half of my illness was cured, and I was able to get out of bed.

Yan Wushuang went to see Yuchen once when she was ill, but she didn't go there again when she knew the reason for Yuchen's illness. If you want Yan Wushuang to say, Yuchen is completely hypocritical. Most of the things dug out were obtained by the ancestors of the Han family. Things fell into his hands, but it was a karmic cycle. But he didn't have the patience to tell Yuchen these things.

Meng Nian opened the mahogany curtain and said with joy, "Your Majesty, all things have been moved off the boat.

It will be delivered to the capital in a few days. "After waiting for so long, I was worried about something unexpected, but now it's all right, the things finally arrived.

Yan Wushuang said: "Yunqing and Han Yuxi have been eyeing this batch of treasures, and they can't be taken lightly before the things enter the palace." Yan Wushuang would not hand over such a huge sum of money to others, so he sent his confidants and soldiers to wait at the port. Then, as soon as the things arrived at the port, they were immediately unloaded and transported back to the capital.

Meng Nian opposed Yan Wushuang's decision at the beginning. He thought that sending people there with such a big fanfare would be tantamount to telling the secret whereabouts of the treasures.

Meng Nian was not at ease at first, but now he became more worried when he heard Yan Wushuang's words: "My lord, why don't you send some more people there!" Little mistake.

Yan Wushuang shook his head and said, "No need, two thousand elite soldiers are enough to escort." Besides these elite soldiers, Yan Wushuang also secretly arranged many people.

Ah Qian shouted loudly outside: "My lord, there is news from Jiangnan that Yunqing has sent 300,000 troops to attack Fujian." This news is not confidential, so it doesn't matter if others know it.

Meng Nian was a little surprised: "The peace talks didn't go well, so Yunqing sent troops to attack Fujian?" This happened too quickly.

Yan Wushuang said: "Yunqing sent troops, I'm afraid it was prepared with both hands. If Qiu Ye compromises, the peace talks will continue; if Qiu Ye does not compromise, then fight." Basically all the counties in the south of the Yangtze River have subdued, and Yunqing is now also I can free up my hands to solve the problem in Fujian.

Meng Nian nodded and said, "My lord, Qiu Ye might compromise with Yunqing's formation." Qiu Ye didn't want to start a fight, otherwise he wouldn't be sticky. Now that 300,000 Yunqing and Chen soldiers are on the border of Fujian, it is difficult not to compromise.

Yan Wushuang said: "Qiu Ye will definitely compromise." There was no suspense in this matter at all.

Meng Nian thought of one thing, and he was in a bad mood: "Qiu Ye and Lei Peng are in dire straits. Now that he has surrendered to Yun Qing, he will definitely send troops to assist Yun Qing in attacking Guangdong in the future." Qiu Ye's father, The one who died at the hands of Lei Peng, the two had such mortal hatred.

Yan Wushuang said: "The remaining four provinces will be conquered by Yunqing in at most two years, we can't stop this." At that time, he and Yunqing will be one south and one north.

Meng Nian said, "We don't have much time left." After Yunqing unified the south, the next target must be the capital. This battle is inevitable.

Yan Wushuang grunted and said: "Don't worry, Yunqing won't send troops to attack the capital in five years." In these years, the Northwest has been fighting every year, not to mention all the family assets, and the number of casualties is also very large. With the temperament of Yunqing and Han Yuxi, they must rest and recuperate first, and then save enough capital before attacking the capital.

Meng Nian said: "Five years is too soon." They must now restore the economy and expand the army as soon as possible.

Yan Wushuang smiled and said, "I'm really looking forward to that day." A fight to the death with Yun Qing and Han Yuxi must be a great joy in life.

Meng Nian was silent.

Du Zheng stationed in Qingzhou with 150,000 soldiers and horses. Qingzhou is only more than 30 li away from Fujian.

After the army had been stationed for two days, Cui Mo said impatiently: "Talk as soon as you talk, fight if you can't agree, and fight." Those with a bad temper hope to settle the matter as soon as possible. It is the most uncomfortable.

Du Zheng said with a smile: "The prince asked us to station here, just to frighten Qiu Ye and his party, not to really start a fight." If we want to fight, we have already fought.

Cui Mo is not opposed to the peace talks. Although he wants to make more military achievements, he also knows that if the peace talks are successful, large-scale casualties can be avoided: "Fujian is settled, and Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan should be fought next, right?"

Du Zheng shook his head and said, "Looking at what the lord means, I guess we'll have to wait until next year."

Cui Mo couldn't understand, and asked, "Why wait until next year? It's only the end of July now, and there's still nearly half a year left!"

Du Zheng said: "This time we suffered more than 300,000 casualties, so we must recruit again. In addition, the terrain of Yunnan and Guizhou is complex and full of miasma. If we want to attack them, we must be well prepared, otherwise we will suffer a lot." As for Jiangnan's follow-up issue, Du Zheng felt that Yunqing didn't have to deal with it, and just sent a competent and trustworthy official there.

After finishing their business, the two chatted again. Cui Mo said: "Yu Cong took two concubines, did you know about this?"

Du Zheng said: "I know. The two girls that Yu Congna took are for the sake of their heirs. The adopted child is not as good as his own. It's a good thing he can figure it out."

Cui Mo was very surprised and asked: "The rumor is true? Is the child really adopted?" He had also heard about the rumor, but he didn't take it to heart.

Du Zheng nodded and said: "It's true, Yu Cong admitted it himself. In fact, it doesn't matter if they were adopted, but the problem is that the biological parents of the two children are still there. You said that when the children grow up, what about the biological parents coming to recognize them?" What should I do?" Even if you don't want to recognize your ancestors, there will always be a estrangement between your biological parents.

Cui Mo frowned and said: "It's true that Yu Cong wants his own child, but sister-in-law should agree to this matter! You know the nature of sister-in-law, she can't be more stubborn. Yu Cong said quietly After taking in two concubines, my sister-in-law will definitely make a fuss when she finds out, and it will be ugly at that time."

Du Zheng shook his head and said: "When the child is born, what if she makes a fuss again? Can it be possible to get along with her?" Du Zheng has a lot of opinions on Lin. You should adopt a child in a fair and aboveboard manner, just because of her little thoughtfulness. Make it so complicated.

Cui Mo said: "If you want me to say, Yu Cong should take half of the responsibility for this matter. At the beginning, he was tougher, and nothing happened later. Now that he has regretted wanting his own child, he should talk to his sister-in-law instead. Cut first and play later."

Du Zheng said: "It is impossible for Mrs. Lin to agree to let Yu Cong take a concubine. Instead of this, it is better to wait for the two women to give birth to a child, and then go to the mother and keep the child. I believe she has nothing to say." If Mrs. Lin is really a concubine It's up to her to arrange this matter herself. How important an offspring is, but Lin's is like a child's play.

Cui Mo shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about it." It's hard for an upright official to decide on housework, so he should leave it alone.

Du Zheng changed the topic with joy: "I heard that a subordinate gave you a beauty, and you almost broke her leg. Is this true?"

Cui Mo didn't care about Du Zheng's jokes, and said, "It's true, if I don't beat him hard, this matter will never end. If your sister-in-law hears about it, I will definitely make me kneel and rub Clothes board." Others are afraid of being said to be afraid of their wives, but Cui Mo never taboos about it. His wife has endured so much suffering with him, and also takes care of the housework for her to have children, so it is right to give way.

Du Zheng laughed loudly, and after laughing, he said, "Aren't you tempted at all by looking at those beauties?"

Cui Mo said seriously: "Why are you moving? Those women are willing to serve us, but they are not looking at our people, but our current status and power. If we are still soldiers in Yucheng, do you think they will look at us? One look? I'm afraid that if we take one more look, we will feel that they will be tarnished." Although Cui Mo is careless, he knows what is most important to him.

Seeing this, Du Zheng immediately stopped laughing, and said, "Old Cui, you are right. For what you said, let's have a drink tonight." The two of them have a good amount of alcohol, and a drink will not cause trouble.

If Yuxi heard Cui Mo's words, she would definitely be very emotional. If all the people under Yunqing thought the same as Cui Mo, it would save a lot of trouble.

Han Jianming talked with Qiu Ye for half a month, and the two reached a preliminary consensus. However, it was Yunqing and Yuxi who made the final decision on this matter, so Han Jianming immediately sent the agreement to Yunqing and Yuxi.

Six days later, Han Jianming received a reply from Yunqing. After Qiu Ye got the news, he immediately came over and asked Han Jianming, "What did King Pingxi say?"

Han Jianming handed Yunqing's letter to Qiu Ye and said, "Look for yourself!" Yunqing's reply made Han Jianming heave a sigh of relief.

Qiu Ye spread out the letter, and after a glance, he was speechless. Yun Qing's reply was only one sentence, 'Everything is subject to the opinion of the princess. '

Returning the letter to Han Jianming, Qiu Ye couldn't help laughing and said, "I heard that King Pingxi was afraid of guilt, but I didn't expect it to be true." Before he was dubious, but now he believed it.

Han Jianming did not agree with this statement: "The princess is in charge of the peace talks." The prince is in charge of military affairs, and the princess is in charge of government affairs. If there is any conflict, the two will sit down and discuss it together. We can negotiate well, and everyone is happy. If the negotiation is not good, as long as it is not a big deal, Yuxi will usually give in.

Qiu Ye didn't argue with Han Jianming, and said: "When King Pingxi wins the world in the future, a Marquis of your Han family won't be able to escape, and you can count as seeking benevolence." He was also optimistic about Yunqing's future, otherwise he would Will not submit!

Han Jianming shook his head and said, "It's still early!" What Han Jianming wanted was the Duke, but he also knew that it depended on Yunqing and Yuxi.

Qiu Ye smiled and said, "Princess Pingxi was taught by you. Not even a Marquis would be too chilling." Both Han Yuxi and Han Yuxi can't treat him badly. Not to mention, Han Jianming has done so many things for the couple over the years.

Han Jianming was a little surprised, and asked, "Where did you hear that?" He had never heard of this.

Seeing this, Qiu Ye asked, "Isn't it true?"

Han Jianming said with a smile: "Of course it's not true. It is her own efforts that the princess can get to where she is today." (To be continued)
